Chapter 424: The Nth Gannan Conference (Part )
Shocked, so shocked!
This is a casualty ratio of one to twenty!
At this moment, even Political Commissar Mo couldn't believe his ears.
Our Eighth Route Army is so powerful, how come we didn’t hear any news about it before?
Song Wenwan: "Although I took part in this battle, the New 1st Regiment did show strong fighting power.
There is another detail in this battle that you don't know.
The New 1st Regiment protected the headquarters hospital at the cost of sacrificing six people.
The Yamazaki Battalion was wiped out, along with two Japanese squads of soldiers responsible for flank security.
This is real achievement, and the commendation order has been issued secretly.
The head of the headquarters even gave that company the glorious title of the 7th Steel Company.
This battle revealed something very interesting.
Our troops are already very capable, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
So, our deputy commander-in-chief is already very confident.
We can make a big move before this year's autumn harvest.
It can reinforce the national army's front battlefield and also distract the Japanese's attention.
It also ensures that the autumn harvest work in the base area can be completed smoothly.
At the same time, if conditions permit.
You can try to fight some annihilation battles and offensive battles.
The Japanese island is just a tiny place, and they are short of supplies, especially war supplies.
The invasion of China is mainly aimed at our country's minerals and arable land.
Once they discover this, they will not be able to quickly end the war in China.
Nor can they occupy our country’s land and various resources for a long time.
Since China has no oil, they will definitely turn their attention to countries outside of China.
The first way we will fight in the future is to squeeze.
Push the Japanese in Shanxi from the countryside to the cities, and then push them out of Shanxi from the cities.
This is a long-term fighting method. We don't seek to kill him with one hammer.
As long as we make the little Japanese feel pain and suffocation, that will be enough.
Maybe we won’t be able to wait until that time, and we won’t need to do anything ourselves, because the Japanese will not be able to hold on.
We have to slowly move from west to east, pushing the Japanese little devils little by little towards the coastal provinces.
Then find a breakthrough and divide up all their territories.
Let the Japanese troops fight on their own, without being able to take care of each other.
If they are luckier, they may have a chance to be driven into the sea by us.
If these Japanese soldiers don't know how to behave, I don't mind sacrificing them all to the sea."
Cheng Songyuan said: "Commander Xiao Song's behavior is very resolute.
But if the great powers intervene, we will be unable to do so when we are in the process of rebuilding our country.”
Looking at Cheng Songyuan's bright eyes, Song Wenwan knew.
This was a test for the former Chief of the Military Affairs Department of the Temporary Capital.
Song Wenwan said: "This world is in chaos, and there are signs that a war is about to break out.
This is the best opportunity for our motherland to rise.
Those great powers have to defeat Japan first before they can attack us.
When that day comes, it may still be unclear who will be the superpower! "
Cheng Songyuan nodded with satisfaction. This Officer Song was indeed not a simple person.
Song Wenwan added: "As for the second point, fighting a war should be realistic.
You said there's nothing to worry about, so why take any prisoners? It would be better to just kill them if they don't surrender.
The cost of capturing a Japanese soldier is too high now. It often requires the sacrifice of two or three soldiers. It is not worth it.
Therefore, in future battles, we should fight more annihilation battles and try our best to eliminate the Japanese army's manpower.
This matter is of great importance, so I will report it alone to northern Shaanxi.
This bad guy is gone, let me be the one, as for how history books will evaluate me..."
Ren Jiuge laughed and said, "Old Song, you are the only one who wants to be included in the history books? You really know how to flatter yourself."
Political Commissar Mo gave Zhu Bei a look, and Zhu Bei immediately understood.
She looked at her husband with admiration on her face.
Then he quietly tore off the last page of the meeting minutes.
But she was still worried, so she secretly put the paper into her mouth.
He chewed it again, took a sip of tea, and swallowed it.
Song Wenwan saw it all clearly from the main seat, but she could only hold back her laughter and dared not look at her.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Guan Zhan, when you return to Jiangnan, get the five divisions in Jiangnan moving.
Launch an attack on the Japanese from the flank to tie up Japanese troops and reduce the pressure on the National Army.
We have just bombed Nagasaki in Japan. We thought that the Japanese would be able to take this opportunity to rise up, but we didn't expect that they are still so cowardly.
The traitor named Chen from Nanjing still has some popularity in the country.
In order to avoid spineless people in the national army from surrendering and defecting to the puppet government.
Lao Guan, since you are now in the National Army, you might as well fight hard.
Set an example for all aspects of the temporary capital.
Ninth brother, the day after tomorrow is your wedding day, you should get married in Gannan first, and protect your sister-in-law's pregnancy at the same time."
There was a loud "boom" and good-natured laughter broke out in the conference room.
Brother Ren Jiu was quite thick-skinned. He was not embarrassed at all, but just secretly glanced at Political Commissar Mo.
Seeing Political Commissar Mo also smiling there, Brother Ren Jiu finally felt relieved.
"I will fill the gap in Shanxi's second war zone this time."
Suo Wuxing: "Haha, now the commander of the Second War Zone will have another headache.
The four of us brothers took turns to cause trouble for him.
I don't know how he plotted against us behind the scenes.
By the way, Brother Song, you went to Shanxi, what work will Qin Haichuan and I do?"
Song Wenwan continued, "You two will accompany Political Commissar Mo and stay in Longshui.
Before the end of April 1941, we will provide military and political training to officers above the Gansu Corps level.
At the same time, Shaanxi Province appointed political commissars for them to study together.
Since we will be eating from the same pot in the future, it is better to build relationships early.
In particular, allowing the political commissars to get in touch with the Gansu Army's fighting methods earlier will also facilitate their future command of operations.
After all, what northern Shaanxi is good at is machine gun suppression and infantry charges.
As for the Gansu Army, artillery shells were used to bombard the battlefield and machine guns were used to crush the enemy, while the infantry was basically used to clean up the battlefield.
In northern Shaanxi, every shot was used to kill one enemy, but in Gansu, not even one shot was used.
You two are Commissar Mo's guards. If any of you refuse to obey or obey the instructions, you will be arrested."
Suo Wuxing and Qin Haichuan were not dissatisfied with being guards for others.
Instead, the two of them felt very happy, which meant that the day when they would change their red identities was getting closer and closer.
After hearing this, Political Commissar Mo nodded secretly. This was definitely a good starting point.
Although after the Gansu Army became "red", the troops would inevitably be divided into different corps and fronts.
Then he could lead more than 100,000 soldiers to fight a large-scale battle.
During the past two years in Gannan, he was not only doing military work, but also political and ideological work.
He had systematically studied how to conduct large-scale troop operations in the advanced class of the Gannan Military Academy.
Song Wenwan said: "Vice President Jing, our new plane will be here soon.
You must strengthen the training of your aviation forces. In half a year at most, it will be your time to show your skills.
And Zhou Weiguo, Sun Desheng, Hao Dadan, you should quickly report the work on hand to me.
We will start preparing for war in May and be ready to enter the Shanxi theater of operations at any time."
