Chapter 248: Attack Taiyuan
The brigade commander said: "What I want now is to carry out the order of the head of the headquarters, get rid of the 37th Division of the Japanese army, and transfer to the state to create an anti-Japanese base area." ”
Wang Yan said: "This is actually not difficult. ”
"Isn't it difficult?" The brigade commander was stunned.
"It's really not that hard." Wang Yan said with a smile, "Although Yoshio Shinozuka's backhand is insidious, once we detect it in advance, there will be no threat, and it is actually very easy to crack." ”
"It's easy to say." Head Cheng said, "How to crack it?" ”
"Just mobilize the Japanese army." Wang Yandao.
"How?" Deputy Brigade Commander Han said, "At present, our 386th Brigade has a large number of baggage and heavy weapons, and the marching speed is not necessarily faster than that of the Japanese army. ”
"Yes." Commander Cheng echoed, "Don't end up with the Japanese army not being able to mobilize, but they are exhausted. ”
"No, it won't." Wang Yandao, "The mobilization of the Japanese army does not necessarily have to be the main force of the 386 Brigade, sending a regiment to carry heavy equipment and putting on a posture of attacking Taiyuan will definitely be able to mobilize the Japanese army." ”
"What do you say?!"
"Attack Taiyuan?!"
Regiment Commander Cheng and Deputy Brigade Commander Han were startled at the same time.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but glance at Wang Yan.
Damn, that's a great idea!
The brigade commander said: "You mean, your independent regiment will disguise the main force of the 386th Brigade and put on a posture to attack Taiyuan?" ”
"Yes." Wang Yan said, "But there is one point, the number can be bluffed, but it is difficult for heavy equipment to deceive the Japanese army's aerial reconnaissance, so the brigade commander had better temporarily transfer the artillery battalion of the brigade headquarters to the independent regiment." ”
"This will be more realistic, and Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely believe it."
The brigade commander's brows immediately frowned, but Li Yunlong almost laughed.
Damn, Counselor Wang, you can do it on a dog day, this is to avenge Lao Tzu!
Wang Yan continued: "As long as our independent regiment leads away the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, the main force of our 386th Brigade will be able to calmly move westward into the state and restore the anti-Japanese base area in the state." ”
The brigade commander said: "How can your independent regiment get out?" ”
"Brigadier Commander, you don't have to worry about this." Li Yunlong said, "Anyway, we have a way. ”
The brigade commander couldn't help but glance at Deputy Brigade Commander Han, to be honest, he was really a little moved.
If the equipment of an artillery battalion can be exchanged for a safe breakthrough of the main force of the 386 Brigade, it is certainly worth it.
But the brigade commander quickly remembered what Wang Yan had just said, it depended on what he wanted. By implication, it seems like he could have more than that?
"That's a good idea." The brigade commander nodded and said, "But I listened to what you just said, it seems that I can ask for more?" Is it? ”
"Yes." Wang Yan said, "Brigade Commander, you can ask for more!" ”
The brigade commander said: "Then tell me, how can there be more laws?" ”
Wang Yan said: "If this method is followed, the main force of the 386 Brigade can be basically preserved, and our independent regiment still has a great chance to break out of the encirclement, but the Taiyue Military Region will inevitably suffer heavy losses!" ”
"Because the Japanese army's sweep of the Taiyue Military Region has not been lifted!"
The brigade commander said: "You mean that it is possible to force the Japanese army to lift the sweep of the Taiyue Military Region?" ”
"Yes, the possibility exists." Wang Yan said, "But the specific operation is the opposite just now, send a regiment to disguise the main force and attract the Japanese 37th Division to the Fenyang line." ”
"The main force of the 386 Brigade quietly went north and went straight to Taiyuan City!"
"As long as the main force of our 386th Brigade appears outside Taiyuan City, the First Army will inevitably lift the sweep of the Taiyue base area."
"The reason is very simple, the income from the destruction of my Taiyue base is far from enough to make up for the losses that the loss of Taiyuan will cause to the Japanese army!"
"Because the impact of the loss of Taiyuan is too great!"
"This will definitely shake the foundation of the Japanese army in Shanxi!"
The brigade commander said: "You mean, really fight Taiyuan?" ”
"Yes, it's really Taiyuan!" Wang Yan said, "Because only by really fighting can it be possible to force the Japanese troops who participated in the sweep in the Taiyue base area to come back to help." ”
After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "Fighting Taiyuan has another big benefit!" ”
"And one big bonus?" The brigade commander said, "What other benefits?" ”
Wang Yan said: "This advantage is that our 386 Brigade really has the opportunity to lay down Taiyuan and hit the foundation of the Japanese army in Shanxi, and then greatly shorten the time for turning into a counteroffensive on the Shanxi battlefield!" ”
"What?" This is not only Regiment Commander Cheng and Deputy Brigade Commander Han, but even the brigade commander is surprised.
Li Yunlong even reached out to touch Wang Yan's forehead, wanting to see if Wang Yan had a fever?
Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, Yan Laoxi has been operating here for many years, and it can be said that the city is high and the ditch is deep.
Taiyuan is also the location of the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, so you can imagine with your toes that Taiyuan City must be heavily guarded, and their 386 Brigade bluffed to attack Taiyuan is nothing, and it can be really fought, but it is nonsense to say that it can really take Taiyuan.
Wang Yan slapped Li Yunlong's hand away and said in a deep voice: "Commander, I'm not joking!" ”
The expressions of the brigade commander, deputy brigade commander Han, regiment commander Cheng, and Li Yunlong became serious.
Wang Yan continued: "Brigade commander, I have been to Taiyuan twice, and I know a little about Taiyuan's city defense, Taiyuan's garrison was originally mainly responsible for the 9th Brigade, but now the 9th Brigade has been transferred to Xixiang County, and there is only one gendarmerie brigade left in Taiyuan City to maintain law and order. ”
"There is also a squadron of guards at the headquarters of the 1st Army."
"In addition to that, at most there is a regiment of the puppet army."
"This amount of troops is not enough to even stuff our 386 Brigade into the teeth."
The brigade commander was a little moved, after all, the equipment of their 386 brigade is not what it used to be!
In the past, when they first came to Shanxi, their 386 Brigade didn't even have a mortar, but now?
Now their 386 brigade already has two artillery battalions, one brigade directly under the artillery battalion, and the independent regiment has just captured 11 75 mountain guns, which is enough to form another mountain artillery battalion.
In addition to the 75 mountain guns, there were dozens of mortars or rapid-fire guns.
And that's not the point, the point is that they still have enough shells!
Not to mention anything else, the 75mm caliber mountain artillery shells alone brought more than 20,000 rounds!
Two battalions of artillery still have enough shells, even if they blow up, they will blow up Taiyuan City!
However, the brigade commander did not dare to make such a big decision on his own, and said at the moment: "This matter must be consulted by the division headquarters and the head of the headquarters before the final decision can be made." ”
Hearing the brigade commander's words, Wang Yan suddenly slapped his forehead.
The brigade commander was stunned and said, "Staff Officer Wang, what are you doing by beating yourself?" ”
"Brigadier Commander, I actually forgot an important situation." Wang Yan hurriedly said, "The last time I went to Taiyuan, I met a telecommunications detection vehicle of the Japanese army on the street, and this thing can track radio waves!" ”
"So it's better to advise the division headquarters and headquarters to go into radio silence."
"Otherwise, it will be easy for the devil to track down the division headquarters and headquarters by means of radio waves."
