After listening to Yang Jicai's words, Yi Jianping frowned slightly. He did not expect that the young staff officer in front of him would dare to doubt the strategic deployment of the headquarters. However, although he was a little surprised by this guy's audacity, Yi Jianping also felt it in his heart.
I couldn't help but secretly praise this guy for his flexible mind and long-term vision.
After thinking about it, Yi Jianping said: "Write a detailed report on your overall analysis and judgment on the battle situation in Alhorqin Banner, and report it directly to the headquarters in my name. Remember, give me all the details you said.
Write it out. In addition, I want to ask you a question. Please think carefully before answering me."
"The question I am about to ask is the real reason why I came to you. You must think carefully before answering me. This question is now asked by the commander and me. But maybe in the near future, these people like me
Maybe I am asking you a question on behalf of the headquarters or No. 1."
Hearing Yi Jianping's last words, which were said in a very solemn tone, Yang Jicai couldn't help but be stunned. If Yi Jianping asked himself a question in this tone, it would definitely be a very critical question. Looking at Yi Jianping's seriousness under the firelight
, it can even be said to be a bit gloomy, Yang Jicai couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
In fact, as early as when Yi Jianping arrived at his place, Yang Jicai was already very clear that the political commissar was definitely not here simply to pursue accountability. If it was to pursue accountability, it would be enough to send a deputy director of the political department of the column to make a trip. As a whole
The political commissar who is the top political worker in the Linxi battlefield is definitely not suitable to leave Linxi at this time.
The political commissar happened to come at this time, so Yang Jicai believed that an important task would be entrusted to him, or to the troops in Aru Horqin Banner. And in Yang Jicai's view, this important task must be with Aru Horqin Banner.
The entire war situation in Horqin Banner is closely related.
Yang Jicai, who roughly guessed what question Yi Jianping wanted to ask him, nodded solemnly after a moment of reflection. In his opinion, no matter what the task assigned to him by his superiors, he must follow it.
Because he is the number one younger brother, he must not embarrass his own eldest brother.
Although few people in the army know about his relationship with his eldest brother, the number one in the Anti-Japanese Alliance. However, this relationship has always encouraged Yang Jicai, and at the same time, it has also brought considerable pressure to him. With other middle and lower-level people in the army,
Young cadres worshiped Yang Zhen almost to the point of fanaticism. In Yang Jicai's heart, Yang Zhen was regarded as his idol, but at the same time, it was a huge pressure.
While catching up with his eldest brother was his constant effort, he also always knew that his eldest brother had great expectations for him. Although there were not many opportunities for the two brothers to get together, Yang Jicai was sensitive to it from his eldest brother's words.
The eldest brother has high expectations for himself. So no matter what Yi Jianping says next or what he asks of himself, he will do it without hesitation.
Seeing Yang Jicai nodding, Yi Jianping used tongs to pick up a branch that had been burned into charcoal and lit a cigarette for himself. After taking a deep breath, he said: "Now let me allocate part of your troops to seize Bayan."
Can you do it with Noel on the front line and hold on for at least five hours?"
"The premise I'm talking about is that you absolutely cannot take any risk of being breached along the line from Bala Qirude to Aohan Yingzi. And from now on, the column will not be able to add another soldier to you for at least twelve hours.
A reinforcement of one soldier. So don’t rush to answer my question."
"I hope you can answer my question carefully, instead of not considering it in detail for some reason. I will give you ten minutes to think about it. After ten minutes, you will tell me whether you can do it. Remember
The premise of what I said is as well as a comprehensive consideration based on the situation you are currently facing."
After hearing Yi Jianping's question, Yang Jicai did not answer him immediately. Instead, he walked to the table and looked at the map under the lantern. When he walked to the map, he stared at it, as if there was something weird on it.
Yang Jicai had the same thing, but Yi Jianping didn't rush him.
Because Yi Jianping knows very well that no matter how skillful this young man is now, he is fighting the main force of the 7th Division with a regiment of troops, and his troops have probably been used to the extreme. At this moment, let him deploy troops to the southeast of Ba
As Yannuoer's frontline expands, the pressure can be imagined.
In this small wooden room at this moment, all the staff members and security personnel had already withdrawn while the two people were talking. In the small room, after Yi Jianping finished asking these questions,
, before Yang Jicai didn't answer, it seemed unusually quiet. Only the sound of intensive gunfire from the front not far away still reminded that this was a battlefield.
Yi Jianping was smoking while looking at the watch on his wrist. The time was getting closer to the ten minutes he said, but Yi Jianping didn't urge him at all and just kept smoking. Here.
Yi Jianping has always been very patient when it comes to things like this. He said ten minutes, and it was definitely ten minutes.
Just when Yi Jianping looked at his watch, which was still one minute away from his request, and considered whether to give Yang Jicai a little more time to think about it more, Yang Jicai over there had already finished thinking. He looked at the man standing in front of him.
Yang Jicai, Yi Jianping did not rush to ask him the result, but lit a cigarette and smoked it quietly before saying: "Have you considered it?"
Without thinking, Yang Jicai spread the map in his hand in front of himself and Yi Jianping and said: "Political Commissar, after thinking about it, I will take over this task. Bayannur is on the retreat route of the Second Regiment, and they still have more than one person on hand.
The strength of the battalion. There are also two 155 howitzers, one each of the 122 and 107 rocket launchers, as well as a field artillery company and a heavy mortar company."
"As long as they can withdraw smoothly, under such a powerful fire cover, they will have no problem for six hours. However, I have a condition. I hope the column can satisfy me. During the battle, the second regiment's ammunition was consumed.
The loss of artillery was not large, but the loss of light and heavy machine guns was quite large.”
"If the column can try its best to supplement them with some light and heavy machine guns and some ammunition. I think with the ability of Su Yingqi, the leader of the Second Regiment, it is completely possible to hold on for six to eight hours. Political Commissar, Su Yingqi is very capable. And
I feel that his battlefield judgment ability is still above mine."
"Although I haven't had much contact with him, I feel like he is a seasoned veteran, the kind of seasoned veteran who has been completely prepared on the battlefield. Although this kind of person may not have a high level of knowledge, his actual combat experience is definitely first-class. The battlefield
His commanding and grasping abilities are also top-notch.”
"After Commander Wang died, the Second Regiment was ordered to retreat. Although there was no precise information at that time, judging from the situation, the Seventh Division had already deployed part of its troops and set up an ambush along our retreat route. Behind the enemy's back, we were alone.
With almost no way to retreat, he chose a route that even I had not thought of."
"Although we suffered some losses, we basically brought out all the troops that could be concentrated. And basically all the artillery that was strengthened for them was brought out. I think with this person's command ability, if we can supplement them with sufficient
With ammunition, there should be no problem in holding on to Bayan Noor for a few hours if necessary."
Yang Jicai pointed to the map, where he drew a line from Zagastanol to Bayannuor: "This is the retreat route reported by Su Yingqi. Judging from their current retreat speed, as long as they do not encounter the Japanese army
They will reach the front line of Bayannuoer in five hours after the large force blocks the attack. And Bayannuoer is exactly the place you specified where we need to divide our troops and hold on to it."
Having said this, Yang Jicai shook his head again and said: "Actually, he can move faster. He has two 155 heavy howitzers, two rocket launcher batteries, a field artillery battery and a heavy
The mortar company also has several mountain cannons that were originally attached to it. Its artillery firepower is now probably the only one among all regiment-level troops."
"The erection and removal of heavy artillery and field artillery is troublesome, but mountain artillery and heavy mortars are not that troublesome. The 107 rocket launcher is even more troublesome. As for the 122 rocket launcher, it is self-propelled. Even heavy artillery and heavy mortars are self-propelled.
The erection and removal of field artillery take more time, but these two kinds of artillery also have the longest range."
"If he puts a company or a platoon in front as the vanguard when retreating, and the various artillery behind him will alternately cover the fire group according to different firing ranges. Once encountering a Japanese blockade, use artillery fire to force the way or block it.
His traveling speed will be even faster."
"Although in this way, the artillery may be a little overtired due to the relatively frequent erection and withdrawal of artillery, but the efficiency will be much higher. Especially the 122 rocket launcher, with a maximum range of more than 20 kilometers, is enough for them
Provides fire cover from a sufficient distance."
"As for the route he chose, except for a few Japanese baggage troops and rear security troops, there were not many real Japanese troops. Even if he really encountered a Japanese squadron-level obstruction, as long as he concentrated his artillery fire, he could still
A breakthrough was achieved in the shortest possible time.”
"Because even for the ordinary infantry regiment of the Japanese army, the firepower in his hands is enough to be called luxurious. And if there are Japanese pursuers behind him, the artillery in his hands is enough to alternately cover their safe withdrawal as long as he spares the shells.
Come. As for the pursuit troops, even if the current Seventh Division can send troops, they are destined to not be too many."
"It's just a pity that the Chief of Staff who is most familiar with artillery among the commanders of the Second Regiment is missing on the battlefield, and this Commander Su is not so skilled in the use of artillery firepower. Especially the concepts are still a bit old and not suitable for our current situation.
Tactics. At the moment, he is still simply using infantry to cover the artillery retreat. This is a relatively rigid method, which will make the journey much slower."
"However, regardless of whether the retreat speed is fast or slow, one thing I can guarantee is that as long as this guy does not sacrifice, according to the battlefield sense he has shown so far, I think it is basically impossible for him to bring the troops safely to the Bayannuoer line.
Problem. And even for those heavy cannons, he is very likely to bring back a lot of parts."
Looking at the confident Yang Jicai, Yi Jianping smiled and said: "How confident are you in this Su Yingqi? In terms of actual combat experience, he is indeed extremely rich. A thirty-year-old Red Army veteran who has experienced the battles of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui
Counter-encirclement and Suppression, Six-Route Counter-Suppression in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area, Long March, and the West Route Army. In terms of actual combat experience, you are far behind. During the guerrilla operations in the pass, you also made great achievements."
"But when it comes to other aspects, especially the kind of combat we are currently conducting, it may be a little worse. Don't forget, he was the one I requested from the Southern Hebei Military Region. I served as the deputy political commissar of the independent regiment in the Southern Hebei Military Region.
At that time, he was my old subordinate, and I know this kid better than you. He can fight, but he can also cause trouble. Why do you think he can shoulder such an important task based on a retreat route? "
