Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After hearing Yang Zhen give them the combat order, Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi felt a little calmer. Since the commander still asked him to lead the troops in combat, he had no intention of dealing with him harshly and still believed in them.  ¡¾.Com Text¡¿Otherwise, at such an important time, the two of you would continue to lead the troops in battle?

    Looking at the two people who were slightly relieved after hearing his order, Yang Zhen did not explain too much.  After just looking at his watch, he said to the two men: "You go and familiarize yourself with the troops immediately. It is now six o'clock in the evening. I want to hear you start the battle on time at midnight."

    "But one thing you must remember is that you must try to avoid heavy casualties. Compared with the main battlefield this time, in addition to ensuring the safety of the main battlefield, more emphasis is placed on troop training. Let those who have not been there yet  The new recruits on the battlefield need to familiarize themselves with the battlefield atmosphere. In a word, they must find ways to destroy the enemy, but they must also pay attention to protecting themselves. "

    After Yang Zhen¡¯s order was given, the two people looked at each other and did not dare to delay. After a hurried military salute, they hurriedly followed Yang Zhen¡¯s order to familiarize themselves with the troops.  Strange troops, strange battlefields, and strange opponents can be said to be a great test for both people.

    Looking at the background of the two people leaving in a hurry, Yang Zhen shook his head.  The two hungry men were already staggering around. They had not eaten for two days, and all their heavy weapons had been lost. In fact, they were without food and ammunition. Apart from relying on the ammunition carried by the soldiers themselves, the Japanese brigade had no supplies. It was just right for them to return the goods.  Let the rookies who have never been on the battlefield practice their skills and let them know what a real battlefield is.

    And this battle will temper not only the troops, but also the cadres.  The leaders of the supplementary regiments formed by Yang Zhen's headquarters have never been fixed, and are usually randomly selected from battalion-level cadres.  This is to allow all cadres to have the opportunity and experience to train, command, and manage regiment-level troops in order to prepare for future promotions.

    The army is expanding too quickly, and the army has gradually shifted from guerrilla warfare to mobile warfare. Cadres at all levels in the army have obviously shown a lack of experience.  Currently, less than one-third of the commanders of the three brigades and nine regiments in the main force are competent.  There is a serious lack of experience in independent command operations and extremely heavy reliance on superior command during operations.

    These regiment commanders were even company commanders at the beginning of the year.  Most of the battalion-level cadres are just platoon leaders.  It took more than half a year to be promoted from company platoon leader to regiment and battalion level cadres, but there was a huge lack of experience and ability.  Although Yang Zhen established a three-level teaching team, not all the experience of leading troops can be learned in the classroom.

    ¡°And what troubles Yang Zhen the most is not only the lack of teachers, teaching materials and everything else, but also the cultural quality of cadres. Many of these cadres cannot read a single Chinese character.  Those who came out of Lao Heidingzi's secret camp were even better. In any case, the three months of hard work were not in vain. I won't say whether these people are good or not, but they still have a solid theoretical foundation.

    The theories of the cadres who came out of Lao Heidingzi¡¯s secret camp can be said to be barely passable, but those who came from the Anti-Japanese League are much worse.  Although in recent years, in order to train cadres, the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance has tried its best to set up many study classes and teaching teams.  However, due to the huge casualties in the continuous battles, cadres were trained in batches and sacrificed in batches.

    And various teaching teams often have to be terminated due to changes in the environment.  There were even several incidents in which the entire training team, from instructors to trainees, was attacked by Japanese and puppet troops during training.  The more severe the situation, the greater the sacrifices of the troops, and the greater the decline in the quality of cadres.

    There is only one Seventh Army, but from last autumn to the beginning of spring, there were almost two changes of grassroots cadres.  Except for a few who defected, most of them died.  The Seventh Army's training team was attacked last winter, and all the students, from the teaching captain to all the students, were killed, which dealt a nearly despairing blow to the Seventh Army.

    Although there are not many people, there are only more than thirty people.  But these thirty people are almost the entire backbone and essence of the Seventh Army.  This battle almost broke the backbone of the Seventh Army.  After this battle, the Seventh Army, which had lost almost all its backbones, was unable to counterattack in the face of the massive attack by the Japanese and puppet troops.  He can only hide in the deep mountains and old forests and be beaten passively.

    The situation of the Seventh Army is better than that of the Fifth Army, which has almost lost its main force.  From the failure of the Western Expedition to covering the breakout of the Second Route Army headquarters.  From the anti-Qing campaign to the southward attraction of the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops, opportunities were created for the transfer of the Second Route Army headquarters.  The Five Armies, which hardly fought a day without fighting, suffered huge attrition.  The troops have been almost dispersed and depleted, and there is no energy left to train grassroots cadres?

    In both armies, many people are still soldiers who have only been in the army for a few days. There are almost many examples of being promoted to company commanders within a week.  Given the severe situation and the inability to train these cadres, one can imagine the military and political quality of these grassroots cadres.

    These cadres not only have low cultural level, but also have low military qualityNot high quality.  And he is extremely unsuitable to the training and organization methods of Yang Zhen's troops.  Compared with the large-scale mobile warfare conducted by Yang Zhen's troops, they were more adapted to the original dispersed guerrilla tactics.

    Without the winter training at Lao Heidingzi¡¯s secret camp, and without the backbone trained at that time, let alone the current size of the army, which has grown to several thousand people, Yang Zhen would not even be able to find a sufficient number of grassroots personnel.  cadre.  Not to mention the quality of cadres.

    Before the central delegation left, Mr. Lin praised Yang Zhen more than once for his long-term vision and foresight when talking to the new leadership team of the Jidong Military Region.  If he hadn't gone against all odds and trained the soldiers as squad leaders and the squad leaders as company and platoon leaders in Lao Heidingzi's secret camp, it would have been impossible to create the current situation.

    However, despite Yang Zhen¡¯s painstaking efforts, the situation of cadre shortage has not changed.  Not only are the company and platoon cadres who are on the front line the most casualties, but also the cadres at the battalion and regiment levels have also experienced shortages after the expansion of the army, especially low quality and lack of experience in leading troops.

    In desperation, Yang Zhen formulated such a rule that seemed extremely strange to outsiders.  Before promotion, all regiment battalion commanders, regiment political commissars, and battalion political instructors must go to the supplementary regiment and now the independent regiment to lead new recruits for at least one month.  Those who fail the assessment will not be promoted.

    Although this provision is somewhat puzzling, it at least allows these regiment and battalion commanders to gain some experience in commanding and managing their own unit before leaving the army.  After all, after they enter the main force, they will have to go to the battlefield at any time.  I'm afraid there won't be much time left for them to adapt after entering the army.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s rule is very strange, and many outsiders cannot understand it.  But now, it has played a role that many people could not imagine.  At least these regiment and battalion cadres can adapt to their new positions in the shortest time after leaving the army.  The leaders of the supplementary regiment and the independent regiment that he brought now were two battalion commanders who were ready to be promoted to the regiment's chief of staff and the other were to be promoted to deputy regimental commanders.

    Although these two battalion commanders are old backbones from Lao Heidingzi¡¯s secret camp, they have no experience in independent command operations.  After an afternoon of not intense fighting, Yang Zhen was exhausted physically and mentally.

    ¡°Perhaps it was because of the intense fighting under the direct command of Yang Zhen, the highest commander, or perhaps it was the first time that he was independently commanding a regiment-level operation and he couldn¡¯t let go.  In Xiao Huzi's words, it was almost a big deal, and he even had to ask for permission to move his attack position.

    In addition to the battalion commander transferred from the second brigade, he can also help him support a small part of the things.  These trivial things almost exhausted Yang Zhen.

    Half of his energy is devoted to dealing with these matters, and he doesn't have much time to think about combat matters.  If it wasn't for his self-cultivation, and if he wasn't confident about the commanding abilities of these two men, Yang Zhen almost got angry and scolded his captain on the phone several times. These two leaders only bothered him with trivial matters.  .

    When Yang Zhen was fighting, he didn't like this method very much.  He never restricted the thinking of his subordinates, and even encouraged his subordinates to have creative ideas in battle.  He hopes that there will be more people like Du Kaishan in his army.  He was disgusted by the rigid way of asking for instructions and reporting on things like this.  Especially after this battle, he was even more disgusted.

    Now Yang Zhen is very lucky that his opponent is an army that is almost starving and has run out of ammunition and food.  Otherwise, not counting the other units of the Japanese army, the 22nd Regiment alone would be able to defeat the two inexperienced regiment commanders with just one charge as long as they were allowed to recover.  The front line was in disarray.

    This time, Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi were transferred back to the headquarters by themselves, and they were asked to take command separately. First, they also exercised their commanding abilities in frontal combat.  After all, with the army's senior commanders in short supply, these two can't be idle, right?  Second, it also relieves some pressure on yourself, at least you don't have to worry about these trivial things.

    Sure enough, after the two men left the army respectively, Yang Zhen's calls for instructions suddenly decreased a lot.  Although he has changed his previous cautious style, fortunately, the questions asked for instructions are only classified into some relatively important matters, and Yang Zhen no longer bothers Yang Zhen with such big things as before.

    With Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi taking over his place, Yang Zhen, who was suddenly much cleaner, focused more on the frontal battlefield of General Shixian.  Guo Bingxun telegraphed the battle status of General Shixian to Yang Zhen every hour, so Yang Zhen knew the battle situation there very well.

    When Yang Zhen received a telegram from Guo Bingxun requesting instructions on the time to launch a general offensive at 10 midnight, Yang Zhen hesitated and justHe sent a brief reply: "General Shi Xian will decide when to launch a general offensive and how to deploy the attacking troops. Chief of Staff Guo and the commanders of each department can jointly decide."

    " Guo Bingxun, who was on the front line of Jiangjunshi, received Yang Zhen's call back, smiled slightly, and handed the telegram to Wang Guangyu, Liu Changshun, Wang Ruming, Ma Chunsheng, and Ma Qichang to circulate it.  After everyone read the telegram, Guo Bingxun looked at the solemn expressions of several people and said: "We can make a decision now."

    After that, Guo Bingxun took out the Swiss pocket watch that Yang Zhen had given him after he had captured it in Jiamusi. After checking the time, he faced several brigade commanders who were waiting for his orders and said: "It's ten o'clock sharp now. Fifteen minutes later,  That is to say, at exactly 10:15, all units launched the final general attack on the remaining Japanese troops in front of them according to their scheduled combat arrangements."

    "When each unit launches an attack, they must boldly intersperse according to the predetermined battle plan, and must ensure that the enemy in front of them is surrounded and annihilated. All the 40th Regiment of the Japanese Army in front of them must be wiped out cleanly and thoroughly in the shortest possible time.  Clean. Completely turn around the situation in Xiajiang.¡±

    Hearing Guo Bingxun's clean and tidy order, Liu Changshun, Wang Xiaoming, and Ma Chunsheng, who were the main attacking force, stood at attention and saluted: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured that our Second Brigade will definitely live up to the expectations of the head of the headquarters. We will completely defeat the Fourth Brigade within the scheduled time."  All the remaining troops of the Tenth Regiment were completely wiped out."

    After saying that, Liu Changshun, the military commander of the Second Brigade, looked at Guo Bingxun and said: "Chief of Staff, time is running out. We are about to go to war with the entire army. Do you have anything else to explain?"

    Looking at the serious faces of the three military and political officers of the Second Brigade, Guo Bingxun waved his hand and said: "I have nothing to explain. Just let go and fight. Don't have too many scruples.  . Just remember what the commander said, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road.¡±

    After Guo Bingxun finished speaking, Liu Changshun, his political commissar and chief of staff nodded solemnly. After saluting, they turned around and quickly left Guo Bingxun's headquarters and rushed back to the front line.

    Looking at the backs of several people, Guo Bingxun turned his head and looked at Wang Guangyu, who seemed a little disappointed because his unit had been replaced by the Second Brigade.  Pointing at his chest, he said: "What? Is it because you paid such a high price to create a great fighter opportunity, but the final recipient feels a little uncomfortable?"

    After that, Guo Bingxun looked at Wang Guangyu, who was blushing slightly because he had hit his mark, and said with a smile: "It's normal to feel uncomfortable. If you feel comfortable, then there is a real ghost.  If you were picked off by someone else, you don¡¯t have such a big heart, and I wouldn¡¯t have it either.¡±

    "But fighting a complex chess game is a whole. Some people are destined to eat meat, and some are destined to chew bones. If everyone wants to eat meat and not eat bones, then there will be no way to fight this battle. You are in the original  I have served as division commander, political commissar, and deputy commander of the Second Route Army for many years. I won¡¯t say these things, but you should understand.¡±

    "Be more open-minded and have a long-term vision. Among the three brigade commanders and three military division commanders in the military region, you and Du Kaishan may go the furthest. Although you are only one now  Brigadier, but your vision cannot be limited to the position of brigade commander."

    "The difference between a marshal and a general is not only in the words and the size of the power. As a senior commander, you must have a mind that is open to all rivers. The commander asked me to tell you something: to be open to all rivers, tolerance makes you big; to stand tall and tall, to have no desire is to be strong.  . This is the motto he gave you. And these words today are what the commander asked me to take the time to talk to you. He hopes that you can become a handsome man, not a general.  Experience it.¡±
