Having said this, Yang Zhen put down the baton in his hand, looked at the cadres at division level and above below and continued: "Under the current circumstances, this combat summary meeting is held. In addition to adjusting deployment and shifting the entire army to defense. In addition,
One focus of our work is to adjust the organization and reduce the troops with excessive battle losses."
"Except for the front-line security troops in front of Dezhou in the Hebei-Shandong Border Region, all participating troops in the army have entered a five-day rest period. But as I said earlier, this rest period does not mean that the troops will be put into storage and released.
Nanshan does not mean that the entire army has entered a state of relaxation. The military and political leaders of each army must ensure the combat capabilities of the troops during the rest period."
"This time, the headquarters has made great determination to let the troops rest for five days before the battle is completely over. This is to allow the troops who have been fighting continuously for nearly two months to have a certain rest period in terms of physical strength and energy, but
It is definitely not a complete holiday for the troops. This rest and recuperation must be separate from the previous rest and recuperation in the Northeast base area."
"All troops must manage their troops well during the rest and recuperation stage. All troops must be stationed in regiments, and the distance between regiments must not exceed 20 kilometers. During the rest and recuperation stage of each unit, all cadres and soldiers are not allowed to take leave and go out.
. During the rest and recuperation stage of each army, each regiment must ensure that there are no less than one battalion of combat-ready troops on duty."
"Each unit must strictly implement the 24-hour combat readiness duty regulations, and no slack is allowed. During the rest period of the entire unit, the military and political officers of each unit must ensure that at least one person is on duty every day. The military and administrative officers who are not on duty must
You are not allowed to leave the army."
"At the same time, during this rest period of the entire army, each cluster must ensure that it has no less than two complete organic divisions on hand, taking turns to serve as a 24-hour combat readiness unit and used as a mobile emergency force. This combat readiness unit must be fully
The formation rate reaches more than 80%. Once there is an abnormal situation on the front line, the assembly can be completed and set off within six hours."
"Five days, although not a long time, are enough for the reinforcements mobilized by the Japanese army to arrive. This time the headquarters has made such a strong determination to let the troops enter a short-term rest and recuperation, and absolutely does not allow the Japanese army to leave any loopholes.
We cannot let the Japanese army take advantage of our army's rest period and catch us off guard."
"I don't care how you deploy them, I have only one request. The mobile forces of your two major clusters in the east and west must be ready to be called upon, able to fight when they come, and able to win the battle. Whoever needs help during this period of rest and recuperation
Within a few days, if you mess up the troops for me, I will remove anyone from their post. I don’t care what your rank is, I will never tolerate you until the end."
"Especially the East Cluster, which is within easy reach of the heavy Japanese troop cluster in Texas. It is undoubtedly an important task to not only put enough pressure on the enemies of Texas, but also ensure that the troops complete their rest and recuperation to restore their physical strength and energy.
It is something that is easy to do. But it must be done even if it is not easy. This is the requirement of the headquarters.”
"Starting from today, all intelligence must be sent to the headquarters as soon as possible, that is, to me. Especially the East Cluster, the enemy's situation updates must be reported every day. I want to report changes in the enemy's situation down to the squadron level. You are all
I don’t need to stress the importance of whether the intelligence of cadres at division level and above is timely and accurate, and its impact on a battle.”
"Here I'll start with my ugly words. If you want to tell me the same thing about the enemy's situation, and you are screwed by the enemy in front of you, then you can make up your own mind. I don't need you to worry about the strategic intelligence, but the tactical intelligence and your frontal information.
I have to report in detail every day the changes in the enemy situation."
"At the same time, during the rest period, each unit must ensure a good supply of food, let the troops eat hot food, and take a hot bath. The headquarters will supervise the logistics department to deliver the supplies to each unit. But at all levels
Cadres are not allowed to drink. If anyone is caught drinking, they will be dismissed on the spot regardless of how high their position is. Political departments at all levels must conduct detailed inspections."
"During the rest period, all troops must strictly observe military discipline and are not allowed to do anything that violates discipline. The troops must not be a field army when they go to the battlefield, and they are still a field army when they leave the battlefield. All troops must do a good job in preventing espionage.
At the same time, we should maintain close relationships with the people in their respective locations.”
"The three major disciplines and eight points of attention must be emphasized with the troops. The good spirit of our army must be fully displayed in front of the people in Jizhong. There are some issues during the war that I don't want to pursue for the time being. But during these few days of rest,
Within days, if anyone violates mass discipline, he will be dealt with severely."
As soon as Yang Zhengang said that the troops should rest for five days, all the cadres who participated in the meeting were very excited. After more than fifty days of fierce fighting, it was not just the troops below who were exhausted. They, the commanders at all levels, who had to strain their nerves every day
The staff was also extremely tired.
In the continuous fierce fighting, these cadres put in far more effort than the troops below. Most of them slept less than five hours a day on average. Their eyes were as sleepy as rabbits, and their faces were covered with stubble that they didn't even have time to shave.
.Although there is only a five-day rest period at the moment, I can still relax a bit. My nerves have been tense for more than fifty days.
However, Yang Zhen's words about several consecutive dismissals on the spot and severe punishments made these cadres at division level and above tense up again in an instant. After a long time of rest, it turned out that it was just a rest for the troops. According to the request of No. 1
, their nerves will continue to be tense, and they can only sleep peacefully for a few days at most.
Seeing the expressions of the cadres below who were originally excited but suddenly turned a little wilted after listening to what he said, Yang Zhen shook his head. He also knew that not only had the army reached the peak of fatigue, but the efforts of cadres at all levels were even greater.
He is older and more tired. But the more critical moments come to this, the tighter the nerves cannot relax.
They are all cadres at division level and above, responsible for the command of front-line combat troops. The current development of the war situation is far from being completely relaxed, so they must still tighten this nerve. Once this nerve is completely relaxed, it is very likely that
It will bring irreparable consequences.
Facing the commanders at all levels present with some dejected expressions, Yang Zhen said quite seriously: "As the saying goes, weaving baskets is all about closing the mouth. Whether this hole can be closed is related to whether our battle can be successful.
Deciding the victory is related to whether the blood we have paid before was wasted at the last moment."
"I would like to emphasize again that the current temporary calm in the war situation does not mean that everything is fine. Before the last moment, who can guarantee that the Japanese army will abandon Jizhong, the largest food supply base in North China? The Japanese army will abandon Hebei and Pingjin,
This link between the battlefields inside and outside Guan?"
"Here today, I can tell you clearly that I don't care about the current war situation, what kind of situation it is, and how much advantage we have. As long as the war situation does not end completely for one day, we will never let down any vigilance for one day.
.The five days of rest will definitely not allow you to completely relax."
"The Japanese army may mobilize heavy troops to counterattack at any time, and may even use icebreakers to open a channel and mobilize naval ships to land in the Bohai Bay. Even if the Japanese army does not launch landing operations at this time, with the upcoming ice-free period in the Bohai Bay,
At the end of the day, who can guarantee that they will not resort to landing operations?"
"Just like during the Battle of Songhu, when the frontal battlefield was stalemate, they mobilized heavy troops and landed at Jinshanwei on the flanks of the entire Songhu battlefield, and struck a blow hard on our flanks. Don't forget the Japanese navy.
Now that the vitality is still there, he still has the ability to strike us in the Bohai Bay."
"Before the outcome of this battle is finally decided, and before the Japanese army's ability to counterattack is completely eliminated, we must not relax in any way. I cannot allow us to pay such a high price and so much blood in exchange for victory.
Finally, give it back."
"To recover an area, we must thoroughly stabilize it. To recover an area, we must never lose it. I have only one request, either don't do it, or do it well. Because we hold in our hands
It is the lives of hundreds of cadres and soldiers."
"The headquarters has made such a big determination this time to take advantage of the relatively stable period of the war situation to rest for five days to give the troops a good rest. It definitely does not mean that we will completely relax and ignore the war situation. On the battlefield,
It must never happen that a traveler is only half a hundred miles away."
"If anyone can't do it, you can raise it now. Hand over the troops, and I will immediately move you to the rear to have a good rest. But if you don't want to hand over the troops, then let me continue to stress your nerves.
If someone lets me off the hook on a key issue, I may not have other abilities, but I still have the ability to kill Ma Su with tears."
"After you go back, you must complete the adjustment of the organization in the shortest possible time. Compress what should be compressed, and free up what should be organized. I don't care how you do your work when you go back, but each division must at least ensure the integrity of a reinforced regiment.
Organization. Two clusters, at least two full divisions must be used as mobile units."
"Remember, what I want is a fully manned force, not an incomplete shelf force. I would rather temporarily reduce the force establishment, but also ensure that each division has a fist force. As for the freed up shelf troops, and
The vacated cadres were transferred to Zhuozhou in an organized manner, and Laishui received new soldiers and units."
"The central government is coordinating the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the affiliated Jizhong Military Region, Shandong Military Region and the affiliated Bohai Navy Region to mobilize a group of new soldiers for us. At the same time, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has decided to mobilize a group of local armed forces to be organized into our army.
.The Shandong Military Region is also mobilizing new soldiers and transferring local armed forces to us from the Lunan Military Region."
"Although we don't know how many these new soldiers are yet, can they completely make up for the losses of our army in this battle? We can't expect to put them into the battlefield in a short period of time. But troops at all levels must pay attention to it.
, seize the time to conduct training. Each unit can also mobilize a group of new recruits, but it must strictly follow the rules and regulations of the headquarters."
"Political departments at all levels, no matter how many recruits they receive, must do a good job in ideological work to ensure that the recruits' minds do not fluctuate. Although the large-scale escape of recruits in Cangzhou happened for a reason, I don't want it to happen again.
If it happens again, I will speak directly to your military and political leaders."
After Yang Zhen's decisive words fell, all the cadres present at least did not dare to show any expression of dissatisfaction on their faces. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, Yang Zhen had no control over him. For Yang Zhen, right now,
I no longer have that much energy to talk to everyone and find out what they are thinking.
Having said what needed to be said, Yang Zhen dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand. At this time, Yang Zhen did not have the time or thought to retain people. He was not in the mood to let these cadres leave the army for too long. The battle is not over yet, and these cadres
The sooner he goes back, the more at ease he can be.
