Guo Bingxun's words made Yang Zhen fall into deep thought, and he said for a long time: "As early as when the new reinforcements of the Japanese army arrived in the northeast of Jin, I considered mobilizing supplementary troops for the battlefield in northern Jin, but what we lack most now is supplementary soldiers. It is not only Chen Hanzhang who has used the force to the extreme, but the entire army is like this now. ”

"In the Rehe battlefield, the strength of the army is already the minimum security limit, and no formed division can be withdrawn. The location there is critical, and in the event of any accidents, the supply lines of the entire Western Front cluster will be completely cut off. And if we reopen, the price we will have to pay is far greater than we can afford. Maintaining the stability of the Rehe battlefield is what we need most. ”

"Now in the Northeast Battlefield, the Japanese army's counterattack is quite strong. In terms of the use of troops, it is also in an extremely tense situation. Even itself, now it needs a large number of replenishment troops. Although the advance army there was more abundant troops, they had to face a division of the Japanese army that had just been put into the battlefield, and the pressure was also quite great. At present, a division, even a lightly armed division, where we draw it from is my biggest headache. ”

"The 20,000 recruits mobilized by Gao Yumin from the newly liberated areas in this operation have just begun to conduct basic training, and they are far from being able to devote themselves to front-line operations. At present, the second-level military regions basically have no troops to adjust, except for a few internal security units that are responsible for guarding key targets. The veteran troops who have completed the full training are really unable to be transferred now. ”

When it comes to replenishing soldiers, Yang Zhen is the most headache. This is not only a matter of needing reinforcements on the battlefield in northern Jin, but the entire northeast battlefield is also in a similar situation. The losses of the various units in the battle have not been replenished for a long time. At present, the front-line troops can only ensure the integrity of the main forces participating in the war through continuous downsizing.

Now there are four or five divisions that have been transferred back to the rear to rest, which have become a shelf. The battlefield in northern Jin is even better, not to mention the battalions and companies that have been wiped out on the battlefield in the northeast, and there are even entire regiments of troops. However, most of the sources of these shelf divisions to replenish their troops have not yet been found.

The mobilization potential of soldiers in the old area is already digging embers. Gao Yumin spent a lot of money to mobilize 20,000 new soldiers in the newly liberated areas of the Northeast Battlefield. However, these 20,000 recruits still need a lot of time to mobilize, and in a short period of time, they will not be able to devote themselves to front-line operations at all.

Considering the replenishment of troops and the actual situation in the Northeast Battlefield, Yang Zhen even pulled up the Korean Independence Army as a whole. At present, the front-line troops are waiting to be fed, and only the most basic left-behind personnel are now retained in the rear base areas. Even though he knew that the battlefield in northern Jin was in urgent need of reinforcements, he was already without troops.

Yang Zhen's headache and difficulties, how can Guo Bingxun not know. After repeatedly calculating the actual situation in the current base area, he raised his head and said: "No. 1, in this way, another regiment will be transferred from the Rehe battlefield as the backbone regiment, and we will leave the armored corps, artillery, and other technical arms in the five battalions of guard troops at each base in the rear, and each battalion will transfer two companies out. ”

"In this way, ten infantry companies can be drawn out, which is basically a reinforced regiment. These guard units are all units with complete military training. Although the main task on weekdays is to guard the army, it is the field army that is pulled out. Add to that a regiment drawn from the Battle of Rehe, so that we have two complete infantry regiments in our hands. ”

"With these two regiments as the foundation, the 10 th Division withdrawn from the Xinjing battlefield for rest and recuperation as the command organs, and the remaining two battalions and the remaining cadres as the backbone, it will be possible to organize into a formed division in a short period of time. Although the troops incorporated are a little messy, they can still be organized into a whole division. ”

"If I can, I think that the 13th Engineer Regiment, which is currently the only one directly under the headquarters that has no combat mission, will either be incorporated into this department, or transferred to the Western Front battlefield as a separate combat unit, as a direct unit of the Western Cluster. In addition, all of these American-made mountain guns were also allocated to the Western Front. ”

"Chen Hanzhang transferred a few mountain artillery battalions there, and the unit's firepower was weakened to a certain extent. Although the weight of this American-made mountain cannon is slightly larger than that of the Japanese-style mountain guns. But the overall performance is okay. After settling the matter with the Soviet Union, the Americans transferred another 20,000 shells, which was enough for us to use for a while. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun hesitated and said: "No. 1, I see if the task of building the Tongliao-Kailu railway, which is now underway, will be stopped for the time being." From the railway corps column formed last year, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th reorganized regiments were transferred, plus the remaining strength of several other units that had been withdrawn to the base areas for reorganization, and another division was formed with the 13 th Division as the backbone. The redundant American-made mountain artillery, plus the Soviet-made cannons as imitation prototypes, formed the divisional artillery as a reserve for the Northeast Battlefield. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's construction, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "I think it's okay, but the regiment on the Rehe battlefield should not be transferred." They are the junction of the two major battlefields of our army, although there is basically no war at the moment, but after all, the importance of location is there. When troops are deployed, it will be difficult to ensure the security of the joints. ”

"You transferred two battalions from the Headquarters Guard Regiment. From the 1st Paratrooper Division, which had already completed the southward operation, four battalions were transferred from the whole organization. Although the 1st Paratrooper Division suffered considerable losses in the operation, it still maintained its organizational integrity and still had two-thirds of its total strength. ”

"Now that the development of the entire battle situation has burned his eyebrows, the others can no longer be taken care of, and the immediate is the main thing. The formation of the 1st Paratrooper Division can be postponed for a period of time, but the battle situation cannot wait. As long as the land connection with the Kannai is opened, there will be new reinforcements sooner or later. ”

"But the railroad soldiers, don't draw out three regiments at once. There are only six regiments in total, and if you take three regiments, you will be able to weaken half of your strength at once. The emergency repair of the railway has just begun, and whether the railway can be completed in the shortest possible time is directly related to our future development. ”

"The climate of the Northeast is there again, the time available for construction is short, and the solar terms are not waiting for anyone. The sooner the railway opens, the sooner we can relieve the pressure. In this way, the 1st Regiment and the 5th Regiment were transferred, and the remaining parts of the other retreat and re-replenishment divisions were added to form a division with the 13th Division as the backbone. ”

"In this way, you will arrange to concentrate all the air force transport aircraft units in the northeast. This division should not be unified to northern Shanxi after it is formed. First, the division's direct subordinate team was transported to northern Jin, and the rest of the troops were concentrated in one regiment and one regiment was transported away. The task of formation was carried out at the beginning of the Jinbei period. ”

Yang Zhen agreed to transfer the railway soldiers, but Guo Bingxun did not feel surprised. Now the construction of the railway from Tongliao to Kailu has just begun. Constrained by technical conditions and engineering raw materials, it is not possible to use so many troops for the time being. It is entirely possible to draw out some of it appropriately.

But when he heard that General Yang Zhen had been in the same eyes since it was formed, except for participating in the previous harvester plan, he had never participated in the battle, and the 1st Paratrooper Division, which had been training, was transferred out of four battalions in one go. Even the headquarters guard regiment took out two battalions, and Guo Bingxun knew that No. 1 was preparing to smash the pot and sell iron.

After hesitating for a moment, considering the shape of the entire battlefield, Guo Bingxun still did not object. One is right, it's time to burn his eyebrows, and he can't think about it. As long as you can get through the connection with the customs and recruit replenishment, you can solve the problem.

As for the rest, it's better to put it aside for the time being. However, considering the whole situation of Chen Hanzhang, Guo Bingxun ordered Chen Hanzhang to stop the operation of transferring all the rescued laborers from Datong back to the northeast. First, in terms of logistics, it is already a bit unburdened.

The transfer of a large number of laborers from Datong back to Northeast China is also a heavy burden on logistics. Moreover, since Datong has been brought under control and all these laborers have been transferred back to the northeast, it will also affect the recovery of the Datong mine. Datong's coal mines are all high-quality industrial coal.

This coal is also crucial to the construction of a military industrial base in northern Shaanxi. After the end of the battle, if the Datong Coal Mine wanted to resume production as much as possible, it could not drain all the laborers at once. Another point is that most of these laborers have now recovered from their physical condition, and Guo Bingxun believes that it is completely possible to mobilize some recruits on the spot.

Guo Bingxun asked Chen Hanzhang to organize all the laborers under the age of 25 and over the age of 17 into several new regiments on the spot. A number of competent military and political personnel have been dispatched and trained for reorganization. At the same time, find a way to communicate with the two major regions of Jinsui and Jinchaji, and recruit a group of recruits on the spot.

Even if only two regiments of recruits can be recruited, it can slightly ease the pressure on the headquarters at the moment. As for the required weapons and ammunition, it was solved by the headquarters from the Northeast. In a word, it is necessary to adopt the necessary means to ensure the sufficient number of troops needed for the battlefield in northern Jin.

In fact, Guo Bingxun has some opinions about Chen Hanzhang's transfer of all the prisoners of war rescued from Taiyuan to the Jinsui Military Region. Although all of these people have been captured, there is no problem with one thing: they are all veterans who have completed basic training.

As long as familiarization, training, and mobilization are carried out in a short period of time, combat effectiveness can be formed in the shortest possible time and a certain gap in strength can be filled. Even if you leave 5,000 people behind, replenishing the troops can also reduce your own pressure and fill the formation and gaps of the troops.

Now you can do it, more than 10,000 people were all given to the Jinsui Military Region at once. The gap in the Jinsui Military Region was replenished all at once, not to mention, and some of it was still supported. But you yourself still need the headquarters to find a way to transfer supplementary troops from the northeast to you.

Looking at the order drafted by Guo Bingxun to Chen Hanzhang, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. However, after the order was issued, Yang Zhen said to Guo Bingxun: "You ask Gao Yumin to put down everything else for me for the time being." Take all the personnel of his political department to the new district. ”

"Sue him, I give him five days to find a way to mobilize more than 30,000 new soldiers in the new district. I wouldn't mind if I could have more. The newly liberated counties are all traditional counties with large populations in Northeast China. There is even a county with a population of several counties in the old base area. Mobilizing between three and fifty thousand recruits should not be too difficult. ”

"In addition, all the 20,000 recruits who have been mobilized have been distributed to the various divisions that have been withdrawn and recuperated, so as to speed up the reorganization and training of these recruits. First of all, the structure of these divisions should be fleshed out. In addition, among the people that Lee Myung-bak snatched back from Mukden this time, he also sent a group of political workers to recruit as many soldiers as possible. ”

"We have paid some price for this harvester operation. However, tens of thousands of workers were snatched back from Fengtian, Anshan, Benxi Lake, and Fushun, tens of thousands of laborers, and a large number of people. In our future industrial development, the pressure on workers will be much less. In my opinion, it is entirely possible to mobilize some of the young and middle-aged people who were originally planned to supplement the workers into the troops. ”
