Chapter 1916 The Battle of Beiping (Tenth Update Completed)
"Oh, yes, that must be the case." Chairman Jiang nodded heavily.
"No, it should be the offensive and defensive battle that took place yesterday, which seriously shook the Japanese army's morale." Bai Chongxi also calmed down at this time. As soon as he calmed down, he immediately recovered his thinking ability, shook his head and said, "In addition, the Japanese soldiers'
The military supplies have been destroyed again, so after the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment arrives, the little devils will be defeated like a mountain."
It must be admitted that it is not without reason that Bai Chongxi was honored as a half-military strategist by the Japanese. His analysis of the war situation is much more reliable than that of Chen Cheng and He Yingqin. Although it failed, it still failed.
Basically, it's almost the same. The reason why the two Japs' brigades were wiped out so quickly was mainly because of the troubles laid yesterday.
As he spoke, the eyes of Chairman Chiang and several close aides fell on the map again.
Chairman Chiang said in a faint tone: "Now it is a foregone conclusion that the Chahar Independent Regiment will leave Zijingguan from the east. The Japanese army may not be able to stop it anymore. So next, will they have to go north to fight Beiping?"
Chen Cheng said: "With Xu Rui's character, it is almost certain that he will go north to attack Beiping."
He Yingqin nodded and agreed: "Xu Rui said before the war started that he would attack Peiping, so next, the Chahar Independent Regiment will definitely go north, but whether it can win Peiping is another matter.
In any case, the Japanese army has stationed a large number of troops in Peiping, and the Chahar Independent Regiment may not be able to take them down."
"Brother Jingzhi is too conservative." Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not that we may not be able to win, but we will definitely not be able to win. I dare to say that if the Chahar Independent Regiment really dares to go north to attack Peiping, then
What awaits them is the end of the entire army being destroyed, yes, that must be the case!"
Chairman Chiang asked: "Are you so sure about Ci Xiu?"
"Yes, I am so sure of my position." After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he pointed at the map and said, "There are also brothers Jing and Brother Jiansheng on the committee. If you look at the map carefully, you will find that from Baotou
It is more than 500 kilometers to Yixian County, and this is only the distance on the map. Considering the dangerous mountains and rivers, the actual distance will only be longer."
He Yingqin said: "Brother Cixiu, are you saying that the logistics support of the Chahar Independent Regiment will become a problem?"
"Absolutely." Chen Cheng said, "An army does not just need people with guns and cannons. People have to eat, horses have to eat grass, guns have to be fed with ammunition, and planes and tanks burn more fuel! Chahar is independent.
The reason why the regiment's offensive is so fierce is that it relies on massive logistical supplies, but such an offensive will never last long!"
Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "If there is no logistical support, the offensive of the Chahar Independent Regiment will indeed not last long. Based on my humble estimate, it will only last for seven or eight days at most, and it will last for half a month!"
Chen Cheng continued: "Three days have passed now. So, is it possible for the Chahar Independent Regiment to capture Peiping within three or four days? It is obviously impossible! And once they run out of ammunition and food, they will be stationed scattered in North China.
Japanese troops from various battlefields will come from all directions and launch a centripetal attack on the Chahar Independent Regiment, and it will be difficult to break through by then!"
Chairman Chiang said in a faint tone: "Nothing is absolute. What if the Chahar Independent Group really takes over the city of Beiping within three or four days?"
Chen Cheng was speechless for a moment.
Chairman Chiang added: "By then, the whole of North China will really have changed!"
Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were silent. If the Chahar Independent Regiment can really crush the Japanese troops in Peiping and surrounding areas in the next three or four days, and then work together to regain Peiping, then North China may really change. It really does.
It may become the territory of the Communist Party! If this is the case, the situation will be complicated!
"Why did it become like this? How did it suddenly become like this?" Chairman Chiang glanced at the three close aides in front of him with disappointment, then murmured to himself and left. At this moment, Chairman Chiang really
Some are starting to doubt their lives. Xu Rui's troops are obviously going deep alone. They should be trapped in a tight siege, but now they are like a sharp knife cutting through butter, turning the whole of North China upside down. What's going on? What is going on?
?
…
At the same time, at the Japanese base camp in Tokyo.
Anami Weiji has already sent the battle report back to Tokyo.
After learning that the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment had left Zijing Pass eastward, Xianyuan Gong Zairen felt deeply that the situation was serious, and quickly ordered an emergency staff meeting to discuss the response strategy.
Rommel, as the chief advisor of the German Army Advisory Group, was also invited to attend.
After Shouichi in the temple briefly introduced the situation, Xianyuan Gong Zairen said solemnly: "Everyone, there is no need for me to say more about how cruel Xu Rui is? I will never overestimate this person no matter how much he does.
Too much! Now, the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment has successfully left Zijingguan in the east and marched to North China. The North China Front has made a decision to launch the Peking Battle with the Chahar Independent Regiment in Peiping to decide the ownership of the entire North China."
After a pause, Xianyuan Gong Zairen continued: "But Ananjun also made it clear in the telegram that the North China Front Army has no confidence in winning the upcoming Battle of Peking, so it is best to urgently deploy two troops from the Far East Front Army
The armored division plus three infantry divisions are heading to Peiping!"
Yamashita Fengwen, who was attending the meeting, suddenly changed his expression slightly.
After Rommel listened to the German translation, he jumped up and shouted: "No! The troops of the Far Eastern Front must not move!"
After a pause, Rommel said excitedly: "Your Highness, the blitzkrieg against the Eastern Group of the Soviet Far East Front is about to be launched. At this time, the temporary transfer of troops from the Far East Front will have disastrous consequences, especially for the two armored divisions.
The transfer of the regiment will directly lead to the failure of the blitzkrieg!"
Rommel did not sound alarmist. It would be very troublesome to transfer two armored divisions at this time, because the tanks equipped by the Japanese army were too thin, let alone the Type 95 tank, and the armor of the Type 97 tank was also too thin.
They cannot withstand the fire of large-caliber machine guns, so the losses during war will definitely be very large. If the number is insufficient, it will be difficult to persist until the end.
Rommel's reaction was somewhat unexpected, and he quickly stood up and said, "General Rommel, please be patient. This is just an application from the North China Front. It has not yet been decided whether troops will be transferred from the Far East Front. Even if
In the end, if we really need to deploy troops, we will definitely seek your consent first."
The implication is that if Rommel objects, he will not transfer troops from the Far Eastern Front.
After hearing this, Rommel finally felt relieved and sat back on the tatami in an awkward posture. As a German, it was really uncomfortable for him to imitate the Japanese and kneel down on the tatami for a meeting.
Xianyuan Gong Zairen turned his attention to the others and said, "Everyone, please tell me, too?"
Yamashita Fengwen frowned and asked: "Is the strength of the North China Front really stretched to this point?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Army Deputy Chief Kuniaki Oiso said, "The North China Front has jurisdiction over the First Army, the Twelfth Army, the Mongolian Army and some directly affiliated units. Among them, the First Army is permanently stationed on the Shanxi battlefield, and the Twelfth Army
Stationed on the battlefield in Shandong, these two armies are barely able to maintain public security in Shanxi and Shandong, and they are simply unable to mobilize troops to reinforce Peiping."
After a pause, Koiso Kuniaki continued: "The troops stationed in Mongolia can actually mobilize some troops, but at most the 110th Division can be transferred to Peiping, but even if the 110th Division is included, it can be used
There are only three C-type divisions in the Battle of Peking. With three divisions, it is indeed extremely difficult to win the Battle of Peking!"
"No, it's not difficult." Xianyuan Gong Zairen shook his head and said, "It's just completely impossible!"
"Hai!" Koiso Kuniaki said with a heavy pause, "With only three C divisions, the North China Front Army has absolutely no chance of defeating the Chahar Independent Regiment and winning the Battle of Peking!"
Yamashita Fengwen frowned and asked: "It is true that the First Army and the Twelfth Army cannot allocate even one division? Especially the First Army stationed in Shanxi has four divisions and three independent mixed brigades, one of which
The division is still a permanent division! It shouldn’t be difficult to dispatch a division to go to Peiping, right?”
Koiso Kuniaki shook his head and said: "The First Army does have four divisions and three brigades, but the enemies they need to face are also the most powerful. In addition to the Communist Party's Eighth Route Army, there are also Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui Army and
Wei Lihuang's Central Army, especially Wei Lihuang's Central Army, has been going crazy recently, attacking from all sides!"
After a pause, Koiso Kuniaki continued: "What's more, the transportation from Shanxi to Peiping is inconvenient. Both railways and highways are extremely vulnerable to attacks by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. Therefore, I am afraid that the troops will not be able to move there in less than ten days and a half.
, and the Battle of Peking is imminent, so it will definitely be too late to mobilize troops from the First Army."
Yamashita Fengwen said no more. Originally, he wanted to say that troops could be transferred from the Eleventh Army or the Thirteenth Army, but this would be more time-consuming than transferring troops from the First Army.
Even if they can't keep up with the Battle of Peiping, the deployment of troops from the Eleventh Army and the Thirteenth Army will even be even worse than the Battle of Peking.
At this time, Rommel suddenly said: "Why do we have to launch the Battle of Peking?"
"Not launching the Peking Battle?" Koiso Kuniaki asked in shock, "Is this also possible?"
"Of course it can be done." Rommel nodded and said, "With the current strength of the North China Front, it is certainly not enough to launch the Battle of Peiping, but if you just stick to Peiping and its surroundings, it should be more than enough! Because active offensive and defensive operations require
The troops and supplies are completely different, right?"
"Stick to Peiping?" Koiso Kuniaki said in shock, "Let Xu Rui wreak havoc in North China?"
"What does it matter?" Rommel shrugged and said, "As long as the Japanese army wins the Battle of the Far East, even if the Eighth Route Army occupies the entire North China, it can take it back in a snap, huh?"
