Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at Du Kaishan's surprised expression after hearing what he said, but his tone was somewhat dissatisfied and said: "Old Du, you must be mentally prepared to shoulder a heavier burden. The headquarters will send you
The reason for being transferred here is not because Wang Guangyu was transferred to the Nenjiang Military Region. The position of commander of the first column is vacant and a capable military cadre is needed."
"Headquarters transferred you to the First Column as the commander, and put the First Column in such an important position, not because of how strong the First Column's combat effectiveness is, but because of a deeper meaning. Now I have to bear this little pressure.
If you can't stand it anymore, how can you shoulder a heavier burden in the future? How can the headquarters rest assured that it will put you in an important direction during the next battle?"
"And I will make it clear to you today that the main force of the first column is going north to the Fujin base for refit training, and the command structure will remain in Harbin. As for you, the commander of the column, you will still stay in Harbin to command the fourth column.
The troops, as well as local troops, continue to adhere to the front-line defense. During the change of equipment as the first column moves north, the commander of the column is temporarily represented by Chen Hanzhang, commander of the armored forces."
"After the reloading is completed, the divisions of the First Column will not go south to take over the troops of the Fourth Column. Instead, they will stay north of Harbin and deploy as the strategic mobile force of the entire army. The designations of the First Column and the Fourth Column will be reversed. The original designations of the Fourth Column will be reversed.
Change it to a vertical position. As for you, the commander, whether you can still lead your original old troops depends on your own performance."
It can be said that Yang Zhen is quite dissatisfied with Du Kaishan's complaint. Although the main force of the first column has retreated, and the troops that replaced it are mainly the fourth column. However, the command authority is still served by the first column headquarters. This is a plan of the headquarters.
In cultivating the ability of troops to temporarily form coordinated operations.
Indeed, the pressure of being on the front line and commanding multiple troops of different formations to fight on the front line for half a year is a bit high. But for Du Kaishan, this pressure is not unbearable, let alone unbearable. That's it.
The situation is so miserable, how can we take on more important tasks in the future?
The First Column will not return south to the original defense area after the change of equipment. This is Guo Bingxun's suggestion. First, the change of equipment should be kept as confidential as possible. Second, Guo Bingxun means to prepare to move the First Column with strong combat effectiveness.
Divisions are strategic mobile forces directly under the headquarters. In other words, these divisions will form a fist force directly under the headquarters together with the armored forces.
After completing the reloading, these divisions will not return to the front line. They will stay at the Fujin Comprehensive Training Base to conduct tactical synthesis training with several newly formed armored brigades to explore armor tactics that suit their own. Although the armored units last year
His performance in the battle was remarkable, but relatively speaking, there were many flaws in his tactics.
The main problem is that after the armored forces open a breakthrough, the actions of the follow-up troops often cannot keep up. In addition to the infantry attached to the armored brigade itself, when the temporarily transferred troops and tanks cooperate with each other, they cooperate with each other and lack tacit understanding. Even during the Korean War,
There have been cases where tanks broke away from infantry cover and rushed toward Japanese positions alone, with heavy losses.
The Japanese army lacked effective anti-tank equipment, but its meat bomb tactics caused considerable losses to the troops. During the Battle of Nomonhan, the Japanese army's meat bomb tactics caused considerable damage to the Soviet armored forces.
Losses. In North Korea, despite Chen Hanzhang's preparations in advance, the armored brigade still suffered heavy losses under the impact of Japanese human bombs regardless of casualties.
It is undoubtedly suicide for tanks to break away from the cover of infantry and attack the prepared garrison positions alone. Especially in the face of the Japanese army, which regards death as nothing and is extremely crazy, without infantry cover, it is very difficult for tank troops alone to defeat them.
Breaking through the opponent's defense line.
After taking over as commander of the Armored Forces, Chen Hanzhang made a special study of the battle between the Japanese and Soviet armies in Nomonhan, as well as the performance of German armored forces fighting in Western Europe. After the armored force brigades were organized, Chen Hanzhang immediately suggested to the headquarters that they be transferred
A group of troops conduct combined tactics training with armored units.
Chen Hanzhang's suggestion attracted the attention of Guo Bingxun, who was in charge of military work before Yang Zhen returned. After repeated studies, he made a great determination and transferred all one column. He took turns with the four armored brigades that had completed their formation.
Synthetic armor tactics drill.
As for the remaining three columns, after the first column completed the re-equipment, the brigades from the rear military region and the troops belonging to each military division were gradually transferred and temporarily expanded into three divisions. Each column left a main division to hold on in place.
, to take over the current defense lines of the third and fourth columns. After moving back to the rear, they will be refitted.
This is the preparation that the headquarters must make for the change of future combat modes. Furthermore, local troops are the basis and basis for the future expansion of the main force. Whether the local troops can obtain a certain amount of combat experience will determine the future field troops adapted from these troops.
It has a great impact on combat effectiveness.
Moreover, the reason for the formation of these local troops, in addition to being responsible for rear defense tasks, is largely to prepare for upgrading to the main force at any time. When they were formed, except that the equipment was slightly inferior to that of the main force, the training syllabus
It is the same as the main force. Therefore, it is quite necessary to transfer local troops to the front line for some actual combat accumulation.
Indeed, doing so requires taking certain risks at the moment. After all, the equipment of local troops is somewhat different from that of the main force, and after many disruptions and reorganizations, most of the experienced troops, except for a few, were upgraded during last summer's battle.
Pull away the veterans of the previous unit. When making adjustments, priority must be given to the main unit.
Nowadays, the proportion of new recruits in local troops is much higher than that of main force divisions. But in the long run, it is still beneficial to the development of the entire army. When local troops go to the front to fight, the casualties may be greater. But these troops have also achieved certain results.
The practical experience will lay a solid foundation for future promotion to the main force.
Even if the forward position is breached, the second column and the fourth column will not withdraw too far. Especially the fourth column, even if it withdraws from the front line, it will be stationed in Harbin. The first is to serve as defense in depth so that in the event of unfavorable forward war conditions,
Reinforcements are available at any time. Second, it is also to support Wang Guangyu's troops on the western front.
Moreover, Yang Zhen has long said that the boundary between local troops and the main force is not static. If the main force does not fight well, it will be demoted to a local brigade, or even split up and directly demoted to a divisional regiment. If the local troops perform well, they can also be upgraded to
Main force.
Therefore, the military region has strict regulations. In addition to the twelve battalions under the Ministry of Social Affairs, which are similar to the internal security forces of later generations of armed police forces, specializing in suppressing bandits, anti-special agents, prisoner of war camps, and key security mine security, they will also be responsible for special tasks such as large factory security in the future.
In addition, they all adopt a unified training outline, the same training standards and intensity.
Therefore, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun also paid close attention to the training of local troops, and did not relax a little because they probably would not go to the front line to participate in the war. Under the premise that the entire army uses the same training outline,
The training intensity of local troops is no worse than that of the main force.
Those cadres who were transferred to work in the local troops were probably holding their breath in their hearts. Their own requirements for troop training were also very strict. Moreover, the local troops were all new troops formed with the old troops as the backbone. There were no old troops.
The inertia of the troops, coupled with the desire to be upgraded to the main force, made the local troops more war-seeking.
Under this situation, although there are still some differences from the main force in terms of equipment and troop organization, other equipment is similar. These differences are mainly concentrated on artillery. Each military division has only one four-door main force.
The obsolete Japanese 90mm mortar battery and a four-gun Type 92 infantry artillery battery.
The brigades in each military region do not have brigade-affiliated artillery regiments, but only one artillery battalion equipped with Soviet-made 120mm or Japanese-made 150mm heavy mortars. Each military region has direct artillery units, and there are only twelve guns.
A two-battalion artillery regiment of mountain artillery and twelve 75mm field guns.
However, the technical and tactical level of these local troops is not bad. Compared with the main force, many troops are even better in some aspects due to more targeted training. For example, the brigades of the Hejiang Military Region are even better in mountain marching.
Among the main forces, they compared the Eighth Division, which was best at mountain warfare.
Therefore, Guo Bingxun took all local armed forces into consideration when formulating the round battle plan. In addition to the Nenjiang Military Region troops, the Songjiang Military Region troops, especially the Hejiang Military Region troops who have now become the rear area, must participate in the round battle.
, this is a strict rule of the headquarters.
This time local troops came to the front to participate in the battle. In order to ensure the intensity of fire support, Guo Bingxun not only left part of the artillery units in the first and fourth columns to participate in the battle, but also transferred some troops from the headquarters artillery training group to prepare for various places participating in the battle.
Troops work together.
The headquarters' plan to train the actual combat capabilities of the troops and accelerate the completion of the reorganization of the troops. If the commander below the division level did not understand it, Yang Zhen would not be angry. But Du Kaishan's incomprehension made Yang Zhen very angry. For
Yang Zhen, an old subordinate of Du Kaishan, was not polite, and his dissatisfaction even showed directly on his face.
It is true that among the three combat directions, he faced the greatest pressure in the direction where the Japanese army had the strongest strength. But this kind of pressure was a challenge and experience for him. This is the truth that if a jade is not polished, it will not become a weapon. This guy is a good piece of equipment.
Jade, but precisely because it is a good piece of jade, it requires more energy and time to carve.
It is with this mentality that it is not surprising that Du Kaishan's complaints made Yang Zhen very angry. Du Kaishan was even more frustrated when he heard that his old troops would not return to the front line after being transferred.
, Yang Zhen said with some resentment: "Aren't you, Lao Du, always very good? Even Deputy Commander Yang of the Military Region dared to contradict him. Why can't he bear such a little pressure?"
"Also, I really didn't expect that your Du Kaishan's eyelids would be so short. I always thought that playing a drum didn't require a heavy hammer, but now I see that I've misjudged the person. Or maybe you, Du Kaishan, simply don't have this ability. Go ahead.
Meet the challenge. If you can't do it, bring it up as early as possible and the headquarters can replace you. Don't let your personal reasons affect the development of the headquarters' overall intentions."
