Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "As a senior commander, I don't even know what is important or light in my combat area, and which direction is the key point. What do I want him to do? A broad vision and
No, it is the key to determine the final growth trajectory of a commander. He, Du Kaishan, has such a narrow vision and paranoia, how can I give him a heavier burden?"
"Our current opponent is indeed just an army that has begun to decline and may not be able to survive for a few years. Whether the strategic vision is long-term or not, this is not a too critical and urgent matter in a short period of time. It is just the two bosses
, many things need to be accumulated and experienced little by little, and accumulated.”
"But we will have new opponents in the future, and even in the not-too-distant future, our new opponents may be more powerful than the Japanese. As a commander, especially a senior commander, if your vision is not wide enough, you can only focus on
If you focus on the dish inside and don’t consider it comprehensively, you will miss the big deal.”
"Two bosses, if Du Kaishan is a column commander or a division commander, I won't be angry. Because this is their position, their strategic vision will have certain limitations. How high they stand depends on their vision.
How far, this is not an empty talk, it is not that the butt determines the head."
"But Du Kaishan is one of the few military commanders in the Anti-Japanese Alliance who is at the corps level, and can even be said to be at the theater level in Chongqing. He is unqualified to do this. I can accept some tactical mistakes, but as a military commander
The senior commander has a problem with his vision in strategic deployment, so I can't forgive him."
"Indeed, although the Anti-Japanese Alliance has currently established a column level as a management organization, it still uses divisions as the main combat units, and the division level as the basic unit of combined operations. This is more in line with the terrain of most of our country's land, and
The terrain combat characteristics of neighboring countries.”
"The division-level troops have strong combat capabilities, and the entire unit is adaptable and flexible. I think it is more suitable than placing the basis of the combined force at the corps level. Therefore, the column-level we formed is not a combat command organization, but a combat command organization.
The army management organization has not clearly established an organizational structure at the corps level."
"What we are now adopting is a command system that establishes a direction headquarters during wartime and dismantles it immediately after the war. In this way, the army's command structure is flexible and changeable, and its ability to deal with complex situations is greatly enhanced. At the same time, the organization of the army can also be adjusted according to the situation.
Adjustments will be made at any time to developments and changes.”
"That is, the peacetime troop management and training are separated from the wartime command system. In terms of training and equipment, all people are treated equally, and the quality of the troops is as equal as possible. In wartime, divisions are still organized as divisions, and each is equipped with them separately.
Direct the headquarters to fight."
"The original column commanders and political commissars directly became the party committee and organizational members of the headquarters during wartime. If two or more divisions are needed to coordinate operations in a certain direction during wartime, then the military and political commissars of the original columns will be dispatched separately.
The commander is responsible for coordinating and directing operations in this direction."
"The reason for setting up such a combat command model is because I hate the overlapping of agencies in Chongqing. The command system that should be simple in level is instead extremely complicated. I also hate the practice of setting positions based on people. Several people
The faction will set up a few deputy commanders."
"I don't really agree with the Soviet command system. Their system seems to be OK now, but it does not conform to the trend of future military development. Moreover, the Soviet command system is too fixed and rigid in some aspects.
, not enough flexibility.”
"However, the entire command system of the Soviet army still has a lot to offer. The two-line model of command and troop management we are currently establishing is based on the management and command models of the Soviet army, the Japanese army, and the armies of many countries. According to our
It was established based on the nature of this army, our country’s national conditions, and the trajectory of future military development.”
"In wartime, command structures at all levels should be as simple as possible to ensure that government orders are communicated clearly. Although the superiors should try their best not to command the divisions, which would be too restrictive. But they should also not set up too many levels of command. The organization is cumbersome and layer-by-layer.
The layers upon layers have actually led to a lack of focus on one thing and a slow reaction on the battlefield."
"I think the simpler the command level is, the more conducive it is to battlefield command. So although the size of the army has been expanding, it has never set up a corps or a higher level of command. Instead, battlefields are established during wartime
The practice of dispatching a command organization and then canceling it after the war is to reduce the complexity of the command hierarchy and reduce the organizational structure as much as possible."
"However, although this approach reduces unnecessary command levels, I also know that there are some disadvantages in it. That is, the requirements for the average combat quality of the troops, the communication capabilities at all levels, and the military literacy requirements for combat staff.
It is quite high. In particular, the requirements for the independent combat capabilities and strategic vision of commanders at all levels are even higher."
"Two bosses, you are both military masters. I don't need to say some things, you two can see it. Establish an effective combat command and management system, separate the force management organization from the command organization, and control the
Whether an army can obey the will of its superiors is the key to ensuring whether the army can obey the will of its superiors."
"Indeed, this kind of army management system has relatively high requirements on the quality of the troops and the quality of the commanders. The efficiency of the cooperation between the two systems is also higher. But the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. As long as these can be overcome
shortcomings, I want to form a reasonable and efficient system for the future development of our military."
"To avoid bloated command and institutions at all levels and overstaffing. I have thought of this since I was conceiving this management model. In addition to constantly finding ways to improve the various military qualities of the troops, as well as the mentality of the troops
In addition to constant adjustments, we pay special attention to these aspects in the training of senior cadres."
"As for their strategic vision, my request has always been to take one step and look three steps. I constantly remind them that they must have an overall view on the battlefield. Don't just focus on the dish in front of you. No matter which aspect,
We must consider the overall situation as much as possible.”
"The battlefield is like a chess game. If you don't have a far-sighted vision, you cannot grasp the real strategic initiative. As a senior commander, if you have not developed the ability to fight independently, if you rely on the determination and deployment of your superiors in order to fight, then our team will
The tragedy of the army. Such an army can only passively defend and will never be able to engage in offensive operations."
"Although Du Kaishan has not held the position of commander of the corps, he is actually the only one of the five first-level commanders of the corps responsible for strategic direction in the Anti-Japanese Alliance at the moment. His vision is so narrow and the distance of his sight is so short, he still
I think I need to reconsider whether they can shoulder the responsibilities and burdens assigned to them by their superiors."
After Yang Zhen's words fell, the two bosses understood why he was so angry. They also realized that while Yang Zhen valued the commander's ability, he also valued the commander's vision and whether he could assume the responsibility of strategic direction command.
.He cares most about his subordinates and his overall analysis and judgment of the war situation and future direction.
That is to say, whether a senior military commander can firmly grasp the pulse of changes in the battle situation based on the changes and developments on the battlefield, and have a corresponding overall view. Instead of being obsessed with a single battlefield, whether certain judgments have occurred
His anger was caused by his love for his strategic focus in the wrong direction during the subsequent battles.
To be honest, I still like this boss Du Kaishan very much. He is bold, has many ideas, and his efficiency and speed in accepting new tactics are also outstanding. He seems to have a lot of momentum, and he dares to fight and fight. All senior members of the Anti-League
The commanders and bosses liked Chen Hanzhang and Du Kaishan the most.
Observing this battle, except for some minor problems that occurred during this period, the overall battle command was quite good. There are naturally some small flaws, but in terms of grasping the overall situation, the mechanization
In terms of combined combat command, it is quite outstanding.
Whether it was interspersing, dividing, encircling, or long-distance attacks, defensive operations, a series of tactical movements to clamp down and fight all the way, the fighting was quite outstanding. Especially the use of tanks and mechanization was quite brilliant, without any sloppiness.
When it's time to be decisive, there is never a time to be soft-hearted.
Cangzhou did not complete the encirclement of the 22nd Division. In addition to being careless, Cangzhou's special terrain is also one of the main reasons. There are saline-alkali lands everywhere in Cangzhou, and there is basically no frozen soil layer in winter. Tanks are everywhere when they are crushed.
It was a quagmire, and it also restricted the movement of the mechanized troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The Japanese army's light infantry has a very strong marching ability, and has adopted corresponding tactics. It cannot be said that Du Kaishan is entirely responsible for letting part of the 22nd Division escape. After all, the unique terrain characteristics here, Du Kaishan
He is still very unfamiliar with it. He has not fully understood the saline-alkali land that is not suitable for tanks and mechanized troops to move. If there is any problem, it is not his intention.
As for Dezhou, although the remnants of the 22nd Division arrived in Dezhou, a division with reinforcements also entered the city of Dezhou. However, one of the two divisions was damaged in the air raid and was unable to fight in a short period of time without repairs.
.One third of the force has been lost, and it is no longer able to undertake any large-scale combat operations.
Even if these two divisions have withdrawn into Texas, they are just trapped in an isolated city. Even if some of the original troops are added, the total strength is only one division at most. And around them, except for a few anti-alliance forces
In addition to the division, there are also the main force of the Bohai Navy Region and the First Division of the Shandong Military Region.
The Japanese army lost so many troops in this battle that it would be difficult to gather enough troops on any single battlefield. If the anti-alliance troops heading south did not take the initiative to attack, the Japanese troops in Dezhou City would have been thankful to God. How could they dare to take the initiative?
Attack? Unless the Japanese army can find a considerable amount of reinforcements in the shortest possible time. In fact, the entire Texas battlefield will be basically peaceful in a short period of time.
At the same time, there are currently no large Japanese troops in the Hebei, Shandong and Yu regions, and the remaining small number of Japanese and puppet troops cannot compete with such a large force. If the Hebei, Shandong and Yu regions can be completely recovered as soon as possible, then in the face of the Japanese counterattack,
At least the defensive depth in the center line will be much greater.
It can also be integrated with the battlefield in the Hebei-Shandong border area. If most of the areas in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan region can be recovered in a short period of time, there will be no harm. In addition, they are all mechanized troops and can move quickly.
Capture the entire Hebei, Shandong and Henan region in the shortest possible time.
It is estimated that it was due to these considerations that Du Kaishan dared to use one division to suppress, no, it should be a demonstration to Dezhou, forcing the Japanese troops in Dezhou to close the city and not dare to leave the city to fight, so as to gain a certain amount of time and solve their worries in other directions first.
.Make strategic preparations to meet a possible comprehensive counterattack by the Japanese army.
