On the telegram, Yang Jicai, who knew that there was not much time left for him. The outspoken demand is to add at least one more battalion to the Kangbao battlefield at least for a short time. Otherwise, if the current battle situation continues, the existing strength of the troops participating in the battle on the Kangbao battlefield will not only be difficult to meet the needs of the superiors, but will also be in danger of being bitten by the enemy because of the lack of troops.

In particular, the troops on the northern front, under the situation of huge disparity in strength and firepower, may even be defeated by the Japanese army. The strength of Su Yingqi's reinforced battalion could not compete with the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army with superior firepower in any case.

After nearly 24 hours of fierce fighting, more than half of the troops participating in the battle had already suffered casualties. In the case of insufficient troops, in order to ensure the stability of the battle line, Su Yingqi had even put the last complete formed platoon monitoring the front line of Mandetang into frontal combat, and there was no longer a squad reserve in his hands.

If it had not been for this morning, the 107th Rocket Artillery Company would have been reinforced. Taking advantage of the density of rocket artillery's firepower, the Japanese army was able to defeat several group charges at the expense of shells, and I am afraid that the troops on the northern front, which had suffered more than half of the casualties, could no longer support it at this time, and the position was overwhelmed by the Japanese army.

Although it withstood another day of frantic counterattacks by the Japanese army, at the moment this rocket artillery company had consumed two-thirds of the shells it carried. The few shells left are no longer usable at the most critical moment. By noon tomorrow at the latest, if the northern front cannot get reinforcements, it will be really difficult to hold on.

And once the troops on the northern front were crushed and the commanding heights were recaptured by the Japanese army, the situation in Kangbao was in danger of completely collapsing. If the Kangbao battle collapses, although it will not affect the overall situation of the entire Western Front, it will be the most urgently needed time for the entire war situation.

Yang Jicai, who knew his character as the acting commander, didn't open his mouth widely, but just asked for a battalion of reinforcements. In fact, according to the current situation on the battlefield, on the surface, it has reached the point of danger. But for the anti-United Nations, there is no opportunity.

In order to regain the commanding heights of the northern front, Major General Kenyoshi Ikegami invested almost all the old capital on hand to the northern front. In other words, although the northern front is now in a dangerous situation, in other directions, because the Japanese defense force is not large, it leaves Yang Jicai with a rather rare opportunity.

The vital power at hand in Yang Jicai has been used to the extreme. If he were given reinforcements of one regiment, plus even two tank companies, he would dare to launch a counterattack on the southern and northeast fronts now, and completely defeat this independent mixed ninth brigade in one go.

But the reality now is that he no longer has any forces at hand to launch even a decent offensive on the southern front. And knowing that his acting commander is too steady, at least until the 26th Division is completely resolved, he will not invest too many troops in the Kangbao direction at one time.

He didn't have that luxury, he just hoped that he could add a battalion of troops to himself, so that his grinding tactics could be used to the greatest effect. Although it lost a rare fighter, it was much better than letting this independent mixed into the Ninth Brigade and be at ease here.

After receiving Yang Jicai's telegram, Wang Minggui, who immediately felt that the battle situation on the front line of Kangbao was already extremely tense, immediately rushed to the headquarters to find Liu Changshun and asked him to send two battalions to the Kangbao battlefield for reinforcements. Although Yang Jicai only asked for reinforcements from one battalion, Wang Minggui's consideration was not just a matter of grinding with the independent Ninth Brigade.

If this independent 9th Mixed Brigade can be completely defeated before the new order from the headquarters is issued, then a fairly good situation will be created for the next battle situation. But Wang Minggui's persuasion was still a one-off package, and it failed to change any situation.

Liu Changshun, who acted as the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, was still stubborn in solving the remnants of the 26th Division first, and defeating the 110th Division first, refusing to send any troops to reinforce the Kangbao front. Liu Changshun not only did not send reinforcements, but asked Yang Jicai to immediately change his tactics and give up the current idea of continuing the offensive.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the troops deployed on the northern front in the direction of Kangbao were immediately withdrawn. Join up with his main force, and first concentrate the vital forces to stick to this independent 9th mixed brigade. The rest of the matter will be talked about after the main force has withdrawn his hand. The order he gave him was to contain the Japanese puppet army in the direction of Kangbao, not to completely defeat them in one go.

After listening to Liu Changshun's determination, Wang Ming was so angry that he almost fell to the ground. This acting commander is really whimsical. Let Su Yingqi, who is short of troops, retreat under the siege on three sides and the continuous charge of the Japanese army, doesn't this let Su Yingqi find his own death?

Besides, Yang Jicai did not ask for many troops, as long as he increased the strength of one more battalion. Could it be that now in the entire battlefield on the Western Front, there is really not even a single battalion that can be drawn? At present, the strength of the entire Western Front, not counting the roundabout interspersed clusters commanded by Chen Hanzhang, is enough to have five divisions, one armored brigade, and several independent tank battalions on the front alone.

The additional division of the headquarters has now all arrived at the front line of the white flag. The troops in his hands Liu Changshun are now quite sufficient. The reserves you have now have are two regiments of troops. Not to mention a battalion, even if the 26th Division is completely eliminated in accordance with your plan, it is not too much of a problem to transfer another regiment.

Let's not talk about the battle situation in Kangbao, reinforcements are urgently needed at the moment. It is that Commander Chen's side has already seized Fengzhen, and Yi Liangpin in the north is fighting fiercely with the 69th Division, and now Commander Chen's side is also in urgent need of reinforcements. You are always so focused on the present, do you really have to wait until you leave the Suinan battlefield and Chen Hanzhang, who broke in alone, was eaten by the Japanese army before you were willing to make this decision?

At present, the Jining cluster commanded by Yi Liangpin, they are facing not only the Japanese troops stationed locally, but also the entire 69th Division. Even with the support of tanks, the lack of troops has become the biggest shortcoming of the Jining battlefield. In order to trap the 69th Division from retreating south to Fengzhen, or eastward into the battlefields of Chaxi and Suidong, Yi Liangpin could only stick to the Japanese army in Jining as much as possible.

However, the 69th Division, although under Yi Liangpin's sudden attack, suffered heavy losses. But after all, it is a reorganized division, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the cow. Yi Liangpin's department has no mobile ability, but the number of infantry in his hands is insufficient, so he can only fight with the Japanese army.

Once this 69th Division breaks through the blockade of Yi Liangpin, whether it joins the Suidong battlefield to the east, or retreats south and recaptures Fengzhen, it will have an irreparable impact on the entire Suinan war situation. In particular, once the all-out breakthrough from Jining to the south will bring a fatal threat to the battle situation in northern Jin.

Even if the 69th Division did not go south, but broke through Yi Liangpin's interception to the east, it made an all-out assault to the east. Once it joins the Suidong battlefield, it will also bring to the current battle situation. At that time, the entire battle situation in Suidong and Chaxi will become more complex and changeable.

Commander Chen was fighting in the heart of the enemy, surrounded by Japanese troops. It was not only Suinan and Chaxi that they faced, but also the Japanese army in northern Shanxi, and even the Japanese army in Shanxi as a whole. They had insufficient troops there, and once the surrounding enemy forces besieged them from all sides, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Especially now, under the cooperation and guidance of the local armed forces of the Jinsui Military Region, Mu Changqiu did not choose to enter the pass from the far route of the Tiger Killing Pass. Nor did they choose the victory pass due north of Datong as a breakthrough into the Datong Basin. Instead, he chose the Great Wall on the side of the Fort and the Great Wall on the side of the Fort that was closer to Datong and southwest of Fengzhen as the focus of the assault.

Compared with the line of the Tiger's Mouth that traveled through the mountains, the terrain around the Fort was flat, which was more conducive to the assault of Mu Changqiu's armored cavalry group. Choosing this direction as the main breakthrough direction, Mu Changqiu's vision can be described as quite accurate. Although the support available here is not as good as the direction of the tiger's mouth, which is equivalent to the inside battle, it is closer to Datong.

Mu Changqiu took advantage of the attention of the Japanese army, and he was hit by the opportunity to the front line of Jining and Fengzhen. From the northwest flank of the relatively weak Japanese army in Datong, avoid the Japanese defenders in Liangcheng, and directly tear apart the weak defenses of the Japanese army in the Refusal Fort and the Fort of the Refusal Gate. His tank and cavalry clusters rushed directly through the Japanese line.

The soldiers bypassed the north and south flanks of Wuzhou Mountain in two ways without making any stops. With tanks as the forerunner, with the cooperation of the four regiments left behind in the Jinsui Military Region and some local armed forces. The southern front had forcibly penetrated to White Horse City, which was on the outskirts of Datong, and was engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese defenders of Datong.

The troops of the northern front, with the cooperation of a regiment of the Jinsui Military Region, directly rushed through the Japanese defense line in Gushan. Directly into the north city wall of Datong. Under the cover of the tank's direct-aim artillery, the tactic of continuous blasting has been adopted, and the northern city wall of Datong has been blown down. The strength of one of its regiments, with the cooperation of the local armed forces of the Jinsui Military Region, has already rushed into the urban area of Datong.

Although Mu Changqiu's breakthrough speed was quite fast, the Japanese army's reaction speed was not slow. At almost the same time that Mu Changqiu's troops on the northern front rushed into Datong City, the Japanese troops in Tianzhen, Gaoyang, Kouquan, Yingxian, Laoxian, and Shuozhou around Datong sent out to reinforce the periphery of Datong.

The local armed forces of the Jinsui Military Region around the entire Datong battlefield concentrated a considerable part of their forces to block the attack. However, due to the lack of equipment and training, it could only delay the reinforcement of the Japanese army as much as possible. The main force of the Jinsui Military Region has gone north, and the elite of the troops left behind have also gone north to cooperate with Mu Changqiu's intersperse.

The troops who remained in the base areas in the northwest of Shanxi Province were all armed forces in some localities, and they were too different from the Japanese army in terms of equipment and training. Although these troops tried their best to block the attack, their strength was limited, and it was difficult to buy too much time for Mu Changqiu to seize Datong. The three regiments reinforced by the Beiyue District were still advancing to the front line of the Sanggan River at this time. The troops of the Taiyue Military Region and the Taihang Military Region are farther away from the north of Jin, and the enemy situation in the middle is also more complicated.

Judging by the entire battle situation on the Western Front, Wang Minggui believed that the Suinan battlefield had reached the time to decide life and death at this time. If we can add some reinforcements to the Suinan battlefield within a period of time, at least ensure that Jinbei and Suinan will not be surrounded by the Japanese troops surging up from the surrounding area before the other reinforcements mobilized by the headquarters arrive.

At present, the headquarters is also coordinating all parties to reinforce the battlefield in northern Shanxi. As long as these reinforcements can arrive, the battle situation in northern Jin will replace the current Suidong and Chanan battlefields and become the core point of the entire western front. Then the entire Suinan and Northern Jin battlefields will attract the main attention of the Japanese army. The battlefields of Suidong and Chaxi can be fought step by step.

At that time, by taking advantage of the terrain of northern Jinbei and the support of the troops in the Guannai, it is completely possible to use northern Jinbei as the main battlefield. And to ensure that the results that have been obtained before can get the greatest stability. On the whole, the terrain of Suinan and the surrounding enemy situation are much more favorable than the current battlefields in Suidong and Chaxi.
