441. Abandonment of the coastline
The little devil's marines appeared in sight in advance, causing Bai Shujie to be highly vigilant. In the past few years, he has been reluctant from the bottom of his heart to cause a big deflection in real history because of his appearance.
However, the sixth division of the little devil could not return to the island for rectification twice in a row, especially this time he deliberately let him go, hoping that the sixth division could return to the island smoothly, but he did not expect the Kwantung Army Commander's Headquarters to temporarily change his hexagram, which completely disrupted Bai Shujie's wishful thinking.
Some time ago, thinking that many places are now a little different from the original inherent history, Bai Shujie began to feel uneasy in his heart. Changes have taken place in the Guisui line, changes in the western Liaoning corridor, changes in North China, and the most important thing is that the ownership of the strategic place of Rehe Province has undergone a fundamental change.
"Damn, since it's a fait accompli, then you can only go on hard!" After Bai Shujie sent Meng Kaihua, Zhang Jingfu and Luo Xiaoshan away, he recalled everything in the past, and finally made up his mind: "As long as you don't let out Rehe, it is impossible for the original history to be restored to its original appearance, so there is no need to be timid, just do it with your conscience." As for success or failure, let time tell! ”
As for the formation of a special combat team, Bai Shujie is ready to no longer care about the trend of history, but to carry out strategic planning in accordance with the reality that has been formed. Originally, it was thought that it was enough to send Chen Jie's task force to make trouble for the little devils, but now it seems that the strength is still too small, so Bai Shujie decided to form another unit to infiltrate it and complete some special combat missions.
Once Meng Kaihua's unit is trained, it can echo Chen Jie. At that time, Chen Jie's task force was specifically responsible for making trouble in the South Manchurian region, and Meng Kaihua's special team was responsible for creating trouble for the little devils in North Manchuria!
"Damn, if you want to play infiltration, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will give you a few more infiltrations in the future!" Bai Shujie gestured on the map with the help of the light, and couldn't help sneering: "Little devil, just wait, Lao Tzu will make it easier for you to move the four task forces in the future!" Wei Chong in North China, Chen Jie in South Manchuria, Gao Erwa in North Korea, plus Meng Kaihua in North Manchuria, with these four tigers, Lao Tzu will see what you should do! ”
In fact, Bai Shujie has a wish in his heart that he can't talk about it with others. Once the Meng Kaihua special team is formed, it will have to undertake two major tasks. Originally, it was planned for Chen Jie's task force to carry out these two jihuas, but the little devil's marines suddenly appeared, making Bai Shujie have to be careful. This is all for later, so I won't mention it.
After making up his mind, Bai Shujie drafted two telegrams overnight and handed them to Wang Xinlan to send out immediately, giving instructions on the next work direction of Chen Jie, Gao Erwa and Wei Chong.
After thinking about these trivial matters thoroughly, Bai Shujie went back to planning the issue of adding an artillery regiment to the front-line main division.
This issue was already in full swing eight months ago, and if it weren't for the series of sudden wars that followed, this work would have been implemented.
However, although it has not been deployed, as a temporary "artillery training school", the heavy artillery regiment and shadow artillery regiment directly under Bai Shujie's general headquarters have been intensively training artillery talents. Zhao Dayong, commander of the heavy artillery regiment, was specifically responsible for carrying out the combat mission of the heavy artillery regiment, and Shen Guodong, deputy commander of the regiment, was responsible for the training of the artillery.
After more than a year of hard work, the basic conditions for the expansion of the artillery regiment have been met. Moreover, in the Sanxiandong base area, it is still the same as the infantry supplementary brigade, which is a student corps formed in formation. As long as the troops have a military supervisor at the top, they can directly pull the troops out to participate in the battle.
Although Bai Shujie hated the Oriental dwarf, the "division and regiment supplementary system" created by the little devil was recognized by Bai Shujie! Because of this, Bai Shujie has a few reorganization divisions in his hands, and there are several supplementary brigades in the Sanxian Cave Base Area!
In that year, Gan Tong was arranged to come over to build the Sanxiandong base area, and Bai Shujie had already formulated an outline for the implementation of the replenishment of the military resources of each brigade. Gan Tong and the three old men understood what was going on at a glance.
For example, Zhang Xiang's first division corresponds to the first supplementary brigade! Zhang Xiang's 1st Division has a guard battalion and three combat regiments, and the 1st Supplementary Brigade is also a guard battalion and three combat regiments! However, the number of supplementary brigades was two-thirds of that of the first-line divisions. Below this figure is when the recruitment process begins.
Every time a new recruit is replenished to the front-line troops, it is the season of military competition to replenish the brigade. Then according to the comprehensive results, the ranking will be carried out, and those who meet the ranking requirements will enter the front-line combat units.
Because of this, the competition in the supplementary brigade is very fierce! Because no recruit wants to stay in the supplementary brigade for the rest of his life, once it gets out, it's easy to say it's not good!
If it weren't for the military service supplement system borrowed from the little devils, Bai Shujie would not have been able to rapidly expand his troops and cope with the increasingly difficult situation of struggle.
Just like this time, Lan Caiqin suddenly lost an infantry company and half a reconnaissance company, and Gan Tong received an application for replenishment of troops, and the two formations were immediately in place. Ensure that the front-line troops are always in a state of full strength, so as not to affect Bai Shujie's formulation of the campaign.
Gan Tong holds the title of garrison commander, but several garrison divisions belong to combat units, but they have different emphases and accept the unified command of Bai Shujie and Zhao Jinxi.
Therefore, Gan Tong's main energy is to strengthen the construction of reserve forces and the support work in the base areas. This is mainly because Gan Tong is worse than Zhao Jinxi in terms of strategy, but his rigorous and meticulous work style is on par with Zhao Jinxi.
To put it bluntly, Gan Tong is suitable for doing specific and complex practical work; Zhao Jinxi is suitable for undertaking the kind of macro regulation and control work that is unrestrained and open-and-close.
The two women beside Bai Shujie are loyal and have a clear division of labor, one external and one internal. Chief of Staff Lu Ming, the junior brother, usually doesn't hum or ha, uh, it should be called silent dedication, and his main energy is to maintain the normal operation of the headquarters, coordinate the relationship between various departments and troops, so that Bai Shujie can often be the shopkeeper.
Just like this time it was decided to expand the artillery regiment for all the front-line main divisions, Bai Shujie drafted an order and threw it to Zhao Jinxi and Lu Ming, and then went to consider other issues. As for whether the artillery regiment will be able to function according to the time he has set, he does not bother to ask.
Bai Shujie considered two problems: the first is that the Sixth Division is still building fortifications, and even got a lot of cement to build bunkers! The second is the status of the Liaoning West Corridor, which is still in the hands of Lan Caiqin's Third Division.
Bai Shujie expressed great appreciation for the spirit of "hard work" of the Sixth Division: "You guys just do it well, when Lao Tzu frees up his hands and smashes it with heavy artillery, it will all be solved for you!" ”
What really made Bai Shujie hesitate was the issue of the Liaoning West Corridor. Suizhong County, Xingcheng County, and Jinxi County (now Huludao City), which are close to the Bohai Bay, are purely a chicken rib for the Rehe Front Army - the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it!
Just like now, it is necessary to guard against the sudden dispatch of troops from Jinzhou by the little devils, and at the same time to guard against a surprise attack by the detachment of the little devils from the sea. In fact, these three places are meaningless to Bai Shujie!
The little devil attaches great importance to the Liaoxi Corridor because from here he can directly enter Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) and keep in touch with the Tianjin garrison at any time. This corridor was also the most convenient passage for the Kwantung Army to enter North China.
But for Bai Shujie, within the Great Wall to the west is the territory of the Tianjin garrison army of Tatianjun, to the east Jinzhou is the territory of the Eighth Division of the Little Devils, and to the south is the sea!
Bai Shujie has mentioned many times on different occasions, "If the little devils attack, they will abandon these places and withdraw the troops into the fortress group." Because he is not easy to say "directly give up a large piece of land", he is worried that the people below him will say that he "does not resist" and "betrays the country".
It's a pity that Lan Caiqin, the little junior sister, didn't fully understand the good intentions of the senior brother, and her character as a woman determined that she would not give up what she got easily.
"Whether it is useful or not, it is mine in my hands; You want to take it, but there is no door! - This is the logic of women: no concessions, no compromises!
A woman's way of thinking is sometimes not something that a man can understand. Men who reason with women are all fools!
Bai Shujie once privately asked Lan Caiqin's opinion, but the reply he got was: "I haven't had time to swim in the sea yet, how can I hand it over casually?" If the 33rd Brigade of the little devils comes back and I want to go swimming in the sea, will they agree? Really! Bai Shujie rolled his eyes.
Of course, after hitting the south wall, smart women will choose to turn back.
This time, she lost a complete infantry company overnight, especially after seeing the scene of the martyrs being assassinated, Lan Caiqin finally realized the foresight of her senior brother, and she had already begun to regret it in her heart:
"Actually, Senior Brother's worries are right, and the way to deal with them is also right! Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves! Give these places to the devils, let them invest and build here, when do I want to get it back, just like last time, a surprise attack will do! ”
"These three counties are in their hands, and now they let themselves worry about it every day, why don't they just hand it over, so that the little devil can't sleep all day long? Anyway, under the threat of our heavy artillery, the little devils can't go north, there is no threat at all. ”
Thinking about the key point, Lan Caiqin sent a telegram to Bai Shujie for the first time: "In view of the special geographical environment of the Tashan position, it has been decided to reduce the defensive force, from the original one company to the current one squad. The original defensive position was changed to the current forward observation post. Its purpose is mainly to monitor the enemy's movements, not to deploy as an active defense. ”
"Isn't that right?" Bai Shujie received this telegram from Lan Caiqin yesterday afternoon, and he was also relieved: "Jin Xi, call Lan Caiqin back immediately and agree to her deployment adjustment." Two observation posts were set up at the Tashan position, and a permanent lookout was established at the North Changling Mountain Artillery Position as a heavy artillery observation post for the Jade Emperor Peak Fortress. The deployment of troops in the three locations should not exceed one squad. ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
