Although Yang Zhen drained the last armored reserve in his hands in order to reinforce the frontal battlefield in northwest Lu, this reinforcement was something Yang Zhen had to give. Sister-in-law Sok Ke Er, look at the most famous Yan Qing girl Er said 81 Chinese w 1 w 1 w 8. Say 8 Say 1 Say zw Say. Whether or not Chen Hanzhang can achieve his strategic goals in the battlefield west of Texas is the most critical factor related to the success or failure of this battle.

As long as the 100 divisions can be solved and some of the follow-up forces of the Japanese army can be severely damaged, the initiative of the entire battle situation in this battle will be firmly in their own hands, even if the Japanese army concentrates a large number of troops on the Qikou line, even if the Japanese army breaks through the interception of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region in the southeast battlefield and penetrates along the Zhengtai Railway, it will no longer be able to change the situation of the war.

Yang Zhen's movements were quite fast, giving Chen Hanzhang the maximum reinforcements he could in the shortest possible time. On the Japanese side, the movements were just as fast. As soon as Chen Hanzhang had completed the encirclement of the 100 th Division, the 65 th Division, which had arrived day and night, had already arrived in Enxian County, regardless of the fierce bombing of the bomber group of the Anti-Japanese Union, and adopting the method of simultaneous transportation by multiple routes.

A reinforced detachment in the vanguard and the right flank interspersed with troops, and a fierce battle had already begun in the direction of the waist station to the county seat of Enxian. However, although the offensive of the 65th Division was quite fierce, perhaps both divisions in a row suffered a big loss from the flank breakthrough. When the 65th Division attacked, it retained a large number of troops on both flanks.

The ending of the previous friendly army made Lieutenant General Yyoshio Ota, the commander of the 65th Division, very wary of his flank. He preferred to reduce the number of attacking forces on the front rather than maintain sufficient forces on the flanks. In particular, on the left flank from Wangzhuang to Qingping, one or two infantry brigades were placed.

At the same time, a large number of field fortifications were built between the county seat of Enxian County and the plain. Although it did not have as much anti-tank equipment as the 100th Division, the 65th Division also ensured trapezoidal equipment on the flank battlefield as much as possible. It is obvious that this Lieutenant General Ota Yyoo is not at ease with handing over his right flank to the 22nd Division.

To tell the truth, Chen Hanzhang moved so quickly, regardless of the fact that the 72nd Division had not yet been completely encircled and annihilated, he set up an interspersed encirclement of the 100th Division, and completed the division and encirclement of the 100th Division and the 4th Brigade of Independent Tanks before the arrival of the 65th Division. The fierceness and speed of its movements were quite unexpected by the Japanese army. Bayi Chinese w net w eight w text. VIII 81 VIII ZW A. Web C text om

Originally, it was hoped that the 100th Division would be able to cooperate with the 72nd Division to hold back the Anti-Japanese Union in the territory from Enxian to Wucheng, and the 65th Division, which arrived later, adopted the tactics of internal and external flanking to defeat the Japanese army, which was the main force of the Anti-Japanese Union in the northwestern battlefield of Shandong in one fell swoop, and was somewhat taken by surprise.

Especially for the right flank position of the 100th Division, Uchiyama Eitaro is very confident that even if the Anti-Union invests a tank division, it will be enough to delay its offensive for five to seven days. The result of the first round of romance did not expect that although it brought a lot of losses to the Anti-Japanese Union, the right flank position of the 100th Division was broken through within 24 hours.

After facing the 100th Division also falling into the encirclement, not only the 72nd Division as fishing bait has been swallowed, but even the 100th Division in order to eat the anglers has also fallen into the embarrassing situation of encirclement and division, Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro as the commander of the Shandong battlefield. While constantly urging the 65th Division to make every effort to break the siege.

The 22nd Division of the Dezhou Battlefield was ordered to immediately find a way to draw out no less than one wing of troops at any cost, and immediately attack in the direction of the West Sinu Temple and the Ancient City. At the same time, each division and regiment in the northern Lubei battlefield was secretly ordered to send at least four infantry squadrons from each division to concentrate on the front line of the Shanghe River.

Since the start of the second phase of the battle, Uchiyama Eitaro has been very dissatisfied with the 22nd Division in the Texas battlefield and its division commander, Lieutenant General Saburo Isata. The current 22nd Division was reorganized after collecting the remnants of the various divisions and regiments that escaped from the Cangzhou battlefield before, plus the addition of the base camp.

The strength of the entire division was the strongest among the divisions and regiments participating in the Eastern Front in this battle. Its entire troop strength is equivalent to one and a half of other divisions and regiments. It is equivalent to the strength of the two divisions of the 100-character division that was put into various battlefields east of Texas.

Before the start of the campaign, the army also strengthened the firepower of a tank wing, two independent field artillery squadrons, a mountain artillery squadron and a howitzer brigade, plus an independent mortar brigade. Its firepower also far exceeded that of the two flanks of Texas, especially the divisions east of the Texas battlefield.

However, the progress of the 22nd Division in the entire Texas battlefield was quite slow. In the August 1 Chinese W ww.81zw.com was unable to open the defense line of the anti-union in person, not to mention, he was still entangled by the enemy. If the division had broken through the enemy's defensive line in northern Texas at the same time that the 72nd Division had advanced to the Zaonan battlefield, the entire battle situation would at least not be as erosive as it is now.

The sluggish progress of the 22nd Division almost became the biggest failure of the entire battle plan originally planned by the front army in this battle. And in this case, the division actually put a considerable part of its troops in the back to protect its ass. This approach of the 22nd Division undoubtedly made Uchiyama Eitaro extremely dissatisfied.

The chief of staff of the 22nd Division, Yoshiaki Horita, had been repeatedly reprimanded by Uchiyama Eitaro for being unfavorable in operation, and pointed out that the division's combat plan was too conservative. He only cared about the frontal assault, but did not dare to carry out any roundabout interspersed operations on the flanks. The tactics and tactics it adopted were very contrary to the tradition of the 6th Army of the Empire.

At the moment, when the exhibition was not carried out according to the original plan of the front army, but was somewhat in the direction of deterioration, Eitaro Uchiyama didn't care what Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda thought. With an unusually tough attitude, he ordered the 22nd Division to stay in Dezhou to Huangheya, protect a wing behind him, and immediately attack in the direction of the old city through the Four Girls Temple.

In order to supervise the execution of the 22nd Division's orders, Uchiyama Eitaro, who was already extremely dissatisfied with the 22nd Division, in addition to being extremely tough in demanding that the chief of staff of the 22nd Division immediately carry out his orders. He also sent a senior combat staff officer, Masao Orita, to personally rush to Dezhou to supervise the 22nd Division to carry out its orders.

After giving the 22nd Division an unusually tough order, he still felt that the troops in his hands were a little insufficient, and Uchiyama Eitaro, who was looking for reinforcements everywhere, couldn't take into account Okamura Ninji's blockade plan. The order was concentrated in Linzi, and the 1st Infantry Wing of the 48th Division of the Taiwan Infantry was immediately marched east from Linzi to Jinan.

The combat mission of blockading the Jiaoji Road that the wing was originally scheduled to undertake was transferred to the 2nd Infantry Wing of Taiwan and the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 47th Wing, which belonged to the 48th Division. After the arrival of the 1st Infantry Wing of Taiwan, it was assigned to the command of the 65th Division on the spot and launched an attack on the road from Enxian to Xiajin.

Under the current situation that the battlefield in northwestern Shandong is in urgent need of reinforcements, Eitaro Uchiyama really can't put an entire division and carry out the task so leisurely and leisurely in the northeast of Shandong. Although the troops of the Shandong Military Region of the Communist Army carried out the tactics of attacking north of the Jiaoji Line from multiple directions, the main force of the 48th Division could not be transferred westward.

However, at present, the 48th Division of a field replenishment team has been strengthened, and the strength of a wing can still be transferred. In Uchiyama's Eitaro's view, the entire Shandong battlefield is now one. If the battlefield in northwestern Shandong collapses, then the entire battlefield in northern Shandong is bound to erode.

Once the northern Lubei battlefield is lost, then the entire northern Lubei area north of the old Yellow River and the Bohai Bay will inevitably be completely unable to defend. At that time, not to mention the blockade of the entire Jiaodong Peninsula, even the whole of Shandong may not be able to hold it. Once Shandong is lost, the entire North China battlefield will also be completely eroded.

In any case, the entire northwestern Shandong battlefield is the top priority at the moment. Compared with the current battlefield in the northwest of Shandong, all other directions are floating clouds. If you can't defend the battlefield in the northwest of Lu, it's easy to say anything, and if you can't hold the battlefield in the northwest of Lu, everything is in vain. If there is a problem in the key position, then can you take care of other directions?

Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitarō, who knew in his heart that once he lost this battle, Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitarō, who was the commander of the North China Front, and the commanders of the two armies of the North China Front, including himself, would face severe punishment from the base camp.

Because the entire battle plan this time did not come according to the requirements of the base camp at all. It was made up privately by Senior General Okamura Ninji and him, together with Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto, and the chiefs of staff of the two armies. In other words, the entire battle plan was drawn up by the North China Front Army itself, and it was not approved by the base camp at all.

The battle was won, and it was easy to say that there was any violation of orders. But once this counterattack was defeated, no one, including himself, the commander of the First Army, could escape the involvement. At that time, I am afraid that several of my own people will be dismissed, and they will be the lightest punishment. The 6 phases, who are not broad-minded, will definitely not spare a few of his own people at that time, and he may even implicate the commander of the dispatch army, General Shunroku Hatata.

Lieutenant General Eitaro Uchiyama, who was beaten in a hurry, has already made up his mind to smash the pot and sell iron. However, Chen Hanzhang surrounded and divided the 100th division, and the chain reaction was not limited to a battlefield in northwest Shandong. Under the situation that Yang Zhen counterattacked the enemy on the Pinghan Road on the whole front, the battlefield in the northwest of Shandong was actually connected with the battlefield on the Pinghan Line as a whole.

In order to find out where the real hole cards of the Japanese army are, Yang Zhen also went out on the Western Front. And the two divisions on the Pinghan line were firmly pinned down on both flanks of the Pinghan line. At the same time, it concentrated superior forces and firepower to complete the division and encirclement of the battlefield west of the Pinghan Line, and entangled the 50th Division in the battlefield east of the Pinghan Line.

With the full launch of the anti-union counterattack on Pinghan Road, the battlefield in northwest Shandong has become a situation of you and me, and I have you. At present, at least on the surface, it seems that all the troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation on the battlefield in Hebei have poured out. Although it has never been found, the exact location of the two armored divisions of the Anti-Union on the Hebei battlefield, and in which direction the two armored divisions are deployed.

However, the exhibition of the entire battle situation has made the Japanese army unable to take into account these two armored divisions that have never appeared. With Chen Hanzhang's division and encirclement of the 100th Division, the 65th Division and the subsequent mobilized troops6 continued to appear on the battlefield in northwest Shandong. The entire eastern front of the Hebei battlefield has been fought together.

The battle was fought to this point, and according to the analysis and judgment of the Japanese intelligence system, the numbers of most of the divisions of the Anti-Japanese Union on the Hebei battlefield had all appeared. At this time, Okamura Ninji thought after integrating all aspects of the battle that it was now time to play all the hole cards.

What's more, although the two armored divisions of the Anti-Japanese Union have not appeared on the battlefield so far, Okamura Ningji is not unprepared at all. His 2nd Independent Tank Brigade, as well as two tank wings, plus six squadrons of anti-tank guns, were still firmly in control. Even if the two armored divisions of the Anti-Japanese Union appeared on the battlefields of Lubei and Pinghan lines, he was not without a little countermeasure.

With the determination to play all the hole cards, General Okamura Ninji issued orders one after another. The battle situation in Northwest Lu and North Lu, where the forces of both sides have been used to the limit, although there is no big change. However, the war situation in the southeast of Shanxi Province and the northern Henan region has undergone earth-shaking changes. And the changes in the entire battle situation caused by this can also be described as a sudden storm.
