The leader's categorical words made Li Yanping, who was still immersed in excitement when he met the central leadership for the first time, slightly stunned and said: "Chairman, these equipments are specially allocated from reserves by the military region to re-equip the Central Guard Corps. This is
I must implement the decision of the Military Region Standing Committee. [.Com text]"
The chairman waved his hand and said: "You are fighting without a rear, facing hundreds of thousands of Japanese Kwantung Army. The situation is much worse than inside the Kwantung. We are in the rear and are very safe. We can't ask for these equipments. You can transport them all back."
.This much ammunition is enough to fight two battles on the Xiangjiang River during the Long March."
After saying that, he turned to the leader of the guard regiment beside him and the political commissar said: "You are not allowed to ask for a single gun or a bullet from these weapons. Return them all. If you want good equipment, go to the battlefield and seize it yourself. If any of you dare to ask for it,
I will punish you."
Hearing the determination in the Chairman's Hunan accent and seeing the reluctance of the guard leader, Li Yanping quickly persuaded him: "Chairman, we now have an arsenal that can produce a large number of weapons and ammunition by ourselves. Especially light weapons, the quantity is sufficient.
The production capacity is enough for us to use, and we can even reach a certain reserve."
"Recently, we purchased a large number of second-hand weapons and equipment from Jiangbei that were seized in the Polish military operation last year. The quantity of only 79 bullets is enough for us to use for several years. Moreover, these Czech-made weapons are not our standard equipment. What we have in our hands
The quantity is not large, and we do not need to specially manufacture parts for them. For us, these Czech-style equipment are good, but they are not large-scale and of little use."
"These equipment are of little use in our hands, but they are widely used within the customs and the ammunition calibers are also common. We originally chose these Czech-made equipment for the sake of versatility. As for the American-made Thompson portable machine guns, the same is true
That’s right. We don’t produce .45 bullets for this kind of portable machine gun at all now. Once the ammunition in stock is used up, it becomes scrap metal.”
"The central government is in the rear area and has land transportation links with other parts of the country. It is also easy to supplement. We also make those 763 portable machine guns ourselves, and the output is large, about a thousand per month.
It is enough for us. Chairman and the Central Committee, please rest assured that we will never do anything to make others look fat."
"These equipment will be more useful if they stay in the central government. Northern Shaanxi is only separated from the Japanese-occupied area by a river, and the equipment of the Central Guard Corps and the remaining troops are too worn out. They are all old sleeves, made in Hanyang, and used in Liaoning.
Old guns of the 13th category, or old-fashioned shell guns. How can these weapons ensure the security of the central government? Since these equipment have been transported to Yan'an, let's keep them all."
Having said this, Li Yanping thought for a while and said: "Chairman, our equipment is really sufficient and we are capable of providing the central government with some urgently needed equipment. This time I brought a photo taken by Soviet comrades during our last battle.
This is a documentary. After the central leaders watch it, they will understand us."
Hearing that Yang Zhen had also filmed a battlefield documentary, the leader felt very excited. He quickly asked people to prepare the venue, and after dinner, all the leaders in Yan'an were summoned. When watching, Li Yanping was specially arranged to be there.
Keep it by your side so that you can explain it to yourself while watching it.
After watching a real battlefield documentary, almost all central leaders, especially the main leaders from the major forces, felt extremely shocked. At the same time, they also realized what modern warfare is. But the leaders also changed from being enthusiastic to
Very silent.
After the meeting, after the leaders with different intentions left, the leader left behind the chief and deputy commander-in-chief, the chief and deputy division commanders of the three main divisions in Yan'an and other major military cadres returned to their residences for a meeting. After the guards had finished serving tea, they left.
, the leader glanced at the people present and said: "You are the main military cadres in the party, and you are also proven old comrades."
"How do you feel about this battlefield documentary they broadcast? I heard Li Yanping tell me that in order to make this battlefield documentary, the Soviet Union sacrificed several film workers. He assured me that everything in it is
It's real, and most of it was shot on the main battlefield. I've brought you here to ask about your experience of this method of combat."
The commander-in-chief nodded when he heard this, but then shook his head and said: "Chairman, we don't know how to fight this kind of combat, and we can't afford it. They have nine light machine guns in a company and six heavy machine guns in the battalion.
There are one company each of light and heavy mortars, infantry artillery, and rapid-fire artillery, and the brigade has a twelve-gun mountain field artillery battalion. The firepower of one of their brigade is greater than the total firepower of the three divisions before we went to the anti-Japanese battlefield.
"
"This does not include the direct artillery they have in their hands, especially the new twelve-gun rapid-fire artillery. I think one gun is enough to top a mountain artillery battalion. I heard that Li Yanping mention that they started the group in the spring last year.
From the beginning of the Ceshan Campaign to the end of the Autumn Campaign, more than 100,000 rounds of mountain artillery shells were consumed within one year."
"By the end of the autumn campaign, almost all reserve artillery shells had been consumed. This does not include the tens of thousands of wild mountain artillery shells captured and mortar shells consumed in previous battles. Chairman, in this combat mode, it does not take more than two days to fight.
All ammunition reserves in our army have been exhausted."
"If our regiment had a mortar, it would be the main force among the main forces. The firepower configuration of their regiment can catch up with one of our divisions. The entire 18th Group Army only has one mortar picked up in Shanxi Province.
The twelve 75-year-old mountain cannons made in Jin Dynasty abandoned by the Jinsui Army only had a few rounds, and firing one round required approval from the headquarters."
"I took a look at their self-made submachine guns, which are what we call portable machine guns. Their structures are simple and lighter than the flower machine guns and Thompson portable machine guns we captured from the Kuomintang army during the civil war. Their performance and quality are also better than those in China.
Replica floral machine gun.”
"Although we have established a number of arsenals, we can also produce small quantities of light weapons. But our light weapons are incomparable with others. The raw materials are all rail steel, which is not strong enough and the firing pin is easy to break. Those grenades are still made of black
Gunpowder and cast iron are used as raw materials, and many of them are fried in half."
"With the huge gap in weapons and equipment, coupled with the constant shortage of ammunition, we should not think about this kind of battle. Moreover, judging from the extent of our current training, even if we have their equipment, we will not be able to fight such a battle.
In training, each of our recruits can only fire one or two shots to familiarize themselves with the performance of the gun. Because of the lack of ammunition, most recruits can only gain combat experience on the battlefield."
"As for the use of artillery, most of the troops are almost blank. Their radio stations can be strengthened to the battalion level during wartime, and there are wired telephones below the battalion. None of our main regiments have a radio station. Even some rear
None of the military divisions formed have radio stations."
"The basic number of training ammunition for one of their soldiers is 200 rounds. We cannot afford such a price. Insufficient basic training and lack of communication means make it difficult for us to fight a battle of this scale even if we have their equipment.
, we can’t do it within a year.”
"Chairman, their infantry and artillery coordination tactics, artillery's barrage shooting technology, construction of field fortifications, and allocation of machine gun firepower are all things we cannot do now no matter what. Even the most elite German weapons troops in the country can't compete with them.
In comparison, it’s a bit worse.”
Having said this, the commander-in-chief shook his head and said: "I really can't figure out how they developed in such a difficult environment. Although Northern Manchuria is rich in products, it has a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and a weak foundation. It is also located in the middle of Japan.
The Manchu-Soviet border area was mainly controlled by the puppet army."
"And they have not only established a powerful army, but also established an arsenal of such a large scale. They can produce high-quality weapons and ammunition. Even with the support of the fraternal parties, it is possible to develop to this extent in such a short period of time.
The large scale is a miracle."
After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, Commander Liu of the 129th Division over there also nodded and said: "Let's not talk about the equipment gap, just in terms of combat skills, the gap between us and them is too big. I studied in the Soviet Union,
Their infantry skirmish line can closely follow the artillery barrage attack, and I'm afraid the Soviet army cannot meet this standard."
"In the documentary just now, I focused on their artillery. In addition to the reasonable number and configuration of artillery, what I saw more was their artillery technology. The transition time of their artillery from marching to combat status, and the layout of artillery positions.
, are all quite high-level. Except for the single-cannon shooting accuracy which is slightly worse, the technical and tactical skills of its artillery have already surpassed the level of the Soviet army."
"And these are simply impossible to do without rigorous training. Judging from their development time, the only reason why their artillery can do this is that their training intensity is probably extremely high, and in
The consumption of ammunition during training will also be huge. Of course, this does not rule out that they will also learn a lot of experience in battle."
"From now on, apart from the fact that the number of direct artillery units is not as good as that of the Japanese army, and there are no aviation or armored units, its weapons and equipment have reached the standards of the Japanese army's front-line field divisions. And the combat quality, although it is not as good as that of the Japanese army's old standing divisions,
There is some gap, but it is not big anymore. Compared with the newly formed divisions of the Japanese army, its combat quality can be said to be on the same level."
"People are so infuriating. They have been struggling in Northern Manchuria for a year and a half, and they have turned from beggars to rich men. We are still the same. When I went out to fight, my 129th Division had nearly 10,000 people with infantry and carbine, and only four of them combined.
A little more than a thousand, these weapons are divided into four or five calibers."
"There are imitation 38s made in Jin, and Hanyang made in China, with old sleeves and bullets that cannot be used with each other. There are still more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition, and the average is less than ten rounds per gun. The bayonets are shabby and have been moved eastward.
There are only five or five of them in the West. On average, there is only one bayonet for every one hundred and seventy guns. The total number of light and heavy machine guns is just over a hundred, and there are only six mortars in total."
"Although Yan Laoxi passed by Shanxi during the expedition and replenished some and several 15-watt radios, and the headquarters also allocated dozens of Soviet-made light machine guns, these are as complete as other mountain cannons, and light and heavy mortars are still not enough.
For example, if we had half the equipment they have, there would be no need for some people to always say that we swim without attacking."
"Even now the army has grown to tens of thousands, but the combined firepower cannot match that of one of their regiments. Look at their full set of Japanese equipment. Chairman, I am embarrassing you. As a division commander,
In terms of environment and the foundation of the army, they are much better than them."
"Our current army is developed with three main divisions as the backbone. These backbones are all old Red Army soldiers who have experienced the Long March, and their foundation is much better than them. Although they operate behind enemy lines, their mass base is also much better.
, especially the population base is much larger than theirs. But after a few years, most of us old-timers are far less successful than the company commander I had at the time."
Commander Liu's words are quite self-deprecating, but they are also true. The original equipment of the troops is insufficient, and coupled with the large-scale expansion behind enemy lines, equipment and ammunition are extremely scarce. If you want to fight such a battle, I am afraid that three people will
The old foundation of the teacher has been wiped out. Even if it is wiped out, it cannot be defeated.
In response to Commander Liu's self-deprecation, the leader waved his hand and said: "You really can't compare with this. As soon as they came out of the mountain, they captured a large Japanese arsenal. I heard them say that this arsenal was the Kwantung Army's war preparation warehouse for the war against the Soviet Union.
There are more than 100,000 rounds of 75mm mountain artillery shells in reserve. Their operations last year mainly relied on the weapons and ammunition in this warehouse."
"Except for the leaders of the Shandong Army and the New Fourth Army who were unable to come due to the long distance and tight blockade by the Japanese and puppet troops, those present here include almost all princes from all major regions of our army. This time, we invite everyone back from the front line.
It is to listen to their experience introduction, and it is also the central government who wants to ask for alms from you on their behalf."
"The boss has just said that Manchuria, especially Northern Manchuria where they are now located, is sparsely populated and it is difficult to recruit soldiers. Although they currently occupy more than 100,000 square kilometers of land in Sanjiang Province, the total population is only more than one hundred
Wan. Under such circumstances, they simply do not dare to recruit troops. At present, they are extremely short of supplementary soldiers."
"Their current force is based on laborers and captured Manchukuo soldiers. You also understand that this is not a long-term solution. Because although the number of laborers plundered by the Japanese army to the northeast is large, most of them are not within their control area. Therefore,
They expressed the hope that the central government would help deal with some soldiers and cadres. As compensation, they will airlift some equipment for everyone in the future."
"After central research, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has dispatched two regiments. The 129th Division has been organized into the 772nd Regiment and the 14th Regiment, and one regiment of local troops has been transferred from the Taihang Military Region and the Taiyue Military Region. 120
The division and the Northwestern Shanxi Military Region dispatched the Seventh Regiment and the Death Column Industrial and Guard Brigade, one column and one brigade. At the same time, the remaining troops from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region dispatched a regiment to complete the airlift to the Northeast."
"In addition, the Central Committee decided to draw elite personnel from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Northwest Shanxi Military Region, 115th Division, 129th Division, and Shandong Army to form two regiments respectively, and transfer them to the Northeast together. At the same time, the Central Committee will also draw personnel from the Anti-Japanese Army
Some cadres will be transferred to the Northeast."
"This time the troops of the Northern Movement will attack two brigades and eight regiments, each division and each military region must deploy capable cadres to command. In addition, all the original weapons and equipment of each unit will be retained, and they will be replenished by the Jidong Military Region after arriving in the northeast. Dear bosses
, you guys have made a fortune in disguise this time. The equipment you left behind is good or bad, but it’s a lot more spacious in your hands, isn’t it?”
