20_20434The most critical thing is that in view of the urgency of the war situation, Commander Chen Hanzhang, who is currently sitting in Fengzhen and can almost be said to be attacked on three sides, has sent three telegrams to Liu Changshun in a row. Let it immediately draw out a division, and under the cover of the 1st Armored Brigade, immediately pass through Kangbao, Shangyi, and Xinghe, and advance to the line of Jining and Fengzhen.

In cooperation with the advance army, the troops that were advancing to the north of Jin at this time, as well as the troops drawn from the Beiyue District, responded to the peripheral operations of Datong. At least before reinforcements from other directions arrive, make up for the current shortage of troops on the Suinan battlefield. Strive to get rid of the 69th Division in a short period of time.

Wang Minggui still knows very well that Commander Chen's personality will not send three telegrams in a row with increasingly tough wording until the critical moment. can make Commander Chen send three telegrams in a row, indicating that Commander Chen has now reached the most critical moment.

⊙, ∧ anshu⊥ba. Kangbao is the only way to reinforce the front line of Jining and Fengzhen on the frontal battlefield of the Western Front, and it is also the shortest route. If the Kangbao front line is not taken, if Chen Hanzhang is reinforced, the frontal battlefield on the western front can only detour to the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain and take the route that the troops have taken. It's just that even if the passage over Yinshan has been identified, it can't afford to delay in time.

On the battlefield, time is equal to victory, time is equal to success or failure, does he understand? Okay, even if the passage from Chanan to Suidong has not been completely blocked, the Japanese army still has the possibility of mobilizing reinforcements from Chanan or northeastern Jin to reinforce Suidong. But when you are the advance army on the battlefield of Chanan, a few columns are decorations there.

It is true that the current offensive of the advance march is not progressing quickly. But it has been steadily and steadily, constantly combining small depth with large depth, and outflanking the Japanese army in front of it. These days, the entire Japanese army in Chanan has been practically cut into pieces by relying on the defensive line formed by the mountains.

One of its strikers has hit the periphery of Zhangjiakou. The Japanese army in Chanan is now too busy to take care of itself, and there is still the energy to send troops to reinforce the battlefields of northern Jin and Suidong? The current shape can be said to be a rare opportunity for the entire Western Front to expand the results of the war.

Faced with the current opportunity, this old man stubbornly insisted on eating the remnants of the 26th Division first, and then attacking and advancing westward. Ignoring the only remaining wing of the remnants of the 26th Division, it was not capable of carrying out any counterattack. With the strength of five regiments, is it a little embarrassing and necessary to fight a division whose backbone has been broken?

The most important thing is that the 110th Division on the front line of Huade and Shangdu, after the reinforcements arrive, even if you want to solve it with a 10th Division. But you can't just push a little bit head-on, and you can't even flank and outflank it. In addition to the reserves of the two regiments in hand, seven regiments plus four tank battalions were used to fight a 110th division, which was a waste of troops.

However, no matter what Wang Minggui said or what the telegram from the headquarters and Chen Hanzhang demanded, Liu Changshun refused to change his deployment until the 26th Division was completely encircled and annihilated. If I am in a hurry, if all the troops in my hands are put into the front-line battle and distributed equally, then what if the Japanese army in Chanan is transferred to outflank me?

The orders of the headquarters are considered in the overall situation, and they may not be so thoughtful in the local battlefield. And he is currently the military commander of the entire Suidong and Chaxi battlefields, and he cannot but consider many things carefully. Every policy decision should not only take into account the overall situation, but also consider the development and changes of the battlefield it undertakes.

It is true that there is an order from the higher-ups, but the key thing at present is that the 26th Division is still stubbornly resisting. The 110th Division is still alive and in a fierce battle with the troops, and it has not been defeated. The passage of the Japanese army to reinforce the Suidong battlefield through Chanan has not been completely blocked.

If the current Japanese army needs to, it can still mobilize new divisions at any time to reinforce the Suidong and Chaxi battlefields through Shangyi. The battlefields of Suidong and Chaxi are now the key to the overall situation, and they also bear the cover of the flanks of the entire Chasharan battlefield. It is in a critical strategic position.

In this case, in the event of any accidents. The entire Suidong battlefield has paid a lot of price at the moment, and the favorable situation created by Zào will be wiped out in an instant, and it will even affect the Chanan battlefield. Who will be responsible for this responsibility and consequences?

He, Commander Chen, had to face the First Army in Shanxi, while I had to face the main force of the entire Japanese North China Front here. Let me have no problem with reinforcements now, as long as the advance army can take Zhangjiakou and completely cut off the Pingsui railway, I can immediately mobilize troops to attack.

However, now that the Pingsui Railway has not been cut off, the Japanese army can reinforce the Suidong battlefield at any time from other parts of North China through the Guò Railway. The Wanquan and Zhangbei lines were still in the hands of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army could mobilize reinforcements to arrive here by the Tongguò railway. Don't forget the information you just received that the 15th Division, which the Japanese army had already transferred from East China, had arrived in the Pingjin area.

What if the Japanese choose to attack from these two places after the arrival of new reinforcements, outflank me in a roundabout way, and throw all the reserves into it, what will I do when I have no troops to adjust? Commander Chen is responsible for the roundabout troops, and I, Liu Changshun, are responsible for the battle situation on the entire Western Front.

Facing this acting commander who didn't know whether he was too cautious or stubborn, Wang Minggui, who had no choice but to return in vain. On the way back, Wang Minggui made up his mind to directly transfer a regiment and no less than one tank battalion from the battlefield where the 26th Division was currently encircled and annihilated to Yang Jicai without going through Liu Changshun.

The Kangbao front line is the only way for the frontal battlefield on the Western Front to reinforce the troops behind enemy lines, no matter when Commander Liu intends to reinforce Commander Chen. Unless you win Huade and go straight to the front line of Shangyi, Kangbao is the only way to go. Taking Kangbao or solving the problem of the majority of the independent mixed 9th Brigade is to create conditions for the next operation.

No matter when this Commander Liu intends to carry out the orders of the headquarters, Kang Bao will be a very important position. And now the most critical thing is that Yang Jicai, who is in urgent need of reinforcements, is no longer able to stick to the independent Ninth Mixed Brigade, but whether he can hold on to the moment when the main force is reinforced.

After returning to the headquarters of the 17th Division, Wang Minggui quickly adjusted his deployment according to his own ideas after a brief discussion with Ouyang Jishan. The three battalions of the 61st Regiment and the 63rd Regiment of the 21st Division were transferred from the relatively stable Eastern Front, and were attached to a 155th howitzer company of artillery directly under the division, a company of 122 howitzers of the artillery regiment directly under the division, and a company of 75-mm field artillery.

and strengthened two tank companies of the 1st Armored Brigade and 3 tank companies of the 1st Independent Tank Battalion. Immediately pass through the east of Taoton, and forcibly intersperse with the Ciying Temple. Even in order to increase the speed of action, do not wait for the rest of the troops to complete the assembly. Wang Minggui will always serve as the third battalion of the 63rd Regiment of the reserve, and the third company of the first independent tank battalion will first penetrate into the territory of Kangbao.

Before the operation began, Ouyang Jishan personally talked to the commander and political commissar of the 61st Regiment and asked him to arrive at the battlefield outside Kangbao before tomorrow morning, at any cost. Even if the car overturned dozens of cars, as long as he could get to Kangbao on time, it would be a great achievement.

In addition to privately dispatching reinforcements for Yang Jicai from his own front, Wang Minggui also adjusted his own deployment for the encirclement and annihilation of the 26th Division. In the face of the remnants of the 26th Division, which was still stubbornly resisting relying on the fortified area, Wang Minggui also issued a general attack order.

The three infantry regiments and two tank battalions at hand, under the cover of most of the artillery fire, adopted the tactics of attacking from three sides simultaneously to launch the final offensive. The order he gave to the two division commanders at the front line was that by noon tomorrow at the latest, the remnants of the enemy in front of him must be eliminated cleanly and completely.

At the same time, with the strength of one regiment, it was accompanied by two companies of the 2nd Independent Tank Battalion, one company each of 100-mm howitzers and 76-mm cannons, and a company of twin 23-mm anti-aircraft guns. Immediately attack and advance to the southwest of the 110th Division's flank Ulan and Hatabon lines, and directly outflank the flanks of the Huade line.

The order for this general attack and the flank action to outflank the 110th Division were also issued by Wang Minggui behind Liu Changshun's back. Of course, this is with the support of political commissar Ouyang Jishan, otherwise he, the chief of staff, would have been difficult to mobilize troops without the approval of the military commander.

Because according to Liu Changshun's idea, the distance between the butt of the 110th Division and the front line of Huade and Shangdu is not enough. If the troops dispatched by the 26th Division and the 110th Division are immediately and completely resolved, it is very likely that they will be retracted to the front line of Huade and Shangdu, which will affect his entire battle plan of luring the snake out of the hole and defending the counterattack.

Therefore, although the remnants of the 26th Division had been compressed into a narrow strip of less than one kilometer long from east to west and less than four kilometers wide from north to south, Liu Changshun had not given the order for a final general attack. He also waited for the 110th Division to put the last field wing on the battlefield and then launch a general offensive on all fronts. As for now, he is not in a hurry to deal with the remnants of the 26th Division first.

Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Wang Minggui, who is worried about the current battle situation, does not have so much time to persuade Liu Changshun's Buddha who is too stable. The key is that he also knows that it is difficult for him to do Liu Changshun's work. Instead of fighting a lawsuit on the lips, it is better to use the opportunity of commanding the battlefield with the white flag to find a way to make up for it.

If it weren't for the order before the headquarters to immediately transfer a division of troops and intersperse them with the front line of Jining and Fengzhen, Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui would not have done this. At least Ouyang Jishan, who is very principled, will resolutely not do this. In the regulations and ordinances of the Anti-Japanese Federation, without orders from their superiors, political committee members have no right to interfere with the battlefield command of military commanders.

However, the current situation is that there is an order from the superiors, but the military commander is slow to move because of some concerns. As a political commissar, Ouyang Jishan could not but consider adopting some alternative methods without the full authorization of his superiors. At least before it has too much impact on the tide of the battle, a certain amount of losses can be recovered.

After the adjustment was completed, Ouyang Jishan did not let Wang Minggui participate, and drafted an urgent telegram by himself. The details of this matter were reported to the headquarters in a complete manner. The situation of private adjustment of deployment will also be reported to headquarters. On the telegram, Ouyang Jishan took all the responsibilities.

It is different from Yi Liangpin, who has always been a military commander since he joined the Red Army and was the main commander of the Fourth Front Army during the Red Army. Although Ouyang Jishan also served as the regiment commander in the 115th Division for a short time. But most of the time, he is still a political worker. Coupled with the experience of the Red Army in his early years, he was extremely principled.

If it weren't for the orders of his superiors, he would not have interfered with the command of the military commander. But for a political worker like him, who came from the old Red Army, there are orders from his superiors, and they must be carried out vigorously and resolutely. When Liu Changshun carried out the orders of the headquarters, he procrastinated, and even disguised perfunctory, which made him extremely dissatisfied, so he agreed to Wang Minggui's private adjustment of the deployment
