After drafting the telegram to the Jinsui Military Region and the Shanxi-Sui Border Region Administrative Office, the boss thought for a moment but then raised his head and said: "Comrade Yang Jicai, this left detachment has never shown its face. It has not been a day or two. Judging from your position, , they can completely block your raid on Taiyuan and block our transfer of Taiyuan industrial equipment and workers to northwest Shanxi."
"But this Zuojian detachment did nothing during this period of time. Even though you penetrated into Taiyuan City and successfully transferred all equipment and personnel to the hinterland of northwestern Shanxi by road, the Japanese army has always been There is no such thing as an attitude of staying motionless when friendly forces are in trouble."
"Even if they do not send troops to rescue Taiyuan, they can still intercept my evacuated personnel and equipment. You must know that based on the current troops of the Jinsui Military Region staying in northwest Shanxi and the number of troops escorted during the retreat, even if they are discovered It will be difficult for us to mobilize sufficient reinforcements in a short period of time."
"If when you lead the last batch of troops to evacuate, they attack eastward along the road from Jingle to Xinkou, or directly attack the Shilingguan line. They can even directly intercept the last batch of your troops to evacuate. On the Tongpu railway line, but the Zuojian detachment did nothing."
"It's a bit impossible to just watch us successfully complete the retreat. As far as I know, the Japanese army has never had the habit of talking about fat people. I have never seen it in so many years of fighting with the Japanese army. I have seen Japanese soldiers who refused to save them."
"You said that they retreated here to hide and wait. It is possible, but now I am absolutely sure that they are here. To be honest, it is difficult to make sense. We have made such a big noise in and outside Taiyuan City. This Zuojian detachment As the main force of the regular field division of the Japanese army, he was just there to watch the excitement, which is difficult to explain."
"I'm not doubting your judgment, but you have to know that the impact of this judgment is quite huge. At the same time, in order to deal with this judgment, we have to mobilize a lot of energy and troops, and even adjust the original entire campaign deployment. Because the matter is so important, Comrade Chen Hanzhang and I have to be cautious when making decisions."
In response to the boss's rhetorical question, Yang Jicai smiled and said: "Boss, this Zuojian detachment is not coming for the Datong battlefield at all. If it is a reinforcement battlefield, they will not go to Wuzhai and Shenchi to enter northern Shanxi, even if they want to outflank the Datong battlefield. On the flanks of our army, taking this route is also a bit far away. The Japanese have always been very shrewd in tactics, and coupled with their limited strategic support capabilities, they will not sacrifice the near for the far."
"Their real purpose is not to rescue Datong at all, but to go to Jining's 69th Division. If this Zuojian detachment merges with Jining's 69th Division, the entire army goes south to fight with Datong. Their ultimate goal is to attack from the north and south and completely defeat our army on the Datong battlefield in one fell swoop."
"It's just that they didn't expect that our army's reinforcements would move so quickly. As a result, the Zuojian detachment only reached Shenchi and collided head-on with the reinforcements commanded by Chief of Staff Wang. In fact, if Chief of Staff Wang and two division commanders had not brought reinforcements in time, , allowing this Zuojian detachment to bypass the front battlefield of Datong, exit the Great Wall via Zuoyun, and join the 69th Division on the Jining front line is our real trouble."
"Our army fought hard in the Datong battlefield. Although it had an absolute advantage in firepower, the troops invested were only slightly more than the Japanese troops in Datong City. If the Japanese troops outside Datong were added, our army was still slightly inferior in number. In the end, our army
The advantage lies not in the strength of the troops but in the mobility capabilities after equipping a large number of trucks and tanks."
"But even so, we suffered a lot in the tough battle against Datong. We fought for half a month before we finally won. Moreover, in this tough battle, our army suffered heavy losses. Among them, except for our army
In addition to the insufficient number of troops devoted to the attack, there are many other reasons."
"The Japanese army has occupied Datong for several years. After years of painstaking accumulation, it has completely transformed Datong into a fortress and stored a large amount of food and ammunition. In addition, although our army's surprise attack interrupted the entire Japanese army's combat sequence, it also
Part of the Japanese troops stayed in Datong City, which invisibly increased the number of defenders in Datong."
"The fact that the Battle of Datong has dragged on for so long is actually quite detrimental to our army. Once the Zuojian detachment merges with the 69th Division and takes advantage of our army's lack of strength, it is unable to seize the entire northern Shanxi before taking Datong.
And to form a complete line of defense, the entire army will go south and engage in a decisive battle with our army on the outskirts of Datong, which will make our entire army passive."
"Okamura Neji mobilized the left detachment to go north, not to rescue the Datong battlefield. I think it was to respond to the main force of the 69th Division trapped by our army in Jining. Datong city defenses were also taken into account, and the city had sufficient ammunition and supplies.
, in Okamura Neiji’s opinion, there is no problem in sticking to it for a period of time.”
"But after Chief of Staff Wang's reinforcements arrived and blocked its route to the north, and Commander Chen also wiped out the main force of the 69th Division first, the battlefield situation in Datong has fundamentally changed. This Zuojian detachment has
, not only is it no longer possible to go north, it may even involve yourself."
"It's just that although the road to the north has been blocked, as long as the Zuojian detachment stays on the inner line of the Great Wall, our army will inevitably devote part of its energy to watching them. These are not thousands of puppet troops, but thousands of well-equipped and trained troops.
The well-trained Japanese army, no matter how reluctant our army is, must send troops to monitor them, so as to reduce the pressure on the Japanese army in the direction of Jinzhong before new reinforcements arrive."
"This Zuojian detachment secretly evacuated, probably at the end of the Datong Campaign. It was meaningless to stay behind the Shenchi and Wuzhai front lines. In addition, Commander Chen mobilized some troops to cover my evacuation and seized it.
Ningwu, Yunxian and Pingdiquan on the Beitong-Pu Railway also played a role in alerting the enemy."
"Although Commander Chen said that his original goal was simply to cover my evacuation, seizing Ningwu and Yunxian County formed a semi-encirclement situation for the Zuojian detachment to a certain extent. It should be that the Japanese army was worried that the Zuojian detachment would be
Our army rushed to eat the new Japanese reinforcements before they arrived, so we took action in advance and allowed them to quickly retreat southward along the Guanhui Mountains."
"Boss, I think we are far from the time you mentioned. The current situation of the entire Shanxi battlefield is indeed a bit strange. There are enemies among us, and we are among the enemies. It seems a bit chaotic, and the entire battlefield is formed.
You fight yours, I fight mine, each has his or her own goals."
"Our army in northern Shanxi is launching an attack on the Japanese reinforcements in northeastern Shanxi. In southeastern Shanxi, the Japanese army is launching a raid on our Taihang and Taiyue base areas. However, the initiative in the entire Shanxi battlefield is still in the hands of our army. Our army has occupied northern Shanxi. Based on the favorable terrain, it formed a whole with the advancing army in Cha'nan, and together with the base area in northwestern Shanxi, it has formed a character structure in the entire North China battlefield, forming a situation of internal and external cooperation with the Taihang Military Region in southeastern Shanxi."
"I think Okamura Neji created this situation by himself just to fish in troubled waters, deliberately distract our army's attention and strength, and regain control of the initiative on the battlefield in Shanxi, because he knows very well that he now wants to recapture northern Shanxi. A frontal attack alone is almost impossible."
"Our army has now taken Datong and solved the entire Suidong battlefield, the entire northern Shanxi, and Suidong battlefield. Our army has all hands free. Although the losses among all participating troops are heavy, the basic vitality is still there and the combat effectiveness is still there. It’s still quite intact.”
"The Zuojian detachment only has a few thousand people, and the artillery equipment is no more than a few squadrons. They don't dare to show their faces now. Of course, it's not time to attack yet, and they also know clearly that with their current strength alone, they have no power to attack. We must also ensure the rear supply line and launch an offensive westward."
"The ultimate reason why the Zuojian detachment is still on standby is because all the deployments of the Japanese army have not been in place. At least their supplies have not been replenished. We must seize the time to find out more about this Zuojian detachment. , apart from the true location, the most important thing is to target the 32nd Division of Taiyuan."
"As for the 21st Division currently deployed at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, their target should still be the battlefield in northern Shanxi. The battlefield in Beiyue District of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei is actually connected with the battlefield in northern Shanxi. If Okamura Neji It is actually very uneconomical to divide our forces to raid Beiyue District at this time."
"The Japanese army now actually has one division and two mixed brigades on the battlefield in northeastern Shanxi. Although these forces seem to be large in number, Neji Okamura should know that relying on these forces to counterattack northern Shanxi , he has no chance of success at all.”
"But if northern Shanxi is not recaptured, it will mean that the whole of Shanxi will be opened to the Japanese army. Once the situation in Shanxi is critical, it will be really fatal for the Japanese North China Front. So I think the 21st Division The real target is still on the battlefield in northern Shanxi."
"As for the lack of movement from the 21st Division, boss, Commander Chen, can we consider that they are trying to confuse us, and that he is waiting for our army to find out the exact actions of the Zuojian detachment, and then take the initiative to divide the troops and attack , giving them a gap they can take advantage of."
"Two chiefs, I actually have another point of view. Different from the judgments of several chiefs, I don't think the real goal of the Zuojian Detachment and the 32nd Division is northern Shaanxi. Their real goal is our Shanxi-Sui base area. , and even the entire northern Shanxi battlefield, the current series of actions taken by the Zuojian detachment are adopting a series of confusing methods."
"It is true that northern Shaanxi is our fundamental location. If the Japanese army launches a large-scale attack on northwestern Shanxi at this time and divides its forces to forcefully cross the Yellow River and penetrate into northern Shaanxi, our army will inevitably divide its forces for rescue no matter how tense the war situation is. I believe this Okamura Neji also has a clear mind."
"He also knows very well that if they abandon northern Shanxi at this time, adopt a defensive posture towards the north, and concentrate their forces to launch an attack to the west, once northern Shaanxi is threatened, our army will inevitably divide its forces for rescue, so that it is actually integrated.
The battlefields in northern Shanxi and Chanan, including northwestern Shanxi, can easily leave many gaps that the Japanese army can take advantage of."
"But the current situation is very different from before the battle started. At present, as the entire Suiyuan is under the control of our army, northern Shanxi is already under the control of our army. In fact, with the end of the Battle of Baotou, our army
The Shanxi, Sui, and Shaanxi regions have actually become one, and the main force of the entire Shanxi-Sui Military Region has actually become the reserve force for the northern Shanxi battlefield."
"Once the Japanese army attacks northern Shaanxi, if necessary, our army can even forcibly pass through the Yulin area from the Suixi area for direct reinforcements. At the same time, although the number of our army's troops left in northern Shaanxi is not large at present, it will be able to hold on in a short time.
Many places are not suitable for river defense positions for large corps to cross the river. In fact, it should not be a difficulty, not to mention that when needed, we can get full support from the aviation force of our army stationed in Yan'an."
