Chapter 749 What are you doing?

Hurry!

Yang Jingyu tore up a manuscript paper with words in a irritation. After tearing it in half, he looked at the paper lying on the ground with a "wrongedness". He sighed softly, picked them up and placed them on the wooden table to smooth them again. He was about to pick up the pen and want to add something to it, but after thinking about it, he gave up, and he had no choice but to close the pen cap and stare at the manuscript paper.

The central government asked him to summarize the essence of this battle, and the most important thing was to ask him to sort out the theories and characteristics of the large corps' defense operations as soon as possible for the brothers in the Central Plains to learn from.

In this battle, the Anti-Japanese United Army mobilized four divisions of its headquarters and eight regiments of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi that were launched in January. In addition to the temporary armed people, plus one division of the friendly Ma Zhanshan division, the forces of the joint command reached 80,000, and the opponent was about 150,000 Japanese and puppet troops. In terms of force, it is the first time that the ** Army faced a large-scale defensive battle with such a concentrated force to fight.

The tactical ideas, experiences and lessons in the battles are of great reference significance for future large-scale corps operations. No wonder the central government asked Yang Jingyu to summarize.

When guerrilla warfare develops to a certain level, it will inevitably move towards a stage of heavy decisive battle. This battle may become a turning point, and it is very necessary to summarize a set of military theories.

There are many examples of military books and wars that can be learned from, and there are also many military theories that can be referred to. However, Yang Jingyu always felt that there were too many theories that were written by the staff members, and that they could not easily integrate the characteristics of the Anti-Japanese United Army's combat. He always said that Sun Tzu's Art of War, Clausewitz, Shaposhnikov, etc., which were big and empty. Some staff members even believed that this was a general guerrilla war, which decomposed this big battle into small battles to prove their views.

These are not what Yang Jingyu wants. What he wants is a matter of combining theory with practice, appropriate and specific things. After all, big and empty things are harmful to people, and he really doesn't want to present this thing to the central government.

He was not satisfied with what he wrote. He had summarized that this was an active defensive war at the level, and could even explain in detail how he combined the real and virtual, how to deploy elite surprises to attack the enemy's side and back, how to exert subjective initiative, and how to carry forward the fearless spirit of not fearing sacrifice. But he always felt that the essence was not grasped and lacked an internal theoretical pillar.

A battle of this scale cannot be said to be finished as long as it is finished, and it cannot be said that if you win in a mess, everything will be fine. What about next time? If the situation is probably the same, should you fight like this? If you lose, you don’t know how you lost, just like you don’t know how you won this time? This is absolutely not possible.

To become a qualified military commander and grow into a general who can command large corps operations, you need to learn and not be ashamed to ask questions.

He decided to ask Ma Qian'an, "You can't make this kid feel too comfortable in the hospital. I heard that this kid can already run around in a wheelchair. It's not a difficult problem to exercise his brain, right?"

It seemed that Yang Jingyu's "difficulty" did not stump Ma Qian'an at all. The day after Yang Jingyu sent the telegram, he received a reply from Ma Qian'an.

In the call, Ma Qian'an did not forget to greet the old leader, report on his physical condition, and scratched Yang Jingyu's head anxiously, trying to skip the long and long "nonsense", but was afraid that there was something in the nonsense, so he had to patiently read two pages of "nonsense".

"This brat seems to be prepared."

The third page finally got to the point. Ma Qian'an first briefly reviewed the background of the entire battle and the process of each battle. Of course, he must have known what happened after he was unconscious. This also shows that Ma Qian'an has always been paying attention to this battle, and his understanding is no less than that of the staff officer in the headquarters. Perhaps it was the staff officer who told him.

After getting to the topic, Ma Qian'an's telegram actually only elaborated on one theory, that is, technology determines tactics.

Ma Qian'an pointed out that the combat spirit and military strategy that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces have always emphasized are not much better than the Japanese army in this specific battle. Under the influence of the Bushido, the Japanese army has always had a strong fighting spirit and can be compared with the regular army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Therefore, in this regard, the two armies are half a dozen. In terms of military strategy, the Japanese army often makes surprise plans, ambush, sneak attack, siege, and siege, and also performs well in combination of Zhengqi.

However, the only thing that the Japanese army is worse than the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces is that in terms of weapons, the heavy weapons are comparable. In the later stage, American aircraft assisted the war, and the heavy weapons were slightly higher than the Japanese army. In terms of light weapons, the Japanese army was one level worse than the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. In this context, the difference in military strength was not very different, and the ammunition was decisive. It is not surprising that the defense war can win. In a word, this is a battle between individual submachine guns and rifles.

In the end, Ma Qian'an also asked "sarcastically" that if there was another battle like this, please ask Yang Jingyu to command him, so as to put a gold on his face and earn the reputation of a famous general. Don't be too famous, like Zhukov.

Zhukov? Don't be too famous? Yang Jingyu almost subconsciously knocked over the water cup. But then he thought about it, Yang Jingyu recalled Ma Qian'an's comments on Zhukov. Ma Qian'an believed that Zhukov was a famous general who relied on his advantages in technical and weapons. Thinking about the battles he fought, most of them were won with manpower and material resources that exceeded his opponent's. It really was a bit like what Ma Qian'an said.

Ma Qian'an, this guy, only weapons theory! If you write a battle summary around this theory, will you also be known as only weapons theory? Moreover, this summary has no guiding significance for the Eighth Route Army in the Central Plains region, and they do not have any technical weapons that are stronger than the Japanese army. Even though the Ansai Arsenal has produced many weapons, individual weapons are not as good as the Anti-Japanese United Army, and ammunition supply is not as convenient as the Anti-Japanese United Army. In short, the Eighth Route Army cannot afford such a battle.

But if he didn't write this way, it would be unrealistic. So far, he has not found any examples of this theory that can be overturned. After thinking about it, Yang Jingyu decided to summarize it according to Ma Qian'an's ideas.

The "Summary Report on the Battle of Erguna Left and Left Banner" was finally written and sent to Yan'an. Mao Zd attached great importance to this summary. He found the senior commanders at home to discuss it several times, and after adding some discussion opinions, he sent it to the military and political leaders of the first-level military region.

Opinion of the Central Military Commission: The Military Commission believes that the troops in the Central Plains region are currently conducting such a battle unconditionally, but the Military Commission does not deny that there will be opportunities to carry out such a battle in the future. Please ask the commanders to study carefully and find a battle model that suits their war zones so that they can be useful in the future.

As a key point for the summary of this battle, Ma Qian'an did not escape Mao's eyes. After the document was issued, Mao was half happy and half angry and ordered the confidential bureau staff, "Send a telegram to Xiao Ma, but he never sent me a letter after being injured. I understand this. Why did the injuries improve? I have given Yang Jingyu advice, so I can't report my thoughts to me? Ask him, what are you doing?"
