    In addition to leaving a battalion under the command of Du Kaishan to completely deal with the first brigade of the 17th Regiment of the Japanese Army on the Miaolingzi Mountain front line, Yang Zhen, who led the main force to the north bank of the Fasi River, did not receive any response after arriving at the north bank of the Fasi River.  He passed the command of Liu Changshun, but left a battalion and a regiment of troops to be commanded by Liu Changshun. He led the rest of the troops to cross the Fasi River from the enemy's flank on the north bank, and joined Guo Bingxun, who had already attacked the enemy's back on the south bank.  The final encirclement of the enemy on the south bank was completed.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    The reason why Yang Zhen did not take over Liu Changshun's command was because Yang Zhen consciously trained the actual command capabilities of several regiment leaders.  Although the position of regimental commander can only be regarded as a mid-level officer among commanders at all levels, its position is very important.  In the growth process of an officer, it plays a connecting role.  Only when you become a team leader can you be qualified for higher-level positions.

    With the exception of Wang Guangyu, who served as division commander, division political commissar and deputy army commander in the Anti-Japanese League, the other two regiment leaders, in the words of later generations, can be said to have been promoted by rocket.  Although the level has gone up, the experience is still lacking.  The reason why Yang Zhen handed over the command of Liu Changshun and Du Kaishan at the end of Miaolingzi Mountain and the battle on the north bank of the Fasi River was to train them intentionally.  It can also be regarded as a test for them.

    There is nothing good to say about the ability of those who are superior and those who are mediocre.  This is not a time of peace, and the ability is insufficient. It can be cultivated slowly the day after tomorrow.  Now is the time of war. On the battlefield, if you are not capable enough, you will lose not only your own life, but the lives of thousands of people.

    A mid- to senior-level officer is on a battlefield where life or death is inevitable. Even a small oversight may cause the failure of a battle or even a battle.  Therefore, Yang Zhen's attitude is obvious.  If you have the ability, go ahead.  I don't care if you are a prisoner of war or a member of the Anti-Japanese War, you will be treated equally when it comes to promotion.

    You don¡¯t have that ability, I don¡¯t care where you come from.  Please give me your seat and let someone with the ability do it. There is no room for negotiation.  These two small battles were just the first test for the two of them.  It depends on whether the two of them can seize this opportunity.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Considering that both of them were just promoted as group leaders.  Little experience in independent command of operations.  Therefore, Yang Zhen did not make this first test too difficult.  After the fierce attack on the Japanese army in Miaolingzi Mountain, the remaining strength was less than one squadron.

    Yang Zhen believed that he had left Du Kaishan with a full infantry battalion and a mountain artillery battery to deal with the Japanese troops who were trapped in a small area and whose strength had plummeted to less than a squadron.  With an absolute advantage in firepower and troops, even if it's not 100% sure, it should be more than enough.

    The Japanese army of the Second Battalion of the 17th Regiment, which was divided on the north bank of the Fasi River, was only an infantry squadron that was not full. Even if four infantry companies of the puppet Manchukuo army were added, it would be a full infantry regiment plus a mountain artillery.  Camp, if it can't be solved anymore.  Then Liu Changshun really lived up to his expectations.

    In order to train the two regiment commanders, Yang Zhen did not hesitate to leave the entire war on the north bank of the Fasi River to the two regiment commanders respectively, while he and Guo Bingxun took the rest of the overqualified troops to deal with the south bank of the Fasi River. At this moment, they paid a heavy price.  However, the effort failed, and the military strength has plummeted to more than one squadron of troops under the personal command of Takeshi Kawada.

    However, before forcefully crossing the Fasi River, something happened to Liu Changshun, which made Yang Zhen, who was originally very satisfied with his previous command, very angry.

    Looking at Liu Changshun who had something on his mind but did not dare to speak directly, Yang Zhen, who was about to lead a team to bypass the enemy's flank on the south bank, frowned and said, "Just say what you have to say, why are you hesitating?"

    Liu Changshun looked at Yang Zhen, hesitated for a moment, and handed Yang Zhen the telegram that Guo Bingxun had previously sent him, which ordered him to shoot the squad leader who had evacuated all the way to the north bank during the night attack last night. He hesitated and said:  "Isn't the chief of staff's punishment a bit too harsh? The squad leader was at fault, but it's a bit too unhuman to just shoot him if he says he will be shot."

    "This squad leader is the backbone trained by the old black top secret camp, and his previous performance was very good. Do you think we should give him another chance to make meritorious service for his crimes? This person's head is not cut from the grass. Once it is cut, it will never grow again.  came back."

    Yang Zhen took the telegram and read it carefully, and immediately understood the reason why Guo Bingxun wanted to shoot the squad leader, and his idea of ??using this squad leader to clean up battlefield discipline.

    Yang Zhen, who understood Guo Bingxun's thoughts, raised his head, looked at Liu Changshun and said seriously: "Have you not implemented the orders of the Chief of Staff? Did he come to you crying and bumping against the wooden clock, and you became soft-hearted and dared to even give the orders of the Chief of Staff?  No more execution?¡±

    Hearing Yang Zhen's stern tone, Liu Changshun was startled and said quickly: "Commander, I am not soft-hearted."??Only after receiving the telegram from the Chief of Staff and asking him the reason, I discussed it with the political commissar of our regiment and felt that it would be better to be more cautious.  After all, apart from this kind of thing, we can't all hit him.  He is just a monitor.  "

    Having said this, Liu Changshun looked at Yang Zhen's face again, swallowed hard and said: "Besides, this man is my old subordinate. He has been under my command since he joined the army at Weihe, and he has been with me again.  I escorted Deputy Chief of Staff Wang and met the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. It was not until the expansion of Qunce Mountain that I was transferred to the first regiment as squad leader. Even if he has no merit, he still has hard work, Commander.  Let¡¯s discuss it again?¡±

    Regarding Liu Changshun's plea, Yang Zhen frowned and said in a stern tone: "What are you discussing? I don't think there is anything wrong with the chief of staff's decision. Violations of battlefield discipline must be severely punished. Just follow the orders of the chief of staff and implement them immediately.  Shooting. Battlefield discipline is battlefield discipline, there is nothing negotiable.¡±

    After saying that, Yang Zhen felt that his tone was a bit too harsh, so he softened his tone and said: "There are too many recruits in the army who have not been trained for night combat, which affects the combat effectiveness to a certain extent. But this cannot be regarded as his  A reason to shirk responsibility. The recruit was not trained in night fighting, but he was a fully trained veteran."

    "During last night's night attack, although one of their platoons ran away during the retreat, why didn't the other squads withdraw to the north bank of the Fasi River in one go? How come his squad alone withdrew to the north bank of the Fasi River? Don't tell me about the terrain.  If you are not familiar with it, the chief of staff ordered them to withdraw from Miaolingzi Mountain to the south bank of Fasi River. Are you still unfamiliar with the terrain in this area? "

    "He is a squad leader who was promoted as a veteran and has participated in many battles. He doesn't even have this kind of judgment. Do you believe it when I say it? Don't you know what kind of training he received in Lao Heidingzi's secret camp?  He¡¯s not lost, he¡¯s deliberately timid.¡±

    "He was afraid that once the Japanese army moved all-out towards the Jianshanzi line, the only remaining battalion on the south bank of the river would not be able to withstand the fierce Japanese attack, and he would lose his life. He is not stupid, he is too smart. He is a squad leader, and he can actually do it  Thinking of this, to be honest, it is really rare. If this intelligence is used in the right way, he will be a good talent. It is a pity that he used his intelligence in the wrong place. "

    "Such a person will not cause any big problems when he becomes a squad leader. He will only bring bad luck to the squad. But once he is promoted to a higher level, he will bring fatal harm to the unit. We cannot let a mouse droppings ruin the whole team.  Pot soup. Such people must not be tolerated.¡±

    "Also, let me emphasize to you once again that when I am away, whether it is the political commissar or the chief of staff, their orders are my orders. Our army is a force commanded by the party and an armed force of the Chinese nation. It is not me  Yang Zhen is a one-man army, and I, Yang Zhen, am not a warlord."

    "If this situation occurs again in the future, whether it is you or the political commissar of your army, whoever fails to carry out the orders of his superiors will be punished. Once we withdraw to the end, we will never tolerate it. You are also a veteran trained by the party. You are a participant in  I have been a veteran of many battles. The first point of the three major disciplines is to obey orders and obey orders. "Where have you forgotten this?

    "Maybe he feels wronged, but battlefield discipline is battlefield discipline. Just because he is your old subordinate, you can't tolerate it. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. If there is a first person, there will be a second one.  One can sweep away ten, and ten can sweep away a hundred."

    "Such people must be severely punished. Military law must be as strong as a mountain. If we want to build an iron army, we must have iron military discipline. From now on, no matter who does not carry out orders, disobeys battlefield discipline, and is afraid of the enemy. He is the squad leader  Kill the squad leader, kill the company commander, including you, the commander, and all officers and soldiers will be treated equally."

    After Yang Zhen finished speaking, Liu Changshun burst into tears.  He had vaguely thought about what Yang Zhen said, but he just didn't dare to think about it.  When he was in the Eighteenth Army, he was just a junior officer, and it was not his turn to enforce battlefield discipline.

    ¡°And when he was captured, the Eighteenth Army had just completed its reorganization, and its backbone were basically veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles in the Long March.  Fight bravely and have a strong will.  Apart from mass discipline, battlefield discipline is basically rarely used.  So he was somewhat resistant to this way of enforcing battlefield discipline.

    In response to Liu Changshun's unbearable expression, Yang Zhen shook his head and patted his shoulder and said, "Go and execute it. Forgiving him this time is tantamount to a crime against the entire army. Only if he dies can more people be saved from committing similar crimes."  mistake."

    "Also, the war in Hebei will be left to you. I don't care how you fight, we must defeat the enemy here in the shortest possible time."The Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out cleanly and completely by me.  Also, remember, if the casualties you pay are too great, I won¡¯t be able to spare you.¡±

    When it came to the battle, Liu Changshun, who was still a little distracted just now, suddenly regained his energy and quickly stood at attention and said: "Commander, please rest assured, I will do my best to follow your request and conquer the North Bank in the shortest time and at the lowest cost."  The enemy will be wiped out cleanly and completely.¡±

    Regarding Liu Changshun¡¯s guarantee, Yang Zhen smiled and said nothing.  After looking at his watch, he waved his hand and set off with the troops.  Yang Zhen did not comment on Liu Changshun's guarantee.  Isn¡¯t there a saying that says whether a mule or a horse is a mule, you can only tell it by taking it out for a walk?  Ability cannot be expressed, it must be proven by performance on the battlefield.

    After leaving Liu Changshun, Yang Zhen did not delay at all. Under the cover of artillery fire on the north bank, he commanded the troops to defeat the blockade of a small Japanese army and forcefully crossed the Fasi River from the Japanese right wing.  Joining forces with Guo Bingxun, they completed the encirclement of the enemy on the south bank of the river.  After completing the encirclement, Yang Zhen immediately launched a general attack without pausing.

    When Colonel Kawada Takeshi received the news that a large number of armed forces appeared on the right wing and that he had been surrounded, he was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time.  Listening to the shouts of killing that filled the surrounding mountains and plains, Colonel Kawada Takeshi's command sword that he was waving just now fell down feebly.

    However, this Colonel Kawada Takeshi is steady and steady, but when it comes time to make a decision, he is not ambiguous at all.  After discovering that he was surrounded, he immediately made up his mind not to save the troops on the north bank of the river.  Gathering all the remaining intact infantry squads, a machine gun squad, and the last fully-equipped supply squad that could be gathered on hand, they turned around and headed toward Jiamusi along the Fasi River to break through with all their might.

    In order to rendezvous with the troops trapped on the north bank of the river, an infantry squadron and a baggage squadron commanded by Colonel Kawada Takeshi, who had plummeted from captain of the regiment to infantry captain, consumed a large amount of troops in six consecutive attacks.  part of the vitality.

    The only fully formed infantry squadron remaining on the south bank of the river was surrounded. Under the interception of a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars concentrated by the opponent, only one infantry squad remained intact.

    As for the three machine gun teams of the machine gun squadron, one team was surrounded on the north bank.  During last night's cold gun harassment, the equipment was reduced to parts.  At this moment, he only has a machine gun team and an ammunition team that are still intact.  As for the entire supply squadron, which was still fully staffed, there were only thirty people left and less than 30 people still had combat effectiveness.  The number of troops that Colonel Takeshi Kawada could muster to break out was limited.

    As for the wounded who were unable to move, he left them all behind to block the pursuers.  Moreover, each person was given an additional grenade, allowing them to serve the Emperor loyally after using up all the bullets on hand.  Not to mention the seriously wounded, even the lightly wounded were left behind by him.

    Kawada Yi¡¯s calculations were very precise. He knew that his opponents in the south would definitely deploy heavy troops to prevent him from joining the 24th Regiment on the Jianshanzi front line.  If you retreat to the west, except for the southwest, no matter which direction you are in, you will find the boundless primeval forest of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

    Nearly all of his food was burned last night.  According to the troops' current supplies, they might starve to death before leaving the virgin forest.  So he shrewdly chose the southeast direction for his breakout.  As long as he can break into the front line of Nanhua, he can get support from the Fourth Division stationed in Jiamusi.

    Colonel Takeshi Kawada¡¯s idea is good, but will Yang Zhen give him this opportunity?  In fact, Colonel Kawada Takeshi didn't know that if he chose to break out to the west at this moment, it might be his only chance.  Even if we head south with all our strength, there is still no chance at all.  But he chose to break out to the southeast.

    Yang Zhen was already prepared for this move.  After all, only the Japanese troops stationed in Jiamusi in the southeast can reinforce here as quickly as possible.  If the Japanese army chooses to break out, most of them will choose this direction.  Therefore, Yang Zhen deployed 70% of his firepower and nearly half of his troops in the southeast direction here.

    It can be said that things are changing.  During the Great Wall War of Resistance, the Seventeenth Regiment of the Eighth Division, which relied on its absolute superiority in firepower to bully the weak firepower of the Chinese Army, had a taste of being bullied this time.  What it feels like to be bullied.

    Colonel Kawada Takeshi, who was eager to break out of the encirclement, plunged headlong into a fire net composed of a large number of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and mountain cannons before he even got close to the encirclement.  An infantry squad that was responsible for the breakout mission and the ammunition squad of the machine gun squadron that had been converted into infantry were either blown into the sky by shells hitting them all over the place, or they were collectively beaten into a hornet's nest.

    And before the remaining machine gun team, which was responsible for fire support, had time to add up the heavy machine guns, it was discovered that they were sent to the west with mortars and guns.

    Kawada TakeshiIn his first breakout operation, apart from a few grenades fired from grenades, which caused some casualties to the blocking troops and blew up two light machine guns, he was defeated without even raising a larger wolf flower.  Pressed down.

    Seeing that the two infantry squads he was leading to break out of the encirclement went to the west together before they could even reach the encirclement. Colonel Kawada Takeshi, who knew that he might not be spared today, was also fierce.  After blowing up the radio station and killing his own operator, Colonel Takeshi Kawada raised his saber and launched a final frenzied attack with the last baggage team that followed him.

    Colonel Takeshi Kawada¡¯s death struggle failed to bring him a chance to shine.  As the last effective force of the Japanese army trapped on the south bank of the Faji River, the remaining thirty or so missing soldiers led by Colonel Takeshi Kawada
