Yang Jicai's three points are to the point. If Yi Liangpin and the 69th Division met in Jining, it would be an accident. Then Mu Changqiu encountered the vanguard of the 15th Division in Datong, which was a mistake in intelligence. The Japanese army moved quickly and could only pass through the Guò railway. Several infantry brigades need at least two military trains to be mounted.

Although the 15th Division first went to Beiping to concentrate, and then arrived in Taiyuan, it was ready to be used in the Suidong and Chaxi battlefields. However, from Zhengding to Taiyuan via the Zhengtai Railway, and to Datong via the Tongpu Railway, the whole process should be under the supervision of the troops in the Guannei. However, these infantry brigades were transported from Beiping to Taiyuan until they arrived in Datong without any intelligence, which cannot but be said to be a mistake.

Moreover, the most crucial thing at the moment is that the vanguard of the 15th Division has arrived in Datong, so there is no information at all about where the main force of the division is now. Is it now around Taiyuan, taking over the defense of other Japanese troops in the north, and the troops in the Guannai have not received any information in this regard.

At present, the most useful strategic information transmitted by the troops in the Guannai is that the 41 st Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Linfen is gathering and assembling troops and adjusting the establishment of weapons and equipment. The 293rd Infantry Wing, which was the vanguard, had already advanced along the highway to Huo County, and was in the midst of a fierce battle with the interception troops of the Taiyue Military Region. The main force of the Taiyue Military Region is launching attacks on various targets in Linfen in order to delay the assembly of the 41st Division as quickly as possible.

As for the reinforcements that the Japanese army transferred to the Shanxi battlefield along the Zhengtai Railway, there is still no source of intelligence. Although the Taihang Military Region concentrated a large number of troops, under the command of the deputy commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army, it carried out large-scale destruction along the Zhengtai Railway.

However, under the all-out counterattack of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Changzhi and the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Yangquan, the destruction of the Zhengtai Railway never met the standard of interrupting use. The Japanese army concentrated a field railway wing at Jingcheng, Yangquan, and Yuci, and mobilized a large number of railway armored patrol vehicles.

In order to curb the sabotage actions of the Taihang Military Region, the Japanese army also adopted the method of attaching two passenger trains at the front and back of each military train, using ordinary Chinese people as meat shields. Although it has made a considerable number of Chinese people who have never taken a train travel for the first time.

But it also made the Taihang Military Region almost helpless in the face of the Japanese army's tactics against the destruction of the Zhengtai Railway. Even if there is artillery, they dare not use it, and even more so if they create a derailment. The train is not a car, and if you break one behind, it can stop. If the locomotive is derailed or blown up, the entire train will derail or overturn.

Even if that section of the railway was damaged, the damaged railway was basically repaired in a short period of time under the rush of repairs by a large number of railway wings mobilized by the Japanese army. The many attacks of the troops of the Taihang Military Region on the Jingcheng Station at the throat of the entire Zhengtai Road also failed because of the tight vigilance of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army obviously learned the lesson of the destruction of the Zhengtai Railway in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments. No matter how severe the battle was, the 36th Division stationed in Yangquan and Changzhi and the 4th Brigade were independently mixed, and not a single soldier was transferred. On the contrary, the two field supplementary teams transferred from the 12th Army were strengthened, and the troops along the Zhengtai Railway were greatly strengthened.

As a result, the sabotage operation of the Taihang Military Region has never been able to achieve effective results. Although the Donkey Ridge Railway Bridge and the Xionghouwan Railway Bridge were damaged, the two railway bridges were restored to traffic within three days due to the all-out repair of the Japanese army. In other words, the Japanese army can still use this railway at any time to quickly mobilize reinforcements to Shanxi.

Taiyuan, where the headquarters of the First Army is located, is not Datong, where most of the garrison has been transferred. It was the core area of the Japanese army's rule in Shanxi, and it was also the brain of the entire Shanxi Japanese army. The hostile situation around there is far more complicated than that of Datong. Not only did there be a large number of Japanese troops who could quickly move through the Guò railway at any time, but there were also a large number of puppet troops.

This operation, interspersed with the rescue of prisoners of war in Taiyuan, can be said to be a lone battle. The most fundamental thing is actually one, that is, fast in and fast out. At the fastest speed, after completing the rescue task assigned by the superiors, immediately retreat to the mountainous area as quickly as possible. As long as they are out of the sight of the Japanese army in a short period of time, with the current situation in northern Jinbei, the Japanese army will not concentrate too many troops to pursue.

The key to achieving this goal lies in the sensitivity of intelligence. Small changes in the hostile situation can only be explored by Yang Jicai himself. However, major changes in the hostile situation still require a report from the superiors. If the intelligence is not good, then there is a real possibility of delaying the big thing. This reinforced regimental-level unit is really in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army. It's just that at the moment, this source of intelligence still has to rely on the troops in the Guannai.

As for Yang Jicai's reminder of the safety of the left flank of the Datong line, Du Kaishan smiled and said: "The two divisions I transferred to the western front are preparing to enter the front line of the Outer Great Wall from the mouth of the tiger, outflank the Datong flank from Zuoyun and Youyu, and contain the Japanese army going north through Shuo County. Otherwise, you and I will be full of food and support, and I will not take the short road, and the reinforcements of the Datong battlefield will have to go far away? ”

"Lao Tzu and Lao Chen's gaze is not only Datong, but the entire battle north of the Great Wall outside Shanxi Lao Tzu does not want to let go. It's just that Lao Chen is over there this time, and Lao Tzu has no way to grab food with Lao Chen. This is not the most depressing thing, the most depressing thing is that I actually want to keep you too. ”

"Although your reminder is a little late, it can be regarded as a hero's vision. The more you say that, the more reluctant I am to let you go. "After Lao Wang set off with the roundabout troops, I lacked a chief of staff here. Although your kid is not at the level enough, his ability is okay. “

"There shouldn't be any problems with the acting chief of staff, but it's a pity that the battle situation and the headquarters can't agree. I was also a little worried about handing over this task to someone else, so I could only endure the pain and love. Lao Tzu has been busy for a long time, and this dish is ready, okay, his Lao Chen even took the pot away, and he gave Lao Chen a chef. ”

Speaking of this, Du Kaishan raised his head and said to Yang Jicai: "As for the intelligence problem you said, I have also been thinking about it. We can't ride a horse blind, we just walk by feeling. It's just that on the side of the troops in the Guannai, it's not appropriate for us to say it directly. In this way, I asked No. 1 to send a report directly to the commander-in-chief to supervise the intelligence over there. But hopefully it may not be too much, and you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"I asked people to prepare a set of contact passwords with the remaining troops of Jinsui and Taihang Military Regions, and give them to you. I'll give you another long-range radio vehicle, which can guarantee communication with several regions at any time. In this way, I am giving you two combat detachments of reconnaissance brigades directly under the military region, plus four reconnaissance companies, and there will be no more. ”

"I am here in the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, and now there is a squadron. Give you two reconnaissance detachments at once, and I have only one detachment left of my strategic reconnaissance force here. With such a big battlefield as mine, there are still so many Japanese soldiers with chopsticks in my hands, and I can't leave none of them. ”

"As for the cavalry, don't worry about it, I don't have one here now. However, when the westward advance troops arrive around Fengzhen, I will ask Lao Chen to transfer two cavalry companies for you to join you at the Qingshui River. After entering the mouth of the Swallowing Tiger, these reconnaissance units were scattered in advance, focusing on the direction of Taiyuan and Linfen. ”

"I don't care how you fight this fight, because I can't give you a complete plan. But I only have one request, the task must be completed, and you kid can bring me back alive. As for the equipment that is lost, it will be lost, as long as people can keep it, we can find a way to get the equipment. After a while, you go to the logistics department and take whatever you need. ”

"You go down and prepare, Su Yingqi, I'll transfer you back immediately." Since you want him by name, I have nothing to be reluctant to part with. I will take the 68th Regiment of the 23rd Division in the current reserve of the headquarters as the backbone, and I will transfer a reinforced battalion from the 11th Division to form this detachment. ”

"Considering the integrity and familiarity of the command system, I asked the commanders of the 68th Regiment and Su Yingqi to make a switch. His regimental Kangbao was a little injured in the first battle, and it is unlikely that he could be used as the main force. So the rest of the troops, downsized into a battalion, are also strengthened for you. In summary, this detachment of yours is equivalent to the strength of two regiments. ”

Listen to Du Kaishan's arrangement. After Yang Jicai took a military map of Shanxi handed over by Wang Minggui, he saluted and returned to his place. It's just that after returning to his residence, Yang Jicai didn't do anything. After writing a sheet of what you need, hand it over to the logistics department to prepare. He opened the quilt and lay down on his marching bed and fell asleep.

He hadn't rested for a few days, and his brain was exhausted to the extreme. Commander Du only gave himself the task, except for a map of Shanxi, and there was no other plan. In other words, how to carry out this mission, Commander Du did not have a number.

Rather than pondering behind closed doors here when the enemy situation is still unclear, it is better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to take a good rest. In order to ensure that after the operation is launched, he has a clear brain and can make the most accurate judgment on any changes in the enemy situation at any time, which is the most important thing for him to do at the moment.

After receiving the report that Yang Jicai returned to his residence, he didn't do anything, but covered the quilt and fell asleep. Du Kaishan said to Wang Minggui with great appreciation: "This kid, I really didn't misunderstand him, and he always knew what he should do the most." If it weren't for the fact that there was no one to take over this task, I would not be willing to let him go. ”

Regarding Du Kaishan's evaluation, Wang Minggui just smiled slightly and didn't say anything. As the chief of operations under him, what kind of person is Yang Jicai, and where is he still unclear? Otherwise, how could he have recommended him alone among the dozens of cadres at the deputy division and regimental level in the entire Western Front army?

Wang Minggui didn't answer his words, and Du Kaishan didn't care. He clicked on the map and said: "Lao Wang, you commanded two divisions of troops to reinforce the battlefields of Suinan and Northern Jin this time, there is one thing I must tell you." When forcibly interspersed, no matter what kind of enemy situation you encounter, you should not entangle with the enemy. ”

"Mu Changqiu besieged Datong, which stabbed the weakness of the entire Shanxi First Army. Judging from the current shape, the speed of reinforcement of the First Army was quite fast. Every hour of delay here will be, the greater the pressure on Mu Changqiu's side. If Lao Mu is eaten, the follow-up chain reaction that may be caused, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to keep Suinan. All of our previous efforts will be undone. ”

"You have only one mission, and that is to go straight to the front line as fast as possible. As time drags on, the pressure on Mu Changqiu can only get bigger and bigger. In the face of the internal and external attacks of the Japanese army, his troops were still too small. Whether we can meet the requirements of the headquarters in this battle depends on your forced penetration this time. ”

"As long as you can break through the mouth of the tiger within forty-eight hours, the initiative on the battlefield in northern Jin will be firmly in our hands. However, after you arrive in the northwest of Jinxi, don't be passive in defense, and try to attack instead of defend as much as possible depending on the situation. Tear the Japanese troops on the periphery of Datong as far as they can. ”
