However, launching an attack on Central Hebei carries enormous risks.
Because it would only be Chen Brigade's army group launching the attack, and the entire group currently consists of only fifty to sixty thousand people. Although they are similar to the Japanese Class A divisions in terms of heavy weapons, and may even surpass them at the battalion and regimental levels, North China and Northeast China are currently areas where the Japanese have concentrated a large number of troops.
Even if North China is temporarily empty after the Japanese heavy troops move south, the Kwantung Army, which has hundreds of thousands of troops, is still very powerful.
In ordinary times, the Kwantung Army might not dare to act rashly.
However, once the Eighth Route Army's actions threaten the safety of the southward attacking groups, the Japanese will obviously go crazy, and the Kwantung Army will not be able to sit idly by.
Because at this time, Ren Zhong is certain that the Soviet Far East Army will not move south.
With the Chen Brigade Group's capabilities, it is impossible to stop a portion of the Kwantung Army's elite from moving south and attacking from the north and south with the Japanese groups south of the Yellow River.
So, this plan is basically impossible to implement.
Chief of Staff Ye saw Ren Zhong fall into deep thought.
Standing on the side, he did not urge him, and also watched the Japanese army's offensive, deducing the battle situation. It should be known that the Japanese army in North China now has four more Kwantung Army divisions, plus the 34th Army of the Japanese army with 100,000 troops.
It can be said that it is a rare time when the Japanese North China Front Army has sufficient troops.
If there were no intervention from Ren Zhong, according to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the border area's deduction at this stage, the main forces in Jin Province would not move for the time being, allowing the main forces of the Jinchaji Military Region to avoid the enemy's sharp edge, and adopt the sixteen-character true strategy of guerrilla warfare: 'The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue,' to deal with the enemy.
This is a traditional skill and has almost been engraved into the bones of Eighth Route Army commanders at all levels.
So, although the losses in the Jinchaji Military Region are great now, the main forces still exist.
It's just that the little industrial foundation that was so hard to develop has been destroyed all at once.
After all, there are not many places where they can hide things. This time, the Japanese army's scale is unprecedented, and with the help of many traitors, almost all the accumulation of the base area has been lost.
In this situation, the Jinchaji Military Region has almost no ability to counterattack.
If Chen Brigade is pulled out and enters the Central Hebei Plain, the Jinchaji Military Region has not undergone large-scale replenishment, and there are not many places that can help.
1+1 cannot produce an effect greater than 2.
Launching an attack on the plain is still too risky now.
Ren Zhong removed this option from his choices.
It is a dead end to compete with the Japanese army in the plain based on strength!
As a liberal arts student, Ren Zhong felt that this problem had exceeded his ability.
So, after returning to the main world, he reorganized this problem directly, made the situation of both the enemy and ourselves as a hypothesis, drew a troop distribution map, and began to ask the all-powerful keyboard warriors for a solution.
"Damn, you have 300,000 troops in North China, more than 100 tanks, and several bases. Isn't this a great situation that anyone can handle?" Some keyboard warriors were a little amused when they saw Ren Zhong's hypothetical question.
"With such a great advantage, you actually left the Japanese army in Jin Province to celebrate the New Year. Are you blind or heartless? According to the hypothesis, you even have heavy siege weapons. Jin Province only has the Japanese army in the city left, plus there is a P51D air force sufficient to cover the entire sky of Jin Province. In this situation, just push it flat first!"
"After taking Jin Province, the Japanese army basically only has two ways to launch a large-scale offensive. One is from north to south, that is, to kill in from the Yunzhong direction. This is the road that the Japanese army themselves have taken. All the way are places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese army now has a weak defense force in Yunzhong, with only one division. It is just the time to take it down. When the Japanese army wants to enter from the north again, on the one hand, there are strong troops relying on the Jinxi North and Wutai base areas, and on the other hand, there is convenient air support from the border area airport. If the Japanese army does not invest more than 100,000 troops in the offensive, it is just looking for death."
"You have a strong army in the Saibei Military Region in the north. The Japanese army on the grassland dare not not invest heavy troops to defend Qingcheng, at least they must maintain more than 2 divisions to defend before they can rest assured."
"Plus another city, Ulanqab, needs to be defended. The Japanese army must spend at least 3 divisions on the grassland to confront the Saibei Military Region."
"In this case, you equip and strengthen the main regiments of the Jinchaji Military Region with heavy equipment, and directly take down Zhangbei. There is no place in this mountainous area to deploy heavy troop groups. After the main regiments of the Jinchaji Military Region can take it down, there is no need to worry. With the help of the local terrain, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to launch an offensive against Zhangbei again. At least the 200-kilometer-long logistics guarantee is a disaster, and it will be endlessly dragged down by guerrillas along the way."
"This is occupying the two wings of the north. Ensure that the support for the Japanese army in Jin Province from the north is cut off, and then take down Quanyang, trapping the Japanese army in Taiyuan inside, with only one way to go south.
If the Japanese army's garrison in Taiyuan does not leave and wants to launch a wave of blooming from the center, then directly pull up the best main forces from Taihang and Taiyue. With tanks and heavy artillery, how difficult is it to take down Taiyuan occupied by the Japanese army?
Pushing it flat will take at most a month to eat up all the Japanese dumplings.
The basic infrastructure built in Taiyuan is much better than in the mountains. Although the Japanese army has moved almost all the equipment from the factory, at least the factory buildings are still there, and the main body of industrial workers is still there. Using these two major resources and supplementing the mechanical equipment, there is no problem in exploding a new production capacity of heavy weapons.
In this way, there is no problem in rearming 100,000 or 200,000 troops in the short term. With 400,000 to 500,000 main troops with complete light and heavy weapons, even if the Kwantung Army comes, they will have to cry. In the mountains of Jin Province, the Eighth Route Army, which is good at mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, has an absolute advantage. It is no problem to defend Jin Province. In this way, a new base area integrating the border area, Saibei, and Jin Province is realized. With depth, population, and resources, the Japanese army in North China and Northeast China alone cannot bite it."
"Upstairs, what are you dreaming about? If the Kwantung Army concentrates 100,000 troops to kill over from the grassland, can your several regiments in the Saibei Military Region defend it? What do you use to defend it? Once Saibei is lost, without any worries, these 100,000 Kwantung Army troops will once again go south from Yunzhong. There are no strong troops in the Jinxi North area, how to defend it?
Don't think about Taihang and Taiyue coming to help. At this moment, there are still 100,000 Japanese troops in the south. Through the support from the Japanese mainland to the Central China area, the Japanese army's offensive in the south will not be unsustainable. Whether it is troop replenishment or logistics support, the Japanese army still has the ability to support the offensive of two large armies at this moment."
"If this battle is to be fought down, it will be difficult to rely on the Eighth Route Army alone. We must mobilize the GMD. First of all, we must ensure that the First War Area does not collapse. If it collapses, the Japanese army's southern offensive army will have no worries. The Japanese army will stabilize the front line from Central China to North China, and there will be no obstacles to troop strength and logistics.
Fighting like this, betting on thick blood, at this moment, there is only one Jin Province that has just been taken down, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to beat it. In the end, it will have to fall back to the old road of the main force returning to the mountains, and the two basins in southern Jin that were not easily obtained will not be able to be preserved."

"After there is no problem in the north, the main force in the border area and the main force in Taihang and Taiyue will defend with all their strength in the south. Concentrating these more than 100,000 elites to face the Japanese army's 100,000 troops, there is a 70-80% chance of winning."
The chattering keyboard warriors quickly supplemented and expanded this whimsical idea. After Ren Zhong also followed up with the deduction, he found that the idea of taking Jin Province and then releasing the 75,000-strong army and rescuing the First War Area in advance was almost the only feasible strategy at present.
Only by capturing Jin Province can the Japanese army be attracted to Jin Province, besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, and preserving the First War Area. Although the bigwigs in the First War Area may not appreciate it and feel that they can still fight, history has proven that this group of bigwigs is simply incompetent. After Commander Wei was dispatched to the Expeditionary Force, the First War Area went from bad to worse. In the original historical time and space, whether it was the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain or the Battle of Henan, they were beaten by the Japanese army to the point of being unable to take care of themselves.
However, in this time and space, Ren Zhong has already reversed the one-sided tragic situation of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.
If the Japanese army is attracted before the Japanese army launches the Battle of Henan and has no energy to attack, the First War Area still has a very bluffing framework, and there is a heavy troop group with 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 from easily sending its main force south to launch the Changsha-Hengyang Campaign, and to stir up the Japanese Operation Ichigo so that it is full of holes.
Although in this way, the Eighth Route Army will encounter unprecedented pressure, and it can almost be said that it is using its own strength to withstand the main force attack groups of the Japanese army in North China and Northeast China, but according to the current development, if the main force is concentrated in Jin Province, such a special terrain, it is now really qualified to have a decisive battle with the Japanese army's main force in Jin Province.
After Ren Zhong collected these deduction materials, he returned to the Bright Sword world and seriously conducted the deduction with Chief of Staff Ye. Although Chief of Staff Ye also raised some new hypotheses and questions.
However, with the discussion under the multiple questioning of keyboard warriors in the main world, Ren Zhong answered and resolved Chief of Staff Ye's questions one by one.
In fact, this strategy has formed a very complete strategy after being supplemented and improved by many keyboard warriors in the main world.
Including how to take Yunzhong and Zhangbei, and how to make way for the main road and recapture the grassland together with the 75,000-strong army.
As long as the 75,000-strong army still has a bit of ambition, it will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
