He Zhengdao, who returned to Yulin, was also very satisfied with this trip to Yan'an. It's just that He Zhengdao knows in his heart that the next step in his tiger mouth plan to be implemented is safe and thorough, and the difficulty is not small.

The first thing he did when he arrived at the base area was to order the 1st and 2nd Divisions to rest for more than a month and to carry out a covert change of defense with regiments as units. The main forces of the two divisions were all secretly assembled in the Fugu area to hide and stand by.

In addition, the reconnaissance brigade of the independent column, as well as the saber special combat team, were all sent out. What they need to do is to report to the independent column at any time on the current situation in Shanxi through the radio they carry.

When He Zhengdao began to secretly mobilize troops, the four main divisions of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Shanxi all received telegrams from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Let them cooperate with the independent column and carry out the upcoming Battle of New Taiyuan.

The so-called Battle of New Taiyuan is a backup battle plan for He Zhengdao to realize that after the independent column launched a plan to seize food, the Japanese army is likely to send a large force to encircle and suppress it, and it will be launched again around Taiyuan and Xinzhou.

As the main forces of the two divisions were assembled in the Fugu area one after another, He Zhengdao looked at his old partner who was a little reluctant, and said with a smile: "Political commissar, this mess in the base area will trouble you and Lao Yao to be responsible." I'm with the chief of staff, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back in a short time. ”

'Commander, rest assured! You can leave the rest to me and Director Yao. This operation is different from the past, and I hope that the commander will keep in mind his post and never be rash and personally involved in dangerous situations. ’

About the previous attack on Suiyuan City. He Zhengdao personally led the special combat team to carry out street fighting, and Xiao Jinguang was indeed a little afraid. Even if Xiao Jinguang knows. There are many generals like He Zhengdao in the Eighth Route Army who like to go to the front line.

But the problem is that He Zhengdao is too important for the Eighth Route Army today. Even. His role in the Separate Column is irreplaceable. Even if he is the political commissar of the column, he is also inferior to He Zhengdao in terms of prestige.

He Zhengdao, who was advised, could only smile and said: "Political commissar, don't worry!" I'm still young, and I want to contribute to the army and the country for a few more years! For a while, the little devil won't dare to do anything to me, and you should also pay attention.

According to the information we have obtained, at present, Baotou has once again stationed an air force brigade of a little devil. After thinking about it, they should carry out frequent air strikes. On the matter of air defense, I hope that the political commissar will pay more attention. Warning the people to pay attention to air defense. ”

'Well, I remember that!' We've been preparing for so long, even if the little devils attack with air, I'm afraid they won't get any benefit. What's more, don't you already have countermeasures? ’

Xiao Jinguang, who replied to He Zhengdao with a smile, was actually not very worried about the little devil air force in Baotou. In the current situation, if the little devil's air force dares to invade Yulin, then Baotou and Suiyuan are afraid that they will be in chaos again.

In today's situation. Presumably, the little devil didn't dare to push the Eighth Route Army too much. In a short period of time, before the railway was repaired, the troops they sent to Suiyuan and Baotou were actually very dangerous.

Not to mention. The recruit units of the reconnaissance brigade of the independent column have already lurked there for actual combat training. This kind of recruit training will also make the little devil anxious. In a word. Be a neighbor with the Eighth Route Army, and the little devil doesn't want to get benefits.

Lead a special operations detachment and a reconnaissance battalion. He Zhengdao and Wang Tianlin arrived in the Fugu area overnight. The commanders and fighters of the 1st and 2nd Divisions, who had been here for some time, quickly assembled under He Zhengdao's telegram order.

Looking at the divisional commander of the column at the convergence headquarters. He Zhengdao also looked very happy. In any case, after a period of rest and recuperation, the combat effectiveness and morale of these two main divisions have increased a lot.

Looking at everyone coming, He Zhengdao was not too direct, and ordered someone to hang up the map and said: "Comrades, I believe you are all very curious about the battle plan this time. But I never said it, and the reason was to keep the battle plan a secret.

At present, the Japanese army has launched an encirclement of Taiyuan, and will soon launch an attack on Taiyuan. According to the current situation, the Jin Sui army was only afraid that it would not be able to resist the attack of the Japanese army, and the fall of Taiyuan was only a matter of time.

And this time, our independent column is going to Taiyuan City. It's just that what we did when we went to Taiyuan was not to die with the little devils, but to snatch all the industrial equipment that the Jin Sui army had no time to move to our base area.

For this battle, I have already formulated a plan half a year ago, and this battle is also known as the 'tiger's mouth'. Cooperate with us in carrying out this battle plan with the four main divisions of our Eighth Route Army.

Next, the task of your two main divisions is to ensure that after the reconnaissance brigade captures the supplies, they will buy time for us to transfer the supplies. And then, instead of fighting, you have to secretly reach the ambush site I have chosen in advance.

As for the battle on the surface, the main force of the third division will be used as a feint to attract Japanese troops in the Xinzhou area to support in the direction of Shuozhou. The Fourth Division, which is currently stationed in the Qingshuihe area, will also cooperate in launching a feint to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

In this operation, the core T is a fast word. The troops who snatched the transferred supplies of the Japanese army had to move the supplies to the Yuanping area as quickly as possible. Once our army succeeds, then the Japanese army on the line from Yuanping to Fugu must be surrounded or destroyed.

The reconnaissance unit we sent to the occupied areas earlier has already sent back the news. At present, most of the garrisons in Xinzhou and other places occupied by the Japanese army are garrison units of the North China Front, and their combat effectiveness is slightly inferior to that of the Japanese army.

It's just that in the next two divisions and eight regiments, you must secretly arrive near the county town along the line as quickly as possible to assemble and stand by. When the time comes, I will arrange for a guide from the reconnaissance brigade to lead you to a safe point. ”

After listening to He Zhengdao's combat narration, the two main division commanders said with their eyes shining: "Commander, are we going to rob Yan Laoxi's arsenal?" That's the largest arsenal in the Northwest! ”

'Wrong! It's not to rob Yan Laoxi, but to rob the little devil. Once Taiyuan City falls, those things are all little devils. In this operation, the first task of our operation is to grab these machinery and equipment, and the second is to fight the Japanese army.

When the Northeast Army retreated to the Guannei, their Northeast Arsenal was looted by the little devils. Now the little devils use the weapons produced by the Northeast Arsenal to wantonly slaughter our soldiers and civilians in the War of Resistance. This kind of thing can't be repeated in any way.

Therefore, considering that our army is in urgent need of advanced machinery and equipment, I have formulated this battle plan. The chief of staff is responsible for the interdiction mission. As for the task of looting supplies, I am personally responsible. ’

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng said with a little worry: "Commander, you want to go to the dangerous place again?" ”

'What do you mean again?' This time, leading the reconnaissance brigade and the saber special combat team into Taiyuan, none of you can be responsible. The reason is very simple: you don't know what special operations are, and you don't know Japanese, so you can't carry out camouflage operations behind enemy lines.

In addition to this, the Japanese army is currently deploying a tank brigade near the city of Taiyuan. I believe you all know how much damage and losses this tank brigade will inflict on our army with the equipment of our army at present.

Therefore, this time I took the reconnaissance brigade and the saber special combat team into Taiyuan, and I still wanted to find an opportunity to surrender this tank brigade. For the tank armored car of the little devils, which of you will drive? In contrast, the reconnaissance brigade was able to do it.

Anyway, I know you're all out of concern for my safety, and you don't want me to be too involved in the danger. But at present, we are in the War of Resistance, and from the top to the large, regardless of the old and the young, we must contribute to the War of Resistance. As a commander, am I not a part of the War of Resistance?

If you really want me to be safe, then complete the task I have given me. If there is any situation, I will report it to you in a timely manner by telegram. What's more, judging from the current situation of the little devils, they are all only staring at Taiyuan City!

And you haven't heard that the most dangerous places are the safest. Now that the whole of Shanxi is in chaos, as long as I don't take the initiative to reveal my identity, who will know that I am the commander of the independent column of the Eighth Route Army? ’

After some explanation and comfort, the two division commanders didn't say much. As for Chief of Staff Wang Tianlin, he was persuaded by He Zhengdao before the meeting. As the righteous way says, there are some things that they really can't replace.

After the meeting on operational deployment, the reconnaissance brigade began its march day and night with battalions and companies as units. There were scouts sent in advance to instruct them, and these units were able to avoid some areas where the Japanese army was tightly fortified.

Even during the day, the Japanese army would dispatch reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the rear. But in the face of the independent column that did not come out at all during the day, they also found nothing.

The limited number of planes are now more and more transferred to the Taiyuan battlefield to bomb Fu Zuoyi's troops who are sticking to Taiyuan City. And He Zhengdao also took the Japanese camouflage battalion and the saber special combat team of the reconnaissance brigade, and many times even began to rush during the day.

The reason is that as the vanguard, they need to infiltrate the Taiyuan area in advance and formulate the next robbery plan. Along the way, He Zhengdao mostly chose to walk in deserted places until he arrived at Yangqu in the hinterland of Taiyuan.

When they arrived in Yangqu, He Zhengdao ordered the troops to stop. The reason is that this is already the defense area of the 120 of the Eighth Route Army. It's just that the division headquarters of the 120th Division is still a little far from here, and no troops have been sent here for the time being.

The most important thing is that the Japanese army, which mainly went to Taiyuan, still deployed many Japanese infantry squadrons and garrisons here. Most of these garrison troops controlled the communication arteries and passes to ensure the safety of the Japanese troops advancing into Taiyuan.

And the place where He Zhengdao chose to stop was an important passage for them to retreat. In order to ensure the safety of the follow-up operation, this nail stuck in the retreat road, He Zhengdao must remove it no matter what.

As for staying behind, He Zhengdao believes that with the cooperation of the 120th Division, it is unlikely that the little devil will break through in a short time. It's just that when to remove this nail, He Zhengdao still needs to plan! (To be continued.) )
