Ye Chao was stunned by Yang Zhen's words. He did not expect that the political commissar actually disagreed with the army commander's idea. But what puzzled him was the telegram from the political commissar, both on paper and in practice.
They just gave the army commander a suggestion, but they didn't express any objection at all. Since there is no benefit in dividing the troops at the moment, why didn't the political commissar directly express his opposition?
After thinking about it, Ye Chao still asked: "Political Commissar, since you don't agree with the main force marching separately, why don't you put forward an objection? As long as you put it forward, the Army Commander will still accept it. The Army Commander is still very satisfied with your suggestion.
Respectfully. Besides, as the secretary of the military branch, you have this right no matter what."
Ye Chao's words made Yang Zhen shake his head: "Since I have handed over all transfer matters of the main force and the military department to the commander, I will never interfere with the latest chapter of Super Servant. I will raise my opinions, but no
He will issue orders. The future military command of the New Fourth Army will still mainly rely on the commander."
"As a commander of an army, how can you do it without a certain degree of confidence? In addition to solving the problem of the southern Anhui troops being unable to move north, the most important thing for me to come to Wannan is to re-establish the commander's confidence, trust in us and
Solve the current internal problems in the army."
"When I came here, I already knew that I was just a passer-by. In the future, military issues will mainly depend on the commander. This is not only my intention, but also the intention of the central government. So I will not force him to do so.
Order. After all, he, the military commander, is your current and future military commander, and I, the political commissar, must respect him."
"Fortunately, it is getting dark now, and the Japanese aviation will not be dispatched again. Since the Japanese aviation is no longer the biggest threat, the commander and the others should not have any big problems. As for the stubborn locals in those places, they will bring
It will cause some trouble, but it won’t be too big. The price is still something we can afford.”
"Our military commander is a top student from Baoding Military Academy. He served as regimental commander and division commander during the Northern Expedition. During the Nanchang Uprising, he also served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. When it comes to frontal head-to-head combat, he is a master. Ours
The level of generals at all levels is still somewhat different.
"After all, our army used to focus on guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. It is still not accustomed to frontal combat with large corps, and even the ability to attack difficult battles is very poor. There is a certain gap in the level, which is not surprising. But when it comes to guerrilla warfare
And dealing with guerrilla warfare, this is our strength, but his experience is far behind."
"And our inherent weakness in equipment and strength also determines that we will still be dominated by guerrilla warfare and small-scale mobile warfare for a long time in the future. Let the military commander realize our own problems early, and it will be beneficial to his future
There are still benefits to development.”
"After all, the Army Commander had not experienced actual combat for many years before the formation of the New Fourth Army, and our current opponents and the Beiyang warlords during the Northern Expedition are two completely different opponents. Sometimes a small loss can help a person or even
The maturity of a team.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the Swiss watch on his wrist that had been following him since it was seized in the Northeast. He stood up and patted it. After hearing what he said, the stunned Ye Chao said: "The main force
Let the military commander decide the matters over there. Since I have decided that the military commander will be solely responsible for the actions of the main force and the military headquarters, I should not interfere too much."
"Fortunately, even if the miscellaneous armed forces in these places can cause them some trouble, it won't be too much. Tell the troops to sort out the equipment. Bury all the items that cannot be taken away, and clean the place so that the enemy cannot
It looks like there is a large army stationed there. In half an hour, we will set off on time. It’s time for us to set off.”
Although the number of the troops that Yang Zhen brings with him is not large, it is only the size of a regiment. However, under Yang Zhen's reorganization, although it cannot be compared with his old troops, it is still impressive.
After giving the order, within just ten minutes, everyone was assembled, and the entire queue was silent.
Looking at the neat queue in front of him, Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction. However, he was satisfied, so he still had to say what he should say: "During the march, all actions must be obeyed by the command. It is still the same old rule, no smoking is allowed during the march.
No loud noises are allowed, and no actions are allowed without authorization. Fight when told to fight, and leave when told to leave. Keep up with the troops and don't fall behind."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the cadres and soldiers who were craning their necks to wait for his next words, but waved his hand: "During the breakout, each battalion company commander and political cadres must take responsibility and earnestly perform their duties.
Responsibility, lead your own troops. Now all troops follow my orders and set off immediately according to the marching regulations."
Yang Zhen, adhering to his usual vigorous and resolute style, led his troops in the opposite direction of the encirclement from the three surrounding theaters, taking advantage of the fact that several divisions around him had not yet completed the encirclement, which might be the last opportunity, to look for gaps and prepare to jump out.
.
As for Lee Myung-bak and his temporary security squad, he sent them out to reconnoitre the enemy's situation as early as dark. After all, under the severe enemy situation around him, he kept a strong scout to guard him.
It seems that Yang Zhen is undoubtedly a serious waste. Scatter them out and find out the gaps in the enemy's army early, and you can get twice the result with half the effort.
For Yang Zhen, who felt that the enemy forces on all sides were advancing at a significantly faster pace after dark, it would be the best strategy for Han Shi to avoid direct encounters with the enemy if he found loopholes in the enemy's blockade on the way to breakout.
The latest chapter. If you can do it without alerting the enemy, then you must not shoot. This is Yang Zhen's principle.
In fact, Yang Zhen's feeling was correct. Although the final encirclement of the mountainous area in the northeast of Jingde by the Third War Zone has not yet been completed, it has been notified that the 62nd Division had been released as prisoners, and it was determined that the Wannan troops were hiding in Jingde.
The headquarters of the Thirty-second Group Army in the eastern mountainous area is constantly urging all units to hurry up and arrive at their designated locations.
However, the Commander-in-Chief of the Thirty-Second Army, who was afraid that the southern Anhui troops would enter western Zhejiang, focused his deployment on the east and south directions. Most of the troops on hand, except for the 40 troops who were conducting clearing operations in the southeastern mountainous area of Jingxian County,
Except for the main force of the division and the 79th Division that blocked the east, all the remaining forces were placed in the areas adjacent to Jingde, Ningguo, and Jixi. His starting point was only one, which was that the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui could not be defeated under any circumstances.
Entering western Zhejiang.
Although there are a lot of troops deployed in the west and north directions, they are still a bit weak in the face of the vast mountainous areas. Especially at this time, the main force is still clearing out the southeastern mountainous area of Jingxian County, and the forty soldiers who have been hit hard before have
Divisions and troops are particularly lacking.
The entire blockade in the west and north directions cannot be said to be full of loopholes, but it is true that there are not many troops in all aspects. Facing such a vast mountainous area, the main force of the Forty Division is still in the southern mountainous area of Jingxian County.
Next, the 79th Division alone had to clear out the enemy one by one and blockade the highway from Jingxian County to Jingde. The force strength could only be said to be barely sufficient.
In terms of tactics, in the absence of the division commander, there is only one deputy division commander left to command and the 79th Division, which seems to be too cautious, is more regimented and adopts a steady tactic of advancing step by step and gradually forcing. When necessary,
Under the circumstances of leaving a force to guard the Caijiaqiao Division, adopting this tactic is sound, but no matter which aspect of the force is a bit weak in the face of the vast mountainous area. In this way, Yang Zhen is left behind
There are still many gaps that can be exploited.
Of course, these gaps are still too small for a large army. But for a force of more than a thousand people led by Yang Zhen, they are still enough. Regardless of the fact that there are gaps that can be exploited, for the entire breakout process,
, can still be used as a metaphor of danger.
Shortly after setting off, the troops encountered the 237th Regiment of the 79th Division east of Li Village. At that time, the main regiment of the 79th Division was at the foot of the mountain, and the troops led by Yang Zhen were hidden on the ridge. There were straight lines from both directions.
The distance was less than a hundred meters apart. The troops on the mountain could clearly see the march of the 237th Regiment of the 79th Division at the foot of the mountain. Even the voices speaking in the ranks could be heard quite clearly.
Looking at a whole regiment of enemies at the foot of the mountain, although the troops on the mountain were ready for battle, there was no order, and none of them fired. They just unscrewed the safety caps of the few remaining grenades and placed their hands on the triggers.
Go up. Yang Zhen's horsemen and the horsemen carrying the radio were holding on to the heads of their horses, for fear that the horses would make noise and attract the attention of the enemy troops down the mountain.
Fortunately, the troops of the 237th Regiment of the 79th Division at the foot of the mountain may have had the mentality of beating up the lost dog, maybe they were urged by their superiors, or maybe they were obviously in a hurry for other reasons, and they did not even notice the two sides of the mountain road during the march.
On the mountain ridge on the side, Yang Zhen's troops hidden on the mountain were not found at all. This level was finally passed without any danger.
After the 237th Regiment at the foot of the mountain walked away, Ye Chao, who was next to Yang Zhen, said angrily: "These guys are too arrogant and treat us as nothing. Marching in the mountains at night, not even a guard
The troops will not be released. If the main force is here, I guarantee that none of them will be able to escape in an ambush."
Regarding Ye Chao's disapproval, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "What's there to be upset about? In their view, we have been surrounded by their heavy troops in the mountainous area at the junction of Jingde and Jingxian counties. We are already a dead tiger, so there is no need to have any taboos at all."
.With this preconceived idea, it is normal not to take us seriously."
"But for us, we need their mentality now. The more arrogant they are and the less they take us seriously, the better it is for us. The more they relax their vigilance, the more opportunities we have to escape safely.
The more talent there is. If it can stand out without fighting, it will be a good thing for us."
"Tell the troops that ahead is the line from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao, the junction of the enemy's 40th Division and the 79th Division. We must be alert. If we encounter an enemy blockade when passing the highway, then
Fight it out at all costs. As long as we cross the Sanxi Highway, we will be safe."
