    After Yang Jicai pondered for a moment, he pointed to Taiyuan on the map: "I can now conclude that the 32nd Division has been in Taiyuan. It is definitely not just resting and replenishing, but is on standby and hoarding ammunition. They are waiting.  , after our army verified the location of the Zuojian detachment, in order to protect the base of our army in northern Shaanxi, we took the initiative to open up the entire gap behind us. "

    "Our biggest advantage now is that the Japanese army may not be aware that the main force of our Jinsui Military Region is rushing back at night. Most of its troops have arrived in northern Shanxi. What I mean is to use our army to attack Baode and Pianguan.  To control the front line, the Jinsui Military Region dispatched no less than two brigades of troops to secretly move south. "

    "The rest of the main force must be hidden in northern Shanxi and wait. In other words, when we attack this left detachment, we should not use the main force of the Jinsui Military Region and delay the Japanese army as much as possible. We found that the main force of our Jinsui Military Region has returned to northern Shanxi.  Time, otherwise all the main forces of our Jinsui Military Region would go south, but it would be easy to alert the enemy and make the Japanese army change its original strategic intentions. "

    "But the main force of the Jinsui Military Region should not go south and stay in the northern Shanxi area to wait secretly. We will deploy the two regiments currently fighting in Shenchi and Ningwu, and add a column from the Jinsui Military Region currently in northern Shanxi.  A public and highly publicized search southward.¡±

    "With the strength of one column from Jinsui, plus the strength of the two infantry regiments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the strength of the two Jinsui brigades that secretly detoured from the Pianguan and Baode lines, I think it is enough to encircle and annihilate this Zuojian detachment.  And no matter what Neiji Okamura's true intention is, even if the 32nd Division's next move is to advance westward, these troops plus the troops currently left in the northern Shanxi base will be enough to deal with it in a short time. "

    "The most important thing is that once our troops move south, I estimate that the left detachment will show up on its own, and even make a bluff movement to the west, allowing us to find it conveniently, otherwise we will not be able to defeat too many of our troops.  The troops were drawn south, so Okamura Neiji could find enough openings for him to take advantage of. "

    "Through a series of battle processes since the start of the battle, Okamura Neiji has figured out the combat effectiveness of our army. In addition, the Japanese army transferred our army's old opponent from the Kwantung Army, the former Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, Yoshimoto Sadataka.  As the commander of the First Army, he knows very well that under the intensive defense of our army, it is almost impossible for them to recapture northern Shanxi, or even the entire Suiyuan."

    "Even if northern Shanxi can be recaptured, with the combat effectiveness and equipment of our army, the price paid by the Japanese army may be unbearable by the North China Front Army and even the entire China Expeditionary Force. It was with this view that Okamura Neji decided to  Determined to change its past practice of swarming in and deploying troops one after another.¡±

    "By raiding our base areas behind enemy lines, and even using the attack on northern Shaanxi as bait to attract our troops to disperse their forces, mobilize our troops outside the front line of the Great Wall, and then use Shanxi's mainly mountainous terrain to adopt the roundabout tactics commonly used by the Japanese army.  , defeat our army one by one."

    "Since he is willing to take out a brigade-level detachment to take this risk, he will never let us big fishes be in danger of decoupling. I think no matter what his true intention is, it will never change.  Zong, luring us to divide our forces is his ultimate goal.¡±

    "So, my suggestion is to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army may not have control of the main force of our Jinsui Military Region and has returned to northern Shanxi. With the first section of our Jinsui Military Region currently stationed in northern Shanxi, we can go south to look for fighter planes to encircle and annihilate this left detachment, while Shanxi  The main force of the Sui Military Region is secretly deployed on the front line of Hongtao Mountain."

    "But this deployment must be as hidden as possible. If the Jinsui Military Region can ensure that the whereabouts of such a large-scale force will not be exposed in a short period of time, the hidden standby location can even be moved southward to within the Inner Great Wall, or even  We can consider sending the troops directly south to the Yunzhong Mountains to wait secretly.¡±

    "Whether the 32nd Division is preparing to outflank our troops going south, or use this gap to penetrate the left flank of the battlefield in northern Shanxi, the main force of the Jinsui Military Region can give it a hard blow on its flank. The Japanese army is not here to play with us.  Is it a trick to attack the north with one hand? Why can't we treat others the same way and treat them the same way? "

    "We have to do enough to lure out the 32nd Division, but Commander Chen must retain at least a considerable number of reserves as mobile troops, because at this time there is still a second division at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei.  The 11th Division, I estimate that when our troops go south to attack, the 21st Division should start taking action."

    "As for the battlefield in Northeastern Shanxi, I suggest that we invest more troops. Not only should we attack instead of defend, but we should also beat the 69th Brigade, Wuuchi Detachment, and Mountain Village Detachment, and completely tear them apart in Northeastern Shanxi.  If he can take the lead in the triangle situation formed by annihilating one of them, Okamura Neiji will be the one who is anxious. Since all the bait has been eaten, he cannot??It's time to use the old capital.  "

    "In a word, we still have to make preparations, but we still have to carefully consider how to do it. It seems that the Japanese army is deliberately muddying the water in order to fish in troubled waters, but I think if we do enough  After preparation, it¡¯s not certain who will be the fish caught.¡±

    Yang Jicai's idea made the boss deep in thought, but Chen Hanzhang shook his head slightly after thinking about it for a while. In his opinion, this plan at least looked good, but it made people feel unconstrained and not very safe.  He felt that his vision was too narrow. His calculations were precise, but his considerations were not comprehensive. At least he did not take into account the current situation of the Jinsui Military Region troops.

    With just two regiments of his own, plus a two-brigade column and two brigades in the Jinsui Military Region, it is indeed not a big problem to take down the Zuojian detachment, but in the case of mountain combat  , no one can guarantee this progress. Once the war drags on and the 32nd Division really moves westward, it is likely to have serious consequences.

    The 21st Division is quickly replacing equipment suitable for mountain operations and increasing the configuration of mules and horses. It is certain that this 21st Division will not invest in other aspects. In the Chanan battlefield, the Japanese army has mobilized the 48th Division to participate in the battle.  Under the circumstances, the 21st Division could only be placed on the Shanxi battlefield.

    It is really worrying whether the remaining troops of the Jinsui Military Region alone, even with the two transferred brigades, can hold down a division when they have to deal with thousands of Japanese troops.  The main force of the two main brigades of the Jinsui Military Region secretly went south to the front line of Yunzhong Mountain to wait in hiding. But what if the Japanese army also committed all the 21st Division to the battlefield in northwestern Shanxi.

    Moreover, just one column and two brigades in the Jinsui Military Region, plus the strength of the two brigades drawn from the main force, may not fool Okamura Neji. On the contrary, it will disperse the originally weak strength of the Jinsui Military Region.  He turned his troops that were originally clenched into fists into a slap, and it was a slap that leaked wind.

    The most critical thing is that a brigade in the Jinsui Military Region, including its directly affiliated teams and non-combatants, has only more than 3,000 troops. The two newly formed brigades left behind only have more than 2,000 troops. This is not yet  Considering whether the newly formed troops' ability to cooperate with each other meets the standards and requirements.

    The four brigades invested according to his ideas totaled no more than 10,000 troops. These troops, even if they were added to the two full regiments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, had to deal with the main force of the left detachment and also had to fight when necessary.  At that time, I was afraid that I was still a little weak in blocking the 32nd Division. I was afraid that my troops would be dispersed and used, which would disperse my already insufficient strength and delay the encirclement and annihilation battle against the Zuojian Detachment.

    It can even be said that with the troops of the Jinsui Military Region in northern Shanxi, plus the troops staying in the base area, it will be very difficult to take down the main force of the Zuojian detachment. If the 32nd Division also participates, even if it is to dispatch a detachment  In terms of military strength, I am afraid that even if all the main forces of the Jinsui Military Region are included, it will be difficult to win.

    Yang Jicai's abacus was very good, which Chen Hanzhang did not deny, but Chen Hanzhang believed that Yang Jicai missed one point, that is, the number and structure of the main force of the Jinsui Military Region, that is to say, the strength of one brigade, was not what he imagined.  That quantity, this point, is the most fatal thing in his thinking.

    The Jinsui Military Region is located in the northwest of Shanxi. Its insufficient population and poor resources have made the development of the troops of the Jinsui Military Region slower than that of other regions. In addition, the troops of the Jinsui Military Region were transferred back to northern Shaanxi and transferred to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.  The overall strength of the military region's partial forces is the weakest among the military's major strategic regions.

    Although its weapons and equipment have been fully renovated by the Anti-Japanese Alliance and after the main force of the advancing army moved northward, it has become the best in all major strategic areas of the entire army in the pass. However, due to the limitations of the population and resources in the area, its number of soldiers is seriously insufficient, and its development will continue.  The fatigue is quite obvious.

    If it hadn't been for the 120th Division's deployment to Hebei Province in the past few years and the recruitment of more than 10,000 new soldiers, I am afraid that the development of strength would have been even worse. Even if the central government did not hesitate to weaken its own defensive forces, the reinforcements transferred over, and the central government's withdrawal from last winter  Among the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region who were resting in the Jinsui area, three regiments were transferred to the Jinsui Military Region to supplement them, and their number of troops was even smaller.

    However, even though the central government spared no effort to replenish troops for Jinsui in order to prepare for this battle, the limitations of the layout made the troops of the Jinsui Military Region always insufficient. After reorganization and expansion, the entire army only had five columns and twelve columns.  Brigade zero three cavalry regiments.

    Of course, the whole army looks very impressive, but in fact, except for the 1st and 3rd brigades, which are used as fist troops, and have three complete infantry regiments under their jurisdiction, all the other brigades are  It is a two-team organization. After excluding the teams directly under the agencies at all levels, the cultural and technical teamThere are even fewer non-combatants such as regiments and actual front-line combat troops.

    Among the five columns, the first column used as a fist force is the most well-equipped and well-organized. It has four infantry brigades and one cavalry regiment, but the total number of the entire column is only 15,000. The remaining four columns  They are two infantry brigades, one directly under the eighteen-gun artillery regiment.

    The average number of each of these four columns is less than 8,000, including the direct-affiliated troops. There are twelve brigades of the main force fighting on the Great Wall, plus the directly-affiliated artillery and cavalry, the total number of the entire army is less than 50,000.  The remaining 50,000 people can be dispatched, which is already the maximum amount of troops that the Jinsui Military Region can mobilize.

    Among the five columns, the one used as the backbone and fist had the heaviest task in the entire Baotou battle, but the four main brigades under its jurisdiction suffered the same number of casualties during this outbound combat operation.  The largest of the several columns of the main force of the Jinsui Military Region.

    Now excluding the expanded recruits, the remaining combat effectiveness of the four brigades in the entire column is less than half of what it was before the troops were dispatched. Grassroots cadres such as companies and platoons have lost Judas. The 359th Brigade, which is the main force in the offensive, is the main force in the Jinsui Military Region.  One third of the casualties were lost, and combat effectiveness was lost within a short period of time.
