The central decision conveyed by the boss gave Yang Zhen a headache. He didn't care if he gave up Guyang, but even the Maoming'an United Banner where Baiyun Obo was located was handed over to the back set, which was really difficult for him to accept. The whole of Suibei is a very important part of his entire plan. In this way, all the plans he had originally formulated for the two major industrial zones of North Manchuria and Suixi to go hand in hand could only be abandoned.

But the Central Committee has already decided, and it is difficult for him to raise objections. Live hell, who and the central proposed this building yì. Guyang was taken the lead by the back cover, which did not affect the overall situation. As long as the Maomingan United Flag is in his hands, even if Guyang does not take it down, at most it will be a nail in the whole system. At least for a short period of time, it will not affect the whole picture.

As for the more than 2,000 pseudo-Mongolian troops in Bailing Temple, Yang Zhen didn't look at it at all. A regiment was sent out, and it was solved in a short time. I was also careless, if Chen Hanzhang took a detour to the northern foot of Yin Mountain, he would take the sheep back to take back the Bailing Temple, and there would be no trouble.

If he only considered the logistics and supply of the roundabout troops before Chen Hanzhang made a roundabout. However, without taking into account the vast area of Suibei, the calculation of troops would not be so tight, so that Chen Hanzhang would have some more surplus in the distribution of troops, and there would not be so much trouble.

He knew that the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations had an extremely strong ability to capture fighters. The situation of the Japanese puppet army's defense, he is afraid that he has long known it. It is unclear why action has not been carried out for a long time. However, the mobility and combat effectiveness of its units are absolutely first-class in the entire national army. is so careless, and the troops are deducted too finely. He also ignored Chen Hanzhang's construction of the puppet Mongolian army on the front line of Bailing Temple.

I didn't expect that the puppet Mongolian army on the front line of Bailing Temple would fight with the back set for so many years. Unexpectedly, when the master behind him was defeated and the back road was cut off, he surrendered the back set as soon as possible. Without the strategic control point of Bailing Temple, even if Maoming'an United Flag Control is in his own hands, there will be a lot of trouble.

Bailing Temple is not the Guyang where the Japanese-occupied area and the Houtao control area are handed over, and once it is taken by the Houtao side first, it is not as simple as putting a nail in its own forward position. Bailing Temple, located dozens of kilometers east of Maoming Anqi, is almost equivalent to inserting a knife in the heart of his own hinterland.

Hit, although he was not afraid of the commander of the back set. But it will destroy the current relatively calm and stable situation between the latter and northern Shaanxi, and even cause a chain reaction in Yulin, north of northern Shaanxi. At that time, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, which was already semi-surrounded by the Eighth War Zone, would really be attacked on all sides.

But if you don't fight, if you have the nail of Bailing Temple in your stomach, then you won't be able to stabilize for a day. All industrial entrepreneurship plans cannot be carried out. You can't work hard to create a foundation, and in the end, you can send it to others without collecting a penny.

What the boss said is not wrong, after the puppet Mongolian army on the front line of Bailing Temple surrendered to the rear set, the opportunity to seize the entire Suibei has been lost. Unless he openly turns his face with the back set, it is impossible for him to regain Suibei. Although he is not afraid of the famous general, there is really no way to publicly turn his face with the backset area at this time.

Moreover, not only can we not turn the other cheek with the back, but in any region, we must avoid conflicts with the Chongqing side as much as possible. So as not to give the United States and Britain any pretext in the international community. Especially those British who are always making trouble behind their backs and are still thinking about taking advantage of the Chinese.

Judging from the speed of its seizure of Guyang, that old man can seize Baotou in the Jinsui Military Region, and all the main forces of the Anti-Japanese Union in the Suiyuan battlefield are transferred south to the northern Jinbei battlefield. did not take advantage of the mobility of its subordinates to climb over Yinshan Mountain to seize Guisui. did not seize Tuo and Tuo and Qingshui River, and interfered in the Baotou war, which already shows that he still has some leeway to do things.

If he's plugging in, it's going to be a lot of fun. He is the chairman of Suiyuan Province, the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater, and the internationally recognized military and political chief of Suiyuan. Suiyuan is the territory of other people, if it really turns its face, the international and domestic shape is not good for the central government. At this time, it is indeed not an appropriate time to turn his face with Suibei and him.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhen raised his head and said, "Boss, you are right. Since the Guyang line has fallen into the hands of the back set, it is indeed impossible for us to insist on building a steel industrial base in Baotou. And if we can't openly turn against it, if we don't recapture the line of Bailing Temple, even if the Maomingan United Flag is in our hands, it will be difficult to be stable. ”

"A large number of well-trained main forces were pinned down in Suibei, which would have a great impact on the battlefield in Guannei. Moreover, on the front line of Tuo and Tuo and the Qingshui River, our army could not maintain a large number of long-term garrisons. Once someone with a heart intervenes, the main force of our army hanging alone in Baotou of the Jinsui Military Region will still be quite dangerous. ”

"The deputy commander of the Eighth Theater is still a kind person, and this time our army fought in Suiyuan, and he did not intervene. But I heard that his deputy, the commander of the garrison of the Ikezhao League, was not very honest. The Yikezhao League borders the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, and the Iraqi League garrison has a cavalry division. If they cross the Yellow River and seize the front line of the Tuohetuo and Qingshui rivers, the straight-line connection between our army in Baotou and the northwest of Shanxi will be completely cut off. ”

"The cavalry's mobile assault ability in the rear sleeve is still very strong. Only by mobilizing heavy troops can we dispel the idea of reaching into Suibei. You're right, under the current form, unless we take the entire Yikezhao League, it is indeed not safe to build an industrial base in Baotou. ”

"In this way, if the central government approves it, can we also hand over the Baotou area, and our army's defense line will be withdrawn to the line from Chasuqi to Tuo and Tuo. But don't hand it over to the back set, but to the commander of the Jinsui Shaanxi Border Region. But they want to hand over the Yulin area, especially the two counties of Shenmu and Fugu, to us. Their Jinsui Shaanxi Border Region Headquarters withdrew north to the Baotou area. ”

"Although Baotou will be handed over, as long as the Yulin area can be exchanged back, especially Shenmu and Fugu, the entire northern Shanxi will directly border the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area. This is very beneficial to the development of our army's strategic situation in the next step. Moreover, it is also quite guaranteed for the security of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region. ”

Yang Zhen's construction, the boss nodded slightly after taking a closer look: "This can be considered, but I am afraid it will be difficult." That commander of the Jinsui Shaanxi Border Region, although he has always had a good relationship with us. But he had to accept the order of the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater who was commanding hundreds of thousands of troops to defend the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region in our place. ”

Without the orders of his immediate superiors, he would not give up his defense zone lightly. As for the first protégé of the Son of Heaven in Chongqing, he would not give up Yulin, a strategic town that controls the northern gate of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region. Your idea is good, but the chances of it coming to fruition are not great. ”

"Another problem is that the headquarters of the indigenous local armed forces in northern Shaanxi, and the Yulin area is its foundation. Although the ministry has a good relationship with our army, it may be difficult to get it to give up its roots. In particular, Fugu and Shenmu are their main grain producing areas, and it is not easy to let them retreat north to Baotou, which is a bitter cold land in their eyes. ”

Since the early years of the Republic of China, the ministry has occupied Yulin City and several counties in northern Shaanxi, and it has been nearly 30 years. Although it has been two army commanders, the department has hardly left Yulin. The vast majority of the officers and soldiers in his department are also natives of Yulin and northern Shaanxi. Let them get out of Yulin, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the officers and men of the department to do their work. ”

In this way, the central government did its best to do its work. But whether this work can be done or not, I have no way of knowing for sure at present. If we can do a good job and exchange Baotou for Yulin so that the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region can directly connect with northern Shanxi and completely connect with northwest Shanxi, this will be the best result. ”

For Yang Zhen's construction, the boss thinks the idea is good. But looking at the overall shape, the boss thinks that the result will not be very optimistic. As for Yang Zhen, he proposed this proposal, but whether it is implemented or not depends on the decision of the central government. Suixi's affairs, since it has come to this point, he will not interfere in any more.

As for the issue of cooperation with the Anti-Japanese Federation in the major strategic zones on the battlefield in Shanxi, Yang Zhen is not easy to say too much, but this issue is indeed very strict now. It's not that the troops in the pass are not brave, or that they avoid the trivial when they accept the mission. Rather, it is the guerrilla habit of fighting for many years that we will fight if we win and leave if we can't win, which is really a bit out of step with this kind of warfare.

In the early days of the Datong operation, a regiment of the Jinsui Military Region cooperated with the operation, and according to Mu Changqiu's plan, it was to seize Gaoshan Town and cut off the road from Datong to Zuoyun. However, this regiment, which cooperated with an artillery company of the Anti-Japanese Federation, fought for more than an hour, and because of the stubborn resistance of the Japanese puppet army, it felt that there was no advantage to take advantage of if it continued to fight so hard, and some of them withdrew without authorization.

As a result, Mu Changqiu had no choice but to draw part of his already tight forces to capture Gaoshan Town. If the line from Gaoshan Town to Yungang, which is the key point of the Datong-Zuoyun Highway, cannot be taken down, it will be a great hidden danger to the deployment of the follow-up arrival troops.

Moreover, although there are not many Japanese puppet troops here, it is still a little unsafe to keep such a Japanese puppet stronghold by your side. Under the circumstance that a regiment of the Jinsui Military Region that cooperated with the operation withdrew without greeting, Mu Changqiu could only do it himself.

However, he temporarily transferred three companies, which were not many troops, but weakened the already insufficient assault force. The troops that broke into Datong were almost beaten out by the Japanese counterattack because the follow-up forces were not all in place. If it weren't for a BT tank company that entered the city, at the cost of being completely destroyed, to restrain the Japanese army's all-out counterattack on the breakthrough, I am afraid that the Datong battlefield would not be what it is now.

After Chen Hanzhang went south, the problems of the two armies in coordinating operations increased day by day. When the cooperation of brother troops is urgently needed, it is often difficult to find brother troops that cooperate with him there, which is a headache for Chen Hanzhang. Before each battle, you have to send people everywhere to look for it. But the key is the unfamiliar Anti-Japanese Alliance, where to find these light and flexible brother troops?

Chen Hanzhang dispatched a number of radio stations to strengthen the units of the Jinsui Military Region that cooperated, but found that the radio stations of these troops were turned off for much longer than the time they were turned on. As soon as the radio was turned off, no orders could be conveyed. Even if they are stationed in that fixed location, they do not pay attention to the installation of telephone lines. Contacts in wartime, frequent human failures.

The biggest headache for him was that the battle had not yet started here, and these brother troops mobilized from top to bottom, and first destroyed the road into a mess. The entire battlefield of northern Jin and the road west of Pulu were almost destroyed by the brother troops who participated in the battle. Not only was the highway completely destroyed, but even all the power poles along the route were demolished.
