Zhang Jiakou was successfully taken down, and the casualties of the soldiers were not too high. At this moment, the PL still had a very strong combat power.
Although Zhang Jiakou was successfully taken down, Datong and Suiyuan were not particularly far from Zhang Jiakou. Zhang Jiakou was only about 400 kilometers away from Datong. As for Suiyuan, it wasn't too far away from Zhang Jiakou. At this moment, reinforcements from both sides were also rushing over at full speed. They were in a state of marching, but they did not know that Zhang Jiakou had already changed owners.
The reinforcements from Suiyuan, the vanguard cavalry unit, thousands of cavalry, were rapidly rushing towards Zhang Jiakou. However, they did not expect that their whereabouts would be directly exposed to the air reconnaissance of the Planar Air Force.
There was even an armored regiment in front of them, ready to annihilate them. When the armored troops met the cavalry troops, there was naturally no need to explain the outcome.
In the summer of 1939, the Poles 'cavalry tragically charged at the German armored forces. They were easily crushed by the German tanks and armored vehicles. From then on, cavalry could not compare to armored soldiers. This was a law.
The cavalry of the Jin army naturally knew more than those ignorant horse bandits. Although there were only a few Renault ft17 tanks used by the French army during the First World War.
Renault ft17 tank, the first tank in the world to be equipped with a rotating turret. During the first world war, the Gallic Chicken Army produced a large number of Renault ft17s. However, after the war ended, the Gallic Chicken's economy was in a slump. Moreover, after the war ended, there was no need to maintain such a large army.
After reducing a large number of troops, the huge arsenal naturally lost its function. Furthermore, he had obtained a larger number of weapons for free from the defeated Hans Cat 2.
At this time, whether it was the defeated Hans Cat, the victorious Gallic Chicken, John Bull, or the democratic Bald Eagle of the Lighthouse Country, they all needed a lot of money to develop their country. Therefore, selling these old weapons that were not needed and would soon become obsolete was naturally a profitable business.
They sold a large number of old weapons at the price of new weapons to countries in times of war. At that time, China was one of these countries.
At that time, all the warlords in China, as long as they had some power, would buy some Renault ft17 tanks. After all, it concerned the development of their own strength, so these people did not dare to be careless.
Therefore, the cavalrymen of Jin knew that the bullets of their lances could not penetrate the armor of tanks and armored vehicles. Even if they used sabers to cut, they could only see a trace. In this war between warlords who were fighting for power and profit.
These soldiers did not have that kind of awareness. They were only soldiers to eat, and there was no need to put their lives on the line. Therefore, when they saw the armored vehicles and tanks, they wisely turned around and ran back.
After all, this wasn't a country war between life and death. The armored regiment was only following them and letting them leave the Chahar Special Region.
As for the reinforcements from Da Tong, they were extremely unlucky to have encountered the 5th Infantry Regiment. To be honest, the infantry regiments on Ji Yun's side were basically the same except for the numbers at the back. Therefore, when the 5,000-strong infantry brigade from Datong encountered the 3,000-strong 5th Infantry Regiment that was stationed in front of them, a battle ensued. The speed was extremely fast, and the contact between the two sides was very short. The 5th Infantry Regiment relied on their own firepower to surpass the enemy by almost ten times.
With only a few casualties, they defeated the reinforcements from Datong. The mountains and plains were filled with the defeated Jinsui Army. The 5th Infantry Regiment had some motorcycles and trucks, and their speed was naturally incomparable to the Jin Army. Other than the 100 or so people who successfully escaped capture, the others were either corpses or captives of the 5th Infantry Regiment.
The 5th Infantry Regiment chased all the way to the important town in the north of Jin Province, Feng Town, which was only about 100 kilometers away from Datong. They successfully took down the town. Then, they built fortifications here and settled down the captives they had captured some time ago. He also began to publicize Ji Yun's policy towards the commoners.
That's right, this was the so-called 'Grievance Assembly' that I Rabbit often used during the Jeifan war. It successfully transformed the enemy soldiers born in poor areas into its own soldiers.
The regiment commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment was called Lin Sanhu. He was a clone hero with very powerful abilities. All of his combat abilities were the same as the outstanding marshal in the history of the Republic. Therefore, Ji Yun arranged for him to be in this position.
In this battle, the one who was most useful was not Qi Meng, who had just taken down Zhang Jiakou, but Lin Sanhu, who had come to defend the Jinsui Army.
As mentioned before, the Jin army was very powerful during this period. Although it was not as strong as the total strength of nearly 300,000 soldiers during the Central Plains War that began in 1930, it still had nearly 200,000 soldiers now. (In 1926, when the Northern Expedition began, the Jin army already had more than 100,000 people. After the Northern Expedition, the Jin army became the number one force in North China.)If you hand it over to Ji Yun, there will be 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, let alone 100,000. He was not afraid of Yan Laoxi's Jin army at all. He could even defeat them easily.
After all, half of the 5th division was under the command of the weak Huan Zhengshilang. With just 10,000 people, they actually defeated more than 100,000 Jin soldiers in the Battle of Xinkou. However, it could also be seen that the combat strength of the Jin army was not particularly strong.
However, they had enough people. It was even more difficult to defend such a vast area. It was really not an easy task.
However, Lin Sanhu's strongest ability was not in combat, but in the ability to build an army. As long as he was given enough weapons and had a certain amount of support from the local people. That would be even more promising.
One had to know that in the history of China, the Northeast Field Army had only been around 200,000 when they first entered the northeast. However, a few years later, it had already developed into an army of a million. From this, one could naturally see how powerful Lin Sanhu was.
The meeting was not particularly successful because the Jin soldiers did not believe what Lin Sanhu said. There was no such thing as a good thing in this world. They could only believe it with time.
Meanwhile, Lin Sanhu was at the front line, commanding the soldiers to repair the fortifications. This kind of defense was only a simple civil structure. However, it could effectively defend against direct fire attacks from cannons below 100 millimeters. The key areas were reinforced with steel plates, and they could even defend against the shots of 155mm howitzers. As long as they did not explode above their heads, other than those who were killed by the shock, there would not be much impact. This kind of technology was not something that China had come into contact with at the moment. The Chinese army's tunnel technology was not particularly advanced at the moment. It could even be said to be completely backward. Many generals didn't even know what a circular fortification was, so it was no wonder that foreigners commented at that time,""China has world-class soldiers, second-rate generals, third-rate weapons, and mediocre commanders.”
Moreover, in this era, there were only a few cannons that were over 100mm in size in China, and the number would definitely not exceed 100.
It was really very sad. A country with a population of 450 million actually had such a powerful force.
Even our neighboring country, a small chicken, has stronger industrial capabilities than us in this era.

I'm sorry, comrades. I'm a graduate of this year's college entrance examination. I've been a little busy these past two days. I'll look at the remaining three tomorrow morning.
