But Yang Zhen also clearly knows that his thoughts are just thinking. Not to mention the current domestic and international forms, it is impossible to allow oneself to do this. The central government, which has been emphasizing the work on the Hetao, will not approve itself to really start a big fight with that old man at this time.

And not to mention that the central government will not allow it, even if it does, it is difficult for me to support such a long supply line at the moment. Baotou is already the ultimate possible extension of the supply line in this battle. Further west, the supply lines on the western front of this battle will really collapse. But although the Ordos Plateau is an ambition, Baotou is bound to win.

It was also under Yang Zhen's repeated advice, considering that after the battle began, the shape that Baotou might face around it. Chen Hanzhang specially took out this small cluster to take advantage of the advantages of mechanization and attached a cavalry brigade of the Jinsui Military Region that was fighting in this direction, and before it made any moves in the Hetao, it reached the Wuliangsuhai line in order to close the passage through which the Hetao side would reach the Baotou area.

Although Chen Hanzhang never understood why No. 1 had to seize the barren area of Baotou instead of concentrating his forces to seize northern Shanxi with the cooperation of Jinsui and Taiyue Military Region, so as to expand the space for the next operation. Neither food production nor resources around Baotou are enough to independently support the survival of an army.

Without a large supply from the rear, the food there could not sustain the troops. The seizure of Baotou is just a waste of time and energy. With these forces in the north of Jin, more results will be obtained. However, in accordance with the strict regulations that the Anti-Japanese Federation understands and does not understand, it must be implemented, Chen Hanzhang still carried out the order to the letter.

Under his deployment, after entering the periphery of Guisui, the Western Cluster immediately transferred the troops that cooperated with the troops of the Jinsui Military Region to operate. Along the narrow Tumut Plain area on the north bank of the Dahei River, it pursued the main force of the Jinsui Military Region to the west. Strive to seize the east coast of Wuliangsuhai before the Hetao can be started.

And on the west line cluster quickly opened the highway from Guò Ulanhua to Guisui, and took the lead in the third line to start the same time on the Guisui line. Chen Hanzhang personally commanded the troops in the middle of the road, under the guidance of a squadron of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, which had already figured out the terrain of the entire middle section of Daqingshan.

The infantry abandons the car to ride in the tank, and the necessary supply car is hard towed by the tank. All the way to the southeast over the mountains and mountains, successively seize Tuchengzi and Rice Grain Bureau, and quickly pass to the southwest of Taolin County. Avoid the Japanese puppet army on the front line of Taolin and go straight to the front line of Zhuozi Mountain.

This road is the most difficult and the worst part of the battle plan for crossing Yinshan Mountain and going straight to Suinan. Compared with the western route, which has roads to rely on, and the eastern route, which is relatively gentle, this road is basically located in the mountainous terrain and has the most complex terrain and the slowest progress.

However, Chen Hanzhang commanded the troops to climb all the way over the mountains and mountains, relying on the cooperation and guidance of the reconnaissance units directly under the military region, as well as the excellent off-road performance of the BT fast tank and the T 34 tank, and the strong horsepower of the engine, to stubbornly drill a way out of the lofty mountains and mountains of Daqingshan.

After waiting out of Daqing Mountain, Chen Hanzhang looked at the reckless mountains behind him, even if he had always been fearless, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the fact that he used a very mobile BT tank before the war, he replaced the T 26 tank. With the small engine of the 91 horsepower of the T26 tank alone, I am afraid that many sections may not be able to get by.

Once those tanks entered the mountain, they could only be dragged by T 3 or 4 tanks with more engine power. Either because of the poor cross-country ability, it is impossible to get through the guò complex, and it can almost be said that there is no road terrain except for the sheep's intestine trail, so you can only give up.

Despite the fact that only two trucks were lost along the way, all the tanks rushed over. But along the way, it also made Chen Hanzhang sweat. In some places, relying on the solid armor of the T 34 tank and the relatively large hull, it was forced to break out of a road. In some places, it is even necessary to tow two tanks to each other, and puff over little by little.

But fortunately, although it was very dangerous and the time on the road was delayed a little, it was fortunate that it rushed over. Although there is a certain price, the price is bearable. At least all the supplies and tanks, especially ammunition and spare fuel, were brought over.

It's just that Chen Hanzhang didn't expect that because of the complex terrain, the middle road cluster that crossed Daqingshan at the latest played a role in this battle. I didn't expect that the tank cluster of the Anti-Japanese Union would rush out of Daqingshan, and after the troops on the middle line came out of the mountain, they were suddenly caught off guard.

And the delay in time over the mountains and mountains made the main force of the middle line cluster, although it did not eat the first bite of meat. But after arriving at Zhuozi Mountain, it was just in time for a sumptuous feast. It was also the middle line cluster that came out from behind, and the eastern front cluster was reconciled, which laid the battle situation of the Suinan battlefield in one fell swoop.

As for the eastern front, it was also progressing smoothly before reaching Jining. Although the terrain is not flat, the route of the eastern route around Taolin is much smoother than that of the central route. In accordance with Chen Hanzhang's order, he did not entangle with a small group of Japanese puppet troops all the way, and directly killed Benjining, which made the marching speed quite fast.

Even earlier than the middle line troops who were far closer to them, they rushed out of Daqingshan. However, after killing Daqingshan, he encountered the 69th Division, which was departing from northern Jin Province and arriving at Jining Station along the Pingsui Railway in accordance with the orders of the North China Front Army, and urgently reinforcing to the east.

Yi Liangpin, who had just commanded the Eastern Front cluster at the beginning, thought that the Japanese army in front of him was just the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed on the front line of Jining and Fengzhen to discover his whereabouts and mobilize troops to besiege him. But as the number of Japanese troops around him increased, and the actual strength of the troops far exceeded the strength of a brigade, Yi Liangpin felt that something was wrong.

However, Yi Liangpin was a veteran in the end, and in the face of the siege of superior enemy forces, instead of defending on the spot, he used the mobility of tank clusters and took medium tanks as the lead to fight an offensive battle with the Japanese army. With the impact force of the tank, the entire Japanese army was thrown into chaos.

In fact, this battle was a muddled war from the beginning. Yi Liangpin always thought that the Japanese army in front of him was the independent Third Mixed Brigade now stationed on the front line of Jining, Fengzhen, and Zhuozishan. It wasn't until the number of Japanese troops around them became more and more numerous, far exceeding the strength of an independent mixed brigade, that something was wrong.

The 69th Division of the Japanese Army, on the other hand, did not expect that the tank cluster of the Anti-Union would rush out of the great green mountains that they had always thought would be impossible to pass through the tank and armored clusters. I didn't expect that the Anti-United Nations would deploy so many tanks to adopt the tactics of large depth and detour in a frontal battlefield and when it was still in a fierce battle, and penetrate directly into its own depth.

Although Guisui has taken the lead, almost all the Mongolian Xinjiang garrison troops, as well as the North China Front, do not believe that the tank cluster of the Anti-Japanese Union will climb over the Yinshan Mountain, which is impossible to climb in the traditional sense, and forcibly penetrate Suinan through the Wulanhua line. In their minds, tanks are inseparable from road combat.

Even in the mountains, a large number of tank clusters could not climb over such a steep Yin Mountain. The Japanese army also used tanks more than once when sweeping the base areas behind enemy lines in North China. But those so-called tanks, in fact, are just a bunch of tracked armored vehicles, which can only move along mountain roads. It is simply impossible to climb over the mountains and mountains.

In addition, the tanks of the Anti-United Nations have been put into the battlefield, and a large number of anti-United Nations tank units have participated in the war in Chadong and Manchuria. Where are they going, and how many tanks can they find? Therefore, the entire North China Front Army basically did not take it seriously after receiving the report from the Guisui side.

Almost all the staff officers of the North China Front still thought that Lieutenant General Nishihara was making a big fuss and regarded the harassment of the communist army in Daqingshan as the main force of the Anti-Japanese Union attacking. What are you kidding, the steep Yinshan Mountains are not those low hills, not to mention tanks in many places, even the infantry is extremely difficult to climb. A large number of tanks attacked, that was the hallucination of Lieutenant General Nishihara.

And Yi Liangpin, who was attacking along the eastern front, did not expect that at this time, he would encounter a division and regimental reinforcements mobilized by the Japanese army from northern Jin at this time on the Jining line. The strength of the Japanese army inside and outside the entire Jining City far exceeded the original expectation. At the same time, on the railway from Datong to Jining section of the Pingsui railway line, there were more Japanese troops rushing over in a steady stream.

In other words, the 69th Division, which was originally used in the Chadong battlefield, was finally intercepted by the current Yi Liangpin and the main force led by Chen Hanzhang, who arrived later. It can be said that in the current situation, neither the Japanese army on the defensive side nor Yi Liangpin on the offensive side at this time were not prepared in the slightest.

This Jining battle was in a state of chaos from the beginning, and everyone was caught off guard. What neither side expected was that as both sides invested more and more troops, this battle, which was originally just a local encounter, eventually evolved into the beginning of a bloody battle on an unprecedented scale.

If the North China Front had been able to make the quickest response in the shortest possible time when it received a telegram from Nishihara Issei asking for help, the 69th Division would not have fallen into passivity from the beginning. Since the tank can climb over the Yin Mountain, it will go straight to the Guisui line. Then it is not difficult to detour to the territory of Taolin and go straight to Jining.

Since this judgment is made, the Jining side will definitely strengthen its vigilance when the 69th Division passes through its own jurisdiction. At the very least, alert troops will be placed in various mountain passes in Taolin to the north of Jining, or in the mountain plains. In that way, the 69th Division, even if it encountered Yi Liangpin's roundabout troops in Jining, would not be so passive.

The 69th Division, which is mentally prepared, will also make some preparations in advance. At least it won't be like now, when encountering the roundabout troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, a considerable part of the troops were blocked in the train carriage and beaten violently before they had time to get off the train.

However, the entire North China Front Army did not take Nishihara Yice's telegram for help as a matter at all. From top to bottom, they are stubbornly believing that it is impossible for tanks to climb over the steep Yin Mountain and go straight to Suinan from Suibei. The Guisui side must have been besieged, but certainly not as much of a threat as he said.

At most, it was the Chongqing army in the Hetao area, and some harassing attacks were just some harassing attacks. This kind of attack has not been uncommon in recent years. In a raid the year before last, didn't the 1st Cavalry Brigade lose a cavalry wing commander? As far as the few self-modified armored cars on the Hetao side can be called a large-scale armored cavalry cluster, what kind of joke is he making with Lieutenant General Nishihara.

Besides, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade has now been reorganized, and your cavalry group is now really organized into two cavalry brigades. Coupled with the artillery team, combat convoy, and motorized infantry team directly under it, this strength far exceeds that of an ordinary division and regiment. In the face of several armored cars, as for such a frightened yelling?
