At the same time as giving the anti-Japanese troops to the south, the order to attack on the whole line was issued. Through the General Front Committee, Yang Zhen issued orders to the troops of the Taiyue, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Military Regions, and the Jinsui Military Region, strictly ordering them to immediately launch a general attack on the entire line of the First Army in Shanxi. It is necessary not to let the First Army appear on the battlefield in Hebei.

After the First Army received Okamura Ningji's order, it began to carry out the intelligence of the contraction, where will Yang Zhen miss? The Japanese army held on to the key points and fortified cities, and it was very likely that they would kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of their own losses in this battle. However, if a large-scale siege is adopted during the shrinkage of the Japanese army, the cost will be much smaller.

When the battle plan was still being formulated, Yang Zhen was most worried that after the Hebei battlefield was started on all fronts, the first army would go all out to reinforce the east in order to ensure its supply channels. Therefore, the first army of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi was the key target in this campaign.

Although the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi was the army that the Japanese army faced the most opponents of all the army-level formations in China, except for the 11th Army. But whether it was the First Theater south of the Yellow River, the Second Theater in the southwest of Shanxi, or the Eighth Theater west of the Yellow River, Yang Zhen did not dare to expect them to take the initiative to participate in the war. The First Army still needs to carry the heavy burden on its own.

Ensure that the war on the battlefield in Hebei will not be interfered with by the Japanese army in Shanxi. At the same time, it was necessary to reduce the first army to the ground as much as possible, in order to relieve the pressure of the second half of the campaign in the face of the period of large-scale reinforcements of the Japanese army. This was the top priority for Yang Zhen to consider before the Battle of Changde was all over and the Japanese army in Central China could completely withdraw from it.

Therefore, after the general attack was launched in an all-round way, Yang Zhen immediately issued an all-out attack to all the troops participating in the Shanxi battlefield, and used the tactics of combining mobile warfare with tough battles to weaken the strength of the First Army as much as possible. Reduce the pressure on the Hebei battlefield now and in the near future.

While giving orders to the Shanxi battlefield, Yang Zhen ordered the main forces of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region to cooperate with the main forces of the Shandong Military Region to carry out close monitoring along the Jinpu Road. and to block the Japanese army in Henan, so that it could not be reinforced to the north. Yang Zhen's slogan is very clear, and then fight a new battle of 100 regiments.

Of course, taking into account the feelings of the commanders of the fraternal units in Guannai, the orders given to the fraternal units in Guannai other than the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were all issued through the boss. There are some things, although there are not so many things to say now, but Yang Zhen himself still pays attention to them.

His orders to the fraternal troops were basically given through the General Front Committee, not through himself. Yang Zhen didn't want to add any trouble to himself, let alone his old subordinates, in the not very distant future. And the boss who personally supervised the formation was also very supportive of Yang Zhen's idea.

In accordance with his successive orders, all the major strategic zones were dispatched according to their respective objectives. The Pinghan, Zhengtai, and Tongpu railway lines were almost fully dispatched on the battlefield in North China. Whether it is the brother troops in Guannai or the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance in the south, all the troops participating in the battle have taken the initiative to attack. In the entire battlefield in North China, with his orders, it was almost a pot of porridge.

The troops remaining in the northeast were ordered to immediately launch a full-line attack on the two flanks of Siping Street, as well as the Kwantung Army on the front line from Xifeng and Dongfeng in the east to Zhangwu, Fuxin, and Jianchang in the west in accordance with the established plan. It is necessary to ensure that the Kwantung Army cannot reinforce the Kannai battlefield in this battle.

The bomber group of the anti-union air force was ordered to carry out a full-scale air raid on the railway and road systems in North Korea. Especially the several bridges on the Yalu River, Yang Zhen gave a death order to destroy them at all costs. At the same time, he demanded that the anti-United Nations aviation force destroy the port of Arthur.

At the same time as mobilizing the air force to participate in the war, Yang Zhen ordered Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun, and Wang Guangyu, who were in charge of commanding the battlefield outside the Guanwai, to immediately mobilize the main force of the Korean Independence Army and enter the northern part of Korea to fight. With the north of Pyongyang as the main area of operation, the Korean army launched a mountain movement operation against the Japanese Korean army. Contain the Japanese army from the so-called inland Korea and mobilize reinforcements to reinforce the Kwantung Army.

After receiving Yang Zhen's order, the anti-coalition troops on the northeast battlefield, under the command of Wang Guangyu, who was in charge of Gongzhuling, took two armored brigades and six independent tank regiments as the lead, and concentrated 21 divisions under the cover of overwhelming artillery fire to launch an all-out offensive against the Kwantung Army.

According to Yang Zhen's request, the offensive launched in the northeast this time is to play an auxiliary role. The real intention is not to conquer the city. In addition to weakening the living force of the Japanese army to a certain extent, it was to entangle the Japanese Kwantung Army to the death. and distract the Japanese base camp in order to reduce the pressure on the battlefield in North China.

Therefore, when Wang Guangyu attacked, the posture was quite sufficient, and when he came up, he formed a overwhelming trend. In the first wave of the attack, nearly 1,000 tanks were put in, and all the bomber groups cooperated in the attack. But on the real scale, according to Yang Zhen's requirements, he mastered it very well.

On the surface, the offensive appeared to be wide open and close, but in reality it was steady. It did not adopt the large-depth offensive that was customary in the original anti-coalition operations. Moreover, it adopted a shallow and deep roundabout, interspersed, divided, and multi-way assault, so as to peel the skin layer by layer for the Japanese troops on the front line.

As for the Kwantung Army, maybe it was really scared. Although after the start of the North China Campaign, Okamura Ninji more than once asked the Kwantung Army to launch an offensive in order to relieve the pressure on the North China Front. But no matter what Okamura Ninji asked, General Umezu Mijiro just acted as if he hadn't heard. Putting up a turtle formation in the four flat lines is not going to get ahead.

When the Anti-Japanese Federation took the lead in attacking the operation, the Kwantung Army still put on a stubborn posture. In addition to tactical counterattacks, they basically stick to their existing positions and easily do not take the initiative to attack. At the same time, on the front line of Fengtian behind him, a large number of troops were also placed. And in Dongman, a large number of permanent fortifications were also built.

For Umezu Yoshijiro, the Kwantung Army's mission had now shifted from recovering all of Manchuria and restoring the inherent territory of the Manchurian Empire to holding on to the industrial areas of South Manchuria. In Umezu Mijiro's view, any move that endangers the South Manchurian industrial zone will not be tolerated. The North China Front has the support of the Chinese dispatch army behind it, and the waist pole is so strong, it is better to find a way to solve it yourself.

Compared with the Northeast Battlefield, under the command of Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and Wang Guangyu, there was a certain offensive that fueled the momentum. The people who received the order on the Guannai battlefield, whether it was Chen Hanzhang on the Western Front or Du Kaishan on the Eastern Front, did not hesitate at all. For them, an order is a command, and as long as the sky does not fall, it must be carried out.

The two fierce generals under Yang Zhen commanded the armored cavalry motorized troops assigned to him, and rushed out of the hidden waiting places in the mountains of Yanshan and Jundu from Pingbei and Pingxi respectively with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas. Ignoring the various positions along the road to the fierce battles along the way, they forcibly interspersed towards their predetermined goals.

In particular, the interspersed route of the western cluster is almost outside the western city wall of Beiping. Standing on the western city wall, the Japanese army could clearly see a large number of tanks and armored cavalry clusters of the Anti-Japanese Union moving south. The interspersed operations on the Western Front were almost tantamount to telling the Japanese army of their strategic intentions with great fanfare.

But Yang Zhen has this confidence, so that even if Okamura Ningji knows what his strategic intentions are, he just can't find a way and confidence to resist. Chen Hanzhang, who commanded the detour of the western front, ignored the firepower of the Japanese troops inside and outside Beiping City, took the 1st Armored Division under his command as the forerunner, and quickly interspersed along the western city wall of Beiping City to the south of Beiping City.

The troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region plus the first section of the Anti-Japanese Federation were stubbornly entangled in the front line of Mentougou, and they could not get rid of the 110th Division of the other Gu, as well as Okamura Ningci, who was sitting in Beiping City, were shocked by the hand of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and even a little overwhelmed.

Compared to Okamura Ningji, who finally understood the real killer of the Anti-Japanese Federation. The commander of the 110th Division and the second lieutenant general of Zhiying, who had already commanded the main force of his own division, were fully deployed on the front line of Fangshan. After learning that a large number of anti-United Nations armored troops had appeared behind him, his first thought at that time was to be completely finished.

Such a large force of enemy troops came from behind their backs. I am afraid that I will be surrounded and repeat the mistakes of my predecessor in Suidong. With such a large number of armored troops suddenly killed behind him, Lieutenant General Zhiying knew very well that his 110th Division could not be an opponent at all.

It's not to blame that he was frightened by Lieutenant General Zhiying No. 2, before he figured out Chen Hanzhang's strategic intentions, he changed who appeared behind such a large number of tank clusters, and it was strange that he was not taken aback. In particular, his 110th Division, which has now completed its deployment, is engaged in a fierce battle with the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region in the mountainous area west of Fangshan.

This division commander, who was born as a spy, was not good at military command at all. Although since the 918 incident, the Japanese have been fighting with the Chinese on the battlefield for more than ten years. However, for most of the previous period, this second lieutenant general of He Zhiying had been engaged in spies against China, and the work of dividing and disintegrating Chongqing was not much, and he did not have much actual combat experience.

Originally, he was going to be transferred to the Southern Army as deputy chief of staff, but I don't know what this guy has left. Under the circumstance that the transfer order had been issued, he was suddenly transferred to the Chinese battlefield to take over the reorganized 110th Division and serve as the commander of the 110th Division.

The actual combat experience is very poor, except for a short time as the captain of the 44th Wing of the 11th Division and participated in the Battle of Songhu, he has almost zero actual combat experience. was frightened by the large number of anti-United Nations armored clusters that appeared behind him, and it was not surprising that he was a little breathless.

When he noticed that a large number of enemy tank clusters appeared behind him, he wanted to mobilize his forces to protect his back. However, he was annoyed to find that except for some of the baggage troops, most of the rest of the troops of his division had been killed by the opponents who had been killed in person, and they were entangled in the reckless mountains around Fangshan, and they could not withdraw their troops at all.

The opponent's fierce offensive is extremely good at the overall situation of mountain operations. Let his 110th Division be firmly bitten from the moment it arrived at the front line of Fangshan. All his troops were invested in the mountainous areas of Pingxi, and he tried his best, but he did not change his passive situation.

At present, the entire division is entangled in the mountains, and it is not easy to transfer back even one squadron. And he knew more clearly that at this time, the troops were already quite empty, and Beiping City, which was still too busy to take care of itself, could no longer send him any reinforcements.

When the tank troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation had already crossed Wanping City, the second lieutenant general of Hezhiying, who had no troops in his hands, had reached the point of despair. Knowing that there are too many things done in China in his own capacity, he will definitely not be as good as himself in the hands of the Chinese.

In addition to arming all the personnel of the division headquarters and preparing to fight to the death, he was ready to commit suicide. A loaded pistol was in his pocket. He had already made up his mind that he would rather shoot himself in the head than let himself fall into the hands of the Chinese alive.
