Although this hesitation time was quite short for Yang Zhen. Despite this huge pressure, for Yang Zhen, he knew very well that he had to bear it no matter what. From the beginning of the entire battle plan to all the details, he single-handedly formulated the battle.

The planning and implementation of this campaign was also forced by him despite the opposition of almost all people. Many people think that his appetite is too big, so from the central government to the Anti-Japanese Federation itself, there are not many people who support and oppose this battle.

Even in the Anti-Japanese Federation itself, in addition to Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, who are his staunch supporters, including the commander-in-chief and the current chairman of the Northeast People's Government, all have opposing views. In particular, the chairman believed that such a large-scale war would put too much pressure on the economy and affect the industrial construction that was being carried out in the northeast.

With such a loud internal opposition, it is now the most critical moment, and he must persevere even if he grits his teeth. Yang Zhen is not angry, it is for the real development of the Northeast in the future. This battle must not only be fought, but also won.

But at this juncture, Yang Zhen really needs someone to push himself. Sue yourself for the last five minutes, and the victory will definitely be yours in the end. Since the launch of this campaign, the pressure brought to him by the successive opposition from all sides has been too great.

Yang Zhen asked Guo Bingxun this question, in fact, while asking himself about his old comrade-in-arms, he was also constantly asking himself. While Guo Bingxun answered his question, Yang Zhen had already given the answer in his heart. But he still needs to let Guo Bingxun push himself, and he also needs to listen to Guo Bingxun's advice.

It's just that although the final answer in Yang Zhen's heart is not too different from Guo Bingxun's answer, Yang Zhen did not make up his final mind at the first time. He also has to think about it again, and the adjustment of the entire battle situation needs to be improved as much as possible in that aspect.

As the commander of a large army, he can't just think about the current situation of the war. Many of his ideas also have to be considered from the overall situation after the war. In particular, the so-called assistance provided by the Americans has not been paid lip service to the present. Since the launch of this campaign, the Anti-United Nations has not been replenished by a single plane, a tank, or even a drop of gasoline or a ton of steel.

Of course, it is not counted that the equipment and materials that were seized by the Soviets before the war and are now returned are partly returned. At present, when the troops are almost injured, how to avoid greater losses as much as possible and consider the post-war situation is the most important thing for Yang Zhen to consider. If the losses of the troops are too large, even if the territory is defeated, what can it be, is it not the same without troops to defend?

After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen looked at Guo Bingxun's calm face, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Old Guo, just follow your plan and come up with a systematic plan." However, in terms of Siping, we can't play like this now, and I think we can adjust some details. ”

"Although we have paid a certain price for the Harvester plan, both the troops that responded head-on and the troops who implemented the plan suffered losses were not light. One of the main divisions involved in the battle suffered two-thirds of the casualties, and dozens of tanks and dozens of aircraft were lost. The reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region also suffered nearly half of the casualties. ”

"The paratrooper division we put in, a third of the casualties. The price paid cannot be said not to be heavy. However, we made a big fuss about the Kwantung Army's hinterland in South Manchuria, which also brought considerable casualties and losses to the Kwantung Army, and completely disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army in the hinterland of South Manchuria. ”

"And we have snatched all the Chinese workers and technicians in Fengtian, Fushun, Benxihu, and Anshan. Those Japanese technicians and workers were also escorted back to Beiman. Although there was no large-scale destruction of various industrial and mining enterprises, all the equipment that could be dismantled in a short period of time has also been dismantled. ”

"Japan's industry in South Manchurian is now largely paralyzed. In particular, the iron and steel industry in Mukden and Miyahara, and the military industry in Mukden, have basically been completely paralyzed. The dozens of ammunition machines in the Fengtian Arsenal were all dismantled, and a large number of military raw materials in stock were also dismantled. ”

Lee Myung-bak's troops, before evacuating, also blew up all the reserves of ammunition and weapons of the Japanese army that could not be carried. Judging from the materials reported by it, in the Mukden Arsenal alone, the Japanese army lost tens of thousands of tons of ammunition. Dozens of newly manufactured mountain artillery, nearly 100 infantry guns and rapid-fire guns that were stored there were also brought back by our army. ”

"There is also the ammunition depot of the Japanese army stored in Liaoyang, which was also blown up by our army during this operation. In this operation, we blew up all the Japanese ammunition reserves except for the Liaoxi and Liaodong Peninsulas. The destruction of the Mukden Arsenal also paralyzed the production of ammunition in the Japanese army, and it was impossible to resume production at least for a short time. ”

"And our air raids on the North Korean railway line also caused heavy losses in the ammunition transported by the Japanese army from Korea to the northeast. Lao Guo, you're right, it's not just us who are struggling now, but the Japanese army is also struggling. Our troops suffered heavy casualties, but the Japanese suffered even more heavy losses than ours. Our front-line combat units lacked a strict number of personnel, and the casualties of the Japanese front-line combat divisions and regiments were even greater. ”

"Judging from the current overall situation on the battlefield, there are certain problems with the current ammunition replenishment of the Kwantung Army. The firepower of the Japanese artillery on the front line has dropped by a third. Judging from the confessions of captured Japanese prisoners, the use of ammunition during the battle has been severely restricted. ”

"Whether it's a fake play or a real play, since you want to do it, let's do it as much as possible. The two separate tank battalions that had been withdrawn from the Chadong battlefield immediately stopped resting and recuperating and were all put into it. These slow-moving Iron Women, the terrain around Siping is just right for these guys to exert their power, as well as the advantage of strong skin and thick flesh. ”

"Order our troops in Rehe to launch an attack on the forward positions of the Japanese army at Nurur Tiger Mountain. Sue Lee Myung-bak to do enough play, and the bigger the movement, the better. But there is one thing that he should remember for me, and he must not cause me too many casualties. In addition, he can organize some small troops to go deep behind enemy lines to launch surprise attacks on the enemy forces on the front line of Zhangwu, Xifuxin and Jianping. ”

"Since the Rehe battlefield is now under our command, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. You draft a telegram to the two veteran commanders of the Advance Army, and you will take back the command of the troops in Rehe. Mobilizing the masses behind enemy lines and fighting this kind of guerrilla warfare and sabotage warfare are their strong points. ”

"In addition, don't we still have more than 30 German-made 150 howitzers in our hands? Although the number of shells is a little less, it can at least scare people when they are placed there. You give an order to the artillerymen, and ask them to send some people from the training team that received these artillery pieces to form an artillery regiment and go to the Siping front, and put these 30 or so heavy artillery pieces into it, and transfer the rest to the Rehe battlefield. ”

"Give an order to the aviation forces to transfer a part of the fighters that are serving as air defense in the rear as appropriate, and transfer them to the Siping direction to participate in air raid operations against the ground. They should be told that the planes should be adjusted, but there must be no loopholes in the air defense of the rear. I can't get out of the plane, so I deal with them. But if there is a gap in the air defense of the rear industrial zone as a result, even if only one bomb falls, I will want their heads. ”

"There is also a sue to the equipment department, let Xiong Dazhen take his directors and roll me to a few arsenals to take charge in person. All production of ammunition for light weapons has been halted for the time being. At present, we have enough light weapons ammunition in stockpiles for one year, and no one will die if production is stopped now. ”

"Let him urge the departments of the Northeast People's Government in charge of the military industry to now go all out to concentrate on the production of artillery shells, high-explosive aerial bombs, and napalm that we currently have a relatively large shortage. In particular, the shells of German-made 150-mm howitzers, 100-5mm howitzers, and American-made 75-mm mountain guns. ”

"The number of artillery shells in stock, as well as 57-mm anti-aircraft shells and other shells that are not urgently needed, have been temporarily halted in production and manufacturing. The production and imitation of several armor-piercing shells were also stopped, and all efforts were concentrated to produce high-explosive grenades for tank guns, which were most urgently needed at the moment. ”

"At present, the devil has very few tanks that can be put into battle on various battlefields. At most, some light armored vehicles, armor-piercing shells are basically useless. In the face of enemy field fortifications, some units can only attack with armor-piercing shells because of the lack of high-explosive grenades. ”

"To use armor-piercing shells to fight field fortifications is a waste and lacks sufficient power. And even if the Japanese army puts new tank units on the battlefield, our current stocks will be enough. What are you doing with so many armor-piercing shells now? The most critical thing now is the production of high-explosive grenades that we most desperately need. ”

"And you told him that Lee Myung-bak got so many raw materials from several arsenals in Mukden, which is enough for our maximum production capacity for two months, and there are tens of thousands of tons of raw materials for the manufacture of shells and bombs alone, and tens of thousands of tons of propellants used in the manufacture of guns. And so much equipment, and a lot of skilled workers. ”

"With so many good conditions, the production capacity has not yet been fully operational, what is the military industry doing to eat? Now it's embarrassing to call out all day long that military production has reached the limit, the output of ammunition can't go up, and the inventory of raw materials is not enough? ”

"In the hands of the Japanese, this Mukden Arsenal can produce thousands of rifles, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, nearly 10 million rounds of ammunition of various kinds, and nearly 100,000 shells of various calibers every month. How did it get to us, so many days have passed, but nothing has been made until now, is it the past that he Xiong Dazhen said? ”

"It is true that the military industry has now been handed over to local management, but all the factories have military representatives sent by their equipment department. Most of the leaders and chief engineers of the factories are either his senior brothers or junior brothers, and they can always get along without twisting and turning. Let him collect his heart for Lao Tzu, don't put all his mind on pulling the relationship and describing their brotherly feelings. ”

Yang Zhen was somewhat dissatisfied with the huge production capacity of this Fengtian Arsenal in the hands of the Japanese, but it was not effectively used after it arrived in North Manchuria, and the production capacity of the military industry was not greatly improved. With such more raw materials, the production of shells has not been able to increase for a long time.

However, in the face of huge consumption on the battlefield, because the output of the arsenal cannot meet the needs on the battlefield, the logistics department has begun to use the most fundamental and light strategic reserves. This is undoubtedly a difficult thing for Yang Zhen to accept.

If these workers and industrial equipment rushed from South Manchuria can be used in a short period of time, the ammunition production capacity of the Anti-United Nations will at least double. In particular, the production of artillery shells, which are most urgently needed at the moment, will definitely more than double the current production. However, under the situation that the front line is in urgent need of artillery shells, the huge production capacity contained in these workers and equipment has not been reflected for a long time, and it is not surprising that Yang Zhen is not satisfied.
