The boss knows very well that Chen Hanzhang's words are the truth, there is no exaggeration, and it is also the truth in front of the entire battlefield in northern Jin. The boss insisted on transferring Mu Changqiu's troops to seize Lao County, just so that he could concentrate his troops as much as possible and solve the 21st Division as much as possible. Draw your hand to deal with new enemies that may arise. You must know that the boss does this, but it is quite risky.

Mu Changqiu was on the front line of Ninghua Fort, and the main force of the Jinsui Military Region could rest assured that they could boldly besiege the Zuojian detachment without worrying about the safety of their backs. However, as soon as Mu Changqiu's department was transferred in this way, the back of the main force of the entire Jinsui Military Region was exposed. And the battlefield in the northwest of Jin Province is not very far from the straight-line distance of Taiyuan.

Once the fifteenth division is really as Yang Zhen judged, it will appear on the battlefield. Then their target may not necessarily be the north of Jin, maybe it will be the northwest of Jin. And there, in order to encircle and annihilate the thousands of Japanese troops in the Zuojian detachment, the Jinsui Military Region mobilized almost a force that could be mobilized. The entire hinterland of the Jinsui Military Region sang about the empty city plan.

Once the goal of this 15th Division is the northwest of Shanxi, then the Jinsui Military Region will be very dangerous. This is also the main reason why Chen Hanzhang finally agreed to the boss to transfer Mu Changqiu's troops to participate in the war, but he always only let Mu Changqiu's troops wait on the front line of Laoxian County and Heping Diquan, and did not let him go north to participate in the war.

Mu Changqiu was there, and to the north he could contain the retreat of the 21st Division and cut off its supply lines. To the south, it was possible to prevent the reinforcement of the Japanese army on the Taiyuan line. The most important thing is that Laoxian is still relatively close to the battlefield in the northwest of Shanxi. Once the 15th Division is transferred north, but the target is the battlefield in the northwest of Shanxi, then Mu Changqiu's troops can also be reinforced immediately.

Chen Hanzhang resolutely disagreed with the idea of sending Mu Changqiu's troops north to join the war, and the boss was still very clear. And the boss also knows that under the condition that Mu Changqiu's department is not going north for the time being. Under the situation that the two Japanese armies were advancing almost in unison and breaking through the first line of the Inner Great Wall at the same time, Chen Hanzhang relied on limited forces, and the only solution was to concentrate firepower and troops in the shortest possible time to defeat the first route.

As a military leader, the boss is no stranger to logistics, and he knows the tremendous pressure brought about by transporting these shells and aerial bombs from the northeast to the northwest. Chen Hanzhang's decision to replace the force with firepower is probably not so light.

The boss just made a preliminary calculation, not counting the ammunition consumed on the battlefield of Xinguangwu. In just half an hour from the direction of the old Guangwu City, at least more than 5,000 shells were fired, not counting aerial bombs and special incendiary bombs. Under such a great pressure and such a heavy logistical burden, Chen Hanzhang invested so much money in order to achieve the results he wanted in the shortest possible time.

As long as the 21st Division is defeated first, the entire game of chess on the battlefield in northern Jin will be completely alive. But now Chen Hanzhang lacks a sufficient number of infantry, and there is still a lot of time. Not to mention that the 32nd Division in the direction of Ruyuekou may advance westward for reinforcements at any time, even the 15th Division may appear on the battlefield at any time.

The boss understood why Chen Hanzhang decided to fight the 21st Division, and his real intention was to draw the attention of the 15th Division. Attracted from the northwest of Jin to himself in order to reduce the pressure that the Jinsui Military Region might be under. As long as the goal of the 15th Division was the battlefield in northern Jin, he could mobilize Mu Changqiu's two regiments.

With these two regiments participating in the battle, Chen Hanzhang was not worried about how much impact the 15th Division would have on the battlefield in northern Shanxi. At this point, the boss saw quite confidence on Chen Hanzhang's face. But this is a premise, that is, before the arrival of the 15th Division, one of the two divisions in the northern Jin battlefield must be resolved.

Otherwise, once the 15th Division pounced before the 21st Division was defeated, then I am afraid that Chen Hanzhang would not only be able to solve the pressure. Because even if Mu Changqiu's two regiments went north to participate in the war, they could only entangle the 15th Division. The battlefield in northern Jin was still in a situation of insufficient mobile troops. Although the boss doesn't quite believe that at this juncture, Okamura Ningji will also transfer the 15th Division, which has been sweeping the Taihang District at this moment, to the north. But the boss is well aware that anything can happen on the battlefield. Under the current situation, the 15th Division may not be transferred north. Even if there is only a one-in-10,000 chance that this 15th Division will be transferred north, all units in northern Shanxi must be prepared to participate in the war.

Time, now for Chen Hanzhang, is the most precious thing. How to solve this most troublesome thing in the shortest possible time can be said to be the key factor that determines this battle for Chen Hanzhang. But the boss hopes that Chen Hanzhang, a young general, must be able to calm down at this time.

Although progress has been frustrated at the moment, tactical deployment cannot be implemented. But as long as you think about it carefully, there will still be a way. With roughly equal actual forces, mountain rout is a problem in itself. Especially in the face of an army like the Japanese army, which will not retreat, it is a difficult problem to solve. This kind of thing can't be solved in a hurry.

After hesitating for a moment, the boss clicked on the map and said: "Comrade Chen Hanzhang, I think that most of the anti-tank fire points deployed by the Japanese army around Xinguangwu have been destroyed by our army. Let's see if you are concentrating a part of the tanks and assaulting from the old Guangwu line in the direction of Yanmen Pass. ”

"We don't necessarily want to recapture Yanmen Pass at this time, because even if we capture it now, it will be basically difficult to hold it. My idea is to use tanks to cut into the heart of the Japanese army, and put on a posture that we want to directly bypass the front line of Xinguangwu and seize Yanmen Pass, so that the Japanese army cannot continue to reinforce Xinguangwu with all its might. ”

"At the same time, concentrate the existing cavalry and part of the armored forces to attack the 62nd and 83rd Infantry Wings in the north besieging the Zhangzhuang and Mayi areas. And I think that the artillery that we used in the old Guangwu can also be completely withdrawn. ”

"Especially that kind of rocket artillery, a dozen and a lot. In my opinion, this weapon is not very suitable for mountain combat, but is very suitable for the terrain of Zhangzhuang and Mayi areas. Turn these rocket artillery over and increase the firepower on the Northern Front. As for the war on this side, I think that with the current body of artillery, it is completely enough to use. ”

"I also know that the current war is urgent, and how to defeat this 21st Division in a short period of time is the key factor in reversing our current passive situation. But we can't be in a hurry without thinking about tactics. Since you can't eat a fat man in one go, then take two sides of the pressure and concentrate your firepower to knock him out one brigade at a time. ”

"It doesn't necessarily have to be killed all at once, as long as you cripple them so that they can't make any more noise in the next battle, I think it's completely okay. Two infantry wings, knock out two-thirds of his troops, I think it's completely okay. Although the style of the Japanese army is fierce and tenacious, it is not ironclad. In the face of shells, it is also impossible to resist. ”

Speaking of this, the boss smiled and said: "In my early years, in order to seek to save the truth, I once went to study in the West, and I remember that the first stop was Germany. Although I didn't stay in Germany for long because of my revolutionary work, I moved from Germany to the Soviet Union, but I still remember some of the German. ”

"These new anti-tank guns of the Japanese army, I can see from the inscriptions on the trophies you have captured, these guns are all German. It should be the new anti-tank artillery imported by the Japanese army from Germany before this battle. They are all serious German-style weapons, and there are absolutely no imitations in them. ”

Chen Hanzhang heard the boss's construction and judgment, and after glancing at the situation map of the enemy and us on the battlefield, he pondered for a moment, picked up the phone to call Xiong Botao, who was commanding on the front line, and began to adjust the deployment according to the boss's ideas. However, Chen Hanzhang did not fully implement the CEO's ideas, but made some adjustments to the CEO's plan.

He did not transfer troops to detour between Xinguangwu and Yanmen Pass, first, he had already used his troops to the extreme, and now he could not draw many infantry to carry out this roundabout plan. If there is more, it will not be able to be mobilized, and if there is less, it will not play the role of a threat, but it will disperse its own small forces.

And without infantry cover, this kind of roundabout operation in the mountains, even if it is a roundabout operation in the mountains that have already been controlled, is not a wise choice for the armored troops. Even without anti-tank guns, with the madness of the Japanese army, flesh-and-bullet attacks were often more threatening than anti-tank guns.

At the same time, the distance from Xinguangwu to Yanmen Pass was only three kilometers in a straight line, and even if the roundabout troops penetrated to Yanmen Pass, they would have to suffer from firepower from both sides. It was not a very cost-effective decision to transfer troops directly back to Yanmen Pass than to establish an artillery blockade area and cut off the Japanese reinforcement route with firepower.

And now to seize the Yanmen Pass, that is, there is no such need, and there is no such need. The old Guangwu has now been taken, and the Japanese army in Yanmen Pass has not sent a large number of troops to fight for this western barrier, indicating that their forces on the front line of Yanmen Pass are probably not much left after this period of attrition in New Guangwu, and their strength is also weakening rapidly.

This 21st Division is not in the Northeast Battlefield, has dealt with itself for many years, and has become the Kwantung Army of old fritters. Instead, adhering to the successive victories in Southeast Asia, he came to the battlefield in northern Jin with arrogance. As soon as the battle began, Chen Hanzhang felt that although the 21st Division was very cautious in its actions, the whole division generally had a sense of arrogance.

If you are on the battlefield in the northeast, you will be like this. The Kwantung Army, which had been fighting with the Anti-Japanese Federation for many years, would immediately shrink its forces and focus its defense on depth, and might even withdraw directly to Yanmen Pass. At the same time, the troops of Zhangzhuang and Mayi will all withdraw to the front line of Yanmen Pass by taking advantage of the situation that the Anti-Japanese Union has not yet had time to encircle, and the whole division will be transferred to defensive operations.

It will definitely not put so much effort into the battle for the new Guangwu and put so many troops into it in one go. After careful analysis, Chen Hanzhang believed that since the 21 st Division was full of arrogance, with the Japanese army's consistent tactical habits, they would absolutely not let the old Guangwu fall into the anti-Japanese alliance at this time.

Even the old Guangwu has become a ruin. But as long as the troops allow, they will definitely not give up this new Guangwu barrier. However, after the end of the old Guangwu War, the Japanese army did not send troops to counterattack for a long time. In addition to the fact that the strategic position of the new Guangwu is more important and requires continuous reinforcements, I am afraid that the strength is close to depleting the embers, and it is no longer able to mobilize troops to recover the old Guangwu.

Chen Hanzhang didn't believe that with the fierceness of his firepower and the intensity of the attack, his 21st Division would not suffer much loss in the troops at Yanmen Pass? He occupies an absolute advantage in firepower, blocking the highway between Xinguangwu and Yanmen Pass with both ground and air firepower.

Not counting the casualties in the battle for Xinguangwu, every time the Japanese army reinforced Xinguangwu from Yanmen Pass, it had to leave a large number of corpses. Under this kind of casualty figures, whether it is group firepower or individual firepower, they have the upper hand, their blood is about to run out, they can't have a wing in Yanmen Pass, plus a part of the strength of engineers and baggage soldiers, how long can the remaining strength last?
