Independent regiment base area.

With the development of the economy and the resettlement of foreign disaster victims, the scale of the base areas is getting bigger and bigger.

Some guerrilla areas that originally belonged to the periphery of the independent regiment base area were soon developed into substantial anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

On the one hand, the news that the Workers' League had been falsely rumored to be the military armament of the Eighth Route Army continued to brew.

As the dramatization of the situation intensified, not only the Japanese army, but even some of the surrounding Jin Sui troops believed that the independent regiment was rapidly expanding.

On the other hand, the independent regiment was guided by the manual "Principles and Specific Measures for the Registration and Resettlement of Disaster Victims from Outside the Base Areas" written by Kong Jie himself.

In addition, Dong San, Xu Qingnian, and Li Wenjie are convinced of the demographic dividend proposed by Kong Jie.

Receiving the victims is the responsibility that the Eighth Route Army should bear for the people.

As a result, the base area of the Independent Regiment has been receiving the victims who have fled one after another.

Some of them fled from northern Henan when they took John's caravan and traveled through the Yellow River; Some fled from the southern Hebei region; Some are simply local to Shanxi.

Since mid-July.

The drought has been spreading in all provinces, especially in many places in Henan, and then spread to Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, northern Hubei and northern AH.

In these severely affected places, the tragic scenes of mourning and starvation have long been unbearable.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army had specially sent people to various places to investigate the local disaster situation, and when the soldiers sent to investigate returned to report the situation, their eyes were full of tears, and the tragic scene they witnessed was almost speechless.

Naturally, the Japanese invaders in the occupied areas did not care about the lives of the Chinese victims.

In order to continue the military process of aggression and expansion, the devils even increased taxes and oppressed the people, making it more and more difficult for the people to continue under the disaster.

What's more, the little devil who does everything is really according to the worst situation that Kong Jie has ever guessed.

After the appearance of refugees in the county seats, villages and towns, the devils did not assume the responsibility of the tax government, but directly drove these victims and refugees in the direction of the Eighth Route Army base in the mountainous areas.

These little devils who exterminate humanity did not settle the refugees, and watched them starve to death and die of disease.

There are even little devils who are so mad that they make a fuss about these refugees, and suggest that when the refugees are driven to the base of the Eighth Route Army, they should disguise some Japanese troops in the refugee team and lure the Eighth Route Army to appear, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack.

For this reason, in the vicinity of Taihang Genzhen, some units of the Eighth Route Army who took care of the resettlement and rescue of refugees did suffer a lot of losses.

Soon after, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army issued instructions for the work of each regiment, which stated:

Each regiment should do its best to resettle refugees and help the people in accordance with the economic situation of their respective areas of origin.

Take the initiative and actively stand up and shoulder the responsibility that the people's soldiers should shoulder when the people are in danger.

After the order of the headquarters was issued, the regiments in the Taihang base area took action one after another.

By the end of July, in less than half a month, the entire Taihang had received nearly 30,000 refugees.

Among the regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area, Kong Jie's Independent Regiment received the largest number of refugees, resettled the most properly, and began to accept refugees the earliest.

Nearly 10,000 refugees were accepted and resettled.

With the strength of a group, it solved the difficulties of food and accommodation for one-third of the victims in the entire Taihang base area.

In addition, Kong Jie took the lead in proposing and implementing the policy of elite soldiers in the Independent Regiment.

The so-called crack troops do not mean that the troops will not be developed, but that training should be strengthened, the original troops should be refined, and the combat effectiveness should be enhanced.

The command organs should be reduced and the number of company members should be increased.

After a large number of victims rushed to the base area of the Independent Regiment.

Kong Jie originally had no intention of recruiting new soldiers and continuing to expand the army.

However, many of these refugees were young people, and they were indeed good seedlings to join the army, and they were grateful to the independent regiment for its treatment of the victims.

Head Kong is out of recruitment, and he can only recruit some of the best.

In addition, the ranks of the Migrant Workers' League are becoming more and more abundant.

Although a large part of the refugees and members of the Migrant Labor Corps in the entire independent regiment base area are not considered military combatants, the total number of members involved in the entire independent regiment base area has long exceeded the 10,000 mark.

In just over a year, the base area of the Independent Regiment has expanded, developed, and enriched outward, and the scale of its establishment has already exceeded Kong Jie's expectations.

Wang Leihu, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao and other three veteran battalion commanders have found Kong Jie many times.

If you don't think about it again, although we are the battalion commander, we are doing the work of the regiment commander, and we are commanding the team of a regiment!

The original five-battalion establishment of the independent regiment was simply not enough.

Regiment Commander Kong was worried, so he thought about whether to continue to expand a few battalions.

But if this expansion continues, a regiment commander will have to manage so many battalions, and he will definitely have to be very busy, and the command efficiency will not be high.

Kong Jie honestly reported to the brigade headquarters and the headquarters and explained his difficulties.

……

And just like that, by the beginning of August.

A meeting was held at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

At the meeting, the leaders spoke one after another.

The core theme of the conference was around the future development direction of the Independent Regiment.

Some cadres said that the scale of the independent regiment and the base areas of the independent regiment has long exceeded the scale that a regiment-level combat unit should have.

If this continues, it will inevitably look bloated, and adjustments will have to be made in the establishment.

"According to the old tradition of our Eighth Route Army, if a regiment develops too fast and such a situation occurs, it can be broken up into multiple regiments to avoid the problem of reducing command strength."

But then another cadre said: "Although the scale of the independent regiment is very large, Kong Jie has always managed it very well, and the whole root area seems to be developing separately, but in fact it is connected as a whole. In particular, at present, the Independent Mission has also resettled tens of thousands of refugees, and if it is dispersed at this moment, it may be counterproductive if it affects the original operation mode of the Independent Mission. ”

In the end, he didn't say much, but when he opened his mouth, the heavy words said: "In this case, I suggest that you might as well take a bold new step." ”

"It is true that the existing independent regiments can be divided into several regiments."

"But the unified command and the old mode of operation remain unchanged, and they are still under the command of Kong Jie's leadership team."

As soon as the brigade commander opened his mouth, all the cadres at the meeting nodded their heads and quickly reached an agreement.

Over the past year or so, everyone has seen the development of the independent regiment, and Kong Jie's performance has always been amazing.

In the end, the headquarters issued a decision, and the cadres said that it was very appropriate to arrange the follow-up development of the independent regiment!

Five days.

The news of the appointment of the headquarters and the documents were transmitted to the headquarters of the independent regiment through the brigade headquarters.

The general content is that the headquarters decided after discussion at the meeting to adjust the original personnel of the independent regiment into four regiments of the nine-company system of A type, which are the first independent regiment, the second independent regiment, the third independent regiment, and the fourth independent regiment.

Among them, Kong Jie, the head of the independent regiment, served as the head of the independent regiment.

Wang Leihu, the former commander of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, served as the commander of the 2nd Independent Regiment.

Shen Quan, the former commander of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment, served as the commander of the third independent regiment.

Wang Huaibao, the former commander of the third battalion of the Independent Regiment, served as the commander of the fourth independent regiment.

And the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Independent Regiments jointly formed the first independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province.

Kong Jie, the commander of the 1st Independent Regiment, concurrently served as the head of the detachment.

Comrade Li Wenjie, the former acting political commissar of the Independent Regiment, concurrently served as the political commissar of the detachment............

Regiment headquarters.

Kong Jie took the appointment document of the headquarters handed by the correspondent, which contained a specific list of personnel appointments.

The list does not include all cadres and positions, and it is clear that there is still a large part of the appointment space for Kong Jie.

As a result of this expansion, many of the original cadres of the Independent Regiment have already made adjustments to their posts.

Acting political commissar Li Wenjie became a regular.

Shen Quan and three other veteran battalion commanders were appointed regiment commanders.

Lei Dasheng, the former commander of the fourth battalion, was the commander of the first battalion of the independent regiment.

Du Aiguo, the former commander of the fifth battalion, served as the commander of the second battalion of the 1st Independent Regiment.

Zhu Wu, the former deputy commander of the 4th Battalion, served as the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Independent Regiment.

As for the battalion commanders of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th regiments.

are also served by Shen Quan, Wang Leihu, Wang Huaibao and other original members of the old camp.

Kong Jie was also overjoyed when he saw it, which was basically equivalent to not changing the old staffing of the Independent Regiment.

However, it also gave Kong Jie more generous and flexible staffing rights.

On top of that, Kong Jie originally had a headache that the five battalions of the Independent Regiment were not enough, and the ranks of each battalion were too bloated.

Now it's okay, and the headquarters directly helped him solve it.

"The first anti-Japanese independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi!"

"Listen, how magnanimous!"

At the regiment headquarters, when the battalion commanders and company commanders with happy faces came to the meeting and accepted the appointment from the headquarters, Kong Jie said with a smile.

As for the appointment of the headquarters, the cadres all gladly accepted it.

Everyone's positions have basically been upgraded by one level.

As for Lei Dasheng and Du Aiguo, whose positions have not changed, the headquarters also took into account their combat exploits and qualifications and adjusted them to the commanders of the first and second battalions of the 1st Independent Regiment.

Once the detachment continued to expand, the commander of the fifth regiment and the commander of the sixth regiment did not run.

In a cheerful atmosphere, the cadres joked.

Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, looked at the list of appointments at the headquarters and rubbed his eyes several times.

Shen Quan on the side quipped: "What, Lei Hu, this is suddenly the head of the regiment, and I still feel a little incredulous, I feel dazzled?" ”

Wang Leihu said: "Ahh ”

Shen Quan scolded: "Lei Hu, I don't understand what you say, I was also a squad leader when you were a squad leader, and I was also a platoon commander when you were a platoon commander, and when you were a battalion commander, we were still battalion commanders, why were you allowed to be the regiment commander, and I couldn't be the regiment commander?" ”

The two stared at each other with big eyes, and the cadres couldn't help laughing.

Kong Jie scolded with a smile: "Yes, when I was the battalion commander, the two of them quarreled and had no interest, but now that I am the regiment commander, I still have no interest, and I am a shame." ”

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Kong Jie spoke, and Shen Quan and Wang Leihu smiled wryly and shouted.

"Don't, now that we're all regimental leaders, you just call me Lao Kongde!" Kong Jie said.

Shen Quan and Wang Leihu were so frightened that they hurriedly shook their heads.

Shen Quan said: "Where can you, head of the regiment, you will always be our head of the group!" ”

"That's it, I don't recognize it!" Wang Leihu said.

Wang Huaibao, the third head of the regiment, said with a smile: "That is, our regiment commander is also the head of the detachment!" Now our independent regiment is a legitimate anti-Japanese detachment. ”

"It's strange to say, the size and number of our original five battalions have not changed at all, but just because they were reorganized into these four regiments, we suddenly felt in our hearts that we would be more confident to fight the little devils again." ……
