Chapter 124: Unprecedented

Regarding Du Kaishan's somewhat evasive explanation, Yang Zhen sneered: "Du Kaishan, you don't give me sloppy eyes here." At that time, the situation in the Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions had been fundamentally reversed due to the impact of the entire war situation. The comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy has changed fundamentally. ”

"There are not many Japanese troops left, and the remaining enemy army, which is mainly a puppet army, does not need your Commander Du to intervene, and they can completely solve the problem by themselves. Even if people are not as equipped as you and their combat effectiveness is worse than yours, there is still no problem in fighting thousands of puppet troops. ”

"What are you kid going to do, the reason for inserting a stick in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area, don't think I really don't know. I still know very well how many roundworms there are in your belly. Don't be a kid in this matter, hide it from me. ”

"At the training class for senior cadres of the military region, why did the words I said to you so hard become a deaf ear to you? Your problem is not to say that your kid let go of the first part of the 22nd Division and did not draw a successful end to the first phase of the operation on the Cangzhou battlefield. Although I, Yang Zhen, don't have much ability, my eyelids are not so shallow. ”

"I have told you more than once that no matter how the situation changes on the battlefield, as a senior commander, you must be cool-headed. When making any decision, you have to look at the overall situation of the whole campaign, and don't just stare at the pots and pots in front of you. ”

"Commanders at all levels, especially senior commanders, must have the ability and habit of independent thinking. For the direction of the battle situation, you must have the ability to judge independently. The Western Theater where you are located is indeed under less pressure on the overall battle situation than Chen Hanzhang's Eastern Front. ”

"But with the whole army of our army advancing to the Jilu border area, the pressure on your position will far exceed that of the Eastern Cluster. Don't forget, your eastern route is right between Tianjin and Jinan, two important cities in North China. Your theater location is close to Tianjin and Qingdao, and it is also close to the two most important ports in North China. ”

"Within the scope of your operations on the Eastern Front, the Jinpu Line is also the only railway communication line that the Japanese army has mastered, connecting the north and south of China. Compared with the Pinghan line, the importance of the Jinpu line was far above that of the Japanese army. That is to say, in the next battle, from the perspective of strategic position, you will become the focus of the battle. ”

"This is also the pattern that I consciously formed at the end of the first phase of the battle. I have long made up my mind to focus on the next battle situation along Jinpu Road. Therefore, in this last stage, we must put tremendous pressure on the Japanese army in the Jilu border area, and most importantly on the front line of Dezhou. ”

"At the same time, strategically and tactically, it plays a role in mutual cooperation with the troops of the Shandong Military Region. Firmly point the enemy of Texas in Texas, so that it cannot be transferred to other battlefields in Shandong. In terms of overall strategy, it is necessary to form a pattern of coordinated operations on the internal and external fronts, and strategically provide certain support to the troops of the Shandong Military Region. ”

"If we are in the northern Lubei area, we will not be able to form enough pressure on the enemy of Texas. Not only will it be very detrimental to the security of our own flanks, but it will also not play any role in supporting the situation in Shandong. It will also have an adverse impact on our strategy on the entire North China battlefield. ”

"The entire North China battlefield is so big, not only the 20 or so divisions that we entered the pass can completely solve it. The development of the entire war situation requires us to effectively cooperate with the fraternal forces in North China. In particular, the coordination of the entire strategy is crucial to whether we can win this battle at such a great cost. ”

"If there were no main forces of the two major military regions of Shanxi, Chahar, Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan, the First Army would be entangled in the Shanxi battlefield. Without the main force of the Shandong Military Region, dragging most of the troops of the 12th Army on the Shandong battlefield, do you think that these 20 or so divisions that rely on us alone can compete with the entire Japanese North China Front, and even the entire Chinese dispatch army? ”

"In this battle, we and the Kannai brothers' troops played a complementary role on the entire battlefield. It's just that the characteristics of each combat are different from those of the combat targets, and the results achieved in battle cannot be the same. But it is absolutely impossible to say who played a greater role, who played better than whom, and the whole battlefield was a game of chess. ”

"In the previous battle, they fully cooperated with you. But now that the battle situation in Hebei has generally stabilized, it is good for you to arrive, and when people need you the most, you stand aside and stand by. Let's not talk about the impact on the overall battle situation, in terms of quality, isn't it a bit unauthentic for you to do this? ”

In addition, the next strategic deployment of the headquarters is to prepare for the Jilu border area south of the Cangshi Highway, east of the Ziya River and Fuyang River, and north of the Maji River. The terrain here is flat, and the scale of the river is not large, which is very conducive to our army to give full play to the advantages of mechanized troops. ”

"The Texas battlefield is the gateway to northwest Shandong, and whether our army can maintain enough troops in this area directly affects our army's next strategic plan. In other words, it is related to whether we can attract the enemy's attention from southern Hebei to Shandong. ”

"This is extremely important for the direction of the entire battle situation in our next battle. Maybe your idea does have a certain amount of rationality from a local point of view, but do you look at it from a global perspective? If you don't use the important strategic location of Texas as a bait to form enough pressure on the enemy in Texas, how can you attract the Japanese heavy army cluster? ”

"If the enemy of Texas takes advantage of the fact that you only have a broken division on the front of Texas, and you don't even have a defensive line. What to do if you risk bypassing the line of defense of your division and forcibly passing through ** from east to north of Texas? At that time, not only will your Du Kaishan's back road be copied, but even the flank of the entire Pingjin battlefield will be threatened. ”

"You are a veteran, and you are not unclear about the Japanese army's interspersed combat capabilities. In the past battlefields, we have also suffered many losses from the Japanese army's flanks and detours. This time, it was the sudden intervention of the First War Zone in Chongqing, which disrupted the overall plan of the Japanese army and allowed your kid to escape. ”

"If it weren't for this horizontal insertion in the First War Zone, it would have disrupted the plan of the Japanese army. When your main force is in Jilu, Yu, and Yu, the enemy of Texas is quietly heading north, what should you do with the flank of the straight **? Don't tell me, your mechanized troops will be able to come back quickly. With the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, you can ensure that your troops can return in time? ”

"Let me tell you, when the time comes, you Du Kaishan will be the biggest sinner in the whole army. The more we reach this critical juncture, the more we must pay attention not to leaving a loophole for the Japanese army to exploit. Don't let the enemy have any chance to turn the tables because of your own carelessness and your own assumptions. ”

"Let me ask you, whether we are in the Northeast or North China, we have been dealing with the Japanese army for such a long time. The advantages of the Japanese army, you don't need to say that you should be clear. Have you ever seen a Japanese army that needs to rest before it can fight continuously when it still has a certain combat effectiveness? Have you ever seen a Japanese army that was afraid even when the battle situation was at a disadvantage? ”

"Not to mention anything else, the ability of the senior commander of the Japanese army to capture the fighter plane, as well as the ability to grasp the entire battle situation, has not been achieved by our senior commanders until now. A gap is a gap, and there is nothing taboo about that. We have suffered similar losses on more than one occasion in the Northeast Battlefield. In the past, we used countless blood to exchange the lessons on the Northeast Battlefield, but now you have lost them cleanly. ”

"After the end of the Cangzhou battlefield, the Japanese army has withdrawn to Dezhou, and the strength has exceeded one division. With such a large force, right under your nose, you actually left me only an incomplete division to monitor? Are you really the enemy of Texas, all a bunch of air? ”

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of underestimating the enemy? Once the enemy of Texas uses your main force to go west out of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, the entire Fuxian Highway and the Bohai Bay will be empty in the vast area. Regardless of the danger, counterattack Jingxian and Fucheng to the north and cut off your back road. Even along the Jinpu Railway, it quickly inserted into the Tianjin battlefield. ”

"And your main force is pinned down in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan battlefield, and you can't quickly return to the Jinpu line, what will you do then? Not only will your rear not only be unable to be saved, but even the flanks of the Tianjin battlefield may be threatened. The truth that water is impermanent and soldiers are not normal, I don't need to talk to you more. The truth of the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, I don't need to talk about it more. ”

"How many times have I told you that for a crazy army like the Japanese army, you can't use conventional judgment to judge their movements. In terms of tactical deployment, it is necessary to be prepared at all times for the possible crazy moves of the Japanese army who are jumping over the wall at every turn. Are these words all in your ears? ”

"Now that you know the importance of flanking, what did you do at that time? If you transfer the main forces to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border region, let's not talk about whether it will cause contradictions with your brother troops. Just because you have thrown the flank of the whole army to the Japanese army, and disregarded the overall strategic deployment of the whole army, I have removed you from your post lightly. ”

"Not to mention the Hebei-Lu-Henan Military Region, I have the ability to deal with that remnant enemy, and I don't need you Commander Du to intervene at all. If you take 10,000 steps back, you need your help, and you will dispatch all the main forces? When did Commander Du, who has always had a high vision, become interested in the Japanese army at such a point? ”

"I'm angry that in addition to the fact that you always have a bad relationship with your brother troops, the most critical reason is that your problem is not on the battlefield, but in your head. Your approach is good to say that it is competitive and courageous, but it is not good to say that you are vain and consciously show yourself. ”

"At any time, we must calmly face the development and changes of the war situation, and consider things to take one step and look at three steps. These are the demands I have made more than once to you, the senior commanders. But because of your vanity, you ignore the overall strategic situation, and rashly meddle in the war zone where you shouldn't interfere, let alone have no need to meddle. ”

"As a senior commander, you Du Kaishan did this in order to vent his personal anger, and asked himself if you are qualified? I really have to think about whether you, Du Kaishan, continue to serve as the military commander of this Eastern Cluster, is still a qualified candidate. Keeping you in the position of commander at the strategic level is still the right person. ”

"The number of senior commanders we are able to take charge of on our own is indeed somewhat insufficient. But I'd rather leave certain positions empty, and I'm not going to make any concessions on this point. If a senior commander doesn't even have this overall view in mind, what do I want him to do? You know my character, I would rather offend people than use straw bales. ”

Yang Zhen's words can be said to be quite heavy. Even in the criticism of these senior commanders of Du Kaishan, it was the first time that such heavy words were uttered. Such unbridled criticism can be said to be unprecedented. Especially the last paragraph, Du Kaishan's face became unusually pale in an instant, and the military uniform on his body seemed to be fished out of sweat.
