Having said this, the commander couldn't help but increase his tone and said: "The Japanese army's combat effectiveness and firepower are not comparable to those of the Kuomintang army during the ten-year civil war. You know this very well. Especially in the Rebei area, it is a big problem for us.
It’s a completely unfamiliar environment. The Japanese and puppets have extremely tight control here, far worse than the situation in the pass, and you are still so careless.”
"You feel sorry for the troops and the soldiers below who are so hungry that they can hardly even stand. I understand that you want them to reduce their activities as much as possible to conserve their energy. But as a veteran, you have been fighting behind enemy lines for four full years.
What should be more clear is the Japanese army’s revenge and reaction speed.”
"In our previous battles within the Pass, after the Japanese suffered heavy losses, didn't they just change hands and retaliate? What's more, Rehe is the hub of contact between the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Front. How can the Japanese and puppet forces not pay attention to this situation? The following is
The troops may not consider it, but as a senior commander, how can you not be mentally prepared?"
"Now that we have this prerequisite, why didn't we adjust the deployment according to the actual situation after discovering that the troops below were acting without authorization? Didn't we bring the remaining troops as close together as possible and prepare for battle to guard against a surprise attack by the Japanese and puppet troops?
?You still use this place as your old base in North China? As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops are dispatched over there, someone will report to you here? You are also someone who has established a base area, and you have also experienced this kind of start. Why are you still so careless?"
"Also, why don't you listen to other people's suggestions when you don't understand something? How do you use your artillery? There is no focus on the use of firepower, it is distributed evenly. Do you think this is playing house? And why don't you listen to the anti-alliance cadres?
The suggestion was to adopt a tactic of dispersed arrangement of light and heavy machine guns and concentrated firepower. But arranging all the light and heavy machine guns in a line would result in a one-third loss in one artillery fire."
"When shooting light and heavy machine guns, there is a serious waste of ammunition. In one battle, the machine gun bullets we carried were basically used up. Hundreds of thousands of bullets were shot out like water. You are really generous. Let me ask you, if the Japanese army
After you successfully counterattacked their flank, you did not retreat. How are you going to fight in the next battle? Use your rifle to fight with them head-on?"
"You should know that with the Japanese army's usual style, the probability of this situation happening is still very high. According to your experience, when did the Japanese army take the initiative to retreat as long as they had an advantage? Especially the initiative on the battlefield at that time
, and it is still firmly in their hands.”
"And your mortar company of the Third Regiment can actually go to the wrong place at such a close distance. They move under the eyes of the enemy, and they don't pay attention to tactical movements, and their reactions are even slower. As a result, they are moving.
Not even a single shot was fired, but the Japanese artillery fire covered all the losses."
"What's more, the regiment-level cadres took the lead in the charge and left the regiment command post alone. When the troops below asked for instructions, the director of the political office responded. Field telephones for communication between the front and rear were not set up, and the communication between the various troops was
The communication is still the same as before, using correspondents and tones. Could it be that the field phones assigned to you by your superiors are just for show?"
"As for the battle, the coordination of infantry and artillery was out of sync, and there was basically no coordination between infantry and artillery. When the troops below fired the charge horn during the battle, all tactical actions were forgotten. When carrying out counterattacks, basically
There was no focus on the battle, and the troops were evenly distributed. The troops rushed in a swarm, causing many unnecessary casualties."
"My comrade, do you know how much it cost the comrades of the Anti-Union Army to transport these weapons and ammunition from the base areas outside the customs to Yan'an? How many sacrifices did the comrades of the Anti-Union Army pay to get them from the hands of the Japanese army?
Captured? Let me tell you, just the fuel money and landing fees paid to the Soviet Union cost several tons of gold."
"It's a good thing now. You have thrown away so much of the equipment that you have worked so hard to transport. There are also ammunition. You really think you are a landlord. Even the Kuomintang army back then didn't have any during the war.
Such a waste. We only pursue firepower density, not accuracy and efficiency."
"Have you ever counted how many casualties those bullets you fired caused to the Japanese army? We all came from hard times. When we used to fight ambushes, five bullets could kill an ambush. Now it can be
Fortunately, the environment has not been fundamentally improved yet, so you should learn to waste first. Comrade brother, is this how you become a brigade commander?"
"Also, why don't you use the tactics that the Anti-Japanese Alliance comrades taught you about using landmines during rest and defense? Why don't you use those directional mines and landmines that the Anti-Japanese Alliance airlifted over at the station as decorations? During the rest and recuperation
Why didn't we build fortifications and put the security forces so close together?"
"Even if the soldiers no longer have the energy to post the guard posts too far away, if you can lay the mines before taking a break, you won't have no reaction at all to the sneak attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops. Why don't you arrange the arrangements while the troops are resting?
Firepower on duty? Is your guard post layout a little too simple?"
"Before leaving the customs, I repeatedly emphasized at the meeting of cadres above the regiment that after each unit penetrates into enemy-occupied areas, at least three warning lines must be deployed during rest periods. When setting up warning posts, a combination of light and dark posts must be used, and at the same time
The firepower on duty must be arranged well. And the firepower on duty must be deployed according to the principle of decentralized deployment and concentrated firepower. Once there is any trouble, the entire team will not fall into a passive situation."
"During the break, you should also gather the troops as much as possible. Why don't you implement these points? Feeling sorry for the soldiers is not only to save the soldiers' physical strength, but also not to let the soldiers die in vain. Parents put their hard work into practice
You don't want your sons who have been raised to go to the army to waste their lives in vain. Do you understand this truth?"
"This is not our old base area. There are no militiamen or masses to stand guard for you. We can only rely on us commanders to think of the front and reach the front. The situation is different, and we as senior commanders must also adapt our struggle strategies.
It will change as the situation changes.”
"Brother Comrade, with your style of fighting, how much more will we have to pay that we shouldn't have to pay? It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, we have to learn. I also know that this kind of regularized combat with large corps will have a huge impact on mobile warfare and mountainous terrain.
For you who are war-oriented, this is a completely new subject."
"From the tactical arrangements of infantry squads to the arrangement and use of artillery fire, these are all new topics not only for you, but also for me as the commander. But we can't pretend to understand when we don't understand, and pretend to understand when we don't understand. Our current
The equipment is something we only dreamed of having before.”
"In the past, every artillery piece and every machine gun we had required our soldiers to pay the price of their lives to capture it. But now, with the support of our brother troops at all costs, and with such good equipment, how come we still can't win it?"
Don’t know how to use it? This won’t work, gay brother.”
"With the changes in equipment and strength, our command level as senior commanders must also undergo a fundamental change. Without equipment, our command capabilities will still remain at the original guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. If we can win, we will win. If we cannot win, we will win."
Just leave. The correct use of tactics will save us a lot of unnecessary costs."
"We must humbly accept the experience gained by the brothers' troops with their lives and blood. Don't think that I am the best in the world just because we have won a battle. The Japanese army is not a big deal. We were unable to fight before, just because the equipment was too high.
Poor, there is a severe shortage of ammunition. It’s not that our combat effectiveness is not good, it’s not that our level is not good.”
After criticizing the leading brigade commander, the old commander raised his head, scanned all the cadres at regiment level and above with his only eye and said in a serious tone: "This battle is a bloody lesson for us.
.Our actual combat level is not only inferior to that of the Japanese army, but even the puppet Manchukuo army has a certain gap. This is why we need to use reasonable tactics in the battle to achieve the victory we want."
"I hope that those of you who are column commanders, political commissars, brigade commanders, brigade political commissars, regiment leaders, and regiment political commissars can learn the lessons of this battle and not repeat the same mistakes again. It is not terrible for a person to fall and fight, but it is terrible to be alone.
They were wrestling continuously at the same place and because of the same thing."
"Pride and complacency are absolutely unacceptable. The most important thing is that the previous guerrilla habit of fighting independently must be changed. You are all cadres above the regiment level. If you don't strengthen yourself, how can you command the troops below? The number of people is not enough.
Leeks can grow back after being cut. Your mistakes in command will be made up for by the cadres and soldiers below with their blood and lives."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You should learn with humility. Comrades of the Anti-Japanese Alliance have sent us such teachers, why don't you learn? In front of the fraternal troops, they always treat themselves as big brothers and have seniority. During the battle, no one can treat others
The reasonable suggestions put forward fell on deaf ears and were ignored.”
"I'm emphasizing again today, if all of you here are still like this. Blind and arrogant, pretending to understand what you don't understand, then you should hand over the troops to me. If I continue to let you go, it will be a crime against the troops.
, is a crime against our soldiers. I think everyone here should know what it means to know one's shame and then be brave."
"As for the issue of food shortage, the headquarters has already had some communication with the comrades of the Anti-League. The Anti-League has agreed to airdrop some of the food for us in the shortest possible time. After you go back, you must contact the ground and air personnel assigned to your respective units by the Anti-League.
The pilots should study carefully how to guide the transport aircraft to carry out airdrops as accurately as possible."
"Also, all the materials airdropped by the Anti-Union comrades will be uniformly deployed by the headquarters. There is absolutely no room for selfishness. After receiving the airdropped food, you will hide it yourself and refuse to hand it over. Once you find that unit, there will be situations where the Anti-Union airdropped materials are secretly hidden.
, the headquarters will severely punish them and will never tolerate them."
"Comrades, the more difficult times are, the less likely we are to be egotistic. The more each unit must be united, the past problems of making money must be completely eliminated. After returning, each unit must organize all cadres
, Warrior, learn the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention again."
