Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and replied: "Lao Cheng, to tell you the truth, I was the first to put forward the idea of fighting Taiyuan!" ”

"I didn't expect the boss to be interested at that time, and reported to Yan'an after researching, and finally Yan'an agreed, and you were also involved in Lao Cheng!"

Cheng Xiao replied with a sudden realization: "I'll just say who is so bold that he even dares to fight the idea of Taiyuan City, it turns out that it's really you!" ”

"If it's you, I'm not worried!"

"If you are not seventy or eighty percent sure, you will never put forward the idea of fighting Taiyuan!"

"Old regiment leader, how to fight, you give the order!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "No hurry...... You tell me about the current situation of the independent division first, the more detailed the better! ”

Cheng Xiao did not hesitate, and blurted out directly: "The independent division now has two main brigades and an independent regiment, plus the artillery battalion, guard battalion, and directly subordinate team of the division headquarters, with a total strength of nearly 13,000 people!" ”

"The independent regiment has the strongest combat effectiveness, it is a reinforced regiment, with a total strength of 2,000 people, basically composed of veterans who have been wounded on the battlefield, accounting for fifty percent, and it is the fist unit of the independent division!"

"The two main brigades have three infantry regiments, a mountain artillery company, a medium mortar company, and a guard company...... The total strength of 4,500 men! ”

"The infantry regiment has three main battalions, a mortar company, an infantry artillery platoon, and a guard company, with a total strength of about 1,300 people!"

"The infantry platoon is equipped with a light machine gun, the infantry company is equipped with two small cannons, that is, the grenadiers equipped by the devils, and the infantry battalion is reinforced with three heavy machine guns......"

"The brigade's mountain artillery company is equipped with six mountain guns, and the medium mortar company is equipped with nine mortars, all of which were made by our arsenal itself!"

"The divisional artillery battalion is equipped with 12 field guns and the 6 large-caliber mountain guns that you snatched from the devils, the old regiment commander in person!"

There is still a difference between the situation of the independent division reported by the headquarters and the situation told by the division commander Cheng Xiao, and it is obviously more true.

As soon as Cheng Xiao finished speaking, Wang Ping smiled.

According to the current strength of the independent division, plus the brigade directly under the military region and the new regiment, Wang Ping has more confidence in taking Taiyuan City.

"Lao Cheng, the idea of the headquarters is that Taiyuan must be caught off guard and catch the Japanese army in Taiyuan City by surprise!"

"In order to achieve this goal, the headquarters will launch two local counteroffens in other base areas to attract the attention of the Japanese army in North China! Then we took the opportunity to launch an attack and take Taiyuan City in the shortest possible time! ”

"Taiyuan City is large, and the city fortifications are very strong and numerous."

"By storming and occupying them one by one, it will take several days just to take the fortifications outside Taiyuan City. And the devils still have planes, and our casualties will definitely be very large! ”

"So I decided to take a few steps together and try to minimize the casualties and time of attacking Taiyuan!"

"Knowing myself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, my first step is to figure out Taiyuan City. There is too little information reported to us by the headquarters, so I decided to let the special operations team you brought, the team directly under the new regiment, and the special operations squadron brought by the head of the headquarters enter Taiyuan City in batches, reconnoiter the situation, and then lurk in Taiyuan City! ”

"The total strength of the three armies adds up to more than five hundred, and they are all elite, I will give them a month to figure out all the city defense fortifications and troop deployment of the Taiyuan Japanese puppet army!"

No one could have imagined that the Eighth Route Army would attack Taiyuan City.

Although this is the location of the Japanese military headquarters in Shanxi, the security of the entire Taiyuan City is not as strict as imagined.

Of course, this is also thanks to the large number of Japanese in Taiyuan City.

Although they are all businessmen who have come to China to do business, they actually all have a certain military background.

Doing business on the surface, secretly looting the wealth of the Chinese through various means, and then sending this wealth back to the country, making more guns and ammunition in turn to continue the invasion of China.

The last thing these Japanese businessmen and chaebols want is that Taiyuan is heavily guarded because of the war on the front line!

In this way, they lose a lot of opportunities to earn money every day.

In order not to offend these businessmen who have a deep background in the country, unless there is an extremely urgent situation. Otherwise, the gates of Taiyuan City are always open, and there is a steady stream of caravans and convoys entering and leaving Taiyuan City every day......

More than 500 special combat personnel easily infiltrated Taiyuan City.

"Captain, those fortifications outside Taiyuan City are all heavily guarded, and we can't get close at all, so we can only use binoculars to observe from a distance!" A squadron leader looked at Li Wen and reported embarrassedly.

"This will definitely not work!" Li Wen retorted with a frown.

"What the regiment commander wants is not only the location of those firing points and pillboxes, but also the specific strength and firepower of those firing points, and whether there are hidden firing points!"

"These things can't be seen from a distance!"

Another squadron leader frowned and replied, "It's too hard!" ”

"Unless you go directly into the firing point and the pillbox, you can't make it so clear!"

A flash of disappointment flashed on the faces of several people, although they were all carefully selected elites of the Eighth Route Army, they could complete many tasks that other Eighth Route Army could not complete. But they are not gods, and they will never be able to enter the heavily guarded pillboxes and firepower points under the noses of the Japanese puppet army.

At this moment, Li Wen spoke!

"There's another way!"

"The Japanese puppet army headquarters must have a layout map of Taiyuan city defense!"

"The commander of the Japanese puppet army must have known how many troops and firing points were in each telegram. Otherwise, after the outbreak of battle, they will not be able to command the battle at all! ”

A squadron leader's eyes lit up and he replied, "Yes...... We can steal the city defense map! ”

Another squadron leader directly poured a scoop of cold water and said: "The security of the Japanese puppet army headquarters is more stringent than those pillboxes, how to get in!" ”

"The Japanese puppet army is not a fool, the city defense map has been lost, and the deployment will definitely be adjusted. When the time comes, the map we've worked so hard to steal will be a piece of waste paper! ”

"If only there was a way to quietly enter the Japanese puppet army headquarters and copy out a copy of the city defense map!" The last squadron leader suggested.

"Impossible!" The two squadron leaders denied in unison.

Li Wen suddenly said: "It's not impossible? ”

"The Japanese headquarters were heavily guarded, and we couldn't get in. But the headquarters of the puppet army, we must have a way to get in! ”

"Isn't there a brigade of puppet troops in the city, let's go to their brigade headquarters, their brigade headquarters must have a city defense map!"

"However, such an important document as the city defense map is definitely not accessible to ordinary people, even if you enter their brigade headquarters, you will be blind if you can't find the right person!"

"In this case, let's go directly to their brigade commander!"

"I'll give you two days to find out the situation of the commander of the puppet military garrison brigade in Taiyuan City, the more detailed the better!"
