The long-term isolation from each other has caused a lack of understanding between them. They are facing the Kwantung Army, the most elite Japanese army, and they are involved in such a large battle. It is not surprising that Wang Guangyu has such concerns.
Strange. Especially in the later stages of the battle, the coordination of troops inside and outside the pass becomes extremely critical.
The reason is simple. Once the war progresses to the point where Rehe will face not only the Kwantung Army, but also the Japanese troops stationed in North China, the North China Front Army, various Japanese divisions stationed around Pingjin, Hebei, and Zhangjiakou to the west.
The front-line Japanese garrison in Mongolia.
Although the Japanese Army's North China Front currently does not have many field divisions, and its combat effectiveness and equipment are slightly inferior to those of the Kwantung Army. But it is still a Japanese army after all, and it must not be taken lightly. The battle in May was called a great humiliation for the squadron, but for
For the Japanese army, the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was an extremely exciting one, showing the true combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in North China.
There are also the Mongolian garrison troops deployed in Chahar, Suinan and Mongolian Xinjiang, and their combat effectiveness is not bad. As an important part of the battle against the Soviet Union, its equipment is even better than that of the Japanese North China Front. We must know how many Japanese troops there will be in later generations.
Among the three tank divisions, the only one deployed overseas is the third tank tank of the division, which is deployed in the establishment of the Mongolian garrison.
Once the Anti-Japanese Alliance enters the Rehe area, the Kwantung Army will definitely fight back with all its strength in order to maintain the connections inside and outside the pass. Even the Mongolian garrison and the North China Front Army will never sit idly by. You must know that once Rehe is lost, as a contact pass,
Jinzhou, a choke point both internally and externally, has been a strategic location since ancient times, but it is directly under the frontline of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
With the loss of Rehe, the barrier of Jinzhou, Jinzhou is under the threat of the Anti-Japanese League, which means that the Beining Railway, which connects the inside and outside of the Guan, is under the direct threat of the Anti-League. As long as the Anti-League is willing, it can cut off the railway connecting the inside and outside of the Guan at any time.
The main artery Beining Railway. This is not only a threat to the Kwantung Army, but even the Japanese Army in North China will feel like a thorn in the back.
Moreover, once Rehe is lost, the direct connection between the Japanese Mongolian garrison and the Kwantung Army will also be cut off. Therefore, in the later stages of the battle, the Japanese North China Front Army and the Mongolian garrison will never sit idly by. The troops on the central and eastern fronts will initiate
Although the offensive can contain the main forces of the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army, it has no ability to contain the North China Front Army and the Mongolian garrison.
Even Wang Guangyu can judge that as long as he enters the territory of Jehol, he does not know whether the North China Front Army will be dispatched. However, the Mongolian garrison of the Japanese army stationed in Chahar will definitely move eastward with all its strength. At that time, relying solely on the simple strength of the Guanneri troops
Can the equipment contain the Mongolian garrison troops that are advancing eastward? There is also the North China Front Army, which is also a serious threat.
Seeing Wang Guangyu's concerns, Yang Zhen laughed and said: "Old Wang, you don't have to worry about this matter. The main forces in the pass are close to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in the northeast, and now all the main troops have been equipped with a full set of Japanese equipment. Although
Compared with us, it is still very poor. But at least it is not inferior to the regular army of the National Government."
"And after several months of training by the instructors we sent, the level of regular warfare has also made great progress. Coupled with the original old foundation that has experienced the test of the Long March, although it is still difficult to confront the Japanese army head-on, it is definitely better.
Things are different now.”
"The Central Committee attaches great importance to this battle. I have been transferred to the commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region as the commander of the 129th Division. The original commander of the military region should be appointed as the political commissar. These two are the famous Red Army generals.
One of the chiefs of staff is the political commissar of the First Red Army Corps, the absolute main force of the original Red Front Army. The military and political qualities of these two are much better than my half-hearted self."
"At the same time, the central government considered that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region alone would not have enough troops to carry out this operation. It also specially transferred a considerable number of the most powerful troops from the Taihang Military Region to strengthen the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. In addition to the original local armed forces
After upgrading, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region now has thirty infantry regiments with all Japanese equipment and nine fully equipped artillery regiments."
"The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has adjusted and enriched six full infantry regiments based on its own equipment and troop combat effectiveness. Although it lacks heavy weapons, the number of light and heavy machine guns is still relatively sufficient. Basically, the regiment has a heavy machine gun company.
, the battalion has a fire support platoon composed of grenades, and the squad has a light machine gun. Although the calibers of the weapons are relatively complex and the models are relatively old, the ammunition is still relatively sufficient."
"According to our three-three organization, the light weapons we allocate alone are enough to form ten infantry divisions. Although the strength and equipment of this division are not comparable to ours, the troops with full Japanese-style equipment, coupled with the innate talents of the troops,
The political education factors and combat effectiveness are absolutely different from those before."
"Similar to the fact that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has been greatly strengthened, the Jinsui Military Region, which serves to contain the Mongolian garrison and the Japanese army in Shanxi, is also equipped with ten fully-armed infantry regiments and six artillery regiments. And using the ammunition we provided,
And the original equipment was concentrated and adjusted to enrich the six fully-organized infantry regiments."
"As the second-line Taihang Military Region, it also re-equipped ten infantry regiments and four artillery regiments. At the same time, it adjusted and enriched five infantry regiments, and the main force was basically maintained at full strength. It can carry out large-scale operations behind enemy lines.
Launch a breaking attack to contain the Japanese North China Front."
"However, after all, the strength of the Guannei team is still a bit weak. From equipment change to training, it only takes a few months. I am afraid that the combat effectiveness is still far from what we expected. Especially in terms of heavy equipment, whether it is with us
, compared with the Japanese army, the gap is still quite large. In particular, they have to contain the Japanese North China Front Army and the Mongolian garrison troops from moving northward."
"I estimate that together with the Jinsui Military Region in the west and the Taihang Military Region troops used as second-line troops, ten to fifteen regiments can be mobilized to go north to fight in Jehol, which is already their best. So after going south, in
You still have to rely on us on the battlefield."
After saying this, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at Wang Guangyu, hesitated slightly, but still said: "Old Wang, this time you lead the troops to attack, you must restrain the troops and handle the relationship with the comrades in the pass. Don't
Forget, we also came through the same difficult conditions, and even our situation at the beginning was not as good as the comrades in the customs."
"We are able to get to where we are today, although we have put in a lot of effort and cost, but there is a certain amount of luck involved. And a large part of it is due to the convenient location and international assistance. No.
With these, we may not be able to reach the level of the Kwanai troops. Therefore, you must give enough respect to the Kwanai troops."
"I still know your character and character, Lao Wang, and I'm not worried about you. What I'm worried about is those people below who are bullish all day long and think that I am the best in the world after winning a few battles."
They are all grown on the top of their heads, and they are arrogant and powerful generals who refuse to obey anyone."
"Especially the First Division, which claims to be the best division in the world all day long, must be strictly controlled. This First Division is indeed very powerful in combat, and has performed outstandingly in several battles. This mobilization started after receiving the order
It only took less than six hours to complete the assembly and loading of the truck, which showed a very high level of quality."
"But it is this First Division that is a little too arrogant. Not to mention fighting with other troops on the battlefield to grab trophies, even when conducting comprehensive exercises with other troops at the Fujin Comprehensive Training Base, they are fighting with each other all day long.
When other troops fight, there is hardly a day that goes by without causing some trouble. They are fierce against the Japanese on the battlefield, but they are no slouch when they are off the battlefield."
"It even happened that two battalions went out to fight with the Sixth Division, and they beat up the deputy political commissar and the director of the Political Department of the Sixth Division who came out to start the fight. The so-called troops that stand out from both ends are this kind of troops. For this kind of troops
Troops must be strictly disciplined."
"We are people's soldiers. We cannot be a field army on the battlefield and still a field army off the battlefield. After the battle is launched, you go to their division commanders and political commissars and tell them that if the incident with the Guannei troops at the Fujin Comprehensive Training Base happens again, they will
The division commander and political commissar will hand over the troops. Since they cannot lead the troops well, replace them with someone who can."
Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Yang Jingyu, who was in charge of local armed forces in the military region, didn't care, but Wang Guangyu could only shake his head with a wry smile. What else could he say? The First Division has developed this kind of behavior, and most of the faults are there.
In front of me, No. 1, who kept saying that he wanted to be disciplined strictly.
Li Mingfeng, the current commander of the First Division, is one of Yang Zhen's most valued division-level military cadres and an old subordinate of the political commissar. Every time the troops of the First Division cause trouble, Yang Zhen always says that he will be dealt with severely, but when the board is raised,
Although it is lifted high, it always falls gently, even if it is cursed a few times.
When he arrived at the political commissar, the criticism was extremely severe, but the actual handling was equally lenient. Li Mingfeng himself has a somewhat unruly and bold character. In the words of his old superior, the current commander of the second column Wang Xiaoming, this
This guy is just a thorn in the side that there is nothing he dare not do in this world.
In addition, if No. 1 and No. 2 are so used to each other, who else is better? If the division commanders are like this, how can one of the troops below be better? In addition, the combat effectiveness of this unit is indeed outstanding.
God is causing trouble? As for the fight with the Sixth Division, Wang Guangyu has also heard about it.
The commander of the Sixth Division also has a hot temper. If these two guys encounter this, he will pinch one of them first. Then the troops below will be upset? If the political commissar of the first division is still clear-headed and joins forces with the political commissar of the sixth division to control it.
Overall situation. The deputy political commissar who was beaten was also very generous and did not pursue it too closely.
In addition, the two sides were relatively restrained in the battle, only using fists and kicks, and did not use any weapons other than belts. Oh, by the way, this is the rule for those battalion and company cadres. Fighting between their various units is
There are private regulations that prohibit the use of any weapons, including sticks and bricks. Except for fists and kicks, the most you can use is the belt issued by the army. If the organized unit causes trouble, the other unit that takes action must also use it.
They are all under the same organizational structure, and you are not allowed to bully the minority by bullying them.
Even the sticks were not used, so naturally there would be no casualties, not even a few fractures. Most of the people had flesh wounds at best. I am afraid that a large number of people would have to be dealt with. As for the two division commanders who caused the conflict, they were very
