The lieutenant general from Chongqing suddenly reminded: "There is a problem! ”

"It's almost dawn, and the Eighth Route Army of the two reinforced regiments is still trapped outside Taiyuan by the Japanese~"

"Taiyuan City is too important to the Japanese, and they will definitely hold it at all costs. Without Taiyuan Airport, they will also send planes from farther airports to reinforce Taiyuan! ”

"Because of the long distance, those planes won't stay on the battlefield for too long, but they can still deal a big blow to your army!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the units of these two reinforced regiments must have been the first targets of the Japanese aviation!"

"After dawn, with the reinforcement of aviation, destroy these two regiments first!"

"I suggest that the headquarters of your Eighth Route Army immediately send a telegram to the siege troops, ordering these two regiments to find a way to break through and retreat, otherwise these two regiments will definitely be finished!"

The commander-in-chief replied with a serious face: "No, we believe in the command ability of the siege command, for the front-line troops, the headquarters is only responsible for determining the combat objectives, and how to command it is the matter of the front-line commander, and we will not interfere!" ”

Chief Yan, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"It's a good thing that it doesn't affect the front-line command operations. But you can't watch the four thousand soldiers of the two reinforced regiments being killed by the devils! I suggest that you send a telegram over the past, and it's a pity that 4,000 soldiers were killed like this~"

Chief Yan's idea is very simple, since it is no longer possible to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking Taiyuan City, it is also good to let the Eighth Route Army suffer greater losses and embarrass the head of the headquarters.

Everyone next to the sand table understood the meaning of Chief Yan's words, and stared at the commander-in-chief to see the joke.

Let's see if the commander-in-chief really does not interfere with the front-line command in accordance with the regulations, and believes the front-line commander. Or pay more attention to the lives of thousands of soldiers, for the sake of thousands of soldiers, even if they violate discipline, they must send a telegram!

They were disappointed, and the confident smile on the commander-in-chief's face, as always, did not change anything.

Pointing to the sand table, he explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what preparations the two reinforced regiments have made when they set off? ”

"I'll tell you, it's the preparation for the annihilation of the whole army!"

"Before they set off, they knew that there was a good chance that they would die on the battlefield!"

"However, they still went, and they had no intention of retreating after they went, unless they took Taiyuan City and entered Taiyuan City!"

"I know some of you are tempted to say that this is simply to send two regiments of soldiers to death. Then I'll tell you now, whether our Eighth Route Army can take Taiyuan City, these two regiments have played a vital role! ”

"Staff Officer Wang, you can inform the generals of how many devils these two reinforced regiments have killed, and then report how many devils are left in Taiyuan City!"

"Yes, Chief!"

"Generals, according to the latest enemy report sent by the former enemy's siege headquarters, although the two regiments suffered heavy losses under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, they also killed more than 2,000 devils!"

"Two regiments are seizing the last hours before dawn to dig anti-aircraft trenches in their entrenched positions to alleviate the casualties that the Japanese air force will definitely inflict on the troops after dawn!"

"According to their estimates, after dawn, the Japanese army will definitely desperately attack them under the cover of aircraft!"

"As long as they hold out until dark, they will definitely be able to annihilate a large number of devils, even if the whole army is wiped out!"

Many generals in the command headquarters were shocked by Staff Officer Wang's words.

Few troops in their armies would do so knowing that they would be killed.

A unit is not afraid of death, which shows how strong the combat effectiveness of this unit is.

The lieutenant general was also shocked, took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Why do you do this?" What is there that is worth the 4,000 soldiers to fight hard, even if the whole army is destroyed! ”

"Counselor Wang, go on!" The commander-in-chief did not explain, and ordered directly.

"Our intelligence officers lurking in Taiyuan City reported that in order to kill our two reinforced regiments, the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan City garrison sent nearly 5,000 people from the city to attack them!"

"At present, the Japanese army in the entire Taiyuan City has almost been withdrawn!"

"There is only one regiment of puppet army and one squadron of devils left on the city wall, and there is only half a gendarmerie brigade, half a guard brigade, and a regiment of the puppet army left in the city, with a total strength of less than two thousand people!"

"The 5,000 elites of the Japanese army drawn from Taiyuan City have lost more than 2,000 people."

"If more than 2,000 people are killed by two more reinforcement groups, Taiyuan City will become an empty city!"

"As long as our troops sweep away the Japanese puppet army outside Taiyuan City, it will be easy to take Taiyuan City!"

The commander-in-chief suddenly interjected and said: "Think about it, if it weren't for the sacrifice of these two reinforced regiments, the five thousand Japanese troops would still be guarding Taiyuan City, with the strong fortifications of Taiyuan City, how long will it take and what price will we have to pay to take Taiyuan City!" ”

"I believe that Chief Yan knows this best, after all, the strong fortifications of Taiyuan City were all built by your Jin Sui army back then, and the Japanese army only strengthened and supplemented a small amount after taking over!"

Chief Yan's dream was shattered again, and he hesitated to answer.

"So that's the case, then the sacrifice of these 4,000 people is too cost-effective!"

"If it weren't for their sacrifices, the 5,000 Japanese army would have stuck to the fortifications of Taiyuan City, and even if your Eighth Route Army lost 10,000 people, it might not be able to break through the defense of Taiyuan City!"

Everyone in the command didn't expect that these 4,000 people would be used so much.

Many generals and colonels gathered around and whispered discussions, deducing, thinking about whether they could do this if the siege force was replaced by their own troops.

To their disappointment, once the siege troops were replaced by their troops, this method of operation could not be implemented.

In order for the two reinforced regiments to consume a large number of Japanese troops under the heavy siege of the enemy, they had to be elite troops, and they had to be well-equipped.

Such a unit is like a treasure in the hands of every commander, and he is deeply afraid of a little accident, how can he let them risk the destruction of the whole army to be used as bait?

Without a unit that is not afraid of death and has strong combat effectiveness as a decoy, the entire battle plan cannot be implemented!

After thinking about it, there is only one way for them to take Taiyuan City, attack!

Taiyuan City Sunset Command, Lieutenant General's face was very solemn.

It took less than two hours from the time the Taiyuan airport was attacked to the time when the airport lost contact.

In such a short period of time, nearly 2,000 imperial troops at Taiyuan Airport were gone.

Although nearly half of the Imperial Army was a technical unit with little combat effectiveness, they were all Japanese anyway, and they were soldiers who had been trained as recruits.

"Sir, it has been found out that the Eighth Route Army attacking us outside the city has more than 20,000 people, and there are nearly 5,000 people in each direction. They are well-armed, combat-ready, and more importantly, very powerful offensive firepower! The chief of staff suddenly burst in and reported with a panicked face.
