Zhou Gong's words made everyone a little excited, and Mr. Lin didn't know where to find a map, spread it out on the coffee table, and said to Jiang Haoran: "Comrade Ziqian, I pondered for two days, and finally cracked your killing move." ”

"Oh...... Tell me about it? Jiang Haoran was interested.

Mr. Lin moved the map in front of Jiang Haoran, stretched out his right hand and knocked on an area on the north bank of the Yellow River on the map, Jiang Haoran immediately showed a satisfied smile, but he didn't speak, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, signaling Mr. Lin to continue.

Mr. Lin said with a smile: "In the past few days, you have been bombing the Luokou Yellow River Railway Bridge, just to give Okamura Ningji an illusion, making him think that you are going to blow up the bridge and cut off their retreat, leaving all the island army on the south bank of the Yellow River to fight piecemeal and finally achieve the goal of annihilation." But your real purpose is this Yellow River Bridge, because without this bridge, all your heavy weapons and armored troops don't think about crossing the Yellow River, then the next Pingjin Battle will be extended for at least half a year, so you must ensure the safety of this bridge. But you also know that once the little devil withdraws from the south bank of the Yellow River, he will definitely blow it up at all costs. And your killing move is just before several tank divisions of the Jinpu line advance to the city of Jinan, with a sudden attack by the airborne division, airborne between Yucheng and Pingbei, with most of the direct attack on Luokou to seize the bridgehead on the north bank of the Yellow River Bridge, with a small part of the direct capture of Dezhou, blocking the island army Cangzhou, Hengshui direction reinforcements, in order to ensure the safety of the entire airborne division, this move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only blocking the enemy's retreat, but also so that the enemy does not dare to move the idea of blowing up the bridge, they can only choose to attack the north bank of the Yellow River. ”

Jiang Haoran praised the festival: "Mr. Lin really deserves to be the 'Han Xin in the Army', and he didn't make a mistake. ”

Mr. Lin: "Where is the ......"

Zhou Gongdao: "But I heard that the troops of the First Army of the Island Army have begun to retreat a few days ago, and their vanguard troops are afraid that they will enter Jinan City in less than two days, in order not to block the road of the troops behind, they will definitely cross the Yellow River directly, so that the pressure on your airborne division is probably unprecedented?" ”

Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said: "You can rest assured Zhou Gong, as long as the airborne division occupies the bridgehead, the rest will not be afraid, they will not fight alone, I will immediately mobilize hundreds of helicopters to fly over the Yellow River to support them, and if it doesn't work, I can also parachute the special operations division over, as long as the bridgehead is in our hands, even if it chokes the enemy's throat, we occupy the terrain of a man who is not open, and let the enemy's thousands of troops and horses be in vain." ”

"Good!" Zhou Gong's eyes lit up instantly.

Mr. Lin looked at Jiang Haoran and said with a smile: "Comrade Ziqian, I think you must have an important purpose for coming this time, right?" ”

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, then he became playful, and said with a smile: "I did come with a purpose, why don't you guess again?" ”

Mr. Lin smiled without saying a word, moved the map, faced Jiang Haoran, and knocked on the words Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang on the map with the middle finger of his right hand, and then said: "I think the purpose of your coming this time is to make our Eighth Route Army attack the two places and completely cut off their retreat before the 42nd Army of the Island Army retreats, right?" ”

Jiang Haoran was dumbfounded, and after a few seconds, he asked rhetorically with an extremely incredulous expression: "Our strength in the rear is so strong that we can take down two cities of this size at the same time?" ”

It is also difficult for Jiang Haoran to react, after Okamura Ningji took the position, he stopped all frontal attacks, but the sweep of the rear was quite cruel, otherwise it would not have forced the main force of Yan'an to go south, even if the remaining troops could use the cover of the mountains to survive, the combat effectiveness should be very limited, but as soon as Mr. Lin opened his mouth, he would have taken down two big cities, and it would be strange if he was not scared, he really didn't have such high expectations for them.

Mr. Lin obviously didn't expect Jiang Haoran to have such a big reaction, he was slightly stunned, but Zhou Gong smiled slightly, and said: "Comrade Ziqian, you may not know that before the second Battle of Wuhan, we were indeed struggling behind enemy lines, and almost all the troops were forced into the deep mountains and jungles by the little devils, but since the second Battle of Wuhan, the island army had to put its main forces into the frontal defense of the front, and the pressure on the rear plummeted. The Taihang Military Region was established on the basis of the Fifth Vertical, and the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region was established, starting from the Tianjin-Pudong Railway in the east, reaching the Tongpu Railway in the west, crossing the Longhai Railway in the south, and reaching the Deshi and Zhengtai Railways in the north, with a strength of nearly 300,000 troops. ”

Jiang Haoran still seemed a little incredulous, and stretched out three fingers to confirm again: "You said 300,000, I heard you right, right?" ”

Zhou Gong smiled and said: "Yes, it's 300,000, and I have to tell you that this is only our main force, if we really fight, it's not a problem to mobilize 500,000 people, of course, part of these 200,000 is our county brigade, district squad and other behind-the-enemy forces, and some are ordinary people, you know the battle of 100 regiments, it was claimed to be 200 regiments at that time, but in fact there were not so many, among which more than 200,000 ordinary people participated, but this proves that our mass foundation in this area is very good, so, Mr. Lin said that he did not brag about Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, after all, the strength of the island armies in the two places was not too much at this time, and while they were arranging a defensive line in front, we still had a good chance of winning by raiding and copying their nest. ”

Jiang Haoran was suddenly overjoyed, patted his thigh and said, "Great, with their island army, the forty-second army can't escape." ”

Mr. Lin said happily: "You promised us to attack Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang?" ”

Jiang Haoran said: "No, Mr. Lin, although I don't doubt that the Eighth Route Army has this strength, but in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I just want you to lay down Niangzi Pass and Xinkou, cut off the Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway, and hold it at all costs, completely block the back road of the Shanxi Island Army, and hand over the heavy task of destroying them to Yan Laoxi and Wei Lihuang." Just tighten the two pockets, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army are smaller, and our chances of victory are higher. ”

As soon as Jiang Haoran's words fell, Mr. Lin's eyes dimmed, and he looked at Zhou Gong a little unwillingly, as if waiting for Zhou Gong to say something more.

Jiang Haoran suddenly understood that the political significance of the Eighth Route Army's occupation of Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang was secondary, and the most important thing was that they had a foothold from then on, and they were still preparing for the future civil war.

But this is not what Jiang Haoran wants to see, first, he knows that it is almost impossible for a civil war to happen, and secondly, Taiyuan is Yan Laoxi's cake, and he doesn't want to give Yan Laoxi eye medicine before this, of course, the most important thing is to think about the current battle situation.
