Chapter 1399 Logistics support
Hearing everyone's doubts, Zhong Yi frowned.
It seems that the idea of passive defense not only exists in large quantities in the national army, but also in local areas, or in other words, the Kuomintang officials of this era generally have this kind of thinking.
What kind of thinking is this? It is the thinking of the weak.
From their subconscious mind, they position themselves as weak and put themselves in the position of being passively beaten. Because I am weak, I will definitely not be able to beat you, so I can only defend myself and wait for you to come and fight. I can avoid being beaten to death by you. It is already good to be beaten by you, and it is worth bragging.
The Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Xinkou, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Wuhan, and even the later Battle of Henan, Xiang and Guizhou are all full of this thinking. The highest commanders responsible for commanding all battles, whether it is Chang Kaishen, Tang Shengzhi, Li Guangxi, Yan Laoxi and even Xue Yue, are basically all of them.
Relatively speaking, Xue Yue's offensive awareness is slightly stronger, but he is only a counterattack at the tactical level, and he is still passive in defense at the strategic level, and he never thought about turning to defense to offense at all.
The specific manifestation is that when the Japanese army was weak in attack, the two sides were in a stalemate, the Kuomintang basically had no counterattack plan, and could only miss a counterattack, turn defense into offense, turn defeat into victory, and even take advantage of the victory to pursue, expand the great opportunity for victory.
However, it should be noted that Xue Yue made rapid progress in the three battles of Changsha. In the last battle of Changsha, he already had a very strong sense of counterattack and made plans for counterattack in advance, so he dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. Although the number of casualties recorded in the war history of the two sides was very different, the undeniable fact is that in the third battle of Changsha, the Japanese army suffered a decisive failure!
In contrast, the Eighth Route Army has a very strong attack awareness.
Even if the weapons and equipment are backward, even if they know they are defeated, the Eighth Route Army often dares to attack the enemy. It is precisely because of this spirit of daring to take the initiative to attack that helped the Eighth Route Army gain a foothold in the vast battlefield behind enemy lines and grow and grow. During the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, it not only did not be eaten by the Japanese, but instead grew from 50,000 to nearly 900,000!
Only then did Zhong Yi realize that if this weak thinking is not eradicated first, it will lead to serious consequences.
Fortunately, the nine divisions of the 41st Army were all his old troops, and this kind of thinking was never present. The nine divisions of the 10th Army also had the spirit of proactive attack.
So there is no problem with the military, and the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone has been fully prepared.
However, at the local government level, the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone was completely unprepared.
If the local government is not prepared, it means that the logistics support of the combat troops cannot be fully guaranteed, especially when the army changes from defense to offense, there will be serious disconnection in logistics support!
Once the logistics support is disconnected, the counterattack becomes a castle in the air!
The reason why the first Zhejiang-Fu battle was won in the end was closely related to the fact that the Yinjiang Minfu team was not afraid of sacrifice and supported the front line at all costs.
Conservatively estimated that at least thousands of Yinjiang residents were exhausted!
I am so tired, I am so tired on the mountain road in front of me!
But this time, we can no longer drive Yin ***'s team to death.
The second Zhejiang-Fujian Battle was larger in scale, with more troops participating in the war, and the logistics support pressure was greater. In turn, the Yinjiang Minfu Team's transmission capacity was weaker and smaller, because the people's power was always exhausted!
You can’t just rely on the people of Yinjiang to make sacrifices!
Zhong Yi asked Huang Shaohong: "Chairman Huang, have all the civil servant teams in western Zhejiang counties formed?"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief Zhong, they have all been formed." Huang Shaohong said, "Dozens of counties have formed civilian teams."
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "How many people are there in each county's civil servant team? How much transportation capacity is there? How many participating troops can they guarantee the logistics support? Which county's civil servant team is responsible for supporting which division has been designated? Is the liaison work between the two sides ready to connect? Also, how many tons of materials are hoarded in each county? If the troops suddenly retreat, can the civil servant team ensure that the materials are transported away in time?"
"How many have the medical team and stretcher team formed?"
"Can you guarantee that all the injured will be transported down?"
"How is the docking work between the medical team and the stretcher team doing? "
"If there are a large number of casualties, can more stretcher teams be formed in time to transport the injured?"
"The medical venue must be moved with the army. Have you prepared the venue in all counties in western Zhejiang in advance?"
"The most important thing is that when the troops counterattack, the transportation team, medical team, etc. must follow up. Sometimes the troops will march for more than 100 miles in one night. Can the civilian team keep up? Can the organizational work be guaranteed? Are the organizational work of all logistics support departments complete?"
Huang Shaohong was dumbfounded, and he couldn't answer any of Zhong Yi's questions.
In other words, Huang Shaohong's subconscious mind never thought about these problems.
Is war not the military's business? What is logistics support and medical rescue also the business of your army? Don't you have a logistics force and a medical rescue team? What does it have to do with our local government?
The greatest responsibility of our local government is to protect the country and safeguard the people and then collect taxes, provide your army with enough rations and provide the National Government with sufficient taxes. Of course, because the current situation is too difficult, it is impossible to pay the full amount of taxes, and the rations can only be given a small part.
Looking at Huang Shaohong's expression, Zhong Yi knew that these tasks were not done well at all.
Yu Liangzhen was worried that Zhong Yi would get angry on the spot, so he quickly said, "Don't worry Ziren, the war has just begun, and the Japanese will not advance to western Zhejiang at once. We have enough time to prepare."
"The chief is right, there is still time." Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But what I want to emphasize is that fighting is not just a matter of the army, but also requires the unremitting support of local governments. Without strong logistical support, the combat effectiveness of the army will not be guaranteed, and winning a battle will become a castle in the air!"
Yu Liangzhen nodded and said, "Zi Ren, what do you think we should do?"
"I have already said the specific measures." Zhong Yi said, "Just do as you do."
"Okay, I will take charge of this matter myself." Yu Liangzhen said decisively, "I announce that the Logistics Support General Command of the Second Zhejiang-Fujian Battle will be established from now on, and I will personally serve as the commander-in-chief." After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Huang Shaohong and said, "Chairman Huang serves as the deputy commander-in-chief!"
Huang Shaohong raised his head and met Yu Liangzhen's gaze.
From Yu Liangzhen's eyes, Huang Shaohong felt murderous intent.
If he refuses at this time, Yu Liangzhen really dares to kill someone, even if he is the provincial chairman!
