    Although the Japanese army does not have many troops in Baotou, there are quite a lot of puppet troops that have been patched together. Although these miscellaneous puppet troops have poor combat effectiveness, under the supervision of the Japanese army, they hide in the fortifications and shoot outside.  But there was no big problem, and after these puppet troops knew that they were coming from the 18th Army, they resisted extremely fiercely.

    Baotou's city fortifications, because of its important strategic position, are extremely strong. In addition, it was the first time for the Jinsui troops to fight such a fortified city, and they lacked actual experience in attacking fortifications and cooperative infantry and artillery operations. This led to  The casualties during the battle were very heavy.

    After a tough battle, the backbone of the first column suffered heavy casualties. In addition to the main force, the 359th Brigade, which suffered more than half of its casualties and lost its combat effectiveness, the remaining three brigades also suffered heavy casualties. In addition to other large and small battles,  In this Baotou battle, the main casualties of the Jinsui Military Region reached more than 5,000.

    These casualties were all front-line combatants, even most of them were backbones. Some of the sacrificed battalion, company and platoon cadres were even old bones trained during the Red Army. The number of casualties after a tough battle made the commander of the Jinsui Military Region  Trembling with distress.

    Although after the recapture of Baotou, the Shanxi-Sui Military Region troops recruited more than 7,000 new recruits in Suixi and Suinan, the training of new recruits takes time, and the losses in a short period of time are temporarily irreparable, especially for combat backbones and grassroots cadres.  The loss is difficult to make up for.

    Excluding these casualties during the Baotou battle, excluding the two brigades that had to stay in Suiyuan from Baotou to the area south of the Yinshan Mountains in Jining, and the converted brigade of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment, the five main columns of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region can now  The troops invested in combat are even less able to meet needs.

    Now, except for the third brigade, the strongest unit in the army, which remains in Suiyuan, the first brigade lost more than half in the Battle of Baotou and will not be able to participate in the war in a short time. It also stays in the Jining area to train new recruits and carry out replenishment.  With five columns, only nine and a half brigades can actually be put into combat. Even with two columns of four and five, there is now only one brigade structure.

    This is the case for the main force. The actual strength of the remaining units that have been upgraded from local forces is even worse. The newly formed column currently in northern Shanxi has only more than 6,000 people for the two brigades combined. In addition to  In addition to the hundreds of troops directly under the column, the average brigade has only more than 2,000 troops.

    The entire column only had seven 92 infantry cannons, six rapid-fire cannons, two mountain cannons and a few mortars handed over by the Anti-Japanese League. Although the number of light weapons had received equipment seized from the Jining Battle by the Anti-Japanese League,  The configuration of all Japanese weapons is relatively sufficient, but the foundation is there. With more than 6,000 troops, excluding directly affiliated teams and non-combatants, the actual number of troops that can be put into front-line operations is less than two regiments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    With these more than 6,000 troops, even with the two regiments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it is quite difficult to encircle and annihilate the Zuojian detachment in the shortest time, let alone when fighting the Zuojian detachment.  , and also allocate some troops to guard against the 32nd Division in Taiyuan, which may appear in northwest Shanxi at any time.

    Moreover, after contacting the Jinsui Military Region, Chen Hanzhang also discovered that there is a very serious problem in the internal troops. The Anti-Japanese Federation is fully tilted towards the front-line troops in terms of staffing. There are strict regulations on the number of people at all levels. Whether the front-line combat troops are  Compared with the situation where the preparation and actual quantity are quite sufficient.

    The various units in the Jinsui Military Region, whether they are local units or front-line field units, have a considerable number of non-combatants. The establishment of directly affiliated teams at all levels is generally very large. There is even a division directly affiliated unit with five to six hundred people.  The situation arises, and the infantry companies of the front-line troops generally have about sixty or seventy people. It is common for each unit to be top-heavy.

    This kind of situation is almost impossible to occur in the Anti-Japanese War. It is equivalent to the armored force headquarters at the column level. The four major departments of the headquarters, political department, logistics department, and equipment and technology department. All the personnel of the agencies combined can only be  There are more than 200 people, which is incomparable to the direct team of a regiment here.

    There are many personnel in the government agencies, which will inevitably crowd out the number of front-line combat troops. If the agencies at all levels occupy too many establishments, the lower-level troops will have fewer front-line combat soldiers. They are the weakest in their own strength, and the limited population base cannot support a large number of troops.  In the context of military expansion, there are too many personnel in the agency, which is not a good thing.

    Chen Hanzhang believed that Yang Jicai's calculation was very accurate, but he ignored one thing, that is, the existing strength of the Jinsui Military Region. Not only the main force of the Jinsui Military Region is now limited in strength, but also the troops of the Jinsui Military Region staying in northwest Shanxi, not all of them are strong.  Able to fight.

    The Second War Zone has entered the Fangshan line with one army. Although it has stopped advancing northward, its move is due to the current domestic political situation and involves a large part of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region.No matter how tense the battle situation is in the north, a certain amount of troops must be left for defense in the south to prevent certain parties from taking advantage of the troubled waters.

    Don't block the Japanese attack here, but the Chinese stab you in the back behind your back. That would be really great fun. Maybe you have too little experience, or you have enough experience.  Arrogant, the only enemy in Yang Jicai's eyes was the Japanese army, but he did not consider many things outside the battlefield.

    After such calculations, Chen Hanzhang knew that the troops of the Jinsui Military Region could participate in this battle. He knew that with the current strength of the Jinsui Military Region, it was probably impossible to deal with the entire battle situation in northwest Shanxi alone.  This was also where he was dissatisfied with Yang Jicai's plan.

    Chen Hanzhang clearly knew that the most critical node in the entire western battlefield in this battle was about to come. Once the Japanese army launched a full-scale counterattack, it would be a comprehensive offensive. The entire north of Shanxi would become a huge battlefield, no matter what  Neither northeastern Shanxi nor northwest Shanxi can stay out of this fierce battle.

    I must be cautious in my deployment during the last period before the war, because once the bow is fired, there is no turning back. For the sake of caution, the main force of the Jinsui Military Region must all go south under the condition of limited strength, and  We cannot concentrate a brigade and go south as soon as we arrive at it, as is the case now.

    You must wait until the entire army is assembled before heading south, so that you can squeeze your limited strength into a fist and strike out with one hit. This is the most tactical action you should take at the moment. Otherwise, any delay on any battlefield will affect the situation.  overall progress.

    After hesitating for a moment, Chen Hanzhang looked at Yang Jicai and said: "Your original mission of going south to find the main force of the Zuojian detachment has been cancelled. You will stay with me and continue to serve as your chief of operations, specifically responsible for our troops and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.  Liaison with the Jinsui troops."

    "You record now. First, order the sixth column of the Jinsui Military Region under our command to strengthen a cavalry battalion and a battalion of field artillery. Set out from Luping, pass through Pianguan and Sanchakou, and enter to the west of Wuzhai to hide and wait. Please tell me  The commander of the sixth column asked him to avoid all inhabited places while marching, and the more concealed his whereabouts, the better.¡±

    "Secondly, two infantry regiments, two tank companies, one 122 howitzer battalion, and a 75th field artillery battalion were transferred. Mu Changqiu personally commanded the troops from Jingqianzhai and Yangwankou in Shuo County to the south to Ningxia.  Wu, and seize the Ninghua Fort between Ningwu and Jingle."

    "Tell Mu Changqiu that I don't care what method he uses, but let him remember one thing. When he goes south, the bigger the noise, the better. It would be best if the entire Taiyuan City is alerted. Order  All our troops stationed on the line from Shentou to Yanmenguan, except for some remaining troops, moved the main force to the line from Xishuo County to Shenchi, and ordered Wang Minggui to bluff in the west, assuming the posture of the whole army going south to fight. "

    "Third, mobilize the third automobile regiment attached to our unit and deploy all trucks on the front line from Daiyue to Yinshan. Fourth, order the logistics department to seize the time to stock up on ammunition, food, oil, and all other materials, especially artillery shells.  Be sure to stock up on as much as you can.¡±

    "Fourth, order all the troops of our army currently stranded in Suinan to immediately withdraw into northern Shanxi, and transfer all the current control areas to the Shanxi-Sui troops. Not a single soldier should be left behind. Datong Station is currently  All trains, including the six trains you brought back, are all heading north to leave the northern Shanxi area. Five, order the aviation group in the west to prepare for dispatch immediately. "

    "Send a report to the acting commander of the Jinsui Military Region, asking the remaining units of the Jinsui Military Region to conduct a rigorous search of the predetermined location. However, as long as the Japanese army does not take action, try not to alarm them as much as possible. At the same time, the Jinsui Military Region is requested to pay close attention to changes in the enemy situation around Taiyuan.  , especially the whereabouts of the 32nd Division, must be firmly grasped. "

    After Yang Jicai quickly recorded several of his orders, Chen Hanzhang turned his head and looked at the boss who was looking at the map and thinking, but said nothing about Chen Hanzhang's deployment: "My suggestion is to concentrate the main force of Jinsui and Jinsui.  All the artillery firepower of the military region surrounded and annihilated the main force of the left detachment.

    "The local troops currently staying in northwest Shanxi, as well as the few existing main forces, have all moved south to guard the front line of Fangshan. At the same time, the Jinsui Military Region must seize the time to deal with the cadres and soldiers of our army who were captured among the rescued prisoners of war.  review and conduct training.¡±

    "Don't worry about whether these captured personnel are from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Taihang or Taiyue Districts. After the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region went south, they were immediately replenished into the various regiments of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region. Such a large number of prisoners would be enough to defeat the enemy in a short time.  Enrich the strength of the Jinsui Military Region as soon as possible.¡±

    "But boss, when the troops of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region arrived at a brigade, they moved southward by one brigade. It is not possible to go south in such a scattered manner. If we decide to fight in the northwest of Shanxi?, the Jinsui troops are still the main force, so they must be clenched into a fist and punched out. I think that all the troops of the Jinsui Military Region who have returned to northern Shanxi will stop moving southward, and they will not all move southward until the entire army is assembled.  "

    "If we find traces of the Zuojian detachment before all the main forces of the Jinsui Military Region arrive, then we can go south to the Jinsui Sixth Column and the two anti-alliance regiments and put them on the battlefield first. Even if the thirty-two  The divisions are dispatched, and we also have a large number of vehicles that can transport the main force of the Jinsui Military Region to where it is needed as soon as possible. "

    "As for the battlefield in northwestern Shanxi, I think based on the current strength of each strategic group of our army, it is appropriate to concentrate all the main forces from Shanxi and Suizhou southward. With the few thousand troops of the sixth column currently in northern Shanxi, even with the addition of  I am worried that the strength of the two regiments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is still insufficient. If we add the main force of the Jinsui Military Region, we will be able to handle the situation in northwest Shanxi. "

    "This area is the old base area of ??Jinsui. The Jinsui troops are familiar with the terrain and people's conditions and can exert their maximum combat effectiveness. My suggestion is to use one regiment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, plus the Jinsui Sixth Column, and the local troops left behind in Jinsui to encircle and annihilate  This left detachment, the main force of the Jinsui Military Region, is deployed in the southeast of Jingle, responsible for guarding the Japanese troops on the front line in Taiyuan.
