    Adopting this tactic requires a large number of troops, especially armored units. If this large roundabout tactic is implemented, the troops that need to be invested are not only the Fengtian battlefield, but also the eastern and southern fronts, and even the western front.  A large number of troops are used for coordination and support.

    But what the Anti-Japanese Alliance lacks most now is sufficient troops to meet this strategic need, especially when frontal assaults also contain a large number of armored units. Unless all tank units on the Western Front are transferred back, Yang Zhen will  There is not enough armored force to implement this strategy.

    Although this tactic has proven to be extremely successful on the Soviet-German battlefield, the Japanese army is not the Soviet army, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance is not the German army. Not only is the strength of the Anti-Japanese Alliance unable to compare with the huge mechanized armored group of the German army, but it is also a new armored force.  The use of various armor tactics is also far behind the German army.

    Therefore, although there are many difficulties, the most critical issue that made Yang Zhen give up this idea is that he believes that his troops are not yet capable of implementing such deep and roundabout tactics, especially the armored troops, which do not have this ability.  The combat and actions of the armored forces in this battle revealed a large number of shortcomings and flaws.

    Although these shortcomings are temporarily covered up by the results of the war, as the highest military officer of the entire army, it is impossible for him to only see the superficial glory. Yang Zhen, who turns a blind eye to the problems covered up by the glory, is still keenly aware of the current situation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  Although the size of the armored force is not small, there are many problems that urgently need to be solved, both in terms of organization and command.

    Unless the exposed problems are solved, the armored forces will not be able to bear the need for such large-scale, deep and roundabout operations, at least in the short term. Whether a unit can play its maximum role on the battlefield is definitely not just about  Whether the equipment meets the needs.

    What matters more is whether the tactical application can meet the needs, and whether the military literacy and theory of commanders at all levels are sufficient. To put it bluntly, it means whether the capabilities can meet the needs of the development of the situation. But the current performance of the armored forces, in Yang Zhen's eyes,  But it just cannot meet this need.

    Not only was the performance of the armored units participating in the Northeast battlefield not as satisfactory as Yang Zhen originally expected, but even if Chen Hanzhang personally commanded the Western Front, the large-scale roundabout operations and subsequent interspersed operations, in  During the battle, many weaknesses and shortcomings were also exposed.

    During Chen Hanzhang's interspersed operations, if it were not for the concentration of tank troops to cross the natural dangers of Yinshan Mountain and penetrate into Suinan from a place that the Japanese army could not imagine, the overall unexpected strategic intention was achieved, and the main force of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army deployed by the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area  All of them were also transferred out, and the entire vast area from Datong to Baotou was seriously lacking in troops, creating a prerequisite for Chen Hanzhang's surprise attack.

    This enables the armored forces invested on the Western Front to achieve strategic goals in a short period of time. Judging from the serious problems exposed alone, if this prerequisite is not available, it is still unclear what the outcome of the war will be. Armored  Large-scale detours of troops are no longer a new topic in current world military theory.

    But for the Anti-League, it is still a brand new field. There is still a long way to go before the Anti-League can truly master and skillfully use armored group assaults and applications. Commanders at all levels of the Anti-League armored forces still need  It takes a long period of training to truly become proficient on the battlefield.

    In addition, the current density of Japanese troops around Siping far exceeds that of Suinan, and the scale of the Japanese troops that can be invested in the follow-up battlefield in South Manchuria. Moreover, the mountainous terrain in Liaodong far exceeds the width of Yinshan Mountain and is not very suitable for armor.  Troops raided and penetrated long distances on a large scale.

    Without the participation of armored forces, the infantry, which cannot even be equipped with heavy artillery, can move around alone. Not only will the speed of progress be affected by the speed of infantry movement and the ability to attack difficulties, it will be extremely slow. Even the amount of troops invested will be far behind.  It exceeds what Anti-Lian can bear.

    Therefore, after overall consideration, when Yang Zhen was executing the Harvest Plan, Yang Zhen gave up the tactic of using tanks to attack the relatively weak flanks of the Japanese army, and finally decided to make a quick decision. As long as the purpose of launching the campaign was achieved, he would retreat immediately, which became a necessity.  s Choice.

    In addition, if the Kwantung Army is crippled now and the entire Northeast is recovered, it will not be in line with the strategic interests of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and even China as a whole. To cripple the Kwantung Army now, Nanman Manchuria will play an important role in the entire Japanese army's war layout.  From a physical point of view, this battle is bound to attract Japanese troops from other strategic directions.

    In this way, the weakest among the entire combat front against Japan assumed the heaviest combat responsibilities. In other words, the weakest resistance alliance had to resist the main force of the entire Japanese army and the heaviest offensive. This was undoubtedly  This is absolutely unbearable for the current Anti-League movement.

    Japanese people can choose to give up entryInvading Australia, you can choose to give up attacking India, but the Japanese will never choose to give up Southern Manchuria, or even the entire Chinese battlefield. If the Japanese could spit out some of the meat they swallowed, then maybe the entire Pacific War would not have really started.  Get up.

    Once the Japanese base camp thinks that there is a real danger that South Manchuria cannot be defended, they will immediately mobilize heavy troops to return to the Northeast to aid the Northeast. Then for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which has suffered heavy casualties and has almost reached its ultimate loss of combat effectiveness, then will it be  It would be a disaster.

    Not to mention that the Anti-Japanese Alliance is only one part of many aspects on the Chinese battlefield. Even China as a whole does not have the ability to bear the heavy burden of the current Japanese military's strategic focus shift across the board. It does not have the strength to compete with the Japanese army that has reached several million in size  The Japanese army, however, launched a comprehensive counterattack.

    The Japanese troops on various battlefields now are not the Japanese troops after the July 7th Incident. At that time, Japan did not carry out local mobilization due to the war of aggression against China. Although the scale of the Japanese troops invested in the Chinese battlefield was huge, it was always controlled as much as possible.  To avoid affecting the normal domestic economic order and shaking the national strength.

    In other words, until the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese could only be considered to have invested half of their body in the Chinese battlefield. Not only did the Japanese not enter the general mobilization, but they still had to maintain a large army and did not reduce their support for the navy and other aspects.  investment.

    They even have the energy and ability to ensure continued investment in Northeast China. The Japanese obviously do not want to hinder the normal domestic economic development and life for the sake of China. At the same time, they also prevent the Japanese army from continuing to work in the western part of China, which has complex terrain and is quite poor.  The desire to advance westward.

    After adding general mobilization, the inevitable damage to national strength, and Japan's own relatively weak national strength also destined it not to be in a state of general mobilization for a long time. Therefore, although China fought extremely hard against the Japanese army with limited mobilization,  But adopting the strategy of trading space for time can still be tolerated.

    But once the general mobilization is completed, the number of troops and strength Japan invests in the Chinese battlefield is definitely not something that China, especially the Anti-Japanese Alliance, can bear. Now that the Japanese have partially completed their mobilization, their military expansion is so great that once they abandon other fronts, all  Invest in China, and the current stalemate on the Chinese battlefield will be completely broken.

    Moreover, shortening the war time can certainly reduce the sacrifices of the Chinese nation and shorten the duration of the suffering of the Chinese people, but it will have a considerable impact on obtaining assistance from the United States and Britain.  The plan above will have fatal consequences.

    This is not that Yang Zhen is selfish, nor is he consciously conserving his strength. In addition to the fact that the Anti-Japanese Alliance has no power to completely defeat and annihilate the entire Japanese army in South Manchuria, the most fundamental thing is the sacrifices and sacrifices made by the Chinese in this war.  The price of suffering and whether actual gains can be achieved do not mean how much lost ground will be recovered on the battlefield or how much trauma caused by war will be reduced.

    Is it possible to achieve the true rise of the Chinese nation, instead of remaining a weak country that is only on paper, and can cut off a piece of flesh whenever others want, but it can only open its mouth to protest? National strength determines the fate of the country.  To truly build a strong China is not as simple as just talking.

    Although this war brought countless sufferings to the Chinese nation, it also gave the Chinese an opportunity to truly rise. However, as Yang Zhen knew about that period of history, China's political situation at the time did not fully utilize this opportunity.  opportunities, and the National Government does not have the ability to take on the responsibility of allowing China to truly take off and build China into a truly powerful country.

    What Yang Zhen wants is not what he has mastered. You are powerful on the surface, but extremely weak in nature. In fact, no one takes you seriously at all. You only get the name of a so-called big country by relying on the gifts of others. A weak person  A fat man, a so-called big country that can be divided by others, but the actual situation is not really any better than before the war.

    China lost Northeast China in the September 18th Incident, and lost Outer Mongolia permanently after the Anti-Japanese War, but did not even have the right to protest. Such a weak big country was of no use to Yang Zhen. Now he would rather bear the infamy than  We must go on unswervingly, because if his country becomes really strong, it will be a China that no foreign enemy dares to look down upon.

    Therefore, Yang Zhen believes that if we use all our strength now, it will fundamentally weaken Japan's fundamental potential to maintain the war. From the perspective of his overall plan, it is not a very cost-effective deal for the Chinese. On the battlefield, it can only be  The snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit, draining their own blood and allowing the United States and Britain to take advantage.

    In addition, the Anti-Japanese Alliance really does not have the strength at the moment to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Kwantung Army in one go, and completely liberate the entire Northeast, even if it is barely defeated?Under the counterattack of concentrated Japanese troops, it is impossible to hold it at all. It can even be said that once the effective forces are exhausted on the battlefield in South Manchuria, not to mention that South Manchuria cannot be held, even the original old base area will be difficult to hold.  .

    Yang Zhen also understands the principle that you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Now that he only has five ounces of food in his stomach, trying to hold on to two kilograms will only make him suffer. Back then, he only had half a kilogram.  The situation forced me to eat eight taels of food, and I had no choice. If I was still so desperate to swallow it now, I would be the only one who would die.

    Therefore, in the entire Harvester plan, Yang Zhen chose to fight quickly and stop immediately after achieving his goal, instead of delaying the war. He never even thought about inserting Siping from behind to complete the battle against Siping.  The encirclement of the main force of the Kwantung Army was not just a risk for him, but a fundamental strategic misstep.

    When the time was favorable, Yang Zhen did not adopt the tactics that Umezu Yoshijiro was worried about. Now that he had suffered a big loss in the Kwantung Army, he would not take this risk after being prepared.  In Yang Zhen's eyes, some things can only be done once. It would be foolish to think of doing it again. Repeating a method over and over again is extremely undesirable in Yang Zhen's opinion.
