The big stronghold of Wanjia Town that Ding Wei defeated this time is slightly different from the big stronghold of Huting that Li Yunlong fell.

The large stronghold of Wanjia Town is not like the stronghold of Huting, tightly choking some of the communication channels between the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the base areas.

In addition, the big stronghold of Wanjia Town is relatively speaking, one is in the relatively stable occupation area of the devils.

Therefore, after the Huting stronghold was defeated, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong could find a way to temporarily sell the Huting stronghold and put it in the hands of the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army.

After the large stronghold of Wanjia Town was defeated, the soldiers could only seize all the supplies and ammunition, and then destroy the stronghold and evacuate quickly.

There is no point in stationing, it will only become a salted fish next to the old cat's pillow, which may be eaten at any time.

In fact, whether it was Li Yunlong leading the troops to defeat the Huting stronghold.

It was Ding Wei who led the troops to conquer the big stronghold of Wanjia Town.

In a certain respect, it can be said that it is part of the large-scale counteroffensive against Japan that a detachment took the lead in this winter.

So far.

The first anti-Japanese detachment in the northwest of Shanxi Province led by Kong Jie took the lead in setting off a winter counteroffensive, and the results became more and more significant, and gradually approached the peak.

When Wang Shoucheng returned from the new regiment with the mechanized combat battalion, he also brought half of the materials and ammunition captured after the capture of the large stronghold in Wanjia Town.

In this regard, although Ding Wei was in pain, he was still quite trustworthy and did not deduct it.

After all, the mechanized combat battalion sent by Kong Jie can be said to have played a major role in the capture of the large stronghold of Wanjia Town this time.

"Regiment commander, this combat mission is going quite smoothly, I'll report to you on the situation!"

In the headquarters, Wang Shoucheng gave a detailed account of the process of the mechanized combat unit that should use the central breakthrough method to defeat the Japanese army's large stronghold in Wanjiazhen.

This is a special request of Kong Jie before departure.

After Wang Shoucheng finished speaking, Kong Jie asked: "After this battle, what do you think of our mechanized combat troops?" ”

Wang Shoucheng thought for a while and replied: "Regiment commander, I have to say that this mechanized combat unit is indeed very unique.

High mobility, coupled with the special enhanced firepower configuration, the combat effectiveness is also quite strong, and it can always appear suddenly, and then catch the little devil by surprise.

This reminds me of the tactics used by those mechanized combat squadrons of the little devils a few years ago.

It is always possible to launch a surprise attack when we have no time to be on guard, resulting in a lot of losses for our Eighth Route Army troops.

Well, now that feng shui is in turn, it's finally our turn to beat him up! ”

"We can't be careless, at the moment, our mechanized combat detachment is taking advantage of the offensive of this winter counteroffensive to take advantage of the opportunity to carry out operations.

In addition, the little devil is defenseless, so he can successfully achieve the results.

By the spring of the following year, the devils will be ready, and there will be air reinforcements that may appear at any time.

When our mechanized combat units are put into combat again, they need to be extra careful! Kong Jie reminded.

"Yes, please rest assured, the regiment commander, after I go back, I will continue to strengthen the training of mechanized combat units, including the training of air combat."

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

After Wang Shoucheng left, Kong Jie, Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan began to study the military sand table of the headquarters, and after the capture of Wanjiazhen and Huting strongholds this time, the evolution of the Sino-Japanese war situation in the northwest of Shanxi Province.

"The little devil is a shame to be thrown to grandma's house this time, first of all, we launched a winter counteroffensive, and laid down the four towns and three towns of the devil, including the new first regiment and the new second regiment, as well as the regiments of our Eighth Route Army, and also laid down some remote towns and towns of the devil.

In order to stabilize the security of some important counties and towns, the devil finally chose to suffer this dumb loss.

As a result, in less than two weeks, we first defeated the devil's Huting stronghold, and then took the devil's Wanjia Town stronghold.

Yoshio Shinozuka, that old devil, is probably going to blow up! ”

When Xu Guoan said these words, his face was full of smiles.

Political commissar Li Wenjie is worried: "The devil has always had a small amount of energy and a strong sense of revenge, this time we launched a winter counteroffensive, how much trauma will the devil have, and when it comes to the spring of next year, I am afraid that the revenge of the little devil will be so fierce!" ”

"Then let the storm come harder!"

Kong Jie said seriously, looked up, saw Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan looking at him in a daze, and added with a smile: "What Gorky said!" ”

Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie, who didn't know Kong Jie well, immediately realized something.

Noticing that Kong Jie's gaze was already wandering erratically on the military sand table, Xu Guoan said with a smile: "Old Kong, don't you still want to add another fire?" ”

"Why not?" Kong Jie asked rhetorically.

"The more fierce this coming storm comes, the more it can temper the iron will to fight and the fearless revolutionary faith of our Eighth Route Army troops.

The little devils want revenge, and I'm waiting for them to come and take revenge! ”

Speaking of this, Kong Jie couldn't help but ask again: "How are the tunnels and tunnel fortifications in the four towns and three towns prepared?" ”

"Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army has nothing else, but when it comes to earthwork, there are many people and great strength, so there is no ambiguity at all.

In addition, our arsenal has specially produced some machinery specially used for digging tunnels for this tunnel and tunnel fortification.

Good guys, that's not usually fast.

In the past, it was good for a soldier to dig a tunnel of one or two meters a day, but with these machines, he could even dig one or twenty meters a day. Xu Guoan replied.

Kong Jie's next words were serious: "A victorious battle is inseparable from adequate preparations.

Before the end of winter, the defensive foundation we laid in the four towns and three towns is the main factor in whether we can stop the Japanese attack in the future.

In addition, we can't continue to retreat from this big sweep that the devil may set off in the spring.

This time, we have to take a new attitude, even with a frontal defense, to let the little devil return home! ”

In this regard, Kong Jie made up his mind.

He knew very well that according to the trend of historical events, by February and March of spring, the Japanese army would definitely launch a sweep of Taihang and Taiyue, including the northwest of Shanxi.

What the purpose is, Kong Jie is also very clear.

It is precisely in response to the May Day sweep that the Jizhong Military Region is about to launch.

Therefore, the little devils took the lead in sweeping and suppressing Taihang, Taiyue and the northwest regions of Shanxi, and prepared in advance for the outbreak of the May Day sweep.

Well, by spring.

The final victory or defeat of the Japanese army's sweeping counteroffensive against the first detachment and the towns occupied by the new 1st and 2nd regiments was particularly important.

Of course, Kong Jie also understands very well that this spring sweep of the devil will be as violent as a storm.

The eyes of several people refocused on the military sand table.

Kong Jie said: "The iron needs to be struck while it is hot, and the same is true for this little devil."

After our winter counteroffensive was fully launched, the little devils have been forced to withdraw their troops and use them for the defense of major counties and towns.

This is our chance, let's take a step back! Can he still bluff us?

This is the stronghold of Huting and the stronghold of Wanjia Town, the Japanese army must have been annoyed, but this is not enough, far from enough, we need to make a bigger move! ”

As Kong Jie said to cadres at a military meeting a few months ago:

"I'm not afraid that the little devil will concentrate his forces against our first team, we have a team that has the confidence to counter the sweep, that is, the toughness of face to face with his little devil, and we are not worthy of him.

But what am I afraid of?

What I'm afraid of is that the devils will launch a sweep and indiscriminately attack our base areas in Taihang Taiyue and even in the northwest of Shanxi.

In this case, our team may be able to easily break through the blockade of the devils, but the other teams can't say it well. ”

What is it like?

It's like a team is now a strong man with strong immunity, so he is not afraid of getting sick.

If you get sick, you can get better quickly.

But I'm afraid that my friends around me will also get sick together.

Then no matter how well a team develops and has sufficient background, it is difficult to take care of other troops.

...... "Then beat him a few more little devil strongholds!" Kong Jie said what he thought.

"Also hit the stronghold!!" Xu Guoan asked.

Kong Jie nodded: "Fight!" It's just some small and medium-sized strongholds, we can't look down on them, and if we want to fight, we have to fight the strongholds of Huting and Wanjiazhen, which are the strongholds that the Japanese army focuses on defending.

If these strongholds are defeated, the devil's transportation capacity, vigilance ability, and traffic capacity will be greatly affected. ”

"That's right!" Xu Guoan nodded, but he still couldn't help but be surprised by Kong Jie's big appetite, "It's just that there are not a few big strongholds like Huting and Wanjia Town in the area of Shouyang, Yangquan, Tan County, and Ping'an County."

Lao Kong, let's make this shot, I'm afraid that the entire northwest of Shanxi will be a mess again! ”

"Then let this pot of porridge be a little more messy!"

"This time, we will not only fight these big strongholds, but also pull other teams to fight together." Kong Jie said.

"Lao Kong, do you mean to pull the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army into this troubled water again?"

Xu Guoan was stunned, good guy, this is a stupid sheep!

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Not only the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, but also the 311 Regiment of the National Army, the 71st Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, and even the 358 Regiment of Chu Yunfei, we will all pull him over."

Plus, it's even possible to put the message out.

Including the national army troops in some places, and even some bandit troops who fight devils, we can provide them with convenience, get out of the way, and respond to them to fight devils! ”

"This ......"

Time seems to be going back, and Kong Jie's words seem to remind Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie of an incident a year or two ago.

What's the incident?

The entire Sanjin Dynasty, armed in various places, armed to seize the cash flow of the Japanese army and the looting of the material flow.

At that time, the entire northwest of Shanxi was completely chaotic.

The bandits, the Chiang army, the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui army, and the local national army all carried out armed looting of some towns and villages in the Japanese-occupied areas as if they were crazy.

"That robbery tide can bluff the entire Sanjin little devils.

Until now, I heard that there are still many cadres in our country, who miss the atmosphere at that time, and still think about when they will make such a fuss again! Xu Guoan said with a smile.

Kong Jie said: "Isn't this the opportunity coming.

In fact, on our soil, as a native of China's armed forces, we have a unique propaganda advantage compared with the little devils.

In addition, it is human nature to fall down trees and scatter and beat water dogs.

Now in this winter counteroffensive, the little devils are retreating one after another, we are singing all the way, who can't see this situation with a clear eye?

Who doesn't want to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie in the stronghold where the devils hoard supplies in large quantities?

As long as we publicize it enough, I'm afraid the bandits will come down from the mountain to help deal with the little devils. ”

Xu Guo'an said: "I completely believe in this, but there is one point, Lao Kong, you said that the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army and the 71st Regiment will agree to attack the Japanese stronghold with us, I believe this."

It's just Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get set, right? ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "It's man-made, Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment is the elite unit of the Jin Sui Army, if this Chu Yunfei can participate in the battle, it can better represent the attitude of the Jin Sui Army."

This kid has to be pulled in! ”

As for how to do it, Kong Jie has already planned for a long time.

Not two days.

The headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army.

Chu Yunfei, who was studying the soldiers at the headquarters, suddenly received a letter sent to him by Kong Jie.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who sent the letter also specially explained that this letter can only be opened by Commander Chu.

When the letter arrived in Chu Yunfei's hand, the knowledgeable Fang Ligong said with a smile: "Tuanzao, this is a special letter from Kong Jie, so it is inconvenient for me to be present." ”

As he spoke, Fang Ligong turned his head and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chu Yunfei.

"That Kong Jie is also a bright and upright man, so he won't send any letters that he doesn't dare to see people, meritorious brother, just stay and read it together."

Chu Yunfei is not stupid, these people have one more witness.

Otherwise, if someone turns around and frames himself for fornicating with the Eighth Route Army, who will he go to reason?

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong responded, but he was also very curious, "Tuanzao, what did you say this Kong Jie said in the letter?" ”

Chu Yunfei smiled, opened the envelope, and then took out two things from the envelope.

A letter that appears to have been written by Kong Jie.

And the other is ...... A map?

Spread out the map, it seems to be just a conventional combat map, and the content includes most of the counties and towns in the Japanese-occupied areas in the northwest of Shanxi.

In addition, there are some eye-catching points marked with a red pen.

——Yangguan base, Pingbei base, Hanoi base......

Fang Ligong looked at it for a moment, and said with a little stunned: "It's amazing, Tuanzao, this Eighth Route Army has almost marked out some important large-scale strongholds of the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi.

Then Kong Jie shouldn't have such a big appetite and is ready to directly eat these Japanese strongholds in the entire northwest of Shanxi, right? ”

Chu Yunfei didn't respond for the time being, he was reading the letter that Kong Jie wrote to him.

According to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who sent the letter, this was a handwritten letter from the head of the Kong regiment.

Looking at the words in the letter, Chu Yunfei sighed with emotion: "It is said that this Kong Jie, like Li Yunlong, is a mud-legged general with little culture, but now it seems that it is not as rumored.

Based on this letter alone, if it was really written by Kong Jie himself, you can see one or two.

The pen is strong, full of confidence, resoluteness, and seems to have a momentum of courage to move forward. ”

Fang Ligong was silent, he had never seen these things from these handwritings.

"Tuanzao, I heard that the generals of the Eighth Route Army will also conduct some cultural studies in addition to fighting, perhaps the culture that Kong Jie learned in the army."

"That's even more amazing, just imagine, if this person graduated from a regular military academy, what kind of genius he would be!" Chu Yunfei said.

"Even in the midst of the war, the Eighth Route Army has never stopped learning. In contrast, in our Jin Sui army team, which officer is not eating his old book?

Learning can make people progress and make meritorious brothers, isn't this enough to make you and me wake up? ”

Fang Ligong nodded approvingly.

The Eighth Route Army has grown stronger and stronger over the years, perhaps because of its unremitting self-improvement and continuous learning.

The two said a few words, and refocused their attention on what Kong Jie had written in the letter......
