Chapter 1374 Strategic Change
Previously, Wang Xuexin believed that the Eighth Route Army was incapable or unable to regain Taiyuan mainly because of two reasons:

One is that Taiyuan cannot be regained due to the influence of terrain.

This is the main reason.

Taiyuan is a strong city, and one division of devils is resident, which has increased to two divisions at this time.

It is almost impossible for the Eighth Route Army to cross the 100-kilometer-wide Luliang Mountains to attack Taiyuan and defeat the devils of the two divisions.

This is the same reason that the devils have never been able to penetrate the Eighth Route Army's defense line on Luliang Mountain... the deeper you go into Luliang Mountain, the more difficult it is to supply, and the difficulty of supply means that you have to fight close or hand-to-hand like primitive people. War of attrition.

But now the situation has changed: the Eighth Route Army has the VS300V helicopter and its monthly output is as high as 30, each of which can lift 2000 kilograms of materials, and if necessary, the cabin can also hold another 500 kilograms of materials.

However, if the material transportation on the battlefield is usually not installed in the cabin, the reason is that loading and unloading in the cabin must land, which will lead to a series of problems: the destination needs to open up an airport, it needs to be unloaded quickly by hand, and it needs to be protected from enemy artillery fire, otherwise it will be just a few shots. When the shells come over, they can blow up the helicopter and its supplies into the sky.

Lifting materials is much more convenient. After arriving at the destination, you only need to put the materials down, and the helicopter can fly away immediately. Obviously, lifting materials is more suitable from the perspective of time, manpower and safety, unless there are wounded people who need to be picked up. had to land.

Wang Xuexin roughly estimated: If there were 6 such helicopters in the last month, they would be transported east across the Taihang Mountains at the Sanjiadian Arsenal, and they could fly back and forth in an hour and carry more than [-] kilograms of supplies. The amount of ammunition is enough for a regiment to fight a battle!

Is it still a matter to fight Taiyuan?

A few trips in advance is enough to fight a battle, not to mention that you don't need to attack Taiyuan but outsmart it!

Another reason for not being able to attack Taiyuan is that the Eighth Route Army's strategic attack direction should be north rather than east, otherwise it will cut off the devil's communication line and make the recalcitrant army take advantage of the fisherman.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy, but now the battlefield environment has changed: because the recalcitrant army deliberately retreated, the devils have opened up the north-south communication line, that is, southern China has been connected to Southeast Asia.

If it was the past, the Eighth Route Army would step on the tail of the devils when they went east, because they would only have one supply channel for sea transportation, so they would definitely drop everything, including the stubborn army, and turn back to deal with the Eighth Route Army to open up the transportation line.

But now, in addition to shipping by sea, the devils can also obtain supplies and resources from Southeast Asia. There is no problem that the transportation channel is blocked because the Eighth Route Army went east, and the recalcitrant army can no longer reap the benefits.

Then what Wang Xuexin thought of was the arsenal and chemical factory that Yan Laoxi left behind in Taiyuan. Damn it was a place where rifles, large-caliber howitzers and various gunpowder could be produced. It is said that the devils also upgraded the arsenal there to become In order to produce anti-aircraft guns, TNT, steel products, and automobiles, many clothing factories, canning factories, and biscuit factories were added outside Taiyuan City to produce military supplies.

In addition, there is an airport, where a large number of fighter jets and transport planes are parked, countless aviation fuel and aviation bullets are stored in the warehouse, as well as various parts and equipment...

Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin couldn't help swallowing, the temptation was too great!
Although the Eighth Route Army was able to produce clothing and biscuits at this time, it was always a drop in the bucket because of the small scale of the industry. For example, compressed biscuits could only be equipped with a few troops fighting on the front line, and only sharpshooters in ordinary troops could get one or two dollars... …sharpshooters sometimes need compressed biscuits for cold shots.

In other words, the current Eighth Route Army has a serious shortage of production capacity in terms of military supplies.

If you can win Taiyuan, you can instantly upgrade to a higher level.

Why are you still hesitating?
let's hit!

However, Wang Xuexin soon realized that if he attacked Taiyuan like this, there would be another problem... What the Eighth Route Army wanted was not only to recover Taiyuan, but also to seize the devil's factories, airports and even military factories.

Wang Xuexin knew how difficult it was to seize these things, especially airports and military factories. They were full of flammable and explosive materials. In principle, the devils only needed to ignite or detonate the factories at the last moment.

If the devils blew up all these things and left the Eighth Route Army with nothing but ruins, then it wouldn't make much sense to take Taiyuan!

How to ensure the smooth transfer of these factories to the Eighth Route Army?
The first thing Wang Xuexin thought of was the intelligence personnel and underground workers of the Eighth Route Army, especially the intelligence personnel in the puppet army. These underground workers played a pivotal role in the previous battles in which the Eighth Route Army was able to completely capture the enemy's factories or warehouses... …Some of them organized workers to respond to the Eighth Route Army from within at critical moments, quickly occupying the target by cooperating with the inside and outside to prevent the devils from blowing up the factory, and some simply organized an uprising of the puppet army to occupy the target first.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters asking: "Chief, is our army's intelligence organization in Taiyuan strong enough?"

When the chief saw the telegram, he couldn't help being taken aback. Didn't this little Northeast say he would not fight Taiyuan before?Why are you asking this now?

But after thinking about it, he understood, he laughed and said to the chief of staff: "The battlefield environment has changed, and it seems that Xiaodongbei's strategic direction has changed accordingly!"

The chief of staff just came back from Sanjiadian. Although the headquarters is not far from Sanjiadian, because there is no airport in the headquarters and the distance is not suitable for flying, he still rode for half a day to arrive.

After reading the telegram, he immediately nodded and said: "I saw the things made by Xiaodongbei in the three stores. I think that thing called a helicopter is very good for attacking Taiyuan. Luliang Mountain, a mountainous area of ​​[-] kilometers, we cross In the past, at least it took more than a month, and the helicopter can go back and forth in an hour!"

Then the chief of staff sighed again: "At that time, I was still thinking that with this thing, our supplies on Luliang Mountain and even Taihang Mountain would not be a problem, so our army's defense would become more and more tight! Unexpectedly..."

As he spoke, the chief of staff shook the telegram in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiaodongbei to make this thing not for defense, but for attacking Taiyuan!"

The chief laughed loudly and said, "The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead! We need to be careful, after all, this guy can even make computers and anti-aircraft missiles!"

The chief of staff nodded with a helpless expression. In fact, he didn't really want to compare with Xiao Dongbei, but was happy and proud that the Eighth Route Army had produced such a good seedling.

The chief didn't hesitate, he ordered the staff to call back: "Taiyuan has enough intelligence personnel, as long as you dare to fight!"
