Yang Zhen, who was eating with the central delegation, naturally didn't know that before the delegation came. There will be so many ideas in the center. If he knew that the central government would make such a decision in order to maintain his independence and not be controlled by the north, I don't know whether to cry or laugh for the attention of the central government?

The dinner prepared by Yang Zhen was very sumptuous, and it could be seen that he had put a lot of effort into it before. In addition to the fish in the river and the game caught on the way, a plate of fried soybeans was specially prepared for Mr. Lin, who has a special preference for soybeans. It's just that the source of this plate of soybeans is a little unpleasant, and Yang Zhen specially deducted it from the horse feed prepared for the horses.

Although the Northeast is the main soybean producing area in China, it is also the largest producing area. However, the abundant soybeans are regarded as strategic materials by the little devils, and they are very tightly controlled. Especially in the counties in the north that do not produce beans, the amount of soybeans seized is really not large. And this small amount of soybeans should also be used as an ingredient for war horses to increase nutrition.

War horses are not bad horses that drive, plow, and grind. It's very delicate, and it's very particular about what it eats. In addition to the necessary forage, a lot of necessary feed needs to be added. Among these feeds, soybean cake made from soybeans is the best. And even the forage is not just a grass, the storage and configuration of the forage, and even the storage are many sayings.

If you were to feed only forage, your horse would not even be able to stand up in a few days. If you really use a handful of grass on the side of the road as fodder, as later generations rumored, I am afraid that it will not be long before your horse dies of diarrhea.

Even a Mongolian horse that is known for its roughage-tolerant and hard-working work is because of the endless abundance of high-quality wild soybeans, alfalfa and other fine forages in the Mongolian steppe. If the Mongolian steppes were full of weeds that horses don't like to eat, I'm afraid there would be no Mongolian horses.

When the troops didn't have a horse before, Yang Zhen didn't understand these things at all. When he had a relatively sufficient number of war horses, Yang Zhen realized that it was not easy to raise these war horses and keep them in shape. Even the so-called roughage-tolerant Mongolian horses are not at all the same as what they heard in later life.

Under the situation that it was not easy to replenish the war horse, in order to maintain the body of the war horse, after occupying several county seats, Yang Zhen personally instructed Zhang Zhenhua to keep all the seized soybeans in a centralized manner. The soybean cakes produced in the folk soybean oil workshop are also purchased by the logistics department.

In order to welcome Mr. Lin, who is fond of soybeans, Yang Zhen specially asked Zhang Zhenhua for 30 catties of soybeans before leaving. So these soybeans can definitely be said to be snatched from the horse's mouth. Of course, Yang Zhen didn't dare to say these words. If the central government knew that he actually got soybeans from the horse feed for this famous general, I am afraid that a wild criticism would be inevitable.

Compared with Mr. Lin, who was happy to see the beans, the other generals were more interested in the fish in the Heilongjiang River cooked in the authentic Northeast method. In particular, the fish that are not produced in the south have aroused their great interest.

Grass carp stewed tofu, red stewed aohua, fried bream, crispy Yaluo, stewed potatoes with eel fish, fried roe deer meat with green onions, braised venison, and dumplings stuffed with crucian carp and fish stuffed with Heilongjiang water, let a few people eat black bread, red sausage and seaweed soup and other tasteless Russian dishes for a whole year, or even a few years.

is the Mr. Lin, who has never been picky in eating and gives what he eats, and he also eats a lot of fish. For the fish-stuffed dumplings that Yang Zhen sandwiched, he ate as much as he wanted. Even the rice served for him did not eat a single bite. While eating, it is rare to praise the deliciousness.

When Yang Zhen arranged for the comrades of these delegations to rest after the meal, he did not expect that he would be left in a single tent specially prepared for him by Mr. Lin.

Sitting on the marching bed, Mr. Lin looked at Yang Zhenliang with a bright horse lantern for a long time before saying, "Can you tell me about your combat experience, I am very interested in your battles." Can you talk about how you thought about it at the time? Under what circumstances did you make those decisions? ”

Looking at the time on his watch, Yang Zhen said with some hesitation: "Chief, it's already the second half of the night, do you want to rest first." When you're rested, I'll report back to you in detail? I'm used to staying up late, you still have injuries on your body, and you need to recuperate. ”

Mr. Lin shook his head and said, "You and I are both soldiers, and not sleeping all night is nothing to us." Let's listen to your introduction first. As for resting, I'll talk about it when I'm done. He spoke unhurriedly, but in a resolute tone.

Seeing his insistence, Yang Zhen had no choice but to start from how he was captured and how he was imprisoned in the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare base, until he made up his mind to rush out. From the Ash River blockade to the attack on the Pioneer Regiment for replenishment. From how Wudaolingzi annihilated thousands of Japanese puppet troops with explosives to rushing to attack Weihe County.

From the middle of the junction of Acheng and Wuchang to the rest of the old black top secret camp. From the sneak attack on the Jingpo Lake Puppet Manchurian Hydropower Station site to the surprise attack on Jiamusi. From the bloody battle of Qunce Mountain, the first to annihilate the 44th Reinforced Wing of the Japanese Army to the bloody battle of Shimiaozi, the main force of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army was defeated.

Yang Zhen spoke in detail in every battle. How he thinks and how he makes his determination to fight, including the deployment of troops, is very thorough. He even spoke about some of his habits when directing operations.

It wasn't that he was consciously showing off, but he was eager to get the guidance of this highly accomplished marshal. He believes that his ability to move warfare is still very lacking, and in particular, he has very little experience in commanding large corps operations. He was looking forward to the help of this military master.

When Mr. Lin was narrating Yang Zhen, he just listened quietly, neither interjecting nor commenting. Just listen and nod your head. When Yang Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief for a long time before he sighed: "You are young, but you are so decisive." You have a lot of determination, I won't make it if I change it. ”

"The first battle that our army fought with the Japanese army was commanded by me. I am well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. In the first battle of Pingxingguan that year, the 115th Division ambushed the Japanese army's baggage troops when there was sufficient ammunition and the troops participating in the battle were all old bones from the Long March, and it also suffered thousands of casualties, almost reaching a one-to-one ratio with the Japanese army. It is not easy for you to face the main division of the Japanese army and fight like this. ”

"The Japanese officers and men are well-trained, and their combined combat capabilities are extremely strong, far beyond what we can compare. Even the Kuomintang's most well-trained Central Army, was far from it. Many of the battles you fought were hard-fought battles, and if this determination had been changed to me, I would not have made it lightly. ”

"Of course, there is a reason why your equipment is better than that of our army in the Guannai. But it's not a lucky thing that you can fight like this with a rabble, and expand your army to tens of thousands in a short period of time, and win so many battles in a row. There is a lot of hard work in this, and it is very difficult to achieve. ”

"First of all, your mind as a commander is always very clear, and your judgment of the shape of the battlefield is very accurate. Specifically focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of the Japanese army's tactics, targeted training was formulated. Although it is a bit rushed because the time is still relatively short. But it is precisely these targeted training of yours that enable your troops to compete with the soldiers of the regular divisions of the Japanese army in a short period of time without falling behind. ”

"You are right, the outcome of a battle or battle depends not only on the comparison of the forces of the enemy and the enemy, but also on the disparity in weapons and equipment. It is more necessary for the commander to have a cool head, a judgment of the battlefield situation, and a reasonable tactical arrangement. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Lin smiled and said, "But your combat style is very strange. Sometimes it is big-hearted, and it looks very atmospheric. Sometimes it's a little timid and a little childish. From this point on, it can also be said that you have not yet developed your own conducting style. ”

"In the battle of Qunce Mountain, you rushed to attack Jiamusi, used great depth to intersperse, hit the heart of the enemy, mobilized the Japanese army to return to reinforcements, dispersed its concentrated forces, and created a Zào fighter for your final encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army, which can be described as quite exciting, and can even be described with a stroke of genius, which can be used as a typical example of sports warfare."

"In the ambush at the junction of Wuchang and Acheng, he was able to make a correct judgment in such a short period of time, and took the initiative to defeat the Japanese puppet army before concentrating his forces and firepower before the main force of the Japanese army, changing the passive to the active in one fell swoop, and not only destroying the enemy at a very small cost, but also highlighting the encirclement of the Japanese army. This is difficult to do without a keen sense of battlefield judgment. ”

"But before the battle of Shimiaozi, you argued with your subordinates several times, and a main force was delayed for nearly a night in vain. Your subordinates are front-line commanders, and they have their own judgment. The first time you disobey, it can feel strange, but the second time you should wonder why they insist on their opinion. ”

"Maybe you think that your subordinates are still lacking in command experience, especially in the judgment of the battlefield shape, due to the rapid promotion of your subordinates. But since you can choose from the hundreds of people who broke through at the beginning to serve as military leaders, I don't think you will just maintain the balance within the troops, presumably they are all capable and talented. ”

"Although the subsequent development of the battle situation proved that your judgment was correct, you have not personally seen the terrain of the Xingshan Fortress built by the Japanese army. You will definitely not know more about the situation there than the commanders at the front. ”

"They are commanding on the front line, and they know more about the judgment of the first-line shì than you who are far away in the Qunce Mountain. Although the subsequent battle situation fell into passivity for a time, the facts proved that the determination of the front-line commanders at the beginning was not wrong. And if you analyze it carefully when they disobey the order for the second time, you will not delay most of the night in vain. ”

"So, there are many times when you have to trust your own judgment, but you have to trust your subordinates. Find out the most favorable situation for your side from the information reported by your subordinates, and make up your mind, this is the most important thing a senior commander should have. As a commander who coordinates the whole army, it is not a good thing to do everything yourself. ”

"You can't just look at tactics, but you can't just stay at strategy. It is necessary to integrate tactics and strategy well, and this is what a mature senior commander should have. It can neither be overcorrected, nor can it be completely abandoned. ”

"You told me that you were crossing the river by feeling the stones. But I hope that the shorter your time to touch the stones, the better. Especially under the situation where it is relatively difficult for you to replenish your troops and materials. As far as possible, it is necessary to fight less positional warfare with the Japanese army and more mobile warfare, and organically combine mobile warfare with guerrilla warfare. Neither can destroy the enemy and does not pay attention to saving himself. Nor can we just save ourselves without destroying the enemy. As a commander, you must grasp the degree of this. ”

In the end, it is a marshal, who sees the problem very accurately, and hits the nail on the head. not only pointed out Yang Zhen's advantages in detail, but also was extremely accurate about his immaturity in campaign command. Of course, if it were criticized by another person, it might be more tactful, but if Mr. Lin can do that, it will not be his Mr. Lin's style.

Regarding Mr. Lin's evaluation of himself and the advantages and disadvantages of strategic literacy, Yang Zhen couldn't stop asking for advice on some strategic issues, especially tactical issues, from this military expert who created three groups and one team, three fierce tactics and other tactics for the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us.

As for Yang Zhen's consultation, Mr. Lin, who obviously has a very good impression of him, also gave him advice. All questions are almost always answered. Especially when Yang Zhen asked for advice on whether he should skip the command, he analyzed all the advantages and disadvantages for Yang Zhen in detail. Clearly sue sù Yang Zhen, what form shì can be done, what form shì can not be done.

Not only did he give a lot of advice to Yang Zhen militarily, but even in terms of political work that Yang Zhen did not consult, many things were explained in detail. Neither of them thought that they would talk for most of the night. By the time the conversation was over, it was already dark, and the cooks outside had prepared breakfast.

After Yang Zhen left Mr. Lin's tent, he remembered the conversation he had learned a lot, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "No matter whether there is a myth about this in later generations, but he can always be valued by the leader, from the commander of the Red First Army, to the commander of the 115th Division, and then to the commander of the million-strong army." ”

"There may be some flaws in his character that will be fatal to him in the future, but that does not prevent him from making military achievements. The role he played in the growth of the people's army in later generations cannot be denied by anyone. Putting aside the political factor, but in terms of military literacy, perhaps only the one-eyed marshal can compare. ”
