Fan's inference is very much in line with what most Chinese generals know......

Indeed, according to the conventional method, no matter how it is deduced, the probability of failure in this operation behind enemy lines is far greater than success. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info can even be said to have lost half of the battle before the battle! If this kind of battle plan had been reported to Wuhan, it would certainly not have been approved by the Central Military Commission.

But Huang Haoran has always been a "minority" among Chinese generals, and he has a modern ideological armed mind, so his thinking is rarely bound by convention. Compared with those army generals who came out of the local martial arts hall, Baoding Military Academy, Huangpu Military Academy and the Central Army Academy, Huang Haoran's strategic thinking was more than half a century ahead!

Who said that the Chinese army should penetrate to the Longgan Lake, and there is only one way to go with the 27th Division? The troops can also bypass the mountains occupied by the Japanese! Honma Masaharu only has a few thousand men in his hands now, can he still fill every mountain road and trail in the defense area?

Since the Chinese army was fighting at their own doorstep, they had a much better understanding of the geography of the battlefield than the Japanese army fighting in a foreign land!

Although the secret services of the devils had used all kinds of obscene means to obtain a large number of maps of operations in the Chinese theater for their army long before the start of the full-scale war of aggression against China, they claimed to have more complete varieties than the maps in the hands of the Chinese government. But this is not the case in practice! On the contrary, the Japanese commanders on the battlefields in China were often tortured to death by the maps sent by these intelligence services!

As early as the attack on Nanjing, there was an incident in which the army division under the command of Matsui Ishine could not find the road according to the map. And after entering the Shanxi battlefield, the commanders of the North China Front Army found that the combat map in their hands was full of mistakes and omissions! As a result, the North China Front often has a farce of formed troops holding a full set of operational maps in their hands, but they are trapped in the mountains and cannot turn around!

In a word, it's all the map's fault!

The Japanese never dreamed that China, with its thousands of years of culture, would not be able to find an accurate map of the whole country during the Republic of China! Since the late Qing Dynasty, the Japanese have been studying China with the ambition of entering the mainland, but decades later, they have not been able to see through this ancient empire.

The work of drawing maps in modern China began in the late Qing Dynasty, but due to frequent foreign invasions and warlord wars, the work did not go smoothly. Those passers-by who walked on the stage of Chinese history all spent large sums of money on their own troops, houses and women, and were not willing to support the work of drawing maps at all, and some of them were even quite resistant to it!

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, China was not completely unified until the start of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Although many local warlords have no culture, they still watch storytelling and drama, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if there is no "Zhang Song's picture", can Liu Bei easily get Shudi?

Maps are really a very symbolic thing in the eyes of the Chinese! As a result, the warlords not only did not allow others to enter their territory to draw maps, but they were also unwilling to pay for them.

Even big warlords like Yan Xishan, Long Yun, and Zhang Zuolin who are more discerning have invariably chosen to draw secretly, and then hide the earth image like a treasure, and will never show it easily, let alone equip the troops!

In the eyes of these local warlords, drawing detailed maps has become quite a risky business!

After all, no one wants to show the geography and transportation in their sphere of influence!

As a result, it will be even more difficult to develop a fully detailed map of China than it is to climb to the sky! Take the latest military map produced by the Nanjing government as an example, because the Nanjing government's cartographers could not enter Sichuan, Yunnan, Shanxi, Liangguang and other provinces controlled by the warlords, so in the whole set of maps, only a few provinces controlled by the Nanjing government, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Lianghu, were drawn more accurately.

But the provinces that were inaccessible or occupied by the Japanese couldn't always be empty on the map, right? In the end, the Nanjing government had no choice but to find some old maps and put them together with their new maps, some of which were even the products of more than a hundred years ago!

Leaving aside the technical problems of the period when these maps were drawn in history, the rivers, highways, and even cities on the drawings have changed dramatically in the 100 years since they were made!

How can there be any guarantee for officers to command operations on such a map? It's a strange thing not to make mistakes!

In this unique historical context, it is inevitable that the Japanese will make a big mistake on the map issue! At this time, the outstanding intelligence gathering ability of the Japanese intelligence agencies has become a shortcoming!

Thanks to the "efforts" of the Japanese spies, the Japanese military department already had dozens of different versions of the map of China before the war! These maps include a complete set of maps of China drawn by the Chinese government, as well as maps of local areas drawn by local warlords, which should be satisfactory to the military department.

But in fact, this is the beginning of a fatal death! Clever Japanese generals put these maps together in order to come up with the most complete version possible. But after comparison, the Japanese found out that these maps actually appear very contradictory!! The scale scale taken is even more varied! As a result, the cartographic staff officer of the Japanese military headquarters vomited blood on the spot!

In the end, the Japanese military department had to adopt a similar method as the Nanjing government, retaining the departments of the government's sphere of influence in the latest map drawn by the Nanjing government, and then putting together the regional maps obtained from the local warlords, so as to put together a set of barely able maps of China

Using such a set of "chaotic" maps as the basis for drawing up battle plans, it is not difficult to understand the low-level mistakes made by the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield!

Take the 6th Division and the 106th Division, which were recently wiped out by the Chinese army, if Okamura Ninji knew the detailed terrain west of Lushan and west of Huangmei, then these two Japanese divisions would probably have escaped! But the actual situation was that the Chinese map used by Okamura Ningji was also inferior, and the Matsuura Division didn't even know until it was trapped in Wanjialing by Xue Yue's troops that the area they were interspersed with was so precipitous!

Therefore, when it comes to mastering the environment around Dushan Town, Huang Haoran only needs to send someone to find a few local mountain people to be guides for his troops, and he can immediately compare those tattered military maps in the hands of the devils!

In this way, the location of this battle was firmly held in Huang Haoran's hands!

In addition, the little devils have done too many sins in China, and they have already offended the Chinese people to death, so it is impossible for Honma Masaharu to rely on the local people to lead them in the way!!

So, people naturally came to Huang Haoran's side!

Under these changes, the gap between Huang Haoran's troops and Masaharu Honma's 27th Division in distance and order of action was basically filled.

Occupying the geographical advantages and people is the reason why Huang Haoran dared to carry out this interspersed operation! (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
