Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

"A place suitable for the deployment of mechanized combat forces?"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff was obviously stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment to what Kong Jie meant.

Kong Jie smiled and explained: "There are many types of common terrain, such as mountains, hills, plateaus, plains, basins, etc. The area suitable for the deployment of mechanized combat troops should be vast and without terrain obstacles.

This naturally doesn't work in our Taihang area.

But some areas are mostly vast, which are very suitable for the deployment of mobile forces, such as traditional cavalry units and mechanized combat units. "

"Don't keep us in suspense, kid. Where exactly is the place you are talking about? Tell me what you think!" the Deputy Chief of the General Staff urged.

"Yes!"

Kong Jie responded and then circled a point on the huge military map hanging on the wall.

Looking at the map, it's not even as big as a palm.

But the actual area is quite vast - Suimeng area, which is Suiyuan and Inner Mongolia.

Of course, at present, Inner Mongolia is not called Inner Mongolia, it can be called Mongolia. Later, after some bastard declared independence with the support of another country, Inner Mongolia came into being.

"Suiyuan!!!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff was stunned, while the Deputy Commander-in-Chief stood aside, looking at the map thoughtfully without saying a word.

Kong Jie slowly said: "Yes, it is the Suiyuan area. In fact, looking at the entire North China, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Army has experienced battle after battle. Most of the mountains and rivers have been lost. The territory occupied by the Japanese is getting larger and larger, almost covering the entire North China.

Not to mention the Northeast region, which, with the support of the Japanese devils, created a crappy puppet state of Manchukuo, whose defense is as strong as an iron barrel.

Nearly one million Kwantung Army troops are stationed there. With the current strength of our Eighth Route Army, it is basically a pipe dream to retake the Northeast.

And then radiate from the northeast.

Tianjin, Beijing, Shanxi, Hebei and other places were basically controlled by the Japanese army, and our base was only located in the suburbs of a remote mountainous area.

Judging from the overall strength, we are far inferior to the Japanese army.

It was not easy to open up the anti-Japanese war in these areas, and the only way was to open up anti-Japanese revolutionary bases behind enemy lines step by step.

We should follow the highest strategy of surrounding the cities with the countryside, proceed slowly, fight a protracted war, and fight a war of attrition. "

"But there is one place where the situation is a little different, and that is the Suimeng area.

Although the Japanese army generally controlled the Suimeng area, there was actually only a small Japanese army stationed in Mongolia.

The size of the troops stationed in Mongolia was not large. It is said that the total strength of the army was only 20,000 to 30,000 at its peak. The Suimeng area is vast and mostly consists of plateaus and plains. How could the Japanese army possibly fully control it with the limited forces it had?

In addition to the troops stationed in Mongolia, there was also the 35th Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the Suimeng area.

Commander Fu led his troops well. In the Hetao area, relying on the mobility advantage of cavalry combat and the vast territory, they constantly found loopholes and almost made the Mongolian troops lose their temper.

Relatively speaking, the Japs' control over the Suimeng area was far less than that over some core occupied areas in North China.

If our mechanized combat troops want to open up a suitable battlefield, I think there is no better place than the Suimeng area."

And this is only considering the direction of the battle.

Kong Jie then used his vision of standing on the shoulders of giants to analyze from a strategic perspective the long-term significance of trying to form a mechanized combat unit of the Eighth Route Army in the Suimeng area and opening up a base area...
