......
In August, Fengtian convened a meeting, and senior officials of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army gathered in Datong to study and formulate a new strategic layout for the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.
Feng Yong, deputy to Beidi, and Huang Xiansheng, minister of public security, attended the meeting, and Zhao Zhenfan, director of the General Staff Department of the three general departments of the army, Zhang Shusen, director of the general administration and management, and Chang Jingwu, director of the general logistics department, were all present at the meeting.
Also present at the meeting were Qu Guangshui, political commissar of the army, and Cao Minghui, political commissar of the Air Force.
The commanders of the main forces included He Lizhong, commander of the 1st Division, Wang Tiehan, commander of the 2nd Division, Xu Liqiang, commander of the 3rd Division, Song Weizhao, commander of the 4th Division, Chang Jingwu, commander of the 5th Division, Zhang Zuozhou, commander of the 6th Division, Feng Zhanhai, commander of the 7th Division, Li Du, commander of the 8th Division, Xing Zhanqing, commander of the 9th Division, Su Bingwen, commander of the 1st Armored Brigade, Xin Jingbo, commander of the 2nd Armored Brigade, Yuan Chonggu, commander of the Agricultural Reclamation and Garrison Army, and Gong Xiaoxiang, commander of the Artillery Division.
Air Force Commander Chen Haihua, Commander of the First Regiment Gao Zhihang, Commander of the Second Regiment Zhang Shigang, and Commander of the Third Regiment Geng Jinxiao also attended the meeting.
Such a large meeting has not been held for a long time, and the heads of the various units have speculated that the commander-in-chief will make a big move.
Since the RB army was continuously hit hard by the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers, it has become quite quiet, and it has never dared to provoke the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers, so the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers defense area is very quiet, and nothing major has happened.
So, what's the big move?
Before the meeting began, there was a lot of speculation.
Li Du said: "Does the commander-in-chief want to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army, go south to Liaoxi, and break the neck of the Japanese army?" ”
This speculation is not surprising, the occupation of Rehe by the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers condescendingly poses a great threat to the narrow strip occupied by the Japanese army. As long as the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers are willing, they can send troops south at any time to cut off the passage between the Northeast and HB.
However, this is only speculation, whether there is such a big move, it depends on the meaning of the commander-in-chief.
He Lizhong, commander of the First Division, immediately refuted: "This is impossible, the Northern Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army went south and dispatched to attack the Kwantung Army, which is not at all in line with the strategic guidelines of the commander-in-chief." If our army really wants to cut off the neck of the Japanese army, do you think the Kwantung Army will fight with us? At that time, did our army resolutely resist or withdraw to Rehe? How long do you think our army can fight to the death with the Kwantung Army? ”
After He Zhongli's rebuttal, everyone was also a little sober.
The main combat force of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army is only nine army divisions, which seems to be a lot, but if it is compared with the strength of RB alone, it is far behind.
The reason why the RB people did not dare to invade the north again was that they could not touch the details of the anti-Japanese volunteers in the north, and they were afraid of the unpredictable tactics of the heavens. The Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers really want to fight the Japanese army face to face, and it is too late for the RB people to be happy.
The two armies relied on strength to meet each other, and the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers faced the Kwantung Army with their own shortcomings, which was really stupid.
Besides, the terrain of western Liaoning is long and narrow, and the south is bordered by the sea, and the warships and guns of the Japanese and Japanese navies pose a great threat to the land.
As the leader of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, Feng Tianzi would not fight in a suicidal manner.
Moreover, there are various signs that Fengtian hopes to have a buffer period and take this opportunity to develop and strengthen the strength of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.
In the middle of this large conference room is a long conference table, where officers of all levels sit in order of rank, and at the end is the position of the head of Fengtian.
Several ministers walked into the conference room, and the division commanders asked them about the content of the meeting.
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhenfan smiled bitterly: "Hehe, I'm the same as you, I came after receiving the notice." The commander-in-chief went out to inspect factories and enterprises some time ago, and on the way back, he suddenly asked someone to call a meeting, and I didn't even see him in person, so how would I know what kind of meeting was held? ”
"What? The Commander-in-Chief is still on his way. ”
Zhao Zhenfan pointed outside and said, "Commander-in-Chief Kurama is tired, there are many things to worry about, unlike us who only care about the things under our own hands. When I came in, I had already seen the commander-in-chief's car enter the courtyard through the window, and it would probably come in right away. Everyone, be patient, and the commander will come in a moment. ”
After Zhao Zhenfan's remarks, everyone understood that there could be no inside information, and the commander-in-chief had convened a meeting on an ad hoc basis.
Since there is no news to inquire about, everyone is safe.
A few minutes later, Feng Tian walked in from outside the door and stood in front of everyone.
The high-ranking officials who were originally sitting at both sides of the table immediately got up and shouted in unison: "Good commander-in-chief! ”
Feng Tian was full of style, took off his white gloves and waved his hand to everyone, motioning for everyone to sit down.
All of a sudden, the officers sat down in unison.
I don't know when it started, as long as it was on a regular occasion, as soon as the commander-in-chief Feng Tian came in, everyone would definitely greet him.
Feng Tian never asked everyone to do this, and no one made specific arrangements, it was completely a spontaneous action, and it became a common practice in the future.
This kind of scene reminded Feng Tian of Chairman Jiang's style, and he enjoyed this feeling happily, so he didn't stop it.
It was really hard for Feng Tian to rush back all the way, and when he saw that the water had been placed on the table, he took it up and poured it first.
The people present saw Feng Tian's way of drinking and knew that he was really thirsty.
It is not easy to think about the commander-in-chief, in addition to leading the troops to fight, but also to think of the development of the economy and the development plan of the anti-Japanese volunteer army government in the north.
It's like we only care about military training and fighting, and we don't have to worry about anything else.
Feng Tian drank the water, stabilized his mind, raised his head and began to speak.
"Everyone, I'm sorry to gather everyone in such a hurry. There are some things that are ripe for early planning and can be arranged as early as possible, so today's meeting, although rushed, is very important. ”
Seeing that someone below wanted to speak, Feng Tian waved his hand to interrupt him, and continued: "This time, I went down and walked around, and I generally know the development of our military industry, and some plans should be launched as soon as possible."
It's August now, and the HLJ side of the battle will be in September, and the weather is too bad in October, and some unpredictable weather conditions are prone to accidents, so I think the military operation will be stopped at the end of September at the latest. ”
Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan was brushing and recording on the side, and he stopped writing when he just arrived here, this decision was very sudden, and Feng Tian had not said it before.
Speaking of this, Feng Tian just had a question to ask Zhao Zhenfan, and said, "Chief of Staff, the garrison is already full, right?" ”
Zhao Zhenfan hurriedly replied: "Yes, commander-in-chief, now that the twelve garrison brigades are all full and the regular training has been completed, what is the commander-in-chief's plan for the next step?" ”
Feng Tian nodded and said: "This time, the recruits of the main battle force have probably participated in the battle training, the purpose of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army has been achieved, and the next step is that the main battle force will all be contracted, and the defense of the front line of the battlefield will be handed over to the garrison force."
It's time for the garrison to take on the tasks they should undertake, Commander Yuan, you have a lot of courage, and the safety of our anti-Japanese volunteers in the north will depend on you in the future.
As for the arrangement of the garrison troops, it was tentatively decided that a garrison brigade would be placed at Yumen Pass in the far west, one brigade would be garrisoned by the GS, one brigade would be garrisoned by the extension, and the other brigades would be arranged in the central and eastern regions.
Rehe was the main garrison direction, and at least three garrison brigades were arranged.
A garrison brigade was set up near the HLJ battlefield, and a garrison brigade was set up near Mukden to be on alert. That's eight brigades, with the remaining four remaining for mobility and rotation. ”
The garrison commander Yuan Chonggu stood up and said: "The garrison army guarantees to complete the tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief, resolutely prepare for defense, smash all invading enemies, and defend the defense area of the anti-Japanese volunteers in the north from infringement. ”
Feng Tian waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's good to have Commander Yuan's guarantee, after two years of training, the garrison should also play its role." As the name suggests, the garrison army is full-time garrison, while the main battle division of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army is full-time to attack, each with its own division of labor and its own duties. ”
Feng Tian has made a final decision, and the main battle troops must be withdrawn.
According to this new arrangement, if the garrison brigade reaches the front line, won't the main combat unit have no combat mission?
At this moment, the masters and elders are not calm, and there are many discussions.
Wang Tiehan first asked: "Commander-in-chief, what will the main battle troops do after they are withdrawn, won't they have no combat mission?" ”
Feng Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, wait a while." ”
appeased Wang Tiehan, and asked Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan: "Is the establishment of the armored brigade already overstaffed?" ”
Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan said with a smile: "It's not just that it's overstaffed, a brigade almost exceeds the establishment of a division, which greatly exceeds the original planned establishment. At the beginning, you explained that the priority was to expand the armored forces, and the armored forces were particularly attractive, and there were a lot of soldiers who applied to join the armored forces, so the expansion was relatively fast. In the past two years, the training of the armored forces has been extremely intense, and the results have been quite good. ”
"That's good, I'm not afraid of being fast, I'm afraid of being slow, I'm just waiting for the armored forces to take shape now."
At this time, hearing the commander-in-chief ask about the situation of the armored brigade, Su Bingwen and Xin Jingbo, the two brigade commanders, thought that they were going to assign them a task, so they stood up together: "The armored brigade is ready for battle and will obey the call of the commander-in-chief at any time. ”
Obviously, everyone was wrong, thinking that they were going to assign tasks to the armored forces, just look at the envious eyes of other division commanders.
Feng Tian waved his hand for the two brigade commanders to sit down, and then said: "That's good, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Ladies and gentlemen, the main combat units should be comprehensively reorganized and complete the transformation of traditional troops into modern troops as soon as possible. ”
How to transform into a modern army?
Everyone was confused, what kind of army is called a modern army, and there is no concept in their minds at all.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand, listen to the commander-in-chief.
There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was waiting for Feng Tian to continue.
Feng Tian picked up the cup and drank some water to moisten his throat, put down the cup and said: "Let me first introduce the general situation, there are many specific details, and the staff also needs to repeatedly scrutinize and make a detailed plan. ”
Zhao Zhenfan nodded, knowing that this was an errand from the General Staff, and waited for the record with a pen in hand.
"In this reorganization, the Fourth Division of the main combat unit will be transferred out to form a guard division, whose task is to protect the security of the core area. Of course, in order to ensure that the army's combat effectiveness does not decline, it is also necessary to take turns to send brigades and regimental units to fight on the front line.
The establishment of the fourth division was replaced by the commander of the armored brigade Su Bingwen, and the armored brigade under his command was broken down and configured into four divisions to form a heavy division.
The armored brigade of Xin Jingbo was retained, and it was reorganized into the only assault armored division of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. ”
It is understandable that Song Weizhao was transferred to form a guard division, but the reloading division is a little incomprehensible.
However, it's quite exciting to hear the name.
"Commander-in-chief, the name of the heavy division is very majestic, is it to configure the tank into the battle sequence of our division?" Wang Tiehan is an anxious person, and he must be the first to come out.
Feng Tian scolded with a smile: "You, Wang Tiehan, are always unable to hold your breath, I don't know if you won't listen to me." How can it be as simple as you say, the configuration of the tank is the reloader? In that case, the original 7th Brigade also had tanks, so why not call it a heavy brigade? ”
But isn't it, casually configuring a tank is called a heavy army, so why bother with it? There is no need to reorganize anymore.
Wang Tiehan smiled wryly, a little embarrassed.
Feng Tian continued: "The wars we have seen are all with firearms as the main attack weapon, in this kind of war, the soldiers of the army in a small battle have died in hundreds of thousands, and the soldiers of the army in a large battle have suffered tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
The cost of such a war is too great and too backward.
I don't want too many deaths in my army, so the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers must change. Only when our army becomes strong will it not be afraid of the enemy, will it not be afraid, and will only rely on some intrigues and tricks to keep its territory.
That's why I first inspect factories and enterprises, and first of all, I have to be aware of them.
Victory in a war depends not only on the number of troops, but also on the quality of the army, on our economic and industrial capabilities.
At the moment, industrial projects already have these foundations, and it's time to improve the equipment of the army.
The war for a period of time to come will be a war of steel and speed, and our army must have the ability to destroy the ancient and decay and crush the enemy army in one fell swoop. ”
Although these high-ranking officials had shares in the factory, they never cared about the development of the factory, let alone the current level of industry.
Of course, to fight a war, we must rely on arsenals to manufacture weapons, and the general truth is understood, but no one has connected the two. Because, all the people are still at the original industrial level, and they don't understand how big Feng Tian is doing.
However, listening to the meaning of the commander-in-chief's words, the industrial level of the Northland is already very high.
"The first to fourth divisions were reorganized from the original infantry divisions into heavy divisions, and their establishment guaranteed to have an armored brigade and two to three mechanized infantry brigades. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the general outline of the reloader. ”
Wow, it's all mechanized, it's so fierce! (To be continued.) )
