Ding Wei took over the conversation: "The bait is indeed enough, and then we have to determine where the specific battle point is placed, around the area from Datong to the middle of Zhangjiakou, where the terrain is beneficial to our army." ”

Kong Jie paced in front of the huge walled military map of the General Staff.

With his baton, he immediately circled several county towns on the huge military map with a sense of age, from Datong in the southwest corner to Zhangjiakou in the northeast, and in the central area connecting these two counties, Yanggao, Tianzhen, Chaigoubao, Yangyuan, Weixian and other places immediately appeared.

In the end, Kong Jie completely pointed the baton on Yangyuan, and the following words were categorical: "Yangyuan has a unique topography and is located in the area where the counties are combined, I think it is right here to create a burial place for the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army." ”

This word is domineering.

Once upon a time, on the Cangyunling battlefield, the Japanese army, known as an elite Bantian Wing, forced the main force of the Eighth Route Army to avoid confrontation with it head-on, and even had to transfer the field hospital and headquarters in advance under the joint cover of various troops.

And the span from the Sakata Wing in the Devil's District to the 14th Division of the Japanese Army's elite Kwantung Army is more than one or two levels.

If the elite field troops at the division level of the Japanese army had been enough to walk sideways in the entire Eighth Route Army base area a few years ago.

As for Chiang's troops, a regular division to deal with the devils often requires 3 to 5 divisions.

And it has to be the main division of the Central Army.

If it is an elite like the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, then I don't know how many troops are needed to barely cope with it, and I don't know if ten or eight divisions will have to fold in it.

But now, Kong Jie already has such strength and courage, and only with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Special Experimental Military Region, the main force of the former Iron Triangle Field Army, he dares to fight hard-fought with the elite 14th Division of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese army.

After the appointment of the headquarters, the team was further strengthened.

Including Ding Wei's new regiment and Li Yunlong's new second regiment, they have also been further strengthened.

At the same time, the relationship between the three units became even more inseparable, and they formed an inseparable whole, continuing to defend the entire base area with the original solid triangular defense system.

Before the establishment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Special Experimental Zone, the main force of Ding Wei's new regiment had already completed its initial expansion and transformation, and was expanded into a new regiment base field cluster, which included artillery units, mobile field troops, straight-line vehicle combat units, and the Iron Triangle Steel Helmet Field Army.

The combined strength of the elites from all walks of life has reached nearly 10,000 people.

Li Yunlong's new 2nd Regiment has also completed its expansion, and it has been expanded into a field cluster of the new 2nd Regiment base area, which includes the Iron Triangle Steel Helmet Field Army, armored troops, artillery units, and so on, and the number of elite troops has even exceeded 10,000.

As for the first independent detachment of the anti-Japanese resistance in the northwest of Shanxi led by Kong Jie, after further expansion, it had five or six regiments under its jurisdiction.

The strength of each regiment is pulled out separately, that is, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, which was once strong.

In terms of troops, it is definitely not less than Chu Yunfei's reinforced regiment, and as for the level of equipment and combat effectiveness, it is not to mention, Chu Yunfei has to be afraid when he comes.

In this way, after the establishment of the special experimental area, the total number of elite troops under Kong Jie's command was more than double that of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, which had nearly 30,000 troops after the devils were fully equipped.

When he first learned about this specific data, let alone anyone else, even Kong Jie himself was shocked.

Some time ago, due to the arduous revolutionary situation, the Eighth Route Army began to advocate streamlining the administration of the army.

Naturally, the team also set an example.

But who would have thought that in the past two years, the size of the troops has become stronger and stronger, and the number of elite main forces has also increased.

Of course, the effect was also as expected.

The purpose of streamlining the administration of the army is to lighten the burden on the base areas and unite the troops so that the troops will be more combat-effective.

That was indeed the most appropriate policy in the circumstances.

At that time, the economic situation in the base areas was very poor, the military resources in the army reserves were scarce, and in addition to the severe drought in many provinces, the Kuomintang and the Japanese army continued to drive a large number of victims in the direction of the Eighth Route Army base areas.

Under the guidance of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, all the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army were ready to tighten their belts and tide over the difficulties with the common people.

As a result, the major base areas of the Eighth Route Army were streamlined in less than a few months.

Under the guidance of Kong Jie's special proposal at the headquarters meeting, receiving disaster victims and using the demographic dividend to promote the development of base areas.

After a short period of difficulties, the base areas quickly sprung up.

In particular, the population in the base area, which was relatively sparse, was immediately enriched after receiving a large number of disaster victims.

There is also a team of high-quality grain seeds with a very high yield per mu, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes provided by the Ministry of Agriculture.

The volume of agricultural industry in the base areas has increased dramatically.

With the most fundamental guarantee of food for all the military and civilians, the problem of resource shortage that restricts the development of the armed forces will naturally be solved.

There is enough food to eat, the soldiers are well fed, and they have enough strength to train, so naturally there is no need to engage in any more elite soldiers and streamlining administration.

In this way, although the commanders of the units of the Eighth Route Army also consciously reduced the size and number of troops, the number of troops still rose slowly thanks to the enthusiastic participation of the young people in the base areas who were full of food, grateful for the efforts of the Eighth Route Army, and responded positively.

For this reason, Kong Jie, who was in charge of the headquarters, also specially found Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan, and came up with a countermeasure after discussion:

"The recruitment of new recruits in the army must be formulated with corresponding strict assessments, and most of the indicators must be selected from local military units and militia units."

In other words, if we want to recruit, we have to recruit elite soldiers.

This move has also aroused the enthusiasm of the training of local army units and militia units, and has also solved the problem of rapid expansion of the number of troops to a certain extent.

But even so, in a short period of time, the strength of the elite troops under Kong Jie has increased several times.

In Zhao Gang's joking words: "This time, the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army is unlucky and kicked our iron plate." ”

Two days later.

Kong Jie, who was sitting at the headquarters, also received news that the aviation unit had made a great gain a few days ago, and that the marching contingent of concentrated troops that they unexpectedly encountered in the field was the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army.

Xu Guoan, the chief of staff who brought back the news, said with a smile: "The commander of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army is called Inoue, with the rank of lieutenant general.

This old devil in Inoue probably hasn't tasted the power of our Eighth Route Army aviation unit, and he even swaggered to put a dense military column in the field, and the result was just for our reconnaissance plane to collide.

The other equipment of this Kwantung Army is exceptionally sophisticated, but the air defense weapons are not too many, coupled with the dense military columns, after being bombed by us repeatedly, the casualties are extremely heavy, according to our statistics afterwards, that air raid killed at least two or three thousand little devils. ”

Ding Wei suddenly realized: "Now the matter is clear, I said that these days, the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army has been clamoring to fight to the death with our Iron Triangle Army, and even threw the challenge book to our base area."

Feelings are early hatred!

It's a pity, if we knew that that unit was the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, we would have to continue to chase and kill him, and wipe him out in one go! ”

Xu Guoan smiled, and then brought another piece of news:

"The head of the devil's secret service, Tu Feiyuan, that old devil specially asked the puppet army to bring us news, saying that he wanted to return to the war and died near Datong and Zhangjiakou, and did not have time to take away the corpses of Japanese soldiers."

Kong Jie was a little surprised by this, "Interesting, I was still thinking that it should be Yoshio Iwamatsu or Naosaburo Okabe who came forward to ask for the corpse on the little devil's side!" ”

"Lao Kong, then we still haven't paid it back?"

"And, of course! Moreover, we have to publicize it with great fanfare, and our Eighth Route Army will return it free of charge out of the spirit of humanitarianism.

Of course, although it is returned for free, we have spent a lot of money to help resettle and transport the corpses, and our Eighth Route Army is already poor, and it is not as rich as the devils, and this money is a little devil. ”

Xu Guoan thought deeply and said: "It's this reason, Lao Kong, then how much money do you think a devil can pay?" ”

"200 oceans, no less!" Kong Jie said.

Xu Guoan: "......"

"The little devils definitely can't agree, their soldiers' pensions are not 1/20!"

Kong Jie smiled: "Then it depends on how we advertise, besides, we are asking for a price, and the little devil can also bargain!" ”

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong on the side gave a thumbs up in admiration.

is worthy of the God of Wealth, this is called making money!

The old comrades-in-arms laughed for a while and then returned to the topic, with information from all sides, coupled with the operational plan of deciding to inflict heavy damage or even total annihilation of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army in the Yangyuan area.

Kong Jie proposed that himself, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong represent all parties to conduct a military exercise.

Li Yunlong, who didn't fight for three days and was like a cat scratching in his heart, immediately agreed.

Lao Li is a straight man, he hates little devils, and he is not willing to play the Japanese side even during military exercises, he said with a big grin: "I represent the Eighth Route Army to defend, Lao Kong and Lao Ding, it will be difficult for the two of you to attack on the side of the Japanese army!" ”

Ding Weile said: "Lao Li, you are not afraid of the cowhide blowing up, why, you want to beat me and Lao Kong?" ”

"Hehe, even if you two are tied together, I'm really not afraid of you, let the horse come!" Li Yunlong, who has never been afraid of heaven and earth, does not have the word "retreat" in his dictionary.

Kong Jie smiled, "It's okay, knowing yourself and knowing that you are invincible in a hundred battles, if Lao Ding and I have limited knowledge of the Japanese army, we can even fight him Lao Li without the power to fight back."

I think we will have to ponder more deeply about the battle plan for dealing with the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army this time. ”

"Hmph, Lao Kong, don't brag, our Lao Li is not a vegetarian!"

The two sides immediately started a battle, representing both China and Japan, and carried out the exercise with the help of the military simulation sand table in front of them.

As for Zhao Gang, Li Wenjie, Xu Guoan, and Political Commissar Cui and his entourage, they were watching the excitement from the sidelines.

Everyone is full of expectations, and they also want to see who can have the final upper hand in the deduction of Lao Kong, Lao Ding, and Lao Li.

After the deduction began, Li Yunlong was really unambiguous.

The defensive mode he decided to adopt was the tactic proposed by Kong Jie, which was to disperse the air force and adopt wheel warfare to deal with the various flying groups of the Japanese army.

In this regard, Lao Li thought that he had the chance to win: "Hehe, let's just fight like this, so as to respond to all changes, let your little devil's flight unit be stronger than the aviation unit of my Eighth Route Army, you don't want to take advantage of half a point."

As for my base area, the crowd tactics have been built a long time ago, and there are traps everywhere, once your devil's fighter is damaged and the pilot is forced to land, he will become a prisoner of my Eighth Route Army when he turns his head.

I'd like to see how many pilots you little devil can deliver. ”

Kong Jie and Ding Wei glanced at each other, and then said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Li, if you want to fight like this, I, as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, really don't seem to have a way to deal with it."

Then admit it!

Let your Eighth Route Army have air superiority for a few days!

It is a big deal that I will further confine my troops to some counties, towns, and towns, and in addition, I will especially strengthen the air defense forces of various military points and air bases. ”

"You're not fighting?"

Li Yunlong choked, a little depressed for a while, he also thought of a series of means behind him, ready to use to destroy the devil's flying troops!

Ding Wei said: "Why fight? Little devils are not stupid!

Especially under the repeated setbacks in the past two years, the devil no longer has the sharpness of the year, and the little devil is still unambiguous when he should be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Lao Li, don't you think that the Japanese army will blindly use flying troops for the sake of the battle of will?

If I were that old devil in Okabe, I wouldn't fight, wait, wait until the airport defense system in the core security area is complete, I will use the Central China and Kwantung Army air forces that have been reinforced from afar as bait to attract your Eighth Route Army air force to attack, and when the two sides are almost fought, I will send the North China Air Force to attack the various airfields scattered and returning, and destroy the aviation force of your Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Lao Li, Lao Ding has almost exhausted the few air forces of your Eighth Route Army at this time.

If you continue to fight like this, I, the commander of the aviation unit, am afraid that I will become the commander of the light pole! ”

"The old man of the dog day is cunning enough!" Li Yunlong scolded and said: "The devil is targeting the airfield of our Eighth Route Army, and if he wants to destroy the aviation unit of my Eighth Route Army, how can it be so easy? Our airfields have long had a complete air defense system. ”

"Passive defense has never been our Lao Li's style, you little devil can bomb my airport, why can't I blow up your devil's airport?"

Li Yunlong went on to say that heavy bombers would be sent to bomb Japanese airfields, "In addition, our Eighth Route Army airfields are hidden, and there are fake airfields built everywhere, all camouflaged. It's not that easy for you little devil to find the exact location of the airport, right? ”

Kong Jie made a move: "There are already specially camouflaged airfields and fake planes, just waiting for your Eighth Route Army to come to sneak attack and bomb, after the bombing is over, I will send a new moonlight night fighter to take off with a hidden backup runway, and then install the radar introduced by Germany on a land attack to cooperate with the night fighter to fight, and guide the night fighter to attack the bomber unit of the Eighth Route Army."

Maybe there will be new fighters on the line.

Once it follows over your Eighth Route Army airfield, it is enough to completely destroy your Eighth Route Army aviation base in a very short period of time! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Li was angry, and questioned on the spot:

"I'm Lao Kong, is this little devil as cunning as you, and he also played the trick of fake airports, let's not talk about it.

Let's just say that although this devil has a lot of planes, it's not a bottomless pit, as many as you want, right?

In the past few years, the little devils have lost a lot of fighters in the hands of our Eighth Route Army, especially the pilots, and we have captured several batches of them.

Where did you get so many pilots and air forces? ”

Kong Jie asked: "Will the Jiang army and the Soviet army fight devils in winter?" ”

Li Yunlong shook his head, it would be good if the little devils didn't take the initiative to beat them.

Kong Jie said: "So, isn't it a very reasonable situation for the Japanese army to send pilots, accessories, and materials from Taiwan, Korea, Northeast China, and South China to fight a war of attrition against the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"This ......"

Lao Li choked again.
