After Shen Quan finished speaking, the other cadres felt the same way, and the first battalion commander Wang Leihu said indignantly:

"Regiment commander, when we were poorly equipped and ammunition was scarce, the little devils bullied us for not being able to equip ourselves, but later we were better equipped, and the devils couldn't bully our artillery.

In front of us, we are not short of equipment, ammunition, and artillery, and the little devil has driven the plane over again, and it is not good to bully our air power.

How did this end up always fighting this kind of grievance in the hands of devils? ”

"We can seize the equipment, and we can also produce some ammunition through copper dollars, but this devil's plane, we have no other way than to defeat it." Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said, "If we also have our own aviation force, how good would it be?" ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "You really dare to say and think, the aviation power of our Eighth Route Army is still far from the threshold!" ”

"It is unrealistic to build our own aviation force, whether it is a devil or a reactionary in the national army, they will not watch it."

"The industrial strength and economic conditions of our troops do not allow us to toss so much, and now pursuing these things is putting the cart before the horse, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"But then again, although we can't build our own air force, we can still try to create our own air force."

"For example, the method you reported this time to deal with the devil's plane is very practical, when the devil's bomber was flying at a low altitude, it used machine gun fire to strafe the air, and successfully killed the devil's three planes."

"Think about it, it only takes a few minutes for us to shoot down the three planes, but if we develop and produce these three planes ourselves, and then match them with suitable pilots, how much work will it take? You see, just the loss of these three planes, the little devils have to tremble in distress. ”

I heard that the national army has imported a large number of antiaircraft machine guns from abroad, which can shoot at low-altitude planes within 800 meters and enemy airborne paratroopers at a distance of 1,500 meters.

"I will think of a way in this regard, only if our independent regiment has a certain amount of anti-air power, the little devil's fighter will not dare to be so rampant."

"Actually, I have already told you about this, your battalions must not only study the tactics of fighting the Japanese marines, but also the tactics of the air and the tactics of dealing with the devil tanks."

"These things are prepared, sooner or later they can come in handy, this time the devil sent planes over, next battle, what if the devil sends a large number of tanks? How do we cope? ”

"Therefore, your battalions, at least draw a company for me to specialize in anti-tank tactics and anti-air tactics, so that when the devil's planes and tanks come, we can't be beaten unilaterally, we must have the ability to fight back.

I'll take the time to check it out. ”

"Yes!" The battalion commanders responded in unison.

"In addition, we must pay close attention to the air defense construction of our independent regiment, and the major villages must not be left behind, and each village, within 500 meters, should prepare at least two air-raid shelters, which must be enough to accommodate all the villagers in the village."

"Wen Jie, you and the other instructors are responsible for this and implement it."

"Yes, the regiment commander can rest assured that the task will be completed." Li Wenjie responded.

Kong Jie said: "Let's continue to talk about the seizure of our independent regiment this time!" ”

The cadres immediately pricked up their ears, and every time they won a battle, one was happy to calculate how many devils the team had killed, and the other was happy, that is, to calculate how many captures had been made.

"Yes!" Li Wenjie replied and said, "Regiment Commander, if you want to say that we are fighting an ambush this time, this Shijing Wing was caught off guard.

But the military literacy of these little devils is indeed not bad, even if they retreat in a hurry, a lot of equipment is taken away by them in time.

There are still some that can't be taken away, and they are simply blown up directly by the little devils.

Our seizures are not as impressive as they could have been.

Take the artillery of the Ishii Wing as an example, this time the Ishii Wing brought a whole artillery squadron over, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and rapid-fire guns, plus the artillery squad attached to each devil brigade, all the artillery pieces add up to more than 20 guns.

But by the end of the battle, we had captured only two mountain guns and three infantry guns, plus two rapid-fire guns.

As for this, only one infantry gun and one mountain cannon were not damaged, and as for those damaged artillery, it was a question whether the repair shop could repair them. ”

Kong Jie smiled: "Don't be sad one by one, this seizure is not bad, the little devil is really so easy to fight, didn't you let us rush back to the East Ocean earlier?" ”

"On the surface, we have captured at least seven artillery pieces in this battle!"

"As for the damaged artillery, the repair station will try to repair it as much as possible, and if the repair station really can't repair it, it will send the damaged artillery to the brigade headquarters."

"Anyway, keep these guns, if you don't have enough shells, it's useless."

"The brigade commander will repair it through our headquarters arsenal, if it can't be repaired again, we can't do anything."

The cadres nodded their heads, and the artillery matter was finished.

"In addition, more than 2,300 rifles, 225 pistols, 31 light machine guns, 9 heavy machine guns, 21 grenadiers, more than 2,000 shells of various calibers, more than 300 grenades, and more than 90,000 rounds of ammunition of various calibers were seized...... Damaged five trucks and three wreckage ......"

Li Wenjie finished the report in one breath according to the draft that had been prepared a long time ago, and finally added: "Regiment Commander, this is the specific situation of our independent regiment alone, and it does not include the batch of equipment sent to Regiment Commander Li and Regiment Commander Ding. ”

Kong Jie nodded, looked at Shen Quan again, and asked, "Shen Quan, how is the puppet army prisoners handled?" ”

Shen Quan replied: "Report to the head of the regiment, these more than 1,600 puppet army prisoners have all been arranged before entering the village. ”

"According to your rules and requirements, you are willing to fight devils, and you are willing to abide by the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, and you will be allowed to join our team based on your performance in the future."

"As for the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, I also made it clear to them, there is no military salary, the conditions are difficult, and this discipline must be strictly observed."

Kong Jie smiled: "Then how many people are willing to stay later?" ”

Shen Quan said with a smile: "Hehe, regiment commander, after saying the above words, I added a few more words, in addition to telling those puppet soldiers that being a traitor is a shameful thing, and fighting devils is what Chinese should do."

I also said that although our independent regiment does not have military salaries, some of the money left over from food will be given to everyone as pocket money in the rest of the month.

In addition, although the overall conditions of our Eighth Route Army are difficult, our independent regiment is different, and there is meat to eat every day. ”

"Just this sentence, the eyes of that group of people at that time lit up, it seems that the food of these two devils is not very good!"

"The back scared me, I was afraid that there would be indiscriminate fillers here, so I hurriedly added, I am really willing to fight the devil to stay, which one is just to eat meat and stay in my independent group, get out of the house as soon as possible, which dispelled the mind of some people to stay."

"But in the end, the number of people who were willing to stay was much more than I thought, nearly a thousand."

Wang Leihu said excitedly: "Regiment commander, these puppet soldiers, regardless of their nature, their foundation is not bad, as long as they are reformed, ideologically educated, and absorbed into our independent regiment, our independent regiment will have nearly 5,000 people." ”

"In the future, when it comes to strong soldiers and horses, it's not just him who is in the 358th Regiment of the Sui Army."

Kong Jie reminded: "I said at the last meeting that our independent regiment is now well equipped, but I also want to remind you that no matter what the equipment is, our focus at all times must be on the military training and ideological education of the soldiers, and this point cannot be put before the horse."

The same is true for now, and we cannot pursue an increase in troops.

This soldier lies in the fine, not in the many, no matter how many troops there are, if it is just a group of rabble, it is better not to!

Some time ago, the General Headquarters also put forward the idea of streamlining the administration of the army.

This is most in line with the development line of our Eighth Route Army, we are on the battlefield behind enemy lines, the anti-Japanese conditions are difficult, and the enemy situation is complicated; under such circumstances, the troops will have too many troops, on the contrary, it will appear that the target is too large, too cumbersome, and bloated, and it will even increase the economic burden of the local peasants. ”

Wang Leihu said: "Regiment leader, then what do you mean, we don't want these thousand captives?" ”

Kong Jie said: "Of course it is, since these people chose to stay after Shen Quan said those words, it can be seen that they still have a conscience in their hearts."

Know that as a Chinese, you should not go to the devil to be a traitor lackey.

If they have a minimum conscience, and if they are educated and reformed, they will sooner or later become trustworthy comrades.

But before that, let them take two steps, the first step is to be responsible for all aspects of infrastructure construction in our regiment, such as coal mining, such as land reclamation, cultivation and so on.

When they are sure that they can endure the hardship, they will be allowed to join the recruit battalion or recruit company for training.

After the training of the recruit company is completed, after the results are met, they are allowed to officially join our independent regiment.

In addition, in addition to military training, Wen Jie, as well as you instructors, should strengthen the ideological education of these new reserve soldiers. ”

"Yes!" The instructors responded in unison.

Wang Leihu smiled: "Commander, is this a little too strict?" I'm afraid that these people are not strong enough, and there are not many people who can persevere. ”

Kong Jie said solemnly: "If you can't hold on, it proves that they don't even have the basic willpower of soldiers, what do I want them to do?"

Real gold is not afraid of fire to refine, our independent regiment wants to grow, but what I want is elite soldiers, and what I want is for our independent regiment to unite as one.

If it is just a pure pull of people to gather troops, what is the difference between this and the national army that forcibly recruits and pulls strong soldiers?

I want you to keep this in mind. ”

"Yes!"

The cadres responded one after another, and listening to the speech of the head of the regiment, everyone can always benefit a lot.

Kong Jie changed his words and said with a smile: "Having said that, I set up such a test for these puppet soldiers who chose to stay, just to hone their will. ”

"But everyone, don't wear colored glasses, don't isolate these soldiers, think that they were puppet soldiers or traitors before, take care of them as our own recruit comrades, take care of them in training, and take care of those who should be close in ordinary life."

"The headquarters means elite soldiers and simple administration, what is elite soldiers? This means that it is necessary to downsize the main force and its command organs, strengthen the company, strengthen the local armed forces and develop the militia, strengthen the whole training, and improve the combat effectiveness. ”

"In streamlining administration, it is necessary to conscientiously rectify the political power organizations at all levels, reduce the number of institutions and personnel, strengthen the grassroots units, improve efficiency, economize manpower and material resources, and oppose bureaucracy."

"As for the main reason for this, on the one hand, it is to ensure the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the combat units, and to promote better integration and contact between us and the people, and more importantly, it is to reduce the economic burden of the base areas."

"Because the affordability of the people in the base area is limited, we have more troops, where can the people supply the food, drink and Lazar of so many of our troops? Isn't it a bloodsucking worm? ”

"But what about this, our independent group doesn't have to think about it, why? Because while our independent group is self-sufficient, it can even help the surrounding villagers in turn! ”

"Look, when other regiments tighten their belts to live, and even have to be downsized and disarmed, our independent regiment will still develop and grow, this is called accumulating grain, slowly becoming king, and we are not afraid of having food in our pockets." ……
