Hearing that Baoding was restored and two divisions of the little devil were annihilated, Zhang Yunfei also seemed to be high-spirited, and he was also full of confidence in the future war.

Zhang Yunfei was full of ambition, walked to the huge military map, looked at the vast base area, and then looked at several large cities that had recently been recovered in succession.

Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Comrades, look at the map, although there are more than 200,000 little devils in Beiping, Tianjin and other places, and there are still a lot of puppet troops, they basically have no strategic depth, and below, our planes should also exert their might again." ”

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

It is true that the planes of the flying group have not bombed the little devils for several days, and recently, many planes of the flying group have instead played the role of reconnaissance planes.

"Command! The planes of the flight brigade in Datong and Taiyuan concentrated on bombing the little devils in Beiping, Tianjin, and other places, so that the little devils could once again compensate for the bombing. ”

Zhang Yunfei's voice was firm and powerful.

Immediately, Zhang Yunfei's order was conveyed to the flying team, and Gao Zhihang did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered almost all Mustang fighters to carry aerial bombs and go to Beijing and Tianjin to bomb the little devils.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei finished passing the order, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, said heartily: "Commander-in-chief, this time the little devil is afraid that he will suffer heavy losses again." ”

"Yes! The little devils themselves will hide in the city again, shamefully using our people to cover themselves. ”

Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, was also a little worried.

Since the little devils in North China have basically lost air supremacy, the planes of the 36 th Group Army can simply come and go freely in North China, and the little devils are basically only bombed.

Although, in order to guard against the planes of the 36 th Group Army, some units of the North China Front of the Little Devils hurriedly equipped themselves with antiaircraft machine guns, but this little antiaircraft machine gun is basically a drop in the bucket compared to the more than 200,000 little devils, and the effect is limited.

Therefore, in order to prevent the bombing of the planes of the 36th Group Army, many of the little devil troops remembered the trick of damage, and as long as they heard the air defense siren, they hurriedly hid in the city, and even hid in residential areas, so as to prevent the bombing of the 36th Group Army.

But even so, there are still a lot of little devils who will be killed, and the number of little devils in the Beijing-Tianjin area is too huge.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was preparing to bomb the little devil on a large scale again, Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, are we about to attack the Beiping and Tianjin areas?" ”

Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "Comrades, now that the time is fully ripe to recover the Beijing-Tianjin region, we can launch a large-scale offensive next." ”

Hearing this, everyone was confident and inspired.

Zhang Yunfei looked around at everyone, "Comrades, what we are doing with the North China Front Army of the little devil in the Beijing-Tianjin area this time is equivalent to a decisive battle, and I won't go into detail about the strategic significance of this decisive battle, I believe everyone knows it very well." ”

"This time, in order to ensure the reduction of casualties of our army and ensure the victory of the battle, I have decided to give full play to the superiority of our heavy weapons, first the air force strike, then the heavy artillery bombardment, and finally the attack of the ground forces, the tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments will be the vanguard of the ground offensive, and the infantry regiments will cooperate."

Zhang Yunfei adopted the strategy and tactics of later generations, and wanted to fight a relatively modern war with the little devils, although such tactics seemed simple and unpretentious, but the effect was very obvious, and such tactics were also based on having absolute air supremacy and having a large number of heavy artillery and armored units.

The first round of air strikes required the use of a large number of planes and the consumption of a large amount of bombs and fuel, which is also the reason why Zhang Yunfei did not order another large-scale bombing by the flying group for several days.

During this period of time, they were all hoarding all kinds of materials to prepare for the next big war, and the large-scale use of aircraft, artillery, and tanks had very high requirements for logistics.

Next, Zhang Yunfei gave a general explanation and explanation to everyone, everyone has never been exposed to such an advanced concept of war, and now, Zhang Yunfei has almost brought the use of heavy weapons such as aircraft, artillery, and tanks to the extreme.

Zhang Yunfei patiently told everyone for more than an hour, and everyone listened to it.

In accordance with Zhang Yunfei's strategic plan, the recovery of the Beijing-Tianjin region this time was mainly divided into three steps.

The first step is a massive bombardment of the flying group, an air strike, such a bombardment can last for several days, with the aim of destroying a large number of fortifications of the little devils, killing and injuring a large number of little devils.

The second step is a large-scale artillery bombardment, and some important military areas and important military areas of the little devils will face fierce shelling by various columns of the 36th Group Army.

The third step is the ground offensive, with tanks, armored vehicles, and armed off-road vehicles as the lead, and the infantry regiments follow up and cooperate with each other to launch an all-out attack on the little devils.

This seemingly simple three steps are very complicated, and there is a lot of knowledge in the middle, which is why Zhang Yunfei only gave you a rough talk and talked for more than an hour.

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, everyone thought in their hearts, it turns out that the battle can still be fought like this.

Comrade Fang Zheng, deputy director of the General Political Department, admired Zhang Yunfei abnormally, and at this time, Fang Zheng suddenly realized why he repeatedly asked himself to hoard a large amount of materials some time ago.

With so many supplies, in Fang Zheng's opinion, even a few big battles are enough, and now, it seems that if you follow the commander-in-chief's fighting style just now, these materials are not much at all.

Everyone was reminiscent for a long time, and they couldn't extricate themselves from such magnificent tactics, and after a long time, everyone finally came to their senses.

Zhang Yunfei knows that these tactical concepts are already very advanced for everyone, and Zhang Yunfei's style of play is a bit like the tactics often used by Lao Mi in later generations, but there is less informatization and missiles.

Zhang Yunfei thought, such tactics, everyone may have to slowly digest and understand them, and then have the opportunity to gradually instill these things in depth in the future.

However, Zhang Yunfei also believes that after the completion of several conference battles in the Beijing-Tianjin area, everyone may have a deeper understanding of such advanced tactics.

Zhang Yunfei saw that everyone was slowly coming back to their senses, and then said with full of anger: "Old Zuo, your staff department will immediately formulate a detailed battle plan according to the strategic thinking I just had, and in addition, send a report to Yan'an, asking the central government to agree that we will immediately recover Beiping and Tianjin." ”

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry, I will immediately arrange for all the chiefs of staff of operations to draw up a detailed battle plan." Chief of the General Staff Zuo Qingquan was full of confidence.

Zhang Yunfei nodded: "Okay, I have made a plan to show me as soon as possible, and in addition, the bombing of the little devils by the flying team must also be carried out as soon as possible." ”

The bombing of the little devils in the Beijing-Tianjin area by the flying brigade did not conflict with the general staff's formulation of an operational plan, and could be carried out immediately.

Yan'an.

At present, the central authorities have received a telegram from the 36th Group Army, the content of which is very simple: The 36th Group Army is preparing to recover Beiping and Tianjin, and the central authorities are asking for their consent.

However, although the content of the telegram was only a few words, the military action revealed behind it was definitely not simple, so now, the chairman, the vice chairman, and the commander-in-chief were discussing in the cave.

The chairman, vice chairman, and commander-in-chief are composed of a three-member central military command group, and major military operations are basically discussed by the three of them.

The chairman took a deep puff of his cigarette and said with a smile in a thick Hunan dialect: "It seems that Comrade Yunfei has a lot of appetite this time, and he has set his sights on the 200,000 troops of the little devils, and on the two big cities of Beiping and Tianjin. ”

The chairman still admired Zhang Yunfei quite a lot, not to mention that the 36th Group Army had won a series of major victories one after another, that is, Zhang Yunfei's generous assistance to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army, and Zhang Yunfei's low posture from time to time, made the chairman feel that Zhang Yunfei was a very good comrade.

Vice Chairman Wu also took over the conversation with a smile on his face, "Chairman, I see that the 36th Group Army is full of confidence this time, and we can completely agree with the 36th Group Army to recover Beiping and Tianjin. ”

The 36 th Group Army has 400,000 troops, and the central authorities know about it, and the 36 th Group Army is well-equipped and has won a series of major victories one after another.

As soon as they received this telegram from the 36th Group Army, the chairman, vice chairman, and commander-in-chief basically had no worries in their hearts, so the atmosphere was very relaxed when the three of them discussed together.

The comrade in chief also said: "Chairman, I think the 36th Group Army is at least 80% sure this time, and we just need to listen to the good news of the 36th Group Army." ”

Hearing this, the three of them all laughed, and the commander-in-chief basically said what was in everyone's hearts, and everyone's opinions were similar.

At present, the central authorities have very little intervention in the 36th Group Army, and basically do not interfere in the development of the 36th Group Army and a series of military operations.

Therefore, as long as the central authorities agree to the 36th Group Army's liberation of Beiping, Tianjin, and other areas, there will be no interference in the specific details of the operation, and everyone only needs to wait for the 36th Group Army to report the results.

At present, the 36th Group Army has a great deal of military autonomy, which is incomparable with neither the Eighth Route Army nor the New Fourth Army.

The three of them did not discuss for long together, but agreed in principle to the telegram request of the 36th Group Army, and also made a decision that Zhang Yunfei did not expect.
