At the same time as the deployment began, Chen Hanzhang sent power to Du Kaishan, who was commanding a half-division to go south under the stars and night, and had now crossed the Pingsui Railway. Let him not make any stops at Tianzhen and Yanggao after arriving in Tianzhen, and immediately go south to Yangyuan and form a threat to Weixian and Laiyuan. And cut off the highway from Weixian to Guangling, putting on a posture of going straight into the northwest of Hebei.

However, going straight to the northwest of Hebei can only be a situation, and the focus of its troops should still be placed in the northeast of Shanxi. From the flank and rear, threaten the deployment of the Japanese army in the inverted triangle in the northeast of Jin, cutting off its supply lines and communication with the rear. In order to cooperate with the frontal troops, the diversion attack of the Japanese army in the northeast of Jin.

In the telegram, Chen Hanzhang sent all the current situation of the entire battlefield in the northeast of Jin Province to Du Kaishan. and informed Du Kaishan and asked him to consider the war in the northeast of Jin. After he arrived at the Yangyuan frontline, he had already reported to the headquarters, and the entire battlefield in the northeast of Jin would be under his overall command.

But considering that this guy didn't care about it, and he was somewhat of a two-pole character and energetic, Chen Hanzhang also told Du Kaishan that he must be steady when adjusting his deployment, and don't startle the snake too early. All deployment adjustments should be made according to their overall intentions.

After the telegram to Du Kaishan was sent, Chen Hanzhang sent a telegram to Mu Changqiu, who had already arrived in Ningwu, asking him not to put all the stops on the line of Ninghuabao, but to expand the scope of his vigilance as far as possible in the direction of Dongxinkou, and to carry out strict surveillance on the highway from Datong to Taiyuan, from Pingdiquan to Ningwu, and from Xinxian to Jingle. Don't let go of any disturbance on these roads.

Since arriving in northern Shanxi, the cavalry brigade that had been transferred from the Advance Army, which had been resting and retraining, was transferred by him to the front line of Tianzhen, Nanhebao, and Majiasoo, and guarded the Japanese puppet army on the front line of Zhangjiakou. At the same time, from the left flank, the army advanced to attack the Zhangjiakou line, and cut off the remaining strongholds of the Japanese puppet army at the junction of southern and northern Shanxi......

In the entire deployment, Chen Hanzhang made a rather bold deployment according to the current situation of the troops and equipment at hand. The method of attacking on both sides and singing an empty city plan in the middle attracted the attention of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army to the middle road. And north of the Inner Great Wall, he gave up the natural danger of Yanmen Pass and Yang Wankou, and deployed a firepower feast for the 21st Division on both sides of the Sanggan River.

Looking at his overall deployment, the boss was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say anything. The boss was not surprised by Chen Hanzhang's deployment. In terms of the whole intention, all of Chen Hanzhang's actions are one word "fast".

And what is facing now is a reorganized division of the Japanese army, not a division of the puppet army. No matter how fast your hands and feet are, I'm afraid it is unlikely that you will be able to deal with a division of the Japanese army in a short time. However, considering the battle in Jining, the boss finally adopted a tacit attitude towards Chen Hanzhang's entire strategic intentions.

He believes that Chen Hanzhang did this, not only because of his reasons, but also because of his certainty. Since this kind of head-on confrontation with a large corps is a strong point, it is their strength to resist the United Nations, so it is better to follow his plan. This battle is a life-and-death battle on the Shanxi battlefield, and it is more appropriate for them to be experts. Since the boss has no opinion, it means that this battle plan has actually been understood.

However, after the adjustment and deployment was completed, Chen Hanzhang reported the entire battle plan, as well as his previous judgment and analysis of the battle situation in the northwest of Shanxi to the headquarters. Although Yang Zhen had already given him the right to make a decision on the spot, he didn't have to ask for instructions on everything. However, after all, the northwest of Shanxi Province is too close to northern Shaanxi, and this battle is related to the security of northern Shaanxi, and it is a matter of great importance when it comes to deployment adjustments, and at least the headquarters must be allowed to control its own adjustments.

After receiving Chen Hanzhang's report, Yang Zhen suspended the conversation with Li Mingbo, who had just finished the harvest operation, and rushed from Jilin to the headquarters. After walking to the front of the map and thinking about it carefully for a long time, and after repeated deliberation with Guo Bingxun, he finally agreed that Chen Hanzhang would take a risk on the battlefield in Shanxi.

However, Yang Zhen also told Chen Hanzhang on the telegram that no matter what the boss's decision is, he must have a certain contingency method and mobile forces in his hands. Regarding Chen Hanzhang's battle plan, Yang Zhen did not point too fingers. Just told Chen Hanzhang to pay more attention to the direction of Zhangjiakou on the right flank while disrupting the inverted triangle posture of the Japanese army in the northeast of Jin.

The goal of the 48th Division of the Japanese Army was not necessarily to advance into the army. If he reinforces Zhangjiakou at the same time, he will transfer part of his troops, from Zhuolu, Huai'an, and the right flank of Zhi**, it will disrupt his deployment in the entire northern Jin battlefield. The Japanese army has always been good at using flank detours on the battlefield, and now he has deployed only one cavalry brigade on the entire right flank, which is somewhat insufficient.

Even if Du Kaishan's department came according to his plan, there was a big gap left in the middle. Du Kaishan bluffed in the northeast of Jin, and the Japanese army would not necessarily be fooled. As long as Du Kaishan starts on the front line of Weixian and Guangling, their bluff on the Jinchabian side will definitely be seen through by the Japanese army.

Once the entire northeastern Jin Dynasty and the front of Tongpu Road were in fierce fighting, the 48th Division broke through his flank with a force. Most likely, it will go straight to Datong and cut off his supply lines. This will have a fundamental impact on the entire northern Jin war situation. Especially in the battlefield of northeastern Jin, his strength was only roughly equal to that of the Japanese army, but he was in a situation of attacking instead of defending.

As for the rest, Yang Zhen didn't say much. Chen Hanzhang is a front-line commander, and since he has decided to give him the right to make decisions on the spot, there is no need to report everything to the request. So too much interference, it's not very good. Chen Hanzhang must have his reasons and ideas for such a deployment.

The most important thing is that Yang Zhen believes that Chen Hanzhang's deployment is still more suitable for the situation he is currently in, as well as the overall situation of the northern Shanxi battlefield. This battle plan, although somewhat risky. But as long as Chen Hanzhang can grasp the changes in the battle situation, there should basically be no big problem.

After sending a telegram to Chen Hanzhang, Yang Zhen looked at the map on the wall and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said to Guo Bingxun beside him: "Now judging from the entire deployment of the Japanese army that has been exposed, at present, Okamura Ningji is still in the north of Jin on the battlefield in North China. ”

"They have made such great efforts just to attract the attention of our army, especially our army in northern Jin. His real intention was to disrupt Chen Hanzhang's original deployment and plan in northern Shanxi, to create a comprehensive counterattack against northern Jin, to create a Zào fighter and to buy time. Now, judging from the movement of the Japanese army and the overall situation, Chen Hanzhang's judgment should still be accurate. ”

"It's just that at the moment, the 48th Division, although it has been advanced to the first part of the army, is blocked on the front line of Xuanhua, Xiahuayuan, and Jiming Mountain. It is impossible to quickly reinforce Zhangjiakou in a short period of time. However, if it is necessary to use a force to penetrate directly into the front line of the Huaxiao Battalion and the Western Joint Battalion west of Zhangjiakou, there is no big problem. ”

Chen Hanzhang's deployment was carefully considered and repeatedly negotiated with the CEO. Although it is somewhat risky to take the initiative to expose the gap and lure the enemy into the trap he has set up. However, as long as the main force of the Japanese army can be attracted to the north of Shanxi, the battle of the Jinsui Military Region to encircle and annihilate the Zuojian detachment, and the threat of the Japanese army to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region can be removed, this risk may not be worth taking. ”

"But now the key is his right flank, and only one cavalry brigade is placed, which is somewhat too thin. And Du Kaishan's troops were also stretched too far away by him. Once the right flank is broken through, and his troops in the northeast of Jin are attracted by the Japanese troops in Guangling, Hunyuan, and Lingqiu, and they cannot return to the division to plug the gap, then it is easy to delay the big thing. ”

"He concentrated a fist in the central Jinzhong region, but in the northeast of Jindong, he just stretched out his slap and hit people. The operational intentions and deployments in the northeastern part of Shanxi Province are somewhat scattered. He is ready to hand over the battle situation in the northeast of Jin to Du Kaishan, but I don't have any opinion. ”

"The battle situation in the northeast of Jin is led by Du Kaishan, and I don't have any opinions. Although he Du Kaishan is sometimes more impulsive, his ability to grasp the battle situation and fighters is still certain. It's just that his right flank, after Du Kaishan arrived at the designated position, I still feel that the remaining troops are a little thinner......"

"His original intention of concentrating firepower and limited mobile forces to solve the problem of the 21st Division in the shortest possible time was to use the brakes to solve the problem of the 21st Division. But at the moment, his deployment of troops is undoubtedly a bit too top-heavy. The whole back of the ass leaked out. On his right flank, at least one or two more regiments should be added, deployed on the line of Dongjingji and Nanxubao. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's worries, Guo Bingxun thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "No. 1, Chen Hanzhang has come up with this deployment, I'm afraid it is still a little difficult to sustain in terms of troops." In fact, what worries him most now is not his right wing, under the increasing pressure of the advance army on Zhangjiakou, Okamura Ningji must not want to completely abandon Zhangjiakou, an important town. ”

Otherwise, he would not necessarily be in the current situation, and draw troops from within the 48th Division to detour to the right flank of the northern Jin battlefield. No. 1, I am more worried about the next move of the 32nd Division in Taiyuan City. The most critical thing is whether the Japanese army has a follow-up force. ”

"No. 1, whether it is us or Chen Hanzhang, has ignored the other two units of the Japanese army, that is, the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, which has been reorganized. There is also the Nakajima detachment, which has not been seen at any location since the Japanese army was transferred. ”

"From now on, this 15th Division is carrying out a sweep of the Taihang Military Region, and in the process of sweeping, it is still undertaking the main task. However, judging from the current situation, it is in a position that can be transferred at any time in the entire sweep of the Japanese army to the southeast of Jinjin. ”

"The starting point of its sweep is Handan, passing through Wu'an, Shexian, and directly into Liaoxian. However, we must pay close attention to its actions after arriving in Liao County. Because it can go south or north, and sweep our Taihang District. But it can also pass through Yushe and Taigu to the northwest. ”

"Or through Heshun, Xiyang, Pingding, straight into the northeast of Jin. Or simply go north through Yushe and Taigu, and advance rapidly northward along the Tongpu Railway. If the need arises, this 15th Division can most likely become a surprise soldier of the Japanese army, and become the last straw that crushes us. If the Japanese army did not mean this, then why did the 15th Division stop in Liao County, but did not go south or north? ”

"What is the real intention of its current unfolding around Liao County? Is it just to cut off the traffic between the north and the south of my Taihang? Liao County is still a long way from Licheng, where the head of our Taihang District is located. If his so-called goal was the Taihang base area, he should not have gone north from Shexian at all, but should have directly advanced to the line of Licheng. ”

"Or deploy the main force of the division between Shexian, Liaoxian, and Licheng, and cooperate with the main force of the puppet Second Front Army and the two puppet army divisions advancing from the front, and encircle our Taihang District on all sides. In that case, the threat to our Taihang base area will be even greater and more deadly. ”
