Sui Changqing believes that the only two problems in achieving his goal are the differences between the various units. Because they are later incorporated units, they are still unfamiliar with each other, and their cooperation on the battlefield will be a bit unfamiliar. The combat regiment adapted from the engineering regiment
, it will take a little time to restore their technical and tactical level.
The reason why he insisted that the troops should be reorganized in accordance with regulations, even regardless of the dangerous situation he faced, and extended the training time of the troops for two days was to allow the cadres at all levels who would be deployed later to seize the time to get familiar with each other as soon as possible and conduct the final training.
Actual combat training, and seize the time to familiarize yourself with the newly installed automatic rifles and other equipment that were not originally equipped as second-line troops.
It turns out that although the security forces at each base are fully equipped with weapons, they are all equipped according to the field light troops. Except for heavy weapons used by infantry such as heavy machine guns, mortars, recoilless rifles and rocket launchers, the rest of the light weapons are according to the
It comes from human heads.
Although the engineering regiment has mortars and heavy machine guns, they are only equipped with one company each, and are not equipped with recoilless rifles and rocket launchers. They are all equipped with Type 38 rifles and Taisho Type 11 light machine guns. Although they are also equipped with
We have acquired certain automatic rifles and general-purpose machine guns, but mainly as necessary training and familiarity to master the use of weapons common to the entire army.
The two troops' daily training, standing guard, and duty mainly use captured Type 38 rifles and standard submachine guns. The automatic rifles and general-purpose machine guns that were newly issued just before boarding the plane are of much use to these troops who have been serving as guards and engineers for a long time.
Not too familiar yet.
Although they are not unfamiliar, there is still a certain distance to master them. Especially for the security and engineering units such as rocket launchers and recoilless rifles, which are not equipped with weapons at all. These newly added support firepowers still need some tactics.
Cooperate with training.
It was out of these considerations that Sui Changqing insisted on extending the training of the troops outside the city for another forty-eight hours when the situation was critical. Even when he had fully broken through the Yingxian city wall, he had fallen into street fighting, and the situation was already quite critical, he did not mobilize
Reinforcements from troops outside the city.
Sui Changqing's purpose is to enable the troops to achieve the best integration state, so that commanders and fighters at all levels can become familiar with the weapons in their hands to the maximum extent. Only in this way can they truly exert the combat effectiveness of their troops on the battlefield. For Sui Changqing, he must ensure that he has one hit as much as possible.
He was sure of victory. And he commanded the only troops in the city and relied on the buildings in Yingxian County to hold on desperately.
And taking advantage of the Japanese army's eagerness to capture Yingxian County and open up a deep offensive channel to northern Shanxi, they firmly attracted the main force of the 32nd Division to Yingxian County, allowing their troops to penetrate, detour, and outflank them soon after.
, to create the most powerful and successful fighter opportunity. He wants to determine the outcome in one fell swoop, instead of fighting a tug-of-war and a war of attrition like Yi Liangpin.
However, considering the Japanese regiment at the junction of Shanyin and Yingxian, Sui Changqing still reported his ideas to Yi Liangpin. He hoped that the two armies could have a closer strategic cooperation. Yi Liangpin held Shan Yin back.
The shady Japanese army, on the flank of the 32nd Division, struck hard with a left hook, directly hitting the waist of the 32nd Division.
Just as the boss feels, the generals at all levels in the Anti-League have the wolfish nature of biting them whenever they get an opportunity. This is not just one or two people in the Anti-League, but is quite common. Especially senior officers
The ferocity of the commanders is quite obvious on the battlefield. As long as it does not violate the entire combat plan framework, they dare to launch attacks whenever they have the opportunity.
It is as if there is no concept of passive defense in their combat thinking. Even if the strength of the troops in their hands is only equal to that of the enemy in front of them, or even less than that of their opponents, as long as the fighter plane allows, they dare to launch an attack first.
.Even if the situation is relatively unfavorable, they still dare to attack boldly.
Just like Sui Changqing at the moment, the current situation is not very favorable. It can even be said that the situation is quite critical. The 32nd Division has already fought less than 500 meters away from his division headquarters, but the plan is still to attack. Not the old one.
Be honest and organize your defense there.
Under the influence of Yang Zhen, the alpha wolf, his column commanders and division commanders were like a group of extremely ferocious wolves under the alpha wolf's command, staring at any of their opponents with blood-red eyes.
.If you have a chance, you have to bite. If you don’t have a chance to create an opportunity, you have to find an opportunity to bite hard. As long as the opponent they are targeting will never stop until they tear you to pieces.
Sui Changqing ignored the crisis in front of him and secretly began to deploy counterattacks. In front of him, at the headquarters of the 32nd Division, the commander of the 32nd Division, Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo, was also helpless. His 32nd Division
, I am spending too much time in Yingxian now.
One telegram after another from the North China Front urging action almost made Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo almost collapse. General Okamura Neiji used the two wings to hold back the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, concentrated the 32nd Division out of Yingxian, and forced the crossing
Sangganhe was directly involved in Datong's plan, and his Thirty-second Division was at the core.
But now that Ying County has been unable to win it, the follow-up plan cannot be carried out. The follow-up plan cannot be carried out, so the plan of General Okamura Neiji to abandon both sides and go straight to the core cannot be completed. As for the actions of the 32nd Division
General Okamura Neiji has shown serious dissatisfaction with the procrastination.
What made the commander of the 32nd Division collapse even more was that his current boss, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi, commander of the First Army, sent an order that was fundamentally different from the commander of the front army. Yoshimoto Sadichi
The 32nd Division was strictly ordered not to divide its forces under any circumstances. The entire division must be tightly united and use rolling tactics to press northward.
Place as many troops as possible on both wings, and pay more attention behind you. Those who can walk in mountainous areas must not walk on plains. Those who can walk on ridges must never walk in ravines. Even if they must walk in ravines, they must be placed on the ridges on both sides.
Warning troops. When marching in mountainous areas, pay attention to the deployment of surrounding commanding heights.
Never underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. Even if the enemy forces in front of you are completely defeated, you must evaluate again and again and conduct careful reconnaissance before taking action. In a word, be prudent and prudent, and you must not underestimate the enemy in any way. Especially when entering Datong.
After entering the basin, you must act more cautiously.
After capturing the county seat of Yingxian County as quickly as possible, the entire division garrisoned the county seat with its main force, relying on the county seat of Yingxian County. At the same time, attention was paid to maintaining a corresponding distance from the friendly forces of Hunyuan on the right. The main focus should be more
More emphasis is placed on supporting operations on both wings.
Although Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi is somewhat inconsistent with the orders of Okamura Neji, these orders can definitely be said to be the experience of the Kwantung Army after many losses. It was also the Kwantung Army that paid a heavy price in the Northeast battlefield.
Come. They suffered numerous heavy losses in the Northeast, which also caused the Kwantung Army to change from its former domineering and domineering attitude in its actions, to being cautious and cautious.
Generally speaking, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi is not optimistic about the Northern Shanxi battle planned by the North China Front. According to Yoshimoto Sadichi, retaking northern Shanxi is not about fighting to the death, but about weakening Shanxi as much as possible.
The continued combat capability and current strength of the Northern Resistance Alliance.
In the view of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi, the most important thing now is to extend the time of the battle, and the counterattack launched by hasty organization should not be carried out in one go. It is not suitable for the northern Shanxi battlefield. Because for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, short-term
The combat effectiveness of time will not decline too significantly.
But its real fundamental weakness is that its overall strength is not yet strong enough to sustain two-front operations for a long time. For the Japanese army, the real advantage of the entire battle lies in the supplementary forces behind them and the ability to sustain operations.
It is higher than the Anti-Japanese Alliance in person. Japan can afford it now, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which is responsible for the main battle in northern Shanxi, cannot afford to delay it.
Even if they have strong support from the United States and Britain, the Resistance Alliance will never be able to sustain a long-term two-front battle. The British are now too busy to take care of themselves, and the Americans are retreating continuously on the Pacific battlefield. The empire is at a disadvantage both at sea and on land.
The United States and Britain have an absolute advantage.
The United States and Britain are now overwhelmed with their own affairs. First of all, the assistance they can provide is limited, and the time and quantity cannot fully meet the needs of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. And the shipping route closest to the Anti-Japanese Alliance has been cut off by the Imperial Navy. Shipping through the Atlantic and the Middle East has also been cut off by the Imperial Navy.
Under the threat of German submarines and long-range bombers.
Although the German navy is not powerful, its submarine combat capabilities are very strong. The United States and Britain have already suffered heavy losses in aiding the Soviet Union. Under such circumstances, even if the United States and Britain intend to provide full assistance, they may not be able to get it in time.
.The most important thing is that, having served as the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army for such a long time, Lieutenant Commander Yoshimoto Teiichi will have a very good understanding of the Soviet character.
He believed that although the Soviets, who had been defeated repeatedly on the Soviet-German battlefield, had not finally fallen yet, judging from the losses in equipment and troops, the demand for materials and equipment was definitely not small.
For the United States and Britain to pass aid to the Anti-Alliance through the Soviet Union, this is an adventure in itself. Because the Soviets themselves are an extremely greedy polar bear. When you are an ally with the Soviets, you must avoid being bitten by them at any time. With the greed of the Soviets, they will never
At this time, give up giving them fat.
Therefore, even if the United States and Britain provide a large amount of assistance, only God knows when it will be delivered to the hands of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and how much equipment and materials will actually be obtained. In this situation, the Soviets are very likely to intervene.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to obtain necessary supplies in a timely manner.
Judging from the equipment and troops currently present on the battlefields of Northeast China and Northern Shanxi by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the daily consumption of ammunition and supplies is almost an astronomical figure. And the consumption of these supplies and ammunition, without external support,
For Northern Manchuria, which was a purely agricultural area not long ago, it is undoubtedly difficult to meet its own needs.
Not to mention anything else, so many trucks, tanks, and a large number of aircraft were invested in this battle. This daily fuel consumption is probably beyond their ability to support. Not to mention the number of casualties in a battle, which is also the population
The limited northern Manchuria cannot be sustained for a long time.
In addition, the North China Front Army's large-scale raids on the so-called base areas of the North China Communist Army last year have destroyed its food supply capacity in a short period of time. Even the necessary food for these anti-resistance alliances must be transported thousands of miles from North Manchuria. This is even more aggravated.
Logistical pressures that are already likely to be overwhelmed.
As long as the North China Front delays the war as much as possible, takes some necessary measures, and consumes a large amount of its relatively limited manpower and material resources, it won't be long before they themselves can no longer bear the huge demand for supplies, and the consequences will be
Overwhelmed by tremendous pressure.
As for the current war situation in northern Shanxi, the troops invested in the entire northern Shanxi battlefield are gathered into one group. Even if the Anti-Japanese Alliance wants to eat, they have nowhere to eat. They hold the group together and fight steadily. At the same time, they contain their main combat forces.
, it is most correct to prevent them from taking the risk of going south.
