The codename of this battle: Thunder!
The time of this battle: from now until the commander announces the end of the battle.
The scope of participants in this battle: All troops directly under the independent column, field troops, security forces, militia, various agencies, enterprise party members, cadres, and employees in the area controlled by our independent column are participants.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Thunder Battle until victory! Our army has specially established two headquarters, "forward operations" and "rear support".
Leading members of the rear support command: Zhong Shoufu, Jin Zhiyuan, Chen Xinzhong, Huang Yuqing, Xiao Fei, Lin Qinghua; Zhong Shoufu, the first chief of the rear support command.
Leading members of the forward combat headquarters: Wu Aihua, Xiang Y, Chen Y, Su Yu, Xia Zhongqing, Cheng Liang, Fu Lin, Zhang Guanglu; the first chief of the forward combat headquarters Wu Aihua, the second chief Xiang Y, and the third chief Chen Y.
Our army's forward operations are divided into four combat clusters:
The first combat cluster: Comrade Qi Yeguo serves as the first commander of the cluster, and the brigade and above commanders of each participating unit serve as cluster command members. It has jurisdiction over the 5th Marine Division, the Teaching Brigade, the Armored Brigade, the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 2nd Air Defense Brigade, and the Longyan Garrison
The brigade has a total of 70,000 people. The key point of this group's operations is to rely on the Boping Ridge permanent fortification group to carry out sniper attacks on the enemy, and the enemy must not be allowed to cross the Boping Ridge!
The second combat cluster has Comrade Zhuang Xizhen as the first commander of the cluster, and the brigade and above commanders of each participating unit serve as cluster command members. It has jurisdiction over the 2nd Marine Division, the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade Regiment, the Light Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Air Defense Brigade Regiment, and the Light Infantry Regiment.
The Yong'an Garrison Brigade has a total of 50,000 people. The main focus of this group's operations is to guard and counterattack to ensure the security of the northeastern part of our base area. Note that this combat group can abandon Yong'an, Qingliu, Ninghua and other counties if necessary.
The third combat cluster is headed by Comrade Xia Zhongqing as the first commander of the cluster, and the brigade and above commanders of each participating unit are the cluster command members. It has jurisdiction over the Meizhou Marine Garrison Brigade, Jiexi Garrison Brigade, and Chaoshan Garrison Brigade, with a total of 16 garrison regiments of nearly 50,000 people
.The main points of operations of this cluster are defensive counterattack operations, to guard against the attack of the Guangdong army, to ensure the security of the southwest of our base area, and to cooperate with the fourth cluster in operations when necessary.
The fourth combat cluster is headed by Comrade Su Yu as the first commander of the cluster, and the brigade and above commanders of each participating unit are the group command members. It has jurisdiction over the 1st Marine Division, the 3rd Marine Division, the 4th Marine Division, the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade Regiment, and the Air Defense Group.
The 1st Brigade Regiment, the Lightning Special Forces Group, the Swordfish Commando, the Headquarters Guard Group, and the Ruijin Guard Brigade have a total number of just 100,000 people. The key point of this group's operations is to attack and advance!
In this battle, the 1st Air Force Regiment of the Independent Column is responsible for battlefield support in the direction of Longyan and Yong'an; the 2nd Air Force Regiment leaves a fighter group to guard the east of Guangdong, and the remaining forces accept the command of the 4th Combat Group to participate in operations in the Jiangxi direction."
"Bah bang bang..." As soon as Chen Y finished speaking, the division commanders and brigade commanders applauded violently! Because there is a very important idea in this battle plan, which is to give the national army a thunderous blow.
Attack, and take the opportunity to occupy the entire territory of Jiangxi and Fujian. Most of the division commanders and headquarters directors had participated in the discussion of these ideas before. It can be said that this is a product that concentrates the wisdom and will of the commanders and fighters of the entire army.
The independent column has had no combat missions for almost 8 months. It is training every day. It was training before the expansion of the army, and it was also training after the expansion. According to some squad leaders and soldiers, one person can already deal with three people from the national army, and they are still training.
, in the later stage, the soldiers had great opinions, asking why the commander didn't take us out to fight.
Now, the combat mission has finally been issued, and the little bastards under my command are squealing with excitement again.
"The third item of the meeting, please ask Xiang Y, political commissar of the independent column, to give campaign instructions!" Xia Zhongqing said immediately after the applause subsided.
"Comrades! I think this battle can best be expressed in eight words. Which eight words are: 'The task is arduous and the future is bright.' The task is arduous, which means that the national army is pressing down on the border. The number of the national army is that of our army."
Three times the number of people, the combat task is very arduous; the future is bright, which means that after this battle, the national army will no longer be able to attack our base areas, and Chiang Kai-shek will no longer be able to adhere to the wrong policy of peace at home before resisting foreign aggression. In other words,
After this battle, the large-scale civil war will most likely end!
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this campaign and ultimately realize the operational intentions of the column party committee and headquarters, I have three requirements for everyone:
First, all participating troops, whether in the front or behind, must focus on one goal, that is, everything is for the front, and everything is for victory! Comrades at the front must not be afraid of sacrifice and bravely annihilate the enemy, and comrades at the rear must do various support tasks.
Especially comrades in the transportation and health departments, if you make a small mistake, it will cause more sacrifices to the comrades at the front.
Second, commanders at all levels must keep in mind the "scientific decision-making" that the commander usually said, dare to fight, be good at fighting, and formulate practical battle plans based on the changes in the campaign and the actual situation on the battlefield, so as to achieve victory at the minimum cost.
The biggest victory!
Third, party committees at all levels, cadres at all levels and all party members, especially the political commissars, instructors, and instructors of the army must give full play to their role as model vanguards. In wartime, they must be in the forefront; in peacetime, they must do a good job in the ideological work of cadres and soldiers.
.It is necessary to provide strong organizational and ideological guarantee for the victory of the battle."
"For the fourth item of the meeting, please ask Comrade Wu Aihua, commander of the independent column, to give instructions." Xia Zhongqing controlled the rhythm of the meeting.
"Comrades, the Independent Column has formed many fine traditions or habits since it was founded in Rongshuping. I won't say much about other things, so I will just talk about these traditions and habits.
First, our independent column never engages in loss-making business. This is true in fighting, production, and everything we do. The assessment of the independent column’s combat merits must take into account costs. Don’t forget it. Some people say, Wu Aihua, you look like
Businessman. I am very happy about this, but I am more fussy than a businessman. Because if a businessman cannot settle accounts, he will lose a little money at most; but if the commander of the army cannot settle accounts, it is the soldiers who will lose.
Life! Whoever does not take the life of a soldier seriously, I will not take his official title seriously! When the battlefield environment allows for better means of annihilating the enemy, we cannot let the soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices. Of course,
What I say is not against sacrifice, but to see whether the sacrifice is worth it or not; it depends on whether the commander considers the relationship between victory and sacrifice in his specific command behavior.
Second, independent column operations emphasize mobility and flexibility. First and second combat groups, although the strategic points require defense and defense is the priority, there should also be necessary counterattacks. However, this battle is about
Major, the counterattack must match other strategic clusters in the entire campaign. In the early stage of the campaign, the mission of the first and second clusters is to hold the enemy in place and not allow the enemy to escape easily, let alone allow the enemy to easily invade the base area. When the fourth cluster obtains
A major breakthrough, but when the enemy troops on the eastern front are unstable and show signs of wavering or retreating, they must attack decisively, intersperse, and fight bravely. This time, the national army has concentrated 800,000 troops, and our army will not leave 200,000 prisoners.
Wouldn’t it be a huge loss?
Third, there are some new elements in this operation. It is estimated that the Chinese army will dispatch aircraft to bomb our cities and forward positions, and our army also has anti-air force, air force and tank units. Although it has been practiced many times in the combined force drill
Combination of infantry and artillery, and combination of infantry and combat, but that was just a drill, and this time it was actual combat. To achieve the effect of drills in actual combat, it depends on commanders at all levels using their brains. Battles, battles, are a contest of courage and artillery fire.
, is also a contest of wisdom.
Finally, after the meeting, the commanders of each unit should immediately go to the staff headquarters to receive their unit's combat mission, and they must arrive at the combat location on time as required!"
Wu Aihua gave an order, and the war machine of the independent column started running at high speed. The busiest ones were the logistics department and the equipment department. Before the troops and horses were moved, food and fodder went first. Before the war meeting was held, the column requested the supplies of each unit.
The person in charge came with him. During the column meeting, each unit also received relevant supply indicators, including variety, specifications, quantity, collection location, etc.
When the independent column entered the battle point, the central government in far northern Shaanxi was also paying close attention to the situation in the southeast.
Due to the emergence of Wu Aihua, history has undergone tremendous changes. When the Fourth Red Army joined forces with the First Red Army, the First Army had 5,000 more or less soldiers than in history, and the Independent Detachment, as an army, clearly supported Zhu
, Mao and the powerful Red Army forces of the Central Committee played a strong restraint on Zhang Guotao. Therefore, Zhang Guotao did not dare to establish a separate Central Committee as in history, nor did he forcefully lead his troops to attack Ya'an in western Sichuan.
The Red Front Army and the Fourth Front Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi had a total strength of 80,000, which was much stronger than the same period in history.
In August 1935, when the independent detachment reported their expansion plan, Zhang Guotao himself was even more cautious when looking at the size of the 250,000-strong Red Army and the deployment of the navy, air force, armored force, air defense force, and heavy artillery force. He Zhang Guotao calculated
What, he doesn’t even have a 75mm mountain cannon, but the Independent Detachment (Independent Column) Marine Regiment is equipped with 12 105mm howitzers and 18 75mm mountain cannons.
When the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, the independent column sent a recommendation message to the central government after research: "Conserve strength and wait for opportunities; defend in an all-round way and have limited counterattacks!" This recommendation message was sent to all cadres at the division level or above of the independent column.
sign.
At a cadre meeting at a high level of the Central Committee, after the Central Committee read out the reorganization plan and proposals for the independent column to the participating cadres, some Red Army cadres were so excited that they cried on the spot, "The Red Army, the Red Army, finally has a force that can't lose to the Kuomintang."
Strength!"
Many people suggested that the central government should telegraph the independent column to lead the entire army to northern Shaanxi to join the Central Red Army in order to completely break the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army.
However, this suggestion was opposed by all members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
