After returning to the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie immediately convened an emergency military meeting, at which he explained the situation of the Independent Regiment's preparations to join forces with the New Second Regiment and the New First Regiment.

As the commander of the independent regiment, Kong Jie's work through the command organ of the regimental headquarters is very simple.

It is only necessary to explain the specific combat arrangements to the battalion commanders and instructors below.

With more room to play, Kong Jie decided to leave it to the battalion commanders and instructors, and he only needed to play a commanding role.

Therefore, the five battalion commanders of the independent regiment and several instructors participated in this military meeting.

In addition, since Zhao Gang was transferred to the new Second Regiment as a political commissar, there has been no political commissar in the Independent Regiment.

After the start of the military meeting, Kong Jie directly led the content of the meeting:

"According to the joint operation of our three regiments and the division of labor of our independent regiment, the main area of responsibility of our independent regiment this time is naturally near Yangquan."

"What each of you has to do is simple, three things."

"First, the defense area of your battalions must not allow the Japanese army in Yangquan to support in the direction of Ping'an County and Taigu."

"This is also one of the main contents of the joint operation of the three regiments of our Iron Triangle this time, to disconnect the devil's Ping'an County, Yangquan and Taigu, so that we can carry out the next military operation plan."

"On the second side, the battalions immediately dispatched to rescue the villages and towns besieged by the Japanese puppet army, but I can explain it clearly to you, the battalion commanders and instructors.

We want to save people, but we can't blindly save them with our eyes closed, in case we again lead the focus of the devil's attack to ourselves, this is playing with fire and self-immolation. ”

"In addition, you should know very well what the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, and the National Army are, don't go and save people, but people will turn around and sell you again."

"Therefore, after the battalions launch military operations, those of you who are battalion commanders must control the timing well, wait until the Japanese army and the fighting Jin Sui Army and the Central Army are almost exhausted, and then strike when the time is right, defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop, and save the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army.

More importantly, save the people in the villages and towns and move them to safe areas. ”

"Third, after the end of the operation, it is necessary to shrink the forces in time and make defensive arrangements to prevent the Japanese puppet army from launching a counterattack at any time."

"This is the general combat deployment, do you understand everything?"

"Yes!" The battalion commanders and instructors responded in unison.

Then he explained some specific operational arrangements.

After the meeting, the battalion commander and instructors got up one after another, and when they were about to leave the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie explained:

"Remember the main goal of our independent regiment, to rescue the people in the villages and towns, and to eliminate the living forces of the Japanese puppet army."

"After completing the roundabout outflanking, the Japanese puppet army in the encirclement, including the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army and the local national army troops, don't care about him."

"After eliminating the devils, all the others will be regarded as puppet army troops, and they will be made clear, but if they don't disarm, they will fire directly."

The second battalion commander Shen Quan's mind turned the fastest, and he hurriedly asked: "Regiment commander, what if there are troops from the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army who refuse to disarm, saying that they are not puppet troops?" ”

Kong Jie scolded: ", the war situation is urgent, how can we have time to tell whether they are a puppet army or a national army?" First disarm them all, and then talk about them, and those who do not disarm them will be treated as puppet soldiers.

In addition, you can make it clear to them that we have disarmed first, let us ensure safety, and for the sake of the people, and then if we really find out the identity, we can return the guns to them. ”

"Really?" Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, asked.

Kong Jiele said: "If the commander of the first battalion thinks that the soldiers of the first battalion are not bad at equipment and ammunition, and he wants to pay you back, I have no opinion anyway."

However, if there is a seizure afterwards, when the regiment is distributed, there is nothing to do with your battalion. ”

"Yes, Captain, I see." The first battalion commander's eyes widened slightly, and he immediately came back to his senses and said.

Kong Jie shouted: "What do you understand? Tell you, don't think about it, let alone come nonsense, whether it is the Jin Sui Army or the Central Army, they are all anti-Japanese forces and our friendly troops.

Now it is still the anti-Japanese national united front, if any of you provoke the friendly forces, and then find a handle for others, and put us with a big hat of deliberately creating friction, I will settle accounts with you. ”

"Yes!"

The cadres responded in unison, but one by one they were careful with their own thoughts, and their hearts were like mirrors.

Then let them not find an excuse.

After the cadres left the regiment headquarters, the regiment headquarters suddenly became deserted, and only Kong Jie and Wei Monk remained.

Kong Jie needs to coordinate the overall situation this time, and he can't take the team to the front line in person for the sake of enjoyment.

To this end, Kong Jie advanced the regimental headquarters to the front line for five kilometers, and temporarily borrowed a small courtyard in a small village as a temporary headquarters.

In addition, more than 400 cavalry companies, mortar companies, guard companies, reconnaissance platoons, communications platoons, and commandos directly under the regiment were also stationed in the village with the regiment headquarters.

As a reserve, it is ready to support the five battalions fighting around.

And directly connected to the temporary command of the regimental headquarters was the forward temporary command of five battalions.

When it comes to the communication system of the Independent Regiment today, it has developed much more than before.

The means of communication have also changed from a single means of communication based on manpower in the past to a diversified means of communication:

Signal corps, herald cavalry, short-wave communication radios, telephones with wires, and smoothly connected regimental headquarters to battalion headquarters.

It is no exaggeration to say that Kong Jie sat at the temporary regimental headquarters two or three kilometers away from the front line.

In addition to not being able to see with your own eyes what was going on the front line of the five battalions.

The battle situation on the front line can be transmitted to Kong Jie's temporary headquarters in less than three or two minutes.

In the room of the temporary headquarters, Kong Jie and the monk were standing in the room, surrounded by the sand table in the Yangquan area that had been made a long time ago and had been constantly filling in the detailed content.

"Monk, are all the communications troops in place?"

While staring at the sand table to study, Kong Jie asked.

The monk replied: "Report to the head of the regiment, all communication units are ready. ”

"Over there for the mortar company and the cavalry company, the infantry artillery is coordinated for transportation, how is the training?" Kong Jie asked again.

This is a means of rapid transport support for the newly formed independent regiment.

For example, in the case of five battalions fighting on the front line, if the support of the mortar company is needed, let the soldiers of the mortar company pull the artillery over, and the speed will naturally not be improved.

However, if the cavalry company and mortar company can be combined, and the artillery can be transported by horses, the speed will be much higher.

Of course, this is only the current stage, although the speed of the horses is fast, there are still many restrictions, and Kong Jie prefers motorized troops.

For most of the past six months, the Independence Regiment has seized a number of transport trucks, as well as some military motorcycles and bicycles.

Although most of it was sent to the headquarters arsenal, some of it was left behind by the independent regiment.

Therefore, Kong Jie has always had an idea to form a motorized combat unit belonging to an independent regiment.

As for the specific mechanical aspects, bicycles, motorcycles, transport trucks, etc., can all come in handy.

As for the problem that the area around the independent regiment is mostly mountainous, it is not troublesome, and it is not difficult to open up a trail between the mountains that can be carried out by motorized troops.

In addition to the mountainous terrain, there are also some open areas around the station, which will also find a place to use.

"The regiment commander, Company Commander Sun and Zhu Zi said that as long as the front-line combat troops are in need, the cavalry company can assist the mortar company and arrive at the battlefield within fifteen minutes, and if it is only to assist in transporting a mortar platoon, this time can be shortened."

The monk replied.

Kong Jie nodded, his gaze refocused on the sand table.

Strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, this feeling is indeed refreshing.

There is a sense of being in control of the overall situation!

"Monk, pass the order down, let the cavalry company and the mortar company stay in one place for the time being, waiting for the order of the regiment headquarters at any time."

"Let the communications platoon also take action, although we now have short-wave radios and connected telephones, which can carry out short-distance communication transmission within two or three kilometers, but we are afraid that something will happen on the way, and the communication platoon must respond in time."

"Yes!"
