    The reason why the two armies cooperated well on the battlefield in northern Shanxi is fundamentally different from that on the Taiyuan battlefield.  The reason why Yang Jicai cooperated well with the two divisions of the two major base areas was because the battlefield was around Taiyuan and there was almost no room for maneuver.  Several divisions and anti-Japanese war troops are all grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can escape.

    The second is also the military and political officer of the two divisions, personally commanding.  With the pressure from their immediate superiors, the troops below did not dare to exert their guerrilla level too much.  At least none of the regiment and battalion commanders below dared to stab these two people.  Compared with the regiment-level cadres below who are accustomed to fighting on their own, these two senior cadres during the Red Army still have vision and skills.

    ¡° If these two military division commanders were not personally in charge and a group of regimental leaders came instead, Yang Jicai would probably have fought this battle far less smoothly than he did now.  First of all, the problem of straightening out the command authority will give him a headache.  Although the guanchi army does not pay attention to job-related relationships, seniority is a fatal issue.

    Maybe, even if he wants to persist, no matter how fat the meat is in front of him, he will have to give up completely.  The most critical thing is that these two division leaders include the commander of the peripheral Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Second Division.  Whether consciously or unconsciously, they were all caught up in the pie drawn by Yang Jicai.

    When I wanted to escape, I found that I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the bold young man in front of me to the end.  Otherwise, whoever evacuates in advance will cause the entire battlefield to collapse.  And when he goes back, his superiors will definitely not be able to spare him.  Even if they bite the bullet, they have to persevere.  In other words, it was the situation that forced everyone to do this.  Therefore, Yang Jicai was much more handy on the battlefield in Taiyuan.

    Regarding the current disharmony in cooperation on the battlefield in northern Shanxi, and even some estrangement in some aspects, Chen Hanzhang is not the only one who has a headache. He is personally commanding the front line.  The acting commander of the Sui Military Region also had a headache, and even the boss in Xing County also had a headache.

    Before this battle, the boss came from Yan'an and was appointed by the chairman to personally rush to the Jinsui Military Region to take charge, not just to supervise the battle.  The boss is here and has always had direct control over all fronts.  In particular, the boss knew very well the performance of the troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region who participated in the war in northern Shanxi.

    As for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, before Chen Hanzhang attacked, he repeatedly asked Chen Hanzhang to give a detailed report to his boss on the daily battle situation.  Therefore, the boss's grasp of the entire battle situation is actually no less than that of Yang Zhen, so the boss is also very troubled by this matter.

    Even before Yang Zhen arrived, the boss had the intention to transfer two brigades back from the Baotou front line to cooperate with the Anti-Japanese War, replacing the original local armed forces with upgraded new units.  These main forces used as the backbone of counter-mopping up operations have much less guerrilla habits.

    It was only after Yang Zhen received three secret telegrams from Chen Hanzhang that he realized the seriousness of the situation.  At this critical moment, he flew from the Tongliao headquarters to the northwest.  The battlefield in northern Shanxi is fought around the Guannei base area. Without the support and cooperation of the Guannei troops, it would be very difficult to win this battle successfully.  If this problem is not resolved, it will also affect the unity of the troops inside and outside the customs.

    Yang Zhen was wondering if there was a solution to the problem. On the incoming plane, he had already considered this solution.  The first method is very simple, to withdraw all troops from the Jinsui Military Region participating in the war from the front-line battlefield.  It is used to transport supplies in the rear, guard prisoners, and ensure the safety of communication lines.

    But this solution seems to be the simplest, but it may also cause the greatest trouble and subsequent impact.  Withdraw all the participating troops in the pass from the front line.  Obviously, it is easy for people to think that I am the best in the world and look down upon all brother troops.  If not done well, it will seriously affect the unity between the two armies.

    The second one is simpler, to transfer a group of cadres from the Anti-Japanese Federation.  Replace all the troops and regiment chiefs of staff of the Jinsui Military Region participating in the war.  At the battalion level, each battalion assigned an Anti-League cadre to serve as deputy battalion commander.  This method is actually simpler and more effective.  But this method will cause more trouble than the first method.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The issue of the command authority of the troops is a headache.  The internal forces do not have clear authority between the military chief and the chief of staff like the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  The chief military officer has always had the final say, and the chief military officer has absolute authority in military command.  The chief of staff has no decision-making power in command, and many troops do not even have the right to make suggestions.

    In the Guan Nei army, in addition to the high command, the responsibilities of the chief of staff at the regiment level are more like a steward of the team directly under the army headquarters, or a senior herald.  When it comes to specific command, it is more the military chief who has the final say. Of course, it turns out that the political commissar still has the final decision-making power.  In terms of specific command of operations, the chief of staff basically has no role.

      During the process of contacting the advancing army, Yang Zhen discovered that the troops from the Taihang Military Region and the 129th Division, which were his old troops, paid more attention to the work of the chief of staff and had clearer responsibilities.  But the troops coming out of other base areas were far behind.  In many brigade-level troops, the chief of staff is even a decoration.

    In fact, this is not a situation unique to the customs forces.  It is basically the practice of all Chinese armies to despise staff work.  According to the Beiyang government's explicit regulations, the chief of staff needs to be demoted by two levels when he is transferred to the position of military chief.  Even among the Central Army, which has the most modern organizational structure and system in Chongqing, the actual role of the chief of staff in many units is very limited.

    The two command systems are different, and even units with different concepts will have many conflicts in command concepts.  These things have already suffered enough from the time when the personnel selected by the Anti-Japanese Federation to form the advancing army were mainly assigned to serve as chiefs of staff.

    Now that personnel are being transferred from the Anti-Japanese Federation to replace the Chief of Staff, unless the boss personally gives the order, the effect they can have will probably be quite limited.  And doing so can easily create some barriers.  In the eyes of many people, they think that their hands are stretched too long.  They are old comrades who have been partners for many years, so it would be very bad for me to rashly intervene.

    When talking about the most critical and urgent problem, Yang Zhen's sudden silence made the boss confused for a short time.  But who is the boss? Although he has a kind personality, his military experience is much older than that of Yang Zhen, a newcomer. The remaining commanders still don't understand the thoughts of his subordinates.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s silence on this issue made the boss quickly figure out the crux of the problem.  The boss clearly knew what Yang Zhen's concerns were.  However, the boss believes that as the most junior and youngest military officer in several major strategic areas, it is normal for him to have concerns in this regard.  This also shows that Yang Zhen is calm-minded and does not have any high fever because of his change in status.

    After hesitating for a while, the boss finally made a decision: "The situation in Baotou has now stabilized. The remaining negotiations are mainly between us and Houtao and Yulin. And judging from the conduct of the chief officer of Houtao,  He will not provoke a conflict at this time. The possibility of conflict in Suixi is almost impossible now."

    "In addition, Baotou is isolated in Suixi. Although there are railway lines connected to the rear, the local area is a poor area after all. A large number of troops stationed there for a long time not only brings a huge burden to the local area, but we are also unable to guarantee logistical supplies.  I think it¡¯s time to call back some of the main players.¡±

    "In this way, I asked the Jinsui Military Region to leave all the cavalry, one regiment of artillery, and two brigades of infantry to be responsible for the defense of the front line from Baotou to Guisui, Tuohetuo. After allocating three regiments, they will be responsible for returning to Guisui.  The remaining troops were immediately transported to the Datong line via the Pingsui Railway as quickly as possible.

    "Now that we have a railway in our control area, we don't have to worry about the extreme fatigue caused by continuous marching and fighting when mobilizing troops. Quickly transferring the main force of the Jinsui Military Region back will not only save the grain reserves in Baotou and Guisui to supply Jin  The northern battlefield can also greatly reduce your pressure."

    "The most important thing is that under the circumstances that there will be no obvious fighting in the short term around Baotou, we can put the greatest effective force on the battlefield in northern Shanxi. Since we have already fought Datong, we must fight this battle  Good. We must not only hold on to the fruits of victory some time ago, but also further stab the Japanese in the heart of North China."

    "We should respond well to the unfounded accusations from some quarters that we are loitering instead of fighting, and that we do not fight Japanese troops but only friendly forces. Let the people of the country take a good look at us and see how determined we are to resist Japan. See if we are sincerely resisting Japan.  Let¡¯s see who is really fighting against Japan.¡±

    "I immediately asked the acting commander in charge of the base area to rush back to the battlefield in northern Shanxi. Except for the two regiments with the best performance, all the remaining regiments currently cooperating in the operation were withdrawn and transferred to the rear garrison.  . After the main force of the Jinsui Military Region returns, all troops will be transferred to Liangcheng for training and serve as reserve forces for the northern Shanxi battlefield. "

    Having said this, the boss looked at Yang Zhen's slightly frowned brows after hearing his thoughts and said: "As you have begun to enter the customs to participate in the war, the transportation lines within the customs have been fully opened, and the international situation has changed, our fighting ideas have also changed.  It¡¯s time to make some changes. The original guerrilla habits of some troops must be changed.¡±

    "Guerrilla warfare is just a way of fighting that we adopt under special circumstances. In the past, in cruel environments and with a shortage of guns and ammunition, in order to survive, there is nothing wrong with adopting a combat mode that is more in line with our own conditions.  , because we didn¡¯t have such deep capital in the past and we really couldn¡¯t afford to lose it.We can¡¯t afford a war of attrition,¡±

    "In the past, the average gun in the army only had five rounds of ammunition. Hanyang-made rifles were all good guns. The ammunition for light and heavy machine guns was less than a base. Very few artillery soldiers had guns and no ammunition. After a battle, they had to find a way to return to the battlefield to pick up ammunition.  The bullet casings must be returned to the superiors for reloading. This condition forces us to adopt this kind of business, where we have to calculate whether it is a loss in every battle."

    "But now the conditions have changed, and the operational requirements have also undergone considerable changes. The way of thinking of many of our cadres at all levels has not been fundamentally changed, and they are unable to adapt to the changes in the new situation. Even though we know that our brother troops are equipped with a large number of  Cars and tanks still insist on destroying roads. As a result, the mobility of the Japanese army has not been reduced, at least it is not visible yet, but it has trapped you."

    "This situation must be changed. We cannot always regard ourselves as guerrillas. The conditions and environment have changed, and our thinking should also change. After this battle is over, not only the troops in the northern Shanxi battlefield will have to  Reorganization and training. Even other base area troops must undergo large-scale reorganization and training. Shandong and the New Fourth Army are far away from each other. If the troops cannot be transferred back, then a group of cadres will be transferred back."
