Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Guangyu was in a tough fight, and Liu Changshun's side was not fighting well either. Yang Zhen did not explicitly express his dissatisfaction with Liu Changshun's unit being unable to make greater progress.  [.Com text] But Yang Zhen informed Liu Changshun about the breakthrough progress made by Wang Guangyu.

    After receiving the information about Wang Guangyu¡¯s battle from Yang Zhen, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming looked at each other and knew that this was the commander¡¯s displeasure at his inability to make greater progress.  The two people who understood the meaning of the telegram sent by Yang Zhen could only smile silently at each other.

    It is impossible to say that the two of them are not working hard.  However, due to changes in the situation, the counterattack was carried out in advance.  The attack of the Second Brigade, which had just entered the designated position a few hours ago and had not had time to familiarize itself with the battlefield conditions, was actually a bit too hasty.

    In addition to the campaign information provided by the reconnaissance battalion on some key locations, such as the location of the 24th Division Regiment Headquarters.  The Second Brigade, which only had time to conduct partial tactical reconnaissance, did not know much about the situation facing the Japanese army.

    ¡°And except for a reinforced regiment on the southern front commanded by Ma Chunsheng to outflank the Japanese rear route, the actual strength of the Second Brigade that launched the attack on the Japanese flank was only one regiment with two battalions.  But its combat frontal width is more than twice that of Wang Guangyu.  Although the wide width dispersed the Japanese defensive forces, it undoubtedly also dispersed the offensive deployment of the first brigade.  Especially when the forces are almost equal and the attacking force does not have an absolute advantage.

    After the third brigade was temporarily adjusted and transferred to the front, the Japanese field troops in front of them had only one large group of field detachment troops, but the attached troops were miscellaneous and quite a lot in total.  The main force of the Engineer Regiment, most of the Troop Regiment, and the two squadrons of the Search Regiment.  The various troops combined totaled two to three thousand Japanese troops.

    Although this part of the Japanese army did not have many field troops, there was only one brigade.  However, although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese engineer regiment and baggage regiment at this time could not be compared with that of regular field infantry, in the Japanese army, which always focused on elite soldiers, the actual combat effectiveness of these non-combat troops was not weak.

    We must know that among the Japanese troops, which were in their heyday at this time, especially these regular field divisions, even the non-combat troops were quite powerful in actual combat effectiveness.  Its actual combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the infantry regiments with hundreds of divisions that the Japanese army cobbled together after the outbreak of the Pacific War.

    Many times, these non-combat troops, which are almost extremely powerful, are thrown into battle with insufficient strength, which often becomes the last straw for the Japanese army to crush its opponents.  The Japanese army has repeatedly used these non-combat troops as field infantry regiments to temporarily engage in battle after losing battles.

    With the addition of the search wing and the remnants of the field detachment, Liu Changshun had an absolute advantage in firepower, but he only had a slight advantage compared to the Japanese army's strength.  With the Japanese army's usual tenacious style and the fact that they were not familiar with the battlefield situation, it is not surprising that the battle was extremely difficult.

    In fact, neither Liu Changshun nor Wang Xiaoming expected that the 40th Regiment had a strong fighting capacity, and the engineers and heavy baggage troops of the 24th Division also fought extremely tenaciously.  Even in many cases, these non-combat troops under ordinary circumstances dare to carry bayonets and engage in hand-to-hand combat with attacking troops.  This caused the First Brigade Northern Front Group's attack to be extremely unsatisfactory.

    "But after receiving Yang Zhen's telegram, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiao made it clear that they did not defend themselves.  In fact, the progress of the war made them blush.  After several days of hard fighting, Wang Guangyu suffered heavy casualties and had few available troops. As the main force of the 40th Regiment, Wang Guangyu made greater progress than he faced a bunch of miscellaneous Japanese soldiers. This made the two of them simply unable to fight.  There is no defense.

    After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaoming said: "Old Liu, we can't continue fighting like this. It's about to dawn. If we continue fighting like this, we won't even be able to complete the first phase of the combat mission assigned by the headquarters before dawn.  I think it would be better to change the current tit-for-tat tactics with the Japanese army and concentrate our superior forces to attack this field detachment first.¡±

    "No matter how many troops the Japanese army participated in the war, and how strong their baggage troops and engineers were in combat, the main force was still the infantry brigade of the field detachment. Although the fighting will and quality of the Japanese miscellaneous soldiers were almost the same as those of the regular Japanese field regiments, they  There is still a certain gap in their tactical literacy.¡±

    "As the saying goes, there is specialization in Taoism. Although these Japanese soldiers have also undergone basic Japanese combat training, they cannot be equally proficient in tactical training. I just took a look. Although the Japanese engineers and baggage soldiers in front of us have no tactical movements.  Not bad, and the marksmanship is also very good. But the basic tactical coordination is still not comparable to that of the field detachment, and its equipment, especially the number of light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, is not large.¡±

    "I think we must first concentrate our forces to defeat the infantry brigade of this field detachment.Then, use one force to attack the heavy baggage troops and engineering troops and switch from offensive to defensive.  Concentrate elite troops to penetrate deep into them, striving to join up with the first brigade that has broken through the depth of the Japanese defense, and complete the division of the Japanese army.  "

    "When you are poor, you want to change. We are the only unit among the three brigades in the military region that currently have all three regiments at full strength. It is really unjustifiable that the battle is like this. It is time to change our tactics."

    In response to Wang Xiaoming's suggestion, Liu Changshun raised his head and looked at the already slightly brightening sky in the east. He gritted his teeth and called Wang Kaixiang, the commander of the 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment who was commanding at the front. He ignored the pleasantries and the first thing he said was:  I give you a reinforced battalion and attach it to a mortar company. How long will it take you to defeat the field detachment in front of you?  "

    Wang Kaixiang was slightly startled by Liu Changshun's question and then understood that this was a tactical adjustment the brigade commander had to make.  Wang Kaixiang thought for a while and then said: "Brigadier Commander, if you give me two hours, we can't defeat this field detachment's now incomplete brigade. I'll come here to see you. However, I have to bring our regiment's anti-aircraft machine guns with us."  "

    When Liu Changshun heard the guarantee he wanted from Wang Kaixiang's mouth, he said without ambiguity: "Okay. Just bring your old troops, the fourth regiment and one battalion, and I will reinforce my guard company for you. Two hours  , remember you only have two hours, that is to say, before dawn, even if you cannot completely eliminate this field detachment, you can at least defeat it to create conditions for the main force to follow up. "

    After listening to Liu Changshun's explanation, Wang Kaixiang nodded solemnly and said: "Brigade commander, political commissar, don't worry, if the battle cannot be resolved within two hours, I will not come back to see you. Our fourth regiment is the first regiment of our second brigade.  , I will never embarrass you.¡±

    Regarding Wang Kaixiang's rather unsuccessful words, Wang Xiaoming was quite dissatisfied and said: "What did you say? I tell you Wang Kaixiang, not only must you complete the mission, you must also come back alive. As a commander,  Don¡¯t always think about what to die for.¡±

    "You are a commander, and your responsibility is not to die in a grand and passionate way. It is to figure out how to achieve the greatest results with the least casualties. It is to lead your men to win, not to lead them.  Death. We are soldiers and we are not afraid of death, but we must not make unnecessary sacrifices."

    "It's not easy to train a cadre in the army, and it's even harder to train a senior commander. So you don't die lightly, you must live for me. If you can't adjust this mentality, I, the political commissar, can be withdrawn without the brigade commander's words.  You. If you can't position yourself correctly, let Huang Yao go. Is this what the commander taught you when you were in the training team? Have you learned all that knowledge?"

    Wang Kaixiang, who had been beaten, said with a smile: "Political Commissar, please don't be angry. I didn't say this to show off. Yes, in the words of the commander, is it called sensational? Don't worry, I will definitely do it in the smallest possible way."  casualties and achieve maximum results.¡±

    At this point, Wang Kaixiang's face became solemn again and said: "Brigade commander, political commissar, time waits for no one, I am going to fight. Do you two leaders have anything else to explain? Again, please rest assured.  Their first brigade is fighting well now, and our second brigade is not a loser."

    Liu Changshun shook his head and said nothing, but Wang Xiaoming felt that as a political commissar, he still had to say a few words of encouragement.  Wang Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "Okay, no need to hit the drum with a heavy hammer. I know that your fourth regiment has been secretly competing with the first brigade and regiment."

    "But it's no fun to compete on the training ground. Compete with your opponents on the battlefield to see who can perform better and eliminate more enemies. This is the true nature of a soldier. The commander often said something, which is called brave men who meet on a narrow road.  Win. Now it¡¯s up to you, the four groups, to take on the title of brave.¡±

    After listening to Wang Xiaoming's words, Wang Kaixiang nodded slightly, solemnly saluted his brigade commander and political commissar with a standard military salute, then turned around and went down to assemble the troops.

    Looking at Wang Kaixiang's back, Liu Changshun turned around and shouted to a combat staff officer: "Go and inform the artillery, don't feel bad about the shells. Even if you pile up the shells, you still have to blast a way for me in front of the field detachment. And also blow up the headquarters."  I will shoot out all the flares issued."

    After the combat staff quickly recorded Liu Changshun's order, when he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Wang Xiaoming.  After Wang Xiaoming hesitated for a moment, he said to Liu Changshun: "Should we ask the Second Battalion of the Fifth Regiment to cooperate from their flanks to at least disperse the firepower of this field detachment. And protect their flanks."

    "I took a look and found that we had not made much progress before. Not only was the resistance of the Japanese army too tenacious, exceeding our expectations. AndThe cooperation between the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment was not very tacit, and even felt a bit unfamiliar.  I suggest Huang Yao, the commander of the fifth regiment, not to go there and stay here to command the remaining troops of the fourth and fifth regiments.  The Second Battalion of the Fifth Regiment was placed under the unified command of Wang Kaixiang.  "

    Liu Changshun thought for a while and said to the staff officer: "Just follow the political commissar's wishes and order the Second Battalion of the Fifth Regiment to enter the battle from the right wing of Commander Wang. At the same time, let Huang Yao come over and take over Wang Kaixiang's original command position."

    After the staff officer left, Liu Changshun sighed and said: "Old Wang, no, I have to ask the commander and political commissar to get you back. Since you went to the first division, I feel like I have broken an arm. Old Wang  Ma was too careful and cautious. He didn't care about anything except military matters, and he rarely interfered in daily troop management.

    "Commander, I don't know what I'm thinking. You haven't assigned me a political commissar since you left. I'm really busy with the military and political affairs, and I'm not good at political affairs. Besides, if there is a new political commissar,  , their personalities are compatible. If you can¡¯t pee in a pot, what else can you do except quarrel?¡±

    "Our regiment has now been upgraded to a brigade. You, the political commissar of the military division, can be considered equal if you are transferred back. What's the point of that military division? It's just trivial things all day long. You'd better come back. I'll be the brigade commander and you will be the brigade commander.  Brigade political commissar. Let¡¯s continue working together.¡±

    "You don't know, I get angry when I see how proud Du Kaishan is. Doesn't he just have a good political commissar? I haven't had one before, or I just got transferred."

    In response to Liu Changshun's complaint, Wang Xiaoming shook his head and sighed: "Old Liu, you are now a brigade commander commanding tens of thousands of people, and you should be more mature. If this is based on the old Northeastern Army's establishment in the past, it is not realistic.  Military strength, you are at least a major general now. You can't always act according to your temper. It's time to mature and learn to adapt to changes in the situation. "

    "Whether I am willing to be transferred back and continue to partner with you, this is not just wishful thinking on our part. We must obey the overall situation. The adjustment and use of cadres by the headquarters must be based on the overall situation. The commander and political commissar cannot only care about  Your family. Three main brigades, three military divisions, tens of thousands of troops, everything is complicated, why do they only care about your feelings? "

    "Whether I come back or not, you must now learn to take charge of the overall situation, rather than just looking at the things in your bowl. A brigade commander must have a brigade commander's vision. The difference between a regiment commander and a brigade commander is not just that  In that word, there is not a slight difference in responsibilities between the two.¡±

    "No matter which country's establishment you are in, you are now considered a senior commander. But the regiment leader can only be considered a mid-level commander. You must adapt to your new identity, and your mind and vision should broaden as your position rises.  . In fact, we should all learn from the commander."

    "Since you know that Lao Ma is thinking too much, why don't you do his job? If you can't do it, you are stupid, can you go to the commander to help you communicate? Why don't you go? Since you dare to let Lao Ma go, why don't you want to go?  Untie his knot?"

    "The commander had a conversation with me when he temporarily transferred me from Division 1 to assist you. Originally, according to the headquarters' wishes, he did not want to upgrade the three main regiments so quickly. Because in addition to Brigadier Wang's special resume  , you and Lao Du have only been leaders for more than half a year and are still very immature."

    "But considering the battlefield command, we also considered that with the expansion and development of the army, the establishment will be expanded sooner or later. That's why the headquarters made a great determination to expand your three main regiments into brigades. He hopes that we, the brigade-level  Cadres should not let down the expectations of the headquarters, mature as soon as possible and fulfill their responsibilities. These words are not addressed to Brigadier Wang, who was the deputy army commander, but to you and me."

    Wang Xiaoming¡¯s words silenced Liu Changshun.  He listened to what Wang Xiaoming said today.  He also understood the meaning of the words.

    Looking at the dazzling trajectory of the artillery shells fired by Wang Kaixiang, who was covering the attack not far away, in the darkness before dawn, Liu Changshun was silent for a long time before saying: "Old Wang, I understand what you said. You  Don¡¯t worry, I will meet your expectations as soon as possible.¡±
