Moreover, my subordinates are indeed very shameless. Although the academic qualifications of these officers of the Political Department and Secretariat are among the best in the entire army, most of them have never been on the battlefield. Although Wannan is not far from enemy-occupied areas, it is not far from enemy-occupied areas.
We experienced several Japanese attacks and raids, but it was still relatively safe.
Although they have experienced several raids by the Japanese army, these scholars are rare intellectuals in the entire army. The former political commissar has always loved them and never allowed them to go to the battlefield. The long-term relatively stable life has made these people less alert.
He is young, and his style is somewhat sloppy. It’s just that he has always been used to it before, and now it’s too late to train him.
Although Yang Zhen's sudden decision to move the military headquarters forward made many people a little dissatisfied, when the hastily assembled brigade had just left the location of the military headquarters less than five kilometers away, intensive gunfire came from behind. It was obvious that not only troops had infiltrated
We're near the military headquarters. And the size of the infiltrating troops won't be too small.
The sound of gunfire from behind immediately made everyone's dissatisfaction disappear. Almost everyone was shouting that they were lucky. If they had left more than ten minutes late, I am afraid that the military headquarters would have encountered the enemy. If non-combatants
Once the over-concentrated military headquarters encounters Yuliang, the military headquarters that actually controls only one guard company is likely to be dispersed.
Although these talented people in the military headquarters do not have very good military literacy, they are not stupid. Everyone knows that when it is dark, once they are separated from the military headquarters, and powerful enemies are looking around, and many people do not have guns,
What kind of fate will he face if he doesn't even have the means to fight? Apart from being captured, I'm afraid there is no other option.
The gunshots coming from behind were not only heard by the cadres of the military headquarters, but also Yang Zhen. Now a veteran of the battlefield, he quickly judged from the gunshots that this enemy force had penetrated into the enemy from nowhere.
The army has at least one battalion and is equipped with grenade launchers and light machine guns.
There are enemy troops all around, and it is normal for a small group of troops to infiltrate. This is a mountainous area, and there are too many loopholes for people to take advantage of. He has invested almost all his effective forces on the front line, except for those who are responsible for cutting off the rear for the entire army.
After the special service battalion was destroyed, only one company from the military guard battalion remained.
As for those personnel with rich combat experience in the military department, except for some communications staff officers and two combat staff officers, the rest of the combat and reconnaissance section personnel are either assigned to various columns or even regiments before departure, or they are assigned to each regiment before the battle begins.
After that, I went to the frontier.
There used to be more than 500 people in the military department, but now most of the people who are still working with the military department are the scholars from the Secretariat, Political Department, and Logistics Department who joined the army after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. There are even military bookstores and
Some local cadres have been exposed.
Most of these people who have never been on the battlefield have little combat experience. Most of them have no weapons or only have a pistol that is more suitable for suicide. All their military experience is the little military training they received when they joined the army.
I haven't participated in a battle for a long time, and I'm afraid I have even forgotten how to fire a gun.
For these talented people who have never been on the battlefield, it is okay to let them engage in propaganda and agitation. If you let them go to the front line to fight, it will take a long time of training. Once they encounter the enemy, these people will basically
Even if I can't help you, I have to worry about them not being scattered.
With such a small force, it can barely maintain the security of a small area. As for the periphery, it is impossible to put out too much security. Especially at night, the security force can only be placed within a hundred meters around the military headquarters at best.
It's impossible to send people over long distances.
The military headquarters has too many non-combatants, too few security forces, and the mountainous area it is located in has complex terrain. This is the key reason why Yang Zhen was eager to lead the military headquarters eastward to get closer to the main force after taking the front line of Fengliu Port.
On a chaotic battlefield, it is safer to stay close to the field troops.
To be honest, although Yang Zhen expected that a small group of troops would infiltrate, especially after Zhao Lingbo's rebellion, the location and strength of the military headquarters were likely to be exposed. Anyone with a little bit of thought would not have almost no security forces around him and a weak military force.
Under the circumstances, send troops to take advantage of the loopholes in your own defense to dig yourself out.
From the limited information, Yang Zhen knew very well that although he did not know his current net worth, the military commander's net worth was still quite high. Although the general had problems of one kind or another, he had fought against the Japanese for several years. This ability to judge could not be better
No, if this loophole is not grasped, then the battle will deserve to be lost.
But he didn't expect that a battalion-level force, which had always been weak in attack spirit and detour ability, would unexpectedly send a battalion-level force to infiltrate. Hearing the gunshots from the military headquarters behind him, Rao, who had always been calm,
Yang Zhen couldn't help but shout in his heart that it was a fluke. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the military would have been in danger, or even the entire army might have been destroyed.
Although many people think that the enemy situation has not reached the point where it cannot be alleviated and the enemy is still far away from them, they have some objections to him because they have not had time to have a hot meal. But for Yang Zhen as a commander-in-chief
, the belly is one thing, the safety of the entire military headquarters, which condenses the essence of the New Fourth Army, is the real big deal.
What surprised the military personnel who were still somewhat resentful was that just when everyone's opinions disappeared due to the gunshots behind them, they couldn't help but speed up, hoping to join the troops as soon as possible. They kept urging them to speed up.
Yang Zhen, who was marching at a fast pace, ordered to stop advancing.
Not only the non-combatants in the military department were a little surprised by Yang Zhen's move. Even the director of the Political Department, who was a little unhappy with Yang Zhen's arbitrary orders before, was also relieved by the sound of gunfire. At this time, he was also surprised.
After receiving the order to stop advancing, he personally led the team to pick up the stragglers from behind, and he hurried to Yang Zhen's location with the secretary-general.
When the director of the Political Department of Huoshangfang, who was anxious because most of the personnel left behind in the military headquarters were his own subordinates, for fear that the pursuing troops would come from behind and cause serious losses, saw Yang Zhen, he saw that Yang Zhen
At this time, the guard beside him was looking at the map under the light of a carefully held flashlight.
Seeing Yang Zhen looking at the map with a calm expression, the director of the Political Department was not polite and said directly: "Political Commissar, why did you order the troops to stop? I think we should rush to Fengliu Bu as quickly as possible now.
The front line meets the army commander. There is a battalion of troops behind us. Once too many enemy troops infiltrate, they won't be able to hold on for long."
Regarding the director of the Political Department who had changed his steady style and seemed a little impatient, Yang Zhen calmly shook his head: "The key for us now is that we don't know how many enemies have infiltrated around us. This enemy force
Whether the army infiltrated from the Tongshan front line? Or whether it came from the Niulanling front line is not clear at all."
"This area has high mountains and dense forests. Once more than one enemy infiltrates, it will be a threat to us at any time. Our current position is still five or six kilometers away from the commander's position. Once we encounter other enemies along the way,
When the enemy infiltrates, let alone other aspects, if these precious little things in the military headquarters are touched, it will be very uneconomical for us."
"The troops in the three theaters have been fighting the Japanese army for many years. The Japanese army's tactics do not need to be learned deliberately. Frontal assault and flanking penetration are common tactics of the Japanese army. However, we have limited field troops at hand, and we have concentrated most of them at present.
With the strength to attack Xingtan, once our opponent adopts the Japanese tactics, we are likely to suffer heavy losses."
"There is a radio station in the middle of our marching column, and there are a lot of female soldiers. Most of the people who carry guns mainly use short guns. This is almost obvious to others that we are a command post. If it is really related to infiltration
If the enemy troops come in, we will most likely become their priority target. Therefore, what we need now is to be stable. We will wait for the troops on the mountain ridges on both sides to get a feel for the situation ahead."
"Tell the troops to take a ten-minute break. However, during the break, you are still not allowed to smoke or speak loudly. I also turned off all the flashlights. In addition, I told the cadres at all levels to take responsibility and take inventory.
Take good care of the personnel in your department, especially female soldiers, and never let anyone be left behind."
The director of the Political Department hesitated for a moment and then said: "Political Commissar, do you think you should contact the military commander and ask the troops on the front line of Xingtan to send someone to respond? If you can't spare more, even a battalion of troops will be fine.
, even just one company will do."
"We have too many non-combatants without any weapons. Apart from a few of our guards, the personal security force is only one company, and the strength is a bit too weak. Even the central government has repeatedly ordered to protect your personal security squad.
They were all strengthened to the security company by you."
"Judging from the current situation around us, this won't work. Most of these talented people in the military department don't even have weapons, but they have gathered most of the intellectuals in the New Fourth Army. They can be said to be the cream of the military. If there are big
How do we explain the losses to the central government and the army?"
Regarding the suggestion from the Director of the Political Department to send troops to the front to take over, Yang Zhen refused without thinking: "No, we will use four regiments of troops from the front to deal with a country that has favorable terrain to rely on and an absolute advantage in equipment.
If a division wants to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time, its troops are already stretched thin."
"Now the battle against Xingtan is at a critical moment, and not a single soldier can be mobilized. Xingtan has now become a place that is related to the life and death of our army. If we capture Xingtan, our army will have a way out. If we cannot capture Xingtan, we will fall into
Surrounded on all sides. Superior forces must be concentrated at Xingtan."
"We must stay calm now. The opponent sent a small group of troops to infiltrate and touch our military headquarters, perhaps just to understand the crisis in Savior Xingtan. The more troops they infiltrate, the better the fighting will be in Xingtan. If we
At this time, sending troops from the direction of Xingtan to come back for reinforcements may just fall into their plan of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao."
