Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused, then looked at the regiment commander and political commissar beside the boss, and then said: "Boss, the army needs to be trained in order to really grow, I still understand this truth." However, it would be irresponsible for our troops to train such a unit. ”

"This is not a matter of military technology and weaponry, let alone a question of whether the will to fight is firm or not. This new mode of combat is still an unfamiliar territory for them, and indeed for most of our troops. Let most of them even have actual combat experience, and face a new combat mode that they have never experienced before. Boss, this is not to train the troops, this is to completely destroy them. ”

"Boss, you are a military master, in a war, the most critical factor that determines the outcome is not the strength of weapons and equipment, but effective tactics and people's will, which you know better than me. Let such a unit, which has never been on the battlefield, face this kind of enemy. In the case that the situation is not so critical that it is desperate, boss, this determination is not easy to make. ”

Yang Zhen's words fell, but the boss shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You, there are always so many reasons." I've been watching the situation of this Japanese army when it fought you. I still know very well what this Japanese army is like. True, this is not an ordinary Japanese army. ”

"This Japanese army reminds me of the Mashiko Advance Team that appeared in the 41st year, when the Japanese army was sweeping our Taihang District, which made up reconnaissance in our base area and caused us great damage. However, judging from the battle situation reported by the 129th Division that year, there was still a certain degree of gap between the Mashiko advance team and the current Japanese army. ”

"That's exactly what I can see, and that's why I'm worried about your safety. Comrade Yang Zhen, I don't care what your considerations are. But at the moment, you must be responsible for your own safety, not only for you personally, but also for the entire Jizhong battlefield, and even for the future of the entire Anti-Japanese Federation and Northeast China. ”

"I don't want to stress about it. You are now the supreme military commander of the largest and most powerful strategic region in the whole army, and you understand many truths without me saying anything. But today's incident, I still hope that it will not be an example. You have to remember your responsibilities and don't joke about yourself and the safety of your troops. ”

Yang Zhen, who heard the strong concern in the boss's tone, did not refute this generous elder. Although he didn't pat his chest and promised not to make an example, he also tried his best to discourage the boss in his tone. As for the two regiment commanders and political commissars standing on the side, Yang Zhen did not hold them accountable.

There are some things that are not a matter of accountability. Many things have to be done step by step, and they can't be done at one touch. It will take some time for the troops to grow. Pulling out seedlings is not a good habit. The persimmon is still pinched softly first, and this kind of wolf-like opponent is still not suitable.

And when the boss and Yang Zhen were talking, on the other side of the battlefield, a dense cannon sound had already sounded. In the shortest possible time, the artillery company that received the order to participate in the battle poured all the 120 shells it carried into this small cemetery where the remnants of the Japanese army were entrenched.

At the same time, the two 82 mortars that had been deployed in the city also smashed the last dozen or so shells into the last position of the Japanese army. When the artillery fell, the last of the Japanese positions had been razed to the ground. Nearly 140 shells were almost devastating for this narrow strip of land that was less than 30 meters long from east to west and 20 meters wide from north to south.

Blocked by the armored vehicles and infantry fire of the anti-coalition combat forces, this area is not large, except for the grave bag can be used as a bunker, there are hardly any remnants of Japanese troops in the fortified cemetery. In the situation that the opponent's fire is staring at his side, let alone making anti-artillery movements, even if he shows his head, he will be shot.

No matter how well-trained these Japanese soldiers were, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness was. But in the face of dense artillery fire, it was almost impossible to make any evasive actions. When the cannon fell, and the participating troops of the Anti-Japanese Union launched the final charge, there were very few Japanese troops who could resist.

Although there were few remaining Japanese soldiers, they were still desperately resisting. But their resistance has finally been unable to change any situation, nor can they save their own fate. The final battle, which was not fierce, lasted less than twenty minutes, and was completely and silently over.

Seeing that the final battle had ended, Yang Zhen, who didn't want too many people to know about some things, asked the regiment commander and political commissar to bring all their troops back. He made a strange gesture directly to the guard battalion commander who was in charge of the final command of the battle in front of him.

After seeing No. 1's gesture, the guard battalion commander also took his subordinates without any politeness, took out the pistols he was wearing, and replenished all the Japanese corpses one by one. Including the wounded soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness, as well as the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed in previous battles, one by one was refilled.

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, this is Yang Zhen's only idea now. It's not just that these people can't be given the opportunity to go back alive during the war, and to retrain a group of similar troops. Including in the near future, Yang Zhen did not want the Japanese, including the Americans at that time, to master the theory of special operations in a short period of time.

Although Yang Zhen also knows that this combat mode is no longer a secret. At the end of '44, the Germans, whom the Americans would come into contact with, taught them the most vivid lesson. But Yang Zhen's meaning is to let the Americans explore slowly, sometimes some new combat theories are formed too quickly, which is not conducive to the growth of others, isn't it?

The Germans were certainly the first to eat crabs, but both the Germans and the British, who have now formed several special forces, are also in the limelight on the North African battlefield. Although the whole concept is much more advanced than that of the Japanese army. But they are all in the grass-roots creation period, and they are still far from being truly mature.

There is no doubt that they can give the Americans some experience. But the real thing is still up to the Americans to figure it out for themselves. At present, the similar operational concept of the Anti-Japanese Union is far from being comparable between Britain and Germany. Yang Zhen didn't want these Japanese to give too much help to the Americans after returning to their homeland after the war.

The most important thing is that Yang Zhen does not want Americans to know too much about the situation of the Chinese in this regard. There are some things that can be covered up for a while, and it is necessary to cover them up for a while as much as possible. Exactly where the Japanese went, there is not much information available now. But I still have to use all means to avoid the leakage of news in some aspects as much as possible.

With a variety of considerations, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots has become the best choice. The gesture he made to the commander of his guard battalion was in the special sign language used by the special forces of the Anti-United Nations, a sign language that expressed the meaning of a complete solution. This guard battalion commander was transferred from the special forces, and he was naturally quite familiar with the meaning of this gesture.

When he first made this gesture, the boss and the staff officers, guards and others around him still didn't know what Yang Zhen's gesture meant. But when the commander of the guard battalion, with his subordinates, replenished the guns of the Japanese army one by one, almost all the cadres and soldiers of the 18th Group Army present understood what his strange gesture meant.

But at this time, it was too late for them to stop it. Especially when I saw the ordinary soldiers, all the cadres were extremely skilled in mending their guns. And when it came to the position of the replenishment gun, all of them were in the center of the eyebrows, and all the people looked at Yang Zhen and his subordinates, and they all changed a little.

Obviously, for Yang Zhen's intentions, no matter what kind of ideas he had, it was difficult for the boss to accept. Not only the boss, but also everyone in the 18th Group Army, who has always paid attention to the three disciplines and the eight points of attention, and treated prisoners preferentially, it is difficult for them to accept this kind of thing, which in their opinion, only the Japanese like beasts can do.

If it weren't for Yang Zhen's identity, it would be there. Several staff officers and officers around the boss had to find Yang Zhen to theorize. As for the moment, although I dare not theoretical, the voice of discussion is quite large. Regarding the discussion of these young staff officers and officers, Yang Zhen just smiled and didn't care.

Preferential treatment of prisoners is not a bad policy. But the prisoners are given preferential treatment, and the score is aimed at what kind of captives they are. If it was an ordinary Japanese prisoner of war, Yang Zhen would naturally not do this. But for these people who are really hidden dangers, Yang Zhen didn't feel anything wrong.

Looking at the boss who wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Zhen, who knew what this generous elder was thinking in his heart, smiled faintly and said, "Boss, you also saw the previous battle with your own eyes." What kind of qualities these Japanese troops were, you have also seen with your own eyes. Whether it is fighting, marksmanship, or techniques and tactics, they are all painstakingly and specially trained. ”

"So these Japanese wounded, do you think that after we have treated them, there is a prisoner of war camp that can hold them? We don't have the time or energy to build special prisoner of war camps for these people, let alone the people who can see them. To put these people in ordinary prisoner-of-war camps is to find trouble for yourself. ”

"Once these Japanese troops escape, not to mention how much trouble these specially trained troops will cause us. Is it that they ran back all the way without committing any crimes, let them sum up the experience of this battle, train one or several more troops, and then come back to find our account? This time we were lucky, our own guard battalion was concentrated in the county seat. ”

"If this happens again next time, will we still be so lucky? Another point is that the target of this Japanese sneak attack was my headquarters. What if they choose the headquarters of the 18th Group Army, or the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, or the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, or the Shandong Military Region? ”

"Even if we take the airborne approach to raid Yan'an, what should we do? The guards of the central and fraternal forces are not specially trained. You must know that every time these people escape, they will become the seeds of the Japanese army to reorganize a new unit. ”

"The military and political leaders of each of our regions have gone through countless hardships and dangers to get to where they are today. These people are the precious wealth of our party and our army, and no matter who loses anyone, it will be irreparable for us. There are some things I don't want to do, but I can't help but do them. ”

"Even if it is pointed out by a thousand people, I will nip even the slightest danger in the bud. For some things, even though I don't want to, cutting the grass and rooting it is often the best option. I don't care what the Japanese army thinks about this new tactic. ”

"What do you think about this new tactic? What I do know is that if I find them once, I'm going to get rid of them once and for all. Absolutely no fraternal troops will be left with any hidden security hazards. Boss, if you cut the grass and don't remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and grows. ”
