    Although the wave of deserters encountered when the advancing army headed north was just a tidbit, it can also prove from another aspect that the Guan Nei army was far from being as good as Yang Zhen imagined when recruiting troops, and the foundation of the army was not as solid as he imagined.  , no matter how you do ideological work, the ideas passed down by the Chinese people for thousands of years are not so easy to change in a short period of time.

    Especially when the Kanai troops crossed the Yellow River eastward to establish the North China base area, the propaganda slogan was to defend the land and never leave home. This is what you preached yourself. It is also your fault that after the troops learned that they were going to advance into the Northeast, their military morale was shaken, and the political  Mobilization is good, but it is not as good as having a wife, children, and a hot bed at home.

    In the opinion of the two veterans, once the troops suffer too many consecutive losses, it will be difficult to obtain replacements in a short period of time. Even in the old base areas, it is not so easy to mobilize troops to the Northeast. During the civil war, prisoners can be used  Replenish the troops, but now you can't catch the Japanese prisoners who change into military uniforms and join the troops. Even if he is personally willing to serve in the anti-fascist war, even you yourself cannot safely let such troops go to the battlefield.

    Especially once the Japanese army counterattacks Rehe with a heavy force group and cuts off the land connection between the advancing army and the Northeast, the situation will be even more serious for the troops whose strength has been greatly weakened by continuous operations but is difficult to be supplemented.  It is dangerous. When the time comes, the troops who need ammunition but no ammunition, and need food but no food, may even be completely destroyed under the siege of the Japanese and puppet troops.

    The tragedy of the Western Route Army at that time left a deep impression on the two veterans, especially the commanders of the Western Aid Army. The lonely army went on long-distance expeditions without supplies, and most of the results ended in tragedy. Although the current resistance is  The Lianhe Army was not the Western Route Army that was short of men and horses, and short of food and ammunition.

    But it is not that the Japanese army was also poorly equipped, only a little better than the Western Route Army, and had no tactical literacy. When talking to Yang Zhen, the two old commanders reminded Yang of the lessons learned from the Western Route Army.  This lesson is particularly important in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Western Route Army. Especially when it is difficult to replenish troops, this lesson is particularly important. People are not guns and ammunition. They can be remade after being shot out. Without people, there is nothing.

    Compared with the advancing army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which were struggling to supplement the difficulties, the Japanese army's follow-up combat capabilities were much stronger. Even though the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in North China were severely damaged and were unable to counterattack after this battle, the Japanese army was in central and southern China, at home and in North Korea.  There are still a large number of troops.

    Moreover, according to intelligence, the Japanese army is forming a large number of new divisions in the country, and the Japanese army controls modern transportation lines such as shipping and railways. It can be replenished and mobilized very quickly. Once the Chinese battlefield needs it, these new divisions can pass through  By sea, quickly reach the Chinese battlefield.

    The two veterans are both military masters. Their understanding and judgment of the war potential of either side of the war are at least an above-average level. It is precisely because they can see Yang Zhen's plan that if it fails, it will bring destruction to the future development of the army.  Sexual influence, so it is normal not to support Yang Zhen's plan, which seems to be quite risky.

    When the time comes, he will lose his troops and his troops, exhausted from long battles, will not be able to guarantee whether they can withstand the counterattack of the new Japanese troops. Therefore, Yang Zhen can understand the cautious attitude of the two veterans.  Yang Zhen is also aware of the old coach's concerns, but understanding does not mean that he will fully accept them.

    He believes that although his idea is extremely risky, it is still quite feasible as long as the plan is careful. Moreover, choosing Suiyuan as the main target will actually lead to smaller risks than choosing Chanan. Compared with Chanan,  , Suiyuan is actually less important in the overall strategic position of the Japanese army.

    Most areas of Suiyuan have flat terrain, barren land, poor people, and almost no products except cattle, horses, and sheep. As China's most important coal, steel, and rare metal production base, that was only a matter of decades later, and  The rare earth mines in Baotou are far from being utilized at this time. Compared with important mineral resources required for military production such as nickel and chromium, the current utilization rate of rare earths is still relatively low.

    After all, at this time, there was no aerospace industry, aviation industry and electronics industry, and they were far less developed than later generations. The demand for rare earths was far less than that of later generations. In terms of resources and materials, Suiyuan had nothing to offer the Japanese army.  something to take advantage of.

    They seize most of Suiyuan, in addition to posing a threat to Shaanxi and the entire northwest from the north. When necessary, they can form a pincer offensive with the Japanese army in Shanxi against Shaanxi, attack Shaanxi from north to south, and gain access to Suixi to Ningxia and Ningxia.  In addition to the channels for Gansu's offensive, the most important point is to increase the depth of the North China Front's entire strategic defense and ensure the security of northwest Shanxi.

    In addition to certain strategic factors, Suiyuan is probably of the greatest importance to the Japanese army¡¯s entire strategy in North China.??It is better to be connected to the mountains and rivers of northern Shanxi. In fact, the entire strategic location is extremely important and is rich in coal, especially the Chanan area in the northern barrier of Datong, known as the coal capital of China.

    This can be seen from the fact that the main force of the Japanese garrison in Mongolia is located along the line from Zhangjiakou to the Great Wall. In the entire vast area of ??Suiyuan, there is only one small cavalry group. Compared with Suiyuan, which cannot be self-sufficient in food,  The Chanan area, connected by mountains and rivers within the pass, is much more important in the entire strategic territory of the Japanese army.

    In addition to these, there is another very subtle reason that may not be impossible. According to Chongqing's division, the entire Suiyuan is the territory of the Eighth War Zone. After the Wannan Incident, with the Japanese army's intelligence collection capabilities, they could not  You will realize that the current domestic political atmosphere is far less than it was at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, and the rift between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is already quite deep. It is just because of the common enemy of the Japanese army that there is no open quarrel.

    Choosing Suiyuan as the main target, perhaps the Japanese army, which is expecting the Chinese to fight on their own, will be happy to see the results of the conflict between the two sides in order to compete for territory, or even deliberately create conflicts between the two armies, and may give up on those who are not interested in it.  Suiyuan is crucial.

    Especially now that the Japanese offensive in the entire China has actually reached its end and is no longer capable of attacking the northwest inland China, and under the rather strange domestic political situation, there are always people who are looking forward to being a snipe and a clam.  In the struggle, the fisherman who gains the advantage.

    If a conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party really breaks out in Suiyuan at this time, it will undoubtedly be a disguised assistance to the Japanese army's move to destroy the current anti-Japanese national united front. According to the consistent nature of the Japanese army, in order to provoke a civil war among the Chinese, it will give up its control of the Chinese people.  For them, Suiyuan, which is not too important, is not impossible.

    Although this possibility is not too great, it is not impossible at all. Therefore, Yang Zhen believes that some things should be considered from many aspects. When deciding a battle, not only the foreseeable enemies on the battlefield must be considered, but also the  Factors other than the battlefield, especially things like moving trouble eastward and inciting discord among the Chinese to engage in internal strife, the Japanese would be very happy to do.

    Therefore, in Yang Zhen's view, the battle plan of choosing the Chabei area, which is suitable for large-scale mechanized operations, as the main breakthrough point, deploying a force to the south along the Yinshan Mountains to defend, and targeting Suiyuan as the main target, is actually not only easy.  In addition to causing conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

    The military risk of choosing Suiyuan is no greater than choosing the Chanan area where the Japanese army is heavily concentrated and is more closely connected with the pass. And in Yang Zhen's view, if you don't dare to take any risks, then why not?  What do we want these people to do? What is war? War is a risk.

    In fact, Yang Zhen is very clear about executing his own combat plan, including the plan of the two veterans. The most likely problem is not the west, but the Rehe area here. If the troops are advancing westward,  If Rehe, especially the crucial Rexi area, is lost, it will really be difficult to take care of it from beginning to end, but the place where problems are most likely to occur does not necessarily have to go wrong. As long as you are prepared in advance, the danger is completely  avoidable.

    Although he was a little tired, Yang Zhen knew that the root of solving this matter still lies with the central government. No matter whether he and the two marshals have the same opinions, as long as the central government agrees, with the two marshals' personalities, even if they disagree, they will still  Unswervingly implement the requirements of the central government.

    After thinking about it, Yang Zhen took out a pen and paper, and personally drafted a telegram to the central government. In this telegram, Yang Zhen described the best and worst possible results of his ideas, as well as what they would bring.  A complete report was made to the central government on the subsequent impact, including the impact on the surrounding environment of all anti-Japanese base areas in North China.

    The next battle plan, whether it is as expected or not, will involve almost all the anti-Japanese base areas in North China and deal with the troops inside the pass. In particular, his plan requires the full cooperation of the Jinsui Military Region. Without the central government,  The Anti-League's approval and coordination cannot be achieved by relying solely on the Anti-League's own abilities.

    If you want to obtain the central government's consent, you must first need the support of the two veterans. As long as they support their plan, the chance of obtaining the central government's consent will be much greater. Otherwise, the central government will risk the failure of several major military regions.  I am afraid that the risk of losing money will be difficult to sustain, so it will be difficult to make this determination.

    At the same time, as long as we have the support of the two veterans, the next step of the battle will be better carried out, especially the political commissar. Although he has been transferred to the political commissar of the advancing army, he now holds the position of commander and political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.  He was not exempted, and the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was still under his command.

    The commander is currently the same. His position as commander of the 129th Division has not been in contact with the Taihang Military Region. The entire Taihang and Taiyue Military Region troops are still under his subordinates. Only twoOnly when the commander-in-chief supports him can the entire second phase of the operation be better integrated into a game of chess. With the commander as a bridge, communication with the Jinsui Military Region will be more convenient.

    Therefore, Yang Zhen came to Rehe this time to communicate his thoughts about the next battle with the two veterans in advance in order to win their agreement to jointly do the work of the central government. He originally thought that as long as he could get the support of the two veterans  , it will be easier for the central government to do the next step.

    What he didn't expect was that he would be so disappointed with the result of this visit. His plan was not approved by the two old coaches. This result somewhat disappointed Yang Zhen, but Yang Zhen  He has a stubborn character in his bones, but it is destined that he is not a person who gives in easily.

    This telegram was his second suggestion on the next step of the war. However, he also knew that the central government would also consider this kind of matter from an overall perspective. He would not reply too quickly, but when the central government would reply, it would be the central government's.  Whether you can stick to your own ideas or not is your own business.
