Although the Japanese are overly ambitious, they have to admit that their accuracy and meticulous attitude in doing things still need to be learned by the Chinese. [.Com text] The weather forecast brought by Michio Yamaoka can be said to be quite accurate.
On the third day after Sasaki issued the order, a snowfall of blizzard level accompanied by a sharp drop in temperature hit the Ning'an and Dunhua areas. This blizzard not only delayed Sasaki's plan to adjust the deployment, but also caused
Yang Zhen could only terminate the training.
There is no way to carry out shooting and actual combat training when the people on the other side cannot see clearly. It is not training, but because they feel that their troops have too many people. Moreover, when the snow has reached waist deep, the speed of snow clearing is too high.
Without keeping up with the speed of snowfall, no training can be carried out.
When Yang Zhen, who was checking sentries at night, personally felt the severe cold of more than 40 degrees below zero, he realized that the winter where he was stationed in what is now Southern Manchuria and the Liaoning area in later generations generally had a minimum temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero.
Warmth. Even the temperatures of more than 30 degrees below zero during winter field survival training in the Daxinganling area further north than here, which is already considered a severe cold winter, are far worse than now. Only now does Yang Zhen know that future generations will live in
How happy people would be under greenhouse gases.
Even though Yang Zhen is now wearing the extremely warm winter clothes specially developed by the Japanese army for the Kwantung Army, Yang Zhen still feels that he cannot withstand the cold outdoors. Looking at the winter clothes on his body, Yang Zhen has to admire the little one.
The meticulousness of the devil's work.
Compared with the winter clothing of the People's Liberation Army decades later, this Japanese army's winter clothing is much bulkier due to the technology of the era, but the thermal insulation performance is not much different, and it is even better in terms of humanization. Only now does Yang Zhen know that later generations
In the last century, the People's Liberation Army's cold-area troops were equipped with old-fashioned winter clothes that were, to a certain extent, imitated by the Japanese Kwantung Army.
The cotton hat has ear protection that can be removed to protect the face from frostbite. The two-fingered cotton gloves keep warm without affecting the use of weapons. The cuffs of the coat sleeves can be removed and used as knee pads when necessary. Although the style is a bit ugly, it has good warmth retention properties.
It's excellent.
Not only is the coat designed extremely scientifically, but even the high-waisted big-toe shoes ensure that thick snow cannot penetrate into the shoe shells and the feet are protected from frostbite. Although the size of winter coats is common for soldiers who enlisted in the Northeast
It's a little short, but it's better than nothing.
Yang Zhen really couldn't imagine what would have happened to his thinly-clad troops in this mountainous area where dripping water turned into ice at minus 40 degrees Celsius if these winter clothes had not been seized in Weihe County. In the past few days, the temperature was over minus 30 degrees, and many old men from the south had
Even the backbone feels a little unbearable. And the current temperature is at least below 40 degrees below zero. Without these winter clothes, I am afraid that this army will collapse from the cold, let alone training and combat.
After checking the sentry, he returned to the war room and looked at Guo Bingxun, who was wearing a thick coat and a Japanese military blanket on his knees. He was sitting in front of the bonfire and didn't know what he was writing. Yang Zhen threw a few words into the bonfire.
After adding a piece of wood to make the bonfire burn brighter, he smiled and said, "Why isn't it better?"
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun put down the pen in his hand, smiled and said: "Fortunately, I have lived in the Northeast for such a long time. I didn't expect that only seven or eight years after leaving the Northeast, the climate in the Northeast is not suitable for me."
"Maybe it was because I was too comfortable in France and the Sichuan Army in the early years and couldn't bear the hardship. As soon as the temperature dropped, I started to have a fever. Fortunately, I got better after taking medicine. Zhang Ting just came over to test me.
My body temperature has already dropped. My illness has delayed a lot of things."
Yang Zhen stretched out his hand in front of the bonfire to bake his almost frozen fingers and said: "Don't talk about you anymore, even I am a little uncomfortable. I went out to check the sentry, isn't it freezing enough? It's not.
Wear gloves, but after a while your hands are almost frozen. The severe cold of more than 40 degrees below zero is like a drop of water turning into ice."
"The severe cold and hunger in Northern Manchuria often make it more difficult to deal with the enemy than the Japanese army. If we were not lucky enough to capture a large number of winter clothing and ammunition from the Japanese army's columns during the attack on Weihe County, as well as collect
There is a lot of food, let alone fighting, even cold and hunger will drag us down."
Having said this, Yang Zhen stood up and went out to look outside. It had been raining all day and night since the night before yesterday. Although the amount of snowfall has decreased, it has turned from blizzard to heavy snow, but there is no sign of it stopping.
Trending weather, he turned around and returned to Mulengzi and said: "If the snow keeps falling like this, the snow in the mountains will become thicker and thicker. Not to mention our training, even our operations will be stopped."
Looking at Yang Zhen who was a little anxious, Guo Bingxun smiled and said: "Commander, don't worry too early. I asked Zhang Ting. The mountainous area in southern Ning'an is known as the Snow Town of Northeast China. It has the highest amount of snowfall in the entire Northeast in winter."
The largest area. Although this snow is somewhat rare, it is not unusual here."
"Although heavy snow has restricted our movements, it has also caused a lot of inconvenience to the Japanese army. At least we are not the only ones who have difficulty moving in waist-deep snow. Even if the Japanese troops are carrying out raids in the mountainous areas north of Dunhua
I am afraid that the network cleanup will be delayed for a lot of time because of this blizzard. In any case, as long as the Japanese do not take action for one day, it can be regarded as buying us one more day."
Having said that, Guo Bingxun looked at the strong bonfire in the brazier and said: "Rather than the weather, I am more worried about Li Mingrui and the others. The temperature has dropped so much all of a sudden. They are in the wild and they have been marching all day.
, it is impossible to even build a wooden raft to keep out the cold. Their winter field training has not started yet, and if they are slightly negligent, they may suffer from large-scale frostbite. The radio signal has not been able to be contacted in the past two days, and I am very worried about them.
.”
"No. There are also many Orion warriors among them who have lived in the mountains for many years, as well as Dong Ping, who has fought guerrillas in the mountains for many years. Mingrui is also very alert, so there should be no problems. Lao Guo,
You have to trust your old subordinates who have been with you for many years." Regarding Guo Bingxun's concerns, Yang Zhen showed high confidence in Li Mingrui.
In response to Yang Zhen's consolation, Guo Bingxun shook his head with a wry smile: "Commander, this is not the warm Sichuan plain, but the mountainous area of North Manchuria, which is more than 40 degrees below zero. This is Mingrui's first time in the Northeast, and there is no protection against the cold.
Experience. If they join up with Dali, Dong Ping and the others, I certainly won’t worry if Dong Ping is experienced. But they are still looking for Dong Ping. It’s not clear yet whether they have joined up with Dong Ping.”
Knowing that Guo Bingxun was worried about his old subordinates, Yang Zhen couldn't say anything for a moment. Yang Zhen knew that Guo Bingxun and Li Mingrui had a deep relationship. If they were in Sichuan, no matter how dangerous the situation was, Guo Bingxun would not worry about Li Mingrui because he believed
With Li Mingrui's ability, there will definitely be no danger.
But this is the Beiman mountainous area where the temperature is more than 40 degrees below zero. For Li Mingrui, who has no experience in living in cold areas or even marching after snow, there are countless dangers hidden in the snow.
It’s just that the people have already set off, and now the radio station has been unable to contact him. No matter how worried he is, he can only wait patiently. However, although the radio station has been unable to contact him, Yang Zhen still has confidence in Li Mingrui. He believes that Li Mingrui can definitely
He safely found Huang Dali and Dong Ping who were operating in Dunhua. He still had great confidence in Li Mingrui.
He glanced at Guo Bingxun, who was worried about Li Mingrui's safety, and thought about it for a moment, but Yang Zhen, who didn't know how to persuade him, changed the topic and said, "Lao Guo, do you think the Japanese army will be fooled?"
"Yes. No matter whether the little devils believe the bait we spread or not, I think they will mobilize their troops to launch a clearing campaign in northern Dunhua. The reason is very simple. As long as they are sure that we are not hiding in the mountains in northern Dunhua, then they can
Target the Ning'an Mountains south of the Binsui Line, our only and last place to hide."
"In this way, the scope of their search will be much smaller. Regardless of whether this information is true or false, for the Japanese army, they have finally found traces of our army, right? With the general target, the Japanese army does not need to
A blind man feels like an elephant, searching for it in these hundreds of miles of deep mountains and old forests."
"However, I estimate that based on the usual style of the Japanese generals, when they conduct searches and suppressions in the mountainous areas north of Dunhua, they will also send out small teams or aviation units to conduct reconnaissance in other places. No matter how concealed we are, in this snow
Future activities in the mountains will eventually leave traces. Although the snow in the mountains limits the movement of the Japanese army, it is also extremely easy to expose the whereabouts of our army. Therefore, Commander, I suggest that we still be prepared for battle."
"At the same time, after Li Mingrui and others come back, I suggest they be released immediately, and we should seize the time to find out the weak points of the Japanese blockade and find the weak points of the Japanese blockade, so as to prepare for a breakout as a last resort."
Having said this, Guo Bingxun hesitated and said, "If they can come back safely."
Regarding Guo Bingxun's analysis, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "I have the same idea. But regardless of whether the Japanese will send reconnaissance planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance in the southern mountains of Ning'an again, as soon as the snow stops, the troops must immediately carry out actual combat training.
Just as you said, after the Japs have failed to clear up Dunhua territory, they will definitely turn their targets to the mountainous areas in the southwest of Ning'an."
After that, Yang Zhen took the map and said: "However, I don't think we should do our actual combat training here. It is best not to expose this secret camp as much as possible. To fight against the Japanese, we need a place to place the wounded and
A base for supplies. We only have this secret camp. Once it is exposed, we will have no where to go."
"Lao Guo, look from Laoheidingzi Mountain to the southwest is the intersection of Zhangguangcai Ridge and Laoye Ridge. The straight-line distance from here is less than 20 kilometers. I went there a few days ago to see the terrain. It has a radius of about 500 kilometers.
hectares, the terrain is good, the entire altitude is about 1,000 meters above sea level, there are two peaks with an altitude of more than 1,700 meters. And there are small pieces of flat land in the mountains. I think it is completely possible to carry out actual combat training. And here is
At the junction of Dunhua and Ning'an, the actual training ground is chosen here, and it can also support Li Mingrui and others."
Regarding Yang Zhen's thoughts, Guo Bingxun pondered for a while and said: "Commander, you took the troops there for training. Have you ever thought about how to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops who entered the mountains to clear out the troops? And the main force was taken away.
Okay, what should we do if we encounter a situation in the secret camp?
"You know, all our supplies are stored here. Once the secret camp is lost, we will lose our only support. The commander-in-chief is also here. If the commander-in-chief is lost, how will the entire Second Route Army look at us?
There are twenty kilometers on the map, and if you walk in the mountains, you have to add at least half of that distance. What's more, in the hinterland of the mountainous area where the snow is waist deep? Once something goes wrong in the secret camp, the main force will rush over.
It’s too late for reinforcements.”
"Commander, we can disperse the supplies. The entire Laohedingzi area is so large, there are many places where supplies can be hidden. I have talked a lot with the cadres of the Second Route Army who came with the commander-in-chief these days, and learned a lot
Their experience. I think we can spread out some of the supplies and build a few more secret camps based on the Second Route Army's guerrilla experience. With the commander's ability, I think we can hide these supplies very well."
"It is true that we are ready for battle, but we cannot be too cautious. For us now, the most important thing to do is to establish more hiding spots and secret camps, so that all materials, except the necessary ones, can be dispersed and hidden.
Part of it can also be used as a place for the sick and wounded.”
"The second is to get the troops into combat effectiveness as soon as possible. We have been hiding here for two months. After these two months of hard training, the troops' tactical literacy and the use of various tactics, except for weapon operation, have been greatly improved from before.
Progress. We may not have the ability to fight the Japanese army."
"Actual combat training does not take long. Our veterans who have participated in combat already have actual combat experience. All they need to strengthen is various firepower coordination training to ensure that there will no longer be a few heavy machine guns that cannot suppress the Japanese."
The light machine gun situation.”
"Compared to veterans who have fought several battles and lack all kinds of collaborative training, these trainings are mainly for new recruits. Some necessary training should be carried out so that new recruits who have not experienced training will not be vulnerable to the artillery fire of the Japanese and puppet troops.
In case of panic, I just want to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance. This kind of training does not take too long, I think five or six days is enough."
"Although the snow will expose part of our whereabouts, as long as we are prepared, we should be able to hide our traces. We can regard the secret camp as our support, but we cannot hang ourselves in a secret camp. As the saying goes
Well, the cunning rabbit still has three holes, let alone us?"
"Commander, I think it is better for this training to be done near the secret camp. First, it allows the soldiers to get a quick rest after being tired from training. It is impossible for people to live in the wild for a long time in the severe cold of more than 40 degrees below zero.
Secondly, it is also convenient for supplies. There are more than a thousand troops in the army. How will we get the supplies there? You can't carry all the supplies on your back, right?"
Having said this, Guo Bingxun raised his head and looked at Yang Zhen and said: "Commander, what is the purpose of our training troops? It is not to stay here and serve as our personal guards. It is to fight against the Japanese, and we will fight out sooner or later."
Now that the army is about to take shape, we must fight early or late."
"The actual commander should know better than me. For a unit, three months of training is more about developing the most basic military qualities and laying some tactical foundations. As for other necessary training, it will take quite a long time.
time."
"Under the circumstances that the situation cannot give us so much time, it has actually become our only option to conduct basic training for the troops and then use them for power training. So Commander, judging from the current situation, I think at most there will be more
We should be able to attack in half a month. Instead of passively waiting for the Japanese to come to our door, we might as well take advantage of the heavy snow to attack."
"Commander, after you told me that day that you asked me to prepare a contingency plan, I have been thinking about it these past few days. Why should we wait for the Japanese to come and beat us after they have completed the clearing of northern Dunhua?"
"Now that the basic tactical training of the troops has been completed, why can't we take the initiative and take advantage of the Japanese troops to attack us? What is the best way to protect the secret camp? It is to destroy the Japanese troops who may besiege us.
Simply diverting their attention is not the best way. Although we can't keep the enemy away from our home, we can't let them reach our door smoothly, right?"
"The Japanese are pulling a net to clear out the northern part of Dunhua. We can take this opportunity to defeat them. After conducting simple actual combat training for the troops, we will disperse and conceal the materials here and quickly move southward. Try to fight a few battles in the northern part of Dunhua to attract more attention.
Some Japanese soldiers blocked their forces and then moved eastward. They either jumped out to fight outside, or looked for opportunities to go into hiding again."
Regarding Guo Bingxun's suggestion to take the initiative, Yang Zhen pondered for a long time and said: "Old Guo, I'm a little too aggressive. You're right. If you want to keep the secret camp, simply diverting attention is not the best way.
