    Chapter 1,366: Puppet Mongolian Army (Part 2)

    Okamura Neji, who was also awakened late at night, was completely confused after listening to the report from the Mongolian Army Headquarters!

    It was he who proposed the plan of the four armies to encircle and suppress Sumushan. In his opinion, Li Guoyao's troops had just arrived at Sumushan and had not established a firm foothold at all. At this time, a heavy encirclement and suppression would definitely be able to accomplish the result in one battle.

    Although we are not sure that this battle will definitely eliminate Li Guoyao's troops, there is a high probability that they can be driven out of Suizhou and Chacha provinces.

    Okamura Neiji has analyzed the development trajectory of Li Guoyao's department. It rose on the Shanghai-Nanjing battlefield and became famous in the Wuhan offensive. However, it still has to track the independent development of the department after its arrival in Shandong to become a serious problem for the Imperial Japanese Army.

    It only took a year for this army to become the strongest and most unprovoked entity on the battlefield in Shandong. The 12th Army lost more than 40,000 elite troops and more than 20,000 Imperial Army troops in just one year. This was almost  Equivalent to two-thirds of the soldiers of the 12th Army.

    ??Then this unit went north to southern Hebei and was assigned to the combat sequence of the Jicha theater!

    As a result, in just half a year, this force planned two large-scale attacks on Handan and the entire southern Hebei. As a result, the Imperial Japanese Army completely lost control of southern Hebei. Until now, there are still more than a dozen  The county is under the control of the branch/that person.

    It can be seen that this army is like a virus, causing huge damage to the Imperial Japanese Army wherever it goes, and these damages are often irreversible!

    Therefore, Okamura Neiji definitely does not want Li Guoyao¡¯s troops to gain a foothold in the Suicha area!

    With Okamura Neiji's strategic vision, it is not difficult to see through Li Guoyao's intentions. In Suiyuan, Chahar, northern Shanxi, and northern Hebei, the Imperial Japanese Army only had one garrison in Mongolia, and the total strength of this unit was no more than one division.  With one brigade, five independent garrison brigades, and a half-disabled cavalry, the real combat strength of the Imperial Japanese Army was only about 30,000 people.

    Among the three corps-level combat units under the direct control of the front army, the Mongolian Army is the weakest, but the territory it guards is the largest.

    Weak strength and large territory means that the troops are scattered.

    "Once Li Guoyao's troops gain a foothold here, it can be expected that they will form a prairie fire in a short period of time and completely drive the Imperial Japanese Army out of the Mongolian area.

    Once something like this happens, the Japanese Empire¡¯s plan to attack the northwest through the Hetao Plain will be completely ruined!

    Therefore, even though he knew that the current troops were not suitable for large-scale combat with Li Guoyao's troops, Okamura Neiji still gathered tens of thousands of troops to launch this offensive.

    What he didn¡¯t expect was how a battle that was originally a sure thing would turn into this mess after just a few days!

    Among the four armies, the 26th Division commanded by Anda Twenty-three was blocked on the mountain road between Datong and Fengzhen, unable to advance even an inch!

    However, the cavalry troops on the Guisui side suffered a devastating blow in Zhuozi County. Of the five thousand troops, only more than two thousand have broken through to Jining. The only remaining cavalry regiment of the cavalry group is only five or six hundred.  He is dead and has basically lost his combat effectiveness.

    What¡¯s more important is that at this time they also have to deal with Li Guoyao¡¯s attack on Jining City, which puts a lot of pressure on them.

    In fact, Okamura Neiji has always had high hopes for the troops in the direction of Zhangjiakou. In his opinion, only this troop is most likely to enter Sumu Mountain.

    "But I never thought that such a big change would happen to this unit. Although there is no substantial evidence that Manano's troops have been wiped out, Okamura Neji and Ganpa Jutaro's inferences are consistent.

    Right now, Okamura Neiji has two choices in front of him. One is to continue to increase troops to the front line of Sumushan, crush the turtle shell created by Li Guoyao at all costs, and drive it completely out of the Suicha area.

    The other option is to withdraw the troops obediently. No matter how big the loss is in this battle, we must hold our noses and admit it!

    Okamura Neiji himself was really unwilling. He knew very well that once his troops were withdrawn, Li Guoyao's troops would really gain a foothold in the Suicha area, and it would not be easy to drive them away or annihilate them.

    But it is unrealistic for him to continue to increase troops. First, the North China Front has been fighting continuously for three and a half months from mid-September to now. Most of the troops have not rested. If they continue to fight, the damage to morale will be  Obvious.

    Secondly, long-term fighting and large-scale troop mobilization have always left the security area with a serious shortage of defensive forces, which created opportunities for the Eighth Route Army guerrillas to move.¡°According to the information collected by the secret service these days, the activity of Tuba Road has obviously increased in recent times, and there have been many tactics that make them shudder, and they must be severely cracked down.

    The most important thing is that the current situation in the direction of Zhangjiakou cannot be ignored. The whereabouts of the main force are unknown, but the supporting personnel have already secured everything. They may appear outside Zhangjiakou tomorrow morning. At this time, they will not be able to mobilize troops for reinforcements.

    The loss of a brigade-level infantry and a regiment-level armored force is enough to alarm the base camp. If another provincial-level city is lost, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

    After analyzing it at the combat headquarters for a long time, Okamura Neiji even went into battle in person to conduct a tactical deduction with the combat staff. In the end, he found that even if he mobilized three more divisions to participate in the battle, there was no chance that they could eliminate Li Guoyao's troops.  The probability is only 50%, but Zhangjiakou is likely to be captured by Li Guoyao's troops with a high probability.

    The results are frustrating, but the greatest advantage of Neji Okamura is that he is good at accepting other people's opinions and suggestions, and does not just emphasize face!

    Therefore, the North China Front Army Headquarters soon made a decision, agreeing that all fighter planes from Zhangjiakou Airport should be transferred to Nanyuan Airport, and the ground staff of the airport evacuated to Zhangjiakou city overnight!

    At the same time, Okamura Neiji also ordered all the garrison troops from counties and districts around Zhangjiakou to withdraw into the city of Zhangjiakou, and all troops were stationed in the city, waiting for reinforcements.

    Subsequently, Okamura Neiji issued new combat orders to the other three armies overnight, and the Datong troops left the battlefield overnight and returned to Datong.

    The 27th Division of Yuxian County also immediately withdrew its troops and returned to Baoding, but it had to leave a force on the Huajialing line. It was the only way from Baoding to the Suicha area in the north, and it was rugged and difficult to travel. It must not fall into the support line.  /In that person¡¯s hand.

    As for the defenders in the direction of Jining, Okamura Neiji's decision was even more difficult. The entire army immediately abandoned Jining City, and the troops went all the way north, passing through Chahar Right Center Banner, Siziwang Banner, and Wuchuan, and then returned to Guisui.

    As a result, the Japanese army actually abandoned all counties and districts around Jining, including Jining, Xinghe, Fengzhen, Zhuozi, Liangcheng, and Chahar Right Front Banner.

    Although the Suicha area is vast and sparsely populated, the impact of losing so many counties and districts at once is still considerable.

    The most important thing is that once Fengzhen and Jining are lost, the Pingsui Railway can only reach Datong.

    "Once the Pingsui Railway is interrupted, the Japanese and puppet troops in Guisui, Baotou and other places will become a lone army. If the Eighth Theater in the Hetao area launches an attack at this time, the consequences will be unpredictable.

    But it was impossible not to withdraw. The strength of Li Guoyao's troops on the Jining front line was far beyond the Japanese army's expectations. Under the premise that Mano Goro's troops were annihilated, the Mongolian army was no longer able to defend Jining and other places.  .

    Rather than waiting for Li Guoyao's troops to take the initiative to attack and annihilate all the defenders in the city, it is better to take advantage of them and break out immediately!

    Although this is a little ugly, compared to preserving strength, who cares about face matters!

    On the contrary, if you lose the opportunity to break out for the sake of face, and eventually the entire army is annihilated, then your face will be truly dull!

    And Okamura Neiji also believes that as long as the front army slows down, it is only a matter of time to conquer Jining and other places. As for now, he can only save face!
