After asking what he wanted to know, Yang Zhen ordered people to place Guo Dachun. Yang Zhen turned around, summoned Guo Bingxun and Li Yanping to his side, pointed at the map and said: "No matter whether this guy's words are credible or not, but
What he said is the only valuable information we have now. [.Com text] I think our next deployment can be implemented based on what this guy said for the time being."
Li Yanping, who had just heard clearly the words of Yang Zhen, Li Mingrui and Guo Dachun, heard Yang Zhen's thoughts and said with some confusion: "Captain, do you believe this guy's words so much? What if this guy is Japanese?"
He is pretending to be a fake spy and deliberately deceives us. If we deploy according to what he said, we will probably suffer big losses. Captain, this possibility is not impossible."
"Knowing people but not their hearts, we'd better be wary of these puppet Manchukuo military and political personnel. If we can be 60% trustworthy in his words, it's already pretty good. Especially the Japanese troops he mentioned are still there.
Are the ferocious Japanese soldiers simply traders? Is this possible? If I tell him, I’m afraid he himself won’t believe it.”
Regarding Li Yanping's concerns, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Of course I don't absolutely believe what he said. As for the information he told us, we cannot believe it completely or disbelieve it before we verify it."
"Now that the mountains are covered with snow up to their waist, neither we nor the Japanese and puppet troops will move too fast. This time, the little devils have changed their past style and used the Japanese army as the main force. And since they cannot give full play to their mechanized advantages, for this
It will be even more difficult for the troops of the Fourth Division who have just been transferred from Japan and have not trained in Northeast China for a long time."
"So I suggest that we follow Guo Dachun's confession and use this time difference to send out three reconnaissance troops to conduct close reconnaissance along the Japs marching route he confessed to determine the authenticity of this intelligence."
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, you see, the Japanese army is divided into three groups to suppress the mountainous areas in northern Dunhua. Although the strength of almost each group is equal to ours at last, the distance between the three groups is very large. Especially they do not have the strength in the mountainous areas in northern Dunhua.
The map is very unfamiliar to this place. And we, Huang Dali and Dong Ping, have been here for a while, and we have a relatively clear understanding of the terrain here. This is the most advantageous thing for us."
"In addition, we are in the dark and they are in the light. We are very clear about their advancing route, but they still have no idea where we are hiding. Regardless of the weather or the enemy situation, in fact, now
This is not the best time for the Japanese to enter the mountains. We don’t understand why they acted out of character. But we don’t need to understand now. The enemy’s situation is already translucent. The rest depends on what we do.”
"As long as we defeat one or two lines of Japanese troops, judging from the Japanese army's consistent style of rescuing people in the face of death, we can effectively mobilize the troops deployed around them and tear the blockade they deployed around Zhang Guangcai Ridge to pieces.
By then, whether we are going east, west, or even south, there will be no hindrance."
"However, the political commissar, no matter whether what he said about the deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops is true or false, one thing is definitely true. That is the style of the troops of the Fourth Division. He is definitely not wrong. Although the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army
It was one of the first well-established Class A divisions formed by the Japanese army, but because its troops were recruited in Osaka, they were mainly small traders. According to its folk customs, it is not surprising that this fourth division developed this habit."
"Especially the Eighth Regiment. During the Southwest War during the Meiji Restoration, although it was personally commended by the Emperor of Japan due to heavy combat casualties, it was also the only unit among the Japanese divisions to receive such an honor. But
During the Russo-Japanese War, it was called the Eighth Regiment that was not afraid of defeat due to repeated defeats."
"The combat tenacity of this old division of the Japanese army, especially its determination to fight to the death, is not comparable to other divisions of the Japanese army, even its newly formed ad hoc divisions composed of retired veterans and newly formed divisions.
compared to."
"The long-term business habits have made the style of this division less brave and tenacious than other Japanese divisions, and a little more tactful. If you are desperate, you may bite back. But as long as Dan Fen has a way out,
They will never resist to the death. I once heard someone who is familiar with the Japanese army say that if there are two divisions in the Japanese army that cannot be beaten the most, one is the Guards Division known as the Emperor's personal soldiers, and the other is this
The Fourth Division was organized based in Osaka."
"However, having said that, we must not underestimate the Japanese Eighth Regiment. After all, it is one of the oldest divisions of the Japanese army. Its equipment and tactical qualities are no different from other veteran regular divisions of the Japanese army.
This is also our first contact, so we still need to verify whether its combat effectiveness is as legendary."
"Of course we can despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically. We must remember that there is no weak force in the Japanese army, and this is it. Legends are legends, we can listen to them, but we must not believe them all. If even
If we believe the legend, we won’t even know how we died.”
After that, Yang Zhen raised his head and said to Li Mingrui: "Immediately leave one team behind, divide all the reconnaissance teams into three parts, and find out for me the specific marching route and number of these Japanese troops. And this time
Huang Dali will not go with you on the mission. He has another mission."
Huang Dali, who was standing next to Li Mingrui, was slightly startled when he heard that he was actually left behind on this mission. He would never forget what Yang Zhen said to the three of them when they were about to set off from Lao Heidingzi's secret camp.
Extra words: "You must be more careful in this mission. Your safety determines the safety of the secret camp. Not only that, you will also be the eyes and sharp knives of the army in the future, so the three of you must give me the entire army."
Bring it back."
Yang Zhen's words have always been on Huang Dali's mind. He knows how much Yang Zhen attaches importance to these small teams, which can be said to be still in their infancy. Now that the whole army is dispatched, it is obvious that a big battle is about to happen. Why would he be transferred out at this juncture?
?"Did I make any mistakes? No?"
Looking at Huang Dali, who was confused because he was transferred out, he probably didn't understand his order. Yang Zhen patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't think so wildly. I transferred you out because I have another task to hand.
for you."
"Our entire army is attacking this time, but the rear is empty. Only a platoon led by Lao Peng is holding on to the secret camp. That is our foundation. I am still a little worried about the lack of troops. Lao Peng is not a military cadre, so he may be lacking in experience.
That’s why I transferred you back.”
"You are a veteran. You know exactly what to do, so I won't say anything more. I only ask you one thing, that is, you must assist Director Peng and protect the secret camp. But once the Japanese and puppet troops invade in large numbers, if it really
You must protect Lao Peng for me. I don’t need the supplies, but if something happens to Lao Peng, I want your head."
"Captain, I have no problem with you sending me back to the secret camp. I may not be able to wait until this battle is over before leaving. You also know that we have been marching in the deep mountains and forests all day just to wait for this day. But now you will
If I transfer it back, is there something wrong?"
Although Huang Dali didn't finish speaking, Yang Zhen also knew what he wanted to say. Yang Zhen looked at Huang Dali, who was a little aggrieved, and said with a faint smile: "Are you trying to say that I am a little unreasonable?
I took the lead and prepared the table. Even you were seated at the table, but I kicked you out. Is it a little too inhumane? If you really think so, say it. I can change someone and let Dong Ping go."
"No, captain, I really don't think so. I really just want to finish this battle before leaving. If you let me leave now, I will leave immediately." Hearing Yang Zhen's harsh tone, Huang Dali
He waved his hands quickly.
Looking at Huang Dali, who was a little flustered and eager to explain, Yang Zhen said earnestly: "Dali, you are a veteran who came from Hubei, Henan, and Anhui and participated in the Long March. I don't need to say more about the importance of the base area. Our entire army
When dispatched, only one platoon is left in the secret camp. Once the secret camp is really lost, the army will be like a rootless duckweed."
"You have been fighting in these deep mountains and old forests for a month, but you can guarantee that all the spies sent by the Japanese and puppet troops to the secret camp will be wiped out by you? This is not the Japanese army around here. Once the secret camp is exposed, the Japanese army will
The puppet army launched a massive attack, and you are willing to let the brothers from that platoon die in vain?"
"Why did I choose you to go back instead of Mingrui? It's because you are a veteran and have participated in the Long March. You have experienced various situations and your experience is among the best here. You know what to give up when necessary? If you don't go back, will you let me go?"
Shall I go back?"
Yang Zhen's beating made Huang Dali calm down and he did not dare to argue anymore: "Captain, I understand what you mean. I will set off right away and return to Lao Heidingzi's secret camp. Please rest assured, it's us
Everyone has been sacrificed, but Director Peng’s safety must be protected.”
Regarding Huang Dali's guarantee, Yang Zhen seemed to be a little disbelieving and said: "Are you really willing and not forced?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's somewhat suspicious tone, Huang Dali quickly stood up and said: "I will never force you. I am a veteran, and I still understand the importance of obeying orders."
After sending Huang Dali away, the commander-in-chief, who stood watching Yang Zhen beat Huang Dali without expressing any opinions, smiled slightly and said: "Captain Yang, he uses both hard and soft tactics to make people convinced, but also pays attention to the method. I really can't see it.
Commander Yang is young, but he is so experienced in leading troops. The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared."
Yang Zhen smiled and did not answer the commander-in-chief's emotion. Repairing this Huang Dali was nothing more than a piece of cake compared to the soldiers he led in later generations who were arrogant and had eyes on their heads.
If the commander-in-chief had seen those bird soldiers brought by Yang Zhen in later generations, I am afraid the commander-in-chief would not have sighed like this.
After first seeing off Huang Dali, who had returned to the secret camp, and then seeing off Li Mingrui, who had left the team to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, Yang Zhen began to make final preparations for the battle. Ammunition and cadres had been adjusted, and although there were not many preparations needed,
The troops have been trudging through waist-deep snow for days, which consumes a lot of physical strength. It is still necessary to take a short and appropriate rest.
Li Mingrui acted very quickly and sent the intelligence back one after another on the third day. After carefully reading the intelligence sent back by Li Mingrui, Yang Zhen handed the telegram to Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun and said: "It seems that Guo Dachun's confession is still true. The Japanese army
As expected, the troops are divided into three groups. The southeastern one starting from Xiaoshanzuizi is the strongest group."
Li Yanping put down the telegram in his hand, looked at Yang Zhen and said: "Captain, here are three tables of guests. Compared with us, the troops on each route are at least not at an absolute disadvantage. But we only have these people, the snow is so thick, and they are extremely maneuverable.
Difficulty, how are you going to fight?"
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said to Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun: "Political Commissar, you see. The Japanese army formed three routes: west, south, and southeast to clear the northern part of Dunhua. Among the three routes, the southeast route has the strongest troops, while the south route
The Japanese army is the weakest, which means that if we attack the other two Japanese armies, the Japanese army on this route will have the least pressure for reinforcements."
"I don't know the real reason why the Japanese troops moved the weakest group to the middle, but I do know that this group of Japanese troops will put the least pressure on us no matter which one of the other two Japanese groups coordinates."
"Choose one of the three, and I won't choose him. Because it seems that this one is the weakest among the three Japanese armies, but it is also the closest to the strongest southeast one, and the terrain is also the most convenient. Of these two routes,
Although there are large swamps between the Japanese armies, in the current severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius, even the large lakes are frozen solid. Therefore, these swamps cannot serve as a natural barrier between the two Japanese armies.
"
"Once the Japanese troops on the south route are lost, the Japanese troops on the southeast route can reinforce them as quickly as possible. Therefore, I will not choose the Japanese troops on this route. The combined strength of the Japanese troops and puppet troops on the southeast route greatly exceeds ours. We do not have this yet.
Have a good appetite to devour them. So based on the current situation, if most people want to fight, they can only choose to fight the Japanese troops on the west route."
"The Japanese troops on this route are relatively far away from the other two Japanese troops, and the mountains in the middle are dense and dense, which is conducive to our army's maneuverability in setting up ambushes. Moreover, although the Japanese troops on this route are roughly equal to our troops, we can consume their troops by setting up ambushes one after another.
.Finally work hard and kill him. So most commanders with a little bit of adventurous spirit will do this."
"And judging from the current situation we are facing, as long as we capture one of them, our entire game will be alive. Look at these three Japanese routes, which one should we choose to attack?"
Regarding Yang Zhen's analysis, several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they felt that these three Japanese armies were all hard fruits, but they couldn't eat any of them. Especially Guo Bingxun, who had fought in the Battle of Taierzhuang, he had no feelings for the Japanese army.
I know my strength very clearly.
He knew that even a well-equipped division of the Central Army might not be able to kill a large group of the Japanese army. Among the three Japanese routes, the southern route, which had the smallest strength, had a total strength of Japanese and puppet troops no greater than his own.
Don't go there. Guo Bingxun, who has dealt with the puppet troops here more than once, knows that when necessary, the combat effectiveness of these puppet Manchu troops is still very strong.
The real combat effectiveness of the two squadrons of the Japanese army plus the two companies of the puppet Manchukuo army is at least equivalent to that of three Japanese squadrons. However, the total number of our own troops is only a thousand men. Even if the training effect of these three months is not large,
, but it didn’t have the strength to eat up a Japanese brigade in one go.
You know, what Yang Zhen said in his tone is not a guerrilla war, but a war of annihilation. The enemy forces on the west route are still stronger than those on the south route. It is really difficult to eat them in one go. Once the fight reaches a stalemate, this
If the Japanese and puppet troops reinforce quickly, they themselves will suffer the consequences. You must know that the Japanese troops on the west route seem to be isolated, but there are a large number of Japanese and puppet troops outside the mountains behind them, and they can enter the mountains for reinforcements at any time.
Looking at Yang Zhen who was looking down at the map, Guo Bingxun and Li Yanping looked at each other, hesitated for a moment and then opened their mouths: "Commander, I don't think we have the strength to swallow any of the three groups of Japanese troops. I don't think we can swallow them.
It would be better for us to take advantage of the Japanese army's large-scale invasion into the mountains, march at dawn and night, look for weak points in the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops, and rush out. We only have this strength at hand now. If the consumption is too large, what will we do in the future? What will happen to this battle?
beat?"
