The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 847
Then, Kong Jie, Li Wenjie, and Xu Guoan, who were the core leadership team of a team, conducted in-depth discussions and determined the combat policy and deployment regarding the winter counterattack against the Japanese army.

In the end, the three reached a consensus.

The winter counteroffensive has officially set the tone.

According to the results of the three people's in-depth discussions, this winter counterattack was roughly divided into three stages of operations according to the pre-plan.

In the first stage, military operations were the mainstay, supplemented by political offensives, and the main targets were the surrounding areas of a detachment, the surrounding area of ​​the main counties in the Japanese-occupied areas, relatively remote towns, strongholds, and villages that were relatively empty for defense.

It aims to capture some of the more remote towns and villages of the Japanese army, and expand the area of ​​​​a guerrilla zone bit by bit, thereby gradually weakening the strength of the Japanese army.

The second phase of the battle is dominated by the main force of a detachment, supplemented by local troops and militia troops, focusing on breaking the communication lines spread by the Japanese army, and trying to attack the Japanese army's transportation hubs, cutting off the supply line between Guizi County and the advancing stronghold. .

As for the third stage, it is to attack some county towns and some large strongholds of the Japanese army in feints, restrain the Japanese army's strength, attract the attention of the Japanese army, thereby covering the elite combat troops, secretly attacking the Japanese army's small and medium-sized coal mines, iron mines, and other military supplies industries, cutting off The devil's military resources.

In addition, they can also start to attack some Japanese companies, and at the same time cooperate with anti-corruption operations, publicize the anti-war ideology, and expand the propaganda offensive that "the Japanese army must be defeated and the Japanese army must perish".

When proposing the other two phases of operations, Kong Jie said: "These three phases can be said to be in chronological order and complement each other.

When the first phase of the battle, the capture of the remote towns and strongholds of the Japanese army was completed, it was also a cover for the second phase of the battle.

At this time, all the attention of the Japanese army was drawn to the remote winter offensive launched by our army.

Then take the opportunity to cooperate with the local army and the militia to launch a sabotage war without warning, mainly to destroy the devil's communication line, sneak attack on the transportation hub, and cut off the supply line.

The devil will be caught off guard.

After the first two phases of combat were completed, just when the little devil thought we were just playing around on the periphery, we took the opportunity to attack the devil's county town and some large strongholds, and we had to put on a decisive battle posture.

With the start of the winter counterattack, the little devil has no idea what our real purpose is. Even if our team is determined to take down some of his Japanese counties, the little devil will probably believe it.

Using this as a cover, we sneaked down some small coal mines, iron mines, and various mines that the devils have mined around us over the years.

This little bastard is invading our China and plundering our country's rich mineral resources. We can't just watch, we can grab some.

It just so happens that the various production factories and arsenals of our detachment are in urgent need of these military mineral resources!
Xu Guoan smiled and added to Kong Jie's proposal: "Old Kong, if you say so, since this is a counterattack in winter, according to the weather conditions in our area in previous years, there will be a heavy snow this year.

We have to make use of this heavy snow.

When a heavy snowfall fell, for the little devil, the mobility of various mechanical vehicles was greatly hindered, and even the combat of the flying team would be affected.

But for us, as long as we use it properly, all of these will not be an obstacle, and may even become our help. "

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Old Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Guoan replied: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

Once the winter combat is covered by heavy snow, we can use the camouflage of heavy snow, as well as the inconvenience caused by heavy snow and extremely cold weather to the Japanese combat troops.

But at the same time, we also need to pay attention to the soldiers' ability to resist the severe cold in winter combat.

So, Lao Kong, I think we have to prepare a few months in advance, one is cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes for winter combat, including camouflage colors.

We have to ensure that the soldiers will not freeze to death when they lie on the heavy snow to fight.

In addition, some equipment suitable for winter combat and transportation can be prepared in advance, such as sleds, the more such things are prepared, the better.

Once we follow our second stage of operations and successfully capture some of the devil's small and medium-sized coal and iron mines, emergency transportation will definitely be indispensable.

In the case of deep snow, even mechanical vehicles are not as good as sleds. They only need to be pulled by one person and one shovel to run. Our individual soldiers can transport several times more materials than usual. "

Kong Jie smiled.

The so-called hero sees the same thing, Xu Guoan and him thought of going together.

As for the preparations in this regard, in fact, it has already started.

Political commissar Li Wenjie said with a smile: "Every winter is the most difficult for our Eighth Route Army troops, lacking food and clothing.

It was easy to deal with in summer, but in winter, there was less food and less clothes, and many soldiers couldn't even carry it.

So in the past few years, after the economic situation of our team has gradually improved, comrades have never forgotten the pain that winter has brought us.

From the planting of cotton, the preparation of cotton-padded clothes in advance, to the slaughter of a chicken or a duck in the cooking team, the relatively soft duck down and chicken down will be taken out and used as thermal insulation materials for making cotton-padded clothes.

Coupled with the purchase of various external thermal materials.

Today, our entire team, the main combat force, each soldier has at least one set of cotton-padded clothes for the winter, plus a bunk for sleeping, and a briquette stove for heating.

In the words of our soldiers, it's as if this winter has never been here! "

Ha ha ha ha--

Talking about the changes in the base area, this earth-shaking transformation made Kong Jie and the other three couldn't help but smile on their faces.

In the end, the political commissar Li Wenjie was responsible for the matter.

In this regard, Li Wenjie even made an oath: "Please rest assured, commander, before this year's winter counterattack begins, I will definitely ensure the supply of cotton-padded cotton-padded shoes and corresponding cold-proof equipment for our combat troops."

"Also, just like what Old Xu said, prepare more sleds, and when the snow falls, we can go to the little devil's territory to pull supplies!" Kong Jie said.

"Hey!" Li Wenjie replied with a smile.

……

Time passed by so quickly, and what the soldiers felt more and more was the rapid drop in temperature.

In the next few months, there will be no major battles for the time being.

Kong Jie put his main energy on the economic development of a team.

In addition, he drew the corresponding drawings and handed them over to John, who then cooperated with the company behind him to produce some advanced equipment needed for mass production of penicillin.

Kong Jie is considering the location of the penicillin production plant.

In the end, it was decided to place it in the hinterland of a team, inside a specially built cave production factory somewhere.

The so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain.

After a team's industrial production capacity was greatly improved, the ability of the soldiers to mine minerals, dig caves, and build cave arsenals naturally also greatly improved.

Even if it is a hard mountain, with powerful excavation tools, it is still possible to create hidden and suitable caves that can be used as stable military sites.

These caves are hidden enough to not be afraid of the little devil's raid, but also safe enough to not be afraid of the reconnaissance and bombing of the devil's plane.

Kong Jie sometimes wondered if he should follow the example of my regiment leader and my regiment to hollow out the entire mountain and build it into the strongest fortification.

But in the end he abandoned the plan.

After all, defense is not a long-term solution, and we have to start attacking.

In the end, Kong Jie arranged the expected penicillin production factory in the cave, and all the corresponding medical researchers also moved.

Afterwards, Kong Jie only needed to find some excuses, and then relay the production process of penicillin mass production and experience in various aspects to the researchers who developed penicillin.

Next, Kong Jie only needs to wait for the good news from the researchers, looking forward to the day when the amount of penicillin can even be supplied to the entire Eighth Route Army.

This will surely save the lives of tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

On the other hand, according to the prediction of the international situation by the three of Kong Jie.

A team owned a large number of production factories in the Japanese-occupied area and in the concession. Kong Jie first bought them at a low price from John, and then sought cooperation with Soviet businessmen, and even brought in those Soviet businessmen. , as one of the minority shareholders, and directly handed over to the proxy.

Relying on the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty, and with the help of the golden signs of these Soviet businessmen, these production factories under the name of a team were kept in the Japanese-occupied area.

Everything is going on in order...

Once there is no military combat, Kong Jie, who always likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, handed over all the things in the regiment to the chief of staff Xu Guoan and political commissar Li Wenjie, and then he happily sneaked out of his busy schedule.

Chat with Lao Li in the morning, and study how the new second regiment is preparing for this winter offensive.

At noon, I will make a call to Ding Wei to talk about family affairs, and to find out about his new regiment's plan for this battle.

Anyway, the phone bill is free, so I don’t want to call for nothing.

At night, when Captain Kong was sound asleep, Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie were still busy with the affairs of the regiment!

Life is so simple, simple and nourishing.

Kong Jie has also become more and more compatible with his current identity, as if there is such a person in this piece of history.

until the eleventh.

This tranquility was temporarily broken.

On the phone, the brigade commander seemed to smile a lot more than usual, "Haha, Kong Jie, that's what happened, a team is an example of our Eighth Route Army's dual economic and military development.

This incident deserves to be reported extensively and notified to the three armed forces for praise, as an example.

So the headquarters sent a reporter over, preparing to conduct a two-month interview with your team, and you boy is ready to receive the reception! "

Snapped!
The endless phone calls just hung up.

Kong Jie didn't take it seriously at the time, and continued to live his little life until two days later, the communications soldier came to report: "Report to the detachment leader, the reporters sent by the headquarters have arrived at our base."

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Understood, you just need to talk to the political commissar about it, and it's enough for the political commissar to receive you."

"Yes!"

The little soldier responded, but he didn't intend to leave yet.

Kong Jie raised his head and asked, "Why, what else is there?"

The little soldier scratched his head, and replied cautiously: "The detachment leader, it means the political commissar, please go and meet the reporters who came."

"What's there for the reporter? I'm busy!" Kong Jie said with his eyes wide open.

Little soldier: "..."

busy?
He clearly saw the detachment leader sitting cross-legged on a warm kang, shaving peanuts and drinking some wine!
The little soldier who didn't dare to talk nonsense turned his head and walked away.

Not long after, a voice came from outside the yard, which seemed to be the voice of political commissar Li Wenjie, "Comrade reporter, please, this is the headquarters of our detachment. Yes, our detachment leader is at the headquarters now, and he should be researching What about the war!"

Li Wenjie's voice seemed to be raised a little louder on purpose.

Kong Jie who heard the voice frowned, secretly wondering what the hell is Wen Jie doing?
Why did you bring the reporter to our headquarters when you came here?
It's just that this image has to be paid attention to.

After all, it was a reporter from the headquarters, so it would be bad if this bad image was exposed to the ears of the brigade commander and the boss.

Kong Jie immediately moved quickly, and took all the peanut shells on the small wooden table on the kang to the trash can beside him.

Then he took out a combat map, put it on the small wooden table, and pretended to study it.

The footsteps were getting closer, and then the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Li Wenjie, who opened the curtain, grinned at Kong Jie with a bright smile on his face, and then said to the people beside him: " Reporter Shen, please!"

A figure walked in slowly, and Kong Jie didn't look up. He continued to focus on the military map on the small wooden table, and said in a generous voice with a hint of joy, "Commander Kong, we meet again!"

Why do these words sound familiar?

Kong Jie looked up and was stunned.

A reporter from headquarters?
Didn't this come to the independent group to interview before, so Shen Wenyue, a reporter from Jinnan Newspaper?
Beautiful things are always popular. When such beautiful things represent women, men are especially welcome, and Kong Jie is no exception.

Shen Wenyue's arrival was just a matter of joking, like spring flowers blooming in a trance, and the original chill in the room seemed to be dispelled a bit.

In the sow Saixi Shi, an all-bachelor army of the Eighth Route Army, such things as beautiful women are quite rare!

Kong Jie asked in surprise, "Miss Shen, I remember you were not in the Zhongtiao Mountain area? Why did you suddenly come to our Eighth Route Army headquarters?"

At this time, another kid came out from behind Shen Wenyue.

Kong Jie took a look, hey, isn't this Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu is a soldier brought out by Shen Quan. He usually has a flexible mind and solid training. Shen Quan always treats Xiao Wu as his younger brother.

Kong Jie naturally recognized Xiao Wu.

"I heard that Miss Shen went to the Zhongtiao Mountain area this time, and it was Xiao Wu who you protected along the way?"

Xiao Wu nodded, and then explained for Shen Wenyue: "Old leader, the people in the drought-stricken area in Henan south of the Yellow River are really miserable.

Reporter Shen and I went all the way. We saw it with our own eyes on the road. We could see several rotten corpses pecked by wild birds within two steps. There were old people, many even children.

The drought was so severe that a large number of farmlands were directly cracked and cracked, and even half of the grain or even the green seedlings could not be seen.

The common people really can't survive, so they can only find a way to escape to other places..."

Xiao Wu recalled what he saw and heard in the northern part of Henan.

When it came to the pain, I couldn't help crying bitterly.

It turned out that just a few months ago, Xiao Wu accompanied Shen Wenyue to go deep into the territory of Henan Province, and inspected the drought-affected disaster areas on the spot, and the situation of the people living in dire straits.

They use their eyes, memories, pens, and cameras to record what they see on the way.

The tragedy and desolation seen by the eyes, the self-reports and laments of the local victims of the disaster, and the anger and sadness that have been deeply excavated...

The two stayed in northern Henan for a long time and suffered a lot. Finally, they followed the refugees along the shelter built by a team and arrived near the Taihang base.

The only ray of light in a disaster.

That was the helping hand extended by the Eighth Route Army, the people's soldiers, to the victims of the disaster.

Shen Wenyue witnessed this with her own eyes and reported on it.

After the boss heard about this, he met Shen Wenyue at the headquarters. When Shen Wenyue said that the war should not ignore the hardships of the people, and that the people in the drought-stricken areas were devastated and devastated, the whole of China should know.

The boss expressed affirmation and support for this.

Knowing Shen Wenyue's identity, and learning that Shen Wenyue had been an army reporter for the Fourth Independent Regiment in Zhongtiao Mountain, including Shen Wenyue's father, also devoted himself to actively supporting the anti-Japanese cause.

The boss invited Shen Wenyue to stay at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Shen Wenyue, who witnessed what the Eighth Route Army did for the country and the people, did not refuse, and stayed at the Eighth Route Army headquarters as a reporter for the propaganda agency.

Afterwards, there was the scene in front of me. In order to set an example for the economic and military development of a team, it would be promoted to the three armed forces, and morale would be encouraged as an example.

The headquarters sent Shen Wenyue to a team for interviews.

After Kong Jie heard it, he was also moved.

In this way, he and Shen Wenyue really have some fate.

"Captain Kong, I'm afraid I'll trouble you for the rest of the time!" Shen Wenyue said, and for some reason, she still called her by the old name.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Of course, our team will treat the journalists sent by the headquarters well!"
