For Yang Zhen, he was going to Dou at the moment to stop moving forward according to Sasaki to Ichichi's order. The ass of the 24th Wing, which was building fortifications and preparing to join a brigade of the 17th Wing of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army from Heli, was not his appetite.

Yang Zhen is not the kind of person who has a belly of eight taels and insists on eating a catty. Perhaps it was a habit developed in later generations, and he paid more attention to the combination of steadiness and adventure in marching and fighting. That is, not blindly taking risks, nor seeking too much stability. If we seek stability too much, it is easy to delay fighters in many cases. And being too adventurous is more likely to bring danger.

He paid more attention to the flexible use of troops according to the situation on the battlefield, rather than rigidly implementing the original battle plan. Therefore, since the operation of the Liangzi River, Yang Zhen has adjusted his operational deployment twice in a row according to the battlefield situation.

Although the two adjustments have not yet seen too many results, they have played a certain role after all. The tactical adjustment of Tongguò and the continuous mobilization of the Japanese army made the distance between the Japanese army on the middle route and the Japanese army on the northern route wider and larger. Brought a good fighter to the next operation.

And the death of Lieutenant General Sasaki to the first lieutenant smashed the brains of the Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression, making the two Japanese troops lose their unified command.

Japanese troops in three directions, commanded by three wing commanders who were personally on the front line. And there is no affiliation with each other. The most lethal thing is that the three-way Japanese army belongs to three different formations. Although the coordination between the various units of the Japanese army far exceeds that of the current Chinese army. However, without unified command, at least in terms of operational deployment and mutual coordination, it will certainly fall into a certain amount of confusion.

After Sasaki was killed, not counting the Japanese puppet army on the South Road that had been completely wiped out. Before the Japanese army was reappointed with unified command, in fact, the other two Japanese armies had already formed a situation of fighting their own battles. In this way, you will be better able to find the next fighter.

In his words, many battles can be done with a 40% certainty. If the Japanese army gathered all their troops into a group this time, Yang Zhen might even abandon the base in the secret warehouse of the Japanese army in Qunce Mountain.

Because he knew that the troops who had completed only the most basic training, although they had an advantage in numbers and firepower. But the gap in training is not something that can be bridged in a short period of time. This disparity even offset his superiority in strength and firepower in considerable terms.

Even if the Japanese army is in a group, even if they concentrate all their firepower, it will be difficult to defeat or even eat the Japanese army in a short period of time when the superiority in strength is not too great, so as to break the Japanese army's clearance. Even if you defeat the Japanese army, it may be very difficult.

And it was Sasaki's division of troops that created an excellent fighter for himself, which gave him the opportunity to concentrate the main force and most of the firepower to eat one of the three Japanese troops, breaking the encirclement that the Japanese army had formed.

In the first battle of Yuntou Lizi, if he said that he had achieved it because of the great development of the strength of the troops, it was better to say that he was too cautious. In addition to sending reconnaissance troops to the Jiamusi area, they did not forget the direction of Yilan in the south and Luobei in the north. The enemy sent reconnaissance troops, so that the initiative on the battlefield could be in their own hands.

Especially in the direction of Yilan on the South Road, if you don't figure out the specific movements of the Japanese army on this road early, once you fall into a stalemate with the Japanese army on the middle or north route, you are likely to be attacked by it and fall into a situation where you will be attacked on your back or even on three sides.

Compared with the Jiamusi frontline, although the roads and terrain are not conducive to the operation of large troops. But it is precisely for this reason that Yang Zhen did not forget the direction of jì. The safest place it seems, the more dangerous situations are likely to occur, and Yang Zhen has not forgotten this.

Yang Zhen still understands the truth of "soldiers are treacherous". For the Japanese army, who is good at making roundabouts and breakthroughs, has a tenacious personality, and is good at enduring hardships and standing hard work, although the mountains and forests of Beiman are dense, they are not an insurmountable barrier.

However, it was precisely because the road and terrain of the South Road, and the fact that it was too close to the railway line, was not conducive to the battle of a large army on his side, so Yang Zhen chose that direction for the first battle. Surprise and ambush are tactics that Yang Zhen has used most of the time since he returned to this world.

Sasaki is too confident. His self-confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, which he had dealt with for many years and the Nationalist army on the frontal battlefield in Kannai, led him to wishfully believe that in addition to the overly alternative troops such as the Fourth Division, one brigade of the Imperial Army was enough to resist the attack of thousands of troops of the Anti-Japanese Union.

And it was precisely with this confidence that he dared to formulate this division of troops to attack. Use one as bait to attract them to be fooled. After luring them out of the mountains, the main force adopted the tactics of encircling the flanks and the rear, striving to encircle and annihilate Yang Zhen's troops in the northwest area of Tangyuan in one go. It was his self-confidence that gave Yang Zhenchuang an excellent fighter.

However, although the next fighter plane that has been exposed so far looks very attractive, the general training that has almost not stopped a few days ago, coupled with the continuous rush operations, has made Yang Zhen's department withstand the test, but it is really exhausted to the extreme. In fact, Yang Zhen is not very sure about how much combat strength his troops still have after continuous battles.

But at this moment, even if Yang Zhen knew that he couldn't fight, he could only fight hard. Although Sasaki was killed, the Japanese army could quickly mobilize another commander to replace him. If you don't want to find a way to defeat one of the remaining two Japanese armies, once the two Japanese armies converge and re-form a reinforced wing, it will be the greatest pressure on yourself.

Yang Zhen was not afraid of the division of the Japanese army, for him, the more dispersed the Japanese army, the more fighters there were. What he feared was that the Japanese army would converge into a heavy group. When the time comes, let alone one wing, even if it is two brigades, even if they have the advantage of firepower, they will not be able to solve it in a short period of time when they are in a tough encounter.

The battle was an accident that cannot be replicated. In that battle, he perfectly achieved tactical suddenness and concentrated use of firepower. The initiative in that battle was firmly in his own hands.

After the first battle, his strategic and tactical intentions have been exposed. As the main force, the two brigades of the Japanese army on the middle route and the Japanese army on the north route have a tendency to move closer.

If you can't eat one of the two Japanese armies before they converge. Once the Japanese troops stationed in Jiamusi are quickly reinforced, the advantage they have gained will be lost. Even if he repeated the mistakes of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, he could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests again. Or the possibility of crossing the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and retreating to the Songnen Plain. So in the next battle, whether Yang Zhen is reluctant or not, he will fight it.

At the same time that the artillery regiment directly under the command was carrying out a fierce artillery bombardment on Taipingchuan Village, where the Japanese army's temporary advance headquarters was located, Yang Zhen received a command from Guo Bingxun, who was commanding two battalions to carry out a false attack on the Japanese army starting from Heli. And the telegram that the enemy has dispatched.

After receiving Guo Bingxun's telegram, Yang Zhen knew immediately that the battle had reached this point, and his bluffing actions had lost their effect. His tactical intentions have been exposed.

A quick evacuation of the Taipingchuan line is a must. To the north there were several other group tribes established by the Japanese army. The earth-shattering fight he fought in the Taiping River can be detected even by the dead. Once the Japanese troops stationed in Jiamusi receive reports from the puppet Manchurian police of other group tribes and quickly mobilize reinforcements, they will have the possibility of being encircled.

The mobility of the Japanese army was far from being comparable to that of marching on foot alone. It is necessary to evacuate as quickly as possible, but Yang Zhen is still a little hesitant about whether the next combat direction will point to which Japanese army.

Even if he defeated two of his squadrons in the Taipingchuan area, he was beaten by Wang Guangyu piecemeal along the way. However, its total strength was the strongest among the two Japanese armies on the North Route before the convergence of the two Japanese brigades. To be honest, Yang Zhen really has no confidence in whether he can take him down in one go.

Although he chose to cooperate with Wang Guangyu to eat the enemy in the middle first, it was because in his opinion, the enemy in the middle was the main force of the Japanese army's attack this time. As long as the enemy in the middle is defeated, it is equivalent to breaking the entire plan of the Japanese army to attack this time. The remaining Japanese troops on the North Route could only retreat to the Jiamusi area in the face of a lone battle.

However, can his troops defeat the enemy in the middle in a short period of time, and at the same time, Guo Bingxun on the north road can hold back the Japanese army when the Japanese army strength has increased to two brigades. Whether the Japanese army in Jiamusi can be quickly reinforced, this is something that Yang Zhen must consider. For Yang Zhen, the Japanese Fourth Division stationed in Jiamusi was the problem he was most worried about when he carried out the next operation.

Not only is the Taipingchuan line too close to Jiamusi, but even the Jianshanzi line is far away from Jiamusi? Although the Fourth Division itself had contact with it, it had long been known in later generations. But Yang Zhen is still very worried about it.

Is the 8th Wing that I encountered in the mountainous area north of Dunhua a special case of the 4th Division, or are the 4th Division's wings all of this virtue? Yang Zhen couldn't figure it out. He only knew that if he underestimated any opponent on the battlefield, he would have to pay the price of blood.

After being silent for a while, Yang Zhen decided to listen to other people's opinions. With Guo Bingxun still far away on the front line of the Fasi River, Yang Zhen summoned Dong Ping, one of his most valued subordinates. Talking about his thoughts rather than his thoughts, he consulted Dong Ping's views on the next battle.

Dong Ping, who was assembling the team and preparing to set off, was called by Yang Zhen, after listening to Yang Zhen's thoughts, Dong Ping did not answer immediately, after looking at the map for a while, he raised his head and looked at Yang Zhen's trusting gaze and said: "Commander, since we must fight next, why do we have to look at the two Japanese forces in front of us?" ”

"Look, Commander. Now the Japanese army in the center has at least one more brigade of troops. Coupled with the puppet Manchurian military and police, it should be said that the strength of the army is still relatively strong. Although the Japanese army on the North Road had two brigades, they were on the line of the Heli River and the Faji River, and they were in two different positions. ”

"If we attack the enemy in the middle first, once the two Japanese brigades on the north road converge and launch an all-out attack and move closer to the Japanese army in the center, it will be difficult for the two battalions under the command of Chief of Staff Guo to hold them back."

"Although the equipment of our army is not bad, it is still incomparable with the Japanese army. The strength of the two battalions could hardly withstand the repeated onslaught of the two Japanese brigades in a regular positional battle. "

"Besides, after dawn, the Japanese army can still get air support. The Japanese army had a field airfield south of the county seat of Yubara. Its air support can reach the battlefield in a very short time. With the support of the enemy's ground-to-air firepower, even if our troops were twice as strong as the Japanese troops, they could not necessarily withstand the attacks of the two Japanese brigades. ”

"And the Japanese army in the middle has stopped advancing and has begun to build fortifications. Judging from our current combat effectiveness, even if there is a large amount of artillery support, it is difficult to eat the Japanese troops in the middle in a short period of time under a hard-fought situation. ”

"Once the war drags on, it will not be over in a short time. In addition, the strength of the two battalions of Chief of Staff Guo on the North Road could not hold back the two Japanese brigades for too long, so we could easily find ourselves in the situation of being exposed to the enemy on our backs. ”

"And if we attack the Japanese army on the north route first, we must not only strengthen the forces of Deputy Chief of Staff Wang in order to block the Japanese army on the middle road to move closer to the north road, but also divide our troops to block the Japanese army starting from Heli. As a result, the forces we can use to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army on the northern route are quite limited. ”

In fact, under the situation that the Japanese army advanced westward and the Japanese army on the south route was completely annihilated, the Japanese army still formed a three-way offensive situation. It's just that now the Japanese army on the middle route is the flank of the southern front, and the Japanese army on the northern route has inadvertently become a situation that is responsible for the left and right strategies and serves as the main force. ”

"And now the Japanese army on the northern front, which is actually the main force of the central attack, has only one brigade of troops, and the strength is relatively thin. The strength cannot be compared with the previous situation where the Japanese army in the middle had a wing and a regiment of the puppet Manchurian army. In addition, they had already entered the mountains to fight, and the strength of this brigade was simply not enough. ”

"So I think the situation is very good for us right now. For us, the most important thing now is not to fight the Japanese army on the middle road or the north road. The most important thing is that the enemy must not be allowed to converge with the Japanese army on the front line of the Fasi River. ”

Hearing Dong Ping's analysis, Yang Zhen nodded appreciatively, and then said, "You mean to fight the enemy who has now entered the front line of the Fasi River first?" ”

Dong Ping shook his head and said, "Commander, I just said that it is not the best policy to hit the Jianshanzi line or the Fasi River line first. My opinion is that if you want to fight, you will fight this part of the Japanese puppet army dispatched by Tsuruta. ”

"Whether we turn to the Jianshanzi line or the Fasi River line, the straight-line distance is about the same. Since we have to run the same road, it is better to look at the situation, or cross the Gejie River to the north and go straight to the line from Wang Duzitun to Xihetun. Or directly into the first line of Miaolingzi Mountain. Divide the two Japanese brigades. ”

"Although the chief of staff has only two battalions and some reconnaissance units, it is very difficult to block the strength of the two Japanese brigades with all his might. But it was still possible to hold back the strength of a large battalion of the Japanese army. I think he can open the line of the Fasi River and let the Japanese army cross the river. ”

"As soon as the Japanese crossed the line of the Hoji River, there was a considerable gap between them and the enemy who had been dispatched by Hetachi. Judging from the current situation of the Japanese troops on the front line of the Faji River, Sasaki Zhiyi should have given them a death order, and they must move closer to the Jianshanzi line. But for themselves, the day between the two brigades was so easy to make up. So it's going to be a great fighter for us. ”

"After letting the Japanese army cross the Fasi River, neither the chief of staff nor Deputy Chief of Staff Wang had to resist the Japanese troops in front of them too stubbornly. It's just that he adopted the delaying tactics adopted by Deputy Chief of Staff Wang, using natural barriers such as the Gejin River and the Jike River and the mountains and forests in this area to delay their convergence time as much as possible, and then not to let them join forces before your side starts. ”

"As soon as your side starts, they will immediately converge in one place, concentrate all their forces and firepower, and do their best to drag the Japanese army north to reinforce them. Give us the enemy to surround and annihilate the crane and buy time. As for the next operation after the completion of the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy who stands out, we can depend on the development of the battle situation. ”

"The reason why I proposed to fight this part of the Japanese army that was dispatched first is that in addition to the fact that this part of the Japanese army is now a real lone army, another important reason is that whether it is Wang Duzitun or Miaolingzishan, the first line is not far from our secret base in Qunce Mountain. We can replenish ammunition and transport the wounded nearby. ”

Dong Ping said as Yang Zhen quickly carried out his homework on the map with the pencil in his hand. When Dong Ping's words fell, Yang Zhen had already completed the homework on the map.

Looking at the enemy situation marked on the map, Yang Zhen quickly analyzed the enemy situation on the entire battlefield in his heart, and immediately understood Dong Ping's thoughts. After pondering carefully for a while, Yang Zhen made up his mind and said, "Okay, just follow your plan and concentrate the main force to fight the enemy first." ”

After Yang Zhen looked at his watch, he said: "Now that Liu Changshun has a battalion and an engineer battalion, he should have completed the destruction of the Jiasui Railway. I think I can get him to reinforce the chief of staff there. And when the chief of staff retreated from the line of the Fasi River, I thought that a battalion could be left to hide on the line of the Fasi River. After the arrival of the main force, immediately block the retreat of the Japanese army entering the mountain from the line of the Fasi River, and cooperate with the main force to fight. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen nod and agree that he would fight the enemy first, Dong Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "Commander, I think what you are most worried about is not the enemy on the front line of Jianshanzi and Fasi River, but the fourth division of Jiamusi. In any case, there is an integrated division of the Japanese army here, and the location is the closest to the battlefield. Once it is fully reinforced, it will be difficult for us to resist. ”

"For example, if I take a reconnaissance platoon and a radio station, change into civilian clothes and go east to the north bank of the Songhua River along the Jiasui Railway to conduct reconnaissance. Due to the terrain restrictions, it was a necessary passage for the Japanese army to reinforce the battlefield except for passing through the county seat of Yubara. Once there is any movement of the Japanese army in Jiamusi, with us nailed there, you can receive a report as soon as possible, so that we will not fall into passivity. ”

Regarding Dong Ping's construction, Yang Zhen thought about it slightly before nodding and said, "Yes, but you can't just bring one platoon." I'll leave you two platoons. It is close to Jiamusi, and it is the location of the puppet Sanjiang Provincial Office, and the enemy and puppet forces are very large. I can rest assured with a little more troops. ”

"You must be more careful when you lead a small army to move there, and try not to come into contact with people. Don't take any risks outside of reconnaissance. No matter what happens, don't go head-to-head with the Japanese army. ”

"As soon as there is a change in the shape, immediately withdraw to the Qunce Mountain. In any case, you are going to give me back alive. Remember. Each and every one of you is a treasure, not for fighting the enemy to the death. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's respect and care, Dong Ping solemnly saluted Yang Zhen with a standard military salute and said, "Commander, I will definitely remember your words, and I will definitely bring all the team members back safely." Commander, it's getting late, and it's time for you to go. The sooner you start on your side, the safer my side will be. “
