No. 1 did not agree with his deployment adjustment plan, and repeatedly asked himself to stabilize and pay more attention to local adjustments on the battlefield. Du Kaishan had no choice but to give up the original plan, and at the same time, he continued to appease Ma Chunsheng, who was more impatient on the front line.
A battalion was transferred from a regiment serving as the reserve force for the Cheorwon and Jinhua battlefields and handed over to Ma Chunsheng who was on the front line of Cheorwon.
However, although Du Kaishan did not put any pressure on him, Ma Chunsheng still seemed a little impatient in the face of the delay in breaking the deadlock and the overall battlefield situation with heavy casualties. On March 23, he took several staff officers with him.
When he went to the front line to observe in person, he was hit by cold artillery fire from the Japanese army and died on the spot.
After learning the news of Ma Chunsheng's sacrifice, in order to prevent the sudden sacrifice of the commander from causing uncontrollable chaos on the battlefield, Du Kaishan immediately rushed to Dongmuri to personally take over the command and quickly stabilized the mood of the troops. No
Let the Japanese troops in front of them find an opportunity and report the news of Ma Chunsheng's sacrifice to the headquarters immediately.
Yang Zhen was quite surprised when he received the news of Ma Chunsheng's death. Although there were a few injured, since 1943, with the firepower and tactical level, they have gradually begun to suppress and surpass the Japanese army. The resistance has been going on for nearly two years.
Time has not sacrificed any division-level cadres.
But now, at the last moment when victory is about to come, a division commander of the first-class main division has fallen. Especially the one who died was Ma Chunsheng, who was called one of the best division commanders in the Anti-Japanese Alliance. He was still an old man brought up by himself.
, this undoubtedly made Yang Zhen even more sad.
Recalling the scenes since he first met Ma Chunsheng, especially the conversation between the two in the Jiamusi Jiangbei Mountains, Yang Zhen's heart felt like needles pricking his heart. Although this guy is a bit unruly and has a quite stubborn personality. He once served as a columnist.
When he was acting commander and chief of staff, he was dismissed from his post many times or even demoted due to unauthorized actions.
However, he performed very well in the position of division commander. In a short period of time, he brought a new division to the position of the first main division of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. After being transferred to the 17th division commander, he performed outstandingly at critical moments many times. Originally
After this battle, he planned to transfer him to serve as the deputy chief of staff in charge of training in the military region, replacing Chai Shirong, who was transferred to the commander of the Nenjiang military region, but he did not expect that he would die at the dawn of dawn.
It's just sad that the candidate for this division commander must be implemented as soon as possible. As the commander of the Korean cluster who unified the command of the Korean battlefield, Du Kaishan cannot stay in Tieyuan for too long. But for Du Kaishan's successor candidate, Yang
Zhen was a little hesitant.
Du Kaishan proposed to let Yang Jicai enter the court, and in the telegram, Du Kaishan hoped that Yang Jicai would directly take over as the division commander. Du Kaishan's intention was obvious. Yang Jicai was bold, had many clever ideas, and had many ways to break the deadlock. He transferred Yang Jicai to take over this position.
The division commander will help break the current deadlock on the Cheorwon battlefield.
Originally, before the campaign was launched, Du Kaishan hoped to transfer Yang Jicai to the DPRK to take over the operations director of the Korean cluster, whom he was always dissatisfied with and even privately called an old lady with little feet. However, he was personally named by the boss at that time, and he was bringing a
Yang Jicai, who was organizing a training class for staff officers for the Guan Nei army, couldn't get away from it at all, so he didn't make the trip in the end.
The Central Committee attaches great importance to this training class in order to prepare for the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters in the near future. All personnel are capable personnel drawn from various armies in North China and even the New Fourth Army. Many of them are from major major
Strategic area, battalion-level cadres of the main force.
The boss personally named Yang Jicai to lead this class, and asked Guo Bingxun to personally take charge of the teaching of this class. Even if he was given eight courages to Du Kaishan, he would not dare to poach the boss, so Du Kaishan could only leave disappointed. But in Guo Bingxun's words
For example, Du Kaishan, who has a dog nose, has a very sensitive sense of smell.
At present, the Cheorwon front line has not only been unable to start the war, but has also sacrificed the commander of a main division. Du Kaishan, who was a little angry at the current war situation, after learning that the class had graduated, he simply called the name directly this time.
Dao asked to be transferred. Even ignoring Yang Jicai's shortcomings in qualifications and rank, he was directly named and transferred to take over as the commander of the 17th Division, with full responsibility for commanding the battle on the Cheorwon battlefield.
I just hope that I can take advantage of Yang Jicai's many clever ideas and dare to make decisions on the battlefield. Although his stability is a little less stable, his tactics can be used in a variety of ways. The worse the situation is, the more methods he can use to change the current stalemate on the Cheorwon battlefield as soon as possible.
.The division commander’s sacrifice, although it is still kept strictly confidential, cannot remain secret for a long time.
Once this news spreads, it will inevitably affect morale. Du Kaishan is eager to transfer Yang Jicai to the court, hoping that he can break the deadlock as soon as possible and minimize the impact of Ma Chunsheng's sacrifice. At the same time, he can also achieve the goal of launching the campaign as soon as possible.
At least it can reduce casualties.
After receiving Du Kaishan's telegram, Yang Zhen was obviously embarrassed, although he did not have a suitable candidate at the moment. In the end, he did not agree with the candidate proposed by Du Kaishan. If Du Kaishan transferred Yang Jicai to take over as the leader of a main force group at this time,
, Yang Zhen would give orders without hesitation.
Du Kaishan clearly wants to hand over all the battles on the front line of Tieyuan to his own brother. Yang Zhen, who is familiar with the personalities of Du Kaishan and Yang Jicai, seems to have some concerns in his heart. Whether Yang Jicai has this ability, as the leader and elder brother, Yang Zhen
The earthquake was still very clear.
But what worries Yang Zhen is not only that although Yang Jicai has repeatedly achieved unexpected results when commanding troops, he has no experience in commanding a division. There are also other things.
This also made Yang Zhen have to be cautious.
Moreover, Yang Jicai did have a lot of clever ideas at critical moments, but his younger brother was too good at taking the wrong approach. Although this approach is very suitable for the current stalemate on the Korean battlefield, Du Kaishan probably saw this and named important people.
.But with his character and the fact that he is fighting under Du Kaishan, the two of them might get into trouble if they join forces.
Although Du Kaishan's character has become much calmer after experiencing the North China battlefield and the bench incident, and he is no longer so unscrupulous. However, Rome was not built in a day, and this character was not developed in a day. What is inside his bones?
I'm afraid he himself doesn't even know how much has been changed.
Originally, Ma Chunsheng's 17th Division was assigned to serve as the main offensive, which already worried Yang Zhen. Therefore, the political commissar of the North Korean cluster was adjusted and Huang Yuqing, who was more principled, was sent to take over. Now Du Kaishan named Yang Jicai to go
Taking over as division commanders, these two brave men might get into trouble if they get together.
Although Yang Zhen didn't care much about how these two guys would mess around in North Korea. But at this time, Yang Zhen couldn't tolerate anyone sabotaging his next strategic plan. There is only one opportunity, and once it is completely lost, it is not
The time and investment can be made up for.
At the same time, Yang Zhen was worried about the relationship between the two people. Although on the surface, only a few members of the Standing Committee of the Military Region knew that Yang Jicai was his biological brother. But after all, this matter could not be hidden for long, and he could not keep his
The subordinates thought too simply.
Among these cadres who have been able to fight on the battlefield of blood and fire for so many years and still survive to reach high positions, which one is not a human sperm? I am afraid that there are many cadres who know about their relationship with Yang Jicai at least among the main force. At least Wang Guangyu
, Chen Hanzhang, Du Kaishan and other senior commanders must know this in their hearts.
My younger brother is currently only a regular regimental cadre. Taking over as a division commander all of a sudden does not comply with the regulations on the use of cadres. Although the main force of the current Anti-Japanese Alliance has entered the customs, after all, it is not the time when they just came out of the army and there is a serious shortage of qualified military cadres.
. At this time, promotion over the top can easily cause criticism, and may even be considered nepotism.
Although the overall situation is now decided, this is not a big deal. But Yang Zhen does not want to break his practice of using cadres, let alone encounter any criticism at this time. The overall situation of the war has been decided, the situation has been
After a complete and complete change, I'm afraid some people will start to think about people. No place is a pure land, and wherever there are people, there will be struggles.
Moreover, Yang Jicai has been training staff officers of the customs forces in Northeast China. He does not know the situation in Korea and has never been to Korea. When he takes over the command at this time, he is faced with an unfamiliar battlefield and an equally unfamiliar battle situation.
It would delay important matters. So in his heart, Yang Zhen still focused on promoting a division commander who was familiar with the battle situation on the spot.
In fact, he believes that Sui Changqing, who is currently the deputy commander of the Korean cluster, temporarily takes over the actual command on behalf of the division commander, and it is more appropriate to wait until the end of the Cheorwon battlefield to select a new division commander. But Sui Changqing, who is currently in charge of the entire east coast of Korea, is really a bit
Can't get away.
Looking at Yang Zhen who was hesitating when deciding to adjust the commander of the Seventeenth Division, he also knew that Du Kaishan's important people were receiving telegrams one after another, and he also knew what he was hesitating about. Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "No. 1
, and don’t worry too much. The ancients knew how to promote worthy people and not avoid relatives, are we today not as good as the ancients?"
"Although Yang Jicai is only a full-time regiment cadre at the moment, you, as the elder brother, should know whether he has this ability. I know that the bigger your plate is, the more worries you have. There is no pure land there.
, this is the same even in our army, which has always been non-partisan. But the capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. This is the iron law for our use of cadres."
"As for whether Yang Jicai has this ability, most people still know clearly. Being able to ask Du Kaishan to ask people for help again and again shows that he has a clear understanding of this. And according to your ideas and plans, the current situation on the Korean battlefield is
The situation really cannot be solved by taking a steady approach."
"No. 1, when Yang Jicai is asked to take over as commander of the 17th Division at this time, it is not to pick peaches, let alone to gild the grassroots, but to put him on the fire to roast. It would be better if he goes to Cheorwon to break the deadlock.
, if the situation cannot be changed for a long time, I am afraid that he will be under much greater pressure than you and me."
"If the stalemate cannot be resolved and the Cheorwon and Jinhua lines cannot be taken, we will always be at a disadvantage in the central battlefield of North Korea. No matter what the headquarters' next plan is in North Korea, it will be affected to a certain extent. This point
Both Du Kaishan and the original Ma Chunsheng saw it clearly."
"Otherwise, Lao Ma wouldn't have sacrificed himself on the front line. In addition to his unwillingness to admit defeat and his inability to tolerate his own failure, I'm afraid it's more because of this invisible pressure. Now let Yang Jicai shoulder this burden.
Taking over midway, you can imagine the pressure on him."
"Although only a few members of the Standing Committee of the Military Region know that he is your brother, your identity and experience bring him not only an inspiration, but also more of a pressure, and can even be said to be a
Shadow. If it is done well, it will bring glory to your brother, and others may not say anything. If it is not done well, it will not only affect him."
