What made Yang Zhen even more angry was that he ordered that in towns, especially towns with a certain strategic position and a large population where the Japanese army deployed heavy troops, they must be cautious when launching an offensive and must ask for his orders. The entire
It was thrown into the back of my head.
He launched an offensive against Cangzhou without asking for permission, reducing the historic city of Cangzhou to ruins and causing heavy casualties to the people in the city during the fierce battle. These undoubtedly hindered the local government's efforts to deal with the aftermath.
bring great impact.
Cangzhou is the hometown of martial arts. Almost all people here, regardless of gender, old or young, know some fists and kicks. Although in the face of guns and cannons, martial arts has little use. Compared with the one-hit-kill fighting skills required by real special forces, it is also
It seems too showy. However, the physical fitness and coordination developed through long-term martial arts training are difficult to compare with ordinary recruits.
During the siege of Cangzhou, Yang Zhen personally called the commander and political commissar of the Bohai Sea Region, hoping that they would assist the Anti-Japanese Alliance in recruiting a group of new soldiers in Cangzhou. As a result, after the battle, all the more than 2,000 recruits recruited by Cangzhou ran back.
Cangzhou City was destroyed, and a considerable number of civilians were injured and killed, which had a great impact on the people's hearts. Not to mention Du Kaishan's low-level mistakes in strategic deployment.
The escape of part of the 22nd Division is not something Yang Zhen values or cares about. This cannot be completely avoided on the battlefield, and the escape of multiple regiments will not affect the progress of the entire battle for Yang Zhen.
.But what he values is Du Kaishan's mistakes in tactical deployment, as well as his indecisiveness and avoidance of important matters in strategic actions during this battle.
Du Kaishan is one of the military cadres he values most, and he is also one of the cadres he focuses on training, who can take charge of his own role in strategy. The capable general he trained with all his efforts actually made such a low-level mistake, but it was him
The hardest thing to accept was that it was no wonder that he was so angry.
Although in front of the boss and the commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region who had just arrived from Peiping to coordinate the reception and reorganization of the Jizhong Military Region and the Jizhong Administrative Office, he had always suppressed the anger in his heart. Now as the pressure on him increases,
The bigger it gets, the deeper Yang Zhen's city becomes.
It is no longer the same as before. It is difficult to see the emotions in his heart on his face. No matter how angry he is, at most it will be swept away on his face. But although the expression on Yang Zhen's face is not much, this one
The anger that swept away had faintly revealed the thoughts in his heart.
At least when Yang Zhen pinched the red and blue pencil in his hand after reading the telegram, the two bosses still understood that there must be a problem in a certain direction. But Yang Zhen didn't say it, and the two bosses were also confused.
Shui, I don’t know where his anger comes from when the current situation is so good.
When the two bosses read the telegram sent by Du Kaishan and the subsequent telegrams from the Hebei, Luyu Military Region and Bohai Navy Region, they roughly understood what the problem was. However, the two bosses did not quite understand that the battle in Cangzhou was fought
It was indeed a bit too tragic, and the losses were indeed a bit heavy.
But this should not be the reason for the obvious uncontrollable anger in Yang Zhen's eyes. The first part of the 22nd Division sneaking out of the encirclement and escaping to heaven should not be the reason for him being so angry. Although this is
Young, but always a cadre who takes things lightly, his eyelids are not so superficial.
At present, the entire Jizhong battlefield has been completely recovered. Not only the entire original Jizhong District, but also the entire original Hebei-Shandong Border Area, the southern Hebei District, and most of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan District have been completely recovered and become a stable base area. Even the Shandong base area has been completely recovered.
, and because of this battle, the situation has changed considerably. The various strategic areas in the Shandong base area are now basically connected.
The ground connections between the entire Shandong and even Jiangsu District and other base areas in North China have been opened up. Although the Shanxi battlefield has not yet been finally resolved, the overall situation is basically under control. It can be said that the entire major strategic areas in North China have formed an effective
of the whole.
Although the Anti-Japanese Alliance and other major strategic areas paid a considerable price in this battle, the Shanxi battlefield is still in a stalemate, and it is far from the time to make a final decision. However, judging from the current situation, it can be said that the price has been paid
, but it can be said that the harvest is huge.
In particular, the complete recovery of Peiping, the political and cultural center of North China and the location of the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese invaders, had a huge political impact in the country and completely shattered the rumors in some quarters that the 18th Army was wandering around and not attacking. These even
These were all things that the Central Committee did not even dare to think of when the campaign was launched.
It can be said that the result of this battle has far exceeded the strategic goal originally formulated by the central government, which was to regain the central Hebei District. This not only expanded the base area, but also found a stable material supply base for the two strategic areas in North China.
Problem. The subsequent impact is also quite huge.
Looking at the young cadres in front of me who have slept less than four hours a day on average for more than a month from the beginning of this war to the present. Because they did not get enough rest for a long time, their bodies were extremely thin. It is very clear.
The two bosses of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which had almost always been responsible for the main combat tasks, had to pay a price in this battle. After looking at each other, they were a little confused as to the real reason why Yang Zhen was so angry.
Even if Du Kaishan made a relatively low-level mistake, it wouldn't make him so angry, right? The enemy in Dezhou is already a remnant enemy, and at least in a short period of time, there is no threat to the Jizhong District and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan District.
Du Kaishan only used one force to suppress it, which was not a big mistake. It could be considered a low-level mistake at most.
Seeing the two bosses looking at him with puzzled looks, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "Although he made a mistake in the deployment of tactics, which caused one part of the 22nd Division to escape, I am indeed a little dissatisfied, but this is not
The main reason. No commander can avoid making mistakes in tactics, let alone have no flaws in tactics. Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but I am not so short-sighted because I am so angry with him.
.”
"Cangzhou was reduced to ruins, and the negative impact on people's hearts and politics was only one of the reasons. What I was angry about was that this guy was looking at the wrong place. He was the top military commander on the entire Eastern Front, and this time the Anti-Japanese Alliance invested in Jizhong
More than half of the troops in the war zone are in his hands."
"My requirement for commanders has always been to not just focus on the dish in front of you. As a commander, you must not only look inward, but also outward, and have an overall view in your mind. Indeed,
At present, there are no major incidents in the Jizhong War Zone. The Hebei, Shandong, and Henan areas have also been basically and completely recovered. The most we can do in these two areas is to suppress and hunt down the scattered Japanese and puppet troops."
"But at the moment, the surrounding area is far from ready to go to Nanshan. The battlefield in Hebei has not changed much, and it is not his turn to worry about other directions. But the battlefield in Shandong, right under his nose, is far from dust.
When it’s settled, the entire development of the North China war has now reached the most critical node.”
"Let's not talk about the tactical gains and losses today. Let's look at the entire battle situation at the moment. Except for the southernmost corner of southern Hebei, our army can almost be said to have controlled the entire Hebei. Shanxi's First Army is trapped in Shanxi.
It is no longer possible to leave Taihang eastward. In other words, if the Japanese army wants to retake Hebei, the gains and losses in Shandong are crucial."
"Although Dezhou is only located in western Shandong, it looks relatively peaceful on the surface. But Dezhou is connected to the Central Hebei Plain to the north, overlooks southern Hebei to the west, and is the northwest gateway to Jinan and even Shandong to the south. It is also the choke point of the Jinan-Puzhou Railway.
Whether the Japanese army wants to continue to control Shandong or wants to counterattack Hebei, Dezhou is a battleground for the Japanese army."
"In ancient times, Dezhou was known as the Jiuda Tianqu and the gateway to Shenjing. Its strategic position is even more important now. For the Japanese army, it is the bridgehead for the counterattack on the Hebei battlefield, and it is also a battleground to prevent our Hebei troops from entering the Shandong battlefield.
The gains and losses in Texas are crucial to the next battle, both for our army and the Japanese army."
"Although the Japanese army was also in a tight situation on the Shandong battlefield and needed a large number of mobile troops, it never deployed a single soldier of the Dezhou garrison. After the 22nd Division withdrew to Shandong, it did not wait for any repairs to be made.
His transfer to Texas for garrison is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Texas."
"If we maintain a strong force around Dezhou, the Japanese army will not dare to send a single soldier from Texas to other areas of the Shandong battlefield. Even if Jinan is besieged, the Japanese army will not be able to send even a small team from the Dezhou battlefield. Even if they have
As new reinforcements arrive, Texas will also attract more of their troops."
"In this way, even if we do not enter the Shandong battlefield and only maintain a certain amount of troops around Dezhou, it will be a considerable cooperation for the entire Shandong theater, which can effectively reduce the pressure on our army in the Shandong battlefield. Turn Dezhou into a magnet, Yuanyuan
Continuously attract the strength of the Japanese Twelfth Army in Shandong."
"I haven't included Shandong's position in the current national war situation, because for the Japanese army, as long as they want to maintain control north of the Yangtze River, Shandong must be controlled by them. Once Shandong is lost, the entire
Northern Jiangsu and the Huaihe River are difficult to defend."
"The Shandong battlefield is a very important game, at least on the Sino-Japanese battlefield, especially on the battlefield where we are currently confronting the Japanese army. The gains and losses in Shandong are related to the future of the entire North China, and the ebb and flow of our and the Japanese army's strength. Two of you
Boss, these are linked together."
"Shandong has an important strategic position. The gains and losses of Dezhou, Shandong, are related to the gains and losses of Shandong. These things, as a top frontline commander, he must see. This is also a commander at the strategic level, and he should
The vision and level he possesses.”
"Du Kaishan only deployed one division around Dezhou, and after a continuous battle, the strength of the dissatisfied division was less than 60%. According to the strength of the Japanese troops inside and outside Dezhou City, especially after the remnants of the 22nd Division withdrew,
After arriving in Texas, I can’t say it has no impact at all, but the pressure it brings is quite limited.”
"It can be said that it is simply not enough to attract the Japanese troops around Dezhou to Dezhou, prevent them from being transferred to other battlefields, and it will not bring the necessary pressure on the strategic situation of the Japanese troops in Shandong. In this way, it will
How much coordinating role can he play in the entire Shandong battlefield?"
"Can the operations to recover the Hebei, Shandong and Yu area be entirely undertaken by the troops of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region themselves? The troops of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region do not have this strength. At present, the battlefield of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region can also be a pretty good one for its affiliated troops.
The training environment. When Du Kaishan intervenes in Hebei, Shandong and Yu, is he going to hold armed demonstrations, or is he going to show off?"
"It is not that I disagree with this approach of placing a force in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas to put pressure on the Japanese army, so that they will have scruples in the subsequent deployment of troops, and to use it as a general strategic reserve in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan battlefields. But he will mainly
He focused his energy on the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, but neglected the areas that he should pay most attention to, which I don’t accept very much.”
