With the withdrawal of the Japanese puppet army's sweeping troops, the anti-sweeping campaign in the Niukou Village base area was officially over.

In this battle, the soldiers paid for their blood and precious lives, but they had no regrets.

"Comrades, this anti-sweep of the two roads of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, we have won, an unprecedented victory!"

As the regiment commander Kong Jielang spoke, the entire independent regiment base fell into a cheer.

The villagers of Niukou Village, West Village, Zhangjiazhuang and the surrounding villages who were safely escorted back from the rear also witnessed this grand occasion.

Looking at the traces of gunsmoke, the remnants of war in one place, and the remains of soldiers who had died heroically were retracted, many fathers and villagers burst into tears.

The devastation was enough to witness the tragedy of the anti-sweeping operation, but after the whole battle, the villagers were completely protected, and there were no casualties.

This is the soldier of our people, who keeps the danger to himself and the safety to the people.

Resolute faces, blazing eyes, but at a glance, these are all young children!

The old village chiefs of several villages shed tears and constantly thanked the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army: "Comrade Eighth Route Army, thank you!" Thank you! ”

The commander of the third company, who was thanked repeatedly, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but looked at several villages, as well as the villagers behind him who showed gratitude, and said: "Folks, I'm sorry, there are many people coming this time, and we couldn't protect the villagers' villages, and many houses in the village were blown down by the devil's shells."

However, please rest assured that our regiment commander has given an order, and after cleaning up the battlefield, our departments will immediately seize the time to help the villagers rebuild their houses after a short rest. ”

As soon as these words came out, the villagers' tears were even more sufficient.

Under the end of the sun, the military and the people are integrated, and the water and milk are blended.

After the soldiers had thoroughly cleaned the battlefield, they helped repair the collapsed houses in the village, so that all the villagers could be settled.

Following the transferred villagers, Shen Wenyue, a reporter from the Jinnan Newspaper who returned to the base area, witnessed with her own eyes the situation in which the Eighth Route Army was rebuilt from its roots after the sweep and was in ruins, and also witnessed the scene of the integration of the military and the people in the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

Under the inexplicable shock and emotion, Shen Wenyue filmed the scenes with a camera.

She also recorded the feelings in her heart, what she saw and heard, bit by bit, in her accompanying notebook.

……

Niukou Village.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei each gathered their teams and came to Niukou Village to bid farewell to Kong Jie.

"Anyway, the battle is over, Lao Ding, Lao Li, this time you have done my independent regiment a great favor, just rush this, I should leave you two old brothers, let's have a good drink, don't get drunk!"

Kong Jie said sincerely.

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Hehe, you didn't run away with this meal that Lao Kong owes us, it's just not today, the battle has just ended, and my new second regiment still has a lot of things to deal with, After the casualties and captures are summarized, I have to report to the brigade commander for operations!"

If I don't go back, I'll throw all these troubles to Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao will scold his mother. ”

Kong Jie looked at Ding Wei again, Ding Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "Old Kong, let's change the day!" You said that Lao Li, a guy who is addicted to alcohol, knows that he should go back to the new second regiment first, I can't even compare to Lao Li, right? ”

"Damn, Lao Ding, what about your kid scolding?" Li Yunlong scolded.

Ding Weiwei said with a smile: "Lao Li, don't say anything, let's go back in a while, there is still a part of the road that is on the way, just so let's talk about it again." ”

"This time in the anti-sweeping operation with Zhangjiazhuang in Niukou Village, Lao Kong staged a big show for us!"

"Just rush this battle, Lao Li, if we don't work hard, let's say it's the Iron Triangle, but the reputation that really spreads, I'm afraid there will only be an independent regiment."

Li Yunlong pursed his lips and said: "This is not wrong, they are all two shoulders and one head, a brother in a class back then, a comrade-in-arms who slept on the kang, you Lao Kong is capable now, I and Lao Ding can't always watch it, right?" ”

"Lao Kong, don't be complacent, your independent regiment has been developing for a while, you see, it won't be long before our Lao Li can catch up."

Hahahaha –

"Okay, Lao Li, I'll wait for you!" Kong Jie said with a smile.

After laughing for a while, the three old comrades-in-arms hugged each other and said goodbye, and agreed that after a few days, after the base area stabilized, Kong Jie invited Li Yunlong and Ding Wei to the independent group for a drink.

Kong Jie, who said goodbye to his old comrades-in-arms, also has no time to be idle, plus the independent regiment now has no political commissar, basically everything has to be handled by Kong Jie.

Kong Jie was really too busy, so he could only call Li Wenjie to temporarily play the role of political commissar, so he was busy for a while.

After the anti-sweeping battle was over and the battlefield was thoroughly cleaned, each battalion hurriedly counted the attrition of the troops.

In this anti-sweeping operation, the Japanese army came with the idea of destroying the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop, and although the Independent Regiment finally won a great victory, its own casualties could not be avoided.

The attrition of the fighting will cause the overall strength of the independent regiment to decline.

Many of the wounded were waiting to be treated, and Kong Jie ordered the expansion of several health clinics in the area to cope with this special situation.

Fortunately, after more than a year of development, the independent regiment has a fairly good reserve of medical supplies such as medicines, gauze, and bandages, which are enough to cope with the current situation.

All kinds of things are complicated, and the head of the Kong regiment handles everything in detail, hoping that he can restore the stability and combat effectiveness of the independent regiment in the shortest possible time.

Regiment headquarters.

Li Wenjie, who was arrested by Kong Jie as a "strong man", rushed to report.

At the gate of the courtyard, he saw a monk holding a branch in the middle of the boredom, and the monk kept glancing at Li Wenjie, Li Wenjie was puzzled: "Monk, what's wrong?" ”

The monk spread his hands in a strange expression, and said with a smile: "Instructor Li, I advise you to come to the head of the regiment after a while!" ”

"Why?" Li Wenjie asked.

The monk just smiled wryly and shook his head, not explaining.

Li Wenjie didn't think much about it, didn't bother to pay attention to the weird monk, and went straight to the inner room of the regiment headquarters.

Out of habit, Li Wenjie directly opened the curtain in the inner room and got in, then closed his heels, saluted Kong Jie, and "reported...... Before the words fell, when he saw the situation in the house, Li Wenjie was dumbfounded.

Reporter Shen Da was also in the house for some reason, and he was smiling at the moment, so amorous, Li Wenjie was a little stunned for a while.

Ahem cough cough –

Li Wenjie couldn't help coughing a few times, and then scolded the monk in his heart for not being righteous.

This bastard monk, I already knew that Reporter Shen was in the regiment leader's house, you just say it, I don't care about it, why do you have to come in so unsightly?

Kong Jie just glanced at Li Wenjie, and knew that this kid didn't hold anything good in his intestines, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Speaking of business, Li Wenjie hurriedly straightened up and replied: "Report to the regiment commander, the attrition of each battalion has been counted, do you see if it is ......?"

As he spoke, Li Wenjie glanced at Kong Jie and looked at Shen Wenyue, who was sitting.

Kong Jie said: "There is nothing bad to say, reporter Shen will report on the anti-sweeping situation of our independent regiment this time, and some data will also be used, which is more conducive to publicizing the heroic anti-Japanese deeds of our Eighth Route Army, you just say it." ”

"Yes!"

Li Wenjie immediately took out the documents made in advance and reported: "Regiment commander, after statistics this time, the reduction of each battalion is as follows:

The first battalion lost 115 casualties, and 240 were temporarily unable to participate in the battle, for a total of 355 casualties.

The 2nd Battalion suffered 91 casualties and 212 wounded, for a total of 303 casualties.

The third battalion suffered 45 casualties and 158 wounded, for a total of 203 casualties.

The fourth battalion suffered 85 casualties and 242 wounded, for a total of 327 casualties.

The fifth battalion suffered 74 casualties and 176 wounded, for a total of 250 casualties.

In addition, there is the attrition of non-combatants, the sick, the sanitary attrition, and the casualties of cavalry companies, artillery companies, and combat units directly under the regiments.

According to statistics, the anti-sweeping operation lasted nearly 9 days.

A total of 441 people were killed, 1,028 were wounded, a total of 1,469 casualties and a total of 1,553 attrition.

However, we do not know the casualties of the new 1st and 2nd regiments. ”

Kong Jie nodded, and then asked, "What about the casualties of the comrades of the local troops and the comrades of the militia?" ”

Li Wenjie said: "Regiment commander, this regular operation is basically carried out by our troops, so the casualties of local troops and militia comrades are much better, according to approximate statistics, more than 230 casualties, of which 98 were sacrificed. ”

"What about the casualties of the Japanese puppet army?"

According to the preliminary estimate after the end of the current battle, the Japanese army suffered more than 7,000 casualties, including more than 3,000 killed and more than 2,000 casualties of the puppet army, of which more than 1,000 were killed.

In addition, 16 seriously wounded Japanese soldiers were captured, and more than 1,200 puppet soldiers were captured. ”

The situation of the report has been fully reported, Li Wenjie took advantage of Shen Wenyue's inattention, squeezed his eyebrows at Kong Jie and said: "Regiment leader, this report has also been reported, then if there is nothing wrong, I will go out." ”

Kong Jie glared at Li Wenjie and said, "Go ahead!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Wenjie, who was amnesty, rushed all the way to the gate of the courtyard and scolded the monk.

After scolding, he was happy, and as soon as the conversation changed, Li Wenjie lowered his voice, leaned into the monk's ear and asked, "Monk, what's going on in this room?" ”

The monk smiled, looked like I understood very well, and said, "Instructor, you still don't understand this?" This is a beautiful woman sent to the door by herself! ”

- "Monk, what are you muttering about? ”

Kong Jie's voice came through the crack in the window.

The monk hurriedly responded: "Leader, I want to ask the instructor for teaching!" ”

After that, Li Wenjie and the monk hurriedly left, each carrying a little gossip.

Inside the house.

Reporter Shen did take advantage of Kong Jie's time to come to interview.

Regarding Li Wenjie's report on the casualties of both sides of the enemy, Shen Wenyue expressed considerable shock.

"Commander Kong, I have been working as a journalist for three or four years, and I also have a certain understanding of the casualties of front-line combat units.

"This time, the anti-sweeping operation of your independent regiment is really shocking, and the casualty ratio between the enemy and us is even nearly 10:1, which means that one soldier of your Eighth Route Army can even replace the lives of ten Japanese puppet soldiers."

"Oh my God, this is simply incredible, and I can't help but wonder what kind of uproar it will cause if the news of your independent regiment's anti-sweeping operation is reported this time."

Kong Jie was far calmer than Shen Wenyue imagined.

"Surprised? But in my opinion, there is nothing surprising about this, a saying that is widely circulated among the troops of the Eighth Route Army is that they all carry one head on two shoulders, who is afraid of whom? ”

"When it comes to fighting, why should the casualties of the little devils be less than ours to be the norm?"

"Compared with our troops, what is great about the devils is that they are well-equipped, their ammunition is sufficient, the training of the soldiers is more sophisticated, and the military quality of the officers is outstanding, and they have basically gone to military schools."

"But our Eighth Route Army troops also have the same places where we are far better than the little devils."

Kong Jie's confidence at the moment made Shen Wenyue subconsciously sit upright and asked, "Head Kong, can you tell me in detail?" ”

Kong Jie said: "It's very simple, we also have three magic weapons to win. ”

"First, we have ample strategic depth and vast combat space, and every mountain, valley, and river around our Eighth Route Army base area is something that we can imagine their outline and appearance with our eyes closed."

"Using the familiarity with the mountainous environment and making full use of the terrain and features is enough for us to fight more with less and weaken the equipment advantage of the Japanese army."

"Second, we have the people, a force that the people believe in with all their hearts, and they will definitely be invincible and invincible."

"In our Eighth Route Army base area, the villagers believe in our soldiers, and our soldiers also believe in the villagers, trust each other, and work together to resist the war, which is exactly what our Eighth Route soldiers will always believe that no matter how rampant and powerful the Japanese invaders are, they will one day be completely driven out of China."

As Kong Jie spoke, Shen Wenyue took out her notebook on the side to quickly record it, and every word Kong Jie said was regarded as a treasure by her, and she didn't want to be left behind at all.

"Third, to put it simply, because our soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are not afraid of death.

Whenever there is a war, you can go to our Eighth Route Army and have a look, and the commanders are all at the forefront.

They will not be afraid of death, soldiers will not be afraid of war, and soldiers will not be greedy for life.

So what's there to be afraid of?

Of course, to be precise, it is not that our soldiers are really not afraid of death, but that people will always be afraid of death, just for the faith in our hearts, for the independence of the nation, and in order to prevent our children and grandchildren from becoming slaves of the country, we cannot be afraid of death. ”

"So we don't fight devils for money, nor do we fight devils for food."

"We are for the breath in our hearts, but also for the backbone of the soldiers, for the dignity of the nation, to put it mildly, for our father, for our mother, for our children and grandchildren, to fight, to shed blood, to sacrifice, although there is no regret in death!"

"This kind of belief and persistence is by no means something that can be defeated by a devil with a cold weapon in his hand!"

"Powerful enemies can kill us and destroy us, but they will never be able to defeat our Eighth Route Army troops with such faith!"

The calm words are full of wind at this moment.

As the general of the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jie vividly expressed the image of a brave, iron-blooded, wise, calm and domineering general at this moment.

The horizontal knife was immediate, and between talking and laughing, the canopy was wiped out, nothing more than that.

As Kong Jie's words ended, the whole room became quiet for a while, and only the tip of the fountain pen used by Shen Wenyue, who was struggling to write, could be heard rustling and whispering between the white paper......
