However, in any case, the defeat of the 35th Division in the initial battle had already become a settlement, and I heard that the attack on the side of the 10th Division was not very smooth, and the wounded sent back to Beiping had reached more than 1,000 people, so Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji did not rush to order the 35th Division to continue to attack the Jiajiaying position, and ordered Lieutenant General Maeda to immediately garrison on the spot and wait for the arrival of the large army.

Lieutenant General Maeda was greatly relieved by Okamura Ninji's order, and in the telegram Commander Okamura did not reprimand him for the failure of his command, which reassured Maeda a lot.

However, Lieutenant General Maeda also knew that this did not mean that this matter could be passed like this, after all, he had lost a tank wing and an infantry brigade. Although Commander Okamura did not say it explicitly, the meaning of the division was very clear.

That is, if the 35th Division fights this battle well, then this matter can be blamed in the past, but if the 35th Division behaves so badly in the next battle, then the accounts will be dealt with together after the autumn. The consequences can be imagined, and the best result for him, the commander of the lieutenant general's division, is to be transferred to the reserve.

At the same time, Okamura Ninji sternly warned Lieutenant General Osamu Maeda in a telegram, asking him to take a ruthless approach to rectify the military discipline of the troops, and strictly prohibit conniving at the massacre of Japanese civilians by the troops, otherwise he, the commander of the division, would come to an end.

Comparatively speaking, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji's order is still more threatening than the order of the 12th Army Headquarters, after all, Okamura Ninji is the commander of the North China Front, and the official is a big one, so Okamura Ninji's words are far more authoritative than the orders of the 12th Army Headquarters.

The news that the 35th Division had stopped advancing quickly reached Ma Zheng's ears, and after a while of analysis, Ma Zheng saw a little bit of a doorway.

This is not a bad thing, it can only show that the Japanese army has really raised the Suicha Military Region to the level of an opponent, and has really taken out the posture of the lion and the rabbit to fight with the Suicha Military Region.

Of course, this is not a good thing, and it is almost impossible to imagine a big victory like yesterday, and a beautiful war of annihilation. According to the intelligence information detected by the intelligence agency, the Japanese army has increased its troops in the direction of Akagi.

Moreover, at this time on the front line of Xuanhua, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army had already accelerated the speed of its march, and the troops responsible for blocking this road of the Japanese army suffered considerable losses. Moreover, in addition to more than 46,000 elite infantry, the Japanese army also had four brigades of chariot troops and about 20,000 puppet troops.

The 20,000 or so puppet army is nothing, and with the current combat effectiveness of the Suicha Military Region, at most two infantry regiments can be sent to deal with the more than 20,000 puppet troops. However, that chariot division is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and more than 220 chariots are not a dispensable force, if Ueda and that old devil use this chariot division well, there will be no problem at all for the troops to come to the city of Zhangjiakou within two days.

Besides, this time with the puppet army as cannon fodder, there are many tactics that the Eighth Route Army can't use, and it is difficult to use such a local mine like that with huge lethality or to achieve such great results, it is almost impossible to the extent, after all, the Japanese will definitely let the puppet army act as cannon fodder in front.

However, Ma Zheng is not worried about what the 10th Division can really do to the Suicha Military Region, after all, North China is a complete battlefield, even if the 10th Division can really defeat Zhangjiakou, what can it do, once something happens to the Japanese army in other directions, the entire Japanese army will be chaotic.

Therefore, Ma Zheng's order to Yang Chengwu is that it does not matter whether Zhangjiakou can be held or not, the important thing is that Zhangjiakou is valuable even if it is to be lost, and even if the 50,000 or 60,000 troops of the Chanan Military Division are to be withdrawn, it will not make the Japanese army feel better, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, but special attention should be paid to the degree of killing and wounding the Japanese army, as long as a large number of Japanese soldiers are killed and wounded, then their task will be completed.

As for the place where Ma Zheng's department really wants to break through, it is the defense line of Zhulu, and the number of Japanese soldiers coming from the direction of Zhulu is quite large, two infantry divisions and three infantry brigades and three puppet army groups, and there are also two puppet army cavalry regiments.

And the combat intention of the Japanese army on this road is also very clear, that is, to drive out all the Chinese defenders in the area of Weixian, Yangyuan, Tianzhen, and Yanggao at all costs, and at the same time join the 10th Division on the front line of Xinghe, Shangyi, Zhangbei, and Huade, completely cut off the connection between Ma Zheng's department and the army in eastern Hebei, and then concentrate forces to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei, and finally counterattack the Suizhong grassland.

However, Ma Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the Japanese army wants to use it to suppress people, but he Ma Zheng is not easy to mess with, and it just so happens that half of the battle fought some time ago can be continued.

Last time, Ma Zheng originally planned to capture Baoding, and then take Shimen, and give the first army of the Japanese army in Shanxi a pot of stew, but he didn't expect the Nationalist Government to be anticlimactic, and Ma Zheng could only give up halfway, and this time he happened to continue the unfinished mission.

Now the Japanese army thinks that the main force of Ma Zheng's department is in southern and northern Shanxi, but in fact, the main force of the Suicha Military Region was put by Ma Zheng in the area of Tianzhen and Weixian. In addition to the reorganized Fourth and Fifth Divisions, there are four independent brigades on this line, as well as armored divisions, artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, engineer brigades, logistics support brigades, and other units, with a total strength of nearly 100,000 troops.

In terms of troops, the Eighth Route Army on this line was much more than the Japanese army. Moreover, the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Zhulu were not equipped with heavy weapons such as chariots, and at most there were two wings of mountain artillery, which added up to sixty or seventy mountain artillery. Therefore, whether it is in terms of strength or firepower, Ma Zheng's department has an absolute advantage.

In addition, this area has always been the defense area of Ma Zheng's department, and the terrain and other conditions are favorable to Ma Zheng's department, so this line of Ma Zheng occupies all the favorable conditions such as time, place, and people, and Ma Zheng will win this war.

In addition, the Japanese army used the puppet army in this battle, and it also used 20,000 people at once. You must know that these puppet soldiers are not enemies in Ma Zheng's eyes, but the nurses of the Suicha Military Region to supplement the soldiers.

As early as three years ago, he had just arrived in Chanan and soon began to plan how to deal with the growing puppet army, although it was not easy to deal with the Japanese army, but it was much easier to pay attention to the puppet army.

Since three years ago, Ma Zheng has secretly sent a large number of personnel to infiltrate various puppet army units in North China, and from time to time to create some opportunities for these people to be promoted and make a fortune.

At present, among the 21 regular groups with numbers in Qi Xieyuan's North China Public Security Army and the 10 groups that are in a state of semi-light and half darkness and are not recognized by the Japanese army, Ma Zheng's people are quite a few at the top level, and in addition to a group commander, two group deputy commanders, and a group chief of staff, there are also many regiment commanders or battalion company commanders.

This is especially true among middle- and lower-ranking officers, where almost every puppet army unit has one or two battalion and company commanders. So Ma Zheng is going to use these puppet armies to make an article this time, don't the little devils use these puppet armies as cannon fodder, and see how these cannon fodder will clean them up when the time comes.

Since the Japanese army had temporarily stopped advancing in the direction of Chicheng, Ma Zheng's eyes shifted to the battlefield in the northwest of Hebei.

Staring at the map on the table, Ma Zheng frowned and analyzed, and from time to time he had to walk around the command headquarters, and occasionally go to the terrain sand table to demonstrate.

Ma Zheng now has to play a big game of chess, a big and big chess, so every move must be cautious. If this game of chess is played well, it will definitely be an earth-shattering shock, and it will definitely greatly deter the Japanese devils and those traitors, and more importantly, it can reverse the situation in North China to a great extent, and even end the war in North China ahead of schedule.

Once a major breakthrough was made in the North China battlefield, it would be an absolutely devastating blow to the Japanese army, and it was even possible that the Japanese would go south in advance and compete with the Americans for territory. From this point of view, Ma Zheng's ambition is greatly dropped! (To be continued.) )
