The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Throughout the day, the Japanese and puppet troops and the Eighth Route Army operating in Taiyuan were in a state of restraint, and no one took the initiative to provoke a war.

It was eight o'clock in the evening.

The telegraph operator walked towards Huang Yu and Li Yunlong with a smile on his face: "Leader...Leader Li..."

"A call from the headquarters..."

"The Japanese and puppet troops operating in Northwest Shanxi show no signs of mobilization."

"Your method is useful..." Li Yunlong looked at Huang Yu with obvious admiration.

Huang Yu expressed his analysis seriously: "Ningji Gangmura and Yoshio Iwamatsu are planning to sweep Northwest Shanxi, although they have reached a stalemate."

"But the Japanese have a steady stream of logistical supplies, we don't have..."

"The longer the sweep is dragged on, the more unfavorable it is to us, and the higher the chances of the Japanese winning."

"Ningji Gangmura just suffered a defeat in our hands, and needs a big victory to restore his reputation."

"Yoshio Iwamatsu also needs a big victory to secure his position as commander of the Shanxi garrison."

"As long as there is a [-] to [-] percent chance of winning, they will continue to fight and will not rush to end this sweep."

"Allowing Jinzhong's retreating troops to safely withdraw to Taiyuan not only increases the Taiyuan garrison, but also makes Iwamatsu Yoshio mistakenly believe that our troops are limited, we have no strength to fight in multiple places, and we cannot take down the Jinzhong defenders, and then despise us."

"I believe that I can rely on the Taiyuan garrison to block our attack and protect Taiyuan's safety."

"Now the news from Taiyuan City is missing."

"If the Taiyuan garrison has stepped up its guard and is ready for battle, it will further prove that Yoshio Iwamatsu has no plans to transfer troops from Northwest Shanxi."

"We also have more time to act with the little devil and buy time for the troops to transfer the plane."

"Captain..."

Duan Peng, the commander of the assault company, suddenly rushed towards the two of them, panting and reporting: "The investigation shows..."

"Taiyuan has been under martial law throughout the city."

"There are at least five times more Japanese and puppet troops at the top of the city than usual, and the city defense forces are constantly firing flares into the air to prevent us from sneaking into the city wall..."

"Team leader..." The radio operator who had just left returned to Huang Yu's side again.

"The intelligence personnel in the city have just sent a telegram."

"The Taiyuan garrison formed a mixed brigade through the signs of overseas Chinese, and also assembled the police, secret agents, and private armed forces in the city to distribute weapons and cooperate with the Japanese to defend the outer city of Taiyuan."

"There is a complete curfew in the city, except for the troops, no one is allowed to move..."

"It's done..." Li Yunlong's face suddenly blossomed with joy.

"Yoshio Iwamatsu really wants to rely on his own strength to defend Taiyuan, and there is no point in mobilizing troops from Northwest Shanxi."

"They don't move and we don't move..."

"Four or five days later, a sudden attack on Taiyuan will definitely catch Yoshio Iwamatsu by surprise."

Huang Yu made another objection: "No..."

"Acting requires a full set."

"Our ultimate task is to force the little devils in Northwest Shanxi to return to Taiyuan and rescue the base areas in Northwest Shanxi..."

"If we take down Taiyuan Airport and stand still, no matter how stupid Yoshio Iwamatsu is, he will know that there is a conspiracy."

"Since Yoshio Iwamatsu believes that he can hold Taiyuan, then we must cooperate with him to keep playing this scene, and make him believe through actual combat that he can really hold Taiyuan and not threaten the safety of Taiyuan."

"In this way, Yoshio Iwamatsu will completely cut off the idea of ​​​​returning troops from Northwest Shanxi to aid, and we will have more time to transfer the plane."

"Our Eighth Route Army has never established an air force. The pilots we can find are very limited, and they are scattered in different places. There are Japanese and puppet army blockades everywhere along the way. It may not be possible to reach Taiyuan in four or five days."

"We have to allow longer periods of time for emergencies."

Li Yunlong patted his chest and promised: "I am good at acting..."

"Leave the battle to me tonight..."

"Give me ten tanks and armored vehicles, give me another battalion of mountain artillery, send out an infantry battalion, just a mixed regiment..."

"It doesn't exceed Yoshio Iwamatsu's estimate of our strength, and it can also achieve the purpose of deterring the Taiyuan garrison. Taking the opportunity to kill one or two squadrons of them is just right..."

…………

At the Shanxi Garrison Command of the Japanese Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu was also discussing the battle situation in Taiyuan with his subordinates.

In his own words: As long as there is no accident tonight, the garrison inside the city successfully withstands the Eighth Route Army's attack and inflicts severe damage on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army outside the city will not be able to threaten the safety of Taiyuan at all.

"Boom boom boom..."

Several explosions suddenly sounded from the top of the city, and the explosions were still violent when they reached Yoshio Iwamatsu's ears.

It can be seen that what exploded just now was not an ordinary mortar shell, at least it was a mountain artillery shell.

The chief of staff stood up from the chair, raised his eyebrows and said to Yoshio Iwamatsu: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!"

Yoshio Yanmatsu's face suddenly became very serious. He watched the sound of the guns and ordered: "Let the city defense troops find out the strength and firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army's siege troops as soon as possible."

"Be sure to hold the top of the city and repel all their attacks..."

"If there is a situation, report it to the headquarters immediately."

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the deputy commander-in-chief are also paying attention to this battle related to whether the first air force unit of the Eighth Route Army can be established.

"Chief... the attack on Taiyuan has begun..." the chief of staff hurriedly walked to the deputy commander-in-chief to report.

"Xiao Huang and Li Yunlong assembled an infantry battalion, an artillery battalion, ten tanks and armored vehicles to attack Taiyuan."

"Li Yunlong leads the team himself!"

"It should be able to put a lot of pressure on the Taiyuan City Defense Force, but it will not threaten the safety of Taiyuan City."

"I think it's just right for them to deploy such a small force."

The deputy commander nodded: "Xiao Huang and the others are very considerate."

"The anti-sweeping campaign in northwest Shanxi has reached a stalemate. The longer the battle drags on, the better for the devils."

"Xiao Huang and the others obviously discovered this."

"Use this to delay time and transfer the plane."

"But in order not to arouse Yoshio Iwamatsu's suspicion and feel that they have other plans, they had to send troops to attack Taiyuan."

"Let him mistakenly believe that the real purpose of the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong is to force them to transfer troops from Northwest Shanxi to help them back, and then hide the purpose of transferring planes..."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "Is there any latest news about the pilot..."

"How many pilots have been found in each base area, and it will take a few days to arrive at Taiyuan Airport..."

"How long will it take to repair the landing airport in the Yizhong base, and how long will it take to repair the hangar hidden in the mountain?"

"We were able to conceal the news before the plane was transferred. The Japanese army would definitely notice such a big movement during the transfer process, which spanned hundreds of kilometers."

"They certainly wouldn't allow us to have our own air force."

"If the location of the airport is exposed, it will definitely attract crazy bombing by the Japanese army."

"If there weren't some hangars hidden in the mountains, those planes would definitely not be kept."
