young marshal spring and autumn

Jiang Baili used his unique research on Japanese military history, taking the Russo-Japanese War and Nogi Nogi Nogi, the military god who was well-known to military officers as an example, to talk about the performance of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War:

"Military historians and strategists at home and abroad believe that the overall victory of the Japanese navy and army in the Russo-Japanese War marked the emergence of Japan as a powerful country. But one fact that needs to be paid attention to is that Japan's victory was actually a miserable victory.

Judging from the tactics of Nogi Nozomi, who was known as Japan's "Military God" after the war: Since late June 1904, he has 6 divisions, 3 reserve regiments, and 2 field artillery brigades with a total of 2 troops. With the absolute advantage of 5 cannons, it adopted an unprecedented "meat bomb suicide tactic" and launched three general attacks on the 6 Russian troops in Lushun, which lasted nearly a hundred days.The Japanese army ran wild, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Nogi used a sea of ​​people, tunneled, and attacked at night. He even organized 386 death squads with white cloths on their heads to charge. in the hands of the Russian army.In this regard, even Shan County, which strongly recommended Nogi, also advocated the removal of Nogi's post and investigated the cause of his failure.However, Emperor Meiji vetoed Yamagata's proposal in order to make the people and soldiers blindly obey the emperor's belief in the policy of ignoring the people and the army, and saved Nogi's defeat.

In fact, in this offensive and defensive battle, Nogi is an out-and-out foolish general and defeated general.While the battle was going on, many family members of Nogi's subordinates who died in the battle threw bricks and tiles at Nogi's house in Tokyo, calling him a 'murderer'.

After the Russo-Japanese War ended, on January 1906, 1, Nogi Nozomi left the bones of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers and the bodies of his two sons and returned home.On the way back to the country, Naimu shed tears against the wind on the boat, and wrote a poem saying: "The emperor's masters conquered the strong captives with millions of troops, and the city's corpses made mountains of field battles."I am ashamed of seeing my elders, how many people returned the triumphant song today. At the triumphant celebration organized by the emperor for Nogi, Nogi Noki's first sentence was: "I am the Nogi who killed my brother and my father!" 'People in the welcoming crowd wept bitterly, thinking of their loved ones who died in battle.When he returned to Emperor Meiji of Japan, he blamed the heavy price he paid for attacking Lushun, and was willing to apologize with his death. However, Emperor Meiji pardoned him again and gave him a level of merit. Supplementary Military Councilor.

The above is the lack of tactics and combat power of the Japanese army. Even if it is a strategic disadvantage, the strength of Japan and China is very obvious: the Japanese army is far away from the mainland, and logistical supplies are not easy.The mainstream of the new military is the so-called "total war", that is, the war has no distinction between the front and the rear, so the enemy's gun stores, warehouses, grain stations, stations, bases, outposts, police stations, etc. are all the targets of our attacks.The longer the Japanese front line, the weaker their ability to control the battlefield.

The young commander has a unique insight. He knows that the war between China and Japan is inevitable. He will deploy in the Northwest and North China in advance. With the development potential of the Feng family, in time, we will have more and more advantages in the Northeast. People are becoming more and more afraid to move lightly.

But defeating and expelling the Japanese did not depend solely on conscripting a strong force.In European countries, since the implementation of constitutional government, the country's organizational capabilities and political functions have become stronger and stronger. The number of active soldiers is based on [-]% of the population, and the annual military expenditure is based on one-third of the national expenditure.The so-called "accurate" is the degree of accuracy, otherwise it is called "militarism".The labor and lives of non-combatants in the rear may have heavier responsibilities and risks than soldiers on the front line, and the origin of all new equipment lies in the establishment of the new national economic law: "The need for war is still in the word "money".

The Northeast border was in contact with Japan's sphere of influence too much, which seriously weakened the Northeast Army's military advantage in the Northeast.Japan has spheres of influence in Kantung Prefecture, along the South-Manchuria Railway, on the Sino-North Korean border (Fengtian and Jilin Provinces), and behind Heilongjiang (Vladivostok and Khabarovsk in Russia, and Chifeng in East Siberia, Mongolia, and Rehe), and has stationed Army and police.These places are all well-connected and easy to infiltrate.The Feng army was on the defensive, passive everywhere, and consumed a lot of vitality.

For today's plan, we should use superior forces to guard the key points, so as to be able to defend what the Japanese army must attack.All armies must be able to take care of each other and communicate easily.With regard to Japan, we should be humble and seek development by achieving long-term stability. "

Jiang Baili eloquently taught a very instructive lesson to the new and old generals of the Northeast Army, and also gave some officers who feared the Japanese a shot in the arm.This is what Zhang Hanqing intended to say a long time ago. The purpose is to let the Fengjun generals under his command understand the gap between China and Japan, and also point out Japan's weaknesses in a targeted manner, so that the Fengjun military officers can understand how much is hidden in their hearts. This year's fear of the sun has weakened by one point.

Many people were not optimistic about Jiang before, and were puzzled by the young marshal's use of Jiang Baili in such a high-profile and high-profile way. Now they are also very convinced, and sincerely admire the young marshal's "knowledge of people".

Under Jiang Baili's suggestion, Zhang Zuolin reorganized the existing military deployment.The garrison outside the customs was unified and reorganized into the Northeast Frontier Army, with Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander, responsible for dealing with the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in Dalian, as well as guarding the borders of Jilin, Fengtian and North Korea. It has jurisdiction over the three eastern provinces and Xing'an River. reinforce.The headquarters was built in Yingkou, and under its jurisdiction were Jiang Dengxuan's 27th Division, Yu Zhen's 30th Division and Li Jinglin's 6th Division, a total of 3 divisions.

With Wu Jun promoted as the commander of the Northeast (Railway) Guard Army, under his jurisdiction are the 29th Division of Wan Chunlin, the 4th Division of Xing Shilian, and the 10th Division of Ma Longtan, a total of 3 divisions.The headquarters was established in Changchun.

With Sun Liechen as the commander of the North China Army, he unified the military and political affairs of the provinces in the pass, controlled the three provinces of Tianjin, Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, and dispatched Tang Yulin's 3th Division, Zhang Jinghui's 5th Division, and Ji Jinchun's 16th Division , a total of 28 divisions.

连同蒙古“安蒙军”特战旅及4个骑兵旅组成的第26师三万余兵马，至此东北军已拥有10个师30万人。张作霖此前所说并不为虚，此外尚不包含由张汉卿掌握的西北人民军建制中的4个师。

In order to avoid the dispatch of the garrison as an excuse for the Japanese side to send troops, Zhang Hanqing and Jiang Baili worked together to follow the example of later generations and set up an armed police force in Northeast China, referred to as the Armed Police Force.The Anhui Army that was sent down was used as part of the redundant troops after reorganization as the basis of the Armed Police Force, and the other provinces were recruited locally.The supreme head of the Armed Police Force is the commander, concurrently held by Zhang Zuoxiang.Armed police detachments were established in each province, with the head of the detachment captain and the rank of major general, with about ten thousand people under their jurisdiction.The armed police detachments are actually brigades without artillery. The advantage is that the security of various places will no longer depend on the army, which reduces the number of troops in name and makes it possible for troops to maneuver. On the other hand, it also eliminates democrats who criticize military interference in politics. Excuse.The red-striped checkered armed police uniform that Zhang Hanqing admired most in his previous life was also "designed" by him, which changed the image of the police "white bandit army" in the early Republic of China, and made Fengjun have a better impression in the hearts of the people of the Republic of China than other warlords.

Armed police brigades were established in various places and cities, with the head of the brigade captain and the rank of lieutenant colonel.Counties and banners set up squadrons, the head of which is the squadron leader, and the military rank is captain.After the Armed Police Force was included in the ranks of the People's Army, the provincial security headquarters were gradually abolished.

In order to strengthen the connection between the various departments of the army, Zhang Hanqing vigorously installed radio communication equipment, and at the end of the year, the radio station was installed at the division level.Telephone calls were also set up between the provincial departments and headquarters of the three provinces of Beijing, Tianjin, and Northeast China to strengthen communication.

In order to fully integrate the industrial economy with the national defense industry and complete industrial accumulation and military industry progress with the least amount of money, Zhang Hanqing imitated later generations to establish the "National Defense Science and Technology Industry Committee", referred to as the "National Defense Science and Technology Industry Committee". Support and scale production.
