Chapter 289: You're putting the cart before the horse
Yang Zhen's words, the two people who were still like fighting cocks when they occasionally looked at each other before said it wilted. The dejected ones were all lost in thought, and no one dared to speak, except for the occasional cautious glance.
After a long time, Yang Jicai stood up and said, "Sir, no, I was wrong, chief." I shouldn't laugh at my comrades. Please rest assured, Liu Heiwa's training will be handed over to me. I will do my best to help him become a qualified fighter. I will tell the brothers what you said today. Let everyone act together to help their comrades and brothers. ”
Compared with Yang Jicai's slightly wordy assurance, Liu Heiwa's assurances are much more neat: "Chief, I'm wrong, I shouldn't scold them for being dogs." We all come from a hard background and should help each other. I promise that I will get along well with my comrades in the future. They must be regarded as brothers and comrades-in-arms who live and die together. ”
The guarantee of the two people made Yang Zhen nod slightly, patted the shoulders of the two people and said with a smile: "Go back and wash well, and then go to your battalion commander to get a new cotton coat." Sue them, just say what I Yang Zhen said, this matter is over, and no one is allowed to pursue it in the future. ”
When Yang Zhen's two words came out, Liu Heiwa didn't react, obviously he didn't know Yang Zhen's position in the army. He joined the army because this team fights devils, and in his opinion, as long as there is a team that can fight devils and a team that can avenge himself, he will participate.
And Yang Jicai's expression after hearing the word Yang Zhen was much stronger. After being slightly stunned, his expression became strangely excited. Looking at Yang Zhen, he was a little overwhelmed and said, "Chief, you are our Commander-in-Chief Yang?" Is that Commander-in-Chief Yang, who was called the number one bandit in Manchukuo by the Japanese, and was called a great danger to Manchurian law and order by the Japanese newspapers, and who defeated several divisions of the devils in one fell swoop in the previous stage? ”
Looking at the excited person, Yang Zhen nodded but did not answer him, but said to Du Kaishan beside him: "The number one bandit? Still in trouble? This little devil also looks up to me Yang Zhen too much. I just don't know how much this little devil is going to spend to buy my head? This little devil has always been stingy, and the price should not be too low, then I will have no face. ”
Regarding Yang Zhen's self-ridicule, Du Kaishan dared to answer, but he was just laughing on the side. Over there, Yang Jicai said, "Mr. Yang, you don't know that in the minds of all the people in Manchuria who still remember that you are Chinese, you are a great hero. ”
"When I was in the training camp for the puppet Manchurian soldiers, the brothers privately said that not to mention the price of one pound of meat and ten pounds of gold from the little devils, it was a hundredfold, and everyone could not do such a damned thing. If you really go to the battlefield, you will try to let the little devil chop it to pieces, and you won't be able to hurt a single hair. ”
"People also said that if there is a chance to fight devils with you. Even death is worth it. You are a great hero in the hearts of our more than 20,000 recruits. After being captured, we were asked if we were going to fight devils with them. Everyone was still a little hesitant at the time, although they were fed up with the anger of the little devil, but the determination to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers was not so easy to make. ”
"But when all the brethren knew that it was your troops who had entered Jiamusi, they immediately agreed to join the army, and none of them withdrew. Rest assured, Chief, no matter what our people have done before. But I can assure you that none of us have done anything unconscionable. In the future, I will follow you to fight devils, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, there will be absolutely no two words. ”
Regarding Yang Jicai's assurance, Yang Zhen waved his hand with a smile and said, "You all go back and rest." Remember to convey all my words to your comrades and brothers, and do not estranged and split between them in the future. Be united with each other. Unity is strength, you should have heard this saying. In the face of the enemy's strength and weakness, only by uniting all people, regardless of origin and class, can we finally defeat the powerful enemy and restore our rivers and mountains. ”
After sending the two people away, Yang Zhen suddenly fell silent and didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until Du Kaishan brought someone to bring dinner that he recovered from his silence. picked up the meal, but Yang Zhen didn't rush to eat, but turned his head to Xiaohuzi and said, "Huzi, after you finish eating, go and bring that Yang Jicai over later." There are still ideas to find out his bottom line. ”
Yang Jicai's matter has almost become the head of the roundworm in Yang Zhen's stomach, and the little tiger who has a bad back on his background is naturally a door. He didn't say anything, and after a few mouthfuls of food, he didn't even put on his coat. He only tightened the equipment on his body and ran out in a hurry.
After Xiaohuzi left, Yang Zhen and Du Kaishan were left in the wooden stunned, and they seemed very silent. It wasn't until Du Kaishan hesitated for a moment that he said, "One zero one, my work still hasn't been done well." I had no idea that there was such an antagonism among the fighters. As a commander, I have a responsibility. ”
Regarding Du Kaishan's review, Yang Zhen put down the big cake in his hand, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to review, you did a good job." Your political commissars and the personnel of the political department are busy with emigrating, and the main posts of the two regiments are now studying at the headquarters, and you alone have to grasp both military and political work, and it is already good to achieve your point. Besides, you are not good at political work yourself. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen stood up and looked at the map on the wall for a long time, but after a long time, he changed the topic and said: "The terrain, I still have to look at it." Your four divisions will be a key direction for a long time in the future operational plan of the headquarters, and there are some areas that will not be practical unless you see them with your own eyes. This time I'm going to stay with you for a month, and I'm going to look at your main defensive directions. ”
"The headquarters reconnaissance battalion is about to finish its parachute training in Jiangbei and will return to the Xingshan area next month. I am ready to transfer them over and carry out a comprehensive strategic reconnaissance operation against the enemy in Raohe, Hulin, Mishan, and Muling along your defense area. In addition, the General Headquarters decided to wait for all units to complete their training and then take turns to fight the Japanese troops in the third and fourth divisions at the brigade or regimental level. ”
"So I'll have to look at your main defensive fronts so that I have an idea of what to do when I make a master plan. Also, you have to be mentally prepared. In the future polemic, in order to confuse the Japanese army, the command structure of the two columns will basically not be used. So you have to be prepared to command two or three brigades at a time. ”
"When the reconnaissance battalion comes, you have to keep it absolutely secret. When they carry out strategic reconnaissance missions, they will bring some new equipment of a practical nature. Test the performance of these equipment in real combat. Also, after you have completed the basic training, you should add more anti-tank training to the tactical exercises. ”
"How to fight tanks, you have to think more about it. But there is one rule, you are not allowed to use the tactics of meat bullets. The life of each and every one of my warriors is precious, and cannot be used to die. Besides, the Japanese Type 97 grenades we are using today alone cannot completely destroy the Japanese tanks. ”
"In terms of the Japanese army's strong field repair capabilities, if these tanks are not completely destroyed, it will not take much time to repair. With this tactic, the gains outweigh the losses. When the reconnaissance battalion arrives, it will bring some necessary equipment, and you will have to figure out a plan for using it. ”
"Also, tomorrow you find a suitable person to replace you here to preside over the training troops, and you and I will go to the front to have a look. During this time, I will go to the front, and you will follow me. The map is dead, the terrain is alive. On the battlefield, even if your map is corrected accurately, it is better to see it with your own eyes. ”
"The headquarters transferred you to be the commander of the military division, and you are in command of operations. I don't want you to be the head of the training department or the head of the training section. When you took office, you asked the political commissar to transfer so many cadres from the Third Brigade to you, and there was no one who could replace you? If this happens, I will give the order to transfer them all back. ”
"When I say you're doing a good job, it's not that you're doing a good job in this position as commander. It means that you are doing a good job in this position of director of recruit training and are very qualified. But you're not putting yourself in the right position and forgetting what you're supposed to do. If I had known this, I would have transferred you to the training office or let you and Liu Changshun be transferred. You go to be the commander of the Production and Construction Corps.
"What you should do now is to calm down and study the next battle, judging from the enemy situation around you, what kind of tasks will be given to you by the headquarters, and how you will complete the tasks that the headquarters may give you."
"Once the war begins, how are you going to fight with the main forces? What should you do if the Japanese army is now harassing the north with a small force? How to prevent the infiltration of small Japanese troops on these hundreds of miles of defense line. ”
"Instead of doing something that can be done here by a deputy head in charge of training, or even as a training section chief. No matter how big or small, everything must be done personally, this is a good style. But militarily, it is extremely undesirable. I sue you, you call putting the cart before the horse. ”
"Attentiveness is what it should be, and in many cases, details can determine the fate and outcome of a person, a battle, or even a battle. But if you have to take care of trivial matters personally, then you, the commander of the division, might as well even eat dry food. ”
"Those cadres who have tried their best to deploy to you at the headquarters don't know anything and don't understand anything, and they have to do everything by you, as a commander, yourself? Don't dare to let go of the use of talents, you are Lang Fei. It's not just Lang who costs them, it's Lang who costs your time. If your eyelids are so narrow, then I'm really looking at the wrong person. ”
"You should review, but it's not going in the right direction. You are still very competent in training recruits, but I ask you, what is your position? Is it the head of the training section of your division, or the head of the recruit regiment? You still don't understand what the real intention of the military region is to set up this four divisions? ”
"If you are asked to stabilize the place and form a local army, what will I send you to sit with the only three brigade commanders in the whole army? Although I, Yang Zhen, am not a Bole, I am not stupid enough to waste talents. If it's just because you kid disobeyed the order to deal with you, I have a way. I don't need to turn you in the main direction yet. ”
Yang Zhen said that Du Kaishan's face was red. What Yang Zhen said was not wrong, the matter of training recruits was personally presided over by a dignified division commander of his department, and it was a bit of a suspicion of putting the cart before the horse.
Although most of the recruits who came in this replenishment were directly assigned to various units and trained in their respective divisions because of the relationship between shape and time. Instead of being allocated according to the plan after the unified training of the headquarters supplementary regiment, as was the case in the past. To train from the basics, it is indeed a bit difficult.
However, as a commander in charge of the military struggle work in the most important sub-division of the entire military region, he himself grasped the training of new recruits in his hands and did not dare to let go, although there were also factors to speed up the formation of the combat effectiveness of the troops. But it's also true that the cart is put before the horse. The headquarters has equipped itself with cadres at all levels, and now it has made these cadres the captains of the recruits.
Looking at Du Kaishan, who was red-faced, Yang Zhen said with some hatred: "I can understand your feelings." But if you're not at ease, can you come back often to check your training progress? We should conduct more appraisals and arouse the enthusiasm of the troops in training. Even the training syllabus at the headquarters can be modified according to your own conditions. ”
"Isn't it much better to do it than to do it yourself? You are here now, what if the Japanese army takes advantage of the weakness to attack the county seat of Baoqing? Once they cut the phone line beforehand, once the radio station is lost, it is so far away, it is broken and you don't know. You are now the military commander in charge of the strategic aspects of a fight, not a regimental battalion commander. Take a long-term view. ”
Yang Zhen was a little unscrupulous by Du Kaishan, and even said confidential things in passing. After finishing speaking, Yang Zhen felt that he had lost his words. He wasn't afraid that this matter would leak secrets, he was worried that if this matter was known by Du Kaishan in advance, with his previous temperament, he knew that the headquarters was important to him, and maybe his tail would have to go there.
It's just that Yang Zhen didn't expect it to be a little unexpected, but Du Kaishan didn't have the slightest excitement after hearing this sentence that was enough to tell him about his headquarters' intentions to use it in the future. Instead, he said calmly: "One-zero-one, I know it's wrong." You're right, I'm putting the cart before the horse. ”
"Tomorrow, no, I'll study it with a few members of the team tonight. Except for Comrade Liu Yanlai, the deputy commander of the division, who is now in command of the front-line, his work will remain unchanged, and the work of immigrants in the future will be changed by the political commissar and Director Peng. There were two of them, leaving one person on duty with Chief of Staff Sui. Anyway, after nearly a month, the people in Baoqing's military-controlled zhì area have almost moved. No need for the two of them to go down together again. ”
"In addition, I transferred Xiong Zhenglin, deputy chief of staff of the division, to take over my work of training new soldiers. Comrade Bao Gang, deputy director of the political department, was also transferred to strengthen the ideological and political work of the troops. So that I can free my hands, one is to follow you to the front to see the terrain. Second, we should also come up with several combat plans according to what you just said. ”
Regarding Du Kaishan's readjustment of the focus of work, Yang Zhen still agrees. After he inadvertently said that he was out of his mouth, his cousin Yang Zhen was also very satisfied. Yang Zhen patted him on the shoulder encouragingly and said, "You have finally matured, and I can rest assured of you in the future." Go ahead and take up the mission that history and the people have entrusted you. ”
