Although Yang Zhen's seemingly grand immigration plan surprised both Li Yanping and Gao Yumin, they both fell silent when they thought that the reasons he said were not unfounded.
Since the September 18th Incident, the two people who have experienced many years of guerrilla warfare are no strangers to the massacre of people in the anti-alliance guerrilla zones by the Japanese army. They have even experienced it and seen it with their own eyes. [.Com text]
Although it will be very difficult to move all the people in the confrontation area north of the Songhua River to the interior of the base area under the current situation, it is undoubtedly a means of protection for these people. At least these people can be moved
The people were protected from the devastation of war and the massacre by the Japanese army.
If Yang Zhen's plan is really implemented according to his vision, then training these military-age soldiers among the people who moved north does indeed require a capable manpower, and it must be implemented by manpower who have experienced frontal mobile warfare. Only in this way can he know the troops
Based on the advantages and disadvantages in combat, corresponding methods can be adopted to train these potential reserve soldiers.
Yang Zhen was right. Liu Changshun's character was a bit too forward-thinking and lacked flexibility. It was quite suitable to be transferred to the commander of the Production and Construction Corps, which had actually become the largest reserve base in the entire Jidong Military Region.
As for the issue of reserve soldiers mentioned by Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, who was worried that excessive conscription would affect the base area itself, had indeed opposed it before. And his attitude was still very firm, because in his view, it would undoubtedly be killing the goose that lays the egg. Recruiting all men of suitable age in the base area
After the army has lost its main labor force, who will farm the land? If the land is not farmed, what will the army eat based on the people in the land?
Because he was worried that Yang Zhen would over-expand his troops and fish in dry swamps, which would affect the livelihood of the people in the base area. After discussing the troop expansion with Yang Zhen that night, Li Yanping took time to carefully examine the population data of Sanjiang Province of the puppet Manchuria seized in Jiamusi.
.
After concluding that after occupying the areas along the Jiamusi, Huanan, Baoqing, Boli, and Yilan rivers where the main population of Sanjiang Province is concentrated, the population base in the base area has greatly exceeded his expectations. Adding in the original population of the base area, the actual population now
After the controlled population has reached millions, there is no longer any objection to its expansion plan.
In Li Yanping's view, since the population in the base area has increased significantly, as long as the number of conscripts does not exceed a certain bottom line, it should not have much impact on production in the base area. Even if it does, it will
Control within an acceptable range. Therefore, Yang Zhen did not object to the idea of implementing militarized management of the residents who moved north and training reserve personnel.
Looking at Li Yanping who fell silent and raised no objections, Yang Zhen dropped a bigger bomb that even surprised Guo Bingxun: "Political Commissar, there is another important reason why I decided to transfer Liu Changshun to the first division. That is, I want to
Establish a large-scale tactical synthetic training base in the southern area of Fujin."
"In the future, not only all new recruits will have to undergo military training there, but even the expanded troops will have to go there from time to time, organized into brigades and regiments, to conduct tactical combined drill training, as well as infantry and artillery coordination training. If the situation permits, the two
Each column must return there regularly for column-level synthetic training.”
"In addition to these, it also has to undertake the training tasks of teaching teams at all levels. Including the company and platoon cadres who were originally trained by the teaching team of our army, all pre-training cadres must spend one to three months there.
Training. Especially staff officers at all levels must undergo training there and be allowed to take up their posts only after passing the exam."
"In order to improve the technical and tactical level of the troops and allow new recruits to familiarize themselves with Japanese tactics as soon as possible before going to the battlefield, I plan to select those who can serve us from among the Japanese prisoners of war captured in our previous battles and form a brigade-level team.
Japanese tactical detachment. Equipped with a full set of Japanese-style equipment including Japanese military uniforms, specially used as training partners."
"These people are officers and soldiers who have been rigorously trained by the Japanese army. They are very familiar with various tactics of the Japanese army, especially basic infantry and artillery tactics. Using them as whetstones can help our cadres and soldiers before they go to the battlefield.
, we have a real understanding of the enemy and are familiar with the Japanese army’s combat style. Especially for the newly formed troops, it allows them to feel the atmosphere on the battlefield in advance.”
"And while conducting tactical drills with this Japanese army unit, we can find out the Japanese army's tactical weaknesses as comprehensively as possible and formulate targeted cracking tactics so that we can strike more effectively in future operations.
Enemy. To achieve maximum results at minimum cost."
"With this kind of force, we have a lot of combat experience and don't have to go to the battlefield to exchange the lives and blood of soldiers. After all, crossing the river by feeling the stones is not a long-term solution. Form a long-term, effective training system and means,
That’s what we should do most now.”
"The construction of such a comprehensive training base, which is related to the subsequent development of our army, is impossible without a commander who has been tested in actual combat and has rich experience. This is why I insist on transferring Liu Changshun, who has been tested by war and has experience in combined operations.
The main reason why experienced people go to serve as commanders of the first division. In addition to the production and construction corps, the first priority is to establish this comprehensive training base."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the people in front of him who were dumbfounded by his idea, which seemed to them to be a bit whimsical, and continued without caring: "Although I don't want to admit it, there is one thing we have to do.
It is admitted that the combat quality of the Japanese army's grassroots officers, especially their battlefield command capabilities, is still far behind that of our army.
"Only by learning their strengths and correcting our own shortcomings can we eliminate them more effectively at the minimum cost. This is also a first-hand method of learning war in war."
"To be honest, I once wanted to use regular graduates of the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School among the Japanese prisoners of war as the basis for our training teams at all levels, especially the military commander training team and the staff training team that we are currently lacking.
For faculty use.”
"Although I don't want to admit it, the reality tells us that the command capabilities and basic technical and tactical levels of the grassroots officers trained strictly and formally by the Japanese Army through its Army Non-Commissioned Officer School are indeed far higher than those of our teaching team.
Cadres trained in a crash course."
"With the severe shortage of qualified instructors in our teaching teams at all levels, it is a pity to leave these people unused. If we can select some people who are willing to serve us from the captured Japanese officers to serve as instructors in the teaching teams at all levels
, cooperating with this imaginary enemy force composed entirely of original Japanese troops as a whetstone. It can effectively improve the quality of our army in a short period of time."
"It's just that I'm worried that these people are being naughty, not working hard, deliberately distorting the teaching content, and even inciting our students at all levels to rebel, so we haven't implemented it. However, although these people cannot be used directly as instructors, they still compile some basic teaching materials.
OK."
Yang Zhen made this decision not on a whim, but on his true inner thoughts. This idea had already occurred before this battle. The reason why he had this idea was that the army was faced with military instructors from training teams at all levels.
There is a severe shortage, and most of them can only rely on temporarily transferred military officers at all levels to make ends meet.
This is why Yang Zhen can only focus on the training team for cadres at the battalion and regiment levels and the training team for staff members. He puts the training of cadres at other levels in their respective units. Because he really has no energy, he cannot serve as a military and political officer at all levels for a long time.
When you are separated from the army, you have to take care of too much.
Although these instructors who were transferred from the army to improvise are rich in practical experience, their theoretical foundation is extremely lacking. Many of them even learn the most basic homework of a military commander, such as reading a map, under the secret of Lao Heidingzi.
I learned it when I was in the camp.
In the training of grassroots cadres, most of them will only follow the textbooks compiled by Yang Zhen, and at most add their own practice, that is, their own local experience. Many of the students taught in this way are based on the experience of their own teachers.
In leading troops, a unified style cannot be formed. However, under the pressure of reality, it can only be maintained temporarily.
Compared with the cadre training team, which has varying levels of skill, but can still manage to cope regardless of whether it relies on its own experience or follows the script. It itself is a staff training team that selects high school students from the Puppet Manchukuo country who joined the army. Although the starting point is relatively different.
Although the level is much better, there is a serious lack of teachers.
In the staff training team that trains combat staff, which is currently most lacking in the army, Guo Bingxun was almost alone in training instructors and compiling teaching materials at the beginning. Later, after training some talents, the situation improved slightly, although there is still a shortage of teachers.
, but at least someone can help.
Those who train the small number of staff officers in advance have to cope with the heavy and almost overwhelming work in the army due to lack of manpower. On the other hand, they have to do everything possible to find time to change shifts and serve as instructors in the staff training team.
Give lessons to the new juniors who join the team.
Taking care of both ends makes the limited number of staff officers at all levels even more incapacitated. As the army begins to expand on a large scale, staff talents at all levels, which are seriously lacking, have now become Yang Zhen's first choice.
problem.
You must know that the original field army only had three brigades, plus three military divisions, which already stretched the staff candidates. In addition to the candidates allocated to each brigade, Yang Zhen, who is the commander of the military region, and Guo Bingxun, the chief of staff of the military region, are surrounded by
The total number of staff members is less than ten.
And these ten people are responsible for all the staff work such as tactics, surveying and mapping, training, queues, intelligence integration, and even communications, confidentiality, etc. of the entire military region. In normal times, it is okay to say that they can barely cope with it. But in wartime, they are almost busy.
Running around in circles, it often happens that I can’t take care of my head but my feet.
Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun had to personally solve many tactical problems, even the most basic ones. Not only did they waste a lot of valuable time during the war, but they also involved a lot of energy. During the war, the students in the staff training team had no choice but to study on their own according to the tutorials when their fellow instructors were really unable to spare time.
Already stretched for staff candidates, now that the size of the army has quadrupled, there is an even greater shortage of qualified staff officers. The emergency redeployment of some company and platoon officers not only affects the combat effectiveness of the grassroots units, but also affects these personnel who have not received systematic training. Most of the time, he is simply incompetent. He has truly become what later generations would call a blind consultant.
Although Yang Zhen didn't want to admit it, after a battle on the battlefield, Yang Zhen had to admit that although senior Japanese military officers were often known for their recklessness, their junior officers who had undergone formal and strict training were indeed excellent in their basic skills. Not only is he down-to-earth, he also has a strong sense of initiative.
In addition to some high school students who were recruited, a large number of Japanese military officers went through three years of local junior military schools, two years of central junior military schools, and two years of Army Noncommissioned Officer School, a total of more than ten years. Although it is somewhat rigid, it is not suitable for large-scale military expansion in wartime. , but the grassroots officers of the Japanese army who were trained under a strict and almost cruel system can indeed be called first-rate.
If the German staff officers in World War II are the best staff officers of this era, then the Japanese army’s grassroots officers who have experienced more than ten years of professional training can be said to be the best grassroots officers in the world. The most important thing is that these grassroots officers are not As rigid and rigid as the top brass of the Japanese army are, their technical and tactical levels are definitely among the best in the world.
It was precisely with this understanding that Yang Zhen wanted to select some of the Japanese prisoners of war to serve him. At least they could serve as technical and tactical instructors at all levels. It was only because of the situation and safety considerations that he had to have some scruples. .
The establishment of imaginary enemy troops, a common practice among almost all military powers in later generations, was also an idea he had long ago. He organized troops to conduct realistic and rigorous combined training of various arms after battle, and used captured Japanese prisoners of war as sharpeners. In order to improve the technical and tactical level of the troops in the shortest time, and to identify the shortcomings in the training of the troops in the shortest time, it can provide first-hand information for the training, operations, organization and equipment adjustment of the troops. material.
The large-scale comprehensive training base he conceived was modeled after the U.S. Army's Fort Irwin training base and the People's Liberation Army's Baicheng training base. The reason why he chose Fujin was because the terrain there is relatively complex and basically has the characteristics of the Northern Manchuria region. Main terrain. Moreover, the Fujin Fortress built by the Japanese army can be used as an attack training base.
Although the construction of this Fujin Fortress was just started, it was abandoned due to the war. However, the infrastructure has been completed and the various fortifications have been roughly completed. It can be used as a ready-made training ground for troops to train and formulate attack tactics. .
Compared to Li Yanping and Gao Yumin, who were somewhat incomprehensible to Yang Zhen's idea, Guo Bingxun, the only one among them who had studied abroad, was shocked by Yang Zhen's idea, but he understood Yang Zhen's idea after just a brief thought. The true intention of the idea.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Guo Bingxun immediately expressed his support for Yang Zhen's idea of using Japanese prisoners of war to form a confrontational force using original Japanese equipment and tactics to serve as a grindstone in troop training. He even expressed his support for Yang Zhen's idea.
He also expressed support for Yang Zhen's desire to use Japanese prisoners of war to serve as basic instructors for training teams at all levels.
In Guo Bingxun's view, although Yang Zhen's idea seems a bit advanced, it is very suitable for the situation where the army is about to expand. After the army expansion is completed, the organization based on the regiment level will take turns to practice with this Japanese brigade, which can make the new recruits more capable.
Contact the battlefield as early as possible. The newly organized troops can also enter the state as early as possible, which is extremely conducive to the rapid growth of the troops.
