What Yang Zhen said later, the old commander couldn't comment on because he didn't know much about aviation. But when Yang Zhen said he wanted to carry out air strikes on the Japanese mainland, his old commander also didn't show any abnormality. It seemed very serious.
Calm, obviously already in a state of immunity. It was obvious that the news he had received from the central government in the past few years made him feel that there was nothing that the enemy cadre of the 129th Division in front of him could not do.
As early as the first meeting with the current commander of the Northeast Military Region and the second secretary of the Northeast Bureau, he had a very good memory. Although three years had passed, the old commander still recognized him at the first sight.
He met this former subordinate who once worked at the 129th Division Headquarters.
Although his appearance has not changed much except that he looks a little older due to overwork and the appearance of gray hair at a young age. But this veteran commander still hardly dares to believe it.
, the young man who has turned upside down in the Northeast and has grown from a defeated army of a few hundred people to an army of hundreds of thousands with aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery in just a few years, is his former subordinate.
Although Yang Zhen shouted like an old leader, and his attitude was extremely respectful, as if he was his old subordinate. But it still made him feel a little like a dream. Although the situation in the Northeast is not clear, it is somewhat
I know something. According to the situation there, even if it is close to the Soviet Union, it has certain innate conveniences, but to achieve the current results, one can imagine the hardships involved.
This veteran, who had studied in the Soviet Union for many years and graduated from the Frunze Military Academy, is quite familiar with the power of the Soviets. How can there be a free lunch in the world? If you want to take something out of the hands of the Soviets, there is no such thing.
With certain extraordinary thinking and means, it would be so easy.
But he just forcibly carved a path and developed it in a few years. As a veteran, he knew how powerful the Japanese army was at its peak. He was able to fight such a large area in the Northeast, where the Japanese army strictly ruled.
From heaven to earth, we also created such brilliant results last year.
This year, the Japanese army, which has always been proud of itself, has been forced to use water instead of troops to try to block their offensive. Even though this veteran general has experienced hundreds of battles, even if this person is standing in front of him again, he is almost
I couldn't believe that all this was done by the taciturn enemy officer under me.
When he was working in the 129th Division, his old partner once gave him an evaluation that he was more suitable to be a political cadre. He still remembers it now. He still believes in his partner's vision.
.After Yang Zhen disappeared during the anti-sweep raid, his partner was still heartbroken over the loss of a talented person.
But in the mind of his partner, as a talent, he is only a political worker, not a military talent. The difference between the two is still very obvious. As for a political worker who can hardly fight, after all,
He really couldn't figure out what kind of changes he had gone through to reach this point today and still play so well.
Although in the Eighteenth Army, the division of labor between political cadres and military cadres is not absolute. Many political cadres have quite high military command capabilities and levels. But that was tempered bit by bit through long-term wars.
Many of those who came out had even served as military commanders.
But even if you are a military genius, there must be a process of growth. For a person who spent most of his military career as a company-level enemy officer, he suddenly transformed into the commander-in-chief of an army of hundreds of thousands.
, and made it so dramatic, it is difficult for most people to accept it.
The former enemy officer and military commander in front of me only had a period of experience as a guard company commander who basically did not participate in the war. How did he grow up in such a short period of time? And the battle became more and more exciting, even
He has fought so well in many battles that he is not capable of fighting at the moment. How on earth this transformation was completed in such a short period of time puzzles this time-tested veteran.
Although this man has experienced hundreds of battles and only believes that a qualified military commander needs to go through long-term training or rigorous military school training to grow up, he does not believe that there are really geniuses in the world.
But the young man in front of him made him somewhat doubt his previous thoughts.
However, it is difficult to explain, maybe because he has seen too many miracles, he is somewhat numb. Regarding Yang Zhen's idea of air raids on the Japanese mainland, the old commander still believes that he already has a large-scale aviation force in his hands, and he should be able to
He did it. This man is still young, but he is definitely not the kind of person who boasts after winning a few battles.
He has the ability and the capital to lead the war to Japan. But now he seems a little impatient. Maybe this is the trouble caused by the big business. If he wants to move, gather the people together and start a fight.
The customs troops left with their backpacks. If the safety of the local people had not been taken into consideration, the Japanese army would not have had anything to worry about even if they took turns carrying out large-scale raids, let alone using water instead of troops.
He is still very clear about where the impatience in his old subordinate, who has become the regional commander at the same level as himself in just a few years, comes from. The Japanese army has fought with the Japanese army for several times with such a desperate spirit.
As a young man, he still understands. Who can guarantee that there will be no loopholes when setting up an air defense line?
The Japanese army mobilized so many aircraft, and even a small oversight may cause irreparable consequences. The air is not the ground, and it is impossible to fortify everywhere. The Japanese dispatched long-range bombers with a long range this time. The entire combat airspace is so
It is too big and cannot be defended everywhere.
After thinking for a while, looking at the young general in front of him, the old commander worded his words and said: "No matter what your thoughts are, after all, the current troops have not gone through the necessary training. Let the army not go through the training."
To carry out such an order that is almost destined to cost a lot of money, this is not something a real commander should consider."
"Because you are still far from reaching the point of burning the boat. Is it necessary to pay such a high price and do something that is almost impossible? I am also a soldier leader, but I have never been optimistic about it.
I don’t agree with the all-or-nothing approach. As a senior commander, the more this time comes, the more calm and cautious a commander must be.”
"Comrade Yang Zhen, you are now the commander of a large strategic area. I know that the heavy responsibility you shoulder far exceeds that of any strategic area on the Guanhai battlefield. The opponents you face are also among the most powerful Japanese troops.
The strongest strategic group. But you are also the youngest among the major strategic areas of the entire army. So the more this time comes, the more you must judge the situation calmly."
"Judging from the current situation, the situation has not deteriorated to the worst point. It is good for you to prepare for a rainy day, but you have to trust your own troops. The amount of water in the Songhua River may be large, but compared with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River,
I think the width of the river is still a little short of that."
"And this river embankment is probably just a thin line at night. You have deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns on both sides of the river embankment. If the enemy bombs at night, the accuracy will be very poor. You can calculate and destroy the river embankment enough.
How many bombs are needed? Even if all the bombers dispatched by the Japanese army are dispatched, what is the total bomb load? "
"You just told me that you have received intelligence that the Japanese army is preparing to go south to fight against the United States and Britain. I still have a certain understanding of the situation in Southeast Asia. The main battlefields there are not only on land, but also on the sea.
.Under this situation, the aviation force will become an important weight for the Japanese army in the battle against the United States and Britain. Think about it, will the Japanese army accept excessive losses?"
"Bombing at night is not very accurate, and the number of bombs consumed is far from what it can be compared to during the day. Once lost, the Japanese army will need to carry out repeated bombings many times. According to your ground firepower configuration, the Japanese army will lose five to ten aircraft at a time.
Judging from the number, the Japanese army may not be able to afford such losses in just three attacks."
"What's more, do you have any radars? Such advanced equipment can accurately detect the number and heading of Japanese aircraft at a distance of hundreds of kilometers. With such a clairvoyant in hand, you have mobilized a large number of ground air defenses in advance.
Equipment. In addition to the air defense line, you can form a fire prevention and control network on the ground. With such equipment and configuration, what else do you have to worry about?"
"When the Nationalist government burst the embankment at Huayuankou and released water, it dug more than 200 meters of the embankment to reach sufficient damage. Even though the sediment content in the Songhua River is far less than that of the Yellow River, its water volume is as abundant as the Yellow River.
Compared with the Yellow River, the second largest river in China, during the flood season, it is probably quite different."
"Even during the flood, the amount of water is still a bit low. And aerial bombing is not ground blasting. Thousands of kilograms of bombs fall, and one or two fall on the river embankment, which is about it. You have a lot of them.
Even if the anti-aircraft guns were fired blindly, the Japanese aircraft would probably not dare to fly low. The bombing accuracy would probably be even worse."
"If the Japanese army's conspiracy is really aimed at Jiangdi, then they have worked hard for so long, mobilized so many bombers, and even suspended air strikes on the rear area. They are bound to ensure a successful attack. So I feel that the Japanese army will
We will not choose to carry out bombing at night."
"The most important thing is that judging from your current battle with the Kwantung Army, your confidentiality system is even stricter than that of the central government. Before your aviation and tank units appeared on the battlefield, the Japanese army didn't even know anything about it.
You know, the Kwantung Army has been operating in the Northeast for so many years, and even in your base area, there are still a lot of spies and traitors who have not yet been exposed."
"But before they all went into battle, the Japanese army knew nothing about it. This shows how strict your confidentiality is. You know that your fighter force does not have the ability to fight at night yet, but the Japanese army probably doesn't know.
.Coupled with your superiority in air combat against the Kwantung Army, the Japanese army will not easily choose night bombing. However, you must beware of them testing you at night."
In order to dissuade Yang Zhen from taking risks, the old commander was very sincere. Judging from his rich experience accumulated during his many years of military career, although the current situation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is somewhat dangerous, it is far from unacceptable.
The situation. The most important thing to consider now is how to break the situation, instead of just throwing everything into a fight.
He hoped that Yang Zhen, a young general he was familiar with but was now unfamiliar with, would go further in the future and play a greater role in the future war situation across the country. Instead of being here, because of temporary reasons,
And it will affect the future direction of the national war situation.
