"Lao Kong dares to say this, he must have seen something in advance, a fairly large-scale sweep!"

"Monk, what else did Lao Kong say to you about the large-scale sweep that the devils might launch against our Jizhong Military Region?"

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Head Lu asked.

The monk recalled the words that the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, had explained to him before leaving, looked at the head of the regiment, slowly spoke, and said:

"Captain Lu, our head said."

"Because the terrain of the Jizhong base area is relatively flat, unlike the Taihang base area, which has a vast mountainous area as a depth, it can stretch the battle line at any time and drag the devils to collapse."

"Therefore, in view of the terrain of the base area in Jizhong, which is mostly plain, it is very likely that the Japanese army will set off a large-scale sweep in an attempt to destroy our base area at one time."

"Therefore, Jizhong must find a way to deal with the surprise sweep launched by the Japanese army at any time."

"However, there is already a solution."

The monk smiled calmly.

"Monk, the way you said is tunnel warfare, right?"

The monk nodded.

Commander Lu also thought deeply and said, "That's right, since we started the tunnel war in the Jizhong area. ”

"Before the devils did not dispatch a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, the situation in the Jizhong area was indeed greatly reversed."

"With tunnels for transfer, transportation, troop hiding, and ambushes, we can turn the originally unfavorable plain terrain in the central Hebei region into a favorable tunnel combat terrain."

Speaking of this, Head Lu was quite emotional.

"Lao Kong is still prescient, and the wide application of tunnel tactics in the central Hebei region will be of far-reaching significance.

It can be said that it fundamentally changed the passive situation in which our army was always at a disadvantage when it was engaged in a confrontation with the Japanese army on the plains. ”

The monk said with a smile: "The head of the regiment said that there are pros and cons to everything, and this is actually a further use of the terrain and topography in Jizhong."

The development of tunnel warfare in the central Hebei region is far more suitable than that of the Taihang base area.

The area around the Taihang base area is mostly mountainous, and the application of tunnel tactics mostly exists in some villages, which is not as convenient as Jizhong. ”

"That's right, speaking of which, it's because you Taihang base area wants to envy our Jizhong Military Region in turn, haha!"

Head Lu said, with a bright smile on his face.

Then, the two talked about the topic of the independent regiment beginning to streamline the administration, and Commander Lu clearly said to the monk:

"Lao Kong is right, now we have to find a way to deal with the more serious disaster. In the central Hebei area, I have also received a lot of news from various places these days, and many areas around our base area have been affected by the drought. ”

"If this continues, once the disaster spreads, the consequences will be really unimaginable."

"According to Lao Kong's proposal, our 28th regiment will not be expanded in the future, and the troops will maintain the current scale, and the number of troops will be reduced, so as to streamline the administration."

Head Lu's judgment of the situation and the decisiveness of his style made the monk admire.

When Commander Lu asked, the specific measures of the independent regiment after streamlining the army.

The monk said: "The two core points of streamlining the army are to reduce the consumption of the troops, and to reduce the burden on the people near the base areas by reducing the size of the troops and reducing the proportion of the population who are out of work. ”

"The other is to reduce the number of troops, strengthen training, and distribute limited equipment to elite units that have reduced the number but have more combat experience and more solid military skills, so as to improve the equipment level and firepower intensity of elite combat units, thereby enhancing the effective combat effectiveness of the troops as a whole, reducing the bloat of the troops, and the inefficiency of operational command."

"Cadres who have come out after the reduction of the troops."

"The practice of our regiment commanders is to transfer to local militia units, participate in the daily production and training of militia units, and guide the militia units in combat, and at the same time enhance the command capability of the militia units to cooperate with the combat missions of the main forces in all aspects."

"Local troops can also send cadres."

"Put the pressure on the survival of the troops in the ground to all parts of the surrounding areas."

The monk's words made Captain Lu fall silent, and his brows were tightly knit in thought.

Duan Peng on the side didn't speak.

In terms of strategic level and analysis of the battle situation, Duan Peng is not as good as a monk.

After the training of Ye Min, Wang Xikui, Mu Tou and Cao Zhengwei's devil instructors, Duan Peng, who is quite strong in all aspects, can be said to be the first person in special operations of the Eighth Route Army.

Just compared to monks.

Duan Peng is much worse in terms of large-level strategic thinking.

It can't be helped, the environment in which the two are located is completely different.

In terms of strategy, Duan Peng is rarely exposed to it.

But the monk, as the commander of Kong Jie's guard company, also served as a guard.

Kong Jie also intended to exercise the monk's tactical and strategic thinking, so he usually carried out some overall combat deployments at the regimental headquarters, and even the future strategic development of the entire first detachment.

Kong Jie would ask the monks to get involved and learn from it.

No, seeing that Head Lu was in thought, the monk also glanced at Duan Peng beside him proudly.

Duan Peng pretended not to see it, and secretly made up his mind in his heart:

The action of turning back and armed to seize the material flow and cash flow in the surrounding devil-occupied areas must be carried out more vigorously.

I Duan Peng couldn't analyze the battle situation, and he was missing some strategic thinking.

But I'm good at special warfare!

The head of the regiment said that a man named Ah-Chicken Mead once said that if he was given a fulcrum, he would be able to move the whole earth.

The regiment commander said that the earth here can refer to the Japanese army, and if you want to pry up the earth, that is, to defeat the Japanese army, you need two parts, one is the strut and the other is the fulcrum.

The strut is naturally the entire Eighth Route Army unit.

"However, our commando team may not be able to become the equally important fulcrum, a small army can change the situation of a big war, and a small person can also change big history."

"I put all my energy into special warfare, and I won't be worse than him as a monk!"

"Monk, I understand what Lao Kong meant, and then I will rectify the 28th regiment, reduce the size of the troops, streamline the command structure, and in addition, hoard food and materials in advance to deal with the increasingly serious disaster."

Captain Lu, who suddenly spoke, interrupted Duan Peng's thoughts.

In terms of the size and establishment of the troops, Regiment Commander Lu also had deep feelings.

"At the beginning, the head of our 28th regiment was still an old man."

"At that time, we actually made a mistake, thinking that the larger the size of the troops, the better, so the expansion was relatively large, resulting in the rapid growth of the scale of the troops, but neither the combat effectiveness nor the level of equipment could be synchronized."

"At its peak, our 28th Regiment even had a strength of nearly 3,500 people, which was far greater than the proper establishment of a regiment."

"But what happened later, it was said that it was a force of more than 3,500 people, and the devils only set off a few sweeps, and our team was bloated and the combat effectiveness did not keep up with the troops, and the disadvantages were immediately apparent."

"After several counter-sweeps, the casualties of our 28th regiment were quite heavy."

"Now that I think about it, if I hadn't hastily expanded the number of troops, but strengthened the training of the troops to deal with the Japanese army's counter-sweep, the situation might have been much better than it is now."

These words obviously touched on the sad point of the brigade commander.

The monk changed the subject very discerningly and said.

"The regiment commander said that what is poured out of blood is the real warrior."

"Although it is very tragic, only veterans who have experienced the elimination of wars one after another and can survive again and again will become the absolute elite of our troops."

"At present, the scale of the 28th Regiment is much smaller than when it was at its peak, but now through counter-sweeps again and again, and confrontations with the Japanese army again and again, the surviving soldiers will not be bad.

With rich combat experience and a strong will to fight, as long as it is trained again, it will soon be able to transform into an elite division with strong combat effectiveness and the ability to fight tough battles. ”

"Commander Lu, in this regard, the 28th Regiment is not comparable to other troops!"

Hahahaha –

Captain Lu laughed when he heard this, "Monk, monk, no wonder Lao Kong likes you, you kid has a mouth, but he is quite comforting." ”

"But what you said is right, I am still very confident in the remaining soldiers of our 28th regiment."

Speaking of this, Head Lu also thought carefully, and suddenly looked at the monk and Duan Peng, his expression became solemn.

"Monk, Duan Peng, since I have said this, I have a reluctant request for the two comrades."

"Head Lu, please speak!"

"Next, I want to fight against Japan at the same time, on the other hand, strengthen the overall training of our 28th Regiment, conduct a large-scale training within the regiment, and strive to quickly raise the combat effectiveness of our 28th Regiment.

I would like to invite you two to be the chief instructors of this training. ”

"I wonder if you'd like to help?"
