At present, although this first protégé of the Son of Heaven is only the deputy commander of the Eighth War Zone, he holds the real power of the entire Eighth War Zone. Compared with the general office without power, in fact, it is a deputy commander who is set up to balance the factions, and he does not know Lixu.

And after this battle is over, straightening is almost a sure thing. At this time, I went out of the southwest of Jin, not just to accumulate capital. The old man has become a good man, this veteran of the Sichuan army who has been fighting in Sichuan for decades, this point is no longer understood, and it is in vain that he has maintained his independence for so many years in the Sichuan army with complex factions.

These two mothers-in-law, one of whom has been in the dragon for a long time and has old seniority, belong to the founding heroes all the way. For a long time, he has been highly regarded and has a wide range of contacts at the top. One is a rising star in the Central Army, known as the first protégé of the Son of Heaven, and his subordinates are basically the elite of the Central Army.

These two sentences can revoke the person of his establishment, he cannot afford to offend anyone, and it will not work if the order in that regard is not carried out. But how can there be the best of both worlds in this world? After returning to the battlefield in central Henan, after only one day in the face of multiple commanders, he found that his two divisions had been transferred in a mess.

He is now the commander-in-chief of the group army with only one corps under his command, two divisions and a special service battalion directly under the General Assembly, and only one special service battalion directly under him has been transferred. The commander of the army, because the two divisions were transferred by the two mothers-in-law one each, also became an empty commander.

Compared with this who is now married to a daughter and two people, neither of the two in-laws has the right to command him, and no one can afford to offend. And the veteran of the Sichuan army who was commanded by many heads and had big heads. On the contrary, the deputy commander of the First Theater who had been undertaking the main combat mission was much more free and easy at this time.

At present, when he fought alone for seven days and paid a heavy price, finally contained the offensive of the 37th Division, and dragged the Japanese troops in the division to thin and hairy, everyone was also very angry about the behavior of grabbing the fruit. But after all, he is also a long-time veteran, and he still has this energy.

In addition, under the condition that its own troops did not have an absolute superiority in strength and were at an absolute disadvantage in firepower, the casualties in continuous combat were huge, and the casualties of the 35 th Army, the main force, were already nearly half. Moreover, after the long march to Luoyang, before they had time to rest, they fell into a bitter battle, and the troops were extremely tired.

The key is to obtain some food and ammunition supplies after arriving in the First War Zone. After seven days of hard fighting, two-thirds of the ammunition carried and allocated by the First War Zone had been consumed. However, they did not see the troops in the First War Zone, which gave themselves a bullet or a shell to replenish them, and they had reached the point where they could no longer be replenished.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them joined in, causing chaos in the command of the entire battlefield, he knew that now was definitely not the time to be greedy for merit. He didn't think that those arrogant generals of the Central Army could be commanded by himself, a miscellaneous general. When it's time to pull your hand, you must be decisive.

After the commander of the theater commanded the Fourth Army arrived, he took the opportunity to hand over the battlefield to this boss who did not hesitate to condescend to the knee to pick up the bargain. With his two corps and two cavalry brigades, he quickly gathered and withdrew to the Linru line south of Luoyang to rest.

The two armies of the other people have a complete structure and sufficient soldiers, which are far from being comparable to the two armies that have been crippled. There will be absolutely no problem in transferring their positions to the Fourth Army in their entirety. However, this veteran is also interesting enough, and it was not until all the receiving troops arrived that he handed over the position one-on-one.

There was no such thing as the Fourth Army, whether it had arrived or not, and it had withdrawn directly after receiving the order to change its defense, as for the enemy troops in front of it. The new deputy commander of any theater of operations has done nothing in this regard. There were even two regiments left behind to fight with the Fourth Army.

The new deputy commander of any theater of operations, who chose Mingzhe to protect himself, withdrew from the battlefield with the whole army to rest and recuperate after gathering his troops. As for how to divide the fruit left, it is a matter between their Whampoa families. It's not that I'm a ragtag general, I should go to the cooperation.

At present, it is necessary to withdraw the troops and recover their vitality as soon as possible, as well as to urge the Fourth Cavalry Army, which has just arrived in Xi'an, plus one division, and the 5,000 recruits who carry three new regiments with the army, to return to the formation as soon as possible. He is not at ease about leaving this army, which is extremely mobile and combative, in Shaanxi for too long.

The deputy commander of the Eighth War Zone, who is currently fighting in the First War Zone, has a consistent preference for annexing a ragtag army like himself. There are three armies in their own hands, and only by joining them together can they maintain their combat effectiveness. If an army is annexed like this, it will be too harmful to one's own troops.

Moreover, in the First War Zone, I don't know when I will be able to replenish the two armies that have actually been disabled in my hands. The 5,000 recruits who had completed their basic training and were assigned weapons and could be incorporated into the army were what he urgently needed to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops that had suffered heavy casualties.

After the whole army shrank to the Linru line, this person had contact with the Anti-Japanese Federation in Houtao before. At present, it is the first fierce general of the Jin Sui Army who is not far away from the Anti-Japanese Union in Hebei. While looking at the current situation in Hebei, the interest in the confrontation alliance has become even stronger.

During the recuperation period, he asked the intelligence department of the First War Zone for the entire process of the Anti-Japanese Federation's operation in Hebei. While reorganizing the troops, they carefully studied it. The more carefully he studied, the more interested he became in Yang Zhen, the supreme military commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

He was studying Yang Zhen, but he didn't know that Yang Zhen in Hejian County was also studying him at the same time. Since the Chongqing side launched a counterattack campaign in the direction of Yuncheng and eastern Henan. Yang Zhen, who has been closely observing the battle situation, is also more interested in this famous general after mastering the entire process of the battle between Henan and China.

However, compared to him, who was in the recuperation period and had a lot of time to study Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen didn't have much time to study him at the moment. In fact, the First War Zone has been stopped, and after this counterattack in eastern Henan, Yang Zhen cannot but consider the chain reaction triggered.

In fact, the counterattack against Chongqing, although some of it was indeed unexpected by Yang Zhen, most of the outcome was still in his expectations. That is to say, on the Chongqing side, the counterattack battle between southwest Shanxi and eastern Henan is basically in accordance with his judgment. On the whole, the fight was not more exciting than Yang Zhen expected.

In this counterattack, Chongqing's old problems have not been fundamentally improved. When it's time to be decisive, it's a procrastination. When it should be more steady, it is frizzy again. At the critical moment, there is still no change in the habit of not being able to go to the wolf on the dog.

The battle of Yuncheng allowed several weak armies to charge ahead. Two of the most well-equipped and best-trained armies, plus a division of fully mechanized equipment, watched the battle motionlessly from behind. Maintaining a combat-ready force in the reserves is the right choice on the battlefield. But you can't put two of the strongest armies, plus a well-equipped division, in reserve.

Let those poorly equipped and poorly equipped troops charge you forward. Put the two most well-equipped corps, all in reserve. With such a deployment, where will it not let the subordinates deviate from morality and give you their lives during the war? The most important thing is that it also affects the development and progress of the war.

The overall coordination and cooperation on the battlefield is still as messy as ever. The central army and the local factions are still full of contradictions, calculating each other, and even guarding against each other in the course of the war. Everyone is preserving their strength, the miscellaneous army is like this, and the Central Army is also like this.

The biggest highlight of this battle is probably the battle fought by the former King of Suixi, the latest deputy commander of the First War Zone, in the western battlefield of Luoyang. His judgment of the development of the battlefield situation, his grasp of the pulse of Yuichiro Nagano's actions, and his prediction of changes in the entire battle situation can be described as quite accurate.

If it weren't for the fact that he had adopted the tactic of attacking instead of defending in the battlefield west of Luoyang, he had stubbornly entangled the 37th Division, making it impossible to achieve its follow-up combat goals. I am afraid that at that time, it will not be the Japanese army encircled by the First Theater, but the Japanese army will encircle several group armies in eastern Henan that will attack in the First Theater.

Once it reaches that point, not to mention that the battlefield in eastern Henan will completely collapse, the entire First War Zone will probably fall into chaos. It is not good that the eastern part of Henan was not recovered, but was invaded by the Japanese army into central Henan. The battlefield in this battle can be fought like this, and this person can be said to be absolutely the first merit. After looking at this person, the entire performance of this battle in Henan.

Looking at this person's performance in the western battlefield of Luoyang, Yang Zhen believed that if he was given two fully equipped armies, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the 37th Division to escape from his hands. Even if one of the First Army or the Ninety Army is assigned to his command. Of course, the premise is that if the proud soldiers of these two armies can obey his command, the fate of the 37th Division will not be much better.

In this battle, this person showed the decisiveness of killing, the orderliness of advance and retreat, and the strong ability to grasp the fighter. It can be said that Chongqing is the best one among all the commanders participating in this counterattack, far surpassing the first protégé of the Son of Heaven in the Eighth War Zone. Not to mention the ability to analyze and grasp the entire battle situation alone, the two of them are not at the same level.

If this person were to command the Battle of Yuncheng, with so many well-equipped troops. I'm afraid that the 37th Division will not be able to escape, and there will be no such battle in central Henan. An extremely strong opponent, a qualified commander of the Front. If he is given a wider world, his deeds will be greater. This is the final evaluation given by Yang Zhen to this person after reading this person's performance in the battle of central Henan.

Yang Zhen's evaluation of this person far exceeded that of all the generals who participated in the Chongqing counterattack. And the evaluation of the two armies under him is also quite high. With two pieces of equipment that can only be regarded as the strength of a second-rate army, the Japanese army dared to fight an offensive battle with a reinforced division.

Under the situation of heavy losses, not only was it not defeated, but it also dragged the entire operation of the Japanese army for seven days. The two armies were both offensive and defensive throughout the operation, and they cooperated quite tacitly. At critical moments, dare to fight close combat and night battles with the Japanese army. When needed, dare and bold intersperse.

Even if the various divisions penetrated too deep and were counter-surrounded by the surrounding Japanese troops, they did not fall into chaos. Units below the division level have a certain degree of independent combat capability, and even if they are scattered, they can quickly regroup. Although this cannot be said to be unique in the entire army of the Chongqing system, it is definitely rare to have this ability.

In particular, the two cavalry brigades under this unit performed quite remarkably in combat. The scope of its activities is so large, and its actions are so fast and agile that there will never be any relentlessness when it is time to make up its mind. Even if the cavalry unit of the Anti-Japanese Federation is replaced, it is impossible to do better.
