Speaking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly felt that he had gone too far. In the latter words, some interfered with other people's specific battlefield commands. Scratching his head, Yang Zhen said: "Boss, I am just proposing some suggestions based on the development and changes of the shape, not to really interfere with your command on the battlefield. ”

"When the boss was the commander of the army and the commander-in-chief of the Nanchang Uprising, I, a junior, was still carrying a schoolbag and just started to enter the primary school. In terms of military ability and combat experience, my junior is too far behind you. What I am talking to you about now is mainly about the strategic cooperation between our two armies and the areas where the Jinsui Military Region needs to cooperate according to our predetermined operational plan. As for the actual operational command, it is still necessary to focus on the Jinsui Military Region itself. ”

"Actually, I'm not too worried about the Ningma Eighty-first Army of the Yikezhao League. Although this army has a large number of cavalry, its real combat effectiveness is not strong, and the equipment of the army is poor. Coupled with the internal contradictions in Ningma, the army is stationed in the Yikezhao League as a guest army, and it may not be able to fight with our army for the Baotou area. ”

"I'm most worried not about them, but about the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations in the back. Although the equipment of this department is mainly made in Shanxi, it can only be said that it is average, but its combat effectiveness is definitely the first among the entire Jin Sui army. Even compared with the first-class main force of the Central Army, it is not inferior, and it is extremely good at long-distance running operations. ”

"The deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations said that he was better at defense. But in my opinion, his ability to conduct long-distance mobile combat and attack is also above his defensive capability. Several battles at Bailingmiao, Wuyuan, and Baotou have all shown the characteristics of their proficiency in the use of long-distance attack tactics, their strong ability to grasp the battlefield, and their extremely strong mobile combat capability. ”

"Once our army launches an attack, the main force of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army will inevitably enter the battle. Judging by his extremely strong ability to grasp the battlefield and make judgments, his troops will definitely not remain indifferent. If this person had made up his mind to intervene in the siege of Baotou, the situation would have been extremely complicated for us. ”

But this person also has a characteristic, that is, he has a strong patriotic ideology and a strong ability to think independently. For us, his hostility is far less intense than that of the Chongqing side. And most importantly, he has a certain self-preservation mentality. As a person who has actually broken away from the Jin Sui army and has become a separate faction, he still cherishes his descendants. ”

"Judging from the appearance of the period during which he was stationed, it is unlikely that he would have risked a civil war and would have done so when our army had already completed the siege of Baotou. But we can't take it absolutely lightly, after all, Suiyuan is still someone's territory, at least in name. ”

"He is now confined to the Houtao area, where the land is barren and the people are poor, and the sources of food and salary are extremely scarce. In order to expand their own living space, it is difficult to be unmoved when the main force of the Mongolian garrison is pinned down by our army and cannot return to Baotou. Without reinforcements from other quarters, the Japanese cavalry group in Baotou alone was no match for him. ”

"And with his acumen on the battlefield, after our army launched an offensive, it is impossible for him not to ignore the changes in the military pattern of the entire Suiyuan battlefield. Once we can't grab it in front of it or close the Baotou, it is easy for him to take advantage of it. ”

"Boss, the Jinsui Military Region can start in February next year and send a group of units with relatively strong combat effectiveness to secretly infiltrate the Daqingshan area and join up with the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment. It is best to at least double the strength of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment. ”

"At the same time, infiltrate the troops of the past, do not take any action, hide and standby, and preserve strength. Once the main force of the enemy army in Baotou moves eastward, it can immediately launch an attack on the spot and attack the nearest Baotou. Or spread out along the line of Dahuabei Mountain with the main force, cut off the traffic between Baotou and Wuyuan before the main force arrives, at least until the main force of the military region arrives. ”

"Of course, you can also depend on the situation. If our army starts on the Eastern Front, and you think the conditions are okay, your main forces can go north in advance. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade to be held back by us, the battle for Baotou was started in advance. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's construction and plan, Lao Shuai hesitated for a moment before saying: "Comrade Yang Zhen, we don't have any opinions on other places. However, the shape of the Daqingshan area is more complicated, there are not only Japanese puppet troops, but also many miscellaneous armed forces under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance. ”

"These miscellaneous armed forces that fought both the Japanese army and us were bandits who were originally dispersed by us, and now they have the eight war zones and various names given by some quarters. Except for a few, most of these people are more than enough to disturb the people and not fight enough. ”

"Most of the few combat-ready units were recruited by the bandit forces that we had dispersed. Very strong in combat and familiar with the terrain. As long as they think that they have grabbed their territory, they will be able to fight whoever they want. These scattered, snake-like miscellaneous armed forces have caused us more trouble in the Daqingshan area than the Japanese puppet army. ”

"And it's located in a mountainous area, surrounded by a predominantly nomadic area, and the product is quite barren. The limited food production simply cannot support the entry of a large number of our troops. The ability to support the 2,000-odd people of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment there is already the limit, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to sustain any more. ”

"In the first half of this year, that is, before the launch of your current battle, the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia concentrated a large number of Japanese puppet troops and carried out repeated dragnet sweeps against our Daqingshan guerrilla base area. At present, our troops in the Daqingshan area have suffered heavy losses in the anti-sweeping battle. At present, the troops have been withdrawn to the Suixi area, and the environment is quite difficult. ”

"The land and people in Suixi are barren and poor, and they are not a grain producing area. At present, the troops who have been withdrawn there to rest are only guaranteed two bowls of mushy porridge made from wild rapeseed per person a day, and very little food is seen. If the number of troops is increased, even if it is a hundred, I am afraid that the supply is really unable to support it. ”

"Comrade Yang Zhen, see if this is okay. Due to the geographical relationship of the Yellow River Loop, floods occur in mid-March every year. At this time, all river crossing operations on the Yellow River could only be stopped because of the relationship between Ling Xun. If we choose to act during the flood season, then some aspects of the Ikezhao League region will not be able to cross the river because of the opening of the river. ”

"By simply dealing with the five original aspects, our pressure has been reduced a lot. After all, compared with the Wuyuan side, the Yikezhao League area and Baotou are only separated by a river. At such a close distance, they could have done it early and arrived at night. If we wait until after the flood to take action, we can at least buy us a month. ”

The boss's voice fell, and the chairman interjected: "Our relationship with the five originals is still relatively harmonious, at least for now. If we can avoid conflict with the Five Plains, we should do our best to avoid conflict. For them, we still try to fight for them as much as possible. ”

The chairman's words still had the boss's worries, Yang Zhen stood on the map and pondered for a long time before saying: "Boss, I feel that the key to solving the way to avoid a political crisis is still in a fast word." For us, this battle is to see who has a more sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield and moves faster, and who can seize the upper hand in this battle. ”

"It's just a pity that our airborne division has just been formed, and even the parachutes are not yet complete. If our airborne division has completed its training, it will be completely possible to parachute between Dahuabei Mountain and Guyang after the battle begins, cut off the line of communication between Wuyuan and Baotou, and the problem will be solved in one sentence. ”

"In this way, the miscellaneous armed forces around Daqing Mountain will be handed over to us to deal with. Next month, we will mobilize two reconnaissance squadrons to northern Shaanxi, and depending on the situation, we will either parachute in the Daqingshan area or infiltrate the Daqingshan area through the Jinsui District, so as to specifically wipe out these miscellaneous local armed forces. ”

"At the same time, we used northern Shaanxi as a base to airdrop a batch of food, supplies, and ammunition to the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment. However, before the campaign was launched, it was still necessary to increase the number of troops in the Daqingshan area by means of covert infiltration. With the existing strength of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment, it is difficult to meet the task of seizing the front line of Dahuabei Mountain in a short period of time. ”

"With the Jinsui District and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, I want to raise 5,000 troops to use two months' food, which can still meet the needs. The local products of Daqingshan cannot support such a long time and so many troops. But we can consider the troops that infiltrate it, carry part of it themselves, and we can choose to airdrop the insufficient part. ”

"Before the campaign is launched, we will mobilize six American-made C46 transport planes to northern Shaanxi. If we start to act now and build secret airfields in the Mizhi and Baode areas, I feel that it should be too late. However, the airdrop is easy to expose our campaign intentions, and I think it is best to infiltrate the troops themselves as much as possible. ”

After pondering for a long time, the boss shook his head and said: "I think so, during the period from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, our main task is to make every effort to adjust the establishment, upgrade and form new field troops. By February of next year, that is, before your campaign is launched, we will gradually advance northward with a portion of our forces. ”

"First with the strength of no less than two regiments, cross the Outer Great Wall and enter the Manhan Mountain and Matou Mountain on the Qingshui River and the Liangcheng line, and first open up the land connection with the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment. At the same time, with a part of the force, it will develop into the core area of Daqingshan around Wuchuan, first gradually restore our guerrilla base areas in Suinan, and attract the attention of the enemy forces in Qingshuihe, Liangcheng, Guisui, and Zhuozi. ”

"Covering the rest of the troops is deployed along the border and in the territory of Youyu. After the start of your battle, regardless of whether the Japanese cavalry group stationed in Baotou was transferred east to participate in the battle, our follow-up troops quickly advanced northward. Strive to complete the encirclement of the Japanese army in Baotou in the shortest possible time. And seize the first line of Guyang and Dahuabei Mountain, and block the traffic from Wuyuan to Baotou. ”

"Comrade Yang Zhen, it's not that we are cautious. Instead, there have been new changes in the hostile situation in northern Shanxi and Suiyuan. At present, the main force of the 26th Division, which was originally stationed on the front line of Datong, Liangcheng, and Zhuozi, has indeed been transferred to the Chadong area. However, their transfer did not mean that the Japanese army had relaxed its control over this area. ”

"After the entire Shanxi First Army completed the sweep of our Jin-Cha-Ji and Taihang districts, it took the independent mixed third brigade stationed in the Laoxian area as the backbone, and transferred six infantry squadrons from the 36th Division and the 37th Division of Yuncheng stationed in Yangquan to the north and stationed on the front line of Datong and Fengzhen, Zhuozi and Liangcheng to take over the defense of the 26th Division."

"At the same time, according to the information we have received so far, the Japanese army is forming the 69th Division with the 16th Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment stationed in Linfen, Shanxi Province as the backbone. At present, although the division is undergoing reorganization, the first part has been stationed in Laoxian County to take over the defense of the independent mixed third brigade. According to the current situation, after the main force of the 26th Division was transferred eastward, the total strength of the Japanese army in northern Jinbei and Suiyuan was not significantly weakened. ”
