Chapter 105: Follow Your Train of Thought

Not to mention anything else, when the Western Expeditionary Force of the Second Route Army was dispersed, Yuan Zhiruo was left in the mountains and fields to look for troops alone. If she put down the gun in her hand and ran home, even if Old Man Yuan really succumbed to the Japanese in order to ensure that the family business was subservient to the Japanese, he was determined to be a traitor. But how could they really completely ignore the love of father and daughter, and drive her out or send her to the Japanese gendarmerie?

Such a woman who is so determined, who doesn't even care about life and death, and has experienced so many hardships, how can she really do whatever it takes to expand her ambitions. How could I doubt and distrust such a woman who loves herself to the bone.

It is said that the Bodhisattva was carved out after a thousand knives, and the woman in his arms did not also come out of the suffering. I should give her the greatest trust, instead of doubting her feelings for herself because of something unwarranted.

Yang Zhen, who regretted it in his heart, tightly hugged Yuan Zhiruo, who was snuggled in his arms like a bird, sniffed her fragrance, and said in silence for a long time: "Zhiruo, I don't want you to wait any longer." The central government has approved my application for marriage, and we will get married when this battle is completed. ”

Listening to Yang Zhen gently talk about the future of the two people, Yuan Zhiruo didn't say anything, just fell into his arms and listened to his heartbeat. The two of them hugged each other quietly, standing in Yang Zhen's cave, looking at the leafy jujube tree in the yard.

It's a pity that this tranquility can only be short-lived for Yang Zhen. After hastily finishing breakfast, Yang Zhen didn't have time to talk to Yuan Zhiruo before he was pulled to Kang Da by the uninvited deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission. For a group of senior trainees who were transferred back to Yan'an from various base areas, I would like to talk about the experience of the first phase of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the use of artillery clusters in the course of the campaign.

Looking at the large group of famous generals who had been famous for a long time under the podium, Yang Zhen at this time had long lost his previous sincerity and fear. Instead of asking people to pick up the map, he turned around and picked up chalk and drew a schematic diagram of the first phase of the operation on the blackboard himself.

Putting down the chalk in his hand, Yang Zhen carefully talked about the battle with the map he drew by himself without politeness. Especially his own experience in commanding, Yang Zhen talked in great detail. Because he knows that these people here are all masters of mountain warfare, sports warfare, and guerrilla warfare, and they have rich combat experience. Especially mountain guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, I am afraid that no army in this world can compare with them.

However, synthetic combat is limited to the current situation of its own equipment, and I am afraid that it is a slight lack of experience. There is no way, you let an army that does not have a single plane, a tank, or even a few artillery pieces master the tactics of air-ground coordinated operations and infantry and tank joint operations, which is really difficult for some strongmen.

Most of what this army knows about aircraft is probably when they are bombed indiscriminately by enemy forces. For the mastery of tanks, it is still stuck in the helplessness of the lack of anti-tank means that can only be exchanged for human lives. This army, which played national and military prestige on the Korean Peninsula more than a decade later, and played the Chinese momentum for the first time, is really still stuck in the era of millet plus rifles.

Without the support of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, this army may still be the same as the history I know well. Not to mention artillery and machine guns, even rifles spend most of the time hungry. The ragged army, with the ammunition available in the chambers of their weapons and guns, was as malnourished as their tattered uniforms and dish-faced soldiers.

Let an army with such equipment talk about synthetic warfare, which is still difficult for a strong man, at least for the time being. But the fact that we can't talk about it now doesn't mean that this army doesn't need to talk about it in the future. Experienced in a hundred battles, they do not lack actual combat experience, but only the use of modern equipment.

In the face of these generals who may be just a brigade commander, a military division commander, or even just a regiment commander at this time, and far from being famous more than ten years later, Yang Zhen, who knows that these people will be the mainstay of the battlefield in the future, can be described as extremely detailed.

In fact, in addition to Yang Zhen's command experience, he only focused on two things. The first is the importance of logistical support during the campaign, and the second is the command experience of coordinated operations of multiple arms. Of course, considering the current equipment limitations of the troops in the Guannai, Yang Zhen focused on the use of artillery and ground air defense operations.

Yang Zhen spoke in detail, and it was the first time he had come into contact with this kind of audience, which was still a new combat mode for them, and he listened quite carefully. Even when it was time for lunch, no one even thought to eat it. The bell of the anti-big lunch rang several times, but it was still directly ignored by everyone.

And the fact that no one in this classroom came out for lunch also attracted the attention of others. As a result, the people who came to be sent to inquire about the news were also attracted by the content of Yang Zhen's lecture. As they came and went, there were more and more people attending classes, and in less than an hour after lunch, there were no more people in this small cave.

For these people who are eager for modern military knowledge, Yang Zhen can't refuse. As long as someone comes to his class, he is equally welcome. Even if these people who come to skip classes are just a guard company commander or a small officer or staff officer, he will not refuse. However, he had no way to provide a stool, so he had to stand and listen to the lecture if he wanted to.

It's just that he didn't expect that there would be more and more people. In desperation, when people outside were still squeezing inside, and the inside was already crowded to the point where there was almost no place to stand, Yang Zhen could only move the classroom to the playground. But when I got to the playground, I was also surrounded by the inner three floors and the outer three floors. involuntarily created such a big formation, not to mention the leaders of the Kang Da, even the leaders of the Military Commission were alarmed.

The leaders of the Military Commission who rushed over looked at the scene in front of them, and under the situation that those guys who came from class could not even drive away from the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Congress, they had no choice but to transfer a guard company to maintain order. At least don't squeeze things like too many people.

In fact, the current Kang Da has been dispersed to various base areas to establish branch campuses. The part that remained in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region was only four brigades in Yan'an. If they were all in Yan'an, I am afraid that today's appearance would be even more popular. Yang Zhen's class, which was originally only attended by more than 30 people, eventually turned into a big class attended by more than 200 people, and many people even brought their own telescopes.

In the face of these senior military cadres who were extremely knowledgeable in the face of a new combat mode, Yang Zhen, who was extremely patient, took this class for a whole day. I didn't even have time to eat a bite of food except for a few sips of water. At the end, Yang Zhen also engaged in an interactive activity of listening to questions and answering on the spot.

Regarding the earth-shattering incident that Yang Zhen did in the last class, several leaders of the Military Commission could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. Fortunately, the chairman knew, so he let the military committee auditorium vacate it, and told the leaders of Kang Da that if Yang Zhen went to Kang Da to take classes again, let him go there to take classes, so as not to make such a thing happen again.

It's just that Yang Zhen, who is destined to rarely have so much free time, has no time to give classes to Kang University. As soon as Yang Zhen, who returned to the station from Kang Da, finished eating, he was sent by the chairman to find him. This time, the chairman made an appointment to meet Yang Zhen alone, and even the boss was not present.

Facing the great man's insight into people's hearts, as if seeing through a qiē vision, Yang Zhen, who knew that the chairman was talking to him alone this time, talked eloquently, and said all the thoughts and plans in his heart without any concealment. Even the reasons and thoughts for sending Yuan Zhiruo's father to the United States, he did not hide anything.

Yang Zhen, who knew that it was not easy to convince the chairman, said in great detail, and the chairman listened extremely carefully. The two of them talked all night in the chairman's study. Until the sky was already bright, the chairman was still clearly a little unsatisfied. But at the end of the conversation, although the chairman personally sent Yang Zhen to the courtyard, he still did not give Yang Zhen a reply.

However, Yang Zhen also knew from the chairman's unfinished expression that his conversation this night had played a great role. The decision was not so easy to make, and although there was still no reply, the chairman should have only hesitated a little at the moment. To fight such a campaign in which the whole army is dispatched within North China, the chairman's determination is not easy to make.

After returning to the cave, Yang Zhen, who slightly let go of his heart, did nothing. Accompanied by Yuan Zhiruo, after a hasty breakfast, he lay down to make up for sleep. He didn't close his eyes for almost two nights, and he was already extremely tired, and he didn't close his eyes for a while before he fell asleep.

Yang Zhen slept very soundly this night, and didn't get up until dusk. Yang Zhen, who had just washed his face and was about to go for a walk in Yan'an City after dinner, was invited to his study by the chairman again. In the chairman's study this time, not only the boss, vice chairman, and political commissar of the Advance Army were present, but even the chief of staff of the Central Military Commission and the commander of the Jinsui Military Region and the 120th Division were also present.

Seeing that everyone present, especially the commander of the 120th Division, who was called Commander Huzi, was also present, Yang Zhen knew in his heart that although the chairman had not yet said it, he had actually agreed to his plan. Otherwise, the boss would not have been transferred back at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Zhen sat down, the chairman hesitated slightly, and finally made up his mind to speak: "Comrade Yang Zhen, after careful study by the Central Committee, the next stage of the battle plan is still in accordance with your ideas. Considering the needs of the next phase of the operation, the central government has also invited your future partner back. What is needed now is where you will need to cooperate, and then discuss it with them. ”

The chairman's voice fell, and the hearty boss over there who had been secretly looking at him since Yang Zhen came in smiled and said to Yang Zhen: "Comrade Yang Zhen, I have heard of your name for a long time to you before, but it is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to meet thousands of miles away. ”

"In the past half a year, my brother has accepted your affection, and this unit has finally eaten its stomach, and the gun chamber is no longer in the embarrassing situation where there were only a few bullets before. If I have the opportunity to fight with you this time, I will definitely do my best here, and I will definitely not have half a point of reservation. ”

Hearing the boss's assurance, Yang Zhen didn't have time to speak, and after the determination on the side was finally made, the chairman who was much more relaxed laughed and said, "Boss, don't worry." According to his idea in this battle, your main force in the northwest of Jin will only be able to dispatch the whole army. This time, you Jinsui Military Region are going to smash the pot and sell iron. ”

Regarding the chairman's ridicule, the old marshal knew that this battle was not easy to fight, but he smiled indifferently: "Chairman, as long as it is beneficial to the overall situation of China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, as long as the strategic goals set by the central government can be achieved, what is there if the main force of the Jinsui Military Region is exhausted?" The rest of the fraternal troops liberated the whole of China in the same way. ”

"It's just that I'm worried about one thing, our troops have been transferred, so what about the river defense in Jinxi? Across the Yellow River, there is a heavy Japanese army cluster on the opposite side. In addition, the situation around the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region is also gradually deteriorating, and with the current strength of the central authorities, including the 359th Brigade, there are only 30,000 remaining troops, and the security of the central authorities after we move north is only worrying. ”
