The newly formed 71st Army successfully withstood the Japanese attack for three days and three nights. However, when the reinforcements arrived, there were only more than 30,000 soldiers left in the army, and both Hu Weidong and Su Yu knew the battlefield on the northern front.
What does it mean? Almost all available field troops on hand were dispatched at once. The three main commanders of the 15th Army
The force rushed to the battlefield first, and then Fu Zuoyi's troops ended their suppression of bandits in the mountains and went south to provide support. Even the Japanese commander, who had always been used as a surprise force, rarely participated in frontal combat. In such a large Shandong base, only Hu Lian was left.
The Marine Division, the only field force that has just been expanded into a reorganized division
If you include the 71st Army, which is in urgent need of repair and replenishment, the 15th Group Army has unprecedentedly invested more than 200,000 troops in the northern battlefield. Such a scale of offensive immediately caused great controversy within the party and the army. After all, it is
Everyone knows that the casualties in a fortified battle are huge, especially since this battle is not to conquer a big city, and the direct benefits are not very large. Therefore, the Red Party, which has always been accustomed to "fight only when it is cheap", generally finds it difficult to understand this. But Hu Weidong
to zhong
The telegram sent by Yang clearly pointed out that once the Japanese army consolidated the Lunan defense line, the Japanese could allocate their forces to march westward, and west of Weishan Lake were undefeable plains, and the Lanfeng defense line was stationed
One hundred thousand** is basically
It is impossible to withstand the all-out attack of at least 200,000 to 300,000 Japanese troops. Once Lanfeng is lost, Zhengzhou will inevitably be unable to be protected. At that time, the Western Henan Industrial Zone will be directly threatened, and it may even destroy everyone's construction achievements in the past two years.
And if the devil
If they seize the arsenal in western Henan and the oil fields in Nanyang, the consequences will be even more disastrous. Rather than waiting for the Japanese army to advance westward and then react passively, it is better to take the initiative. As long as the Lincheng-Zaozhuang line can be captured, it will be enough to impose a large force on Xuzhou.
of
The pressure makes the Japanese dare not divide their troops. As for the problem of high consumption in position attack, objectively it does exist, but with the development of industry in the border areas and the expansion of base areas, when necessary, the 15th Group Army is no longer completely unable to fight as before.
consumed
After receiving this telegram.zhong
Several Yang leaders expressed their own opinions, and most of them had objections to the battle plan formulated by Hu Weidong. However, Taizu once again expressed his firm support for Hu Weidong. He even proposed a more advanced plan based on Hu Weidong's original plan.
A grand strategic plan, "The battle reports sent by the 15th Group Army in the past two days are encouraging. If this battle plan can be successful, then the balance of power between the two sides in the East China battlefield will change greatly, and the timing of the strategic decisive battle will
Already appeared!"
"A great man is a great man. I only thought of one war zone. But what he saw was the war situation across the country." Hu Weidong couldn't help but sigh after reading the telegram sent by Zhong Yang. But at the same time, he was also deeply inspired and immediately sent a telegram to
zhong
Yang promised, "No matter how high the price is, the 15th Army will definitely capture the Weishan Lake-Canal-Canal Town line and completely confine the Xuzhou Japanese Army in a small triangular area west of the canal, in order to completely annihilate the Japanese army in Central China."
Dispatch the main force of the army to clear the obstacles!" Zhang Hao, secretary of the Central Plains Bureau who stayed in Luoyang, also told Zhong Yang that he would immediately launch a general mobilization in the western Henan border area where the construction of the militia system was first started.
"Is this bad? There are only 18 million people in the western Henan Province. If we really want to mobilize 600,000 troops, won't the burden on the base area be too great? Moreover, these recruits may not have much combat effectiveness. The fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign that year
We have been forced to do this before. Everyone knows the result." After listening to the telegram, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but frowned.
When the great man heard this, he flicked his cigarette ashes and said with a smile, "Indeed, in those days,
After the ratio of soldiers to civilians in the Yang Soviet Area exceeded 1:50, the economy of the base area was unable to bear it, and the combat effectiveness of the new recruits was also very problematic. But Xiao Hu talked about this problem with me as early as the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. According to him, most of the great powers were economically disadvantaged.
can withstand a ratio of 1:20 or even 1:10 between soldiers and civilians. Because they have a high degree of industrialization and labor
Productivity is high, so they can maintain a higher proportion of unemployed people. Moreover, because of the perfect reserve system of the great powers, many civilians have received a certain degree of military training before joining the army. Therefore, even if there is a substantial expansion, the military quality of officers and soldiers will not decrease to the same extent.
It will be too big. And according to the telegram sent by Comrade Yuying before, the current western Henan has
There are three million industrial workers (including low-skilled workers in construction and state-owned farms), and the urban population exceeds five million. Although there is still a gap compared with Western countries, it is not far behind Japan (
Note 1), considering that there is still a gap in literacy rate for the time being, overall it should be equivalent to Japan, so the 1:30 ratio is maintained.
The ratio of civilians to civilians will not be a big problem. As for the combat effectiveness of the recruits, there is no need to worry. According to Comrade Yuying’s report, the total number of militiamen in western Henan alone exceeds three million, and there are also 40 semi-full-time basic militiamen.
Thousands of people, in addition to the local garrison and armed police who are completely off-duty, the total number is no less than 100,000..."
After talking for a while, the great man became more and more chatting and laughing, "Actually, at the beginning, Zhong
The poor combat effectiveness of the Red Army recruits in the Yang Soviet area was mainly due to the lack of bullet training. At that time, even the regular troops only had a few bullets per person on average, let alone the militia and Red Guards. I remember that the militia training at that time was just to practice postures, and they could shoot in a year.
One or two rounds of live ammunition is already very lucky, and according to Yuying, the western Henan border area used 150 million rounds of ammunition in militia training in the first half of this year alone."
"The consumption of bullets is actually more than that of our Eighth Route Army? Why didn't I know this?" Although Mr. Zhu is a broad-minded elder, when he heard this, he was in disgrace to the Central Plains Border District Xiangzhong.
When Yang reports on this year's work, everyone will definitely be able to see it." Taizu quickly explained, and took the opportunity to clarify his concept again, "Compared with training the existing regular troops, the construction of the militia is more important. We in China
The industry is weak and agriculture is backward. If we cannot even take advantage of the large land mass and large population, how can we drive away the foreign powers, including the Japanese invaders, and win national independence and national independence?"
Note 1: On the one hand, the investment is huge and efficient. On the other hand, efforts have been made to popularize education for several years. The quick method of skilled workers has achieved miraculous results. However, the main reason is that more than 100 people have been rescued from occupied cities since the Anti-Japanese War.
With a population of 10,000 and a total of more than 200,000 to 300,000 returned overseas Chinese young people, almost all of them are concentrated here.
Here, the proportion of educated people among the former was much higher than that of most rural areas in China at that time, and almost all of the overseas Chinese young people had a junior high school education or above. In a sense, this was almost equivalent to concentrating the country's efforts on construction.
Half of the province is similar to the situation in Taiwan after the founding of New China in history. It’s strange that the effect is not obvious.
