Two hundred and fortieth eighth chapter is bound to win
However, Yang Zhen still had the old habit of comparing his ideas with maps. Fortunately, for this battle plan, the central government, at Yang Zhen's request, tried every means to obtain and mobilize a group of inspectors for the advancing army.
Maps of Harr, Rehe, Hebei, Shanxi and Suiyuan.
Although we have not obtained a nationwide military map, this kind of thing is generally not available, and there is no place to obtain it now. Not to mention the central government, I am afraid that even the current National Government does not have a detailed nationwide military map. There has never been a real military map.
The National Government that unified China had no time or energy to draw a national map.
However, the central government tried every means to use underground connections and obtained from the Military and Political Department of the Nationalist Government in Chongqing a large-scale replica of a military map of all of North China drawn by the Nationalist Government before the July 7th Incident when it was preparing for the Anti-Japanese War. As well as a copy of a large-scale military map that I am afraid
It is a national civilian map surveyed by Americans and published by the Commercial Press, the most accurate country in the country.
The national map published by the Commercial Press was just fine, but the military map of North China that the National Government spent a lot of effort to draw brought considerable convenience to Yang Zhen in explaining his ideas. Although this map
It is not aerial surveying and mapping, but it is a rare and accurate map in China in this era.
Knowing that Yang Zhen likes to describe his combat ideas and plans with reference to maps, and as soldiers, it is always easier to understand and accept comparisons with maps. While Yang Zhen was concentrating on thinking, they had already ordered people to send these maps to
Especially the military map of North China hung up.
Although there are still some places in these maps that are not very clear, it does not matter. After all, the surveying and mapping technology in this era was not very developed. Moreover, the entire North China belongs to different spheres of influence, and northern Chahar and Jehol fell into the
In the hands of the Japanese army, drawing a map was not an easy task.
It was absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to allow the Chinese army to enter the areas they controlled to draw maps. At that time, the three major forces in North China were quite wary of the Central Army entering their territory. Not only would they not provide assistance, they would even prevent and restrict them at every turn.
.Coupled with some bandit armed forces and various local armed forces in Taihang District and Beiyue Mountains, it is already very good that this map can be drawn like this.
After all, at this time, not only did there not be the technology of later generations, but also the stable conditions of later generations. With this map, Yang Zhen's thinking became clearer. He was such a person. When stating his thoughts, he compared
The clearer his map, the clearer his topics and ideas will be.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Zhen's approach has always been praised by people as he likes to personally design some new gadgets, new weapons, and also likes to engage in education. He is privately called one of the three monsters No. 1. For this kind of private openness among his subordinates,
As a joke, Yang Zhen refused the Political Department's attempt to investigate and just laughed it off. In fact, he liked his subordinates very much for being able to make such a joke with him.
After listening to Yang Zhen's thoughts and hesitations, the two veterans could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. They were political commissars, but the commander was very clear and quite understanding of the reasons for Yang Zhen's worries. However,
In his opinion, this result was caused by Yang Zhen's excessive appetite. As long as the speed is controlled, this problem is not unsolvable.
Regarding the old commander's opinion, Yang Zhen hesitated for a long time and then shook his head and said: "Two old chiefs, this is not a matter of one's ability. According to the equipment of the Anti-League, the terrain of Chabei is similar to that of Chanan.
Compared with the Chabei area, it is more conducive to giving full play to the advantages in equipment. Compared with the mountainous areas in Chanan, I prefer to fight with the Japanese army in the wild in the Chabei area,"
"It is better to cut off one of his ten fingers. When our army attacks Chabei, whether the Japanese army is willing or not, they must reinforce the Chabei area. Because our army marches into Chabei, the Japanese army faces not only the impact of its rule in the Chabei area.
Threat. More importantly, our army occupies Chabei, and its Zhangjiakou line northwest of Pingjin will be directly under the front of our army. As long as we are willing, we can go south to seize Zhangjiakou, Pingjin line, or even Datong at any time."
"So whether the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia are willing or not, they are bound to come out in full force. This creates an opportunity for our army to annihilate one or even most of the enemy in the field. The Japanese army is indeed capable of fighting in the field.
It is extremely strong, but if you stick to one place, the threat will be greater. Lure the snake out of its hole and use our army's advantage in armored forces, which will be more conducive to our army's annihilation of the enemy."
"To be honest, the two commanders-in-chief, I am not willing to fight a tough battle unless it is absolutely necessary. Not only is the Japanese army very capable of holding on, but once there are solid fortifications to rely on, it will be very difficult to encircle and annihilate them, and the sacrifice will be much greater.
.And the areas they occupy are all our flesh and blood compatriots. These people may be used as human shields by the Japanese army at any time during the battle. We have encountered this situation more than once in the Northeast, so we should avoid using the same weapon as the rat."
"The most critical thing is that the mountainous terrain in the Cha'nan area is not suitable for our army to take advantage of its mechanized operations. However, it can take advantage of the Japanese army's advantage in fortifications. Judging from the limited intelligence, in order to prepare for the Soviet attack, the Japanese army
A large number of fortresses and fortification groups have been built north of Zhangjiakou. Coupled with the restrictions of the terrain, our army may be trapped here for a long time. In this way, our army's original advantage has turned into a disadvantage."
"Perhaps during our army's westward advance, the Japanese North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army will be dispatched. But as long as our army deploys its troops correctly and takes advantage of our tank and mechanized troops, it is not impossible to defeat it. As long as our army grabs the lead
If we can encircle and annihilate most or part of the Japanese garrison in Mongolia before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the initiative will be firmly in our hands."
Seeing Yang Zhen's confident look, the commander smiled and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, it is a good thing that you are confident. But things on the battlefield have always been ever-changing. Have you ever considered that in my case?
When the Japanese army marched into the Chabei area, the Japanese garrison in Mongolia did not move out. But when our army attacked Suiyuan, they went directly north from Datong. Taking advantage of the fierce fighting in the Guisui and Baotou areas with the main force of our army, we cut off our troops in one fell swoop.
The army’s retreat?”
"It's not impossible. If you want to capture Guisui and Baotou, no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to fight a tough battle with the Japanese army. If the Japanese army uses Baotou and Guisui to hold back our army, and the main force of the Mongolian army comes out of Datong to detour us,
When the time comes, we will face a flanking attack from both the front and the rear."
"Comrade Yang Zhen, you know very well that based on the mobility of the Japanese army, even if our army conducts large-scale raids on the railway lines in Shanxi and Hebei, it will not be able to delay the Japanese army's actions for too long. Regardless of the Japanese army,
Whether it's the ability to march in mountainous areas or the ability to conduct long-distance raids, they are far superior to our army."
"And when we destroy the railways, we can only say that we destroy the Japanese army's ability to mobilize troops through railway lines. As the main cities and strategic locations in the Japanese-controlled areas, the Japanese army has stored a large amount of food, ammunition, and supplies in Pingjin, Zhangjiakou, and Datong, and
They still have a considerable number of cars in their hands. Even if we destroy railway lines in various places, we cannot completely cut off their supply of materials."
"Once the Japanese army quickly adds reinforcements to the battlefield, the entire war situation may deteriorate at any time. The troops in the pass are not able to bear this kind of battle at the moment, and the total number of troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is limited, so they cannot invest too many troops at once. We still
That sentence, in this case, still needs to be carefully considered."
"And you just said that this kind of combat puts pressure on your logistics. Your troops are now so mechanized that once the fuel is exhausted, they will lose their combat effectiveness. You should also know that your tanks,
A car, without the supply of oil, is basically a pile of scrap metal. We Sichuan people have a saying that you can’t have a full meal, but you can’t knock a bucket of rice without it. My gay brother, you can’t chew off more than you can chew.”
It can be said that he spoke sincerely to the old commander. Yang Zhen thought about it and finally shook his head and said: "Old commander, I understand what you said, but this cannot be solved with caution. On the one hand, it can only achieve the tactical goal, and
It is an extremely unstable tactical goal. On the one hand, it is to achieve a complete strategic goal. Old chief, which one do you think I should choose?"
"Whether a stable communication line can be established depends not only on whether the customs troops can receive support from the industrial base and food base in North Manchuria. More importantly, it also affects whether the Northeast Anti-Japanese Base Area can be fully developed. You must know
, with various industrial constructions in full swing, we now not only lack soldiers, but also urgently need a large number of workers. Even the most basic agricultural population is lacking."
"Because in my plan, I will not only build Northern Manchuria into an industrial base, but also a food base. The land in Northern Manchuria is rich and is black soil. Once developed, the food production here will be enough to supply all the people in the pass.
The needs of major strategic areas. But now we are faced with a serious lack of population and can only stare at large areas of fertile land without being able to develop it."
"Do you know why we have found out that there is an oil field in the Qiqihar area that is large enough to supply the country's oil needs, but it has been unable to be developed? In addition to some military reasons, the most fundamental reason is the serious lack of corresponding oil fields.
Manpower.”
"According to incomplete statistics at the end of last year, the current agricultural population shortage in Northern Manchuria is in the millions. Not counting construction and technical workers, but based on the factories currently being built, the basic industrial population shortage alone is around 150,000.
This does not include the demand for forestry workers and the mining industry."
"Large-scale industrial construction requires a large amount of wood. The Greater and Lesser Hinggan Mountains, Wanda Mountains, and Zhangguangcai Mountains in Northern Manchuria have enough wood to meet the needs of the whole country. However, we are unable to carry out large-scale construction because of the lack of effective manpower except for Japanese prisoners of war.
Large-scale development. There is also the mining industry. Except for Japanese prisoners of war and die-hard elements of the traitors, there is a serious shortage of labor."
"As for soldiers, with our full support, the shortage is the smallest. However, the shortage of reserve soldiers is also around 500,000. Moreover, due to continuous conscription and the provision of industrial workers for industry, our agriculture has
The population can only be maintained at the most basic standard for a long time."
"Our most fundamental goal in opening up the transportation lines, in addition to feeding the northern Manchurian industry back to the battlefield inside the pass, is to mobilize a large number of people to migrate from the occupied areas to the northern Manchuria area. Once a large number of people migrate, they will not attract the attention of the Japanese army and intercept almost all of them.
Impossible. Once the Japanese army discovers the migration of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, the consequences will be disastrous. So we must establish a stable transportation line to ensure the safety of population migration."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked back at the North China battle map behind him, gritted his teeth and said: "Besides, I am bound to win this battle between Guisui and Baotou. Even if I have to pay a certain amount of sacrifice, I will not hesitate to do so."
.Because this is related to whether our army's weapons and equipment can be truly developed for a long time to come."
