    Yang Zhen's judgment of the situation was very clear. Although he showed that he would not be too greedy for success, he also showed his stubbornness to a certain extent, which made the boss shake his head in silence. After a long time, the boss finally said: "You,  You are always too confident. I can¡¯t say you are wrong for being confident, but being overconfident is dangerous. Any accident can happen on the battlefield. If you don¡¯t have enough reserves, how can you deal with accidents?¡±

    "On the battlefield, as the highest military commander, you must keep enough reserves in your hands. This is common sense that all battalion commanders know. Why are you so stubborn now, holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers with the best equipment and training in the entire army?  Army, take this risk that you could have avoided."

    "As a battlefield commander, the most important thing is to always keep a calm mind. The situation on the battlefield does not remain unchanged. It will always change fundamentally with the changes in the forces invested by both the enemy and ourselves. As a commander, it is  When necessary, there needs to be a certain spirit of risk-taking and even gambling.¡±

    "But I don't advocate taking the whole army to make a comprehensive gamble in such a large-scale battle. We can't do things where all the money is used up. As a commander, you must be prepared for everything. You will  The whole situation is relying on the Kwantung Army to protect Nanman, which is really too risky. "

    "I admit that what you said is very reasonable. The perspective of analyzing the problem is also judging from the overall situation. But there is one thing, I don't know if you have seen it. It is precisely because of the importance of South Manchuria in the entire strategic pattern of the Japanese army.  Location may become the biggest variable in this battle.¡±

    "The Japanese army has not yet mobilized the main force of its Korean army. Once the main force of the Korean army crosses the Yalu River and joins the Northeast battlefield, or even directly outflanks your flanks from North Korea, what will you do then? With your current strength on the eastern front,  Even though we have favorable terrain to rely on, we are still at an absolute disadvantage.¡±

    "Don't forget that North Korea is connected to the Northeast by mountains and rivers. The Japanese army has invaded China. The first one was the Kwantung Army, and the second one was the North Korean Army. Although you currently control the northeastern part of North Korea, the threat from the North Korean Army is still there.  It has not been completely resolved. The most important thing is that the Korean army is still fully equipped. "

    "You have had more than one encounter with the Japanese army. Frontal assault and flanking detours are the Japanese army's consistent combat methods. If the Japanese army really uses the Korean army to detour to the east, how can you deal with the situation? Your entire flank depth  , will all be exposed to the Japanese gunfire, I just want to know what you will do then."

    Faced with the worry that could not be concealed in the boss's tone, Yang Zhen remained silent. He could tell the boss that the current situation was caused by him consciously. If the current situation were  When he launched the campaign, he still hadn't expected it, so the battles he had fought in the past few years would have been in vain.

    He bluffed, using his past record against the Kwantung Army, to scare the Kwantung Army's top brass with four points, and then invested six points with real power to utilize the Kwantung Army's mentality. First, he weakened one level of psychology, and firmly held the main force of the Kwantung Army.  In the Northeast battlefield, it puts itself into a passive position strategically and puts itself into a trap when it comes to the use of troops.

    With Southern Manchuria as the target of attack, the Japanese base camp not only dared not mobilize troops from the Northeast battlefield, but also put at least half of its energy on the Northeast battlefield. This way, the Kwantung Army, the Japanese base camp's biggest strategy, was true and false, false and true.  The group is contained within the Northeast.

    The stratagem, supplemented by large-scale armored cluster assaults, psychologically overwhelmed the Kwantung Army, causing the Kwantung Army to hesitate again and again every time it took action. It gave up the strategic initiative to itself, leaving the Anti-Alliance at a disadvantage in actual strength.  Being able to seize the initiative was the main tactic adopted by Yang Zhen on the Northeast battlefield.

    In fact, when Yang Zhen was formulating the plan, he had already taken into account the current total strength of the Japanese army, including the forces that the Japanese army could mobilize in the short term. The remaining Japanese army in the mainland was  There are not that many troops that can be mobilized in a short period of time.

    Although the Japanese army's war in the Southeast Asian battlefield has come to an end, it does not mean that they can rest easy. First, they must prepare for the counterattack of the American and British troops and deploy defensive forces in important strongholds in the South Pacific. Second, they must consolidate the occupied areas and ensure the occupation.  stability of the region and preparations for plundering strategic resources.

    Even if the indigenous people of Southeast Asia welcomed and cooperated with the Japanese army under the banner of liberation, the Japanese army also did a lot of preliminary work before invading Southeast Asia, but this does not mean that the current Japanese army can sit back and relax. According to the Japanese army's ongoing  Judging from the scale of the Burma operation and the New Guinea operation, even if these two battles are over, the Japanese army can deploy three divisions, which is already its limit.

    Japan¡¯s Mainland Until NowAs of now, general mobilization has not yet been carried out. With Japan's national strength, it is simply unable to bear the impact of premature general mobilization on the economy and national strength. Coupled with the previous large-scale expansion of the Japanese army and the need for the navy to replenish its troops, the actual strength of the Japanese army  The supplement is not as good as the boss imagined.

    In fact, among the divisions currently being expanded by the Japanese army, many are formed by an infantry regiment taken from the original four-unit division, and some are simply expanded from the original independent mixed brigade. Among the supplementary troops, the two mobilized  There are a lot of veterans who served for the first time.

    Moreover, the Japanese mainland is far from implementing universal national mobilization, and the speed and efficiency of troop replenishment are not high. After many expansions, the firepower of its divisions has not increased but declined. The strength of each division has also been compared with the Sino-Japanese War.  At the beginning of the outbreak, nearly half of the troops were reduced.

    Although the combat effectiveness of most divisions has not declined on a large scale due to the reduction in strength, the independent combat capabilities of each division are far from what they were before. Including the Kwantung Army, the increase in strength is at least half.  It was reorganized after the original division was split into two and mixed.

    In the battlefield inside the pass, unless the Japanese army abandons any of the occupied areas such as Central China, South China, or East China, the number of troops they can mobilize is limited. Even if the Japanese army is arrogant, they still need troops to stay in such a large occupied area. Now  Within the pass, except for ammunition, most of the military supplies of the Japanese army could only be supported by fighting. As a result, the Japanese army needed to keep more troops in various control areas within the pass.

    Before the Anti-Japanese Alliance launched this battle, these situations were carefully calculated. Yang Zhen carefully calculated the number of troops that the Japanese army might invest. At the same time, he mobilized all internal resources to understand the Japanese army's positions in the entire Chinese battlefield and Southeast Asia,  Reserve forces in the Pacific Theater.

    Yang Zhen did this because he knew that his military strength was really unsustainable, but he had to fight this battle, or even fight it lightly. He adopted a large-scale psychological warfare. At least for now, the results are still acceptable.  Yes, the Kwantung Army always placed its main force south of Xinjing and around Siping Street, but did not dare to dispatch a single soldier to reinforce the Rehe battlefield.

    Even in Chifeng and Chengde, at the most critical moment, not a single soldier was mobilized for reinforcements. When all the outer strongholds of Chengde were lost and a section of the advancing army had reached the main entrance of Chengdeli, the Kwantung Army took the initiative to defend Chengde.  The remaining troops all withdrew from Chengde and voluntarily abandoned this famous city outside the Great Wall, which had been the provincial capital since the establishment of Jehol Province.

    In order to shrink its troops and make every effort to ensure the safety of the puppet Jinzhou Province and the Beining Railway, the Kwantung Army withdrew its defense line in Rehe to Qinglong, Lingnan, Beipiao, and Chaoyang. Although two divisions were invested, it was always  Putting on a defensive posture, the two sides faced each other across the Laoha River and Nuruerhu Mountain.

    Although artillery battles continued all day long, and fierce battles between small units on both sides occurred almost every day, there were never any large-scale military operations. Compared to the entire front, the Rehe battlefield is currently the calmest battlefield.  , it was obvious between the two armies that no one wanted to stir up trouble at this time.

    At this time, there is no such thing as psychological warfare, and feints are only in the early stages of the battle. In this situation, how can Yang Zhen explain to his boss that he is trying to scare the Kwantung Army? If he says this, others will not be able to  He said he was so arrogant that there was no limit to it.

    Yang Zhen didn't want to explain anything. The boss looked at Yang Zhen's solemn expression and didn't say anything. The two of them were quietly in the reception room, waiting for something. However, this calmness did not last long. Yang Jicai was there.  All the tasks sent from Taiyuan had been completed, and the telegram requesting headquarters to assist in the retreat broke the peace in an instant.

    After receiving Yang Jicai's telegram, Yang Zhen quickly adjusted his deployment and ordered all aviation forces around the Shanxi battlefield to dispatch. They immediately followed the predetermined plan and provided maximum fire support to cover the retreat of the Taiyuan troops. He ordered Chen Hanzhang and Wang Minggui to immediately mobilize their troops and march out of Shuo.  County, seize Ningwu to cover Yang Jicai's retreat.

    The boss also ordered the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Division, the troops of the Southern Hebei Military Region and the two independent regiments of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region that had already entered the vicinity of Taiyuan, to immediately launch a diversionary attack behind the Japanese troops around Taiyuan.  Troops semi-besieged by the Japanese army and dismantled machinery and equipment were rushed out.

    After receiving the telegram personally from the boss, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Second Division Headquarters also mobilized the only regiment in hand to seize Xinxian County to cover the retreating train formation.  All bomber groups with night flying capabilities were dispatched to launch large-scale air strikes around Taiyuan.

    Especially when the Il-4 bomber group just transferred from the Northeast was dispatched to launch a large-scale air attack on various positions of the 32nd Division in the east of Taiyuan City, Yang Zhen repeatedly warned that the Japanese army only had the cover of field fortification groups.In this case, use napalm whenever possible.

    At the same time, Yang Zhen ordered that when necessary, the sixteen remaining special aerial bombs in the entire northwest battlefield stored at Guisui Airport should be used. Looking at the words "special aerial bombs" written by Yang Zhen on the telegram, the boss hesitated.  After a while, he finally didn¡¯t ask anything.

    After receiving Yang Zhen's handwritten telegram, Chen Hanzhang without any hesitation immediately mobilized four cavalry battalions of the already assembled cavalry brigade, accompanied by a tank battalion and an infantry regiment, to force a large-scale attack from Shuo County to the Tongpu Railway.  In the interspersed battles, the goal was not just Ningwu, but to forcefully break through Yanmen Pass and penetrate directly into the Guoxian and Yuanping lines.

    The aviation forces stationed at various airports in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, Guisui, and Jining also suspended support for other fronts. All bomber groups took off and headed towards Taiyuan City. Eight of the Il-4 bombers were hung with  Sixteen 500-kilogram air-fuel bombs, the so-called special aviation bombs written in Yang Zhen's telegram.

    The reason why the boss wanted to ask was because he didn't know what these so-called special aerial bombs were. He thought that these so-called special aerial bombs were poison gas bombs commonly used by the Japanese army and were codenamed special bombs.  , the boss knew very well that there were a large number of gas bombs seized by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
