Chapter 275 Become a handsome rather than a general
Hearing Yang Zhen give him the combat order, Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi felt a little calmer. Since the commander still asked him to lead the troops in combat, he had no intention of dealing with him harshly and still believed in the two of them. [.Com text
】Otherwise, at such an important time, you would still let the two of you continue to lead the troops in battle?
Seeing the two people who were slightly relieved after hearing his order, Yang Zhen didn't explain too much. He just looked at his watch and said to the two people: "You go to familiarize yourself with the army immediately. It is now six o'clock in the evening.
.At midnight, I want to hear you start on time."
"But one thing you must remember is that you must try to avoid heavy casualties. Compared with the main battlefield this time, in addition to ensuring the safety of the main battlefield, more emphasis is placed on troop training. Let those who have not been on
The new recruits on the battlefield need to familiarize themselves with the atmosphere of the battlefield. In a word, we must not only find ways to destroy the enemy, but we must also pay attention to protecting ourselves."
After Yang Zhen's order was given, the two of them looked at each other and did not dare to delay. After a hurried military salute, they hurriedly followed Yang Zhen's order to get familiar with the troops. Strange troops, strange battlefields, strange opponents
, it can be said to be a great test for both people.
Looking at the background of the two people leaving in a hurry, Yang Zhen shook his head. The two hungry people were already staggering around. They had not eaten for two days, and all their heavy weapons had been lost. In fact, they had no food or ammunition. Apart from relying on the ammunition carried by the soldiers themselves,
In addition, the Japanese brigade, which had no supplies, was a good opportunity for these rookies who had not been on the battlefield to practice and let them know what a real battlefield is.
It is not only the troops that need to be tempered in this battle, but also the cadres. The supplementary regiment formed by Yang Zhen has never had a fixed leader, and is usually randomly selected from battalion-level cadres. This is to allow all cadres to
All have the opportunity and experience to train, command, and manage regiment-level troops in order to prepare for future promotion.
The army is expanding too fast, and the army has gradually shifted from guerrilla warfare to mobile warfare. Cadres at all levels in the army have obviously shown a lack of experience. Now among the commanders of the three brigades and nine regiments of the main force, they are qualified
Less than one-third of the total. There is a serious lack of experience in independent command operations and extremely heavy reliance on superior command during operations.
At the beginning of the year, these regiment commanders were even company commanders. Most of the battalion-level cadres were still just platoon leaders. It took more than half a year to be promoted from company and platoon leaders to regiment- and battalion-level cadres. There was a huge lack of experience and ability.
Although Yang Zhen established a three-level teaching team, not all the experience of leading troops can be learned in the classroom.
And the biggest headache for Yang Zhen is not only the lack of teachers, teaching materials and everything else, but also the cultural quality of the cadres. Many of these cadres cannot read a single word. The ones from the old black top secret camp are even better, no matter what
The three months of hard work have not been in vain. I won’t say whether these people are high-level or not, but they still learned very solid theoretical basic skills.
The theory of the cadres who came out of Lao Heidingzi's secret camp can be said to be barely passable, but those who came from the Anti-Japanese Alliance are far behind. Although in order to train cadres in recent years, the Anti-Japanese Alliance's Third Route Army has tried its best to form a lot of cadres.
Study classes, and training teams. However, due to the heavy casualties in continuous battles, cadres almost died in batches.
Various training teams often had to be terminated due to changes in the environment. There were even several incidents where the training team was attacked by Japanese and puppet troops during the training period, and all the training teams, from instructors to trainees, were sacrificed. The more serious the situation, the more troops
The greater the sacrifice, the greater the decline in the quality of cadres.
There is only one Seventh Army. From last autumn to the beginning of spring, there were almost two changes of grassroots cadres. Except for a few defections, most of them died. The Seventh Army's training team was attacked last winter, and all the students from the teaching captain to all the students died.
, and even gave the Seventh Army a seemingly desperate blow.
Although the number was small, only more than thirty people, these thirty people were almost the entire backbone and essence of the Seventh Army. This battle almost broke the backbone of the Seventh Army. After this battle, the Seventh Army lost almost all its backbone.
Facing the massive advance of the Japanese and puppet troops, the army had no ability to fight back. It could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests and suffer passive attacks.
The situation of the Seventh Army is better than that of the Fifth Army, which has almost lost its main force. From the failure of the Western Expedition to covering the breakout of the Second Route Army headquarters. From the anti-Qing campaign to the southward attraction of the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops, creating opportunities for the transfer of the Second Route Army headquarters.
.The Fifth Army, which hardly fights a day, has suffered huge attrition. The troops have been almost dispersed and depleted, and there is no energy left to train grassroots cadres?
Many people in the two armies are still soldiers who have just joined the army for a few days. There are almost many examples of being promoted to company commanders within a week. Under the severe situation and it is impossible to train these cadres, these cadres
The military and political quality of grassroots cadres can be imagined.
These cadres not only have low cultural level and low military quality. They are also extremely unfit for the training and organizational methods of Yang Zhen's troops. Compared with the large-scale mobile warfare conducted by Yang Zhen's troops, they are more adapted to the original decentralized guerrilla tactics.
Without the winter training at Lao Heidingzi's secret camp, and without the backbone trained at that time, let alone the current size of the army, even if it grew to several thousand people, Yang Zhen would not even be able to find a sufficient number of grassroots personnel.
Cadres. Not to mention the quality of cadres.
Before the central delegation left, when talking to the new leadership team of the Jidong Military Region, Mr. Lin praised Yang Zhen more than once for his long-term vision and foresight. If he hadn't stood up to all the objections, he would have been in the secret camp of Lao Heidingzi.
, it is simply impossible to create the current situation by training soldiers as squad leaders and squad leaders as company and platoon leaders.
However, despite Yang Zhen's painstaking efforts, the situation of cadre shortage has not changed. Not only are the company and platoon cadres who are fighting on the front line the most casualties, but also the cadres at the battalion and regiment level have also experienced shortages after the army expansion, especially
This is due to low quality and lack of experience in leading troops.
In desperation, Yang Zhen formulated such a rule that seems extremely strange to outsiders. Before promotion, all regiment battalion commanders, regiment political commissars, and battalion political instructors must lead the supplementary regiment and the current independent regiment for a period of time.
New recruits must serve for at least one month. Those who fail the assessment will not be promoted.
Although this rule is somewhat puzzling, it at least allows these regiment and battalion commanders to gain a certain level of command and management experience before leaving the army. After all, after they enter the main force, they will be faced with the situation of going to the battlefield at any time. After entering the army
I'm afraid there won't be much time left for them to adapt.
Yang Zhen's rule is very strange, and many outsiders cannot understand it. But at present, it has played a role that many people did not expect. At least it allows these regiment and battalion cadres to adapt to their new situation in the shortest time after they leave the army.
Positions. The leaders of the supplementary regiment and the independent regiment that I have brought in now are two battalion commanders who are ready to be promoted to the chief of staff of the regiment, and the other are two battalion commanders who are ready to be promoted to deputy commanders.
Although these two battalion commanders were both veterans from the secret camp of Lao Heidingzi, they had no experience in commanding operations independently. After an afternoon of not intense fighting, Yang Zhen was exhausted physically and mentally.
Maybe it’s because of the tension of fighting under the direct command of Yang Zhen, the highest commander, or maybe it’s the first time I’m independently commanding a regiment-level battle and I can’t use my hands and feet. In Xiao Huzi’s words, it’s almost a big deal, and he even moves his attack position.
Everyone needs to ask for instructions.
Except for the battalion commander who was transferred from the second brigade, he could help him with half of the things. These trivial things almost exhausted Yang Zhen.
Half of his energy was devoted to dealing with these matters, and he didn't have much time to think about combat matters. If he hadn't cultivated a little bit of self-cultivation, and he was somewhat worried about the commanding abilities of these two men, Yang Zhen
Several times I almost got angry and scolded the group leader on the phone because these two people only bothered him with trivial matters.
Yang Zhen didn't like this method very much when he was fighting. He never constrained his subordinates' thinking, and even encouraged his subordinates to have creative ideas in battle. He hoped that there would be more people like Du Kaishan in his army.
. He had to ask for instructions on such big-ass matters, and the rigid way of reporting made him disgusted. Especially after this battle, he hated it even more.
Now Yang Zhen is very lucky that his opponent is a force that has almost been starved of ammunition and food. Otherwise, not counting other Japanese troops, just the tactical prowess shown by the 22nd Regiment, as long as they can wait for a while
Come on, just one charge can even smash the front line positions commanded by the two inexperienced regimental commanders into pieces.
This time, Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi were transferred back to the headquarters, and they were given separate command. First, they also exercised their commanding abilities in frontal battles. After all, there was a serious shortage of senior commanders in the army.
, these two can't be idle, right? The second one is to relieve some pressure on themselves, at least they don't have to worry about these trivial things.
Sure enough, after the two of them left the army, Yang Zhen's calls for instructions suddenly decreased a lot. Although he has changed his previous behavior and become more cautious, fortunately, the issues of asking for instructions are only classified into some relatively important matters.
Yang Zhen no longer bothers Yang Zhen with all the big shit like before.
With Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi taking over, Yang Zhen, who was suddenly much calmer, focused more on the frontal battlefield of General Shixian. Guo Bingxun would telegraph Yang Zhen every hour about the battle situation of General Shixian.
So Yang Zhen knew the fighting situation there very well.
When he received a telegram from Guo Bingxun asking for instructions on the time to launch a general offensive across the entire front line at 10 midnight, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and only sent a brief reply: "When General Shi Yixiang will launch a general offensive and how to deploy the attacking troops, it will be decided by Staff Guo
The commander and the commanders of each department can decide together."
Guo Bingxun, who was on the front line of Jiangjunshi, received Yang Zhen's call back. He smiled slightly and handed the telegram to Wang Guangyu, Liu Changshun, Wang Ruming, Ma Chunsheng and Ma Qichang who were beside him and circulated it. After everyone read the telegram, Guo Bingxun read it.
After looking at the solemn expressions of several people, he said: "We can make a decision now."
After that, Guo Bingxun took out the Swiss pocket watch that Yang Zhen had given him after he had captured it in Jiamusi. After checking the time, he faced several brigade commanders who were waiting for his orders and said: "It is now ten o'clock sharp. In fifteen minutes,
That is to say, at exactly 10:15, all units launched the final general attack on the remnants of the Japanese army in front of them in accordance with the scheduled combat deployment."
"When each unit launches an attack, they must boldly intersperse according to the predetermined battle plan, and must ensure that the enemy in front of them is surrounded and annihilated. The entire Japanese 40th Regiment in front of them must be wiped out cleanly and thoroughly in the shortest possible time.
Clean. Completely turn around the situation in Xiajiang."
Hearing Guo Bingxun's clean and tidy order, Liu Changshun, Wang Xiaoming, and Ma Chunsheng, who were the main attacking troops, stood at attention and saluted: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured that our Second Brigade will definitely live up to the expectations of the head of the headquarters. We will completely defeat the Fourth Brigade within the scheduled time."
All remaining troops of the 10th Regiment were completely and completely wiped out."
After that, Liu Changshun, the military commander of the Second Brigade, looked at Guo Bingxun and said: "Chief of Staff, time is running out. We are about to go out with the whole army. Do you have anything else to explain?"
Looking at the serious faces of the three military and political officers of the Second Brigade, Guo Bingxun waved his hand and said: "I have nothing to explain. You just need to let go and fight. Don't have too many scruples and be timid."
.As long as you remember what the commander said, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win."
After Guo Bingxun finished speaking, Liu Changshun, his political commissar and chief of staff nodded solemnly. After saluting, they turned around and quickly left Guo Bingxun's headquarters and rushed back to the front line.
Looking at the backs of several people, Guo Bingxun turned his head and looked at Wang Guangyu, who seemed a little disappointed because his unit had been replaced by the Second Brigade. He pointed at his chest and said: "What? Is it because of paying such a high price?
A great fighter was created, but the final recipient felt a little uncomfortable?"
After that, Guo Bingxun looked at Wang Guangyu, who was blushing slightly because he had said what he meant, and said with a smile: "It's normal to feel uncomfortable. If you feel comfortable, then there is a real ghost."
You don't have such a big mind if someone else picks the fruit. I wouldn't have it either."
"But fighting a complex chess game is a whole. Some people are destined to eat meat, and some people are destined to chew bones. If everyone wants to eat meat and not eat bones, then there will be no way to fight this battle. You are in the original
I have served as division commander, political commissar, and deputy army commander in the Second Route Army for many years. I won’t say these things, but you should understand.”
"Be more open-minded and have a long-term vision. Among the three brigade commanders and three military division commanders in the military region, you and Du Kaishan may go the furthest. Although you are only one now
Brigadier, but your vision cannot be limited to the position of brigade commander."
"The difference between a marshal and a general is not only in the words and the size of the power. As a senior commander, you must have a mind that is open to all rivers. The commander asked me to tell you something: Tolerant of all rivers, there is a big one. If you stand on a wall, you will be strong. If you have no desire, you will be strong.
. This is the motto he gave you. And these words today are what the commander asked me to take the time to talk to you. He hopes you can become a handsome man, not a general. The difference between these two words, he hopes you can be good.
Let’s experience it.”
