Chapter 278: Begin to act
At the end of the meeting, the political commissar said worriedly; "Division commander, it doesn't seem like a big problem to take Taiyuan, but I'm worried that taking Taiyuan will stab a hornet's nest, and what should the Japanese army do when they turn all their attention to our Eighth Route Army?"
Zhang Cheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Political commissar, you are too worried, now the biggest opponent of the Japanese army is still the Kuomintang authorities, although the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in the south, but if they want to force the Kuomintang authorities to surrender without much effort, it is absolutely impossible."

Although Chang Kaishen is the most hated enemy of our Workers' and Peasants' Party, I think he is the one with the firmest anti-Japanese position of the Kuomintang authorities, because Chang Kaishen went to the battlefield of resistance against Japan as the leader of a country, just like Cao Cao's army pressed the border during the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su said to Sun Quan, the rest can be surrendered, but the lord cannot surrender, Chang Kaishen is facing the same situation as Sun Quan.
Chang Kaishen as the nominal leader of China, his generals can surrender to the Japanese army, but Chang Kaishen can not surrender to the Japanese army, so he can only resist the Japanese to the end, as long as Chang Kaishen resolutely resists Japan to the end, the Kuomintang authorities as the only legitimate government in China at present, then it is naturally the number one enemy of the Japanese army, this is not which city our Eighth Route Army breaks, or eliminate a few divisions can be changed.
Moreover, if our Eighth Route Army wants to play a greater role in the battlefield of resistance against Japan and win the hearts of more people across the country, then we must strike hard at the Japanese devils on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, recover more lost territory, and gain the support of more people. ”
After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, the political commissar suddenly felt that the mouth suddenly opened, since he had to put the right thing with the Japanese army sooner or later, there was not much difference between fighting early and fighting late, and now taking advantage of the emptiness of the Japanese army's strength in North China, it was only right to bite the Japanese army fiercely.
Li Yunlong has always been a brainless fan of Zhang Cheng, so naturally he made a decision to support the fight against Taiyuan with 120,000 points, and he said with a big grin: "The Japanese army in Taiyuan is empty, and it is the time to take Taiyuan.
In other words, what I look down on the most is Yan Laoxi, a rich man, who presses gold threads year after year, and makes wedding clothes for devils, he develops Taiyuan so richly, and it turns out that all of them are cheap devils.
I see, after we take Taiyuan, we will ruthlessly seize the assets of the Japanese army and traitors, and empty the arsenal in Taiyuan, then our base area and the Yulin Arsenal will be able to develop a thousand times over, and then as long as our Eighth Route Army grows stronger, whether it is the Kuomintang Army or the Japanese army, we can deal with them with ease, so why be afraid of wolves and tigers. ”
Li Yunlong has always had a shortcoming, that is, he likes to tell the truth nonsense, and his words are extremely rough, but his words are not rough, as soon as Li Yunlong's words came out, everyone immediately figured it out, no matter how this battle is fought, doing everything possible to develop and strengthen their own strength is the last word.
As long as the instructor can take Taiyuan City, he will be able to receive the fruitful results of Yan Laoxi's hard farming in Taiyuan for decades, and the Taiyuan Arsenal is one of the three major arsenals in the history of the Republic of China, both in terms of production scale and technical ability, far beyond the Yulin Arsenal under the guidance of the instructor, like the extra-large grenade that Zhang Cheng saw on the officers and soldiers of the 196th Brigade in Yuanping before, which was the product of the Taiyuan Arsenal, which made the comrades salivate at that time.
Zhang Cheng immediately made a decision and said categorically: "Although Li Yunlong's words are rough, they are not rough, our Eighth Route Army is now the weakest force among China's three forces, and the Japanese army and the Kuomintang army are far stronger than us, and if we develop step by step, we can only widen the gap with them, so our development must be a leapfrog development, and if we swallow it slowly, it will not be good for our Eighth Route Army."
There is no need to discuss the topic of whether or not to attack Taiyuan, and the most pressing task at present is to lay out a plan for attacking Taiyuan, and I intend to make the following arrangements: First, the First Air Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Air Force will raid the Taiyuan airfield tomorrow evening, destroy the Japanese army's army aviation units in Taiyuan, and seize air supremacy over Taiyuan.
Second, the special operations brigade sent a small detachment to get in touch with the underground party organizations in Taiyuan City, asking them to create a riot in the city in order to contain the Japanese army's defending forces.
Third, the first brigade will attack the north gate, the fourth brigade will attack the east gate, the fifth brigade will attack the west gate, and the divisional combat unit will attack the south gate.
Fourth, the special operations brigade raided the Taiyuan railway station and blocked the railway in and out of Taiyuan.
On these four points, the comrades of the General Staff Office should draw up a plan according to this idea. In addition, before emptying Taiyuan, we must hold Taiyuan firmly for a week, everyone's action must be fast and powerful, the sooner we take Taiyuan, the more time we have.
In addition, the comrades of the Communications Office sent a telegram to the headquarters, asking them to order other fraternal units to cooperate with our actions and create disturbances in various parts of Jin Province to confuse the sight of the Japanese army. As for the Japanese troops in the direction of Shijiazhuang and Datong, it will be even more necessary to rely on the fraternal units of our Eighth Route Army to launch a sabotage war, as long as Tongpu Road and Zhengtai Road are paralyzed, the Japanese army will not be able to help us at all, and can only watch us empty Taiyuan. ”
At this time, the political commissar asked again: "What about Yan Laoxi, will he ask us for it if we take Taiyuan?" ”
Zhang Cheng laughed when he heard this: "I can't ask for it, but this will have to wait until we move Taiyuan out!" ”
The political commissar's eyes lit up when he heard this, Zhang Cheng's actions were undoubtedly throwing the black pot to Yan Laoxi, and if Yan Laoxi really received Taiyuan, he would have to face the strong pressure of the Japanese army, and it was estimated that Yan Laoxi would want to cry without tears by then.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of November 20, the Japanese patrol in Taiyuan City was much tighter, and at this time, the brigade commander of the 118th Brigade of the Japanese Supreme Commander stationed in Taiyuan, Major General Benchuan Province, had already received a report from the Front Army about all the jade fragments of the Fifth Division.
That is the Fifth Division, the combat effectiveness in the Japanese army is second only to the second and sixth divisions of the strong division, in the Japanese army known as the "steel army", in the Xinkou battlefield with half of the strength of the division and the strength of the more than 30 divisions of the Fifth Division, the Fifth Division, which the army still can't help, was suddenly annihilated by a teacher of the Eighth Route Army.
And what made Benchuan Province three even more frightened was that Xinzhou was only 80 kilometers away from Taiyuan City, and if the instructor came to attack Taiyuan, it would only take a day and a half to get troops under the city. But at present, the Japanese army in Taiyuan City is only less than 4,000 troops, and the defense can be described as unprecedentedly weak.
Frightened by the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, the three people of Benchuan Province immediately ordered the Japanese army to close the gate of Taiyuan, strictly prohibiting everyone from entering and leaving, he longed to have people patrol Taiyuan City 24 hours a day, as long as he found that the Eighth Route Army had a hint of attacking Taiyuan, he was good to ask for help from the front army as soon as possible.
It's a pity that no matter how strict the precautions are, for the special operations brigade of the instructor, it is no different from nothing, Zhang Shanhe and others have quietly infiltrated Taiyuan City at this time, and found Comrade Guan Zhongxun, the head of the Taiyuan underground party.
