Chapter 205: Du Kaishan's Thoughts
20_20434 Regarding Du Kaishan's words, Yang Zhen frowned and said: "Old Du, I know better than you what you said, otherwise the headquarters would not approve Chen Hanzhang's direct detour to Datong battle plan...... The update is so fast. I don't have much time to listen to you here. Say everything you have in mind in a simple and concise way. And the little attention you said, also say it happily. ”
was criticized by Yang Zhen, and then remembered that the most hated thing by No. 1 was Du Kaishan, who had a long speech, and hurriedly walked to the map and said: "What I feel now is that in the next battle, the Japanese army will continue to use the terrain for defense in southern Chanan, while consuming the strength of our army little by little." But next, they will go all out to counterattack to the north of Jin. ”
"But the north of Jin and Suinan are connected by mountains and rivers, and there is only one Great Wall between the two places as a natural dividing line, but in fact they are one. No. 1, the most dangerous thing now is not the front of Datong, but the left wing of Datong. In other words, the line of left cloud and right 'jade' to the west of Datong is likely to be used by the Japanese army. ”
"As I said before, even if the First Army is a little short of troops now, the Japanese army can use the Zhengtai Railway at any time to mobilize troops from other areas in the Guannai to enter Shanxi. Although the railway north of Huairen has become impassable. However, the troops mobilized by the Japanese army from Shi'men, Zhengding, Pingjin, and even Xuzhou could completely pass through the Zhengtai Railway and transfer to the Jinpu Railway and get off at Daiyue and Shuoxian. ”
"Using the Guishuo Highway, passing through the left cloud and the right 'jade', the suicide tiger went out of the Great Wall and directly 'inserted' Liangcheng, outflanking the left flank of our army's battlefield in Suinan. Although our army has now taken Guisui, the entire deployment of troops is concentrated on the battlefields around Baotou and Jining, and it has become a situation of heavy emphasis at both ends and light on the middle. ”
"We have been fighting with the Japanese army for so many years, and we already have a considerable understanding of the Japanese army's marching ability. At the same time, there have been many contacts with the Japanese army's tactics of frontal assault and flank detour. No. 1, this kind of tactic of penetrating and 'interspersing' in great depth and detour is not only used by us, but also by the Japanese army when needed. ”
"Once the Japanese army mobilizes a large number of troops, while attacking our army in Datong, it will make a detour on the flank of our army with a part of its forces. Then whether their target is the front line from Datong to Fengzhen, or the current Suidong battlefield, it will make all units of our army be attacked from the front and back and fall into great passivity. ”
"Lao Liu's biggest 'fault' is that he didn't see this, let alone the importance of Datong to the Japanese army. He believed that the troops under the command of Lao Chen would hold out until he had completely eliminated the 26th and 110th Divisions, and that the main force would have no problem in advancing westward. ”
He only saw that the terrain in northern Jin and Suinan was conducive to defense, but he did not expect that the Japanese army would use a wide range of detours to penetrate and 'intersperse' and outflank the entire battlefield of our army. Most crucially, he underestimated the speed and efficiency of the Japanese army's mobilization of reinforcements, as well as its strength. ”
In fact, the Japanese army's large-scale roundabout outflanking practice has been precedent more than once. In the Battle of Songhu, when the Japanese army could not hold on in frontal combat, it took advantage of its naval superiority to mobilize several divisions to land from Jinshanwei, outflank the entire flank of the Songhu battlefield, and forced hundreds of thousands of troops on the Songhu battlefield to retreat. ”
"In the Battle of Xinkou, when the Xinkou battlefield was facing each other for a long time, it also took the lead in making a breakthrough from the Niangzi Pass on the flank of the Xinkou battlefield. On the Northeast Battlefield, we have also encountered the flanking of the Japanese army more than once. Therefore, we must guard against this tactic of the Japanese army. ”
"Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army are more suitable for this kind of large-scale detour and 'interspersed' use. One Type 38 plus 120 rounds of ammunition was enough to sustain several days of combat with the training level of the Japanese army. The most important thing is that although the Japanese army has a poor strategic supply capacity, they can carry as little food as possible and more ammunition and ammunition as much as possible. ”
"As for the shortage of food, you are also familiar with their habit No. 1, the Japanese army has always been accustomed to collecting on the spot. In addition, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of military trucks before the war for this operation. Maybe their supply capacity is no worse than we think. ”
Although Lao Liu said that because of his stubbornness and mentality of seeking stability, he affected the development of the war situation. However, Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui's violation of discipline made up for it to a certain extent. I took a look at the current battle situation in Kangbao, and Yang Jicai, this kid is a bit level. As soon as reinforcements arrive, the passage to the west can be opened in a short time, and there will be almost no problems. ”
On the front, although Lao Liu said that he had made a mistake, he was also entangled in the main force of the 110th Division after all, and even some of its troops had been divided and surrounded. Now, if our army directly 'inserts' Jining, the 110th Division will no longer have any strength to stop it. ”
"My opinion is very simple, the direction of Jining will be done according to what you say. But in terms of reinforcements, I think one division is definitely not enough. Moreover, in the face of the current situation of the frontal battlefield on the Western Front, the 26th Division is already precarious, and the 110th Division has also been divided by our army, and now it is basically difficult to protect itself. ”
"Independent 'mixed' into the Ninth Brigade, as long as Wang Minggui's 'drawn' reinforcements arrive, I believe that Yang Jicai will not let them have any chance to pose a threat to us. In the face of this situation, we left four divisions of troops, which was also too wasteful. I built not one division, but two main divisions, as well as most of the armored corps, to the west. ”
"But instead of reinforcing the battlefields of Suinan and northern Jin, we continued to the west, and after taking Liangcheng, we entered the pass from the mouth of the tiger and the mouth of the wall, seized the right 'jade', the left cloud and directly 'inserted' Shuoxian and Huairen, and completely cut off the Tongpu railway. On the Jining battlefield, as long as reinforcements from the Datong direction arrive, Commander Chen, who has no worries, can turn north. ”
"Two infantry regiments, a cavalry brigade, plus a tank regiment, against a security division, in the case of worry-free conditions on the southern front, the strength is already enough. Therefore, I think the most important thing we should do is to cooperate with the frontal battlefield of Datong from the left flank and block the Japanese army's route of carrying out a wide range of detours. The reinforcements that forced the Japanese army to 'draw' troops fought against our army in the Datong Basin. ”
"Actually, Lao Mu is not very right, when he was 'interspersed' to Datong, he encountered four infantry brigades of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, which had also just arrived there and was preparing to reinforce the 69th Division. Otherwise, with the strength of the Japanese army originally stationed in Datong, I am afraid that he has already taken Datong. ”
"It's a step late, and there are several times more guests here. However, before the arrival of new reinforcements from the Japanese army, with the two infantry regiments, one cavalry brigade, and one tank regiment in the hands of Lao Mu, and the main force of the former Jizhong Military Region and the remaining troops of the Jinsui Military Region to cooperate in the operation, they could still hold out for a while. ”
"No. 1, in fact, in addition to the frontal battlefield on the Western Front, there is another direction, and I think it is completely possible to 'pump' and transfer one or two divisions of troops without affecting the overall battle situation in that direction. Of course, I mean, at least it won't affect the current situation of the war. ”
"Judging by the enemy's situation on the battlefield, the current strength of the battlefield in Chanan is actually a bit large. Although one division and one brigade were transferred, the main force of the 'advance' was still there, and our army still had two divisions. No. 1, the current 'Ting' march is not the 'Ting' march when he just went north. ”
"After a winter of training and replenishment, now the soldiers are strong. Although the equipment is the standard of light equipment, it is no longer inferior to the independent "mixed" units of the Japanese army at the brigade level. The firepower configuration of one of its brigades even exceeded that of a wing of the Japanese army. Coupled with the superiority in troops, they still have more than enough living forces there. ”
"Moreover, Chanan itself is a guerrilla zone for some units of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and to the south is the core area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. Although the remaining troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region suffered heavy losses during the sweep last winter, they still retained a large amount of strength. ”
"In this way, the actual available forces on the battlefield of Chanan are the one in which the largest number of operations on the entire Western Front are fought. In addition to the command ability of the commander of the 'advance' march, I have seen that it is completely possible to 'draw' the strength of a division in the southern battlefield and advance westward to the northern Shanxi battlefield. In this way, Lao Chen's marching and arranging the formation was more calm. ”
"As for the frontal battlefield on the Western Front, I am not prepared to adjust the deployment of Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui. However, on the battlefield of Yellow Flag and Huade, I decided to continue to outflank the 110th Division with the strength of two divisions. 'Pumping' transferred the strength of a division to converge with Kangbao's Yang Jicai's department. Then, depending on the changes in the battle situation, further adjustments are being made. ”
"There is also the most critical one, that is, we must increase the intensity of air raids and sabotage on the Zhengtai and Tongpu railways, and at least completely paralyze the Zhengtai railways. Curb the speed at which the Japanese army mobilized troops from other directions to the battlefield in northern Jin. In order to ensure the operation of our army in northern Shanxi as much as possible, we always have the initiative in the battle situation. ”
Regarding Du Kaishan's thoughts, Yang Zhen pondered for a long time and said: "I think it's okay, the frontal battlefield on the Western Front will be done according to your opinion." You are right, although Ouyang Jishan and Wang Minggui violated discipline, they finally partially made up for Liu Changshun's mistakes and did not cause too bad an impact. ”
"You go back and get ready, and come with me to the Western Front tomorrow morning. You will succeed Liu Changshun as the military commander of the frontal battlefield on the Western Front. As for Liu Changshun, he was transferred back to the headquarters for another appointment. Perhaps choosing him to replace Chen Hanzhang was a mistake in itself. His ability is not enough to take on such an important responsibility. ”
"As for the battlefield of Chanan, you don't have to think about it anymore. The north of Shanxi is the 'door' household, and the south of Chanan is the 'door' household of Pingjin. It is certainly not comfortable to lose the Japanese army in Datong, but if you lose Zhangjiakou, the Japanese army will have a hard time. Our army took Datong and opened the 'door' of Shanxi. If Zhangjiakou is taken, it will be equivalent to opening the way into Pingjin. ”
"Therefore, the Japanese army will not give up the front line of Zhangjiakou, and will inevitably mobilize reinforcements. The pressure on the Chanan battlefield in the future is only likely to be greater. It's just that right now, it's not time to explode in that direction. But once it erupts, the pressure will definitely not be less than the direction of northern Jin. ”
"The battlefields of southern Chasa and northern Jin, on the surface, are two parts, but in fact they are one. Our army's entry into northern Shanxi has actually posed a certain threat to the flank of the Japanese army in southern Chanan. If I am not misjudged, I am afraid that the Japanese army will have to mobilize reserves and second-line troops to invest in the battlefields of northern Jin and southern Cha. ”
"The current 'pumping' of too many troops from Chanan can certainly quench the thirst of the near-term, but it is very unfavorable to the long-term changes in the war situation. Our army in the north of Jin also needs to hold back some of the troops that the Japanese army may reinforce in the southern battlefield. However, considering the pressure of Chen Hanzhang and you, the headquarters has now 'drawn' a division from the general reserve and is moving westward at the same time. Tomorrow morning, we will arrive in Tongliao. ”
"There are also troops from the Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Southern Hebei Military Regions mobilized by the central government, which have entered the Jinnan region one after another. The troops of the Taiyue and Taihang Military Regions have completed their assembly. In addition to the three main regiments in Beiyue District, the rest of the troops are also being assembled one after another. These troops are enough for you to eat, so you don't have to worry about the battlefield in Chanan. ”――2aahhh+30201847――>。
