Guo Bingxun knocked on the map, thought for a while and said: "As for the Japanese army mobilizing part of the puppet army to enter Shanxi, I think they want to mobilize some more troops from Changzhi. And use these puppet troops to replace more Japanese troops on the battlefield.
Go up. But in the Linfen and Yuncheng areas, I’m afraid the Japanese army won’t deploy these puppet troops in that direction.”
"The deployment direction of these puppet troops should be mainly close to our base areas behind enemy lines. No country in the world will trust traitors without any conditions. Yuncheng and Linfen are close to the rear area and the World War II zone. If these puppet troops are in
If you are lured back by others, then the Japanese will really lose your wife and lose their troops."
"No. 1, as for the actual situation of the Zuojian detachment, I always feel that the situation you imagined is unlikely. Both wings of the Tongpu Railway are within the range of our base areas behind enemy lines. No matter which direction the Japanese army passes, its troop deployment and stationing are
We should have information on the location."
"The Japanese army is on both sides of Tongpu Road. No matter what kind of big action they take, they cannot hide it from our eyes. Our army knows this, and the Japanese army also knows it. On the 1st, the enemy's work in the pass is better than ours.
It is much stronger, and its control over the base area is much tighter."
"This Zuojian detachment has thousands of troops. Although the local Shanxi-Sui armed forces left behind cannot delay its actions, there should be no problem in finding out whether it is an empty city strategy. If we are not sure of this, the brothers in Guan Nei
It is impossible for the army to not only survive but also develop and grow under the enemy's nose."
"Also, No. 1. No matter what Neji Okamura's true intention is, I think Chen Hanzhang did not make any mistakes in his decision to attack the Zuoma detachment first. No matter what the Zuoma detachment facing them is,
Human or ghost, I think this fight will make it completely clear."
"Besides, you have already sent telegrams to the boss and deputy commander-in-chief respectively, giving advance warning. With the ability of the deputy commander-in-chief in charge of Tongpu Ludong, I think their internal troops will definitely be prepared. The focus of the Japanese army will be determined.
, it is still on our army in northern Shanxi. Even if it is possible to mobilize troops to sweep our base areas behind enemy lines, it is impossible to mobilize too many troops."
"I think even if Okamura Neiji wants to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, the Kanai troops may not be unable to deal with it. When Chen Hanzhang's troops captured Jining, they seized a large number of Japanese-made ammunition, and most of them have been transferred to the Kanai troops.
Yang Jicai also obtained a large amount of ammunition for Jinsui and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei in Taiyuan City. With this foundation, I think there will be no problem for the Guan Nei troops to persist for a while."
"The weapons and equipment captured during the battles of Datong and Jining can be transferred to them. Try to improve their equipment before the Japanese army takes action. Chen Hanzhang captured five mountain cannons, two field cannons, and more than a dozen
Infantry guns and mortars can be handed over to them."
Regarding Chen Hanzhang's suggestion, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "There is no problem in handing over these artillery to the internal troops, but the key is the lack of artillery. In addition to the Shanxi-Sui Military Region, the artillery we trained before in Taihang and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei has been organized
Advance the army. The rest suffered heavy casualties during last year's counter-mopping operations."
"I have no objection to handing over these equipment to our brother troops, but where will this artillery go? Without well-trained artillery, it is an empty weapon and cannot be used. Now that the Japanese military operation may start at any time, no one wants to improvise training
, it’s too late.”
"In this way, the Guan Nei army has insufficient mountain artillery, but a large number of mortars. Tell Chen Hanzhang and ask him to deploy a group of mortars from his own army, especially the 82nd and 60th mortars.
All the manned and artillery pieces were handed over to the Taihang and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Regions. The few mountain field guns and infantry guns were also handed over."
"Remember, let him hand over the field artillery to the Jinsui Military Region. Mountain artillery and infantry artillery to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei. At the same time, let him find a way to deploy a group of artillery among the troops. First, as the artillery for this group of artillery
, operate this batch of artillery. Second, let them serve as instructors and train another batch of qualified artillery for the customs troops in the shortest possible time from a practical perspective."
"But there is no need to send people to the Jinsui Military Region. Their artillery system is currently complete, and they have mastered actual combat technology through the Battle of Baotou. Just hand over the two field guns and a few infantry guns.
Also, ask him to immediately dispatch an artillery regiment to pass through Pianguan, Baode, and cross the Yellow River westward to station in northern Shaanxi."
"Let the Logistics Department immediately mobilize a batch of landmines and transport them to Datong and Yan'an by air as quickly as possible. As many as they can be mobilized. Especially anti-infantry mines and directional mines, as much as possible. Even if it means suspending the troops in Northeast China
When using it, priority must also be given to satisfying the requirements within the customs.”
"At the same time, tell Chen Hanzhang to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army. Tell him that his battlefield is not just between the inner and outer Great Wall in northern Shanxi. His focus must be on the entire Shanxi territory. Keep an eye on other battlefields and don't be distracted.
The Japanese army took the opportunity to make a sneak attack. As for the troops, I can only give him so much now. In a short period of time, I will have no reinforcements to give him."
"Especially the movements of the 21st Division, I must keep an eye on them. No matter how critical the situation in northern Shanxi is, he must have a certain mobile reserve in his hands, and he must be able to fight a long-distance battle when necessary.
Attacks are interspersed with battles. But remember, his fundamental point is in northern Shanxi."
"Tell the aviation force that when there is no ground support at any time, a group of experienced pilots must be selected to conduct detailed reconnaissance of the entire Shanxi territory, especially the various transportation arteries in and out of Shanxi in the eastern Shanxi area. Not only on the ground, but also on the
I will be stared at from heaven."
"Lao Guo, Chen Hanzhang's place is not just the enemy forces that appear on the surface, there is also a 48th Division that is marching towards Zhangjiakou at night. Once this division reaches the front line of Zhangjiakou, the target of the battle will not only be the advancing army.
.Our flanks are also very likely to be targets."
"Once the 48th Division reaches the combat area west of Zhangjiakou, this situation may not happen. If the 48th Division reaches the Zhangjiakou front line first, it will drive a nail between us and the advancing army. Let us have two major forces in the east and west.
Strategic groups and actions are subject to considerable restrictions."
"Tell Du Kaishan that even if he vomits blood, he still has to arrive at the front line from Zhangjiakou to Yanggao and Tianzhen on time. And you should send a report to the two veterans of the advancing army, hoping that they can speed up and cut off as soon as possible.
The Pingsui Railway cuts off the connection between the 48th Division and the Japanese army in depth. Depending on the situation, if necessary, attack the 48th Division first."
"This direction is the junction between our army in the northern Shanxi battlefield and the advancing army in the Chanan battlefield. It is impossible for the Japanese army not to be tempted in this direction. Tell Chen Hanzhang and Du Kaishan that they must be more careful in this direction under the current situation where the enemy situation is not clear.
There must be no carelessness."
After Guo Bingxun quickly recorded several orders from Yang Zhen, he turned around and handed them over to the confidential staff officer. Just as the confidential staff officer turned around and left, less than half an hour later, the boss and Chen Hanzhang sent two urgent telegrams to Yang Zhen.
In front of Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun. Seeing the contents of the telegram from the boss, Chen Hanzhang, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun couldn't help but be stunned.
The boss told Yang Zhen in a telegram that the 15th Division in Zhengding, which had regained a certain strength after being replenished, and the Japanese troops in Changzhi and Linfen, and with the cooperation of the two divisions of the Wang Puppet Peace Army transferred from Shandong, suddenly concentrated a large number of troops.
, in the southeast of Shanxi Province, we carried out encirclement and raids on all sides in our two major base areas of Taihang and Taiyue.
Before the Japanese army carried out this raid, the Japanese army suddenly disarmed all the local puppet troops in Shanxi, except for a division of the Shanxi-Sui Army that surrendered to the enemy in March this year. In particular, the local puppet police and security forces were all disarmed. Instead, they were replaced by
A group of pseudo-security forces transferred from Hebei Province were responsible for garrison duties in various places.
As for the newly transferred puppet troops, they originally belonged to various systems. The enemy engineering departments in various base areas in Shanxi had not yet had time to contact them, so they did not receive any effective information. Regarding the sudden large-scale raid launched by the Japanese army, the two major base areas almost
Without any preparation.
Fortunately, all the troops had been concentrated in order to cooperate with Yang Jicai's actions in Taiyuan. Before Yang Zhen issued the early warning, the Taihang and Taiyue military regions had already adopted certain response measures under the changes in the enemy situation. Each base area,
We had already entered a full alert situation, so we were not caught off guard by the Japanese army this time.
At present, it is not just the Shanxi battlefield where the enemy situation has changed. There have been frequent mobilizations of Japanese and puppet troops throughout the Japanese-occupied areas. According to the intelligence transferred from the Shandong troops and the New Fourth Army, this time the Japanese army carried out a large-scale attack on the puppet troops in all Japanese-occupied areas.
The large-scale mobilization not only completely disrupted the puppet army's organization and reorganized it, but also made a large number of adjustments to the puppet army's garrison.
And accelerated the reorganization and mobilization of several puppet armies belonging to the former Chongqing side that had newly surrendered to the enemy. Not only have the two puppet army divisions been transferred to the battlefield in Shanxi, but other puppet armies in Shandong are also gradually moving to the battlefield.
Mobilized on the battlefields of eastern Henan and Shanxi.
The first unit of the 39th Group Army of Chongqing, which surrendered to the enemy in the western Shandong area at the beginning of this year and has been expanded into the Wang Puppet Second Front Army, is also mobilizing to Shanxi. It has now arrived at Lincheng and Handan, and is gradually entering Shanxi.
Under the supervision of the Japanese Army, the two regiments of the vanguard launched an attack on the area belonging to the Taihang Fourth Division.
Although this puppet army was originally a miscellaneous army, in addition to the two divisions that were transferred to the Shanxi battlefield in advance, there are currently more than 20,000 troops in the entire army. The equipment is also quite sophisticated, and the entire army is uniformly equipped.
Hanyang made rifles and Liao 13 rifles. There are also a lot of mortars, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.
Before transferring this puppet army from Shandong to Shanxi, the Japanese army added 3,000 additional troops from the national army personnel captured in the Zhongtiao Mountain battle last year, as well as more than 100 light and heavy machine guns and three
Ten Chinese-made 82 mortars, more than 2,000 Czech-made rifles, and 11 Jin-made mountain guns.
Now, this department ranks first among the North China Puppet Army in terms of equipment, strength, and combat effectiveness. In order to make this army work wholeheartedly for itself, the Japanese army used the chief officers at all levels of the department to work within the Chongqing system for many years.
The miscellaneous army had the unpleasant experience of being squeezed out, and suffered a lot of hardships as they had no reliable territory, no food, and no pay.
The Japanese army not only rarely supplemented it with a large number of equipment and recruits, but also expanded its strength by one-third. The quantity and quality of its supplements were far greater than the number of puppet troops directly under the Wang Puppet Central Committee. They also promised,
After the sweep was completed, the Southeast Shanxi Appeasement Office was established in southeastern Shanxi. All the territory in southeastern Shanxi was handed over to this army.
They also agreed to their request and only mobilized the troops of the 18th Army in the pass and not used them to fight against Chongqing. But this premise is that the army must cooperate with the Japanese army to ensure control of southeastern Shanxi and completely eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in southeastern Shanxi.
power. Either the entire army was disarmed and disorganized by the Japanese army, or the territory in southeastern Shanxi was captured. Therefore, the puppet army worked very hard during the operation.
