    But Yang Zhen also knew clearly that his idea was just a thought. Not to mention the current domestic and international situation, it was impossible for him to do this.  ¡Ê¨JI have been emphasizing the work on the Loop, and I will not allow myself to really start a fight with that guy at this time.

    ¡°And let alone the central government will not allow it, even if it is allowed, it will be difficult for me to support such a long supply line at the moment.  Baotou is already the extreme extension of the supply line in this battle.  Further west, the supply line on the western front of this battle will really break.  But although the Ordos Plateau is an ambition, he is bound to win Baotou.

    Also under Yang Zhen¡¯s repeated instructions, we considered the situation that Baotou might face after the war started.  Chen Hanzhang specially selected this small group to take advantage of mechanization and attached it to a cavalry brigade of the Jinsui Military Region fighting in this direction. They reached the Wuliangsuhai line before the Hetao side made any move, so as to close the Hetao side's reach into the Baotou area.  aisle.

    Although Chen Hanzhang never understood why No. 1 had to seize the barren area of ??Baotou instead of concentrating its forces to seize northern Shanxi with the cooperation of the Jinsui and Taiyue Military Regions to expand space for the next operation.  Neither the food output nor the resources around Baotou are sufficient to independently support the survival of an army.

    Without a large amount of supplies from the rear, the food there would not be enough to sustain the troops.  Capturing Baotou is just a waste of time and energy.  With these forces placed in northern Shanxi, more results will be obtained.  However, in accordance with the strict regulations of the Anti-League, which stipulated that both those who understood and those who did not understood had to be implemented, Chen Hanzhang still carried out the order to the letter.

    Under his deployment, after entering the outskirts of Guisui, the Western Cluster immediately mobilized troops to cooperate with the operations of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region troops.  Along the narrow Tumut Plain area on the north bank of the Dahei River, we pursued the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region westward.  Strive to seize the east coast of Wuliangsuhai area before the Loop takes action.

    And on the west line, the cluster quickly passed through the highway from Wulanhua to Guisui, and took the lead among the three lines to start at the same time on the Guisui line.  Chen Hanzhang personally commanded the troops in the middle, under the guidance of a squadron of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region that had already figured out the terrain of the entire middle section of Daqing Mountain.

    The infantrymen give up their cars and ride on the tanks, while the necessary supply vehicles are towed by the tanks.  All the way to the southeast, we climbed over the mountains and ridges, successively occupied Tuchengzi and the Miliang Bureau, and quickly passed through the southwest of Taolin County.  The Japanese and puppet troops avoided the Taolin front line and went straight to the Zhuozishan front line.

    This road is the most difficult and the worst part of the entire battle plan to cross the Yinshan Mountains and penetrate into Suinan.  Compared with the western route, which has roads to rely on, and the eastern route, which has relatively gentle terrain, this route is basically located in mountainous areas and has the most complicated terrain, and the slowest progress.

    But Chen Hanzhang commanded the troops to cross the mountains all the way, relying on the cooperation and guidance of the reconnaissance troops 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 powerful horsepower of the engine, to forcefully drill out of the high mountains of Daqingshan.  One way to go.

    After leaving Daqing Mountain, Chen Hanzhang looked at the vast mountains behind him. Even though he was always fearless, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.  If you didn't use the highly mobile BT tank before the war, replace it with the T-26 tank.  The 91-horsepower small engine of the T-26 tank alone may not be able to pass through many areas.

    Once those tanks enter the mountains, they can only be dragged over by T-34 tanks with larger engine horsepower.  Either because the off-road ability is poor and the terrain is difficult to pass through, it can be said that there are no roads except for small trails, so we have to give up.

    Although only two trucks were lost along the way, all the tanks rushed over.  But along the way, Chen Hanzhang was also sweating a lot.  In some places, they relied on the solid armor and relatively large body of the T-34 tanks to forcefully carve out a path.  In some places, it is even necessary to pull the two tanks towards each other and move them bit by bit.

    But fortunately, although it was extremely dangerous and the time on the road was delayed a bit, fortunately, we made it through in the end.  Although a certain price has been paid, this price is still bearable.  At least all the supplies and tanks, especially ammunition and spare oil, were brought over.

    It¡¯s just that Chen Hanzhang has not yet thought that due to the complex terrain, the middle cluster that crossed the Daqing Mountains at the latest played a role in this battle.  The Japanese army, which had never expected that the anti-alliance tank cluster would rush out of Daqing Mountain, was caught off guard after the center-line troops fought their way out of the mountain.

    And the time delay in crossing the mountains and ridges meant that the main force of the midline cluster did not get the first bite of meat.  But after arriving at Zhuozi Mountain, they happened to catch up with a sumptuous banquet.  That's exactly what happened from behindThe incoming center line cluster cooperated with the east line cluster, establishing the situation of the Suinan battlefield in one fell swoop.

    As for the eastern front, it went smoothly before arriving at Jining.  Although the terrain is not flat, the route along the eastern route that bypasses Taolin is much gentler than the central route.  Again, in accordance with Chen Hanzhang's order, he did not tangle with the small group of Japanese and puppet troops along the way, and directly killed Jining, making the march very fast.

    They even rushed out of Daqingshan earlier than the midline troops who were much closer to them.  However, after fighting their way out of Daqingshan, they encountered the 69th Division on the Jining front line, which was following the orders of the North China Front, starting from northern Shanxi along the Pingsui Railway and getting off at Jining Station for emergency reinforcements to the east.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But as the number of Japanese troops in the surrounding area increased, and the actual strength far exceeded that of a brigade, Yi Liangpin felt that something was wrong.

    However, Yi Liangpin was a veteran after all. Faced with the siege of superior enemy forces, instead of defending on the spot, he used the maneuverability of the tank cluster to start a confrontation with the Japanese army with medium tanks as the forerunner.  With the impact of the tanks, the entire Japanese army's march was thrown into chaos.

    ??In fact, this battle has been a confused war from the beginning.  Yi Liangpin always thought that the Japanese army in front of him was the independent third mixed brigade currently stationed on the front lines of Jining, Fengzhen, and Zhuozishan.  It wasn't until the number of Japanese troops around them became larger and larger, far exceeding the strength of an independent mixed brigade, that something was wrong.

    The Sixty-ninth Division of the Japanese Army in front of them had no idea that the anti-alliance tank cluster would rush out of the Daqingshan Mountains, which they had always believed was impossible to pass through the tanks and armored clusters.  I didn't expect that the Anti-Japanese Alliance would deploy so many tanks to adopt deep and roundabout tactics on the front battlefield and still be in the midst of fierce fighting.

    Although the Guisui side has taken the lead, almost all the Mongolian garrison troops and the North China Front Army do not believe that the anti-alliance tank group will climb over the Yinshan Mountains, which is traditionally impossible to climb, and forcefully bypass the Wulanhua line.  Cross to Suinan.  In their impression, tanks are inseparable from road operations.

    Even if fighting in mountainous areas, it is impossible for a large number of tank groups to cross such steep Yinshan Mountains.  When the Japanese army raided the base areas behind enemy lines in North China, they used tanks more than once.  But those so-called tanks are actually a bunch of tracked armored vehicles, and they can only move along mountain roads.  Going over the mountains and ridges is simply impossible.

    ??Besides, all the Anti-Union tanks have been put into the battlefield. There are a large number of Anti-Union tank troops participating in the battle in Chadong and Manchuria.  Where could they go to find so many tanks?  Therefore, the entire North China Front army basically did not take it seriously after receiving the notification from Guisui.

    Nearly all the staff officers of the North China Front still believed that Lieutenant General Nishihara Issei was making a fuss out of a molehill, mistaking the small amount of harassment by the Communist troops in the Daqing Mountains as the main force of the Anti-Alliance attack.  Are you kidding me? The steep Yinshan Mountains are not low hills. There are many places where it is extremely difficult for tanks and infantry to climb over them.  A large number of tank attacks must be the illusion of Lieutenant General Nishihara Issaku.

    And Yi Liangpin, who was assaulting along the eastern front, did not expect at the beginning that he would encounter reinforcements from a division mobilized by the Japanese army from northern Shanxi at the front line of Jining at this time.  The strength of the Japanese troops inside and outside Jining City far exceeded the originally expected number.  At the same time, on the Datong to Jining section of the Pingsui Railway Line, more Japanese troops were arriving in a steady stream.

    ??In other words, the Sixty-ninth Division, which was originally used on the Chadong battlefield, was eventually intercepted by the main force led by Yi Liangpin and Chen Hanzhang who arrived later.  It can be said that for the current situation, neither the defending Japanese army nor the attacking Yi Liangpin were prepared at all.

    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, what was originally just a local encounter eventually turned into the beginning of a bloody battle of unprecedented scale.

    ¡° If the North China Front Army could make the fastest response in the shortest time when it received Nishihara Yice¡¯s request for help, the Sixty-ninth Division would not have been passive from the beginning.  Since the tank can cross the Yinshan Mountains and penetrate directly into the front line of Guishui.  So it is not difficult to go around Taolin and go straight to Jining.

    Since this judgment has been made, Jining will definitely strengthen its vigilance when the 69th Division passes through its jurisdiction.  At least security troops will be placed at various mountain passes in Taolin north of Jining, or in the plain areas between mountains.?.  In this way, the 69th Division would not be so passive even if it encountered Yi Liangpin's outflanking troops in Jining.

    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 anti-alliance roundabout troops, a considerable number of troops were blocked in the train carriage and beaten violently before they had time to get off the train.

    But the entire North China Front army did not take Nishihara Ichice's request for help telegram seriously.  From top to bottom, everyone stubbornly believed that it was impossible for tanks to cross the steep Yinshan Mountains and penetrate from Suibei to Suinan.  Guisui was definitely under siege, but it was definitely not as big of a threat as he said.

    At best, it was just some harassing attacks by the Chongqing troops in the Hetao area.  This type of attack is not uncommon in recent years.  In a raid the year before last, didn't the 1st Cavalry Brigade lose a cavalry regiment captain?  As for the few armored vehicles he modified in the Loop, they can be called a large-scale armored cavalry group. Lieutenant General Nishihara Issei was kidding.

    Besides, the fourth cavalry brigade has now been reorganized, and your cavalry group is now actually organized into two cavalry brigades.  Coupled with the directly subordinate artillery team, chariot team, and motorized infantry team, this strength far exceeds that of an ordinary division.  Facing several armored cars, how could he be so scared and yell?
