Chapter 225 Opening the Pattern
However, there are huge risks behind the attack on Ji Zhong.

Because only Chen's brigade is attacking, the entire group now has only about 50,000 to 60,000 people. Although their heavy weapons are similar to those of the Japanese's Class A divisions and they may be able to suppress them at the battalion and regiment levels, North China and Northeast China are after all where the Japanese currently have a large number of troops.

Even though North China was temporarily left empty after the Japanese invaders marched south with heavy troops, the Kwantung Army, with its hundreds of thousands of troops, is still very powerful.

Under normal circumstances, the Kwantung Army might not dare to act rashly.

However, once the actions of the Eighth Route Army threatened the safety of the southward attacking group, the Japanese would obviously go crazy, and the Kwantung Army would not be able to sit back and relax.

Because during this period, Ren Zhong was sure that the Daxiong Far East Army would not move south.

With the capabilities of Chen's brigade group, there was no way it could stop a part of the Kwantung Army's elite troops from moving south and attacking from the north and south together with the Japanese group on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Therefore, this plan is basically impossible to implement.

Staff Officer Ye saw Ren Zhong lost in thought.

He stood aside without urging anyone, also watching the Japanese offensive and deducing the battle situation. You should know that the Japanese now have 4 more Kwantung Army divisions in North China, plus a 34-strong army of the Japanese th Army.

It can be said that this was a rare time when the Japanese North China Front Army had sufficient manpower.

If there is no intervention from Ren Zhong, at this stage, according to the deduction of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the border area, the main forces in Shanxi will not move for the time being, allowing the main forces of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei to avoid the sharp edge and adopt the sixteen-character guerrilla tactics of "when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue" to deal with the enemy.

This is a traditional skill that is almost ingrained in the bones of commanders and fighters at all levels of the Eighth Route Army.

So although Jin-Cha-Ji suffered heavy losses, its main force is still intact.

However, the little bit of industrial foundation that had been developed with great difficulty was destroyed all of a sudden.

After all, they didn't have many places to hide things. The Japanese's attack this time was unprecedented in scale, and with the help of many traitors, they almost wiped out all the accumulation of the entire base.

Under the current circumstances, Jin-Cha-Ji has almost no power to fight back.

If Chen's brigade was pulled out and entered the Ji Zhong Plain, there would not be much they could do to help since the Jin-Cha-Ji side had not received large-scale reinforcements.

1+1 cannot produce a greater effect than 2.

It is too risky to attack the plains now.

Ren Zhong removed this plan from his options.

We cannot fight the Japanese on the plains, as this will put ourselves in a dead end!

As a liberal arts student, Ren Zhong felt that this problem was beyond his ability.

So after traveling back to the main world, I directly reorganized the problem, took the situation of both sides as an assumption, drew a troop distribution map, and began to ask the omnipotent keyboard warriors for advice on how to crack it.

"Damn, you have 300,000 troops in North China, more than a hundred tanks, and several bases. With such a good situation, can't you just have a hand?" When a keyboard warrior saw Ren Zhong's hypothetical question, he laughed out of anger.

"In such a favorable situation, you actually kept the Japanese in Jin for the New Year. Are you blind or heartless? According to the assumption, you already have heavy siege weapons. There are only Japanese in the city in Jin, plus there is a P51D air force that is enough to cover the sky over the entire Jin. In this case, it's a no-brainer to flatten it first!"

"To take over Jin, the Japanese basically have only two ways to launch a large-scale attack. One is from north to south, that is, to attack from Yunzhong. This is the route the Japanese have taken, and the places along the way are easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Japanese now have only one division in Yunzhong, which is just the right time to take it down. When the Japanese want to come in from the north again, on the one hand, they have the support of strong troops from the two bases in northwest Jin and Wutai, and on the other hand, they have convenient air support from the border airport. If the Japanese don't have more than 100,000 troops to attack, they are courting death."

"You have the strong army of the Saibei Military Region to the north. The Japanese on the grassland dare not not deploy heavy troops to defend Qingcheng. You must at least maintain more than two divisions of troops to defend it."

"Plus there is another city, Wumeng, that needs to be defended. The Japanese will have to spend at least three divisions on the grassland to confront the Saibei Military Region." "In this case, you arm the main force of the Jin-Cha-Ji Army with heavy equipment and take Zhangbei directly. There is no place to deploy a large force in this mountainous area. After the main force of the Jin-Cha-Ji Army can take it, there will be no worries. With the help of the local terrain, it will be very difficult for the Japanese to re-launch an attack on Zhangbei. At least the logistics support for this 3-plus kilometers is a disaster. They will be endlessly dragged down by the guerrillas along the way."

"This is to occupy the two wings in the north. Make sure to cut off the support from the Jindi Japanese in the north, then take Quanyang and lock up the Taiyuan Japanese inside. The only way to go is to go south.

If the Japanese defenders of Taiyuan do not leave and want to launch a wave of central attack, they can just pull up the best main forces of Taihang and Taiyue. With tanks and heavy artillery, it will be a piece of cake to take down Taiyuan occupied by the Japanese.

If things go smoothly, it would take at most one month to eat all the dumplings made by the Japanese.

The infrastructure built in Taiyuan is not much better than that in the mountains. Although the Japanese have moved most of the equipment in the factory away, at least the factory buildings are still there, and the majority of industrial workers are still there. If these two major resources are utilized and mechanical equipment is supplemented, there will be no problem in creating a new production capacity of heavy weapons.

In this way, there would be no problem in arming another 10 or 20 troops in a short period of time. With a main force of or complete light and heavy weapons, even if the Kwantung Army came, they would cry. In the mountains and hills of Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army, which was good at mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, had an absolute advantage, and defending Shanxi was a piece of cake. In this way, a new base was established by integrating the border area, the northern frontier and Shanxi. With depth, population and resources, the Japanese invaders in North China and Northeast China could not bite it at all.

"

"What are you thinking about? If the Kwantung Army gathers 100,000 troops and attacks from the grassland, can you hold on with a few regiments in the Saibei Military Region? What can you use to hold on? Once Saibei is lost and there is no worry, these 100,000 Kwantung Army will move south again from Yunzhong. There is no strong army in the northwest of Shanxi, how can you hold on?
Don't think about Taihang and Taiyue coming to help. At this moment, the Japanese still have 100,000 troops in the south. With the support from the Japanese mainland to Central China, the Japanese attack in the south will not be unsustainable. Whether it is troop replenishment or logistical support, the Japanese are still capable of supporting the attack of two armies at this moment. "

"If we want to fight this battle, it will be difficult to rely on the Eighth Route Army alone. We must mobilize the preserved fruits. First, we must ensure that the First War Zone does not collapse. If it collapses, the Japanese army attacking from the south will have no worries. If the Japanese stabilize the front line from central China to north China, there will be no obstacles to manpower and logistics.

If they fought like this, they would have to rely on their blood. At this moment, there was only one area in Jin that they had just captured. The Eighth Route Army would definitely not be able to win. In the end, they had to fall back to the old path of returning to the mountainous area. They could not even keep the two basins in southern Jin that they had captured with great difficulty. "

“So we must never let the Japanese destroy the First Theater in the south. Even if it’s of no great use, the Japanese will always feel some pressure if they stay there.

Secondly, in the north, the 100,000 troops of the Seventh Route and a Half cannot be wasted. We should give up Qingcheng and Wumeng to the Seventh Route and a Half, and help them capture these two points, so that the Seventh Route and a Half can become the main force outside the Great Wall. With his 100,000 troops, and in cooperation with our Saibei Military Region and Suimeng Autonomous Army, even if the Japanese send out 100,000 Kwantung troops, I am afraid it will be difficult, because in this case, our Yunzhong and Zhangbei routes can still send troops to assist the battle outside the Great Wall. If a decisive battle really takes place outside the Great Wall, it is hard to say who will win. "

"After the north is cleared, the main forces of the border area and Taihang and Taiyue will focus on defending the south. Concentrating these more than 10 elite troops to face the -strong Japanese army will give us a % to % chance of winning."

The keyboard warriors, who were talking in a flurry, quickly supplemented and extended this wonderful idea. After Ren Zhong himself followed suit and made some deductions, he found that the idea they proposed to take Jin territory, then release seven and a half routes and save a war zone in advance was almost the only feasible strategy at present.

Only by conquering Jin could the Japanese be attracted to Jin, and the First War Zone could be preserved by the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao. Although the big guys in the First War Zone might not appreciate it and feel that they could still fight, history has proved that these big guys are simply not up to the task. After Commander Wei was sent to the Expeditionary Force, the First War Zone went from bad to worse. In the original historical time and space, whether it was the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain or the Battle of Central Henan, they were beaten by the Japanese without being able to take care of themselves.

But in this time and space, Ren Zhong had reversed the one-sided and tragic situation of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.

If the Japanese were attracted before they launched the Campaign of Central Henan and had no energy left to attack, the First War Zone would still have a very intimidating appearance, with a heavy military group of hundreds of thousands of troops.

The current strategy is to prevent this framework from collapsing, at least to contain the Japanese Central China Front Army and prevent them from easily moving their entire main force southward to launch the Changheng Campaign, thus disrupting the Japanese Operation No. 1.

Although the Eighth Route Army was facing unprecedented pressure and was almost single-handedly holding off the main attack groups of the Japanese invaders in North China and Northeast China, according to current developments, if they could concentrate their main forces in a special terrain like Shanxi, they would now be qualified to have a decisive battle with the main forces of the Japanese invaders in Shanxi.

After Ren Zhong packed up the simulation data, he returned to the world of Bright Sword and carefully carried out the simulation with Staff Officer Ye, although Staff Officer Ye also raised some new assumptions and questions.

However, in the discussion with many doubts from keyboard warriors in the main world, Ren Zhong responded to and answered Staff Officer Ye's questions one by one.

In fact, this strategy has become a very complete strategy after being supplemented and improved by many keyboard warriors in the main world.

Including how to take Yunzhong and Zhangbei, as well as clearing the main road and taking back the grassland together with the seven and a half routes.

As long as Qiluban still has a little ambition, he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
