    Yang Zhen's words seemed to be a reassurance for the military commander who had been forced to run away several times before.  But in response to Yang Zhen's statement that his ability was higher than his, the military commander quickly waved his hand and said, "Political Commissar, you may not say so. We have already received the battle reports from the central government about your several battles in the Northeast.  To be honest, I can¡¯t fight your kind of battle.¡±

    "In this year's battle, with roughly equal forces, you actually defeated the siege of more than 100,000 Japanese troops equipped with tanks, heavy artillery and a large number of aviation units, and annihilated most of them. This result is not to mention our poor equipment.  Even the most well-equipped Central Army cannot defeat them."

    "The political commissar started from scratch in the Northeast, almost from scratch. With one or two hundred defeated soldiers, it would be difficult to create a vast world without superhuman military literacy. We all know the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. With the political commissar, we have repeatedly defeated more with less.  Compared with completely reversing the situation in the Northeast, my ability is inferior to that of the famous Northern Expedition generals and the Iron Army. Don¡¯t mention it anymore, the political commissar.¡±

    "Just like you said, one is one and two is two. Qualifications are qualifications, but ability is ability. Although my qualifications are far older than yours, my abilities are too far apart. The little experience we had before is now  On the battlefield, it is no longer enough to face an enemy armed to the teeth. "

    "To be honest, I am surprised that you came to serve as the political commissar of the New Fourth Army, but it is also expected. Maybe it is not just me, but even all senior cadres may be surprised. Especially the one who has the right to receive the battle report forwarded by the Central Committee  The senior cadres all felt a little surprised, even a little sudden.¡±

    "But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand the central government's intention of transferring you to the New Fourth Army at a critical moment in Northeast China. The situation in southern Anhui has reached a critical moment, and what is needed here is someone who can make decisive decisions.  People, otherwise the situation in southern Anhui will be difficult to resolve in a short time. The more than 10,000 cadres and troops in southern Anhui are in danger. "

    Regarding the commander¡¯s evaluation, Yang Zhen just smiled lightly.  Although he heard that the elder's appreciation was genuine, it did not mean that he would accept it.  However, in the face of the current bad situation, neither Yang Zhen nor the army commander was in the mood to continue this topic.

    After a moment of silence, the military commander said: "Political Commissar, this time the central government has transferred you to southern Anhui to take charge of the overall situation when the situation in Northeast China has reached a critical moment. I believe you already know the situation here. You didn't tell everything at the meeting, so  I specifically want to ask you what you really think. Which of the three routes do you think is the most suitable? As the secretary of the military branch, you still have to make the final decision."

    Regarding the commander's straightforwardness, Yang Zhen said without any hesitation: "None of the three routes are good choices for us now. But judging from the current situation in southern Anhui, we have no choice except these three routes.  There are other options. We were too hesitant before and actually lost the best opportunity to transfer.¡±

    "The strategic position of Southern Anhui, which is at an angle with Southern Jiangsu, is indeed important. But it is deep and narrow here, and the surrounding situation is very different from that after the fall of Nanjing. The elites of the three theaters are in the west and south directions, and the elites of the three theaters are in the east.  We are trapped in southern Anhui, where the headquarters of the Japanese invaders are heavily concentrated. Not only are we unable to develop, but we are in danger of sitting there waiting for death.¡±

    "Now that the encirclement of Wannan by the three theaters has been completed, no matter which route we choose except the eastern front, we have to march under their guns. This is not a low risk for us, or even higher. So right now  As I said at the meeting, no matter which route we choose, we must be prepared to fight.¡±

    "We are still half a month away from the final evacuation time set by the Third War Zone. Once we continue to delay the deadline, we will give them the excuse to come to their door. This is very detrimental to gaining public support. Not only that, but also for  For us, the opportunity is fleeting, so we must start taking action before the end of the month.¡±

    "As for the route selection, although the northern route through Fanchang, Tongling and Wuwei is our old transportation line, it is also the old guerrilla zone of the three detachments and the Wuwei guerrillas. The distance is shorter and the mass base is better. But this way  The water network is criss-crossing and is the main blockade of the Japanese and puppets on the Yangtze River. "

    "Unless we choose to disperse our limited strength and withdraw northward in batches under the current situation of the enemy. Otherwise, on the terrain of more than fifty miles of water network, small force operations are acceptable, but for large force movements  , especially when our army lacks the ability to attack critical difficulties, this is not a good choice."

    "And now the three divisions of the Guangxi troops from the fifth theater of Jiangbei have arrived in the Wuwei area. It is hard to say whether they will cooperate with the third theater to deal with us, or cover us to cross the river. In addition, the Japanese army has deployed an additional 15 divisions to arrive at the Tongling and Fanchang lines.  This line has actually been??It's impossible.  "

    "Commander Xiyi, as a famous general in the Northern Expedition, should know that although the Guangxi troops are poorly equipped, their combat effectiveness is very strong. Especially their mountain warfare capabilities are no less than ours. In the Battle of Xiangjiang, the Central Red Army was once defeated by the Guangxi troops.  A big loss. Coupled with the Japanese 15th Division, we are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and are likely to face a flanking attack."

    "As for the eastern front, although the mass base is also good, and there are southern Jiangsu troops that can respond. However, it is a key blockade area in the third theater. Its 108th Division has completed the deployment of defenses and the construction of fortifications. Now the main force of the southern Jiangsu troops has gone north.  Crossing, the remaining 3,000 troops are the only remaining force of our army in southern Jiangsu?p>

    Neon thief!  ?p>

    "In the face of the heavy troops in the third theater, and in addition to the pressure of the heavy mopping up by the Japanese and puppet troops, the power of southern Jiangsu can play a very limited role. Once the southern Jiangsu troops take the initiative to respond when our army crosses north,  On the contrary, it will be detrimental to my subsequent development in Jiangnan.¡±

    "And the Third War Zone only allows us to evacuate non-combatants through this route, and our combat troops are strictly prohibited from passing through. In other words, if we choose this route, we will risk an open break with the Third War Zone. This is very important for our ability to win public opinion.  Support is equally detrimental.¡±

    "Since both routes are no longer feasible, for us, the only remaining route is to go south to Maolin, Sanxi into Jingde, Ningguo to Guangde, Langxi to Liyang and look for opportunities to cross north. This route  In fact, on the surface, the foundation for mass work is weak, the distance is relatively long, and the operation is towards the rear of the third theater and is heavily guarded, which is very disadvantageous to me politically and militarily. "

    "However, under the circumstances that the Third War Zone agrees that our New Fourth Army troops in southern Anhui will move north along this route and that they have not completed their deployment to encircle and suppress us, as long as our army moves quickly and resolutely, it is entirely possible to successfully move north along this route. Especially in this situation.  Neither the Third Theater nor the Japanese and puppet troops expected that we would choose this route, so we can choose to take it by surprise."

    "Although it is politically unfavorable to us, as long as we do not develop it in depth, we can effectively reverse the disadvantage of public opinion. And we can take effective measures to avoid being politically passive. After all, our retreat north is in  Following repeated requests from the Third War Zone.¡±

    "So Commander, when studying which route to retreat, we should focus on this route. When you communicate with the Third War Zone, you must propose this route. But in terms of time, you must not leave any room for the other party.  There is too much preparation time. In other words, within three days of the report, we must take action regardless of whether the third theater agrees or not. We must not leave time for the opponent to adjust the defense. "

    "And after the operation begins, we must quickly get rid of all interference. Don't make any stops along the way, and march straight into Liyang at the speed of a forced march. If the third theater fires the first shot first, then concentrate your forces and fight with all your strength. You  As a military commander, you have full authority to make decisions on war matters."

    "However, before taking action, a group of veteran scouts must be mobilized, preferably experienced and capable forces who have persisted in guerrilla warfare for three years in the south. Carry out careful and rigorous reconnaissance on this route. Especially the terrain must be done  I know it in my heart. There is still more than half a month, which should be enough time."

    "In addition, I will have detailed information on the 40th Division's equipment, personnel, and especially its combat effectiveness within a week. This will include the mobilization of other troops in the third theater, as well as a detailed briefing on troop strength and equipment.  , Especially when it comes to our deployment one week before the transfer, we must have a detailed understanding of ourselves and our enemies in order to be victorious in every battle."

    "For any accidents that may be encountered on the northern retreat route, the military commander must be prepared and have a contingency plan. And this plan must be based on the thinking of fighting. There must be mental preparation including changes in terrain and climate. Especially  The adverse effects of climate on our marching operations.¡±

    "Southern Anhui is a terrain where precipitation in mountainous areas has a great impact on the water volume of the Qingge River and other rivers. The water volume of each river on our way to the north must be taken into consideration. During the northward retreat, a group of strong personnel must be mobilized.  , is responsible for erecting pontoons on various rivers to assist the troops in crossing the rivers as quickly as possible, and must consider as much detail as possible. "

    Having said this, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Comrade Xiyi, our retreat to the north is actually being carried out under the circumstances of being surrounded by powerful enemies. If you are not careful, any hesitation may be  Once you make up your mind, you must be decisive.¡±

    "The central government is far away and water cannot quench the near thirst. Judging from our years of struggle experience, if the other party is really determined to eat us, no matter how the central government negotiates, it will not interfere with its determination. Therefore, in addition to the general policy, weIn addition to listening to the central government's arrangements strategically, we have to rely on ourselves for the rest.  "

    "And the liaison officer stationed in the New Fourth Army in the third theater must be closely monitored by me. All deployments must be kept strictly confidential. He must not be allowed to leave before crossing the river. Especially the news of my arrival  , it must be tightly sealed.¡±

    "There is nothing wrong with obeying the united front in everything. But this is relative, not absolute. We cannot tie our hands and feet firmly to the united front and limit our development, let alone give away our heads for this reason.  to someone else¡¯s bayonet.¡±
