The new journey is full of challenges.

Originally, the victory of the battle around Datong and Zhangjiakou successfully killed the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, and the generals were all happy.

But with what Wang Huaibao said, everyone spoke again one by one, and only then did they find that the revolutionary road was still full of difficulties.

Although North China has won battles one after another.

But this was after all because the main combat forces of the Eighth Route Army were gathered in North China.

In Central China and East China, including the Northeast region, the Japanese army still occupied an absolute advantage, and completely blocked all anti-Japanese forces militarily.

On the frontal battlefield, Chiang's army was defeated and retreated, and it was impossible to forge ahead, and it was still reluctant to protect itself.

The anti-Japanese situation is still grim!

Even in North China, where the anti-Japanese situation is the best, as Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said: "Through the intelligence we have collected from many sources, it is not difficult to find that the Japanese army seems to have made fundamental adjustments to the situation against our Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines."

They no longer send their troops out at will, or enter our base areas to sweep up.

The devils even shrank back the strength of some minor counties, towns, and towns on the outer line, and concentrated their forces to stick to some important counties, towns, towns, and communication lines, forming a confrontation situation with us.

From a certain point of view, this is indeed the result of our victory in the campaign, which further stabilized the anti-Japanese situation behind enemy lines.

But from another aspect, we have to admit that when the devil no longer takes the initiative to attack, but chooses to shrink his forces and hold on, after being a shrinking turtle.

We really don't have a good way to pry open the devil's tortoise shell! ”

Ding Wei echoed: "Over the years, we have been fighting devils, and we have always advocated a policy, that is, we must completely beat the devil to him."

Right now, it really hurts the devil, and as a result, the devil begins to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

If we continue to deal with the little devils according to the original strategic policy, I am afraid that there will be no such obvious effect. ”

"Damn, this little devil raised by a son of a bitch is not beaten, and he is not happy!" Li Yunlong scolded and scolded.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Although it is said that people have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries, but this meal still has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step, take your time!"

At least after this war, our base areas and units will indeed need a period of repair and development.

Taking advantage of this period of time, let's think about how to deal with this little devil who is a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

The great and pure revolutionary martyrs not only have a strong spirit of patriotism, a fearless spirit of sacrifice, but also a spirit of revolutionary optimism.

After talking about the unpleasant topic in the past, Kong Jie changed his words and said with a smile:

"Comrades, this great victory is indeed something to celebrate, and there is another happy event, and I have to say something to everyone.

If my estimate is right, it won't be long before we can drink the joy of an old comrade-in-arms again! ”

"Oh, who?" Commander Wang asked impatiently.

Ahem cough cough –

Kong Jie's eyes looked straight at Li Yunlong, and his face was full of laughter, "I said Lao Li, your progress is okay, it's really a war and a wife don't delay!" ”

How could Li Yunlong admit it, and pretended to be confused: "Old Kong, what do you mean by this?" Why can't we understand? ”

Ding Wei was even more puzzled: "Lao Kong, you can't be mistaken, right?" With Li Datou's virtue, can there be a girl who takes a fancy to him? ”

Kong Jiele said: "I'm quite surprised by this, who would have thought that this Lao Li would be as happy as fighting and begging for a wife."

It's only been a few days, Zhao Jiayu Women's Rescue Association, Lao Li ran back and forth four or five times, and every time he went over with a large bag of gifts and various condolences, he was only empty-handed when he came back.

As soon as the battle of the 14th Division was over, the generals of all our parties led their troops back to the base area and reorganized the troops first, but guess what Lao Li did? People went to the Women's Rescue Association to tell stories first! ”

Li Yunlong: "......"

"Is that really the case?" Ding Wei was surprised.

"Damn, Lao Kong, I said that you are such a big person in charge of the base area, you don't do business, you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do, and you are staring at our Lao Li all day long?" Li Yunlong, who couldn't hold on, began to scold.

Kong Jie had not yet spoken, and Ding Wei and Commander Wang took the lead in launching an offensive.

"Okay, you old Li, this work is confidential enough!"

"That's it, hurry up and tell the big guy what's going on, be honest, confess leniently, and resist strictly!"

Zhao Gang even pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Lao Li, I will take care of the things in my life, what is the problem with you?" I don't even know about such a big thing, and you're too disrespectful! ”

"Don't, don't, don't! What are you doing here? Didn't our Lao Li just want to get a wife? What's the matter, this wife is still violating the king's law? You are one by one, three sessions will be tried?

If you want to be tried, you should also try others, just say that he is Lao Kong, not to mention that he has already begged his wife, the baby is about to land, and our Lao Li is still far away! ”

Li Yunlong defended, but after all, he couldn't resist everyone, so he had to tell himself and Yang Xiuqin, the director of the Women's Rescue Association.

Of course, according to Li Yunlong's style, it is indispensable to add oil and vinegar.

"Or what do you think? Hehe, how did our Lao Li say that it was also a handsome descendant of ten miles and eight towns, Comrade Xiuqin just glanced at it, hehe, he took a fancy to our Lao Li, and others couldn't look down on it again!

Ding big nose, what is your expression?

Let me tell you, just like you, when you go to the Women's Rescue Association, the female comrades are afraid that they don't even lift their eyelids, what do you compare with our old Li? ”

Ding Wei's mouth was not neat enough, and he was scolded and drunk.

"Gotta get it, Lao Li, I can't afford to mess with this person who has a wife, but I can afford to hide, it's always okay, right?

Just tell me when you will get married, right? ”

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "I have said it to Lao Li, I will take care of the things in life, it just so happens that we have won a big victory this time, I think it is better to have a double happiness, this matter should be sooner rather than later." ”

"Then hurry up and pick an auspicious day for the zodiac!" Kong Jie said peacefully, according to the information provided by Aunt Zhang, the deputy director of the Women's Rescue Association, Xiuqin's heart had already been taken away by Li Yunlong.

According to Aunt Zhang's narration, Lao Li has no experience in falling in love, so he simply plays straight balls when he comes up.

Kong Jie can almost imagine such a situation:

Li Yunlong won the battle, got the seizure, prepared some supplies, and then pulled them to the Women's Rescue Association, and stuffed good things into the hands of Xiuqin.

It's just that the girl in this period is simple-minded, and Xiuqin is a woman who dares to love and hate, dare to make revolutions, and has new ideas in the new era.

This back and forth, although it is still close to piercing the layer of window paper, the two of them basically have no intention of running away from each other.

Otherwise, Lao Li Fangcai wouldn't have bragged.

There are some things in this that Lao Li still has a score.

In the end, everyone set an auspicious day for the zodiac, and just a week later, a big wedding was held for Li Yunlong in the experimental military region.

……

……

Day 3.

At the end of the campaign, the boss and the deputy chief of the general staff presided over the post-war summary meeting at the headquarters, which was attended by the commanders of the military regions, the commanders of the special units, and the brigade commanders of the departments.

Including Commander Fu, they all secretly attended the post-war summary meeting.

After the meeting began, the boss took the lead in opening his mouth and pointed out the theme, and then the generals from all walks of life put forward some discussions and views on the operations of their own units in this battle.

As a heavyweight participant, Commander Fu said with a smile: "Don't look at the good publicity outside, the Japanese army has completed the campaign goal and taken Datong and Zhangjiakou."

Our 35th Route Army also represented the troops of the Jiang Army to lay down the lair of the troops stationed in Mongolia, and also severely damaged the Morita Tank Division of the Mongolian Army.

But in fact, it is you who have gained the most.

However, there is one thing I don't want to say big, this time, with the cooperation of our air force's firepower reinforcements, after our 35th Route Army successfully captured Baotou and other places, the situation in Mengxi is becoming clearer and clearer.

Trying to open up a channel to enter the Tohoku region is also on the agenda. ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals were all excited.

Commander Fu then turned his words and looked at Kong Jie, who was now more and more interested in Kong Jie.

When the 35th Route Army ambushed the Morita Tank Division, as the person in charge of the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army, he said that he would send air firepower to reinforce the 35th Route Army, which was the decision issued by Kong Jie.

Because of this, Commander Fu felt that he owed Kong Jie a favor.

"Lao Kong, what do you think of the follow-up situation of our resistance against Japan?"

Everyone's eyes converged.

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Yigong, if you want me to say, in the future, we can no longer call it anti-Japanese, we can change our thinking, just call it Destroy the Sun, Attack the Japanese Invaders, and Destroy the Japanese Army."

We have an old saying in China, debts are repaid, murder is repaid, and blood debts should be paid with blood.

Since the Japanese invasion of China, there have been countless crimes committed on our land, and now it is time for us to recover the interest little by little.

Kill, kill the little devil with a broken heart, and only those who can escape from our China can be regarded as having the ability! ”

After the domineering remarks were finished, Kong Jie rushed to the topic again:

"Now, with the development of the equipment of our Eighth Route Army and the growth of the troops, I believe that the mode of war has entered a new stage.

In this war, our army has invested in Type 42 ordinary and heavy tanks, new fighters, new semi-automatic rifles, and new light and heavy machine guns, which have initially formed our own weapon system.

It is also equipped with mortars of various calibers, barreled artillery, as well as new trucks, tractors, etc., and has achieved great success through actual combat tests.

The emergence of these new equipment will also bring revolutionary changes to our army's combat mode.

From now on, our troops of the Eighth Route Army will also be able to fight during the day, by rail, and by road, and they will no longer be able to drill ravines and take small roads.

But there are pros and cons to everything.

This new situation is also a very big test for the commanders and fighters of our field army.

If we are accustomed to the commanders of the old mode of warfare and cannot change our thinking in time and adapt to the current mode of warfare, it will be a very troublesome thing.

Therefore, I suggest that we should especially strengthen the study of new tactics such as ground-air coordination, infantry artillery coordination, and infantry and tank coordination among traditional military cadres.

It is best to transfer commanders who have experience in front-line new combat command to the rear and set up a special teaching and experimental base, so as to enhance the command ability of our military cadres in the new combat situation.

In addition, we can also conduct military exercises corresponding to new-style warfare to further enhance the combat effectiveness of our troops in actual combat.

Learning from war in the war, we are not afraid of falling behind, as long as we keep catching up, there will always be a time when we will completely surpass the devils and crush the Japanese army in all aspects. ”

Listening to you nodded one after another, thinking about Kong Jie's proposal, Commander Fu sighed even more:

"I never understood before, why your Eighth Route Army was in such a difficult environment behind enemy lines, but it was still able to resist tenaciously, not to mention being wiped out by the Japanese army, and still gradually developed and expanded.

Now it's getting clearer.

In addition to their own beliefs, patriotic feelings, and tenacious will to fight.

What is more important is your mentality of constantly striving for self-improvement and continuous learning and progress, which is far beyond the reach of those old warlord troops. ”

and then continue the meeting.

Kong Jie also made a suggestion, saying that this winter, the Taihang area, the Luliang area, and the Mengxi area have gradually become a solid base area.

We can try to change the policy from a strategy that prioritizes the military to one that develops the military and the economy together.

On the one hand, it will integrate military production, and on the other hand, it will develop the economy and strengthen the army, and at the same time improve the economic situation of the common people in the base areas.

Commander Fu agreed: "From this point of view, Lao Kong, your special experimental military region is the best successful example, the base area is stable, the troops are strong, and the economy is booming, this is the thriving state that the anti-Japanese revolutionary base area should have!" ”

The discussion continued.

According to the current situation of troop building, all the armored units and mechanized units of the Iron Triangle Group Army have been formed, and there is almost the size of an integrated armored division.

The 129th Division had an armored regiment.

The 386, 385 brigades each have an armored regiment.

The 120th Division had an armored regiment in Luliangshan.

There is an armored regiment in the Jizhong Military Region.

There are also quite a few independent armored battalions and independent armored companies in other major military regions.

The headquarters also has an armored unit and a rapid reaction force directly under the headquarters.

Commander Fu's 35th Route Army also had an armored division.

Of course, the strength of the armored forces here should be the strongest of the Iron Triangle Army.

But as soon as everyone adds up, the base area is too large, and if you want to start a full-scale war with the devils, it is still far from enough to rely on these mechanized troops.

The battle around Datong and Zhangjiakou only revolved around one point, which was barely enough.

If you want to fight the Japanese army in an all-round way, you need at least ten times the current scale, or even dozens of times, before you can try to fight against the troops of the devils in all aspects.

In addition, there is the regularization of artillery units, and it is an unimaginably arduous task to compete with the Japanese army, which has an extremely deep military industrial foundation and a large number of artillery pieces of various types.

So......

"After all, we still need to develop vigorously! The current situation is still grim for us, the revolution has not yet been completed, and comrades still need to work hard! So summed up the Deputy Chief of the General Staff.
