Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Facing the reinforcements of the main force of the Japanese 36th Division.

This included the Japanese 36th and 41st Divisions, which simultaneously advanced and put pressure on the Taihang base area.

The Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi pushed almost all of its main forces towards the Taihang base.

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff immediately issued the following instructions to the headquarters of the independent regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment:

Relying on the favorable terrain of the base area, we launched layers of blocking and delayed the Japanese army, thus buying time for the anti-mopping-up operations in other base areas and the transportation and transfer of large amounts of captured materials.

However, at the temporary joint command, a military meeting was held with the participation of three old comrades, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong, as well as the political commissar of the third regiment.

Kong Jie said: "After the May 1st anti-mopping-up campaign, the Japanese army is doomed to return with a disastrous defeat. However, after the battle, the Japanese army will definitely shift its military focus to the battlefield behind enemy lines because of the growth of our Eighth Route Army.

Our military pressure will only increase in the future.

We can't expect the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army on the front battlefield to have the courage to take the initiative to fight the Japanese devils to the death and recover lost territory, right?

Once the Japanese have secured the front battlefield, they can transfer all their elite troops to the enemy's rear at any time to concentrate on dealing with our Eighth Route Army.

From this perspective, the greater the damage we inflict on the Japanese in this anti-mopping-up operation, the longer it will take for them to regroup and recover their combat power, and the more time we will have for secret development.”

His final conclusion was:

"So we need to have a large-scale, real head-on confrontation to completely destroy the Japanese's military confidence.

We have to make the Japanese believe that even in a face-to-face decisive battle, our Eighth Route Army's elite iron triangle still has the strength to defeat the Japanese.

Then if the Japanese want to launch a large-scale sweep against our base again, they will have to consider whether they have the strength to do so.

Before we are thoroughly prepared, the Japanese will never dare to interfere with our Iron Triangle base.

This is exactly the absolute military effect we want to achieve.”

Looking at Kong Jie's clear and logical analysis of the entire situation, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei on the side seemed a little stunned, as if they were meeting Kong Jie for the first time.

In their original impression, although Lao Kong was never hesitant in killing the devils, he was the most disciplined person and always obeyed orders in battle.

It's better now.

This is the rhythm of wanting to create chaos in the world.

Even Ding Wei couldn't help but remind them: "The order from the headquarters is that we should launch layers of blocking and delay the Japanese to buy time for the transfer of supplies and the evacuation of various troops.

But Lao Kong heard that you meant to have a face-to-face confrontation with the main force of the 36th Division of the Japanese reinforcements?"

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Why, Ding Dada, are you still afraid?"

Ding Wei immediately replied: "I'm afraid? If I were afraid, I wouldn't be called Ding Wei. I'm mainly worried about whether your head is strong enough to withstand the bullets from the Military Court."

"Don't worry, the boss may not be willing to take my head!"

Kong Jie said it confidently. As for the reason, Ding Wei originally thought that he would say something like the army lacked military cadres and that he had made numerous military achievements.

Finally the words came to my lips.

Kong Jie just glanced at Li Yunlong and said with a smile: "Let's take a step back. Even if the boss really gets angry, isn't there someone with a bigger head to support him?"

"Do you think the boss will believe that this matter was initiated by me, Kong Jie, or by him, Li Yunlong?"

"After all, I am an honest man, and everyone knows this!"

Ding Wei: “…”

"..." Li Yunlong started cursing with a dark face.
