At this point, Yang Zhen clicked on the map and said: "Since their combat staff are not idiots, then why can't they think of everything we can think of? Judging from the configuration of the troops under the entire third theater, there is still a whole group of them in Zhejiang
Army. We are all veterans, and some have participated in the Long March. I think everyone is also very aware of the combat effectiveness of the 28th Army, which is affiliated with the Hunan Army."
"If necessary, they can move their troops westward at any time to blockade the Tianmu Mountains. If I am not mistaken, the 28th Army has already begun to move westward. And at this time, we are fighting against the Hunan Army, which is a very powerful force.
Encounter is not a good thing. As a strategic location and Tianmu Mountain in the depth of western Zhejiang, they will never give up easily. A heavy encirclement and suppression is inevitable."
"And judging from the current general deployment and direction of action of the enemy's forces, Prime Minister Shangguan Yun is worried about us marching eastward into Zhejiang. I think everyone knows what Zhejiang is. Zhejiang people are still very popular among the National Government.
, there are many people occupying high positions. If we really get into Zhejiang, I'm afraid Shangguan Yunxiang's butt will be unsteady."
"As for whether we will take advantage of his opportunity to move troops northward, judging from the current situation, he probably doesn't care. As long as we are squeezed out of Jiangnan, his mission will basically be completed. Eliminating us will be more important.
Well, if we can't eliminate him, as long as we withdraw from Jiangnan, his position will be very stable. In the next stage, his troop deployment will most likely be carried out in accordance with this intention."
"So, we can't just think from our own perspective, what is the most beneficial to our next action. At least we must also consider it from the perspective of our opponents, and then make this decision. Only
Only by considering everything comprehensively can we make the choice that is most beneficial to ourselves. This is what I mean by having reverse thinking."
After Yang Zhen's words fell, several people were stunned. This was the first time they heard the so-called reverse thinking. Thinking about the problem from the enemy's perspective, which they had never experienced in their previous battles. This so-called
Not to mention several regiment leaders and political commissars with guerrilla backgrounds, even Feng Dafei, the division commander of the front and rear armies and the current deputy captain and chief of education of the teaching corps, had never heard of it.
Looking at the puzzled expressions of several people, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Judging from our current military strength and strength, even if we arrive safely in the Tianmu Mountains, it will be difficult to stand still under heavy siege. Moreover.
Politically, we can only fall into a more passive situation. So how to choose our retreat route is extremely important for us now."
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, Feng Dafei hesitated for a moment and then said: "Political Commissar, you mean not to break out to the southeast, but to choose another direction? But currently, the southeast is the only direction where there are no traces of enemy troops. For us,
It should be the safest direction. No matter which direction the enemy forces are in, it is impossible to reach Jixi before midnight today."
Regarding Feng Dafei's judgment, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "If they want to eat us, they don't have to turn south and go south to Jixi. Judging from the confessions of the prisoners of the 368th Regiment, the 62nd Division has already arrived
Jingde County. And it is rapidly expanding to the northeast. As long as they can trap us north of the Jinsha River, they can cut off our route from the east to western Zhejiang at any time."
"When the 40th Division, the 52nd Division behind us, the 79th Division in the west, and the 33rd Independent Brigade in the northeast advance into the second column, they can encircle us north of the Jinsha River. If I
If there is no mistake in my judgment, the current 62nd Division must have deployed its entire force along the Jinsha River."
"Personally speaking, the more southeast there is no trace of the enemy, it just means that this direction is the most unsafe. I would rather rely on the enemy's movement that has been exposed than rush towards it rashly.
Retreating to a strange area where the enemy situation is unknown."
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, several people looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Feng Dafei, who had the highest position, spoke: "Political Commissar, according to you, turning to the southeast is not a good choice for us.
So what should we do according to your wishes?"
Feng Dafei's words almost touched everyone's mind. Hearing Feng Dafei's question, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said confidently: "My suggestion is that while the Forty Division is still in Jing County, we can use the Seventy Division to
The favorable situation is that the Ninth Division has not yet fully deployed. From the gap between the Seventy-ninth Division and the Forty Division, cross the road between Sanxi and Caijiaqiao lines and drill out."
"Based on the current establishment of the Third War Zone, the 79th Division is organized under the 86th Army, which was formerly organized under the 79th Army. The 40th Division is under the 25th Army, which was formerly under the 29th Army.
It has been less than half a year since I was transferred to the 25th Army. Although these two divisions are both direct troops of the Central Army, according to the ** practice, the horizontal communication between the two divisions with different structures is not close."
"They can cooperate with each other in a small area like Piling, but if it is in a vast mountainous area such as the entire southeast of Jingxian County and the northeast of Jingde, there are still many gaps between them that we can take advantage of. Sanxi is 40
The division headquarters of the 79th Division, and Caijiaqiao due south of it is likely to become the headquarters of the 79th Division. I am the God of War in the Anti-Japanese War."
"Since they all believe that we will definitely advance eastward, their troop deployment must be heavy in the east and light in the west. We will use this gap to jump out from Caijiaqiao to Sanxi. Then we will use the four
The Tenth Division has all assembled in a favorable situation in the mountainous area in the southeast of Jingxian County. We will go directly to the hinterland of Jingxian County and go north to fight against the Japanese."
Yang Zhen's counter-intuitive idea shocked several cadres at the regimental level and above who came to the meeting. They even looked at Yang in confusion.
Shocked, I don’t know if my ears heard it wrong, or if the young political commissar went crazy. I am the God of War in the Anti-Japanese War.
As the deputy chief of the Operations Section, Ye Gao directly spoke out what everyone was saying because of his responsibilities: "Political Commissar, you have the idea of jumping out of the encirclement circle from the junction of the 40th Division and the 79th Division to the west. We have no objection to the war against Japan.
I am the God of War. Should we turn around and head north to the hinterland of Jingxian County? Isn’t this sending us into the tiger’s mouth?”
"Even if the 40th Division, the 52nd Division, and the 79th Division were all transferred to our side, there are still three divisions in Jing County: the 144th Division, the New 7th Division, and the 108th Division. We are fighting against the Japanese.
I am the God of War. These three divisions, the 144th Division, are the elite of the Sichuan Army. They are also the division with the strongest combat effectiveness and the best equipment. I am the God of War."
"The 108th Division is part of the Northeast Army system. Although its combat effectiveness is slightly inferior, its equipment is at least above average in the three theaters. The entire division is equipped with the same Liao 13 rifles, made in the Czech Republic.
The quantity of light and heavy machine guns, French mortars, and ammunition is also sufficient. Although the equipment of the New Seventh Division is somewhat incomplete, both brigades are fully equipped with anti-Japanese weapons."
"With the current situation that our troops have less than a thousand troops and are extremely short of ammunition, if we can go head-to-head with the enemy forces of three divisions, wouldn't we be throwing ourselves into a trap? Even if the 32nd Army puts all its main forces in Jing County
In the southeastern mountainous area, Jingde is on the front line, but they will not relax their vigilance in other directions. I am the God of War in the anti-Japanese war."
"Political Commissar, the current situation is serious. No matter which step of judgment is wrong, it will bring disaster to us. I think we should be more careful. We must know that we have no ammunition.
There are no external reinforcements to resist Japan, so I am the God of War. Now our troops can even be said to have basically no combat effectiveness. To resist Japan, I am the God of War."
Regarding Ye Gao's judgment, Yang Zhen was very dissatisfied and said: "Comrade Ye Gao, you are the chief of the combat section, not the combat staff. You have an analysis and judgment of the entire war situation. This is very good. I am the God of War in the Anti-Japanese War. But you
Why did I only see part of it with my vision? Why did I choose to break through Jingxian directly to the north when I knew that the Third War Zone still had three divisions left in Jingxian?"
"General staff officers can't see it. It's normal for me to resist Japan. I am the God of War. But you are the chief of the operations section. You lead all the staff members of the operations section to assist the military chief in directing operations. It's abnormal if you can't see it. I am the god of war for the fight against Japan. You are here
The judgment of the war situation must have an overall view, and don't just look at the one-sided anti-Japanese war. You guys are all mid-level commanders, why are you still so short-sighted? You only look at one side of the problem?"
"The Third War Zone does have three divisions in Jing County. You have only seen that they are fully organized and have sufficient ammunition to resist the Japanese. But there is one thing I don't know if you have seen? These three divisions have one characteristic, that is
They are all so-called miscellaneous units that fight against Japan. Moreover, the three divisions are not all organic. They are all assigned to other units to command the war against Japan."
"Judging from the current situation, these divisions have been dismantled to pieces. Even the most complete 144th Division, two of the three regiments have been split up and given to the 52nd Division to command the Anti-Japanese I am the God of War.
The two brigades of the New Seventh Division were even split into two units with different organizational structures to command the anti-Japanese forces. The most critical point is that none of the commanders of these three divisions were able to command the anti-Japanese forces on the front line.
God of War. What does this mean? It’s very simple, that is, I am the God of War who cannot be trusted to fight against Japan.”
"Anyone else would not feel comfortable with this kind of distrust, nor would they really work hard to resist Japan. I am the God of War. Why are the division commanders of the miscellaneous troops replaced? What about those direct division commanders of the Central Army?
Not to be replaced? Why aren’t the 40th, 52nd and 79th divisions of the direct line divided and used?”
"The division commanders are not in command positions, and the troops have been torn apart. How much combat power do you think these divisions have left? Will you really sacrifice your life for them? What will happen to the morale of these divisions?
?How much combat power is left? Have you considered these?"
"If we go north from Jingxian County, they will not seriously intercept the Anti-Japanese I am the God of War. Because for them, fighting well or badly is the same as the Anti-Japanese God of War. After fighting well, the Central Army will not attack
They look at the anti-Japanese war god in a different light. If it is destroyed, their own strength will be damaged, and they may be swallowed up by the central army. "
"And once they are lost, it will be very difficult to replenish them according to the Central Army's usual practice of discriminating against novices. So they will not work too hard. The enemy forces in other directions are different.
They are all the God of War of the Central Army's Anti-Japanese Army. Not only is the Central Army's combat effectiveness strong, but its obedience is much better than that of these miscellaneous troops who have their own calculations and survival is their first thought no matter what the situation.
Mars."
"As for the no-names in the Central Army such as the Second Advance Column and the Zhongyi Rescue Corps, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, their obedience is far better than that of the no-name troops in the Anti-Japanese War. Once they encounter them,
, will also bring us a lot of trouble. So this is the reason why we choose to go to Jing County, the defense zone of the miscellaneous troops. "
