Fighting to the death has never been the style of this old commander who always likes to use tactics. Moreover, he does not like his subordinates, who will fight to the death at every turn. And in his view, the military needs to have certain skills.
Adventurous spirit, but this adventurous spirit must at least be based on a certain degree of certainty and a certain exchange ratio.
Although Yang Zhen's current status is almost equal to his, and even somewhat higher than his own due to his position. But there are some things he feels he still has to say. He doesn't want to see his old subordinate.
, because the problem could have been solved by other means, instead of going all-out and causing heavy losses to the troops.
They are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is not easy to make such a small investment. Who can say for sure whether things will develop as he said in the future? Although he thinks he is very sure. But any
Who can fully grasp the development and changes of things?
The old commander looked at the solemn expression on Yang Zhen's face after hearing what he said. While secretly admiring him, he continued: "Although the Japanese army is a little greedy, but judging from their previous experiences on the frontal battlefield,
Judging from combat operations, the capabilities of their combat staff are quite high."
"In all previous battles, the formulation and planning of the entire campaign were extremely detailed. Even the conflicts between the various factions of the National Government. Once a war crisis occurs, will the troops of different factions rescue each other? This
All aspects have been considered.”
"The mountains and rivers in the entire combat area, the direction of the rivers, and the strength of the people's customs are all under their consideration. When the Japanese army formulated their combat plans, they considered them in detail. I believe you have also experienced this in the past few years.
Although the Japanese army is a little arrogant, they never fight uncertain wars."
"And this kind of certainty is not based on certainty. Their so-called war with no certainty, even if it is a risk in our view, is based on a comprehensive analysis and judgment of the enemy situation and the situation surrounding the battlefield.
For many Japanese troops on the battlefield, what we see as risky behavior is actually based on their detailed understanding and grasp of the situation. The most critical thing is their analysis and judgment of their opponents."
"Although the Japanese army's strategic issues often stem from the innate mentality of the Japanese people that if they win, everything will be fine, and if they lose, they will have to start over again. But in terms of the use and mastery of tactics, especially the grasp of changes in the battlefield situation,
But it is what our Chinese military should learn from most."
"The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain at the beginning of this year proved this point. The battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was cleverly planned, strategically and tactically rigorous. It can be said that it is worth learning from us. An army of hundreds of thousands with solid defensive positions, in a short period of time,
The entire line collapsed in just a few days, not just because of the Japanese army’s superior equipment.”
"In this battle, the Japanese army carried out extremely rigorous pre-war reconnaissance, and their combat preparations were even more thorough. Before the battle was launched, they knew the locations of the various units of the entire Zhongtiao Mountain garrison, the location of the headquarters, as well as communication lines, ammunition and material storage areas.
. Even the structure of the defensive positions and the weaknesses are clearly understood. The result of the Zhongtiao Mountain battle is a lesson that must be taken seriously not only for the Kuomintang army, but also for our army."
"Given the meticulous tactical thinking of the Japanese army, they have concentrated such a large-scale force this time. They will never be dispatched easily without absolute certainty. Especially before, they suffered too many losses at your hands. What they want to ensure is
If you don't fire, you will hit. If you fire, you will hit with one hit. So you must be careful that the Japanese army will conduct certain tests on you before taking full action."
"In addition, you must pay attention to conduct strict monitoring and search of areas where the Japanese army may bomb. If the Japanese army wants to carry out relatively high-precision bombing in complex terrain, it may not be possible without effective ground guidance. You must pay attention
, the Japanese army used traitors or infiltrated Japanese spies to conduct ground guidance."
"Based on the information we received during the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, a large part of the reason why the First Battle Zone was defeated so quickly was actually due to traitors. These people divided and disintegrated the national army before the war.
Winning those who were not determined to surrender to the enemy. After the battle started, they created turmoil in the rear, blew up grain warehouses and ammunition depots, and led the way for the Japanese army to make detours. They also took measures on the ground to provide guidance for the Japanese bombers. The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was so completely lost.
, these traitors can be said to have taken the greatest credit."
"In the Guanci Civil War, both we and the Nationalist Government's troops suffered too much. You must pay more attention. The more you are in this situation, the more calm you must be. Japanese culture is influenced by China
The cultural influence is too profound, and their senior commanders’ in-depth study of the Chinese military art of past dynasties is far beyond what we can compare with.”
"The thirty-six strategies left by our ancestors are not only used by us, but also by them. Lure the snake out of its hole, scare the snake away, create fireworks, make a sound in the east and attack in the west. The Japanese army will just reach out. You must remember the tricks of the soldiers.
Live. This is the most precious wealth left by our ancestors after thousands of years of war."
The meaning of the old chief's words had been expressed very clearly, and Yang Zhen also understood the sincerity in the old chief's words. Yang Zhen still attached great importance to the attitude of the old chief who was later called the contemporary Sun Wu, the God of War.
Relative to where he is today, he mainly relies on his grasp of the war situation and the development of historical situations. This old leader truly has a long-term vision and can be called a true strategic vision.
Yang Zhen stood up, walked outside and looked at the green mountains outside. He thought for a long time before turning his head and said: "Two old chiefs, you two can see much further than me. I listen to you. I will give it to the aviation force right now."
Give an order to them to draft a new combat plan in the shortest possible time based on their previous suggestions."
"However, the scope of the entire blockade cannot be limited to the range they proposed. It must be expanded southward and eastward. The US-made P-40 fighter jet has a relatively long range after adding auxiliary fuel tanks. I think the entire blockade can be set southward.
The Siping line is mainly placed in the southeast direction of Siping. To the east, the blockade line is placed from the Erdaobai River in the upper reaches of the Songhua River to the north of Yuanshan.
"Although we can't risk an attack, we can't wait and see. Jeju Island is too far away and lacks the conditions for an attack. But Wonsan and especially Chongjin are right under our noses. I think we can definitely dispatch a group of planes. For this
A raid was conducted on the Japanese naval aviation bases in the two places."
"Although the range of the American-made A20 attack aircraft is not as good as that of the Il-4 bomber, and the bomb load is also relatively poor. However, it has thick armor, fast flying speed, and strong self-defense firepower. The American-made A20 attack aircraft are dispatched to Jiamusi or
Mudanjiang Airport is used as an advance base, and there is absolutely no problem in bombing the Japanese navy and air force bases in Qingjin and Yuansan."
"Although there is no precise information at the moment, whether the Japanese naval aviation mobilized has stationed at these airports. However, the Jeju Island Air Base can accommodate so many bombers and mobilized fighters. Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Chongjin
The military airport will definitely become a short-range aircraft take-off and landing airport among the Japanese military, especially as a take-off and landing airport for Japanese fighter jets."
"If it is possible to destroy their fighters first, the remaining bombers will be easy to deal with. The Japanese Navy's new Zero fighter, with its performance and range, is a serious threat to our army. If it can be eliminated on the ground,
The remaining Army Air Force fighter jets will be much easier to deal with."
"The voyage to Jeju Island is too far and the conditions for sorties are extremely immature. It is acceptable to temporarily put it down. But Chongjin and Wonsan are in northern North Korea. If it cannot be carried out, I think the bomber force should be cancelled. If it can only be carried out in the nest,
, what do they want them to do? Why did I work so hard to get so many bombers for them? What we need now is not only a shield that supports the sky protection network for the troops, but also a shield that can pierce the enemy at any time.
Spear of the Heart.”
"Let them mobilize four P40 fighter squadrons and transfer to Dongning Japanese Field Airport. Add auxiliary fuel tanks to escort the bombers. Chongjin and Wonsan are not far from the China-North Korea border. Our fighter group comes from Dongning
After taking off, we can completely escort the entire flight."
"Moreover, the northeastern part of North Korea is a plateau area and sparsely populated. The eastern coastline of North Korea has not been the focus of Japanese naval defense due to the lack of strong opponents. Taking the Gaima Plateau or flying close to the east coastline of North Korea can effectively reduce detection by the Japanese army.
It's very dangerous. It's entirely possible to dispatch some bombers and stab him."
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, the commander and political commissar of the advancing army looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Although Yang Zhen gave up the raid on Jeju Island, he still refused to give up on taking the initiative.
Thoughts. However, although there is a certain risk in doing this, it is much better than going all the way to Jeju Island for an air attack that is sure to fail. Moreover, it will be escorted by fighter jets throughout the entire process, so the loss should not be too great.
As for the risks involved, in the opinion of the two veterans, they should be within an acceptable range. In war, risks are always proportional to benefits. If there is no risk, there will be victory. If you are not willing to take any risks
, if you only want to gain benefits, then you might as well stay at home honestly.
As a soldier, you should have a certain spirit of adventure that dares to take chestnuts from the fire. But this kind of adventure must be based on careful planning, judgment of the situation, and analysis of the capabilities of the enemy and ourselves. It is not the kind of all-or-nothing, regardless of everything, and
Take risks without clear understanding of reality.
Yang Zhen was able to accept his own opinions and persuasion, and did not go all-out or risk everything, which was enough for the two of them. As for further persuasion, neither of them did it. As a grand strategist
The district commanders believed that Yang Zhen would make the best choice based on his own situation.
After all, he is no longer the small company commander of the 129th Division. As the commander of the Northeast Military Region, if he could not judge and think about problems calmly and resorted to a decisive battle at every turn, he would not be where he is today.
It's impossible to create such a big world in such a harsh environment.
Their previous persuasion was just that they didn't want Yang Zhen to be too exaggerated and ignore his own reality, forcibly implement a plan that was impossible to complete, and bring unnecessary losses to himself and the troops that should not have occurred.
.Since the young general listened to his words, the two of them stopped.
As long as he calms down, the two of them believe that he will make the best choice based on the changes in the situation on the Northeast battlefield. The two people's previous opposition was not to interfere with Yang Zhen's overall deployment, but they just did not want them to hurt their vitality.
.As for how to readjust the deployment now, that is something he, the commander of the Northeast Military Region, should consider.
