Guo Bingxun's words made Yang Zhen fall into deep thought, and he said after a long time: "As early as when the new Japanese reinforcements arrived in northeastern Shanxi, I considered mobilizing additional troops for the battlefield in northern Shanxi, but what we lack most now is to supplement troops. We must use our troops to the extreme. It’s not just Chen Hanzhang, our entire army is like this now.”
"The strength of the troops at the Jehol battlefield is already at the minimum safety level. No organic divisions can be deployed. The location is critical. Once any accident occurs, the supply lines of the entire Western Front cluster will be completely cut off. And if we The price to be paid for reopening is far beyond our ability to bear. What we need most is the stability of the Jehol battlefield."
"Now in the Northeast battlefield, the Japanese army's counterattack is quite strong, and the use of troops is also in an extremely tense situation. Even itself now needs a large number of supplementary troops. Although the troops advancing there are more abundant, they still need to What we are facing is a new division of the Japanese army that has been put into the battlefield, and the pressure is quite high. Where do we allocate the strength of a division, even a light division, is my biggest headache."
"The 20,000 recruits that Gao Yumin mobilized from the newly liberated areas for this operation have just begun basic training and are far from ready to be engaged in front-line operations. Basically, all secondary military regions now except a few who are responsible for guarding key targets. Apart from the internal guard troops, there are really no troops left to deploy, and the old troops who have completed full training cannot be mobilized now."
When it comes to replenishing soldiers, Yang Zhen is the biggest headache. This is not only a matter that requires reinforcements on the battlefield in northern Shanxi, the entire Northeast battlefield is also in a similar situation. The losses of various units in the battle have been delayed. Without replenishment, the current frontline troops can only ensure the integrity of the main force participating in the war through continuous downsizing.
Now there are four or five divisions that have been transferred back to the rear for rest. The battlefield in northern Shanxi is even better. Not to mention the battlefield in Northeast China, there are many battalions and companies that have been annihilated. There are even entire regiments that have been annihilated. troops, but the source of additional troops for these shelf divisions has not yet been found for the most part.
The potential for soldier mobilization in the old areas has already been excavated. Gao Yumin spent a lot of money to mobilize 20,000 new soldiers in the newly liberated areas of the Northeast battlefield. However, it still takes a lot of time to mobilize these 20,000 new soldiers. In a short period of time, it is basically impossible to mobilize. You won't be able to engage in front-line combat.
Considering the recruitment of troops and the actual situation in the Northeast battlefield, Yang Zhen even organized the Korean Independence Army to join him. Now the frontline troops are in desperate need of food, and only the most basic left-behind personnel are retained in the rear base area, even though he knows that the northern Shanxi battlefield is in urgent need Reinforcements were sent, but there were no more troops to mobilize.
How could Guo Bingxun not know Yang Zhen's headaches and difficulties? After repeatedly calculating the actual situation in the base area, he raised his head and said: "No. 1, in this way, another regiment will be transferred from the Rehe battlefield as the basic regiment. We will use the armored troops, Artillery, as well as other technical arms, and five battalions of guard troops at various bases in the rear, with two companies from each battalion."
"In this way, ten infantry companies can be mobilized, which is basically the formation of a strengthened regiment. These guard troops are all troops that have received complete military training. Although they are mainly responsible for guard tasks on weekdays, they will become field troops when they are mobilized. Together with a regiment drawn from the Jehol battlefield, we have two complete infantry regiments in our hands."
"Based on these two regiments, with the 10th Division withdrawn from the Xinjing battlefield for rest and recuperation as the command organ, and the remaining two battalions and retained cadres as the backbone, an organic division can be formed in a short period of time. The troops are a little messy, but they can still be organized into a whole division."
"If possible, I think the 13th Engineer Regiment, which is currently the only one without combat missions directly under the headquarters, will be incorporated into the ministry, or it will be transferred to the Western Front battlefield as a separate combat unit as a unit directly under the Western Cluster. In addition, it will be These American mountain artillery pieces were all allocated to the Western Front."
"Chen Hanzhang transferred several mountain artillery battalions, and the unit firepower was weakened to a certain extent. Although these American mountain artillery are slightly heavier than Japanese mountain artillery, their overall performance is still acceptable. Compared with the Soviet Union, After the matter was resolved, the Americans allocated another 20,000 rounds of artillery shells, which was enough for us to use for a while."
Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun hesitated and said: "On the 1st, I want to temporarily stop the task of building the Tongliao to Kailu railway, and transfer one or three of the railway troops formed last year. , 5. These three reorganized regiments, plus the remaining forces of several other units that were withdrawn to the base area for reorganization, formed another division based on the 13th Division, with the excess American mountain artillery, plus the few Soviet-made prototypes that were imitation prototypes. Cannon Artillery forms divisional artillery as a reserve force for the Northeastern battlefield."
Regarding Guo Bingxun's suggestion, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "I think it's okay, but the regiment on the Jehol battlefield should not be transferred. They are the junction of our army's two major battlefields. Although there is basically no war at the moment, after all, The importance of location is there. When deploying troops, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the joint."
"You transferred two battalions from the headquarters guard regiment, and reorganized four battalions from the first paratrooper division that has completed the battle south. This harvester plan can be considered a successful conclusion. Although the first paratrooper division is in We suffered considerable losses during the operation, but we still maintain organizational integrity and still have two-thirds of our total strength."
"Now the development of the entire war situation is urgent. We can no longer take care of other things. We should focus on the present first. The formation of the First Parachute Division can be postponed for a while, but the war situation cannot wait. As long as the land connection with the pass is opened, the new Replenishment of troops will be available sooner or later."
"But don't allocate three regiments to the railway soldiers at once. They only have six regiments in total. If you remove three regiments, you will be equivalent to weakening half of the troops. The emergency repair of the railway has just begun, and this Whether the railway can be repaired in the shortest possible time is directly related to our future development."
"The climate in the Northeast is so bad, the time available for construction is short, and the solar terms are not waiting for anyone. The railway opens to traffic one day earlier, and we can reduce the pressure one day earlier. In this way, we can allocate the first and fifth regiments, and add other Withdraw the remainder of the division and reorganize it, and form a division with the Thirteenth Division as the base."
"In this way, you arrange to gather all the aviation transport aircraft units in the Northeast. After the division is formed, it is not necessary to unite them to northern Shanxi. First, transport the division directly affiliated units to northern Shanxi, and the rest of the troops are concentrated into one regiment. Transport a regiment, form the task, and start executing it in northern Shanxi."
Yang Zhen agreed to deploy railway troops, and Guo Bingxun was not surprised. The railway from Tongliao to Kailu has just started to be built. Due to technical conditions and engineering materials, so many troops cannot be used for the time being. Some of them should be transferred appropriately. It's totally possible.
But I heard that General Yang Zhen has always been like him since his formation. Except for participating in the Harvest Project in the early stages, he has never participated in the war. The 1st Paratrooper Division, which has been training, mobilized four battalions in one breath, and even the headquarters Two battalions of the guard regiment were sent out. Guo Bingxun knew that No. 1 was preparing to sell the iron.
After hesitating for a moment, considering the situation on the entire battlefield, Guo Bingxun finally had no objection. No. 1 was right. Now is the time to push forward, and there is no need to worry about the future. As long as the connection with the customs can be opened and the new recruits can solve the problem, it will be fine. Solved easily.
As for the other things, it is better to put them aside for the time being. However, considering the entire situation with Chen Hanzhang, Guo Bingxun ordered Chen Hanzhang to stop the laborers rescued from Datong and transfer them all back to the Northeast. First, in terms of logistics, it was already quite difficult. No heavy load.
The transfer of a large number of workers from Datong back to the Northeast is also a heavy burden on logistics. And now that Datong has been controlled, transferring all these workers back to the Northeast will also affect the recovery of the Datong mine. The coal mines in Datong are all of high quality. Industrial coal.
These coals are also crucial to the construction of a military industrial base in northern Shaanxi. After the war, if Datong Coal Mine wants to resume production as soon as possible, it cannot remove all the workers at once. Another point is that these workers are now physically The quality has been largely restored, and Guo Bingxun believes that it is entirely possible to mobilize some of the new recruits on the spot.
Guo Bingxun asked Chen Hanzhang to form several new corps on the spot for all workers under the age of 25 and over 17, and to deploy a group of capable military and political personnel for training. At the same time, he also found ways to cooperate with Jinsui and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei The two regions communicated and recruited a group of new soldiers on the spot.
Even if only two regiments of recruits can be recruited, it can slightly alleviate the current pressure on the headquarters. As for the required weapons and ammunition, the headquarters will provide them from the northeast. In a word, all necessary means will be used to ensure that northern Shanxi Sufficient troops required for the battlefield.
In fact, Guo Bingxun had some opinions on handing over all the prisoners of war rescued by Chen Hanzhang from Taiyuan to the Shanxi-Sui Military Region. Although these people all had the experience of being captured, there was no problem with one thing. They are veterans who have completed basic training.
As long as familiarization, training and mobilization are carried out in a short period of time, combat effectiveness can be formed in the shortest time and a certain gap in troops can be filled. Even if you leave 5,000 people behind, adding more troops can reduce your own pressure, and Replenish the organizational structure and gaps in the actual army.
It's a good thing for you now. All the more than 10,000 people in the Jinsui Military Region were given to the Jinsui Military Region at once. The gap in the Jinsui Military Region was completely replenished at once, and there is still some support. But you still need the headquarters to find a way, thousands of miles away. Allocate supplementary troops to you from the Northeast.
Looking at the order drafted by Guo Bingxun to Chen Hanzhang, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. However, after the order was sent, Yang Zhen said to Guo Bingxun: "Ask Gao Yumin to put aside all other matters for the time being. Take all members of his political department to the new district."
"Tell him that I will give him five days and he must find a way to mobilize more than 30,000 new soldiers in the new area. If there can be more, I won't mind. Each of the newly liberated counties this time is all traditional Northeastern In a county with a large population, or even one county with a population comparable to that of several counties in the old base area, it shouldn't be too difficult to mobilize 30,000 to 50,000 new soldiers."
"Also, all the 20,000 new recruits that have been mobilized will be sent to the divisions that have retreated for rest and reorganization to speed up the training of these new recruits. First, the organization of these divisions will be enriched, and this time Li Mingbo also sent a group of political workers to recruit as many soldiers as possible among the people who had been snatched back from Fengtian."
“Although we paid some price for this Harvest Operation, we snatched back tens of thousands of workers from Fengtian, Anshan, Benxi Lake, and Fushun, as well as tens of thousands of laborers, as well as a large number of people. In terms of our future industrial development, workers will The pressure is much less, and I think we can completely mobilize some of the young adults who were originally planned to supplement the workers into the army."
