Zhang Xueliang was born and raised in the Northeast, and his understanding of the Northeast was deep in his bones. He couldn't help but frown 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 border?"
Xie Tian nodded: "This is the plan. Divide and annihilate them. First divide the Kwantung Army into two parts, the north and the south. Depending on the situation, you can choose to attack the Liaodong Peninsula and North Korea first or attack Jilin, Heilongjiang and Chahar first."
Zhang Xueliang frowned and said: "Basically everything from Shenyang to Dandong is mountainous. If you want to completely block and defend such a large area, it will be very difficult to face the Japanese troops from both the north and the south at the same time. Moreover, the Japanese army is attacking North Korea. They have been under complete control for 34 years, and they can organize at least two legions of troops in North Korea. Coupled with the Japanese army in the Liaodong Peninsula, I think the commander-in-chief’s strategic plan will be difficult to realize.”
Counting from the signing of the merger treaty between Japan and North Korea in 1910, North Korea has been regarded as Japan's territory. If we count from the earlier Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan has controlled North Korea for fifty years. A large number of North Korean young people have already I began to think of myself as Japanese.
Japanese Koreans, this is another sad history of colonization and aggression.
Having the same experience is Wanwan, who has a special liking for eggs and pickled mustard.
Xie Tian listened quietly to Zhang Xueliang's words, pondered for a moment and said, "That's what I thought..."
Pang Yuan paused silently for a while, caught a break in their discussion and said with a wry smile: "I can't get involved in the war. Let's continue the discussion. I will take people to Peking in three to five days." return."
Xie Tian looked at Pang Yuan and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Pang."
Pang Yuan waved, shook hands with Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Gang and said goodbye. Zhao Gang saw Pang Yuan to the door.
From morning to night, Xie Tian and Zhang Xueliang were arguing around the sand table. The two of them directly performed military exercises on the sand table, rehearsing all possible details over and over again. They even talked about it while eating. Arguing.
Xie Tian is on the red side, representing the People's Liberation Army.
Zhang Xueliang is on the blue side, representing the Japanese army.
After several rounds of battles, the two men fought against each other on the sand table. Even if Xie Tian used the air force and armored forces and even cluster bombs and Red No. 1, they did not gain much of an upper hand.
Mountain warfare is different from plain warfare. Xie Tian's powerful weapons cannot play a decisive role in determining the outcome. On the contrary, Zhang Xueliang made full use of mountain warfare and jungle warfare, making Xie Tian very embarrassed to fight.
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 been heated again. Let's eat something and rest first."
Xie Tian hummed and placed his hands on the edge of the sand table, staring closely at the sand table without any intention of moving.
Zhang Xueliang looked at Xie Tian with a wry smile and said, "You're not hungry, but I am. I don't care about you. Just think about it slowly. 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 and said, "My wife just sent it here. She saw that you were busy and didn't take care of you."
Zhao Gang walked up to Xie Tian and said, "Commander-in-Chief, let's eat something first. If we change our minds, we might be able to figure out a way to deal with the Korean army."
Xie Tianlian looked at Zhao Gang for a moment: "What did you say?"
Zhao Gang didn't know what touched Xie Tian, so he repeated: "I want you to change your mind and eat something first. Madam just brought two bottles of wine here, but they are good wines."
Xie Tian laughed loudly and patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder: "Old Zhao, we have a way to liberate Northeast China."
As he spoke, Xie Tian strode to the coffee table: "Han Qing, I have a way to deal with your Korean army. Where is the wine? Hurry up and pour it for me. I will definitely convince you this time."
Zhang Xueliang smiled and unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and poured wine into the tea jars for the three of him. He looked at Xie Tian who was sitting down and said with a smile: "I want to see how you can convince me."
Xie Tian picked up the teapot and took a big sip. He looked at Zhang Xueliang with a smile and said: "The line from Shenyang to Dandong is all mountainous. In these deductions, you relied on 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 farmland in North Korea. The Koreans have been familiar with the mountains since they were young. In mountain warfare, one of their soldiers can at least be as strong as four or five of our soldiers, and the aircraft and tank cluster bombs you have in your hands are Red No. 1 will be greatly reduced in mountain operations, especially in tunnel battles, and its role will be minimal. A company of Korean soldiers may be able to contain a regiment of our soldiers."
Xie Tian laughed: "You are right, I admit it. Our People's Liberation Army is also the ancestor of tunnel warfare. However, after our army gradually promoted mechanization, tunnel warfare was fought less. The main reason is that tunnel warfare is time-consuming and time-consuming. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, choosing to fight tunnel battles is one of the most effective tactics, but now our People's Liberation Army as a whole is already several times stronger than the enemy, so we are too lazy to fight the enemy in tunnel battles."
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Now that the situation between us and the enemy has reversed, the Japanese can now use the favorable terrain of the mountains to fight us in tunnels. Therefore, I suggest that our first strategic goal is to capture the central city, give full play to our strengths, and win We will go down to important towns such as Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, and Mudanjiang, and radiate out from the city center to the surrounding areas, gradually expanding our liberated areas."
The big city combat concept is the best combat strategy when the troops are stronger than the enemy, and it is also the most reliable combat strategy.
The concept of rural encirclement of cities put forward by Mao in Yan'an was fundamentally because the overall strength of the army was too different from that of the Japanese army and was not suitable for launching large-scale group operations. Therefore, such an encroaching combat strategy was formulated to encircle cities from rural areas, strategically and tactically. Xanadu will have a larger combat space.
Chu Yunfei commented on Li Yunlong, "Aren't you guys from the Eighth Route Army the best at this? If you can beat him, then fight. If you can't beat him, then run away."
This is not pleasant to hear, but it points out the central idea of the strategy of encircling cities from rural areas.
As for the later "Protracted War", this strategy was carried forward and expressed directly in words: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we harass...
Xie Tian laughed and waved his hand at Zhang Xueliang: "It's safe to play it safe that way, but it won't be clean, so you have to eat like this."
As he spoke, Xie Tian picked up a steamed bun, opened it, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it inside, and took a big bite.
It clicked because the buns were burnt on the stove.
