The firmness in the boss's tone startled Yang Zhen. The internal troops of the customs were to be reorganized, which had been decided a long time ago. The internal troops were to be retrained, weapons and equipment were to be replaced, team-affiliated artillery and direct artillery were to be formed, tank units were to be formed, and air defense units were to be formed.
Troops, specialized communications troops, this has been planned for a long time.
Otherwise, why else would you plan so painstakingly to extract teeth from the tiger's mouth? At the center of the entire Shanxi battlefield, there are convenient railways and roads connected to the outside world. The Japanese army can mobilize heavy reinforcements at any time under the eyes of the Taiyuan Japanese army to rob the Shanxi-Suiyuan army.
The basis of the arms industry?
Isn't it just for the future, after the customs troops complete the upgrade of weapons and equipment, to reduce their own burden, so that the customs troops can partially meet their own ammunition needs. At least to meet the needs of light weapons and ammunition, to ensure that the customs troops will not appear every time during wartime.
The five-bullet gun dilemma.
After this battle, the Kannai team will go out for training in batches. This is already a certainty, and there is nothing to discuss. But the tone of the boss in the past was not like it is now. When talking about the Kannai team going out for training in the past,
The tone contained expectations for the day when new equipment, new formations, and the entire army would be strong and strong.
But today's tone was one of resentment. It was obvious that the boss was not satisfied with the performance of the remaining troops in the Jinsui Military Region during this period. There was a lack of tacit understanding between the two armies, and even
Due to the conflict between combat concepts and concepts, some estrangements occurred. The boss also had a headache and was quite angry at the same time.
However, although Yang Zhen is also having a headache about this matter, he also knows that the reason why this situation occurred. In addition to the conceptual reasons of the internal troops cooperating with the operation, there is also a large part of the reason that is the planning and preparation of this operation.
There were also some errors in judgment.
When Chen Hanzhang was approved to attack Shanxi, and even the weakness of the Japanese army in North China, he only paid too much attention to the enemy situation in northern Shanxi and Shanxi as a whole. He did not consider much of the actual situation in northern Shanxi and northwest Shanxi, and somewhat underestimated the fact that northern Shanxi is mainly mountainous.
The terrain brings troubles to combat.
The most critical thing is that I also ignored the current situation of the remaining troops after the main force of the Jinsui Military Region was exhausted, and ignored the different training and living environment of the local troops inside and outside the pass. The local troops within the pass are not used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance to ensure the security of the rear.
A local force that provides supplements to the main force and actually serves as the general reserve force.
Like the main force, they have to survive in the cracks of the enemy, and they have to live a life of fighting every day. They even have to bear the heavy burden of staying in the base area to fight with the enemy and defend the base area after the main force jumps out to fight outside. Their survival
The environment, except for fighting in the hometown, is no better than that of the main force.
I also ignored the degree of recovery of the vitality of the Kanai troops after the repeated brutal raids by the Japanese army last year. The number of troops invested on the Western Front was still somewhat insufficient, and their appetite was somewhat larger. As a result, the entire Western Front was now
It's obvious that some of them have been used as a fueling tactic.
If Chen Hanzhang had commanded more troops during the roundabout operations, he could have avoided using the brother troops within the pass to bear the heavy burden as much as possible. They would have been left with a period of time, even if it was only a few days for training. In this way, many
The inconvenience caused by the command is entirely avoidable.
Yang Zhen did not immediately answer the boss's thoughts, but after objectively analyzing the crux of the problem in his mind, he said: "Boss, we also have some imperfections. We know that Shanxi is mainly mountainous. This time
For the battle in northern Shanxi, all the troops deployed were heavy-armed troops. In some aspects and plans, the thinking was not thorough."
"Especially for the progress of the battle, the judgment and prediction were not far-sighted enough. The headquarters authorities did not anticipate the rapid development of the battle situation. I did not expect that the battle on the Guisui front line would progress so smoothly. To be honest, I
The top military commander in this battle also underestimated the determination of the front-line commanders."
"There are also some ill-considered problems in the construction of our troops. There are too many heavily armed troops in the army's establishment. Except for some local armed forces, there are basically no light-armed troops. Especially the lack of equipment suitable for complex terrain conditions
The light-armored troops and mountain combat troops fighting in the mountains. As a result, the mobility in the mountainous areas has actually declined to a certain extent compared with before."
"I only think about solving logistical supplies and the rapid maneuvering of troops. But I ignore that mountainous areas occupy a large part of our country's land area. The load-bearing capacity, as well as road conditions and quality of roads and bridges in most areas of the country are fundamentally important.
It cannot meet the needs of a large number of heavily armed troops."
"Although the army has a certain scale of engineers, it lacks modern equipment. It is difficult to meet the army's existing equipment needs by manual work alone. Logistics and supplies are also too dependent on the number of trucks. In each army, animal power is established
The quantity is still too small.”
"I finally understand now that I and the two old commanders who immediately advanced to the advancing army insisted on the painstaking efforts of turning the advancing army into a light force. The organization of each of our divisions is indeed a bit too large. Not only is it inconvenient in terms of mobility, but also in terms of logistical supplies.
, the reliance on the rear is also too strong. It’s time to change some of our concepts.”
"And our troops are a little too squeamish now. If we leave the car, can't we fight? The road is damaged, can we get out of the car and walk. If we leave the truck, can we not even walk on the road? Short
Without the cooperation of heavy equipment, this battle will not be fought?"
"It is not wrong for the brother troops in Guan Nei to anticipate the worst development direction in advance regarding the development and changes in the form of combat. We cannot only think about the best results. The development and changes of the battle situation cannot always follow our guidelines.
Go. Think more about the difficulties. This is not a fault or shortcoming. If the cadres attached to the unit can think of this, it shows that they are still very discerning and sensible."
"To put it bluntly, the current predicament is not caused by the destruction of roads. It is because the armed forces of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region lacked a unified deployment when they destroyed the roads, and still followed the habit of each unit fighting independently. If a unified deployment is adopted, the damage to the roads will
When dealing with bridges, if some measures are taken, the problems will be much less. Select some key areas for destruction and retain most of the roads to facilitate the passage of our troops, and there will not be so many troubles."
"For example, in a large pit, we use wood to build a light passage so that our cars can pass. Once the war situation deteriorates to the point where it is uncontrollable, the bridge can be dismantled in a short time. This not only ensures the safety of our army
The traffic capacity also partially solved the problem of delaying the speed of the Japanese counterattack when necessary."
"Of course, some fraternal troops feel that the radio is a trouble and burden. They don't like to use it or don't know how to use it. The problem of poor communication in our army during the war has reached the point where it cannot be solved without solving it. However, this problem cannot be solved entirely.
To sum up the guerrilla habits, this is related to the habit developed by our army in independent operations under difficult conditions for a long time."
"Actually, boss, it's not entirely their fault that some of our troops have developed this habit. Without the rules and regulations set by superiors, without the control of superiors, this brain is still its own. Our army's equipment and supply capabilities are destined to make our army unable to fight.
A large-scale war of attrition was launched, and once the Japanese troops swept it away, there was actually no difference between the front and the rear."
"The materials and ammunition allocated by superiors are limited, and the entire army does not have large-scale ammunition replenishment capabilities or systematic material distribution capabilities. Everything must be done by our own troops to have enough food and clothing. The equipment of the troops relies more on military masters.
Only the officers' own abilities can be improved, rather than being uniformly distributed by superiors, which is why this problem arises."
"This is also the reason why our troops can develop and grow in the same guerrilla war behind enemy lines, but cannot persist in some aspects. They are defeated or dispersed, and even surrender to the enemy and become traitors. Self-reliance and hard work are not what we put forward ourselves.
?”
"In a counter-mopping operation, the enemy's situation is changing, the situation is changing, and our army's communication capabilities are also very poor. By the time the enemy's situation is transmitted to the superiors, it may have changed a lot. The superiors are deploying
It is also often difficult to quickly adjust according to the development and changes of the situation.”
"Many times, when orders from superiors arrive, the actual situation is completely different. Without radios, commanders at all levels still have their own brains. They can decide whether to fight or leave. This is why our army
A very important factor in being able to develop and grow behind enemy lines."
"Of course, this will inevitably affect the unified decision-making and plans of superiors. The transmission of enemy information and the decision-making of superiors will also be affected to a certain extent. Even the communication between friendly and neighboring troops has been greatly affected.
Impact. I have read the entire combat report of the Hundred Regiments War. If our entire army could act in a unified manner and the communications and communications were slightly smoother, the results of the battle would have been much greater."
"And the second phase of the battle will not be so difficult. But since our army has limited strength and cannot fight a large-scale war of attrition with the Japanese army, and survival and development are the first priority, this shortcoming is
It’s not that obvious anymore. That’s why I say that for many problems, we can’t all blame them on the frontline commanders.”
"Much of their practical experience was gained with the blood and lives of countless of our soldiers and cadres. On many issues, they insist on their own ideas and judgments, which is nothing to blame. This shows that our commanders,
I am thinking about the problem in my mind. I don’t just follow the instructions, but I don’t act blindly.”
"Of course, without the control of superiors, I can fight as I want. For some commanders, it is more comfortable. I have not violated mass discipline, nor have I surrendered to the enemy and become a traitor. I am still fighting against the Japanese. Your superior
If you don’t give me a shot or a bullet, I will not only persevere, but also develop and strengthen the army. If I do this, you, as a superior, have nothing to say."
"Actually, this problem is not limited to the internal troops. When I was reorganizing the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I had more than one headache because of the excessive guerrilla habits in the troops. In addition, there was no central leadership at the time.
The internal composition of the army is complex, and the internal line struggle of the old anti-resistance alliance is also very difficult. The troops within the army even do not trust each other."
"If the troops I lead are not strong and have certain resources, I am afraid that just one rectification will weaken nearly half of our combat effectiveness. Integrating so many mountains into one is not an easy task. Boss resists
The political work of the alliance is not as outstanding as that of the old Red Army troops."
"After I came to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I felt that their political work was more like the political work of the Soviet army. It was not like the tradition left by the Red Army period like that of the brother troops in Guannei. Without a solid foundation for political work, coupled with the
The estrangements caused by the line struggle will cause more trouble than the current coordinated operations between our two armies."
