Looking at Liu Changshun's increasingly pale face, Yang Zhen also felt some regret in his heart. He had not insisted on his own opinions, let alone listened to Guo Bingxun, and continued to place Liu Changshun in the position of commander of the Production and Construction Corps, or transferred him to another position. The Military Region Infantry School provides military education so that he can adjust his mentality.
But now that the words have reached this point and everything has been opened up, Yang Zhen decided to say everything that needs to be said at once. Liu Changshun's mental problem is already serious. If it is solved early, there is still a chance of recovery. , if he drags it on any longer, he will destroy himself.
After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen said: "You know very well whether I am engaged in nepotism or not. If I really don't have any ability, I will put you in such a key position. If I were considerate of you, we were together back then. Old brother who broke out of the concentration camp, I will definitely give you a high-ranking position that will not go on the battlefield, but I will never let you take the lead and be a column commander."
"I will not take the blood of tens of thousands or even more cadres and soldiers as an exchange or compensation. Old Liu, you should understand my character, and you should also understand that when our army was transformed from the Red Army , I will not engage in that kind of nepotism, and now I will not engage in that kind of gangsterism and nepotism."
"The reason why I finally nodded and let you succeed Chen Hanzhang was mainly because although you have many weaknesses, you still have abilities. At least you have a pretty good view of the overall situation. Although your vision is a bit narrow, overall it's pretty good. Okay, but looking at it now, you really disappointed me."
"You would rather sit back and watch the loss of fighter planes and watch Chen Hanzhang fall into a bitter battle and urgently need reinforcements. However, you are still fighting steadily there. To put it nicely, you are worried about the 110th Division. It will cut off the retreat of the outflanking troops."
"Let me put it bluntly, you are afraid that after the troops are transferred, the few remaining troops on your hands will defeat the battle, and you will not be able to completely annihilate the two Japanese divisions on the Chahar battlefield as required by the headquarters, so I would rather you Your comrades bleed and die there, and you are unwilling to send troops to reinforce and distract the troops in your hands."
"Even though I have given you an order, you still refuse to carry out the reinforcement regiment sent to Kangbao. You are fooling the headquarters because you have no plan at all to divide the troops before completely solving the 110th Division. For the sake of your own red cap, you didn’t even care about the development of the battle, Old Liu, I’m really disappointed in you this time.”
"Based on your actions and thoughts, it's not an exaggeration for me to say that you are very serious. Today, there are only two of us here. I can say these things. If there is a third person present, I will not say a word." , because that will directly cast you into the cold palace, and you will never be able to stand up again forever."
"You are a cadre from Laoba Road. Although you have not been in the Red Army for a long time, you have been a member of the Red Army for a period of time. What is the most taboo of our army? You should know in your heart that you have committed the biggest taboo. You can even say You have violated the law of nature. If you were shot during the Red Army period, it would not be an exaggeration to shoot you. Once your thoughts are exposed, there will no longer be a place for you in this army."
Liu Changshun, who was impressed by what Yang Zhen said, had no color left in his face at this time. He didn't expect that he could hide such a deep secret and be touched so clearly by No. 1. Liu Changshun opened his mouth to explain something, and finally But nothing was said.
He knew that no matter how much he tried to explain, it was no longer necessary and he had no power to explain anything more. Number One could see it too clearly. Every sentence was like the tip of a needle, piercing his heart and what he was thinking in his heart. Liu Changshun himself knew it very well after all.
Looking at Liu Changshun who had no trace of blood on his face, Yang Zhen sighed and said: "Your mentality is no longer suitable for leading troops. I will give you three choices now. One is to return to the Production and Construction Corps as the commander and do a good job in all aspects." The reorganization and training of the military reserve forces, you are already familiar with this and there is no need to re-familiarize yourself with it."
"The communication line with Guan Nei is about to be opened. The central government will mobilize a large number of people to move to the Northeast. The headquarters decided to organize all the immigrants into production and construction corps. At the same time, millions of acres of cultivated land will be reclaimed in the Sanjiang Plain. In the spring of this year, the Japanese army carried out brutal raids on various base areas in North China, resulting in a large number of orphans appearing in various base areas."
"The headquarters has called the central government to ask each base area to take in the orphans. They will all be transferred to the Northeast, where they will be raised by the Northeast Bureau. They will be organized into schools according to their age for military management. All schools that house orphans from North China will be organized into the Production and Construction Corps. Establishment.”
"So the next stage of the Production and Construction Corps has a very heavy task. The headquarters hopes to select someone who is familiar with these tasks and can get started as soon as possible. If you choose to return to the Production and Construction Corps as the commander, it can be regarded as a return to the industry. After all, then You set it up with your own hands, so it’s easy to get started when you go back.”
"Second, the military region reached an agreement with the Soviets to exchange food for engineering and technical personnel among the German prisoners of war captured by the Soviet army. However, the first batch of German prisoners of war handed over by the Soviets did not meet our requirements. What we urgently needed most was There were almost no tank technicians or aviation technicians, they were just some tank drivers and pilots. The headquarters submitted to the central government for approval and decided to send a representative to the Soviet Union to supervise the progress of this work."
"You first go to the Northeast Bureau Party School, study for two months and then serve as the representative to the Soviet Union. You will be responsible for negotiating with the Soviet side and introducing the talents we most urgently need. Don't let these old fools fool us again and exchange food for a bunch of people with everything. He is a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing who also serves as the representative of the Northeast Bureau in the Soviet Union and is also in charge of our students studying in the Soviet Union."
"Third, go back to the military region and take up the position of deputy director of the academy department of the command, set up the third branch of the command school and serve as the principal, specifically responsible for training internal troops and cultivating brigade-level cadres. You can consider these three positions yourself. Yes, but don’t think about leading troops for the time being."
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen said: "I hope you can go to the Soviet Union. You are a military cadre. You know what we need most at the moment and can select the talents we really need. In addition, I will negotiate with the Soviet Union and prepare to let you Enter the Soviet General Staff Voroshilov Military Command Academy and Kuibyshev Military Engineering Academy for further studies to improve your military quality."
"The first is to enhance one's own military literacy and learn some military engineering theories. The second is to prepare for the establishment of our own higher military academy. At the same time, we will inspect the Soviet-German battlefield and the application and use of tank operations. You don't have to rush. Answer me and I will give you two months to think about it. As for this period, you first go to the Northeast Bureau Party School to study."
Liu Changshun remained silent about Yang Zhen's arrangements. It was not until the plane arrived at Tongliao Airport that he said: "No. 1, I will listen to your arrangements. I will go where you ask me to go. If I go to the Soviet Union, I can If it is beneficial to us, then I will go to the Soviet Union. You are right, I have indeed improved my military theoretical training now."
Regarding Liu Changshun's reply, Yang Zhen said nothing more and patted his hand. Yang Zhen didn't know whether Liu Changshun had really figured it out, but Yang Zhen knew that there was only so much he could do to help him. How far he can go in the future depends on him.
As for letting him go to the Kuibyshev Military Engineering Academy in the Soviet Union for further studies, it was not Yang Zhen's whim. As various plans unfolded step by step, Yang Zhen increasingly felt that a senior command talent who was proficient in comprehensive military engineering was needed, but who should be sent? I went to study, but there was never a suitable candidate.
Yang Zhen was somewhat dissatisfied with the Soviet air force theory, naval theory, and even the current tank combat theory. However, Yang Zhen had always admired the Soviet Union's theoretical research on military engineering, so Yang Zhen had always wanted to send a group of cadres. , go to the Soviet Union to learn more about military engineering.
It’s just that the level of the people sent is too low, and their vision has certain limitations, and they cannot meet the required requirements. Military engineering is a science that requires a certain strategic vision and level, but if the level is enough, where will he go now? When selecting candidates, Yang Zhen was reluctant to let go of any cadres at the column level. Now that Liu Changshun has done something like this, he is a suitable candidate.
After the plane landed at Tongliao Airport, Yang Zhen got off the plane alone. As for Liu Changshun, this transport plane will take him to Harbin. Over there, Yang Zhen had already hung up the phone with Li Yanping last night. After Liu Changshun got off the plane, he would He will directly enter the Northeast Bureau Party School to study for two months and study Russian for a period of time.
Seeing the plane flying into the sea of clouds again, Yang Zhen shook his head and got in the car to pick him up and return to the headquarters. By the time the battle was over and he returned to Harbin, Liu Changshun might have gone to study in the Soviet Union. , I don’t know when we will meet again.
After hesitating for a while, Yang Zhen hung up a phone call to Li Yanping and asked him to make arrangements. While Liu Changshun was studying at the party school, if his lover, a primary school teacher, had no political problems, they would arrange their marriage and then let him The two of them went to the Soviet Union together, and they looked after each other.
After putting down the phone call to Li Yanping, Yang Zhen drafted a telegram to the Aviation Command, asking them to immediately prepare seventeen B-17 bombers and seventeen No. 2-5 special aviation bombs to attack the Kangbao battlefield. Special bombing operations.
But after issuing the order, Yang Zhen also repeatedly asked the aviation force to be prepared. Not one of these seventeen bombs was allowed to fall into Kangbao County. There were not only Japanese troops there, but also Japanese troops building forts. area, tens of thousands of residents in all combat areas were forcibly moved into Kangbao County.
Each of these bombs weighs 1.5 tons. They were originally prepared for the permanent fortification groups built by the Japanese army that may be encountered on the battlefield. Once one of the new No. 25 special air fuel bombs falls into Kangbao County, Its huge explosion power can completely destroy the entire Kangbao County, and all ground creatures in the city will not survive.
Therefore, Yang Zhen repeatedly asked the aviation force to measure the killing radius and select the area where the bombs should be thrown. There must be no accidental injury. The aviation force must maximize the power of these bombs, but it must not accidentally injure a single Chinese citizen.
Yang Zhen's request was actually a bit excessive, but he really had no choice. As the instigator, he opened this Pandora's box with his own hands. He knew very well the lethality of this thing. The larger the size, the greater the impact. It also meant that The larger the killing radius will be.
With the changes in the war situation and the joining of a large number of scientific and technical personnel, some secret factories were established one after another. This kind of weapon based on the anti-joint pressure box developed very quickly, from the original several hundred kilograms to the current 1.5 tons. , and with the adjustment of the charge, the power is also different from that used before. The throwing location this time is so close to Kangbao County, and Yang Zhen cannot not worry about accidentally injuring the residents in the city.
