The tone of the riverside? Sun Zhen was filled with contempt:... This guy just jumped and clown, I really want to get along with that guy Nakajima again

When Sun Zhen mentioned Kang Jian of Nakajima, Song Xilian's expression became a little solemn. In the Battle of Liaocheng, the actual commander of the Japanese army was Kang Jian of Nakajima. In Song Xilian and Sun Zhen's view, the Battle of Liaocheng was not a victory but a failure. Fifty thousand Japanese troops were surrounded in Liaocheng, which not only allowed them to break out and chase thousands of miles away, but also allowed them to escape, which made Song Xilian and Sun Zhen very dissatisfied.

, "This kid was lucky last time. This time, Song Xilian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when he thought that the Fifth Division was not in Langfang: "This kid is going to hit me again, hum, let him run away again, my Song character is written upside down...

Since the war has been fought, the Chinese generals have changed greatly in terms of mentality to confidence. If they used to hide from the Japanese army, they are now looking for the Japanese army to fight, and the ordinary Japanese army still do not look down on them.

The Central Group commanded by Song Xilian included his Second Army, the Twenty-Second Army, the Thirty-Sixth Army, and the 71st Army (the previous article was wrong. Wang Jingjiu was the commander of the 11th Army, and the commander of the 71st Army was Liu Anqi), and the 72nd Army (the commander Feng Shengfa). The temporary assembly of the 19th Army (the commander Ma Fa5). In addition to the temporary assembly of the 19th Army, the equipment of the 19th Army was poor (the entire army was Japanese-style equipment), the remaining troops were well-equipped, and the 71st and 72nd Army were also semi-American equipment. In addition to artillery, there was also a tank regiment equipped with forty-two Sherman tanks.

There are also the **Second Tank Division, the 3rd 4th Brigade of the **Tanks, the 36th Army and the 22nd Army, each with a tank regiment, with a total of 430 tanks, more than 200 Xijia vehicles, and 110 self-propelled artillery; the 2nd 3rd 6th 8th Regiment of the Rocket Armor, and the 3rd Air Force Division are responsible for providing air support to them.

Whether on earth or in the sky, Song Xilian has an absolute advantage. "Hebian Zhengsan has only six divisions and one mixed brigade. Even if the three divisions and one mixed brigade in Gu'an are added, the number of troops that Hebian Zhengsan can use is only 140,000.

According to information, among the nine divisions of the Hebian Zhengsan Group, there are five Divisions of Type C, four Divisions of Type B. The Class C Division has more than 12,000 people. The Class B Division has 15,000 people, and the ** Mixed Brigade has 5,000 people. In addition to other subordinate troops, the total strength is only 140,000. Song Xilian's strength is more than three times that of his, and the comparison of technical weapons and air force is an overwhelming advantage.

It is precisely because of this advantage that Song Xilian and the commanders and commanders of the army below were stingy with such confidence.

"Commander Zhuang asked us to cut off the connection between Gu'an and Langfang when we started a war." Commander Sun. Do you have any problems?...

The war zone held a combat meeting two days ago, with only four commanders attending this meeting, Tang Enbo, Song Xilian, Du Yuming, and Wei Lihuang, who originally fought west of the Pinghan Line. Regarding the central line, Zhuang Jihua was most concerned about whether he could take Langfang on time. He specifically reminded that at the beginning of the attack, he must cut off the connection between Langfang and Gu'an, and then concentrate his efforts to take Langfang down.

Song Xilian handed this task to Sun Zhen, and the 22nd Army Group had 100,000 troops," and a temporary 19th Army. First, suppress the Gu'an defenders with a fierce offensive and cut off the connection between Gu'an and Langfang.

"Don't worry. The Forty-Fifth Army, strengthen the tank regiment of the army. The breakthrough point was chosen by Cao's housework." Sun Zhen was very calm. The Japanese deployment was all controlled by the theater. Cao's housework was the junction of Gu'an 121st Division and Langfang 41st Division.

Song Xilian nodded, and turned around and asked Feng Shengfa: "Captain Feng, the 71st Army and the 72nd Army are responsible for cutting off the connection between Tianjin and Langfang. Can you complete the task?"

, "Don't worry, commander." Feng Shengfa's answer was not hesitant: "We will choose Dou Zhang for breakthrough." A village east of Dou Zhang Langfang is close to Wuqing. This is the junction of Tianjin 27th Division and Langfang 6-4th Division.

The joint is often the weakest place in defense, and the attackers mostly choose such a place. Any general knows this. To improve this problem, the only way to rely on the cooperation of the generals on both sides of the joint is to do so.

The 36th Army and the 3rd Fourth Brigade of the ** Tanks were responsible for the frontal attack. During this attack, Song Xilian deviated from the norm and left the 2nd Tanks Division and the 2nd Army as reserves. Both Feng Shengfa and Sun Zhen felt strange, but Zhuang Jihua approved the plan.

, "All troops are in place within two days, and the attack will be at 5 a.m. on February 20. Everyone, go back and prepare...

Song Xilian was holding a meeting, and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Du Yuming was also holding an operational meeting. Du Yuming was under his command of only 50th Army, the First Army, the 52nd Army. The Qing 3rd Army, the 112th Army, the New Eighth Army. The 108th Army, the 6th Tank Brigade. The 9th Rocket Armor Regiment has a total force of up to 550,000, and the Air Force Fourth Division is responsible for air support.

Du Yuming's mission is to occupy Jinghai, break through the Japanese Duliuhe defense line, and cut off the connection between Tianjin and Tanggu. If he can attack and occupy Tanggu.

Du Yuming faced the generals with a calm tone, and seemed to have not considered Jinghai: "Commander Lan. Your first army is the right wing of our army, responsible for the extremely east of Tuanbo Town, all the way to the sea." General Gao Shuxun's 108th army is affiliated to your unit, so you should pay attention to the direction of Tanggu. The enemy guarding the Tanggu is a mixed 16th brigade with 5,000 troops. The outer terrain of Tanggu is complex and there are many swamps, which is not conducive to the large-scale corps combat. Therefore, your main focus should be on Tianjin. After breaking through the Duliu River, advance north quickly. Occupy the central bridge and the military ration city, and cut off the contact between Tanggu and Tianjin... Commander Pan, your task is to move back from the left wing. The attack area is from Taitou to Tiaohetou, after breaking through the Japanese defense line, go north quickly, attack Xiqing, and surround Tianjin from the west. The **Tank Sixth Brigade Qing's three armies are affiliated to your unit to operate. Pay attention to contacting friendly forces of the Central Group Army and cut off the contact between Peking and Tianjin at the same time."

"The Fifty Army is responsible for the frontal attack, first conquering Jinghai, and set up a commander-in-chief of the front-line enemy, with the deputy commander of the army and the commander of the 77th Army General Situ Fei. He is assigned to the Fourth Qing Army. The 112th Army and the New Eighth Army are reserves...

, "Do you understand?"

, "I understand!", the generals agreed.

The three sieges are missing one, and the combat plan is in line with the rules and no surprise at the beginning. However, Tianjin defending enemy Yokoyama Yokoyama is an unprecedented opponent, Okamura Nishiji, who can choose him to defend Tianjin, must have extraordinary points. Tianjin defending enemy six divisions and one mixed brigade, with a total force of more than 80,000 people, and the city wall is high and thick. The deployment of Yokoyama Yokoyama from the intelligence department is also in line with the rules. Three C divisions are outside the city, three B divisions are inside the city, and ** Mixed 8th Brigade is in the north of the city.

Du Yuming's plan to stand firm first. Then look at the changes in Hengshan Yong, the 112th Army and the New Eighth Army were expeditionary forces returned from Myanmar. The New Eighth Army commander Dai Anlan 112th Army commander Li Tianxia. After the Battle of Myitkyina, Dai Anlan was promoted to the commander of the 66th Army. Yu Jishi wanted to reorganize the army. Zhuang Jihua took the opportunity to transfer Huang Botao, Yu Chengwan and Chen Mingren to the fifth war zone. However, he did not expect that because there were too many officers transferred, the New Eighth Army and the 112th Army were caused.

The military officers were dissatisfied. They believed that Yu Jishi excluded the generals promoted by Zhuang Jihua and the New Eighth Army had the strongest reaction. The officers secretly contacted and refused Shi Zhongcheng to be the commander of the army. After Yu Jishi found out, he immediately made changes to transfer Dai Anlan back from the 66th Army. Shi Zhongcheng took over as the commander of the 66th Army. At the same time, Zhuang Jihua also sent a call and asked generals at all levels to obey orders. There was no warlord idea. Li Tianxia successfully took over as the commander of the 112th Army.

These two armies were baptized by Myanmar's combat, and they were the main force of the expeditionary army. Although Stilwell was dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua, he admired these two armies very much. He appointed them as the first batch of training troops of the expeditionary army. All the troops above the army sent consultants to replace their equipment, and their firepower was stronger than that of the Forty-Nine Army.

Du Yuming kept the two troops in the reserve team, obviously he was holding back. He didn't want Yokoyama to find out his trump card at the beginning of the attack.

, "The meeting ends, and the attack is launched on February 20th, at 5 a.m. Everyone, go back! The headquarters doesn't care about food...

Jeeps parked outside the entrance of the village drove away one after another. Ye Xufei felt a little sad. Almost all the generals who boarded the bus knew each other. The generals had a rough count of their strength. Judging from her eyes, the entire southern line. The Central ** team gathered more than one million troops, and the Tianjin direction had 400,000, which could be regarded as the main attack direction.

Xu Fei turned her head to look. But Forman was greeting her, and she forced a smile. Forman obviously saw that she had something to do: "Ye, what are you thinking?"

Ye Xufei sighed deeply, calmed down and smiled first: "I'm thinking about the generals who left just now. It seems that the Battle of Pingjin will start in these few days...

Forman nodded in agreement and had been with the military reporter for a long time. He became sensitive to military affairs. The last time Zhuang Jihua held a combat meeting in De County, the reporters were betting that the attack would be launched within ten days. However, they did not expect that the Japanese army would evacuate voluntarily, and the attack would naturally be stranded. This time they once again felt strongly that the attack was about to begin.

, "But I'm very surprised, why is General Qiu Qingquan still staying in Rongchengchi District? It's more than a hundred miles away from the front line... Ye Xufei asked with a frown.

Qiu Qingquan's First Mechanized Army stayed north of Rongcheng and did not approach the front line. It was not even launched. The reporter frequently visited the troops, and Qiu Qingquan also accepted reporters' interviews many times. The photos were all featured in the "Full Newspaper" run by the war zone. Not to mention the reporter, I'm afraid Okamura Yanji knew that he was helping.

Forman shrugged and looked up at the field. Another team of troops came over there: "I don't know, I'm not a general, I'm just a reporter..."

, "In the Battle of Shandong, General Qiu Qingquan destroyed the Japanese First Chariot Division, raided Dexian, and defeated the main force of the Japanese army. Moreover, from the European battlefield, tanks were the main strike forces, how could they be so far away from the battlefield? Ye Xufei frowned, as if she was talking to herself.

, "Maybe Commander Zhuang has any ideas,... Foreman thought for a while: "But it seems normal to me. Look, we have been to the Fifth Army. They are in the Gaobeidian area and the First Mechanized Army are also in the Gaobeidian area. But they are a little farther away, and you can directly rush to Peiping along Pinghan Road from here."

Ye Xufei nodded, but then shook her head: "Even so, they are too far away from the front. If there is any change, there will be no time to reinforce...

Forman chuckled, Ye Xufei looked at him in amazement, as if she didn't know what was ridiculous. Forman smiled and waved his hand: "no, no, Ye, you are not good, we are just reporters, we only report the facts. The generals command the battle, and we report the news. We cannot get the salary of the reporter and do the general's work. This is unfair."
