[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 288: Expressing Attitude! (Ask for a subscription!) )
Hearing that Ma Zheng was going to attack Datong, everyone in the conference room was stunned. Although everyone is not affiliated with a political force, they are all fighting in the land of Sanjin now, and they are all subordinate to the battle sequence of the Second War Zone, and they all have a general understanding of what level they are with each other.
In their understanding, the image of the Eighth Route Army is always associated with the Japanese army's transport convoys and strongholds in remote areas, and guerrilla without attack is the description of the Eighth Route Army by the high-level of the Nationalist Government, and it is also the evaluation of the Eighth Route Army. However, due to the sudden rise of Ma Zheng's department, few people now say that the Eighth Route Army is not attacking, but sometimes once the image is formed, it is difficult to erase it from the bottom of my heart.
Besides, even if the Jin Sui Army doesn't know much about the Eighth Route Army, they know their enemies! The strength of the Japanese has penetrated deep into the marrow of the Jin Sui army, thinking that Yan Xishan, the commander of the Jin Sui army, shouted to block the Japanese from Shanxi, and organized a Datong Battle at the beginning of the war, but as a result, the military town of Tianzhen was lost after only a week, and the Datong Battle was just a mouthful, and it was miscarried after half of the implementation.
The same was true of the later Battle of Xinkou, where more than 30 divisions defended Xinkou, but were beaten by one and a half divisions of Seishiro Itagaki and abandoned their armor and retreated all the way south, even Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province.
You must know that Taiyuan is not only the provincial capital of Shanxi, but also the nest of Yan Dashuai, whose Taiyuan Arsenal was the second largest arsenal in China at that time after the Hanyang Arsenal, and it was definitely the first in the country in terms of equipment manufacturing level.
Because the retreat was too sudden at that time, the Jin Sui army did not even have time to relocate the Taiyuan Arsenal when it retreated, let alone blow it up, and finally almost all the equipment fell into the hands of the Japanese. In the end, this batch of equipment was disassembled and dismantled by the Japanese army, and then loaded and transported to Shenyang, and then the Shenyang Arsenal, which greatly increased its strength, became the largest arsenal of the Japanese army in China, and used it to provide ammunition for the Japanese army to attack China.
After more than a year of continuous fighting, the Japanese army left only two words on the impression left by the Jin Sui army - fierce! Even Yan Xishan once shouted to recover all the lost territory in Jin Province, but the result was just shouting. And it was not implemented. Now the Eighth Route Army wants to fight Datong, which is a kind of self-indulgence in the eyes of these senior officers of the Jin Sui Army.
What is Datong, this is the most important ruling point of the Japanese army in the southern and northern Jinbei and Suidong regions, it is no exaggeration to say that even Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province, is not as important as Datong. Don't look at Ma Zheng's subordinates now laying down Jining and Guisui, but as long as the Japanese hold Datong for a long time, the threat faced by Ma Zheng's subordinates will not decrease.
Ma Zheng saw everyone's expressions, and Ma Zheng knew what everyone thought, but he didn't explain. Instead, he said: "Now that the troops are going to war, we have two arrangements for the leaders and the generals of the friendly forces, the first is that all of you will stay in Guisui and wait for the news of our triumph. The second plan is for you to also go to the frontline battlefield and command the battle with me. ”
"But the soldiers are in danger, and no one knows what we will encounter on the front line, whether it will be a bombing by the little devil's plane or a heavy artillery attack, these are not certain. So we don't force ourselves to go to the front line or not, you can do it yourself! ”
Yang Aiyuan thought for a while and said, "Since there is going to be a war." It's not interesting for us to stay in the rear, and Commander Yan ordered us to come to your army for exchange and study, so I hope that Commander Ma can let me and others go to the front line to command the battle together. We can even allow these young people of our army to go directly to the grassroots units of your army and participate in the battles in concrete terms, so that we can see how your army fights and exchange ideas! I don't know what Commander Ma thinks. ”
Ma Zheng immediately said, "No problem. Learning should be in-depth, what can be learned! But you generals don't go deep into the grassroots, after all, I can't explain to my superiors if you lose the last one. ”
Although Ma Zheng's voice is not very high, it is absolutely shocking, although Yang Aiyuan and others also want to see the actual combat ability of Ma Zheng's department. But if he wanted to come, Ma Zheng would not agree to their request. That will reveal a lot of military secrets, first of all, the degree of weaponry and equipment of the troops, and secondly, the quantity and quality of personnel, all of which will be hidden.
But what he didn't expect was that Ma Zheng not only promised them to go to the front-line command headquarters to fight together, but also let the members of the Jinsui Army Observation Group go directly to the front-line combat troops, which was the most direct way to understand the Eighth Route Army, and this first-hand information was the most real and detailed, how could this make him not overjoyed.
"Okay, all the generals are with the former enemy command of your army, and the school officers are sent to the grassroots units of your army to participate in the front-line battles!" Yang Aiyuan agreed to Ma Zheng's plan.
Yang Aiyuan agreed very happily, anyway, Ma Zheng said so, what does he Yang Aiyuan have to be reserved, if he doesn't agree, he will seem to be a thief. Besides, such a good opportunity, how could he miss it.
Then Yang Aiyuan turned to the officers around him and said, "Fellow Jin Army, as Commander Ma Zheng said, we are all guests and spectators!" The guests should have the consciousness of the guests, and they will listen to Commander Ma on how to arrange on the battlefield, and only watch and don't talk about the rest of the time, understand. ”
Yang Aiyuan didn't say it very highly, but it was very imposing, and all the officers of the Jin Sui Army answered yes.
"In addition, the officers who go to the front-line troops to study should also listen to the command of the officers of the Eighth Route Army on the front line, don't think that they are not obeying the command, even if the commanders of the Eighth Route Army order you to take a gun to the battlefield, you must resolutely carry out the order, and all those who can't do it will stay in the command headquarters!" Yang Aiyuan said again.
"Yes"
The officers of the Jin Sui Army had a very loud voice, and when they thought about Chief Yang's words, they just talked, could the Eighth Route Army really let them participate in the battle with pistols?
However, to everyone's surprise, as the supreme commander of the battle, Ma Zheng did not say anything polite.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Let's do it according to the military rank granted to you by the national government, the major will go to the battalion, the lieutenant colonel will go to the regiment, the colonel will go to the brigade, and the major general and lieutenant general will command with me." Anyway, the lieutenant colonels and colonels are all front-line commanders, just let them communicate with the battalion commander and regiment commander of our department, as for the others, they are very delicate, and the loss of one is not good-looking, what do you want to do, Chief Yang? ”
Some things must be said well, whether it is a villain first and then a gentleman, or a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He Ma Zheng can't afford to trap friendly generals in the hands of enemy troops, and he can't afford to be suspected of engaging in friction.
Yang Aiyuan also knew Ma Zheng's worries, he now had a new understanding of China's youngest general, and he no longer thought that Ma Zheng was just a moment of good luck. Ma Zheng's prudence and wit are the only ones he has seen in recent years, whether it is the tiger general nephew of the Northwest Army general Zhang Xinchen or the young generals under Chief Yan, they cannot be compared with the weak crown age of the Eighth Route Army general.
And this Ma Zheng speaks very skillfully, and he doesn't seem to have much deep meaning, but he has a lot of ways to savor it, just these few words. Careless people may only take it as a kind word. But Yang Aiyuan knew that this guy was squeezing him with words, and wanted him to make a statement, that is, these officers who went to the front line were destined for their own lives, and he Ma Zheng would not be responsible for anything that happened.
Yang Aiyuan was also very single, and said directly: "Commander Ma said with a smile, since we are here to learn from your department, we must be prepared to go to the battlefield." Since no one is guaranteed to come back alive on the battlefield, the officers of the Jin Sui Army who went to the front line this time, whether it is me or others, are life and death, and if something happens, even if they leave their lives in front of them, they can't complain to others, and they have nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army and Commander Ma. ”
In fact, Yang Aiyuan didn't want to say this, but how to say that he is also a person with status, and he should have the courage and responsibility. Besides, this time the Eighth Route Army really showed sincerity, and he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he was very simple in this state! (To be continued.) )
