September 2, 1942, Jinzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiaolu led Xue Rui to fly back to Jinzhou from Yan'an and immediately came to the headquarters.
At this stage when Xiaolu left, with Yang Jingyu and other people from the Northeast Bureau, the transportation of materials has been intensified, the movement of troops has been planned for a long time, and Yan'an has been consulted, and now, the troops have been deployed in place.
Participating in the battle were Wan Quance Zhao Ziqiang's Yilan Column, Wang Wenbin Lei Jingmin's Jinzhou Column, Zhang Binglin's Beifeng Column who had just returned from Dalian, Cai Jimin's Panshan Column who returned from Shenyang, plus most of Yang Jingyu's First Road Army, Li Sen's most of the railway troops, Xie Chengrui's tank brigade directly under Qian Jinxin, and Liu Yalou's Air Force I, Daniel Zhang's navy's three warships and five gunboats, and several units had land, sea and air forces, and coordination was very complicated.
These troops, supplemented by captured soldiers and local troops, totaled more than 100,000 people, plus militia and civilian workers, totaling nearly 300,000 people.
The equipment was also replenished, because the military factory in Shenyang and the ship repair yard in Dalian were already in operation, and some equipment was replenished from Dalian, Anshan, Shenyang and other places.
Because it was a multi-arm coordinated operation, it had never been tried before, Yang Jingyu insisted that Xiaolu come back as the commander-in-chief, and Yan'an agreed to his request and put Xiaolu back.
Before Xiao Lu left, he issued an order, asking Wang Santai to move all the special operations forces near the battlefield and even in the central part of the northeast and move all to the south.
Wang Santai's troops played a great role in the liberation operations in Shenyang and Changchun in the previous stage, and at present, he is training his troops, and when he receives an order, he immediately transfers all the special operations units to the south, and some units to the vicinity of Beiping.
After the plane was on the path, an order was issued: Wang Santai was asked to formulate a comprehensive plan to deploy special combat teams in Beiping, Tangshan, and other important places behind enemy lines. One of the tasks undertaken by the special combat team, in consultation with the Air Force, is to guide the bombing destinations for the Air Force.
As soon as he entered the headquarters compound, he said: "Notify the commander to hold a meeting to study the specific details of the battle plan." ”
The people attending the meeting were actually there, Xiao Lu just nodded to everyone and said, "The battle plan has been approved by the Military Commission, and the next step is to implement it." Could you please tell me about the new developments that I don't know about, which one will speak first? ”
Bai Enming said: "I'll talk about the information first, so that the leaders can know themselves and their opponents." At present, the underground party of the North China Bureau, the Rehe Column, and other units have provided us with a large amount of information, and the Confidential Bureau has studied a large amount of captured intelligence, because of the large amount of information, it has focused on studying and summarizing the intelligence of the Japanese army in North China. As for the details, I have already written a report and handed it over to the Chief of Staff. ”
Next, he introduced some of the latest developments of the Japanese army in North China.
Lan Yundong, chief of staff, said: "At present, our army is based in Xingcheng and is facing off with the Japanese army on both sides of a small river ditch called Liugu River in the north of Suizhong. The Japanese army was worried that the puppet army would mutiny, so they placed the puppet army in the city and communication line south of Qinhuangdao to undertake the task of transporting materials. 80,000 Japanese troops were deployed frontally. The Japanese army was now very cautious, not as they usually did in Shanxi and Hebei, but built fortifications and fought regular battles and positional battles with us. This is a map of the Japanese battlefield that our aircraft reconnoitred. ”
Next, the number and distribution of the Japanese army were introduced.
Finally, Yang Jingyu said: "This battle is definitely a three-dimensional operation on land, sea and air, and it involves some very complicated issues, so we ask you to hurry back and take command." ”
Xiaolu said: "I am not an old warlord, I don't hide the truth from everyone, our food is short, our supplies are limited, we can't delay, we must fight quickly." However, looking at the enemy's military disposition, they are very afraid of our weapons, and the distribution of troops is very open, which makes it difficult for us to kill and injure the enemy. ”
Lan Yundong said: "Our idea is to kill and wound the Japanese army, seize its food supplies, and replenish our troops. ”
Yang Jingyu said: "Last time we conquered Shenyang, Dalian, and Changchun, although we captured a lot of Japanese military rations, we also encountered difficulties in the supply of food for urban residents. In the past, the Japanese army used rationing for city dwellers, and we couldn't do that. ”
Xiaolu said: "I understand, there is a shortage of food and supplies. In other words, winning this battle will solve a series of problems. On the contrary, if we lose, or if we delay for a long time, then our ** annoyance will come. Let's study the coordination of various services and arms, the army and mechanized forces, the army and the navy, the navy and the air force, the army and artillery, how do you cooperate? Let's take a good look at it. Today, we talk about technical issues and leave the decision behind for the time being. ”
Everyone began to discuss, and after discussing for a while, everyone began to quarrel, and after arguing for a long time, Xiaolu inspired everyone with the basic concepts, techniques, and advanced concepts of three-dimensional warfare in later generations. After the enlightenment, everyone continued to quarrel.
After arguing for five hours, Xiaolu asked the canteen to make noodles for everyone, and after eating, everyone gradually formed some consensus, Lan Yundong convened all the staff officers to record the meeting, and gradually, the problem of a huge battle plan gradually became clear.
Everyone seemed to have arrived in a new world, very excited, and in the middle of the night, everyone did not stop, Liu Yalou's staff business was extremely proficient, and together with Lan Yundong, according to everyone's discussion, quickly formulated and improved the combat plan. Until the sun rises, everyone already knows how this battle is fought.
Xiaolu said: "I see that everyone's understanding of the new combat plan is very clear, and we will immediately report the specific combat plan to Yan'an." Everyone should go back now, work hard, teach all commanders the new plan and the new combat method, and demand that by tomorrow morning, the regimental commanders of all units must meet the current level of understanding. If you have difficulties, if you have a new situation, you can come to me, or the various members of the command. Meeting. ”
The trail is still an old habit, resting in the war room. Just about to sleep for a while, Wang Santai came back and said, "Commander-in-chief, I have an idea. ”
Xiaolu said: "Say." What can not be said at a meeting, so secret? ”
Wang Santai said: "I want to send a group of people into Beiping and Tangshan to attack Beiping again." ”
Xiaolu said: "Isn't there a plan for your people to guide the air force near the airfield in North China?" ”
Wang Santai said: "I don't think it's enough. I tasted the sweetness of Shenyang and Changchun last time, and I want to do it again. ”
Xiaolu said: "Have your people already entered the city?" ”
Wang Santai said: "I can't hide anything from you, they have already entered the city." ”
Xiaolu said: "I think it's okay, we have to coordinate with the whole plan and grasp the timing." To be my finger. I can make a move whenever I want. I don't care about anything else. Who is leading the team in Beiping? ”
Wang Santai said: "There are two candidates, one is Wang Santai and the other is Li Shun. ”
Xiaolu said: "Don't go, stay in the center to command your special combat team." Li Shun goes. He did a good job in Changchun last time and was willing to use his brains. Where is Li Shun's team? ”
Wang Santai said: "He is in Shunyi." My scouts in Peking can lead the way. ”
At this time, the intelligence came, although the deployment of the front-line troops of the Japanese army seemed to be ready, but the supplies were still being transported. From this it can be seen that the Japanese army will not attack for a week.
The offensive can begin.
