At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Taiyuan City, the lieutenant general has been standing by the telephone and waiting for news outside the city.

It had been almost an hour since the order to attack had been issued, and if nothing else, the four infantry brigades should have already engaged the commandos of the Eighth Route Army.

"Sir, it's a fight!" A combat staff officer rushed over like a wind and reported.

"After our troops left the city, they suddenly launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army, which caught them off guard, and the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties!"

"Now they have stopped, trapping the two anti-aircraft artillery towers that have just occupied us!"

"Yo Xi!" The lieutenant general's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

With a long breath he ordered: "Tell our attacking troops and take them as soon as possible!" ”

"Hey! Humble and give orders now! The staff officer rushed out with an excited face.

The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, fighting with the Eighth Route Army for so long, it has always been a divine dragon that does not see the end, and it is rare for so many Eighth Route Army to be surrounded by the imperial army.

Including the commander-in-chief of the lieutenant general, all the officers in the command want to kill them as soon as possible and give this big battle that has already begun a good start!

"Sir, the garrison outside the city reports that the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, has suddenly stepped up its offensive!" A communications staff officer rushed over!

"They dispatched a large number of artillery, and they were very anxious to kill the appearance outside Taiyuan City, especially the Eighth Route Army that launched an attack in the south and north of the city!"

The lieutenant general's face showed a sudden expression of enlightenment!

"They don't want to kill Taiyuan City as soon as possible, but to rescue the 4,000 Eighth Route Army that is being besieged by us!"

"Isn't what they're best at encircling and sending reinforcements? This time, I also sent them a siege to help. ”

"Order the garrison outside the city, resolutely block them, and try to consume their troops!"

"As for our sorties, continue to intensify the offensive!"

The chief of staff on the side asked incomprehensibly: "Sir, if we continue to strengthen the offensive, it is very likely that it will not be long before they will be killed by us. ”

"You've only thought about one aspect!" The lieutenant general shook his head and replied.

"Don't forget, the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army are equipped with a large number of artillery!"

"If we fight with them little by little, the artillery in their hands will definitely cause us a lot of damage!"

"Even if the goal of encircling and sending reinforcements in the end is achieved, we ourselves will suffer heavy casualties, and it is not cost-effective!"

"Only by strengthening the offensive and making their attacking troops feel that the troops they have penetrated outside Taiyuan City may be annihilated by us at any time, they will desperately kill them outside the city!"

"I see!" The chief of staff replied with a look of sudden realization.

"The more urgent and desperate their attacking troops are, the smaller the use of artillery on the battlefield will be, and the greater the casualties they will suffer along the way!"

"The commander is wise, and he personally went to supervise the battle, and strengthened the offensive against the two Eighth Route Armies, so that they could feel the pressure!"

The chief of staff had not yet moved, and the operational staff officers who had left at the beginning rushed over in a hurry.

"Sir, the attack of the attacking force has been thwarted!"

"Although the two interspersed units of the Eighth Route Army did not carry heavy weapons, they brought a large number of mortars and infantry guns that could be disassembled and transported! There are also large-caliber medium mortars in the mortar! ”

"When our troops attacked, they were counterattacked by their artillery, and the troops suffered heavy losses!"

"Nani?" The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Equipped with a large number of infantry guns and medium mortars, the Eighth Route Army will never have such a configuration, I am sure that the two surrounded outside the city must be the elite of the Eighth Route Army!"

"How many people they lost!"

The combat staff officer lowered his head and replied: "The casualties of the two counterattack troops are more than half a brigade!" ”

"Because there was no artillery that could suppress them, the offensive of the two-way counterattack force had to be stopped!"

"Can't stop! Go on the offensive! The lieutenant general commanded decisively.

"The troops are not enough to continue to be drawn from the city, and if there is no artillery superiority, the artillery will be transferred out of the city, they must be killed, so that the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city will feel the pressure, we can eat these two troops at any time!"

"Hey!"

After the operational staff officer hurriedly left the war room, the lieutenant general stared at the chief of staff and asked: "Hasn't the intelligence department figured out the strength and number of the Eighth Route Army attacking us outside?" ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied helplessly: "According to the investigation, the Eighth Route Army within a hundred kilometers around Taiyuan is all in its own station, and there has been no movement!" ”

"So many Eighth Route Army troops fell from the sky!" The lieutenant general asked with a disgruntled look on his face.

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "The lowly post has sent a large number of scouts out of the city to investigate, and there must be news coming soon!" ”

"We have to hurry!" The lieutenant general commanded with a calm face.

"If we don't know their strength and numbers, we won't be able to judge the purpose of their sudden attack on us!"

"If you don't even know the purpose of the Eighth Route Army, then there is no way to fight this battle, let alone report to the Front Army Headquarters!"

"Hey......" the chief of staff quickly replied, and then began to worry.

The lieutenant general hesitated for a moment and comforted: "Don't worry too much! ”

"Whatever the purpose of the Eighth Route Army? If we take out the two interspersed troops outside the city and consume a large number of their attacking troops, there will definitely be only good and no harm. Therefore, the battle outside the city cannot be met by the battalion commander and must be continued! ”

"The progress of the investigation on your side should be accelerated, and you must find out all the information I want to know before dawn!"

At the siege headquarters of the Eighth Route Army outside Taiyuan City, Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao were in a very good mood.

The siege had been going on for several hours, and for now, the situation on the battlefield was almost as they had planned.

"Regiment Commander, Division Commander Cheng, Xiao Yunshan telegraphed, the Japanese army has begun to attack again, and mortars and mountain artillery have been brought from the city!"

"The devil treats Xiao Yunshan as a piece of fat, and he desperately wants to eat it!" Wang Ping replied with a smile.

Cheng Xiao replied: "Not only Xiao Yunshan and my independent regiment, but also several of our offensive troops must have been treated as fat by the little devils!" ”

"Several attacking troops reported that the Japanese puppet army's resistance on the position was very tenacious, with only one purpose, to block us at the same time, and consume us a lot!

"Look at the regiment commander, the order you gave to strengthen the offensive just now must have made the devil mistakenly think that our attacking troops were so desperate to rescue the two interspersed troops!"

"Then the little devil will take advantage of the situation to send us a siege to send reinforcements, and while killing our interspersed troops, a large number of our attacking troops will be consumed, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Then we'll give the little devil another trick!" Wang Ping's face suddenly became serious.
