Regarding Yi Jianping's question about Su Yingqi, Yang Jicai said without any hesitation: "Political Commissar, I believe that this Su Yingqi definitely has this ability. Indeed, he may still have a certain gap in commanding infantry and artillery coordinated operations. He was transferred to
I haven’t been working in Northeast China for a long time, and I haven’t received more rigorous and systematic training.”
"If it weren't for the expansion of the army before this battle, there would be a certain gap in military cadres. At this time, he should still be studying at the military command school. Because of this, the superiors arranged for him to serve as the regiment commander in the local division instead of being transferred to
The main force serves as the group leader."
"But in this situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, their strength is to contain the enemy within a certain period of time. The political commissar will fight hard with their current strength, even if they have strong artillery firepower
Cover, but it is difficult to hold on for too long. For them, they can only adopt mobile and flexible tactics as much as possible to contain the Japanese army."
"Under this situation, Su Yingqi needs the practical experience gained from fighting for a long time in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we are short of guns and ammunition. Although there is no shortage of ammunition and equipment at the moment, we and the Seventh Division are still in the same troop strength.
The gap is quite fatal. It is also our biggest weakness now."
"The political commissar was able to quickly and accurately judge the battle situation and the surrounding enemy situation in a hurry, and chose a route that seemed to be the most difficult on the surface, but was actually the simplest and least enemy situation. No one knew the battlefield situation
Accurate judgment and a clear and cool mind are not possible."
"It is precisely because of this that I believe that he will be able to last more than five hours on the front line of Bayannuoer. In Bayannuoer, according to the current strength of the second regiment, what is needed most is flexible combat. Not in Bayannuoer.
They fought hard there and wiped out all the troops."
"So I think the current situation is most in line with his combat style. It's just that he does have a weakness in commanding artillery. The use of mortars is okay, but he can command a combined artillery group composed of heavy artillery and mountain field artillery.
It's a little bit worse if multiple arms are fighting together."
"Although our regiment-level military cadres are not necessarily good at this aspect, after all, they have all received professional assessment and study. At least there are no big problems in commanding artillery to cooperate with operations. Su Yingqi is one of his best
Weaknesses."
"But fortunately, our combat staff officer Zhao Jun is still operating with them. I suggest that the superiors temporarily appoint Zhao Jun as the deputy commander of the second regiment or acting chief of staff, who will be responsible for artillery command, but will not participate in combat command.
Zhao Jun is my junior student in the staff training class of the former Military Region Instruction Team, and I know this person well."
"The combat theory is quite solid, and his staff business assessment has always been quite good, especially in the artillery major, all of which are excellent. But the biggest shortcoming of this guy is his lack of actual combat experience, and he is quite stubborn. Su Yingqi
This person's fighting style is very different from ours. If he is allowed to participate in the command of the troops, there will definitely be chaos."
"It's like tying two stubborn donkeys to the same trough. If only a handful of materials are put in, they will definitely fight. It's better to let them each take responsibility to avoid interfering with the battle. Political Commissar, if the two of them can cooperate with each other tacitly,
, I think a few more hours won’t be a problem.”
Listening to Yang Jicai's reply, Yi Jianping smiled and said nothing. To be honest, Yi Jianping knew this old subordinate very well. When Yi Jianping went to the Fifth Division of the Southern Hebei Military Region as the deputy political commissar of the regiment, this guy
He happened to serve as the company commander under his subordinates. At that time, he made no major mistakes all day long, but kept making small mistakes. This caused the regiment commander and political commissar at the time a headache.
Especially the regimental commander at that time was the recruit he had led when he was the squad leader in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area. He could not even beat or scold his old superior. In fact, within his own regiment, although this guy
There are constant small mistakes, but they don't create too big a trap.
This guy doesn't have any hobbies except tobacco and alcohol. At least he doesn't engage in whoring or gambling. He has never made these two most fatal mistakes. The regiment leader has a headache for the oldest company commander in the regiment.
, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t really protect him, and it doesn’t mean that we can’t cover up the small mistakes he made.
But during a counter-mopping operation, this guy almost escaped being ordered to be shot by the political commissar of the military region at the time because he shot two Japanese prisoners without permission. At that time, the Japanese army was at its peak in the Guan Nei battlefield, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong. The Guan Nei troops
It is also in the process of expansion, and too many new troops have caused a decline in combat effectiveness and a shortage of guns and ammunition.
Capturing two Japanese prisoners is not a small feat. It is also very useful for politically dismantling the enemy. Japanese prisoners are notoriously difficult to capture, and Japanese prisoners in their peak period are even more difficult to capture. Not to mention all of them.
It was not easy to capture the wounded. This time, two were captured at once, causing a sensation throughout the Jinan Military Region.
In the end, this guy shot them all to death. This guy was really messed up. Not to mention the regiment commander, even the commander of the military division, his old comrade from the same period, couldn't protect him. At that time, he was in charge
The political commissar of the military region who arranged the work for the fifth division ordered his arrest.
According to the wishes of the political commissar of the military region, they must be shot to warn the other cadres not to shoot prisoners without authorization. Fortunately, Yi Jianping wrote several times to the Political Department of the 129th Division, the superior of the Southern Hebei Military Region, and got through to the Political Department.
The director's job saved him. After fighting to the end, he was sent down to work as a soldier.
However, this guy did live up to his expectations, and became the company commander again within half a year after several battles. There was also a shortage of military cadres at that time, so it was impossible to use such a person as a soldier all the time. But after getting into trouble a few times later, he faced
In order to protect him, his unbearable superiors recommended him to the county brigade as a captain when Yi Jianping took advantage of the expansion of local armed forces and needed the opportunity of military cadres.
Although he was downgraded from the main force to the county brigade, his appearance was somewhat unsightly. But he didn't have to hang around in front of the superiors all day, some things could be suppressed in private, and he could be less aggressive. Especially if he wasn't in the presence of those who couldn't watch.
In front of people who are accustomed to his behavior, he will not be caught with a small whip all day long. When the army expands in the future, will it be said by his superiors?
Although he has been a company commander for almost half his life, he has countless old superiors and old comrades. These people are working in important positions, and it is only a matter of words to let him return to the main force. It is still good for him to engage in local armed forces to avoid the limelight.
There are certain benefits, and at least his bad habits can be eliminated. Because the atmosphere in the army at that time was that it was very shameful to come down from the main force to engage in local armed forces.
Moreover, Yi Jianping felt that compared with the main force, the work of local armed forces was more suitable for him. Later, after he was transferred to the Northeast, his superiors transferred some cadres from the customs to the Northeast. Yi Jianping knew about him from the cadres transferred from the customs.
After realizing the current situation, he and Chen Zhiping were sent to the Northeast together.
As for Su Yingqi, as an old superior, Yi Jianping can be said to know him better than Yang Jicai. But for Yi Jianping, he feels that Su Yingqi is like a time bomb, and he may not know when to poke something out for you.
There comes a basket that you can't even cover.
What Yang Jicai said is right. This guy is indeed rich in actual combat experience and can fight. The most important thing is that this guy has an extraordinary sense of smell on the battlefield and can always detect hidden dangers in advance. In Chen Zhiping's words,
This guy just has cat eyes and a dog nose.
However, over the past few years of the local armed forces, Yi Jianping felt that instead of receiving a lesson, this guy was even more wild. Yang Jicai wanted to put him on the front line of Bayannuoer, and Yi Jianping was very worried about this guy becoming famous.
He lost his sight and exhausted all his troops, unable to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.
As for whether the soles of his feet will be greased, Yi Jianping is very confident about this. Su Yingqi has all kinds of problems, but he is definitely not the kind of guy who has bad knowledge and runs away regardless of the arrangements of his superiors. But he
That kind of two-pole strength, regardless of anything, is the real thing.
When the Fourth Front Army was carrying out a large-scale suppression of counter-revolutionaries, this guy dared to fight against the counter-revolutionaries with a machete. When the whole army emphasized preferential treatment of prisoners, he dared to shoot the prisoners without permission, and even in front of the political commissar of the military region. In this world, Yi Jian
Ping didn't know what else he didn't dare to do.
As for the overall situation, once the headquarters approves the commander's operational opinions, Bayan Noor, as a key node on the retreat route of the 7th Division, will be under tremendous pressure and will also be the sticking point of the entire battlefield. If he
If it collapses first, no matter how good the plan is, it will be ruined.
That's why Yi Jianping asked with some worry. But he didn't expect that Yang Jicai's view of Su Yingqi was actually different from everyone else's. He even thought that the current battle was in line with Su Yingqi's personality. For Yang Jicai
This was different from others, a very strange and alternative view, and Yi Jianping felt somewhat surprised.
But since Yang Jicai had so much confidence in him, Yi Jianping didn't say anything more. After all, he was fighting the battle. Su Yingqi was his old subordinate, and he still knew his character and character. As long as Yang Jicai grasped the big picture,
As for the direction, it should not be a big problem.
He carefully looked at the map and saw the line marked by Yang Jicai representing the retreat route of the Second Regiment. After careful consideration for a while, Yi Jianping changed the topic to the current situation and said: "If the commander agrees to the retreat of the Second Regiment,
After retreating to the front line of Bayannuoer, I will no longer be close to you. I want to know how long you can hold on here."
"What I'm talking about is how long you can hold on under the all-out attack of the Japanese 7th Division's concentrated main force. What you said makes sense. We cannot judge the true nature of the 7th Division based on the current intelligence.
The target must be the front line of East Ujimqin Banner."
"Or they will not turn their attention to the Bahrain Left Banner after being attacked by such fierce ground and air fire. So you have to give me a clear answer. If the 7th Division is really determined to break through the Bahrain Left Banner, I will
Military defense line. With your current strength, how long can you hold on?"
"In a word, no matter what the true intention of his Seventh Division is, we cannot lose the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds. No matter what the next intention of the headquarters and the column is, the Bala Chirud front line must not be lost.
This is related to the safety of the entire Linxi battlefield flank. You have limited troops at hand, and it is very important whether you can persist for the time required by your superiors."
In response to Yi Jianping's rhetorical question, Yang Jicai said without the slightest hesitation: "Based on the troops and firepower currently invested by the Japanese army from Bala Qirude to Aohan Yingzi. As long as the column does not transfer aviation and heavy artillery units, my
