Recalling the problems he encountered when the Northeast Confrontation Federation was reorganized, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "At that time, when the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army were reorganized, with the full support of the commander-in-chief and the two army commanders personally in charge, they did not cause any trouble."

"But the integration of the First Route Army and the Third Route Army has always been a bit scratching. Even the Seventh Army within the Second Route Army caused a lot of incidents when it was gathered into unified command, adjusted its establishment, and disrupted the use of cadres. Even some cadres at the division level of the Third Route Army only wanted supplies from us and ammunition and equipment when they were withdrawn to the Xiajiang base area to recuperate. ”

"When it comes to compression, you even slap the table with me. This is especially true for those cadres who came from the mountain and forest teams. In the end, the living environment continued to deteriorate, and the troops were scattered and could only be eaten by the enemy in one bite. The problem was solved because many troops were scattered and guerrilla attacks were scattered, and it was difficult for them to survive. ”

"The long and arduous guerrilla warfare has made some unit leaders accustomed to fighting on their own. A superior suddenly came to the top of this head, saying that he wanted to unify the command of the whole group, but in fact, he found a mother-in-law for you, and it was uncomfortable to change anyone. Although some units in the Guannai region have a very strong guerrilla habit, they are much better in this regard than the original Anti-Japanese Alliance. ”

"At the very least, there is no problem in obeying the command and the order resolutely. Although it is also in the situation of scattered guerrillas, it can gather and disperse. When needed, the superior gave an order, and he did not frown when he broke into the sword mountain and the sea of fire. Hard, hard, there is no problem. ”

"Even in order to survive, no matter how far they run or how scattered they are, they still remember their mission and what kind of troops they are. At the sound of an order, they will be able to return to the team immediately. The boss does not hide his flaws, and his advantages are his advantages, and we cannot look at the advantages of our cadres because of some shortcomings. ”

"As for changing guerrilla habits, we can't do it by removing one or two cadres from their posts. Now our troops have these problems, and we can't blame our cadres. I still say that the board can't all hit our grassroots cadres. ”

"I don't think it's a good thing that these problems are happening now. It also exposes some weaknesses of our troops, as well as some signs that are not so good. It is much better to expose these problems early than later. The sooner it is exposed, the sooner we can solve the problem and avoid greater unnecessary losses. ”

"Boss, I think the remaining troops of the Jinsui Military Region who are now fighting with us should not withdraw from the battlefield. For the time being, we will first withdraw to the territory of Youyu and adjust the mentality of the troops. In particular, the mentality of military and political commanders at all levels must be well adjusted. They are all old bones, and their overall situation and ability are not bad. As long as they are adjusted, I think these cadres will play the role that their superiors expect them to play. ”

"After the acting commander rushed to the north of Jin, with this respected old chief personally in charge, I think that the battlefield rectification can still play a role. As for the decision of the main force of the Jinsui Military Region to return to the division, I support it, and I asked Chen Hanzhang to mobilize a special train to go to Baotou immediately. Two engineering companies were immediately dispatched to clean up and inspect the railway line from Baotou to Datong. ”

"Boss, I have to say that the enemy work and mass work of the brother troops in Kannai have been done too well. Under such difficult circumstances, the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment did a very good job in the underground work in the western section of the Pingsui Line. The Chinese employees of the entire railway, without even mobilizing, took the initiative to assist our army in transportation. ”

"According to the current situation of the main force of the Jinsui Military Region being distributed on the front line of Baotou, I think that the main force can be withdrawn from the front line of Baotou within two or three days. As long as the main force of the Jinsui Military Region is withdrawn, the current situation of empty troops in the northwest of Shanxi can be effectively alleviated. ”

For the admiration that Yang Zhen couldn't hide in his tone, the boss shook his head, but didn't say anything. These things are not something that can be explained clearly in a while, and if you want to know more about it, even the boss is not very clear. The enemy engineering departments in each base area have their own set of methods. In this kind of matter, the central government has only issued a standard.

After thinking about it, the boss turned the topic to the battlefield in northern Jin: "Comrade Yang Zhen, the reinforcements of the Japanese army have now arrived in North China one after another. With the arrival of reinforcements from the Japanese army, in the face of the development and changes of the new form, our army is bound to have an adjustment in the entire war situation in North China. The troops of our army's southern Hebei Military Region have already arrived at the battlefield, and the troops of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region are fighting hard to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese army in the southeast of Shanxi. ”

At the same time, the troops of the Taiyue Military Region have also completed their assembly. It can be said that in Shanxi, with the exception of Shandong and the New Fourth Army in Central China, almost the main force and elite troops of our army are concentrated. That is, as the battle progresses, more and more troops will be invested by our army. ”

"Now the entire Jinbei Campaign, no, it should be said that the entire Shanxi battle is fought, the solution of the cooperation of troops inside and outside the Guan, what new ideas do you have, take advantage of this rare opportunity, all say it at once, we can study and solve it."

Regarding the boss's question, Yang Zhen pondered for a while and said, "I have an idea." There is just a problem that is not easy to solve now. The battlefield in northern Shanxi was actually only one of the main battlefields of the Shanxi operation. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the frontal battlefield among the two major domestic battlefields. ”

"Since the various base areas of our army on both sides of the Tongpu Railway have now been fully mobilized, they are actually equivalent to guerrilla battlefields behind enemy lines. The small Shanxi battlefield is actually a matter of cooperation between the two major battlefields. It is precisely this aspect of the problem that should be urgently addressed at the moment. ”

"The key to effectively combining this frontal battlefield with the guerrilla battlefield behind enemy lines, and how to effectively combine the two major battlefields, depends on what this brain should do. How to make use of the current changes, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses of the two theaters, cooperate with each other and respond to the battle. ”

"Boss, I don't advocate that our army has rushed to the Shanxi battlefield, or the troops that are rushing here, all of them have been invested in northern Shanxi. There is no need to say that the entire northern part of Jin, including the current situation in the northwest of Shanxi, cannot afford to supply such troops. Grain alone can completely drag down the entire northwest and Beiyue districts of Shanxi. ”

"My Jianyì is still dominated by the Anti-Japanese Union in the battlefield of northern Jin, after all, with our equipment, it is still necessary to bear the burden of gnawing bones. In addition to the transfer of Jinsui and Jinchaji, which are now in the northern Jin battlefield, and where the anti-coalition forces are insufficient, to ensure the control of each pass on the inner Great Wall, and to serve as a guard and cover task. ”

"However, the troops that are drawn out must have a certain degree of frontal combat capability. As soon as the Japanese army made a detour through the troops, they pounced on that pass, trying to detour the flank of our army. They must be able to slow down the penetration of the Japanese army, weaken the interspersed strength of the Japanese army, and buy time for the movement of troops in the rear. ”

"The rest of the main forces, regardless of the military region, as long as they participated in the battle in the Shanxi battlefield, spread along the entire line on both sides of the Tongpu Railway, and adopted large-scale sabotage and harassment warfare against the rear of the Japanese army. Cut off the logistical supply lines of the Japanese army and strike at his small forces. Tongguò pinned down its logistical supply lines and dispersed part of the Japanese army's forces. ”

"This time, Taiyuan was moved by Yang Jicai, and all the food and ammunition needed by the Japanese army to counterattack northern Jin can only rely on Hebei to replenish it. Its logistical supply lines are not only long, but no matter which direction they take, they are bound to pass through the base areas of our army. This is a relatively good opportunity to bring into play the strengths of our army's guerrilla warfare and movement warfare. ”

"Especially in the territory of our army in the Shanxi battlefield, except for the Beiyue District of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which suffered too much loss last year as the top priority of the Japanese army. The rest of the troops, whether they are Taihang or Taiyue Military Region, have already completed their assembly. Even if the enemy sends troops to escort them, our army can completely concentrate the main forces in a certain area and take advantage of our strengths in mountain warfare and close combat to attack him in a mountain movement ambush warfare. ”

"My construction is a few major areas of the Shanxi battlefield, don't go head-to-head with Japanese reinforcements. The main force of his reinforcements was sent over, and his supply lines were specially attacked, and his convoys were attacked. At the same time, it carried out all-out counterattack operations against areas where Japanese control was weak in various areas of Shanxi. ”

"Strive to use this battle to attract the main forces of the Japanese army to the north of Jin. As much as possible, restore the situation in the various base areas before the Japanese sweep last year. The most fundamental thing is to pull out the nails that the Japanese army has penetrated deep into our base areas and restore the integrity of our base areas in an all-round way. ”

"Boss, I think the current situation on the battlefield is like a group of people fighting with a strong man. Although the strength of each unit of our army thrown into the battlefield alone cannot be compared with the Japanese army. But the whole army combined, both in terms of strength and strength, was above the Japanese army. ”

"It's like a weak man who can't beat a strong man. But we are a group of weak people, and we rush up and beat him in groups, even if we can't kill him, we can beat him half of his body. Even if the tactics are used properly, we may not be able to kill him. ”

"The anti-coalition troops in the northern Shanxi battlefield held down the head of the Japanese army on the Shanxi battlefield and hugged his waist. The brother troops took advantage of this opportunity to rush up and concentrate their vital forces and chop off his limbs. Just like the punishment of dividing the corpses of five horses in the past, the Japanese troops on the Shanxi battlefield were completely disabled. ”

"If we say that we take the whole territory of Shanxi in this battle, there is no need for that, and it will also bring us a lot of trouble in politics. But we could control as many rural areas of Shanxi as we could, trapping the Japanese army in various towns. Weaken its branches first, and wait for the shape shì to allow his taproot to be dug out in one fell swoop. ”

"It's like killing a chicken, since I killed you directly with a knife, it will bring a lot of trouble. But I can pluck out your chicken feathers so that no one can catch them, and say that my chicken was stolen. And I don't give you food to eat, I'm dragging you skin and bones, and I'm trying to find a way to kill you. ”

"Especially in ambush warfare like this kind of movement, our army is no stranger to the battle that specializes in his logistical supply lines. In 37 years, our army crossed the Yellow River to the east and fought many such battles in a row. We have fought many battles like Pingxingguan, Xiangtangpu, Yanmen Pass, Qiqian Village, etc. ”

"In this kind of battle to ambush the enemy's baggage troops, I think the brother troops in the pass are still familiar with the road, and it can even be said that they are holding the handle. One of our troops is not enough to resist the main force of the Japanese army, but we can accumulate small victories into big victories. Defeat the Japanese army's baggage troops, starve the Japanese troops to death, and trap them on the front line. ”

At the same time, the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in Hebei can choose some capable armed forces and take advantage of the opportunity for the Japanese army to return to the Jizhong Plain. Even if it is impossible to restore the original Jizhong base area, it will turn the Jizhong Plain, which is now the granary of the Japanese army, upside down. ”
