Yang Zhen still knows Du Kaishan's character very well. This guy was partially run away by the 22nd Division and felt a loss of face. Especially in the face of Chen Hanzhang's record of annihilating all five wings of the Japanese army on the Western Front, none of which escaped the net, he lost face. I am afraid that I will be very angry in my heart, and I will send all my anger to the heads of the Japanese puppet army in southern Hebei.

In fact, Yang Zhen knew very well in his heart where his real anger came from. Of course, there are quite a few reasons for what I said on my face. Du Kaishan's lack of attention to the Japanese army in Texas also accounted for most of the reasons. But these reasons are not the whole reason for such anger.

The most important thing is that this Du Kaishan is so uncalm, for the sake of his so-called face problem, in order to vent the anger in his heart, he left the Japanese army cluster in front of him alone, and ran to the bowl of the brother troops to grab a little bit of meat. Yang Zhen, who knows Du Kaishan's character too well, knows very well that if he hadn't been slipped away by the 22nd Division. The remnants of the Japanese army in southern Hebei, it is strange that he can see Du Kaishan.

For the love generals he has cultivated, what kind of ability does Yang Zhen not know? I am afraid that Du Kaishan just thinks that although the Japanese army in Texas now has a large number of troops, it is no longer able to counterattack outside under the situation of huge casualties in the long-term battle. Their own troops are all mechanized, and they can move quickly and fight quickly.

The superiors did not give an order to enter Shandong to fight, and they could only find those small fish and shrimp in southern Hebei to vent their anger. As long as you move fast enough, there should be no accidents. But many problems outside the battlefield were either ignored by him, or he didn't think about it at all.

People like Du Kaishan were priceless during the war years. can fight, fight, and take on great responsibilities when it is critical. Every superior likes it, but in peacetime it's hard to say. This character of his, Yang Zhen shook his head when he thought about it. I've ordered him many times, but this guy just doesn't change his ways.

Yang Zhen didn't know whether his eloquence was too poor, his persuasion work was not good, or this guy was born with this tendon. Or once a person's innate character is cultivated, it is difficult to change it the day after tomorrow. He Du Kaishan has been mixed in the Sichuan army for so many years, and his ability is quite good, but he has never been promoted, I am afraid it is still related to his character.

Originally, Yang Zhen thought that after he met his wife, who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, his temper and temperament would change a little. Where did I think that it was still the stone in the pit, it was still so stinky and hard. Although it is better on the surface and there has been some progress, the arrogance in this bone has not decreased by half a point. This kind of personality of his is not a good thing in peacetime. It's just that there are some things that I can't say explicitly.

Although Yang Zhen seemed a little silent after saying his thoughts. As for Yang Zhen's analysis, especially the idea of preparing to deal with the thaw in Bohai Bay, to prevent the Japanese army from landing in Bohai Bay, and to open the passage from the flank of the entire Hebei battlefield, as the boss of the military family, he still agrees with it.

Regardless of whether the Japanese army has this idea or not, as long as the Japanese Navy is still alive, whether it wants to be willing or not, this preparation must be made. Otherwise, once the Japanese navy lands from the Bohai Bay and penetrates directly into the flank of the entire Hebei battlefield, then the entire battle situation will be in danger of turning the tables at any time.

As for the loss of equipment and the number of casualties from the launch of the campaign to the present, it is needless for Yang Zhen to say that the boss is also clear. According to his request, he had a summary of the daily casualty figures of each division of the Anti-Japanese Union. By now, the entire casualty has accumulated to a huge number that makes almost everyone frightened.

Even if Yang Zhen didn't say it, the boss knew very well that the attack line could no longer continue to extend south. Being able to fight to the current situation, the anti-Japanese alliance that has gone south has done its best, and it really has no ability to continue to go south. In the face of the more than 200,000 troops invested by the Japanese army in the entire North China battlefield, plus a larger number of puppet troops, it is really not easy to fight into the current situation.

The Japanese are not scarecrows, standing there waiting for you to take a bayonet to assassinate them. Whether it is bone or meat, it needs to be gnawed in one bite. The cruelty of this battle is rare for the boss to be in the army for decades. With such a large army fighting each other, hundreds of thousands of troops fighting each other, the price paid can be imagined.

Long before Du Kaishan turned around and attacked Cangzhou, the boss had already made up his mind to suspend the offensive. The new reinforcements of the Japanese army have not yet arrived, the original forces have been completely divided or annihilated, and there has been a rare temporary calm in the entire battlefield, so as to gain a period of time for the Anti-Japanese Union to repair.

This time, a few days after returning to Beiping, the boss returned to Hejian, in addition to reorganizing the Jizhong Military Region, the main thing was to talk to Yang Zhen about the next step of the operation. The boss thinks it's time for the troops to stop and catch their breath. Even if the spirit of continuous combat is displayed, it is not fought like this. If the loss of vitality of the troops is too great, it will be difficult to recover.

Before returning to the front point, the boss had already sent a telegram to the central government, suggesting that the entire Hebei battlefield, except for the local battlefield in Tianjin, stop attacking and turn to defense. Before the Japanese army launched a full-scale counterattack, it was necessary to squeeze out a period of time to repair and repair the troops entering the customs of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, so as to restore the vitality of some wounds.

At the same time, in the Shanxi battlefield, without changing the existing tactics of encroachment, encirclement, and division, we will continue to maintain a certain offensive and squeeze the space for the activities of the First Army little by little. If it cannot be completely solved for a while, the units under the First Army of the Japanese Army will be temporarily trapped.

In the Shandong battlefield, the current movement tactics were maintained. Increase the uprooting of Japanese strongholds and expand the area of control, distract the attention of the Japanese army as much as possible, and contain and distract the attention of the Japanese reinforcements. Although it is impossible to fight a large-scale war of annihilation for a while, it is necessary to hold back the Japanese army in Shandong as much as possible.

Although the central government has not yet called back, the boss believes that the chairman will carefully consider his proposal. Even if Yang Zhen doesn't stop attacking, the boss will put forward a suggestion to stop continuing the attack and shrink his forces to go on defense. This allows the troops to get a certain amount of respite to avoid losing their vitality due to continuous combat.

After sending this telegram, the boss also studied with the boss of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and tried to do so in the shortest possible time. From the central and southern Hebei regions, 20,000 to 30,000 recruits were given to the anti-Japanese alliance. He also sent a telegram to the heads of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region and the Shanxi-Sui Military Region, hoping that the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region would give no less than 10,000 new soldiers to the newly liberated areas of the Shanxi battlefield.

The reorganized Jizhong Military Region was ordered to dispatch its most effective political workers to Cangzhou immediately. The recruits of the two regiments originally mobilized by the Anti-Japanese Federation in Cangzhou were mobilized because Cangzhou was in ruins, and the recruits who collectively became deserters before the start of the campaign returned as much as possible.

At the same time, effective personnel were dispatched to assist in the reconstruction of Cangzhou and to resettle the people who were accidentally injured by stray bullets. Regardless of the reason for the casualties in the battle, the people should be compensated in terms of food and other aspects, so as to ensure that the people's hearts are appeased in the shortest possible time. The treatment that should be given should be given, and don't pick and search in this regard.

And raise food and materials, do their best to ensure the supply of the anti-United Nations troops to the south, and reduce the pressure on the supply lines of the anti-United Nations. The campaign was launched at a time when the autumn harvest had ended. As the granary of North China, the Jizhong Plain, although the grain output of the entire four or three years is affected by the climate. However, the overall output is still at a fairly high level.

In addition, this campaign was launched at the end of the autumn harvest and before the Japanese army had time to collect grain on a large scale. Most of the grain harvested in the entire four or three years is still in the hands of the peasants. Although there is no detailed information at the moment, judging from the current grain production and reserve quantity in the central Hebei region, there should be no problem in ensuring the supply of the southbound troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

The only headache is that the local governments at all levels are still being re-established. The hearts of the people in the entire central Hebei region have not yet recovered from the serious trauma brought about by the Japanese army's sweep the year before last. Especially in the core area of central Hebei, where the Japanese army swept the most vigorously and suffered the heaviest losses.

In the 41-year sweep, the Jizhong District, which was the top priority of the Japanese army's sweep, suffered losses far more than those of other base areas. Under the brutal massacre methods of the Japanese army, the common people here were still quite worried about cooperating with the troops, and their enthusiasm for rebuilding local power was also quite low.

The common people were scared of being killed by the Japanese army, and they were also chilled. Even the armored clusters of the Anti-Union, which rumbled south at their own doorstep, showed strong combat effectiveness. But the cold look in the eyes of the common people has not changed much. Because they don't know if their own army, which has returned to Jizhong this time, can guarantee that the battle will not be lost again, and they will not be left to the brutal Japanese army again.

Until the Anti-Japanese Union regained Baoding on the Western Front and captured Shimen. After recovering both sides of the Hutuo River to the south, the situation improved to a certain extent, but it was still far from a fundamental change. For this fierce battle that took place at the doorstep, the indifference shown by the people of Jizhong before made almost all the cadres who returned to work in Jizhong extremely surprised.

Although the people's mood has changed to a certain extent, the reconstruction of the local government and armed forces, which were almost completely destroyed during the 41 year sweep, is still not as smooth as imagined. Compared with the rich and stable Jizhong base area before the Japanese army's sweep in 41 years, it is already the feeling of ice and fire.

The pace of rebuilding local government has not been satisfactory, and it is far from what was originally anticipated. The pace of re-establishment of local armed forces in various localities has been unusually slow. With the exception of some areas, the mobilization work in most areas is far less than envisaged. In particular, in the core areas of the former Jizhong base area, the mobilization work is even more difficult.

At present, ensuring the supply of the troops of the Anti-Japanese Union to the south has almost become the primary task of the Jizhong Military Region and the local government that are being rebuilt. The slow progress of all work will undoubtedly affect the combat of the anti-coalition forces. If the troops can't eat enough, how can this combat effectiveness be guaranteed?

Whether or not the supply of materials for the Anti-Japanese Federation can be guaranteed is related to the victory or defeat on the battlefield. The boss is not very relieved that he does not run in person. Not only did he come, but he also dragged the commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, who was busy receiving Beiping. He personally grasped the re-establishment of local political power and the formation of military regions, and most importantly, ensured the supply of the troops going south of the Anti-Japanese Union.

And take advantage of the population advantage in Jizhong to provide a group of supplementary soldiers to the Anti-Japanese Federation as much as possible. Although there is a bit of time in time, even if these recruits can be replenished in sufficient numbers, they will not be able to enter the battlefield in a short time. But in any case, it will still be of great benefit to the recovery of the anti-United Nations forces.

Of course, the boss returned to Jizhong so soon, and one of the most important things was to personally investigate the real situation of the anti-coalition forces. In order to provide first-hand information for central decision-making. It's not that the boss doesn't believe the casualty figures reported by Yang Zhen, but there are some things that can't be seen by a simple casualty figure.
