When he said this, although it was about Du Kaishan's next work arrangements, Yang Zhen did not look at Du Kaishan. His eyes were always on the co-pilot's seat, nervously holding the weapon in his hand, and kept thinking
He was observing Zhang Zixiong outside the car window. It was as if he was speaking to Zhang Zixiong instead of explaining his work to Du Kaishan.
After saying this, Yang Zhen was silent for a while. But then he said firmly: "This is the last chance I give you, and it is also the last time I tolerate you. If you act without regard to the overall situation, what will happen to you?
I don’t need to say more about how I will deal with you. I will only tell you one thing today, that is, never take the easy way out.”
"You are capable, and among the senior commanders of the Anti-League, your ability is definitely among the top three. But no matter how capable a person is, if he cannot obey the overall needs, I will not use him. The Anti-League does not need to be invisible in my eyes.
A commander who only cares about the interests of the overall situation and his own happiness."
"Don't say that you are a commander of the front army now, even a platoon leader. No matter how capable this person is, I will never want him. This anti-landing operation is crucial to our next operation.
, it is impossible for me to hand over such an important battlefield to someone who does not have an overall concept in mind."
"This anti-landing operation is also the most uncertain deployment I have made in recent years. It is also the only time it is difficult to accurately judge the enemy's strength and main attack direction before the battle begins. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for me to
Such an important direction is given to a person who can't hold his breath."
"We do not have a navy, and we cannot say that we have no maritime reconnaissance force, but it is also quite weak. There are only a few aircraft with long-range reconnaissance capabilities in the entire army. It is even possible that the Japanese landing fleet will hit our doorstep. We
Only then can we discover it. In this anti-landing operation, we are quite passive."
"Although the Bohai Navy Region has mobilized some troops who are familiar with the sea conditions, and is selecting and training manpower, and purchasing some fishing boats. They are preparing to carry radio stations out to sea to serve as warnings after the Bohai Bay freezes. The Shandong Military Region also ordered the Jiaodong Military Region to send
People secretly entered the waters of Miaodao Islands to monitor the Bohai Strait."
"But whether these means can be effective, at least for now, is still open to question. The main waterways in the Bohai Strait are all under the close surveillance of the Japanese navy in Port Arthur. Japanese troops are also stationed on quite a few islands in the Miaodao Islands.
Under this situation, it is difficult to guarantee how much valuable information can be obtained."
"And if the Japanese army really has the idea of landing from the Bohai Bay, they will not follow our baton. They will land at any time they think they need and at a place they think is suitable. So can you be patient on the Jinpu Line?
Doing it with patience is crucial to our anti-landing operations. And the future battlefield east of Jinpu Road is the lifeblood of our entire army."
"Once there is danger in this direction, our troops of more than a dozen divisions at the front will be attacked from both sides, and our entire battlefield will be divided into two parts. Even the newly recovered Pingjin-Tianjin line will be in an extremely dangerous situation. Also
That is to say, once there is a problem with the right wing, the entire North China battlefield is in danger of collapse."
"This requires that the commander in this direction must be calm and patient. The most important thing is to have the ability to both attack and defend. No matter what abnormalities occur in other directions, no matter whether the Japanese army is there or not,
Landing in the Bohai Bay must be as firmly nailed to one's own theater as a nail to guard the flanks of the entire Hebei theater."
"Don't be in a hurry to answer me, what would you do if I asked you to go to Jinpu Road? What you need to do now is to think carefully about whether you can really fulfill these requirements. I am not in a hurry to get your answer.
After I get to Chen Hanzhang, I'll talk to you."
"Lao Du, no matter what you think. But one thing I can tell is that the entire Bohai Bay operation is crucial to our entire battlefield. If you agree but fail to do it, it will affect the development of the entire war situation. When the time comes,
Even if I can't do without you, I can't save your head. If you can't do it, bring it up as soon as possible. Don't let your mistakes affect the outcome of this battle."
After Yang Zhen's words, Du Kaishan fell silent. Although No. 1's tone suggested that he was discussing with himself, he knew that this was the last chance No. 1 gave him. If he chose to give up, No. 1 could not say anything.
, but he is also destined to be abandoned. If he wants to go to the battlefield and lead troops to fight in the future, I am afraid he will not have this opportunity.
As a soldier, No. 1 does not like the kind of subordinates who dare not accept challenges. As a commander, No. 1 does not like the kind of cadres who shy away from the important and dare not shoulder the burden. If there is that cadre who touches these two
Points, especially the second point and military cadres, he would give up without hesitation.
If he chooses to accept it, then once he makes the same old habit again, he may not even have the chance to wear his military uniform again. Du Kaishan knows very well what will happen to the entire Bohai Bay front line once the Japanese army counterattacks? That is the entire Hebei
The right wing of the battlefield, and the right wing without any barriers.
Even though the Bohai Bay is close to the sea, for an army with a strong navy, the sea is not enough to be an obstacle. Whether it was the Second Opium Battlefield during the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Eight Kingdoms during the Gengzi Incident
When the coalition forces entered Beijing, they all landed by sea.
The whole of China has a history of defenselessness, so China's thousands of kilometers of coastline have never been a natural barrier against foreign enemies. Instead, they have become a barrier without a door. The enemy can come whenever they want and land wherever they want.
A convenient way to log in from any location.
Even at the beginning of the July 7th Incident, the Japanese army also mobilized a large number of troops by sea from the Tanggu Port under their control in a short period of time. Du Kaishan, who was forced by No. 1 to study the history of naval landing warfare in the past few days, knew very well that for a
For a country without strong coastal defense, when facing an army with a powerful navy, the sea cannot become a natural barrier.
The entire coast of the Bohai Bay is in a plain area. Once the Japanese army breaks through the Jinpu Road, it can threaten the Pingjin area to the north and cut off the direct connection between the Hebei battlefield and the outside world. To the west, it can form a flank for the entire Hebei battlefield.
A deadly threat. With such a good prospect, the Japanese army will never stop thinking in this direction.
Although the newly cultivated sea water is still very cold, it does not mean that the Japanese army will wait honestly for the sea water to heat up enough to take a sea bath. When the Japanese army landed at Jinshanwei during the Battle of Songhu, it was already November in Shanghai.
The sea water temperature in Jinshanwei is also not that warm.
If the Japanese army really lands, Du Kaishan will not have any fear. For him, he is only afraid that the Japanese army will not come, but not how many Japanese troops will come. But as No. 1 said, no one can guarantee that the Japanese army will not come.
will land in the Bohai Bay. After all, the overall war situation is already different from that at the beginning of the July 7th Incident, and the Japanese Navy does not have the strength it did back then.
It is difficult to judge whether the current Japanese army still has the ability or the confidence to carry out large-scale amphibious landing operations. Although the Japanese often convulse and love dogs to jump over walls, it does not mean that they will dare to do so at the moment.
Do it at all costs.
For an island country like Japan, the navy and the army are of different importance. Even if all the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Chinese battlefield are lost, as long as the main force of the navy is still there, the enemy will not be able to land on the Japanese mainland. But if the navy's losses are too large, then
For the Japanese, it weakens their shield.
The current Anti-Japanese Alliance does not have a navy. Apart from the few old-fashioned shallow-water gunboats on the Songhua River that captured the puppet Manchuria Army, there is not even a speedboat or even a sailboat classified as military. But the Anti-Japanese Alliance has
It has a large-scale and powerful tactical air force.
Although there is a lack of weapons of mass destruction such as torpedoes, there are only a few mines. The mines made by the Anti-Japanese Alliance are still copied in the Northeast arsenal. The only weapons that can be used for anti-ship are ordinary aviation high-explosive bombs and
Rockets. At the same time, it lacks experience in anti-ship warfare, so it does not pose a great threat to the Japanese Navy.
In Du Kaishan's view, the previous anti-ship air combat was somewhat of a fluke. If the Japanese army had prepared in advance, would they have achieved such results? Du Kaishan was quite doubtful about this. But no matter what,
, based on the last battle example, the Japanese must have some taboos when conducting landing operations.
Perhaps facing the aggressive posture of the U.S. Navy, the Japanese are really reluctant to use a large number of ships to conduct a landing operation on the newly civilized coast of North China. As No. 1 said, perhaps the deployment on Jinpu Road
, can only be a helpless passive wait.
But regardless of whether the Japanese come or not, in the second phase of the operation, it is necessary to prepare for anti-landing operations. Even this preparation for anti-landing operations is just a waste of troops and will not wait for those who want to wait. But this
Preparations for anti-landing operations are also necessary.
It's just that if the Japanese army really didn't conduct a landing operation, where would they leave the Anti-Alliance deployment? Or just like the Battle of Songhu, they would only carry out a large-scale landing operation at the last moment. Then they could really hold their breath and watch.
The fighting in other directions is in full swing, but there is no change in your mind?
Thinking of this, Du Kaishan felt a little confused, or suddenly lost confidence. He listened to the noise of the No. 1 Gas M-1 car engine that had become somewhat worn out after several years of intensive use. On the surface, it was
He is as stable as a mountain, but in fact he is constantly asking himself in his heart.
Seeing Du Kaishan's face turn red and white, and even a hint of iron blue, Yang Zhen smiled and said nothing. Du Kaishan had to figure these problems out on his own, and no one else could help him.
Busy. Only when he figures it out himself, will he be like a nail nailing the position he needs, instead of always wanting to reach out and grab a handful.
Yang Zhen did not ask further questions, and Du Kaishan, who was distracted, did not answer him immediately. When he went to Nangong to rest on the way, Yang Zhen even kicked Du Kaishan away from his car and back to his own car.
On the jeep, let him think it over carefully.
This time from Xingtai to Jingxian, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry, but stopped and stopped along the way. From southern Hebei to the border of Hebei and Shandong, Yang Zhen looked at the terrain very carefully. Especially the
Yang Zhen looked at the confrontation area between the two armies very carefully. Just like when he went from Hejian to Xingtai, he took the Ping-Han Railway specifically to look at the terrain carefully.
Although before the entire line was transferred to defense, he immediately dispatched surveying and mapping staff, traveled throughout southern Hebei and the Hebei-Shandong border, and rechecked the map. But many times, Yang Zhen was still determined to see it with his own eyes. Although
He does not interfere with the specific deployment below, but for him, he still needs to have a detailed grasp of the terrain of the entire combat area as much as possible.
