Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

In this regard, Chu Yunfei had to admit that what Kong Jie and Li Yunlong said was true.

Chu Yunfei also hated the cystic ectopic members among the officers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and wanted to kill them all.

But he was just a low-level soldier.

Finally, after hesitating for a moment, Chu Yunfei agreed to Kong Jie's request to act as a middleman to facilitate business dealings between the Eighth Route Army and some officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

However, the principled Chu Yunfei made it clear that he was only acting as a middleman and he would not be responsible for any other matters.

Kong Jie smiled. This was exactly what Chu Yunfei wanted to hear.

"In that case, Brother Yunfei, on behalf of our Eighth Route Army and the tens of thousands of people in our base area, I would like to thank you for your understanding of justice!"

Chu Yunfei waved his hand: "Brother Kong, please don't say that. I am ashamed. I dare not say that I understand the greater good. I just don't want to see these weapons fall into the hands of the Japanese and turn the guns around to continue shooting at us Chinese."

At this point, the ambush that Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei specially prepared for Chu Yunfei came to an end.

The effect is immediate.

The elite steel-helmeted soldiers ambushed and killed more than 180 Japanese devils with zero casualties.

The complete seizure of Japanese military supplies left a deep impression on Chu Yunfei.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfei stayed in the independent regiment base for another three days with his guards, and continued to discuss tactics against the Japanese army, the country's situation, and the direction of future wars with Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei.

For Chu Yunfei.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei expressed that they met each other too late and they admired each other.

It’s a pity that this kid is on the wrong side and follows the wrong person.

On the fourth day, at the independent regiment base, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei came together to see Chu Yunfei off, and walked him several miles away in one breath.

Chu Yunfei was deeply moved by this enthusiasm.

"As the ancients said, after sending you a thousand miles away, we must eventually say goodbye. Brother Yunfei, although we have only been together for a few days, we always feel like you are an old friend we have known for many years. It seems that this is the fate between us.

I'll just send you here!

Take care of yourself!"

In response to Kong Jie's words, Chu Yunfei saluted solemnly with military etiquette.

"Brother Kong, Brother Yunlong, Brother Ding, take care!"

Looking at Chu Yunfei with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he turned his head, stood upright like a javelin, and strode away with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

Li Yunlong on the side couldn't help but make a clicking sound, as if he was reluctant to let it go.

Ding Wei said happily: "Why, Lao Li, you still can't bear to part with it?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Before I met Chu Yunfei, I thought the officers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army were all good-for-nothings who only knew how to make ends meet. They trembled when they saw the Japanese, but acted arrogantly when they saw the common people. They were even worse than the bandits.

But after seeing Chu Yunfei, we have to admit that among the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, there are still a group of patriotic generals who are truly anti-Japanese.

Moreover, he graduated from a prestigious school like the Whampoa Military Academy, and his knowledge and qualities are beyond reproach.

He is indeed a top student!

This guy looks like a mighty soldier!"

Kong Jie said: "Old Li, it's rare that you have such a high opinion of the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

By the way, if you really can't bear to let him go, you can just keep Chu Yunfei in our Eighth Route Army."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned.

But Li Yunlong admitted: "Chu Yunfei is a real man, and a rare talent. Our Eighth Route Army is in great need of such military talents with strong military accomplishments and both literary and martial skills.

If we can recruit this guy to join our Eighth Route Army, that would be great.”

But he changed the subject.

“But we can feel that Chu Yunfei is a soldier with backbone. He is the kind of man who will never kneel down and beg for life even if you break his legs.

This kind of person is not a wimp like those fence-sitters.

It's not easy to get such a person into our Eighth Route Army, right?"

Ding Wei agreed with this: "Chu Yunfei is a top student who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. Both Commander Yan of the Second War Zone and President Jiang of the Central Army have given him special training and attention.

"We, the Eighth Route Army, may not be able to dig up such a person even with our resources!"

Kong Jie smiled confidently and said, "Two old comrades, why jump to conclusions so early? Everything is possible. Who can predict the future?"

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei expressed hesitation about this.

Li Yunlong said carelessly: "I say, Lao Kong, why didn't I realize that you are also a boaster before.

Aren’t you afraid of getting your tongue stuck if you brag?

Do you want this kid Chu Yunfei to join our Eighth Route Army on his own initiative?

I think it's harder than killing the Japanese commander Yoshio Shinozuka!"

"Old Li, how about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

Kong Jie said: "Let's bet on whether I can pull Chu Yunfei to our Eighth Route Army in the future. If I do, I win. If I can't, you win."

Li Yunlong didn't even think about it and immediately replied, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you. I don't believe you, Kong Erlangzi, have that ability."

"What if I did it?"

"Whatever you say, that's it."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Okay, if I do it, Lao Li, I won't ask for much. You have to recognize me as your elder brother and be respectful when you see me in the future. Don't keep calling me Kong Erlangzi all the time, and you have to swallow all those little words back into your stomach."

"What if you can't do it?" Li Yunlong asked back.

Kong Jie said: "Then what I said just now is reversed. From now on, you, Li Yunlong, are my big brother. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Hahaha--

"I've made up my mind about this bet, Lao Kong, Lao Kong, I'm going to have more little brothers in the future!"

It must feel nice to have an old comrade-in-arms as your younger brother.

However, Kong Jie expressed his confidence, "Old Li, Old Li, just show off as much as you want, you will cry later."

"Old Ding, you are the witness of this bet, so you have to bear witness later."

Ding Wei smiled and said that there was no problem at all, as who doesn’t like to be a spectator?

……

Then, the topic of discussion turned to the issue of how to deal with the upcoming large-scale sweep by the Japanese army as the situation developed.

Li Yunlong said: "It seems that the Japanese will launch a retaliatory sweep against our Eighth Route Army. This is certain, even Chu Yunfei has guessed it.

We have to prepare early.

It’s still the plan of relocating the bases that Lao Kong mentioned before. We have already reported it to our superiors, and the old brigade commander and the general manager have expressed their opinions.

The tactic of station exchange is completely feasible, and they expressed strong support for the station exchange of our three regiments. "

——According to the order of the Eighth Route Army's Front Headquarters, the Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment, and the New 2nd Regiment were selected as the first batch of experimental regiments for the garrison exchange tactics, and some more suitable newly formed regiments in the surrounding areas were selected for exchange.

The final deployment arrangement is:

Ding Wei's New 6st Regiment exchanged its station with the Eighth Route Army's newly formed th Regiment.

Li Yunlong's New Second Regiment exchanged its station with the Eighth Route Army's newly formed 17th Regiment.

Kong Jie's independent regiment exchanged its station with the newly formed 21st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

After finalizing the plan for the tactical exchange of garrisons, the six regiment commanders rushed to the headquarters and held a private military meeting on the tactical exchange of garrisons.

At this military meeting, Kong Jie specifically stated:

"The six regiments will exchange their garrisons with each other. This must be done in batches and in absolute secrecy. After each regiment successfully completes the exchange, they must fly the other's flag to paralyze the Japanese army."

He then looked at Lao Zhou, the commander of the newly formed 21st Regiment, whose base had been swapped with that of his own independent regiment.

They are all old comrades from the Long March.

Kong Jie specifically instructed: "Old Zhou, during this period of time, you must take the comrades of the 21st Regiment to seize the time to familiarize yourself with the deployment of fortifications and troops in our independent regiment's base, as well as the work situation in all aspects.

To quickly and fully integrate into the role of the independent regiment.

Another thing I have always emphasized is that once the Japanese army gathers heavy troops, they will launch a retaliatory sweep against our independent regiment's base.

Our comrades should focus on mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare and try to avoid direct confrontation with the Japanese army. If the situation is not right, we can immediately evacuate through the evacuation channel specially built in our independent regiment's base.

As for some buildings, farmlands, positions, fortifications and so on in the base, the worst that could happen is that they can all be abandoned. After all, preserving the manpower is the most important thing.

The lives of soldiers are much more valuable than these material possessions."

Kong Jie still expressed his apologies for the tactical adjustment of the garrison.

After all, they were swapping the bases of their independent regiment, a strong and well-equipped regiment, with the newly formed 21st Regiment, which was just a newly formed regiment.

This was equivalent to putting all the pressure of the Japanese army on the 21st Regiment.

I'm afraid this feeling is not pleasant.

In fact, among the three newly formed regiments that exchanged their bases with the Independent Regiment, the New 21st Regiment, and the New nd Regiment, the one with the strongest comprehensive strength was Lao Zhou's newly formed st Regiment.

——The new 21st Regiment was actually formed earlier than Li Yunlong’s new nd Regiment.

According to the consistent tradition of the Eighth Route Army, the newly formed regiment will not be formed from the first serial number.

For example, there would not be the new first regiment or the new second regiment, but instead they would directly pull out the numbers of the new tenth regiment or the new twentieth regiment.

What are you doing?

Used to fool the Japanese.

When the Japanese heard about the newly formed 21st Regiment, they thought there were 20 more newly formed regiments ahead!

This method of shocking the enemy with a show of force is sometimes very effective.

The 21st Regiment has a strength of more than 2000 people. In terms of troop size, it is not much different from old main regiments such as the 771st and 772nd Regiments.

It’s just that the equipment level is relatively poor.

After this exchange of garrisons, on the one hand, the firepower configuration presented by the newly formed 21st Regiment could temporarily confuse the Japanese army, and on the other hand, it was also an apology in Kong Jie's heart.

It is also to relieve the pressure on the soldiers of the 21st Regiment.

Kong Jie specially drew resources from the independent regiment, including a considerable amount of equipment and ammunition, as well as military supplies, to support the newly formed 21st Regiment.

As Kong Jie jokingly said, "Just think of it as a reward for asking Lao Zhou and your 21st Regiment to take the pressure off our independent regiment."

Lao Zhou was quite open-minded about this.

"Haha, Lao Kong, if you say so, you can come to me if there is such a good thing in the future. I heard that your independent regiment has developed very quickly in the past six months, and the whole Shouyang is almost in turmoil. The Japanese are probably dreaming of destroying you!

I want to see to what extent the Japanese will attack your independent regiment's base after launching a large-scale mop-up operation.

Including the soldiers of my 21st Regiment, we all dreamed of killing more Japanese devils!

For us, exchanging bases with you is something we have always dreamed of.

You don't have to feel any psychological burden, this is a voluntary thing, we are like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten!"

Even so.

Once the battle started, the Japanese army concentrated heavy troops to attack the independent regiment's base. The pressure on the 21st Regiment increased dramatically, and casualties were probably inevitable.

But these pure revolutionary martyrs did all this just thinking about how to better kill the devils and defend their country.

Lao Zhou was quite looking forward to this. "After your independent regiment is transferred to our 21st Regiment base, the Japanese who attacked our 21st Regiment base will probably be in big trouble this time!"

After the garrison was exchanged according to the deployment of the headquarters, the purpose was to disguise the 21st Regiment as an independent regiment after the Japanese army launched a large-scale mopping-up operation, and to tie down the main force of the Japanese army in the independent regiment base.

At the same time, the independent regiment was used as a sharp knife to quickly break through the limited defense line that the Japanese army originally used to block the 21st regiment. Then it went all the way to the rear of the Japanese army.

This is how we besiege Wei to save Zhao.

The inside should be in harmony with the outside.

The Japanese army's large-scale sweep was naturally defeated without a fight.

At the military meeting at the headquarters, facing Kong Jie's instructions, Lao Zhou said: "Old Kong, don't worry, our 21st Regiment's equipment level is not as good as your independent regiment, and our troops are not as many as your independent regiment.

But even if we can't defeat the Japs, we still know how to escape."

Kong Jie nodded. After hearing what Lao Zhou said, he felt more at ease.

At the same time, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei also made handovers with Lao Qian of the new 17th Regiment and Lao Wu of the new th Regiment, and probably also gave instructions in this regard.

——After all, according to the current development of the troops, the independent regiment, the new first regiment and the new second regiment are far more equipped than the conventional newly formed regiments.

The combat effectiveness displayed is naturally completely different.

Therefore, the headquarters decided to use the Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment as experimental regiments for the tactical exchange of bases, based on the final results of this anti-mopping-up operation.

Then decide whether this tactic can be used as one of the basic tactics of the Eighth Route Army to deal with the Japanese army's large-scale mopping-up operations.

...The base of the newly formed 21st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was opened up in the suburbs of Xiyang. With its back against the mountains, it could attack or defend.

Many of the more remote villages were included in the base of the 21st Regiment. The regiment commander, Lao Zhou, was an old cadre with rich combat experience and rich experience in developing bases.

The troops are led very well and the base is developing in an orderly manner.

This is the only way to quickly grow the strength of the entire regiment from less than 1000 people to more than 2000 people.

The Japanese army in Xiyang area also launched several large-scale mopping-up operations against the 21st Regiment's base.

But they were all repelled by the 21st Regiment.

For this exchange of garrisons, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the 21st Regiment were divided into several groups, with only a few hundred people at a time, disguised as transport teams or local people, and secretly exchanged and transferred...
