In Yi Jianping's opinion, if he attacked in advance, he would certainly be able to seize the Seventh Division. However, it is possible that it really startled the snake and alarmed the two Japanese divisions in front. Compared with the single Seventh Division, the two Japanese divisions on the front can be regarded as a real big fish. With Wang Guangyu's ability, he can't see this, he just cares about it now.

The position of the Alu Korqin Banner Battlefield, which undertakes the flank cover of the entire Linxi Battlefield, is indeed quite important. It can be said that it not only plays the role of covering the flank of the entire Linxi battlefield, but also bears the heavy responsibility of the Linxi battlefield and the Tongliao battlefield that is close at hand.

In fact, the Alukorqin Banner played a role in connecting the upper and lower battlefields throughout the Western Manchurian battlefield. Its role in the entire Western Manchurian war even surpassed that of the advance in Rehe. If the advance army is to secure the southern front, and to curb the possible reinforcement attempts of the Japanese army in Guannai, and to contain the Mongolian garrison troops. Then the battlefield of the Alukorqin Banner is the role of the hub connecting the two strategic groups of West Manchuria.

But the important thing is important, and the gains and losses of the Alu Korqin Banner battlefield will indeed cause some trouble to the entire Linxi battlefield and even the Ximan battlefield. But it is far from reaching the point where it can determine the direction of the entire Linxi battlefield. In Yi Jianping's view, as long as Linxi and Bahrain Zuoqi are not lost, even in the territory of Alu Korqin Banner, the inability to complete the scheduled task will not have a fatal impact.

Because if the Japanese army could not make a breakthrough in the two directions of Tongliao and Linxi, the seventh division would become a turtle in the urn of the lone army. The reason why the headquarters chose to take this Seventh Division first was actually very simple, that is, to play single first, and then double. At the same time, taking advantage of the relatively prominent position of the Seventh Division, it adopted the method of destroying the enemy and counterattacking one by one.

Whether it is from the consideration of the headquarters or from the current situation, at least for now, it seems that even if it is impossible to completely annihilate the Seventh Division. However, it is not beneficial to be able to firmly contain it in the territory of the Alukorqin Banner. Taking the initiative does not mean that as soon as the meal is served, you will be in a hurry, regardless of whether the meal is hot or cold. In that way, it is easier to burn yourself.

With a table full of dishes, it's not a bad thing to pick the bottom of the mouth first. As long as the 7th Division does not cross the Kundu line to the north and does not break through the Balaqirude line to the west, it will not have much impact on the battle situation. The only trouble is that the column has a small reserve in its hands, and a considerable part will be pinned down in this direction.

And in Yi Jianping's heart, he thinks that the reason why Wang Guangyu is in a hurry to launch a counterattack may have something to do with Wang Deyao. Wang Deyao was designated by Wang Guangyu to come from Du Kaishan before the start of this all-out counterattack by the Japanese army. Now, it is precisely the unauthorized action of this person who Wang Guangyu has high hopes that has caused the current predicament.

This point is undoubtedly a considerable blow to Wang Guangyu. Wang Guangyu was anxious to launch a counterattack in advance, and in addition to the previous worries about whether the Seventh Division would have an impact on the next battle situation, he was probably not in a hurry to make up for his original decision-making mistakes and improper use of personnel.

Therefore, Yi Jianping always believes that whether to launch an attack in advance or not is not the key to all the problems at hand. The key thing is that Wang Guangyu's determination must be made in a calm manner. Calming down is what Wang Guangyu, the supreme military chief, should do at present.

Responding to all changes with the same and changing the enemy and changing with me is not necessarily a bad thing. With absolute ground-to-air firepower superiority and maneuver superiority in hand, the rear control may not be controlled by others. Now Wang Guangyu should analyze and judge from the whole, rather than focusing only on one war zone in the Alukorqin Banner.

At present, the Japanese army has not done its best, and the attack distance between the various divisions and regiments participating in the battle is far from being widened. Now it's about who is more patient and who is more calm. Making too hasty decisions can only expose the opponent to more gaps that can be exploited, and it is easier to put yourself in a real passivity.

It was precisely in consideration of the ideas and intentions of the headquarters, as well as the possible chain reaction of launching a counterattack in advance, that Yi Jianping asked Wang Guangyu to ask the headquarters for instructions. No matter what the real intentions of the headquarters are, in Yi Jianping's view, it is Wang Guangyu who should do the most to consider how to fight the battle in front of him.

Although he is not a military commander, Yi Jianping's vision is still very accurate. Compared with Sun Wenjiu, who is currently a little anxious as the chief of staff, he is more calm. Therefore, he did not agree with Wang Guangyu's somewhat hasty decision.

Especially in the current situation of the Alu Korqin Banner, how far has it deteriorated, and the column has not yet been fully grasped here, he is even more opposed to rash attacks. Speaking of the battle situation over there, Yi Jianping was very dissatisfied with Yang Jicai's report, and Yang Jicai did not make it clear in many places, and even mentioned it in one stroke.

In particular, how big are the casualties of the 2nd Regiment at present, and how much combat effectiveness is left? After Wang Deyao's sacrifice, how much does he Yang Jicai know about the current situation of the Second Regiment? If the regiment is already in a difficult situation at the moment, then what is his way of dealing with it and what is the way to do it?

At present, the second regiment on the front line with Balachrude, which is completely separated by a battlefield, how can it be safely withdrawn. The heavy artillery increased their firepower, and could not safely withdraw it. There is not a detailed report on these situations in Yang Jicai's telegram.

After Wang Deyao's death, regardless of whether the column gave an order or not, he Yang Jicai is now the highest military commander in the territory of the Alukorqin Banner. It is quite important for him to make up his mind to his superiors. What Wang Guangyu needs is a detailed briefing on the enemy situation, not this kind of vague report.

The most important thing is how many troops the 7th Division has invested on the front line of Balachrude, and what is the battle situation? And how long will they be able to hold out, and what about the casualties of the blocking troops? This is the most important reference for his superiors now, but he didn't mention it.

Although compared with Wang Guangyu, who used to be Yang Jicai's old superior, Yi Jianping and Yang Jicai are not very familiar. But Wang Guangyu, who can make people light and not praise, praises him well, and Yi Jianping thinks that this person is definitely not the kind of guy who can only talk on paper. Wang Guangyu looks at people's eyes, and he Yi Jianping still believes it.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed with Wang Guangyu at the beginning and transferred Wang Deyao, then deputy commander of the Second Division, to serve as the military commander of the front line of the Alukorqin Banner. And some time ago, the battle on the front line of Huanggang Liangzi, even he Yi Jianping couldn't help but applaud, which can be described as impressive.

This guy is a staff officer, and his current position is also chief of staff. He should understand what he needs to report to his superiors most at this moment, so that he can make the best decision on the war in the Alu Korqin Banner. But this guy didn't report the most critical issue, what did he think?

After thinking about it, Yi Jianping raised his head and looked at Wang Guangyu and said, "Lao Wang, you are the supreme military commander, what determination do you make, I respect your full strength and decision." However, the stakes are too great to counterattack in advance, and it is not just a problem on the battlefield of the Alukorqin Banner that is affected. Even including Chen Hanzhang's side, that is to say, it is more related to the entire West Manchurian war situation. ”

"I'll suggest that you think about it carefully, or ask the headquarters to see what opinions No. 1 and No. 3 have. After all, this is a key to whether or not the headquarters can achieve its operational objectives this time. Our focus is on our surroundings, while the focus of headquarters is on the whole picture. ”

"If you really make up your mind to launch a counterattack in advance, judging by the possible aftermath of this counterattack, I think this will be the beginning of the entire West Manchurian decisive battle. So for the sake of prudence, I think it's better to ask the headquarters. There is still time for us to make up our minds, and even if we make up our minds, there will be enough time for us to ask for instructions. ”

"I went to Balakirud and got a feel for what was going on. At the same time, he also asked Yang Jicai for his thoughts on the current battle situation, after all, he knew the battle situation there best. In this way, when you make up your mind, you will be more stable and more comprehensive. ”

"Lao Wang, I am not absolutely opposed to your counterattack in advance. But I hope that when you make up your mind, you must calm down. The West Manchurian war is the top priority of this battle, and the situation of our battle here is directly related to the success or failure of the West Manchurian war. ”

"Compared with the combat units that the Kwantung Army put into the front line, we only barely have a slight advantage in the comparison of troops. Even in some aspects, it occupies some disadvantages, such as the first line of the Alu Korqin Banner. And this slight advantage means that under the cover of absolute superiority in firepower, we have made maximum use of the deployment of troops. ”

"So, we have to be careful in every decision. If we make a mistake in one decision, we simply don't have enough troops to make up for the loss of time and troops caused by our wrong decision. If there is a situation of breaking the muscles and bones, then our entire Western Manchurian war situation is in danger of total defeat. ”

After that, Yi Jianping handed Yang Jicai's telegram to Wang Guangyu and said, "Old Wang, calm down and look at this telegram again, don't you feel this meaning?" He Yang Jicai is a combat staff officer, if the situation really reaches the point of being out of control, he will not be so vague. I feel like this guy isn't completely honest with us. ”

"This telegram, at least in my opinion, can only be described in four words, vaguely. So I wanted to go and see what he really thought. By the way, I will also have a good touch of the real situation on their side. At least we have to find out what Yang Jicai's real thoughts are? ”

"Especially the second regiment, what kind of situation is it in at the moment, especially whether they still have combat effectiveness. If the main force of the Second Regiment can be safely transferred back, no matter what your final decision is, it will be a great help to the battle situation in the Alu Korqin Banner. With one more infantry regiment in your hands, you wouldn't be where you are now. ”

Hearing Yi Jianping's construction, Wang Guangyu remembered that this telegram was not consistent with Yang Jicai's usual style at all. To say vague is somewhat excessive. But this situation report, as Yi Jianping said, is indeed a little unclear.

After thinking about it, Wang Guangyu nodded at Yi Jianping's construction: "Okay, I will report our current situation and determination to the headquarters to see what the intentions of the headquarters are?" As for the Balakirude line, your brother will personally go on a trip to see what this guy thinks in his heart. ”

Wang Guangyu agreed with his opinion, and Yi Jianping was not too surprised. He knows very well that with Wang Guangyu's ability, as long as his mind calms down completely and he doesn't get his nose restrained, he won't think of what he said. And this situation is exactly what Yi Jianping wants.
