When Chen Hanzhang's troops forcibly outflanked northern Shanxi, the boss felt that Yang Zhen's move this time was too greedy. The boss was most worried about Yang Zhen's risk-taking. How long can it last? If the stamina is insufficient, will there be any problems with his arrangement of being heavy on both ends and light on the middle?
The Central Committee is very clear about the total number of troops of the Anti-League. According to the current deployment, the boss is very clear that the strength of the Anti-Union has been used to the extreme. Once there is any problem on any of the three fronts, actually four fronts, the Anti-Alliance has already There are no soldiers to adjust.
In other words, the Anti-Japanese Alliance currently has no reserves, which is undoubtedly very dangerous for such a large-scale battle. Without the reserves, if there is a problem on any battlefield, the Anti-Japanese Alliance will not even be able to deal with it. Take, this is what the boss is most dissatisfied with. Even a battalion commander can see such a problem. Why does he, the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, not take it seriously at all?
I heard that the boss's tone was somewhat angry because of his stubbornness, but Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Boss, although the progress of this battle is somewhat beyond our expectations, especially the counterattack force invested by the Japanese army on the Xinjing battlefield The number and scale can be said to have greatly exceeded our expectations, but at present, the development of the entire war situation is still within our expectations."
"The current number of casualties is indeed very large, but the number of casualties of the Japanese army is even greater. Although the Japanese army is counterattacking very fiercely now, the strength of the offensive force has obviously shown a kind of fatigue. Such a large number of casualties, for the Kwantung Army, It is also a kind of pressure. Now we compare with the Japanese army to see who can last for the last five minutes."
"Moreover, our armored forces on the Xinjing battlefield have now been freed up and are moving south one after another. As long as our new armored forces are in place, we are prepared to adopt a frontal pressure and deep outflanking posture from both wings, forcing the Kwantung Army to voluntarily abandon Siping. street."
"Now the main force of the Second Armored Division has regrouped completely between Gongzhuling and Xiaochengzi. It is currently undergoing renovations and adjusting ammunition. Although the losses of the Second Armored Division were relatively large before, the vitality and foundation are still there. The current amount of equipment , the division still maintains its combat effectiveness."
"It seems that at least one-third of the damaged tanks can be put back on the battlefield after emergency repairs. Although the division's infantry has suffered greater losses, we have transferred the Blue Army Simulation Regiment from the armored training base and strengthened it to this division. , now except for the battle-damaged equipment that cannot be replenished for the time being, the division's combat effectiveness has basically been restored."
"The offensive on the frontal battlefield has been handed over to the two independent tank battalions vacated from the Xinjing battlefield. Now, the Second Armored Brigade has been supplemented with M3 light tanks assisted by the United States. In the next step, we are preparing to concentrate on the Second Armored Brigade. Turn around and head north, adopt a flanking tactic with the main force of the Second Armored Division, and use tanks to fight the Japanese army."
"As long as the two Japanese divisions west of Siping Street are defeated, the overall situation of the entire Northeast battlefield in this battle will be decided. Boss, you are right. We don't necessarily have to take Siping Street. In fact, we don't necessarily have to fight for the United States and Britain. Bearing too much pressure on the Japanese army, if the situation in the Northeast War deteriorates too quickly, it will also limit the Japanese army's investment in the Pacific battlefield."
"We will hold back some Japanese troops, but if we involve too much, we will cause trouble for ourselves. The Japanese don't tell us how far we should go. I have a standard in my heart. I will not relieve the pressure on the United States and Britain in order to support them. , and it really hurts us."
"Privately speaking, if the Japanese army is hindered too much and affects the Japanese army's investment in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, then we can say that it is just causing trouble for ourselves. Without the pressure, the Americans can start from Expand the army calmly, where can we get the assistance we need?"
"Boss, don't worry. I know very well when to stop. We can still bear the current number of casualties in a short period of time. I will also grasp the balance between the Northeast battlefield and the Northern Shanxi battlefield." At the same time, we will also do a good job in allocating troops on the entire battlefield."
"Now on the entire front line starting from the China-North Korea border in the east to the Rehe battlefield in northern Shanxi in the west, our army has relied on the Nuruerhu Mountain line and has shifted to defense along the entire line. As long as we do not launch an in-depth attack along the Beining Railway and try to cut off As for the connection between the Japanese troops inside and outside the Kwantung, the Kwantung Army, whose main force is currently involved in the northern front, will not invest too much force in fighting for this direction."
"Now our troops in the direction of Jehol are actually in the position of the general reserve. Although they cannot mobilize too many troops, it is still completely possible to mobilize one division or two or three brigades in the direction of Chengde. Yes, I also know very well that the direction of Jehol is right at the waist of our army and controls the main channel for our army's westward advance."
"The entire Rehe battlefield occupies a very important position based on the current situation of our army. Once it is broken through by the Japanese army, our army will be cut into two sections. For the Kwantung Army, the Rehe battlefield is equally important because By following the trend, we can directly cut off the Beining Railway and cut off the land connection between the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in the Kwantung."
"But boss, the most dangerous thing right now is the safest. Why we have already captured Xinjing and are still maintaining the offensive on the Northeast battlefield? A large part of the reason is to prevent the Kwantung Army from having time to look west and ensure the Jehol battlefield The security of this joint headquarters of our military."
"What is the weakness of the Japanese army? Their field air defense capabilities and anti-tank capabilities are extremely poor. In addition to the Soviet-made T-26 tanks, almost none of their main 37 rapid-fire guns that our army is currently equipped with can penetrate. As long as the main armored force of our army is on the battlefield south of Xinjing for a day, they will not dare to easily transfer troops from the frontal battlefield to reinforce other directions."
"What is the advantage of our army is that the number and performance of tanks are far superior to that of the Japanese army. The Rehe battlefield is mountainous, and the Chanan battlefield is equally mountainous. These two battlefields are not suitable for large-scale investment of armored troops. It's okay to use a small number of tanks to coordinate the attack, but using a large number of armored troops, apart from assault, can only consume your own strength bit by bit in the mountains."
"Although the surrounding area of Xinjing is not a plain, it is in the area where hills and plains meet, which is very suitable for the centralized use of a large number of tanks currently equipped by our army. From Xinjing to Fengtian, which is only a few hundred kilometers away, our army's tank troops Once we break through the Japanese defense line south of Xinjing, we can reach Fengtian City in a short time."
"So even if the Japanese army knows that our offensive is a bluff, they can only bite the bullet and continue to invest troops in this direction. The reason why we continue to launch offensives on the battlefield south of Xinjing is to have this effect. The army dare not use the main force in any other direction, not within the pass, not in Chanan, not even in the Rehe battlefield in the northeast."
"Xinjing and Siping Street are very close to the Japanese military industrial center of South Manchuria. It can be said that the straight-line distance between Xinjing and Fengtian means that our armored group can reach Fengtian along the Zhongchang Railway in two days and nights, and Fengtian The military industrial base is crucial for the Japanese army to maintain this war."
"Because the Japanese army cannot afford to lose the industrial base in South Manchuria. Not to mention our army taking Fengtian, even if we attack near Fengtian, they cannot afford the consequences. They will lose South Manchuria and the Japanese army's arms production, especially ammunition production." , will drop by one-third, which is the most fatal blow to the Japanese army."
"As long as our army's offensive on the battlefields around Xinjing lasts for one day, the Japanese army will not dare to move even a single regiment from this battlefield to the Rehe battlefield, even though they know full well about the Rehe battlefield and will continue to fight against our army on the western front until It is important, but compared with South Manchuria, they cannot tolerate the loss of South Manchuria in Rehe."
"I think now we have shifted to a defensive posture in Rehe, relying on the front line of Nuruerhu Mountain and Laoha River, and confronting the two Japanese divisions deployed in Fuxin, Chaoyang, Jianping, and Beipiao. As long as our army does not Going south, the Japanese army will not easily take the initiative to attack, because even if we transfer some of our troops, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to retake Jehol by relying on these two divisions."
"Boss, I have the old foundation I laid down during the previous battles. Although I can't guarantee that I will completely frighten the Japanese army, I still have the foundation to make them suspicious and dare not take action even though they know that our troops are empty. The Japanese army suffered too much from us strategically. Now they are either afraid of being beaten or frightened. At least until the end of the battle, these two Japanese divisions dare not move."
"What's more, our army's reserves are exhausted, but the Japanese army's reserves are not sufficient now. Most of the Kwantung Army's effective forces have been invested in the Xinjing battlefield. In the entire hinterland of southern Manchuria, the Japanese army only has one division of troops. We The military commander turned all the troops on the battlefield of Jehol into defensive positions. He was relieved that the Japanese army was not our army."
"As for the location of the Cha'nan advance army, although it is at the junction of our army's two major battlefields and is very close to Pingjin and Tianjin, one thing is certain. This is the most trouble-free war zone. The two bosses have experience in mountainous mobile warfare. The current equipment of the advancing army has also been greatly improved."
"After several months of intensive training, the command capabilities of cadres at all levels have also been greatly improved. Mainly, the infantry and artillery coordination capabilities and ground-air coordination capabilities have been substantially improved, and they basically have the capabilities of regular combat. , the required abilities and qualities.”
“The number of artillery at all levels in the army has been fully achieved, especially mountain artillery and mortars suitable for mountain operations. The equipment is large in number. The light weapons are all German-made and Polish-made rifle machine guns, and anti-Japanese and German-made submachine guns suitable for close combat. The quantity of equipment is also fully equipped, and the amount of ammunition is extremely sufficient."
"As long as they don't have any big loopholes in their command, on this battlefield dominated by mountains, even if the Japanese army invests two more divisions, it will be difficult to change the current battle situation, and with the advance of the two veteran commanders Judging from experience and capabilities, the chance of a sufficiently large vulnerability appearing is extremely slim."
"And as long as Zhangjiakou is captured and the direct connection between Cha'nan and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is opened up, their entire line will be turned to defense in that direction. With the current advancing army, there are four field columns, twelve brigades, and four directly under the control of Cha'nan. Judging from the strength and equipment of the artillery regiment, two light tank regiments, and the cooperation of the main force of the remaining troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, they will rely on the mountains of Malaysia to switch to defense, and there will not be any big problems in a short time. .”
"As for the battlefield in northern Shanxi, Boss, our army has launched a mobile defense with its absolute superiority in armored clusters and mobility advantages. It is difficult for the Japanese offensive to make progress in a short period of time. Mountain operations have formed a complete line of defense against our army. Although it is difficult, it is also not easy to form a complete offensive against the Japanese army."
"As long as they cannot launch a simultaneous offensive, I can rely on my superior mobility to lure the enemy deep and set up a mobile ambush to attack the leader. We are not trying to annihilate too many Japanese troops on the battlefield in northern Shanxi. I just want to Just make them scared."
