Chapter Twenty-Three: The Prospect of Land, Sea and Air!
The two-day military-political meeting ended in a low-key but excited atmosphere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Mr. Zhu, who was invited to attend the meeting, also expressed his satisfaction with the battle plan formulated by He Zhengdao and felt that the plan was very pragmatic.
For a long time, in the eyes of many people, He Zhengdao is too young, and he has made so many achievements. As he took over the task of attacking the Northeast, many people were worried that He Zhengdao was too radical and would take the battle plan too seriously.
As a result, Mr. Zhu was very satisfied that He Zhengdao had fully taken into account many unpredictable situations when formulating this offensive plan. All in all, this plan was the most unfortunate failure, but it would not break the bones of the Eighth Route Army.
With such a premise, it is enough to show that He Zhengdao considered all aspects very carefully when formulating the battle plan. What's more, this is the worst case scenario of the war situation, and how bad it can be to get there?
Even though the battle plan of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army to attack the Northeast failed to achieve the expected goal. Then in the process of fighting, the Japanese troops who fought with them were afraid that they would not be better off getting there.
For this Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army built on the basis of an independent column, Mr. Zhu is still very relieved. If even He Zhengdao can't defend the Kwantung Army, then the other main forces of the Eighth Route Army will be very difficult to do.
This also shows that the Eighth Route Army still needs to strengthen training and increase armaments. Even if it fails, this experience must be precious to the Eighth Route Army. He Zhengdao's courage to be the first is also worthy of Mr. Zhu's affirmation!
At the end of the meeting, He Zhengdao, as the commander and commander-in-chief of the meeting, said with a very serious expression: "You are all senior military and political cadres of our army, and I believe that I don't need to emphasize too much on the discipline of secrecy conditions.
Once the offensive is launched, I hope you can all show your best to clean up the little devils and boost our morale.
If you receive an order from the commander of the army to shrink, you must also have the ability to nail the area that you hold onto, and not let the little devil cross the thunder pond for a single step. When the departments carry out their combat orders, they must be clean and neat, understand? ”
'Yes, Commander! ’
As He Zhengdao's time at the helm of the First Army grew, many of his old subordinates could feel that He Zhengdao's aura was increasing. As long as He Zhengdao gets serious, they don't dare to laugh and play like before.
The so-called aura of high-ranking officials may be formed in this way!
But for He Zhengdao, he knows very well the truth that mercy is not in charge of the army. When it is time to be warm to your subordinates, you can be warm, but when it comes to combat missions, there is no room for bargaining.
Mr. Zhu, who had been sitting next to him, was also very happy to see that He Zhengdao still had a very high prestige in the army as before. In his view, this means that the cause of the party and the army has a young heir.
Maybe it's too early to talk about the heir, but Mr. Zhu knows in his heart that not only does he have this kind of thought, but even the Taizu who is far away in Yan'an is not cultivating He Zhengdao, hoping that he will carry a heavier burden in the future?
Sometimes, youth is indeed an intangible capital. When He Zhengdao reached the age of standing, Mr. Zhu believed that He Zhengdao's prestige in the Eighth Route Army and the party would not be much smaller than that of these old people.
At present, many of the military and political officials of the independent column headed by He Zhengdao have successively taken up new leadership posts. It can be said that the dispersion of these troops will also bring He Zhengdao a higher prestige in the army.
After the meeting, He Zhengdao, Chen Yun and other high-ranking military officials also bid farewell to the commanders of the various departments who hurried to the meeting. Even if the time of this gathering is short, everyone who came to the meeting felt that they had gained a lot.
Even in the past two days, Mr. Zhu has chatted with them to discuss some things about army building. It is also the honor and pride of these commanders to be able to talk to the commander-in-chief face-to-face about this.
Some of the other high-ranking commanders of the military department who met for the first time naturally had a deeper impression of the three members of the leading group of the new military department through this meeting. Similarly, three members of the party committee of the new military department also got to know them.
In the future, when it comes to the expansion or promotion of the troops, I believe that Chen Yun and others can also make better arrangements. If Chen Yun didn't even know what the people they wanted to promote looked like, how could they rest assured that they would be promoted to higher positions?
The return of military and political leaders from all over the country one after another means that the overture to the march into the northeast has begun to be staged. It's just that the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass must go first. Taking advantage of this time, He Zhengdao also needs to pay attention to logistics support.
Mr. Zhu, who was invited, did not leave immediately, but on the contrary, under the leadership of He Zhengdao, he inspected the arsenal that was still managed by He Zhengdao. For the development speed of the arsenal, Mr. Zhu is also very happy.
Looking at the three test planes parked in the aircraft factory, Mr. Zhu also said with anticipation: "Xiao He, how is the performance of this aircraft?" How long will it take for our Air Force to form combat effectiveness? ”
Faced with such an inquiry, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "Commander-in-chief, we started from scratch!" I believe you can see that these three testing machines have slight modifications and differences, which need to be tested a little bit.
But I can guarantee that in the future, this fighter will be truly verified, and I believe that the performance of this fighter should be able to reach the current international leading level. The biggest problem that restricts us now is that the engines of the aircraft are all imported.
This also means that once we want to mass-produce the aircraft, the engines will also need to be purchased from Big Brother. You should always know that the Soviet Union sold us this thing very expensive, and we couldn't afford to pay that much money at all.
Fortunately, the current engine R&D center has been testing engines using new alloy materials. I believe that if they are given some more time, they should be able to produce a high-performance aircraft engine that is truly our own research and development.
Once we have thoroughly understood the relevant technology of engines, our aircraft manufacturing industry and the production of tank and armor factories will make great progress. It's just that if you want to see that day, the commander-in-chief will have to wait for a while! ”
smiled and said something about the progress of engine research and development, Mr. Zhu also looked very happy after listening to it. As a veteran, Mr. Zhu is also aware of the future war, and sometimes it is no longer the heroism of the soldiers but the advanced equipment.
It can be said that at present, the Chinese troops in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression always suffered defeats, and it was more because the weapons equipped by the Chinese troops were not as good as the little devils. Without sea and air supremacy, how can the little devils be truly and completely driven out of the country?
Now the only thing that the Eighth Route Army can compete with the little devils is undoubtedly the army. As for the navy and the air force, most of them are blank at this stage. Although there are some air forces, they are limited by the performance of aircraft and simply do not dare to take to the skies for combat.
Listening to He Zhengdao's narration, Mr. Zhu also said with emotion: "Yes! Our foundation is too thin, and we have to start everything from scratch. However, we have done a good job of being in the situation we are in now.
Speaking of which, we are more responsible for the affairs of the arsenal. I have to say that you are very talented in this area, and the development of the arsenal to the way it is now is indeed beyond many people's expectations.
The most rare thing is that there are still not many people in our arsenal who know about it. Some time ago, Comrade Bocheng of the 129th Division also sent a telegram to the headquarters that the arsenal they opened in Huangyadong can now be imitated in Hanyang.
Although this kind of weapon is certainly not suitable for large-scale troops in the future. But being able to build guns is also a rare progress. With our own weapons, it will be much easier for us to expand our forces in the future. ”
Regarding the Huangyadong Arsenal's imitation of Hanyang-made rifles, in fact, He Zhengdao also received news. In his opinion, this is somewhat of a waste of resources. But they couldn't help it, Liu Bocheng and they were delighted! After all, imitation is also a gun!
Well, as far as the current situation is concerned, we have set up an arsenal in Huangyadong and Dabie Mountain. Some time ago, Commander Chen of the New Fourth Army also sent me a telegram, hoping to provide them with some military technicians.
The establishment of these ordnance factories has also trained a large number of military technicians for us. When these technicians grow up, we will have greater development in the future. I heard that Vice Chairman Zhou recruited talents from the navy in the south? ’
Thinking of the news he heard some time ago, He Zhengdao also tried to ask. And Mr. Zhu didn't hide it and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your kid is quite well-informed!" Yes, it's a good idea to be prepared!
During the Republic of China, we also had a large number of shipbuilding technicians in the south. It's just that as the little devils invaded our ports, a lot of equipment was forcibly seized by them. However, there are also many talents in this field who are scattered all over the world.
At the previous meeting, the chairman also proposed that in the future, whether we take Shandong or North China, we should recover some coastal port cities. At that time, there may be a need for relevant technical personnel.
He made such a decision in the hope that when we are really capable of holding the port, we will not even have a single naval talent. Technicians who know how to build ships believe that they know more about the Navy than we do. ”
Such an answer also surprised He Zhengdao. It's just that in the current situation, it is more difficult to build a naval force to protect the country than it is to form an air force!
One year of the army, ten years of the air force, and a hundred years of the navy, this is a sentence that circulated on the Internet in later generations. From these words, we can also hear how difficult it is to build a strong navy.
You can prepare in advance, and you should come in He Zhengdao. After all, when the People's Republic of China was just founded in history, China's coastal defense forces were also very thin. But even so, they still defended the coastal defense line of the motherland.
If you can share some of the spoils belonging to China during World War II, you can carve up the powerful naval power of the little devils. Then the revival time of the Chinese Navy may be shorter than in history! (To be continued.) )
