Chapter 193: Remedy
Liu Changshun was extremely stubborn, and Wang Minggui and Yang Jicai were helpless... 〗w0.--This guy was too stubborn in seeking stability. When he was fighting in the right flag of Sunit, the two of them had seen it. They all knew that he was used to playing steadily and it was difficult for him to take any risks.
Now, as the political commissar of the Western Front Cluster, Ouyang Jishan, because Commander Chen was a little worried when he left, the two of them closed the door and had a conversation that they didn't know what was going on, and then rushed to the 17th Division to supervise the battle himself. The political commissar was not there, but they had no choice but to the stubborn commander.
Moreover, the current situation is not the case, even if the political commissar is not present, even if the political commissar is still here. According to the provisions of the political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, the political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces shall not interfere with the combat command of the military chief officer without orders from superiors, there is no way to deal with Liu Changshun. If Liu Changshun does not even send a regiment, it is a complete disobeying the orders of superiors. As the political commissar Ouyang Jishan has the right to change and even directly revoke his decision.
However, Liu Changshun has sent a reinforcement team now. Although he is obviously dealing with the errands, Ouyang Jishan has no choice but to do anything to him. In other words, if he has the right to revoke Liu Changshun's decision, only Chen Hanzhang will rush back in person or send someone from the headquarters to revoke his decision as the acting commander.
Before leaving the headquarters, Wang Minggui pulled Yang Jicai's hand to send him off, saying, "Commander Liu is doing this to 'get' the headquarters, and it is to delay major events. The situation of the war changes rapidly. According to his approach, he will make up his mind to make up his mind when all the problems are clear. With No. 1's temper, he may not be replaced soon."
"But his personal honor and disgrace are trivial matters, but the battle situation is really undesirable, and Commander Chen cannot delay it. Commander Chen's three detours will not have an absolute advantage in military strength, especially in the direction of Datong, maybe they will face the entire First Army."
"You are the third most important combat staff in the entire army, and you have many ideas. We can't persuade him, so we think of ways in other aspects. In this way, after I arrived at the 17th Division, I immediately "draw" the best regiment. I came forward to find the commander inappropriate way. I will go to the political commissar and let him talk to the commander, and you will be the commander."
"After you bring your troops in place, you must open up the Japanese defense line on the front line of Kangbao as soon as possible. At least you must tightly entangle this "mixed" into the Ninth Brigade to lay the foundation for the next implementation of the headquarters' plan. These things are the only things you and I can do now, and they can also be regarded as a kind of repairing the sheep."
"I hope the Japanese army's reaction speed will not be so fast. Before the headquarters replaced our too rigid Commander Liu, the Japanese army had not yet taken Mu Changqiu's detour troops. But in this way, the burden on you will be a bit too heavy.
"Kangbao is the junction of the two major units in the entire Western Front War. For the Japanese army, the strategic position there is extremely important. At present, there is also a complete infantry 163rd Regiment in the hands of the 110th Division, which is located on the Huade line and did not participate in the war."
"If you attack Kangbao, whether it is to maintain the integrated "sex" of the defense line or to ensure the safety of your flanks, the 110th Division will have to carry out rescue. No need to do more, even if only one infantry brigade comes, it will be a considerable threat to your flanks. If the Japanese army is more courageous, it may even surround you."
"A infantry regiment, even if it is a strengthened regiment, faces three infantry brigades of the Japanese army, and a corps that may participate in the battle at any time, even if it can fight, this disadvantage is too obvious. I really don't know what our Commander Liu is thinking in his mind."
"The 69th Division of the Japanese reinforcements was blocked by Yi Liangpin in Jining. Once Commander Chen successfully detoured, as long as they defended Datong and Jining, they blocked the passage of the first Japanese army in Shanxi to north for reinforcements. With the cooperation of the internal teams in Shanxi, the Japanese army would have no place to find reinforcements in a short period of time."
"We can now fully grind the 110 Division against them little by little. As long as we restrain them, we can ensure the progress of the battle to encircle and annihilate the 26th Division. Now we are "drawing" a division, and even a tank battalion, and there is no problem in turning to Kangbao."
"And even if there is no order from the superior, Kang Bao must take it after completing the division of the 26th Division and the 110th Division. Before leaving, Commander Chen once repeatedly reminded him that Kang Bao must take it as soon as possible. But in such an important direction, facing such a huge enemy army, he only sent a reinforcement regiment."
"He was too determined and always wanted to eat with food. He didn't think about whether Commander Chen could not get a large number of reinforcements in a short period of time, how long could he last if he faced the entire Japanese First Army? Once Commander Chen collapsed, the entire Suinan battlefield would fall into a dangerous situation."
"The great situation we created before will also be destroyed. The battle situation in Suinan is now a sway that will affect the whole body. However, he is still blindly seeking stability here and dare not take a step easily. Can't he really see the importance of the battle situation in Suinan?"
Wang Minggui, who knew that he could not change Liu Changshun's mind at the moment, patted Yang Jicai on the shoulder and sighed, turned around and rushed to the command post in Zhengxiang Baiqi. Yang Jicai looked at the back of the jeep and was stunned for a long time before turning back to the headquarters.
Yang Jicai knew Wang Minggui's feelings very well. However, his identity and status made him unwilling to make any comments on Wang Minggui's words. Both of them were their own leaders, and as subordinates, they could not make any comments even if they were in "private".
As for what Liu Changshun was thinking, Yang Jicai was actually very clear. In a word, this Commander Liu's current performance may be because he had been fighting in an unimportant position before and was now transferred to the most critical front, but his mentality has not been adjusted at any time.
In my heart, I took my current position too seriously, which led to my mentality being a little too worried about gains and losses. How can I let go of my hands and feet if my mentality is not adjusted properly? The battle of Sunit's right flag is already very superficial. Commander Liu's mentality is very bad. After taking over Chen Hanzhang's command, he did not adjust immediately.
Instead, it was even more restricted. In the entire deployment, he just followed Chen Hanzhang's steps and plans, and did not dare to step beyond the line. He basically had no plan. Moreover, the combat plan left by Chen Hanzhang was more stable when implementing it.
Under this mentality, he didn't even want to make small steps and quickly run, but just kept on steadily, for fear that once he took the risk, he would suffer serious losses that were meaningless in his eyes. In this situation, what else could Yang Jicai say? His mentality could not be adjusted, and no matter how others persuaded him, it would be useless.
Without this order from the headquarters, before he was eliminated, he would not even release the strength of a strengthening regiment except for sending a small amount of troops to Kang Bao as a warning. Because Commander Liu believed that first solving the 26th Division, which has been destroyed, was the basis for the next continuous offensive.
Before this was realized, nothing else mattered. He looked at whether the attacking troops' rear route was safe. Even if the remnants of the 26th Division had to hold on to it at present, he had no power to launch a counterattack and cut off the rear route of the troops that were developing in depth, he was unwilling to take any risks.
With this mentality, who can persuade him? Not to mention Chief of Staff Wang Minggui, even if the political commissar came back from the 17th Division, it would be difficult to shake his thoughts. It was precisely because he had a very thorough understanding of Liu Changshun's inner thoughts that Yang Jicai said nothing.
The most fundamental thing he knew was that it was useless to say it, but would cause trouble instead. Because he didn't want people to think that some of his unintentional words were to sow discord among the No. 1 and No. 2 military leaders on the Western Front and create disagreements between the two leaders. He didn't want to cause any trouble to his elder brother.
Moreover, although Yang Jicai has not been following Commander Liu for a long time, he has already keenly expressed his sense of command and combat style. The commander Liu's command and combat style are more suitable for defense. He is not suitable for fighting such a big attack and battle. He is meticulous and very suitable for describing Commander Liu.
This mentality and ability will not have any big problems in defensive battles. As long as there is no retreat order issued by superiors, he will definitely fight to the last soldier and will not retreat half a step. However, in offensive operations with high ability to grasp the fighter, he is a little too embarrassed.
Compared to Yang Jicai, who had a complicated mentality after listening to Wang Minggui's words, Wang Minggui, who rushed to the 17th Division, did what he said. After he arrived at the command post where he was encircling and annihilated the 26th Division, he immediately "drawed" one of the two divisions participating in the battle to draw out the strongest infantry regiment.
Two complete established companies were "drawn" from other troops, and the casualties of this regiment were supplemented in the battle, allowing the regiment to be fully filled. The firepower configuration of the entire regiment was also adjusted to a certain extent. A flamethrower platoon was allocated for this regiment from the chemical defense company of the 17th Division.
As for the additional forces required to form a strengthening regiment, he did not "draw" ordinary infantry. Instead, he "draw" one of the best reconnaissance companies from the two divisions fighting in Zhengxiang Baiqi. Among the reconnaissance companies of the six infantry regiments, he "draw" one platoon was transferred to form two companies to strengthen them into this regiment-level detachment.
In addition to "drawing" one company of the 76mm cannon and one company of the 107 rocket launcher in accordance with Liu Changshun's requirements, and also "drawing" one of the 120mm heavy mortar company, the recoil-free gun company, and one of the 100mm howitzer company, and strengthening it into this detachment.
The shells were equipped according to two bases. The air-ground contact password was also given, and an air-ground contact radio station was also "handled" to the regiment. At the same time, two division-owned automobile battalions were used to transfer the troops to Ciying Temple in the shortest time, and he personally selected the offensive starting position.
At the same time, as the chief of staff of the entire Western Front Cluster, Wang Minggui knew the situation well and knew that Kang Bao was a tough guy. In order to increase the firepower of the participating troops as much as possible, he personally asked the commander of the Western Front Air Force and personally communicated about the air support required by Yang Jicai when the Kang Bao battle was about to start.
As for the matter of "handing over" this army to Yang Jicai, there was no need to talk much. Although Liu Changshun was reluctant to transfer Yang Jicai, the combat director he used very easily, at this time, he came forward with the political commissar Ouyang Jishan, and Liu Changshun didn't say anything, so he nodded and agreed.
The tense situation of the battle made Yang Jicai, who knew that he was very involved in this battle, dared not delay the slightest after receiving the order. With the collected information, he immediately took the car from Ganzhu Temple, the command center, to the Ciying Temple, to join the troops who were also rushing there.--15469d80ok0 wave18405583-->
