Chapter 203: The Biggest Test
Yang Zhen picked up the red and blue pencils, drew a large circle on the location of the southeast of Jin on the map, and continued: "Boss, judging from the current battlefield in southeast Jin, as well as the actions of the surrounding Japanese troops - Bayi Chinese w small w small w one .8 one 1 small z small w. small c one om was still the deputy commander-in-chief Lao Cheng at the beginning, and the decision was more in line with the actual situation of the southeast Jinnan battlefield. â
"My previous idea was to take the initiative to attack and lure the Japanese army to expose all their tactical intentions in the southeast of Jinjin. Taking the initiative firmly in your own hands is still a bit too hasty to think about now. In terms of action, it is also too risky. â
"Our army can take advantage of the terrain, but why can't the Japanese army also take advantage of the terrain? The southeast of Shanxi is the enemy of our army's main base area, and the two Japanese divisions and regiments that participated in the war in the southeast of Shanxi were not the main divisions of the First Army of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi, so how could they not be familiar with the terrain of the entire southeast of Shanxi? â
"The two divisions of the Japanese army were gathered together, and once they seized the commanding heights along the Changjin Highway, they relied on the Jinzhou supply line behind them to obtain sufficient supplies of food and ammunition. With the strength of two divisions and regiments, coupled with the control of favorable terrain, it is very likely that the battle will be fought as a delay. â
"At that time, the Japanese army took advantage of the main force of our army and was pinned down along the Changjin Highway, and the entire southeast hinterland of Jin was empty. With a force from northern Henan straight into the front line of Changzhi, behind our army. If the main force of our army is attracted to the two battlefields in the north and south, and it is impossible to draw enough troops to block the Japanese army attacking from northern Henan to the west, it is very easy to fail to defeat the tiger and be injured by the tiger. â
"And the deputy commander-in-chief decided not to take it lightly, but to put all the main forces into one battlefield, or to look for fighters in the middle of the movement. The idea of making full use of the terrain of the battlefield in the southeast of Shanxi Province, wielding the strengths of our army's mountain sports warfare, and striving to eat the Japanese army in one fell swoop is still farther than I see. â
"If I had followed my idea at the beginning, I would have concentrated all my main forces to fight the two divisions of the Japanese army, and at the same time launched a general attack on the Japanese puppet army in front of Dongyang Pass. The entire battlefield situation seems to show that our army will not suffer any big losses in a short period of time, and the scene is much better. However, it has also invested basically all the living forces in the two battlefields of the north and the south. â
"At present, the Japanese army as a whole has declined significantly compared with the beginning of the war. The 81zw.com of the soldiers, especially the soldiers, have declined even more. However, the overall strength of the Japanese army, at least compared to the strength invested in this battle, is not enough to decline to the point where it is not a threat to us. â
"The two divisions are close together, occupying various commanding heights along the Changjin Highway, relying on the continuous replenishment of the enemy in Jinzhou, and the troops and energy we need to invest in annihilating them are quite huge. Sister-in-law Suo Ke Er said that the most famous Yan Qing girl said that plus the line of Jinzhou and Gaoping, the distance from the Japanese army north of the Yellow River and south of Zhongtiao Mountain is not enough to fight. If you force an attack, it will undoubtedly take quite some time. â
"At that time, all the main forces of our army in the southeast battlefield of Jinjin will be attracted to the situation between Changzhi and Gaoping, as well as the front line of Dongyang Pass, it will be difficult to deal with other unexpected situations in the surrounding area in the division of troops. Coupled with the fact that the Japanese army suddenly came horizontally with such a knife, the entire battlefield in the southeast of Shanxi Province may fall into passivity. â
The deputy commander-in-chief's decision was a bit conservative at the time. But looking at it now, it is indeed more in line with the situation of our army and the enemy in the southeast battlefield of Shanxi. On the surface, the enemy has nothing to worry about, but the Japanese army has always been known for its cunning. The enemy forces that are not exposed are the most terrifying. â
"The deputy commander-in-chief's steady decision at that time was to take advantage of our army's advantages of being familiar with the terrain and being good at mountain warfare to annihilate the enemy in the middle of the movement. In the end, he is a veteran who has seen the battle situation thoroughly and in the long run, and I, a junior, are still far inferior. â
"As for the current shape, although it looks a little dangerous on the surface, it is actually far from the time when it is fatal enough to affect the entire battle situation. The main forces of our army have not yet been entangled by the Japanese puppet army in the north and south. The vast majority of the mobile forces are still in hand, and the adaptability of the battlefield is still there. â
"The Japanese army attacked from Linxian, although it took advantage of the opportunity that the eyes of the Fifth Division of Taihang were attracted by the Shexian battlefield, and the main force of the entire southeast battlefield of Shanxi was attracted by the battlefield south of Changzhi, and the tactical suddenness was almost successfully achieved. At least on the surface, it does create a certain passivity for our army. â
"And this knife is inserted from the most unnoticeable direction of the entire southeast battlefield of Jinjin, but it is also the most critical part, and it is indeed a good calculation. Bayi Novel Network w8ww said. Say 8 a 1 small z eight w small. Once a C small OM is broken into the Shunping line by the Japanese army, then our army will be in the southeast battlefield of Jinjin, and the connection between the two battlefields in the north and south will be cut off. â
"At that time, whether the Japanese army goes south or north, it will cause our army to be quite passive on the entire battlefield. In particular, joining the first-line battlefield from Changzhi to Huguan to the south is likely to cause our army to be in a dilemma. Advance, then the attacking troops will be attacked by the enemy. retreat, then give way to almost all the passages to the north for the Japanese army. â
"The Japanese army fought us there in the entire southeast battlefield of Jinjin, and if they wanted to fight us, they would fight us there. Even if our army jumps out of the outside line to look for fighters after letting go of Changzhi, the entire southeast of Jin, which has been roughly stabilized, is likely to fall into erosion again, and the entire Taihang base area is in danger of being destroyed. â
"However, the hand that the Japanese army is making now looks quite vicious on the surface. The strength of this brigade alone may even lead to the collapse of the entire battlefield in the southeast of our Shanxi Province. But in fact, the threat of the Japanese army to the entire battlefield in the southeast of Shanxi Province is far less great than what appears on the surface. â
"Although Hongtiguan has been an important passage connecting northern Henan since ancient times, it has been an important passage in the southeast of Shanxi Province. However, this route is steep and the terrain is complicated, and it is not a favorable passage for large corps operations. The first line of Hongti Pass, although it is far away from the Changzhi battlefield, is very close to the first line of Dongyang Pass. â
"As long as our army can arrive in time, we will use the first-line natural danger of Hongti Pass to fortify. At the same time, the front-line commanders of our army did not have any major problems in deployment. I think there should be no problem in holding out until the deputy commander-in-chief arrives from the Changzhi battlefield and a brigade is dispatched. However, the key is that our army can control the rear and preempt the arrival of the Japanese brigade between Hongtiguan and Pingshun County. â
"And judging from the entire battle situation in the southeast of Jinjin, even if the blocking troops failed to arrive in time. However, as long as the reinforcements can prevent this Japanese brigade from crossing the line of Pingshun County to the southwest and the line of the Zhuozhang River to the north, at least in a short period of time, it will not have any great impact on the situation in the southeast of Shanxi. â
Judging from the location of the blocking troops mobilized by the deputy commander-in-chief, he still has a good idea of the battles on the front line of Linxian and Binh Thuan. The most important thing is the direction of attack chosen by the deputy commander-in-chief, and I don't think there is any mistake. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the Japanese army on the three routes, the battlefield south of Changzhi is obviously the main force of the Japanese army. â
"As long as the main force of the Japanese army in the battlefield south of Changzhi is severely damaged, even if the other two Japanese troops have great ability, they will not be able to come up with any big tricks. Boss, I think that the tactical determination of the deputy commander-in-chief to respond to all changes without change, no matter how many ways you come, I just go all the way, is in line with the overall situation of the entire battlefield in the southeast of Shanxi Province at present.
"Even if I were to command the battle in the southeast of Jindong by myself, I am afraid that I would not be able to come up with a better combat plan than this. This may be a risky move, and it may even cost a lot. But if this battle can really solve the Japanese army south of Changzhi, then there will be no more war in the entire southeast battlefield of Jin. â
"As for the ability of the deputy commander-in-chief, whether it can achieve the strategic goal, the boss, I have no doubts. In addition, the strength of our army in the southeast battlefield of Shanxi Province has long been different from that of the original Hundred Regiments War, which can be said on the same day. As a result of the training in the first phase of operations, the technical and tactical level has also been greatly improved. â
"What's more, there is also the teacher I was in the 129th Division, who commanded the operation on the front line. On the entire battlefield in the southeast of Shanxi, it can be said that there are many elite soldiers and strong generals, and they occupy an absolute advantage in terms of troops and firepower, and they have the convenience of fighting on the inside line. So boss, I have nothing to worry about on the battlefield in the southeast of Jin. â
"As long as there is no big accident on the battlefield in the southeast of Jinjin. I can calmly deal with the Japanese army, which has appeared off the coast of Qikou and is preparing to board the 6th battle, as well as to solve the enemy on the Pinghan Line and northwest Lu first. The battle has reached this point, no matter how many troops he Okamura Ninji invests, even if they just invite their bullshit Apayasu, the victory of this battle is firmly in our hands. â
"Okamura Ninji this time one ring after another, changing the way to set us up. I want to mobilize our troops on a large scale and create ZĂ o fighters for them. So, I'll give them a plan. Didn't he want to use a pincer offensive, interspersed with a wide range, and make dumplings for our hundreds of thousands of troops? â
"I'll break one of his two pliers now, and I'll see what else he can do to outflank my back. The deputy commander-in-chief dragged one of his hands in the southeast of Jinjin, and my troops took out his two feet. In the reserves that have not yet been used in my hands, I will first hit his 6th troops. When the time comes, I will see what tricks he can play when he is poor in donkey skills. â
For Yang Zhen's explanation, the boss nodded slightly, but shook his head slightly. Just looking at the young general in front of him, the boss didn't say anything more. However, the boss didn't say anything about Yang Zhen's entire layout of the Hebei battlefield. The boss returned to the front line from Beiping this time, focusing on listening to Yang Zhen's opinions on the southeast battlefield of Shanxi, and coordinating the cooperation between the southeast battlefield of Shanxi and the Hebei battlefield in the center.
Now that Yang Zhen is so relieved about the battlefield in the southeast of Jin, the boss is not very easy to say. Although the boss thinks that Yang Zhen's idea is a bit too dangerous. But as a front-line commander, the boss still trusts Yang Zhen's judgment very much. At least in the first stage of the battle, Yang Zhen's stubbornness finally achieved the result, so that the boss is still very confident in Yang Zhen's judgment.
Compared with the boss who paid more attention to the battlefield in the southeast of Jin, Yang Zhen in front of him was attracted by the direction of Qikou hundreds of kilometers away at the moment. Because in that direction, it will face a situation far beyond the battlefield in the southeast of Jin. Once the Japanese army that has appeared off the coast of Qikou has gained a firm foothold, the danger to the entire battle situation will also be far beyond the southeast of Jin.
At the same time as the battlefield shape in the southeast of Jin Province changed abruptly, a huge fleet of ships consisting of a large number of six ships and transport ships, under the unusually strict protection of the Japanese Navy, had already assembled from Lushun, the mainland, and the Korean Peninsula to the waters of Changshan Island in the north of the Bohai Strait.
When the deputy commander-in-chief of the battlefield in the southeast of Shanxi Province made up his mind to attack the enemy in the direction of Huguan first, this huge fleet, which had already completed its assembly, was loaded with two divisions of the Japanese Sixth Army, a special sixth combat unit of the navy, and a tank wing of the navy, and under the cover of dozens of naval ships, it was heading towards the coastline of Qikou.
With the arrival of this fleet off the coast of Qikou, there was no longer the previous calm along the entire Bohai Bay. And being in charge of the defense of Jinpu Road, although it can be regarded as a long-tested operation, it is the first time that Du Kaishan, who has experienced the anti-Deng6 operation, is about to usher in the biggest test in his military career.
