    Jining is too important to the entire Japanese army in Suidong and Suinan. For the 110th Division and the 26th Division in Chadong and Chaxi, which are fighting hard, Jining is even quite important.  As for the lifeline, once Jining is lost and the 69th Division is lost, the entire North China Front Army will be completely divided in the Chahar and Suidong battlefields, together with northern Shanxi.

    Faced with the complex war situation and the current importance of Jining to the entire war situation, Okamura Neiji did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He even sent Lieutenant General Adachi 23rd, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, to Linfen to supervise the 41st Division.  The regiment assembled, and the four infantry brigades and two artillery squadrons of the 15th Division that rushed to Taiyuan did not wait for the 41st Division to arrive, and strengthened the three infantry squadrons drawn from the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade to go north first.

    The fatal order given by Okamura Neiji to Shimizu is that the troops of the 41st Division must complete their assembly within two days, ride on their vehicles, and must reach the Jining front line within three days. If the front army's order cannot be completed,  , he, Lieutenant General Shimizu, directly apologized to the emperor for committing seppuku.

    While Okamura Neiji was nervously adjusting his deployment, and at the same time receiving reports of the encounter between Yi Liangpin and the main force of the 69th Division on the Jining front line, Chen Hanzhang, who had just left Daqingshan, did not take any rest and speed up the attack.  Marching quickly, he led the troops straight into Zhuozi Mountain.

    On the one hand, he sent a report to Liu Changshun, who succeeded him, asking him to follow the plan he made before leaving, to invest all his forces from the breach that had been opened, and to concentrate no less than two tank battalions, plus the strength of an infantry division, to force the attack.  Interspersed with the area east of Jining.

    At the same time, a report was sent to the headquarters, hoping that the headquarters would coordinate the advance army to mobilize no less than one brigade of troops to launch an attack from Kangbao to Shangyi, and coordinate the Taiyue and Taihang Military Region troops in the pass to launch a large-scale attack on the Tongpu Railway Line.  The breakthrough battle entangled Japanese reinforcements, preventing them from gathering smoothly and delaying the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

    After receiving Chen Hanzhang's telegram, Yang Zhen immediately began to coordinate the follow-up support tasks. He mobilized two attack aircraft squadrons, two Il-4 bomber squadrons, a fighter group, and a transport aircraft squadron from the aviation force to arrive at Yan'an Airport and the newly recovered  Guisui Airport.

    These aviation units are specifically responsible for bombing the Tongpu Railway and conducting battlefield interdiction missions around the Jining battlefield. Although there are not many attack aircraft among them, they are already the few remaining attack aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Alliance that can be put into use immediately. Five  One-third of the troops.

    The tactical aircraft provided by the British only arrived at the end of last month. Although the aviation modification speed is very fast, they will not be put into use on the battlefield until next month at the earliest. As the main force of the American A-20 attack aircraft, they cannot all be put into use in northern Shanxi and Suizhou.  On the southern battlefield, other directions must be taken into consideration.

    The aviation force, which currently has no rice to eat, has no choice but to take advantage of the current cessation of air strikes on the Japanese mainland and transfer the remaining fifty-six Il-4 bombers to Yan'an for attack.  As for the modified legal MS 406 aircraft, the range is really too close.

    Even if a temporary airport is built to take off in the Shenmu area closest to Suinan in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, the flight range cannot reach Jining. Taking off from Yan'an Airport and unable to reach the Tongpu Railway, Guisui Airport can only be used as a take-off base.  Provide air support in the direction of Jining.

    Fortunately, Guisui is very close to Jining. Mu Changqiu also seized a large amount of aviation fuel stored by the Japanese army at Guisui Airport. In a short period of time, there is no need to find a way to transport fuel from the rear, otherwise even if Guisui  It is very close to Jining, but the airport there cannot be put into use because it cannot transfer large quantities of fuel and other materials in a short period of time.

    In addition to mobilizing a large number of aviation troops to provide air support to the Jining battlefield, Yang Zhen hesitated and transferred the reserve team of the last division in Linxi to the western front, and coordinated with the central government to transfer the originally planned Taihang, Taiyue,  The plan for the local armed forces of the Jinsui Military Region to cooperate with the Suinan operation will be implemented as soon as possible.

    At the same time, Yang Zhen told Chen Hanzhang in a telegram that he and the Eastern Front Group, which was crossing the southeast direction, should not rush into the Jining battlefield. Could it be considered to use its tanks and cavalry groups to find fighter planes to directly insert into the Fengzhen front line?  Completely blocking the passage for the Japanese troops in northern Shanxi to reinforce the Jining battlefield.

    In the direction of Jining, although Yi Liangpin currently has a weak force and cannot complete the encirclement and annihilation of the 69th Division, he can still contain the 69th Division in a short time by taking advantage of his mechanized troops. With Yi Liangpin  If the troops are insufficient, the troops flying the white flag can use the gap that has been opened to forcibly penetrate the left wing of the Jining battlefield.

    After receiving Yang Zhen¡¯s telegram, Chen Hanzhang, who had arrived at Zhuozi Mountain, carefully analyzed the surrounding enemy situation and the reinforcements that the Japanese army might mobilize, and immediately understood the idea of ????No. 1 and seized the front line of Fengzhen.?The road for the Japanese First Army in Shanxi to go north for reinforcements was completely blocked, and the entire Suinan and Chaxi battlefields became an isolated area.

    The troops flying the white flag have completed the encirclement of the 26th Division and are fighting fiercely with the 110th Division dispatched from Huade and Shangdu. The 69th Division has been inadvertently entangled in Jining by Yi Liangpin.  On the front line, before the arrival of new Japanese reinforcements, the entire northern Shanxi, except for the independent third mixed brigade dispersed to serve as garrison, was almost open.

    Fengzhen is the gateway to Suinan and the choke point for northern Shanxi to enter Suiyuan. If this rare fighter opportunity is used to seize the front line of Fengzhen with a time difference, judging from the terrain of northern Shanxi, it is completely possible to completely block the Japanese reinforcements from going north.  The most important thing is that it can cut off the Japanese supply lines on the battlefields of Suinan and Chaxi.

    However, Chen Hanzhang always felt that his actions were too small to seize the Fengzhen front line alone. Fengzhen was still too close to Jining and he did not have enough troops. Once the Fengzhen front line was broken through by Japanese reinforcements, it would have consequences for the entire Jining battlefield.  Considerable pressure.

    Moreover, the terrain of Fengzhen is not too favorable. Even with the troops on the Western Front, its own troop strength is quite limited. Under the terrain of Fengzhen, it is impossible to fortify everywhere. The Japanese army can completely bypass the front.  Block the position and break through your flank in a roundabout way.

    After carefully checking the enemy and enemy situation around Jining on the map, as well as the strength of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region and the Taihang and Beiyue Districts, he set his sights on Datong, the gateway to northern Shanxi south of Fengzhen. If Datong could be captured, the entire Sui  The southern battlefield can have a relatively wider depth.

    There is no need to worry about the danger that if the Japanese army breaks through Fengzhen, they can directly attack the Jining battlefield. The most important thing is that Datong is the intersection of the Pingsui Railway and the Tongpu Railway. Taking Datong is equivalent to cutting off the opportunities that the Japanese army can use.  There are two railway lines, and there are also roads that can be used from Liangcheng Line to Datong.

    At present, the frontal battlefield in the territory of the White Flag and the Sunit Right Banner has taken the initiative. The headquarters has allocated another division of troops to strengthen the frontal battlefield on the western front. The main force of the 110th Division has been mobilized to rescue the two soldiers.  After the 16th Division, there were actually not many troops to defend the passage from the frontal battlefield to Jining.

    If Liu Changshun can seize the opportunity, he can completely increase the number of troops on the Jining battlefield in time. Since he has made up his mind to take a gamble, he might as well make a bigger bet and lead his own troops directly into Fengzhen. The troops commanded by Mu Changqiu on the western front  Then it went straight into Datong, taking advantage of the fact that the entire Suinan Japanese army's attention was now attracted to the Jining front line, and made a deep and roundabout move southward.

    Chen Hanzhang, who thought about it and made up his mind to take the gamble, quickly adjusted the battle plan and ordered that Guisui had been captured and was advancing eastward. At this time, the Western Front Group, which had already reached the West Qingmen line, did not need to continue to advance eastward.  To the west of Chengxian County, they turned south and forcibly entered Shanxi from Shahukou, and forced a circuitous route to Datong along the highway from Youyu to Datong.

    Yi Liangpin, who was already fighting with the Japanese troops in Jining City, was ordered to cling to the main force of the 69th Division and wait for reinforcements from the frontal attack troops. Chen Hanzhang's order to Yi Liangpin was that the 69th Division should not be allowed to  The division slipped away and had to hold on until reinforcements from the front arrived.

    Chen Hanzhang himself led the rest of the troops, bypassing Manhan Mountain, passing through the west bank of Daihai Lake, and heading straight towards Fengzhen. At this moment, Guisui had been captured, and the Jinsui Military Region was besieging Baotou. Liangcheng was no more than a Japanese squadron, so it was not necessary.  Chen Hanzhang went to war, and even if he stayed there temporarily, it would not affect the situation of the war.

    Instead of passively waiting for the approval of the headquarters, Chen Hanzhang reported the report and began to gradually implement it. His troops did not wait for rest, and immediately turned around with tanks as the guide, along the east coast of Daihai, and forcibly penetrated towards Fengzhen as quickly as possible.  Mu Changqiu, who was receiving the telegram, had also completed the turn.

    By the time Yang Zhen received the report, Chen Hanzhang had already begun to take action. Looking at Chen Hanzhang's report, Yang Zhen was quite satisfied that Chen Hanzhang could understand his strategic intentions so quickly. As for the relationship between Chen Hanzhang's command and the Shanxi Army  Yang Zhen is not worried about the communication problem.

    Before Chen Hanzhang's roundabout departure, the headquarters had handed over all the codes and radio frequencies for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to communicate with the troops in Shanxi, Taiyue, Taihang, and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Beiyue Districts. The roundabout troops could communicate with all troops behind enemy lines in Shanxi at any time.  Conduct radio communications.

    At present, the left-behind corps of the Jinsui Military Region, as well as the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Beiyue District and Jizhong Military Region, which have withdrawn to northern Shanxi for rest and recuperation, have completed their assembly with Pinglu and Guyuan respectively, and are ready to cooperate with the southward roundabout troops commanded by Chen Hanzhang at any time to attack Datong and  The battle on the front line in Fengzhen.

    These troops are familiar with the terrain and well-informed. With their cooperation, Chen Hanzhang¡¯s roundabout troops should not be able toWhat big problems will arise? The only thing to worry about is that if Chen Hanzhang can really capture Datong, he will really hit the weakness of the entire North China Japanese army.

    If Yi Liangpin's raid on Jining hit seven inches of the Suinan battlefield, then Datong, the headquarters of the Mongolian garrison, was the weakness of the entire Japanese army in North China. If Jining was lost, the entire Suinan battlefield of the Japanese army would be the same as  The connection between northern Shanxi and northern Shanxi has been cut off, and the Japanese army on the Suinan battlefield will be cut off from northern Shanxi and become a lonely army.

    But if Ke Datong is lost, not only will the Suinan battlefield be completely cut off, but the Japanese flanks on the Chanan battlefield will also be under threat from the Anti-Alliance. If necessary, Chen Hanzhang can command the troops at any time along the Sanggan River Valley or on the plains.  The Datong-Zhangjiakou section of the Sui-Sui Railway went straight behind the Japanese troops in Zhangjiakou.

    If Chen Hanzhang really appears in this direction, according to the current extremely tight front line in Cha'nan, there is a possibility of collapse at any time. If Chen Hanzhang chooses to continue southward, then Taiyuan, and even the entire Shanxi Province, may be in the anti-alliance crisis at any time.  Within attack range.

    The most important thing is that Datong is the gateway to Shanxi. Taking the Datong line means that the door to the entire Shanxi has been opened. Shanxi is located on the Loess Plateau, with rivers and mountains inside and outside, facing northern Shaanxi across the Yellow River to the west, and overlooking the Taihang Mountains to the south.  In the North China Plain, Shanxi was captured, and the entire North China Plain was under the gunfire of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
