    At this point, Wang Guangyu paused and looked at what he said. After listening to his words, Yang Zhenhou continued with an expressionless face: "My idea is to keep the main force in my hands and use one force to attack the core to mobilize the Japanese army.  After the Japanese army breaks away from the current fortifications, we will use our advantages in firepower and mobility to eliminate one or most of the Japanese army on the move. As long as we can eat part of the main force of the Japanese army, I think we can completely reverse the current situation on the Linxi battlefield.  situation.

    "No. 1, in fact, my deployment is also risky. I only use one regiment to attack Linxi County. In fact, the strength of the attack is only roughly equal to the regular troops of the Japanese army defending the city. Can it cause a considerable blow to the Japanese army?  Pressure, mobilizing peripheral Japanese troops is still unknown. "

    "If this regiment pays a considerable price in casualties but cannot shake the Japanese defense in Linxi County, we will most likely fall into a situation where we lose both our wives and our troops. And the mobile force is only one regiment, although it is equipped with a large number of tanks.  But it is not enough to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in a short time."

    "No. 1, the terrain in Linxi is very complex. The overall terrain is not suitable for large-scale armored force movements. Under this kind of terrain, solving problems basically depends on infantry. The troops I have are limited, so it is impossible.  Concentrating too much force in one direction."

    "The armored troops assigned to the 23rd Division are not much less powerful and equipped than us. Although the Japanese army used the armored troops extremely poorly in previous defensive operations, their exposed strength is incompatible with what we have obtained.  The intelligence numbers don¡¯t match up.¡±

    "Once the Japanese army dispatches armored troops to cooperate in the counterattack, then for us, the lack of troop strength may bring fatal danger. Even if there is no big surprise, but we want to eat it in a short time.  It is also impossible to lose a Japanese army. "

    "No. 1, judging from the battle situation in the past three days, although the main force of the Japanese 23rd Division is deployed in Linxi, there is also an infantry regiment, an artillery battalion, a tank squadron in Lindong, and a tank squadron behind it.  There are still six infantry squadrons and two tank squadrons in reserve in Wengniute Banner.¡±

    "If we concentrate our main force to attack Linxi County and only place one regiment of troops on the periphery, then once the Japanese troops from Wengniute Banner and Lindong are outflanking us, and our army has too few troops to control the periphery, our mobile troops will not be fully equipped.  If there is no situation, our army will be attacked from both sides. "

    "On the 1st, although I have the strength of five regiments, one of them has deployed a reinforced battalion to escort Yang Jicai to transfer supplies to the advancing army. The actual strength on hand now is only more than four regiments. If according to the headquarters' regulations  Deployment, under the condition that a part of the troops must be separated to cut off the connection between the Japanese troops in Linxi and Lindong, I will no longer have any reserves on hand. "

    "Once the war drags on and we are unable to capture Linxi County, and the situation changes, we will no longer be able to fight back. No. 1, we can encounter any situation on the battlefield. You have repeatedly stressed to us  , the most important thing on the battlefield is the unexpected situation that may occur at any time.¡±

    "Because many times, this situation often becomes the most critical straw that determines the outcome of the battlefield. If we do not keep enough reserves on hand, we will not be able to take measures to deal with unexpected events. No. 1, the actual situation here,  You know it very well.¡±

    After finishing his thoughts, Wang Guangyu looked at Yang Zhen who was listening carefully to his words. After hesitating for a while, he still said: "No. 1, not only do we need to maintain a certain reserve team on the battlefield in Linxi, I am here  We also need to maintain a certain amount of troops at the junction of Keshiketeng Banner and Linxi to keep an eye on the battle situation there in Rehe."

    "Once the advancing army is in trouble, or the Japanese and puppet troops in Duolun intervene in the battle in Jehol, I will have to provide support to the advancing army at any time. In this way, it originally seemed that we were equal in strength to the 23rd Division.  But the actual number of troops that can be deployed on the front line is inferior to them.¡±

    After that, Wang Guangyu handed a telegram to Yang Zhen and said: "No. 1, it's not that I don't believe in the combat capabilities of the advancing army. The current strength and equipment of the advancing army, as well as the number of troops, should be able to cope with the local Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe.  There is no big problem, but now that the Japanese garrison in Mongolia has been involved, the pressure on the advancing army will be quite high. "

    "Although the support team commanded by Yang Jicai was waiting in concealment at Huanggangliang in Keshiketeng Banner and defeated tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops in one fell swoop, after all, these Japanese and puppet troops were mainly composed of puppet Mongolian troops with relatively low combat effectiveness.  There is a huge gap between the combat effectiveness of the real Japanese army.¡±

    "Although Yang Jicai's battle on the front line of Huanggangliang was beautiful, it only interrupted the Japanese army's intervention in the Jehol war in Chahar. I feel that the Mongolian army sent by the Puppet Mongolian army was the main force this time. More?It's like a test, one is to find out our combat effectiveness. After all, they have not had direct contact with us before. It is a relatively safe move for them to let the pseudo-Mongolian army serve as a scapegoat to feel our true combat effectiveness.  .  "

    "Second, there is probably the intention to test the Kwantung Army's reaction. After all, this is the territory of the Kwantung Army. Although the Japanese troops inside and outside the Kwantung Army have already cooperated, after all, the North China Front Army has not really intervened and sent out puppet troops.  The troops will try it out so as not to cause conflicts between the two parties."

    "But I think the Mongolian garrison will never let go so easily. There will definitely be follow-up actions. If the main force of the Japanese Mongolian garrison participates, it will bring great influence to the Jehol Campaign launched by the advancing army.  Interference may even lead to the failure of the Battle of Jehol.¡±

    "And if the main force of the Japanese troops stationed on the Duolun front line enters the Keshiketeng Banner, it will directly cut off the connection between our army and the advancing army. Both we and the advancing army will be trapped in a situation of being attacked from both sides. Through Yang Jicai's battle, we will feel  Understand the strength of the puppet Mongolian army."

    "These puppet Mongolian troops are quite different from not only the Japanese army, but also the puppet Manchu army in terms of their tactical literacy, equipment and real combat effectiveness. No matter how many they come, there is nothing to worry about. But if the main force of the Mongolian troops stationed in Xinjiang  Being involved is a very serious threat to us. In view of this situation, No. 1, I have to make some preparations.¡±

    After receiving the detailed battle report sent by Yang Jicai from Wang Guangyu after the battle in Huanggangliang, Yang Zhen read it carefully. Although Yang Zhen was still very satisfied with his brother's performance this time, he  Right now, there is neither time nor inclination to evaluate this small-scale battle.

    Yang Zhen understood Wang Guangyu's words. He also knew that Wang Guangyu's current military strength was somewhat insufficient due to the need to take care of the direction of Rehe. When he was forming the roundabout force at that time, because the roundabout force would take at least a long period of time,  , in a lone combat situation with no rear supplies.

    It was necessary to carry as much ammunition, supplies, and fuel as possible, and considering its own carrying capacity, after repeated considerations, only one reinforced division was mobilized. You must know that there are only a few hundred trucks and more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles.  The amount of fuel required for combat capability within a certain period of time is an astronomical figure.

    Therefore, after taking into account its own transportation capacity and after much hesitation, when forming the roundabout force, only one reinforced division, one cavalry brigade, one armored brigade, and some directly affiliated artillery forces were incorporated. These forces and a large number of attached technical arms  , simply dealing with the 23rd Division can at least not fall behind.

    Of course, if the 23rd Division is willing to fight Wang Guangyu in a head-on decisive battle, with superior firepower and armor support, these troops will be barely enough. Yang Zhen believes that in the field, with  With the strength of the four remaining regiments Wang Guangyu had on hand, coupled with the cooperation of the cavalry and armored brigades, it was not possible to defeat the 23rd Division in a field battle, but there was no problem in inflicting heavy losses on them.

    However, the current tactics adopted by the 23rd Division are to rely on solid fortifications to hold on. In addition, he has to dedicate part of his troops to monitor the changes in the battle situation in Jehol. The troops he has on hand are very reluctant.  Unless Wang Guangyu makes up his mind to change all the cavalry on hand to infantry, but even so, the troops in his hands are not enough.

    After all, the 23rd Division is a reinforced division. Although the quantity and quality of tanks and artillery are not necessarily comparable to those of the roundabout troops, the quantity is not much different. Moreover, the 23rd Division is on the Linxi front line, and there are  Strong fortifications can be relied on, which to a certain extent offsets many of the Anti-Union's advantages in firepower.

    Coupled with the fact that there are more than 3,000 Japanese expatriates in Linxi County, which was not in the original intelligence, even if half of them are young adults who can join, they can undoubtedly be regarded as part of the reserve soldiers of the 23rd Division.  There are more than a thousand Japanese expatriates who can be armed at any time. It is naturally impossible to let them go to the battlefield to charge.

    However, after simple training, the ability to stick to the fortifications and fire out guns is still there. If these more than a thousand foreigners are really thrown into the battlefield by the 23rd Division, they can at least replace nearly two brigades of regular Japanese troops.  In other words, if the division commander of the 23rd Division wanted to, he could have two more brigades in reserve at any time.

    Although the strength of the two brigades does not seem to be much, considering the consistent combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, once these two brigades appear in key positions at a critical moment, what will it mean for the situation on the entire battlefield? Yang Zhen  It is clear that although the strength of these two infantry brigades is not too large, it is enough to be the last straw that breaks the entire battle situation at a certain critical period.

    What¡¯s moreWhen the current headquarters was formulating the plan, it did not expect that the Japanese and puppet Mongolian garrison troops in Duolun would intervene so quickly. This was also a very important reason. This made Wang Guangyu have to spare some of his energy during the fierce battle in Linxi.  To observe the Jehol battlefield, it is necessary to retain a certain amount of mobile troops in hand.

    This resulted in a roundabout force whose original strength was barely sufficient. The current strength is somewhat tense. If calculated carefully, there are even some situations where the strength is insufficient. After Wang Guangyu said this, Yang Zhen admitted that he had just  The idea is indeed a bit too taken for granted.
