In response to Guo Bingxun's consolation, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Lao Guo, don't worry, I'm fine. However, although this battle was launched in a hurry, for us, it is necessary. [.Com text]
There is no strategic room for maneuver, and when the Japanese and puppet troops are besieging us, we will not even have a place to turn around."
"You also know that fighting to the death is not my style. Only by looking for fighter planes to annihilate the enemy on the move can we win the greatest victory with the smallest casualties. If the Japanese and puppet troops were to compress it into such a small area from Heli to Luobei,
If you can’t even move your butt in space, how can you talk about annihilating enemies in sports?”
"Through this battle, we have captured all of Foshan, Luobei, Suibin, Tangyuan, Heli, Fengshan, and parts of Wuyun and Suiling. It seems that the area of the base area has been expanded, and there is room for maneuver.
But in fact it has not fundamentally changed our current situation."
"Now it seems that although the Japanese army has not launched a large-scale siege on me, their strategic intentions are already obvious. They want to compress us into a sparsely populated area west of the Songhua River and east of the Xiaoxinan Mountains, causing us to lose soldiers and
The supply of food is weakening our strength bit by bit."
"Although these counties are not small in area, except for Tangyuan, which has a slightly larger population, the population of the other larger counties is only 50,000. The population of the smaller Fengshan county is only 30,000. Foshan, the northernmost county, has a population of only 30,000.
The two counties of Wuyun together have less than 20,000 people, and the agricultural population is even less. In this environment, it is difficult for us to get enough soldiers, let alone get enough food."
Having said this, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "The size of the army has expanded, but its combat effectiveness has declined. The number of people has increased, and the amount of various supplies required has also increased significantly. As the head of the army, we are under great pressure.
Ah. We can't follow the old path of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. We were trapped by the Japanese army in the deep mountains and old forests and couldn't get out. There was no supply or replacement of soldiers. We were starving to death."
"Although we can still maintain supplies for a while now, due to the environment and situation we are in, we must prepare for a rainy day. We cannot wait until we get on the sedan to have our ears pricked. That way, by the time something happens, it will be too late to do anything.
"
Yang Zhen took a sip of water, moistened his thirsty throat and said: "But Lao Guo, you are right about one thing. We are all a little hot-headed from top to bottom, thinking that if we win a few battles in a row, I will be the best in the world.
First, ignore all the Japanese and puppet troops. This setback will allow them, including us, to cool down their heads that are burning to 40 degrees Celsius."
Having said this, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said firmly: "Training, training for all. Not only new recruits need to be trained, but veterans also need to be trained. Now that a month has passed, the bodies of the rescued workers should have generally recovered.
.We need to fully restore the training intensity and system we had at Qunce Mountain. Take out some of our reserve ammunition and practice hard."
"The Japanese will not leave us much time. Only by winning the battle can we become stronger and stronger. Only by wiping out the Japanese and puppet troops can we gain more living space for ourselves. And all of this is to
Take strength as the basis. I have said several times that what we need is not an army made of sand that will collapse at the first touch and can only fight with the wind and cannot fight against the wind."
"Now our equipment is enough to meet the needs of the troops. Compared with the lack of guns and ammunition of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it is like heaven and earth. With such a good foundation, we cannot train an iron-clad army. You and I,
And those regiment leaders, political commissars, how can they have the face to meet people."
"Lao Guo, you are good at calligraphy. Tomorrow you will organize the scholars from the Political Department to write a few large characters: sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. Hang one on the training ground of every regiment. Tell the cadres clearly.
, Warrior, your slackness on the training ground today will be repaid with your life on the battlefield tomorrow."
After that, Yang Zhen picked up the phone and directly called Zhang Zhenhua, the political commissar who was temporarily in charge of the logistics department after Peng Dingjie crossed the river with the commander-in-chief, and asked him to rush to the headquarters with Zhang Ting immediately.
After recruiting Zhang Zhenhua, Yang Zhen said straight to the point: "Immediately transfer 600,000 rounds of ammunition, and allocate 300,000 rounds to each supplementary regiment. The remaining 300,000 rounds will be allocated to each main regiment, and the remaining
One hundred thousand rations were allocated to the two divisional cadre regiments with 50,000 rations for each regiment."
"In addition, you are allocating 300 rounds of mountain and field artillery shells to the artillery regiments. Each regiment has mortars, and infantry artillery shells are allocated according to the number of ten rounds per gun. In addition, you are allocating 40,000 Japanese-style hand grenades.
All of them will be allocated to the supplementary regiment. Each recruit will be given two coins."
Hearing that Yang Zhen actually wanted to allocate such a large amount of ammunition, Zhang Zhenhua, who had just made a fortune, was shocked. He thought that there was going to be another big military operation soon, and he quickly asked: "Commander, what are you doing?"
Will there be another military operation if we allocate so much ammunition next time?"
In response to Zhang Zhenhua's question, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Within two months, before the Japanese army makes any major moves, the troops will not have any combat missions other than training. These ammunition are for the training of various troops."
Yang Zhen's answer made Zhang Zhenhua stunned. Such a large amount seemed to him an astronomical figure. It was enough ammunition for the two main forces of the Anti-Alliance Third Route Army to fight for a year, but it was only used for training? Yang Zhen is like this
He felt that this was a waste of money, as he had stayed in the Anti-Japanese War for too long and was used to living beyond his means and had to rely on diligence and frugality to survive.
Regarding Zhang Zhenhua's astonished expression, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Is this still a lot? These ammunitions seem to be a large amount, but on average each recruit only has fifteen rounds of ammunition for training. If the veterans do not use the unit's own
Counting the ammunition reserves, the average is not even five rounds."
"Comrade, these are already the lowest numbers. You can't let the new recruits go to the battlefield without even firing a bullet, right? That's not called fighting, that's asking them to die. In that case, we like
Anyone who is a commander is committing a crime. Go ahead. If you don’t want to let go of your children, you won’t be able to trap the wolf. How can you train the troops well if you don’t use some of your wealth?”
Zhang Zhenhua shook his head and said: "Commander, it's not that I can't bear to part with it. Anyway, I have also been a division political commissar, and I understand what you are saying. It's just that the ammunition in this inventory is in addition to the ones you sent some time ago.
In addition, Japanese ammunition is now slightly insufficient."
"The reserve quantity of Type 38 rifle ammunition and machine gun ammunition is still acceptable. Even if they are allocated according to your request, there will still be a slight surplus. However, the 7.7mm heavy machine gun ammunition used by the Type 92 heavy machine gun is different from the Japanese Type 97 heavy machine gun.
, combined with Type 91 grenades, the reserve quantity can only be maintained at a low number temporarily."
"I made statistics and found that when the army fought a medium-sized battle like Guanmenzuizi Mountain, the amount of ammunition consumed by a regiment was even more than the ammunition consumption of the Anti-Alliance Third Route Army in a year during its heyday.
"
"Our production capacity is still very limited. In addition to a small number of mortar shells, Japanese mountain field artillery and infantry artillery shells have warheads and primers in stock. However, because of the propellant, we must give priority to reloading infantry ammunition and supporting mortars.
production, so we can’t produce it yet. We can only rely on seizures and previous reserves.”
"The reloaded infantry ammunition mainly focuses on rifles, light machine gun ammunition and much-needed submachine gun ammunition, as well as the transformation of Japanese hand grenades."
"In addition, in order to trial and produce rockets, a large amount of smokeless gunpowder reserves were consumed. Now the amount of smokeless gunpowder we have on hand is not much. We can only guarantee the largest rifle bullets and light machine gun ammunition required for reloading. For heavy-duty heavy
The progress of machine gun ammunition and reloading has been relatively slow. The quantity has always been small."
"If too much is transferred at once, once there is a big operation, how much ammunition will be supplied? Especially for heavy machine gun ammunition. Once the inventory is depleted, the captured quantity will not be able to meet the demand, which will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops."
"Besides, we can only modify Japanese-style grenades now, and our own production capacity is extremely limited. Even if we turn on the horsepower to produce, we can only produce more than a thousand pieces every day. The deployment of these 40,000 Japanese-style grenades is almost all of today's production
The inventory is half full.”
Zhang Zhenhua’s worries are not unreasonable. Due to the limitation of raw materials, the military production capacity is still limited to reloading light weapons ammunition, and even some ammunition can only rely on consumption of reserves. So many ammunition were allocated at once.
Training is indeed a bit difficult.
But as a former political commissar of the Anti-Union Division, Zhang Zhenhua knew that what Yang Zhen said was true. Letting a unit that had not even fired a few rounds of live ammunition go to the front line was almost equivalent to asking them to die. It should be allocated for training.
Ammunition still needs to be distributed. At least the recruits should know how to shoot and not be afraid when they hear the sound of gunshots.
After quickly weighing the various ammunition reserves in stock and the number of weapons and equipment in the army, Zhang Zhenhua looked at Yang Zhen and gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, Commander. Although the number of Japanese heavy machine gun ammunition is insufficient, the rifle
And the ammunition for the light machine gun is still guaranteed."
"The ammunition for the many Italian-made rifles and French light and heavy machine guns you picked up in the north is also sufficient. I think so, first of all, all the supplementary regiments will be equipped with Italian-made rifles and French light and heavy machine guns. The Japanese that are being issued now will
All weapons must be recovered and used as reserves. We will change the equipment when the new recruits leave the army."
"These Italian-made rifles were all produced in the 1920s. Although they have been well maintained, they are not rusty and have not been used. After all, they have been produced for more than ten years. Whether it is reliability or other aspects, they are excellent.
It can no longer be compared with the Type 38 rifles in our inventory that have a maximum production age of less than five years."
"Moreover, no matter how well-maintained the ammunition is, it has a shelf life. The ammunition with the shortest production period was produced before the September 18th Incident, which is at least eight years ago. If we don't use it as soon as possible, according to our current storage
Judging from the method, these ammunition may be in danger of being scrapped."
"Although these Italian-made rifles also use 65mm caliber rifle bullets, the bullet length is 52mm. They cannot be used interchangeably with the 6.5mm Type 38 rifle bullets. The ammunition is
The performance is also not as good as the Tomosaka rifle ammunition used in the Type 38 rifle."
"If this batch of weapons is to be transferred to field troops, and our logistics supply personnel are still inexperienced, if they are used by the wrong person on the battlefield, it will be a big mistake."
"In my opinion, rather than risk using two types of 6.5mm ammunition that cannot be used universally at the same time after going to the battlefield, causing supply chaos, it is better to take out this batch of Italian rifles and use them exclusively for training of new recruits."
"These Italian-made rifles should not be used on the battlefield unless absolutely necessary. Anyway, the structures of manual rifles are similar. As long as you learn to use one, you will be familiar with other similar weapons."
"In addition, at the bottom of the cave where the arms are stored, we also found a batch of Austrian Mannlicher rifles produced in 2006 that were not on the list you gave. This rifle is similar to the 7.92mm rifle we currently have in small quantities.
The Czech and Liao-13 rifle ammunition can be used interchangeably, and the product quality is better than that of Italian products, so we will continue to use it as reserve equipment."
Regarding Zhang Zhenhua's suggestion to replace the weapons of the supplementary regiment and replace the currently used Japanese weapons with the Italian-made rifles and French-made light and heavy machine guns handed over by Ma Chunsheng, Yang Zhen thought about it for a while, turned his head and looked at himself slowly
Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "I think it's okay."
"But as you said, no matter how well maintained these rifles are, they have been produced for more than ten years. It is still unknown how reliable they are. Before issuing them, you need to organize a group of experienced veterans to deal with them.
Before issuing firearms, conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that they will not cause any accidents after they are issued."
"The chief of staff and I will also issue a special order for each unit to collect the shell casings after firing live rounds and hand them back to the logistics department. These Italian-made rifle shells, including these, will be prepared for reloading. Don't we have a large amount on hand?
The primer for the Tomosaka rifle cartridge? They all use the same Berdan primer, so it should be universal."
Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "Political Commissar Zhang, you are an old comrade. The commander-in-chief and Lao Peng are not here anymore. Now as the political commissar of the Logistics Department, you have to grasp the party and government work. You have a heavy burden.
We must not only do a good job in supplying tens of thousands of troops, but also do a good job in the production of arsenals. At the same time, we must take precautions and prepare winter cotton-padded clothes in advance.”
"There is an old saying: Before the troops move, food and grass go first. But now it is not just food and grass, but also ammunition. It is not easy to feed these more than 40,000 troops. You and the comrades in the Logistics Department must work harder. You are also the resistance
Let’s unite with the veteran soldiers, don’t let the tragedy of our soldiers freezing to death and starving to death happen again. Please.”
After saying that, Yang Zhen turned to Zhang Ting and said: "Xiao Zhang, you are the organizationally appointed director of the health department of the logistics department. Now I will give you a promotion, and you will also serve as the deputy director of the logistics department. I will go to political commissar Li.
explain."
"In your daily work, you have to help Lao Zhang take on more responsibilities. In addition to organizing medical staff to treat injured soldiers during training and doing a good job in the overall epidemic prevention work of the army, you have to do more about other things.
Catch some."
"Especially the army uniforms, production and construction groups and other aspects that are more suitable for your work, you have to pay more attention. Let Political Commissar Zhang focus on military production, weapons and ammunition distribution, and food supply."
"Jiangbei has agreed to our request, and a batch of military raw material production lines and a large amount of raw materials will soon arrive. Lao Zhang has a heavy burden now. He must keep strict confidentiality and organize the reception, transportation and installation work. At the same time,
There are also other aspects of work that need to be focused on. You must do your best to help Lao Zhang do his next job well."
