Yang Zhen's statement that he would never participate in local affairs made both Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun stunned. Neither of them thought that Yang Zhen would use this excuse to completely get rid of himself from local affairs.
, handing back the rights granted by the central government.
However, Guo Bingxun didn't think anything about Yang Zhen's decision. But a simple soldier is not too interested in issues other than military affairs. But for the political commissar Li Yanping, it was a bit surprising, and even a bit unpleasant.
Very understanding.
At present, according to the entire industrial development plan in the area, it was Yang Zhen who made the plan, and he also made the planning. Even many of the factory equipment were brought in by him. Just like now, he is seizing the time to make final development preparations and construction.
The oil fields located in Zhaozhou and Anda were built with Yang Zhen's insistence.
Although oil has not yet been produced, after a summer of construction, the project there has basically been completed. The oil wells have been erected, and the transportation pipeline connecting there to the refinery in Hulan, which is being built as soon as possible, has been roughly completed. According to the schedule
The plan is to start test drilling in the spring of next year.
This seemingly crazy plan, together with the introduction and construction of oil drilling equipment, oil smelting equipment, and oil smelting plants, were all carried out under the insistence of Yang Zhen. If it were any other person, it would have been determined long ago.
As an oil-poor country, China has such a difficult financial situation that it simply will not do this.
Now that the drill is about to be tested, it may not be appropriate for him to be the boss at this time. Not only will the commander-in-chief not agree, but even the central government will not agree. Although the Chinese who was the first to arrive at the base area
The founder of geology gave full support, but this is a major event that affects the eyes of the people of the country.
As for Yang Zhen's idea of taking out a car to exchange talks with the Soviet Union, Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun both heard and understood. But as for Yang Zhen's sudden taking out so much equipment to exchange weapons with the Soviet Union, Li Yanping
That's fine, I feel a little distressed at most, but I still understand and support Yang Zhen.
However, Guo Bingxun still can't figure it out. In fact, it's not just that he really can't figure it out, it's more painful. After dealing with the Soviets for such a long time, regarding the character of the Soviets, whether it is Li Yanping or Guo Bingxun,
Both of them are still aware of it.
Just as Yang Zhen said, if you are reluctant to part with a piece of good meat, you cannot trap the hungry bear of the Soviet Union. However, the two people are really unwilling to hand over the supplies that the Anti-Japanese Alliance also needs at the moment, and even more so.
My flesh ached so tight. For Guo Bingxun, almost all of his original plans were disrupted.
In fact, for Guo Bingxun, the chief of staff who is in charge of astronomy, geography, and trivial matters in the middle, how can he not be clear about the actual situation of the artillery? At present, the Anti-Japanese Alliance is indeed adopting various methods, and in
With the assistance of the Soviets, they built what is probably the most powerful artillery force in the country.
However, the performance of the artillery in hand is uneven. Even the production and manufacturing years of some artillery are too old. Not only the performance has lagged behind, but the quality of the artillery also has considerable problems. After the intensive use in this battle last year
, there have been more than one incident of the barrel exploding due to old artillery.
After experiencing high-intensity use last year, the performance and lifespan of these artillery pieces have declined even more this year. Especially those French 75mm field guns made in Poland, their quality is not as good as the original products. In addition, the general production time
, it has been up to 20 years or more, and a considerable part of them are even crudely manufactured products from the First World War, and there are even more problems during use.
Not counting the Polish imitations, even those original French Type 18 Type 75mm field guns, because most of them were emergency products during World War I, have reached the point of being scrapped. The artillery itself is aging, and
Coupled with daily high-intensity training, the rate of scrapping of these artillery pieces has also been accelerated.
Of course, when these artillery accidents occurred, it was not just a problem with the artillery. In many battles of the Anti-Japanese War, the use of exceeding the standard strength was also an important reason. During Yang Jicai's artillery massacre in Aruhorqin Banner, most of the seven
All five field guns fired shells that were nearly twice the standard rate of fire.
As for the remaining 100mm howitzers and 150 howitzers, their firing speeds are generally higher than the standard firing speed. It is a common phenomenon to exceed half of the standard firing speed. An hour's bombardment defeated the main force of the 7th Division, and the headquarters was transferred to
Eighty percent of the artillery shells in the Aruhorqin Banner were fired. Unless the rate of fire of this artillery exceeded the standard by a large margin, it was simply impossible to achieve this and it was impossible to form a dense enough barrage.
This phenomenon is also quite common in other troops. The two Type 41 mountain guns equipped by the Seventh Division fired nearly 86 rounds of artillery shells in just three minutes during a battle. And the Four
A Type 1 mountain cannon, even if it is a newly manufactured cannon, has a maximum rate of fire of no more than ten rounds per minute. Eighty-six rounds are almost equivalent to the two mountain cannons firing nearly fifteen rounds per minute.
This kind of high-intensity use has undoubtedly aggravated the speed of scrapping of second-hand or even third-hand artillery. Many artillery pieces that are already quite old are scrapped. Not to mention old artillery, even newly manufactured artillery cannot withstand it.
Such intense use.
Not only the artillery deployed in the Arukorqin Banner, there have been many cases of artillery casualties caused by the explosion of the barrel. Although the two Type 41 mountain guns of the Seventh Division did not explode, the rifling was almost worn out due to intensive use after the war.
.After all inspections, it was found that there was no repair value and could only be scrapped.
Although the headquarters has repeatedly ordered that when unnecessary, the waste in the use of artillery should be reduced as much as possible, and the intensity of artillery use should be strictly controlled. Because this situation not only means accelerating the rate of artillery scrapping, but also the impact on artillery shells.
It's a huge waste. The Anti-Japanese Alliance's foundation is so weak, let alone artillery, even if the artillery shells are fired like this, it is really too much.
However, many troops still experienced serious waste in the use of artillery. On the Xinjing North battlefield, there was even a Japanese squadron counterattack, that is, two wild mountain artillery batteries, plus 107 rocket launcher batteries, eight
There is one company each of the 2nd mortar and the 120th mortar. One fire coverage can fire thousands of rounds of artillery shells.
During the offensive operations, it often happened that an ordinary fortification group of the Japanese army was used, that is, an artillery battalion or even more artillery units were used. When implementing fire interception, no matter how many troops were dispatched by the reinforcing Japanese army, the multi-layered and intersecting ammunition
Curtain shooting is a fairly common phenomenon.
However, the actual situation on the battlefield makes it impossible for the headquarters to control the use of artillery too strictly, so as not to affect the progress of the battle. After all, the main ground fire support method of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is still artillery. This has resulted in the artillery among the troops, especially the
Division artillery is generally overused and the consumption of artillery shells is increasing.
Under this situation, some of the artillery currently used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, especially the division-owned artillery that is used the most and is also the most frequently used, quite a few have reached the time when they must be replaced. And now on the battlefield, if you want to capture Japanese artillery,
It is also becoming more and more difficult.
Although several Japanese divisions have been completely annihilated in this battle, not many complete artillery pieces have been captured. When the Japanese army loses the battle, all artillery pieces that cannot be carried or have no shells will be used as much as possible.
All were blown up. The quantity seized now is insufficient to meet the needs. If the source cannot be found again, it may affect the army's combat effectiveness in the future.
According to Guo Bingxun's estimation, judging from the intensity of artillery use this year, after this battle, there will be at least fifty 75 mountain field artillery, as well as a considerable number of large-caliber artillery, especially those made in Poland or France.
The field artillery can only exit the equipment sequence.
Even though he knew that Yang Zhen was doing this, it was also a helpless choice because he was currently unable to manufacture body-barrel artillery. Guo Bingxun also knew that you can't have your cake and eat it too. But a thousand American-made trucks, for
Guo Bingxun was still quite reluctant to part with him.
Of these two issues, one is related to the issue of strategic supplies in the next operation. The other is to solve the issue of future fire support for the troops. Both issues are very critical. Solving the one first is a headache. In this case
, we can only treat the headache first. As for the problem of the truck, we can put it aside for the time being.
Moreover, taking out these one thousand American-made trucks is far from being fatal to the current Anti-Japanese Alliance, and it is not impossible to supplement them in the future. But the problem of artillery is related to the fire support of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the next few years of operations.
Question. After thinking about it clearly, although Guo Bingxun did not fully agree, he actually acquiesced.
As for Yang Zhen's words that in the future, apart from military issues, he would no longer interfere in the local construction of the base area and deal with the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain, Guo Bingxun did not pay much attention to it. There were some things that Yang Zhen could not get away with if he wanted to. The Central Committee
It was clearly instructed that in the future, when negotiating with the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain, Yang Zhen's opinions should still be given priority.
This attitude has clearly shown the attitude of the central government. And when it comes to dealing with these cunning Western powers, most people who have no experience in foreign negotiations can only suffer a loss or stare blankly. Guo Bingxun privately talked to Li Yanping
In terms of conversation, when a gentleman is used to deal with gangsters, it is only the gentleman who suffers.
For those Western gangsters who only want to take advantage, only thick-skinned and extremely sinister people like Yang Zhen can truly make the best use of their talents. Otherwise, they will only suffer losses. In this case, the Central Committee and the Northeast Bureau still
It's clear. Yang Zhen wants to get out of it completely, but I'm afraid it's not that simple. He might just be a moon in the mirror and a flower in the water.
The most important thing is that he believes that due to experience and environment, some things, including the commander-in-chief, are still a bit short-sighted. Most of the issues considered are limited to a limited view. In order for the base area to truly have a long-term development
, at least for now, I can’t do without the old man in front of me.
Guo Bingxun, who has spent several years in the industrially developed France, knows clearly that he must have a clear strategic vision in terms of economic development and industrial construction in order to truly promote a major development. And this strategic vision, at least from the current point of view,
, it is none other than Yang Zhen. It is more appropriate for others to do some practical work.
The most critical thing is that Guo Bingxun believes that in the current base area, under the limited economic conditions, the light industry in papermaking, textiles, and even building materials is dominated by the private economy. Heavy industry and issues related to the fundamentals of the national economy and people's livelihood are dominated by the planned economy and public ownership.
The model is quite suitable.
If someone else were to come up with a completely Soviet-style planned economy management model, it would be very detrimental to the economic development of the base area. Although there is not much research on economics, the Soviet Union's all-inclusive, overly rigid and rigid industrial model would
