Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Kong Jie’s position as head of the Independent Regiment has been suspended.

This shows that the boss is still furious.

Although Kong Jie led the reinforced company to pursue all the way to the southeast this time, he successfully found the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers, including 20 special Japanese soldiers who attacked Yang Village at night.

But the boss's leadership style has always been clear about rewards and punishments.

Merits are merits and demerits are faults.

Kong Jie led the reinforced company to destroy the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers. This is an achievement.

But it cannot erase the disastrous defeat of the Independent Regiment in the Yangcun encounter last night.

The sacrifice of more than 300 soldiers is an indisputable fact.

"Captain..."

The cadres opened their mouths to speak up and express their sympathy for Kong Jie.

The Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan stepped forward and said, "Commander, our Second Battalion suffered the heaviest casualties in last night's encounter. It was my fault for commanding as the battalion commander. The commander should punish me if he has to.

I'll go with you, and I'll explain the situation to the boss!"

"Nonsense!" Kong Jie laughed and scolded, "Who do you think I am? How come when a regiment commander loses a battle, he has to put the blame on the battalion commander?

I, Kong Jie, cannot afford to lose this person!"

"okay!"

After scanning the worried cadres, Kong Jie suddenly laughed: "I know what everyone is worried about, but don't worry, whether the boss will really punish me is another matter. I don't feel comfortable abandoning the independent regiment like this."

After making up his mind, Kong Jie made arrangements immediately.

He would not be so stupid as to rush to the regiment headquarters to report to the boss alone.

That's not reporting, that's asking for scolding!

Even if he led the reinforced company to destroy the prisoner-of-war camp and kill the Japanese devils of the No. 20 Yamamoto Special Forces, it would not be enough to offset the sacrifice of more than 300 soldiers in the Yangcun encounter.

But it's a step after all.

If Kong Jie was smart, he could naturally pass this step to the boss, allowing the boss to calm down his anger and walk down the step.

So when Kong Jie left Yangcun and rushed to report to the headquarters, he also brought with him the equipment and ammunition seized from the POW camp, including the body of the Japanese special forces soldier he brought back.

In addition, they drove the captured cars directly, loaded the supplies, and brought the guard Xiaolong, as well as Wei Dayong, Qian Hu, Li Erniu, and Zhao Bing who were rescued from the prisoners of war.

Amid the roar of the car engine, it sped towards the headquarters.

……

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Due to some special reasons, it is temporarily merged with the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, in addition to the deputy commander-in-chief, deputy chief of general staff and other generals, the commander and political commissar of the 129th Division and other cadres are also here in the general command.

The boss was in a bad mood and was quite angry at the moment.

In the final analysis, it was because the independent regiment fought too badly in the encounter in Yangcun last night. More than 300 soldiers died, but not even a single enemy corpse was left behind.

When has the Eighth Route Army ever suffered such a great loss?

Have you ever suffered such a humiliating defeat?

"It was just dough. Even if it was an encounter, this muddled battle ended with more than 300 soldiers sacrificed and not even a single enemy was killed.

I don't know how such a battle is commanded.

I think Kong Jie is tired of being the leader, it's time to change to someone else!"

But that’s not the end.

Just this morning, the signalman sent by the commander-in-chief to the independent regiment hurried back to report that Commander Kong was leading a reinforced company on a rapid march toward the southeast.

It looks like he went to seek revenge on the Japanese!

The boss was furious when he heard the news. In his opinion, Kong Jie's move was just a reckless act because he was eager to regain his position and save face after the defeat in the night attack on Yangcun.

This is definitely not the calmness and rationality that an excellent Eighth Route Army commander should have.

"Does Kong Jie think that the sacrifice of more than 300 soldiers is not enough?"

"He mobilized a reinforced company of troops without asking for permission from his superiors. I think Kong Jie is going to rebel!"

In a rage, the boss originally wanted to send someone to stop Kong Jie and his group and block them from returning.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and no one knew where Kong Jie and his party were going or what route they took.

Helplessly, the boss could only wait for news at the command center, but the longer he waited, the more impatient and angry he became. He wished he could immediately capture Kong Jie, scold him severely, and then send him to the logistics department to feed the horses.

To exaggerate a little.

"First he lost the battle, then he fought without asking for permission, violating discipline. I will not hesitate to shoot him!"

The boss was furious and cursing when the signalman hurried over to report: "Report to the boss, Captain Kong and his men have arrived."

"Huh? So fast?"

The furious boss was stunned. He had just received the news that Kong Jie had led the team back to the base, so he immediately ordered the suspension of Kong Jie's position as the head of the independent regiment and asked him to report to the headquarters.

As a result, the communication cavalry who rushed to deliver the message has not returned yet!

It was Kong Jie who arrived at the regiment headquarters first?

——The reason is very simple. Kong Jie was driving a car, and four wheels are always much faster than four legs. There is a transportation channel built by the Eighth Route Army in the stable base along the way from Yangcun to the front headquarters. Usually, most of the transportation teams use mule and horse carts.

Naturally, it also allows cars to pass quickly.

"Boss, Captain Kong and his men came here by car." The communications soldier seemed to notice the boss's surprise and added.

The boss was puzzled and said, "He even drove a car here. I don't know where he got the car from.

Did he think that I wouldn't punish him just because he drove here?"

"Let's go and take a look!"

Before he finished speaking, the boss had already walked out of the courtyard of the headquarters with great strides.

The deputy chief of general staff, the division commander, and the political commissar exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.

On the way, the deputy chief of the general staff whispered: "Comrade Kong Jie is also a veteran cadre. He is good at leading troops in battles. He is a brave comrade who can fight tough battles.

Moreover, he is very disciplined and always follows orders.

In this encounter at Yangcun, the independent regiment suffered heavy casualties. I don’t know the specific situation, but Kong Jie must have felt worse than anyone else.

If the boss gets angry later, we still have to persuade him!"

The division commander and the political commissar nodded and agreed with him.

A few minutes later the two sides met formally.

The deputy chief of general staff, the division commander, and the political commissar looked up and saw it all.

A Japanese military vehicle came speeding with the roar of its engine. After arriving at the destination, it suddenly stopped and a figure jumped out from the driver's seat.

Take a closer look.

Isn’t it Kong Jie, Captain Kong?

The scene and style were surprising. Just now, when this car was speeding through the heart of the base, it caused quite a stir.

If it weren’t for the familiar face of Kong Jie sitting in the driver’s seat.

The guard troops along the way might have been mistaken for a Japanese convoy.

The boss who saw this scene was also secretly surprised. This kid Kong Jie actually seized a car!

You know, cars are quite scarce and are a rare military resource even for the Japanese army.

Even a division of the Japanese army usually has very limited military vehicles.

As for the Eighth Route Army, which lived in harsh conditions, even the boss only rode a horse when he went to the front line to inspect the work.

Even if we turn the entire Eighth Route Army upside down, we probably won't be able to find a few cars.

However, the sharp-eyed boss paid more attention to Kong Jie.

The general has been leading troops for many years and has appointed countless generals. His understanding and grasp of the psychology of his generals is very accurate.

What does a victorious general look like?

What does a defeated general look like?

That's completely different.

Most of the problems can be seen from the expression on the face.

In fact, the boss is quite fond of Kong Jie, a general who has good work style and always obeys orders.

This time, it was just an encounter that caused the boss to get so angry.

But at the same time as being angry, the boss was actually also worried that the independent regiment would suffer a defeat and that the regiment leader Kong Jie would never recover and would lose the will to fight.

It's not terrible to lose a battle.

The scary thing is that we no longer have the courage and belief in victory.

So the boss asked Kong Jie to report to the headquarters. On the one hand, it was to question and punish him, and on the other hand, it was also to warn Kong Jie, hoping that Kong Jie could withstand the hardship of this defeat and truly grow up.

However, at this moment, the boss unexpectedly discovered that Kong Jie did not show the decadence of a defeated general. On the contrary, his eyes were bright and he walked with his head held high, just like a victorious general!

what on earth is it?
