The two battles between Jingcheng and Yangmingbao can be regarded as the prelude to the great battle that opened the independent column to march into Taiyuan. He Zhengdao, who set up a wartime temporary headquarters in Yangqu, also paid attention to the reaction of the Japanese army in Taiyuan City.

From the current point of view, the battles in these two places have indeed attracted the attention of the Japanese army. The rear was unstable, and the Japanese troops on the front did not dare to advance too fast. In the final analysis, in fact, the commander of the Japanese army was also very worried about the risk of being copied from the back road.

Knowing that the Japanese army had opened an infantry brigade from Taiyuan, He Zhengdao looked at Li Xiangdong and said: "At present, in the entire Taiyuan City, there should be only one infantry brigade and one artillery wing left in the entire Taiyuan City, right?" ”

'Yes, Commander! However, the little devil is near Taiyuan, and there are still many garrisons! According to our reconnaissance, these two devils are even more hateful to our people than those little devils! ’

According to the information provided by various reconnaissance teams, in order to ensure the sharp edge of the frontline attack, the Japanese army transferred a lot of garrison troops to the rear of the occupied area. These garrison units were all garrison units formed from various occupied areas in North China.

Except for a small number of Japanese commanders, most of the rest of the garrison members were puppet troops who had been recruited. In order to realize the policy of using China to contain China, the Japanese army likes to let these puppet soldiers do some dirty work.

This also leads to the fact that the people in the occupied areas hate these puppet soldiers very much, calling them 'two devils'. In response to this situation, He Zhengdao felt the need to do something. But at present, it is more important to plan for the tiger's mouth!

Listening to Li Xiangdong's words, He Zhengdao nodded and said, "Don't worry!" The Sixth Special Operations Detachment, which is currently in the saber training camp, will almost finish its training in just over a month. At that time, these two devils will be left for them to do actual combat training.

Tell our recon squad. For the puppet army commanders in the occupied areas at present, the kind that is extremely positive in the crime. Investigate them all for me. When the sixth phase of the special operations detachment trial is over, it will be time for them to repay their crimes! ”

'Yes. Commander! ’

Three days after arriving in Yangqu, the reconnaissance team of the 120th Division went to Luliang to contact and returned smoothly. It's just that when he saw the people who led the troops over, He Zhengdao was a little shocked.

Hurriedly ran outside the headquarters in person, and said with a surprised face: "Mr. He, why are you here?" ”

'Can't I come?' If you want my troops to cooperate in the battle, shouldn't I, as the division commander, come here? On the way to Yangqu. I've heard it all. In the 115th Division, you sent a regiment of prisoners of war, and the 129th Division had countless weapons and ammunition.

At the moment, our 120th division is not having a good time, and I want to come over and touch the light of your independent division. This time, I've pulled all the main forces over, and I'm counting on you to find us some good deals! How's that, that's interesting, right? ’

Looking at Mr. He, who was smiling all over his face, He Zhengdao, who had several contacts at the headquarters, also felt that this boss was really good to him. Even if the two don't deal with each other much, the relationship between the two seems to be really good.

Facing Mr. He's jokes. He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "Boss, you came here in person, do you know from the headquarters?" ”

'Got it!' I'm not like you, I always like to be on the front line and command battles! You're still as bold as ever. With a brigade of troops, he hid under the noses of the little devils, and he had enough guts! ’

'Boss. It's called darkness under the lamp. What's more, the little devil's current attention is in Jinxi. It doesn't take to think we're under his nose. Since the headquarters has agreed to your coming, then I can leave the matter here to you with confidence.

According to the current situation. The little devil almost demolished the things in Taiyuan City. I believe that in two or three days, they will be able to load those things into trucks, and when the Zhengtai line is reopened to traffic, they will be pulled to North China and sent to the port to be transported back to China.

Although these things belong to Yan Laoxi, but now that we are targeting, we can't let the little devil easily transport them away anyway. Next, the place from Yangqu to Yuanping will be the hardest hit area for us to clash with the little devils.

In short, the following battles we have fought mean that there must be a lot of seizures. But the casualties, I'm afraid, will not be too small. This time, since the boss has personally stepped out, I'm afraid that your 120th division will really come out with some family funds. ’

Although it was a little surprising that Mr. He personally came out with the main force, He Zhengdao also realized that his arrival was the attention of the headquarters. The two main division commanders went to the dangerous place in person, and once there was a mistake, it would not be a trivial matter.

After introducing some of the current situation on the battlefield to Mr. He. Mr. He took the cigarette handed by He Zhengdao and said with a smile: "You don't smoke, why do you have good cigarettes every time?" ”

Most of these cigarettes are used for hospitality. Be prepared, and be prepared! If the boss likes to smoke, I'll ask Xiangdong to send you a box later. We seized quite a few of these things some time ago. ’

'It's not a bribe, is it?' ’

A box of cigarettes can bribe Mr. He, this price is too cheap! ’

The humorous conversation between the two made the brigade commanders and regiment commanders of the 120th Division who followed Mr. He also look very happy. In any case, these 120 divisions adapted from the second and sixth divisions of the Red Army owe He Zhengdao a lot of favors.

At the beginning, they entered the Long March from the Xiangxi base area, and along the way, they dug up the supplies buried by He Zhengdao in advance. It was by relying on these supplies that they finally arrived in Sichuan and joined forces with the Red Fourth Front Army.

This time, when I learned that the Independent Division was going to attack Taiyuan, even though everyone knew that it was a tough battle, they still came without hesitation. Even Mr. He personally led the team, which is enough to show that they have always remembered the favor they owe He Zhengdao!

After laughing, Mr. He looked at the flat map and asked, "What are you going to do about the little devil's supplies?" If you attack Taiyuan City directly, with only your reconnaissance brigade and my 120th division, I'm afraid you still won't be able to defeat it, right? ”

On the way here, Mr. He also analyzed the plan of how to snatch the batch of machines from the little devils. But in his opinion, those supplies were very cumbersome, and if they were transported by rickshaws, I am afraid it would be very difficult.

In response to Mr. He's inquiry, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Taiyuan City, I'm not interested for the time being. I'm here for those machines. With this batch of machines, our military-industrial production will develop tremendously.

The boss of that batch of submachine guns should have tried it, right? If we were no longer constrained in terms of steel and bullets, our arsenal would produce at least 10,000 of these submachine guns every month.

If this submachine gun is used, it will be sent to the squad level for use. In terms of short-range firepower, we will have an advantage over the little devils. Whether it's offensive or defensive, we're going to take advantage of it.

And at present, the arsenal is developing a semi-automatic standard rifle with twice the ammunition capacity of existing rifles. With a special magazine, it can even be used as a submachine gun. In terms of range, it is also much stronger than the medium form.

It's just that we are limited by steel and bullets, and many of our things on paper cannot be transformed into reality. Therefore, these machines are too important for our entire Eighth Route Army. With guns and bullets, it will also be easier to expand the army. ”

'Yes! Weapons are also a long-standing and difficult problem that restricts the development of our army! To be honest, I have personally used your submachine gun, and its power is really good, much better than Yan Laoxi's Jin Zao. It's just a little bit! ’

In the face of Mr. He's dissatisfaction, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "Mr. He, you also know that at present, our Eighth Route Army has more monks and less porridge. You are all old chiefs, and the weapons I can send are already the limit of what we can produce.

At present, there are not many of our reconnaissance brigades equipped with such submachine guns. In fact, when there is no way to guarantee the supply of bullets, the kind of submachine guns that are installed in large quantities in the troops are actually not very useful. Mauser pistol cartridges, we also do not have a lot of stock.

At present, the Taiyuan Arsenal has such a bullet production line. As long as those machines are moved to our arsenal, I believe that in the future, submachine guns will also become the standard equipment of our Eighth Route Army, but we need to wait a little longer. ”

After talking about these things, He Zhengdao didn't make too many reservations, and told the commander of the 120th Division about the plan he formulated next. After listening to He Zhengdao's combat deployment, everyone was very surprised.

Only Mr. He sighed again: "Many people act in a layout, and they take one step at a time. You are the only one who always sees farther than others. Half a year ago, you did so much deployment, no wonder you have such confidence. ”

'Boss, I don't dare to take that seriously. At that time, these deployments were made more to blow up these arsenals, and in addition, they also wanted to make some money. Who knew that the Battle of Taiyuan would be like this!

Since Yan Laoxi can't keep his belongings, then we will snatch it from the little devil. Ago, when we bought weapons and ammunition with Jin Suijun, this guy was really unkind and made us a lot of money!

If these machines can be snatched up, and the weapons in their hands want to come in handy in the future, then obediently pay for them! You know, I have someone's money, which is also saved by hard work, and I have to vomit as much as I eat. ’

After hearing this, Mr. He, who listened to this, also smiled and said, "It seems that Yan Laoxi is going to vomit blood!" It's not good to offend anyone, but it's to offend you! However, he is a rich man and has ruled Shanxi for many years, and his family background is still very thick.

If he can empty out the belongings he has accumulated, I believe it is also very important for our base area. It's just that now that they have retreated to Linfen and other places, the situation is still worrying! ”

Hearing this, He Zhengdao nodded and said, "Not bad! It's just that once our plan is implemented, at least they can live a little more comfortably this winter. Hopefully, at this time, they can stabilize their existing defence and not retreat. ”

In He Zhengdao's view, once the tiger's mouth food plan is launched, the Japanese troops in Shanxi will be attracted to the Taiyuan and Xinzhou areas. In a short time, Jin Suijun should be able to take a breath, which can be regarded as relieving the siege for him! (To be continued.) )
