    After Guo Bingxun's words fell, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "The chief of staff is right, these are things we must improve. [.Com text] However, not only these, there are others, even in the future  It was a fatal flaw in the battle, but the chief of staff did not mention it."

    Yang Zhen glanced at Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu who were immersed in recording, sighed and said: "To be honest, in this attack, except for the two battles between Wei'an Mountain and Weihe County, we did not take much advantage.  . Even in the last battle, we defeated two groups of Japanese and puppet troops. Rather than saying that we were strong in combat or our command was good, it was more that we were lucky. "

    "If the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked in three directions in the first battle had resolutely implemented their step-by-step tactics and squeezed us into their preset ambush circle step by step, you can think about it and wait for us under the circumstances at that time.  What will it be?¡±

    "Although I don't know why the Japanese and puppet troops in the middle of the three routes went against the rules and advanced alone when the other two Japanese and puppet troops adopted step-by-step tactics when they did not have an absolute advantage in strength, but they did so  But it gives us the opportunity to change our environment.¡±

    "If the Japanese and puppet troops hadn't advanced alone in the middle, with our combat effectiveness at the time, as well as the absolute disadvantages in terms of troops, equipment and even training, to be honest, I don't know what I would have done? In the third route?  With the advantage of the Japanese and puppet troops' constant squeeze, and without any situation along the way, even if we know that there is a ghost among them, we may have no choice but to bite the bullet and sneak into the enemy's ambush. "

    "Fortunately, we seized this opportunity to risk our lives and adopted roundabout tactics. We attacked from the flanks and took advantage of the opportunity for the Japanese and puppet troops to devote all their strength to the attack. We defeated the Japanese and puppet troops in the center in one fell swoop and reversed the situation.  situation.

    "We also took advantage of the fact that the Japanese and puppet troops in the middle route were defeated and the other two Japanese and puppet troops were eager to close the encirclement. We used mobile ambush to continuously defeat one of them, completely turning the tide of the battle. So I say that we can achieve a victory zone in continuous operations.  There is quite a lot of luck, not that our combat effectiveness actually exceeds that of the Japanese and puppet troops.¡±

    "Through two consecutive battles, it was revealed that our training needs to be greatly strengthened. The Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang commanded two fully-equipped infantry companies, taking advantage of the terrain and not being at a disadvantage in local firepower.  Although the Japanese and puppet troops were held back for four hours, they paid the price with casualties."

    "This is not because there is a fault in your command, but that the training of the troops does need to be strengthened. Your command of these two blocking battles was completely in accordance with the prior deployment, and the command was quite satisfactory. I did not feel that it was  What mistakes were made? Why did we pay so many casualties when there was no problem with the command? That only shows that our troops still have problems with their training, and at least their basic skills are not solid."

    "During the battle, most of our soldiers' tactical movements were not in place and they could not avoid artillery fire. The shooting was sloppy and the ammunition was wasted seriously. The team's tactical coordination ability was poor, and the grassroots commanders did not command in place. Many even did not even have basic skills.  We don¡¯t know how to repair the fortifications and only use natural bunkers. This is our fatal flaw. It doesn¡¯t seem to be a big deal at ordinary times, but on the battlefield, it is fatal. "

    "As the chief of staff said, two heavy machine guns, with relatively sufficient ammunition, cannot suppress the Japanese's one light machine gun. What does this mean? It only shows that we still have serious deficiencies in training.  "

    "We can't use the excuse that most fighters have only received one and a half months of training before going out. Some people will say that it is not bad to be able to reach this point after only one and a half months of training. I say, this is  We are seriously irresponsible for the lives of soldiers. As commanders, we have the right to order soldiers to die, but we have no right to order soldiers to die in vain."

    "I have decided that from now until the spring of next year, as long as the Japanese do not discover that we are hiding here and do not launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against us, we will not have any combat missions and will spend all our time training."

    "We have obtained a large amount of food from Weihe County, and now we have enough reserves on hand to last for half a year. With these food reserves and a sufficient amount of winter clothing, we do not have to go out into the mountains except for sending a small number of reconnaissance personnel."

    "I said that I want to build an invincible iron army, not an army built on the beach and made of sand that can be swept away by a big wolf. I have to repeat this sentence now.  Not only should I repeat it, but I should also add a sentence: Only by sweating more in peacetime can you bleed less in wartime."

    After Yang Zhen finished speaking, several people were a little stunned by his decision.  It's already October, and there are still nearly four months until spring next year.  That is?Yang Zhen made this decision to spend a full half a year training, which was almost unbelievable for the Anti-Japanese Alliance who were under siege and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops all day long, and marching and fighting had become commonplace in the past year.

    Looking at the few people who were staring at him dumbfounded, Yang Zhen sighed softly and said: "It's not because of me, and it's not because I passively hide from the fight. In fact, this is also an inevitable choice under desperation. Do you still remember that Li Mingrui was the one behind the Wei River?  That military column that was blown up in the east? That military column was carrying the Japanese Fourth Division that had just arrived in the Northeast."

    "Don't think that this is a normal rotation of the Japanese army, but that the Japanese army is adding troops to the Kwantung Army. What kind of force is the Fourth Division of the Japanese army? It is the first batch of Type A troops formed after the Meiji Restoration and the establishment of a new type of army imitating Europe and the United States.  The division¡¯s personnel and weapons and equipment are definitely elite.¡±

    "Now the little devils are launching a full-scale war of aggression against China. Elite old divisions like the Second and Fourth Divisions are not transferred into the pass to participate in the war, but are placed in the relatively peaceful Northeast. However, under the fierce fighting situation in the pass  , would rather form a new group of ad hoc divisions, don¡¯t you think this is strange?¡±

    "Actually, it's strange, but it's not surprising at all. Since the little devils launched the all-out war of aggression against China, the strategic status of Northeast China as its main resource, especially the source of coal and iron ore, has been increasingly improved. It can be said that there is no such thing as Northeast China.  Now with seemingly free resources, the little devils simply cannot afford to fight a war of aggression against China.¡±

    "In order to protect the Northeast, its industry, especially the main supplier of most of the strategic resources needed by the army, and the dumping ground for goods, when it launches a full-scale war of aggression against China, the little devils will not fail to mobilize heavy troops."

    "Long before the September 18th Incident, the Japs, especially the military, had long declared that the so-called Manchuria and Mongolia were Japan's lifeline. This was true during peacetime, and the strategic position of Northeast China during the current war is even more important."

    "This year, the little devils not only added military establishments under the Kwantung Army, but also continued to expand its troops. Compared with last year, the strength of the Kwantung Army has almost doubled in less than a year. It is under the jurisdiction of  The number of divisions has expanded from five divisions at the end of last year to eight now, and it is still expanding its strength."

    "Unlike the Kwantung Dispatch Army, which is constantly forming new divisions, almost all of the newly transferred Kwantung Army divisions are veteran Japanese Class A divisions. Neither their combat effectiveness nor equipment are those of ad hoc divisions or hybrids.  The tour group is comparable.¡±

    "With the continuous expansion of its Kwantung Army, the situation we will face in the future will be more severe. Because we have to face not only the expanding Japanese Kwantung Army, but also more than 100,000 puppet Manchu troops, as well as a large number of what they call  They are some miscellaneous police forces such as the forest police, railway guard police, and so-called self-defense groups. The combat effectiveness of these puppet troops, especially the elite ones, is moderate even when compared with the Japanese."

    "During the battle of the Jingan Army, the reason why I refused was not only because the troops were extremely tired from continuous fighting and the ammunition they carried had been consumed. The most critical reason was also the combat effectiveness of the Jingan Army itself."

    "Although the Jingan Army has fallen into chaos under the sudden artillery attack of our army. But this chaos is only relative. Although its main battle formation has been chaotic to a certain extent, it is chaotic and not collapsed.  , the combat effectiveness has not been completely lost. Under this situation, once our army escapes from the artillery cover, it is likely to be entangled by it, and it will be a powerful opponent for us. "

    "The number of the Japanese and puppet troops is constantly expanding, and their weapons and equipment are even more difficult for us to match. But our combat effectiveness is incomparable. Not to mention the Japanese army, even the elite puppet Manchukuo army, we are far inferior. The difference in numbers  It¡¯s too big. If the quality is far inferior to that of humans, I can¡¯t think of what our outcome would be other than being eaten by the Japanese and puppet troops.¡±

    "In the current increasingly severe situation, the combat effectiveness of our troops must undergo a qualitative change. Only by destroying the enemy can we preserve ourselves. If we cannot destroy the devils and protect ourselves on the battlefield, we will be defeated instead.  After the Japanese are eliminated, what else can we say about saving China and liberating the entire Northeast?¡±

    "We not only try our best to gain time to train the troops, but also select a group of cadres with excellent work style and brave combat to form a group of troops. Once the opportunity arises, we can expand the troops as quickly as possible. The situation we will face  It will become more and more severe, and we can¡¯t do it without expanding our troops.¡±

    "Not only that, we followed the original plan to train all squad leaders as cadres, and soldiers as squad leaders. We not only want to train the current troops into a force with a tenacious style and excellent military skills, but also train them  As a skeleton for future expansion, once fleshed out, it can immediately form combat effectiveness."

      Having said this, Yang Zhen opened the map and said: "We are now in the depths of the primeval forest of Zhangguangcai Ridge. The mountains are high and the terrain is extremely complex. There are cliffs, deep valleys and steep slopes. It is the most prominent mountain in Heilongjiang.  The mountains are steep. And we are surrounded by virgin forests that cover the sky and the sun, and it is basically deserted.¡±

    "This place is connected to Laoye Ridge and Wanda Mountain to the east, and to the Changbai Mountain to the south. You can advance and attack, retreat and defend. Although supplies are difficult, the advantage is that the terrain is concealed. Moreover, we have enough food in hand to last for half a year, and enough ammunition for training  As long as it takes three to five months, I will be confident to train an iron army."

    After Yang Zhen finished speaking, everyone except Guo Bingxun, Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu fell into deep thought.  Guo Bingxun has a military background and returned from studying abroad. He is not very sensitive to the political situation.  He still agreed with Yang Zhen's proposal to suspend the deployment and strive for three to five months for training.

    But for people like Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu, who were former Anti-Japanese cadres, hiding in the mountains and forests, with no information from the outside world, and having no idea about the situation of the Anti-Japanese League, it was unacceptable no matter what.

    Especially now that the Japanese and puppet troops are mobilizing a large number of troops to carry out a large-scale clean-up in the Xiajiang area, the main area of ??activity of the Anti-League, it is really difficult for them to accept that they have hid in the mountains and old forests and cut off contact with the headquarters.

    Although they also know that Yang Zhen¡¯s consecutive battles, even if he cannot bring back all the Japanese and puppet troops concentrated in the Xiajiang area, at least they will attract some of their troops to return.  Although it cannot completely improve the predicament of the Anti-League, it will at least greatly reduce the pressure on the Anti-League.  But if he withdrew like this and disappeared without a trace, would the Japanese army once again fight against the heavy alliance troops pressing the border?

    Perhaps seeing the hesitation of Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu, Yang Zhen shook his head but said nothing.  He had read information in later generations. In the winter of 1938, although the Anti-Japanese War was difficult, their vitality was severely damaged, and most of them lost their combat effectiveness, the main force persisted through strategic shifts.

    The most difficult moment faced by the Anti-Japanese Alliance was in 1939.  It was also this year that the Second and Third Route Army of the Anti-Union Army operating in Northern Manchuria failed one after another. The First Army suffered heavy losses, and the remaining remnants of each unit were forced to retreat into the Soviet Union.

    Although Yang Zhen did not know very clearly about the cruelty of the environment that the Anti-Japanese Alliance would face in this coming winter, he also saw a lot of information in later generations.  But Yang Zhen knew that letting a unit that lacked training, suffered a lot of casualties in the previous actual combat, and had little guerrilla experience continue to fight would only bring disaster to others.

    Just looking at Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu who looked a little worried, Yang Zhen hesitated for a while and said: "In this way, political commissar and Lao Wang, you can select a few capable and reliable personnel from the original Fourth Army troops and lead them.  A capable team will take a radio and go to the Xiajiang area to find the commander-in-chief. If they are found, they will bring him and the commander-in-chief here to rest. "

    If the commander-in-chief refuses to come and insists on staying in the Xiajiang area, then we will communicate with each other through the radio.  Once the Second Route Army needs us to attack, how about we go all out to rescue?  But now, we need to rest and train.  "

    When Li Yanping heard the decision made by Yang Zhen, he was silent for a while and then said with a wry smile: "Commander, you can make this determination. On behalf of the commander-in-chief, I would like to express my gratitude to you. I am just asking the commander-in-chief to come to Ning'an to rest. I'm afraid the plan  impossible.

    "Don't talk about others, even if I go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the commander-in-chief. The Anti-Alliance Second Route Army is not only a Fourth Army, but also has other troops. The Fourth Army was completely destroyed during the Western Expedition, but the Fifth Army rushed  Get out. Moreover, we still have troops left behind in the Xiajiang area. The three most powerful divisions of the Fifth Army are still active in the Xiajiang area. They are still fighting in the Xiajiang area, and the commander-in-chief will not come.  here."

    "None of the anti-alliance armies have radio stations, and they mainly rely on traffic officers to communicate with each other. Ning'an is still far away from the activities of the Second Route Army, and it is difficult for the commander-in-chief to command the rest of the Second Route Army here. As long as other troops  If you persist for one more day, the Commander-in-Chief will not come."

    After listening to Li Yanping¡¯s words, Yang Zhen shook his head and didn¡¯t speak for a long time.  After a long time, Yang Zhencai said: "Then we have to go, and not only do we have to go, but we also need to select the best operators. Even if the commander-in-chief cannot come, with the radio as a means of communication, it will be convenient for us to cooperate with each other.  many."

    Yang Zhen finished speaking and when Li Yanping was about to answer, the wooden door of the temporary conference room was suddenly opened. Li Mingrui, who was on guard outside the conference room, interrupted the conversation with a report:  "Commander, political commissar, a few Japanese planes came from the sky just now. I don't know if they have discovered something. They have been hovering above us. For safety's sake, you'd better come out and take cover."Read ads-free, full-text, error-free novels, .Com text, your best choice!
