    Although Yang Zhen's seemingly grand immigration plan surprised both Li Yanping and Gao Yumin, they both fell silent when they thought that the reasons he said were not unfounded.

    Since the September 18th Incident, these two people, who have experienced many years of guerrilla warfare, are no strangers to the massacre of people in the anti-alliance guerrilla zones by the Japanese army. They have even experienced it and seen it with their own eyes.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    Under the current situation, although it will initially seem difficult to move all the people in the confrontation area north of the Songhua River and into the base area, it is undoubtedly a means of protection for these people.  At least these people can be protected from the devastation of the war and the massacre by the Japanese army.

    ¡° If Yang Zhen¡¯s plan is really implemented according to his vision, then training these soldiers of the right age among the people who migrated north does require a capable manpower, and it must be implemented by manpower who have experienced frontal mobile warfare.  In this way, he will know the strengths and weaknesses of the troops in combat, and can adopt corresponding methods to train these potential reserve soldiers.

    Yang Zhen is right. Liu Changshun's character is a little too forward-thinking and lacks flexibility.  It is very suitable to be transferred to the commander of the Production and Construction Corps, which has actually become the largest reserve soldier base in the entire Jidong Military Region.

    As for the issue of reserve soldiers mentioned by Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, who was worried that excessive recruitment would affect the base area itself, had indeed opposed it before.  And his attitude is very firm, because in his opinion, it is undoubtedly killing the goose that lays the egg.  After all the men of working age in the base area were recruited into the army and the main labor force was lost, who would plant the land?  If the land is not cultivated, what will the people and the army in the base area eat?

    Because he was worried that Yang Zhen would over-expand his troops and fish in dry swamps, it would affect the people's livelihood in the base area.  After Li Yanping discussed the troop expansion with Yang Zhen that night, he took time to carefully examine the population information of Sanjiang Province of the puppet Manchuria captured in Jiamusi.

    After concluding that after occupying the areas along the Jiamusi, Huanan, Baoqing, Boli, and Yilan rivers in Sanjiang Province where the main population is concentrated, the population base in the base area has greatly exceeded one's expectations.  Including the original population of the base area, now that the actual controlled population has reached millions, there is no longer any objection to its expansion plan.

    In Li Yanping¡¯s view, the population in the base area has increased significantly.  As long as the number of conscripts does not exceed a certain bottom line, it should not have a big impact on production in the base area.  Even if there is, it will be controlled within an acceptable range.  Therefore, Yang Zhen did not object to the idea of ??implementing militarized management of the residents who moved north and training reserve personnel.

    Looking at Li Yanping who fell silent and raised no objections, Yang Zhen dropped a bigger bomb that even surprised Guo Bingxun: "Political Commissar, there is another important reason why I decided to transfer Liu Changshun to the first division. That is, I want to  Establish a large-scale tactical synthetic training base in the southern area of ??Fujin."

    "In the future, not only all new recruits will have to undergo military training there, but even the expanded troops will also have to organize brigades and regiments there from time to time to conduct tactical combined drill training and infantry and artillery coordination training. If the situation allows, the two  Each column must return there regularly for column-level synthetic training.¡±

    "In addition to these, it also has to undertake the training tasks of teaching teams at all levels. Including the company and platoon cadres who were originally trained by the teaching team of the unit, all pre-training cadres must spend one to three months there.  Training. Especially staff officers at all levels must undergo training there and pass the exam before they are allowed to take up their posts.¡±

    "In order to improve the technical and tactical level of the troops and allow new recruits to familiarize themselves with Japanese tactics as soon as possible before going to the battlefield. I plan to select those who can serve us from among the Japanese prisoners of war captured in our previous battles and form a brigade-level team.  The Japanese tactical detachment is equipped with a full set of Japanese equipment, including Japanese military uniforms, and is specially used as a training partner.¡±

    "These people are officers and soldiers who have been rigorously trained by the Japanese army. They are very familiar with various tactics of the Japanese army, especially basic infantry and artillery tactics. Using them as whetstones can help our cadres and soldiers go to the battlefield.  "Having a real understanding of the enemy and being familiar with the Japanese army's combat style can allow them to feel the atmosphere on the battlefield in advance."

    "And while conducting tactical drills with this Japanese army unit, we can find out the Japanese army's tactical weaknesses as comprehensively as possible and formulate targeted cracking tactics. In order to attack more effectively in future operations  Enemy. Get the maximum result at the minimum cost.¡±

    "With this kind of force, we have a lot of combat experience and don't have to go to the battlefield to exchange the lives and blood of soldiers. After all, crossing the river by feeling the stones is not a long-term solution. Form a long-term, effective training system and means,  It's meWhat we should do most now.  "

    "The construction of such a comprehensive training base, which is related to the subsequent development of our army, is impossible without a commander who has been tested in actual combat and has rich experience. This is why I insist on transferring Liu Changshun, who has been tested by war and has experience in combined operations.  The main reason for an experienced person to serve as commander of the First Division, besides the production and construction corps, is to establish this comprehensive training base.¡±

    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the people in front of him who were dumbfounded by his idea, which seemed to them to be a bit whimsical, and continued without caring: "Although I don't want to admit it, there is one thing we have to do.  It is admitted that the combat quality of the Japanese army's grassroots officers, especially their battlefield command capabilities, is still far behind that of our army.

    "Only by learning their strengths and correcting our own shortcomings can we eliminate them more effectively at the minimum cost. This is also a first-hand method of learning war in war."

    "To be honest, I once wanted to use regular graduates of the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School among the Japanese prisoners of war as the basis for our training teams at all levels, especially the military commander training team and the staff training team that we are currently in short supply.  Faculty use.¡±

    "Although I don't want to admit it, the reality tells us that the commanding capabilities and basic technical and tactical levels of the grassroots officers trained strictly and formally by the Japanese Army through its Army Non-Commissioned Officer School are indeed far higher than those of our teaching team.  Cadres trained in a crash course.¡±

    "With the shortage of qualified instructors in our teaching teams at all levels, it would be a pity to leave these people unused. If we can select some people who are willing to serve us from the captured Japanese officers to serve as instructors in the teaching teams at all levels  , Cooperating with this imaginary enemy force composed entirely of original Japanese troops can effectively improve the quality of our army in a short period of time."

    "It's just that I'm worried that these people are being cunning, not working hard, deliberately distorting the teaching content, and even inciting our students at all levels to rebel, so we haven't implemented it. However, although these people cannot be used directly as instructors, they still compile some basic teaching materials.  OK."

    Yang Zhen made this decision not on a whim, but on his true inner thoughts.  This idea existed long before this battle.  The reason that gave him this idea was that the army faced a severe shortage of military instructors in the training teams at all levels, and most of them could only rely on temporarily transferred military officers at all levels to make ends meet.

    This is why Yang Zhen can only focus on the battalion and regiment-level cadre training teams and staff training teams.  The training of cadres at other levels will be conducted in their respective units.  Because he really has no energy, he has to take care of too much when military and political officials at all levels cannot leave the army for a long time.

    Although these instructors who were transferred from the army to improvise are rich in practical experience, their theoretical foundation is extremely lacking.  Many people even learned the most basic skills of a military commander, such as reading a map, in Lao Heidingzi's secret camp.

    In the training of grassroots cadres, most of them will only follow the textbooks compiled by Yang Zhen, and at most add their own practice, that is, their own local experience.  Many of the students taught in this way lead troops based on their own instructors' experience, and cannot form a unified style.  But under the pressure of reality, we can only maintain it temporarily.

    "Compared to the cadre training team, which has varying levels of skill, but whether it relies on its own experience or follows a script, it can still cope with it.  The high school students from Puppet Manchukuo who joined the army were selected to form the staff training team. Although the starting point was relatively high and the level was much better, there was a serious shortage of teachers.

    ¡°In the staff training team that trains combat staff, which is currently most lacking in the army, Guo Bingxun was almost alone in compiling the instructors and teaching materials at the beginning.  Later, after some talents were trained, the situation improved slightly. Although there was still a shortage of teachers, there were people who could help.

    Those who train a small number of staff officers in advance have to cope with the heavy workload in the army, which is almost overwhelming due to lack of manpower.  On the one hand, I have to do everything possible to find time to change shifts to serve as a teacher for the teaching team and teach the new juniors who join the team.

    This kind of balancing act makes the limited number of staff officers at all levels even more incapacitated.  As the army begins to expand on a large scale, the serious lack of staff talents at all levels has now become the first problem facing Yang Zhen.

    You must know that the original field army only had three brigades, plus three military divisions, which already stretched the staff candidates.  In addition to the candidates assigned to each brigade, Yang Zhen, as the commander of the military region, and Guo Bingxun, the chief of staff of the military region, and all the staff around him combined??Less than ten people.

    And these ten people are responsible for all staff operations such as tactics, surveying and mapping, training, queues, intelligence integration, and even communications and confidentiality for the entire military region.  Normally it's okay, I can barely cope with it.  But during the war, I was so busy that I often had to worry about my head and not my feet.

    Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun have to deal with many tactical issues, even the most basic tactical issues, personally.  Not only did it waste a lot of precious time during the war, it also involved a lot of energy from the two people.  When wartime came, the students in the staff training team had no choice but to study on their own according to the tutorials when the senior brothers who served as instructors were really unable to spare time.

    ??The staff candidates were already stretched thin, but now the size of the army has quadrupled, and there is an even greater shortage of qualified staff officers.  The emergency redeployment of some company and platoon officers not only affects the combat effectiveness of the grassroots units, but also many of these personnel who have not received systematic training are simply incompetent.  He truly became what later generations would call a blind consultant.

    Although Yang Zhen didn¡¯t want to admit it, after a battle on the battlefield, Yang Zhen had to admit that although senior Japanese military officers were often known for their recklessness, their junior officers who had undergone formal and strict training were indeed outstanding.  Not only his basic skills are extremely solid, but he also has a strong sense of initiative.

    In addition to some high school students who were recruited, a large number of Japanese military officers went through three years of local junior military schools, two years of central junior military schools, and two years of Army Noncommissioned Officer School, a total of more than ten years. Although it is somewhat rigid, it is not suitable for large-scale military expansion in wartime.  , but the grassroots officers of the Japanese army trained under a strict and even seemingly cruel system can indeed be called first-rate.

    ¡°If the German staff officers in World War II are the best staff officers of this era, then the Japanese army¡¯s grassroots officers who have experienced more than ten years of professional training can be said to be the best grassroots officers in the world.  The most important thing is that these grassroots officers are not as rigid and rigid as the top brass of the Japanese army.  The technical and tactical level is definitely the best in the world.

    It was with this understanding that Yang Zhen wanted to select some of the Japanese prisoners of war to serve him.  At least they can serve as technical and tactical instructors at all levels.  It was only due to the situation and safety considerations that he had to be cautious.

    "The establishment of imaginary enemy forces, a common practice among almost all military powers in later generations, was also an idea he had long ago.  Organize the troops to conduct realistic and rigorous combined training of various arms after the battle, and use captured Japanese prisoners of war as whetstones to improve the technical and tactical level of the troops in a short period of time.  And find out the shortcomings in the training of the troops in the shortest possible time, and provide first-hand information for the training, operations, organization and equipment adjustment of the troops.

    The large-scale comprehensive training base he conceived was modeled after the later U.S. Army's Fort Irwin training base and the People's Liberation Army's Baicheng training base.  The reason why we chose Fujin is because the terrain there is relatively complex and basically has the main terrain of the North Manchuria region.  Moreover, the Fujin Fortress built by the Japanese army can be used as an attack training base.

    Although the construction of this Fujin Fortress had just begun, it was abandoned due to the war.  However, the infrastructure has been built and various fortifications are generally completed.  It can be used as a ready-made training ground for troops to train for tough tasks and formulate tough tactics.

    Compared with Li Yanping and Gao Yumin, who were somewhat incomprehensible to Yang Zhen's idea, Guo Bingxun, the only one among them who had studied abroad experience, was also shocked by Yang Zhen's idea, but he understood Yang Zhen's idea after just a brief thought.  The true intention of the idea.

    After figuring out the cause and effect, Guo Bingxun immediately expressed his support for Yang Zhen¡¯s idea of ??using Japanese prisoners of war to form a confrontational force using original Japanese equipment and tactics to serve as a grindstone in troop training.  He even expressed support for Yang Zhen's desire to use Japanese prisoners of war to serve as basic instructors for training teams at all levels.

    In Guo Bingxun¡¯s view, although Yang Zhen¡¯s idea seems a bit advanced, it is very suitable for the situation where the army is about to expand.  After the army expansion is completed, the regiment-level organization will take turns to practice with this Japanese brigade, which can enable the new recruits to be exposed to the battlefield as early as possible.  The newly organized troops can also enter the state as early as possible, which is extremely conducive to the rapid growth of the troops.
