    Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun hesitated slightly and said: "New weapons are greatly affected by raw material constraints and production processes, especially since our industrial base is still extremely weak, and they are not suitable for large-scale use.  Especially when this kind of weapon is extremely powerful and needs to be kept strictly confidential, early overexposure will only do harm and not bring any benefit. "

    "And it is extremely undesirable to rely solely on heavy artillery firepower when we are unable to produce the required shells and spare barrels." These 240mm heavy cannons, 300mm fortress guns and 200mm  We simply cannot produce shells for the 40mm heavy howitzer, at least not yet.  All the thousands of rounds of artillery shells are captured. Once they are used up, what will happen in the future?  "

    "As for the other reasons for your refusal, I think you still have a point. However, it is simply not to let the troops develop the habit of relying too much on fire support. At the same time, the troops must learn to fight with their brains when the situation changes.  I think you did nothing wrong.¡±

    "Although this kind of learning often has to pay a considerable price. But this is exactly what you said before, the price you must pay for growth. There are many times when rejection is not an injury, but a kind of harm.  Help. We should all learn to say no.¡±

    Hearing these words of Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen nodded slightly thoughtfully, stood up and walked around the room for a while and then said: "Lao Guo, should I go to the Dongning front line to see what's going on there?  How should we start? I'm a little worried that too many casualties will damage the vitality of the three verticals. After all, this battle is a new test for us."

    Regarding Yang Zhen's idea of ??rushing to Dongning to command the front line in person, Guo Bingxun said with a faint smile: "No. 1, you have a bit of a look. What did you tell us at the beginning? Why can't you keep calm when you come here?  ? How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? This is what you often tell us."

    "In the Battle of Mishan, you have done everything you should do, and the rest can only be understood by themselves. We will face many similar situations in the future, and you cannot go to the scene to command every battle. And on-the-spot  Disposal is also the most basic test for a senior commander. Under the premise that he has gained similar experience before, if he cannot pass this test and still has to fight hard, then we should consider changing this position.  "

    At this point, Guo Bingxun's tone changed slightly and he said seriously: "And I think that if you really get similar experience, even if the price you pay is higher, it is not unacceptable. If nothing else, Hunchun in the south of Dongning  , the Japanese army has a large-scale fortress project under construction. "

    "Furthermore, through interrogation of Japanese prisoners of war in the First Division, we learned that the Japanese army is also building a large secret fortification group in the Hailar area of ??Hung Yen Province. This is what we currently know. In the entire Northeast, we do not know how many secret fortification groups there are.  How much, I¡¯m afraid no one knows except the Japanese Kwantung Army.¡±

    "We must gain such experience no matter how much it costs. From Hutou Fortress to Luming Terrace and Dongning, we are all on the front line, and there are light railways built by the Japanese army that can be used. But one day in the future, if we encounter  What if the Japanese army cannot use heavy artillery in the western fortress group where the road is more difficult? "

    "Besides, the price to pay is not necessarily high. He, Du Kaishan, has had some experience before, and now he is concerned about chaos. Seeing that other fronts have ceased, only his side is still fighting. Still.  I can¡¯t resolve the battle quickly, I just feel like I¡¯m losing face. It¡¯s not that this guy doesn¡¯t have the ability, he¡¯s just a little impatient now.¡±

    Guo Bingxun¡¯s words reminded Yang Zhen that he himself seemed a little impatient.  After figuring it out, Yang Zhen just laughed it off.  After thinking about it, he sent another telegram to Du Kaishan.  In this telegram, Yang Zhen only wrote four words: "Slow and steady."

    After sending this telegram, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun quickly got into new work.  The war had just ended, and there were too many things to do to replenish and deploy troops.  Yang Zhen doesn't have much energy to focus on a single battlefield now.  Moreover, he still knew the abilities of Du Kaishan and Wang Xiaoming.

    ¡°If the two of them were put together, they still would not be able to scoop out the remaining three fortresses of Shenghongshan, Xunshan and Chaorishan in the entire Dongning fortress group.  Or fighting hard to cause heavy casualties to the troops for such a fortress group, then their column commander should also come to an end.

    However, after thinking about it, Yang Zhen decided to transfer Ma Chunsheng to Dongning to assist in the operation and leave the entire Mudanjiang area to Liu Changshun.  At the same time, the deployment was adjusted and Tao Jingfei's troops were transferred to Shuangcheng.  Move one column to Qiqihar for garrison.

      After adjusting the overall deployment, Guo Bingxun hesitated for a moment and then said to Yang Zhen: "No. 1, you see, although our results are great this time, the number of troop casualties has never been seen before. So far, not counting the Eastern Front  In the battle, the single and fourth columns alone suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and with the continuous construction of new infrastructure, our labor force has become obviously insufficient."

    "Although our army rescued more than 100,000 workers from the Hulin Fortress Group, the Hormojin Fortress Group, the Farabie Fortress Group and the Dongning Fortress Group this time. However, the ages of these workers vary. Judging from the current statistics,  Only less than 60% of the people are of suitable age, although some skilled workers can be selected from the rest?p>

    "The more than 30,000 Puppet Manchukuo soldiers and police captured in this battle still need to undergo strict physical examination and screening. It is estimated that there is a lot of room for selection among the national soldiers, but for those special agents such as the Puppet Manchukuo forest police,  Again, if possible, try not to use it. In this way, unless a universal compulsory military system is implemented in the new area, we will still have a certain shortage of soldiers. "

    "Just from the perspective of local armed forces, we need to establish at least four new divisions and prepare a certain amount of armed forces. This does not include supplementing the original parts of each division that have been transferred to the main force. In addition, in order to maintain the current scale of the base area, we  Six to eight more field brigades will be formed, as well as supplementary troops such as supplementary brigades.¡±

    "As a result, the soldier potential is still somewhat insufficient. From the current point of view, the soldier gap is more than 20,000 to 30,000. This does not include the additional soldiers for the First Army. What we are facing now is that the soldier potential of the old base areas has been exhausted.  Digging out the embers, the situation in the new area is complicated and there is no half a year for rectification, so it is impossible to start recruiting troops.¡±

    "So I suggest that our current recruitment of soldiers should be mainly based on rescued laborers, supplemented by captives of the Puppet Manchukuo soldiers. Compared with the Puppet Manchukuo army who does not know how many Japanese and puppet agents are involved, the nature of the labor is more  Be more pure. Moreover, these people have suffered a lot from the Japanese army, and they have a lot of hatred towards the Japanese army.¡±

    "The most fundamental thing is that their homes are far away in the pass. Under the current situation, there will not be a large number of deserters. Since the number of soldiers of suitable age among the laborers we have rescued is not enough, I suggest that Li Mingrui  Deploy some cavalry from a brigade from Wang Xiaoming and attack the Hunchun front line. "

    "Judging from the confessions of captured Japanese prisoners of war and information from the Intelligence Department, the Japanese army is building a large fortress on the Wujiazi front line in Hunchun. Although the scale is not as large as the two major fortress groups of Dongning and Hutou in the north, it should not be larger in size.  Second to several major fortress groups in Heihe."

    "Based on the labor usage of the several Japanese fortresses we have captured so far, the Hunchun Fortress needs at least 30,000 workers. And now the Japanese army only has two regiments of the 57th Division in Hunchun.  . I suggest taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army is also in urgent need of rest and recuperation, and launch a surprise attack to rescue all the workers."

    "First, it can prevent these workers from being tortured to death by the Japanese army, or being massacred after the completion of the project. Second, this part of the labor can be used to make up for the gaps in our soldiers. Otherwise, if our army occupied Dongning, the Japanese army would be very  They may be targeting these workers first to keep it secret. Also, once the exact location of the Japanese fortress group in Hailar is found, troops can be dispatched specifically to rescue them.¡±

    Yang Zhen couldn't help but be slightly startled after hearing Guo Bingxun's suggestion.  Although I think Guo Bingxun's surprise attack specifically to rescue labor organizations is a bit exaggerated.  But for the present, especially when the newly liberated areas have not yet been rectified, Yang Zhen still knows that it is difficult to replenish troops.

    For most of the base areas in the vast and sparsely populated North Manchuria region, the problem of recruiting soldiers has even replaced the problem of equipment as Yang Zhen's most troublesome problem.  Now, if the arsenal is fully engaged in production, it can be completely self-sufficient in light equipment, excluding ammunition.

    But soldiers are different. In Northern Manchuria, which is vast and sparsely populated, no matter how hard we dig out soldiers of the right age, there will still be a limit.  Without soldiers, it means that everything is gone.  If equipment is a reflection of part of an army's combat effectiveness, then soldiers are the basis for an army's survival.

    Although Yang Zhen now controls the Binjiang, Longjiang, Heihe and Sanjiang provinces of the puppet Manchukuo, his territory seems to have expanded, and his resources are adequate, but his population resources are limited.  The combined population of the four provinces is less than five million.  The total population is less than the several administrative regions of the most populous provinces in the pass.  The small population base has become a key factor restricting Yang Zhen's development.

    Not to mention that it is not possible to recruit soldiers in the new area now, even if it can be carried out, the number of soldiers that can be provided is not the same.??is very sufficient.  Among the population of less than five million, another part must be retained to provide workers for several large industrial plants in the future, and a considerable part of the population must be retained to engage in agricultural production.

    There are not many young and middle-aged people. Unless Yang Zhen does not make plans for the future development of mountainous areas and the construction of factories, and the entire army is prepared to go hungry, the number of people who can really be added to the army is still quite limited.  The captured puppet Manchukuo troops can rarely be replenished as soon as they are captured.  The problem of replenishing soldiers has almost become the biggest headache for Yang Zhen and even the senior officials of the entire military region.
