As for those who are unwilling to stay in the independent regiment and still want to go back to be traitors, the reasons are also sufficient, some are because their families are controlled by devils, some are afraid of death, and some want to eat with their mouths, pay their entire military salary, and support their families.

Kong Jie has always understood these reasons, so according to Kong Jie's practice, as long as these soldiers surrendered their guns and ammunition, they were put back, and even paid some travel expenses.

"Putting these puppet soldiers back will be very good for our propaganda behind enemy lines.

After these puppet soldiers go back, the news will spread, and the puppet army troops have encountered our independent regiment, even if they surrender and become prisoners, our independent regiment will not want their lives.

In this way, if you encounter the puppet soldiers of our independent regiment in the future, you will not resist desperately.

Anyway, if you surrender, you can survive, if you resist desperately, you won't even lose your life, these puppet soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they naturally know what to do.

On the other hand, if we don't let go of this group of puppet troops, how can there be any puppet army that dares to easily disarm and surrender in the future? Surrender is also a dead end, it is better to fight with the Eighth Road!

In addition, the puppet army is our mobile arsenal, you said that so many empty-handed puppet troops fled back, and the puppet government can say that they will not be assigned a single gun?

We can't kill chickens and take eggs, we have to understand the truth of thin water. ”

……

Then he talked about strengthening the local armed forces and developing the militia, strengthening the whole training, and improving the combat effectiveness.

Kong Jie said: "On the one hand, the militia building in various villages should continue to develop steadily and gradually, and our cadres in charge of this aspect will conscientiously implement it. ”

"In addition, during this period of time, the militia construction in many villages around us has developed well, and I think it is necessary for us to set up two district squads to build a strong local armed force to cooperate with the operation of our regular combat troops."

Shen Quan said with a smile: "Regiment Commander, this is a good thing, after the battle in Zhangjiazhuang before, the militia comrades have been pestering me, ask the regiment commander when you can agree to join the independent regiment!"

Now that the district squad has been formed, the militia comrades must be very happy to be able to enter the district squad to fight devils. ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Tell the militia comrades for me, everyone has a chance to fight devils, this matter cannot be rushed, now what everyone has to do is to work hard to improve their ability to fight devils, when to train military skills solidly, have the ability to kill devils, the door of the independent regiment is open for everyone at any time." ”

"Yes!" Shen Quan replied with a smile.

"Okay, that's all for the time being, let's talk about the summary of this battle, which of you has thought about speaking freely, and the instructors are ready to take notes and summarize."

After Kong Jie finished speaking, the first to speak this time was the first battalion commander Wang Leihu:

"Regiment commander, through this actual battle, it has been proved that our artillery group tactics are really too practical, and I think our artillery group tactics must be further developed, once this tactic is on the battlefield, it is simply the nemesis of the devil's light and heavy machine guns and grenadier firepower."

"Gunner, ammunitionman, observer, a simple team of three."

"After the battle started, it was the grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns of the devils, it was the devils who bullied us with grenadiers in the past, and the light and heavy machine gun firepower that we didn't have much on our side just appeared, and the grenadier shells of the devils smashed over, so how many machine guns and machine gunners did we lose?"

"But what is it now? There is a saying that Feng Shui takes turns, and now it's the turn of the little devil to taste it.

The devil's grenadier has just emerged, and the shells of the 50 cannon, which has a longer range and more power, are smashed at the devil's grenadier. ”

"As soon as the devil's light and heavy machine gun fire point appears, needless to say, the observer of our artillery team on our side can use the rangefinder telescope to lock the specific location of the devil's light and heavy machine gun fire point at the first time, and direct the shells to smash over."

"This little devil has no machine gun fire and the cover of grenadiers, how can he still have the previous sharpness, and he was pressed and beaten by us the whole time."

Shen Quan echoed: "Yes, regiment commander, we have never fought such a happy battle, you are right, the main weapon of this devil to cause casualties to us is on this bomb canister."

As long as we can restrain the devil's grenadier firepower, this little devil is nothing. ”

The other battalion commanders and instructors also nodded.

It seems that this is almost the case in actual combat.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has tasted the sweetness of this kind of artillery group tactics, but we still have a lot to learn!" Remember, infantry is our most valuable asset at all times.

On the battlefield, why should we take the lead in knocking out important firepower points such as grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns of devils? That is to protect the safety of our infantry.

In a hot weapons duel, whoever can better protect their infantry will not be far from victory. ”

At this time, instructor Li Wenjie put forward his discovery on the battlefield again, and said: "Regiment commander, our independent regiment has not stopped training the soldiers' marksmanship for nearly a year.

But because of our limited ammunition, it is impossible to reach the intensity of the devil's live-fire training.

Although the marksmanship of our soldiers has improved a lot, such as the Ninth Company where I was originally located, the marksmanship of the soldiers is not much better than that of the devils.

But on the whole, our marksmanship is still lacking compared with the little devil's marksmanship. ”

"But I found that our lack of marksmanship with the devils is mainly after a distance of 200 meters."

"Because the devil's gun is better, the bullets are more abundant, and the devil's live-ammunition training is more sufficient, at a distance of more than 200 meters, when our two sides are firing each other, some old devils with fast training are far better than our fighters in marksmanship."

"But if the distance is within 200 meters, our soldiers' marksmanship is not much worse than that of the little devil."

"It's like two soldiers with a big difference in marksmanship, if it's a duel within 20 meters, the main thing is speed, and the difference in marksmanship will be narrowed."

"If it's just a comparison of speed, our fighters are not inferior to little devils in this regard, after all, there is no need to waste ammunition to practice guns and aim at these things, and we can train more and harder than devils."

"What I mean by saying this is that I suggest that in the future, when we encounter devils on the battlefield again, try to put the distance between the two sides within 200 meters, and our soldiers should focus on training for rapid and accurate strikes within 200 meters, and try not to engage in firepower exchanges with the Japanese army at a distance of 200 meters."

After Li Wenjie's analysis, all the cadres applauded.

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, did not hesitate to praise: "It is worthy of being the original instructor of the Ninth Company of the Divine Spear, Wen Jie, your analysis is too good, and at a distance of less than 200 meters, our red-headed bullets can still come in handy, which is indeed a factor that we should consider in future battles." ”

……

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, everyone thought of what to say, and did not pay attention to good or bad, in short, brainstorming, gathering everyone's wisdom, saying it out and making progress together, analyzing together!

Summing up and studying after the war is a consistent tradition of the Eighth Route Army.

In Kong Jie's words, only by combining practice with theory, while fighting, learning, and summing up, can one truly grow into an excellent commander.

Remember, your best teacher is your most troublesome opponent.

At the meeting, Kong Jie also put forward the idea of forming a military engineering team behind enemy lines, which should be started by the corresponding cadres.

...... "Okay, then that's all for today, let's dismiss!" ”

After the meeting, Kong Jie asked the monk to call Dong San, the head of the logistics department.

"Commander, you're looking for me!"

Kong Jie asked, "How is the matter of chicken essence?" ”

Kong Jie is still worried about the production of chicken essence by the independent regiment.

After discussing with Dong San and Xu Qingnian last time, Dong San was solely responsible, looking for some comrades in the cooking class in the group, and trying to use the monosodium glutamate bought from the county town, plus some salt, sugar, chicken powder and other ingredients, to try to mix chicken essence.

Kong Jie wrote out some ingredients according to his memory, and asked the comrades in the cooking class to try to mix them.

Dong San said with a smile: "Leader, the blending of this chicken essence should be said to be almost, the old squad leaders of the cooking class have tasted it, the taste is indeed more delicious than monosodium glutamate, and it also has the fragrance of chicken, a very unique seasoning." ”

"The main raw materials are also convenient, let's buy back MSG from the county town of Guizi, as the main ingredient, plus a few ingredients, you can mix chicken essence, turn your hand and sell it at a higher price, you can make a lot of net money."

Kong Jie said: "I don't ask about the process or anything, you can determine the taste or anything, I just ask when it can be mass-produced." ”

Dong San thought for a while and replied: "The ratio of seasonings must be determined, and the repair institute must also prepare a set of equipment for the production of chicken essence. ”

Kong Jie said: "Then give you half a month, after half a month, the sale of this chicken essence must become one of the items of our independent group, how about it, can it be done?" ”

Dong Sanying said: "Leader, don't worry!" ”

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

After Dong San left, Kong Jie called Ye Min again, and first asked about Yangquan's current specific situation.

Ye Minle said: "Hehe, regiment commander, after we successfully blew up the medicine hoarded by the devils, as well as the military hospital of the Yangquan devils, the wounded soldiers of the devils were in a hurry to use the medicine, and now there is no medicine, it is called a miserable." ”

"They only sneaked into the county seat in the morning to investigate, good guys, the little devil cremated several waves of wounded soldiers!"

Kong Jie said: "It's good to die, I have already conveyed the order, all battalions are ready to cooperate with your actions, you are keeping an eye on this side, all roads that may enter Yangquan cannot be let go, don't let any medicine from the devil be transported into Yangquan." ”

"Death is not necessarily terrible, I just want to let these devil wounded soldiers wait for death, this is the most terrible."

"What, think I'm cruel?"

Ye Min hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where is this?" Captain, I just think it's so relieving. ”

"Compared with the cruelty inflicted on our Chinese nation by the little devils, what we have done is nothing more than what happened." Kong Jie said in a deep voice.

……

……

Yang Spring.

The real situation is even more tragic than Ye Min's understatement.

Of course, this misery is only for the Japanese in Yangquan.

In the first battle of Zhangjiazhuang, although the Shijing Wing successfully evacuated, it brought back a large number of wounded soldiers, including more than 200 seriously wounded and 7 or 800 lightly wounded.

In thermal weapons warfare, wounded soldiers who retreat from the battlefield can easily die of wound infection, even if it is not a large wound, if it is not treated in time, once the infection is aggravated, it can also endanger the life of the wounded soldier.

At this time, the commando team blew up all kinds of antibacterial and anti-infective drugs hoarded by the Yangquan devils in one fell swoop.

Isn't this the life of a devil's wounded soldier?

Kazuo Kawashima, a doctor of the devil's army, told Ishii Haraichi that the wounded soldiers could hold out for up to five days at most, and the wounds would start to become infected, and the condition would gradually deteriorate over time.

Ishiihara did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly asked for help from the surrounding counties, preparing to transport a batch of medicines from Shouyang, Tan County and other places.

Originally, everything was discussed, but the team transporting the medicines was ambushed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the way, and some of the medicines were snatched away, and some were directly blown up.

The medicines that were originally intended to be delivered in three ways were all destroyed without exception.

When the news reached Yangquan, the captain of the Devil Wing, Ishii Haraichi, was completely furious.

"These damn Eighth Route Army, what the hell are they going to do?"

Then, under the arrangement of Ishii Haraichi, Shouyang and Tan County and other places took advantage of the night to transport medicines to Yangquan.

It's a pity that Ishii Haraichi probably didn't expect the enemy engineering department of the independent regiment to be powerful, and the enemy engineering department had already infiltrated Yangquan and the surrounding counties.

Even the puppet army guarding the city gate has the internal response of the enemy engineering department of the independent regiment.

In this way, the information that the devil was transporting medicines in the middle of the night still reached Kong Jie's ears, and Kong Jie immediately arranged a team to block the attack, and robbed the medicine sent to Yangquan halfway.

Tossed back and forth, two days passed, those lightly injured devil soldiers were better, the seriously injured wounds festered much faster, and gradually they couldn't hold on, and the seriously wounded devils died every day.

In the end, Yoshio Shinozuka, who heard the news, was furious, quickly increased his troops in Shouyang, and directly arranged a full brigade from Shouyang, escorting a batch of medicines all the way to Yangquan, which solved the dilemma of the lack of medicine for the wounded soldiers of Yangquan devils.

In the end, because of the delay in the use of medicine, nearly half of the devil's seriously injured people died.

The angry Ishii Haraichi swore a poisonous oath again and again, and the independent regiment vowed not to give up.

……

Taiyuan City.

The headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi.

Commander Yoshio Shinozuka sat in the main seat, and in the second seat were Kazuki Yamamoto and Ishii Haraichi, and at this moment these two Japanese masters were hanging their heads.

Until Yoshio Shinozuka spoke: "Yamamoto-kun, Ishii-kun, raise your head." ”

"Hey!"

Kazuki Yamamoto and Ishii Haraichi raised their heads.

"General—"

Yoshio Shinozuka raised his hand and said with relief: "Needless to say, the fault of this defeat is not only you, but also my lack of intelligence collection and understanding of this independent regiment, and we underestimate this independent regiment too much." ”

"Your Excellency the Commander has sent an order that on the 12th, a spring sweep of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area will be launched."

"The purpose of this sweep, I think you also know a thing or two, on the one hand, it is to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army and destroy the anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area, and on the other hand, it is to suppress the Eighth Route Army and take the opportunity to respond to the main force of our army to march to the south of Jin."

"And what I need you to do is to focus on this independent regiment in this sweep, take advantage of the army to press the border, and destroy it in one fell swoop."

"If the strength of a wing is not enough, then a brigade and regiment, and you will be equipped with tank troops, and air support can also arrive at any time, not only this independent regiment, but also the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment around it, will have to be uprooted."

"Hey!" Yamamoto and Ishiihara responded in unison.

Ishii Hara was thinking in his heart that a sweep would be launched on the 12th, that is to say, there were less than two days to go, and the opportunity to be ashamed was close at hand, and this time he would definitely break the independent group into pieces.

"As for launching the spring sweep of the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army still appeased them according to the usual practice to prevent them from interfering in our battle with the Eighth Route Army."

"The more ferocious my Japanese Empire's sweep of the Eighth Route Army is, the more it can paralyze the Central Army in Jinnan, how could they have thought that in front of us we are attacking the Eighth Route Army with all our might, but the next moment we turn our guns and attack him directly in Jinnan?"

"We, the selfish opponents, often talk about the truth of dead lips and cold teeth, but we will never really understand it."
