Regarding the boss's persuasion, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Boss, don't worry, I don't have anything I can't think of, I still understand the truth that the meal has to be eaten in one bite and the road has to be walked step by step." At present, although the Japanese are on the scene, the decline is already obvious. But after a year or two, there is still no big problem. ”

"At least until their navy is all sunk, the Japanese still have some power to spare. If we solve it in a short period of time, we don't have the ability or the capital. You're right, this campaign has indeed reached the stage where it should be brought to an end. ”

"This time, after such a long period of fierce fighting on the Jilu border and the Pinghan line, not only the fatigue of the troops, but also the casualties have reached their peak. Even in all other aspects, we have reached the apex of support. You're right, if you continue to fight regardless of the odds, I'm afraid it will be us who can't stand it first. ”

"In fact, I asked Du Kaishan to forcibly intersperse with the Jinpu line, forming an encirclement posture of the 65th Division on the Jinpu Line and the 22nd Division on the Dezhou battlefield. The real goal, so to speak, was not really to annihilate these two Japanese divisions. The real purpose is to scare the snakes and make them think that they are behind their backs, threatened by our two armored divisions. ”

"Under the inability to resist, he took the initiative to abandon the entire Lubei battlefield north of the Yellow River. Our army, on the other hand, took advantage of its retreat and adopted the method of cutting through the chaos with a quick sword. In the field battle, the impact of the tank cluster was used to encircle and annihilate a part of its troops, so that the Japanese army lost the ability to counterattack Lubei at least in a short time. ”

"After all, luring the Japanese army to break away from the fortification group and fight under the terrain of the Lubei Plain is far more conducive to giving full play to the power of our army's armored forces than attacking fortified positions. It can not only effectively reduce civilian casualties, but also greatly speed up the process of the campaign. At least it can save more than half of the time and material consumption compared to attacking fortified battles, and I still have this confidence. ”

"This time, Du Kaishan's interspersed operation in the direction of the flank and rear of the Dezhou battlefield, the oil carried and consumed, is already seven percent of all our oil reserves in the entire North China battlefield. The remaining thirty percent of the fuel can only barely meet the current tactical supply needs. ”

"The entire campaign has been fought so far, and our current existing oil reserves in the entire North China battlefield are simply unable to support us to take further offensives. In other words, to maintain our current tank offensive, we are about to run out of fuel for the most basic material needs. ”

"The main reasons for this, first of all, are our own oil fields and refineries, which are currently quite limited in capacity to meet our basic needs. The remaining shortfall is still very dependent on the supply of Americans. In particular, high-grade aviation fuel is basically still supplied by the Americans. ”

"Subject to the entire strategic approach of the Americans, and the fact that the export channel was still in the hands of the Soviets, there were often untimely situations in transportation. Since the start of this battle, we have only received 30% of the amount promised by the Americans, that is, about 10,000 tons of gasoline. ”

"The second point is the problem of capacity, even if the oil production can meet the demand, but the capacity cannot meet the demand. All the materials we need for the current war, except for food and other materials, basically have to be met by the northeastern base areas. ”

"In particular, ammunition and fuel are all transported by thousands of miles from the northeast. At present, the direct connection between Northeast China and North China has not yet been opened. Although the line north of Xinlitun on the Dazheng Railway Line has been opened, the route from Xinlitun to Jinzhou is still in the hands of the Japanese army. ”

"All our strategic materials must be transferred from North Manchurian to Tongliao by railway, and then transported by road to the front line of Chengde. Then through the Gucheng Railway and the Pinghan Railway, it was transferred to the North China battlefield. And from Tongliao to Chengde, you can only rely on a large number of trucks and a dilapidated dirt road. ”

"Although this road was renovated with all our efforts last year, the weather has gradually entered spring, and the frozen soil in the northeast region has been greatly cultivated in winter, resulting in the road condition that was already not good. Even a considerable part of the road section has become a pile of mud ponds, and the situation of road slurry and collapse abounds. ”

"The same unoptimistic road conditions in North China are constantly limiting the capacity of our army. Not to mention the considerable loss of the trucks used to supply the troops, the time spent on the road has also been greatly extended. The poor road conditions have caused the capacity of our army, which is actually declining at the moment. ”

"The large number of armored and motorized troops we are currently concentrating in North China, as well as a large number of aviation units, have a great need for fuel and ammunition. These tank clusters, in particular, consume a lot of fuel. Coupled with a large number of aviation units and automobiles, the fuel consumption of the entire North China battlefield every day is an astronomical amount. ”

"With a large amount of other supplies to be transferred, our fuel supply has been barely enough since the beginning of the war. As the capacity continues to decline, as of yesterday, all the oil stocks in the entire North China battlefield have basically bottomed out. ”

"If all tank units on the eastern and western fronts are guaranteed to operate, they can be used for up to three days. If the Du Kaishan combat cluster is unilaterally guaranteed, it can be used for up to five days. At the moment, we are not able to produce our own jet gasoline, and the amount of reserves has dropped to a dangerous number. ”

"Unless this situation is effectively alleviated in road conditions, it is difficult to change the trend of declining capacity in a short period of time. In the fight, our tank clusters can only be transferred off the battlefield. In addition to Soviet-style aircraft, at least more than half of the American-made and British-made Zuò combat aircraft equipped could not participate in the war. ”

"If the tank cluster is unable to participate in the battle, we will pay a big price for continuing the attack. And this price is something that our troops, which currently suffer heavy casualties, are simply unable to support. After encircling and annihilating the 100 th Division, Chen Hanzhang's unit basically lost its offensive capability because of excessive casualties in continuous combat. ”

"Relying on Du Kaishan's department alone, even if there is enough oil, it cannot meet the needs. Even if we put Tao Jingfei's two divisions into the offensive. However, in the face of a completely several hundred kilometers long front from the Bohai Bay to the Jinpu line, the strength of two divisions alone is a drop in the bucket. ”

"So the interspersed orders I gave to Du Kaishan were just feints, playing the role of striking the grass or knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. In order to cover up the current state of our army's weak follow-up, and at the same time force the Japanese army to retreat on its own initiative. After all, they still have quite scruples about the impact ability of our tank clusters. ”

"Although we are now making every effort to repair the railway line from Tongliao to Chifeng and Jining, the railway cannot be repaired all at once. If the construction of this railway can be completed, it will be of considerable benefit to our army in transferring supplies and troops from the northeast to North China. But this railway, which has only been built to Ao Han Banner, cannot be counted on, at least for the time being. ”

"In a situation where fuel supplies are already running low and ammunition consumption is increasing. I came up with such a tactic of startling the snake, that is, to force the Japanese army, which was already quite afraid of our army's tank and armored clusters. In the case of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, he took the initiative to retreat. ”

"At the same time, we can take advantage of the gecko's tail breaking tactics that the Japanese army habitually adopts when retreating. Even if it can't solve most of these two divisions, it can weaken the strength of one of them. At least in a short period of time, the ability of the Japanese army to counterattack Lubei will be completely cut off. ”

"I just didn't expect that the Japanese army would come up with such a move when they were worried about the pursuit of our tank cluster. He dared to take hundreds of thousands of innocent people hostage to me as hostages for their retreat. Now that the Japanese army has come up with such a move, no matter what our real intentions are, they can no longer be carried out. ”

"I'm afraid that my strategic intentions have been seen through by the commanders of these two divisions of the Japanese army. Judging from the current situation, although these two divisions have been leaning together back to back, at least they are much stronger in terms of strength. But it has become a lonely army, hanging alone north of the Yellow River. ”

"They stay on the line from Dezhou to Yucheng, as long as our army cuts off the Tianjin-Pudong railway. In the case that it is no longer possible for the Twelfth Army to send them additional reinforcements, they will be trapped on the Texas battlefield, and our army can eat them in a leisurely bite. Retreat, under the terrain of the Lubei Plain, can only be disrupted by our army's tank clusters, and then divided by our army and eaten in one bite. ”

"Although their two divisions are outnumbered, on the plains, the two-legged men can't outrun our tank tracks. And holding infantry on such terrain and ramming with a cluster of tanks, the consequences of which they themselves are quite clear. Once retreated, it could only be completely crushed by our army. ”

"This is not a factor in how tenacious the will to fight is, and the gap in equipment is not something that can be completely made up by human will."

"I am afraid that this is precisely the reason why they have adopted this method, threatening us with the lives of hundreds of thousands of Chinese, so that we can throw a mouse trap and ensure their safe evacuation." However, in such a situation at present, although our army has lost a lot of points militarily, it can get a lot of extra points in politics. ”

"Boss, the Japanese army came up with such a hand, and I am indeed a little depressed. If we were to fight on Japanese soil, would we still be the ones who would be blackmailed? I'm afraid that the Japanese would never do such a despicable thing. Now I feel quite uncomfortable to see our compatriots being taken hostage by others. ”

"The common people feed us soldiers with blood and sweat, and when they need us, we are helpless and can only be led by our own enemies. It's normal for this feeling to be uncomfortable. I am a soldier, and my duty is to defend my country. It's not those politicians who only talk and point fingers. ”

"Watching my own people suffer, I am still indifferent, especially at this critical moment. But don't worry, boss, I'm not so cautious. It will not affect my judgment and control of the situation because of such a thing at this time. If I didn't have this mentality, I wouldn't have been able to become a qualified soldier. ”

"Although this time I have some pockets, I was blackmailed by the enemy at this time. The running of a 65th Division and most of the 22nd Division may have some unexpected impact on the future battlefield in North China. But as long as we are strong enough, even if we have these two more divisions, we will not have more enemy troops there. Without these two divisions, the Japanese army will still transfer new troops to fill the vacancies. ”

"This time, we took the entire Jizhong Plain and completely solved the food problem of the North China brothers. And to seize the Jilu border and southern Hebei regions, it is already enough for us. In addition to Tianjin's textile industry, the problem of clothing, food, housing, and transportation for the North China fraternal troops this time can be regarded as a complete solution. As for whether it is perfect or not, so many good things in the world have fallen on our heads? Those of us on the battlefield do our part well, but we just have a clear conscience. ”
