After all the work on the map in his hand was completed, Lin Zhiqiang put down the tools in his hand and said: "Chief of Staff, I don't know if you have ever seen a large number of cars and tanks marching? But I have, and although the Puppet Manchu Army
It’s not necessarily clear. But one thing is for sure, the Kwantung Army must also know it. They also have cars and tanks. In this kind of weather, they should be very clear about the characteristics of this kind of mechanized troops marching.”
"It's a fully mechanized march. It's okay on rainy days, because the moisture suppresses the dust. But it's not good on sunny days. These cars and tanks stir up a lot of dust. A veteran can detect it from a long distance and remove it in the shortest time."
Make the most accurate judgment within the time limit.”
"What's more, the Japanese reconnaissance planes that have been hovering over us in the past few days since we left the customs are not just for free. If such an obvious target can no longer be found, how can the Japanese army occupy most of my land? This
The Japanese aircraft that have been hovering over us for the past few days are not fighter jets or bombers, but several Japanese Type 98 reconnaissance aircraft."
"We have fought two battles with the Japanese and puppet troops since we came out of the border, and our campaign intentions have been exposed. Coupled with the powerful offensive launched by the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the north, and the current progress of the entire campaign, the Japanese army is even a fool to know about our border crossing.
The true intention of acting together internally and externally.”
"And judging from the ability and quality of the Japanese army's staff, they can easily judge that the troops inside the pass and our troops leaving the pass will not only have the strength of the vanguard brigade. For such a big move, only one brigade will be sent.
Is this possible with the strength of our troops? No one would believe it if we changed it."
"Although the main operations of our army have been well concealed, and the strategic camouflage is also quite in place. But when tens of thousands of troops leave the border, is it possible that there is no trace of it? The Japanese staff officers at all levels, although arrogant, are somewhat ignorant.
The sky and the earth are thicker.”
"However, its grasp of the progress of the war and its judgment of the situation still have considerable merits. If it cannot even judge this, then the Japanese army's officer education has failed too much. And judging from the current situation
Judging from the war situation, this is basically not very possible."
"If I am not wrong in my judgment, the Japanese reconnaissance plane above us was sent by the Japanese army to find the whereabouts of the main force of our army. The Japanese reconnaissance plane can hover over the paddock looking for us, so why can't it go to Keshiketeng Banner?
Wandering in the sky? Especially when the movement of the transport team is so obvious, the possibility that the Japanese army will send a reconnaissance plane to check it out in order to find out the situation in a short time is 100%."
"So the leaders, I think that the whereabouts of this transport team cannot be kept strictly confidential. Unless they have a smooth journey, are not delayed by anything on the way, and meet up with the main force of our army before the Japanese army reacts. Otherwise,
Their whereabouts will not be hidden for too long."
"No matter what the true intention of this detachment is, or whether the whereabouts of our main force have been fully exposed. But one thing is unquestionable, that is, the Japanese army in Rehe will never let this detachment go south smoothly to join us.
They know very well that if this anti-alliance detachment once gains a foothold in Jehol, it will not only threaten Chahar in the west, but can also cross the Great Wall and threaten the North China Front at any time."
"After discovering our whereabouts, it is the Japanese army's consistent style to use all means when necessary. If we can't defeat them head-on, it is normal for the Japanese to engage in some dirty behavior. So, chief, I think we are now
What should be done most is how to nip the next move of the Japanese and puppet troops in the bud."
Regarding Lin Zhiqiang's long-term analysis and judgment, the commander praised his thoughtfulness and applauded his extremely standard work on the drawings, but at the same time he did not say everything to him.
After saying this, he frowned slightly. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Lin Zhiqiang, if you are now the Chief of Operations of the Advance Army, what do you think is the most appropriate thing to do?"
Having said this, I looked at Lin Zhiqiang's expression that changed somewhat after hearing his rhetorical question. The commander waved his hand and said, "You can't just say half of your words. I can see that there is something in your words.
You already have certain thoughts in your mind, but now you don’t dare or don’t want to say them because of some taboos.”
"Now that the political commissar and I are here, you can say it directly if you have anything to say. Is there anything you can't say? I am the commander, but I am not a god. I can handle everything without leakage. As the old saying goes.
Well, three cobblers can still stand up to one Zhuge Liang.”
"You should now treat yourself as the commander of the advancing army. Take out any ideas you have, and don't hide them. We are not Tian Feng. We only allow state officials to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps. The purpose of the combat meeting is to allow everyone to
Do you feel free to speak out if you have any ideas on military deployment? If you speak up, we will actively adopt it. If you have different opinions, can we sit down and discuss it?"
"In military command and combat deployment, it is true that the authority of military commanders must be emphasized in many cases. But when necessary, is military democracy also needed? Only by brainstorming and soliciting the opinions of cadres at all levels below, those of us who are leaders
Only in this way can we formulate better military deployments that are more realistic."
After hearing the commander's words of encouragement, Lin Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Commander, I suggest attacking instead of defending. If we always wait for the Japanese to take the initiative to attack, then the initiative on the battlefield will always be in the hands of the Japanese."
In their hands. Especially since we are still fighting on territory they control tightly, we can only become more passive as we fight passively."
"My idea is that instead of passively setting up defenses along the highway, we should take advantage of the current lack of troops in Jehol and concentrate our troops to take the initiative. We should adopt the tactics of a hundred-regiment battle, adopt large-scale infiltration, and ambush tactics, during the movement
Mobilize the Japanese and puppet troops and destroy them."
Having said this, Lin Zhiqiang picked up the red and blue pencils in his hands and circled the highways and various Japanese military group tribes from Nurul Tiger Mountain in the east to the Qilaotu Mountains in the west of Chifeng. The focus was on Chifeng.
After crossing the line between Ye Baishou and Ye Baishou, he said: "Commander, political commissar, my suggestion is to disperse, but the troops cannot be completely dispersed."
"With the brigade as the basic organizational structure, each brigade is divided into a combat range. All three regiments under its command are spread out within its own combat range. But spreading out is not the dispersed guerrilla we used before. First, we must maintain the regiment's role
The principle of combat organization cannot be changed. When two or three regiments are deployed, they must be able to achieve the purpose of alternate cover and coordinated operations, so the activity area cannot be too far away, let alone too dispersed."
"Third, and the most fundamental thing is that each brigade must be able to disperse, but also be able to recover quickly when necessary. Therefore, each regiment cannot be completely dispersed, including each brigade.
Form cooperation. Once the enemy forces are swept away in a large scale, you can concentrate your forces to fight him at any time."
"Commander, political commissar, the real advantage of our army lies in its strong ability to disperse and move. It can be dispersed and retracted at any time. It can be gathered and dispersed. It can be punched into fists and slapped with palms.
Going out, this is our biggest and real advantage."
"Now that our regiments are equipped with radio stations, in the past, when necessary, we could only rely on correspondents to go to the daily activities of the troops to find things. This has become a thing of the past. With modern communication tools, our troops can be more effective.
to give full play to their true strengths.”
"Our troops are concentrated, which is what the Japanese and puppet troops are optimistic about. If we disperse the troops in a regiment-level organization, their biggest headache will be to spread in all directions. If they use dispersion to disperse, then it will give us
There are available fighter opportunities. If we focus on concentration versus dispersion, judging from the current number of Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe, we can only focus on one and lose the other."
"My idea is to control a part of the troops in the headquarters as a mobile force to guard against the Japanese puppet troops in the north. Then spread out the other troops, with the columns as the backbone, the brigades as the limbs, and the regiments as the brothers. In this
This area will bloom on all sides, mobilize the Japanese and puppet troops to leave the strong city, and fully mobilize the Japanese and puppet troops to find fighter opportunities between movements."
"As long as our various units can achieve tacit understanding in cooperation, we should not be too prominent and scattered during the movement. If we can do it, we can extend it and retract it. Spread out the Japanese and puppet troops and use the principle of concentrating superior forces and firepower.
, eat them one by one. I think we still have a lot to do in Rehe."
"But there are a few points that we must pay attention to. When the troops are dispersed, they must strictly stipulate the radio contact time. Second, the general
The ministry should develop a batch of backup codes and distribute them to each brigade so that they can be replaced at any time. This is to prevent the codes from being used for too long and being deciphered by the Japanese army, which will actually cause our own passivity."
"During the Anti-Japanese War, there were strict limits on the use period of passwords for radio stations at all levels, both in wartime and in peacetime. They could be used for a maximum of one week in peacetime. During combat, the passwords could not be used for more than twenty-four hours before they had to be replaced. And in peacetime and wartime
The passwords, as well as the radio frequency usage, are all separate. Each unit also has its own backup passwords."
"The use of radio frequencies is not fixed. Especially division-level troops must change radio frequencies at any time in accordance with the orders of the headquarters. Whether in peacetime or wartime, plain language communications are strictly prohibited. No matter how urgent the situation is,
, and it is absolutely forbidden to use plain language on the radio."
"Once someone is found using plain language, no matter how high your position is, you must evacuate to the end. Although doing so will cause certain troubles, it can also ensure that our radio communications will avoid being intercepted and deciphered by the Japanese army. Dear leaders, the Japanese army
His radio monitoring and deciphering capabilities are quite strong and at a certain level."
"On the frontal battlefield, the troops of the Nationalist Government did not suffer less when their codes were deciphered by the Japanese army. They even suffered huge losses. Our radio technology is not as good as that of the Nationalist Government, so we must be more careful. If we ourselves
If you are not careful, once the code is deciphered by the Japanese army, the consequences will be serious."
