While giving the order to the Anti-Alliance troops going south to attack across the entire front, Yang Zhen, through the General Front Committee, issued orders to Taiyue, the First Department of the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region, and the Shanxi-Sui Military Region troops, strictly ordering them to immediately launch an attack on the First Army in Shanxi.
General attack on all fronts. Be sure not to allow a single soldier of the First Army to appear on the battlefield in Hebei.
After receiving the order from Okamura Neiji, the First Army began to shrink the intelligence. Will Yang Zhen miss it? The Japanese army sticks to key points and fortified cities. In this battle, it is likely to kill a thousand enemies and suffer 800 losses.
.However, if a large-scale siege is carried out during the period when the Japanese army is shrinking, the cost will be much smaller.
When the battle plan was still being drawn up, what Yang Zhen was most worried about was that after the Hebei battlefield started on all fronts, the First Army would make all-out reinforcements to the east in order to ensure its supply channels. Therefore, the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi was
The key objective in this battle.
Although the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi was the one that faced the most opponents among all the military-level structures of the Japanese Army in China, except for the Eleventh Army. However, whether it was the First War Zone south of the Yellow River, the southwestern Shanxi
The Second War Zone is still the Eighth War Zone west of the Yellow River. Yang Zhen does not dare to expect them to take the initiative to participate in the war. The heavy burden of the First Army still needs to be shouldered by himself.
It is necessary to ensure that the war on the battlefield in Hebei is not interfered by the Japanese army in Shanxi. At the same time, the first army must be reduced to half a disability as much as possible to reduce the pressure in the second half of the battle when it faces the massive reinforcements of the Japanese army. This is the Battle of Changde
Before everything is over and the Japanese army in Central China can completely escape, Yang Zhen's top priority is to consider.
Therefore, after the general attack started in an all-round way, Yang Zhen immediately ordered a full-scale attack to all units participating in the Shanxi battlefield. He used the tactics of combining mobile warfare and offensive warfare to weaken the strength of the First Army as much as possible. To reduce the current situation in the Hebei battlefield, and
pressure to face in the near future.
While issuing orders to the Shanxi battlefield, Yang Zhen ordered the main force of the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region to cooperate with the main force of the Shandong Military Region to closely monitor the Jinpu Road and block the Japanese troops in Henan so that they could not reinforce to the north. Yang Zhen's slogan
It’s very clear, let’s fight a new Hundred Regiment War.
Of course, taking into account the feelings of the commanders of the fraternal units within the Guan, orders given to other fraternal units in the Guan except for the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region are all issued through the boss. Although there are some things that have not been said so much yet, Yang Zhen
I am still very careful.
His orders to his brother troops were basically passed through the General Front Committee rather than issued by himself personally. Yang Zhen did not want to give himself, let alone his old subordinates, any additional orders in the not-so-distant future.
Trouble. And the boss who personally supervises the formation is also very supportive of Yang Zhen’s idea.
According to his successive orders, all major strategic areas were dispatched according to their respective goals. With the Pinghan, Zhengtai, and Tongpu railway lines, almost all personnel were dispatched on the North China battlefield. Whether it was the brother troops in the pass or the Northeast troops heading south
All the troops participating in the war in the Anti-Japanese Alliance have taken the initiative to attack. The entire North China battlefield was almost reduced to a pot of porridge as he issued these orders.
Order the troops staying in the northeast to immediately launch a full-line attack on the two wings of Siping Street and the Kwantung Army from Xifeng and Dongfeng in the east to Zhangwu, Fuxin and Jianchang in the west according to the established plan. The Kwantung Army must be able to defeat the enemy before this battle.
In the middle, one soldier and one soldier cannot reinforce the battlefield inside the pass.
He ordered the Anti-Alliance aviation bomber group to carry out comprehensive air strikes on the railway and highway systems in North Korea. In particular, Yang Zhen issued a fatal order to destroy several bridges on the Yalu River at all costs. At the same time, he asked the Anti-Alliance aviation force to
The port of Port Arthur was also destroyed.
While mobilizing the aviation force to participate in the war, Yang Zhen ordered Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun, and Wang Guangyu, who were responsible for commanding the battlefield outside the Pass, to immediately mobilize the main force of the Korean Independence Army and enter northern North Korea to fight. With the north of Pyongyang as the main combat area, they launched a mountainous attack on the Japanese and Korean troops.
Mobile operations. Containing Japanese troops from the so-called inland Korea and mobilizing reinforcements to reinforce the Kwantung Army.
After receiving Yang Zhen's order, the anti-alliance forces on the Northeast battlefield, under the command of Wang Guangyu, who came to Gongzhuling to take command in person, led by two armored brigades and six independent tank regiments, under the cover of overwhelming artillery fire
Twenty-one divisions were concentrated and launched a comprehensive offensive against the Kwantung Army.
According to Yang Zhen's request, the offensive launched in the Northeast is to play a supporting role. The real intention is not to capture the city. In addition to weakening the effective strength of the Japanese army to a certain extent, it is to tightly entangle the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Distract the attention of the Japanese base camp to reduce the pressure on the North China battlefield.
Therefore, when Wang Guangyu attacked, his posture was quite sufficient, and it formed an overwhelming force. In the first wave of attacks, nearly a thousand tanks and all bomber groups were used to cooperate with the attack. But on a real scale
, but according to Yang Zhen's requirements, he was very measured.
On the surface, the offensive appears to be a broad-based attack, but in fact it is a steady and steady attack. It does not adopt the large-depth offensive that was used in the original anti-alliance war. Instead, it adopts shallow depth and roundabout penetration, segmentation, and multi-channel assaults.
Skin the Japanese troops on the front line layer by layer.
As for the Kwantung Army, maybe they were really afraid of being beaten. Although after the North China Campaign started, Okamura Neiji asked the Kwantung Army to launch an attack more than once to reduce the pressure on the North China Front. But no matter what Okamura Neiji asked,
General Umezu Yoshijiro just acted like he didn't hear anything. He put up a tortoise formation on the front line of Siping, but didn't show up.
When the Anti-Japanese Alliance took the lead in launching offensive operations, the Kwantung Army still put on a defensive posture. In addition to tactical counterattacks, it basically stuck to its existing positions and did not take the initiative to attack easily. At the same time, behind it, the Fengtian Front Line also placed a
A large number of troops and a large number of permanent fortifications were built in Eastern Manchuria.
For Umezu Yoshijiro, the current mission of the Kwantung Army has changed from recovering the entire Manchuria and restoring the inherent territory of the Manchu Empire to holding on to the industrial zone in South Manchuria. In Umezu Yoshijiro's view, any measures that endanger the South Manchu industrial zone are
This cannot be tolerated. The North China Front has the backing of the Chinese dispatched troops and is so strong, so it is better to find a way to solve it on your own.
Compared with the Northeastern battlefield, the offensive under the command of Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and Wang Guangyu was quite a bit of a boost to the momentum. Neither Chen Hanzhang on the Western Front nor Du Kaishan on the Eastern Front received the order on the Guannei battlefield without any hesitation.
For them, orders are orders, and they must be carried out as long as the sky does not fall.
The two warriors under Yang Zhen commanded the armored cavalry and motorized troops assigned to them, and rushed out of the hidden waiting places in Yanshan and Jundu Mountains from Pingbei and Pingxi respectively. Along the road to
Ignoring the various positions where the fierce fighting was taking place, they forcibly penetrated towards their predetermined targets.
In particular, the crossing route of the Western Cluster is almost outside the West City Wall of Peiping. Standing on the West City Wall, the Japanese army can clearly see the large number of tanks and armored cavalry clusters of the Anti-Japanese Alliance moving south rapidly. The crossing operations of the Western Front are almost equivalent to
He informed the Japanese army of his strategic intentions in a big way.
But Yang Zhen had this confidence, so that even though Okamura Neji knew his strategic intentions, he could not find a way to counterbalance them. Chen Hanzhang, who commanded the circuitous route on the western front, ignored the firepower of the Japanese troops inside and outside Beiping City.
Taking the 1st Armored Division attached to the command as the forerunner, they moved quickly and openly along the west wall of Beiping City towards the south of Beiping City.
The 110th Division, which was joined by the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Anti-League Division, was entangled in the front line of Mentougou and could not escape from his care, as well as Okamura Neiji who was stationed in Peiping City.
I was shocked, even a little bit at a loss.
For Neji Okamura, who finally understood where the real trump card of the Anti-Japanese Alliance lies, the commander of the 110th Division and Lieutenant General Chitaka II, who had already commanded the main force of his division, were fully deployed on the Fangshan front line. After learning that
After a large number of anti-Union armored troops appeared behind him, his first thought at the time was to be completely finished.
Such a large enemy force came from behind. I was afraid that I would be surrounded and repeat the mistakes of my predecessor in Suidong. Such a large group of armored troops suddenly appeared from behind, and it was very difficult for Lieutenant General Zhi Ying II to see such a large group of armored troops coming from behind.
It is clear that his 110th Division cannot be his opponent at all.
It's no wonder that Lieutenant General He Zhiying was frightened. Before he could figure out Chen Hanzhang's strategic intentions, who could have such a large number of tanks behind him would have been so frightening.
It's strange. Especially when his 110th Division has now completed its deployment and is engaged in a fierce battle with the First Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in the mountainous area west of Fangshan.
This division commander with a background as a spy is not good at military command at all. Although the Japanese have been fighting the Chinese on the battlefield for more than ten years since the September 18th Incident, this Wazhitaka
For most of the previous period, the Second Lieutenant General had been engaged in espionage against China and the work of disintegration and disintegration in Chongqing. He did not have much practical experience.
It was originally planned to transfer him to the Southern Army as deputy chief of staff, but I don't know what happened to this old man. After the transfer order was issued, he was suddenly transferred to the Chinese battlefield to take over the reorganization of the army one by one.
Zero Division, and served as the commander of the 110th Division.
He had very little actual combat experience. Except for a brief period as captain of the 44th Regiment of the 11th Division and participating in the Battle of Songhu, he had almost zero actual combat experience. He was frightened by the large number of anti-alliance armored groups that appeared behind him.
It’s not surprising that I was frightened and a little out of control.
When Wachi Takaji discovered that a large number of enemy tanks appeared behind him, he wanted to mobilize troops to protect his behind. However, he was annoyed to find that except for some of the baggage troops, most of the remaining troops of his division had been attacked in person.
The opponents who came over were entangled in the vast mountains around Fangshan, and they could not mobilize their troops at all.
The opponent's fierce offensive and the overall posture of fighting in mountainous areas were extremely good. His 110th Division was firmly bitten from the moment it arrived at the Fangshan line. All his troops were invested in the mountainous areas of Pingxi, using all their strength.
I tried my best, but my passive attitude didn't change.
At present, the entire division is entangled in the mountains. It is not easy to mobilize even one squadron. And he knows more clearly that the troops are already quite empty at this time, and the city of Beiping, which is still too busy to take care of itself, can no longer do anything.
Send him any reinforcements.
When the anti-alliance tank troops had crossed Wanping City, Lieutenant General He Zhiying, who had no troops at his disposal, had reached the point of despair. He knew that he had done too many things in China in his own capacity, and it would fall to China
There is definitely no one who is as good as oneself in the hands of others.
In addition to arming all the personnel of the division and regiment in preparation for a desperate struggle, he was already prepared to commit suicide. A loaded pistol was placed in his pocket. He had already made up his mind.
, I would rather give myself a shot in the head than let myself fall into the hands of the Chinese alive.
