At that time, at the military meeting of the General Headquarters, when Kong Jie proposed to unite the allied countries to hold this military competition in Licheng, he pointed out sharply:

"The military competition is more of a gimmick, mainly to promote cooperation and exchanges between our allied countries in military tactics, strategies, campaigns and even politics and economics.

Not only do we understand this truth, but the Allied countries understand this truth, and the little devils also understand this truth.

At the beginning of the competition here, let's see, the little devil can't sit still, I'm afraid he can't even sleep.

Maybe the Japanese army thought that we were preparing how to deal with him in private under the guise of a competition! ”

In fact, it is exactly that.

Although the general situation on the Allied side improved slightly, it did not go well, and in order to counter the enemy army, it paid a considerable price.

On the other hand, on the battlefield between China and Japan, the Eighth Route Army was in such a dangerous environment behind enemy lines, but it was able to grow rapidly, and even constantly thwarted the Japanese army.

Nowadays, the Eighth Route Army has even built a relatively advanced military merit system behind enemy lines.

Naturally, the Allied countries also wanted to come and get some scriptures.

Discuss with the Eighth Route Army the issue of building a tactical and equipment system.

After all, the Eighth Route Army has made great achievements in ground-air coordination, infantry coordination, infantry artillery coordination, and large-scale armored forces, which is obvious to all.

Among them, the Allied countries mainly focused on the experience of the Eighth Route Army in mountain warfare, the tactics and experience of armored troops, mechanized artillery units, and infantry cooperation.

Including the guerrilla combination of the Eighth Route Army's very flexible mechanized synthetic combat battalions.

There are also the problems of self-propelled artillery and anti-tank gun formations, as well as the unique formation of rocket-to-ground attack aircraft.

With the popularization of small, medium, and large field air defense artillery with faster response, and the continuous decline in the survivability of dive bombers, countries such as the Allied countries, which have powerful air forces in their hands, are in urgent need of new ground attack methods so that their air forces can still occupy the absolute stage of modern operations.

In addition, there is also the miraculous mechanized troop maintenance ability of the Eighth Route Army, and so on.

These were all things that the troops of the Eighth Route Army showed that surprised the Allied countries.

And for the special tendency expressed by the generals of the Allied countries to learn about these experiences and tactics.

The generals of the Eighth Route Army were also quite open-minded and agreed to come down.

No problem!

Since it is the Allies who want to learn, our Eighth Route Army will never hide their personal interests.

I can even give you a class directly, and with the help of the real combat examples of our Eighth Route Army command, we will give you a thorough analysis and explanation.

Ahem –

However, you should understand the principle of coming and not being rude.

If you want to learn from the experience and tactics of our Eighth Route Army, our Eighth Route Army naturally wants to learn from the strengths and weaknesses of your allied countries, integrate each of them, and learn something new.

For example, a certain commander of the Eighth Route Army was very interested in the maintenance of weapons, marching, water supply, and oil supply for the Allied troops marching and fighting in desert areas.

Why!

-- There are also many deserts and Gobi deserts to the west of Yan'an, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the long-distance march, water sources, and oil consumption can be very successful.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army lacked experience in this area and just learned from the Allies.

In addition, the artillery development committee headed by Mr. Lin was very interested in the ability of the British army to coordinate the operation of large clusters from the front-line artillery to the in-depth artillery.

Such a good opportunity naturally cannot be missed, and we must give full play to the spirit of our Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers who love to learn.

Li Yunlong didn't want to miss such a good learning opportunity.

Lao Li found General Patton and said straight to the point that he was particularly interested in the US mechanized army group operations.

Barton had also heard of Li Yunlong's name for a long time, and knew that among the three important members of the Iron Triangle, there was such an iron-blooded general with a big head, who was very capable of causing trouble, had a lot of ideas when it came to fighting, and was not afraid of heaven and earth.

The two hit it off at first sight.

Maybe it's because of the same smell, after these few words, a mouthful of an old ba, a mouthful of an old Li, and a mouthful of Lao Li, they call each other.

It's almost a bloody alliance and a brother of a foreign nationality.

With the in-depth exchanges, the two learned from each other and discussed with each other some tactics and strategies for modern operations and experience in army unification.

Lao Li behaved very boldly, and Barton was also a real person, and he taught him everything.

On the other hand, Kong Jie was very interested in the Battle of Kursk of the Soviet Army, and large-scale mechanized group operations were not common.

After the Eighth Route Army is thoroughly strengthened, the direction of future operations will sooner or later move closer to the direction of large-scale mechanized cluster operations.

Including the plan for this advance to the north.

Kong Jie naturally seized the opportunity to study hard, in order to learn something, Kong Jie also specially asked the staff officers to make a corresponding military simulation sand table, and the Soviet generals conducted simulated confrontation training on the sand table.

Almost the battle situation at that time, the clash of ideas and tactics of the generals of the two sides, and the strategic planning were all in front of him.

Interestingly, when Kong Jie simulated the enemy army of the Soviet side and used the tactics that the Eighth Route Army was good at to counterattack, the Soviet side's originally proud tactical command kept hitting a wall, and finally lost this simulated confrontation directly.

This shocked the Soviet generals to close their mouths, and the generals who took the lead sighed with emotion: "Kong, fortunately, our enemy is not your Eighth Route Army!" ”

The two sides chatted hotly, and they were very rewarding.

The commander-in-chief of Yan'an specially summoned everyone to the war room to discuss, and chatted for three days and three nights.

It was truly an unprecedented grand occasion for military discussions.

Even the generals of the New Fourth Army rushed over when they heard the sound, and they were still holding notebooks, looking like they were seriously seeking advice and studying.

For a time, the competition became secondary, and the discussion of various combat tactics and special situations encountered in the war was the main gain.

In addition to the generals of the allied countries, many generals of the Jin Sui Army, including the Central Army, also participated, and the generals of the Eighth Route Army were open-minded, they were all Chinese troops, and naturally they would not deliberately exclude them.

Like Chu Yunfei of the Jin Suijun Army and Zhang Zongling of the Central Army, these are all high-achieving students from professional classes, and they can almost understand the tactical and strategic experience of the two sides.

It's just that at the end of the discussion meeting, when he left the conference room, Chu Yunfei was constantly shaking his head and sighing.

Zhang Zongling said with a smile: "With this discussion meeting, this trip is not worthwhile, why did Brother Yunfei shake his head and sigh?" ”

Chu Yunfei said helplessly: "Senior, what do you think of the experience of the allied countries, including the Eighth Route Army, in terms of tactical and strategic thinking?" ”

"It's amazing!" Zhang Zongling replied.

"What about our army?" Chu Yunfei asked.

Zhang Zongling was obviously stunned: "Yunfei, what do you want to say?" ”

Chu Yunfei sighed bitterly: "Senior, this is the reason why I am helpless, the experience of these strategies and tactics proposed by the allied countries, including the Eighth Route Army, as well as the equipment system and the development direction of the troops, is very precious.

But the actual situation is almost like a castle in the air for us.

Even if our generals can master these strategies and tactics, including the advanced army command ideas of the Eighth Route and the allied countries, then what is the use?

After all, we don't have these equipment at all!

It is like a backward and poor country that does not even have a single fighter plane, and spends its days immersed in a meeting to discuss the development and combat of aviation construction and operations of a powerful country.

Even if there is income, what is the difference between listening to the book of heaven? ”

Zhang Zongling was deeply silent.

Oh, yes!

The current level of equipment of the Eighth Route is too exaggerated, and it has even far surpassed the Jin Sui Army and even his Central Army.

What aviation units, the combat of elite armored units.

For the national army, it is more like an unattainable castle in the air.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, when the national army was at its richest, the elite Central Army that was specially assembled could not meet such equipment standards.

However, at a great cost, an armored corps was reluctantly formed, and in the midst of hasty time and improper training, it was rushed into the battlefield before it had completely formed combat effectiveness, and the result was basically folded in the Battle of Songhu.

Not to mention now.

Or a large mechanized swarm operation?

It is still unknown whether the war-torn Central Army will be able to assemble a mechanized combat force today.

In the end, Chu Yunfei and Zhang Zongling left a little lonely, which can be regarded as an early exit.

Kong Jie, who heard the news, also rushed to see him off.

"Senior Commander Zhang, Brother Yunfei, since you're here, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Zhang Zongling shook his head, politely rejected Kong Jie's kindness, and left.

Only Chu Yunfei was left in front of him.

Kong Jie began to dig his heart: "Brother Yunfei, Senior Commander Zhang and I are at most nominal allies, so it's just polite."

But you and I are different, we have known each other for so many years, and we have fought devils together and helped each other, not to mention friends, and even brothers.

Even Lao Li's temperament is a thumbs up when he talks about Brother Yunfei.

Brother Yun Fei should have arrived at the realm of our Eighth Route Army, it should have been like arriving at his own home, why was he in such a hurry to leave?

I still want to go back and find an opportunity to discuss the current international situation with Brother Yunfei, as well as the follow-up trend of our Chinese army's anti-Japanese war! ”

Chu Yunfei smiled and shook his head: "Brother Kong, Chu is just a soldier, to be honest, Chu was still a little angry at the beginning, and he also thought about fighting on the battlefield and serving the motherland, at the cost of horse leather shrouds."

But until he met Brother Kong, Chu also recognized himself more clearly.

Compared with Brother Confucius, who integrates military command, troop development, base area construction, and economic construction, Chu is just a soldier and a pure soldier.

Brother Confucius can develop a base area prosperously, completely raise the equipment level of the troops, and even promote the development of the three armed forces.

But all Chu can do is win a few battles when he's lucky, that's all.

Every time I think of this, Chu is ashamed of himself! ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Brother Yunfei, why did you say this, if a soldier serves his family and country, do he still have to divide his ability?" It's just a passion.

But then again, Brother Yunfei, I have something from the bottom of my heart, I don't know if Brother Yunfei is willing to listen to it? ”

"Chu listens!"

"It's okay, Brother Yunfei is a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush. Now the situation of the Sino-Japanese war, Brother Yunfei should be able to see clearly, the little devil is like a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for long.

In the future, this huge China will naturally have a master who is the master of the country.

If the owner is dumb, the family is dumb.

If the master is wise, the family will be wise.

Today's situation is obvious to all, and the growth of our Eighth Route Army is already the trend of the times.

Famous anti-Japanese generals like Commander Fu and Commander Fang have already made the best choice.

Brother Yunlong, you and my friends and brothers, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the master and do things, if Brother Yunfei is really interested, my Eighth Route Army will open the door for you at any time! ”

After talking for a long time, Kong Jie wanted to pull Chu Yunfei to the camp of the Eighth Route Army.

Chu Yunfei laughed happily: "Thank you Brother Kong for your kindness, but Brother Kong should have heard an old saying, the so-called one minister does not care for two masters, and a good woman does not serve two husbands, although Chu is mediocre, he also understands this truth." ”

"Chu is a soldier, he only knows how to fight a good battle, what does the rest have to do with Chu?"

"Brother Kong, take your leave!"

"Take care!"

"Take care!"

Looking at the backs of Chu Yunfei and his guards riding away, Kong Jie sighed in his heart.

He had expected Chu Yunfei to reply like this, and firmly refused.

After all, this is not the "Lu Bu" who called his father-in-law everywhere.

Chu Yunfei is a quite orthodox and pure soldier in his bones, believing that "a soldier should have the backbone of a soldier", such a guy, if he chooses to surrender because of Kong Jie's few words, Kong Jie really wants to underestimate him Chu Yunfei.

With Chu Yunfei's temperament, it is impossible to be as cheeky as Li Yunlong to say: "Haha, thank you Brother Kong for your kindness, then you must remember to keep the gate of your Eighth Route Army for me, maybe I'll figure it out when I come!" ”

Kong Jie was sighing, and Li Yunlong, who was not far away, rushed over, and his loud voice floated over from afar.

"Lao Kong, what's the situation?"

"Refused!" Kong Jiedao.

Hahaha –

Li Yunlong said happily: "Let's just say it, if he is really willing to accept it, he will not be Chu Yunfei." It's just a pity, this kid is destined to go all the way to the dark. ”

Kong Jie smiled, there were some things he couldn't say, and he had more emotions in his heart.

If you follow the original plot trend, it was Chu Yunfei who put on a grand banquet and invited Li Yunlong to the banquet, and also promised the position of deputy division commander of the national army to win over, and then was politely rejected by Li Yunlong's slippery words.

Today's situation has reversed, but it is Kong Jie and Li Yunlong who have made an offer to win over Chu Yunfei.

However, there is a slight difference:

Chu Yunfei thought about the men and horses of Li Yunlong's regiment, but for Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, they might not be able to look down on the team of Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment.

Regarding this point, especially within the Iron Triangle Army, Kong Jie has repeatedly stated:

Rather lack than excess!

Those who have not undergone special assessment and inspection must not join the Iron Triangle Group Army at will.

Now that the Eighth Route Army is growing, it's not like you can mix in if you want to surrender.
