Yang Fan is really very angry now. As a modern person, he knows very well what "the biggest enemy is himself" means!

The Hu Ben Army was officially established for only two or three years. Logically speaking, this should be a vibrant and energetic young team, a team that dares to fight, fight and criticizes themselves.

But there are people in the world, and human nature is always the most complex, and there are inevitably many problems such as human relationships, interests and entanglements.

If these problems are not handled properly, they will seriously affect the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army. Therefore, Yang Fan will take advantage of the situation today and sound the alarm for everyone. In the appropriate time, he will have to do another rectification campaign!

"The chief taught the most lesson! We are too thoughtful! We disappointed the chief!"

Seeing that Yang Fan was so angry, Yang Chengliang instantly understood that Yang Fan wanted to take real self-reflection, not as simple as going through the motions.

Yang Chengliang stood up with a flushed face and saluted Yang Fan respectfully and said: "General Secretary, the 4th Army suffered so many casualties this time. Although the main reason is that the army was short, insufficient training, and the psychological quality of the new recruits was not strong, this final battle did sound an alarm for us."

After a pause, Yang Chengliang continued: "First of all, our expansion speed is too fast, which has led to the quality of soldiers not keeping up with the needs of the war situation, especially in ideological and political work, we are still far from doing enough.

Regarding this, I think it is necessary to mention that the Red regime's army is so difficult, and the conditions of others are so difficult, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, weapons and equipment, soldiers' salaries and benefits, etc. are much worse than ours.

But no one is afraid of death when fighting, and has never heard of a escaping in front of the formation!

So sometimes I always wonder if our living conditions are too good, and will the officers and soldiers lose their fighting spirit because of this?

I think whether it is a newly formed army or a veteran army, we must further strengthen ideological and political work. The spirit of the army with faith and the army without faith is exactly the same!

Secondly, I want to say that our army does have a sense of pride and complacency at present, especially among commanders at all levels, which is mainly manifested in being too contemptuous of the enemy and not predicting the degree of difficulty,..."

"You three are all sitting down first!"

After Yang Chengliang finished speaking, Yang Fan nodded and said, "Very good. Today is not a celebration and commendation meeting, but a deep self-analysis and self-examination.

Everyone should have the courage to expose the scars and self-criticism. Even if it will be heart-wrenching, even if it will be bloody, then you must face it face it face and never avoid it."

Then Yang Fan said earnestly: "Getting victory in the Anti-Japanese War is just the first step of the Long March. The road we have to go is very long. I don't want anyone to lie on the credit book to sleep, and I don't want someone to fall behind halfway!

You must always remember that you must always keep your original aspiration at all times, always keep in mind the responsibilities and historical missions you shoulder, and must stand firm in the face of principles and major issues!

Under no circumstances should anyone form cliques, do not engage in corruption through the back door, and do not violate the law or discipline. Otherwise, don’t blame me, Mr. Yang for turning against me, ruthlessly!”

"Standard, I want to say a few words."

"Master, I want to review you!"

"Master, I was wrong!"

Yang Fan's heart-opening words suddenly woke up the complacent people, and they stood up with a solemn expression to speak actively.

Nearly two hours later, Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "What I want is this attitude and a practical style, rather than blind confidence and blind optimism, and there is no need for a peaceful illusion, because conflicts and struggles often promote unity and combat.

After you go back, you must strictly sort out and investigate the problems and bad phenomena summarized today, and form effective rectification plans.

I not only have to look at the results of everyone's subsequent rectification actions, but also go to various troops for random inspections from time to time!"

"yes!"

"Please rest assured, Chief!"

"We will definitely seriously reflect on ourselves and rectify!"

"I will never make similar mistakes again!"

Yang Chengliang and others took the orders one after another.

Yang Fan continued: "I will now announce the decision to handle it: Meng Wuan is responsible for leadership and demoted to deputy commander of the 4th Army of the Hu Ben Expedition, temporarily acting commander, and deduct half a year's salary.

Deputy Commander Meng Wu'an, do you have any objections to this decision to deal with it?"

Meng Wuan quickly stood up and saluted Yang Fan and said, "I have no objection. Thank you very much for giving me a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service! In the future, I will definitely lead the army by example. If similar problems arise again, I will be willing to be dealt with by military law!"

"Very good! Sit down!"

Yang Fan continued: "

This time we fought an unprecedented victory, which gave the Japanese invaders an extremely heavy blow, but at the same time we exposed our true strength, so the Japanese would either give up attacking Myanmar temporarily, or would soon form a stronger Myanmar dispatched army.

So I decided that the Myanmar War Zone should further accelerate the expansion and reorganize the general army of 10 armies of 500,000 troops in the shortest time to cope with the more severe war situation in the future.

For this reason, I will draw 20,000 core forces from Shandong to Myanmar as soon as possible, expand to the newly formed army and unit to form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible..."

Yang Fan has been thinking about this issue for a long time. Since Myanmar has become the primary target of attack by the Japanese, he simply shifted his strategic focus.

This can avoid placing the main battlefield on the Shandong Peninsula, greatly reducing the damage to the war to China, and allowing the industrialization process of Shandong Peninsula to move forward quickly without interruption.

At the same time, as long as the 16 million indigenous population resources in Myanmar are absorbed well, not only can hundreds of thousands of elite troops be organized from them for use in war, but also can create a large amount of wealth to supplement the loss of war.

Therefore, Myanmar, a frontier base in the War of Resistance Against Japan, is very important and cannot be missed. If you defend Myanmar, you can not only form a joint force in the War of Resistance with the National Government, but also allow the northern Myanmar industrial base to continuously transfusion blood to the domestic battlefield.

Finally, Yang Fan made a move in Myanmar, and there was another deeper consideration, that is, be prepared for any eventuality.

Due to the butterfly effect, the situation on the battlefield in North Africa is very critical and is very likely to collapse completely.

At that time, the Myanmar industrial zone can provide back to the British and American allies to provide military supplies, and may even be forced to join the troops to participate in the military war against Germany, so as not to meet with Germany and Japan to pose a greater threat to China!

As for the domestic battlefield, we have to be vulgar for a while. Yang Fan really has no ability to compete with Japan on both sides.

Moreover, the Japanese deployed nearly one million Japanese and puppet coalition forces around the Shandong Peninsula, built a large number of military fortresses and numerous defense lines. The price to pay for breaking through the front of the Shandong Peninsula is too high.
