Everyone was very strange, including Liu Hai, who was very curious, what kind of enmity Wu Fatzi could have with Jin Jun, and the ghost cannon with the best relationship with him had never heard of it, and even Sima Hong was curious to surround him! After asking, I found out that this Wu Fatzi's younger brother turned out to be from the 12th Division of the Northwest Army, and he and Wu Fatzi's fellow villagers worked together in the artillery of the 12th Division! When the Central Plains War was fought, Yan Lao Xi'er, who had made an appointment with Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army to fight Lao Jiang, not only reneged on the contract and did not send troops, but also released a group of troops to attack the Northwest Army from behind, and their division commander Pang Tongxun asked to cross the Yellow River north to jump out of the encirclement, but at the crossing of the Yellow River, the 12th Division was attacked by the Jin army, and as a result, the whole division was disarmed, Wu Fatzi's younger brother was killed in that battle, and the corpses fell into the Yellow River. From then on, when Wu Fatzi thought of Jin Jun, he hated it so much, and he was bent on avenging his younger brother, and he peeled Yan Xishan's skin and cramped!

After listening to Wu Fatzi's words, Liu Hai was also speechless, the original Chinese civil war did not know how many such tragedies were created. "Fat Wu, we are also very sad about your brother's affairs, but this is a tragedy of history, you and I have no choice, forget it!" The ghost cannon patted Fat Wu on the shoulder! "It's a fucking fuck, forget it if you don't have a chance, I have this opportunity today, I can't beat him a few shots, I can't stand my brother!" Wu Fatzi said angrily, "Division commander, our regiment is willing to be the pioneer of the siege, and I promise to be the first to enter Taiyuan City!" "We only provide artillery support, it is Huaye's troops who are attacking the city, you don't want to take credit, just fight the artillery well!" Bangs said. "Good! Our regiment applied to be the first to go into battle! "Fat Wu shouted loudly!" Damn, Fat Wu, this Qiu Laozi will report with you, teacher, when will you leave? The ghost cannon roared too!

"Your morale is high!" Chief No. 1 said with interest. "Thank you, Chief, for coming to see you off!" Bangs said. "I'm not here to see you off, I'm here to tell you that the significance of this battle is extraordinary, Taiyuan is the head of the Three Jin Dynasty, Yan Xishan's old nest, transfer you to the past is the general of the central point, and you look good not only my Lin Biao's face, but also the face of our one million People's Liberation Army in the northeast, fight well, play brilliant!" Chief No. 1 said to Bangs. "Please rest assured, my artillery division will never let the chief down!" Liu Hai saluted and said, "Chief, Liu Xiaoshan's troops have been greatly reduced, so stay and make up for it, this kid will make trouble whenever he is free, in order not to let the chief worry, I suggest that you replenish him with new recruits, and then let him train, so that he has something to do!" "Humph! As far as you kid protects the calf, you don't need to teach you how to arrange it, I know! Number One said.

Liu Hai and others boarded the train, and on the rumbling train, Liu Hai's artillery entered Shanhaiguan along the railroad tracks, and entered Shanxi after a long drive. After arriving in Datong, the troops changed trains and continued to go south, because Shanxi's railway was a narrow gauge, and they had to use Shanxi's trains. When they arrived at the outskirts of Taiyuan, Liu Hai's troops began to get out of the car, and then dragged by car and rushed to the war zone! Along the way, Liu Hai saw a lot of soldiers, and more ordinary people were pushing wheelbarrows, carrying people on their shoulders to transport various supplies to the front. When he arrived at the place, after Liu Hai settled his troops, he rushed to the headquarters of the two commanders-in-chief of the Taiyuan Campaign, Commander-in-Chief Xu and Commander-in-Chief Peng! At the same time, there were many commanders at the level of column commanders, but Liu Hai didn't know them, and they were all Huaye's unit commanders! Bangs sat in the back as always, and next to bangs sat a commander! "Hey brother, which unit?" The officer, who didn't look tall, asked, "My name is Liu Tiezhu, the head of the Huaye Sixth Column Engineer Corps!" You look like you're about my age, aren't you? "Hello, I'm on transfer, from the Northeast Field Army... An officer next to him reminded, "Don't talk, the commander-in-chief is here!" ”。 Liu Hai and the regiment leader immediately didn't dare to speak!

"Comrades, this time we have gathered a lot of troops, with only one purpose, that is, to break Yan Xishan's last nest in Shanxi, I can tell you that this is a tough battle, Yan Xishan's Jin army is not a fish belly, they are very capable of fighting, so this time we have to fight better than them, and the specific combat mission will be distributed to each of you below! Now I want to tell you that this is an unprecedented battle, and I think what everyone is most concerned about is the issue of firepower, because our firepower and equipment have always been inferior to Chiang's army, but for the sake of this battle, the central government has specially invited us to transfer two artillery divisions, with the addition of these two artillery divisions, the firepower will not be a problem, not only will it not be weak, but it will be stronger than them! Tough battle, this is a contest of wills, it depends on who can hold out to the last bullet or even a bayonet, understand? When Commander-in-Chief Xu said this, the officers below shouted loudly, "The battle will be won, and the attack will be defeated!" "Very good, we need this kind of spirit, no matter what, to play the momentum!" Commander-in-Chief Peng said, "Tell you, I can't control other troops, if anyone in my army dares to coax him, Lao Tzu personally killed him, do you understand?" "Understood!" A group of officers shouted below! "Our commander-in-chief Peng has always been the same, but you have to fight hard, otherwise you will really be shot!" The commander of the engineer regiment next to the bangs said. "I can see that this Commander-in-Chief Peng doesn't look like it's easy to mess with!" Bangs think so too!

"Okay, now let me give you a general introduction to the city defense of Taiyuan City: it is located in the north of the Jinzhong Basin, leaning on the Hanshan Mountain in the east, bordering the Fen River in the west, the terrain in the north and south is undulating, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a strategic place in North China. After a long period of operation, Yan Xishan Group has built a wide variety of peripheral strongholds, in-depth positions and urban defense fortifications, so that Taiyuan has formed a multi-level and large-depth circular defense system that combines various fortresses, trenches and underpasses, and relies on each other. In the defense line from Huangzhai and Zhoujiashan in the north, Wusu and Xiaodian Town in the south, Shiqianfeng in the west, and Hanshan in the east, there are more than 5,000 large pillboxes in the main defense area alone. In the east of the city, the cow camel village, the small kiln head, the Naoma, the mountain, the northeast of the city Wohu Mountain, the southeast of the city and other key points, there are permanent fortifications with the bunker group as the backbone, become the main barrier of Taiyuan. Zhao Zhangcheng is the division commander! Commander-in-Chief Xu shouted. Arrive! "A tall officer stood up, with dark skin and a strong physique, he looked like a peasant, but it was this inconspicuous-looking peasant who was the first gunner in the Eighth Route Army!" Your task is to use artillery to destroy the Taiyuan city defense fortifications north of Taiyuan as the longitudinal axis, and cooperate with the troops to attack the Taiyuan city defense. How to do it, you should know! Commander-in-Chief Xu said. Understand, never let the chief down! Zhao Zhangcheng is reporting.

"Master Liu! Which one is Master Liu, please don't stand up, wait for a while after the meeting is over, you stay, you have another task! "Commander-in-Chief Xu hasn't seen Liu Hai yet, and the reason why he didn't call him up is because the No. 1 head of the Northeast Bureau and the Central Committee sent a telegram asking him to keep it secret! Next, the two commanders-in-chief explained some other things, in short, they wanted to use a steady and gradual approach to lay down Taiyuan City! When the meeting was over, the two commanders-in-chief left bangs. "You are the artillery god of the Kuomintang back then, and the baby of the No. 1 leader of the Northeast Field Army now?" Commander-in-Chief Peng asked. "Report Chief! The artillery god is screamed indiscriminately, not to mention any treasure, I am now just a division commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army! Bangs said. Humble and polite, he is not arrogant or impatient when he gets this honor at a young age, which is amazing! Commander-in-Chief Xu glanced at Liu Hai with great appreciation. Well, whether it's screaming or not, see Zhenzhang under your hands, this time we have concentrated so many troops to attack Taiyuan City, except for Zhao Zhangcheng's artillery, you are left! Your mission is twofold, the first is to assist the troops to capture the two airfields in Taiyuan City and prevent the Kuomintang from sending reinforcements over, and the second is to destroy the fortified pillbox group south of the Taiyuan axis! What do you think? Commander-in-Chief Peng asked.

"Capturing the airfield and destroying the fortifications south of Taiyuan, these two tasks can be carried out at the same time, I have two artillery regiments, a * artillery regiment and a heavy artillery regiment, my idea is to attack the opponent's airfield with the * artillery regiment, and use the heavy artillery regiment to attack the fortification pillbox group!" Bangs said. "An artillery regiment?" The two commanders-in-chief looked at Liu Hai in surprise, "Those two airports are well-guarded, with bunkers and strong fortifications, I'm afraid one artillery regiment is not enough, right?" Commander-in-Chief Xu asked. Please rest assured, the attack on the airfield is related to whether the opponent's reinforcements can be cut off, and it is related to the success or failure of the attack on Taiyuan City, I will personally command, as for those pillboxes and fortifications, I think they will neither move nor fly, I can do all of them, but the other party's possible counterattack is still somewhat threatening! Bangs said confidently. I can guarantee that you don't have to worry about this, because it is the 16th Division of the People's Liberation Army that fights with you, and the division commander is the unit of Wang Jinshan, who is known as Zhao Zilong on the battlefield, Wang Jinshan is a fierce general, and his troops will naturally not be bad, as long as your artillery is in place, the rest will not be a problem! Commander-in-Chief Xu said. Although I haven't met Master Wang, I can trust the chief's assurance! I think the two commanders-in-chief promised that they would not be able to capture the airport within two days, and I would like to raise my head to see him! Liu Hai said solemnly. Just do your best, I can't afford to offend Commander Lin of your Northeast Bureau, I want your head, he has to find me desperately, hahaha! Commander-in-Chief Xu said. Be! Rest assured, Chief, the mission is guaranteed! ”
