"After the September 18th Incident, Japan accelerated its invasion of Northeast my country, but the Chinese people would not give in. The anti-Japanese struggle was raging in the Northeast. Different parties and groups took up guns and fought a life-and-death struggle against the Japanese invaders. , for a period of time, the Japanese troops occupying the Northeast were beaten everywhere and were extremely passive. In order to consolidate colonial rule and eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast, especially the anti-Japanese coalition forces that posed the greatest threat to them, the Japanese invaders summed up a set of rules through bloody lessons An effective method, among which they are proud of their experience in raiding Manchuria, is to divide their forces and attack together." In order to answer Zhang Ergou's question, Li Qinglin sat aside and talked.
"Divide the troops and attack together? What kind of strategy is this?" Xiao Liuzi asked.
This time, before Li Qinglin could speak, Liu Changda took the initiative to answer: "The Japanese invaders were sweeping the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Northeast because most of the Anti-Union troops were locals and they were familiar with the terrain, so the enemy's results were not good. After many years, After this setback, they summed up the so-called "Manchurian raiding experience", which is the so-called "split forces and attack together" strategy. This strategy is not very complicated, that is, if they need to sweep area A, the Japanese army will maintain a presence around area A. The troops maintain the stability of the occupied area, and then mobilize troops from area B, area C or even more areas to mop up area A that needs to be mopped up. Although these forces set out from different areas, the ultimate goal of each unit is the same, so that in If nothing unexpected happens, they will suddenly surround the opponents in the predetermined area to achieve their combat objectives."
"This is to advance with multiple fronts and attack at multiple points. Several troops set off from different locations with the same ultimate goal, but the targets being attacked are also mobile. They will never stay where they are and be beaten. Moreover, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly and requires continuous It is not easy to coordinate and cooperate in adjusting the marching routes of various troops and changing the direction of the troops' attack." Han Jizhong thought for a moment and said.
Liu Changda said: "The Japs' communications have far surpassed ours. Their small radio stations have been equipped to the squadron level, and have even been equipped to some teams with special tasks. Therefore, their communications are far better than ours." , the coordination of the various units is not a problem. On the other hand, on our side, because our radio communications can only be equipped at the detachment level, the communications at the brigade and squadron levels still rely on the communication corps. The Japanese's tactic of dividing forces and attacking together is exactly what our country has grasped Therefore, when local people are raiding local areas, our military commanders at all levels need to take the initiative. If they passively wait for orders from superiors before taking action, they will be passively beaten, and may even be annihilated."
After listening to Liu Changda's introduction about the division of troops and combined attack, Zhang Ergou said: "So, divided troops and combined attack are very powerful?"
Li Qinglin said seriously: "Don't regard the Japanese as fools. They are smart. This kind of tactics has really reached our weakness. Imagine for yourselves that people are attacking from several directions, and the troops are communicating with each other and keeping pace with each other." However, our communication is poor and our actions are lagging behind, so that each unit fights independently, and the victory or defeat is decided at the beginning of the battle."
??We are all those who lead troops to fight, and of course we are very clear about the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves described by Li Qinglin. After Li Qinglin finished speaking, everyone started smoking again, and the mood in the conference room began to feel low again.
Seeing that everyone seemed a little worried about the Japs' new tactics, Li Qinglin smiled softly and said: "We have been fighting the Japs for more than a day or two. We can always find a way to deal with them if the soldiers come to stop them and the water comes to cover them. Don't be bored, everyone. Well, use your brain and think of a solution."
Han Jizhong suddenly said: "I think we can change our thinking and draw lessons from the defeat of the Northeast Volunteer Army. Maybe we can find a way to deal with it."
Liu Changda slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "Yes, the Japanese have implemented the splitting of troops and combined attack in the Northeast several years ago. The people who are most familiar with this method of warfare are the volunteers in the Northeast."
But he sighed and continued: "There are not many volunteers in the Northeast now, and the Japanese's split-up attack seems to be really effective."
Li Qinglin smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, the Japs have basically stabilized the situation in the Northeast, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance is still active, which means that someone has cracked the strategy of dividing forces and attacking together. Starting from September 18th, someone in the Military Commission should be responsible for Conduct special research on Japan¡¯s strategic tactics. Send a message to the theater to ask and see if they can find some experience and lessons from the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance.¡±
Liu Changda nodded and agreed to Li Qinglin's arrangement.
Liang Xixian said: "No matter what tactics the devils use, they will definitely have a battle plan in advance and make preparations for action. We still strengthen intelligence work and strive to obtain accurate information beforehand."
Li Qinglin nodded and said:"Director Liang's suggestion is very good. I will remind our personnel behind enemy lines to be more vigilant and strive to obtain intelligence in advance."
Then, Li Qinglin raised his voice and said: "Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. The enemy will definitely formulate combat plans and combat objectives before the war, but the enemy's communication methods are more advanced than ours. They can change their combat deployment at any time during the march. This This is the advantage of their split-troops and joint-attack tactics. If the enemy really attacks, we will need to split our troops to break out when we can't communicate. We must not be surrounded by the enemy. I have a hunch that we will probably use Brigades or even squadrons will fight as a unit. At this time, your ability to control the troops and deal with the situation needs to be tested."
Liang Xixian suddenly said: "We now know that the enemy will change tactics. Presumably the Eighth Route Army has also got the news. According to normal circumstances, that's all we can do here. I don't know what measures the Eighth Route Army will take to deal with it. .¡±
Liang Xixian once personally participated in an ambush battle of the Eighth Route Army, and he has a deep understanding of the Eighth Route Army's flexible tactics. Even though he was criticized for the last time he teamed up with the Eighth Route Army to bomb a train, Liang Xixian still admired the Eighth Route Army's tactics, not to mention his He also has the responsibility of obtaining various intelligence on the Eighth Route Army. Maybe he can also obtain some information on the Eighth Route Army.
But Liang Xixian learned his lesson this time. He didn¡¯t want to be criticized again, so he raised the issue of the Eighth Route Army in another way. This time he hoped that others would bring up the "Operation of Serenity" to jointly fight against the Japanese with the Eighth Route Army.
Han Jizhong said: "Because it is difficult to enter their base area and the inspection is very strict, we don't know much about the Eighth Route Army. However, our people found some people around the enemy's stronghold. Some of these people are small traders, and some are Old people and children, through long-term observation and internal investigation, our personnel found that these people are likely to be spies from the Eighth Route Army, and they should be the ones monitoring the enemy's movements."
"It's a good idea to send people deep behind the enemy's rear and monitor them directly at the enemy's gate." Li Qinglin said.
Han Jizhong nodded and said: "That's true. These people are at the entrance of the enemy's stronghold or in the enemy's camp. As soon as the enemy makes any move, they will find it immediately."
Liang Xixian thought for a while and said: "Discovering the enemy's dynamics is the first step. It is more important to transmit the information back quickly and accurately. Their method of transmitting intelligence seems to be worse than ours, and we don't know how they did it."
Han Jizhong said: "As far as we know from various channels, they use a relay method to deliver the information. When the personnel at the stronghold gate receive the dispatched information, they immediately send the intelligence traffic personnel to deliver the information to the next village, and then the next one The traffic officer in the village continued to pass it to the next village until it was delivered to the Hu family shack."
Liang Xixian said: "It is completely transmitted manually, and we have to get ahead of the Japanese and puppet troops. This process is very complicated and difficult to do."
Han Jizhong nodded and said: "This method seems incredible to us, but it is very common on the Eighth Route Road. It is said that one time, in order to deliver urgent information, a militiaman who sent the information even ran away and vomited blood."
Liang Xixian was deeply moved and said: "The organization of the Eighth Route Army is stricter than ours, and their personnel are more dedicated than ours. These people are all local residents and have legitimate professions. I don't know what kind of ecstasy they have taken." , all of them are so unafraid of death."
Li Qinglin smiled and said: "There are no people in this world who are not afraid of death, but they all have their own beliefs. Sometimes, the power of beliefs makes people not care about life and death."
Liang Xixian believed deeply and said: "Our Central Command has been doing secret work for so many years, and we have a deep understanding of the power of their belief."
Having said this, Liang Xixian sighed and said, "We really don't have such people here who are not afraid of death."
The full name of the Central Committee is the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. Since its birth, it has taken the responsibility of investigating various political forces in the country. The CCP is naturally the biggest enemy in their eyes, so Liang Xixian also felt this.
Han Jizhong said: "Their method of on-site surveillance is indeed very effective, but it lags behind in terms of time. The intelligence we obtain from them is called intelligence, and we can predict the enemy's opportunities."
Liu Changda thought for a while and said: "At present, our common enemy is the Japanese. We and the Eighth Route Army have different intelligence work. In order to successfully overcome this difficulty, if the intelligence of the two armies can communicate with each other, then It could not be better."
Having said this, Liu Changda smiled and said to Liang Xixian: "Director Liang, you were the one who contacted me for the last joint operation, and we achieved great results. This time, I need to trouble you to go out in person. Let's talk to the friendly forces."Talk to see if we can work together again. "
Hearing that Liu Changda directly wanted to take the lead, Liang Xixian hurriedly said: "This is a military operation and an official matter of the ninth detachment. I have to follow the commander's arrangements."
In order not to cause trouble for himself anymore, Liang Xixian learned his lesson and did not dare to stand out this time. Instead, he kicked the ball directly to Li Qinglin. However, what Liang Xixian said is indeed correct. This is indeed the action of the ninth detachment. Li Qinglin is the highest officer of this unit. With Li Qinglin's order, Liang Xixian's actions are famous for their talents and will not be criticized by his superiors in the future.
Li Qinglin smiled and said: "Everyone thinks that we need to contact the Eighth Route Army. I think it is right to contact them. Let's do this, Director Liang, let's talk to the Eighth Route Army tomorrow and see how we compare with them. Is it possible to work together again?"
