When the telegram from the Military Commission was sent to the Military Headquarters of the Ninth Army, everyone was shocked!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Military Commission just scolded Deputy Commander Xu for a few words, and then everything was fine.
¡°More importantly, the Military Commission also supplemented the troops¡¯ food and salary for nearly a year, and also instructed the World War II Zone to mobilize a large amount of weapons and equipment for them, which greatly exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations.
However, Li Guoyao knew that if he relied solely on his face, the matter would not end so easily. What really worked was the battle plan to recover Suiyuan.
Because so far, the Nationalist Government has been losing cities and territory, and there have been few large-scale battles to regain territory.
If this battle is won, then the entire Suiyuan will be recovered, which will be of extraordinary significance to the National Government.
This is like the Pingxingguan victory. The scale of the battle itself was not very large. The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army only surrounded and annihilated a Japanese transport team, and the total strength of the opponent was no more than a thousand people.
And after a melee, the Eighth Route Army's casualties had exceeded that of the Japanese army. In a standard military sense, this cannot be called a great victory.
But why both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party claimed that this was a great military victory? It was because the significance of this battle was extraordinary. Its real significance was not to annihilate a transportation brigade of the Fifth Division, but to break the Japanese army's invincible myth.
Although Suiyuan has a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and a backward economy. The total population of the province is only a million people, which is not even comparable to a large city in the south. But so what, if Li Guoyao's troops win this battle. Battle, this is the first province in the country to be recovered, which is of great significance.
The second is the ongoing battle between Zhejiang and Jiangxi. The situation is not good for the National Government. If Li Guoyao's troops cooperate with the Eighth War Zone to open up a large-scale battlefield in the north, it will inevitably distract the Japanese army and will Greatly supported the operations in Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions.
In comparison, what¡¯s the point of giving Jiujiu Army some benefits?
Besides, the Jiujiu Army has grown up now, and the current defense area is close to the Eighth Route Army. The two sides have never looked up. If Chongqing is too harsh, the Jiujiu Army may not fall to the Red Party. This is This was the last thing Chiang Kai-shek wanted to see, so these weapons, equipment and supplies were just a stepping stone to ease relations between the two parties.
However, Li Guoyao still saw the sincerity of Chongqing. Anyway, his purpose was to attack Suiyuan, and the rest did not matter.
Therefore, after receiving the telegram from the Military Commission, Li Guoyao immediately called back and stated that he would be ready for battle as soon as possible.
Li Guoyao has been planning to attack Suiyuan for some time. The situation in the Suiyuan area is now much better than expected, because the main force of the Japanese army has been hit hard one after another, and the defenders in the Suiyuan area have suffered heavy losses.
According to the intelligence collected by the intelligence department during this period, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in Baotou and Guisui has dropped by about half, especially in Baotou. There are only a few hundred people left in the original main cavalry group. The entire Baotou The total number of defenders in Wuyuan, Wulateqian Banner, Baiyanhua, Dalate Banner, Guyang, Damao Banner and other places around it is only one infantry brigade plus two puppet cavalry divisions, with a total strength of less than 5,000. people.
The same is true here in Guisui. An independent garrison and two puppet cavalry divisions add up to more than 4,000 people.
What¡¯s more important is that among the several cavalry divisions of the puppet army, two and a half have secretly turned to Li Guoyao, so as long as Li Guoyao is willing, he can take Zhenggui Sui in a very short period of time.
Of course, although Li Guoyao's battle plan for the Military Commission was to recover Suiyuan, his real purpose was not Suiyuan, but somewhere else. Suiyuan was just a cover.
On June 1, Li Guoyao held a military meeting in Jining, and all division and brigade level military cadres in the base area attended the meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Guoyao had someone read out the National Government¡¯s combat order for the recovery of Suiyuan.
After Ma Desheng finished reading the order, Li Guoyao immediately stood up and said: "Brothers, the combat power of the Japanese and puppet troops in Suiyuan has been severely damaged by our army. Can Commander-in-Chief Fu and his 35th Army in the Eighth Theater of Japan attack from the west?" If we launch an attack on the front line, the probability of us taking Suiyuan is more than 80%, so we are bound to win this battle!"
But then Li Guoyao changed his voice and said again: "But Suiyuan is Suiyuan after all. It has a vast land and sparse population, and its industrial facilities are backward. It is not suitable for our army to be stationed at all. First, it is not very useful to our army. Secondly, the troops are too scattered, so we have to think about ourselves when we attack Suiyuan!"
The voice is strong??, Ma Desheng immediately asked: "Chief Commander, do you mean that we will not take these territories even if we capture Suiyuan?"
"That's pretty much what it means, but it's impossible to really want nothing. At least we can't give up the territory east of Guisui. Let's hand over the west to the 35th Army!" Li Guoyao said.
¡°Isn¡¯t that just making wedding clothes for others?¡±
"Haha, so we have to make some plans for ourselves!"
"What are you planning to do!"
I heard Li Guoyao say surprisingly: "I have fallen in love with Datong!"
"Datong? Didn't we just evacuate Datong City?"
"Before was before, and now is now. Before, we were unable to defend Datong, but if Baotou and Guisui were attacked at the same time, only Datong would be the only place where the Japanese army could mobilize reinforcements in a short time. If nothing goes wrong, the Japanese army in Datong would inevitably be Those who will go north to reinforce Guisui, we will take this opportunity to take over Datong City."
Li Guoyao then continued: "Right now, the Pingsui Railway has been cut off by us, and the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou has also suffered heavy losses. Even if we occupy Datong City, the Japanese army will not be able to counterattack for the time being."
"If we unite with the 35th Army and wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops who went north to reinforce and return to Suiyuan, under the framework of recovering the entire Suiyuan, the Japanese army will definitely not dare to invade Datong easily."
Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s analysis, Ma Desheng and others looked at the map again and again and felt that it was indeed feasible!
"Chief Commander, won't the First Army stationed in Shanxi go north to attack Datong?" Ma Desheng asked.
"It's possible, but the chance won't be too big, because Chairman Chiang is unlikely to give them this opportunity. The World War II zone will definitely take action in southwestern Shanxi. And now the Eighth Route Army has basically controlled northwestern Shanxi, and its troops are directly at the front Threatening Taiyuan, the First Army has too much time to take care of itself, and the possibility of counterattacking Datong is extremely slim." Li Guoyao said.
"If that's the case, you can actually do something!"
Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Old Ma, after the meeting is over, you can contact Commander-in-Chief Fu Yisheng of the Eighth Theater in the name of our army to discuss the matter of sending troops from both sides. It is best to let them go to the Western Front first. Attack!"
"yes!"
"Dashan, we will deploy two cavalry regiments from your cavalry group plus some technical arms, and go out to Xinghe all the way east, deep into the Bashang area northeast of Zhangjiakou, to threaten Zhangjiakou and contain the Japanese troops on the eastern front."
"yes!"
"Gu Mingtang, the remaining troops of the cavalry group are under your command. Your mission is to take the initiative to conquer Guisui after the national army troops on the western front launch an attack. Remember, your attack route is in two directions. The troops marched westward from Zhuozi, passed through Qizying and Yulin, and went straight to Guisui. The other route was from Jining, passing through Chayouzhong Banner, Siziwang Banner, and Wuchuan County, and then marched to the north of Guisui. In this way, they could completely defeat the enemy. Cut off the way for the Japanese and puppet troops to escape north."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"The main force of the 177th Division and the artillery regiment, air defense regiment, and engineering regiment directly under the army immediately assembled and secretly assembled on the front lines of Fengzhen, Tianzhen, and Matishan. As soon as the order from the headquarters to attack was issued, your troops were divided into three groups to complete the attack on Datong. The encirclement!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"The main force of the independent brigade is gathering towards the Yangyuan front line to prevent the Japanese 27th Division in the direction of Baoding from going north to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"The tasks of each department are clear. If you don't have any opinions, go ahead and prepare!" Li Guoyao said.
"yes!"
