At this time, if there is a perspective from above, you can clearly overlook:

The Japanese army was divided into vanguard units in multiple directions, at least with the full Japanese brigade as a single combat unit, and quickly approached a large area of farmland.

The devil made up his mind to try to take down a team of farmland and harvest grain in the shortest possible time.

The Japanese army had already prepared for the combat operation of destroying the autumn harvest of the detachment.

Not only did they carefully calculate the route of the road in advance, but even the crops in the farmland of a group would probably ripen in a few days, and the Japanese army made quite accurate judgments.

It came too early, and the crops were still too far from ripe.

Corn kernels are tender and crumble, peanuts are so tender that their shells are still soft, and sweet potatoes may be only the size of a finger......

This early harvest of crops is too much of a disruption to the harvest.

It came too late, and in order to prevent the Japanese army from sabotaging the autumn harvest, perhaps the Eighth Route Army would carry out the autumn harvest some time in advance.

When the little devil came, there was only empty farmland and wheat oranges and rotten seedlings piled up in the farmland.

"So the timing of the attack was three days later, and during this time period, a large number of crops in the fields of a detachment were close to maturity, but they were not yet fully ripe."

"However, it can also be used as military rations, and if you wait until it is close to maturity before launching an attack, the Eighth Route will definitely buy time in the blocking along the way and carry out the autumn harvest in advance."

After the devil officers did the analysis, the specific date for the military operation was determined.

…… The headquarters of a detachment, Kong Jie, the detachment leader who sat in the command headquarters, soon received news from the forward position.

"Lao Kong, it seems that this little devil has made up his mind to hit our farmland area in one go and grab the grain.

On the news of the forward positions, the attack launched by the devils was extremely fierce, and even regardless of the consumption of artillery shells, they directly attacked our army's fortifications with plough-like shelling.

Our local army and militia comrades resisted step by step, but they still couldn't stop the devil's crazy advance. ”

"Then retreat first, and now fight with the little devils, causing unnecessary sacrifices, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Kong Jie, whose face was still calm, said.

He immediately issued an order: "The Ministry of Communications immediately conveyed the order of the headquarters, notified the local armies and militia units on all sides, avoided the sharp edge of the devil's attack, took the initiative to abandon the position, stretched the battle line, laid mines along the way, and delayed the pace of the Japanese army." ”

"Yes!"

The little soldiers of the Ministry of Communications answered, and the soldiers of the Ministry of Communications, who were not far from the headquarters, quickly conveyed the news to all parties through radio equipment.

To this day, for Commander Kong, sitting in the center and strategizing can take the entire battle situation in front of him.

It can play the role of the command headquarters and his top military commander of the detachment more efficiently.

When Kong Jie and Chief of Staff Xu Guoan continued to study the battle situation on the combat sand table, good news came:

"Report to the detachment commander, news came from the headquarters of the 1st regiment that the main forces of the 1st regiment have arrived at the intended combat position."

“…… The main force of the 2nd Regiment has also arrived at the intended combat site. ”

"The main force of the third regiment has successfully approached the Yangquan area, the agricultural area under the centralized planning and management of the Japanese army."

As the good news came, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan's face was full of joy, "Lao Kong, it's done!" Our three main forces have successfully detoured back to the agricultural area behind the devils. ”

"Then the next step is to grab the little devil's food." Kong Jie analyzed: "The Japanese army's agricultural areas also have devils stationed in the troops.

Once the battle begins, for the main force of our three regiments, it will not be a problem at all to defeat the defensive forces of the devils, and it will not be difficult to directly break through the city gate where the troops are empty at this time. ”

"But it takes time, and it also takes a lot of time to harvest a large area of crops."

"Taking these factors into account, our detachment must at least strive for at least six hours for the first, second, and third regiments to seize the operation."

Xu Guoan immediately replied: "Lao Kong, should we send out all the reserves reserved by the detachment?" Containing the Japanese with the militia and local army units? ”

"Don't rush yet!" Kong Jie shook his head.

"But the reserve troops are not out, the local army and the militia troops, Lao Kong, you have ordered to temporarily avoid the attack of the little devils.

If this continues, it won't be long before the vanguard of the devils will hit our peripheral agricultural areas.

That area is a lot of corn that we plant, is it just cheap little devil for nothing? ”

Kong Jie smiled, turned his head and shouted outside the door: "Communication soldier, go and call Shi Dahu to me." ”

Shi Dahu?

Xu Guoan was stunned.

He immediately realized something, but when it comes to Shi Dahu, the director of the Strategic Camouflage Bureau, it is Lao Kong who is digging a pit for the little devil!

Could it be that Lao Kong deliberately threw the farmland in the outlying guerrilla areas to the little devils?

A moment later, just half a month ago, Shi Dahu, director of the Strategic Camouflage Bureau, who had already "successfully retired" from the Jizhong base area, walked in.

"Detachment Commander, Chief of Staff!" Shi Dahu saluted Kong Jie and the others.

Kong Jie said: "Our chief of staff is very puzzled about deliberately putting the devil in the front agricultural area, you come over and explain to the chief of staff!" ”

"Yes!"

Shi Dahu responded, and then said: "Chief of Staff, the situation is like this, the agricultural area of the guerrilla zone, considering that it was in a relatively unstable environment at that time, so we mainly planted corn.

Because corn is a crop that has a benefit!

You have harvested all its fruits, and when you put the pole there, you can't tell from afar whether you have harvested it or not. ”

Xu Guoan was a smart man, so he immediately came back to his senses and said thoughtfully: "Shouldn't you have sent someone to collect the corn in the front agricultural area in advance a long time ago?" ”

Shi Dahu said: "That's right, it's not right.

Chief of Staff, think about it, the little devil is not stupid, let's harvest it in advance, and the devil will definitely send spies to investigate nearby.

If you see that there are no corn lumps on the wheat stalks, can the little devil still be fooled? ”

Xu Guoan said thoughtfully: "This is also true, the devil is not so good."

Also, it doesn't seem that the corn in our front agricultural area is fully ripe, right?

When did you harvest the corn? Wouldn't it be too early? ”

At this time, Kong Jie on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Lao Xu, just put your heart in your stomach! At that time, when I was planting corn in the front agricultural area, I thought that in the future, the devils might send troops to sabotage our autumn harvest.

So I asked Shi Dahu to lead people and do something in the front agricultural area.

What hands and feet?

Some late-sown corn was planted on the periphery around the farmland where it was planted.

In the middle of the field, the corn is sown a week or two in advance.

You know what that means, right? ”

After listening to the explanation, Xu Guoan, who suddenly came to his senses, said with admiration: "Lao Kong, Lao Kong, there is really you."

Now I kind of get it.

It means that the corn around the periphery is still kept, and you deliberately showed it to the little devils.

And the early-sown corn in a large area in the center of the farmland, because of the early sowing, the maturity time is also much earlier, you have already arranged the team to harvest in advance, and now I am afraid that only the bare corn stalks are left, right? ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "No, in order not to let the little devil notice the situation, when this batch of corn was harvested, I specially explained to Xie Baoqing and asked the comrades of the Migrant Labor League to go into the farmland with flashlights in the middle of the night to break corn.

In this way, it took three or four more nights to harvest all the bales of rice in the middle of the farmland. ”

"Admire! I really admire! ”

Xu Guoan said, and arched his hand to Kong Jie in a manner to express his indescribable admiration.

As soon as the conversation changed, Xu Guoan looked at Kong Jie and asked:

"Lao Kong, that means that the farmland in front of the present is actually an empty shell, just some late-sown corn in the peripheral areas around each farmland, which is used to paralyze the Japanese army.

It's just that you ordered the militia and local army units to avoid the devil's front and take the initiative to retreat, and even deliberately lured the little devil to the area of the farmland in front.

It's not to tease the little devil and let the devil drill into the farmland only to find that all the farmland except for the corn around it, all the other corn is left with empty shells, right?

"Those who know me, you old Xu!" Kong Jie laughed.

After laughing, his eyes reflected an astonishing murderous intent.

Xu Guoan only glanced at it, and he was a little sympathetic to the little devil.

"I understand, I understand everything, I said that you Lao Kong deliberately left the main force we reserved in the base area and didn't use it, what kind of idea did you want.

It turns out that you are thinking of using the farmland in the front that only has an empty shell to lure the forward troops of the devils over, and then use the reserve troops, plus the militia and local troops to assist in the battle.

In the front agricultural area, fight the little devils in a surprise ambush battle! ”

Kong Jie's smile became brighter and brighter.

is worthy of being the chief of staff of a team, and it is really a little clear.

As Xu Guoan said, the agricultural area in the front, this is a trap that Kong Jie spent a lot of energy on and deliberately created for the little devils.

Even four or five months ago, Kong Jie was planning this trap.

For this reason, Shi Dahu arranged to deliberately move his hands and feet in the front farmland, using corn sown at different times to paralyze the reconnaissance of the Japanese army.

This is also what Xu Guoan feels most about this.

Lao Kong kills devils, and he can even dig a pit for the little devil four or five months in advance!

……

"So, this ambush battle prepared in the front agricultural area, Lao Kong, which teams are you going to use?"

At this time, Xu Guoan, who had already paid all his attention to the agricultural area at the front of the team, asked.

Kong Jie said: "The artillery battalion has not moved for several days, and it is training every day, and it is not easy to find an opportunity for actual combat, so it has to be pulled out and boiled." ”

"Let the howitzers go, or Wang Chengzhu go?" Xu Guoan asked

Kong Jie smiled: "For this matter, both of them are about to break their heads." ”

"In the end, I promised the two of them, and each of the two artillery battalions would have a company, and as for who fought better, it would be up to each of them to do their own thing."

Xu Guoan said: "If you say so, the two artillery battalion commanders will definitely have enough strength."

The artillery used in the two guns will definitely not be less, and it will be enough.

Coupled with our front farmland area, the battle line pulled out horizontally is not short, and most of the devil's vanguard troops are a full-fledged Japanese army, plus a coordinated Imperial Army.

Obediently, if you really calculate it like this, Lao Kong, you have loaded all the devils of three or four thousand numbers into it at once!

Coupled with the Imperial Army, the Japanese puppet army may not be less than 5,000 people. ”

Kong Jie said: "Lao Xu, are you worried that the two artillery batteries are not enough?"

This is indeed the case, so in addition to the artillery company, Qiu Shan's armored corps and Sun Desheng's semi-mechanized heavy troops will all participate in this ambush battle.

Of course, it certainly won't be the best of the best.

As far as the level of attack of the little devil is concerned, it is not enough for our team to use the hole cards.

What is more important is to take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a joint operation of all arms against our fighters in order to accumulate experience.

Our tanks and armored vehicles are equipped with howitzers, artillery battalions are equipped with 60 mortars, and semi-mechanized heavy units are specially modified follow-up artillery...... Coordination between infantry and artillery, coordination between artillery and armor, coordination of infantry, artillery and armor.

These coordinated combat tactics can only be thoroughly mastered by our soldiers through actual combat. ”

"I couldn't agree more with that," Xu said.

He then proposed: "In addition, Lao Kong, this autumn harvest defense battle, on the one hand, is to protect our autumn harvest grain, and on the other hand, it is a rare opportunity for actual combat training.

Therefore, I believe that all kinds of units newly formed by our team in recent years can take this opportunity to devote themselves to this actual operation, explore the most real battlefield, and accumulate experience.

Including the automobile unit of our transport department, the motorized unit of the semi-mechanized heavy battalion, the operation of a separate artillery group in a mountainous environment, the actual combat application of sniper group tactics, and so on.

It is just a good opportunity to familiarize our drivers with the road conditions and let our soldiers accumulate combat experience in the base environment. ”

"High in the Sky"

After hearing this, Kong Jie laughed and said, "It is worthy of our chief of staff, Lao Xu, all these thoughts of yours can be thought of with me."

You are right at what you say, a unit that lacks actual combat will never be productive.

For example, the little devil raised by the son of a bitch, I heard that the airborne troops have been trained in China for several years, but as soon as they are pulled to the battlefield, they have not yet been airborne, and the devil airborne troops sitting in the plane are actually airsick, you say, isn't this a big joke?

There is also an armored corps formed by the National Army a few years ago.

The tank, which was finally bought back from abroad at a great cost, was reluctant to drive it at all, and it was reluctant to burn oil.

As a result, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, as soon as the tank units of the two sides fought, the armored soldiers of the national army were stunned.

Why?

Because of the lack of training in peacetime, when they went to the battlefield, those tank soldiers of the national army are still groping for how to operate tanks skillfully! ”

seems to be telling a joke, but it is mixed with embarrassment and helplessness about this matter.

In view of this matter, Kong Jie's requirements for all combat units above and below the team are:

It is necessary to combine theory with actual combat.

In peacetime training, for example, automobile soldiers are not afraid of fuel consumption during the day and drive in various road conditions in the base areas.

Kong Jie even demanded that the automobile soldiers be trained to drive at night, accompanied by the infantry, to ensure that they can walk on the same level as during the day.

Only when you are so proficient can you be considered to have the first results.

But after all, it was not put into actual combat.

Now is the best opportunity.

"Pull out all the troops and soldiers who have never been on the battlefield!"

In the headquarters, Kong Jie said categorically.
