Although Yang Zhen asked Guo Bingxun and Wang Guangyu to find an opportunity to retreat as soon as possible, the reply from the two was extremely unsatisfactory for Yang Zhen. [.Com text] Both of them said in the telegram that although they had suffered few casualties, they had been captured by the Japanese and puppets.
The army is firmly stuck and it is difficult to retreat. At least before dark, there is no way to retreat.
Guo Bingxun told Yang Zhen in a telegram that the actions of the Japanese and puppet troops this time were very strange. They did not launch a strong attack against the obstacles they encountered. Instead, they adopted a front-line push, step by step, and little by little squeezing tactics. Most of the time,
They only use their troops to tightly block the blocking troops and rarely launch strong attacks.
Moreover, this group of Japanese and puppet troops acted extremely cautiously, and used artillery fire to carry out indiscriminate bombings whenever there was any disturbance. Although the progress was slow, it was extremely effective. The blocking troops tried to ambush part of them several times, but they never succeeded. On the contrary,
He suffered a certain amount of casualties. Although he slowed down the Japanese and puppet troops' attack speed according to Yang Zhen's pre-arranged tactics, they were also stuck by the Japanese and puppet troops and it was difficult to get rid of them.
Looking at Guo Bingxun's telegram, Yang Zhen frowned more and more. From Guo Bingxun's telegram, Yang Zhen came to a conclusion that was very unfavorable to him, that is, the Japanese and puppet troops had figured out their own combat rules and characteristics, especially their usual tactics.
The combat characteristics of setting up mobile ambush and loving ambush warfare.
What worries Yang Zhen even more is that Wang Guangyu, who also blocked the Japanese and puppet troops following him, also sent the same telegram. Looking at the two telegrams with similar contents, Yang Zhen couldn't help but secretly marvel at the Japanese army's response speed. Since his attack,
The real battle only lasted two battles at Wei Anshan and Zhoujiayingzi. The Japanese figured out the characteristics of their own battles so quickly.
Yang Zhen is not afraid that the Japanese and puppet troops will adopt the tactics of encirclement with heavy troops, because no matter how many troops there are, it is impossible to move simultaneously, and there will always be gaps that can be exploited. He is even less worried that the Japanese and puppet troops will adopt the tactics of dividing troops and encircling them, which will be more convenient for him.
Looking for fighter jets.
What he is most worried about is that the Japanese and puppet troops adopt the current tactics of moving forward step by step and pushing forward on the front line. From the telegrams sent by Guo Bingxun and Wang Guangyu, it can be seen that the Japanese and puppet troops adopt exactly this kind of tactics. Although it is extremely time-consuming, it is also effective.
It is the most reliable and the most practical tactic for dealing with guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.
Yang Zhen put down the telegram in his hand, opened the map, quickly found it, and marked his location, Guo Bingxun, and Wang Guangyu's location. After completing the homework on the map, Yang Zhen felt that the most fortunate thing for him now was that he made a desperate move to defeat the enemy in front of him.
Otherwise, once the encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops is completed, no matter whether he wants it or not, he will have no choice but to infiltrate into the trap set by the Japs. Based on the current situation analysis, Yang Zhen is certain that the Japs have set up an encirclement in the south.
Waiting for myself.
Looking at Yang Zhen with a solemn expression, Li Yanping on the side took the telegram and read it carefully and said: "Old Yang, it's best for us to rush out from the breach that has been opened as quickly as possible. We defeated what we saw.
The enemy has not been completely wiped out, and the news cannot be concealed for long. Once the Japanese mobilize heavy troops to fill this loophole, we will face the danger of being squeezed and surrounded by the Japanese."
"I understand what you are saying. Fighters are fleeting. But what should I do with Lao Guo and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang? We have stood out, and what should they do if they are stuck by the Japanese and puppet troops? Give up?" Regarding Li Yanping's words
, Yang Zhen didn’t understand the truth. But it was simply impossible for him to abandon Guo and Wang, who were clinging to the Japanese and puppet troops. This was not only a matter of emotions, but also a matter of military morale, morale, and even
The stability of the army.
Wang Guangyu was a member of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and there were so few anti-Japanese people in the army that it would not cause unrest in the army. But Guo Bingxun was different. He was the one who broke out of that devil's concentration camp with him.
Putting aside personal feelings, the current backbone of the army are all former prisoners of war. Guo Bingxun has a very high prestige among them, especially among the former Japanese prisoners of war who make up the majority. If Guo Bingxun is left under cover, if something unexpected happens,
It is easy to cause turmoil in the army. There is even a possibility that this newly established army will disintegrate.
In addition to the consideration of stabilizing military morale, Yang Zhen himself did not want to abandon any comrades or brothers. In his previous life, when Yang Zhen was performing missions, no matter how dangerous or difficult it was, he never abandoned a comrade. In this era, he will not do the same.
Easily abandon anyone.
Yang Zhen stared at the map in silence for a long time, then looked at his watch and said: "Political Commissar, no matter where we are from, we can't just leave like this. Leave Lao Guo and Lao Wang here to fight alone. You know what if
If we leave them here alone, what will be the outcome waiting for them? They are our comrades-in-arms and our brothers who share weal and woe. We are far from the edge of despair now, and we cannot abandon them."
"In this way, I will lead three companies and all the heavy weapons to support Deputy Chief of Staff Wang first. Although the Japanese and puppet troops on the two routes are large in number, they adopt more squeezing tactics and the offensive is not tight. Lao Guo still has
You can insist on supporting Lao Wang first, and try to defeat the enemy in front of Lao Wang first."
"We defeated the Japanese and puppet troops in the front. Even if the Japanese's communication capabilities are much higher than ours, it will still take at least some time for the Japanese to mobilize reinforcements, which will bring us a time difference. As long as we make good use of this time difference, we can defeat both sides.
One step along the way, our whole chess game comes alive."
"Political Commissar, if we cannot completely defeat the siege of the Japanese and puppet troops, even if we can bring the main force out of the Japanese encirclement under the cover of Lao Guo and Lao Wang, we will always be passive. Political Commissar, you lead
With the rest of the personnel and all the wounded retreating from the opened breach to the northeast, they entered the Zhuhe territory to hide."
"We still have a lot of food seized from Weihe County, which is enough to support you hiding in the mountains for a while. After you enter the Zhuhe territory, do not come into contact with anyone, especially the local people. After I rescue them, we will
Meet you. You take the radio away and we will communicate with each other if there is any situation."
Li Yanping pondered for a while and said: "Lao Yang, the situation is very serious. No matter from Lao Guo's side or Lao Wang's side, even if you add the three companies you brought, they are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. Judging from their
Judging from the situation reported by telegram, you also have an absolute disadvantage in terms of firepower. Your going is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. You are a military commander, and you should understand this truth. And you should understand even more, even if Lao Guo and Lao Guo
Unfortunately, the king died, and we still have people who can replace them. If you die, at least now there is no one in this army who can replace you."
"Lao Yang, I know and understand the relationship between you and Lao Guo. Lao Wang and I have known each other for a long time. We have fought together since he was transferred to the Fourth Army. After living together for so many years, how can we have less affection than you and Lao Guo?
But this is the cruel reality. Although our strength has improved, it is still far from being able to compare with the Japanese and puppet troops."
"In situations where there is a huge disparity in strength, it is necessary to sacrifice one unit in exchange for the survival of the main force. You are the commander of the unit and the military chief of this unit. You cannot act on your own initiative. You are responsible.
Not only for you personally, but also for this army and the cause of the party."
Having said this, Li Yanping paused and said: "Besides, Lao Yang and Lao Guo may not necessarily have something happen to them. It is getting dark, their troops are small, their targets are small, and this is a mountainous and forested area.
As long as they seize the opportunity and hold on until dark, they can easily escape."
"And Lao Yang, even if you insist on going, you can't go to Deputy Chief of Staff Wang. Lao Wang has fought guerrillas in the Northeast for many years. Although he has not received formal military training, he has rich experience in combat. He is especially good at guerrilla warfare and is very good at this area.
He is also familiar with the terrain, climate, and people's conditions, and he has experience in dealing with this situation. Even if the troops are scattered, he can still escape as long as he does not sacrifice himself."
"As for Lao Guo, although I haven't had much contact with him, I have a general understanding of his situation. Although he is very good in theory and is a top student at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France. But after returning to China, he has been
He served as a staff officer in the Kuomintang army and had never served as a military commander, so his combat experience was far less rich than that of Lao Wang."
"If we just talk about military theory, or about positional warfare and conventional warfare, we may be far inferior to him. But we know almost nothing about guerrilla warfare. So even if you want to go, you must go to Lao Guo."
Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Political Commissar, I want to save them not just for feelings. First of all, in terms of the stability of the army, most of the current backbone of the army and commanders at all levels are former Japanese prisoners of war, and Lao Guo is among them.
The prestige in China is very high. If we abandon Lao Guo, it will easily cause some people to think that we will not save him until death, which will most likely cause the troops to waver."
"Again, I just said it. If we can buy a certain breakout time at the expense of Lao Guo and the others, but for us it will only gain a temporary breathing space and fail to fundamentally get rid of the passive situation.
.”
"The Japs have planes in the sky, cavalry and armored vehicles on the ground, as well as a large number of traitors and spies to assist them. Cheng is not as familiar with the terrain in this area as we are. Even in the mountains, if we don't beat the Japs to pain, we will
It is difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops. I think since we have already beaten them, we should hit them once."
"Our westward march this time is not to capture cities and territory, let alone to show our military prowess. It is to conceal our true tactical intentions and to attract the Japanese and puppet troops who are attacking Xiangjiang area.
We will provide support to the anti-alliance and counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns in the region. It will also buy us some rest time.”
"And in the battle just now, we didn't pay a big price when we defeated the enemy in the front. It's not that we didn't have the ability to fight. We defeated the Japanese and puppet troops in the front. The Japanese were still unable to figure out our subsequent tactical intentions.
What is it? Is it to use one unit as a cover, to break through with the main force, or for some other purpose."
"Political Commissar, we now have three radio stations in our hands, and it is very convenient to communicate with each other. You take the two recruit companies that were expanded during the attack on the Japanese group tribes, the wounded, and the seized weapons and ammunition to hide in the Zhuhe River. I am here with the main force.
Let's fight another battle before the Japanese react, so as to get rid of our current passive situation as soon as possible."
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Li Yanping hesitated and nodded: "Okay, Lao Yang, you have convinced me. I agree with you, but I still think you should go to Lao Guo. Sent from Lao Guo and Lao Wang
Judging from the situation and the battle we just fought, Lao Guo’s side should be the main force dispatched by the Japanese this time. The situation there is much more serious than Lao Wang’s side.”
Regarding Li Yanping's view, Yang Zhen nodded in agreement. Li Yanping was right. In terms of military theoretical knowledge, no one in the army could compare with Guo Bingxun. Even Yang Zhen, who came from a later generation, thought that even if he was
In military theory, especially in the staff profession, he may not surpass Guo Bingxun.
But in terms of actual combat experience, especially front-line command experience, Guo Bingxun, who has been serving as a staff officer at the upper level for a long time, is far inferior to Wang Guangyu. Although Wang Guangyu has not been trained in a formal military academy, his actual combat experience is extremely rich. Especially in Beijing
Mountain combat in such terrain is far beyond what Guo Bingxun can compare with.
Moreover, Wang Guangyu was originally known for his bravery and prowess in the Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese War, as well as his military and political skills. Otherwise, the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army would not have been able to cooperate with Li Yanping in the single-on-one challenge in the Second Route Army, which was also considered to be a gathering of combat stars.
Allied with the Fourth Army.
Based on his judgment of the situation, Yang Zhen originally wanted to coordinate with Guo Bingxun instead of supporting Wang Guangyu. In Yang Zhen's view, compared to Wang Guangyu's department on the eastern front where the puppet Manchukuo army and police accounted for the majority, Guo Bingxun should have faced
It is the main force of the Japanese puppet army.
Now that you have made up your mind to fight, then hit hard and hit his main force. As long as you can find fighter planes to eat up part of the Japanese and puppet troops on the west route, although the passive situation will not be completely reversed, it will at least be alleviated.
Much.
But in front of Li Yanping, in order to show that he treated everyone who participated in the team equally, he did not hesitate to go to support Wang Guangyu first.
Li Yanping's statement made Yang Zhen breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed that he had judged a gentleman with a villain's heart and underestimated the mind of these old party members.
Yang Zhen and Li Yanping are no longer rookies on the battlefield. They still understand that time is life and time is victory. Now that they have made up their minds, Yang Zhen immediately started to make arrangements.
Just when Li Yanping, with two companies of recruits, the wounded and some captured supplies, began to withdraw north under the cover of one company, and Yang Zhen was about to lead three companies of the main force to prepare to march eastward to support Guo Bingxun's battle, a letter came from
The telegram sent from Guo Bingxun made him stop preparing for reinforcements.
Looking at the telegram in his hand, Yang Zhen quickly glanced at the map and then said to the correspondent: "Call back to Chief of Staff Guo and ask him not to fight head-on with the Japs, but to use layers of blocking tactics to lure the Japs where he is.
Come here."
After that, Yang Zhen said to the three company commanders who were standing next to him, waiting for his departure order: "We are not going to reinforce the chief of staff. We are going to fight here. You must gather your troops immediately and prepare to fight."
