The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Datong, No.30 Sixth Army Headquarters.

Knowing that Tangshan was successfully recovered, everyone was encouraged with confidence and felt very relaxed and happy. Many soldiers in the headquarters were much more brisk in their steps.

In the command hall, all the top leaders of the No. 30 Sixth Army also looked happy. With Tangshan recovered, the next battle will be much easier.

Now, everyone has a lot of choices. They can recover Beiping and Tianjin, or they can attack Shijiazhuang and "force" the Beijing-Tianjin area from the south.

Logically speaking, there are now a large number of troops from the No.30 Sixth Army in the outskirts of Beiping and Tianjin. They should attack Beiping or Tianjin first, but Zhang Yunfei has his own ideas. [

Zhang Yunfei plans to fight Shijiazhuang first this time.

With a plan in mind, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Comrades, we have recovered Tangshan now, and our next goal is to hit Shijiazhuang."

"Oh! Shall we hit Shijiazhuang next target?"

Many people were surprised, they did not expect that Zhang Yunfei would hit Shijiazhuang.

Zhang Yunfei looked around and saw that everyone was puzzled, so he couldn't help explaining patiently: "Comrades! Beiping and Tianjin are the two largest cities in North China. If we recover these two cities in the next stage, according to our strength, we must also No problem."

After a short pause, he cleared his throat, and Zhang Yunfei immediately continued: "However, because these two places are important places in North China, the little devil's resistance will be quite fierce, and our losses may be relatively large."

"If we recover Shijiazhuang first, it will be much easier to fight. According to intelligence, the little devils currently only have two and a half divisions in Shijiazhuang and its vicinity. The 54th division that was disabled by us before can only be regarded as half a division at best." group."

"And we have more than 1 people in the first column outside Shijiazhuang, and more than 7 people in the seventh column. In addition, the Eighth Route Army in North China can also cooperate with us in fighting. Therefore, if we attack Shijiazhuang, we will be much more relaxed. "

Everyone listened to what Zhang Yunfei said.Everyone gradually gave up their plans to attack Beiping or Tianjin immediately, and instead decided that the next step would be to attack Shijiazhuang.

then.Everyone expressed their support for Zhang Yunfei's decision to fight Shijiazhuang in the next stage.

Seeing everyone's unanimous opinion, Zhang Yunfei immediately said seriously: "Immediately send a report to Yan'an and explain the situation. In the next stage, we will liberate Shijiazhuang, and ask the Eighth Route Army to cooperate with us in fighting."

The No.30 Sixth Army has more than [-] troops outside Shijiazhuang, and the air force can also cooperate in operations, and is fully capable of cleaning up the little devils in Shijiazhuang.Zhang Yunfei said in the telegram that asking the Eighth Route Army to cooperate in the operation is completely a display of low profile.

Now, as the No.30 Sixth Army is becoming stronger and stronger, and has established illustrious military exploits one after another.In order to reassure the central government, Zhang Yunfei generally keeps his posture very low.

It didn't take long for a telegram to be sent to Yan'an. On the same day, Yan'an called back and agreed with the No.30 Sixth Army's decision.

actually.Zhang Yunfei still has his own ideas about restoring Shijiazhuang first, but the time is not yet ripe, so he can't tell everyone.

First of all, to restore Shijiazhuang, Zhang Yunfei can lead the Eighth Route Army all the way to the north. At present, the Eighth Route Army also has more than 30 regular troops, and the status of weapons has been greatly improved and improved compared to before.

Zhang Yunfei planned to lead the Eighth Route Army to advance north, and then recover Beiping and Tianjin, the important places in North China. The No.30 Sixth Army only needed to hold a few big cities, and some small and medium cities could be handed over to the Eighth Route Army.

In this case, the entire North China will be restored, and the big cities in North China will be controlled by Zhang Yunfei, and more than half of the small and medium-sized cities should be controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

At present, the national army in North China is also conducting a tentative attack on the little devils, and has also recovered several small counties. [

Zhang Yunfei predicted that with his victory all the way, as long as the little devils are defeated, this tentative attack of the national army will immediately turn into an active attack, and the national army will immediately seize the territory.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei must control the area and quantity of territory seized by the National Army, preferably in the restoration of North China, and the small and medium-sized cities controlled by the National Army and the Eighth Route Army are basically the same.

However, without his own help, the 10,000+ Eighth Route Army would definitely not be able to compete with nearly a million national troops. Therefore, Zhang Yunfei must contribute to keep the two sides in a basic balance, preferably evenly matched.

This is not only the case in North China, but it is best to be the same in the process of restoring the whole country in the future. Only by maintaining this balance can civil war be avoided after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

At that time, the Anti-Japanese War will be won, the areas controlled by the national army and the Eighth Route Army will be basically the same, and the strength of the two armies will be almost the same.At that time, even if someone wants to fight a civil war, they have to look at their own attitude and see if the officers and soldiers of the No. 30 Sixth Army agree.

As a time traveler, Zhang Yunfei does not want a civil war, so from now on, Zhang Yunfei will work hard to maintain this balance, forming a three-legged situation where the Eighth Route Army, the National Army, and the No.30 Sixth Army will stand on each other.

Of course, these are just the thoughts in Zhang Yunfei's mind. At present, I can't tell everyone. However, when the time is ripe, Zhang Yunfei will communicate with several high-level officials of the No.30 Sixth Army if the opportunity arises.

************************************

On the third day after the recovery of Tangshan, the battle for the recovery of Shijiazhuang also started.

It has been a while since the first column besieged Shijiazhuang, everyone has already made all preparations, and everyone has long wanted to try it.

Some time ago, I saw that the various columns recovered Chengde and Qinhuangdao, and severely damaged the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army of the little devil. The day before yesterday, they recovered Tangshan.

Seeing that the various columns are fighting vigorously, but the first column has been standing still, just confronting the little devils stationed in Shijiazhuang from a distance, no matter whether it is the soldiers or the commanders of the various troops, everyone has long been unable to hold back .

Today, as soon as each regiment received the combat order from the 1st column, the soldiers cheered and happily made the final preparations before the attack.

Comrade Wang Haiyang, the commander of the first column, also has a rosy complexion, holding a telescope in high spirits, and watching the soldiers advancing in the distance.

Farther away, Wang Haiyang could even vaguely see a large number of fortifications built by the little devils. There were no natural dangers outside Shijiazhuang City, and the surrounding area was the endless, very flat North China Plain.

In order to defend the big city of Shijiazhuang, the little devil built a large number of fortifications, long trenches, solid concrete strongholds, and even stretched barbed wire within a few tens of kilometers outside Shijiazhuang.

In the past few days, the little devils have seen signs of a large number of troops from the No.30 Sixth Group attacking Shijiazhuang on a large scale. The little devils have hurriedly built some fortifications. Some anti-tank trenches were dug.

This time, the policy adopted by everyone was to encircle Shijiazhuang. The entire 1st column, some 7 people from the 1th column, and more than a dozen regiments of the Eighth Route Army who came to join the battle in the past two days.

With so many troops, we will slowly advance towards Shijiazhuang from all directions, and will break through the defense lines built by the little devils, and finally achieve the goal of completely annihilating the little devils and recovering Shijiazhuang.

As for the little devil's reinforcements, don't worry for the time being. The little devil's troops in the Beijing and Tianjin areas can only protect themselves at present, and cannot send reinforcements southward to Shijiazhuang for the time being.

The little devil's troops in Shandong and Henan can't quench his thirst for the time being. Even if the little devil wants to mobilize reinforcements from these areas, the distance is too far, and the second is to attack many defense areas of the Eighth Route Army and the National Army. As long as the troops from the army came to reinforce them, they would definitely be blocked by the Eighth Route Army and the National Army. In less than ten days and a half months, they might not reach Shijiazhuang.

Because of this, Zhang Yunfei dared to adopt such a bold attack strategy, pressing all the troops outside Shijiazhuang up, attacking the little devils from all sides at the same time, regardless of his own back. [

In order to adopt such a tactic, Zhang Yunfei waited for two days until all the dozen or so regiments of the Eighth Route Army had reached the outskirts of Shijiazhuang before ordering the troops to launch an attack.

Putting down the binoculars, Wang Haiyang, the commander of the 1st column, looked at his watch. It will be eight o'clock soon, and the time for the general attack will come soon.

Sure enough, a signal flare rose into the sky in the distance, emitting a dazzling light. Many soldiers saw this signal flare, and everyone knew that the general offensive had begun.

The first thing that was attacked by the soldiers was the outermost line of defense of the little devils. This line of defense was at least ten kilometers away from Shijiazhuang, and many little devils were stationed inside the line of defense.

Many little devils also saw the signal flares fired by the No. 30 Sixth Army. Many little devils thought, is the No. 30 Sixth Army on the opposite side going to attack?

Sure enough, the No.30 Sixth Army's offensive began immediately.

Led by tanks, armored vehicles and off-road vehicles, tens of thousands of soldiers slowly approached the little devil's outer line of defense.

This time the attack was on the outermost defense line of Shijiazhuang, and most of the soldiers participated in the battle. In order to cope with the huge Chinese army attack, the little devils also had [-] to [-] troops on the outer defense line.

Along with the tens of thousands of No. 30 Sixth Army troops and more than a dozen regiments of the Eighth Route Army troops attacking the little devil, the battle immediately became fierce.
