Chapter six hundred and sixteenth generation is terrible
During the conversation, Yang Zhen repeatedly suggested that the Zhongtiao Mountain garrison must immediately reorganize and adjust its troop deployment. Otherwise, according to the current situation, each unit will hardly have three days of food and ammunition reserves. Due to the business operations of each unit, Japanese spies have penetrated deeply.
If the situation continues to develop, the Japanese army will have almost no power to fight back once they attack.
Regarding Yang Zhen's judgment, the commander-in-chief, who was in charge but was actually very restricted, still believed it. However, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly at Yang Zhen's suggestions. The strategic position of Zhongtiao Mountain is important. As a military master,
He knew it very well. But he was powerless to adjust and reorganize the defenders.
Nowadays, Shanxi's grain-producing areas have all fallen and become Japanese-occupied areas. In the Zhongtiao Mountains, where the land is barren and the people are poor, and the grain output is seriously insufficient. The defenders only rely on supplies from the south of the Yellow River. It is not easy to maintain the current situation. Expand
Food reserves, where can we find so much food? Not to mention the local food in Henan, it is already quite difficult to supply the river defense garrison.
As for ammunition reserves, given the low military production capacity, the Central Army itself is still insufficient. The Zhongtiao Mountain garrison, which is mainly composed of miscellaneous troops, only maintains the minimum standard. If Yang Zhen's requirements are followed,
, if the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain stockpile enough food and ammunition, it will not be able to bear it in any case, as a single war zone, which currently only has the area west of the Yellow River in Henan Province.
As for cracking down on smuggling and business habits among the troops, it is even more difficult. The strategic location of Zhongtiao Mountain is certainly important, but the land is barren and the people are poor, and the miscellaneous troops among them are themselves discriminated against. In order to support themselves and their officers and soldiers,
, and some army officers, in order to make a lot of money, these miscellaneous troops, including their direct descendants, the 14th Army of the Central Army, do everything from smuggling and doing business. This has become a stubborn problem. If you want to completely solve it, then
It's so easy.
Seeing the helpless look on the commander-in-chief's face, Yang Zhen stopped talking. When the plane was filled with fuel and ready to take off, Yang Zhen once again refused the commander-in-chief's offer to stay and boarded the plane quickly.
Get on the plane and fly to your destination, Wannan, overnight.
Watching Yang Zhen's plane disappear into the night, the commander who rushed to the airport runway to see Yang Zhen off was silent for a long time. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to the chief of staff of the war zone beside him: "This person
Once we go to southern Anhui, I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement there in the Third War Zone."
Hearing his words, the chief of staff beside him couldn't help but said: "Sir, how do you know that he is going to southern Anhui? Besides, what if this person is going to southern Anhui? A young man with a yellow mouth who has not yet faded away.
, and how big of a storm can it cause? Although the commander of the Third War Zone is in a mess when it comes to running the place, when it comes to marching and formation, he is known for being steady and steady."
"He just took advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops in the Northeast were in full force and the troops were empty, and he fought a few victorious battles with the support of the Soviet Union. Now that he has left the Northeast and without the support of the Soviet Union, he only relied on the strength of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui.
With just the equipment and troops, how can he have the ability to change the world?"
"Coupled with the fact that the Third Theater District has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, equipment, and training when facing the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, the central government is determined to fight. With only 9,000 people, how can it be the opponent of the nearly 100,000 well-equipped troops in the Third Theater District? I heard
The Third War Zone has now transferred back several divisions that served as security guards in the Chairman's hometown. These divisions are well-equipped, and not to mention all imported equipment, they are direct descendants of the Central Army from top to bottom."
"As for the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain? I think there is no need to worry. The Japanese army has attacked the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain more than ten times, hoping to eliminate our defenders in southern Shanxi and then quickly. But what is the result? After more than ten attacks, that time was not Returning with a major defeat? Now the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain have gradually switched to the well-trained and relatively well-equipped Central Army. Coupled with the natural dangers in southern Shanxi, the Japanese offensive may still end in failure. "
Regarding the chief of staff's disapproval, the commander-in-chief shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate this person. He can defeat a general with a group of remnants and cause such a big storm in the Northeast where the Japanese army is heavily stocked. How can he be a good person? The hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Kwantung Army could not do anything to him, but instead suffered defeat after defeat."
"Whether the enemy situation in the Northeast is as easy as you said, you know in your heart and I know it in my heart. If I don't have the corresponding capabilities, in a place where the Japanese army is heavily stocked, even with the support of the Soviet Union, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand. Stop. Has the government received less aid from the Soviet Union in these years? Why hasn’t it pushed the Japanese army out of China like others?"
"He was able to not only survive in such a dangerous situation, but also develop and strengthen the army? This is not something he can do by chance. You and I are both soldiers, and we should all understand that there are no flukes on the battlefield. Battles can only be fought with real swords and guns."
The commander-in-chief whom he has followed for many years is just the most stubborn chief of staff. He understands very well. He just said this because he was a little unbalanced in his heart. Seeing that those Tubal Roads now have airplanes, he still felt relieved in one breath. Three American transport planes. Not only him, but also the confidants who accompanied the commander-in-chief to greet him at the airport felt a little uncomfortable.
However, although it was not a good feeling, as the commander-in-chief's first confidant, out of concern for the current domestic situation and his own commander, he still said with some concern: "Sir, the Air Force is not our territory after all. Don't you ask the Ministry of Military Affairs for instructions? and the Air Force, let them land in Luoyang without authorization, refueling, if the Military Commission finds out, I'm afraid it will be a troublesome matter."
"Especially now that the boss of the Military Command is in Henan, it will be even more troublesome. The Military Command Bureau has always had a sharp nose and has many eyes and ears in all aspects. This matter cannot be hidden from him at all. I am afraid that in the minds of many people , there’s a lot more red on your hat.”
"Once this matter reaches the ears of the Military Commission and the Chairman, and some people add fuel to the fire, it will be quite detrimental to you. Moreover, his destination is southern Anhui, and there is now a situation in southern Anhui. Under this situation, some people in the Military Commission may be quite unhappy with your obviously pro-communist move."
Regarding the chief of staff's concerns, the commander waved his hand and said indifferently: "What do I have to be afraid of? Isn't it still a serious crime for friendly aircraft to land in their own area for refueling? Even his Chongqing Military Commission is not doing it now. Are they officially recognized as belonging to the National Revolutionary Army? Are they not also awarded the rank of lieutenant general to that young man?"
"I just agree that their planes will land in Luoyang and refuel. If this can be considered a Communist Party, then the Chongqing Military Commission that awards people the rank of generals is more Communist than me. Well, brother Jijiao, don't worry. I know it in my heart."
Speaking of this, the theater commander, who has always been known as the leader of the five tiger generals of the Japanese army, was silent for a moment and said: "As for Zhongtiao Mountain, his worries are not unreasonable. If the troops stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain are still the same as before,
It’s Sun Shutang’s command, so I don’t have to worry too much.”
"Although Sun Shutang was born in the military, he is brave and good at fighting. His Fourth Army was born in a poor area in the northwest. Although its equipment is poor, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Now that the Fourth Army has been transferred, it can be said that the Zhongtiao Mountain Area
We have lost most of our combat effectiveness. In addition, the elite 47th Army of the Sichuan Army has also been transferred, which can be said to be a drain on the bottom of the cauldron."
"The remaining troops are either the motley crew of the Central Army like the Fifth Army, or the motley crew of the 15th Army and the 17th Army. Even my old unit, the 14th Army, is incomplete now."
"Most of the time, these miscellaneous troops have no means of replenishment. They sell tobacco, soil and food in order to survive. Many troops have rotted from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. In business, one may be able to make a fortune, but in terms of fighting, what is there in the body?"
It’s hard to tell how much military spirit there is.”
"If the Japanese army really launches a large-scale attack on the Zhongtiao Mountains, only God knows how long these troops can withstand it. Although we have not yet received the exact information about the Japanese army's attack on southern Shanxi, judging from this little guy's previous strategic vision,
We cannot completely ignore his judgment."
"I am about to return to Chongqing to report on my work. According to the personality of the chairman, I am afraid I will have to stay in Chongqing for a while. During my absence, you have to focus on the terrain of the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the deployment of surrounding enemy and friendly forces, and the possible mobilization of Japanese troops.
of participating troops and come up with a combat plan."
"At the same time, we will find ways to raise some grain and speed up the transportation. We must ensure that in the first half of next year, all ministries in Zhongtiao Mountain will have a month's worth of grain. At the same time, we urge all ministries to pay attention to hoarding ammunition and eliminate Japanese and puppet spies. In particular, each executive department must
Pay attention to guarding against Japanese spies. Don’t expose the location of the headquarters easily.”
"Also, we must pay attention to the collection and compilation of Japanese military intelligence. Especially between the end of this year and the middle of next year. Regardless of whether his judgment is accurate or not, it is still good for us to make more preparations. As long as we are fully prepared
, even if the Japanese army launches the twelfth attack on the Zhongtiao Mountain line, we will not be too passive."
Listening to the war zone commander's somewhat taboo words and his actions that were almost completely based on Yang Zhen's judgment, the war zone chief of staff, who is known as the model chief of staff of the Communist Party of China, was slightly startled. He did not expect that his old commander, known as a tiger general, would
He would attach so much importance to the opinions of that young man who has not yet faded away from his yellow mouth.
But although some do not believe Yang Zhen's judgment that the Japanese army will focus on attacking Zhongtiao Mountain next year, this is the last area in North China. He believes that the Japanese army, which has failed to attack the Zhongtiao Mountain area more than ten times in a row, will not easily attack Zhongtiao Mountain.
The chief of staff, who faced this hard rock, still nodded to express his obedience to the arrangements of the theater commander.
After the war zone commander made this explanation, he was not in a hurry to get in the car and return to the city. Instead, he stood on the edge of the airport runway, looking up at the stars in the sky for a long time, and then sighed long and long: "It's really a terrible life. I didn't expect that.
There will be such a young hero coming out."
"For the Anti-Japanese War, it is a blessing for the country and the nation that such a young general with long-term vision and bravery can appear in the country. I just don't know that when the Anti-Japanese War is over and the day when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party meet with each other, his appearance will be a blessing to the National Government. Say, is it still a blessing? Such an excellent general cannot be used by me. It is a pity that he is not under my command."
