Chapter 423: Chess Meets Opponents
Zhang Xueliang is a native of Northeast China, and his understanding of the Northeast has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw the line drawn by Xie Tian.
"Commander-in-chief, are you planning to cut the Kwantung Army into two parts with Dandong as the boundary?"
Xie Tian nodded: "It's planned like this, divide and annihilate, first separate the Kwantung Army into two parts, north and south, and you can choose to attack the Liaodong Peninsula and North Korea first or attack Jilin, Heilongjiang and Chahar first, depending on the situation." ”
Zhang Xueliang frowned and said: "From Shenyang to Dandong, it is basically all mountainous, and if such a large area is completely blocked and defended, it is very difficult to face the Japanese attack on the north and south lines at the same time. Moreover, the Japanese army has been in complete control of Korea for 34 years, and they can organize at least two corps in Korea, plus the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula, I think this strategic plan of the commander-in-chief will be difficult to achieve. ”
Since the signing of the treaty of union between Japan and North Korea in 1910, Korea has been regarded as Japan's territory, and if we count from the earlier Sino-Japanese naval war, Japan's control over Korea has been as long as 50 years, and a large number of young Koreans have begun to consider themselves Japanese.
The Korean ethnic group in Japan is another sad history of colonization and aggression.
Having the same experience is Wanwan, who has a soft spot for eggs and mustard.
Xie Tian listened to Zhang Xueliang quietly, pondered for a moment and said, "That's what I think......"
Pang Yuan paused silently for a while, caught an intermission in their discussion and said with a wry smile: "I can't intervene in the war, so let's continue to discuss, I will take someone to Beiping for a trip and come back in three or five days." ”
Xie Tian looked at Pang Yuan and nodded: "It's hard work, brother." ”
Pang Yuan waved his hand, shook hands with Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Gang and said goodbye, and Zhao Gang sent Pang Yuan to the door.
From the morning to the evening, Xie Tian and Zhang Xueliang were arguing around the sand table, and the two of them conducted the exercise directly on the sand table, withdrawing all kinds of possible things over and over again, and even the two of them were still arguing during dinner.
Xie Tian is the red side, representing the People's Liberation Army.
Zhang Xueliang is the blue side, representing the Japanese army.
After several pushes, the two of them played a chess game on the sand table to meet their opponents, even if Xie Tian used the air force and armored forces, and even cluster bombs and Red One did not have much upper hand.
Mountain warfare is different from plain warfare, and Xie Tian's big killer weapons cannot play a role in determining victory or defeat, but Zhang Xueliang has brought mountain warfare and jungle warfare into full play, and Xie Tian is very embarrassed to parry.
Zhao Gang took the lunch boxes of the three people off the stove, looked at the two people who were still gathered around the sand table and said, "It's hot again, let's eat something and rest first." ”
Xie Tian hummed and stared at the sand table with both hands on the border of the sand table, but he didn't mean to move his steps.
Zhang Xueliang smiled bitterly and looked at Xie Tian and said, "You're not hungry, I'm hungry, no matter what you are, you can figure it out by yourself, I'll eat something first." ”
Zhang Xueliang walked to the coffee table, saw the food in the lunch box and smiled: "Hey, there is braised pork, why didn't I see it just now." ”
Zhao Gang smiled: "It was sent by Madame just now, and she didn't take care of you when she saw that you were busy." ”
Zhao Gang walked up to Xie Tian and said, "Commander-in-chief, let's eat something first, maybe we can figure out a way to deal with the North Korean army with a change of brain." ”
Xie Tianleng looked at Zhao Gang for a moment: "What did you say?" ”
Zhao Gang didn't know what touched Xie Tian, and repeated: "I'll let you change your brain and eat something first, Mrs. also brought two bottles of wine just now, but it's good wine." ”
Xie Tian laughed and patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder: "Old Zhao, there is a way to liberate the Northeast." ”
As he spoke, Xie Tian strode to the coffee table: "Han Qing, I have a way to deal with your Korean army, what about the wine, hurry up and pour it for Lao Tzu, this time Lao Tzu will definitely beat you convincingly." ”
Zhang Xueliang smiled and unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, poured wine into the tea jar of the three of them, looked at Xie Tian who sat down and smiled: "I want to see how you beat me up." ”
Xie Tian took a big sip of the tea jar, looked at Zhang Xueliang with a smile and said: "The line from Shenyang to Dandong is all mountainous, and what you rely on in these exercises is the Korean army recruited by the Japanese in Korea who are good at mountain warfare, right?" ”
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "There are eight mountains, one water and one field in North Korea, and the North Koreans have been familiar with the mountains since they were children, and one of their fighters in mountain warfare can at least be worth four or five of our soldiers, and the aircraft and tank cluster bomb Red No. 1 in your hands will be greatly discounted in mountain warfare, especially in tunnel warfare, and the role played is even more minimal." I am afraid that a company of Korean soldiers will be able to contain the fighters of one of our regiments. ”
Xie Tian laughed: "You're right, I admit it." Our People's Liberation Army is also the ancestor of tunnel warfare, but after our troops gradually promoted mechanization, tunnel warfare was fought relatively rarely. The main reason is that fighting tunnel warfare is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and choosing to fight tunnel warfare when the enemy is strong and we are weak is one of the most effective tactics, but now our PLA is several times stronger than the enemy on the whole, so it is too lazy to fight tunnel warfare with the enemy. ”
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Now that the situation of the enemy and us has reversed, now the Japanese can take advantage of the favorable terrain of the mountains to fight a tunnel war with us." Therefore, I suggest that our first strategic goal is to focus on capturing the central city, give full play to our strengths, and take Shenyang and Changchun. Harbin and Mudanjiang, these important towns, radiate to the surrounding areas with the city as the center, and gradually expand our liberated areas. ”
The concept of big city warfare is the best combat strategy when the force is stronger than the enemy, and it is also the most prudent combat strategy.
The fundamental reason for the operational concept of encircling cities in the rural areas put forward by Mao in Yan'an was that the overall strength of the troops was too different from that of the Japanese army, and it was not suitable for launching large-scale group operations.
Chu Yunfei commented on Li Yunlong, aren't you the best at this in the eighth way, if you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run.
This is not a good remark, but it hits the nail on the head and points out the central idea of the strategy of encircling the cities in the countryside.
As for the later discussion of protracted warfare, this strategy was carried forward even more, and it was directly expressed in words: the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and we disturb......
Xie Tian smiled and waved his hand at Zhang Xueliang: "It's safe to fight like that, but it's not clean to eat, so you have to eat like this." ”
As he spoke, Xie Tian picked up a steamed bun and broke it, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it inside, and took a big bite.
Click, because the steamed bun has been scorched on the stove.
