Chapter 258: You're Fooling Yourself
After the shape shì steady dìng down. Yang Zhen did not move his headquarters to Jiamusi, the largest city in the current base area, but continued to stay in Xingshan Fortress. In Yang Zhen's view, Jiamusi is indeed much more prosperous and lively than Xingshan Street, a military powerhouse. But being a theater command in wartime is not a good option.
If the headquarters is placed in Jiamusi, it is not only easy to leak secrets, but also has low security. Now the Japanese army is helpless against itself on the battlefield, but once it takes other means to solve itself, it is likely to implicate the people of Jiamusi. Yang Zhen didn't want his headquarters in Jiamusi to become the second Huangshan official residence.
And there is no way to compare Jiamusi with Chongqing. Jiamusi was too close to the Japanese front line, and the Japanese bombers could fly to Jiamusi within an hour of taking off from the Mudanjiang River. Although Li Mingrui destroyed hundreds of Japanese planes at Jiamusi Airport at one time, he could only curb the activities of Japanese planes in a short period of time.
More than 100 planes are just a drop in the ocean for a country that has its own aircraft industry and can produce all its parts and components on its own. It won't take long for this loss to be replenished. Moreover, as the largest heavy army group of the Japanese army, the combat aircraft under the Kwantung Army, which protects its so-called Manchurian lifeline, are not only these more than 100.
As far as Yang Zhen knows, the Japanese army has stationed a large number of air forces in Hailar in Xing'an, Qiqihar in Longjiang, Harbin in Binjiang, and Xinjing, Gongzhuling, and Mukden in South Manchuria. In the south, two Japanese light bomber squadrons were stationed in Tokyo City, Hailang, and Wenchun on the Mudanjiang River, and a Japanese fighter squadron was stationed in Bamiantong in Muling.
These Japanese planes were all prepared to be used against the Soviet Union, and they were basically not mobilized during the campaign, except for a light bomber squadron. In addition to the air forces originally stationed in the Jiamusi area, the air forces mobilized by the Japanese army during the battle were all transferred from Harbin, Gongzhuling, Dunhua, Yanji, and even North Korea.
Needless to say, if the Japanese army once they learned that they and their headquarters were in Jiamusi and decided to bomb Jiamusi like they bombed Chongqing, the Japanese army would not have done this kind of thing. Japanese planes stationed in various parts of Mudanjiang and Muling arrived in the blink of an eye. At that time, it doesn't matter if you are you, but you can't bring unnecessary casualties to the people.
Therefore, not only did Yang Zhen not only move the military headquarters to Jiamusi, but also did not agree to the request of the Northeast Bureau to be stationed. In addition to leaving behind the necessary garrison troops in Jiamusi, as well as the corresponding institutions and anti-terrorist personnel, all military organs and combat units were withdrawn.
Of course, at the request of Li Yanlu, chairman of the Northeast Working Committee of Luobei, who arrived at the end of the campaign, Yang Zhen finally agreed to set up the Northeast Working Committee to undertake the construction of local administration in Jiamusi after careful consideration. After all, as a local government, it is more suitable to set up in a larger city.
However, even if all the troops were withdrawn from Jiamusi, Yang Zhen used the only nine Japanese-style 88-type 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, six Taisho 14-type 105 antiaircraft guns, plus 14 96-type 25-mm anti-aircraft guns and six anti-aircraft searchlights captured at the same airport. As well as the formation of an air defense regiment from the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns that had been incorporated into the troops, which remained in Jiamusi.
This time, he took Jiamusi, and Yang Zhen's good things were not less. Not only a large number of supplies, food, and clothing. It was also seized at Jiamusi Airport, and when Li Mingrui attacked Jiamusi Airport, he was lucky to escape because he was parked some distance from the main apron. However, because the pilot was killed, two Japanese 100-style transport planes and two training planes climbed on the airfield.
In addition, 11 large-caliber anti-aircraft guns used by the Japanese army to undertake the air defense tasks of the airport and key areas were captured around the airport and several air defense points around Jiamusi. It doesn't matter if those Taisho 105-mm anti-aircraft guns are bulky because they are heavy, but those 88-type 75-mm anti-aircraft guns are good things.
These large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, including the fourteen 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, were originally used to equip the Xingshan fortress. It's just that before it was transported to Xingshan Fortress, it was served by Yang Zhen in a pot. The original place of interment has been lost, and these anti-aircraft guns have not been transported back to their original formation. Instead, it was left in Jiamusi as a support point for protecting the Japanese army's future operations against the Soviet Union.
In order to ensure the air defense safety of the citizens of Jiamusi, Yang Zhen left all the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. As for the instructors, among the Japanese prisoners of war captured on the front line of the Lianjiang Estuary and when Li Mingrui seized the important place of Jiamusi, there were officers and men of the First Independent Field Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade, the First Independent Antiaircraft Artillery Squadron, and the Third Searchlight Squadron of the Kwantung Army, which were specially formed to undertake the air defense task of the Xingshan Fortress at the beginning, but because the fortress was lost, they were assigned to the Fifth Army directly under the Fifth Army.
Perhaps because they were engaged in technical work, the temperament of these Japanese officers and soldiers did not have the tenacity of field divisions. Although it is better than those in the 4th Division, it is not much stronger. In contrast to the two completely different living conditions of working as a coolie to atone for the sins of Japanese imperialism and enjoying the treatment of an allowance-level expert, Yang Zhen easily found some Japanese officers and soldiers who were willing to serve, and even a captain squadron leader to serve him.
Yang Zhen selected five of the technical backbones and 25 soldiers from the willingness to serve the great cause of the Chinese people's anti-fascism to form the so-called instructor team. In addition, a number of educated officers and men were transferred from their own units to supplement the independent antiaircraft artillery regiment directly under the military region.
Yang Zhen left all the Japanese-style anti-aircraft guns captured in Jiamusi to serve as air defense, and his troops only had some French-made and Soviet-made antiaircraft machine guns, except for the 12 Swiss Surothong anti-aircraft guns in the secret warehouse handed over by Ma Chunsheng and the 12 Japanese-made 98-type 20-mm antiaircraft guns captured by Li Mingrui at Guanmenzuizi Mountain.
After completing the formation of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, Yang Zhen did not stop in Jiamusi, the largest city in Sanjiang Province, but withdrew to Xingshan Fortress as soon as possible.
The battle is all over, but it doesn't mean that Yang Zhen can come down easily. The adjustment of equipment, the replenishment of troops, the evacuation of captured materials, and of course, the placement of Japanese prisoners, a bunch of messy things were waiting for him. It's just that Yang Zhen looks like a busy and flawless doppelganger on the surface, but in fact, what he is thinking in his heart at this time, except for what Guo Bingxun noticed, only he knows.
As a matter of fact, the structure of the army is now barely sound, and there are many things that he no longer needs to deal with personally. With the adjustment of equipment and the replenishment of troops, Guo Bingxun is familiar with the road. For the evacuation and disposal of seized materials, Zhang Zhenhua can also pick it up completely. As for the placement of Japanese prisoners of war, although Gao Yumin somewhat disagreed with Yang Zhen's approach in some aspects, it was completely manageable.
These things are also done by these people on weekdays, except for the deployment of cadres and the adjustment of the troop establishment, Yang Zhen basically does not interfere much. In his own words, he is not fit for such trivial work. It's just that after the end of this battle, these things that Yang Zhen had basically let go of on weekdays were picked up by him again this time. I personally inquire about everything and handle it personally.
Yang Zhen's abnormal appearance, Gao Yumin did not pay much attention to it because he was mainly responsible for Li Yanping, and had little daily contact with Yang Zhen. But Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and Zhang Zhenhua felt unusual.
Looking at Yang Zhen, who had not rested for three full days after work, Guo Bingxun, who was dragged by Li Yanping to Yang Zhen's door, shook his head and sighed, and said to Li Yanping beside him: "Zhang Ting's sacrifice is not said by him, but it actually hit him hard. He wanted to use his work to numb himself. ”
Guo Bingxun's words, Li Yanping didn't understand. It's just going on like this, Yang Zhen's body? After hesitating for a moment, Li Yanping put down his hand that wanted to push the door in to persuade Yang Zhen to rest, turned his head to Guo Bingxun and said, "Old Guo, you persuade him." The commander-in-chief went to Jiangbei and was not there, and now the entire army is the only one you can persuade him to stop. ”
"If this continues, I'm afraid his body won't be able to support it for long. No matter how good your health is, no matter how young you are, you can't afford to stay up all day and night. He is the head of the first army, and if he really breaks down his body in this way, he will not only be irresponsible to himself, but also irresponsible to the troops. ”
Hearing this, Guo Bingxun shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Political commissar, this matter is not easy to persuade, heart disease still needs heart medicine after all." If you don't open this kind of heart knot, it is difficult for others to persuade you to move. In this way, you go to the health department, don't they have sleeping pills seized in Jiamusi? Ask them to pick the one with fewer side effects, break it up and mix it into the water for him to drink. Let him sleep first, and then talk about the rest when he wakes up. ”
Guo Bingxun's idea made Li Yanping stunned slightly, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Old Guo, I asked you to go in and persuade him, why did you come up with such an idea?" Are sleeping pills something to be eaten casually? He is the commander of the military region and the secretary of the Secretariat of the Northeast Bureau, what if something goes wrong with him? ”
It's really a shame that Guo Bingxun, as the chief of staff of the dignified military region, was able to come up with such a ridiculous idea as giving Yang Zhen sleeping pills. Can that thing be eaten blindly, and if something happens to it, who will take the responsibility?
Li Yanping's opposition did not surprise Guo Bingxun. He came up with this idea to make a little joke and let Li Yanping relax. It's just that in Guo Bingxun's opinion, as long as Yang Zhen can take a full rest, it is okay to take some alternative measures when necessary. But jokes are jokes, and Guo Bingxun also knows that he should also persuade him.
Before Guo Bingxun could say what he promised to persuade Yang Zhen, Li Yanping suddenly dragged him and said, "Old Guo, do you say that sleeping pills are in danger to people's bodies?" If I eat it once in a while, will there be any bad effects? ”
Guo Bingxun shook his head and said, "That thing is mainly for sedation and hypnosis. In Europe and the United States, people with insomnia generally use this. Occasionally use a little appropriately, as long as the dose is not large, there is no danger to the human body. However, it is best not to take it for a long time, as it is easy to become addictive after taking it for a long time. The commander had not used it before, and he could not use much of a dose. A little estimate is enough, but I know the exact dosage, so you have to ask the doctor. ”
After listening to Guo Bingxun's introduction to the effects of sleeping pills, the key is to use it once in a while, as long as the dose is not large, there is no problem, Li Yanping pondered for a long time, looked at the light coming out of Yang Zhen's house, gritted his teeth and said: "Old Guo, then you can go in and persuade you." I went to the health clinic and asked the doctor about it. If you really can't do it, just do as you say. ”
"As long as I can let him sleep well, I don't care so much. His body is important, and he can only take some alternative means when necessary. Treat your head first if you have a headache, and then talk about it when your feet hurt. You go first and persuade him, if it doesn't work, give him medicine, and I'll take on any responsibility. ”
Li Yanping, who was resolutely opposed just now, suddenly changed his mind, which made Guo Bingxun stunned for a moment and then couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Political commissar, I was joking with you just now." If it works, you've got it in your mind. Although it doesn't matter if you take a small dose of that thing, if you let someone catch it, it will be enough for you to eat a pot. ”
"Although that thing is accustomed to in Europe, the United States, and big cities such as Shanghai, I am afraid that many people in our army cannot accept it. After all, it's medicine, even if you don't understand what that thing does, you know that it's a medicine that is poisonous. Especially if you eat too much of that thing, it can kill people. In this case, I should try to persuade him, and I will not take other methods. ”
However, for Li Yanping's idea of selflessness and wholeheartedly considering Yang Zhen, Guo Bingxun, who was very moved, hesitated and said: "You go to the most reliable doctor to ask for the dose, and take two tablets for backup first." If it doesn't work, this is the way it goes. What is the responsibility, we bear it together. ”
Guo Bingxun knew that Li Yanping was not in a hurry, and he would not make this decision. Although taking sleeping pills to treat insomnia is already a common thing in European and American countries, as well as some developed big cities in Shanghai and Beiping. However, in their own troops, where the level of knowledge is generally not high, the use of this kind of medicine or the use of medicine behind the user's back can easily bring great misunderstanding to people. In particular, Li Yanping, who is the chief political officer of the army, is even more likely to be criticized after the fact that he made such a decision.
The two of them were talking here about how to let Yang Zhen rest, but they didn't want Yang Zhen to suddenly come out of the office. After stretching his waist, Yang Zhen saw Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun standing at his door and didn't know what they were discussing, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What are you two doing standing here?" How can I not come in and say something. It's just in time that you're here, and I just have something to discuss with you. ”
Guo Bingxun, who was arrested first, touched his nose, glanced at Li Yanping, and said after entering Yang Zhen's office with some embarrassment: "Commander, we are studying how to let you rest for a while." You haven't slept for three days since you withdrew to Heungsan, haven't you? I heard Ma Chunsheng say that when you were in Jiamusi, you only slept two or three hours a day. Can your body stand it if you go on like this? ”
Looking at Yang Zhen's unusually pale face due to insomnia, Guo Bingxun hesitated for a moment but decided to say in a tough tone: "Commander, I know your feelings, and the political commissar and I also understand. But you're always immersed in pain and can't extricate yourself, how can you do this?"
"As the top military decision-maker of a large army, are you so bad at yourself in the current situation, are you responsible for the troops? Are you responsible for yourself? Do you think you can really make Zhang Ting look at her under Jiuquan like this? It's still a little better for yourself. You're deluding yourself. ”
