Ouyang Jishan thinks that as the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so how can they know that they can't do it if they don't let people try it. If you don't have combat experience, can you pick a soft persimmon first and let this unit practice your hands. Moreover, with the cooperation of the old troops of the two divisions, even if there are some problems in this division, it will not be able to set off too many storms.

Under the resolute opposition of Ouyang Jishan, Du Kaishan could only transfer this division to the north of Huade and replace the 21st Division. The strength of the 110th Division, which had been separated from the main force of the 110th Division by the 21st Division, was used to hone this force and serve as the general reserve of the frontal battlefield on the Western Front.

The 21st Division, which was replaced by the 31st Division, continued to detour westward to flank the entire Huade and Shangdu battlefields. At present, Du Kaishan did not replenish the troops to this unit, but he gave the 21st Division a very important task. It was along the left flank of the entire battlefield with the 110th Division, directly inserted into the front line of Shangdu, and completely separated the entire front of the 110th Division.

And seize the front line of Shangdu, encircle and annihilate the two brigades of the Japanese army left behind in Shangdu, a large rear material reserve base, and prepare for the next step of the headquarters to completely encircle and annihilate the battle. Although the 21st Division now has only five battalions left, Du Kaishan still believes that these five battalions have basically no problem dealing with the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army.

As for the 17th Division, after being transferred out of Su Yingqi's headquarters, plus the casualties in the previous battles. The remaining troops were reduced to two battalions with the remainder of the remaining two regiments, one of which Du Kaishan incorporated into the 31st Division. With the old with the new, the key is in the old word. If there is no old army to be incorporated, what is it called to bring the old with the new?

The remaining battalion of the 17th Division, along with some of the backbone retained from the pre-war adjustment, was transferred to the rear for reorganization. Not only did the 17th Division make some adjustments, but the rest of the divisions participating in the battle also made some adjustments. The number of units that have suffered heavy losses has been reduced, and the front-line combat units have been enriched.

After intense adjustments, Du Kaishan concentrated the strength of the two divisions and cooperated with the 21st Division, which was forcibly interspersed with the front line of Shangdu, to launch a general attack on the 110th Division under the cover of tanks, two squadrons of combat aircraft, and some heavy artillery with the tactics of killing chickens and knives.

After the 26th Division was finally resolved, he had lost the patience to continue to grind with the 110th Division, and the solution of the 110th Division would be equivalent to the complete completion of the combat mission in the Suidong and Chaxi battlefields. The troops that are freed up can be used in other directions. He felt that too much time had been wasted by involving the two divisions for such a long time.

As he himself said, his ideas were not limited to the two Japanese divisions of Chaxi and Suidong. As far as Du Kaishan, who has always advocated attacking, said that among the Japanese troops in the Chaxi and Suidong battlefields, the 26th Division had reached the final end, and he really couldn't arouse that interest. The three wings of the 110th Division also made him lack interest.

With only one 110th Division, he really couldn't feed his relatively large appetite. At this moment, his eyes are now on Jinbei, which is basically certain and will become the focus of this battle. Going to Chen Hanzhang's pot to grab meat to eat is his truest idea now.

Even the 17th Division could only withdraw from the battlefield and return to the rear for rectification because of its heavy losses. Wang Minggui reinforced the battlefields of northern Jin and southern Suinan, and took two more divisions with him. However, among the troops of the remaining three divisions, there is also a division that was newly formed after being transferred, and its combat effectiveness is very uneasy. But the current battle situation still made Du Kaishan's appetite great, and he put his eyes directly on the battlefields of northern Jin and southern Suinan.

In fact, after Du Kaishan and others took over the command, there was one thing that they never understood. Why, under such a favorable situation, with the strong strength of five divisions, one armored brigade, and three tank battalions, Liu Changshun's attack rhythm has always been slowly soaring.

Even if it was an independent mixed regiment of the 9th Brigade and a wing of the 110th Division, it never participated in the battle. It is necessary to ensure a certain number of reserves and mobile troops. However, the existing forces in his hands, without the reinforcements at the headquarters, can still calmly deal with the situation of the war.

Although the casualties of the previous divisions were not light, and the casualties of the 1st Armored Brigade and the 17th Division were particularly heavy, the casualties of the Japanese troops in front of them were even heavier. Even if the independent mixed into the Ninth Brigade is counted, the troops in his hands will not be able to draw even a division.

The 26th Division, which had little left, and the 110th Division, which was entangled in death, actually restrained him for so long and did nothing. Although the Japanese army had a fortified area to rely on, for Liu Changshun, his heavy artillery and tanks were not decorations.

Liu Changshun's approach is almost unimaginable for Du Kaishan, who has always been accustomed to advocating offensive. If he had been replaced, he would have jumped out a long time ago, directly killed the battlefields of southern Sui and northern Jin, and went to Chen Hanzhang to fish for meat to eat. It will be here, hesitate for so long.

At the same time that Du Kaishan was adjusting the allocation of troops on the frontal battlefield on the Western Front, the 26th Division had been completely destroyed, and the two divisions that were ready to reinforce Chen Hanzhang were being assembled. When the Kangbao front line received the order, Su Yingqi, who had already entered the county seat of Kangbao, was in no hurry to hand over the command.

Taking advantage of the time lag before the deputy commander of the 21st Division, who succeeded him, mobilized the troops that could be mobilized at hand, and adopted the tactics of launching simultaneous attacks from all directions with the company as a formation, and launched a general attack on the last remnants of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army in Kangbao City.

In order to ensure a smooth attack, Su Yingqi dismantled the artillery units equipped with him and reinforced each attacking company with a 76-mm cannon. He also dismantled the tanks sent by Wang Minggui and fired directly at the tanks to carry out precision strikes on the remaining firepower points on the periphery of Kangbao to cover the direct advance of the infantry.

At this time, the Japanese defenders in the city, who were already small, were under the simultaneous offensive launched in all directions, and the defense of the entire Kangbao City was broken through by the whole line before it could not be topped up for half an hour. Two hours later, the Japanese forces in the city had been divided.

The fierce fighting of the previous two nights and one day caused a reinforced battalion led by Su Yingqi to plummet into half a company, and the losses of the troops on the southern front directly controlled by Yang Jicai were not light. One of the reinforced regiments that participated in the battle, after the arrival of reinforcements, had only four companies left.

But the fierce fighting of these two days and one night also filled most of the strength of the independent mixed 9th Brigade. Coupled with the tremendous power of the dozen or so air-fuel bombs, when Su Yingqi launched a general attack, there was not much blood left in the entire Independent Mixed Ninth Brigade.

The battle for the hills in the north, which overlooked the entire fortified area of the Japanese army, greatly damaged the vitality of the independent mixed 9th Brigade. When Wang Minggui's reinforcements arrived, it was already unsupportable. Even though Su Yingqi only retreated five kilometers back, he was no longer able to pursue.

In addition, during the fierce battle of its troops for two days and one night, most of the defenders in the city were transferred to participate in the battle outside the city one after another as the battle situation developed, and the whole army was basically wiped out under the blow of air fuel bombs. By the time Su Yingqi took over Yang Jicai to command the battle of Kangbao, there were very few Japanese troops in the entire Kangbao City that could be defended.

Under Yang Jicai's careful calculation, although the entire Kangbao City did not suffer any big losses. But the walls on all sides, destroyed by the huge shock wave generated by the high-yield air-fuel bombs, have completely collapsed. The entire Kangbao City, when Su Yingqi launched an attack, was already naked in front of Su Yingqi.

The perennial guerrilla career behind enemy lines has made Su Yingqi develop the habit of either not fighting, or beating you to death if you want to beat me, and never giving you a chance to breathe. Let him suspend the attack at this time and hand over the command, not to mention a deputy division commander, even the full division commander, he will not stop at this time. What's more, when the war situation is still so favorable.

By the time his replacement arrived at the Kangbao battlefield, he had already completed the final assault on Kangbao City. After four hours of fierce fighting, a complete infantry squadron, two infantry squadrons, a baggage squadron, and a gendarmerie were annihilated by the Japanese army in the city.

Major General Kenyoshi Ikegami, commander of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, shot himself when the attacking troops had already reached his headquarters in the puppet county office. All the wounded either stabbed each other with bayonets or pulled grenades. The entire independent mixed 9th Brigade, more than 5,000 people in Kangbao, captured less than 100 prisoners.

This independent mixed 9th Brigade Regiment was even more tenacious on the battlefield than ordinary field divisions. But whether it was tenacious, as the last gunshot fell in the city of Kangbao. It means that this independent mixed brigade, which is known as the firefighting team in the entire North China Front Army, has been completely wiped out as the main force left on the Kangbao battlefield.

As the gunfire on the front line of Kangbao completely subsided, only the 110th Division, which had suffered heavy losses at this time, remained of the three Japanese troops in the entire Chaxi and Suidong battlefields. And the cessation of fighting on the Kangbao battlefield means that the Japanese army in the Suidong, Chaxi, and Chanan battlefields, as a whole front, no longer exists.

The Japanese army, which was in the entire theater of the Western Front, was divided into two parts. The Japanese army in Zhangbei, an important town in southern Chasan, was already exposed to the guns of the Anti-Japanese Union. If Du Kaishan wanted to go and fight the advance army for food, he could now draw out his troops and attack in the southwest direction, directly seizing Zhangbei.

Su Yingqi captured Kangbao County in four hours, pulling out the last nail on the right flank of the frontal battlefield on the entire Western Front, which naturally increased the vital force in Du Kaishan's hands. However, after the last gunshot on the Kangbao battlefield subsided, Du Kaishan's order to the troops participating in the Kangbao battlefield was to go on the defensive.

Not only did Kangbao's troops participate in the battle, except for the tank troops, and the regiment led by Su Yingqi was reduced into a battalion and transferred away with Su Yingqi, the rest of the troops were all transferred to defense on the spot. He also drew a regiment from the 31st Division, plus the reserve of the last regiment left in his hands, and placed it in the direction of Kangbao.

Although there was no delay after receiving the order, the deputy commander of the 21st Division, who had already done everything by the time he arrived at Kangbao, was under unified command. No rash action is to be made except to extend a part of the defense to the south until an order is received.

Du Kaishan's move was to ensure the safety of the flank of the main force of the advancing army, which was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in southern Chanan, and to cut off the Japanese army's attempt to reinforce the Suidong battlefield through Zhangbei. Before the advance army did not take Zhangbei, he could not make any rash moves in this direction for the time being.

Despite advancing into the current battle situation, he didn't need to worry about it. However, Du Kaishan believed that as long as Zhangbei was not taken, then it was possible for the Japanese army to increase troops in the Suinan and Suidong battlefields at any time. If Kangbao is taken and the troops are transferred, it will leave a rather unstable factor for himself and Chen Hanzhang's flanks. He didn't want to let the Japanese army turn his hand around and give him that kind of time because of his carelessness.
