At this time, everyone is afraid that everyone is half a catty to eight taels, and no one's situation is any better. More than half of their own casualties were lost, but the situation of the Japanese army could only be worse than their own. Now on the front line of Xinguangwu, it depends on who can hold on to the last five minutes. At this time, in the roundabout Yanmen Pass, not only will there be no oil and water to fish, but it will also weaken its own front-line troops.

Chen Hanzhang's judgment of the actual situation of the Japanese army on the front line of Yanmen Pass can be described as quite confident. He believes that in this battle, although the Anti-Japanese Union only invested one infantry regiment, it did have an absolute advantage in infantry firepower. A single rocket or recoilless shell can knock out a Japanese heavy machine-gun position.

If it weren't for the fact that the terrain was too complicated, the Japanese positions were staggered. In the setting of firing points, grenadiers, 92 infantry guns, rapid-fire guns, and the cover of machine gun positions were significantly strengthened. With infantry artillery and grenadiers, suppress their own recoilless guns and rocket launchers.

However, the 82 and 60 forced forces invested by their own troops were somewhat insufficient in number because they were dispatched to the south to reinforce the Taihang area, and they could not suppress the Japanese army's 92 infantry guns and grenadiers. Again, they were in a situation of feint attack, and the troops were never able to gain an advantage. With the superiority of his own troops in individual firepower, he would have taken Xinguangwu a long time ago.

During this battle, the Japanese army obviously accepted the lessons of the front-line battles in Huade and Shangdu. In the face of the superiority of the Anti-Union in individual firepower and direct firepower, certain adjustments were made to the machine gun positions. Push the position of the 92nd infantry artillery forward to the first-line position. In conjunction with heavy machine guns and grenadiers, this artillery versatility was used to specifically suppress anti-Union bazookas and recoilless guns.

Even the 92 infantry guns were used to suppress the large-caliber machine guns of the Anti-United Nations. In the course of operations, there are also 13-millimeter anti-aircraft machine guns that have learned how to use them to participate in front-line operations, and are specially used to suppress large-caliber machine guns in depth to resist the United Nations. On the battlefield of Xinguangwu, the Anti-Japanese Federation suffered a few big losses.

As soon as an anti-aircraft machine gun company was deployed, it was condescendingly destroyed by four 92 infantry guns deployed by the Japanese army on the city wall of Xinguangwu. If it weren't for Xiong Botao, who was in command on the front line, who reacted quickly and directly pulled up the double 23 anti-aircraft guns to suppress the four 92 infantry guns, I am afraid that the attack losses of the Anti-Japanese Union would have been even greater.

The Japanese army adopted a large number of very effective countermeasures against the infantry tactics of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, coupled with the complex terrain of the new Guangwu frontline, which was an important reason why the Anti-Japanese Union was so difficult to fight this offensive battle. The speed of the Japanese army's response and the effectiveness of the countermeasures introduced were somewhat unexpected by Chen Hanzhang.

However, Chen Hanzhang still believed that although the Japanese army's response tactics had made him suffer a lot of losses, he could use his own equipment superiority, and he would definitely not make the life of the Japanese army in front of him much better. On the battlefield of Xinguangwu, their casualties could only be greater than the number of troops they had invested.

Under such circumstances, instead of forcibly seizing Yanmen Pass, it is better to take Xinguangwu as the central point and use its own firepower advantage to completely deplete the Japanese army's strength at Yanmen Pass. He no longer has the strength to fight on both sides, and since he has paid such a big price, he can only persist no matter what changes occur in the form.

Therefore, Chen Hanzhang did not send a roundabout army to pass Yanmen Pass from the old Guangwu that had already been taken, along the western front. Instead, from the suppressive firepower, two 150 howitzers were dispatched to join the fire blockade between Xinguangwu and Yanmen Pass. At the same time, Xiong Botao adjusted the firepower and troop allocation of the front-line troops, and prepared to launch a final general attack on Xinguangwu.

While deploying Xinguangwu to prepare for the final attack, Chen Hanzhang mobilized all the rocket artillery troops participating in the battle on the front line of Xinguangwu, except for one company, and the rest were quickly deployed to the east of Zhangzhuang. Ordered all troops on the front line from Zhangzhuang to Mayi to take multiple routes to intersperse and compress the Japanese troops on the line from Zhangzhuang to Mayi to the area with Zhangzhuang as the core.

In order to strengthen the operation in the north and ensure the sufficient strength of the troops participating in the battle in the north, Chen Hanzhang even transferred all the tanks on the Guangwu battlefield to the front of Zhangzhuang. At the same time, on the front of the Guangwu battlefield, Chen Hanzhang transferred two companies from the guard battalion of the headquarters and also transferred them to the battle for the new Guangwu.

Seeing that Chen Hanzhang had transferred all the guard battalions of his headquarters, the boss frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything. If you say that before coming to the battlefield in northern Jinbei, you can understand the United Nations forces, the boss is still just staying at the reports of Yang Zhen and other high-level officials, as well as documentaries shot from some anti-United Nations forces.

After coming to northern Shanxi, after coming into contact with the cadres and troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation these days, the boss felt that compared with the troops in the Guannai, this lonely army in the northeast had a different temperament. These generals from the Anti-Japanese Federation, regardless of their age and position, have a kind of hard work that is indescribable and unclear, but they can really feel it.

The more critical the moment, the more energetic Saburo is that desperate. And no matter how many enemies they faced, there would be no weakening of that momentum again. And the more critical the moment, the more ferocious the fight. If you bite you, you will never let go, even if you are bruised all over your body, but even if you die, you will bite off a piece of your flesh.

After the contact in the past few days, these anti-United Nations cadres feel like a pack of wolves to the boss. Yes, it's like a pack of wolves who are willing to sacrifice their lives to survive in the harshest environments. Once you aim at the target, you will never give up if you are not torn apart.

Not only the cadres from the old Anti-Japanese Federation are like this, but even those cadres who have been transferred from Guannai, no matter how cautious their personalities were before, on the battlefield, but in less than a year after arriving at the Anti-Japanese Federation, their style is almost completely different from before. In terms of conducting style, it has become unusually bold and spicy. The wolf nature on his body became extremely clear.

The generals of the Anti-Japanese Federation are generally bold, and they are also determined on the battlefield and dare to make up their minds. On the battlefield, you never know what fear is. Under the order of the superiors, even the sword mountain and the sea of fire in front of him never frowned. Battlefield discipline is even stricter than during the Red Army.

Not only the cadres who came out of the old Anti-Japanese Federation, but also those cadres who were later transferred to work in the northeast, have also undergone great changes compared with the previous time when they were in the old base areas. Even the boss couldn't believe that these people were the old subordinates he was once familiar with.

If Chen Hanzhang and Mu Changqiu, these cadres from the old Anti-Japanese Federation, the boss is still very unfamiliar. So many cadres like Xiong Botao who are currently fighting in the northern Shanxi battlefield and were transferred to work in the northeast are quite familiar with the boss. Even during the Long March, they were already old acquaintances.

For these cadres, the boss is not ignorant. There are even some people who are still picked up by the boss, and some have worked beside the boss. I always know a lot about the personality and character of these people. But the boss didn't expect that in just one year, such a big change had taken place in the bodies of these old subordinates, which made the boss even a little strange.

Looking at Chen Hanzhang's young face, the boss suddenly remembered that Yang Zhen, who was far away in the northeast at this time, was also the first wolf in this group of wolves. How did that young man do this? What kind of hardships can make them like this?

As for Chen Hanzhang not completely following his own construction, the boss laughed it off. Chen Hanzhang was the highest military commander in the northern Jin battlefield, and he had his own ideas about the development and changes of the war situation. How to fight, he still knows in his heart. His words were just to mediate his anxiety about the poor progress of the battle.

As long as he can calm down quickly, it doesn't matter if he listens to his words or not. He is quite generous, and unless it is too necessary, most of the time, the boss who believes in the judgment ability of front-line commanders is not the kind of person who does more and more at every turn.

The boss was caught in thinking, but Chen Hanzhang didn't have much energy to discuss Yang Zhen's personality with the boss. On the one hand, he intensively mobilized his troops and carried out squeezing tactics against the main forces of the 21st Division on the Mayi and Zhangzhuang lines in the north, and at the same time, he also had to conduct a comprehensive analysis and judgment of the entire battlefield.

At this time, all the troops of the 10th Division had been airlifted in place, but Chen Hanzhang did not transfer the 10th Division to the battlefield of Xinguangwu. He gave the commander of the 10th Division a day and a half to reorganize his troops, and after a day and a half, no matter how well his troops merged, he would be pulled into the battlefield.

Yi Liangpin, Chen Hanzhang is a sentence, at any cost, to entangle the enemy in front of him and cut off the route of the Japanese army in front of him to attack Shanyin County. It is guaranteed that the training of the 10 th Division will never be interfered with. If the shape allows, push the line as far south as possible.

In the battle situation in the northeast of Jin, Chen Hanzhang did not interfere too much. He still believes in Du Kaishan's ability. This guy is much more stable now, and it is estimated that he is unlikely to do anything impulsive on the battlefield at the moment. With Du Kaishan here, he should be able to rest assured about the battlefield in the northeast of Jin.

Therefore, although Chen Hanzhang has been paying attention to the situation in the northeast of Jin, he rarely gives any substantive orders except for the cooperation of the two sides. What he gave Du Kaishan was just a plan and his own ideas, as for how to implement this plan, Chen Hanzhang still has a lot of confidence in his old comrade-in-arms. He believes that as long as he is fully authorized, Du Kaishan will definitely create a surprise for himself in the northeast of Shanxi.

After a slight hesitation, Chen Hanzhang handed over all the battles on the front line of Xinguangwu to Xiong Botao, who was commanding on the front line. And he turned his attention to Zhangzhuang and Mayi in the north. After all, that is the main battlefield of this battle, and here in Xinguangwu, for the entire battlefield, it is just a point.

The reason why Chen Hanzhang personally took charge of the counterattack against the old and new Guangwu was because it was only a point here. But it was a key to his plan. Whether or not they can achieve their ultimate goal in this battle still depends on whether the troops can intensify their counterattacks on the old and new Guangwu and whether they can slow down the northward movement of the main force of the 21st Division.

The most important thing is whether his attack on the old and new Guangwu can widen the distance between the various divisions of the Japanese army, annihilate one part of the army, and create a favorable fighter plane. This is the main reason why he handed over the battle in the north to Wang Minggui under the command of Wang Minggui, and he personally sat in the front line of Guangwu.

Now the strength of the Japanese army from Yanmen Pass to Guangwu has consumed the embers, and it can no longer set off too much wind. And the main forces of the 21st Division in Zhangzhuang and Ma Yi, the pressure on the flanks and the concerns behind them, there are also signs of retreat along the whole line. At this time, Chen Hanzhang felt that it was time to focus on the northern front.

As for the three German-made anti-aircraft guns that were captured, Chen Hanzhang transported them back to Datong as soon as possible and transported them back to the northeast by transport plane. At the same time, the conclusion of the boss will be reported to the headquarters at the first time. Remind other battlefields to be aware of the threat posed by the new anti-tank guns of the Japanese army.
