The operational plan of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is very suitable for the combat situation against the Japanese army, but there are certain shortcomings, that is, it cannot effectively strike at the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese troops will be exhausted and evacuated because of the lack of food and water, and they will also encounter blows in the process of evacuation, they will not suffer much losses, and the Japanese troops will inevitably recover their strength in a short period of time, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of their troops.

Sun Weiguo had a different idea in his heart, Sun Weiguo planned to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese troops, so that they could not restore the combat effectiveness of the troops in a short period of time, so as to gain time for the development of the Eighth Route Army.

Now it is an opportunity for the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the North China Front has invested a lot of troops to join the Battle of Wuhan, which will inevitably cause the North China Front Army to lack major generals.

The current strategy of the invading Japanese army is obvious, they plan to take Guangzhou in the south, Wuhan in the middle, and Wutai in the north.

Millions of Chinese and Japanese troops were engaged in fierce battles, and most of the Japanese troops began to engage in combat, and now it was the best opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to be active behind enemy lines.

Sun Weiguo knew very well that according to the course of history, after the Japanese army fought a major battle with Chinese troops in Wuhan that was related to the fate of both sides, although they would capture Wuhan, it was a fool's dream that they wanted to capture the whole territory of China, and the little devils would also realize this, and they would also pay attention to the areas they occupied.

When a large number of Japanese troops began to return to the occupied area, the troops of the Eighth Route Army would face a major dilemma, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army would be greatly suppressed by the Japanese army at that time.

Sun Weiguo is now the commander of the first division, and he will not only think about the problem in the present, but he must plan for the future.

The Japanese army gathered nearly 100,000 troops to attack the core area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which not only had a bearing on the life and death of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, but also related to the life and death of the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

You must know that the second division of honor gathered two divisions of the Japanese army, one independent garrison and one independent mixed brigade.

In this operation in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Sun Weiguo had his own ideas, and he not only wanted to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese troops, but also disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army; Sun Weiguo would not let two divisions and regiments, another independent garrison, and an independent mixed brigade of more than 50,000 troops rest on the side of his bed.

"Our troops must not only participate in the operation of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, but also mobilize all troops to participate in the battle. The little devils blocked most of the main force of the North China Front to attack the core area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and they transferred a small half of the troops to defend our division. This time, we must not fight in a small way, but if we want to fight, we will fight in a big way, and all the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the troops of the 120th Division, and the troops of the Second Division of Honor will be assembled to fight the little devils, and this time we will annihilate at least one division of the little devils, so as to change the situation in which our Eighth Route Army is passively beaten. ”

Sun Weiguo clenched his right hand into a fist, and he slammed it on the map.

He made a decision in his heart, and all the troops of the Honorary Second Division participated in the battle this time, and directly fought a decisive battle with the little devils!

Sun Weiguo intends to use this operation to change the passive situation, but this is just Sun Weiguo's idea, whether the Jinchaji Military Region and the 120th Division will agree, Sun Weiguo is not clear, and whether the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will agree, Sun Weiguo is even more unclear.

You must know that once all the officers and men of the Honorary Second Division participate in the battle, it means that the Japanese army deployed in the vicinity of Pingding County is an independent garrison of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army is independently mixed into the third brigade, the Japanese 114th division, and the Japanese 21st division will all participate in this operation, in that case, the Japanese army will gather about 150,000 troops, and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the honorary second division, and the main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will only have about 100,000 troops.

"Division commander, the current situation of our division is not very optimistic, the Japanese army has deployed more than 50,000 people around, once our division takes action, these more than 50,000 people will definitely take action against us, in that case, if we participate in the operation of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, it is equivalent to bringing all these more than 50,000 people to the operation of the Jin-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, so that the Japanese army will not only assemble the 109th Division, the 110th Division, the 26th Division, the second brigade and the fourth brigade and regiment independently. They will also have the 114th and 21st Divisions, as well as the Independent Garrison and the Independent Mixed 3rd Brigade. ”

Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong looked at Sun Weiguo, and a worried expression appeared on his face.

Zhao Lerong has a clear understanding of the current situation, he knows how many Japanese troops are in the second division of honor, and he knows even more that as long as the whole division of the second division of honor participates in the battle, then the more than 50,000 Japanese troops who contain the second division of honor will inevitably immediately participate in the battle.

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is already under great pressure from nearly 100,000 Japanese troops, and if the Japanese troops of the Honorary Second Division are once again put into operation in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, then the consequences will be unimaginable, Zhao Lerong looked at Sun Weiguo, and it was obvious that Zhao Lerong did not agree with Sun Weiguo's idea.

"Division commander, if we send a regiment to participate in the battle, we can only launch a feint attack on Zanhuang County and other counties in Hebei Province and Pingding County, and contain some Japanese troops.

Huang Guohua, the chief of the Operations Section, also looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said softly.

"There will definitely be some difficulties in the war, but we have to overcome them. If this operation can be successful, the annihilation of a division and regiment of the Japanese army will be a great encouragement to the morale of the military and the people of the whole country, and at the same time, we will be able to completely change the passive situation. If we miss this opportunity, we won't have it in the future. The Battle of Wuhan was inevitable for the Japanese army to capture Wuhan, but this Battle of Wuhan was bound to break the Japanese army's nerves and bones, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to launch an attack of this scale again, and the only thing they could do was to digest the occupied area. ”

"I judged that after the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese troops would definitely focus their attention on the occupied areas, and it would be more and more difficult for us to move at that time. Now we still have a chance to win if we fight, but when the units of the North China Front Army return to their stations from the Wuhan front, we want to fight with them, and there will be no chance of victory. We will have a lot of difficulties this time, but as long as we have firm beliefs, we can win. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at the division personnel, and he said in a solemn tone.

The Honorary Second Division is currently extremely passive, and if you want to change this passive situation, you naturally have to work hard.

The Japanese army in North China gathered heavy troops to deal with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, this is an opportunity, once missed, it is absolutely impossible to have such an opportunity again.

Sun Weiguo is very aware of this, so even if there is a great difficulty and risk this time, Sun Weiguo must carry out his plan.
