"Battle Plan for Attacking Taiyuan City......"

Commander Nie, who reacted from the shock, swept these words again, and asked Wang Ping directly, "Wang Ping, what do you want to do?" Don't tell me you want to fight Taiyuan City, Taiyuan City is so easy to fight! ”

"With more than 20,000 puppet troops and strong city fortifications, is it possible to defeat them without the loss of tens of thousands of people!"

"However, our Eighth Route Army is at the bottom of this family, do you think we can withstand the loss of tens of thousands of people!"

A series of questions made Wang Ping speechless, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

It wasn't until Commander Nie slowly calmed down that Wang Ping explained: "Chief, I don't really want to take Taiyuan City!" I just want to break through the small north gate of Taiyuan City, and then empty the Japanese army's arsenal at the small north gate of Taiyuan City! ”

"I have been thinking carefully for several days according to the deployment of the Japanese puppet army in Taiyuan City and the surrounding areas, and I feel that as long as we arrange it well, we can break through the small north gate and occupy the Taiyuan Arsenal at a very small price!"

Commander Nie didn't finish speaking, frowning and began to browse the battle plan that Wang Ping handed him.

Wang Ping had a good eye, and immediately spread out the map he brought, and then pointed to the data that had been marked on the map and said his thoughts as simply as possible.

Despite Wang Ping's simple words, it still took nearly an hour.

After it was over, Wang Ping's worst fears happened.

Commander Nie didn't say a word, and walked around the office with a wrinkled. And from time to time I went back to the map and read the battle plan written by Wang Ping again.

Wang Ping knew that when a decision needed to be made, the longer Commander Nie hesitated, the less likely he was to agree in the end.

Just when Wang Ping thought that Commander Nie would most likely not agree to this seemingly very risky battle plan, and his face became more and more embarrassed, Commander Nie finally spoke.

Staring at Wang Ping, he asked rhetorically: "Are you sure, only four infantry regiments are needed to attack Taiyuan City!" ”

"Yes! But the heavy artillery company of the 1st Divisional Independent Brigade must be transferred to me! Wang Ping seemed to see hope, and met Commander Nie's gaze at him.

"What about casualties? How many casualties you can control! ”

"A regiment!" Wang Ping replied hesitantly.

Seeing that Commander Nie hesitated again, Wang Ping immediately added: "Chief, I don't really want to attack Laiyuan City, only one of the four directions is the main attack, as long as we are surprised, we will definitely be able to break through the small north gate of Taiyuan City with minimal casualties and occupy the Taiyuan Arsenal of the Japanese army!" ”

Commander Nie stared at Wang Ping and asked, "But there is another premise for you to achieve this goal, our troops scattered in Shanxi must attract half of the Japanese puppet army in Taiyuan City, and they must be held back for at least one night." ”

"Half of the Japanese puppet army in Taiyuan City is nothing, there are 10,000 people in the sky, and it is a field battle, so our troops in one division can easily do it!"

"However, have you counted how many Japanese puppet troops there are around Taiyuan City? I just calculated, the total number of troops exceeds the number of people needed. ”

"We want to hold them off for the night and prevent them from reinforcing Taiyuan City. Not to mention twice the number of troops, the same number of troops must be indispensable! ”

"Do you know what that means? Not only the siege battle that happened in Taiyuan City was a bloody battle, but the battle that took place in the entire Shanxi was a bloody battle, and without one or two thousand casualties, the task would definitely not be completed! ”

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is now in a period of rapid development, not to mention 20,000 or 30,000 casualties, even if there are 10,000 casualties, the military region will not be able to bear it.

In this case, it is certain that Commander Nie, who is at the helm of the military region, is hesitant.

But Wang Ping still wants to hold on one last time.

"But, chief, if we can take the Taiyuan Arsenal, our harvest will definitely be unprecedented!"

"Not to mention anything else, with the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal and sufficient raw materials, it can produce more than 1,500 rifles and nearly two regiments of equipment in a month."

"Also, with this equipment, the arsenal can directly start producing machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, and even mountain artillery. As for ammunition, everything else can be produced, except for heavy artillery shells! ”

"Although our losses from attacking Taiyuan City will be great, the gains are also very large, which is enough to make up for our losses!"

The hesitation on Commander Nie's face disappeared for a moment, staring at Wang Ping, nervous and anxious to ask: "The equipment of two regiments a month, are you sure!" ”

"Not two regiments, but two reinforced regiments, the company is armed with four machine guns, the battalion is armed with three heavy machine guns, and the regiment is equipped with the main regiment of the mortar company. If possible, mortars will also be assigned to the battalion, and the mortar company directly under the regiment will directly become a mountain artillery company! ”

After the Eighth Route Army established base areas behind enemy lines, especially after winning many battles one after another, the enthusiasm of the common people to join the Eighth Route Army was very high. As long as the Eighth Route Army is willing, it can further expand its troops at any time.

As far as the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is concerned, as long as Commander Nie has a courtyard, the troops may be doubled or even more expanded at any time.

However, due to the lack of weapons and ammunition, the rate of expansion of the troops could only be suppressed repeatedly.

If you get the equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal, you can really produce two regiments of equipment in a month. Even if the military district loses 20,000 people in the entire operation, it will be quickly replenished.

Thinking of this, Commander Nie no longer had any hesitation and made a decisive decision: "I agree with your battle plan. For the equipment of the arsenal, for the equipment of two reinforced regiments a month, I decided to go crazy with you once! ”

"I will be responsible for the battle on the periphery, and I will order the first and second army divisions to form a joint command center, and mobilize the troops of the two army divisions to cooperate with the operation!"

"As for the siege, since you promised me that the casualties would not exceed one regiment, then you will take command."

"The Independent Brigade is your old unit, I will transfer the Independent Brigade to you, you will be the commander-in-chief, and the current brigade commander Cheng Xiao will be the deputy commander."

"Cheng Xiao turned out to be your partner, although now his level is higher than yours, after all, I have cooperated, I believe the two of you should be able to cooperate well."

"However, I have a request, whether or not I can break through the fortifications of Taiyuan City, I must retreat before dawn. The task I gave to the two military divisions was also to delay the Japanese puppet army for one night. As soon as the morning dawns, the battle in the entire Shanxi is over! If you don't withdraw from Taiyuan City quickly, you will likely be surrounded by devils! ”

"No problem! But I hope the chief will draw me fifty fighters from the army who can drive cars! Wang Ping was very excited, he didn't expect Commander Nie to have such great courage, just do what he said. Driven by Commander Nie, he didn't hesitate, and answered directly with confidence!
