Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yang Zhen knew that his battle had caused a lot of misunderstandings and criticisms within the party and the military. On the surface, he could care less about anyone's criticisms, but in fact, in his heart, Yang Zhen was under great pressure. He also knew that in the central government,  Chairman and CEO are also under a lot of pressure.

    Today, in front of the boss, a generous elder, he simply poured beans into a bamboo tube and expressed his thoughts. Since the launch of the campaign, especially in the Northeast battlefield, the progress of the war has become increasingly cruel, and the number of troop casualties has been increasing rapidly almost every day.  With the increase in pressure, even for Yang Zhen, a man with a heart as strong as iron, he has to bear an unimaginable amount of pressure.

    The newly appointed chairman of the Northeast People's Government approached Yang Zhen many times and asked whether it was necessary to drive such a large battle. Yang Zhen did not understand the chairman's repeated request to reduce the scale of the battle.  After the war, the local government was somewhat overwhelmed by conscription, food requisition, and the resettlement of a large number of disabled soldiers. Especially at this time of war, the pressure brought by rear service had a great impact on spring plowing production.

    Moreover, after the battle, the cleanup of the combat area will also cause a huge headache for the local government. This veteran leader of the labor movement in the party and one of the few economic experts in the party immediately inspected Xinjing after capturing it.  Xinjing in order to do a good job in post-war recovery.

    But as soon as I arrived in Xinjing, I saw that the ruins in front of me could no longer be called a city, and could not even be called ruins. Not to mention the industrial base, not even a single private house was left in ruins. I immediately asked this party economic expert  He left without saying a word. At this moment, there was nothing left to observe in Xinjing.

    After the chairman of the Northeast People's Government left Xinjing, he rushed directly to Tongliao to find Yang Zhen. Although he spoke very restrainedly, the meaning of his words also clearly told Yang Zhen that if this situation and tragedy continue, Northeast China will soon  Some economies and industries will disappear completely. If the Northeast industry is wiped out, no matter how much Yang Zhen builds, he will still be a historical sinner of the Chinese nation.

    Not only Xinjing, but also the major grain-producing areas around Xinjing are about to have spring plowing. If this situation continues, not only will it be impossible to collect grain from these places this year, but a large amount of grain will have to be transferred from the old base areas in Northern Manchuria.  , to provide relief to war victims in the New Area, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for the current Northeast People's Government.

    In addition, many people within the party and the military do not agree with his decision to expand his business to such a large scale all at once, and to build such a large business in industrial construction. The investment is almost going to bring down the Northeast's finances. Once the subsequent construction cannot keep up, in the future  With the huge military and education expenditures, it will completely drag down the entire Northeast's finances.

    Nowadays, there are many conservative people who think that his military rhetoric is too big. The troops are evenly distributed in two directions, which violates the principle of concentration of troops. Especially in this northern Shanxi battle, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief and the Military Commission  Several chiefs of staff disagreed.

    There were also many criticisms about the scale of the campaign. Some people even thought that Yang Zhen was too arrogant and underestimated the Japanese army. In terms of the intensity of operational cooperation, except for the old chief of the Fourth Front Army in the Taihang Military Region and the direct beneficiary Jin  Outside the Sui Military Region, other directions are too slow.

    The speed of troop assembly has always been far from ideal, and the marching speed is even a bit slow. Only after repeated orders from the central government did they begin to cooperate passively. Although the deployment has been started long ago, the actual actions are always a little slow. These problems are all  It brought considerable pressure to Yang Zhen.

    There are just some things that he can talk about when he is the chairman, but for other cadres that some people have never met, such as the deputy commander-in-chief, it is difficult for him to even say it clearly. This requires a lot of time to convince, but he  Then I have the time in the United States to do the work one by one.

    Now in front of the boss, Yang Zhen, who was under heavy pressure, was like a child who had been greatly wronged. Seeing his elders who had always loved him, he vented all the things in his heart, and some things were made clear.  , it¡¯s much better than always being so confused.

    "Just to ensure the smooth progress of industrial construction in Northern Manchuria, we have to fight this battle, and we have to fight it. No matter how high the price is, we have to fight this battle. If we don't fight, there will be no  Without a stable construction environment, there will be no room for us to fully develop.¡±

    "Without taking Xinjing and the areas south of Xinjing and north of Siping Street, our air defense depth is still quite insufficient. Japanese bombers can reach various places in the entire North Manchu base within an hour of taking off from Xinjing.  , it only takes half an hour to get to Harbin.¡±

    "After the battle last autumn, the entire Xinjing has become a cancer that has penetrated deep into our base area. If it is not dug out, the entire rear area will be unstable, and time and stability are what we need most now. A bombardment?It can destroy a steel plant, but it takes us several years, or even more, to build a steel plant.  "

    "What's more, the oil field we are building in the Anda area has completed development and infrastructure construction, and will be officially put into production in two months. The area of ??this oil field almost occupies the entire Nenjiang Plain between the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains.  It extends to the territory of Fuyu and Liaoyuan in the south, and to the junction of the Greater and Lesser Hinggan Mountains in the north."

    "According to current conservative judgments and estimates, its recent reserves will definitely not be lower than the Soviet Union's reserves in the Baku oil field, while its long-term reserves are estimated to be as high as nearly 10 billion tons. If fully developed, the oil reserves in a few years will be  The output will completely exceed that of the Soviet Union before the war."

    "Judging from the quality of the crude oil produced by the test drilling, it is the easiest light, low-sulfur crude oil to refine. The quality and output of the oil there can fully meet all the needs of the Japanese, especially the quality, which is most in line with the Japanese domestic oil refining industry.  The required light crude oil is also the closest to Japan.¡±

    "Boss, although the Japanese currently occupy the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies in Southeast Asia, they still have to travel a long way back to the country by sea, especially after almost the entire coast of China. In order to transport these oil and products back to the country, the route is not only long, but  And it¡¯s quite dangerous.¡±

    "Compared to the Americans, who have a powerful navy, they can cut off this shipping route at any time if necessary. Although it is difficult for the Americans so far for surface ships and aircraft to penetrate deep into the Chinese coast, which is tightly blockaded by the Japanese army, the United States  People also have a large number of submarines. Once the Germans use submarines to strangle them in World War I and now, even if the Japanese seize the oil fields in Southeast Asia, it will be difficult to safely transport them back to the country. "

    "Boss, what I'm talking about is not an exaggeration of the facts, but a method that Americans will inevitably adopt. Americans have a very clear view of Japan's weaknesses. They always use unscrupulous means to win on the battlefield, especially Westerners.  , they won¡¯t be Song Xianggong at all.¡±

    "The war has broken out. Do Americans still have any scruples? Moreover, the Japanese themselves are also very clear about this. It's just that they have the third most powerful navy in the world and don't really care. But  Once the Americans launch a submarine strangulation war against their crude oil transportation lines, maritime transportation will suffer heavy losses.¡±

    "And a world-class large oil field was discovered next to it. Although it is controlled by the enemy, this opponent's continuous combat capability is not strong. Boss, what do you think the Japanese will do? I am not being alarmist. What's more,  Not to judge rashly, this is a fact that will definitely happen.¡±

    "With this premise, will the Japanese, who are desperate, invest heavy troops in an attempt to retake Northern Manchuria despite being hungry, so that they can ensure their own oil supply when necessary, especially when maritime transportation risks are too high?  , if the losses are too large, will the Japanese take action against us to solve their own predicament?"

    "The Japanese founded their country based on their navy. Without oil, their ships and aircraft are just a pile of scrap metal. The transportation distance from Northeast China to the Japanese mainland is not only much closer than the transportation from Southeast Asia, but also the transportation distance from the Korean Strait to the  In addition, basically all transportation is by land, and there are convenient railway lines nearby, so safety is also quite guaranteed.¡±

    "Although it is necessary to pass through the Korean Strait to reach the Japanese mainland, the distance of Korean seafood is more than half shorter than the distance from Southeast Asia to the Japanese mainland. And with the capabilities of the Japanese navy, even now the main force is invested in  On the Pacific battlefield, they are still capable of ensuring the security of Japan¡¯s offshore waters and the waters surrounding North Korea.¡±

    "The most important thing is that the Japanese are very clear about our weaknesses. They know clearly that North Manchuria alone cannot support our long-term war consumption, especially the sustained war potential, which is simply incomparable to the United States and Britain. Although  They have suffered continuous defeats at our hands, but they believe that if they invest heavily in troops, they will consume us completely even if they use manpower. No matter how much weapons and equipment the United States and Britain give us, what will happen if there are no users. "

    "Boss, if this oil field is not developed, we will not be able to guarantee oil supply during the war. Our external channels are all in the hands of the Soviets. This time the Soviets only seized our equipment, so if they seize us next time  What to do about the oil supply?¡±

    "In a short period of time, we will not have replenished tanks and artillery, and our combat effectiveness will not decline too much. However, once the oil is not replenished for a long time, our logistics and most of the technical arms will be paralyzed, and the existing  All kinds of heavy equipment and aviation equipment will not be able to carry out any combat operations."

    "Without a reliable and sufficient supply of oil, no matter how much modern equipment we have, it is of no use. We have an insufficient population base, too few recruits, and insufficient manpower, so we can only use firepower."However, modern equipment is inseparable from modern industrial support, especially a large number of trucks, tanks, and aircraft. Without oil replenishment, they are just a pile of useless scrap metal.  "

    "This is not the first time that this has happened. Last year when the war was intensifying, the oil we imported via the Soviet Union was detained at the Soviet port. We had to do it when the situation was quite favorable to us.  Terminate the operation because relying solely on animal power and manpower cannot satisfy our logistical support. Relying on infantry attack alone will double our battle losses. This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench our thirst."

    "But exploiting this oil field will make Northern Manchuria a key attack target for the Japanese army again. Boss, what do you want us to do? Exploit or not. We simply cannot defend Northern Manchuria with millet and rifles alone."  If the Manchu base area is lost, we will once again become rootless."

    "Instead of passively defending at that time, it is better to inflict pain on the Kwantung Army once and for all, so that they will not dare to take a peek to the north for the rest of their lives, and push the front line as far south as possible to ensure that our rear defense is deep enough.  At the same time, we will seize the grain-producing areas around Xinjing and prepare for the severe drought that may occur in North China this year.
