Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    According to Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo, there was a regiment of troops on his left wing at the junction of Sanin and Yingxian, and they were fighting fiercely with the reinforcements of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  The 21st Division, which went north from Yanmen Pass, attracted most of the anti-alliance forces there.  Compared with the right wing, which has a large number of anti-alliance troops fighting fiercely with the three Japanese armies in northeastern Shanxi, the left wing poses almost no threat.

    And after he arrived in the Yingxian area, he also detached part of the search team to conduct a large amount of reconnaissance in the loess hilly areas in the northwest and northeast of Yingxian.  In addition to the two Jinsui brigades found in the northeast, only two battalions of anti-alliance troops who had fought with themselves on the Ruyuekou line were found in the northwest, a defense line based on the terrain structure.

    However, the two enemy battalions that suffered heavy losses in the previous battle were not very promising to Lieutenant General Tetsuzo Ide, who held two field infantry regiments, plus engineering, baggage, and search regiments.  Inside the eyes.  Therefore, he was confident and bold in deploying troops from the left wing to fight on the front line, and responded to the rear of the county defenders from the northeast of Ying County.

    As for why he chose the northeast where two Jinsui brigades were stationed when there was no obvious enemy situation in the northwest, it was because this man wanted to get in touch with the direction of Hunyuan as much as possible.  In order to cooperate with each other strategically.  If possible, it would be better to have direct contact with the Japanese army in Hunyuan.

    At the same time, for Ide Tetsuzo, the fact that no new enemy situation was found in the northwest direction does not mean that there is no enemy situation in the depth of the northwest direction.  The fact that the two battalions are incomplete does not mean that they have not deployed defenses on the second line in depth.  A regiment of his own has been deployed at Hengshan at the junction of Yingxian and Shanyin, and the 21st Division is already fighting fiercely with the enemy on the front lines of Zhangzhuang and Mayi.

    In the northwest direction, according to normal thinking, it is impossible for the enemy not to take precautions.  At least there will definitely be a second line of defense among the loess hills in the deep zone north of the Sanggan River.  The most critical thing is that the junction of Shanyin and Yingxian in the northwest is a loess hilly area, and the Sanggan River Valley plain must be crossed in the middle, which is not conducive to the current tactical thinking of wells out of Tiezang.

    Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Tetsuichi has been telling him that if you can go to mountainous areas, you should never go to the plains. Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo remembers this very clearly.  After crossing the Sanggan River in the northwest, we enter the Datong Basin with relatively flat terrain.  After crossing the narrow plain area of ??Sanggan River, there are hilly areas on the opposite side.

    Although the entire Sanggan River Valley is flat, the surrounding commanding heights are all under the control of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. This line is not suitable for Lieutenant General Ide Tetsubo.  The reason that finally made him decide to be vigilant in the northwest was the Sanggan River plain in the northwest.

    The Anti-Japanese Alliance has invested a large number of tanks in the entire northern Shanxi battlefield. Who knows if they still have other armored forces in their hands, waiting in hiding in the hilly areas on the north bank of the Sanggan River.  Once you enter the narrow plain area of ??Sanggan River rashly, the enemy may be using tanks to deal with you.

    The terrain there is long and narrow, and it is located in the area where the hilly area in the north faces the remaining veins of Mount Hengshan in the south.  It is the most suitable place for tank operations in the entire Yingxian area.  Once they were engaged in a fierce battle with the Anti-Japanese Alliance who were defending from the front, the Anti-Union tanks rushed out from the hilly area.  Then in the condescending terrain, he is likely to fall into a hard battle.

    What's more, in the previous battle at Ruyuekou, his 32nd Division suffered a lot from the two battalions of the Anti-Alliance.  If it were not for its absolute superiority in troops and firepower, and the tactics of frontal group charge and flank attack, which cut off the connection between the two battalions and the rear, Ru Yuekou might have been able to break through so quickly.

    Now I want to take a risk and give an explanation to General Okamura Neiji who is urging him to get angry every day.  At the same time, I also want to follow Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Tetsuichi's ideas and build Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo step by step.  In the end, we chose the northeastern mountainous area where we faced an obvious enemy, instead of the northwest direction which looked bland but was likely to be an iron walnut and might hit a wall.

    Although there is one of his infantry regiments on the flank in this direction.  Although this direction is relatively close to the 21st Division that is fighting hard at Yanmen Pass.  The overall cooperation with the 21st Division on the left will be more beneficial.  But Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo still did not want to lose too much in this direction.

    And in the view of the commander of the 32nd Division, the previous experience of breaking through Ruyuekou told him that although the Jinsui troops in the northeast have many troops, they cannot compare with the Anti-Japanese Alliance in terms of equipment and combat quality.  Compared with the anti-union which is as hard to bite and smash as the iron walnut, it is obviously a bit of a soft persimmon.

    Although there is currently no obvious enemy situation in the northwest direction, it is relatively calm.  However, the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which will definitely be deployed in depth, will not be able to launch counterattacks to support the county operations.  But once you actually encounter it, you will definitely be an iron walnut.  So after much hesitation, Ide Tetsuzo finally chose to take a large group to the northeast.??attack.

    It is better to fight against an opponent who is already facing the enemy than to blindly touch the elephant.  As for whether the enemy forces in the northwest have the ability to take the opportunity to counterattack the main force around Yingxian County, Ide Tetsou is still very confident about this.  He believes that the three major groups of Japanese troops in northern Shanxi are now cooperating with each other, and the anti-alliance forces facing them have been used to the extreme.

    If we talk about pure defense, they still have the possibility.  But at present, they are concentrating their forces to compress the 21st Division in the west, and they also have to face the iron triangle of the Northeastern Shanxi Imperial Army in the east. Even if there are hidden enemy forces in the northwest, they may not have many troops.

    The enemy soldiers captured on the Yingxian battlefield also confessed that they only had four battalions in Yingxian city.  The rest of the troops are still far away in Manchuria and are being transported to northern Shanxi.  As for when it will arrive, they don't know.  Anyway, they are fighting alone these days.  During this period, he did not receive any reinforcements, even from one class.

    Although there were not many captured anti-alliance soldiers in the Yingxian battle, there were only a few wounded.  But the confessions of these prisoners were even more trustworthy to Tetsuzo Ide than the reconnaissance of his own search team.  Because the reconnaissance of the search wing can only develop the enemy situation face to face.  But for the opponent's overall deployment, it is certainly impossible to see the full picture.

    Although there is not a single officer among them, the highest position is just that of a squad leader.  But the more the prisoners' confessions, the more Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo paid more attention to them.  Because for him, although these ordinary soldiers did not know much and could not provide much information, their confessions were often the most reliable.

    Especially after hearing that a division headquarters and a division commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were actually in Yingxian City, Ide Tetsou felt relieved to withdraw the troops from the northwest.  A division commander was in the city. The troops of the 32nd Division in the city were almost reaching their headquarters, but there was no movement in the northwest.

    That means that even the enemy forces in the northwest can only barely defend themselves with enough strength, and they have no strength at all to carry out reinforcements and counterattacks.  Otherwise, if a division commander is trapped in Yingxian City, wouldn't the surrounding enemy forces go crazy to rescue him?  Under this situation, Tetsuzo Ide believes that although there are only two enemy battalions in the northwest and there are no signs of a large number of troops in its depth, judging from the changes in the situation, there will definitely be  deploy.

    But under the current situation, I am afraid that the total force will not be too much, and it will not pose any threat to itself at the county level.  Therefore, even if the situation is calm at present, and as long as the 21st Division persists, this calm situation will continue on the left wing. If an infantry brigade is deployed, Ide Tetsuzo believes that his left wing will still not have any big problems.  .

    Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo sent only one infantry brigade, equipped with one squadron each of heavy machine guns, engineers, and mortars, plus a mountain artillery squadron to attack the northeast of Ying County. The commander of the Shanxi-Sui Sixth Column who will command the northeast defense of Ying County  , almost bursting his lungs.

    It is true that in the battle at Yue Kou, the six columns that had just been formed fought a bit embarrassingly.  Several of the most critical points were not maintained.  The defense line was overwhelmed by the Japanese army in a short period of time, resulting in a rapid breakthrough by the Japanese army and causing a certain passiveness to the overall situation.  But after all, the vitality was not injured, and there were still two brigades of troops.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? together with a large group of troops to attack yourself who occupies a favorable terrain.  On the front, in Yingxian County, there are only four battalions of the Resistance Alliance in the general offensive, but you have invested a full one and a half infantry regiments plus most of the artillery.  Ide Tetsuzo did this. Isn't it obvious that you are looking down on others?

    The commander of the Shanxi-Sui Sixth Column was furious and decided to concentrate all the forces of the two brigades.  Use one force to defend from the front and concentrate the main force to attack from both sides.  Strengthen all firepower and completely eat up the infantry brigade of the 32nd Division.  Let Lieutenant General Ide Tetsou take a closer look at the consequences of looking down on others, and what kind of price he will pay.

    In order to avenge the past humiliation, the veteran commander of the Sixth Column spoke in a very serious tone at the pre-war mobilization meeting.  If the brigade failed to fight well, the brigade commander and political commissar were dismissed on the spot.  If that regiment does not fight well, and if it continues to engage in free activities on the battlefield, the top military and political leaders will be directly dismissed from their posts, and the army will be deorganized.

    Cadres below the battalion level, including battalion commanders and instructors, whoever dares to cower during battle will be beheaded.  Cadres at all levels of the Sixth Column were shocked by the gloomy expressions and murderous words of the commander and political commissar.  Especially the words spoken by the always gentle political commissar made him smack his tongue in fear, but he also felt the determination of his superiors.

    In this battle in northern Shanxi, since the formation of the Sixth Column, nothing has been said on the surface.  But in fact, the newly appointed column commander and political commissar, two veterans from the Red Army period, have been competing with their brother troops in private.  Not only are they competing with the several old troops that were formed earlier, but they are also competing with the sameThe anti-alliance competition on the battlefield.

    Let¡¯s not talk about the time when the troops fought individually at the regiment level. At that time, everyone¡¯s strength was limited and there was no unified command. They could only play supporting roles on the battlefield.  But now the two brigades have been established. Cadres at all levels are veterans and have good practical experience.  All weapons and equipment have also been replaced with Japanese-made light and heavy weapons, and each brigade is also equipped with artillery.

    But now they can still only be regarded as supporting roles, which makes the two military and political officials extremely dissatisfied.  Others are fighting bloody battles there, but I am watching the battle here, which makes it uncomfortable for everyone.  Especially during the bitter battle in Yingxian County, the commander offered reinforcements several times, but Sui Changqing politely declined them all after receiving strict orders from Chen Hanzhang, which made him feel angry.

    In the battle at Ruyuekou, the troops did not perform well, causing the overall situation to be passive, making these two men obviously unable to hold their heads high in front of their brother troops.  We are all soldiers, and no one is less competitive.  The battle was not fought well before. After withdrawing to Yingxian County, he was transferred to the relatively safe northeast of Yingxian County.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Watching the anti-Japanese coalition defenders, who numbered no more than four battalions in Yingxian County, fighting hard under the siege of two Japanese regiments, but he could only wait here.  The two of them, who were already somewhat marginalized and unhappy in their hearts, happened to catch up with Ide Tetsuzo to do something like this. You can imagine how angry they were in their hearts
