After returning to the base area, Kong Jiele returned to the regiment headquarters leisurely, directly ignoring Li Wenjie, who was busy with the regiment, and connected the phone call of the new regiment headquarters.

"Hey, I'm Kong Jie, pick up your head Ding Wei!"

New regiment, regimental headquarters.

The communications soldier answered the phone, turned his head and reported: "Report to the head of the regiment, it was Regiment Commander Kong who called, and he was looking for you." ”

"Lao Kong, this guy, is really idle enough, he called me if he had nothing to do, shouldn't he be looking for me to chat?"

Ding Wei muttered, walked over in three or two steps and took the phone.

"Hey, Lao Kong, it's me, Ding Wei."

On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie smiled: "Lao Ding, we haven't seen each other for a while, why don't you take some time to come over and get together with our old comrades-in-arms?" ”

Ding Wei scolded with a smile: "Don't, we met half a month ago, and it's not from the eldest girl's family, I haven't seen each other for three days, can I still think about it?" ”

Kong Jie said: "Okay, let's get down to business, Lao Ding, you come to my independent group to have a look, and I'll take you to see an old man." ”

"The deceased?" Ding Wei was puzzled.

Kong Jie said: "Lu Shunmin, commander of the third battalion of the 28th Regiment, how is it, Lao Ding, you just say that you can't see it, right?" ”

Ding Wei was surprised: "Third battalion commander? How did this kid run away to the Independent Regiment? ”

The matter of going to the Tianjin Concession to pick up a group of experts, professors, and representatives was carried out in secret, so Ding Wei and Li Yunlong actually did not receive any news.

Now that the task has been completed and the ground has been successfully returned, this matter does not need to be kept secret.

Kong Jie told Ding Wei what happened.

Only then did Ding Wei know that it turned out that in the past two weeks, Kong Jie was not in the base area at all, but went to the Tianjin concession for a walk.

"The third battalion commander, this kid has always been clever, how could he be easily injured? How's it going? ”

On the other end of the phone, talking about the injuries of his old subordinates, Ding Wei's words were full of worry.

Kong Jie said: "Don't worry, fortunately, it was sent over in time, with the medical level of my independent regiment, the injury is stable, and after a period of recuperation, it will almost be healed." ”

Ding Wei was relieved at this time, but he noticed a new problem: "This matter is not so simple, the third battalion commander can be seriously injured, and the situation in Jizhong is probably not good." ”

"Looks like this trip is a must!"

Hung up the phone, Ding Wei, who had a decisive personality, made up his mind and rushed to the independent regiment without stopping.

At the medical center of the Independent Regiment, Ding Wei met his old department, Lu Shunmin, who had been absent for more than a year.

"Captain!"

Lu Shunmin, who was resting on the hospital bed, saw Ding Wei, and was about to get out of bed to salute in excitement, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

Ding Wei hurriedly went up and held down Lu Shunmin, "If you are injured, rest well, don't pay attention to these false courtesies."

Lu Shunmin, who didn't know much about Ding Wei's temperament, honestly lay on the hospital bed and saluted Ding Wei, and said in a more throaty voice:

"Old Chief, I finally see you again!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, talking about the past in Jizhong, and they all sighed and sighed.

Lu Shunmin sighed: "Old regiment leader, I think about how beautiful it was when you led our 28th regiment in Jizhong, fighting devils everywhere, and the scale of the army developed in less than a year. ”

"But later, alas, ......"

Ding Wei frowned and said, "What happened later?" Also, Shunmin, your character is cautious, and you won't fight a battle if you're not sure, how could you be so seriously injured? ”

Lu Shunmin said with a wry smile: "After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Japanese army launched one sweep after another against our Jizhong base area.

Due to the fact that most of Jizhong was a plain terrain and the Japanese army's transportation was convenient, the sweeping offensive came quickly. In the process of breaking through, the troops I led accidentally fell into the devil's way. ”

"When the two sides exchanged fire, the devils feigned defeat and retreated, and then hid artillery positions in the rear, and as soon as we rushed over, we were covered by the devils' fierce fire."

"The place where the battle was fought was too flat, and we didn't mention building fortifications in advance, the Japanese army hid four or five heavy machine guns in advance, and the fire suddenly broke out, and the soldiers couldn't rush up or retreat."

"A battalion of men! In less than half an hour, more than half of the casualties were killed! ”

Ding Wei was also annoyed when he heard this, and smashed his clenched fist on the bed, "This battle is too bad." ”

Lu Shunmin continued: "Fortunately, the commander of the second battalion came over in time to bring troops to support and cover the retreat of our third battalion. ”

"What happened to the 28th regiment?" Ding Wei asked.

Lu Shunmin said: "We broke through several times, and finally broke through, and the casualties of the whole regiment exceeded one-third. ”

"There are a lot of seriously wounded, most of them died before they had time to heal, and those of us who persevered to the end caught the merchant ship that Regiment Commander Kong and them came down from the waterway, and then they were sent all the way to the Taihang base area."

Ding Wei was silent, his heart full of anger and pain as he digested this information.

The casualties mentioned by Lu Shunmin are more than one-third, which in Ding Wei's opinion is not just a string of numbers, perhaps including too many familiar faces, familiar people and familiar names.

It was his old subordinates, his comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side.

But as the head of the regiment, Ding Wei never allowed the grief in his heart to interfere with his judgment, he calmed down, gently patted Lu Shunmin's shoulder, and said with relief:

"Shunmin, since you are here, don't worry about these things anymore, when you get to Lao Kong, you should eat and drink, the food of his independent regiment can be said to be the best in the entire Taihang base area, eat more, and your injuries will heal faster."

"As for the situation of the 28th Regiment and Jizhong, the comrades who have sacrificed, let's hide this pain and remembrance in the bottom of our hearts!"

"From a long-term perspective, this time you were seriously injured and sent to the roots of the independent group, which is not necessarily unlucky, but an opportunity."

Lu Shunmin wiped his eyes and said suspiciously: "Old leader, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ding Wei said: "Let me ask you, compared with the Taihang base area, is the situation of our enemy in Jizhong more dangerous?" ”

Lu Shunmin nodded.

"Why?"

"Because most of our Jizhong Military Region is in the plain area, it is impossible to use the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare like the Taihang base area on the plain terrain, and it can be fought or retreated, and the Japanese army's sweeping forces are highly mobile and the support speed is fast, and many times we carry out counter-sweeps, and our troops will even be divided and encircled and annihilated by devils."

Ding Wei nodded and said, "When I was still the commander of the 28th Regiment, I have been thinking about it. ”

"Compared with the vast guerrilla mountains in the Taihang area, the terrain of the plains in Jizhong is too terrible."

"These two sides, one side is a guerrilla war in the mountains and the other is a war in the plains, and the specific combat methods must not be generalized."

"Now, the direction of the Taihang Base Area's use of the mountainous areas to fight guerrilla warfare is right, but what is the most suitable tactic for the Jizhong Base Area?"

"I didn't think of a good way before, until not long ago, in the sweep of the Taihang base area set off by the Japanese army."

"In the process of counter-sweeping, the successful operation of the Independent Regiment in an open area that is also similar to the terrain of the Jizhong Plain directly woke me up."

"In that battle, the soldiers of a platoon of the Independent Regiment stubbornly dragged the attack of a Japanese squadron until the follow-up reinforcements of the Independent Regiment arrived and surrounded and annihilated the devils of this squadron."

"In the end, the battle was completely over, and less than a third of the soldiers of that platoon were killed."

Lu Shunmin was shocked: "Is the old regiment commander saying that basically the same plain terrain as our Jizhong Military Region, the soldiers of a platoon of the independent regiment have dragged down a squadron of Japanese troops?" That's nearly ten times the size of the Japanese army! ”

Ding Wei nodded.

"This is incredible, old master, how the hell is this battle fought?" Lu Shunmin hurriedly asked.

Ding Wei said: "Aside from the solid training and well-equipped fighters of this platoon of the Independent Regiment, the most important thing is that in this battle, they used tunnel tactics. ”

"Tunnel tactics?"

"Or I haven't seen tunnel warfare, but I've heard Lao Kong say that it is the most suitable way of guerrilla warfare in the plains."

"Using the method of earth work, a large number of tunnels are dug in the village and the surrounding areas, and the tunnels are connected with the tunnels, the village is connected with the outside of the village, and the village is connected with the surrounding fortifications, so as to achieve the role of secretly transferring troops to sneak attack, infiltrate, harass, and evade, which is an alternative method of guerrilla warfare on the plains."

"Lao Kong's original words are that we have no mountainous areas to use to fight guerrilla warfare in the plains, just like earthworms and pangolins, we will find ways to dig out channels for various combat functions underground, that is, we will use them as the depth and fortifications for guerrilla warfare."

Speaking of this, Ding Wei reminded: "So I said, your visit to the base of the Independent Regiment this time is not unlucky, but an opportunity." ”

"During the period of recuperation, you don't have to rush back to the Jizhong Military Region, but you have to take a good look at the roots of the independent regiment and study and study."

"Especially regarding the way this independent regiment conducts tunnel operations on some gentle terrain, the independent regiment is very experienced, you can ask Commander Kong for more advice."

"Learn all aspects of their use of tunnel warfare."

"After returning to Jizhong, I believe that if it can be popularized, it will certainly play a great role in the advancement of guerrilla warfare in the plains of our base areas in Jizhong, similar to the way in which the independent regiment uses tunnel warfare to conduct guerrilla warfare on the gentle terrain."

"In other words, Shunmin, you didn't come here this time to recuperate, but more importantly, to study as a student."

Lu Shunmin came back to his senses and immediately responded: "Yes, old regiment leader, I promise to complete the task and bring back the authentic tactics of Regiment Commander Kong!" ”

Ding Wei said: "It's not just tunnel warfare, you should also learn in other aspects, it's really not good, after returning to Jizhong, apply directly to the headquarters, and pull Lao Kong to give a lecture in Jizhong." ”

"Over the past year or so, Lao Kong has undergone earth-shaking changes, and you will know if you take a good look at the internal development of the Independent Regiment during your recuperation."

"Learn more from the independent group, this place is full of treasures!"

"Yes!"

……

After leaving the medical center, Kong Jie invited Ding Wei to drink.

Seeing Kong Jie's leisurely appearance, Ding Weihu said suspiciously: "I said Lao Kong, the scale of your independent regiment is not small now, even comparable to two or three new regiments, just like this, I am also busy in the new regiment, why do you look like a big idler?" ”

Kong Jiele said: "There is no war at the moment, there are political commissars and battalion commanders in the regiment, what are I busy with?" ”

Seeing that Ding Wei was dumbfounded, Kong Jie explained that he folded his fingers and calculated for Ding Wei:

"Look at the internal political work of this regiment, whether it is to make ideas for the soldiers or train political work cadres, Wenjie is in charge! And the instructors and instructors at the bottom, they can't take my turn. ”

"Doing business with various regiments, engaging in factories, controlling economic development, conducting schools, engaging in education, and engaging in some activities within the regiment, providing psychological counseling to the soldiers, the development of the Migrant Labor League, the movement of cold guns and cold guns, etc., all of which are in charge of Wen Jie, what do I care?"

"Even if it is team training, this matter should have been handed over to the chief of staff, but our independent regiment does not have a chief of staff now, so I will hand it over to the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander to be responsible for it together, which can be regarded as even the work of the chief of staff, which round will I be the regiment commander?"

"That's it, as long as you don't fight, hehe, it's not me who blows, let's be the head of the regiment is the most leisurely."

Ding Wei: "......"

It's really more popular than people, Lao Kong, this guy, can you still play like this?

The bigger the chassis of the house, the more idle this old hole is.

Ding Wei thought about it, this is not good, he can't just live a leisurely life, we have to learn this method.

How nice is it to shake off the shopkeeper......

Pity the political commissar of the new group who will be tired and complaining in the future, if he knew that the initiator of this matter was Kong Jie, I am afraid that he would scold his mother in person.

When Kong Jie asked, what did Ding Wei talk to Lu Shunmin about in the medical center.

Ding Wei said again the idea of wanting to promote tunnel warfare in Jizhong, and finally added: "Lao Kong, while Lu Shunmin is here, you have to teach him well, this matter can be regarded as I ask my old comrades-in-arms to help, and I will ask you to have a good drink when I go back!" ”

Kong Jie was stunned.

In the bottom of my heart, I admire Ding Wei's vision.

Kong Jie, who stood on the shoulders of giants, certainly knew how difficult it was to fight the Japanese army in the Jizhong Plain.

As for tunnel warfare, it was not until the autumn of this year, after suffering heavy casualties from the Japanese army's sweeps one after another, that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the Jizhong base area thought of the application of tunnel warfare.

Kong Jie has actually been thinking about promoting the application of authentic tactics to Jizhong after the improvement of the independent regiment!

Especially to deal with next year's May Day sweep in advance.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Ding Wei would take the lead in putting forward the idea of applying tunnel warfare to the Jizhong base area.

In this regard, Kong Jie had to admire, if he didn't stand on the shoulders of giants, he might not have the insight of Ding Wei.

"Don't worry, Lao Ding, this matter is on me. The operation of the plain terrain in Jizhong really needs to be coordinated with tunnel tactics, and I have long thought of extending this tactic to the base areas in Jizhong. If the commander of the third battalion is here this time, he will just take this road. ”

"During the period when the third battalion commander was recuperating from his wounds, I would never hide it privately, and if necessary, I could even go to Jizhong in person, just hoping that this authentic tactic could be popularized as soon as possible and applied to the entire Jizhong as soon as possible to deal with the sweep of the Japanese army."

Ding Wei nodded, smiled and raised his glass.

"Lao Kong, just rush this, I'll toast you!"

Bang dang, after the bargaining was missed, this matter was settled......
