    At this point, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "But if you don't move here, they won't move there. The Japanese army spent a lot of money to lure us into taking the bait. If you don't act, they will definitely not move."  Knowing how to act, I still say that, the 23rd Division chose to launch this counterattack at the most inappropriate time, and it was definitely not as simple as retaking Linxi County. "

    "So I say, on the Linxi battlefield alone, it is indeed you who can drag it out, but the Japanese army cannot. In your opinion, the competition now is who is more patient, but in the eyes of the Japanese army, it is not the same.  "If the 23rd Division's counterattack is to hold you back so that they can't get out in a short time, it will be extremely beneficial to their next comprehensive counterattack."

    "Because in the overall situation, it is the Japanese army that can afford to drag it down, not us. In the war, the two sides compete not only in combat effectiveness and equipment, but also in national strength and sustained combat capabilities. Now our military strength has been used to the extreme.  It can be said that the follow-up is weak. If it drags on for a long time, we will be the only ones who will be dragged down. "

    "At the moment, the Kwantung Army would rather sit back and watch the 71st Division, which has become an independent force, be completely destroyed. It would rather watch the two divisions north of Xinjing fight hard and risk our army encircling the Xinjing area. Its deployment is in  The main force in Siping Street and the area south of it is just not moving.¡±

    "They are making a shocking bet. They are betting that our army's ability to sustain combat is far inferior to theirs. They are waiting. What they are waiting for is that the various departments of our army are trapped in a bitter battle. The distance between the various departments is gradually widening, and they are unable to cope with each other.  At that time, although the Japanese army was a little more arrogant, they never acted aimlessly. Every action they took had their own deep purpose. "

    "In this situation, do you think we are patient or the Japanese army is patient? I would rather give up my vow to completely annihilate the 23rd Division and only give you three days to defeat the 23rd Division and break through.  Lin Xi¡¯s front line just doesn¡¯t want you to be trapped in Lin Xi¡¯s situation and unable to escape.¡±

    "So, your preemptive idea would have been a pretty good choice at other times, but now, I don't really agree with it. Again, the action of the 23rd Division is definitely not an accident.  It is not an isolated action. If I predict correctly, it may be the beginning of the Kwantung Army's overall counterattack."

    After speaking, Yang Zhen did not let Wang Guangyu answer him immediately. Instead, he handed over a situation map of the entire Northeastern battlefield indicating the current progress of each column and the deployment of Japanese troops south of Xinjing and west of the Zhongchang Railway.  Open it up and let him think about it for himself.

    In fact, for military cadres like Wang Guangyu, Yang Zhen can actually give orders directly, but for the column-level commander he values ????most, and also the first choice for the future regiment-level commander, Yang Zhen is very rare.  This time he spoke very clearly. He hoped that Wang Guangyu could truly understand and grasp his strategic intentions instead of passively executing them.

    Wang Guangyu is a talented person. He is thoughtful, not rigid, and flexible enough. However, due to the limitations of his position and personal experience, his strategic vision is somewhat lacking. When will he make up for this shortcoming?  That's when he really grew up.

    Although it is not a good way to cultivate children by forcing them to grow, for people like Wang Guangyu who are willing to work hard, it can sometimes play a role in accelerating his growth. Therefore, when Yang Zhen faces Wang Guangyu, he will usually  After stating his strategic intention, Wang Guangyu was left to figure out what to do next.

    Among the current first-level generals of the Anti-Union Column, the two most valued by Yang Zhen are Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang, followed by Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei. In Yang Zhen's opinion, as long as they are carefully cultivated and given more opportunities, these four people will succeed.  In the future, they will all be completely independent candidates.

    Chen Hanzhang is good at using troops, has great endurance, and has a strong ability to absorb and understand new tactics. He is a rare military and political talent. Du Kaishan is bold and careful, and has a strong ability to seize opportunities. He is especially good at chasing and taking advantage of the sword.  , he can even capture the enemy's cooks and grooms for you without giving orders.

    Tao Jingfei's character is somewhat similar to Wang Guangyu's, he is steady but flexible. Although Tao Jingfei is slightly less stable than Wang Guangyu, he has a little more flexibility, and these people have one thing in common.  His characteristic is that he has an unusually persevering temperament and would rather bend than bend. He is the kind of person who sticks to the mountains and never relaxes.

    There are also a large number of cadres such as Wang Xiaoming, Cao Yafan, Wang Minggui, etc. who are all rare talents. Yang Zhen believes that as long as these people are carefully cultivated and given opportunities, they will prove their strength with facts on the battlefield, instead of being like  According to the original history, it is destined to become only a shooting star.

    It turns out that when later generations look at the history of the Anti-Japanese War, in addition to? Also unknown, it is not known whether he died in the Japanese 731's den or whether he died outside Du Kaishan on the battlefield. Yang Zhen was not too impressed by the abilities of Wang Guangyu and the other three.

    But after really getting to know them, I discovered that it was not that they were incapable, but that the original weak structure of the Anti-League had limited their performance. If they were given a suitable world, their achievements would not be inferior to those in the country at that time.  It is precisely because of their premature sacrifice that any of the generals were unable to shine and show their abilities to the world.

    It was not until he truly integrated into this era that Yang Zhen truly understood the hardships of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and even more understood those anti-Japanese generals who became meteors before they had time to show their talents. If they were given a bigger stage,  Even if it was a slightly better environment, they would create a miracle among the white mountains and black waters.

    However, the Anti-Japanese Alliance has never been able to really open up the situation, which has restricted them from exerting their talents. As the situation has deteriorated sharply, these people who should have become famous generals have missed out on the opportunities they should have received because of their premature sacrifice.  It is their honor, and the situation in the Northeast has undergone tremendous changes.

    It is no longer the same as when they could only sit in the mountains and forests before. Now is the time for these people to truly display their talents. It is precisely because of this that Yang Zhen hopes that these people can grow up as soon as possible.  Showcase your talents on a bigger stage.

    China, which has a history of five thousand years of civilization, has never lacked passionate men. Famous generals are like the stars of the Ganges, emerging in endlessly. In modern China, the reason why China has been defeated repeatedly is not because of the lack of handsome talent and talent.  General talent is more of a political reason.

    Many people who should have become brilliant, but due to other reasons that should not have appeared, either withdrew from the stage of history early, or could only spend their military careers in obscurity. As long as they are given the opportunity to give full play to their talents,  With their abilities, Yang Zhen is confident that he will make them into a generation of famous Chinese generals, although they may not be immortal.

    As for Liu Changshun, Yang Zhen believed that he was unable to bear too much responsibility due to his innate character shortcomings. The advantage of this guy was that he was stable, but his disadvantage was that he was too stable and had poor adaptability.  If you take the slightest risk and let him take command, there will be no big defeat. There will be some minor setbacks at most, but it will be difficult to achieve big results.

    However, Liu Changshun has an advantage that others do not have, that is, he almost unconditionally obeys the orders of his superiors. If you ask him to stick to a position, if you do not receive the order, even if you kill him, he will not retreat.  However, due to capacity limitations, at most he can only be a column commander.

    Ma Chunsheng is a wild horse. If he can't control it well, he might injure the rider. It will take some time to practice. At least he has to put on his bridle. Although these subordinates are all  He is older than Yang Zhen, and the youngest Chen Hanzhang is one year older than him, but Yang Zhen has a very deep understanding of the temperament and temperament of these people.

    It is precisely for this reason that his training methods for each person are also different. For people like Wang Guangyu, he has always pointed out only the key points, and let Wang Guangyu figure out the rest by himself. In many cases, he even gives Wang Guangyu  When Guangyu assigned the mission, there was only a map showing the situation between the enemy and ourselves.

    Just like now, after he figured out his thoughts, he only gave Wang Guangyu a situation map of the enemy and ourselves. As for how to mobilize and deploy troops, he did not provide any advice, but Yang Zhen believed that Wang Guangyu would make decisions based on the entire battlefield situation.  He makes his own best judgment. Wang Guangyu has this ability and should make the judgment that best suits the overall situation.

    While Wang Guangyu was meditating, Yang Zhen did not interfere with Wang Guangyu's judgment and thinking. Instead, he stood at the door of Wang Guangyu's headquarters with his hands behind his back, looking at the green mountains in the distance, and Li Li, who was outside the headquarters and looking at the surrounding situation vigilantly.  Mingbo and his men, to be honest, the sudden full-scale counterattack by the Japanese army was also a surprise for Yang Zhen.

    So far, except for the Japanese troops on the Twelve Tu side, there has been no movement from the Japanese troops in other directions. Including the Japanese troops on the side of the loopholes that I am most concerned about, or should be said to be the loopholes I consciously left, there is also no movement.  In other words, I judged that the Japanese counterattack on the Twelfth Front was not an isolated action, but there was currently no response from other directions.

    Could it be that I really made a mistake in my judgment? The action of the 23rd Division in Twelve Tu was really just an isolated, or a desperate struggle, or that their actions in Twelve Tu were neither an attack in the east nor an attack in the west.  A desperate move, but a feint to retreat.

    No, if the 23rd Division wants to retreat, the real option is just a feint.In other words, the location they chose should definitely not be Twelve Spit. Any movement they made in that direction would not be enough to cause a shock to the whole situation, let alone be able to bear the burden of covering the retreat.

    The innate geographical location of Twelve Tutu determines where it can only attract its own attention, but cannot cover its retreat. The Japanese army is not a fully mechanized force. Once there is a pursuer behind it when retreating from there, although the entire army cannot be said to be herding sheep, it can  However, the covering troops had no danger to defend. If the Japanese army launched a counterattack along the south bank of the Gastai River, it would be much safer to cover the retreat than to cover the front line of Twelve Tu.

    Moreover, if the 23rd Division really wants to retreat, the Japanese troops in other directions will not make any moves. But now the other fronts are too calm, so calm that it is a bit scary. The general retreat of a division still has no flank cover, support and support.  It is self-evident what will happen if the opponent is equipped with a large number of cavalry and tanks.

    Regardless of whether the 23rd Division retreats to the Bahrain Right Banner in the northeast or the Wengniute Banner in the due east direction, most of the terrain it passes through is grassland, sandy land, and a few low mountains and hilly landforms.  Under such terrain, a general retreat without cover and support will undoubtedly put your head under the muzzle of the opponent's tanks and cavalry.
