On August 7, 1940, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Yanqing, with the cooperation of the 3rd Tank Division and the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade, launched an attack on the 2nd Integrated Division of the Suicha Military Region stationed in the Xuanhua area.

At the same time, the other line of Japanese troops, mainly the 35th Division, with the cooperation of the 6th Tank Wing, made a detour back to the Chicheng area east of Zhangjiakou, preparing to encircle Yang Chengwu's troops in the Zhangjiakou area.
The Chanan Military Sub-district was the main force in this confrontation against the Japanese army, and Yang Chengwu, commander of the military region, was also a veteran and had extremely rich experience in fighting against Japan. In addition, He Xiulin, the political commissar of the military region, is also an all-rounder, capable of writing and martial arts, so he is not particularly nervous about the Japanese army's attack on the Chanan Military Division.
After receiving the telegram from the front line, although Yang Chengwu looked calm on the surface, only He Xiulin knew how much pressure he had on him and how nervous his emotions were.
After all, this time was different from the past, the Japanese army alone in Xuanhua and Zhangjiakou reached three divisions, plus the puppet army that cooperated with the battle, its total strength reached a terrifying more than 10,000 people, or even more. However, the Chanan Military Sub-district can only use only one division plus eight garrison regiments, with a total strength of less than 40,000 troops, and there is a huge disparity between the two sides' strengths.
Moreover, it is close to the Pingjin area, and if the war does not go well, the Japanese army may come to reinforce at any time.
"Lao He, now that the devil's leading force is about to arrive in Xuanhua, let's hurry up and think of countermeasures?" Yang Chengwu stared at He Xiulin on the side.
He Xiulin frowned and thought for a while and said: "Lao Yang, if it is the **** infantry division alone, we are not afraid, although the **** 10th division is a few elite divisions in small Japan, but our troops are now vigorous, so we are not afraid of the little rabbit cub in Ueda at all." But that chariot division is not something we can shake now, if our two divisions meet this chariot third division in the field, they will be completely wiped out if they hold on for a day at most, and I think this battle is really impossible to fight! ”
Shi Wenhu, the commander of the Third Brigade, said: "This time the devil is powerful, and hard fighting is not the way, fortunately, Commander Ma has already arrived at the front line, I think it is better to let Commander Ma take the idea, after all, he is an expert in this kind of positional warfare of the large corps." ”
This is the voice of Yang Chengwu's guard Zhang Zhigang outside the door: "What person? ”
"Headquarters emergency!"
At this time, a newspaper operator ran in and said: "Report to the chief, the headquarters is in an emergency!" ”
"Read!" Yang Chengwu hurriedly said.
"Yang, He, Shi, Chen, and Zhang: I order your troops to block the Japanese army along the favorable terrain along the front line of Xuanhua, Shaziling, Dongwangshan, Sanchakou, Longguan, Xiamashan, Xiangtian, and Xingrenbao, and hereby allocate 12 mine experts, 3,000 heavy artillery bombs, and 200 heavy machine guns. At the same time, your unit must do a good job in the transfer of the masses of the people, do a good job in clearing the walls of the army and the people, and your unit should try to kill and injure the living forces of the Japanese puppet army when the devils arrive in Zhangjiakou City, and you can authorize your unit to abandon Zhangjiakou if necessary. HQ Horse! August 7th"
What the telegram said was very clear, that is, Ma Zheng authorized Yang Chengwu and others to abandon Zhangjiakou when necessary, and did not have to defend this important provincial capital.
"Commander, what do you mean by that? Zhangjiakou is the capital city of Chahar, how can you say that you will discard it? Shi Wenhu asked with some puzzlement.
However, He Xiulin saw the door at this time, so he said: "I think the commander must have a deep meaning in doing this, you see that the commander told us that these places are all terrain and difficult to attack, and they are also places that the Japanese army must pass through." The commander told us to defend it, but he didn't order us to defend it, so I think the commander is a living force that allows us to kill and injure a large number of enemies at all costs, even if we lose a heavy city like Zhangjiakou. ”
"Even the territory has been lost, even if it is a little devil who kills a lot of injuries, what's the use, don't we have to pay the same price to recover it when we counterattack?" Chen Zhiheng, political commissar of the Third Brigade, asked suspiciously.
Yang Chengwu also saw the true intention of this telegram at this time, and while admiring it, he also had to admire Ma Zheng, the commander, and said with a smile: "Don't you all quarrel, haven't you seen it yet?" Commander, this is a trap for the little devil! ”
"How to get off the set?"
Yang Chengwu said: "How many mountains and dangerous places do you want to have along the way from Beiping to Zhangjiakou, and how many dangerous places do you want to have from Zhangjiakou to Xinghe and to Zhangbei." How many troops will the devils lose all the way in this way, and there are no less than ten fortresses between Zhangjiakou and Xinghe, if the Japanese army dares to go, even if Xinghe County is finally taken, there will not be many of these 60,000 or 70,000 people left. ”
"And we are different, we are defending according to the danger, and the casualties are much smaller than the Japanese army, but the chariot division of the devil is a trouble, I don't know how the commander is going to deal with those Iron Kings!"
"Hehehe, Lao Yang, I see that the mine experts mentioned in the telegram of the head of the headquarters seem to have a deep meaning, maybe they are the secret weapon against the Japanese tanks." He Xiulin said with a smile.
"Mines can indeed deal with combat vehicles, but ordinary mines can't completely blow up combat vehicles at all, at most they can blow up the tracks of the combat vehicles, barely paralyzing that guy, as long as the devil puts on a spare track, he can start again, I think the commander's method may not work." Yang Chengwu said worriedly.
In contrast, Shi Wenhu had a blind admiration for Ma Zheng, and immediately said: "Commander, I believe in the vision of the head of the headquarters, let's think about it, when did Commander Ma Zheng go wrong." ”
He Xiulin smiled and said: "Let's not guess here, let's go and see what the head of the headquarters sent us. ”
"Hehehe, Lao He is right, it's better for us to go and see, let's take a walk!!" Yang Chengwu said with a smile.
In fact, Yang Chengwu and others guessed correctly, Ma Zheng did let them occupy favorable terrain and kill a large number of Japanese puppet troops, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place.
In the early days of the Liberation War, there were about 4.3 million troops of the people, and all of them were well-armed elites.
In the same period, the number of PLA was only about 1.3 million, and the armament was still millet plus rifles, not to mention that there were no planes and tanks, and there were not even a few artillery.
In the face of the all-out attack of the people, Yan'an's response was to let the Kuomintang troops attack, and the PLA would be defeated in every battle. However, in every battle, the Kuomintang troops fought very hard, losing an average of 7,000 men for each city they occupied, and although they occupied more than 70 cities controlled by the People's Liberation Army in half a year, they lost nearly 800,000 people.
In addition, the Kuomintang troops had to leave a part of the troops behind for each city they occupied, so it soon became clear that the Nationalist government had fewer and fewer troops to attack, and finally had to stop the attack. As a result, the all-out offensive plan formulated by the Kuomintang was completely bankrupt, and although the PLA lost more than 70 cities, its troops only lost tens of thousands of troops, and when the PLA counterattacked, it only paid a small price to recover all the lost territory.
Ma Zheng is also ready to use this tactic to deal with the Japanese attack this time, Ma Zheng transferred all the regular troops to the Mongolian-Hebei border, he is ready to give up all the territory in Hebei except for the eastern Hebei region, and if necessary, Xinghe, Fengzhen, Shangdu, Shangyi will also be lost to the Japanese army, but the premise must be that the Japanese army will exchange human lives.
The current situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, but Ma Zheng predicts that when these places are lost, the strength of the enemy and us will be almost equal, and when the Eighth Route Army headquarters and other armed forces attack at the same time, then there will be Okamura Ningji, the old devil cried, Ma Zheng has always believed that the person who laughs to the end is happy.
