Chapter 1822 The idea of counterattacking the Far East
On June 26, after receiving the clear photos taken by the "Clear Eye" No. 1 satellite, An Yi was so determined that he took a train overnight to Anxin City and met behind closed doors with Lao Shoudao, Jiang Yunshan, Dong Fuchuan, Ma Junwu and other think tanks.
Negotiate.
On the 28th, An Yi returned to Xinjing by train and immediately issued an order to summon all fronts, group armies, divisions, air force, and naval generals of the entire army to Xinjing to hold an enlarged meeting of the Military Committee.
On the first day of the meeting, according to Hu Jialin's own wishes, he was relieved of his military post as commander of the Central Asia Military Region, returned to Xinjing, and formally performed the duties of Minister of Defense of South China. Lieutenant General Huang Zhi, former chief of staff of the Central Asia Military Region, was transferred to the General Staff and returned to the General Staff.
He served as deputy chief of staff and was promoted to general.
The next day, the Military Commission issued an order to commend 362 generals and generals who had outstanding performance in training and combat in various theaters. All the above personnel were promoted to the first level, and some retained their original positions. Most of them will serve as more important leaders.
post.
On the third day, the General Political Department announced the performance of 436 transferred military generals who participated in local work during their performance at the grassroots level. Among them, 362 generals performed outstandingly and successfully completed the organizational tasks handed over to them.
tasks and made outstanding contributions in developing local economy, transportation, education, etc.
According to their own wishes, 212 generals chose to return to their original units and use them at a higher level. The remaining 150 people were rewarded with promotions and will stay in the local work thereafter.
Among the other 72 generals, 51 performed generally and were resistant to being transferred to local work. They were relatively passive in their work and did not exert their subjective initiative. However, they did not commit any principled mistakes during their tenure. According to the general
According to the regulations of the Political Department, these fifty-one generals will be notified, criticized, and demoted. If they continue to neglect their duties in their new posts, they will be severely punished by being dismissed from the military and public offices.
The last twenty-one generals either rushed forward and made huge mistakes while serving in local leadership positions, or they responded passively and retreated when encountering difficulties, tarnishing the image of the party and the army. All the above personnel will be transferred to the reserve force.
After thinking and studying, assign work as appropriate.
Among them, there are three people who are in a special situation. During their tenure as the main local leaders, the economic aggregate of their counties and cities increased rapidly. However, they accepted bribes at work, sought personal gain for their families, relatives and friends, and accumulated more than 5,000 yuan in embezzlement.
, according to the judgment of the military court, the death penalty was executed that day, and the stolen money was confiscated.
Due to the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, the atmosphere in the entire military and political circles has been suppressed, and the new batch of transferred military generals who have received orders from the General Political Department dare not slack off. In the future, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly to new work and strive to
Serving as an official for one term brings benefit to one party.
A week later, the enlarged meeting of the entire army ended, and An Yi issued an order from the Chairman of the Military Committee: From now on, the army sequence will be re-planned, and all front armies, group armies, and division teams will be adjusted. The adjustment period will be one month. It is hoped that all generals and colonels can stick to their posts.
, stand at the last post.
In this adjustment, in addition to the exchanges between unit commanders, the most significant change is the continued strengthening of the role of the front army.
The original front army organization only had three group armies and the directly affiliated guard corps under its jurisdiction, and could not truly act on its own. If other front armies were mobilized to provide assistance, military orders would not be effectively unified because they were all at the same level, and it would be easy for them to fight independently.
In this adjustment, the establishment of directly-affiliated armies and divisions was cancelled. The directly-affiliated armies were organized into new group armies, and the directly-affiliated divisions were divided into various ministries. According to the new organization, the front army had at least four group armies under its jurisdiction, usually eight group armies, each of which
The group army has three divisions and tank brigades,
Directly affiliated units such as armored brigades and engineering brigades. In addition, the mobilization of troops to assist in cross-border operations is basically based on group armies and their subordinate units. This will no longer interfere with the unified command of the leadership teams of each theater, and it is easy to knead all military forces into one
Fists, united against the enemy.
According to the meeting plan, Gu Changfeng Cluster and Yang Guan Cluster were officially merged into the Central and Southern Front.
The main combat directions of this front are Malaya and Burma. General Gu Changfeng serves as the commander of this front, Lieutenant General Yang Guan serves as political commissar, and Lieutenant General Xie Chi serves as deputy commander. Except for some generals above the division who remain in the front, most of them are transferred to
The armies of other fronts took up their posts, and then the corresponding generals were transferred from other fronts to perform their duties. This officially started the rotation of military cadres and eliminated the hidden danger of mountain-headism.
The Xia Jian cluster and the mountain cluster led by An Jin were jointly organized into the Northern Burma Front Army. General Xia Jian served as the commander of the front army, Lieutenant General Yan Yaohuan served as political commissar of the front army, Lieutenant General Sun Zhuming served as deputy commander, and Lieutenant General Jiao Guangxu served as chief of staff.
The direction of operations is Burma and East India.
According to the General Staff's transfer order, Lieutenant General An Jin, the former commander of the mountain cluster, was transferred to the commander of the Capital Garrison District, which was formed by special forces elites and elites from various front armies. Chief of Staff Liang Zhenyu was transferred to the political commissar of the garrison area. The garrison area has three Guards Group Armies under its jurisdiction, all of which are composed of special forces.
It is composed of military officers and soldiers, veterans who have recovered from injury or meritorious officers and soldiers.
The garrison will strive to build the most elite mobile combat forces and form all-weather rapid response capabilities as soon as possible to cope with all front army operations.
The Indian Front Army consists of the Li Jinlong Cluster and the Zhang Chengzhu Cluster that was transferred to West India. An Yi's two sworn brothers hold major positions in the Front Army. Among them, General Zhang Chengzhu serves as the Commander of the Front Army, General Li Jinlong serves as the Political Commissar, and Lieutenant General Wu Xianwei serves as the Deputy Commander.
, the main combat direction is the East India region, and it also assumes the important defense and security tasks of Balochistan and cities on the coast of the subcontinent.
The Ye Cheng Cluster and the Yang Jiuxiao Cluster form the Middle East Front Army. General Ye Cheng, the former tank cluster commander, serves as the commander of the front army, General Yang Jiuxiao serves as the political commissar, Lieutenant General Ma Yuanjiang serves as the deputy commander, and Lieutenant General Huang Hanqian serves as the chief of staff.
In order to strengthen its organization, this front army has 12 tank divisions, 8 armored infantry divisions, 12 motorized infantry divisions, and is also equipped with a number of independent heavy tank brigades, tank destroyer brigades, howitzer brigades and army aviation units. They are mainly used for
Warn the Germans and prepare for future coveting of the Persian Gulf region by the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other countries.
The Central Asian Front Army is a newly formed front army, consisting of the Xiao Wu Tank Group and the Ural garrison. Deputy Chief of General Staff General Zhao Rui serves as the commander of the front army. Lieutenant General Huang Yingwu, the former political commissar of the Central Asian Military Region, serves as the political commissar of the front army and the former commander of the tank group.
Guan Xiao Wu serves as deputy commander of the front army, and Lieutenant General Shen Ziling, former director of the General Staff Operations Department, serves as chief of staff.
According to the plan, the army in this area is divided into four tank armies (currently there are only two mechanized armies and units directly under the cluster) and four motorized infantry armies (currently there are only two motorized infantry armies). They are mainly used to guard the borders with the Far Eastern Republic and the Soviet Union.
area, and also assumes the important task of supporting Japan and the Far East.
In terms of ***, due to the simultaneous response to the Japanese threat in Eastern Siberia, the Far East, the Northeast, Jehol, Chahar and other places, the basic organization has not changed. General Yin Jinan, commander of the military region, will continue to coordinate the operations against the Japanese forces in the Far East and Northeast. According to the plan
, In the next three months, the Northern Army's establishment, which was originally independent from the overall establishment of the Anjia Army, will be reintegrated into the overall establishment of the Anjia Army. The new battle order will be formulated by the General Staff and implemented by Yin Jinan and the Military Commission of the *** Military Region.
Finally, in order to avoid Nanjing's overreaction, the establishment of some domestic front armies, group armies, divisions, etc. will not be changed for the time being, and will be reorganized after future unified planning.
...
Lake Baikal, known as the "North Sea" in ancient China, was China's territory during the Han, Tang, Yuan, Ming and early Qing dynasties. It was taken away by the Russian Empire during the Kangxi and Yongzheng years.
With such a good place to stay, the towns around the lake such as Irkutsk, Ulan-Uda, and Petrovsk soon evolved into the frontiers of the Russian Empire's encroachment on China's Far East, Northeast, and Japan.
Base, industry and economy in the areas along the lake have also developed to a certain extent.
After the founding of the Soviet Union, Lake Baikal has actually become an inland area of the Soviet Union. Unless China takes back the Soviet Union, it will threaten the safety and ownership of Lake Baikal. This is also the reason why the Soviet Union insists on supporting Japan and making it separate from China's territory.
The main purpose is to ensure the absolute safety of the Lake Baikal region and the Siberian Railway.
In the autumn of 1938, the Japanese army that invaded Western Siberia was driven back to the east coast of Lake Baikal by the Anjia Army. Hu Jiyang was ordered to lead the army and maintain the front line at the Hamaldaban Mountains on the south shore of Lake Baikal. Only then did the descendants of Yan and Huang take back the sovereignty of Lake Baikal.
Dawn. According to Sanjiu
In the "Secret Peace Treaty" signed between the South China government and the Soviet Union, Kemirovo, Lake Baikal, the Far East and other places were included in South China's territory. Therefore, in a sense, the current Lake Baikal is already Chinese territory.
, just wait until the *** people are driven out.
The city of Irkutsk is located at the intersection of the Angara River and the Irkutsk River southwest of Lake Baiga. It has a continental climate and a long cold period. It enjoys the "Heart of Siberia" and the "Paris of the East"
, "Pearl of Siberia" and other reputations, the city center and residential areas are connected by natural birch forests. Due to the regulation of Lake Baikal, the average temperature in January is minus 15 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature in July is 19 degrees Celsius in summer, making it a great place to escape the heat.
A great place.
Today's Irkutsk has become the forward base for the Anjia army's counterattack in the Far East and Northeast. With the opening of the railway connecting Erdenet to Gorodok and Slyudanka, Kulen, the capital of the Communist Party of China, has been connected with Irkutsk.
Kutsk is closely connected, transporting grain, ammunition, oil, heavy artillery, supplementary troops, etc. to the frontline troops in a timely manner.
Starting from early morning, the military airport in the north of the city has been heavily guarded with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.
At nine o'clock in the morning, convoys drove into the airport one after another, and it seemed that important people were coming.
A large A6 passenger plane fell from the sky and taxied for a distance on the airport runway before slowly stopping. When Yin Jinan was closing his eyes and considering the purpose of the sporadic shooting incidents that the Japanese army suddenly launched at the border a few days ago, a loud voice was heard.
Ringing in the ears.
"Commander, it's time to get off the plane."
The reminder from the adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Ziyu, interrupted Yin Jinan's thoughts. He turned to look at the scene outside the porthole, nodded slightly, stood up slowly, put on the windbreaker handed by the attendant, took the lead, and strode towards the open door.
Engine hatch.
Walking down the gangway, you are greeted by a row of generals who salute like a mechanical "swish".
Yin Jinan returned the salute and looked around. He saw that the three leading lieutenant generals were the commander of the Baikal Cluster Hu Jiyang, the political commissar He Yifei, and the political commissar of the Central Front Army Tang Honglei. Beyond them were the Baikal Cluster and the reinforcements from the Central Military Commission.
The army commanders and division commanders of the front armies were all neatly dressed, their boots polished, and they looked in high spirits.
"Commander, thank you for your hard work." Hu Jiyang took the lead in extending his hand to Yin Jinan.
"Brothers have worked hard——"
After Yin Jinan finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the temperature was a little low. He subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky and found that the sun was shining brightly. Only then did he realize that this was Irkutsk, a famous summer resort. He immediately took off his gloves and joined the generals.
Shake hands one by one.
"Let's go to the cluster headquarters. By the way, let Major General Liu Yu accompany me. He has been appointed by the chairman as the director of the General Staff Operations Department. I will take him back to Cullen during this trip, and then send a special plane to take him to Xinjing.
"
After Yin Jinan finished speaking, he looked around and saw a young man in his early twenties striding up to Yin Jinan and saluting respectfully.
"What a handsome young man!"
Yin Jinan couldn't help but praise and said: "It is said that times make heroes. When I was your age, I was at least a general, but that was a special historical period. Unexpectedly, under the strict promotion system established by our army,
The fact that you can still be promoted to the chief of staff of the front army so quickly shows your ability! Come on, let's have a good chat."
After saying that, Yin Jinan took Liu Yu's hand and walked towards one of the cars. After the adjutant opened the door, he lowered his head and got in. Hu Jiyang and others had already received the order from the General Staff, so they were not surprised by Yin Jinan's words and looked at each other.
, consciously walked towards other cars, and soon the convoy started and drove out of the airport.
In the car, under Yin Jinan's questioning, Liu Yu told about his situation when he was assigned to the General Staff and followed An Yi during the North China Anti-Japanese War and the Songhu Battle. Yin Jinan nodded repeatedly after listening:
"It can be seen that brother values you very much. It should be of great use to transfer you back this time. Generally speaking, according to our army's promotion habits, after you go back and work for a year or two, you will be at least a lieutenant general and chief of staff when you come out.
At the end of the war, you may be able to be promoted to the rank of general, and your future is bright! I hope you can do your job well and don't embarrass our *** military region!"
Seeing that Liu Yu was still a little shy, Yin Jinan asked again: "What do you think of the Japanese invaders invading the border and making cold shots every day without launching a formal attack?"
"It should be to test our reaction!"
Liu Yu answered confidently: "Now, the Japanese army is constantly deploying troops from its own country to fight in Australia. Under this situation, they are worried that we will take the initiative to launch operations, so they use this method to test the bottom line of our patience. If I
If the prediction is correct, as long as we ignore them, they will actively stop harassing us in a day or two, and then mobilize troops from the Far East to Australia for reinforcements!"
"oh!?"
Yin Jinan's eyes lit up: "You mean, the Japanese dare to mobilize even the troops in the Far East...Why do you think so?"
Liu Yu explained patiently: "For today's ***, due to the emergence of the army and air force with the superiority of our Anjia Army, there is a sense of crisis in both the military and political circles. Compared with Northeast and North China, our army is in a
Under the threat of military fronts, there is also a precedent for our military fighter planes to bomb the mainland of Japan. Australia, which is isolated overseas, is surrounded by the vast sea, and its area is large enough and its resources are rich. It is a good place to recuperate!
"Over the years, the Japanese army has not won against us. Perhaps even the Japanese did not realize it. They have an inexplicable fear of us from the bottom of their hearts, so they are eager to find a way out, and Australia is considered
A treasure land given by God to the Yamato nation. Now I even suspect that the unprecedented plague in Australia two years ago was initiated by the Japanese in order to have fewer obstacles in the military conquest of Australia! "
Yin Jinan saw that some of Liu Yu's ideas coincided with his own, and said with appreciation: "Now I suddenly understand why my elder brother values you so much. You are indeed very talented."
Speaking of this, Yin Jinan stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "In this way, at least there will be no big war this year... In this case, there will still be nearly a year of development time, during which in addition to vigorously building roads
, you can also stock up on ammunition and food as much as possible, so that you will be more confident if you launch a counterattack next spring!"
Liu Yu knew the close relationship between Yin Jinan and An Yi, and looked at the third-ranking figure in the army in front of him with a little awe. He was about to leave the *** Military Region. Regardless of whether Yin Jinan thought about it or not, he decided to give Yin Jinan a warning.
: "Commander, I don't know where you plan to start the counterattack against the Japanese troops entrenched in Eastern Siberia, the Far East and the Northeast?"
Yin Jinan was stunned: "Didn't the General Staff ask us to start from Irkutsk, pass through the Siberian Railway artery, and gradually push the Japanese army into the sea? Is there any problem?"
"This strategy is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the loss of soldiers will be very high!"
Liu Yu said bluntly: "Ulan-Uda, Petrovsk, Chita and other places east of Lake Baikal were occupied by Russia in the early years and built extremely strong fortresses. Later, the Soviet Union reinforced them many times.
If you choose to attack by force, the losses will be huge! Since this journey is so difficult, why not change your thinking?
At this point, Liu Yu raised his voice: "Commander, as far as I know, the industrial development in Northeast China is now almost comparable to that of Japan. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan invested and built factories in Northeast China.
After the September 18th Incident, this trend became more obvious. With the rich iron resources in Northeast China,
Mines and coal resources have been developed, and the Japanese have built perfect railway and highway transportation. On both sides of the Shenyang-Dalian line from Shenyang to Dalian, there are many factory chimneys, and the cities have become one, becoming a world-famous "long industrial zone"
', Shenyang Tiexi District is even known as the 'Oriental Ruhr'.
"If after the war, these areas fall under our control intact, then our industrial level will improve rapidly, which will be of great benefit to us in the future development of Siberia and the Far East! Therefore, we should abandon the counterattack by the Siberian Railway.
Instead, we are looking for a quick road to Liaonan in the southeastern region of *** and decisively choose to attack. As long as we can
After successfully capturing the entire territory of Liaoning, we took the initiative in the battle and then slowly moved from south to north to recover Jilin, Heilongjiang and the Far East. The Japanese army was afraid that their retreat would be cut off, regardless of whether they were in Ulan-Uda, Chita,
No matter how strong the fortresses built in Hailanpao and other places are, we must choose to retreat, so that we can freely choose the time and place of the decisive battle and give the Japanese army a fatal blow!"
Yin Jinan glanced at Liu Yu in surprise, and then fell into deep thought.
