Chief of Staff Zhou saw a hint of something wrong on Li Hao's face, and hurriedly asked, "Comrade Li Hao, is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Hao did not hide his true thoughts: "Chief, I think the next negotiations will definitely become more and more difficult. ”

"There is too much gap between the demands we put forward and what Jin Suijun can give us."

"I guess in the next negotiations, they're likely to be prepared with both hands, go hand in hand, and force us to relent."

"Military pressure on us?" Chief of Staff Zhou instantly understood Li Hao's worries.

Li Hao nodded: "Put pressure on us through military action, force us to loosen our mouths, and take Datong from us at the smallest cost." ”

The smile on Chief of Staff Zhou's face disappeared, and his brows furrowed again: "The request given to us by the headquarters is that if there is no military conflict, it is our business to talk about it." ”

"So we can't exchange fire with the Jin Sui army no matter what, and if they really put military pressure on us in the negotiations, then our pressure will be great."

"In case the Jin Sui army really puts military pressure on us, do you have any countermeasures?"

"If it really doesn't work, let's let go, I'm already very satisfied with being able to get some things from Jin Suijun."

Li Hao thought for a moment and replied: "Chief, I'm thinking about a question. ”

"For the sake of unity, we don't want to break out into conflict with the Jin Sui army. On the other hand, the Jin Suijun definitely doesn't want to clash with us. ”

"If you really want to talk about it, the strength of the Jin Sui Army is far worse than ours now, not only is the strength far inferior to our Eighth Route Army, but the territory controlled is also much smaller than our Eighth Route Army. If it really gets stiff, no matter how much it doesn't take care of, the Jin Sui Army will definitely not be the opponent of our Eighth Route Army. ”

"I believe that the top level of the Jin Suijun must be clear about this."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't be in a hurry to occupy Datong, hold this cornucopia in their hands, and reduce their economic pressure."

Chief of Staff Zhou is much higher than Li Hao, and he knows a lot more information than Li, so he immediately agreed: "That's true." ”

"The current strength of the Jin Sui Army is very weak, guarding a large area in the southwest of Jin, but it has to feed more than 100,000 troops."

"In the first two or three years of the Anti-Japanese War, they can still eat the old foundation."

"No one thought that the Anti-Japanese War would last so long, and after a few years, they almost finished eating up the old foundation."

"Intelligence shows that the current Jin Sui Army is too much of an economic pressure, ordinary soldiers can only receive half of the previous salary, not to mention the officers, the higher the rank, the proportion of military salaries received at the end of the month, and the soldiers eat much worse than the original."

"At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Jin Sui Army had the backing of the Taiyuan Arsenal, and each soldier could get more than 100 rounds of ammunition on the battlefield, so he didn't have to worry about ammunition at all."

"Nowadays, it would be nice for each soldier to get 30 rounds of ammunition on the battlefield."

"The quality of the soldiers is also much worse than before, the last attack on Datong, they lost their troops, although they got back a large number of prisoners, but the recruits of several main divisions still accounted for more than half."

"Our Eighth Route Army has always been behind enemy lines, there are battles, and it only takes a few months for new recruits to become veterans."

"They can't do it, if the troops are stationed behind the defense line, they may not be able to get a battle for half a year."

"So they want to train recruits to become veterans, as short as half a year, as long as a year."

"The three main divisions currently assembled on the side of Datong are exactly the ones that failed in the last attack on Datong and were rebuilt. I plan to let them take over Datong, and they will be ashamed. ”

"So your analysis is correct: the Jin Suijun doesn't want to have a military conflict with us, so it's hard to know that it's starting to be weak now."

Li Hao suddenly spoke, and his words were full of confidence: "Chief, no matter whether Jin Suijun has a weak heart or not, we have to find a way to make them weak." ”

"Only then will they not dare to casually exert military pressure on us."

"At the negotiation table, we will be more confident."

Chief of Staff Zhou is not a vegetarian either, and two words popped up in Li Hao's mind as soon as he mentioned it: "Demonstration!" ”

He immediately asked: "Comrade Li Hao, the only way to make the Jin Sui army weak is to demonstrate, so that they can see the strong strength of our Eighth Route Army, and think that they are not our opponents after the conflict breaks out between the two sides, so that they will not dare to rashly exert military pressure on us, and try their best to win Datong through negotiations." ”

Li Hao said with admiration: "The chief is powerful, I think so too." ”

"The puppet army that has been confronting the Jin Sui army for more than a thousand days has not been wiped out, my idea is to kill them in front of the Jin Sui army, and to end the battle in front of the Jin Sui army, so that they can see our strong strength."

"The heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment is still in Datong, and there are more than a dozen mountain artillery captured by the troops in the city plus their own equipment."

"Together with mortars, we can put together a group of one hundred and fifty guns of different calibers and types."

"Transfer all of them to the front line, and then transfer three main regiments to the past, and destroy this puppet army of more than 1,000 days with lightning speed."

"When attacking, all artillery will participate in the battle, don't be afraid of wasting shells, first give the Japanese puppet army a two-minute artillery preparation, and then the whole army will attack, so that the Jin Sui army can have a good look at the strength of our Eighth Route Army, and we dare not cause a military conflict than us."

Chief of Staff Zhou's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he replied excitedly: "More than 150 artillery pieces are divided into three, and each regiment can be divided into more than 50 guns, and give the devils a salvo for two minutes before attacking, that scene will definitely be unprecedented, and the Jin Sui army, which has the highest proportion of artillery equipment, may not have seen it, and it will definitely be able to scare many of them." ”

Speaking of this, Chief of Staff Zhou didn't say a word: "In addition to ordinary artillery, flying thunder cannons can also be used." ”

"Although the range is short, the explosion is powerful, and it looks like a heavy cannon from a distance."

"Not only to let the Jin Sui army know that we have a lot of artillery, but also to let them know that our artillery has a large caliber."

"Comrade Li Hao: You are responsible for arranging the artillery, and I will arrange the troops, and strive to eat the more than 1,000-day puppet army on the side of the Jinsui Army tomorrow night."

The Pingshan Village stronghold was the largest stronghold built by the Japanese puppet army in the south of Datong, with a garrison of more than 600 people, including more than 200 devils and more than 300 puppet soldiers.

Don't look at the small number of troops, but the fortifications in the stronghold are very strong.

Turrets, bunkers, bunkers, everywhere.

Because the Jin Sui army was equipped with a large number of siege mountain artillery, these fortifications were all built of cement and stone, which was very strong.

Less than a kilometer further south of the village was the Jin Sui army's defensive line, and in the past few days, a main division of nearly 8,000 men had been assembled here.

As long as the theater gives the order to attack, they will sweep the Pingshan stronghold as soon as possible.

The battle plan of the division headquarters has already been drawn up.

After the battle began, the division's mountain artillery battalion took cover, gathered a regiment of troops to launch a surprise attack, and took an hour to solve the Japanese puppet army in Pingshan Village.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the forward troops of the 12th Regiment in the northwest base area of Shanxi began to appear outside the village.

The quiet village soon became lively, and in order to cheer themselves up and strengthen their courage, the Japanese puppet army shot flares into the sky one after another.

The area of the stronghold and the surrounding area of three or four hundred meters are clearly illuminated, and a cat can see clearly from the outside.

More than ten minutes later, the main force of the 12th Regiment appeared and surrounded the stronghold

As soon as the news reached the Jin Sui Army, the officers in the division were all awakened and gathered at the front position, some were dissatisfied, some were happy, and some did not hear the news, their expressions were calm and very calm.
