Wang Guangyu placed his finger on Xinjing in the southeast of Qiqihar and said: "Although we are not yet able to capture Southern Manchuria, or even Jilin Province. But Xinjing is the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and it is also the so-called Once Xinjing, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, is lost, it will mean that the Kwantung Army's rule in the Northeast has been completely defeated."
"Chen Hanzhang's troops' actions in Qiqihar, judging from the topography, are not just targeting the areas west of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Attacking from Qiqihar can certainly advance to the Xing'an provinces in the west, but it can also outflank Xinjing in the east and cut off the medium- and long-distance railway lines. ¡±
"If Chen Hanzhang's troops attack eastward from Qiqihar and directly penetrate the front lines of Qian'an, Huaide and Changling, it will depend on the cooperation between the troops attacking from the front and the troops on the eastern front. Not only Xinjing, but also the Kwantung Army is currently deployed in echelons. The heavily-armed groups north of Xinjing are likely to be surrounded by our troops."
"In view of the importance of Xinjing to the Kwantung Army and the overall consideration of the terrain of the two theaters, I think as long as we hide the true strategic intentions of Chen Hanzhang's troops, as for other actions, it is not necessary to deliberately conceal them, but it is appropriate Making some noise can attract the attention of the Japanese army."
After saying this, Wang Guangyu hesitated for a moment and then said: "No. 1, I have always had an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not. You see, our intention in this battle is to open up land connections with the pass. In other words, By reaching Rehe, this strategic intention is basically realized.¡±
"Judging from the report forwarded from the headquarters, the Guan Nei troops have guerrilla bases in Chengde, Fengning, Luanping, and Qinglong in Renan. As long as we hit Renan, we have basically completed our mission. And from the current situation in Guandong Judging from the military deployment situation, the Japanese military forces are currently concentrated on the front of Xinjing.¡±
"In the main combat areas of our army, the main strength of the Japanese army is only one, the 23rd Japanese Division, which is currently resting and reorganizing on the front lines of Bahrain Left Banner, Bahrain Right Banner, Alukorqin Banner, and Zalut Banner. As long as we head-on the Kanto area north of Xinjing The heavy army group has restrained them from sending reinforcements to the west, and there is not much resistance to us completing the entire combat plan before reaching Jehol."
"The real focus or battle should be the North China Front Army in the south and the Mongolian garrison army on the western front when they arrive in Rehe. I'm afraid there won't be any big battles on the entire western front before arriving in Rehe. No. 1, Do you think our current strategic plan of falsely attacking Xinjing, attracting a large number of Kwantung Army troops, and attacking southwestward with all our strength is a bit too conservative? Should we make some adjustments to the entire combat plan?"
"Before arriving in Rehe, in the first stage of the campaign, the four divisions, one armored brigade, and one cavalry brigade currently deployed in Lingxi were completely sufficient to face a half-disabled 23rd Division. . Apart from deploying an additional division to seize Taonan and Zhanyu after the campaign is launched to ensure the flank direction of the entire campaign, there is no need to increase the number of troops at all. "
"Do you think that in the first phase of the battle, Chen Hanzhang's troops will be used eastward in the direction of Xinjing? In cooperation with Du Kaishan and Wang Xiaoming in the frontal attack, Tao Jingfei and Liu Changshun's troops on the eastern front will take advantage of our army's mechanization. Make every effort to encircle and annihilate the heavy Japanese army group deployed north of Xinjing, recapture Xinjing, and remove the banner of the Kwantung Army's rule in the Northeast. "
"As for the Western Front, when our army reaches the Rehe line, Chen Hanzhang's troops will have enough time to move south. We have a large number of cars on hand, and we can also use the railways in enemy-occupied areas. If necessary, A large number of troops can be quickly transported in any direction at any time."
"No. 1, it's not just me. Several divisions accounting for one-third of our army's strength, as well as a large number of armored and heavy artillery units, are used in one direction. There is only one Japanese division that needs to be dealt with in the entire combat area. Isn¡¯t this a bit wasteful?¡±
"On the Xinjing front line, a large number of Japanese troops have been deployed, and the communication lines are well developed. As long as the heavy troops deployed where the Japanese troops are deployed are solved, to put it bluntly, we can attack the remaining places wherever we want? Let alone seizing Xing'annan Province and Xing'anxi Province, it is not impossible to seize the entire Jilin Province. "
"The most important thing is not to eliminate the heavy Japanese army group. If we don't fight, the Kwantung Army will be completely damaged. Even if we open up the communication line, if we cannot leave too many troops for defense, the communication line will be destroyed at any time. There is a possibility of being cut off by the Japanese army again. In particular, although the Jehol area is under the jurisdiction of the Puppet Manchukuo, it is the gathering point of Japanese forces from three directions. "
"There is the North China Front Army on the Beiping line to the south, and even Beiping is the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army. To the west, on the Chahar line, there is the Japanese Mongolian garrison. To the northeast, there is Southern Manchuria, which is heavily guarded by the Japanese army. We will not fight. The Kwantung Army is weakened and our lines of communication are in danger of being cut off again at any time if they wish."
Wang Guangyu¡¯s suggestion is good. Similar ideas were mentioned by Guo Bingxun as early as when the combat plan was drawn up. Using the Anti-Japanese Alliance to equip a large number of tanks and chariots, and gaining air supremacy in the frontline areas, gave the Kwantung Army the opportunity to deploy in The main force north of Xinjing suffered the biggest blow.
But Yang Zhen had other ideas about whether to eat now or severely damage the Kwantung Army's heavy troop cluster deployed north of Xinjing. It is now the end of June, less than half a year since the outbreak of the Pacific War. If the Kwantung Army is currently suffering a lot of damage, will the Japanese army use all their strength when they go south, like the history they are familiar with?
Although according to the history that I know, the Japanese army did not mobilize too many troops from the Kwantung Army in the early days of the Pacific War. However, in the follow-up operations, a large number of Kwantung Army troops were mobilized. These veteran divisions deployed by the Kwantung Army caused serious casualties to the US military in the Pacific.
In the middle and late stages of the Pacific War, the Kwantung Army almost became the reserve warehouse of the Japanese army. Almost all the troops transferred to the domestic and southern battlefields for reinforcements came from the Kwantung Army. Three years later, the entire Kwantung Army had almost become an extra-large new regiment. If I let the Kwantung Army shed too much blood now, wouldn't that be giving the Americans an advantage?
¡°And severely damaging the Kwantung Army now will definitely have a huge impact on the entire process of the Pacific War. China has been fighting alone against Japan, a modern industrial power, for five full years. It is time for the Americans, a country that injected countless nutrients into the Japanese war machine in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War, to save a little more blood.
The most important thing is that the Japanese army is now at its peak. The Kwantung Army was injured by himself, and the Japanese army would also be injured by the Japanese army. And even if he was exhausted, he might not be able to eliminate the Japanese army deployed north of Xinjing and several Japanese divisions in depth. The Japanese army has no weak troops. This is Yang Zhen's greatest experience on the battlefield in recent years.
Judging from the combat effectiveness shown in the battle between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Japanese army, Yang Zhen understood that the troops on the Guan Civil War battlefield did not lose unjustly. Facing such a well-trained and well-equipped army, using the existing equipment to achieve this, the people in the pass can be considered as trying their best.
Since the war in the summer of the year before last, the Anti-Japanese Alliance has fought so many battles, and the prisoners of war among the rescued laborers include almost all troops and all factional armed forces in the customs. The Central Army, the Sichuan Army, the Guangxi Army, the Guangdong Army, the Yunnan Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Northwest Army, all the armed factions in the country, as long as they appear on the anti-Japanese battlefield, they can almost be found among the captured personnel.
But judging from the technical and tactical level of these armies, judging from the captured personnel, except for the Central Army, which can barely cope with it, the other armies are simply incomparable to the Japanese army. The basic tactical training of most local armies, what the Central Army calls a mixed army, is still at the level of civil war. These troops fought bravely in the war, but their efforts and gains were not directly proportional.
Even as a person from the future who knows the combat characteristics and weaknesses of the Japanese army, what he has brought out is far from Wu Xia Amon's resistance. After putting in a lot of hard work and training, his true technical and tactical level can only barely match that of the Japanese army. flat. And even if they work hard, there is still a certain gap between the quality of grassroots commanders and the middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army.
Facing the Japanese army, which has an extremely fierce fighting style and is well-equipped. Even if strategies and tactics are used successfully, the number of casualties in a big battle or a fierce battle will be astronomical. The Japanese army, which has a good reserve system and mobilization system, can continuously obtain a steady supply of strictly trained soldiers. But I don't have the confidence.
????????? Whether the communication within the customs clearance can be truly successful is still an unknown premise. Once there are too many casualties in the first stage of the battle, and it is difficult to replenish one's own troops, then the unlucky one will really be himself. Facing a possible crazy counterattack by the Japanese army, what can the Anti-Japanese Alliance do to resist it?
Although after the operation ended last autumn, at its own suggestion, the headquarters used the seized weapons and the weapons eliminated by the troops, and used the armed work departments of various military divisions and local county committees that had been formed to identify suitable weapons in the new base area. The young and middle-aged people serving in the army all set aside five days every month to carry out general military training in order to shorten the military training time after the soldiers of the right age enlisted in the army. At the same time, at the request of Yang Zhen, in various schools above the middle school Military courses were also set up and basic officer education was carried out. Including map surveying, use of light and heavy weapons, and basic infantry command. During the winter and summer vacations, all male and female students of school age must be sent to various units for rigorous military training.
After these students graduate, in addition to entering higher education and entering some newly opened secondary vocational and technical colleges, the rest will be a huge group of reserve officers. After two or three years, only a short period ofThrough training, these young students can become qualified officers as quickly as possible.
Despite countless efforts, this is just the beginning. It takes a long time to really take shape. Without enough time, it is difficult to train a large number of qualified reserve soldiers in a short period of time. The Anti-Japanese Alliance does not have the confidence of the Japanese army. Once it causes too many casualties during a battle, it will be quite passive in subsequent operations
