After receiving this telegram from Ouyang Jishan, Yang Zhen was so angry that he almost smashed the table into pieces. What was wrong with Liu Changshun? He had repeatedly issued orders to him to immediately mobilize a division of troops to quickly seize Kangbao. , Shangyi front line, sent reinforcements to the direction of Jining, but he only sent one regiment to handle errands in the direction of Kangbao.
Does he think that his reinforced regiment with only more than 4,000 men can defeat an army that has had two infantry brigades transferred, but its basic strength is still there, with a total strength of more than 5,000, and there are solid fortifications to rely on, and An independent mixed brigade was strengthened with a large number of artillery.
Or did he think that Chen Hanzhang's two infantry regiments and one tank regiment could capture the important town of Datong in northern Shanxi while fighting against the surrounding Japanese forces from all sides? What he did was not even considered an errand. What was Liu Changshun thinking in his head? , it’s nice to say that he is short-sighted.
However, although Yang Zhen was furious because of Liu Changshun's overt and treacherous behavior, Yang Zhen immediately calmed down. He did not immediately transfer Du Kaishan to replace Liu Changshun. He only asked someone to immediately find Du Kaishan and hand over Ouyang Jishan's telegram to him. He didn't pay any attention to Du Kaishan.
Yang Zhen is not in the mood to talk to Du Kaishan yet and ask him to take office immediately. The most important thing for Yang Zhen now is how to adjust Chen Hanzhang's plan according to the development and changes of the situation to avoid Yi Liangpin's death. The troops were trapped under the fortified city of Datong, delaying the development of the entire war situation and handing over the initiative to the Japanese army.
With Liu Changshun's delay, he, the closest available reinforcement to the entire Suinan battlefield, was the last to launch the operation. If Liu Changshun started taking action now, it would probably be difficult for him to arrive in a short time. Although Ouyang Jishan Wang Minggui and Wang Minggui have taken certain measures to make amends, but it is difficult to recover the lost time.
Based on the fact that the currently scheduled reinforcements would probably not arrive within the expected time, Yang Zhen made certain adjustments to the combat plan for the detour troops and ordered Chen Hanzhang to adjust the deployment immediately so that Yi Liangpin would not continue to fight with Jining. The Japanese army blocked Jining's eastward reinforcement road, opened the way for the southern exit, and opened up the road for Jining's Japanese army to withdraw to Fengzhen.
If the 69th Division of the Japanese Army chooses to withdraw southward from Fengzhen when its eastward advance is no longer possible, and first defeat Chen Hanzhang in Fengzhen and re-establish contact with the Japanese forces on the same front in Datong, then concentrate the effective forces of him and Yi Liangpin, Taking advantage of the fast movement of its mechanized cavalry troops, they adopted the tactics of flanking attacks from both sides and fought a battle of annihilation along the route from Jining to Fengzhen.
Or there is no need to wait for reinforcements on the frontal battlefield on the western front, and they can completely arrive at the Jining battlefield to participate in the battle. After the reinforcements arrive at the Xinghe line, they can directly let go of the encirclement on the east and let them advance eastward. Yi Liangpin's troops can cooperate with the reinforcements and Completely annihilate them in the field battle.
In the current Jining city, with the main force of the Sixty-ninth Division entering the city, a large number of Japanese troops have gathered. Coupled with Jining's city wall, it is not much worse than Datong, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance is in the entire Suinan battlefield. On the premise that the troops cannot complete the siege operation in a short period of time, it is not in the interest of the current Anti-Japanese Alliance to fight a stalemate with the Japanese army.
No matter when the reinforcements arrive, they should try their best to avoid fortified operations. This is Yang Zhen's consistent thinking. Yang Zhen told Chen Hanzhang to think of more ways to mobilize the Japanese troops out of the city and use the impact of the tank and cavalry mechanized clusters to annihilate them in the field. This Sixty-ninth Division is currently more beneficial to the entire Suinan war situation.
Use the impact of the armored cluster to eat up the 69th Division in the shortest time, so as to stabilize the entire Suinan battle situation as soon as possible, so that the troops can free up their hands, or quickly go south for reinforcements, which are currently in Datong Mu Changqiu, who was fighting hard on the outside, could go east and penetrate directly behind the Suidong battlefield to complete the encirclement of the 110th Division and completely resolve the Suidong battle situation.
At the same time, Yang Zhen told Chen Hanzhang that a main division and a brigade of the advancing army from the Cha'nan battlefield were advancing westward. After these two troops arrived, they would directly reinforce the Datong battlefield. At the same time, the headquarters would be further strengthened. The aviation force was in Suinan and Shanxi. North's participation in the war.
However, before the reinforcements arrive at Xinghe, the Sixty-ninth Division must not be allowed to advance eastward, because once the Sixty-ninth Division arrives at Xinghe, reinforcements from the 110th Division can be made to the northeast and toward Xinghe east of Jining. direction, it can directly outflank the flanks of Cha'nan battlefield.
There are five divisions on the front battlefield on the western front, so there is no need to worry for the time being, but if the 69th Division reaches Xinghe, it can directly contact the Japanese troops on the Zhangjiakou front line. If their attack direction is not eastward Shangyi, but penetrate Zhangbei along the line of the Outer Great Wall, then the flanks of the entire Chanan battlefield will be completely exposed.
After issuing the adjustment order to Chen Hanzhang, Yang Zhen personally drafted a telegram to Ouyang Jishan. In the telegram, Yang Zhen sent a reply to Ouyang Jishan. In the telegram, Yang Zhen except for special cases Apart from two words, nothing was said.
In other words, Yang Zhen adopted a tacit attitude towards Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui's private adjustment without the consent of the military chief, because Yang Zhen knew very well that if reinforcements could not be added to the Kangbao front line in a short time, Then the Kangbao front line can only be an offensive that outweighs the gains, and whether the Kangbao front line can succeed is directly related to the speed and efficiency of reinforcements to the Suinan battlefield.
Although the compensation methods adopted by Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui were somewhat inconsistent with the regulations and orders, they did their best. The key issue now is that judging from the current battle situation, Liu Changshun is no longer suitable. Continue to command the frontal operations on the Western Front.
After sending the telegram to Ouyang Jishan, Yang Zhencai called Du Kaishan to ask him if the headquarters transferred him to the Western Front to replace Liu Changshun, how should he handle the current war situation, and what would he do with the subsequent development of the war situation. Yang Zhen thought that Du Kaishan had enough time to think about his plan in the past few days.
Facing the sharp gaze in Yang Zhen's eyes, Du Kaishan hesitated for a moment and then said: "No. 1, from the current point of view, although Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui's approach violates our regulations, it is also the only way they can currently do it. As far as the duties of political commissar and chief of staff are concerned, they have done a pretty good job."
"Although Lao Liu's ideas are somewhat stubborn and lacking in overall perspective, from his position, it cannot be said that they are all wrong. Encircle and annihilate the 26th Division, and completely encircle the 110th Division. , and it is indeed the focus of the entire Western Front war situation."
Before Du Kaishan could continue speaking, his words were directly interrupted by Yang Zhen: "I'm not asking you about your treatment of Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui, and you don't need to defend Liu Changshun. What I'm asking you is, based on your From my point of view, how should I handle the current situation on the Western Front? Don’t be cunning and don’t be afraid of offending others.”
Du Kaishan was stunned by Yang Zhen's words. When he mentioned Liu Changshun, the coldness in No. 1's words shocked him. He knew that Liu Changshun would probably be completely relegated to the sidelines from now on, at least from now on. From now on, he will no longer appear on the battlefield.
As early as after receiving the telegram from Ouyang Jishan, Du Kaishan clearly saw that Liu Changshun only transferred a reinforcement group to Kangbao to fool the headquarters and No. 1. Du Kaishan had already guessed that Liu Changshun was probably going to be in trouble. Because it’s not just a leader with a distinctive personality like No. 1, who can hardly tolerate his subordinates doing this.
Even if anyone were to change, as long as they are not the kind of military chiefs who are not in vain, can not command the troops below, but can control the troops more closely, even those warlords will never tolerate the actions of their subordinates, let alone , in a well-organized resistance alliance.
That's why he wanted to defend Liu Changshun and fight for Liu Changshun as much as possible. After all, we are all old brothers who rushed out of the Japanese germ warfare base together. As the military commander of the frontal battlefield on the Western Front, Liu Changshun must have done this. He has his own plans.
But No. 1 interrupted his words. He obviously didn't want to hear any words of defense for Liu Changshun. He knew that No. 1 was really angry. Even if No. 1 thought about his old relationship again, besides betrayal, this kind of relationship had already reached the point where The bottom line behavior of No. 1 is also unacceptable to No. 1 no matter what.
According to the current attitude of No. 1, after being transferred back to Northern Manchuria, Liu Changshun can be given a false position as deputy chief of staff at the headquarters, which is probably a good result. Maybe he will fight it to the end, but it is not impossible. Thinking of this, Du Kaishan He let out a long sigh in his heart and gave up the idea of continuing to defend Liu Changshun.
After thinking about it, Du Kaishan said: "No. 1, actually I heard the deployment you just made. I think the best way at present is to implement it according to the plan you have made. But there is one thing that I think we should pay attention to. Shanxi's First Army has three divisions, two independent mixed brigades, one thirty-sixth infantry regiment and one Fenxi detachment."
"Even if most of the First Army has to control other places in Shanxi and ensure the security of the Tongpu Line and the Zhengtai Line, I think they can at least deploy another division, even in a short period of time Within this period, we can also organize an independent mixed brigade."
"At the same time, for the Japanese troops in Shanxi and the hinterland of North China, the Zhengtai Railway allows the Japanese troops to quickly reinforce the Shanxi battlefield at any time. In other words, if our army invests heavy troops in the direction of Datong, the focus of the entire North China battlefield will be concentrated on Chanan and Northern Shanxi."
"Of course, these two battlefields are actually one battlefield. Compared with Suiyuan, the North China Front Army and the Japanese base camp will never give up on Chanan and northern Shanxi. Chanan is the gateway to the Beijing-Tianjin region, and northern Shanxi is not only Shanxi The gateway is also a overlooking point of the Hebei Plain."
"Once Shanxi is lost in northern Shanxi, it will be difficult to defend Shanxi. If Shanxi cannot be defended, our army can cross the Taihang Mountains and penetrate directly into the Hebei Plain at any time. Although the Taihang Mountains are far more steep than the mountainous areas in the Northeast, since ancient times, It has been the natural barrier of the Hebei Plain since then."
"But as China's main east-west transportation channel since ancient times, the Taihang Mountains have many passes for us to use, and the entire Taihang Mountains, Wutai Mountains, and Hengshan Mountains are the main bases of our army in North China. When we cross the Taihang Mountains to fight, it is almost equivalent to fighting in the Taihang Mountains. Fighting on the inside."
"We know this very well, and the Japanese army knows it even better, so no matter what, they will not easily give up northern Shanxi, or even the natural dangers of Shanxi. When the Sichuan army came out to fight in Sichuan, the first battlefield was the World War II zone. Although I have never been to northern Shanxi , but I still know the topography and topography of Shanxi very well, it is really a river and a mountain inside and outside."
"For us, if we occupy northern Shanxi, it will directly threaten the entire Shanxi. If we occupy Shanxi, then Henan, Hebei, and even Shandong will be threatened by our army. In other words, compared with the current situation of running quickly and taking steady steps, the police will On the southern battlefield, our move to seize Datong made the Japanese army really feel threatened."
