According to Yang Jicai's suggestion, all the Baichengzi front line in the middle road must be abandoned. This is equivalent to a 180-degree U-turn in the entire original combat plan. In this situation, even if he, the highest political director of the Linxi theater,
It is impossible to make a decision without consulting the military commander and without asking the headquarters for instructions.
Although Yi Jianping is not the kind of dogmatic person, there are strict regulations in the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Without the necessary authorization from superiors, the political commissar cannot interfere with the command of the military chief, let alone the military chief.
battlefield deployment. On military issues, political commissars do not have the final say.
Even if he is the top political leader of the entire Linxi battlefield, he does not have the right to make such a comprehensive adjustment and deployment. He has just given the order to Qiu Jintang to mobilize all artillery to cooperate with Yang Jicai in the battle. He has already done his best. He has even exceeded the limit.
There is a certain bottom line, no matter how much he takes, it will depend on the situation.
What's more, Yang Jicai has only made requests so far, but has not reported any reports on the current battle situation on his side. The situation is unclear now, and he has not yet grasped the real progress of the battle. Even if he wants to overstep his authority, there is no way to do so.
Execution. If you want to convince Wang Guangyu, you must have first-hand knowledge of the progress of the battle. The most important thing is what does this guy really think?
What surprised Yi Jianping was that he could not contact Yang Jicai at this critical moment. The walkie-talkie was on, but there was no response to the call from the walkie-talkie.
The pilot's voice was hoarse from shouting, and there was silence.
At this time, the radio stations and wired telephones have been withdrawn here. In other words, even if the straight-line distance between the two is no more than 700 meters, now he can't contact him at all except for making a trip in person.
Yang Jicai was a few hundred meters away from him.
Although Yi Jianping didn't mind making a trip in person, Qiu Jintang next to him refused to do anything. Just kidding, I used a telescope to observe from here before. Although Yang Jicai down the mountain has not been breached, the area around his headquarters is
The fight was still lively. Although the Japanese army five hundred meters in front had no attack ability, they were like a nail, stuck there and refused to retreat.
Now the sky has gradually begun to lighten, and the distance to the Japanese army is so close. At this time, a stray bullet without eyes may be able to bring Yi Jianping, the top political director of the entire Western Manchuria battlefield, to see
Marx. Although he was not Yi Jianping's direct subordinate, how dare he, Qiu Jintang, take this risk anyway?
Although I don’t know what went wrong with Yang Jicai, I am now eager to know Yang Jicai’s true thoughts, and in order to dissuade Yi Jianping from leaving the original headquarters, which has now become the forefront, he has no choice but to take the most backward step.
Create a contact method and send a liaison officer to the foot of the mountain to find out what happened.
But Qiu Jintang did not expect that the distance of 700 meters would become a life-and-death line. The three correspondents he sent one after another were all knocked out by the long-range machine gun fire of the Japanese army in front of Yang Jicai's headquarters. This kind of
When the situation arose, both Yi Jianping and Qiu Jintang felt that something was wrong.
After receiving the report, the two people looked at each other, then they grabbed the binoculars and went directly to the shelter to look down the mountain. At first glance, both of them couldn't help but feel frightened. The battle situation at the bottom of the mountain had changed in just ten minutes.
, almost earth-shaking changes have taken place.
The Japanese troops who were originally still 500 meters away from Yang Jicai's headquarters have now reached an area less than 150 meters away from his headquarters. And behind this Japanese army, there is a steady stream of Japanese troops, risking their lives.
With the shells falling continuously, they rushed towards this side regardless of casualties.
At this time, Yang Jicai's only company, brought over by Yi Jianping, and the original guard platoon were still desperately resisting, but as the number of Japanese troops increased, they were showing signs of being at the end of their tether.
Under the pressure of the Japanese army, although the retreat was not large, it was always retreating slowly.
As for the two artillery batteries originally assigned to Yang Jicai, one was concentrating its firepower and firing on the right wing with all its strength, blocking the Japanese army's detour route behind the front line of Aohan Yingzi. The other was pouring artillery shells in the direction of the stone table. As for Yang Jicai's front,
I don't know why not a single shell has fallen.
Moreover, of the four artillery pieces of the artillery company that were firing in the direction of Shizuo at this moment, only two fired. The remaining two were silent all the time. Even if the barrels of the two artillery pieces were bald, it would be impossible in any case.
Blocking the breach of Stone Table opened by the Japanese army.
However, Qiu Jintang, who had already transferred all the artillery that he could mobilize to Yang Jicai, found that the artillery he had allocated to Yang Jicai was silent at this moment. Even in the face of such a crisis, not a single shell was fired.
, has always remained silent.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Yi Jianping said with some annoyance: "What the hell is this Yang Jicai doing? The artillery he asked for was given to him. Now the Japs are in front of him, but he himself is mute. Now the Japs have rushed in with more troops."
, has reached nearly an infantry brigade, and if he doesn’t take action at this time, what does he want to do?”
Yang Jicai over there didn't say anything, but Yi Jianping over there couldn't hold back his anger. Alhorqin Banner Front has already lost a military commander. If it loses another military officer, it would be a big joke. Also
It is fair to say that Yang Jicai died, but if he had been captured, he would have fought until the Anti-Japanese Alliance broke out of the mountains. There is no record of any cadres above the battalion level being captured.
Under the signal of Yi Jianping, who was obviously a bit impatient, Qiu Jintang personally grabbed the phone and called the 107th Rocket Artillery Battery deployed southeast of Sumoyintala, asking them to cooperate with the two artillery batteries in Yang Jicai's hands.
Fire a volley towards the Japanese attack sequence.
What made Qiu Jintang feel surprised and angry was that after receiving his order, the company commander actually said that he had received an order from Yang Jicai. Without his order, all artillerymen were not allowed to fire a single shell. Even Qiu Jintang's
Orders are absolutely not allowed. The artillery company commander fired the artillery without his orders, which was treated as insubordination on the battlefield.
Hearing the answer from the artillery company commander, Qiu Jintang almost became angry. He couldn't even give orders to himself, the commander-in-chief of the artillery. What is this? Not to mention the division of labor on the battlefield, even in terms of military rank, there is no rotation.
It's up to you, Yang Jicai, to say this.
If you don't listen to the orders of me, a dignified colonel, the commander-in-chief of the artillery on the entire Aruhorqin Banner battlefield, do you still have to obey the orders of you, a major, who is equivalent to the chief of staff of a simplified division? If Yamashita hadn't been blocked by Japanese fire at this time
If he couldn't get down, Qiu Jintang was so angry that he had to go to that guy to settle the score himself.
Qiu Jintang, who did not believe in evil, looked for other artillery commanders, but they all got the same reply. Even the two artillery regiment commanders on the front line had the same reply. But these two regiment commanders were responsible for their duties after all.
Although the answer is higher, the tone is still very clever.
I suggested that Qiu Jintang should communicate with Yang Jicai. After all, they have temporarily assigned Yang Jicai to command. The answers from the two regiment leaders made Qiu Jintang throw the phone down in anger. This is not assigned to him to fight with Yang Jicai. This is simply
Deprived of his right to command.
Qiu Jintang threw the phone down and looked at Yi Jianping who was deep in thought next to him with a livid face: "This is the best combat consultant of your column? Is this the style of your army? This is the fucking Anti-League
Our cadres are simply bandits. With a rough plan, they fooled my soldiers away."
"Now, even my command power has been taken away from me. Political Commissar Yi, my troops are cooperating with him in fighting according to your request, not assigned to his command. If he does this, isn't this a disguised seizure of power?
.”
Looking at Qiu Jintang who was very angry, Yi Jianping lit a pipe: "Lao Qiu, don't be angry. I think this guy did this because he was afraid that you and I would interfere with his command. Over there with the walkie-talkie,
I'm afraid it's not that there's something wrong with his walkie-talkie, but that he consciously didn't turn it on."
"In this way, no matter what this guy's true intention is, let's resolve the crisis on his side first. As for how to deal with him, let's wait until the battle is over. How many guard companies do you still have? In this way, each
One squad will be left on the artillery position, and the rest will be mobilized. I will personally direct the attack. I will take care of him after the crisis is resolved."
Hearing Yi Jianping's thoughts, Qiu Jintang smiled bitterly and said: "Political Commissar Yi, except for the security forces of several artillery regiments under my command, except for each regiment having a platoon, the rest have already started on the front line of Balaqirud.
He has already pulled them all away. As for where they were taken, I, the commander-in-chief of the artillery, don’t even know.”
"If I meet your request, not even a single squad will be left in each of my artillery positions. And my nearest artillery position is less than five kilometers away from here. With so many Japanese troops infiltrating, once they are touched by the Japanese
If you go to any artillery position, the losses will be too great."
"Under this situation, except for the company around me that was transferred from your first division to serve as the guard company of the artillery headquarters, I really have no way to transfer any more troops to you. This guy is just letting us here out of pure intention.
Be a spectator or act as a sounding board for him."
Qiu Jintang's answer made Yi Jianping stunned. Even if he was well-mannered, he couldn't help but secretly cursed, "What the hell is this Yang Jicai doing? What on earth is he trying to do? Is this what he wants to do?"
Surrendering to the enemy? But judging from the performance on the battlefield, it doesn’t look like it?
But if he didn't intend to surrender to the enemy, the little devil's bayonet was already stuck under his nose. Why did he still hesitate to move? He also held all the artillerymen, took away most of the artillery guards, and also
Forcibly took over the command of the artillery in disguise.
Although they were very confused now, since they really could not get direct contact with Yang Jicai, Yi Jianping and Qiu Jintang could only stare at each other, but there was nothing they could do. After thinking about it, Yi Jianping decided to draft it himself.
I sent a telegram to Wang Guangyu and explained the situation here to Wang Guangyu. After all, the current situation of the Aru Horqin Banner can affect the whole body.
At the same time, Yang Jicai's request was explained to Wang Guangyu. Wang Guangyu is the highest military commander of the entire Western Manchuria battlefield. If he changes the original deployment, no matter how correct and high-sounding his reasons are, he must still communicate with Wang Guangyu.
Communicate. Because this is Wang Guangyu’s authority.
But Yi Jianping didn't mention whether he suggested removing Yang Jicai from his post. He still wanted to see what this guy wanted to do before making a judgment. Yi Jianping didn't think it was right to make a decision to replace him at this time.
Choice. Especially when you are angry in your heart, you need to calm down in some aspects. At least you need a valid reason that can convince yourself, but you are not at that point yet.
