When talking about this, Lin Zhiqiang's face looked a little solemn and said: "Four is the most critical, and it is also what the leaders of each unit must master. When each unit is dispersed, it must be based on the regiment, and it cannot be below the company regiment. The troops have also dispersed. We are here not to open up base areas behind enemy lines."
"Our main task is to open up communication lines inside and outside the customs. As before, the method of dispersing the troops in battalions or even companies will never work. They can only be defeated one by one by the Japanese and puppet troops who have the advantage of mobility. According to the current equipment and combat effectiveness of our army, regiment-based organizational activities are the most suitable."
“At the same time, each column and each brigade must have a certain reserve force, that is, a mobile force. Each column level must maintain at least one regiment of troops, and the brigade level must ensure that it has no less than one battalion of mobile troops. The force must ensure that it can reinforce front-line battles at any time when the battle requires it, and be able to hold back the Japanese and puppet troops in front of them until the troops are concentrated."
"The overall situation on the entire battlefield is now quite favorable to us. The anti-alliance roundabout troops have reached Linxi. The 23rd Division is probably too busy to take care of itself. In other words, the Japanese and puppet troops in Xing'an West to the north are We have basically no need to take care of it anymore, and according to the current overall war situation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the division of the two divisions deployed by the entire Japanese army on the Western Front has been completed."
"The Japanese 71st Division in the far north of us has been surrounded, and the 23rd Division is now also facing a flanking attack by two mechanized troops. No matter what the battle situation in Xing'an West looks like, one thing is certain. The Japanese and puppet troops basically no longer need to be taken care of by us, and we can focus our main energy on the territory of Jehol."
"The Kwantung Army's independent garrison stationed in Rehe has six independent garrison brigades. It does seem to have a lot of troops, but these troops need to be dispersed and stationed throughout the counties and banners of Rehe, so it is still a little too few. In the two main cities of Rehe, Chifeng and Chengde, only one infantry brigade is stationed in each. If a situation arises in one place, the Japanese and puppet troops can only mobilize reinforcements from other places. This situation is very beneficial to us."
"We can use the advantage of our troops in dispersed activities to launch large-scale raids on various groups, tribes and highways, especially on the Ye-Chi Railway line connecting Chifeng and Chengde, to launch large-scale raids and cut off Chifeng. The main transportation link with Chengde attracted the Japanese troops to disperse and attack, and then concentrated their superior forces to eat up the Japanese and puppet troops one by one during the movement."
"Commanders, political commissars, and troop equipment have been provided, but they cannot mature all at once. Every troop needs a growth process. I think that when we disperse our activities, we must get used to accumulating small victories into big victories. We cannot expect our troops to eat a fat man at the first bite."
"I suggest that we can fight according to the standard of a brigade against a regiment of the Puppet Manchu Army or a brigade of the Japanese army. The strength of one of our regiments can be used to deal with a battalion of the Puppet Manchukuo Army assigned to a squadron of the Japanese army. Our current firepower has increased. , the ammunition is also relatively sufficient, we can appropriately increase the combat scale of the troops."
"That is to say, the combined combat effectiveness of the troops can be rapidly improved in actual combat, and at the same time, they can mobilize and disperse the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops. At the same time, we must adhere to our principle of concentrating superior forces and superior firepower to annihilate one enemy, but the situation is different. , I do not advocate military adventurism."
"Our troops are used to dispersed guerrillas and lack experience in large-scale combat. We can adopt the principle of dispersion plus concentration and adopt the method of annihilating the enemy on the move. This is much better than simply passively fighting. Commander, Political Commissar, although the vanguard brigade suffered heavy losses in the battle, in any case, they obtained the food that the troops urgently needed."
"Although we don't have enough food now, we can barely eat it. However, the quantity is not enough to sustain the long-term needs of the troops. Moreover, we rely solely on the air transportation of food by the Anti-Alliance. The pressure on the Anti-Alliance is also great, and it also takes up the original plan. Equipment for transporting ammunition and other supplies.”
"Considering the difficulty in raising enough food in Rehe, judging from the current situation, eating from the enemy has become a major way for us to replenish food. The improvement of weapons and equipment has made our current ammunition consumption only As their capabilities become larger and larger, the limited transport aircraft should mainly be used to transport ammunition and other supplies by air."
"The equipment lost by the leading brigade, especially the light and heavy machine guns and mortars, which are the most urgently needed equipment for front-line troops, also needs to be replenished. We will disperse the troops when possible and transfer them to outside operations, so that the Japanese and puppet troops can advance westward flawlessly, that is, It can ensure the safety of the road from Keshiketeng Banner to Weichang, and also solve some of the food difficulties of the troops."
"The most important thing is that this tactic can bring into play our true strengths. If our troops' survivability in enemy-occupied areas is considered second in this world, no one would dare to think that they are number one. We will release our troops like mercury." We must use local methods to penetrate enemy-occupied areas and adopt tactics that combine dispersion and concentration.”
"Concentrate some superior forces, wipe out most or one part of the enemy during the movement, and change from passive confrontation to active attack. Even if we cannot completely solve the Rehe problem, we must at least ensure that the countryside in Rehe is under our control. This is the real way to ensure the safety of traffic lines."
When Lin Zhiqiang revealed the real plan in his heart, it could almost be said that he completely overturned the old commander's plan. However, the broad-minded old commander was not angry. Instead, he turned his head and carefully looked at Lin Zhiqiang's work on the map. After being silent for a long time, he shook his head and said to the political commissar beside him: "Young people are to be feared. No staff officer in your Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region or my 129th Division can do it so beautifully or at such a high level. .”
Having said this, the commander nodded and said: "I'm afraid this is what you really think in your heart. Those supplementary suggestions and plans you made before were probably just following my wishes and following my deployment. You are afraid that those of us who are commanders and political commissars will not accept the true opinions and thoughts put forward by you, a subordinate."
"I'm going to criticize you. As a superior, you don't even have this kind of mind. Why should you be your commander or political commissar? In combat command, it is necessary to be arbitrary, but in many cases, military democracy is equally important. Only Only by combining the two approaches can we achieve more victories. As superiors, we can neither listen to one side nor have the final say in everything."
"But fortunately, although you procrastinated, now you have expressed your true thoughts. Is this right? The purpose of the combat meeting is for everyone to speak freely. Well, yours has given full play to the strengths of our army and avoided our army. The shortcomings plan is very good and quite in line with the current situation of our army."
"I think your plan is very feasible. Instead of passively defending, reach out and reach into the enemy's hinterland. Take advantage of the inherent weaknesses in the deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops, and learn from Sun Wukong's method of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace to reach the enemy's hinterland. Go torment them and look for suitable fighters among the enemy forces."
"You are right. Our troops can gather and disperse. If they are dispersed, they can be brought back at any time if needed. Now that the radio station has been strengthened to the regiment level, it is even more convenient. It can even be said to be gathering and dispersing. Sui Xin, this is our biggest advantage, coupled with our army's strengths in mountain mobile warfare, the combination of the two has great potential."
"The current firepower of our troops has been greatly improved, which is different from before. In addition to the direct artillery, each brigade and regiment have also established their own artillery, and the ammunition is relatively sufficient. In the past, one soldier could fight a battle. The situation of only five rounds of bullets in battle has long passed. During the movement, as long as we concentrate our forces, we can still be confident of annihilating an enemy with firepower in a short time."
"Since you have marked the activity range of each unit on the map, let's follow your plan. In addition to leaving some troops in the headquarters and mobilizing some troops to the west to defend against the Japanese and puppet troops in Chabei, According to your words, use the columns as the backbone, the brigades as the limbs, and the regiments as the limbs, and disperse the troops to Chifeng, Ningcheng, Chengde, Pingquan and other large Japanese and puppet core areas to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace."
After saying that, the commander turned around and said to the chief of staff beside him: "Please sort out the contents on his map in detail and distribute them to the relevant troops. At the same time, order the operations section and communications section to immediately draw up a part of the plan." New passwords and password usage regulations will be issued to each unit."
"Oh, if you don't understand anything, ask Lin Zhiqiang to solve it. They are experts in this regard. Our quality needs to be strengthened. As the situation changes, we must see the areas where we need to strengthen ourselves. There are too many. First of all What needs to be changed is our own brains.”
After the commander finished speaking, the political commissar next to him thought carefully for a moment, discussed in a low voice with the commander, and then said to Lin Zhiqiang: "Comrade Lin Zhiqiang, your careful way of thinking has taught cadres at all levels, including the commander and me, a vivid lesson. Although the course is a bit rushed, the situation is tense and can only be handled on a special basis. On behalf of my superiors, I have decided to make some adjustments to your work."
"Now I give you two options. One is to serve as the deputy chief of staff at the advancing army headquarters, in charge of operations, intelligence, and communications, and also serves as the captain of the staff training team of the headquarters. The other is to change from the chief of staff to the brigade commander of the leading brigade. When you have the opportunity to act alone, ask your brigade commander to make him his deputy instead of deputy brigade commander, so that he can learn from you how to fight this battle."
"We have long been proud of the combat model of millets plus rifles, but this model can only mean that we are in a difficult situation. Now that the troops are equipped and have sufficient ammunition, some cadres actually do not know how to fight. It is time to learn If we continue to be so unwilling to make progress and do not know how to correct our shortcomings, it will be our troops who suffer losses."
"Our cadres at all levels cannot expect to pay tuition on the battlefield to help themselves grow. What they pay will be the blood and lives of our soldiers. Only when our cadres at all levels face up to their shortcomings and shortcomings and resolutely correct their guerrilla habits will our
