Two days later, Texas, the former enemy headquarters of the national army.

Bai Chong, chief of the general staff, walked into the headquarters with high joy, and while the people were still at the door, he shouted: "General seat, double happiness is coming, the 43rd Group Army has already conquered Hejian, the Fourth Group Army has also successfully taken Baoding, and the first line of defense of the little devils has been broken." ”

Jiang Haoran suddenly got up and said, "Okay, well done, faster than I expected." ”

Bai Chongxi smiled: "Can you not be happy?" This time, Wei Lihuang was eager for revenge, and he personally went to the front to direct the battle, not to mention, I heard that the headquarters was about to be set up under the enemy's city wall. ”

Jiang Haoran said: "The general is not afraid of death and does not hesitate to die, Brother Junru (Wei Lihuang) is really worthy of being the general of the Five Tigers, he just suffered a big loss in the hands of the little devil, and he will take revenge when he turns back." ”

"Ziqian, at present, our army is marching fast, but the material consumption is also extremely fast, especially in Hanjihe, a large number of losses were lost by the little devils, and the logistics can't keep up, so do you think the attack is delayed?"

"Suspend the attack? No, no, no, this is the time when the morale of our army is like a rainbow, how can we stop, we should go to Beiping City in one go, as for logistics...... We have two railway guarantees, Pinghan and Jinpu, but in the areas far away from Dezhou and Shijiazhuang, the railways have been damaged by war, and the road transportation is too congested, but this is not a big problem, we can mobilize the masses, use people on their backs, use cattle to carry them, and use wheelbarrows to transport, 100,000 people are not enough, just 200,000, in short, we must ensure that the front-line soldiers cannot be interrupted. ”

Bai Chongxi gasped and said, "How much does it cost?" ”

"Spending money? Hahaha, don't spend a penny. Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, leave it to Zhou Gong and them, this is the time to reflect the advantages of cooperation." ”

After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Yan'an troops did not have sufficient transport vehicles, and all logistics relied on the common people with wheelbarrows, mules, horses, and donkeys. A pair of feet transported a large amount of supplies to the front line, and the well-equipped Chongqing troops, which were equipped with cars and trains, were all over the ground.

Of course, these are unimaginable for Bai Chongxi now, but Jiang Haoran is still clear, so he also dares to hand over this arduous task to Zhou Gong.

Seeing that Jiang Haoran was full of confidence, Bai Chongxi was skeptical, but he didn't say anything.

Since it has been decided to continue the offensive, it is necessary to come up with an offensive plan as soon as possible, which is the duty of he, the chief of staff.

The enemy has built a second line of defense between Dingxing, Bazhou, and Jinghai, and the current configuration of troops is unknown, but the preliminary estimate will not be less than one million troops.

The current front-line units of the national army include Wei Lihuang's Fourth Group Army, Lu Erniu's 43rd Group Army, Su Peng's Nanshan Independent Army, Yu Xuezhong's Third Group Army, Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army (Wang Linji's 30th Group Army and Li Mo'an's 32nd Group Army have been withdrawn to the rear for rest and recuperation because they are too badly damaged, so they are not among them, and the women's division is also on the way back), and there are four tank divisions, with more than one million troops casually, so if the enemy wants to ensure the stability of the second line of defense, It can't be less than the strength of the national army.

According to Bai Chongxi's idea, the Fourth Army continued to advance in the direction of Dingxing and mobilized the Third Army as the second echelon.

In the direction of Baxian, the 43rd Group Army was still the main attack, and the 11th Group Army was transferred over as the second echelon.

The rear of Jinghai County is Tianjin, which is the top priority of this campaign, and the Nanshan Independent Army is responsible for this important task, and the 11th Group Army is the second echelon.

Four tank divisions, Xu Junyao's second tank division, cooperated with the Fourth Army to attack Dingxing. Hu Xiqun's 4th Tank Division cooperated with the 43rd Group Army to attack Baxian. Black Tiger's 1st Tank Division and Yang Changshun's 3rd Tank Division cooperated with the Nanshan Independent Army to attack Jinghai.

All the troops lined up in a line, opened the way with tanks, and attacked the enemy's defense line on all fronts with heavy troops.

When Bai Chongxi handed over the battle plan to Jiang Haoran, Jiang Haoran immediately frowned and said, "Brother Jiansheng, is there a problem with this plan?" ”

"Ah...... What's the problem? ”

Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "Tianjin can't be used as the main direction of attack, our main direction of attack should be in Baxian." ”

"Ba County?" Bai Chongxi frowned, Tianjin is the most important gateway to Beiping, and it must also be a place for the enemy's heavy army to hoard, as long as Tianjin is still in the hands of the enemy, even if Dingxing and Baxian are all captured, the national army will not dare to advance rashly, after all, no one dares to expose their butts to the guns of a strong enemy.

Jiang Haoran smiled knowingly, obviously knowing what Bai Chongxi was thinking, and said: "Brother Jiansheng, the reason why Tianjin is not set as the main direction of attack is for three reasons, first, Tianjin is the enemy's key protection object is beyond doubt, once the war starts, it will inevitably be aircraft and artillery, and the whole city will be in ruins, although Tianjin's cultural heritage is far inferior to Beiping, but it is our second largest industrial and commercial city and the largest financial and commercial center in the north, once destroyed, it will be a big loss for us." Second, if we attack by force, even if it succeeds, the price we will pay will definitely not be small, after all, it is the Bohai Sea to the east, and the enemy's navy can provide strong firepower support at any time. As for the third...... We have shortcuts to take, and we can completely avoid their edge and attack them unprepared...... Mei Xiang, map of Tianjin. ”

Jiang Haoran shouted at the secretary's room as he spoke, and soon, Mei Xiang personally walked out with a map and spread it out on Jiang Haoran's desk.

"Brother Jiansheng, look at ......it," Jiang Haoran said, picked up a pencil, drew a straight line between Tianjin and Dingxing on the map, and said: "The enemy's entire defense line is more than 300 miles long, and there are two railways in Pinghan and Jinpu in the rear to provide them with logistical support, so we do not have an advantage in terms of troops, logistics, and geographical advantages. ”

Jiang Haoran waved his pencil as he spoke, and drew a line between Tianjin and Ba County, Tianjin and Langfang, and Langfang and Ba County, forming a standard triangle, and said: "The distance between these three places is almost between 100 and 120 miles, of which Tianjin to Langfang is 120 miles, and Baxian to Langfang is 100 miles. Because the Jinpu Line passes through Langfang, the material transfer station of the first two places is in Langfang, that is to say, as long as Langfang is occupied, the first two places are dead. ”
