    "Modern equipment such as tanks, airplanes, and automobiles are indeed powerful, but without the oil, they are just a pile of scrap metal. Our current gasoline can only last for half a year at most, aviation gasoline can last for nine months, and the diesel needed for tanks is still  A reserve that can barely last ten months.¡±

    "And this result is the result of our careful budgeting, reducing the use of cars as much as possible, and concentrating fuel to ensure the use of tanks. If we start all the cars and all the aircraft we currently equip, this consumption will increase by one  times."

    "Once this battle continues to stalemate for a long time, it will be very unfavorable for us. With the channels for foreign aid and outsourcing basically cut off, it will be difficult for us to obtain replenishment in a short time and we will only rely on reserves.  You can¡¯t last long in combat.¡±

    "Also, after we capture Xinjing, in addition to the military burden, the most important thing is the economic burden. Xinjing's current population, including the Japanese, has reached more than one million. Once we regain Xinjing, we will certainly be able to  It¡¯s politically favorable, but economically it¡¯s unaffordable for us.¡±

    "Such a large population base needs us to support. The daily consumption of food, calculated at one and a half catties per person, is as high as more than two million catties per day. In addition to the coal, kerosene, salt, and cotton needed for daily life,  , medicine and other supplies are enough to bring down our currently extremely weak economy. It is difficult for us to meet the consumption of food alone, which will further affect the overall strategic deployment of our army in the next step. "

    "Old Chief, the main grain producing areas in the Northeast are not in Northern Manchuria, but in Southern Manchuria and the central area of ??Jilin. Compared with Jilin and Southern Manchuria, the grain output in the North Manchu base area is very different. Just rely on the current grain output in Northern Manchuria.  "Excluding the grain needed to exchange materials with the Soviet Union, except for part of the remaining grain being used as reserves, we simply cannot support such a large urban population."

    "To seize the Xinjing area now, the immediate benefits are huge, and it can win a high voice politically, but in the long run, it does not bring much benefit to us. On the contrary, it increases our burden, and even  It may also bring down the fragile economy within the base area, and once our manpower is exhausted, it will be difficult to hold Xinjing even if we occupy it.¡±

    "Rather than taking it back and then throwing it away from our hands, which will bring even worse consequences, it is better to give up temporarily. Therefore, taking into account the overall situation we are currently facing, as well as our long-term plans for the future, we think it is better to give up now.  Taking Xinjing is not very suitable for us. Rather than taking Xinjing now, it is better to leave it in the hands of the Japanese army temporarily as a weight for us to contain them. "

    "So our goal in this operation is to focus on Western Manchuria and use Eastern Manchuria to contain and disperse the strength of the Japanese army. As for the center line, to put it bluntly, we are to contain the main effective forces deployed by the Japanese army along the Zhongchang Railway so that they cannot use all their strength.  , Just reinforcements to the west, Xinjing is not our target in this battle at all. "

    Regarding Yang Zhen's idea of ??not taking Xinjing, one of the two veterans agreed and the other disagreed. The commander who agreed believed that Yang Zhen was right. Taking Xinjing would be tantamount to fighting against the Alliance.  It's a big burden, and judging from the current strength of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it really can't withstand too much consumption.

    Once the casualties are too heavy and the follow-up troops cannot keep up, the entire good situation will be ruined. As a veteran, he knows better that once the Anti-Japanese Alliance launches an attack on Xinjing, given the important location of Xinjing, the battlefields around Xinjing will  It is not possible, but it is destined to become a meat grinder, and the Anti-Union does not have much capital to invest in this meat grinder.

    Regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, this is the essence of the anti-Japanese guerrilla war. Although the situation in Northern Manchuria is different now, the capture of a large city heavily guarded by the Japanese army will bring casualties and the subsequent counterattack of the Japanese army.  The impact cannot but be considered.

    At present, only forming a pincer offensive against Xinjing to contain the heavy Japanese army group south of Xinjing, without launching a real offensive against Xinjing, is undoubtedly a very wise choice of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The military does serve politics, but it cannot be because  With a little political fame, all the troops are involved. Only with the troops can we guarantee that the red flag will be lowered.

    Now it is better to mainly focus on the military. As for the political limelight, it is better not to be out of the spotlight for the time being. The current strength of the army is still far from the real strength of the army. Even the resistance that seems to be very strong now  The same is true for Lianhe. It is not an appropriate price to trade one of our major strategic areas for a city.

    The political commissar who did not agree with it believed that if the Anti-Japanese Alliance captured Xinjing, it would be a great encouragement to the morale of the entire national resistance war and would greatly combat the clamor of the capitulationists. However, this matter is an internal matter of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  Now this young cadre hasHe is a cadre at the same level as himself, so it is not easy for him to interfere too much.

    Moreover, judging from the various orders given by the central government to the advancing army, the central government does not agree with the Anti-Japanese Alliance's premature capture of Xinjing. Even if it captures Xinjing, it will have a negative impact on the domestic situation that is already secretly turbulent.  It is of great help that the central government can express its stance. It also means that this guy has already reached a certain tacit understanding with the central government in this regard.

    Now that the central government has made a conclusion, it is better not to interfere too much. Although this veteran political worker hopes that the Anti-Japanese Alliance can seize Xinjing, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, in order to block some domestic forces that are very detrimental to the 18th Group Army and the New Fourth Army.  remarks.

    After he expressed his attitude, Yang Zhen saw the commanders and political commissars in front of him with different expressions, either in agreement or opposition. Yang Zhen just smiled slightly and did not ask further questions. For him, it was impossible for him to do this for a false reputation.  Throw your troops into that bottomless pit. The Kwantung Army has the capital, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance does not.

    The political commissar did not agree with his idea and still wanted to seize Xinjing. He could understand that although the political commissar was still serving as the commander and political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, compared to military cadres, he was more of a political cadre.  , before the establishment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, he served as the chief of political work most of the time.

    Thinking about the problem is naturally more from a political perspective, but understanding it does not mean that he will implement it according to his ideas. Xinjing cannot fight at the moment, and Yang Zhen has already considered it very maturely.

    As for Ma Chunsheng, considering that it would affect this guy's enthusiasm, I didn't tell him the truth. Ma Chunsheng is good at everything, and he is also a general, but his biggest problem is that it is easy to think too much about some things.  , risking his life to survive, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to do it without a gun forcing him to do so.

    Once this guy knows the inside story, it will be difficult to complete the drama. If he, who is currently closest to Xinjing, shrinks back, does not use all his strength, and assumes a posture of retreating at any time, and uses him to attract the Japanese troops south of Xinjing.  The plan of attention may not be realized.

    In Yang Zhen's view, the bigger the noise Ma Chunsheng makes there and the closer he fights to Xinjing, the more attention he can draw to the Kwantung Army from Western Manchuria, and the more likely it is that the war in Western Manchuria can be guaranteed.  Progress, as for their own safety, Yang Zhen is not too worried.

    As long as the actions of Wang Xiaoming and Liu Changshun continue, even if the Japanese army dispatches reinforcements, there will not be any big problems on their side. They have already entered Shulan, and the forward has entered Jilin, and has already reached the Jiutai area with Ma Chunsheng.  The troops formed a pincer-like coordination and could reinforce and cooperate eastward at any time.

    Moreover, the Japanese army's first-line defense south of the Songhua River has collapsed. Except for those who were encircled and annihilated, the rest of the Japanese troops have retreated to the second line of defense north of Xinjing. There are currently no large Japanese troops north of Xinjing, and  The current situation on the entire battlefield prevents the Japanese army from easily sending reinforcements in that direction.

    As long as he does not hit the last line of defense of the Japanese army north of Xinjing, the Japanese army's counterattack will be too early. As long as Chen Hanzhang's offensive to the west of him continues, compared with the more tense Kailu and Tongliao front lines, the Japanese army's current  The focus of the counterattack will not be on his side.

    If they just counterattack all the way, the Japanese army will weaken the defense on both wings, and if they counterattack across the board, unless the Kwantung Army uses all its strength and mobilizes all the troops on hand to participate in the battle, the Kwantung Army will be in a situation where it cannot take care of both ends, at least until the Japanese army succeeds in their conspiracy.  Before, they would not mobilize all their main forces to fight back. Yang Zhen was still sure of this.

    Without the Japanese conspiracy, Yang Zhen would really be worried about the possible counterattack by the Japanese army. But for now, Yang Zhen can be quite confident that at least until the conspiracy succeeds, their counterattack will not be launched for the time being, unless they want to  My own troops also feed fish.

    As for whether Ma Chunsheng would suffer heavy losses due to his rash advance, Yang Zhen was not too worried. Although Ma Chunsheng was sometimes too courageous, he was still very cautious on the battlefield, even without losing his prudent attitude.  The most important thing is that this guy's nose is also quite sensitive.

    Once he discovers that the surrounding situation is not right, he will also deal with it flexibly. The reason why Yang Zhen did not tell him the true intention of the headquarters was for this reason. If this guy knew the true intention of the headquarters, this guy might not be able to immediately transfer to the headquarters.  Defense, and the current situation is that the headquarters requires him to fight as far south as possible.

    In addition to being sure of the war situation, before he came, he also conveyed the possible conspiracy of the Japanese army to him, asking him to control the intensity of the southward attack, grasp the scale of the southward move, protect his own retreat, and make arrangements according to the situation.  According to changes in the situation, be prepared to withdraw to Jiangbei at any time, and at the same time order the logistics department to prepare ferries in Jiangbei to facilitateAt that time, he went south to meet him.

    Regarding what might happen to Ma Chunsheng, Yang Zhen can be said to have made as complete preparations as possible. As for the rest, he mainly relies on the battlefield commander's ability to adapt to changes in the battlefield. As the commander-in-chief, he cannot always be confident.  It's all over the place. Let's handle everything for the people below.

    As a battlefield commander, if he doesn't even have the agility to respond, how can he entrust the most critical part to him? The choice of this bait must be carefully considered. At least Ma Chunsheng should be placed in this position.  In fact, Yang Zhen still has some confidence.
