[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 820: Battle Plan (Subscription Requested!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

After receiving Lao Chiang's telegram, Ma Zheng summoned dozens of senior staff officers of the General Staff Department of the Suicha Military Region to the operational command room for a meeting to discuss the plan for dealing with the enemy. Dozens of people www.biquge.info the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion were nested in the combat command room for three days, and then two battle plans were drawn up for Ma Zheng to choose.

The first operational plan was to seize the Battle of Eastern Hebei, including the entire Rehe Province and eastern Hebei, and in accordance with the operational plan of the General Staff, concentrate the main forces of the 1st Division, the 3rd Division, the Cavalry Division, the Armored Division, and several brigades directly under the Military Region to attack all the strategic points in Rehe and Eastern Hebei where the Japanese army was stationed, and to take the entire Rehe and Eastern Hebei with lightning speed, so as to completely cut off the passage connecting the Japanese Kwantung Army with the North China Front, so that it could not be connected from end to end.

The second operational plan was aimed at annihilating the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, and the tactics of the staff headquarters were arranged in this way, and the entire operational plan was divided into four stages, the first stage was to concentrate on the reorganization of the Second and Fifth Divisions, all the cavalry units and more than half of the artillery in the theater, and launch the largest blow against the Japanese puppet army in the Pingjin area, thus creating the false impression that the Suicha Military Region would regain Beiping.

In the second stage, the integrated 1st and 2nd Divisions stationed in Shanxi were concentrated and launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the front line of Xinkou from Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass, aiming to contain the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi and prevent it from fleeing eastward.

The third stage was to quietly concentrate the armored forces in Wei County, and suddenly rush to Jizhong at the most tense time of the war. Jizhong is the largest plain in North China, which is very suitable for the group charge of armored troops, and Wei County is not far from Baoding, the capital city of Hebei Province, if the attack goes well, the troops can reach Baoding in one day and one night.

At that time, the large-scale infantry followed closely and advanced by surprise, and it should be able to take Baoding soon, and then the army went south to attack Shimen, completely encircling the Japanese First Army in Shanxi on the Shanxi Plateau.

As long as Shimen is taken, the rear road of the First Army stationed in Shanxi will be cut off, and as long as the attack is rapid, it is entirely possible to annihilate it in Shanxi.

Comparatively speaking, Ma Zheng still felt that the second battle plan was more feasible, although the first battle plan had a high probability of success in the front half of the division, but the second half was very dangerous, although it could cut off the connection channel between the two heavy army groups of the Japanese army, but at the same time, it also put himself between the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army, and it was very likely to be attacked by these two heavy army groups, even if it was as strong as the Suicha Military Region, it could not easily put itself in the danger of being attacked by the enemy on its back.

Although the second battle plan will go through four stages, it fully takes into account the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us, and even takes into account the restrictions of the terrain on each branch of the army, so the feasibility is relatively high.

More importantly, the main purpose of the Suicha Military Region's southward operation this time was to contain the Japanese army, and whether or not it could achieve results was not said for the time being, but at least it should not put itself in a dangerous situation. Although the first battle plan was not bad, after success, it could only take the initiative strategically, which would be of great help to the future battle situation, but it was very risky, and one accidentally pitted himself.

However, the second battle plan was different, and the combat goal was extremely clear, that is, to completely annihilate the first army of the Japanese North China Front Army stationed in Shanxi, and if it succeeded, it would be able to wipe out nearly 100,000 Japanese troops in one fell swoop, and this result was enough to shake the whole of Japan. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, just go back the way you came, and there won't be too much of a mistake.

Moreover, the second battle plan is carried out in stages, and if the soldiers in the previous stage do not go well, then the later ones can not be implemented, and in any case, it is enough to contain the hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front Army in North China.

Under Ma Zheng's chairmanship, all the staff officers meticulously revised some details of the second battle plan and quickly convened an operational meeting of the principal officers at the division and brigade level of the military region to prepare for the use of troops against Japan.

After receiving Ma Zheng's order, the main officers of the various units did not dare to slack off and immediately set off for Guisui.

This time, unlike in the past, the Suicha Military Region only dispatched two divisions, and the one responsible for the first phase of the operation was the reorganized Fifth Division, which was then supplemented by the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade, the 1st Artillery Brigade, the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the 1st Armored Division, and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, with a total strength of about 45,000 troops.

Although the number of troops is not very large, if you judge from the firepower, this army is worth at least 4 garrison divisions of the Japanese army, or even more.

The army in charge of the second phase is still the same road, and there is no change in the strength and strength of the troops.

The troops responsible for the third phase of the offensive had a total of two integrated divisions, several integrated divisions of the first and second divisions, and other technical arms participated in the battle.

In the first stage of this battle, Ma Zheng's troops mobilized only more than 40,000 people, which is not a large-scale battle, but can only be regarded as an ordinary battle, but if it goes well, then the follow-up troops will gradually join the battle, and the scale will be large, with at least 100,000 troops participating in the battle.

As soon as Ma Zheng's headquarters made a move, the Japanese army got the news, and this was not because the Suicha Military Region's secrecy measures were not in place, but because there were other reasons. This is mainly due to the fact that the troops that Ma Zheng's troops want to mobilize this time are scattered in various places, and it is very troublesome to gather these troops together, and it is not very easy to conceal them.

In addition, in the past two years, the Suicha Military Region has aggressively recruited refugees and other poor people to come in order to solve the problem of population shortage in the northern part of the country, so it is inevitable that Japanese spies will be mixed in.

In the past two years, a total of 2,321 espionage cases have been cracked, an average of more than three per day, and 4,583 Japanese spies and puppet traitors have been arrested. Despite this, there are still many eyeliners of the Japanese army in the entire Suicha area.

Another reason is that Ma Zheng did not think about secrecy from beginning to end, and instead of issuing a gag order, he hyped up the war in the press, anyway, their purpose was only to force the Japanese army in North China.

After receiving the news, Okamura Ninji did not dare to slack off, he knew very well the power of the Suicha Military Region. At this time, Ma Zheng suddenly announced that he would send troops to North China, and his intentions were very clear to Senior General Okamura Ningji.

Since this general dares to say this, then he will definitely not release empty artillery, he will definitely send troops, and he is very confident that he will defeat the front army, otherwise he would not have publicized it like this.

Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji hurriedly convened a military meeting of the commanders of the divisions and regiments of the North China Front and the units directly under the North China Front to discuss countermeasures.

After discussions at the top level of the North China Front, it was judged that there might be several directions for the Suicha Military Region's attack, and the first and most likely direction of attack would be the Zhangjiakou and Xuanhua lines, because it was the closest to the Pingjin area. Once they defeated the defenders on the line of Xiayuan, Zhulu, and Changping. You can directly attack the city of Beiping, which is the fastest way to attack the front army.

Secondly, there is the Jing (Le) Xin (Kou) line, because the people of China have occupied Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass, they have taken the initiative in strategy. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. Coupled with the assistance of the Second Theater of Operations, it is very likely that the Suicha Military Region will join forces with the Second Theater of Operations to launch a siege of the First Army in Shanxi.

Once again, it is the first line of Rehe, where it is connected to the east of Hebei, once it is by the hands of the Zhina people, and soon the entire passage inside and outside the Guanguan may be cut off by the Zhina people. More importantly, the Eighth Route Army in the eastern Hebei region has quite a few powerful troops, and even has troops at the division and brigade level. Although the imperial army encircled and suppressed many times, it had little effect, but lost many troops.

Now the imperial army's control over the eastern Hebei region is gradually weakening, even the heavily garrisoned county is not very safe, and even Okamura Ninji believes that as long as the people of China are willing, some not very important county towns can be captured at any time. With the assistance of these troops, it was not very difficult for the Suicha Military Region to capture eastern Hebei.

In the end, it was Okamura Ninji who made a decision to immediately strengthen the garrison forces in various places, strengthen the vigilance, and then transfer the 5th and 10th divisions, the main forces of the front army, to the vicinity of Beiping, first, to strengthen the defense of the Pingjin area, and secondly, to respond in the center, once a place is attacked, these two divisions can also arrive at the first time to carry out reinforcement operations.
