Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just as the main battle of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain had just ended and the final battle had not yet completely subsided, the Japanese troops participating in the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain rushed eastward without waiting for rest.  Beginning on May 1st, a brutal sweep was launched across the entire Jizhong Plain.  From the early launch of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain by the Japanese army to the eastward transfer of the entire army, the entire plan was made extremely carefully.

    Even part of the troops devoted themselves to raiding the Jizhong base areas as soon as they got off the bus in Baoding and Shimen.  At the same time as the Japanese troops arrived, all the Japanese and puppet troops who had not participated in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain were dispatched at the same time.  This time, the Japanese army reached the maximum level of suddenness from the launch of the campaign to the number of troops invested.

    And by taking advantage of the frequent radio communications in all aspects during the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, we effectively avoided the weak radio monitoring of the troops within the customs.  Communication limitations limit the sources of intelligence that various troops within the customs can obtain, making it impossible for the troops within the customs to obtain effective intelligence from communications.

    In fact, before a major battle is launched, the deployment, adjustment, weapons equipment, and logistics supplies of the attacking troops will all undergo certain changes before the battle, regardless of the careful planning.  For such a big move, the Japanese army simply cannot implement all radio silence. As long as the communication equipment is sufficient and careful judgment is made, no clues can be discovered.

    "However, the communication capabilities of the internal troops are poor. Not only are there a small number of radio stations, but there is also a particular lack of high-power radio stations.  There are only a few high-power radio stations, which are not enough to maintain contact with the central government on weekdays.  How could you do nothing but just monitor Japanese military radio communications?

    Its own communication capabilities are weak, coupled with the lack of qualified intelligence analysis and judgment staff, and in order to hide its true strategic intentions, the Japanese army has adopted certain confusing measures and radio feints.  The base area was actually unable to obtain any useful information from the Japanese army's frequent radio communications this time.

    ¡°If there were a monitoring station in Qiqihar, Harbin, Jiamusi, and Mudanjiang each dedicated to monitoring Japanese military radio communications, plus a group of intelligence analysis staff specially trained by Yang Zhen.  No matter how well-hidden the Japanese military's strategic intentions are, there are still some clues that can be found.

    The Japanese army¡¯s tight organization, swiftness and decisiveness in this raid were unprecedented in previous raids.  They also adopted considerable confusing methods to attract the attention of the main force of our army in North China to the Zhongtiao Mountains.  Then quickly mobilize troops to participate in the battle according to the predetermined plan.  Judging from these trends, the Japanese army's plan to initiate the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and the large-scale sweep of the Jizhong Plains are closely linked.

    The reason why the losses in this anti-mopping up operation in the Central Hebei Military Region were so heavy.  In addition to the large differences in troop strength, equipment and training with the Japanese army.  The Japanese army's battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was not yet completely over, and they quickly advanced eastward without any rest or recuperation.  Being caught off guard, he made almost no preparations for the raid.

    Coupled with the tight blockade of the news by the Japanese army, all the combat plans of the various Japanese units participating in the war were not released to the units below the regiment until the first day of the sweep.  The ranks below the squadron leader and the puppet troops participating in the sweep were not informed of the sweep plan until the sweep began, making the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region basically ignorant of the Japanese sweep.

    On the one hand, the strict measures and various technical means adopted by the Japanese army successfully concealed their true strategic intentions. On the other hand, no one expected that they had held on for four full years and resisted thirteen sieges by the Japanese army, with a complete defense.  position.  Although the military strength is now somewhat weakened, the Zhongtiao Mountain garrison, which still has hundreds of thousands of troops, will collapse so quickly.

    In just one day, the defense line was completely torn, and in less than six days, the entire defense collapsed.  From the time the Japanese army launched its attack on April 15th to the roughly completion of the battle, it only took more than ten days. The Japanese army completely defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain 1 theater.

    The defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain were defeated in a short period of time, allowing the Japanese army to mobilize a large number of troops to advance eastward quickly in the shortest possible time.  The deployment was completed before everyone could react.  When the Jizhong Military Region discovered that the situation had changed, and before it had time to adjust its deployment, the Japanese troops were already dispatched.

    "The remaining troops in the Taihang and Taiyue Military Regions also made the same mistakes as the Jizhong Military Region.  Unexpectedly, the Japanese army's massive sweep of the Jizhong Plain had not yet ended, and the final sweep of the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield in the south had not yet been completed. They even ignored the risk of the troops from the First Theater Zone on the south bank of the Yellow River counterattacking Zhongtiao Mountain.  Concentrate a large number of troops and launch a large-scale raid on the base area.

    During this raid on the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in North China, the Japanese army far exceeded all previous raids in terms of combat planning and speed of action.  Regardless of the justice of the war initiated, this operation successfully achieved the goal of war.The suddenness of the initiation can be said to be quite perfect.  The newly appointed commander of the North China Front of the Japanese army was very good at this skill.

    This time the Japanese army raided the Central Hebei Military Region, and the entire deployment was watertight.  The objectives of the combat mission are clear, and the cooperation between all forces is extremely effective.  As for the Japanese and puppet troops who raided the Taihang and Taiyue areas, although they were dispatched two months later than the Jizhong area, their timing was quite precise.  In other words, what they are waiting for is the final and exact location of the troops that were deployed to form the advancing army and disappeared in the two major base areas.

    Of course, the Japanese army doesn¡¯t care too much about where the troops incorporated into the advancing army will be transferred.  For the Chinese Army, which has always looked down upon, especially after the so-called great victory of defeating hundreds of thousands of Chinese Army units at Zhongtiao Mountain at almost a negligible cost, the Japanese army treated the 18th Group Army troops with even worse equipment in their sweep areas.  I don't care too much about the number of troops.

    Especially in this raid, it was rare for the Japanese army to concentrate superior forces in a single area.  They don't even care about how many troops the opponents they face have.  But for the Japanese troops mopping up in Taihang and Taiyue districts, the strength of their opponents will undoubtedly affect their combat plans.

    The Japanese army immediately launched a raid on the two major base areas on the second day after the advancing troops came out of the border. This only shows that they have formulated various combat plans based on changes in the situation.  And made detailed preparations and anticipated various situations.  His meticulous thinking, decisive actions, and concealment of troop mobilization can all be said to be extremely classic.

    And at almost the same time as the attacks on Taiyue and Taihang, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity that the raids in central Hebei had been basically completed and some troops could be mobilized, and at the same time launching a large-scale raids on the Jidong Military Region, this move was even more vicious.  Although it cannot directly contain the advancing army and the anti-alliance forces in Jehol, it will have a considerable impact on their subsequent operations.

    His goal is very clear, which is to cooperate with the Kwantung Army in operations and eliminate our army's Jidong Anti-Japanese Base Area as the rear base of the advancing army.  As a result, my advancing troops entering Jehol lost their rear support.  As for the anti-Japanese resistance forces heading south, even if they broke through the front line of the Great Wall, without support from within the pass, they would still be in a situation where follow-up operations were weak.

    ??And the complete elimination of the troops of the Jidong Military Region means the complete elimination of all possible dangers to the Beining Line.  And caused the troops in Rehe to lose an important support point.  Although it is far from being said to be a drain on the bottom of the cauldron, the impact is quite significant, and it can even be said that it involves a considerable part of the energy of advancing the army.  These three consecutive sets of combination punches can be said to be quite beautiful.

    Although as an opponent, as an eternal enemy and my future opponent.  But as a military commander, Yang Zhen had to secretly admire the Japanese army's entire deployment and combat plan.  As long as this person is in charge of the North China Front and as long as his troops enter the customs, this person will be a strong opponent of him.

    With such a strong opponent as the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, one must be cautious about the strategic goal of breaking through Chabei and seizing Suiyuan.  Judging from the series of major actions this man took after taking office in North China, he is indeed worthy of being the most valued Japanese general in Chongqing at the moment.

    But it¡¯s prudent to be prudent, but it¡¯s quite unwilling for him to give up right now.  The opponent is extremely cunning, but it is not a weakness.  In fact, in the entire operation of the Japanese army, only one word stood out among all the deployments, which was the word "quick".  Taking advantage of people's usual psychological thinking, a time lag was created.

    It is precisely by using the common thinking of ordinary people in military affairs that we beat all opponents with a time difference.  Almost no one would have thought that before a war was over, almost all the main forces would be mobilized and immediately put into another battlefield without any rest.

    It was precisely by taking advantage of this mentality of almost everyone that the Japanese army made a beautiful time difference this time.  But the fundamental reason why the Japanese army can do this is that they have a large number of modern transportation vehicles in their hands.  Using these vehicles, a large number of troops can be moved from one battlefield to another in a very short time.  It is precisely because of these modern means of transportation that they can deploy their troops so calmly.

    The Japanese army¡¯s mechanization capabilities are not strong, and even the entire North China Front Army is not equipped with many trucks.  The so-called degree of mechanization is high or low. Even a war zone with hundreds of thousands of troops has only a few transport trucks, and most supplies must be carried by manpower.  Once the ammunition carried by the army is used up, they can only wait for the Chinese ** team who don't know when they will be sent for follow-up replenishment.

    ?Compared with Western armies with a higher degree of mechanization, they rely more on railway lines for troop transportation and logistical supplies.  According to the standards of the Japanese army, their wartime supply limit cannot exceed 300 kilometers of railway lines.  When?Fighting along the Yangtze River is an exception.

    Japan has a superior navy, and the Yangtze River, the largest river in China, is deep and wide.  No matter the water volume or water depth, it is far from comparable to the Yellow River.  Sea-going vessels and warships of the 10,000-ton class can reach the Wuhu River directly, and those of the 5,000-ton class can be traced directly to Wuhan.  Including the tributaries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the Japanese army almost did not need to consider the issue of supply lines during operations.

    But in North China, their troop mobilization and combat material supply mainly relied on railway lines.  The rapid mobilization of Japanese troops this time relied on the Tongpu, Zhengtai, and Pinghan railway lines.  If these major railway lines were cut off, the Japanese troops would not be able to mobilize so quickly.

    Even if they are a railway unit, the railway line is not a road. You can continue driving by filling the holes.  If he had to dig up the roadbed, it would take more than ten days to repair it.  Moreover, rails cannot be produced in mainland China, and the required rails can only be shipped from Japan.  No matter how large your transport capacity is, you can't withstand a lot of losses every day.  Without railways, how will you transport soldiers, equipment and supplies, and how will you transport the large amounts of plundered food and mineral resources out of the country?
