Just when Wang Guangyu was pondering the intention of the Japanese army's move, a familiar voice came from outside the bunker.
This semi-underground bunker of the headquarters. Even his steps rushing out had lost some of the calmness of the past.
Wang Guangyu seemed a little out of sorts, which surprised the staff officer who had only seen him calmly in the cover department. However, when he saw the people outside, he had no intention of paying attention to the combat staff officer beside him, whose jaw dropped. Wang Guangyu quickly
Pulling him into the shelter, he said in a somewhat urgent tone: "No. 1, you rushed here like this? It's not safe here yet. When you come, why don't you notify me in advance so that I can make some preparations."
In response to Wang Guangyu's concerns, Yang Zhen waved his hands and said: "Why can't I come? Also, you have more than 20,000 troops, more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, and hundreds of cannons, and you can't protect me? It's not safe here.
How can I say it’s safe? I don’t want you to make a fuss as soon as I arrive at the front.”
"Don't forget, we only had a few people at that time. There were more people than guns, and we had to count the bullets. Wouldn't it be the same as rushing over? We didn't worry about it at that time. Now that the conditions have improved, it doesn't work.
Can't do it? Don't worry, I still know what I do, and it's not as precious as you think."
Wang Guangyu could only smile bitterly at Yang Zhen's disdain: "No. 1, it's not that I'm too nervous. You still don't know that although we were in the artillery battle yesterday, we severely damaged the Japanese artillery and lifted the Japanese army's control of the airport.
Long-range firepower blockade. However, the Japanese army also used cold guns to harass the airport from time to time. Moreover, there are some broken Japanese troops around the airport. It is very unsafe for you to come at this time."
"It would be too dangerous if your plane lands and is harassed by Japanese artillery fire. Also, the road from the airport to me is not absolutely safe. Just take a few guards and rush.
It’s really too risky to come here and take an ordinary truck.”
"You are the commander of the entire army, and your safety is related to the fate of the entire army. If nothing else, the Northeast cannot live without you. Your safety is more related to the future direction of the entire Northeast battlefield. No. 1, Northeast departure
We can't do without you. You are not just yours now, but the hope of the entire Northeastern party, government, and military, as well as 30 million compatriots."
Regarding the deep concern in Wang Guangyu's words, Yang Zhen did not answer him. Such words cannot be said, let alone answered. If someone with intentions exposes them, wouldn't it become a mountain-top doctrine? What happened to the Fourth Front Army at that time cannot be blamed on him.
To re-enact it, hilltopism is now a taboo. If some people find out about these words, they will make a fuss about it.
Looking at Wang Guangyu's frown, Yang Zhen did not take over his words, but changed the topic, smiled and said: "Why are you encountering a problem? Is the war not going well? I'm worried that your local influence will be affected.
The overall situation? You, Wang Guangyu, are not the kind of person who worries about things unfounded. It makes you frown like this. This problem seems to be quite big."
Yang Zhen sat down on a makeshift stool made of ammunition boxes in Wang Guangyu's headquarters. He looked at the thick stack of enemy intelligence reports he had sent on his desk, and then looked at the signs hanging on the wall of the shelter.
Looking at the overall map of Northeast China showing the progress of other departments, I immediately understood what Wang Guangyu was scratching his head about. That's why he said this.
After taking a thoughtful look at the slightly embarrassed Wang Guangyu's face, Yang Zhen did not continue. Instead, he stood up and went to the artillery mirror to observe the battle at the front for a while before turning around.
He said: "Why haven't you come up with a solution to the problem? After three days of fighting, you still haven't figured out the Japanese army's strategic intentions. Lao Wang, this is not like your usual style."
Having said this, Yang Zhen turned his head and looked at the thick stack of enemy intelligence reports on the table, but smiled and said: "However, you are not bad now. Finally, I thought of looking for the 23rd Division from the overall situation.
The real intention of putting on such a passive fighting posture is here. This is a great improvement."
Yang Zhen walked to the overall strategic map hanging in Wang Guangyu's headquarters. After pointing at the clearly marked enemy and enemy situations on the map, he picked up the baton on one side and pointed at Tongliao Road on the map.
: "The focus of the next possible strategic counterattack by the Japanese army is not with you but here."
"You may be under a certain amount of pressure in the next battle, but more of this pressure may come from the Japanese North China Front Army in the Kwantung Pass. Now that the Kwantung Army has too much to take care of itself, its friendly neighbors, the North Korean Army and
The North China Front Army will definitely take the initiative to participate in the war. The Japanese army is not like us Chinese. Although there are disputes internally, they are monolithic externally. So your next defense focus should still be tilted south."
"As for the heavy troop clusters of the Kwantung Army currently in Fengtian and Jilin in the east, their target is not you at least yet. As for the two divisions of the Kwantung Army currently located in Jinzhou, for them, they ensure that the Beining Railway connects the Japanese forces inside and outside the Kwantung
Keeping the main arteries unblocked is their most urgent task."
"The Jidong Military Region of the Guannei Army has launched a raid on the southern line of the Beining Railway to restrain the two Japanese divisions from being mobilized. At least for a long period of time, their energy will not be able to take care of you. I just hope that they will not be able to take care of you.
The strength of the Eastern Military Region is limited and the equipment is not very good, so I am afraid it will not be of much use."
Looking at the position where Yang Zhen's baton was pointing, Wang Guangyu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No. 1, this is unlikely. The Japanese army will focus its next counterattack on Tongliao, which means they
The main target of the counterattack is Lao Chen. Judging from Lao Chen's current position and current situation, this is not impossible. At least on the surface, Lao Chen did break in alone. And with the follow-up troops,
There is still some distance."
"From a deeper perspective, Lao Chen's strategic position is not exactly the best direction for the Japanese army to counterattack. Lao Chen now seems to be a little alone because of the too fast advancement speed. But this is only a superficial phenomenon.
, In fact, when necessary, Lao Chen can get the most support and support among the several fronts of our army."
"To the southwest of Lao Chen, as long as they need it. If my First Division, regardless of casualties, forcibly tears apart the Japanese 23rd Division's defenses from Linxi to Lindong, regardless of the 23rd Division's subsequent response,
Force an assault to the northeast. With my current equipment, I can reach the Kailu front line within 24 hours."
"Actually, if Lao Chen really needs our support, my biggest concern here is not the 23rd Division in front of me, but the current advancing army in Rehe. If we forcefully attack to the northeast, Rehe will
He's advancing army was surrounded on all sides and became a lone army hanging outside."
"Judging from the current status of the advancing army and the comprehensive combat capabilities of the troops, it is still somewhat dangerous to leave the advancing army in Rehe. Although the equipment level of the advancing army has been greatly improved, the comprehensive combat level is still not as good as that of the Japanese army.
Big difference. For this comparison, I feel that one to three to four is more appropriate.”
"Of course, if the advancing army can give up the ongoing Battle of Jehol when the overall war situation requires it, and move closer to our army with all its strength, then I will not have any worries. Although I am currently unable to completely annihilate these twenty-three
division, but if we tear a hole in their defense line and turn around to attack northeast, there won’t be any big problem.”
"But No. 1, you have to consider whether the current strength and troops of the advancing army can bear the heavy responsibility of fighting in Rehe without our support. You must know that the battle in Rehe will not only face them when needed.
Only the Kwantung Army. When necessary, the North China Front Army can join the battlefield at any time."
"Of course, this issue is not within the scope of the current discussion. What I mean is that as long as the overall situation requires, we can support Lao Chen's operations at any time. But what I mean is that the headquarters must be cautious when using us. Consider more than just
It’s us and the advancing troops on the Jehol battlefield.”
Having said this, Wang Guangyu pointed to the map and said: "In addition to us being able to respond with all our strength when necessary, in the northwest of Lao Chen, Du Kaishan's several divisions can dispatch part of them southward at any time. And behind him,
That is to say, there is a division of our army on the battlefield of Nong'an and Qianguo, ready to go south to fight at any time."
"At Lao Du's place, the division and encirclement of the 71st Division has been completed. Although they were in the battle, they suffered heavy casualties due to the terrain. However, their follow-up combat capabilities have not been lost. If the situation changes and the need arises, they can be mobilized at any time.
Send a considerable number of troops to go south."
"Although the number of troops mobilized may not be too many, with the troops on the front line of Guo, the strength is quite sufficient. Of course, if Lao Du bites the bullet, it is not impossible to mobilize a division of troops. It's just that
, This will affect their war progress on the Nanxing'an front line."
"To the northeast of Lao Chen, our army is fighting fiercely in Jiutai and Dehui. When necessary, Ma Chunsheng can hand over the Jiutai battlefield to our army's reserve troops and switch from offensive to defensive. With part of the force,
Set up defenses along the Jiutai and Dehui lines to block the Kwantung Army's counterattack."
"If we use our main force to force a front-line assault on Changling and Shuangshan in the southwest, even if the Japanese army invests a considerable amount of troops to counterattack our army, their flanks will all be exposed to Ma Chunsheng's guns. In this way, regardless of whether
No matter how many troops the Japanese army has invested, the initiative on the battlefield is still controlled by our army."
"This does not include the several divisions commanded by Wang Xiaoming in Shulan that can be mobilized in a short period of time. There are also four divisions and 13 regiments that the headquarters currently controls as reserves, as well as some
Rear area military division troops that are ready to participate in the war at any time. When needed, we can use the railway lines in the base area and a large number of trucks equipped by ourselves to transport these troops to the front line to participate in the war."
