Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After receiving the call back from the headquarters, Sui Changqing was shocked by the content, but he was relieved in his heart.  [.//He did not expect that the headquarters not only failed to hold the commander accountable, but also continued to grant Du Kaishan the overall command of the Eastern Front and command the next battle in Dongning and Hunchun.  They even airlifted two battalions of reinforcements specifically for the three verticals that suffered heavy casualties.

    The reinforcements from these two battalions are a drop in the bucket for the three verticals that are in urgent need of supplements.  But this is the first time since the troops moved eastward that they have received additional troops.  Although he did not guess the true intention of the headquarters in doing so, Sui Changqing was greatly relieved that the headquarters did not hold Du Kaishan accountable.

    The reason why he was shocked by the contents of the telegram drafted by No. 1 himself was not because Sui Changqing was ambitious and hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to remove Du Kaishan from his post at the headquarters and replace him as the chief of staff of the front-line troops.  He, Sui Changqing, does not have such big ambitions.

    The reason is that he thinks Du Kaishan's plan is too simple.  Moreover, it was a bit too playful to transfer the troops staying in Mishan without asking for instructions from their superiors and without replacing the troops.  He did not expect that the head of the headquarters would think more than himself, the commander.

    Looking at Sui Changqing who breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the reason why the old man's face became more relaxed was because after the telegram was sent, he finally didn't have to worry about himself and worried about being punished by his superiors. Du Kaishan shook his head.  He smiled bitterly and said: "Old Sui, you still haven't figured out No. 1's character. If you had figured out his character, you would never worry about me."

    "Old Sui, do you know what No. 1 values ????most among us senior commanders? Let me tell you, apart from your ability, it depends on whether you have an overall concept in your heart and whether you can serve the overall situation.  And put yourself on the edge of the cliff. Can you dare to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the overall situation? "

    "In addition to the level of one's own ability, the No. 1 general is most concerned about the overall situation. No matter how capable a person is, if he does not have the overall situation and has the courage to sacrifice himself when necessary, he will never use it.  At least they won¡¯t be selected as military officers or senior commanders.¡±

    Having said this, Du Kaishan picked up a red and blue pencil and drew a big red circle on Dongning and Hunchun in the south on the map of Binjiang Province of Manchukuo hanging on the wall of the command post: "This time the Second Column is going south to Hunchun.  It seems that they are fighting in two directions with us, but in fact they are fighting as a whole with two dissatisfied brigades fighting south, facing the siege of two Japanese divisions, even closer to Hunchun.  The Japanese and Korean troops are close at hand and can be reinforced at any time.¡±

    "Just like we are now integrated with the Second Column, the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army also have the same relationship. During the September 18th Incident, the Kwantung Army was insufficient in strength. The Korean Army crossed the border without authorization to provide support without orders from the Japanese base camp.  , also shows that the relationship between the two Japanese armies is extremely close.¡±

    "If the Kwantung Army really opens its mouth to rescue, the North Korean army, which now has two full-strength divisions and a large number of so-called garrison units or independent units, will never sit idly by and watch.  They will join the battle directly instead of waiting for orders from the Japanese base camp. If the 19th Division really takes action without permission, Lao Wang will not be facing two divisions. "

    "Once the second column is outnumbered, it loses in Hunchun or is even surrounded. The Kwantung Army, reinforced by the North Korean army, is likely to take advantage of the situation and move north, and we will face two Japanese divisions or even more troops alone. Old Sui, what do you think?  Can our current strength be able to deal with the siege of two Japanese divisions alone? "

    "And if Dongning is lost, the entire connected Muling, Mishan, and Hulin areas will be shaken. If the eastern front is turbulent, the western front and the old base areas will not be stable. Especially as a new area, the enemy agents have not been completely eliminated.  On the Western Front, it is easy for problems to arise, and even the results we achieved in this battle at a heavy cost are in danger of being wasted.¡±

    "Although the victory we achieved in this battle was great, the casualties were indeed heavy. Not to mention our column and the second column, the first and fourth columns now basically have no combat effectiveness. The potential of the soldiers in the Sanjiang old base area is  It has been dug out. The entire military region has lost its ability to sustain operations in a short period of time.¡±

    "The reason why Lao Wang went south this time was because the headquarters wanted to rescue the workers there so that they could select suitable-age personnel to join the army. As the chief of staff, you, Lao Sui, are in charge of astronomy and geography at the top and trivial matters at the bottom. It's not that you haven't seen that in our  Before the eastward march, the military region replenished the reservists in the old base areas. "

    "Old ones, young ones, even middle-aged people in their thirties and children of sixteen or seventeen years old. Although such personnel have completed preliminary training, the real workYou Lao Sui should have an idea of ??how much combat ability you have.  If you ask a man in his thirties to fight with a powerful opponent in his twenties, can he survive?  "

    "If we can't seize the opportunity, we should think more comprehensively. Once we are really passive, the military region that doesn't even have the capital to respond now will have nowhere to mobilize reinforcements. Is it really possible for those young people at Liu Changshun's place to do so?  Guadanzi, go to the battlefield? It was precisely after seeing this that No. 1 agreed to my plan to kill first and then tell."

    "It's not that you, Old Sui, don't have this vision, otherwise as a newly formed unit, the headquarters would not select you as the chief of staff. You know better than me how much No. 1 attaches importance to the chiefs of staff of each unit. When choosing the chief of staff,  "

    "It turns out that the conditions do not allow it, but you also know that before this battle, the headquarters even issued an order that no one who has not served as chief of staff should be promoted to brigade chief. Can you, old Sui, be selected by the headquarters?  Serving as the chief of staff of the newly formed fourth division shows that you have this ability. "

    "Your old Sui's ability to grasp the battle situation on the battlefield and his ability to judge the battlefield situation in a short period of time are all top-notch. But your biggest problem is that sometimes you worry too much about gains and losses and look forward and backward. You, old Sui, are a soldier.  You must show your decisiveness as a soldier and don¡¯t always look forward and backward, like an old woman.¡±

    "The only remaining lines of the Dongning Fortress Group are Chaori Mountain, Mulu Mountain and Qingshilizi. No matter how many troops they had before, but now the remaining Japanese army, even with all their strength, what can they do? Unless  They can grow wings and run anywhere, but they are just trapped in a lonely city."

    "Even if we people can't rely on our current strength to completely eat them, we still have the ability to trap them tightly in the fortifications. And we now also have a firepower advantage, especially in artillery. We even have  Absolute firepower advantage. Coupled with weapons such as anti-tank rocket launchers and infantry directional mines, as well as air superiority, what do we have to fear?"

    "With these sophisticated equipment, as long as we make good use of them, even if we cannot completely eat the remaining Japanese troops in the remaining fortifications of Dongning Fortress, we will never let them overturn. Old Sui, we and other troops are  It is a whole that loses everything and prospers every time. In many cases, it is not necessarily a blessing to give up some things and suffer some small losses.¡±

    "Old Sui, you are thoughtful, capable, and strong. If you broaden your horizons, broaden your mind, and don't worry about many things, your success in the future will never be inferior to mine. As your old comrade and now  Upgrade, I really hope you can get rid of these habits as soon as possible. "

    "For the remaining thousands of Japanese troops here, Hunchun's Twelfth Division and Fifty-seventh Division, as well as the Korean army behind them, are our biggest opponents and the ones that need to be eliminated most. The Twelfth Division  Although the regiment suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, its vitality is still there. Although the 57th Division lost most of its regiment in Shuangcheng, its main force is still there. "

    "There is also the intact 19th Division behind these two Japanese divisions. These are what we should consider most. Now we and the Second Column are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can escape. Lao Wang  Although we are smart and capable, if we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, we will be surrounded by enemies if we are not careful. Now that we are fully assisting Lao Wang, we are actually helping ourselves. "

    These words of Du Kaishan made Sui Changqing fall into silence.  Although these words of Du Kaishan are a bit harsh, they are a rare piece of advice.  He knew that as a commander, being silent for a long time when the chief of staff next to him could say these words would definitely be regarded as a recommendation.  Thinking of this, Sui Changqing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood where his problem lay.

    Looking at his old friend who seemed a little silent, Du Kaishan patted his shoulder wordlessly and said: "Old Sui, don't think too much. I know you are also doing good for the army, but many times, looking at the problem  We must look at the overall situation. We must give up what needs to be paid. For the sake of the overall situation, we must persist in giving orders to the troops. "

    After all, Sui Changqing is a veteran who has been tested on the battlefield and has a strong recovery ability.  Moreover, he also knew that the commander could say these words for his own good.  After hearing these last comforting words from Du Kaishan, Sui Changqing quickly regained his usual poise, sat down and gathered his thoughts to draft combat orders for each regiment according to Du Kaishan's ideas.

    It¡¯s just what happened next that made the two of them a little baffled.  The Japanese troops on the front line of Mount Asahi, who had been cut off from water sources, remained motionless in the face of the current situation.Mountain.  Instead of forcibly retreating to Qingshilizi, they huddled inside the fortifications. Apart from firing desperately at the slightest sign of trouble, there was no sign of a breakout.

    On the contrary, the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line are desperately moving closer to the Chaori Mountain front line.  The independent brigade group, which was originally thought to bear the greatest pressure, turned out to be a laid-back person.  However, the Second Regiment, which was originally thought to be the weakest persimmon in the Japanese army, was actually under great pressure.
