At 9:00 a.m. on May 9, 1938, An Yi convened the three generals of the headquarters to hold a military meeting in Xiaonanhai.
As of the end of April, the entire southern Sichuan, western Hunan, western Guizhou, southern Yunnan, Nanhua, Mongolia and Central Asia controlled areas, plus trade and purchase, the entire group can achieve a monthly production of 1,500 tons of tungsten sand, accounting for about the total world output.
Eighty percent, 50,000 tons of natural rubber, accounting for about 20% of the world's total output. Among the major non-metallic minerals, the monthly output of bauxite ore is 100,000 tons, copper ore sand is 26,000 tons, and zinc ore sand is
Six thousand tons, one thousand two hundred tons of tin ore sand, and one hundred fifty tons of molybdenum ore sand, basically achieving self-sufficiency of alloy raw materials.
In terms of steel and energy, with the large-scale development of southern Sichuan gas fields and the start of production of Nanhua steel production base, the monthly production of natural gas has been achieved at 700 million cubic meters, 20 million tons of coal, and 1.8 million tons of steel. For the first time,
Having its own oil field. Judging from the overall development trend, Nanhua is now undergoing an explosive expansion stage.
Lieutenant General Chang Baofang, Minister of the General Logistics Department, introduced his family's assets and briefly explained the current equipment status of each army. Finally, he said with a smile on his face:
"Our F-2 surface-to-ground missiles have produced 100, and 80 of them have been transported to Guriyev and Uralsk to deal with the possible attacks of the Soviet Union against our army at any time. I think there are missiles
As a strategic deterrent, the security of our oil production areas is more guaranteed.
"I'll tell you a good news here. After five months of uninterrupted exploration, the missile production of our military factory has gradually been on track. Last month, it has achieved a monthly production of 38 missiles. As the production scale expands, not only production costs are needed.
It will be significantly reduced, and the output will increase exponentially."
An Yi nodded with satisfaction.
One of the important reasons why I was rushing to come back from Central Asia is that An Yi had to make a decision on the ownership of the missile. The current F-2 missile is still relatively primitive, with a maximum range of only 350 kilometers, and it is even longer.
There will be big problems with accuracy. Ding Molan is organizing manpower to research medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 kilometers. However, judging from the feedback information, there is no hope of success in a short period of time, and only the production of f-2 missiles can be used for emergency response.
But no matter what, the f-2 missile is almost an epoch-making weapon. With it, enemies within a range of 350 kilometers are all in the attack range, and as long as the coordinates are set in advance, regardless of day or night,
The combat mission can be performed 24/7. For a simple example, as long as the enemy's command is determined through radio waves, the F-2 missile can respond immediately and conduct precise strikes. I am afraid that the enemy's leader will not be able to understand the situation.
, he had already encountered a catastrophe. Naturally, all troops wanted to have such a huge killing weapon.
After careful consideration, An Yi finally handed over the missile to Shi Junren's Second Artillery Unit, which was under direct command at the headquarters. This was also the original intention of establishing the Second Artillery Unit. Therefore, although the heads of each unit were very disappointed, they had nothing to say.
speak.
For this purpose, the Second Artillery has specially formed four missile brigades. After receiving short-term training from rocket experts, it conducted live-fire drills and has already achieved combat capabilities. At present, two missile brigades have been deployed along the Ural River, and one brigade has been deployed in Nanhua.
The last brigade was deployed in the Mekong Plain area. Of course, if war requires it, it can be quickly transferred through transport aircraft and airships at any time to exert the powerful combat power of the missile.
The meeting moves to the next topic.
Lieutenant General Qin Shanyue, Minister of the General Staff Mobilization Department, stood up: "After two and a half months of training in the Syrian Mansion, the new recruits recruited from Nanhua have been completed, except for 528 people who returned due to their physical and psychological qualities.
After the local area, all the rest will be accepted and qualified. The next step is to be assigned to the troops and completely dissolved into our army. Now I will briefly report on the training of the recruits this time.
"This recruit training is based on actual combat needs. We intentionally increased the training intensity. We got up at 5 o'clock every morning, and after doing personal hygiene, we gathered at 5 o'clock, and then carried an armed cross-country training. We started hiking, but later carried ten kilograms of weight
, 20 kilograms, until fully armed forty kilograms, the trip is fifteen kilometers; eat on time at 8 o'clock in the morning, and those who come back late have no meals, and then there is a half-hour rest time; start at 9 o'clock, and queue until eleven o'clock
Training, cultivate good military posture, strict military appearance, coordinated movements and strict organizational discipline, enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, and cultivate collectivist concepts; learn cultural courses from 11:00 to 12:30, and do not recognize words.
When you are aware of literacy, the instructor will teach the professional knowledge of grassroots non-commissioned officers to cultivate reserve officers; when you have lunch at 12:30, you will have half an hour of lunch break.
"After the afternoon training resumes, learn shooting from 1:30 to 3:30; from 3:30 to 4:30, learn hand-to-hand combat or learn big sword against the enemy and grabbing; from 4:30 to 6:00, learn gun knowledge and require officers and soldiers to attack the opponents.
The gun is well known, can be dismantled freely, can independently eliminate common problems, be proficient in your weapons, and exert maximum power, and then have half an hour off. Starting at 6:30, you will be in a 15-kilometer marching training again, and have dinner on time at 9:30
; From 10:00 to 11:00 pm, the political department sent people to carry out ideological education, cultivate nationalism, establish the concept that the people's army comes from the people, and the military and civilians' relationship, and deeply penetrate the spirit of the model camp into the bone marrow; after 11:00, the individual
During the hygiene time, the lights were turned off at half past 11. This group of recruits trained very hard, and there were no problems with combat effectiveness and loyalty."
An Yi's face was still very serious: "The training of 400,000 new soldiers has been completed, and we have more troops on hand. After selecting the navy and the air force, we will probably have 300,000 troops left, plus Hanzhong and Yichang.
We will form ten armies of the 300,000 new recruits who come. Don’t just be happy. The new recruits are assigned to the troops. Just take the first step in the Long March. There are still many things they need to master next, which will take at least half a year.
Only come in handy..."
Seeing the unfavorable relaxed smile on everyone's face, An Yi glared and said, "What are your expressions? Don't think I'm telling a joke. This time the recruits are assigned, the Navy and the Air Force have the right to choose. These two
You all know how high the military requirements are. The army is no longer an era when it can be fought with just excellent training and courage. The driving and maintenance of tanks and armored vehicles of mechanized troops, and the boat bridge operations of engineer troops
Infantry cannons and infantry cannons and tanks are coordinated, etc., for half a year, it is just not allowed to pull the troops back. If you really want to reach the level of a veteran, you will not be able to do it without a year.
"As the Minister of Defense General Hu Jialin temporarily seconded Central Asia, the Army is currently under General Zhang Chengzhu's full responsibility for the formation of the new troops. After the ten armies are organized, we will not expand our troops within a year. From the War of Resistance Against Japan to the present,
We have expanded from 500,000 troops to the current 2.5 million. If we add the Northern Military Region, the Armed Police Force and the Civil Affairs Corps, the number of our army exceeds four million.
"Brothers, this is almost the limit that our current finances can bear. You must know that just the military pay, our monthly expenses have reached 250 million yuan. If we expand further, I guess my brother-in-law, Mr. Zhou Chong'an, is expected to be a 250 million yuan per month.
I'm going to ask me to resign from the position of Minister of Finance."
There were bursts of laughter in the conference room.
An Yi did not laugh and said with a stern face: "War is to make money, to make logistics. In addition to military pay, we have new technologies, new weapons research and development, new equipment testing and production, guns and ammunition consumption, etc.
Don’t spend a lot of money? Fortunately, after ten years of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, our foundation is very solid, with light and heavy industries at the same time, and agriculture has always attached great importance to it. This year, the bumper harvest of summer grain in southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan and Nanhua has become a foregone conclusion, and commercial circulation is also extremely developed.
With the open supply of materials, the people's confidence in Huayuan is becoming more and more strong.
"There is another point. After receiving military pay, most of the officers and soldiers in the army deposit money into our banks, or simply purchase treasury bonds, so that the circulation of currency on the market is basically normal, so that our Huayuan has not depreciated. However,
If we don’t know how to cherish it, just expand our army and become more powerful, we will one day exceed the critical value. Then the economy will collapse completely and we will not be able to cry!"
An Yi looked around the conference table and the generals in the back rows on both sides. Seeing everyone's expressions become serious, he said, "I believe everyone knows what happened in Nanhua some time ago. Today's meeting is the Minister of Public Security.
Ding Zhicheng should have attended, but he had no face to see all the brothers... That's right, he went to the grassroots level, and he promised me that it would take half a year to completely reverse the bad habits of the public security and the armed police force and recover the lost.
The spirit and soul of the people, re-establish the model camp spirit of daring to fight and striving for the interests of the people.
"Brothers, the lessons are profound. The consequences of not paying attention to the ideological construction of the army are this. People have selfish intentions, but the key is how to overcome them. Once people are dominated by desires, they will be doomed. Therefore, the General Political Department will be in the near future.
The main purpose of launching a rectification movement in the army is to eliminate the mountain and sectarianism that have shown signs in the army, oppose and eliminate subjectivism, and develop a spirit of seeking truth from facts.
"What is mountain doctrine? It means just by focusing on the interests of oneself or the small group of one's own troops, using the time of joining our army to divide the work areas and departments after joining the army, forming cliques, each army, each branch, and each branch, and each other.
Departments do not understand each other, are not united, or even hostile, and break up each other's walls. This is the sectarianism. So what is sectarianism? It is the thoughts and behaviors that exist in our army that take sectarian interests as the starting point, which are mainly manifested as:
In terms of the relationship between individuals and the army, put personal interests first, put military interests second, and establish an independent small kingdom in the army; in terms of organization, nepotism and put some backward, ignorant, and vulgar
The style of work is moved into the army; in terms of internal relations between the army, only local interests are emphasized, as long as democracy is not focused on concentration, and does not abide by the individual's obedience to the collective, the minority is obedient to the majority, the subordinates obey the superiors, and the entire army obeys the central government's principle of democratic centralism.
Carry out unprincipled factional struggles; when it comes to relationships with people outside the army, they are arrogant, proud and complacent, disrespectful, do not learn from others' strengths, are unwilling to cooperate with others, etc.
"We must firmly defeat the sectarianism and sectarianism and never be ruthless. If you have such signs of thought among you, it is best to reflect on yourself immediately and then quietly submit a thought to me, and then let me not blame you.
Otherwise, once it is found out, it will not be as simple as admitting a mistake to me!
"We are brothers who have worked together for many years. I don't want to see any situations in the various armies under the Nanjing government that have disobeyed orders, preserved their strength, and fight on their own. I will show my attitude here, once I get caught up with the mountain doctrine.
And the tail of sectarianism, no matter who he is, I will firmly take it down and never be soft-hearted!"
The whole audience was silent, and everyone was digesting the information revealed in An Yi's speech.
Then, An Yi threw out another shocking news: "In order to show the central government's attention to the ideological construction of the army, we will implement the political commissar system throughout the army. In the future, all the directors of the political department at the regiment level and above will be renamed political commissars, and political officials at the regiment level and below.
It is called an instructor.
"In the past, the army was ranked by military chief, deputy chief, chief of staff, and director of the political department. In the future, the political commissar would be ranked behind the military chief, before the deputy chief of staff. The political commissar was mainly responsible for the thoughts of the troops.
Construction, belongs to the head of the directly subordinate superior troops, works under the leadership of the military committee at the same level. Of course, in principle, the military chief official is the secretary of the committee.
"In political work, the political commissar obeys the superior political commissar and political organs; in military work, obeys the superior military commander, political commissar and military organs. In actual combat, the political commissar will support each other with the military chief officer and closely follow each other.
When cooperation, when no consensus cannot be reached on matters of principle, submit it to the military committee at the same level for discussion and decision, or ask the superior to resolve it. In an emergency, the issue of military work shall be decided by the military chief and the issue of political work shall be submitted to the military committee at the same level.
It is decided by the political commissar, but they must be responsible to the military committee and superiors, report afterwards and undergo inspection.
"Brothers, we implement this political commissar system to ensure the absolute leadership of the central government over the army, strengthen the political work of the troops, and complete the various tasks assigned by the central government to the army."
After An Yi finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
The reason why ideological construction has been raised to an unprecedented height is that in the war era, a strong leadership core must be guaranteed. To establish this core, there must be a unified guiding ideology. After years of construction, the Anjia Army has formed.
The political commissar will be the unswerving executors of the model camp spirit and nationalist ideological system. Whether it is now or later examples have proved that there is no army that unified thinking as a guide, and there is no strong political worker.
The system inevitably fails. It is inevitable that the troops must be combined into a whole, and the power must be brought to the same place, and the political commissar system must be introduced.
"Report! Urgent electricity!"
Major Guo Aiyu, the General Staff Communications Department’s General Staff, appeared at the door.
An Yi waved his hand, and the major adviser quickly walked to An Yi, took out an urgent telephone from the official document folder, and handed it to An Yi with both hands.
An Yi took it and his face changed drastically when he saw it. He stood up and said loudly:
"Brothers, the war between the Far Eastern Republic and Japan broke out! At 9:10 am in Nanjing time, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet launched a fierce shelling of the Vladivostok military port in the Far Eastern Republic. At the same time, the Japanese Army concentrated ten divisions from the North Korea and the Far Eastern border.
The area's Shacaofeng and Zhanggufeng launched a strong attack. With the cooperation of more than 1,000 fighter jets and hundreds of cannons, the Japanese army crossed the border and entered the Far Eastern Republic. At present, its vanguard has captured Hassan City and Far Eastern Pochet.
The plains have become the main battlefield for firefighting.
"Okay, today's meeting will end here. After the general manager of the General Logistics Department returns, immediately take stock of the company's assets and be prepared to support the front line at any time. The General Political Department must implement the spirit of today's meeting. Even in a state of war, we will also
We must unswervingly carry out the rectification movement. Only by upholding our foundation and grasping ourselves in our minds, and in the future, we will not fall and achieve one victory after another.
"The General Staff General and Chief Secretary stayed and went to the combat command center with me to analyze the situation. When Japan and the Far East went to war, we would inevitably be involved, especially in Central Asia. As the Far East Army returned to the rescue, we would face the dilemma of fighting alone.
It must be treated with caution."
As An Yi finished speaking, the schoolmen stood up in the conference room and saluted An Yi solemnly. An Yi was not pretentious. After returning the salute, he took the lead in walking out of the conference room door and heading towards the combat command center separated by a wall.
In the command center, the staff members were busy and orderly. An Yi came to the large miniature sand table and watched the eight staff members insert the divisions, brigades and corps flags representing the Japanese army into the territory of the Far East according to the latest battle report.
An Yi looked at the distance of the coast and made a prediction at the first time: the entire Pochet Plain is only 30 kilometers away from the coast, and most areas are directly under the threat of Japanese naval naval guns. If there is no countermeasure against the warships
Measures: It will be a matter of time before the collapse of the Far East Army’s defense line breaks down.
Deputy Chief of General Staff Yang Fei, Minister of Operations Shen Ziling, Minister of Intelligence Liu Qing, Minister of Special Operations An Jin and other generals gathered with An Yi.
"well--"
An Yi looked at the dense battleship flags inserted in Peter Bay outside Vladivostok and sighed long: "I don't know if the senior management of the Far East Army and the commander of the Pacific Fleet obeyed my opinion. After receiving it from Tokyo
After the top secret information, I immediately told the senior leaders of the Far East Communist Party's senior management of the possible action plan that the Japanese army may have initiated, and suggested that they should withdraw some of the warships and send them to the north of the Sakhalin Bay and the Sea of Okhotsk to avoid maneuvering with the Japanese Navy.
The main fleet fought head-on and held a strategic decisive battle in the narrow Amur Bay area. But they replied to the call: After years of construction, Vladivostok is solid and there is no security problem at all."
“It’s normal for them to have this confidence.”
Liu Qing took the baton from a staff officer: "Vladivostok's defense can almost be said to be impeccable. Look here, at the beginning of this century, Russia built a fortress around Vladivostok port, built three forts, two multi-faceted forts and
Three glasses, the fortresses are connected by trenches protected by chest walls. At the same time, on the Holodirin Mountain to the north of the port and the Amur Peninsula to the south, the 'Russian Fortress' and 'Fortress No. 4' are respectively built, these defenses are
The fortifications are quite similar to the Lushunkou Fortress built at the same time. At that time, it was enough to use the fortress firepower to deal with naval fleets that dared to make a decision on Vladivostok port. The facts also proved this. During the Russo-Japanese War, Vladivostok, which was initially constructed, was completed.
The fortress group played an important role. Under the threat of a large number of coastal artillery, the Japanese Navy's offensive returned in vain and failed to occupy Vladivostok.
"Before World War I, Russia built seven fortresses and four fortresses on the southern bank of the Suifen River Basin in Shuangchengzi (now Ussurisk) to the south bank of the Suifen River Basin in the Gulf of Amursky, and then built seven fortresses and four fortresses on the southern bank of Renda Island (now Russian Island)
Five fortresses, coastal forts, anti-landing and topped passages were built on the east coast. The new fortress absorbed all the achievements of military engineering technology at that time, including many well-set bunkers and underground passages, which were once known as
It is a model of coastal fortresses and fortresses. Tsar Nicholas II once made ruthless words that the fleet in the world that can capture the Vladivostok group does not exist at all.
"After the September 18th Incident, due to concerns about Japan going north, the Soviet Union allocated special funds to establish a new coastal defense system in Vladivostok and around, including a solid coastal turret built on the island of Renda, which is equipped with 180 mm and 305 mm.
The mm coastal artillery also includes many 203, 305 and 356 mm railway artillery. This coastal defense system, coupled with the five newly built fortresses on Kan Island, covers the entire Amur Bay estuary, and is almost impeccable in defense.
, so the senior executives of the Far East Army were so confident!”
"I know all of these, but-"
An Yi took the baton from Liu Qing: "Did you find out that the entire Vladivostok defense system is almost targeting threats from the sea. Now the Japanese army launched attacks from sea and land at the same time, and these fortresses targeting the sea surface can still play a huge role.
Is it effective? Don’t forget that the Japanese army not only has the third-ranked navy in the world, but also has four million troops, but also the Japanese aviation army is equipped with B17 air fortress bombers, which will be a serious threat to the defense of Vladivostok Port!
”
Yang Fei couldn't think of how to break the deadlock, so he had to comfort him: "Chairman please relax. As the person involved, the Far East Army must have thought of these unfavorable factors, and there must be complete response measures. Please see, in the Pochet Plain area
, the Japanese naval guns can play a huge role, but when they reach the Amur Gulf coastal areas where coastal artillery are spread throughout the coastal turrets, the Japanese land offensive will inevitably be greatly threatened by the Far East Pacific Fleet.
"Currently, the Far East Pacific Fleet has two cruisers, one destroyer, twelve destroyers, seventy-eight submarines, nineteen frigates, ten mine-burning ships, fifty-two minesweepers, and forty-nine submarine hunting ships
, 204 torpedo boats, such a huge military force on the sea, cannot be defeated by defeating it. With the assistance of a large number of coastal artillery, it is like a huge turtle shell, and it may not necessarily be a loss for Japan."
An Yi smiled: "Hope! If you can see the Japanese defeated, it will naturally be extremely comfortable... Old Li personally sent a telegram, it should be the battle report...
”
Lieutenant General Lie Yufu, Minister of Communications Department of the General Staff, quickly walked into the command center, came to An Yi, and handed him a telegram.
This is the first battle report of the Far East Army's coastal combat cluster forwarded by the Far East Republic. The Japanese Navy's attack on Vladivostok Port was thwarted. The large-caliber coastal artillery equipped by the Far East Army played a huge role and sank the Japanese Navy with zero casualties.
One destroyer, two gunboats, and multiple warships were injured. Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the Japanese fleet commanded the fleet out of Amur Bay. According to the reconnaissance proceeds of the S3 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft introduced by the Far East Air Force from the Syrian Palace, the Japanese fleet is currently in Vladivostok.
The Greater Peter Bay cruising south of the harbor, the specific movements are unknown.
After reading the telegram, An Yi was a little surprised. Did the Japanese Navy retreat like this? With An Yi's understanding of the Japanese, as long as he identified the target, he would be willing to even break into pieces. Does this contain the Japanese?
A conspiracy?
An Jin took the telegram from his elder brother, handed it to Yang Fei after reading it, and said with a smile: "It is true that Deputy Chief of Staff Yang's expectations, the Japanese Navy hit the iron plate and lost three warships as soon as the war started.
, I guess their commander will die now."
After reading the telegram, Yang Fei was about to be humble, but An Yi shook his head heavily: "No, this is definitely not the main force of the Japanese joint fleet. No matter how strong the defense is, under the powerful artillery fire of battleships, battle patrols and cruisers, the Far East
The military coastal defense forces cannot have zero casualties. There is only one explanation: the Japanese Navy did not do its best!”
The generals were surprised, and their mood, which had just relaxed, became tense again.
An Yi held the baton and suddenly pointed to the Soviet port on the west coast of the central Tatar Strait, and shouted: "This military port with only 30,000 people is located at the end of the coastal railway, north of Miao Street (now Nikolayevsk) five.
It is 113 kilometers away from Gongqingcheng in the northwest, and is across the sea from Sakhalin Island (now Sakhalin Island) in the east, connecting the Okhotsk Sea and the Sea of Japan, with an important geographical location.
The key is that since the railway connecting Gongqingcheng was built two years ago, it has developed rapidly and gradually became an important sea-land transport station in the Far Eastern Republic. If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would definitely concentrate my superior forces and make every effort to occupy this port.
He took the Communist Qingcheng along the railway, and then threatened Boli (now Khabarovsk) to cut off the retreat of the Far East Army in the coastal area in one fell swoop."
Everyone looked at the miniature map of the Far East and reasoned according to An Yi's ideas and suddenly burst into a cold sweat.
Yang Fei asked anxiously: "Do you need to notify the Far Eastern Republic immediately?"
An Yi shook his head: "It may be too late... If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would have to launch it at the same time in the Soviet port while I was pretending to Vladivostok. Now, the attention of the Far East senior executives is concentrated on Pose
The Japanese army's strategic maneuver can be easily achieved on the Te Plain and Vladivostok."
As soon as An Yi finished speaking, Li Yufu came to the war room with a telegram again. As expected, as An Yi expected, the Soviet port was lost half an hour ago!
