After explaining Yi Liangpin, Guo Bingxun wanted to say something more about the particularity of the Korean battlefield. But looking at the time on the watch, I finally swallowed the words back. However, Guo Bingxun told Yi Liangpin that he would go to his place after the meeting. Regarding the Korean battlefield, I have some separate things to talk to him about.

After the deployment for the Korean battlefield has been explained, it means that all the arrangements for this battle have been distributed to the hands of all senior commanders. The only thing that has not yet been explained to the military and political chiefs of these various strategic directions is the time when the final attack will be launched.

After Guo Bingxun finished explaining the entire deployment of the battle, Yang Zhen, who had not said a word since entering the venue, stood up and walked to a blackboard hanging in the conference room, sketched a simple world map with a few strokes, and then wrote a few lines on the edge of the map.

Only then did he turn around and look at all the senior generals present and said, "You take stock of the equipment of the troops in your respective hands, especially the heavy equipment, how much we produce ourselves?" How much of the heavy equipment in our hands is second-hand goods that people don't want? Thinking about the expansion of our troops and the speed with which heavy weapons are in place. ”

"The United States and Britain lost more than 2,000 tanks in two months on the battlefield in Western Europe. And for us, this kind of loss is absolutely nerve-wracking, and it can even be said that it is simply irreparable. For them, it was not big on the whole, and the Americans replenished it all within a month, and even shipped a large number of replenished equipment to France and England, so that they could be lost and replenished at any time. ”

"During the continuous assault after the landing, an armored division of the US army destroyed 300 percent of the number of tanks it had built. However, the combat effectiveness and assault capability of this division have not been reduced in any way. Where did these tanks come from? It's that they can lose at any time and replenish at any time. ”

"The reason why they've been able to do this is that there's only one thing. Because behind them, stands the powerful industrial manufacturing capacity of the Americans. These battle-damaged tanks and all the equipment can be replenished in the shortest possible time. As far as the United States and Britain are concerned, it is not that they cannot afford to lose equipment, but that they cannot afford to lose people. ”

"During the entire Normandy landings, the United States and Britain committed more than 5,300 ships, including 13 battleships, 47 cruisers, 134 destroyers, and more than 4,100 landing ships, as well as more than 5,000 transport fleets. And within a month, they landed 170,000 trucks and nearly 600,000 tons of war materials. ”

During the Normandy landings alone, the United States and Britain dispatched more than 13,000 combat aircraft. Among them, there are more than 5,800 bombers, 4,900 fighters, and more than 3,000 transport planes and gliders. In order to airdrop two airborne divisions of the US army and one airborne division of the British army, 1,800 transport planes and 1,200 gliders were dispatched. ”

"Not only in one night, more than 35,000 paratroopers were parachuted. Five hundred and four artillery pieces, one hundred and ten light tanks, plus more than a thousand tons of supplies were also parachuted. At the same time, the U.S. military is also engaged in the battle for the Mariana Islands in the Pacific theater, and has also invested a large number of naval and air forces. ”

"In the ensuing battle of Caen, we faced the strength of a German armored division. Thousands of bombers were dispatched to drop thousands of tons of high-explosive bombs. Hundreds of heavy artillery pieces were concentrated, and 24 hours a day of uninterrupted fire to cover the attack. Destroying thousands of German troops consumed hundreds or thousands of times more ammunition than ours. ”

"And we have two paratrooper divisions airborne, not counting supplies and heavy weapons, but we can only scrape together to barely have enough aircraft. The Americans were fighting fiercely in the Asian theater and were pinned down by a large number of naval and air forces, but at the same time they were able to devote a large number of naval cover landing forces to Western Europe, and their large-caliber naval guns controlled the entire 30-kilometer radius of Normandy beaches. ”

"Let's not talk about how the US and British armies are performing on the ground, not to mention the shortcomings of their adoption of this kind of advancing solely by relying on firepower superiority. What I want to talk about today is the national strength of these two countries, ensuring that they can invest such a large number of troops and equipment and consume ammunition in both battlefields at the same time. ”

"It's not something that a country can be satisfied with just how many resources and mines it has, and it's not something that the country can achieve by simply having a lot of resources and mines. What they rely on is the developed industrial strength of the United States and Britain, especially the manufacturing capacity to turn steel into equipment. ”

"You don't know exactly why the start of this battle has been delayed until now. I can tell you directly today that, among other reasons, the amount of heavy equipment required to carry out this campaign has not been able to meet the needs, and it has been delayed until this time. ”

"The Americans, in order to prepare for the campaign in Western Europe and to give priority to replenishing the Soviets, who were carrying out full-scale counteroffensive operations, have stopped providing our tank assistance since the end of the last battle. It was only when they gained a foothold in Western Europe that they resumed providing aid, and it was mostly second-hand goods from the Germans. Now when the Americans catch a cold, we have a cold and a fever. ”

"The United States and Britain can dispatch more than 4,000 landing ships for a landing operation, and this is still the situation that the Americans also need to invest a large number of landing ships in the Pacific theater. However, if we want to carry out a landing operation, we can only rely on sailing ships. ”

"And apart from two small gunboats, there are basically no ships that can provide fire cover. In the years since the capture of Harbin, we have not stopped making steamboats. But in a few years, we did our best to produce a total of more than 50 ships. And it was a ship with only a hundred and ten tons of wooden hull and no armor protection. ”

"There are also combat aircraft, which can be given whatever people want, and we can only passively accept it, and there is no room for bargaining. The Americans have always refused to provide us with their latest fighters, and our aviation can only use second-rate fighters to fight against the Japanese aviation. ”

"Although in recent years, we have made great achievements in industrial construction. But we still can't meet the demand for all kinds of equipment that the army needs. Our current steel production is only a fraction of that of others. The production of heavy equipment such as our aircraft is not even a fraction of what people do. Our tank production in a few months is not even comparable to the production of other people's tanks in one day. ”

"Some of you may say in your hearts that we're in a good place right now. At least it is much stronger than the Chongqing side, which can't even make artillery. But I tell you that this is not enough, because we are still heavily dependent on foreign aid, and our industry is not yet able to meet our own needs for modern warfare. ”

"When I say this to you today, I am not stating how powerful the Americans are or how they cannot be offended. Not to mention that they are still our allies for the time being, even if our opponent today is the Americans, we, as a Chinese soldier, must not hesitate to fight them. ”

"Because I and you are both soldiers, it is our duty to defend our homeland and country. No matter how powerful the enemy who encroaches on the territory of our country, how developed the industry is. But once it threatens the life and death of our nation and the integrity of our territory, we must dare to fight them at any time and in any place, regardless of who they are. ”

"To stand is to use our flesh and blood to become a great wall of steel to protect our nation and territory. Even if you lie down, you have to turn into a barrier to protect the land and the nation. This is our duty as soldiers and the mission that history has given us. ”

"What I am saying to you today is by no means to tell you not to fight the Americans, let alone to make you afraid of the Americans. I don't care what my opponent is, how strong the national power is behind him, as long as he dares to violate us, I will fight them to the end. ”

"I'm just telling you the meaning of this battle and what our country needs most right now. South Manchuria, which has been painstakingly operated by the Japanese for decades, is the largest industrial area in China at present, and its industrial system and industrial capacity are unmatched by any other place in China. We have been operating in Beiman for many years, and the industry that we have barely built up cannot be compared. ”

"Whether or not we can completely seize the entire South Manchurian industry is related to whether or not we can build our own strong national defense cause in the future. Will it make our humiliation today not happen again to our children and grandchildren? The key lies in making us, a great country with a history of several thousand years of civilization and a population of hundreds of millions, plug in the wings of modern civilization. ”

"Our ancestors once created a glorious history and civilization, and led the world into modern civilization with the four great inventions. We Chinese have never lacked enthusiasm and command for building our own country. As long as we can work hard, surpassing the Americans in the near future is not a simple dream. Today's contribution of our generation is for tomorrow's better harvest. ”

"Now, in my capacity as commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, I order you to completely recapture these factories built by the Japanese since the Sino-Japanese War by plundering the fat and flesh of the Chinese people since the Sino-Japanese War. Give us, a nation that is suffering, a pair of wings to take off as a strong and powerful country. ”

"I have only one word for you about this battle. As long as the entire South Manchurian industrial base can be preserved, it will be completely returned to the hands of the Chinese. Not to mention Wang Xiaoming's five divisions, even if our entire army is wiped out, we will not hesitate to do so. We have fought the light, and our fraternal troops have liberated the whole of China. ”

"But the industrial base in South Manchuria is broken, and we want to re-establish it, which will make our nation pay an unbearable heavy price, and it will slow us down to catch up with the world for decades. Because we can't rely on the enormous wealth accumulated over hundreds of years of colonial plunder, as the Western powers did, to achieve their own industrialization and modernization. ”

"As a big country, but also a weak country. A large part of the territory is still stuck in the Chinese of the feudal small peasant era. We want to move into the ranks of a modern industrial nation and catch up with the achievements of today's Americans. So that our children and grandchildren will no longer have to endure the suffering we endure today. ”

"All we can give is our sweat and even our lives. Remember the mission given to you by the times, and use all your strength to fulfill the expectations of the motherland and the people for us, and completely take back the entire South Manchurian Industrial Zone. The people of the whole country will be watching our performance in this battle and whether we can achieve the final victory in this strategic decisive battle. ”

After Yang Zhen's words, all the cadres attending the meeting as observers have already understood the determination made by the headquarters. All the senior cadres attending the meeting stood up in unison. The crow silently looked at the solemn expressions of No. 1 and No. 3 in front of him, waiting for the final order.
