[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 874: The pressure is great (ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Ma Zheng disagreed with the intelligence department's analysis, although 300,000 is a lot, but it is obviously impossible for Okamura Ninji to use 300,000 people to calm the situation in North China in one fell swoop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And with Ma Zheng's understanding of the old devil Okamura Ningji, it is impossible for Japan's famous "Mitoriba" to have such a little ability, and it must have a backhand.

Moreover, Ma Zheng also believed that the Japanese army's troops dispatched this time were far more than 300,000 troops, and that the Japanese troops in the three directions of Zhangjiakou, Zhulu, and Laiyuan alone were as many as 150,000, plus 50,000 or 60,000 puppet troops, so there were as many as 200,000 troops directly involved in the operation.

Coupled with the strength of the four divisions in Shanxi and the puppet army that cooperated with the battle, and Ma Zheng also judged that Okamura Ningji still had at least 50,000 to 80,000 reserves, and during the last battle of North China, Tada Jun ate the loss of no reserves and the troops were too scattered, so Ma Zheng didn't think that Okamura Ningji's intelligence could not see this, and if he didn't leave a little reserve, he would be sorry for Okamura Ningji's great reputation.

Therefore, Ma Zheng estimated that the Japanese army in North China had at least 350,000 troops, and even possibly 400,000, and if the Kwantung Army inserted another lever, this number would rise again by 50,000 to 100,000.

With so many troops, to be honest, Ma Zheng didn't expect it before. After all, the North China Front Army defended a very large territory, Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Pingjin regions, such a vast territory, there are no less than 100 cities alone, according to the calculation of at least 1,000 defenders in each city, the entire Japanese army also needs more than 100,000 garrisons on the chassis.

Besides, which important military town like Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan, Taiyuan, and Shimen does not need to be guarded by 10,000 people? Therefore, according to Ma Zheng's estimate, the Japanese army will have at least about 200,000 defenders left in the rear alone. Therefore, Ma Zheng expected that the attack troops that Okamura Ningji could draw out would be more than 100,000 at full capacity, while the corresponding Suicha Military Region had nearly 200,000 elite troops and nearly 200,000 garrison troops, even if the 100,000 troops were deducted to stay in the base area, but there were also more than 300,000 troops used to counterattack the Japanese army, so Ma Zheng had never been worried about fighting the North China Front.

But now it seems that he still underestimates the old devil Okamura Ningji, and he is a big deal as soon as he makes a move. This time, the North China Front Army has at least more than 350,000 troops, of which the purebred Japanese army should be about 250,000, which accounts for more than 80% of the strength of the Japanese puppet army in North China.

Such a huge enemy army gave Ma Zheng a lot of pressure, and at the same time, what worried Ma Zheng the most was that the Japanese army base camp actually handed over the third tank division, one of the few tank units in the entire Japan, to Okamura Ningji, an old devil, which was not good news.

Speaking of the Japanese army's third tank division and Ma Zheng, they can be regarded as old enemies, although the two sides have never fought each other, but the relationship is not shallow. At that time, Ma Zheng's division attacked Tianjin and looted all the chariot equipment that had just been transported to the port of Tianjin, resulting in the Third Division still in the northeast having to return to China for installation.

As the saying goes, the retribution of the present world comes quickly, no, people have just finished arranging and coming back for revenge after a period of training.

Ma Zheng knows a lot about this third tank division, which is the only tank unit on the Chinese battlefield that fights from north to south. Historically, the Third Chariot Division was formed in Baotou with a new outfit, and then attacked all the way to the south, fighting with more than 70 Chinese divisions, and it was still more victorious than defeated, and even participated in the Battle of Central Henan in 1944.

This third tank division alone is enough for Ma Zheng's department to drink a pot, although the Suicha Military Region also has an armored division, but if it fights with this third tank division, it is really difficult to say whether it will win or lose.

Besides, Ma Zheng really didn't dare to let the armored division fight the third tank division with the chariot division, because the Chariot Military Region could not produce such heavy equipment, and once the losses were large, it would be difficult to replenish it, and Japan's military production capacity was more than ten times stronger than that of the Suicha Military Region and even the whole of China, and the chariot could also be mass-produced in strategic equipment.

In a word, the losses of the Japanese army began, and once Ma Zheng's division was lost, the formation of the armored division had to be withdrawn, so how to deal with the Japanese army's tank division also became a problem that troubled Ma Zheng.

These things in Ma Zheng's mind only came to mind in a short period of time, but how to solve them was not up to him alone, and he made a decision after discussion by the entire military region.

Immediately, Ma Zheng said loudly outside the door: "Notice, at two o'clock in the afternoon, cadres above the head of the military region will have a meeting in the conference room, and they will be notified immediately." ”

Two o'clock in the afternoon, small conference room.

The small conference room is also called the internal conference room, this is because this conference room can only accommodate a dozen people for meetings, plus usually the people who come here for meetings are senior cadres of the Suicha Military Region, and the general military rank must at least reach the level of division commander or division political commissar level cadres are qualified to hold meetings here, so it is jokingly called the internal conference room or the general conference room by the soldiers.

The telegram sent by the intelligence department was sent to Political Commissar Luo and others to read, and then Ma Zheng spoke: "Comrades, this is a critical moment related to the life and death of our Suicha Military Region and the life and death of our entire Chinese nation. is different from the last time, although the last time the little devil also dispatched an army of more than 100,000, but not as crazy as this old devil Okamura Ningji. ”

"Everyone has read the information just now, the Japanese puppet army in the entire North China region adds up to only a few thousand, and it is only about 500,000 when it is full, but this time the little devil actually mobilized more than 300,000 troops to attack our Eighth Route Army, it seems that the little devil has reached the limit of patience, and this time he is determined to clean up our department. What do you think about this battle, talk about it, and then we will discuss it in detail? ”

There were only about a dozen people who came to the meeting, so although the atmosphere was tense, it was not at all inhibited.

As soon as Ma Zheng finished speaking, Political Commissar Luo spoke: "Commander, I think you still have to command this battle, on the one hand, you know the troops of the military region best, and you know where to put them in the most appropriate place. Secondly, to be honest, as far as our Eighth Route Army is concerned, you are the only one who can fight positional warfare and can fight positional warfare well, except for Principal Lin, or you are an absolute expert in fighting positional warfare. The most taboo thing to do is for the layman to command the insider, so I think you have to command this battle. ”

"I agree with the opinion of the political commissar, the reason why our military region was able to achieve such a big result at a small cost last time was entirely because of the commander's command, so this time only you can win the victory of the counterattack by personally going out of the horse. Those of us will do a good job of logistics and sitting in the rear, and the things that are placed on the front line will depend on you! Xu Yinghui echoed.

Then Xu Xiaolin also stood up, he was the head of the military intelligence department of the military region, so he knew much more about the situation on the front line than ordinary people, so he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Commander, the situation this time is not optimistic, although the vast majority of our troops have gone through half a year of intensive training, and the momentum and combat effectiveness of the troops have been greatly improved. At present, the number of all the elite regular troops in our military region is about 2340,000, and the rest are garrison units in various localities, and it is still possible to carry out some not very serious defensive tasks in peacetime, but if we fight with the most elite field troops of the Japanese army, it will be difficult to grasp the casualties. ”

Then Xu Xiaolin said again: "And this time the Japanese army dispatched 3560,000 troops, and the ratio of enemy and enemy forces has almost reached 1:1, so we are still at a certain disadvantage in terms of troops!" Secondly, the equipment of the Japanese army has been greatly improved compared with two years ago, and the military region must pay attention to this campaign! (To be continued.) )
