Chapter 525 Advance to the Northeast Advance Detachment
Chapter 525: Advancing to the Northeast Advance Detachment
As the two newly formed troops, led by the two commanders Liu Yalou and Xu Guangda, slowly got on the right track, they were waiting for the arrival of the equipment. At the chairman's order, Liu Hua turned his gaze,
After returning to the important matter of the field army advancing into the Northeast, we began to concentrate on preparing for this huge battle...
After a grand military parade, the thunderous footsteps on the parade ground were heard, reaching the ears of everyone on the parade ground. Amidst the rounds of applause that kept ringing on the parade ground, these soldiers,
For the first time, I felt proud of myself...Similarly, the entire field army and commanders at division level and above who participated in the military parade also felt the importance of the cohesion of a unit during this military parade, and felt that they and themselves
The gap between other troops…
Ever since, with Liu Hua's order...the entire army of one hundred thousand troops began a new round of military training. Of course, this training was mainly aimed at the complex terrain and harsh weather in the Northeast.
A targeted training... In the sunshine, in the enthusiastic training atmosphere of the soldiers, a month passed in a hurry... Looking at the time, it was almost eight years until the Pacific War, that is, the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident.
Months. In other words, there are only eight months left before our Northeast Field Army can launch an attack on the Northeast...
At this moment, the two new types of troops just formed by the Military Commission have obtained the equipment they want and have begun training, striving to go to the battlefield in the shortest possible time and fight against the Japs... As for the hundreds of thousands of commanders and fighters of the Northeast Field Army
Amid the slogans of regaining Northeast China and defeating Japanese imperialism, we are also conducting various tactical trainings day by day...
As for the commander of the Northeast Field Army, Liu Hua, after the targeted training of the army slowly got on track, he handed over the entire training matter to the chief of staff Li Qing. As for himself, he stood at the command post.
On the wall, in front of a huge military map of the three northeastern provinces, based on the limited situation I have learned so far, I am thinking about the various bad situations that the troops may face after entering the Northeast and the corresponding solutions...
"Commander, if I remember correctly, you have been in front of this military map for a full week. How about, during this week, have you figured out a way for us to send troops to Northeast China?
The specific ideas..." Seeing that he was still sitting in front of the map, frowning, and thinking hard, political commissar Luo Ronghuan walked into the war room and asked...
"Political Commissar, the situation is not optimistic... According to what we know, if we want to join the Anti-Japanese Alliance, we must go deep into the three eastern provinces of nearly a thousand kilometers... This thousand kilometers of distance is very important to life.
For those of us who are familiar with the Northeast Field Army, it can be said to be a very huge test. If not, the entire Northeast Field Army, with one hundred thousand commanders and fighters, will be surrounded by heavy troops from the Japanese Kwantung Army..." Facing political commissar Luo Ronghuan
Liu Hua didn't hide anything, shook his head, and said helplessly...
"Tell it and listen, as the saying goes, three cobblers can beat Zhuge Liang. The two of us are better than one person..." Seeing the helpless commander Liu Hua in front of him, political commissar Luo Ronghuan also frowned.
He frowned in front of his partner Liu Hua, who had hardly encountered any difficulties in the past few years of the war...
"The situation is like this. Maybe the Japanese army has been prepared for a long time, or the Japanese army is trying to prevent our Eighth Route Army from continuing to expand. The little devils have set up a large number of checkpoints on all the roads leading to the three eastern provinces in North China. At the same time, they sent
A large number of troops are guarding it. First of all, when we march into the Northeast, we must first deal with the iron wall prepared by the little devil for us..." Liu Hua quickly drew a line on the map with a pencil and said with certainty...
"Commander, this line of defense is nearly a thousand kilometers long. No matter how sufficient the troops of the Japs are, it is impossible to cover every aspect. Do you think it is possible for us to seize a gap in the Japs' defense and make no noise?
Pass through the Japs' blockade. At that time, in the Northeast region, the Japs Kwantung Army will be caught off guard..." Looking at the nearly 1,000 kilometers of defense line on the map, political commissar Luo Ronghuan said thoughtfully...
"Political Commissar, don't forget me. This time, we will enter the Northeast with a hundred thousand troops. What's more important is that in order for the troops to gain a foothold in the shortest time, the entire field army will definitely carry a large number of troops.
It can be said that there is no place for such a large-scale march except the highway. Therefore, the suggestion of quietly passing through the Japanese blockade is very important to us now.
It will definitely not work..." Liu Hua shook his head and said with certainty...
"Sneak attacks will not work. It seems that we will have no other option except fighting all the way. Commander, I will leave this question here for now. What about the next question?" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, who could no longer think of any solution, asked
Likewise, he could only helplessly shake his head, then let out a long sigh and said...
"Okay, let's talk about the next question first. In addition to what we just said, how to get through the iron wall prepared by the little devils, the second question is that after the main force enters the three eastern provinces, within a short period of time, it will inevitably be attacked
A large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Japanese Kwantung Army. The entire army may fall into a heavy siege by the Japanese Kwantung Army at any time. Now, we are in our own base area, with good weather, favorable location, and people... We have at least two of these three. But
, after we entered the Northeast, we had none of the three: weather, location, and people. Therefore, before our main force enters the three northeastern provinces, we must first solve these two crucial issues: location, location, and people.
The factors are really not working, and we have to solve one of them. Otherwise, we have absolutely no confidence in winning against the large-scale Japs..." Liu Hua said resolutely...
"Commander, let me think about it... By the way, there is one thing that I almost forgot to report to you... In order for the troops to advance smoothly into the Northeast and open up a new anti-Japanese situation in the Northeast, I issued a special order
, that is, in the entire army, an inventory was carried out of soldiers who were native to the three northeastern provinces and soldiers who were originally from the Northeast Army. If you don’t check, you won’t know, but you will be shocked when you check. According to statistics, among the more than 100,000 commanders and fighters in the army, there are
There are 3,298 commanders and fighters from the Northeast, including 1,580 former soldiers of the Northeast Army. They include one regiment commander and four battalion commanders. As for company commanders and platoon commanders, they can be said to be countless, reaching more than 300 people. If not
If anything goes wrong, these people will definitely be of great benefit to our march into the Northeast..." Under Liu Hua's stunned face, political commissar Luo Ronghuan replied...
"Political Commissar, are you sure that there are really so many Northeastern soldiers in the army? In addition, there are more than a thousand former Northeastern Army soldiers?" After a brief shock, Liu Hua reacted with a look of surprise.
Asked rhetorically…
"Commander, I couldn't believe it at first. However, after confirmation, the data I just mentioned are not false. According to statistics, these Northeastern officers and soldiers basically came from Yan Xishan a year ago.
A battle of the army. At that time, among the more than 10,000 Jinsui officers and soldiers we captured and willing to join our Eighth Route Army, more than 1,000 of them were recruited by Yan Xishan from the Northeast Army that retreated into the pass with a lot of money.
officers and soldiers. However, in the end, they all took advantage of us..." Seeing the confused commander Liu Hua in front of him, political commissar Luo Ronghuan explained...
Under the reminder of the political commissar, Liu Hua finally remembered this battle. At the same time, he thought of history, before he came to this world, hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army soldiers did not let go under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang.
With one shot, a large area of land was given to the little devils and they retreated into the pass. Coupled with Chiang Kai-shek's various alienation and bribery methods, hundreds of thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers were eventually reduced to less than 100,000 troops. And those
A large number of veterans who were asked to retire were immediately divided up by various forces. Of course, Yan Xishan, who is closest to the three northeastern provinces, also recruited tens of thousands of veterans of the Northeast Army...
"Okay, now that we have these thousands of Northeastern commanders and fighters in our hands, we can solve the problem of geographical location. As for the problem of people and people, as long as we enter the three Northeastern provinces and establish base areas, we will rely on the capabilities of our Communists to gradually
To solve... Political Commissar, you are really a blessed general of our Northeast Field Army. As soon as you came here, half of the two problems surrounding my mind were solved at once. The remaining one is what I just said, the army should
How to get through the copper and iron walls prepared by the little devils for us..." As a problem was solved, a smile slowly appeared on Liu Hua's lips and he said to the political commissar...
"It would be great if there were anti-Union activities behind the iron wall of the little Japanese. When the time comes, we will attack the little Japanese from inside and outside. We will definitely be able to open a breakthrough in this iron wall in the shortest time and at the minimum cost.
Before the kid could react, he successfully marched into the three northeastern provinces..." The helpless political commissar said with a long sigh.
"Wait a minute, political commissar, what did you just say, internal and external attack, yes, internal and external attack..." After hearing the words of the political commissar, Liu Hua's eyes lit up and he said with excitement...
"Commander, have you come up with any good ideas... Come on, tell me how we can break through the iron wall prepared by the little devil..." Hearing some changes in Liu Hua's tone, the political commissar
Luo Ronghuan immediately asked with expectation, hoping to know the specific answer...
"Political Commissar, speaking of which, what you just said reminded me. The method I just came up with can be summed up in four words, which is to attack from both inside and outside with minimal casualties and in the shortest time. The Japanese army has not yet reacted.
Before, we opened a breach and successfully brought the troops into the little devil's belly. Then, we started to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace... disturbing the rear of the little devil's Kwantung Army..." Liu Hua answered confidently.
"But, Commander, according to our intelligence, we know that the Anti-Japanese Alliance is still in the mountains nearly a thousand kilometers away from the defense line. Without the cooperation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, how can we carry out internal and external pincer attacks?" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked in confusion.
…
"Haha, if we don't have troops, we will send our own troops... Although the little devil's iron wall can block our main force, he can't stop our small troops from crossing everywhere..." Liu Hua said with a smile on his face.
….
"I understand. Let's send out a group of small-scale elite combat troops in advance, pass through the Japs' defense line, and follow behind the copper and iron walls laid out by the Japs. At that time, we will cooperate with the main force to break through the enemy's copper and iron walls...
.This method will definitely work... Commander, I think the special operations brigade is the most suitable force to penetrate. If there is a special operations brigade to cooperate with the internal and external attacks and break through the enemy's defense line, there will be absolutely no problem...
"The political commissar Luo Ronghuan suddenly understood and said with a smile on his face...
"Political Commissar, since we have decided to send a force to infiltrate the three northeastern provinces in advance as our advance detachment to enter the three northeastern provinces. What I mean is that we will have a big game with the little devils..." At this moment, Liu Hua suddenly
I thought that in a few months, General Yang Jingyu, the supreme commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, would die under the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army... As Liu Hua from a later generation, of course he wanted to change this period of history and save Yang Jingyu, the famous anti-Japanese general.
General. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Hua's lips, and then he answered confidently...
"Commander, what do you mean..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with a trace of doubt on his face again...
"It's very simple. What I mean is, based on the special operations brigade, allocate troops from the entire army to form a unified mixed force. By then, at least each main regiment will be able to allocate one company of troops. Let's get familiar with it first.
The environment and terrain of the three northeastern provinces... Our mixed detachment, also known as the advance detachment, only carries various light weapons and quietly enters the three northeastern provinces through the gaps in the enemy's defense... Then, all the way north, first fight with the Anti-Japanese Alliance
Conduct a meeting. Then, with the cooperation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, a channel was opened in the belly of the little devil to welcome the main force into the three eastern provinces..." Under the puzzled eyes of the political commissar, Commander Liu Hua pointed at the people in front of him.
Map, brief introduction.
"Commander, if according to your idea, after the formation of this advance detachment, its total strength will reach a full 10,000 people... It seems that the action of the anti-Japanese advance detachment is a crucial action. The anti-Japanese advance detachment
If the detachment succeeds, the entire strategic plan to enter the three eastern provinces will be successful. If the advance team fails, the entire plan will immediately face a very bad situation..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, who fully understood, said with a surprised look on his face...
"It is precisely because the actions of the advance detachment are related to the overall plan of the entire plan. Therefore, I decided that I would personally lead the advance detachment, as the vanguard of the entire army, first advance into the three eastern provinces and contact the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Then, with the cooperation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance,
, open a safe passage for the main force..." Liu Hua replied firmly...
"No, absolutely not. Commander, since ancient times, have you ever heard of a general who serves as the commander of a forward force? Commander, you are the backbone of our entire Northeast Field Army, so this matter
, I firmly object. Even if you lead the attack, it will be me, the political commissar, who leads the team, and it is not your turn..." Regarding Liu Hua's proposal, Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar as his old partner, showed no mercy and firmly opposed it...
"Political Commissar, please don't object in a hurry. It won't be too late for you to express your opinion after I finish all my reasons. The reason why I have this idea is as follows. First of all, you just said
I also said that the actions of the advance detachment are related to the overall strategy and are very important. If I don't go, I won't be relieved..." Seeing the political commissar slowly sinking into thought, Liu Hua continued his analysis.
road…
"The second one is the security issue you just mentioned. The total strength of the entire advance detachment will reach nearly ten thousand people. What's more important is that by my side, there is also the elite force of the Special Operations Brigade. By then, even if
If any accident happens, the special operations team will be by your side...so you don't have to worry about this issue at all..."
"The third reason is that the total strength of the entire advance detachment has reached nearly 10,000 people. In addition, the soldiers of the entire detachment come from various units... The top commander of such a unit must be at the column level in our field army.
However, among the more than a dozen senior commanders at the column level in our Northeast Field Army, except for me, the rest have basically never experienced independent command of battles. In such a situation,
Do you think I can rest assured and hand over the advance detachment to their hands?" Under the thoughtful expression of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, Liu Hua finally asked...
"Commander, I have to say that every opinion you made is very sufficient. In my heart, I have already agreed with your request. However, what I want to say is that this matter is not just for the two of us.
It can be solved. We must report it to the Chairman, and the Chairman and the Central Military Commission will make a decision. At that time, as long as Chairman Mao agrees to your request, I, as a political commissar, will have absolutely no opinions and unconditional support.
You..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said...
"Thank you for your support, political commissar. I believe that the Central Military Commission will definitely agree to this request..." After receiving the affirmation from political commissar Luo Ronghuan, Liu Hua's face immediately showed a look of meaningful information. Then, he replied with confidence...
