Chapter 1925 The Battle of Logistics (For the Alliance Leader Northern Snow Wolf
In Peiping.
By this time, the North China Front Army Headquarters had also learned about the fall of Tianjin.
After learning that the Duzuo Regiment staying in Tianjin had not had time to destroy the dock, the supplies hoarded at the station, and even the dozen bombers parked at Zhangguizhuang Airport had been snatched away by the other side, Anan Weiji was furious because of these
The supplies fell into the hands of the Chahar Independent Regiment, which undoubtedly made the situation of the North China Front even worse.
"Watari Sakon, this useless loser!" Anan said with hatred, "Now we are in big trouble."
"Hai!" Kasahara Yukio said after a heavy pause, "The imperial army has hoarded a large amount of supplies at the Tianjin pier and train station. Now all these supplies belong to the Chahar Independent Regiment. What is even more annoying is that Zhangguizhuang Airport has no
With enough time to destroy it, the aviation force of the Chahar Independent Regiment can directly station at Zhangguizhuang Airport and launch a close-range attack on the imperial army, which makes the situation faced by the imperial army even more dangerous!"
"It doesn't matter." Kanemitsu Keijiro shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Zhangguizhuang Airport was snatched away intact, and even a dozen attack planes parked at the airport were snatched away, which is not enough to change this situation.
After all, the aviation force of the Chahar Independent Regiment does not have attack aircraft. The efficiency of bombing by fighter jets alone can be said to be very low. And the dozen or so attack aircraft that were snatched away by them lacked supporting aerial bombs.
, and basically it can only be used as a decoration.”
After listening to Kanemitsu Keijiro's analysis, Anami Yuki and Kasahara Yukio felt slightly better.
As Keijiro Kanemitsu said, because Tianjin is a port city and has a warehouse function, it has accumulated a large amount of materials. However, these materials are basically coal, cotton, ore and other materials shipped to Japan, or from Japan.
The quantity of industrial products, weapons and ammunition shipped from the mainland is very small.
As for the reason, it is actually not complicated.
Because during this period, the weapons and ammunition produced by Japan's domestic arsenals were almost without exception allocated to the newly formed Far East Front Army. The weapons and ammunition allocated to the North China Front Army were very few, and the only weapons and ammunition they had were
, had long been transported back to Peiping by Anan Weiji and distributed to the troops.
Therefore, although the Chahar Independent Regiment obtained supplies from Tianjin, this did not improve its sustained combat effectiveness at all. From this point of view alone, the loss of Tianjin only made it more difficult for the North China Front Army to break through, but the North China Front Army did not
I had no intention of breaking out, so there was no real impact.
After a slight hum, Anan Weiji asked again: "Jin Guangjun, please analyze the future direction of the battle."
"Hai!" Kanemitsu Keijiro said after a heavy pause, "So far, the 110th Division has entered the east of Tongzhou and has begun to repair fortifications with the help of the Grand Canal. In another two or three days,
By the end of the day, the defensive circle around Peiping can be formed. Due to insufficient troops, the imperial army is certainly unable to counterattack, but it is absolutely impossible for the Chahar Independent Regiment and the North China Eighth Route Army to break through the imperial army's circular defense circle in a short time.
!”
Kasahara Yukio also continued: "This is an obvious thing. If the Chahar Independent Regiment planned to attack by force, they would have attacked along the Ping-Han Railway yesterday, and would never go around in a big circle to attack Tianjin! Therefore, Chahar
The Ha'er Independent Regiment did not attack by force yesterday, and it is even less likely that it will attack by force today or even in the future."
"Hai!" Jinguang Keijiro said after a heavy pause, "Obviously, Xu Rui intends to trap us to death! This is also in line with the consistent purpose of the Eighth Route Army. Although Xu Rui is different from other Eighth Route Army commanders, he is more cunning.
It is even more impossible to make a loss-making business, so the Chahar Independent Regiment will definitely adopt a long-term siege tactic!"
"Suoga." Ananwei nodded a few times and said, "If the two sides really form a stalemate, what will happen in the end?"
"This depends on whether the Imperial Army can cut off the Chahar Independent Regiment's logistics supply line!" Kanemitsu Keijiro said, "If the Imperial Army can successfully cut off the opponent's logistics supply line, even if it is only partially cut off, it will be enough to cause Chahar
If the Chahar Independent Regiment loses its long-term combat effectiveness, then the first one to be unable to support it must be the Chahar Independent Regiment!"
"Yo Xi!" Anan Weiji asked again, "In other words, it depends on the outcome of the logistical battle."
"Hai!" Kanemitsu Keijiro said, "The next step is the battle of logistics support!"
"Yo Xi!" Anan Yui's eyes flashed with an inexplicable fierceness, and he said in a ferocious voice, "If you say that, it's time for Machida-kun's special operations brigade to take action!" After saying this, the old devil said
Then he turned to the adjutant behind him and said, "Call the special operations brigade station immediately and ask Machida-kun to come to the headquarters."
"Hai!" The adjutant nodded heavily and turned around to make a call.
…
When he received the call from the headquarters, Machida Ryuji was giving lectures to more than 100 special forces members of the special operations brigade on the large playground at the base.
Two months ago, in the battle for food in the Ulanqab League, Machida Ryuji once again escaped death, narrowly escaping with his life from the Langya Brigade. This was already the first time after Heitani and Baotou.
The third time since then!
After the breakout, Machida Ryuji was recalled to Peiping by Anami Weiki to rebuild the special operations brigade.
Because in the previous battle, only Machida Ryuji's special operations team died, so he sent a telegram to Chiyoko Inoue in China, and Chiyoko Inoue sent him a dozen more ninja team members, and then Machida
Long Er also selected more than a hundred veterans from several elite divisions of the North China Front Army to rebuild the special operations brigade.
After two months of hard training, the entire special operations brigade has basically taken shape.
Of course, if you want to grow into an elite special forces team like the Wolf Fang Brigade, it still takes time, and it also requires actual combat training, because you can't train the real elite, but you can only kill them with swords and guns on the real battlefield, so Machida
Only then did Long Er decide to conduct an actual battle to enhance the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade as much as possible.
As a result, he had just assembled his troops when the battle order came down.
…
In Chongqing, the National Army Headquarters.
Bai Chongxi was talking to the sand table: "From the current point of view, the closing of the O-shaped encirclement is inevitable, and the encirclement of the North China Front Army is an indisputable fact! Now, there are only two situations in which the North China Front Army can avoid being captured by Chahar
The tragic ending of the complete annihilation of the Independent Regiment and the Eighth Route Army."
Chen Cheng couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Jiansheng, what are the two situations?"
Bai Chongxi held out two fingers and continued: "First, immediately mobilize the Kwantung Army to enter the pass and launch a fierce attack on the Chahar Independent Regiment from Shanhaiguan. It must be pointed out that the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army at this time is not actually very tight. If the Kwantung Army
If the main force of the army can return reinforcements in time, we can still completely break this encirclement."
"However, the problem is that the Kwantung Army may not return for reinforcements." Chen Cheng frowned and said, "If the Kwantung Army was willing to rush to the rescue, they should have rushed to the rescue as early as when the Chahar Independent Regiment left Zijing Pass. However, what is puzzling is that,
The Kwantung Army watched helplessly as the North China Front was in trouble and remained indifferent!"
He Yingqin shook his head and said: "I'm afraid the Kwantung Army is powerless. After all, the Kwantung Army is also facing strong pressure from the Soviet Red Army, isn't it? Once the main force of the Kwantung Army enters the Pass, the Soviet Red Army will take the opportunity to launch a large-scale strategic counterattack. The Far East battlefield will be
There is a possibility of corruption, a consequence that Japan cannot bear."
Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said: "Is there a second possibility?"
Bai Chongxi spread his hands and said: "The second possibility is that the Chahar Independent Regiment runs out of military supplies before the North China Front Army and falls into a dilemma of running out of ammunition and food. In this way, it is entirely possible for the Chahar Independent Regiment to turn defeat into victory!"
Chairman Chiang asked again: "Well, Jiansheng, how high is the possibility of this?"
Bai Chongxi replied: "According to the information provided by the military commander, the North China Front Army of the Japanese has approximately 20 days of ammunition reserves for operations. Considering that they are defensive operations, there will be a certain saving in ammunition consumption, so there is no problem in persisting for a month.
Yes, but the supplies carried by the Chahar Independent Regiment can only last for more than ten days at most, so if the supplies from Baotou cannot be delivered to Tianjin in time, the Chahar Independent Regiment will be in trouble!"
Chairman Chiang said: "That is to say, it is already a logistics dispute, right?"
Bai Chongxi said: "It's basically a logistics dispute. If the Communist Party can overcome the difficulties and transport the second batch of ammunition from Baotou to Tianjin in time, then the enemy's North China Front Army will be the last to be destroyed. Conversely, if the Communist Party cannot transport the second batch of ammunition in time,
The second batch of ammunition is sent to Tianjin, and Xu Rui’s Chahar Independent Regiment will be destroyed!”
Chairman Chiang then asked: "So, can the second batch of ammunition be delivered in time?"
"It's hard to talk about this." Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Because there are two factors involved here. One is whether the Communist Party can mobilize enough civilians, and the second is the determination of the little devils to cut off this logistics supply line.
How big? If the number of civilians is not enough and the determination of the Japanese is strong enough, then it will be difficult for ammunition to be transported to the Tianjin battlefield in time."
Chen Cheng suddenly asked: "Brother Jiansheng, wouldn't Xu Rui not know the importance of the logistics supply line? Wouldn't he send a large force to protect this logistics supply line?"
Bai Chongxi looked at Chen Cheng as if he were an idiot, shook his head and said, "Brother Cixiu, don't you think that the tanks, artillery and aircraft of the Chahar Independent Regiment can run on their own without refueling? So, if Xu Rui sends a big army
If the troops protect the supply line, it will only accelerate the consumption of supplies. At that time, the supplies that the civilian team has worked so hard to transport may not be enough for the escort team. As for the small troops, from Baotou to Tianjin, thousands of miles away, they must be protected everywhere, and they can be protected.
?"
Chen Cheng's face turned red after being snatched away by Bai Chongxi, and he did not dare to speak easily again.
