As the time for the Pearl Harbor incident is approaching, in order to obtain the maximum exchange of interests, show the Americans their determination to fight to the end and their ability to pose a threat to the Japanese mainland. At present, it is necessary to send these voyages to the Japanese mainland with enough range to reach the Japanese mainland.
It is time for the four bombers to be gradually removed from tactical missions and freed up for long-distance training.
It's just that Yang Zhen was thinking about the next combat adjustment of the aviation force here, but he forgot that he was now the headquarters of the advancing army at the junction of Weichang and Xinglong, not his Anti-Japanese Federation headquarters in Harbin. The two old men were still behind him.
Shuai was also quite considerate of him and did not interrupt his thinking.
Looking at Yang Zhen who was a little distracted after drafting the telegram, he didn't know that his mind had already flown thousands of miles away at this moment, nor did he expect that he would come up with so many things about the two veterans from this conversation.
, after looking at each other, they thought that the young rising star was thinking something else in his head, so they did not disturb his thoughts.
According to the original plan, the headquarters of the advancing army should have moved eastward at the moment so as to command the troops currently deployed across the board in Ningcheng, Longhua, and Chifeng, and with the Kwantung Army's Ninth Independent Garrison in Rehe, as well as those stationed in Rehe.
The main force of the Jehol Puppet Manchu Army's advancing army was fiercely fighting.
However, after receiving a telegram from Yang Zhenzheng, who traveled all the way to the paddock at night, the two veterans after careful consideration, temporarily divided the headquarters into two. The front command was composed of the deputy commander, deputy political commissar and chief of staff, who rushed to the paddock.
Go to the eastern area of the paddock. The two of them stayed temporarily to study the next step of cooperation between the two armies with Yang Zhen.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance has now captured the left and right Bahrain banners adjacent to Rehe, and is only separated from the Rehe battlefield by the Keshiketeng banner. As the enemy situation changes, the next step for the two armies to coordinate operations is urgent. So they still
Decided to stay and discuss the issue of operational cooperation between the two armies with Yang Zhen, the commander of the Northeast Military Region and the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
Although the Anti-Japanese Alliance's advancing army has been equipped with liaison officers, communication through telegraphs is still not as good as two top commanders sitting down and talking. There is a battle at the front, and there is a man who once served as the commander of the army during the Red Army.
, the deputy commander-in-chief of the front army is sure that there won’t be any big problems.
Moreover, with the assistance of the Anti-Japanese League, the communication capabilities of the advancing army have been greatly strengthened. At the regiment level, there are one fifteen-watt and five-watt radio stations, and one field telephone switchboard. At the brigade level, there are also many
The department radio station and the battalion level are equipped with five-watt radio stations, and field telephones can be directly deployed to the front-line positions during combat.
The great improvement of the overall communication of the troops also means that the headquarters' grasp of the battle situation has also been greatly increased. In this case, the location of the headquarters does not need to be too far forward. Just like now, the advancing army headquarters
The radio station can directly contact each regiment on the front line. Even if the headquarters stays in place temporarily, it will not affect the grasp of the battle situation. So after discussion, the two people decided to stay here temporarily and wait for Yang Zhen's arrival.
Of course, for the commander of the advancing army, he still wants to move the command position as far forward as possible at this time. After all, even with convenient communication tools, it takes time. And the progress of the battle situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the headquarters
Being as far forward as possible will help the commander judge the battle situation at the first opportunity. But if Yang Zhen came here at this time, he must have something important to discuss with him.
At this time, he moved the headquarters to the front. If something unexpected happened, he didn't care. But if something happened to this young general, how should he explain it to the central government? This guy is now responsible for the hope of the entire army, and even more so.
He is the commander-in-chief of an army of hundreds of thousands. It can be said that he is the whole army, especially the precious pimple of the Central Committee. If he scratches his skin even a little, the Central Committee will not spare him.
So after careful consideration, considering that the current communication capabilities of the army have been greatly improved. The headquarters is too far forward for command, and there is actually no need for it. So the two decided to stay here and wait for Yang Zhen
After leaving, move eastward.
It was just that after the conversation between the two parties was interrupted by an urgent telegram from the Anti-League Headquarters, the guy started to freeze. The two veterans looked at each other, but unanimously did not interrupt him. Until Yang Zhen reacted on his own.
When I came over, I found that my thoughts had gone thousands of miles away from the topic. I looked a little embarrassed and touched my nose and apologized quickly.
Looking at Yang Zhen who looked embarrassed, the two veterans just laughed and didn't take it seriously. However, after Yang Zhen smiled awkwardly, he said with some regret: "Two old leaders, I'm really sorry, I just remembered
I got distracted by some things. Let’s continue now.”
In response to Yang Zhen's apology, the political commissar who had rarely spoken since the meeting shook his head and said: "Actually, you shouldn't have come this time. For the things we talked about today, you could have sent a deputy chief of staff or a
Someone else is coming. Your battle situation is so tense right now and the stall is so big. No matter how long you leave, it is not suitable."
"And Comrade Yang Zhen, you must pay attention to your own safety. Although the plane you took and arrived at Linxi can effectively avoid the war zone on the ground. However, it is not safe at all to take an unarmed transport plane and fly over the battlefield.
There is no guarantee. Whether it is Japanese aircraft or ground artillery fire, it may bring danger to your safety."
"And after you land in Linxi, you have to cross the entire Keshiketeng Banner. Although there are no large groups of Japanese and puppet troops there, it is currently a vacuum zone. However, the number of stragglers dispersed by your troops supporting us is still not large.
Very few. You only brought a small number of troops. What should you do if there is danger on the road?"
"You must know that you are not just yourself now. You are also the military commander of the largest strategic group in the entire army. Your current position is even more important. If something happens to you, where will the troops be? In the overall deployment of the central government
, and where are they? We have already arrived at Rehe, and your troops have also arrived at Linxi. There are many opportunities for us to meet in the future, so why are you in a hurry?"
The old leader's words, especially those that were half-complaining and half-worrying at the end, made Yang Zhen smile and say: "Old leader, it's okay. This time I came, it was a fully mechanized march, and the speed was quite fast. I also had someone with me.
A platoon of armored vehicles escorts me, and the firepower is enough. Even if there are a small group of Japanese and puppet troops in Keshiketeng Banner, they will not bring any danger to me."
"As for the development of the entire war situation, I will not hide it from the two leaders here. In fact, except for the Western Front, our entire front is already in a tug-of-war stage. The troops we deployed on the Eastern Front have actually begun to change during the entire war situation.
It only served to confuse the Japanese army's sight and contain the Japanese army's strength. It was not intended to go too far."
"Jilin is the eastern gateway to Xinjing, and the Xingtu Railway is also an important link between the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army. If we take the Jilin line, the Japanese troops around Xinjing will definitely use all their strength to counterattack. If too many casualties are caused
, which is very inappropriate for our interests.”
"Two old chiefs, this time our army went south to fight, the real intention of spreading the stalls so wide was to cover the operations on the western front, so that the Japanese army could not figure out our true combat intentions. In fact, after the battle started,
, various stations on our eastern line have mobilized a large number of trains, as well as three entire car groups with thousands of trucks on standby at any time.
"If necessary, we can transfer two-thirds of the troops on the Eastern Front to the Western Front within 24 hours to join the war. The troops deployed in the East are simply fictitious. In other words, the troops deployed there are only to contain the Jilin front line.
The Japanese and puppet troops have no intention of penetrating too deeply. As for the Xinjing front line, the current attack line will be the final attack line. Once the battle on the western front is completed, they will switch to defense on the spot."
"We lack experience, so we will not deploy all our troops on the front line and spread our limited strength everywhere. We are still clear about the reason why our troops cannot be evenly distributed. All operations on the central and eastern fronts
, all to cover the real strategic goals.”
"We have only one intention in launching this operation, which is to open up land connections with the pass. All deployments are carried out around this goal. In other directions, we do not have such a big appetite for the time being. The battle situation on the Eastern Front
, has basically stabilized. As for Xinjing, it is not our main target yet."
"As for the battle situation on the Western Front, it seems that the 51st Division in the north has almost been resolved. As for the battle in Linxi in the south, although it is not progressing smoothly, as long as the Japanese conspiracy cannot succeed, there should be nothing serious.
Big problem. Unless they are not prepared to take Xinjing, they will deploy the main force along the Zhonglong Railway to the west for reinforcements."
"Now my focus is on Chen Hanzhang's troops who are crossing into Tongliao. The other aspect is the battle with the 23rd Division in Linxi. As long as Chen Hanzhang penetrates into Tongliao, it will cut off the Kwantung Army's reinforcements to the Linxi battlefield.
Passage. Coupled with the Du Kaishan headquarters on the northern line, we have completed the encirclement and annihilation of the 51st Division and launched an attack from the front. Even if the Kwantung Army reinforces two more divisions, I have nothing to worry about."
"Right now, as long as the war in Linxi goes smoothly, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. Because I will end this battle as soon as the war in Linxi ends. Therefore, the overall war situation can be said to have entered the final stage.
In addition, my chief of staff has rich experience and strong adaptability. As long as the battle situation does not change too much, there should be no major problems if I am away for a day or two."
After Yang Zhen's words fell, the two people in front of him couldn't help but froze, and they couldn't help but secretly make a calculation in their hearts: "You have opened up such a large posture, hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of aircraft are dispatched across the board. The center line has even been hit.
Xinjing’s North Gate Jiutai, Dehui Line.”
"Part of the eastern front has reached the north of Jilin. Part of the western front has reached Zhanyu. If we attack eastward at this time, we will already be in the Songnen Plain, and the entire western front of Beijing will be undefendable.
.In this kind of terrain, an armored group assault consisting of hundreds of tanks with aviation support, the Japanese defense capabilities can be imagined."
"With the current situation, not to mention the Kwantung Army, I even thought that Xinjing was one of their main targets. I thought that they made such a big move just for the sake of the Western Manchuria front line, so that the Kwantung Army could not fully reinforce to the west.
I have never considered taking over New Capital City at all."
Thinking of this, the two people who had wrongly positioned Yang Zhen's operation from the beginning could only smile bitterly at each other. Is this trick of hiding from the outside a little too much? Not only did they hide the Kwantung Army from it, but also the two of them.
An old guy with a lot of experience was fooled by this kid.
