Chapter 380: The Last Order
After saying this, Yang Zhen, who calmed down, turned his head to Du Kaishan and said: "You immediately convey my order, and all army units, aviation units, and ship units stationed in the DPRK immediately carry out operations in accordance with the predetermined plan, and send the troops currently stationed in Busan and Ulsan to the Japanese mainland in the shortest possible time."

"You, the commander-in-chief of the cluster in North Korea, have officially been reappointed as the commander-in-chief of the cluster in Japan today. The former Cluster Command in North Korea was officially reorganized into the Cluster Command in Japan. However, the Korean Independence Army (KIA) officially broke away from your command and established the Korean People's Army. However, in view of the current strength of the Japanese army in Japan, the headquarters has decided to temporarily transfer two Korean independent army brigades to your command. ”
"The second paratrooper division of the first wave of landing forces, plus an airlifted light infantry division was commanded by Sui Changqing, and Du Kaishan followed with the second echelon and the headquarters. You are about to get into the groove of work, and in the shortest possible time, you will complete the strategic goal of landing the headquarters on the Japanese mainland. Sui Changqing, you immediately rushed to the airport to command and lead the first echelon. ”
"Remember, if the Japanese resist, you will open fire. Lao Du's second echelon will land to support you in the shortest possible time. The deterrent power of the aviation will also provide you with fire cover after receiving your request. Remember, as long as Japan dares to resist after you land, you will beat me hard. ”
After receiving Yang Zhen's order, Sui Changqing didn't say anything. just endured the excitement in his heart, and saluted Yang Zhen, Guo Bingxun, and Du Kaishan and ran directly to the airport after saluting a standard military salute. There, a transport aircraft brigade, as well as the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Paratrooper Division, as the leading force, and six squadrons of the Special Operations Command were already waiting for him.
And in the airfields behind Busan, a lightly armed infantry division plus the main force of the 2nd Paratrooper Division, as well as a large number of transport planes, are ready to leave at any time. These aircraft groups include not only almost all of the Junkers 52 transport planes of the Anti-United Nations, but also American-made transport planes and the Stirling bombers that have been rerouted.
In addition, a B24 bomber group, two Yak-9 fighter groups, and one group each of SBD dive bombers and A20 attack planes, as well as four independent B-25 bomber squadrons, were also hung up with high-explosive aerial bombs, napalm, and rockets, and were waiting for the take-off order to cooperate with his forced landing operation.
For this operation, all the air forces that can be dispatched in the northeast were transferred to the DPRK. A part of the aircraft group was also transferred from the Kannai battlefield to ensure that the air force had enough planes and had sufficient deterrent power against the army and navy on the Japanese mainland to suppress their abnormal movements.
The Japanese emperor announced his surrender, but it was inevitable that there would be changes in the Japanese army and navy, especially the Japanese army, which had the largest number of diehards. These people dare to kill even the commander of the 2nd Guards Division, let alone the armed forces of the enemy country? In particular, all the locations where the first troops chose to land were basically on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, where Japan was heavily fortified.
Both Kure, Sasebo, Kobe, and Yokosuka are all on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea in Honshu, Japan. There is only one Maizuru on the west coast, and only small and medium-sized ships such as destroyers can be built. The first three naval shipyards were the main shipyards of the Japanese Navy. Most of the large and medium-sized ships of the Japanese Navy were built by these shipyards.
Yang Zhen's first wave of target selection is here, of course, he has his own strategic intentions. But the biggest difficulty is that these major shipyards are located in the Seto Inland Sea. This has undoubtedly created a gap between the landing echelon and the landing echelon, especially when Japan's land railway transportation has been blown up by the Anti-United Nations. Therefore, ensuring sufficient deterrence is also a necessary means for Yang Zhen to take under such circumstances.
At the same time, in order to ensure the ability to maneuver in Japan, both Sui Changqing of the landing echelon and Du Kaishan of the landing echelon have also been fully authorized to recruit all cars in Japan, especially military trucks, to carry out tasks. Even this authorization includes all transport planes and bombers that can take off in Japan.
Considering that Japan itself is currently in an extreme oil shortage. Yang Zhen ordered the logistics department to hoard materials in Busan Port and Ulsan Port, in addition to some food and medicine, there were also 10,000 tons of gasoline and 50,000 tons of marine diesel, the latest product of the Kanglian Oil Refinery.
Yang Zhen has made thorough preparations for this operation, from the development of the entire operation, to the means of transportation, logistics and supplies required for the continuation of the operation, as well as the route of retreat, all of which have been considered quite thoroughly. Even when Wang Xiaoming was transferred back to North Korea and Du Kaishan was transferred to North Korea, there was part of the reason for preparing for this operation.
And receiving Yang Zhen's order, for Sui Changqing personally, it would be false to say that he was not excited. Although three days ago, on the day of his arrival in Korea, No. 1 had already talked to him, and he commanded the first echelon of the Anti-Japanese League to land in Japan. But today, receiving the official landing order issued by No. 1 in person, for Sui Changqing, it was still extremely exciting.
Since he participated in the Anti-Japanese Federation for three or five years, he has been fighting a bloody war with the Japanese army for ten years. For the sake of today's countless comrades-in-arms, sacrificed in the ice and snow. For today, he used to be hungry and unclothed, and fought in the freezing cold of dozens of degrees below zero. After countless life and death tribulations, we finally ushered in the day of victory in the Anti-Japanese War.
Now he is ordered to command the operation of the first unit to land on the Japanese mainland among the millions of troops of the entire Anti-Japanese Federation, and has become the first senior commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation to step into the Japanese mainland, how can he not be excited. He is a survivor of this 14-year struggle for which countless people have sacrificed, and he is the lucky one among the survivors.
Looking at the back of Sui Changqing leaving, Yang Zhen smiled and didn't make any comments. The excited look in Sui Changqing's eyes, he didn't see it, but Yang Zhen didn't think there was anything about it. Hitting the Japanese mainland is the dream of many Chinese after the September 18 incident. Now that this dream that I once thought was far away has really come true, the excitement is reasonable.
After Sui Changqing left, Yang Zhen looked at Du Kaishan and was silent for a moment before saying, "I have already talked to you about what I want you to do in North Korea." All the plans and goals have been handed down to you. When Ren Guang returns from the Soviet Union, he will assist you in your actions. I don't want to say anything else, these things are related to China's next industrial construction, no matter what you think, you have to get it all for me. ”
Yang Zhen's order made Du Kaishan hesitate for a moment and finally said: "No. 1, just the garrison of the Japanese mainland, I have nothing to worry about." However, there is one point that is somewhat difficult to deal with, once the US troops are stationed, what will we do to block our operations? ”
Regarding Du Kaishan's question, Yang Zhen didn't think about it: "The Americans stopped you, what are the guns in your hands for?" If the Americans don't shoot first, you don't shoot either, but you have to be tough. If the Americans shoot first, you have nothing to taboo about, just hit it. ”
"Also, you must move quickly after you land. Strive to complete as many tasks as possible before the large-scale landing of the Americans. Don't worry about your back roads, the headquarters will support you. However, whether or not you can get the most out of your actions in the shortest possible time has a direct bearing on the General Headquarters' representations with the United States. ”
After explaining the matters that Du Kaishan needed to pay attention to, Yang Zhen's tone suddenly had an indescribable melancholy: "Old Du, this may be the last order I gave you in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army." ”
"I ask you and all the commanders and fighters who participated in this operation to remember that whether this plan can be realized or not is related to whether or not we can enter a channel of rapid development in the future. Remember that your action is carried on the back of the hopes of the whole nation. I hope that you will show your wisdom and courage on the battlefield and win this battle, which may not necessarily be smoked by gunpowder. Lao Du, please. ”
Yang Zhen's confession and melancholy tone, Du Kaishan pondered for a while and then raised his head and said, "No. 1, I understand what you said. Please rest assured that I will complete the tasks assigned to me by my superiors with quality and quantity. We will also try our best to handle the relationship with the US military and will not embarrass the headquarters. ”
"You and No. 3 take care, I'll go to Busan Port to take charge. As soon as I received the landing from Lao Sui, I immediately forced my way across the Korean Strait, and immediately after landing on the Japanese mainland, I immediately launched an operation according to the original plan. Strive to complete the tasks assigned by superiors in the shortest possible time. ”
"Number one, number three, you will always be my commander and chief of staff. I know that the war with Japan is over now, and maybe in the near future, there will definitely be changes among us who will eventually go in different directions, and maybe it will not be possible to fight by your side forever. ”
"But the two of you will always be the head of my Du Kaishan. These years of fighting under your two commands are something I will never forget, and it is the most glorious page in my life and the most important harvest in my life. Two chiefs, no matter where I go to the ends of the earth, I will be your two soldiers. ”
After saying this, Du Kaishan turned around and left the small courtyard that was temporarily used as the headquarters after giving Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun a military salute. Hop into his car outside the courtyard gate and speed towards the port of Busan. He didn't dare to stay, he didn't want No. 1 and No. 3 to see the tears in his eyes.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but at this time, Du Kaishan's eyes were involuntarily full of tears. As he said, the experience of fighting under Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun over the years is the biggest gain in his life and the most unforgettable experience.
It was under the strict teaching of Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun that he grew from a platoon commander of the Sichuan Army to a senior general commanding tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, in just a few years. Sitting in the car, the scenes of these years are constantly replaying in his mind like a movie.
Now that the political commissar has been transferred, Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang have also been transferred. Most of the old comrades-in-arms who once fought together in the ice and snow of the Northeast are now on different sides of the world. Du Kaishan knew that maybe when he returned from Japan, he would no longer be greeted by those superiors and comrades-in-arms he was familiar with.
In fact, Du Kaishan barely held tears when he parted, although he hid it well. But Yang Zhen still saw it clearly. It's just that he didn't say it. What Du Kaishan was thinking in his heart, Yang Zhen, who knew him very well, still knew it. The reason why he didn't say it was because he didn't want to increase Du Kaishan's sadness when he was leaving.
is not only the original commander-in-chief, Li Yanping, Wang Guangyu, Chen Hanzhang and others who have been transferred away. and Guo Bingxun in front of him, who is also about to leave. The central authorities have approved the establishment of a command academy based on the Shandong branch of Kang Da to train command personnel at and above the regimental level, with Guo Bingxun as its president, and the location of this command academy is located in Shijiazhuang.
Guo Bingxun was able to get what he wanted, which Yang Zhen was very happy for him. This order is on Yang Zhen's body at the moment, which means that the next person to be transferred will be Guo Bingxun, and for the location of this military academy, Yang Zhen did not fight for it, because he knew that no matter how reluctant he was, the scene when the song would end up would come.
