Guo Bingxun picked up the red and blue pencils, marked the location of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army on the map, and marked the locations of several roads to the north and west of Liao County in red, and then pointed out the location of Liao County and continued: "It is true that the current 15th Division is sweeping our Taihang and Taiyue base areas. But its location is quite ingenious. ”

"And now the main force of Wang's puppet Second Front Army has now arrived in northern Henan, and is taking Huixian and Anyang as bases, and is adopting the tactics of step-by-step tactics, steadily advancing from the southeast to our Taihang in depth. In addition, the two puppet army divisions that have launched operations and advanced northeast from Yicheng and Qinshui, as well as the North China puppet security army that partially cooperated. ”

"The entire puppet army system, the troops invested in the Taihang District, are more than 50,000 people. This number accounts for almost the entire North China regular puppet army and the local puppet army combined, and one-third of the total is slightly more. Most of them are the original motley armies that defected to the enemy last year and this year. ”

"And with other puppet armies that are being transferred one after another, that is to say, the puppet army that the Japanese army has invested in the Shanxi battlefield, the number of troops is still increasing. The Japanese army did not hesitate to make such a big move against the puppet army in the entire enemy-occupied area of China, disrupted the original garrison location and structure, and offered a high price, is it just to support a group of errands? ”

Judging from the battle reports transferred from Taihang District, these ragtag troops of the former Nationalist Government are obviously working very hard in order to obtain a piece of territory. Moreover, most of these puppet troops were born in the old Northwest Army, and their combat effectiveness was not very weak, and even one of them was quite strong. ”

"In particular, this 69th Army surrendered to the enemy, although it was formed with the local security team and the Hebei People's Army after the outbreak of the 77 Incident. However, the predecessors of those local security teams were all retained by the Northwest Army after the Central Plains War. Basically, it inherited the style of the Northwest Army that can endure hardships, fight fiercely, and dare to fight white-knuckle battles. ”

"If Okamura Ninji uses the territory that these former motley troops crave the most as bait, I can't help but say that he is exactly the right medicine. These miscellaneous troops, who have been squeezed out, and even have been in short supply of food and ammunition for a long time, and have even been reduced to the original motley troops with no food and clothing, have a strong desire for a piece of territory. ”

"I don't know if Okamura Ninji will really fulfill his promise after the war, but now I look at these puppet armies quite like the puppet Manchurian army back then. It can be said that Okamura Ninji used China to control China and won over the Chinese to fight the Chinese, and he did more successfully than his superiors and predecessors. These promises of his are the appetite of those puppet army generals. ”

And with the cooperation of so many puppet armies with not weak combat effectiveness, the Japanese army can be said to have truly realized the original intention of saving troops. These puppet soldiers worked so hard to grab the territory, which was also the original intention of Okamura Ninji to make a promise to them. If you use these puppet armies to fight the national government, I'm afraid that Okamura Ninji himself will not trust these people. ”

"The high-level leaders of these puppet armies are all snakes and rats, and they are grass-like characters on the wall. They don't do things so desperately on their own, leaving no way back. They will not kill Chongqing, after all, they are orthodox and control the country's laws and power. If the Japanese fail one day, it's better to leave a way back."

"But when it is used to hit us, I think the Japanese are absolutely relieved. Using the puppet army that has been transferred to or will be transferred to the southeast of Jin Province to deal with our Taihang District, at least on the surface, the strength is sufficient. No. 1, don't you think that the Japanese army also took out a 15th division, as a supervisor of the war, isn't this move a few times in one fell swoop? ”

"The Japanese are ready to use the puppet army, but they don't trust it, and it's normal to send a department to supervise the war or monitor it. But in a word, when the strength of the puppet army is enough, and these puppet troops are very desperate under the lure of their territory, it is not normal to take out so many troops to monitor. ”

Guo Bingxun's voice fell, and Yang Zhen immediately reacted and said: "Old Guo, you are worried that the Japanese army is currently sweeping Taihang and Taiyue District, and the Japanese puppet army is advancing hand in hand, which is a bluff. Okamura Ningji put this 15th Division on the front line of Liao County, and his real intention was to fake Yu and destroy Yu? Under the cover of sweeping the Taihang District, we will take our eyes off this 15th Division. ”

"In fact, they used the sweep of the Taihang District as a cover to cover their next move? Its real purpose is not our Taihang Military Region, but to use this as a cover, in fact, the ultimate goal of this 15th Division is not the northwest of Shanxi, or the battlefield of northern Shanxi? ”

Yang Zhen's words fell, and Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "It's not that I'm worried, but I'm quite worried." The Japanese army has invested too much in the sweeping forces of our Taihang and Taiyue districts this time. On the surface, it seems that they want to completely solve the southeast of Shanxi and our two major base areas, so that the north of Shanxi has no worries. ”

"But if the Japanese army is urgently formed, it will have time to appear on the battlefield in northern Jin in the future because of the change in the war situation and the intervention of the Nanjing dispatch army. The Nakajima detachment, which is now staying on the line of Linfen, Hongdong, and Zhaocheng, has obviously too many Japanese troops. If this sweep required the Japanese army to invest so many troops, then there would have been no need for such a big move in the first place. ”

"This time, I received a large-scale transfer of the puppet army from the troops in the Guannai, and the Japanese army transferred the puppet army that surrendered to the enemy in Shandong at the end of last year and the beginning of this year from Shandong to Shanxi. The puppet army in Jiangsu was transferred north to Shandong to defend itself, and I have been wondering why the Japanese army is so aggressive? ”

"At present, in Hebei and Shanxi, the actual number of puppet troops in the hands of the Japanese army is not small. In addition to the tens of thousands of horses and horses of the original puppet security army, there are also four brigades and more than 10,000 puppet Manchurian troops who retreated from Rehe and Mukden to Hebei. The puppet army in Hebei is enough to deal with the needs of the Shanxi battlefield. ”

"Looking at it now, this Okamura Ningji is doing this, and he has completely eaten through our domestic politics. Use the former national army that surrendered to the enemy to fight the brother troops in Guannai, and then concentrate their own forces to deal with the situation in the northern Jin Dynasty. For the Japanese army, the puppet Manchu army has been spiritually defeated by our army and is no longer able to shoulder the great responsibility. Moreover, the puppet Manchu army was already quite unreliable in the eyes of the Japanese army. ”

"Rather than this, it is better to transfer the puppet Manchu army to the south and transfer those former national troops who dare to do anything for the sake of the territory to deal with my Taihang base area. It is not difficult to see through this point of the Japanese army's thoughts. However, Okamura Ninji mobilized so many puppet troops with not weak combat effectiveness, and also transferred so many Japanese troops to participate, which is obviously very abnormal. ”

"In addition, judging from the station of this 15th Division after entering the southeast region of Shanxi, on the surface, it seems to block the north of our Taihang District and cut off the connection between Taihang and Jinchaji. But his station, if the war in the north is needed, he can quickly concentrate north at any time. ”

Judging from Chen Hanzhang's entire deployment, he has made preparations to deal with the 32nd Division, which has not yet moved in Taiyuan. But his forces have been used to the extreme, and if a new enemy situation appears, he may have to be passive. But what I am most worried about now is not him, but the encirclement and annihilation of the Zuojian detachment by the Jinsui Military Region. ”

"Once this 15th Division, using the road network built by the Japanese army during the sweep last year, forcibly penetrated from behind and penetrated directly into the northwest of Jin when the Jinsui armed forces surrounded and annihilated the main force of the Zuojian Detachment. At the same time, the 32nd Division was dispatched from Taiyuan to penetrate the front line of Zuoyun and Youyu. Then Chen Hanzhang and the Jinsui Military Region may be caught off guard. ”

"The Jinsui Military Region has placed the main force in the left detachment, and now it seems that although there are some feats of breaking the cauldron, it has also weakened the Jinsui Military Region's own ability to respond in disguise. In the entire Jinsui Military Region, except for a decisive column equivalent to a condensed brigade, there are almost no contingency troops. ”

"Especially when this unit goes south to prevent fishing in troubled waters in the Second World War Zone, it is under great pressure of its own. Once a new enemy situation emerges, I am afraid that I will not have much ability to adapt. Okamura Ninji's hand was indeed quite beautiful, and the strategic cooperation between us and the Kannai brothers was basically destroyed. ”

"Use the puppet army to contain our Taihang Military Region, and with the strength of a detachment, attract all the main forces of the Jinsui Military Region. If you concentrate your forces to counterattack me, not to mention Jinbei, you still have a hidden hand in your hand. Its entire strategic deployment can be described as a set of links. The subtle political measures in our country can be said to be used vividly. ”

"He is very clear, judging by the current political situation in our country. He concentrated his forces to attack us, and the 1st, 2nd, and 8th theaters on the Chongqing side around Shanxi would not give us any response at all. Therefore, he dared to let go and boldly withdraw troops and concentrate his forces to deal with us. ”

"In the First War Zone, he only left two wings. Yuncheng, which confronted the Eighth War Zone, only retained one and a half wings. Even to the World War II Zone, he directly sang an empty city plan. Such a bold action is not based on a detailed analysis of the political situation in the country, and it is simply impossible to dare to do so. ”

"You know, judging from the strength of the troops left in Jinnan now and the situation of the entire Shanxi battlefield. Once the First and Eighth War Zones on the other side of the Yellow River, a counterattack against Jinnan was implemented. He simply couldn't handle it. He was undoubtedly taking a big risk by doing so. But this guy just made such a come, obviously very sure. ”

"At the same time, a series of means have been used to make our various units on the battlefield in Shanxi now fall into a situation of fighting on their own. In fact, the original mutual coordination posture has been torn apart by their hands. Although he is our opponent, we have to admit that he is really beautiful in these hands. ”

"His cunning is arguably the toughest opponent we've ever faced since we re-formed. In particular, an analysis and judgment of the overall environment of our internal affairs can be said to be quite accurate. In the end, he is from China, and his sense of smell can be described as quite sensitive. ”

"And the speed at which the 15th Division was replenished far exceeded our expectations. Originally, I thought that it had encountered an air attack by our army on the Zhengtai Road, plus several brigades lost on the Datong battlefield, it had basically been turned into an empty shelf. It will take at least two months to replenish the gap left by the current attrition of troops. ”

"But I didn't expect this Okamura Ninji to make such a big determination. In just seven days, it was roughly replenished. Although there is still a certain shortage of heavy weapons, it can be said that the troops under your jurisdiction and the troops under your jurisdiction are basically exhausted, and you have the ability to participate in large-scale battles again. ”

"One, I think the ultimate goal of this fifteenth division is no matter where it is. What we should do now is to replenish Chen Hanzhang's strength by at least one division in the shortest possible time. Make sure he has a certain reserve in his hands, and make sure that he has some contingency in his hands. Otherwise, we can see the weakness of his deployment, and Okamura Ninji can also see it. ”

"At that time, Chen Hanzhang, who has even taken out the reserves in his hand, once this 15th division really appears on the battlefield, whether it is northeast Jin, or northwest Jin, or directly attacking northern Jin, he will no longer have troops to adjust. Relying on air power alone, it is difficult for an area as large as the entire Shanxi battlefield to completely make up for the lack of troops on the ground. ”
