Looking at the back of the cavalry brigade commander hurriedly leaving, Wang Guangyu turned to Li Mingfeng and the armored brigade commander and said: "After your division enters the territory of Xiwujimqin Banner, with a strength of no less than one regiment, and select
Under the command of a capable person, the two tank companies attached to the armored brigade and the divisional artillery unit form a reinforced detachment."
"Forcibly penetrate the Balin Right Banner along the north bank of the Balagargaole River, seize the line from Daban Town to Halagatu, cut off the communication line from Linxi to the Balin Left Banner, and complete the communication with the Japanese troops in Lindong and Linxi.
Divide. You must move quickly without any delay in the process."
"Once the cavalry brigade starts fighting, our campaign intentions will no longer be concealed and will be completely exposed. After the 23rd Division discovers our true intention of outflanking the troops, it will inevitably shrink its main force. If it cannot be caught before the second
Before the main force of the Thirteenth Division shrinks, if we seize Daban Town, our subsequent operations will be passive."
"Although there are many rivers on this route, they are mainly seasonal rivers. Although most rivers currently have water, the amount of water is not large. Although the terrain is mainly hilly, most areas are gentle and should not
It will affect your marching speed. But there is a sandy area there, so be careful when marching. Don't let your vehicle get stuck in the quicksand."
"Tell the leader of the team that I don't care what the situation is in Daban Town. I have only one mission for him, which is to get stuck between Lin Xi and Lin Dong. Even if the Japanese army is besieging him from all sides, he still has to give it to me.
Hold the front line of Daban Town. The only thing I told him was that even if the entire regiment is wiped out, he is not allowed to take a step back."
"The rest of the troops, except for refueling halfway, are heading towards the Linxi front line at full speed. Tell your troops that even if all the cars are broken down, I will not be allowed to stop in the middle. If there is a car failure, I will not care about the failure.
Regardless of the size, I will use tanks to push them to the side of the road. Including any faults in the tanks, no matter what the fault is that cannot be repaired within a short period of time, I will blow them all up."
"Gather the engineers directly under the first division and the engineering companies of each regiment, and prepare wood. Tie a few ropes to the back of each tank. If the quantity on hand is not enough, demolish all the houses along the way.
Door panels and beams. When necessary, the number of three pontoons must be guaranteed in the shortest possible time.”
"Li Mingfeng, go back and tell me that Ren Guang will take out all those empty gasoline cans of his. If they are hidden or tucked away because of his pettiness, I will settle the accounts with him. I will take out the armored brigade's
The refueling trucks are also given to him and he is under unified command. Let him organize these refueling trucks on a platoon basis and deploy several mobile refueling stations along the marching route of the troops."
"We cannot group the vehicles separately to the roadside when they are out of fuel, as we did before, and wait for the subsequent refueling trucks to arrive before refueling. We must ensure that the vehicles can be refueled at any time. If it is because of a vehicle or a tank,
If he falls behind without adding fuel, I will ask him to settle the score with Ren Guang."
After explaining Li Mingfeng, Wang Guangyu turned to the commander of the armored brigade and said: "Your armored brigade will lead the entire army. Once it encounters an obstruction by the Japanese and puppet troops, use tanks and firepower to clear the way for me. In a word, everything will start with
The ultimate goal is to reach Linxi in the shortest time. From East Ujimqin Banner to Linxi, it is less than 300 kilometers away, and we must arrive within eight hours."
"It is nearly 300 kilometers from our current position to Linxi County. On average, we will march about 40 kilometers per hour. If there are good highway conditions, we can cover these 300 kilometers.
Of course I’m not worried. But you’ve also seen the road conditions along the way. We can reach forty kilometers per hour, which is already the maximum limit.”
"So we must seize all the time. Because we don't have much time to waste along the way. If we feel sorry for this thing now, we will pay more in the near future. Don't feel bad for those tanks and cars.
, as long as we achieve the predetermined goals and complete the tasks assigned to us by the headquarters, we will be replenished on the 1st."
"There is also the Yongbei Airport of the Japanese army in Linxi. No matter what the price is, I must win it intact. The headquarters also needs this airport as a transit airport to provide air transportation supplies for the troops leaving the customs in the customs.
This airport must not be destroyed by me."
Wang Guangyu's rare categorical words, even Li Mingfeng, who always liked to bargain, did not dare to refute. The two men immediately returned to their respective units to prepare separately. Looking at the backs of the two men, Sun Wenjiu, the chief of staff of the roundabout detachment, hesitated.
He said: "Commander, do you want to report this adjustment to the headquarters?"
"Our original battle plan was to fight steadily. We would first seize the East Ujimqin Banner to ensure our supply channels through Outer Mongolia when necessary. Once you change the deployment, we will be fighting without a rear. Give up the East and West Ujimqin Banner.
Are you considering the two flags of Zhumuqin?"
"The Japanese army's battlefield response efficiency has always been very high. If the Japanese army in Chabei or even Chanan counterattacks against our army, all our supply lines will be cut off. You also know that the enemy's Mengjiang garrison in Zhangjiakou has another division.
regiment and a mobile unit of a cavalry brigade."
"If there is a situation in Chahar, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiakou will inevitably be dispatched. If we abandon the East and West Ujimqin Banner, especially the Yanshan Mountains in the south of the East Ujimqin Banner, which can be used as a favorable blocking position, we are likely to fight against
When the 23rd Division was fighting, it was in danger of being attacked from both sides."
"But if we rely solely on air transportation, can the amount of supplies we can get meet our operational needs? Now the wartime ammunition consumption of the entire army is more than ten times, or even dozens of times, than in the past. There are also a large number of mechanized troops using
We all rely on air transportation for our oil and fuel, and the headquarters, which also needs to take care of the supply of troops leaving customs, is unable to bear this cost."
"Also, from the perspective of the combat tasks assigned to us by the headquarters, cooperating with the troops leaving the pass and opening up communication lines with the pass are top priorities. As for annihilating the 23rd Division, it is only a secondary task. We will now focus our main energy on
Will this 23rd Division have an impact on the strategic intentions of the headquarters?"
"And we have to consider the reaction speed of the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou. The headquarters has called us several times to inform us that the exchange of telegrams between the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army and the Mongolian garrison army has been extremely frequent in the past two days. Let us deal with the Japanese army on the front line in Zhangjiakou, Chanan.
As well as the Japanese military operations in the direction of Peiping, you must pay more attention."
"While we were resting in Outer Mongolia today, the telegrams sent to us by the Kanai troops repeatedly mentioned that the Japanese North China Front Army had transferred back all the Japanese divisions that participated in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. The Japanese troops in the direction of Peiping also concentrated one division and
Some of the artillery units have been put on alert. Even some of the tank units have been loaded onto trains."
"Furthermore, at several railway stations in Peiping such as Fengtai, Nanyuan, and Qinghua, several military trains have been mobilized that are ready to move at any time. The direction in which these military locomotives are anchored is pointing to the northeast. Commander, regarding the current situation
, should we be more cautious?"
In response to Sun Wenjiu's worries, Wang Guangyu waved his hand and said: "What are you asking for? If we don't eat this 23rd Division, how can we complete the task of opening up the communication line that the headquarters has given us? Is it considered completed if we meet up with the troops leaving the pass?
Mission accomplished? Unless we get rid of the obstacle of the 23rd Division and the personnel in the customs, our material transportation will still be unable to proceed."
"Before we set off on the 1st, we had repeatedly told us to act with caution after going south, and not to delay the war due to indecision when encountering problems. It is easy for us to send the telegram, but after the translator has finished translating it, we can send it to the other side.
.The translation is being completed over there, and the head of the headquarters will study it again and send back the conclusion. After this back and forth, no matter how excellent our communication equipment is and the communication is smooth, we will not be able to get down for more than an hour or two."
"That is to say, it will take at least an hour for us to wait for the reply to our request. Brother Comrade, you are also a veteran. What does one hour on the battlefield mean? You and I both know very well. Maybe it is on the battlefield.
The fleeting fighter planes are the blood of the soldiers. This matter has been settled. If the headquarters investigates, I will bear the responsibility alone."
"Now for the Japanese troops in Zhangjiakou, what I'm worried about is not that they will attack. What I'm more worried about is that they won't move. With action, we can have a better judgment on their next strategic intention. If they don't move, we have to think
It is difficult to judge their true intentions. Brother Comrade, when we are fighting, it is not pleasant to have an enemy hanging behind your butt and unable to figure out their movements."
After Wang Guangyu finished speaking, Yi Jianping on the side also said: "I agree with the commander's idea. On the battlefield, hesitation can only waste fighter opportunities. And this waste requires the blood of our soldiers to make up for it.
If the headquarters wants to pursue any responsibilities, I, as a political commissar, will bear it jointly with the commander. Lao Sun, don’t hesitate and follow the commander’s orders to deploy.”
Seeing that the commander and the political commissar were willing to share responsibilities, Sun Wenjiu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he swallowed all the words back into his stomach. It was not that he was worried about who the headquarters would hold responsible after the incident.
The worry is that it will affect the overall strategic deployment of the headquarters. But the two military and political officials have the same opinion. What can he, the chief of staff, say?
After Sun Wenjiu turned around to set up, Wang Guangyu looked at the back of the old man, shook his head, turned around and got into his car with Yi Jianping. This old man was good at everything and brave in battle. But there was
When I was in office, I was too rigid in executing orders from my superiors, which could even be said to be rigid. Being a chief of staff or director of the political department was fine, but being a military and political officer was a bit inferior.
This is also the main reason why No. 1 always makes him the chief of staff instead of letting him serve as a military officer such as a division commander based on his qualifications. He is not even allowed to hold the deputy position that needs to be his own when necessary.
.I am just worried that this problem of his will cause him to miss the mark at the critical moment.
However, he is not the only one who has this problem. Except for some cadres from the Third Route Army, most of them have this problem. Especially the more military cadres, the more prominent this characteristic is. On the contrary, it is those who came from the Third Route Army.
Political cadres should be more flexible.
It is impossible to say that these people are brave in fighting, but they are very poor in flexibility when performing tasks. Even to say ugly things, many times they are afraid of falling leaves on their heads. As for the reason for this situation, Wang Guangyu naturally
It's clear. But if they don't say it themselves, how can they talk about it? I just hope they can resolve their knot as soon as possible.
