In order to thank you for your great support, today is the third update, asking for recommendations, asking for collections......
At the beginning of December, Zhang Yunfei and his entourage returned to Shuozhou, and in addition to the more than 100 special combatants accompanying him, he also returned with Zhang Yunfei, as well as Chu Tianming, the former commander of the 355th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, who was dug up by Zhang Yunfei.
Tomorrow, it will be Zhang Yunfei and Yan Xishan agreed to launch an attack together, according to the agreement, tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, the Jin Sui army will go north from Linfen, attack and recover more than a dozen small county towns occupied by the Yue army, and then approach Taiyuan.
And Zhang Yunfei's troops will attack Xinkou the day after tomorrow, and at that time, Zhang Yunfei and Yan Laoxi will attack the little devil on both sides.
For the sake of insurance, Zhang Yunfei also specially reported the battle plan to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and asked the 129th Division stationed in Taihang Mountain to send troops to assist in attacking Taiyuan together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Yunfei's battle plan was reported, it was approved by the headquarters, and the boss personally sent a telegram to wish Zhang Yunfei a victory.
Shuozhou, temporary headquarters of the 136th Division.
All the officers above the regimental level of the 136th Division sat neatly in the conference room, waiting for Zhang Yunfei's arrival, everyone was very excited now, looking at this posture, there must be a battle to be fought, and it could be a big battle.
The troops have not fought for several months, and all the regiment commanders and brigade commanders are idle and panicked, but they did not expect that after the division commander came back from Taiyuan this time, he planned to fight a big battle, is it to fight Taiyuan? Several brigade commanders thought secretly in their hearts.
Just when everyone was thinking wildly, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by Liu Dazhu, the deputy division commander, walked into the conference room, and when everyone saw the division commander coming in, they all immediately sat up straight and looked at Zhang Yunfei with blazing eyes.
Seeing everyone's performance, Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction, and went straight to the middle position and sat down, Liu Dazhu saw that the division commander was already seated, and hurriedly sat down in an empty seat near Zhang Yunfei.
Zhang Yunfei looked around at everyone and said, "I convened a meeting today, there is an urgent task, and I have decided to attack Taiyuan." ”
Seeing that it was really an attack on Taiyuan, as soon as Zhang Yunfei's words fell, some of the regiment commanders and brigade commanders below began to discuss one after another, and everyone's faces were filled with excited expressions.
After letting everyone talk for a few minutes, Zhang Yunfei raised his hand and signaled to everyone to stop the discussion, and everyone saw Zhang Yunfei's gesture and immediately quieted down.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him quietly, Zhang Yunfei said with a straight face: "The task of attacking Taiyuan this time is arduous, and everyone must fully cooperate and give full play to our army's firepower advantage."
The First Artillery Regiment of the Artillery Brigade was ordered to start building artillery positions and shelling the little devil's Xinkou position for an hour the day after tomorrow, that is, at 8 a.m. on December 6. The 2nd Artillery Regiment was assembled on standby. ”
Wang Daquan, the commander of the artillery brigade who got the combat mission, stood up happily, saluted Zhang Yunfei, and said loudly: "Yes."
Zhang Yunfei motioned for Wang Daquan to sit down, and then continued: "The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Brigades launched an attack on the little devil's position at nine o'clock in the morning. ”
In everyone's envious gaze, Wang Haiyang, Chen Erwa, and Qian Long stood up "brushed", and said loudly with full of energy: "Yes." After speaking, he sat down with a neat "brush".
"The cavalry regiment and the 4th Infantry Brigade are assembled on standby, and the 3rd and 4th battalions of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment move together with the artillery brigade to pay attention to air defense. The rest of the troops are stationed in Datong and are responsible for the defense of Datong to prevent the little devils from attacking Datong from the north. ”
Seeing that Zhang Yunfei had finished arranging the combat mission, all the regiment commanders and brigade commanders stood up together and said loudly in unison: "Please rest assured that the division commander will complete the task." ”
Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction, smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said loudly: "Chu Tianming, come out of the ranks." ”
Chu Tianming, who was sitting below, immediately stood up, his face was full of respect and seriousness, and he saluted everyone with a solemn military salute, and then said loudly: "Chu Tianming reports to the division commander and everyone. ”
"Okay, Tianming, please sit down, you will act with the Fourth Infantry Brigade in this operation, temporarily serve as the deputy commander of the Fourth Infantry Brigade, and when the battle is over, the Sixth Infantry Brigade will be formed, and you will be the commander of the Sixth Brigade."
"Yes", Chu Tianming stood up again and said loudly......
Early in the morning of December 4, tens of thousands of Jin Sui troops, who had been assembled yesterday, left Linfen along the highway and headed north.
After a day's march, on the morning of December 5, more than 1,000 people of the cavalry regiment, the vanguard of the Jin Sui army, arrived at the southern suburbs of Huozhou City.
Garrisoned in Huozhou City is a brigade of little devils, the little devils are still as usual, complete the handover of the sentry at eight o'clock in the morning, the new few little devil sentries looked absentmindedly into the distance, and from time to time they fart and chatted together, there has been no war for nearly a year, and the Jin Sui army in the south is also behaving in a proper manner, and there is no attack in the north.
The little devil in Huozhou also accepted the status quo of An Le, and every day he either bullied the people, or went to find the flower girl, and stood up carelessly and perfunctory.
But today is destined to be the bad luck of the little devils, and by the time a few little devils from the outlying strongholds found the cavalry regiment, the soldiers of the more than 1,000 cavalry regiments were less than three or four hundred meters away from these little devils.
The frightened little devil hurriedly used the phone to report to the command in the city, saying that there were thousands of cavalry of the Jin Sui Army in the southern suburbs, and several little devils who had made the call knew that they could not escape, because the two legs could not outrun the four legs of the war horse.
In desperation, several little devils held 38-type rifles and began to shoot at the surging cavalry, but at a distance of three or four hundred meters, the cavalry arrived in an instant, and before the little devils could shoot a few shots, they were chopped into pulp by the cavalry who rushed up with their sabers.
After the cavalry regiment successively solved several little devil strongholds on the periphery of Huozhou, it was not in a hurry to attack the city, but wandered outside Huozhou City, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up large army.
In Huozhou City, the captain of the little devil infantry brigade who got the phone call from the sentry of the peripheral ghost stronghold was also full of suspicion and asked, how could thousands of cavalry of the Jin Sui Army suddenly appear here?
The captain of the little devil brigade, accompanied by several little devil officers, came to the city wall, stood on the city tower, held a telescope and observed carefully, yes, at least thousands of Jin Sui cavalry wandered a few hundred meters away.
The Jin Sui Army is very different from other troops, the Jin Sui Army is a blue military uniform, the Eighth Route Army is a gray military uniform, [***] is a yellow military uniform, and the troops on the opposite side are true, it is Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army.
The captain of the little devil brigade with a questioning face, holding a telescope and looking at the cavalry on the opposite side who was not in a hurry to attack, did not know what to do for a while, so he had to order the troops to close the city gate and pay attention to defense.
Because the other party is cavalry, if you take the initiative to go out of the city to attack, then you will use your own shortcomings to attack the strengths of others, in the wilderness, the power of cavalry is far greater than that of infantry, and the infantry brigade of the little devil can only defend the city and wait for the cavalry to attack.
