"Then ......" Lu Xiufeng said with some embarrassment, "Boss, how should the two hundred students be arranged?" The Military Commission has asked several times, and I have said that they are still on the road, but they can't always be on the road, right? ”

Yue Weihan pondered for a moment and said, "A group of literate combat backbones will be drawn from the main forces of the Baoshan Division, and the number of them will be about three hundred, plus these two hundred students, and they will be organized into a teaching brigade, which is about to start attacking, so that the teaching brigade will also participate in the battle, and only after experiencing the test of blood and fire will they really grow up." ”

"Attack?" Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this, didn't he say that he wanted to defend, why did he become an offensive again?

"Finally, I don't have to train anymore!" Lu Xiufeng rolled up his sleeves, he was about to go crazy in the past two months.

Yue Weihan nodded, and said: "The New Fifth Army has achieved a great victory in Hengyang, and the offensive momentum of the Yue Army has been curbed, if nothing else, the Yue Army will end the offensive on the frontal battlefield within half a month, and the next step will definitely be to carry out a large-scale law and order battle against the occupied area, and our Taihang Base Area will definitely be the number one target of the Yue Army!" ”

Liu Yi immediately guessed Yue Weihan's intentions, and said quickly: "So we have to strike first, before the heavy reinforcements of the Yue army return to launch a large-scale public security and suppression war, annihilate the surrounding Yue army as much as possible, expand and consolidate the Taihang base area, and win more favorable conditions for the next anti-sweeping operation?" ”

"Yes." Yue Weihan nodded heavily, "Attack is the best defense!" ”

Lu Xiufeng rolled up his sleeves and put them down again, and said, "Boss, just say it directly, how to fight this battle?" ”

Yue Weihan's gaze turned to Liu Yi and asked, "Chief of Staff, if you were the commander of the North China Front Army, what tactics would you adopt to attack the Taihang Base Area?" ”

"East and west, two sides!" Liu Yi said without thinking, "It is difficult to take care of the head and tail of our army!" ”

Yue Weihan asked Lu Xiufeng again: "Xiufeng, do you say that such tactics pose a big threat to us?" ”

"Big, of course big!" Lu Xiufeng scratched his head and said, "Although the Tumen Fortress has been built, it is still unknown how much of a role it can play, although the terrain of Niangzi Pass is steep, as long as the army is willing to pay for its blood, it is still quite hanging, the key is that we have to take care of both ends, and we can't concentrate on meeting the enemy with all our strength." ”

"That's a good point." Yue Weihan said, "So we have to strike first and cut off all the way!" ”

"Preemptively, cut off its way?" Liu Yi said, "There are two field divisions of the Yue Army stationed in the direction of Shimen, and with the strength of our 39th Group Army, it is absolutely impossible to eat it now, but only the 20th Division of the Yue Army is stationed in the Taiyuan direction, and it has just been rebuilt, if the tactics are used properly, there is still a chance to eat it." ”

Yue Weihan didn't say anything, just brushed the ground and spread out the military topographic map of Shanxi.

Yue Weihan knocked on the map and said: "The intelligence department just intercepted the communication telegram of the Yue army not long ago, and the North China Front of the Yue army has redivided the combat area, the first army of the Xiangyue Qingsi is still in charge of Shanxi, and the first army is under the jurisdiction of the 5th and 20th divisions and the 3rd, 9th, and 16th brigades of the Reading Power Mix. ”

"Among them, the 5th Division has been transferred to the Central China Battlefield and cannot be rebuilt in a short time."

"The 20th Division has just been rebuilt based on the remnants of the Shanxia Brigade that fled back from Niangzi Pass, and the 9th Brigade of Reading Power Mixed in Taiyuan, and the 22nd Wing of Reading Field Artillery has not yet been deployed in place."

"The 3rd Brigade of Reading Power Mixed Brigade is stationed in Laoxian (now Yuanping), about 200 miles away from Taiyuan."

"The 3rd Brigade of Reading Power Mixed has 6 infantry brigades, and there are also field artillery brigades directly under it, engineering brigades, baggage brigades and cavalry brigades, of which two infantry brigades are stationed in the surrounding counties.

"The 9th Brigade of Reading Power Mixed in Taiyuan has been incorporated into the 20th Division, and it is said that the army has requisitioned more than 6,000 reserve troops from North Korea and Taiwan, and intends to rebuild the Reading Power Mixed 9th Brigade in Beiping, but this is still a matter of absence in a short period of time, so there is no need to think about it."

"The 16th Brigade is stationed in Fenyang, which is almost two hundred miles away from Taiyuan, and once something happens in Taiyuan, the troops that can be mobilized immediately are three infantry brigades."

Speaking of this, Yue Weihan deliberately paused.

Liu Yi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and then said: "That is to say, the mobile strength of the Yue Army stationed in Shanxi is the 20th Division that has just been rebuilt, plus a maximum of six infantry brigades. ”

"But now the Tumen Fortress has been basically completed!" Without waiting for Liu Yi to finish speaking, Lu Xiufeng hurriedly said, "With Tumen Fortress as the eastern barrier, as long as we leave one main regiment, it will be enough for us to protect the base area, and our 39th Group Army will be able to unscrupulously concentrate all our efforts to solve the army stationed in Shanxi!" ”

"And we're not alone!" Yue Weihan said, "If our 39th Group attacks the Shanxi Army, the Eighth Route Army will definitely fully cooperate with us, and Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army will also be happy to take over Shanxi, as for the Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, it will not be a problem, General Wei Lihuang's patriotic enthusiasm is undoubted!" ”

In a few words, an extremely bold battle plan was released!

Yue Weihan is really ambitious, he wants to swallow the army stationed in Shanxi in one bite and recover the entire territory of Shanxi!

But then again, if the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army could all actively cooperate with the 39th Group Army, this plan would really be realized, you must know that the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army that retreated to Zhongtiao Mountain at that time had as many as 180,000 people in ten group armies, and the total strength of the Eighth Route Army and the 39th Group Army had exceeded 300,000.

At that time, the total number of troops stationed in Shanxi was only 40,000, and the difference in strength between the two armies was extremely large!

Of course, due to the lack of supplies of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army that retreated to Zhongtiao Mountain, coupled with the practice of deducting military salaries and eating empty salaries, the morale of the officers and men was extremely low, and their combat effectiveness dropped very sharply.

However, no matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, it is still an army of 200,000!

With the cooperation of these 20 armies, it should always be enough to block the devil reinforcements in the direction of Laoxian and Fenyang, and to fight Taiyuan, Yue Weihan originally did not count on others, with the current equipment and combat effectiveness of the Baoshan Division, it can completely shake the field division of the Yue Army head-on, and it is naturally no problem to deal with the 20th Division that has just been rebuilt and lacks a field artillery wing.

Yue Weihan said to Liu Yi again: "Chief of Staff, you immediately convene the operational staff to draw up a detailed operational plan, in addition to the operational plan for attacking Taiyuan, the operational plan for defending the Tumen Fortress also needs to be carefully considered, especially not passive defense, in addition, the dozens of battalions scattered out should also show their strength." ”

"Yes." Liu Yi stood upright, then turned around and walked away.

Yue Weihan said to Lu Xiufeng again: "Xiufeng, immediately count the combat materials, distribute the weapons and ammunition to all troops, and in addition, Li Qinglong's 1st Regiment and the 1st Branch of the Field Hospital will immediately enter the Tumen Fortress!" ”

"Yes." Lu Xiufeng also saluted Yue Weihan with a military salute, and then turned around.

Seeing Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng's figures go away, Yue Weihan turned around and walked into the telecommunications room next door.

…………

Deep in the Taihang Mountains, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"What did you say?" Mr. Peng's eyes widened, staring at Division Commander Liu of the 129th Division, and said in disbelief, "Yue Weihan, this kid wants to fight Taiyuan?" Did I hear me right? ”

Master Liu smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid Yue Weihan really wants to fight Taiyuan this time." ”

After saying this, Division Commander Liu said: "There are all kinds of signs that Yue Weihan wants to build Jingcheng Pass into a strong and large military fortress, and now, the east and west sides of Jingcheng Pass are facing the threat of the army, from a military point of view, this is extremely unfavorable, this situation must be changed, otherwise it is not conducive to holding on." ”

"The question is how to change?" Mr. Peng shook his head and said, "Jingcheng Pass is located between Shanxi and Hebei, facing the east-west attack of the First Army stationed in Shanxi and the Fourth Army stationed in Hebei, if Yue Weihan attacks Taiyuan, the Fourth Army will definitely copy his back road, if Yue Weihan attacks Shimen, the First Army will also copy his back road, he does not have the conditions to take the initiative to attack?" ”

Senior Commander Liu smiled slightly and said, "This, I'm afraid I have to ask Yue Weihan himself." ”

The chief of staff of Zuo said: "Boss, you just give a happy word, do we cooperate with the Eighth Route Army or not?" ”

Mr. Peng pondered for a moment, and then said to the chief of staff of Zuo: "The matter is very important, let's ask Yan'an for instructions." ”

"Okay, I'll go and send a telegram to Yan'an." Chief of Staff Zuo nodded, turned around and went into the telecommunications room next door.

Speaking of which, General Gu, Chief of Staff Zuo, and Division Commander Liu are all senior generals of our party and our army, but they really don't know that Yue Weihan has secretly joined the party, in fact, Yue Weihan's entry into the party is the number one secret of [***], and the insiders are only [***], Mr. Zhu, Zhou Gong, Zhao Xinyi and other Liao Liao people.

Yan'an's reply was unexpectedly fast, just four words: full cooperation!

At this time in Yan'an, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee had just come to an end, and at the meeting, [***] made a political report on "On the New Stage", which also marked that [***] had become the de facto leader of [***], and forced by the needs of the situation, the Comintern also sent a telegram of instructions symbolically, indirectly recognizing [***] in [***] leading position!

It is worth noting that the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the [***] no longer hung the portraits of [***] and President Zhu, not even the portraits of Marx, Engels or Lenin, and at the meeting, for the first time, the clear concept that China [***] is Chinese was put forward, marking that [***] has really begun to mature.
