    Wang Guangyu picked up the back cover of two grenades and placed them at the location of the Alukorqin flag on the map and said: "As for this, you can rest assured, because our key target in the first wave is the 7th Division.  You are right. The two newly formed infantry regiments are indeed difficult to compete with the 7th Division, the old Japanese division. "

    "But if after the seventh division has been weakened to a certain extent by our army's heavy artillery and bombers, we add the main force of the armored brigade and most of the cavalry brigade to use our maneuverability to force a breakthrough from the flanks, you  Think about what this will be like, old man, don¡¯t forget, what is the biggest advantage of our armored group and cavalry group.¡±

    "Although they are not near the main battlefield at the moment, with their mobility and the number of cars we have on hand, I can drop a cavalry brigade and an armored brigade on the Aruhorqin Banner battlefield within six hours.  The main force of the brigade, plus a main force regiment.¡±

    "And if these troops were placed there in advance, would the Kwantung Army still invest an entire division in this direction? The Kwantung Army could only put more troops here, even more than we can absorb in one bite.  In this way, the entire battlefield may become a stalemate. If it really becomes like this, it will be the most detrimental to us. "

    "The Kwantung Army is backed by the main base in the rear, has a short supply line, and relies on the strong industrial support of Southern Manchuria and the mainland behind them. Their sustained combat capability far exceeds ours. Only its Fengtian Arsenal can produce bullets and artillery shells in one month.  It¡¯s equivalent to two months for us.¡±

    "This is still under the situation that our military production and raw materials are sufficient. If the supply of raw materials is not available, then our output in three or four months will not be as good as others in one month. The headquarters has prepared for this battle for half a year.  Hoarding ammunition and supplies, and even spending precious foreign exchange to import a batch of ammunition to supplement our lack of production capacity.¡±

    "There are even some new units that did not change their equipment due to ammunition supply issues. They still use old weapons and equipment instead of new automatic rifles and general-purpose machine guns. However, for us right now, ammunition reserves and production are not  It¡¯s our turn to worry about it. The most important thing now is that the Japanese army is much closer to the supply base than we are.¡±

    "The Kwantung Army has been operating in the Northeast for many years, and since it occupied the Northeast, it has been preparing for war in order to realize its aggressive ambitions. Who knows how many secret warehouses they have in the entire Northeast. Just in Chifeng, Tongliao, and Fuxin around the Linxi battlefield,  There may be Japanese ammunition and material warehouses, and the Japanese supply points on the Linxi battlefield are much closer than ours. "

    "And our nearest supply point to the rear is hundreds of kilometers away. All our supplies must be transported to Nanxing'an by rail first, and then a large number of trucks are used to transport them thousands of miles from Nanxing'an to the Linxi battlefield. This  Supply lines are quite fragile on the battlefield.¡±

    "If the Kwantung Army is determined to destroy our supply line and invest a large number of aviation forces in air strikes, how much will it cost us to meet the needs of our combined infantry, artillery, and cavalry forces? What we have obtained in Outer Mongolia now, and when we set off  The fuel and supplies they carried had been consumed in the previous stage of the battle, and the ammunition, especially the artillery shells, had been almost consumed. "

    "The oil and ammunition currently needed by the troops all need this road to be transported. Although we have a certain amount of reserves on hand now through the headquarters' rush to transport them at all costs, this amount of reserves cannot be maintained at all.  It will take a long time, so it has become our inevitable choice to defeat the Japanese troops in one direction first and stabilize the war situation in Western Manchuria as soon as possible. "

    "I admit that the Japanese counterattack was extremely well prepared in advance, and its cover-up of strategic actions was almost flawless. For such a long time, we did not discover the strength of the several divisions that the Japanese army participated in.  , hidden not far from the battlefield, and even before its counterattack started, we were not able to figure out the specific force it invested. "

    Having said this, Wang Guangyu looked at Yi Jianping's face after hearing what he said, smiled and said: "If No. 1 from the 23rd Division had not put on such a passive posture of being beaten, even in the  Even though our army was about to be wiped out in one go, the Japanese troops from other directions did not carry out any reinforcements, and there was no hint of anything amiss. We might really be caught off guard, and we might even be caught by the Kwantung Army this time.  Fight back and make dumplings.¡±

    "But it is precisely because the Kwantung Army places too much emphasis on concealing its strategic intentions. Before its troops have fully arrived at the planned attack area, or before it has reached what it considers to be the best time to launch a counterattack, it would rather sit back and watch the 23rd Division be passively beaten, or even  Is it a mouthful of ours???Eat it all.  "

    "While greatly weakening the forces they can use to counterattack, it also gives us enough time to achieve the first goal, greatly increasing the forces we can use to maneuver. We also use this period to  A rare opportunity to seize the western part of the Alukorqin Banner and the left and right Bahrain Banners, which greatly expanded the space for our army's activities. "

    "The most important thing is that in order to cover up their strategic intentions, they deployed all the divisions participating in the battle far away from the battlefield. Except for the two divisions that we are hiding in front of and waiting behind the 23rd Division, the rest of the divisions  They are all far away from the main battlefield. When these divisions move from hidden areas to the best areas for attack, it is extremely beneficial for our army to exert our current firepower advantage. "

    "In addition to the fact that the Japanese army launching a counterattack from Wengniute Banner is slightly closer and can be covered by long-range heavy artillery during the entire advance, the seventh division, from the departure area to entering the best attack area, is in addition to outflanking  The longest stretch of the journey outside of the Japanese troops at Chen Hanzhang¡¯s retreat.¡±

    "There will be a small time difference between them and the Japanese troops who launch a frontal attack in the order of entering the battlefield. The Japanese troops on the frontal battlefield will enter the battlefield first. The 7th Division is limited by the distance when the attack is launched.  The time will be delayed.¡±

    "The most important thing is that from the starting position, they entered the area that was really threatening to us, almost crossing the entire Aruhorqin Banner. The headquarters mobilized so much heavy equipment and air support for us in such a short period of time.  We need to make full use of this time difference. As long as we deal with the 7th Division first, we will break a leg of the Kwantung Army's counterattack, and the rest will be much easier to handle. "

    Wang Guangyu's words slowly calmed down Yi Jianping's impatient mentality. Only then did he realize that the deployment of the current war situation in Western Manchuria that once worried him was actually the headquarters. Exactly.  It is said that No. 1 consciously arranged a situation for the Japanese army.

    But after calming down, Yi Jianping was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Guangyu. Although he rarely interfered with Wang Guangyu's military command, after all, he was the political commissar of the entire roundabout unit and the top political chief of the unit. He had  rights, and should also know the headquarters' battle plan.

    But as the political commissar of the entire army, I didn't know that the headquarters actually had such a combat plan until the battle had already begun. Was this because of distrust or something?  There are some differences. The final decision on the battlefield lies in the hands of the military commander.

    According to the regulations of the headquarters, unless ordered by the headquarters, the political commissar has no right to interfere with the command of the military commander. Unless authorized by the headquarters, the political commissar can relieve the power of the military commander. But right now, this difference is too outrageous. As a  The political commissar didn't even know the determination of his superiors and the plans that had been made. He didn't know a rough plan until after the battle started.

    Seeing Yi Jianping nodding, there was a trace of hesitation on his face. Wang Guangyu was not sure. But he couldn't explain this matter very clearly. He could say that this plan was actually not at all  It's not a plan, except for requiring the troops to detour and use their maneuverability as much as possible.

    The rest, in the words of No. 1, could only watch and fight when the enemy's situation was unclear. In other words, No. 1 did not have much in mind for this battle, and the situation at that time was unclear, and no one else could have done it.  Making this decision, Wang Guangyu knew that this decision was probably the most difficult one in No. 1's history and the one he was least sure of.

    Because when we were studying this plan, the comprehensive counterattack against the Kwantung Army was just a judgment based on the situation. As for the actual evidence and intelligence, there was no evidence at all. Not even the intelligence department, which has always been very powerful, sent it.  Any information about this aspect, the Kwantung Army's concealment of the truth this time, can be said to be quite successful.

    The starting point of all these judgments is that No. 1 believed that during the Linxi Battle, other Japanese divisions deployed in southern Manchuria were too quiet. If this matter was told in advance, the listeners would probably be scared out of their wits.  Who would believe that an enemy counterattack is imminent based on some speculation that cannot be called intelligence at all?

    So after formulating the counterattack plan with Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen repeatedly told Wang Guangyu not to talk to anyone except himself. As for the mobilization and deployment of the troops, he, the military commander, was asked to find excuses for himself.  But it is easy for others to say it. It would be bad if the political commissar Yi Jianping did not make it clear. It would easily cause conflicts between the military and the government.

    But Yang Zhen insisted not to tell anyone, so Wang Guangyu had no choice. For Wang Guangyu, who always carried out Order No. 1 without compromise, orders were orders.He must not violate the order, although he also knew that this was because No. 1 did not want to cause confusion in the minds of the troops.

    But keeping secrets secret to the point where even the political commissar can't tell them is really a bit of a problem. In Wang Guangyu's view, there is nothing wrong with keeping secrets secret, but as the political commissar and chief of staff of the roundabout force, Yi Jianping and Sun Wenjiu should still convey the message  For a while, although there may be disputes, it is easier to get a unified understanding this way. However, Yang Zhen firmly opposed it, and Wang Guangyu had nothing to do.

    When Wang Guangyu smiled wryly and explained the reason for keeping it secret to Yi Jianping, the expressions of Yi Jianping and Sun Wenjiu on the side changed. Neither of them expected that No. 1, who was always known for his meticulous thinking, would actually come.  Looking at this, although the arrangement is very thorough and the consideration can be said to be quite comprehensive, it is really unbelievable to do so.

    This is a war, not a fight. If you are not careful, you will pay the price of countless lives. Looking at it, I am afraid that there is no top commander of an army in the world who would command a war based on his feelings like this. If this is true, this army will pay the price with countless lives.  The army is probably not far from defeat.
