Chapter 677: February Nanjing

readx; There are only a few active generals in China, people can count them on both hands, and all of these active generals are founding generals with outstanding military achievements, and there are not many legends about them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And the head of the four brigade officers said that they were talking about the four officers in the second battalion of Chen Jingyun's family during the Fuzhou Uprising, and the middle and even low-level officers in the old second battalion are all powerful generals now. Two of China's nine current army generals are from the second battalion. They are Ma Cheng, the pipe leader of the second battalion, and Li Lianyang, the former team officer. In addition, there is a posthumously awarded General Feng Qin. Although Feng Qin died of illness in the early years of the Great War in Southern Jiangsu, but as an important general in the early days of the National Army, Chen Jingyun was the instructor of the 38th standard when he started the army, and served as the chief of staff of the National Army after the uprising, and after the establishment of the National Army Headquarters, he served as the chief of staff.

In addition, there is a tradition of the dead in China, and Chen Jingyun has always treated the Feng family very favorably.

The domestic military has always respected Feng Qin very much. After the reunification in 1915, Feng Qin was posthumously awarded the rank of army general, and he was also the only person to be posthumously awarded the rank of general after his death.

In addition, several other important officers of the old second battalion are now all prominent in status, and there are five or six lieutenant generals, including Lin Chengkun, the supervisor of the second battalion, Chen Weihua, the officer of the right team, Lin Feitai, the officer of the rear team, and Zhuang Dafu, the officer of the left team.

These people who first followed Chen Jingyun to raise troops can be regarded as the most senior, and at the same time, they are also the most trusted by Chen Jingyun during the National Army.

In fact, Li Lianyang was already a lieutenant general during the civil war, but his reputation is still slightly inferior to those well-known domestic generals Shen Gang , Zuo Yugang and others. What really made him a household name in China was that in the Sino-Chinese War in 1923, he served as the commander of the Eighth Army and led the Eighth Army to coordinate with Zuo Yugang's armored cluster, which took North Korea. His performance in the war was greatly praised by other generals of the domestic military, who called him the second general with the demeanor of a general after Shen Gang in the Chinese Army.

Shen Gang's level of strategic command has been tested by the civil war, and he is known as China's premier strategic military strategist, and he served as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater during the war in mid-1923, planning and winning the war that year.

And other high-ranking generals in the Chinese army, even the famous Zuo Yugang, cannot be called a strategic military strategist, although Zuo Yugang's performance in commanding the Ninth Division during the Civil War and commanding the armored group in the Chinese War left others speechless, and he is also recognized as a famous general in the army, but no one has ever said that he is a strategic military strategist. Most of them call him a famous general, a fierce general, or something like that.

On the contrary, although Li Lianyang, who fought steadily, did not have too dazzling performances, he never even commanded a surprise attack or fought a bitter battle in his life. But he has never been defeated, and every time he has won relatively easily, but this speaks volumes about his commanding skills. Concentrate their greatest advantage to fight the enemy's inferior forces, this is the royal way to victory, those tricky examples can not be copied, can only show a general's on-the-spot command level, at most is a general, but a handsome talent can not be like this, as the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands, the most important thing is to arrange the troops safely and properly, and achieve victory at the easiest price.

This is why Li Lianyang and Zuo Yugang are both generals who have been promoted in recent years, and Li Lianyang was sent to Korea to serve as the commander of the First Group Army.

After assuming the post of commander of the First Group Army, Li Lianyang played an extremely high strategic level against a series of offensives of the First Army, from sending the First Armored Army to rapidly advance and then using the hundreds of thousands of troops of the First Group Army to encircle and annihilate the First Army, which is enough to prove that he is not weaker than Shen Gang's level in strategic command.

"The First Army has already occupied a dominant position in Korea, and after the destruction of the First Army, it can only rely on Pyongyang to make a stubborn resistance, and the Pyongyang direction says, 'The strength of the Third Army is far less than ours, and the First Army taking Pyongyang is already a matter of waiting!'" Shen Gang was in Chen Jingyun's office, once again reporting on the battle ahead.

Chen Jingyun nodded, he was very satisfied with the Anzhou station, although he also paid a lot of price, but being able to annihilate the first army of the main force of the Yue army in one battle was enough to lay a strategic advantage on the Korean battlefield.

"However, the consumption on the side of the First Army is not small, and it should be impossible to launch an offensive on the Pyongyang defense line in a short period of time, and the front-line troops now need time to rest and recuperate to replenish ammunition, supplies and soldiers." Chen Yi, who had just returned from the Korean battlefield, said the same.

Lieutenant General Chen Yi is currently the deputy commander of the First Group Army, and after the Anzhou Campaign, he returned to Nanjing on a special plane to prepare to personally report to Chen Jingyun on the Korean war.

"The loss of front-line troops will be replenished in China, but the offensive on the front line cannot be stopped!" Chen Jingyun said: "'Ben's country has already carried out a nationwide mobilization, and their mobilized troops are increasing day by day, if they are given enough time, they will be able to make a large number of replenishments from North Korea!" ”

After the start of the war, it was said that "in the process of mobilizing the existing standing divisions and regiments into a wartime state, the names of new divisions and regiments were also established." And a steady stream of supplements to North Korea. Although the navy also intercepted the reinforcements to Korea and achieved certain results, the overall effect was not great.

Although the Chinese Navy won a brilliant victory in the naval battle last month, it still did not have enough strength to completely block the Tsushima Strait, and could only send submarines and high-speed formations to carry out a small-scale blockade, which was far from achieving the effect of completely blocking the Tsushima Strait. The Chinese Navy also did not dare to risk a large-scale decisive battle between the main fleet in the coastal waters of the two sides, so it is unlikely that a large-scale naval battle in the far sea will break out between the two sides, and only small battles will break out from time to time.

After hearing this, Chen Yi said: "But now the damage of the First Armored Army and the Fourteenth Army is not small, and if we continue to launch an offensive rashly, I am afraid it will be ......."

In order to encircle and annihilate the First Army, the Chinese First Army concentrated the First Armored Army, the Fourteenth Army, and the Seventeenth Army, and later successively invested the Eighth Army and the Sixth Army. The losses of the Eighth Army and the Sixth Army, which were added later, were not large, but the First Panzer Army and the Fourteenth Army, which had always been fighting at the forefront, suffered relatively large losses.

In the Battle of Anzhou, although China eliminated more than 100,000 troops of the First Army, its own losses were not small, the First Panzer Army lost more than 100 tanks, and the 14th Army also lost nearly 20,000 troops after two months of fierce fighting, among which the 47th Division, which was the first to enter Korea and has been used as the main force, suffered heavy casualties, and its full 18,000 division suffered casualties of more than 8,000 people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the 47th Division was disabled, but although the 47th Division suffered heavy casualties, the 47th Division's combat exploits were also outstanding, and the division commander, Major General Tang Qiang, was already praised by many high-ranking generals, and even the most prominent among the many high-ranking generals in the Korean army.

After the Battle of Anzhou, the 47th Division stayed in Anzhou to recuperate, taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Qiang also returned to China with Chen Yi and was received by Chen Jingyun.

And Li Lianyang on the side of the First Army had already suggested that Tang Qiang be appointed commander of the Eighth Army. The original commander of the Eighth Army performed mediocre in the battle, which made Li Lianyang on the front line very dissatisfied, and even sent Lieutenant General Chen Yi, deputy commander of the First Group Army, to the Eighth Army for direct command. And Tang Qiang's outstanding performance in the Battle of Anzhou made Tang Qiang truly enter the sight of the domestic army and military bosses for the first time.

The major generals of the army say too much, and they say too little, and there are nearly 1,000 people in total, and it is not easy to stand out among so many people and be valued by military bigwigs.

However, Chen Jingyun also has concerns about the change of generals in wartime, and the appointment of senior generals in the military is routine, not that it can be changed casually. At least since the beginning of the war, Chen Jingyun has not changed even a single division commander, and if there is no big accident, these division commanders will rarely be replaced in the war.

The commander of the Eighth Army, although his performance was mediocre, was not clearly derelict in his duties. And the reason why his performance is mediocre is that he is compared with other outstanding generals on the battlefield, and it is not bad when it comes to the vast majority of lieutenant generals in the domestic military.

Everyone else performed well, but he was the only one who performed averagely, which is why Li Lianyang was so dissatisfied.

Chen Jingyun had concerns, which naturally made it impossible for Tang Qiang to be promoted in wartime, and if he wanted to be promoted, he would have to wait for a while.

Chen Yi, Tang Qiang and others did not stay in Nanjing for too long, and after reporting the military situation to Chen Jingyun, they soon took the air force plane to North Korea again to prepare for the next offensive of the First Army.

The military has won a great victory in Anju on the Korean battlefield, and the country naturally wants to do a good job of publicity, and the first few days ago, it was still in the secrecy period, and it did not say much, but some gossip circulated, and on 1 February, the State Military Commission officially announced the relevant situation of the Anju Campaign.

When the Chinese and foreign reporters present learned that the Chinese troops had won a great victory on the Korean battlefield and annihilated more than 100,000 people, they were all shocked.

The Chinese reporters present were naturally ecstatic, while some foreign reporters were shocked, and no matter what they thought, the news of Anzhou's victory quickly spread through telegrams and newspapers.

The people in China once again enthusiastically took to the streets to celebrate, and those big newspapers abroad also reported the relevant news for the first time.

Nanjing in February, surrounded by an atmosphere of victory!
