Winter Counteroffensive......

As soon as this word came out, it seemed to have great magic, and Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie were firmly attracted.

"Yes, we have been fighting with the little devils for a long time, most of them are suffering from the nest, and they have always been passively beaten, and the devils sweep over from time to time, so we can only be forced to fight guerrilla warfare or transfer, and enter the counter-sweep.

When can you really launch a counteroffensive with confidence, then it is called joy! ”

The words of the winter counteroffensive can be said to be on Xu Guoan's heart, and he couldn't help but speak.

Political Commissar Li Wenjie also agreed: "According to what you said by the regiment commander, if you only target some remote towns and villages of the Japanese army, this matter is indeed feasible. ”

"Haha, Wen Jie, the detailed report to the superiors ......"

"Please rest assured, this matter is on me!"

Kong Jie suddenly laughed: "That's what you're waiting for." ”

Li Wenjie reported the matter to his superiors, plus this matter is indeed reasonable, and the fighter plane is even more rare, and the brigade commander and the boss will not refuse.

Then, Kong Jie changed the conversation and actually mentioned Li Yunlong, who is also the Iron Triangle of Northwest Shanxi, and Ding Wei.

Looking at the head of Kong, who seemed to be a real face, Xu Lun questioned this, "I'm Lao Kong, this doesn't look like your character!"

You have always made a lot of money in a muffled voice, why do you have to pull Lao Ding and Lao Li this time? ”

"Lao Xu, what are you talking about, who doesn't know that my Lao Kong is a real person?

It is also the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, and the defense area of our three regiments is not far away, this has a chance to make a fortune, can I forget my old comrades-in-arms? When Kong Jie heard this, he was not happy, and retorted seriously.

Xu Guoan remained silent with interest, and said in his heart If I hadn't come to the team, I might have been able to believe your old Kong's nonsense.

As for now...... Just two words -!

"Hey, Lao Li, I'm Kong Jie, let's send you benefits!

…… Yes, yes, that's it, the winter counteroffensive, now our situation against the enemy has improved a lot, this time we don't take advantage of the winter to clean up his little devil, isn't it a pity?

…… Meddlesome! Of course it's a good thing, definitely a good thing! Otherwise, can I find you Lao Li?

Lao Li, the development of your new second regiment is also good now, but to tell the truth, the base area is really small, if you don't take this opportunity to expand outward, how can you completely develop your new second regiment? ”

Syllable!

The phone hung up, and Kong Jie smiled quietly.

On the other end of the phone, Li Yunlong's face was full of smiles, and Zhao Gang, the political commissar on the side, asked with a smile: "Lao Li, what's the good thing?" Look, you're having fun! ”

Li Yunlong laughed and replied, "It's a great thing, the time has come for our new second regiment to raise their eyebrows." ”

Then, Li Yunlong told Zhao Ganghe what he discussed with Kong Jie.

Zhao Gang also sighed with emotion after hearing this, "So far, our Eighth Route Army troops, not to mention the county seat of the Japanese army, is also quite rare to attack the county seat of the Japanese army.

If this counteroffensive really goes smoothly, and even some remote towns and villages of the Japanese army can be captured, this is indeed of great significance for the morale of the anti-Japanese resistance. ”

Li Yunlong said: "I don't care what the meaning of him is, the key is his mother's happiness, we have been fighting with the little devil for so many years, and this time we can finally take the initiative to attack!" ”

On the other side, after Ding Wei took Kong Jie's call, he was also happy.

In the military meeting immediately after the new regiment, he directly pointed out:

"This winter counteroffensive may not be big in scale, but it is of great progressive significance for the phased operation of our Eighth Route Army to resist Japan.

This even means that our Eighth Route Army's operations against the Japanese army have gone from strategic defense and strategic stalemate to a local strategic counteroffensive stage! ”

Then he sighed: "It's really a slow step, Lao Kong wants to go ahead again!" ”

He Wenqing, the political commissar on the side, was also a character who dared to be the first, and he said with a smile: "This big counteroffensive, let's grab the front of his team!" ”

"That's right, that's how it should be, you can't let him show off everywhere, right?"

Amidst the laughter, Ding Wei directly unfolded the operational map of his new regimental defense area and its surroundings, and studied the operational deployment of this winter counteroffensive with the military cadres on the map.

Detachment command.

After hanging up the phone with Ding Wei, Kong Jie took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, and with a burst of smoke rising, the overall battle situation of this winter counteroffensive seemed to have come to mind.

The huge and detailed map of military operations hangs on the large flat wall facing west of the General Staff.

Today, the staff headquarters of a team has begun to take shape, and the layout of the whole house is even more decent, and in addition to the chief of staff Xu Guoan, there are more than a dozen staff officers of all sizes.

It is no longer an independent regiment that was strong and weak in military and weak in the past.

In Kong Jie's words:

Even if it's a fart, how to put it, now there are more than a dozen staff officers who can give you ideas, and I can't say that I can prepare a dozen plans for you in a row!

Kong Jie, who was holding a teaching stick in his hand, pointed on the combat map and confided his views on the operation to the staff officers:

"With the development of these years, the area of the entire base area of our team is now vast, and the shape of the overall base area is roughly northwest-southeast, which is quite similar to the topography of Zhongtiao Mountain.

We have our back to Taihang, and to the west is Li Yunlong's new second regiment.

To the southeast is Ding Wei's new regiment.

According to the relatively narrow terrain of our team's base area, the battle line that we can pull out horizontally is quite long.

The front line of the horizontal advance mainly faced the three major county towns of the Japanese army, Shouyang, Yangquan and Tanxian.

According to the battle plan this time, the focus of this winter counteroffensive is not to attack the county seat of the devil and some important towns and townships, but mainly some remote villages, towns, and townships.

It is not necessary to advance the operation horizontally in an all-round way, but on the contrary, it is easy to arouse the detection of the Japanese army and start a confrontation that has no practical significance.

So what I mean is that this winter counteroffensive will still take a roundabout offensive on both flanks, starting with the towns and villages in the more remote suburbs of the Japanese army.

Step by step, the available space in the county seat occupied by the Japanese army.

The left wing could take the lead in detouring from these two points, Neixiang and Qingye Town on the border of Shouyang County, and the right wing could advance from the remote towns of Guanping and Yatu on the border of Tan County.

Then there are remote towns such as Sanquan Township, which extends northeast of Yangquan and extends outward......"

As Kong Jie narrated, the other staff officers quickly took notes, and some staff officers immediately took pens and rulers, traced the work on the map, and marked out the counteroffensive route described by Kong Jie in detail.

Looking at the outline of the great counteroffensive that had been largely shown under Kong Jie's continuation in a few words.

Xu Guoan, the chief of staff on the side, spoke thoughtfully.

The words were amazing: "Good girl, amazing! Lao Kong, if you connect the routes you are preparing to attack, you can see that you have a lot of appetite. ”

Xu Guoan directly pointed out: "According to the connection of Neixiang, Qingye Township, Sanquan Township, Yatu Township, Guanping Township and other remote townships.

This is basically equivalent to pulling up a layer of encirclement on the periphery of Yangquan County, Shouyang County, and Tan County, the three main cities of the Japanese army. ”

"Lao Kong, if this layer of encirclement is formed, I'm afraid that the little devil won't even be able to sleep!"

Kong Jie said: "Isn't this in response to the highest strategic policy of encircling the city with the countryside, what we want is this effect, although we are fighting the most remote towns and villages where the devil's defense force is empty, but the whole can besiege the main county towns of the Japanese army. ”

Xu Guo'an said happily: "The devil has designated that it is difficult to sleep and eat."

In the past, although we occupied the mountainous area of Taihang and Taiyue, there were some suburban villages.

Including the other border areas, the interconnection of the various base areas only formed a considerable area of encirclement of the vast county towns in the Japanese occupation area.

But this so-called big encirclement, to be honest, doesn't look like an encirclement, but it looks like we've been driven to the most remote mountainous area by other people's little devils!

But now it's different, your old Kong will make such a detour from the two flanks, once the winter counteroffensive route is successfully opened.

This is equivalent to extending the encirclement of rural areas and townships directly into the interior of the areas occupied by the devils, and then uniting with our detachment's base areas, which can completely divide and encircle some of the devils' county towns.

This is a completely different form from the comprehensive encirclement of the countryside to the city.

It is no exaggeration to say that under such a partial encirclement, once the combat situation between China and Japan is reversed again, our detachment may at any time take down these three county towns in one fell swoop by besieging Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan County! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Guoan was also emotional.

This guy is really a restless master, and you never know what bold choice he will make next.

But every step of the people seems to be bold, but it is based on the stability of reality, so you have to be convinced.

According to the current development of the team, it does have the background and strength to take this step.

As for Shouyang, Yangquan includes Tan County, these three county seats, in terms of military value, none of them will be inferior to Ping'an County, and none of them will have a weaker strength than Ping'an County.

At that time, Kong Jie led the independent regiment to conquer Ping'an County, which had caused a shock throughout North China.

Even Okamura Ninji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, repeatedly ordered Yoshio Shinozuka on the phone that in North China, the county seat would never be allowed to be breached by the Eighth Route Army.

Public order and stability in North China brook no provocation.

It can be seen from this that if Kong Jie directly casts a big net of encirclement, he even has the intention of taking Shouyang, Yangquan, Tan County and other three major military counties in one fell swoop at any time.

What a strong reaction the devil would make.

Xu Guoan raised his eyes to look at Kong Jie, revealing obvious resoluteness and confidence in Kong Jie's eyes, but there was no madness.

Who can understand Kong Jie's true thoughts?

The May Day sweep is imminent.

Despite this sweep by the Japanese army, the main target was the Jizhong Military Region.

However, the Taihang base area, including a detachment of base areas, will definitely be affected.

Kong Jie thought that he could make a bigger move, attract the attention of the Japanese army, and indirectly cover the anti-sweeping operation in the Jizhong base area.

On the one hand, he also wanted to share the pressure on the troops of the Eighth Route Army around the Taihang base area.

Great ability means great responsibility.

Nowadays, in the Eighth Route Army, there is no better team than the best development.

The entire detachment, both in terms of equipment level and overall combat effectiveness, is much higher than the regular Eighth Route Army troops.

If the Japanese army evenly distributed the offensive forces among the troops of the Eighth Route Army, a team would naturally be able to easily defeat the enemy, but other combat units might not be able to.

However, the overall strength of a team's base area is limited in relation to the overall situation.

It is impossible for Kong Jie to take care of everyone, let alone take over the important task of guarding the entire Taihang base area.

Therefore, the only thing he can do is to develop the size of the team and build the strength of the army to be stronger, so that the Japanese army can focus more on the team and share the pressure for other troops.

……

"As for the specific way of playing, how to play?"

After this question was raised, Kong Jie said: "The old rule is that there must be not only a military offensive, but also a political offensive.

Some people have summed it up very well: a war without a political purpose has no practical significance.

Therefore, our major counteroffensive this time is still a combination of military and political, with a military offensive on the surface and a political offensive on the covert. ”

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said thoughtfully: "This is how it should be. ”

He then proposed: "Lao Kong, I suggest that since we are going to launch this winter counteroffensive, we must make sufficient preparations in advance, and if we can fight the towns and villages, we should plan well in advance, and secretly deploy troops.

Otherwise, this battle that involves the whole body may not be as smooth as we imagined.

In addition, in terms of political offensive, on the one hand, it is necessary to cooperate with our offensive forces to quickly and firmly capture the area.

On the other hand, our political offensive should advance our military offensive and extend to some towns and villages that we cannot advance to for the time being.

As for the specific work, it is still the old rule, I think it is almost enough to send dozens of military engineering teams behind enemy lines.

Assist our underground comrades who have secretly infiltrated the past to form an anti-Japanese regime.

In addition, on the surface, it is through secret coercion and temptation to plot against the puppet army, and use red and black accounts to supervise those puppet armies and traitors at all times, and establish a two-faced regime.

While stabilizing the little devils, we will secretly infiltrate the enemy-occupied areas and develop our anti-Japanese strength until we have the strength to fully control the captured areas. ”

Xu Guoan, the chief of staff, was not in vain, his ability was quite outstanding, otherwise Kong Jie would not have poached Xu Guoan from the brigade commander at the beginning.

Let's talk about it carefully.

Political commissar Li Wenjie can be described as Kong Jie's virtuous helper in politics and life.

And Chief of Staff Xu Guoan can be described as a military division in the training of the troops and military staff.

It is not unreasonable for the two to call Kong Jie's right-hand man.

Regarding Xu Guoan's suggestion, Kong Jie naturally agrees with it very much.

"Yes, Lao Xu, it seems that you are already confident, and you will have to worry about the political offensive."

Xu Guoan smiled: "Lao Kong, what are you talking about?" Treat me like an outsider, don't you! Don't worry, I'll take care of this. ”

Kong Jie looked at Li Wenjie again, and Li Wenjie said on the spot: "Regiment commander, don't look at me, this military combat is not what I am good at."

The development and operation of the regiment, as well as the logistical supply and support of this operation, including the arrangements and rectification of the people in the occupied areas, you can leave these to me. ”

Kong Jie smiled and nodded.

This kid is at least a Xiao He-level character!
