Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight completely disappeared
But this is not their fault. The problem still lies with the ambitious and incompetent commander-in-chief of the 32nd Army. As early as the military headquarters broke through the Shuiyangjiang defense line and had no troops to send, the Second Guerrilla Zone immediately attacked
The situation was reported to the headquarters of the 32nd Army. According to the regulations of the Third War Zone, the Second Guerrilla Zone is currently under the command of the 32nd Army.
It's just that the commander-in-chief didn't believe the number of New Fourth Army troops who had escaped from the Shuiyang River line reported by the Second Guerrilla Zone. He insisted that those were small groups. They were meant to attract the country's main force, which was currently trapped in the Jingde Mountains.
It was a feint action taken to capture the army's attention. Their main force must still be in the Jingde Mountains.
Not only did he not distribute this information, he even kept urging the troops to seize the time to clear the eastern mountainous area of Jingde. If he had distributed this information earlier, I am afraid that neither Fang Riying nor Wang Yongshu would have let him go.
Thousands of people's belongings slipped away under my nose.
As for what the commander-in-chief Shangguan is thinking at this time, and whether he is as simple and stubborn as he seems on the surface, I am afraid you can only know by asking him himself. But in any case, his stubbornness at least helped at this time.
Yang Zhen's busy schedule and slow deployment adjustment allowed Yang Zhen to encounter several dangers in his subsequent operations, but he still managed to cross the Yangtze River smoothly and safely arrived in Wuwei, Jiangbei.
There were no pursuing troops behind him, so Yang Zhen's marching speed was naturally very fast. In the early morning of that day, he had already arrived at the Niulanling line. Although there were no pursuing troops behind him, Li Mingbo, who was exploring the road in front, did not send back a report that there was an interception by enemy troops.
.However, Yang Zhen still rejected the suggestions of several cadres above the regiment level who hoped to take a short rest.
In Yang Zhen's opinion, at least the Niulanling line is not the best place to rest now. It is still too close to Sanxi and Caijiaqiao lines, including the Xingtan line. He led his troops in such a big circle, and then went back to the original place.
Ground. It is to break out from the place where the enemy least expects it, so as to completely get rid of the enemy.
Pointing at the map, Yang Zhen said to several cadres at or above the regiment level around him: "It is not appropriate for us to rest now. Before the sky gets completely bright, we have to move as far north as possible. Chikeng Mountain is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests.
, the mountains are crisscrossed. To the north, you can directly reach the south bank of the Qingge River, and to the west, you can enter the Huangshan Mountains. And we also have a certain foundation there. Once there, we will hide and rest."
"As for the Niulanling line, the depth here is too shallow, and the distance from the enemy forces on the Sanxi and Caijiaqiao lines is still a bit close. We will try to reach the Chikengshan line in the early morning. The enemy will not let us slip away from their hands, and they must be at this time
Mobilization has already begun.”
"However, judging from the terrain, in the next battle, they should focus on preventing us from entering the Huangshan Mountains to the west, and will not focus on the north in the next step of troop deployment adjustment. We must take advantage of the enemy to find out
We must move as close as possible to the deep mountainous area before confirming our exact movement."
"We are now very depleted of supplies and extremely short of ammunition. Before crossing the Qingge River, we must try our best to avoid encounters with the enemy. After we found a way to replenish some supplies in Chikeng Mountain, we rested for two hours. Then we rested for two hours.
We will go all out to the north, and we will not have any time to rest on the way, at least until we cross the Qingge River."
"After a night of forced marching in the mountains, the troops are indeed extremely tired. But after we appear on the road from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao, we will inevitably disrupt the enemy's deployment. If we cannot take advantage of the chaotic period when the enemy adjusts their deployment, we will attack the enemy as soon as possible.
Cross the Qingge River, and when the enemy reacts, we will have no chance of breaking through."
"The military headquarters and the main force have broken through the front line of the Shuiyang River. It can be said that they have completely escaped the encirclement of the Third War Zone. But with the sound of gunfire on the Shuiyang River front line, even if all the fools in the Third War Zone are aware of our tactical intentions.
In addition to our battle on the line from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao, I am afraid that the 32nd Army will go all out to deal with us in the next step."
"So, for us, we must move as quickly as possible and reduce the rest time as much as possible. Tell the troops to hold on, what is being compared now is the willpower of both sides. We are tired, and the enemy troops who are mobilized back and forth by us are even more tired.
As long as we strengthen our will and resolve, we will definitely be able to break out before the enemy troops readjust their deployment."
"Although we have few soldiers and little ammunition left, we also have an advantage compared to the main force, that is, there are basically no non-combatants, and everyone is a combatant. Although there is a shortage of ammunition, there is no shortage of equipment.
.Although our ability to attack difficult targets is slightly lacking, our strength is in mountainous marching operations."
"I believe that as long as everyone can overcome fatigue, we will be able to stand out safely. Everyone must believe in themselves and the organization. I ask comrades to believe in me. As long as everyone obeys the order, I will definitely save everyone."
Take it out."
Having said this, Yang Zhen handed the map to Ye Chao beside him, looked at the dark Niulan Ridge in front of him, and faced Feng Dafei and the two regiment leaders. The political commissar said: "After arriving at the front line of Chikeng Mountain, you select a group of people.
A group of capable people who are from the local area and are familiar with the terrain there will find a way to go to the villages at the foot of the mountain to buy a batch of grain."
"The troops have to keep moving, and they can't do it without food in their stomachs. And when we go north, we have to hide our whereabouts as much as possible, so this may be our last trip before crossing north, or at least before crossing the Qingge River.
There is a chance to replenish supplies."
"In addition, when marching, you should avoid villages as much as possible when you encounter them. Try to march in mountainous and forested areas, and do not have contact with local residents. If you encounter people on the road, no matter who they are, you must take them with you until you arrive in Wuhu
Let it go when we are inside the territory. The road is all mountainous, so we probably won’t encounter too many ordinary people.”
"Also, when replenishing supplies, try to find old connections. If it doesn't work, just buy makeup. Try not to reveal your identity. In a word, be careful. Be careful. You must be in front of the enemy.
On the map, our traces have completely disappeared."
Several cadres heard Yang Zhen's words. Although they hesitated, Yang Zhen's orders were still carried out without reservation. For these regiment leaders and political commissars, in the current situation, the experience of the past few days
They have been told that there was nothing wrong with listening to the young political commissar. There was nothing wrong with the political commissar's caution.
The actual number of troops he has on hand is no more than a thousand. If such a small unit is exposed among tens of thousands of surrounding troops, it will immediately fall into disaster. The main force has escaped. If this small unit of his runs away again, then
The sworn Shangguan Yunxiang had no way to explain to his superiors.
After a few days of fighting, these cadres have almost blindly trusted the young political commissar in front of them. Although a night of forced marches in the mountains have already caused these horses to be abandoned or handed over to the main cadres and
The troops were also extremely tired, but no one raised any opinions on Yang Zhen's ideas.
In fact, the troops were tired, but Yang Zhen, who had slept less than four hours in total in three days, was also tired. Since the breakout of Xingtan, his horse has been carrying wounded people, and he has basically not ridden.
When the troops marched on foot, he also walked. When the troops were resting, he had to study the next action plan. In fact, he was more tired than ordinary cadres and soldiers.
Even this feeling is more tiring than when I had no time to sleep for several days and nights in the Northeast. In the Northeast, I have two close comrades, Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, who live and die together to share my burden. Most of the cadres are my own.
The person who was brought out was very familiar with his own fighting style. Once the order was given, there was no need for any explanation at all.
Moreover, after several years of fighting together, commanders at all levels have a very good understanding of their strategic intentions. The most important thing is that they have worked hard in the Northeast. Although the number is still insufficient, they have cultivated a considerable number of
A number of qualified combat staff officers.
When we arrived in southern Anhui, the situation was completely opposite to that in the northeast. Not only did the staff's professional level not be comparable, but they also did not understand each other well enough with commanders at all levels. In less than a month, it was simply not enough time to communicate with cadres at all levels, especially commanders above the regiment level.
There is too much understanding. At most, it is just a familiar face.
The most important thing is that the military commander who should bear the main military command responsibility has been suppressed for several years and appears to be timid when commanding operations. Moreover, many years of exclusion have made him somewhat alienated from the army. Before coming to Wannan, he
I didn't expect that there would be so many internal problems in the southern Anhui army.
As future generations know, the final outcome of the Wannan Incident was definitely not purely a military issue, but more of a deep-seated reason. If the central government did not temporarily change generals, they would have a certain grasp of the causes and consequences of this incident.
When it comes to Wannan, I'm afraid that anyone else would be basically unable to make a comeback. The internal conflicts here are too deep. It is not possible to freeze three feet in one day.
Although the transferred people have higher qualifications than the deputy commander, their military skills are basically far behind. Those who know military skills are not as qualified as the deputy commander. This is why the central government treats the deputy commander
The reason why the military commander has been unable to replace him despite being quite dissatisfied.
Of course, although this figure is difficult to give birth to, there is no one who can replace him. For example, Yang Zhen, the famous teacher and commander of the 129th Division, with his qualifications as the Chief of General Staff of the Red Army and his extremely high military theory
level and extremely high strategic and tactical literacy to be competent.
But the position of the 129th Division is extremely critical. Not only does it bear the important task of protecting the headquarters of the 18th Army, but the base area it established is also in a key position connecting several major strategic areas. It is inseparable from people at all. Not only its own teachers and leaders
, including several other qualified people who are currently the coaches of major strategic areas, are also unable to escape.
As a person who participated in the work during the Anti-Japanese War, although my qualifications are not deep and my age is a bit too young, I have made great achievements in the Northeast, at least at a military level. And with my record in the Northeast, I am enough.
You can suppress some people. Now that the Northeast is in a strategic rest period during the severe cold winter, it is more appropriate to deploy yourself here.
