Chapter 125: It's hard to make a decision
After looking at his words, Du Kaishan, who was standing in front of him more uncomfortable than being punished. Yang Zhen stood up, turned his head and looked out the window for a long time before he said, "Du Kaishan, today's conversation is the last time I will say something similar to you." No matter what kind of problems you have in the future, I will not indulge you. ”
"You are a person who is capable and capable of fighting, and you are especially quick to accept new tactics and new tactics. During the war, cadres like you were a priceless treasure in the eyes of your superiors. That superior loves to use and likes to use it, and those stinky problems on your body, whether your superior wants to bear it for you. ”
"As the boss said, talents are rare, and they should be protected when they should be protected. So everyone let you, knowing that you made a mistake, that is, to criticize it lightly. Too much indulgence makes you arrogant, and even a little arrogant. ”
"I originally thought that it didn't matter if people were arrogant, only those who had the ability could be proud. As long as you have the ability, it is not too much of a problem to be proud. But today I found out that I was wrong, not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong. The previous connivance hurt you a little. ”
"Let me ask you, will the war be fought for the rest of its life? Every battlefield will not be fought for a lifetime, sooner or later there will be an end. In times of peace, people like you can still eat as well as they do now? I can tell you clearly, no one like you who is unruly and always self-centered will tolerate you for a lifetime. ”
"Everyone can follow you according to the needs of the situation during the war years. But in times of peace, who will be able to follow you in everything as they do now? If you don't change your temper and unruly character, you will make big mistakes in the future. ”
"The honor you have won on the battlefield over the years may be ruined in your character. If you don't get rid of your overly flamboyant and even empty-eyed character, you won't go too far in the future, and it will be extremely bumpy. Regardless of which army you are in, you will not go very far. ”
"With your ability to open the mountain, it's not that you can't see the threat of the enemy in Texas, let alone see the future development of the entire war situation. The reason why you stuck this pole in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border region is because you did not completely annihilate the 22nd Division. Half of the division's strength was run away by the 22nd Division, and he felt embarrassed in front of Chen Hanzhang, an old comrade-in-arms, so he sprinkled his anger on the heads of the Japanese army in southern Hebei. ”
"As a senior commander, you can't act impulsively at any time, that's the first condition. And for a commander, not being able to control his personality is the biggest taboo. If you can't control your emotions, no matter how capable this commander is, he will be unqualified. ”
"You are so uncool, how dare I continue to hand over the burden to you? Your position as the supreme military commander of the Eastern Cluster, I really have to consider whether it is time to change people. It is impossible for me to hand over the most important direction in the next battle, so to speak, to such an impulsive person. ”
"Du Kaishan, I remind you again today, and I remind you for the last time. I won't say anything like that again. For you, I have said too much what I should and shouldn't say. There are so many cadres in the army, it is impossible for me to put too much energy into you. The key to what to do in the future lies with you. ”
"I always thought that on the battlefield, it was nothing to lose face in front of my comrades. But if the whole army is put in a dangerous situation because of this little thing of your own, then you can be punished. How high you stand, how far you have to look, this is not an empty word, but to do it seriously. The higher the position, the greater the responsibility. ”
"As a senior commander, you must always put yourself in the right position and know what kind of impact every decision you make will have on the entire battle situation. A little thing that is not even trivial makes you lose the calmness that you should have as a commander, especially a senior commander, do you think about whether you are qualified as a senior commander? ”
"You should know that as a senior commander, every decision you make on the battlefield means the life and death of tens of thousands of people. In order to vent the personal anger in my heart, for the so-called little face, I left the entire battle situation behind, how can you let me believe you? ”
"I've never questioned whether you have the ability to be on your own. I still know very well what the ability of the cadres I have promoted. But your mentality really makes it hard for me to make this determination. A commander who is unstable and does not know what to give up is difficult to take on heavy responsibilities. ”
"Du Kaishan, as an old brother who rushed out of the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare base together, and as your old superior, a brother who has lived and died together for many years, I finally advise you. Don't fall in the rain of bullets in the war years, but fall in the song and dance in the peace years. ”
"A soldier must always put himself in the right position, some taboos must not be touched, let alone make too many enemies for himself at every turn. A lot of your questions are in your head. If you don't change this habit now, it's really hard for you to change it again. ”
When he said these words, Yang Zhen never turned around, and always turned his back to Du Kaishan. The weather in North China in January, although not as cold as Northeast China, is still a cold spring. And because there is only one ordinary stove as a heating tool, the temperature in Yang Zhen's headquarters is not high. But Yang Zhen's words made Du Kaishan's head sweat more and more.
Even the entire front chest and back of the military uniform were already soaked with sweat. Yang Zhen's every word was like a hammer, smashing his heart. Now Du Kaishan finally understands the real reason for No. 1's anger. Du Kaishan, who felt the anger in No. 1's heart, didn't dare to defend himself.
After saying this, there was silence for a long time, and then Yang Zhen turned around, pointed to the map on his office desktop, and said, "Since you proposed that you want to survey the terrain of Bohai Bay on the spot, you can determine the location of the artillery position. Then you will be solely responsible for this matter, and your eastern cluster will be temporarily under the command of Chen Hanzhang. ”
"During this time, you should also reflect on yourself. As for what to do with you, I'll have to take a closer look. Although it is a taboo for soldiers to change generals, I will never be soft when necessary. I can't let the situation that has been bought for the blood of countless martyrs be ruined at the hands of a person who can't control his emotions. ”
Yang Zhen's words fell, and Du Kaishan looked at Yang Zhen who was expressionless in front of him, wanting to say something, but in the end he wanted to stop talking. Knowing that at this time, Du Kaishan, who would not change his determination no matter how much he defended, saluted Yang Zhen with a standard military salute, and then turned around and left Yang Zhen's small war room.
Looking at Du Kaishan's somewhat sparse back when he left, Yang Zhen sighed in his heart, but he still hoped that this guy could really accept the lesson this time. After all, it is not easy to train a cadre who can really stand alone. It is definitely not an exaggeration to find a thousand troops and a general to find.
But if Du Kaishan's mentality can't be adjusted for a long time, and he blindly competes, it will really ruin him completely. In many cases, it is difficult to train a cadre, but it is quite easy to destroy a cadre. Yang Zhen also knows very well that the main reason why Du Kaishan has come to this day is that the journey he has come along the way has been too smooth for him.
This guy has gone from being a platoon commander of the Sichuan Army for 38 years to now a commander of the front army of more than 100,000 troops in command of the Anti-Japanese Federation. In just a few years, he has walked through the heights that others have not been able to reach for more than ten years, or even in his lifetime, and the promotion speed is still too fast. Although he didn't dare to show it in front of himself, there was still arrogance in his heart.
It was the arrogance of not admitting defeat in his heart that made him care too much about his own face, which caused these things. If he had more experiences, more setbacks, and more maturity, he would not have had the things he has done today.
Compared with Chen Hanzhang and Wang Guangyu, cadres who have fought guerrillas in the Northeast for many years, rushed out step by step from countless hardships and dangers, and experienced far more ups and downs than him. He Du Kaishan has never been able to correct his position in terms of mentality. It doesn't matter how much ability he has, but from the current point of view, at least mentally, his mental state has not yet reached the standard required for his current position. “
In this case, although today's own words are a bit too heavy. But this kind of beating is still necessary for people like Du Kaishan who are too smooth sailing. If he can take the lesson, where he falls and gets up from where he gets up, it will accelerate his maturity.
If his beating makes him collapse, then there is no need to expect anything from him. It's just that how much effect today's words can play depends on him Du Kaishan himself. But from the bottom of his heart, Yang Zhen really hopes that this guy can get back on his feet.
It's just that at the moment, we not only have to focus on the surrounding war situation, but also take over the deployment adjustment of the western cluster. In light of changes in the situation, it is necessary to constantly adjust the follow-up combat plan, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay close attention to the progress of the northeast battlefield. There are too many things that have made Yang Zhen, who has no skills.
There is not much time and energy, all on Du Kaishan alone. After Du Kaishan left, many follow-up matters quickly turned Yang Zhen's mind to other directions. Regarding Du Kaishan's handling opinions, he still wanted to wait, and wait until this guy finished surveying the artillery position, and then see his performance before making up his mind.
Because for Yang Zhen, although he is very clear about the pit viper in his hand and the reason why a strong man breaks his wrist, this determination is still difficult to make. Especially in the case that the high-ranking cadres who meet their own requirements and standards are still very limited, it is not easy to make this determination. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen still wanted to slow down again. So he put his energy on the current battle situation.
After the battle on the Jizhong battlefield came to an end temporarily, in addition to adjusting the deployment of the Jizhong battlefield, Yang Zhen was most concerned about the situation in the northeast battlefield at the moment. However, judging from the current situation in the Northeast, Yang Zhen can't help but say that Guo Bingxun and Wang Guangyu have done quite well on the Northeast battlefield.
On the current battlefield in the northeast, although the Anti-Japanese Union and the Kwantung Army have always been in a stalemate south of Siping to the front line of Xinbin and Qingyuan. However, the offensive launched by Guo Bingxun on the Northeast Battlefield firmly stuck the main force of the Kwantung Army to the north of Tieling to the line of Fushun and Qingyuan. The tank interspersed operations launched many times on the Liaohe Plain in the middle road and in the mountainous areas of eastern Liaodong were extremely exciting.
Especially on the Eastern Front, under the situation of the Japanese army's tight defense, tanks were used to cover the infantry, and while carrying out small-scale tank splitting battles many times, the surprise soldiers carried out several classic tanks in large depth and rapid penetration. Once again, it hit Fushun, and once broke through to a place less than ten kilometers away from Shenyang City. I almost didn't take the location of the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and once again gave it to the end.
