In fact, on the battlefield of Chanan, there is no need for Du Kaishan to worry about it. With the advance army, the main force has reached the periphery of Zhangjiakou and seized the important town of Guyuan. At present, the Japanese army in Zhangbei is already being attacked on both sides. Not to mention that he has long lost the ability to go north to stab him Du Kaishan, even if he himself is also under the attack of two armies.

On the frontal battlefield in Chanan, the two veteran commanders who advanced into the army, although they did not open and close. However, Tong Guò adopted the tactics of constant shallow and deep detours to outflank the enemy in front of him and the main force behind him piece by piece. By the time the battle had completely ended on the Kangbao battlefield, the advance army had already defeated the main force of the independent mixed second brigade north of the Guyuan and Zhangbei lines.

He also adopted a series of continuous and bold tactics of interspersing behind enemy lines, and in one fell swoop cut the 27th Division into four separate sections. The veteran coach who advanced into the two is a veteran of the battlefield in the end, and his ability to grasp the battle situation is absolutely first-class. The ability to control the battlefield is also quite sophisticated.

Although the offensive was in complex terrain, it fought with the Japanese army in the mountains. However, in the offensive posture it launched, it has always maintained a relaxed and orderly attack. When it's time to be bold and interspersed, it's absolutely not soft. When it's time to shrink, don't hesitate.

Although the battle was not as exciting as the large-scale detours of the Chaxi and Suidong battlefields, the tactics of the two old commanders knocked kraft candy piecemeal made the Japanese army who thought they relied on mountain defense extremely uncomfortable. In particular, the various units of the advancing army, in this battle, had a very strong independent combat capability, which made the Japanese army suffer enough.

During the Guyuan operation, a regiment was disrupted by the counterattacking Japanese army because the interspersed distance was too deep, and it was surrounded by three heads. After discovering that they were surrounded by Japanese puppet troops, the regiment did not panic, relying on the hill where it was located to organize resistance on the spot, and fought with the besieging Japanese puppet army for a whole day and a night.

Not only did it contain a large number of Japanese puppet troops, so that it could not be reinforced to other battlefields. And on the Japanese front, a large number of gaps were torn out. In the end, with the cooperation of the brother troops infiltrated from the surrounding area, the surrounding Japanese troops were defeated in one fell swoop. Directly caused the Japanese defense on the front line of Guyuan to be insufficient, and was recaptured by the advance army.

Despite the favorable terrain of the location, the battle situation fell for half a month. The Japanese army was stunned to find that their troops and defense line were unconsciously divided into pieces. After the various strongholds on the front line were divided and encircled, the miscellaneous ones were swallowed clean.

The entire battlefield was torn apart by this tactic. The depth has also penetrated into a large number of nails, and the deepest one has even reached the vicinity of Zhangjiakou. The independent mixed second brigade located on the front line was eaten bite by bite after being knocked apart little by little.

The offensive of the advance army was almost pervasive. As soon as one gap is opened in the defensive line, it means that there will be more gaps in the future. Even for a long time, the Japanese army did not find out where the main direction of attack of the advance army was.

By the time Lieutenant General Kumayoshi Harada, the commander of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, who was in charge of the command of the Chanan Battlefield, realized that something was wrong, the independent mixed second brigade had been gnawed away. Even his 27th Division was divided into four disconnected blocks. Even on the outskirts of Zhangjiakou, shells fell on the advancing army.

In the front of the Lightning River and the front line of the paddock, the first part of the advance army, after taking Duolun, along the Chaohe River and the Luanhe River basin, approached Xinyuan, Gubeikou and other points of the Outer Great Wall. A column with the advance army that had already captured Chengde joined forces at Fengning.

Faced with the unfavorable situation in Chanan, Suidong, and Suinan, as well as the sudden appearance of hostility in northern Shanxi. After several efforts, Okamura Ninji, who had finally resumed radio contact with the 110th Division and had a new understanding of the situation on the Suidong battlefield, was almost at a loss for the battle situation in front of him.

After completing the redress and training, the 18th Group Army exposed its strong combat effectiveness, which made Okamura Ningji feel extremely shocked. Although as early as when he was transferred to the post of commander of the North China Front, he knew that these communist armies were too inferior in equipment to the Japanese army. But both the will to fight and the ability to survive are a more tenacious opponent.

More importantly, the mountain warfare and the ability of this force to fight independently in a dispersed manner were not inferior to those of the Japanese army. In this battle, the tactics of shallow, deep and roundabout division and large-scale infiltration attack supported by heavy artillery fire made the Japanese army even more uncomfortable with its first frontal battle.

Okamura Ninji also did not expect that such a big change would take place in just a few months after these troops left the customs. Far from losing the original advantages, they are more flexible. And the original shortcomings have almost been made up for quite a bit.

In particular, the adoption of a series of new tactics in a short period of time pierced the defensive line built by the North China Front Army by relying on the favorable terrain in the mountainous areas. As a result, the Chanan battlefield was originally thought to be able to support the defense for several months, but it was already in a state of collapse on the whole front in only half a month.

Independently mixed into the 2nd Brigade Group, in less than ten days of fierce fighting. The entire mixed brigade was forcibly divided into seventeen separate formations that were not connected to each other. Then it was very leisurely and easy to be marched into, and it was eaten in one bite. When the 27th Division wanted to rescue, it found that its position had also been driven into countless nails.

Even their own troops were brutally worn out by this tactic. Not to mention the rescue independent mixed into the second brigade, even it itself was also divided. Although the progress of this tactic adopted by the advance army was a little slow, the effect was quite obvious. Most importantly, casualties and material consumption are greatly reduced.

The number of troops participating in the entire advance army in the Chanan battlefield was more than double that of the Chaxi and Suidong battlefields. However, after more than half a month of fierce fighting, the consumption of materials was only one-third of that of the frontal battlefield on the Western Front. The consumption of shells is only half. The mountain artillery shells and mortar shells that consume the most are less than eighty percent of the frontal battlefields on the Western Front.

Facing the old Eighth Road, which has been transformed and changed almost to him anymore. Coupled with the situation on the Western Front, which made him even more anxious, Okamura Ninji deeply felt that his biggest mistake was to underestimate the opponent's ability and the speed of improvement in military literacy.

At the same time, there was still a mistake in the judgment of the opponent's strategic intentions. What's even more wrong is that I underestimated their determination and courage. They even dared to adopt a large-scale penetration without rear in a frontal battle when they had not yet achieved absolute superiority.

Let the tank climb over the steep Yin Mountain, ignore the battlefield that is still in the fierce battle in front of it, and go straight to Suinan, the rear of the entire Suidong battlefield. Even boldly, in the case of a lone army, regardless of the dependence of a large number of tank troops on logistics, they went straight to the north gate of Shanxi and hit the north gate of Shanxi. If Datong, an important town in northern Shanxi, is lost, then the whole of Shanxi will be within its attack range.

Although he was already very cautious, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the enemy army. I didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of this enemy army from the northeast and south would be so strong. The 26th Division, which was independently mixed into the 9th Brigade and Regiment, was wiped out in a short period of time. The 110th Division is also difficult to protect itself.

The most important thing is that in terms of the quantity and quality of the enemy's weapons and equipment, the North China Front, together with the bastards of the Kwantung Army, are even more outrageously wrong. Didn't the guys of the Kwantung Army keep guaranteeing that the bandits in their mouths only had old-fashioned Soviet-made tanks? But where did all those new tanks that appeared on the battlefield come from?

The T-26 tank of the Soviet army is not unseen by itself. The Soviets provided a large number of T-26 tanks to the government army in China, and the Chinese army also fought against them on the battlefield in China. Where did those new-type tanks that appeared on the battlefield with even 75-millimeter guns tickle when they came from?

Moreover, on the battlefield of the Western Front, the new tanks of the enemy army that are now appearing on the battlefields of Suinan and Jinbei are not counted. The number of tanks the enemy put into the front alone far exceeded the judgment of the North China Front based on the number of enemy tanks provided by the Kwantung Army. Could it be that these tanks were all made by themselves?

Of course, the current Okamura Ninji now knows that he can't hold the Kwantung Army accountable. To solve the current dilemma of the war situation, the most important thing is to send reinforcements, not to hold accountable. The most important thing is that in the face of the general army of the Kwantung Army, as well as the general Umezu Mijiro who is deeply rooted in the entire military circles, it is not something that the commander of his own front army can do to hold him accountable.

But now the biggest headache for him is that the North China Front, which has been used to the extreme, where to find reinforcements? The three divisions directly under his North China Front have all been transferred to the front line to fight. The remaining independent mixed brigades of the troops directly under the front army have no troops to adjust unless they don't even want Pingjin and the Jizhong Plain.

Chanan and Suiyuan can give up when necessary, but the Jizhong Plain and Pingjin absolutely cannot give up. Once the troops are reduced and stationed, the North China Communist Army, which has retreated to the mountains, will immediately make a comeback. Once these extremely survivable guys are allowed to re-enter the Jizhong Plain, the results of last year's sweep are likely to come to naught.

After the cavalry group, the 26th Division, and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade were wiped out one after another, the troops stationed in Mongolia were almost wiped out. The 69th Division of the First Army was now trapped in Jining, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade was divided from Datong to Jining. The 36th Division stationed in Changzhi and the independent 4th Mixed Brigade in Yangquan had to protect the Zhengtai Railway.

Unless the North China Front really intends to completely abandon the Zhengtai Railway and abandon the whole of Shanxi, these two forces will absolutely not be able to mobilize even one squadron. After the 69th Division and the 41st Division were transferred, the 37th Division, the only one stationed in Yuncheng, had to defend the entire southeastern Shanxi region.

It is not only facing the first theater of the Chongqing side across the river, but also the main force of the more than 100,000 second theaters that are currently retreating to the southwest of Shanxi. If the 37th Division is being transferred, then it is equivalent to the entire southwest of Shanxi Province having to give up. The entire Shanxi garrison, the 41st Division, which could only be dispatched, was entangled by the communist army in the southeast of Shanxi. In a short period of time, it will not be able to assemble at all.

As for the three divisions and regiments of the 12th Army, plus the three independent mixed brigades, it was also necessary to ensure the control of Shandong by the front army, the security along the Tianjin-Pudong railway, the main artery between North China and Central China, and the pressure on the hundreds of thousands of troops in the First Theater of the Chongqing Front, which was across the river in Henan. The number of communist troops on the battlefield in Shandong was the largest in the whole of North China.

The 15th Division transferred from Central China was pinned down as soon as it arrived in Datong, and the 69th Division was now trapped on the Jining battlefield and could not get out. Where to find reinforcements? For Okamura Ninji, it is undoubtedly quite a headache now. Judging from the current war situation, if a large number of reinforcements cannot be put in in a short period of time, the entire Shanxi and Chanan battlefields are in danger of collapsing.
