Having said this, Yi Danping pondered for a moment and said: "The Japanese army is not a fool, nor is it an army with extremely poor adaptability and poor reaction. Although its senior commanders who studied at the Army University have average strategic vision, their tactics are
The vision is quite accurate. And its response is much faster than the average army."
"They know very well that once this situation occurs, it is the most dangerous for them. Will they not use all their strength to launch a counterattack and push us back to the north of the Lalin River as much as possible? Even if they cannot counterattack our army,
Return to the north of the Lalin River, but at least block our army on the current front so that our army cannot pose a threat to its depth."
"Lao Du, the seventh division of the Japanese army is one of the senior divisions of the Japanese army. Its combat effectiveness is also very strong among the various divisions of the Japanese army. It is no less than the two aces of the Japanese army, the second and the sixth.
Division. And you should be very clear about the true combat effectiveness of the Japanese army."
"Furthermore, judging from the current intelligence, the total strength of the Japanese 7th Division deployed in Fuyu, Yushu, and Shulan, plus the accompanying infantry, cavalry, artillery, and tank units, has now reached
It has reached 40,000 people. The number of heavy equipment, especially the number of large-caliber artillery, even has a slight advantage."
"Judging from the numbers of Japanese troops that have appeared on the battlefield now, not counting infantry and cavalry, there are two regiments of field heavy artillery alone, and a regiment of tanks. In addition to the original artillery of the Seventh Division
The regiment has at least more than sixty artillery pieces with a caliber of over 100 millimeters."
"And for Lieutenant General Noboru Kunisaki, the commander of the 7th Division, Xinjing can be said to be right behind the defense line of his 7th Division. If they retreat, Xinjing will be completely exposed to the muzzle of our army. And Xinjing
You, Lao Du, know exactly where it is. Think about it, in this situation, even if Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki is reluctant, he can only resist desperately."
"Even if you retreat ten thousand steps, the Kwantung Army does not care about the gains and losses of Xinjing. But Lao Du, you have fought with the Japanese army both inside and outside the pass. I think you should know the fighting style of the Japanese army. Whether the Japanese army is
When did any division or independent mixed brigade retreat without a fight?"
"Actually, Lao Du, our army basically does not have any advantage in terms of total strength. If part of the 7th Division had not been attracted by Lao Wang, our fight would be even more difficult now. The three of us
Division, plus the attached heavy artillery and tank troops, the total strength is less than 50,000."
"The current strength of our troops and that of the Seventh Division can be said to be roughly equal. Even in terms of total strength, we only have a relative advantage. We have less than 50,000 troops to deal with more than 40,000 Japanese pockets.
And the opening is so wide that it is almost impossible to form an absolute advantage in any direction of force."
"Lao Du, you have made a mistake that Japanese generals often make. If the mesh of a net is too wide, the final result may be that nothing can be caught. On the contrary, the struggling fish may be forced to death and the net will be torn. And
Lao Du, don't forget, there is still a division of the 28th Division in Fuyu."
"Adding the total strength of these two Japanese armies, the total strength of the Japanese army in front of us is definitely not as simple as only 40,000 people. In fact, the comparison of strength between the enemy and ourselves has reached a ratio of one to one. Even the Second Division
Part of the 28th Division has been pinned down, but they still have a considerable number of troops on the battlefield in front of us."
"Lao Du, instead of scolding your mother because of the unfavorable progress in the battle, it is better to think carefully about how to make good use of the second echelon of the 11th Division in the next battle. As long as the 11th Division is put into the key position, you
The goal at the beginning of the campaign was not without any hope of being achieved.”
"After all, the current war situation has not reached the point of no return. And overall, it is relatively beneficial to us. To the east of us, there is Lao Wang's second column. To the west of us, there is Lao Chen's
A second division. In the entire Fuyu and Yushu battlefields, generally speaking, our troops and equipment still have a considerable advantage."
"The Japanese 7th Division and 28th Division in front of us are actually divided into four parts by our three sharp knives. In addition, we still have relative air superiority. As long as we carefully adjust our deployment, this 7th Division
Even if the 28th Division and the 28th Division are at crossroads, they are still made of human flesh and are not indestructible."
"The Second Division's offensive on the east bank of the Second Songhua River is progressing relatively smoothly, and has also attracted a considerable part of the 28th Division's troops. If we can cooperate well with the Second Division, even if we cannot defeat the Seventh Division
, but there is no problem in encircling and annihilating the 28th Division, whose forces are divided into two non-connected parts. If the 28th Division is defeated, our chess game on the center line will be completely solved."
Yi Danping's sincere words still had a considerable effect. Du Kaishan put down the telescope in his hand and thought for a long time. He turned around and stared at the map. After a long time, he said: "Old Yi, you are right. Instead of being here,
If you are sulking here, you might as well consider using the 11th Division where it should be used."
After Du Kaishan carefully considered the current battle situation, he said to the combat staff beside him: "Order the Ninth Division to terminate the original combat plan to seize Yushu County. In addition to controlling the highway from Fuyu to Yushu with firepower, strengthen it with no less than one
With all the strength of the regiment, attack and advance westward with all our strength."
"We must cross the Huitang Valley by force before early tomorrow morning and seize the Houdafangshen, Simajia, and the front line of Xin'an Town in the southeast direction of Sancha River. The main force of the Ninth Division will launch defense on the spot, and we must tightly entangle Gaojiatun.
As for the Japanese 26th Regiment and the 70th Regiment of the 25th Division on the front line of Dawulabazigou."
"While ensuring the safety of the flanks of the westward advancing troops, use one force to defend the Gaojiatun and Hanjia lines at all costs and block the Japanese reinforcements on the Fuyu line in Yushu. Let them kill as much as possible in the field.
The Japanese army is powerful. If the two main regiments and the two Japanese regiments are allowed to break through the blocking line, then their division commanders and political commissars can go home and take care of their children."
"Order the 11th Division to turn around on the Sifangtai and Tengjiadian lines where it is currently located and attack the Gongpengzi line in the southwest with all its strength. At all costs, cut off the second Japanese army on the Yaojiagouzi line in the shortest possible time.
The connection between the 30th Regiment of the 18th Division and the main force of the division."
"After arriving at the Gongpengzi line, in addition to launching an attack eastward with the 32nd Regiment and cooperating with the Seventh Division to complete the Japanese encirclement of the line from Yaojiagou to Xingshugou, the main force then attacked westward on the spot, cooperating with the Second Division
Encircle and annihilate the main force of the 28th Division in Buyeo."
"Order the commander and political commissar of the Seventh Division to take out twenty regiments, commanded by the division's political commissar, and attack in the southeast direction. No later than midnight tonight, the front line of Shituchengzi in the northeast must be seized. After arriving at the front line of Shituchengzi, the Ninth Division
The westward advancing troops were under the unified command of the Seventh Division and completed the encirclement of the Sancha River line."
"As long as we can seize the front line of Sancha River and cut off the connection between the 7th Division and the 28th Division, I don't think the 28th Division can turn around since it already has no troops to send.
Chance. You are right, Lao Yi, as long as we defeat this 28th Division, our entire chess game will be alive."
Yi Dangping did not express any opinions on Du Kaishan's latest adjustments and deployment. Yi Dangping has always been very clear about what he should do. In combat, whether he served as political commissar of a military division, division political commissar, or political commissar of a column, he always stood guard
The bottom line is to try not to interfere with the work of military commanders as much as possible.
Yi Dangping clearly knows what his strengths and weaknesses are. As a veteran college cadre who was transferred from the Guan internal force and participated in the December 9th Movement, Yi Dangping has been engaged in political work since he joined the army. Although many troops now have
There is no separation between military and political affairs. There are not a few political commissars who can fight, and even those whose command level is above that of military cadres. Moreover, many military cadres themselves are political cadres who have switched careers.
Yi Dangping is very clear about where his weaknesses are. Although he has been studying hard, this shortcoming cannot be made up for overnight. Therefore, he will never interfere with the command of military cadres on the battlefield, but not interfering does not mean that
He turned a blind eye to some of the mistakes that military cadres often make when commanding.
When necessary, he will take some roundabout ways. But he will not go straight to the point and make the military commander unable to come to the stage. This is why he can work well with any partner, even those who are difficult to get along with.
The reason for the basic harmony in getting along. But this does not mean that Yi Dangping will not stick to his principles when necessary.
On the contrary, his principles are quite strong. But his working methods are very flexible and he never gives rigid lectures. In addition, his cultural level is very high and his eloquence is also quite outstanding. At work, he always has a bowl of water.
Therefore, no matter where he works, he is deeply loved by cadres and soldiers.
If Yi Dangping does not interfere with Du Kaishan's deployment, Du Kaishan will naturally not look for trouble. And based on Du Kaishan's character, although he does what is good most of the time, most of the time he will not easily do anything about his military deployment.
Seek the opinion of your own political commissar. Especially since the political commissar's resume has almost nothing to do with the military since the day he joined the army.
Of course, if this political commissar is his old partner who is very congenial with him, forget about Tao Jingfei who always gets into trouble with him. Although Tao Jingfei was the political commissar at that time, he was still a military cadre at heart. That kind of military commander is on the battlefield
His unique restless character is quite strong.
When two people get together, there is nothing in the world that they dare not do. Therefore, Du Kaishan gets along quite well with Tao Jingfei, his first partner in the Anti-League. Many things are decided by the two of them together.
. Of course, Du Kaishan still respected the political commissar Yi Dangping in other matters.
Fortunately, Yi Dangping also respects military commanders very much and will not easily interfere with their orders. Unlike some political commissars who always make irresponsible remarks about the deployment of military commanders. The two of them get along well.
It can be considered relatively consistent, at least there are no irreconcilable conflicts arising from the issue of who has the final say.
