There are two conference rooms at the Saibei Military Command Academy, one large and one small, the larger one can hold a meeting with more than 100 people at the same time, and the small one is relatively small and can only accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time. Han Yunhua saw that there were really a lot of people accompanying the chairman and others to inspect, and there were almost more than 60 members of the central working group plus the escorts of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region, and the small conference room would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people, so Han Yunhua brought these people to the large conference room.

The speed of the academy was still very fast, and when Han Yunhua and the others arrived, the academy was ready. In fact, there is nothing to prepare, that is, prepare some water cups, tea leaves and boiling water. But being able to arrange all these things properly in such a short period of time is still very satisfying to Han Yunhua.

This large conference room was built and decorated by Han Yunhua based on the medium-sized conference room held in later generations, with a rostrum on the top, a stepped hall on the bottom, and a podium on the far left in the middle. As the actual leader, the chairman must sit on the rostrum, in order is Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Han Yunhua, Zuo Quan, Shen Yiquan, and the rest are all sitting below.

Because he wanted to answer the question of the strength of the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region, Han Yunhua walked to the podium after everyone was seated, naturally bowed to the rostrum and the people under the stage, and then said loudly: "Speaking of the issue of the combat effectiveness of the troops, summing up the experience of leading the troops in the past seven or eight years, I think we have to proceed from the guiding ideology of our party, we are a political party that believes in Marxism, and the methodology under the universal principles of Marxism is to guide us in exploring ways and means to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. I believe that the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot be achieved overnight, it is a gradual process, a process of quantitative change to qualitative change. There are two conditions for quantitative change to qualitative change, the first is the accumulation of quantity, and the second is that both internal and external conditions are met. Therefore, I also believe that the improvement of the combat effectiveness of our troops should also proceed in this way, and I believe that the accumulation of troops is to improve the physical fitness of the soldiers, and at the same time, it is necessary to arm the minds of the soldiers while improving their physical fitness. ”

Speaking of this, Han Yunhua slowed down, and then said: "Comrades chiefs, the backbone of the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops is still people, and everything is people-oriented. I would like to ask you here, what kind of troops can be called jīng sharp troops? ”

The chairman looked at Han Yunhua on the podium, and then at all the cadres under the stage, got up and said: "Comrades, the issue of the combat effectiveness of the troops has always been a key point of exploration by our party and our army, and in terms of improving the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region has undoubtedly gone ahead of us, so today's temporary meeting should be regarded as a big discussion on how to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. The chairman paused and then continued: "I believe that a strong fighting force is, first and foremost, a force that serves the people wholeheartedly, and is a real people's army. Second, this army must be a steel force that must win and conquer, and cannot be dragged down and defeated. I think that such a force can be called jīng rui, and it is also a strong cornerstone that supports the Chinese nation. ”

Compared with the chairman's speech, Commander-in-Chief Zhu was much more concise: "The army is invincible and invincible, and everything in the army must rely on the results of the army." ”

……………

……………

Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their own standards for the Jīng Rui troops. Seeing that there were fewer people who were gradually speaking, Han Yunhua spoke: "Comrades, now it seems that everyone has their own opinions on what kind of troops are the real jīng Rui troops, first of all, our internal opinions are not very unified, so I am here for the time being to give a definition of jīng Rui, of course, you can also disagree with my definition, but everyone listen to my opinion first, I think the jīng Rui troops are them." Saying that, Han Yunhua pointed to a few members of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region who acted as guards at the entrance of the conference room, and then Han Yunhua continued: "I think they are the Jīng Rui Army, I don't know if you agree with my statement?" ”

"Commander, I agree with your statement, the special combat team is indeed worthy of the honorary title of the Jīng Rui Force, but you also know that there are only more than 1,000 people in the special combat team, and they do not represent the entire strength of our Inner Méng Ancient Military Region, and it cannot explain the overall combat effectiveness of our Inner Méng Ancient Military Region." This time it was Chen Geng, commander of the 77th Independent Division of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region, who spoke. ,

Han Yunhua smiled and said, "What Division Commander Chen said is very reasonable, it is true that the special combat team only has about 1,000 people, accounting for a very small part of all the troops in the entire military region. However, no one can deny the conclusion that the special combat team of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region is a Jīng Rui unit, which is a fact that I can refute. The main reason why I want to talk about the Jīng Rui Force is to let all people have a more intuitive feeling about the Jīng Rui Force. Not to mention our **Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, let's take the 74th Army, the 18th Army, and the Fifth Army, which are trumpeted by the National Civil Affairs Fǔ, but I don't think that these troops advertised by the National Civil Affairs Fǔ are the Jīng Rui Army. ”

Han Yunhua's conclusion is indeed amazing, in this era, whether it is the chairman or others, they have a relatively clear understanding of the troops of the National People's Government. Although the chairman and others hated Chiang Kai-shek's perverse behavior, especially the betrayal of Chiang Kai-shek himself during the Great ** period, which directly led to the breakdown of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the failure of China's Great **. But no matter what, almost all the ** military cadres will not deny the statement that these troops under the command of the National People's Government are Jīng Rui troops. The information of the main force of the National People's Government is relatively clear, so they are also very surprised by this conclusion that Han Yunhua said.

Han Yunhua also knew that his remarks were a little shocking, but this was the effect he wanted, and seeing the buzz on and off the stage, Han Yunhua's face smiled. Regardless of whether the chairman and others admit it or not, Han Yunhua is still very clear about a very important problem facing the development of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the Eighth Route Army lacks a kind of courage from top to bottom relative to the national government. Although the units of the Eighth Route Army were full of vigor and vigor and were also unyielding in their battles against Japan, the vast majority of the battles were petty battles. It may be right from the perspective of the chairman and others, but in the position of Han Yunhua, the conservative influence of the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army on the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region is very important.

In the eyes of a large part of the senior leaders of the Eighth Route Army, the only ones that could compete with the Japanese army's sharp troops on the Chinese battlefield were those under the command of the Nationalist Government, the most important of which were the 74th Army, the 18th Army, and the Fifth Army.

However, even these troops continued to lose battles, which made many cadres discourage the idea of a large-scale battle with the Japanese army. In their opinion, they can't even be the main force of the national government, and aren't they delivering food to the Japanese with these broken guns?

However, Han Yunhua knows that the current Eighth Route Army is definitely not comparable to the Eighth Route Army in history, and the total strength of the Eighth Route Army in history is not even the average strength of the current one, and although the weapons and equipment have improved a lot compared with 37 years, they are still called huāzi troops. As far as Han Yunhua knows, there are more than a dozen all-day armament regiments of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and with the support of Han Yunhua, all units of the Eighth Route Army have carried out a large-scale rearmament, although Han Yunhua did not support much weapons and equipment in the Eighth Route Army Headquarters this time, but it has been fought for them for a long time. And this change of equipment should be more accurately called adjustment, that is, the weapons of the troops with mixed caliber models have been unified, so that the people are still those people and the guns are still those guns, but the combat effectiveness of the troops has been improved.

Therefore, Han Yunhua believes that the Eighth Route Army can no longer be conservative now, and with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it can fully cooperate with the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region and the Japanese army to fight a large-scale battle, and if the Eighth Route Army continues to fight a small battle, it will seriously affect Han Yunhua's plan, so it is necessary to let the chairman and others clearly understand their strength.

Han Yunhua motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Comrades, some people are clear about the national affairs fǔ force I just mentioned, some people are not clear, and some people have heard of it but do not understand it, so I will briefly talk about the situation of the five main forces of the national civil affairs fǔ. The Kuomintang claims to be a four-million-strong army, but in fact there are not many of them that can be seen by the Japanese army, and the 74th Army, the 18th Army, and the Fifth Army that I just mentioned are the most feared by the Japanese army. The 74th Army of the National ** Army is the "Imperial Forest Army" of the National People's Political Fǔ, and the representative figures are Wang Yaowu and Zhang Lingfu. The 74th Army was formed in Zhejiang on September 1, 1937, by the combination of Wang Yaowu's 51st Division and Yu Jishi's 58th Division, with a total of 8 regiments and 21,000 people. This bizarre combination of the Zhejiang security team, the former Shandong Beiyang Provincial Army and the 1st Division of the Central Army is the most brilliant unit in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese army is also deeply in awe of the ace troops in this **, and refers to the 51st Division, 57th Division, and 58th Division under its jurisdiction as the "35th Army", all of which start with 5. In the Battle of Nanchang, even if the army was defeated, the army still did not change its heroic and heroic anti-Japanese iron army. He has twice won the highest honor of the Military Commission - the Flying Tiger Banner, once the No. 1 martial arts certificate of the National People's Government, and even the US military advisory group has the praise of "China only the 74th Army can fight", and no one is better than the right. ”,

"The 18th Army of the National ** Army, a pillar force of the civil engineering department, is represented by famous generals such as Chen Cheng and Hu Lian. The 18th Army of the National ** Army is the pillar of the civil engineering department, and it can also be said to be Chen Cheng's starting capital, Chen Cheng Military Group is also known as the "civil engineering department" in the word "soil" that represents the 18th Army's backbone 11th division, "wood" represents the 18th Army, and the famous generals of the 18th Army include Luo Zhuoying, Huang Wei, Fang Tian, Hu Lian, etc. The 18th Army is the earliest and longest history of the five main forces, and has repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the warlord Hún War, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War. The most famous battle is the tug-of-war of Songhu Luodian, when the 18th Army was the enemy of the 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Shigen lasted nearly a month, and the Japanese army fought for this projectile land, and thousands of people died in the battle, and the entire Luodian was bloody, which was called "the bloody mill" by the Japanese army. Like the 74th Army, the 18th Army, as an ace army, had strict military discipline. The 18th Army has successively produced five first-class generals, four chiefs of staff, two commanders-in-chief of the Navy, one commander-in-chief of the Air Force, one commander-in-chief of the Logistics Union, and more than 20 army commanders, ranking first among the five main forces. ”

"The 5th Army of the National ** Army, represented by Du Yuming and Qiu Qingquan. When it comes to the 5th Army, we must first talk about the famous 200 Division, which was formerly known as the Chariot Battalion directly under the National Civil Affairs and Military Committee, and in March 1937, the battalion and the 2nd Regiment Armored Automobile Team of the Jiāo General Army were reorganized into the Armored Corps, with Du Yuming as the commander and under the direct command of the Ministry of Military Affairs. In January 1938, the regiment was expanded to the 200th Division (five regiments, more than 20,000 people), and the former regiment commander Du Yuming served as the first division commander of the division, which was the first mechanized division in China and was under the direct command of the Military Commission. In November, the division was expanded into the new 11th Army, which was later known as the 5th Army, and Dai Anlan succeeded him as the commander of the 200th Division, which was also the most famous. After the Fifth Army was formed, Du Yuming put forward the idea that "the field is the battlefield" and "sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime", and demanded that the Fifth Army have the vigor of "five divisions" (except arrogance, laziness, hypocrisy, yù, and evil) and "three habits" (Xi jīng, sincerity, and diligence). In March 1939, the 5th Army participated in the review of the whole team and was selected as the first in the country by the Chongqing Military Commission in the military assessment that year. The army's tactics are changeable, the best at it, is not blasting but artillery fire, and the infantry and artillery are closely coordinated, the attack generally adopts multi-echelon in-depth equipment, and charges in dense formations, and the attack time is often chosen at dawn and noon, and it is often used in the mountains to attack and detour in multiple ways (such as the battle of eastern Henan to relieve the siege of Huang Baitao), and the frontal attack is mostly used in the plains and villages, and the central breakthrough is used. ”

"Comrades, the information I just mentioned is top-secret information collected by the Intelligence Department of the Ancient Military Region of Méng, and there is no adulteration in the slightest, and all the information is true. Therefore, regardless of the differences in ideology and political beliefs, we cannot deny the merits of the officers and soldiers of the five main forces and their commanders Zhang Lingfu, Qiu Qingquan, Wang Yaowu, Hu Lian and others on the frontal battlefield. But if they are comprehensively speaking, they can't be called jīng rui, because in the strict sense of the word, jīng rui troops can not only have outstanding combat results. Whether a unit can be called jīng rui should be comprehensively looked at from the combat effectiveness and ideological level. Based on their achievements, these troops can barely be regarded as jīng rui, but these troops still lack one thing that becomes a real jīng rui, that is, the military soul. An army should not only be able to fight, but all the soldiers should know why they are fighting. Although I do not deny that there are officers and soldiers in these troops who really fight for the country and the nation, the ** of the national government is well known, and the bad atmosphere in the troops is also very strong, and the vast majority of soldiers fight for the sake of fighting, and they do not know what they are fighting for. What is even more distressing is that under the rule of Chiang Kai-shek, the dignified Chinese National Army, China's national defense force, became Chiang Kai-shek's protector. That's why there were so many Kuomintang prisoners and the puppet army turned into Kuomintang prisoners, so I don't think there was a jīng rui in the strict sense of the word among the troops of the Kuomintang Civil Affairs Fǔ, only the more combat-effective guardians. In this passage, Han Yunhua is talking about generosity and iron.

As soon as Han Yunhua's words fell, the entire conference room remembered the warm applause.

However, Han Yunhua's words are also very dangerous, after all, this is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and in order to maintain the national united front, the chairman and others have to say something, so the chairman got up and said: "What Comrade Han Yunhua said also has a certain truth, but now we and the national government are grasshoppers tied to a rope and are friendly forces. So it's okay to say this internally, but don't talk about it to the outside world. At the same time, today everyone does not have to take notes, today everyone can listen with their ears. ”,

As soon as the chairman sat down, Vice Chairman Zhou got up and asked, "Comrade Yunhua, according to what you say, don't we have a jīng sharp army on the entire Chinese battlefield?" Then what do you think of the troops of our Eighth Route Army? ”

Han Yunhua thought for a while and said, "It's not like this, there is a real Jīng Rui unit on the battlefield in China, and that is the troops of our Inner Méng Ancient Military Region. Leaders, don't think that I am talking nonsense here, or that I am a princess selling melons and boasting, I have a basis for saying this. I think that a real jīng sharp army must meet the requirements from the inside out, and the external conditions of the troops of the national government fǔ can indeed be called jīng rui, but their internal conditions are insufficient. However, there are two units in our Inner Méng Ancient Military Region that barely meet this standard, the first is the integrated 300th Division, and the second is the independent 77th Division led by Comrade Chen Geng. These two troops have reached an astonishing level in terms of weapons and equipment and the military quality of their soldiers, and their records can be called jīng sharp. My evaluation of the Eighth Route Army is like this, the Eighth Route Army is a non-JĪNG Rui army that has the conditions to become a JĪNG Rui Army, how to explain this sentence, in the final analysis, I still don't think that the Eighth Route Army is a real JĪNG Rui Army, including the 115th Division and the 129th Division and other veteran troops. Then Han Yunhua continued: "Maybe I say this very shockingly, and it will offend many people, but we must look at the problem and seek truth from facts, otherwise we will lose our people." Although the Eighth Route Army is not a real Jīng Rui Army, it is gratifying that the Eighth Route Army has one of the prerequisites for becoming a whole Jīng Rui Army, first of all, the jīng god of our Eighth Route Army soldiers is in good condition, which is not comparable to the troops of the National People's Government, most of our soldiers are from poor people, so they all know what they are fighting for, which is particularly valuable. Although the development of the Eighth Route Army was limited by our level of training, weapons and equipment, as well as the quality of our officers, the thinking of the soldiers was the most fundamental and the most difficult to change relative to these things. As long as our weapons and equipment are improved, and the quality of the officers themselves can keep up, then after a short period of running-in, the Eighth Route Army can definitely become a real jīng sharp. ”
