Lin Junxiong picked it up and looked at it, it was a summary report on the gains and losses of the combat command of the Left Wing Army in the Battle of Songhu, Lin Junxiong took a look, Xue Yue mentioned in the report that the Japanese army was well-equipped, the morale of the national army was insufficient, there was no momentum to fight to the death, and the command was not well considered, and so on, which led to the reasons for the defeat on the battlefield. In the summary, he also praised Chiang Kai-shek's cleverness, deliberately attacked the Japanese army in Shanghai, changed the direction of the Japanese army's attack on China from north to south to east to west, and said that this was a comprehensive strategy for the entire War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the future.

Lin Junxiong thought for a while, thought for a while and said: "If the summary of the eldest brother is to be submitted to the Ministry of National Defense and read by the chairman, it should be enough." ”

"Then if it is my own summary, in order to avoid defeat on the battlefield in the future, between you and my brothers, there is something to say, don't look like you want to say something."

Lin Junxiong knew that his words might surprise Xue Yue, and even get angry, so he calmed down, Lin Junxiong said resolutely: "Then with all due respect, big brother, I think one of the failures of the Battle of Songhu is that there is a mistake in thinking. It should be said that the chairman's thinking on the battle of Songhu is not very clear. According to the guiding ideology of the chairman of the committee in the Battle of Songhu, he aimed to annihilate a part of the Japanese army in Shanghai in order to achieve international attention, and finally to resolve the war issue through negotiations. First of all, this was a strategic mistake, which did not base itself on the protracted and comprehensive nature of the war, and pinned its hopes on the intervention of the international community, which led to the subsequent defeat. Originally, he wanted to annihilate part of the Japanese army and drive the Japanese army out of Shanghai, but later saw that the goal could not be achieved, so he instead held on to Shanghai as much as possible to attract the attention of the international community, and in the end, the front almost collapsed, and still held the illusion of international intervention and refused to retreat, and finally the Japanese army landed in Hangzhou Bay and copied the back road, resulting in the collapse of the entire front. ”

Lin Junxiong stopped, comparing Xue Yue to Chiang Kai-shek's loyal supporter, and his own mistakes inevitably aroused Xue Yue's disgust, seeing that Xue Yue was satisfied with what he was talking about, but thinking about something, Lin Junxiong continued: "The second failure is to tactically ignore the gap between China and Japan in terms of heavy firepower. The only thing that can be counted on is that the United States and Britain have a concession in Shanghai, and Japan does not dare to use heavy artillery bombardment when attacking the places adjacent to the concession, and there is no danger to defend the places outside the concessions. Under such circumstances, throwing a large number of elite troops into the Shanghai battlefield, risking the heavy artillery and aircraft of the Japanese warships, was simply sending them to death. Fill in one division after another, although tragic and magnificent, it has little effect. Those are all elite German mechanics, if they hadn't died on the battlefield of Songhu, the future war of resistance would have made a great difference. ”

Xue Yue spoke with satisfaction, and kept thinking, and after a long time, Xue Yue sighed and said: "Junxiong, you are right, in the Battle of Songhu, the national army invested more than 750,000 elite troops, but the casualties were an astonishing more than 300,000, and the elite German armor division suffered casualties. We have only seen the so-called strategic success of the chairman, but we have ignored the war itself, and the chairman is still expecting the intervention of the European and American powers. Although the dream of the Japanese army to occupy China for three months was shattered, the casualties were shocking. ”

"Big brother, our army has suffered so many casualties, I personally think there is another reason, the level of our army's defensive warfare is not even as good as the trenches, the defensive positions are mostly arranged in a linear manner, lack of depth, and there is no strong reserve for counterattack or encirclement and annihilation of the breakthrough enemy. Therefore, on the battlefield, the Japanese army often did not hesitate to suffer casualties, and after breaking through a little, the battle line collapsed as a whole. ”

"So what should we do when this happens?"

Eight words, because of the time, because of the place, because of the situation, because of the enemy. In such a defensive battle, the officer commanding the operation should organize a death squad equipped with automatic fire and grenades from light machine guns or automatic rifles to take advantage of the night and other opportunities with poor visibility to counterattack in the war, so as to not only drive the Japanese troops out of the battle line, but also inflict greater casualties on the Japanese troops. ”

"I also have an immature TUO strategic defensive and offensive tactics, that is, in a defensive battle, a mobile force is set up after the linear deployment, and the defensive line is arranged in a T shape, if the Japanese army puts more troops into the attack, the linear defense system will be changed immediately, and the defenders in front will retreat in depth on both sides, and the mobile team behind will retreat at the same time, leading the Japanese army into depth. At this time, the defense of our army has become U-shaped, if the terrain advantage is greater, our army can choose three directions to attack the deep Japanese army, annihilate the deep Japanese army, or force it to withdraw from our defense line after giving it a heavy blow, and then our army's defense will return to a T-shaped arrangement; If the terrain advantage is not large, or the Japanese reinforcements are far apart, and our troops are sufficient, the U-shaped defense can be turned into an O-shaped encirclement and attack formation, and the advancing Japanese army will be surrounded and annihilated. ”

"Wonderful, your TUO strategic defense and offensive tactics are really wonderful, and it really fits the words you said about time, place, situation, and enemy, and has strong operability. It's just that in terms of grasping these eight words, you must be an experienced officer who can judge the situation and size up the situation, and ordinary mediocre people will be self-defeating if they don't do it well, but they will cause heavy damage to the troops because of the bad timing of the capture. ”

"Yes, big brother, the commander who commands the strategic defense and offensive of the TUO must be calm, and the ability to grasp the opportunity must be strong, the ability of the troops to reconnoiter and analyze the situation must also be strong, and the physical strength and mobility of the troops participating in the battle must be strong."

"Hey, over the years, the Whampoa Military Academy has graduated batch after batch of officers, but in the experience of the army, many of them have become mediocre, and the national army does not lack brave soldiers, but lacks good commanders."

"Big brother, I shouldn't say anything, the chairman of the committee is too fond of the Huangpu department, and the chairman of the committee in the army uses people as relatives, which has caused many officers to lack competitiveness and lack imagination in combat, and the accumulation of problems over the years has become a stubborn disease, and no one in the top level can have the courage and courage to reform the old and make new ones."

"Are there big brothers among these high-level people you said, although the leader is wrong, but he is a leader after all, and the duty of a soldier is to obey orders, although he has something to think about, he may not be able to do everything he wants."

"Naturally, there is no eldest brother among these people I am talking about, and it can be seen from the eldest brother's delegation of authority to me the appointment of officers of the 45th Brigade, the eldest brother hopes that I will make the best use of my people and appoint a group of officers with no background but ability, and I also know that the eldest brother cares for Junxiong, and I hope that I can build the 45th Brigade as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming war."

"You don't have to comfort me, to be honest, I really don't have the courage and courage to renovate, I can't afford such an earth-shattering thing. Okay, today you have taught the eldest brother a good lesson, the eldest brother has benefited a lot, you are tired all the way, go back to see your 45th brigade first, and rest for two days by the way, you have just recovered from the injury, but you have to pay attention to your body. ”

"Okay big brother, then I'll go back first, and you can find me directly if you have anything."

"Well, go back, I'll let the driver drop you off, there's still a long way to go back."

Lin Junxiong went back, first went to the military headquarters to report to Wang Dongchen, then went to report to Wang Zhibin to thank him, and finally returned to Liyang Town, where the 45th Brigade was stationed.

Wei Xin had already brought a few officers to wait at the entrance of the brigade department, and he was very excited to see Lin Junxiong, Lin Junxiong greeted everyone one by one, Lin Junxiong left Wei Xin, Fang Yun, and Shen Yushan, and was about to have a short meeting, Gao Shang rushed in from outside, and gave Lin Junxiong a bear hug as soon as they met, Lin Junxiong said with a calm face: "Company Commander Gao, you are not in the military headquarters to protect Commander Wang, why are you coming here?" ”

"Ah, you don't know, I was transferred to the 45th Brigade, and the guard company was also brought over by me, and I have been here for a month. Strange to say, I told the commander that I wanted to come to the 45th Brigade, and I thought he would not agree, but he readily agreed, and asked me to bring the guard company over, saying that you are familiar with the guard company. ”

Lin Junxiong thought that Wang Dongchen had given himself such a big gift in Xue Yue's face, and he was very grateful in his heart.

Wei Xin gave Lin Junxiong a brief introduction to the situation of the 45th Brigade, the original 88th Regiment of the 45th Brigade was wiped out in Zhuyuanling, and now the 88th Regiment is independent from the 45th Brigade, and the 89th Regiment is transferred to the 45th Brigade, in addition, the 45th Brigade also has a 45th Regiment, and the regiment commander and deputy commander have been transferred to the division headquarters by Wang Zhibin; The 45 Brigade also has a 332 Reserve Regiment, and the officers are also vacant.

Lin Junxiong frowned after hearing this, it is a good thing that the officers of the 45th Brigade are appointed by themselves, but it is also a difficult thing, there are so many vacancies, Lin Junxiong can't find so many suitable candidates for a while.

As if seeing Lin Junxiong's thoughts, Wei Xin smiled and took out a list and said: "Brigade commander, during the time you didn't come back, I conducted a thorough investigation of some of the company, platoon and battalion officers of the unit, and temporarily replaced those who were not worthy of the name with some of the remaining people of the original 89th Regiment Zhuyuanling, and retained some usable ones. ”

Lin Junxiong looked at the people of the original 89th Regiment enabled by Wei Xin, all of them were capable people, he looked at it a little and nodded, after reading it, he smiled and said to Wei Xin: "Chief of Staff Wei really eliminated my troubles, thank you, old Wei." ”

"This is all what I should do, but I don't dare to decide on the candidates for each regiment and regiment, and you need to determine this."

Lin Junxiong looked at Gao Shang, looked back and forth on him for a long time, and looked a little creepy at Gao Shang, Lin Junxiong said: "Gao Shang, I want to arrange a bad errand for you, I don't know if you are willing to go?" ”

"As long as you don't drive me away, you are willing to do any errand."

"Okay, you go to the 332 Reserve Regiment to be the commander, and the guard company also brings it over, that regiment is only half of the configuration of the regular regiment."

"Yes, very willingly, I am confident that I will soon bring it into a regular regiment."

"Okay, then you go and arrange your 332 regiment first, you go to replace the officers in the regiment first, and bring them over to me for a meeting tomorrow."

After Gao Shang left, Lin Junxiong said to Fang Yun and Shen Yushan: "Fang Yun, you go to the 45th Regiment to be the regiment commander, and Yushan is the deputy regiment commander and the chief of staff of the regiment headquarters. ”

"Lao Wei, how did Tang Jijun bring the 89th Regiment?"

"This Tang Jijun is really a talent, and the current 89th Regiment is under the leadership of some veterans in Zhuyuanling, which is quite the momentum of our original 89th Regiment."

"Oh, then let Tang Jijun be the commander of the 89th regiment, and they all go back to deal with their own affairs, tomorrow afternoon, the officers above the battalion level of each regiment will have a meeting at the brigade headquarters, and everyone will gather in the evening, drink two glasses, and contact the feelings, so give me a pick-up."

"That is the reception for tonight"

"Not tonight, save it for tomorrow."
