As for the subsequent political factors and lip-service matters, let it be left to the central government to resolve. As a military commander, he is more concerned about military gains and losses in order to achieve strategic goals. As for political matters
, I'd better forget it and let the central government worry about it. Considering the chairman's courage and the current situation of the central government, these things should not be too much of an obstacle.
As for the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army in northwest Shanxi, the commander of the Jinsui Military Region who was born as the commander of the 120th Division, as long as the central government gives orders, he will seize the necessary fighter opportunities. The equipment he airlifted there, with his persistence, has
A quarter was allocated to his Shanxi-Sui Military Region.
The reason why they chose this place as the key target for the reloading was not only because they shouldered the important task of defending the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, but also because Yang Zhen had laid the groundwork for this battle in advance. In addition to being formed separately like other military regions,
Directly under the mountain artillery.
Yang Zhen also deployed an additional 100mm howitzer regiment, a 75mm field artillery battalion, a 37 Soviet-made anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and 30 Soviet-made Deshka anti-aircraft machine guns to the Jinsui Military Region.
A large amount of ammunition, grenades, explosives and artillery shells have been stockpiled in the Jinsui Military Region.
Even after obtaining the approval of the central government, from the funds reserved by the military region, a thousand taels of gold and a batch of cash, as well as a large number of submachine guns and lances were specially allocated to the Shanxi-Sui Military Region and the Shaanxi-Sui Military Region.
Gan Ning's left-behind corps was used to form a large number of cavalry to purchase horses and solve the problem of feed.
The Jinsui Military Region spans northwest Shanxi and Suiyuan, and is close to the Mongolian nomadic areas that are rich in horses. Although the Japanese and puppets have tight control over horses, the geographical location is here and there, and it is not too difficult to deal with horses. But the cost of raising a cavalry
Too high, almost equal to five infantrymen. In addition, most of the areas under its jurisdiction are barren and the people are poor. Without external support, it is impossible to support too many cavalry.
In order to increase the maneuverability of the Jinsui Military Region, Yang Zhen, unlike other regions, specially allocated a sum of funds to the Jinsui Military Region. He even airlifted nearly 10,000 anti-Japanese sabers from the Northeast at any cost. He was so
The painstaking efforts are just for this battle and to increase the maneuverability of the Jinsui Military Region.
If he hadn't been preparing for this battle, Yang Zhen wouldn't have spent so much money on the Jinsui Military Region, the only one among the four major bases behind enemy lines in North China that wasn't surrounded by enemies. If he was too selfish, he would have paid more attention.
The focus should be placed on our old troops, the 129th Division and the Taihang Military Region.
If it is just to open up the connection with the pass, then he can give all these equipment to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which is closest to the northeast. Instead of allocating it to the Suiyuan and Chaxi areas if they do not go west, they will fight against the Allied Forces going south.
The Jinsui Military Region has the least cooperation.
The reason why Yang Zhen spent so much effort and money was so that when he could advance westward into the Suiyuan area, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region could provide favorable cooperation. While dedicating some of his forces to carry out an attack on the northern section of the Tongpu Line, he also wanted to seize the opportunity.
In front of the Suixi Army of the Eighth Theater, go north to Suiyuan to cut off the Pingsui Line and seize Guisui and Baotou.
As long as the Jinsui Military Region moves quickly and enters the Guisui and Baotou areas before the Eighth War Zone, some problems will no longer be a problem. However, if you want to get full support from the Jinsui Military Region in the next battle, you must have
The coordination of the central government. Therefore, this matter must be handed over to the central government for the final decision no matter what.
Since Yang Zhen also agreed that this matter should be decided by the Central Committee, the commander and political commissar of the advancing army said nothing more. The two sides drafted a telegram respectively and reported their ideas to the Central Committee. At the same time, they considered all aspects and the two sides.
The differences between the two parties on the next step of combat ideas were also reported to the central government.
After sending out two telegrams with tens of thousands of words each, Yang Zhen thought for a while and sent them to Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, who stayed in the northern Manchu base to command, asking them to prepare. First, after Wang Guangyu completed the Linxi operation,
, immediately used all means to transfer the supplies stored in Qiqihar to Rehe.
Second, the Political Department asked the Political Department to select a group of female soldiers with excellent military qualities from various art troupes, and accompany the plane transporting supplies to Linxi to Rehe to prepare for rotation training of female soldiers entering the military art troupe. Considering that it is easier for female soldiers to communicate with each other, it is also
Since it was not easy to cause any mess, Yang Zhen decided to train the instructors of the Army Art Troupe from among the female soldiers in his own army.
After a long period of rigorous training, most of the military qualities of the female soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Federation Art Troupe can be said to be the best among female soldiers of this era. Although due to different training standards, most of them are not as good as those serious soldiers.
The field troops of Bajing are not much different in basic military skills. Whether it is shooting, bombing, long-distance marching, or basic techniques and tactics, they are all quite good.
And not only the female soldiers of the art troupe have actual combat capabilities, but even the female cadres at all levels of the art troupe also have the most basic command abilities. All cadres of the art troupe must learn basic command majors and pass professional examinations. Otherwise, even if
In a department like the Art Troupe, soldiers are not allowed to be promoted, which was specifically requested by Yang Zhen. In this regard, the Art Troupe and other departments with many female soldiers are no different from ordinary combat troops.
Because Yang Zhen believes that the enemy is omnipresent. Although you are an art troupe and propaganda team and do not directly go to the troops to fight, you still have to go to the troops to perform. In wartime, what the troops need most is to boost morale, but it is impossible to send out troops at any time.
A lot of troops are going to protect you.
Any situation can happen on the front line. Your art troupe must not only have basic self-protection capabilities. But cadres at all levels must also have basic command capabilities. At the very least, when encountering the enemy, they can lead their own troops or choose the terrain.
Resist, or decide how to get rid of the enemy. This is why Yang Zhen requires cadres in non-combat departments at all levels to have company- and platoon-level command capabilities.
Yang Zhen was reluctant to transfer the cadres of the combat troops to departments such as the Art Troupe, which did not have actual combat opportunities most of the time. Therefore, in Yang Zhen's view, the cadres of the Women's Art Troupe, regardless of gender, must learn certain command abilities.
It means commanding one's own department and having the ability to protect oneself when encountering the enemy.
Cadres at all levels of the art troupe have very little chance of participating in actual combat. It is impossible for them to accumulate rich actual combat experience like cadres of combat troops. If they have not received command training, they will not become a herd once they encounter the enemy. Those who have not experienced actual combat will
The cadres may be a little rigid in their response, but it is still better than those flowery female soldiers falling into a beast force like the Japanese army.
Therefore, the female soldiers of the Anti-Japanese League can act when they put on costumes on stage, and fight when they get off stage and pick up guns. Cadres at all levels can not only perform on stage, but also command operations at the company and platoon level when off stage. And some of them
The military quality of female cadres and female soldiers is not inferior to that of grassroots company commanders and male soldiers.
In the words of Li Yanping, who has been to Yan'an and received condolences from the art troupe of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Left-behind Corps and art departments at all levels, those female soldiers are like flowers and jade, and they are the true art soldiers. You can come to us here
They are all a group of dominatrixes who would kill without blinking an eye if necessary. And judging from the current results, they are pretty good.
If it were not a combat unit, there would be no female company commanders and female soldiers. I am afraid there would be absolutely no problem in transferring these people to the combat unit. Moreover, it would be relatively unreasonable to send a group of art troupe members who are female soldiers to Rehe to train these female soldiers in rotation.
It's easy to get involved in some messy things.
In addition to these two things, the most important thing Yang Zhen did in this telegram was to tell Guo Bingxun to immediately deploy the aviation force and gather the best combat staff to study how to take off from Linxi and attack the civilian areas in Hebei.
The possibility of bombing several major railway hubs such as the Han Dynasty, the Zhengtai Line, the Pingsui Line, Beiping Railway Station, Zhangjiakou Station, and Shimen Station. In particular, the various bridges and tunnels on the major railways must be targeted as key bombing targets.
Yang Zhen's attitude is very clear, that is, these railways must be unusable during the westward campaign. Not within a short period of time, but throughout the entire campaign. In other words, how can they be used at the minimum cost?
, destroy the Peiping Railway Hub, as well as the bridges and tunnels on the Ping-Han Line, Ping-Sui Line, and Zhengtai Line to the maximum extent. Regardless of whether the central government approves your plan or not, advance preparations must be made.
After the telegram was sent, although Yang Zhen knew that the central government wanted to compare the two battle plans, and also need to consider the entire domestic situation and the follow-up reactions after the war, the reply would not be too fast. At this moment, northern Manchuria and western Manchuria
The war was urgent, and he could not stay in Rehe for much longer. But in his heart, Yang Zhen still wanted to stay here for a while, waiting for the central government's reply with the two veterans.
The two veterans, who naturally understood what he was thinking at this moment, looked at Yang Zhen's hesitant expression, but could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. This young man is good at everything, especially one who has not been trained in long-term independent combat.
Individualism. He is also generous with his actions, and he gives everything he has to the brother troops in the pass, giving him whatever he wants.
Nowadays, the Kanai army has completely got rid of the original shortage of guns and ammunition in terms of equipment, all thanks to this young rising star in front of them. He is really capable of fighting and has courage. Being able to create such a big situation in a place like Northeast China is not only
It can be solved by fighting.
It's just that this character is a bit too stubborn, with a temperament that would rather bend than bend. There is even a spirit of courage to achieve the goal at any cost. But to be honest, in Northern Manchuria where powerful enemies are looking around, the fighting situation is extremely cruel.
In this place, it is impossible to win the situation without this kind of character. But if we relax even a little there, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After thinking for a while, the political commissar said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, don't be anxious. Whether it is the battle you are currently fighting in Western Manchuria or the battle we are currently fighting in Rehe, it is still far from clear. Even if the Central Committee
Now that the answer has been given, we may not be able to implement it now. We should still focus on the ongoing war now. As for how to fight the next step, it is not too late to wait until the end of our current war before making a decision."
"If the war we are currently engaged in achieves our expected goals, then there will be no problem with how the central government responds and what we do next. But if our battle fails this time, then we can only consider how to restore the situation in the next step. So.
, the top priority right now is to fight the current battle well, this is the basis for our next battle."
"It's a good thing to be prepared for a rainy day, and it's even better to have a long-term vision. But our next step is to capture the area west of Western Manchuria and Rezhong, and first open up the communication line between Northern Manchuria and Rehe. If this goal is not achieved, next time
How can we start a one-step operation? Therefore, Comrade Yang Zhen, whether it is you resisting the alliance or our advancing army, the most important thing is to do the current things well."
