According to his train of thought, according to previous combat experience . Although the strength of his eastward march was only one regiment, compared to the seven battalions concentrated in that battle, and all the firepower. The disparity in the number of troops and firepower invested is indeed too great. Compared with three battalions and seven battalions, this is more than a cut in strength.

But I don't have to eat how many of your troops, I can't eat one infantry brigade at a time, I can eat one or two squadrons in one battle, can I add up to a lot. Even if the Japanese army that came to the aid was an infantry brigade, then I didn't have to annihilate them all, as long as I could inflict heavy losses, it would be considered a victory.

Although my unit does not have an infantry battalion like the brother troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it dares to fight an offensive battle with an infantry brigade of the Japanese army. But as long as you don't get close to the vicinity of Beipiao City, you can take as much as you can take advantage of the cheapness, and you don't suffer a loss anyway.

As for the Japanese army in Chaoyang City, they abandoned Chaoyang City and went all out to break through to the north. It's not that he hasn't worried about this possibility, and the incident of an armored train in Chaoyang before, taking advantage of the fact that he has not yet surrounded him, rushed out of Chaoyang Station and went straight to the direction of Beipiao, which gave him a wake-up call.

Therefore, when he arrived at the periphery of Chaoyang, he directly stripped off one-third of the railway line from Yugou to Mamigou along the way from Chaoyang to Beipiao. He didn't pick it all up, first, because he didn't have time to do it, and secondly, he couldn't pull out so many troops to do this kind of thing.

In the old base area of Taihang, these things are generally done by mobilizing the common people. In the old base areas, as long as they say hello to the local authorities and local armed forces, tens of thousands of ordinary people can be mobilized to participate. But now that I can only rely on myself in Liaoxi, I don't have so much time.

However, despite the tight schedule and lack of manpower, the railway lines that need to be destroyed are relatively long. But in the end, because of the frequent destruction of the railway, it was called the old army of the road picker army by the people of North China. Its actions on the railroad are not only fast, practice makes perfect, but also quite professional.

In addition, the two engineer companies attached to the Anti-Union were provided with advice in some respects, as well as some tools carried. When destroying the railway, although it did not take the method of destroying the railway in the Kannai, it was a 180-degree turnover, the rails were taken away and sent to the arsenal, and the sleepers were piled up and burned down.

However, at the suggestion of the commander of the engineer company of the Anti-Japanese Union, many methods were adopted that could not only save time but also greatly reduce the carrying capacity of the railway. In the direction of the rising sun, the two rows of road studs on each sleeper on the railway, all of them were unscrewed one by one, and the remaining one was also unscrewed out two-thirds. The fishtail plate road spikes at the seams of the rails are also unscrewed by two-thirds.

The roadbed was hollowed out and the inside was covered with wood, which was then covered with gravel. The hollowed-out distance is calculated, and a very thin earthen wall is used as a temporary load-bearing in the middle, and the entire hollowed-out distance can be placed into a locomotive. All the bridges have also been damaged to a certain extent.

Blow up two-thirds of the main pillar in the middle facing east, leaving the remaining third standing there. He is proficient in business, coupled with the engineer company commander trained by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and he has a wide variety of wilting and damaging ideas, and his means of destruction can be described as diverse.

When the train is moving, if you don't get off the train and look closely, you can't tell that the railway has been sabotage. But once the train is on it, there is only one consequence, and that is 100% derailment. As long as the railway line is blocked, even if the Japanese army in Chaoyang forcibly retreats to the north, they can be stopped in the direction they choose.

So after leaving the main forces under Chaoyang City, and at the same time leaving half of the light and heavy machine guns captured in the Sihan River Valley. He personally commanded the strength of a regiment and continued to attack and advance in the northeast direction, directly penetrating Daban Town, cutting off the passage of Japanese reinforcements from Yixian to the north.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he commanded the troops arrived at Daban, an important town in the south of Beipiao, they encountered two infantry squadrons drawn from Yixian by the Japanese army. As soon as the two armies came into contact, a small but far-reaching battle broke out on the Jincheng Railway at Daban, the southern gateway of Beipiao, a key point on the Jincheng Railway 13 kilometers away from the county seat of Beipiao.

The scale of this battle was not large, but it made the two Japanese lieutenant generals Washizu and Yokoyama Shizuo break out in a cold sweat. On the front line of the big board close to the south of the northern ticket, the enemy army suddenly appeared. Let the two people unanimously believe that this is the enemy army to carry out the decapitation tactic, first hit the north ticket where the army headquarters is located.

While breaking out in a cold sweat, in the face of a situation where there are no soldiers to adjust, these two are also at a loss. If there is an enemy army on the front line of Daban, the troops of Yixian and Jinzhou will not be able to reinforce. Unless Chaoyang is abandoned, and heavy troops are mobilized from Fuxin to return to help, the entire battlefield in western Liaoning will now have no troops to rescue Beipiao.

With nothing to do, Lieutenant General Washizu could only order the armored train that was escorting the Chaoyang troops to Beipiao to be dispatched immediately. The two squadrons that had just arrived in Beipiao and had not yet gotten off the train, under the escort of the ironclad car, immediately went south to reopen the front line of Daban and receive reinforcements from Yixian and Jinzhou.

As for the strength of the Fuxin frontline, the command is now no longer under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant General Washitsu. After the entire western Liaoning battlefield began, Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro directly placed the troops stationed on the front line from Fuxin to Beizhen and Montenegro under the command of Lieutenant General Akashiba Yaezo, commander of the 25th Division of the Kwantung Army, and placed them under the direct jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

In other words, the only thing he can command at the moment is the troops west of Fuxin. And the line east of Fuxin to Mukden, that is, the main force of the 25th Division, is now in the hands of Umezu Mijiro. These troops numbered a considerable amount, accounting for a quarter of his original force.

But now he has a soldier and can no longer be mobilized. Without this quarter of the troops, the impact on his entire operational follow-up deployment would be considerable. The war is going well, but these forces are not needed. But now the war situation is progressing, but it is not smooth. Without these troops, there is no doubt that the entire deployment of Washizu is very constrained.

Now there are only two ways in front of Lieutenant General Washitsu Leadping, one is to order the troops on the Jianping battlefield to break through at all costs and go south to reinforce the Beipiao battlefield. Even if it is the strength of the participating troops, it can withdraw two infantry brigades, which will be a help to the Beipiao battlefield.

But this hope is undoubtedly very elusive now, because it is not easy to attack, but it is not easy to retreat either. Especially when the enemy's forces on the battlefield in the northeast of Jianping are still barely dominant. Is it so easy for troops to retreat smoothly if they go deep behind enemy lines?

Either give up the North Ticket or Chaoyang, and gather the forces of the North Ticket and Chaoyang together to ensure a little need. But whether it is to give up Chaoyang or give up the North Ticket, it is undoubtedly a difficult choice for Lieutenant General Washitsu Leadpei. The importance of the North Ticket is no longer needed. Give up the North Ticket, Admiral Umezu Mijiro can't get through there.

However, although Chaoyang does not produce coal, it is an important link connecting the two strategic groups of the Japanese army inside and outside the Chinese battlefield, and the entire strategic position is extremely important, and it is the gateway between Jinzhou and Rehe. If Chaoyang is lost, Lingyuan and Jianping, the only controlled areas of the Kwantung Army in Redong, will be tantamount to giving up. Abandoning the two county towns is a very tangled matter for Lieutenant General Washitsu at the moment.

However, as for the judgment of Lieutenant General Washizu Leadhei, Major General Watanabe Hiroshi, who is the chief of staff of the Fourth Army, does not agree very much. Based on the judgment of previous intelligence and the entire battle situation, he believed that it was impossible for the enemy army to invade Liaoxi on a large scale when the Jianping battlefield was still fighting fiercely. In other words, the enemy's current actions in the western Liaoning region can only be containment and harassing at best.

Distracting the Fourth Army from the Jianping Battlefield prevented the Fourth Army from reinforcing the Jianping Battlefield. As for completely taking down the front line of Ye Baishou, Chaoyang, and Beipiao, according to the number of troops they have invested on the battlefield so far, it is not enough to form a fundamental threat. That is to say, on these two points, its forces are more than bluffing, but their real hard combat capabilities are insufficient.

And even if it is won, it will be difficult to hold it after the battle situation is stable. Judging from the entire situation in Manchuria, the enemy's existing strength was not enough to support a deep penetration into the western Liaoning region. Even from the perspective of the post-war situation, it is impossible to deploy a large number of troops in western Liaoning.

Rear Admiral Watanabe's judgment is still very well-founded. He believed that the strength of the enemy in front of the Fourth Army was no more than one division plus two brigades. Under the condition that it is necessary to ensure the security of the area under the control of Rehe, it is impossible to complete the offensive on the entire battlefield in western Liaoning.

And Rehe, as the connection between Ximan and Chahar and Suiyuan battlefields, is of great importance to its entire war situation. It also made it impossible to completely ignore the safety of Rehe and invest all its forces on the Rehe battlefield in the western Liaoning battlefield. Therefore, the existing forces that the enemy army put into the battlefield in western Liaoxi are, at best, a harassment of Beipiao and Chaoyang.

If they really want to completely occupy Beipiao and Chaoyang, they need to add at least one more division to their troops. This is still according to the standards of the old anti-Japanese alliance, and as for its so-called advance army, it will need at least three to five brigades. And now, they simply can't come up with so many troops.

Especially in the Jianping battlefield in the northwest direction, which is still in a stalemate, the forces that can be invested in the Beipiao and Chaoyang directions are even more limited. Although this enemy army has now occupied Ye Baishou, it is not enough to threaten the safety of Chaoyang and Beipiao.

After all, Ye Baishou's defenders originally only had one squadron of the Japanese army, plus the Manchurian armed police, and part of the Manchurian Railway Police Escort Regiment. Although after losing contact with the western battlefield of Jianping, Washizu led Ping quickly mobilized some troops to reinforce. However, in Ye Baishou's local battlefield, the enemy still has an advantage in terms of strength.

But at the moment of Chaoyang and Beipiao, not only the defenders are far more powerful than Ye Baishou. Moreover, the fortifications of the two places are complete, and the number of Manchurian police is much more than that of Ye Baishou. These people do not have the ability to fight in the field, but they still have the ability to hide inside the fortifications and shoot outside.

Moreover, although the strength of the defenders in the two places is not too much, the amount of ammunition is extremely sufficient.

As long as it can't hold out, then the enemy army will attack a little at all costs. Otherwise, the troops invested in the two battlefields can only ensure that they are harassed outside the city, and they are simply unable to launch an attack on Beipiao and Chaoyang at the same time. And judging from the movements of the enemy army outside Chaoyang and Beipiao, it seems that they are not very willing to forcibly attack the city.

What Watanabe means is that the current situation has not deteriorated to such a difficult situation. The enemy forces around Chaoyang and Beipiao City were only two infantry regiments plus three infantry battalions, and their strength was not enough to attack the two cities at the same time. Moreover, the two enemy armies have different formations, and their subordinate units belong to two different formations.

Although, in general, so far there has been no separate battle. The cooperation between the two different formations on the battlefield can be regarded as a very tacit understanding. However, there are obvious differences in the combat effectiveness and equipment of the two armies, and the structures are different, so I am afraid that command will not be so easy at a critical time. This is undoubtedly the deployment of enemy troops on any battlefield, and it is a rather deadly hidden danger.
