I am helping

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong first looked thoughtful, and then said: "Probably not."

"The information that we were going to gather a large number of troops to attack Taiyuan was passed on to Neiji Okamura through pangolins."

"The Japanese army did not transfer the 33rd Division and the 37th Division back to Taiyuan to strengthen the defense."

"We are only bombarding the Taigu line of defense. The Japanese army will probably not transfer the 33rd and 37th divisions to Taiyuan."

In this battle, Li Yunlong's real strategic goal was the 33rd and 37th Divisions of the Japanese Army.

After killing the 33rd Division and the 37th Division, the Eighth Route Army could not only control the Zhengtai Railway, but also wipe out part of the main force of the Japanese First Army.

After June, the pressure on the Eighth Route Army to attack Taiyuan will be greatly reduced.

The teacher's strategic vision is higher than that of Li Yunlong, so Li Yunlong is very clear that the teacher must have considered this issue.

However, the division commander still ordered the artillery to fire at the Taigu defense line, which means that the division commander also felt that Yoshio Iwamatsu would not transfer the 33rd Division and the 37th Division back to Taiyuan.

At least for the time being, the 33rd and 37th Divisions will not be transferred back to Taiyuan.

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou also analyzed: "The Zhengtai Railway is the lifeline of the Japanese army. Unless Taiyuan is at the moment of life and death, I don't think the First Army Command will transfer the 33rd Division and the 37th Division to Taiyuan."

The attacking group on the left was only bombarding the Taigu line of defense of the Japanese army.

The Taigu line of defense is still 40 kilometers away from Taiyuan, and Taiyuan is far from the critical moment of life and death.

After a pause, Wang Dehou said again: "Moreover, the commander and the others launched a large-scale artillery attack on the Taigu defense line. I think there is another advantage in that it makes the Japanese army even more confused about our Eighth Route Army's true intentions."

Zhao Gang nodded: "It seems that I am worrying too much."

"This is the brilliance of our teacher."

Li Yunlong glanced at Wang Dehou and nodded.

Li Yunlong was the actual commander-in-chief of this great battle, so he naturally knew the number of shells carried by the left attack group going north.

一共是三个基数，包括60毫米、70毫米、82毫米、75毫米、105毫米等各种口径的炮弹大约19万发。

More than 3000 mule carts were used to transport artillery shells alone. In addition, there were hundreds of cars pulling cannons full of artillery shells, as well as militiamen who specialized in carrying artillery shells.

Without a strong transportation force, so many shells really couldn't be transported to the front line of Taigu.

In modern warfare, what is fought is logistical supplies.

The attacking group from the left fired two and a half base shells towards the Taigu defense line.

That is to say, the number of shells hit on the heads of the Japanese army exceeded 15.

"Chief of Staff, you draft a telegram to apply to Boss Chen for an airdrop of supplies, and to the Taigu defense line for an airdrop of 10 rounds of shells. The caliber of the shells is 60mm, 70mm, 82mm, 75mm, and 105mm."

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and said.

The devil's grenadier, the main force of the 129th Division has long looked down upon, and dogs don't even use it.

However, the devil grenades and grenades captured by the Eighth Route Army were not wasted, and they were all used by the militiamen.

However, the Devil's 70mm Type [-] infantry gun is a good thing, very suitable for the Eighth Route Army.

So at the beginning, Boss Chen directly assisted the headquarters in the production line of the 70mm Type [-] infantry gun and shells.

While writing the telegram, Wang Dehou said with a smile: "After the 10 rounds of shells are air-dropped and supplied to the attacking group on the left, I am afraid that the 14th and 18th brigades defending the Taigu line of defense will be defeated by artillery alone without infantry. group."

The corner of Li Yunlong's mouth curled up slightly, feeling happy.

The business of defeating two Japanese brigades was a fortune.

When formulating the combat plan, the defeat of the 14th and 18th Brigades was not included in the combat plan.

Because there were only a small number of Japanese troops and a large number of puppet troops guarding the Taigu line of defense at that time.

The Japanese army sent the main forces of the 14th and 18th Brigades to the Taigu defense line after receiving that the Eighth Route Army was about to gather heavy troops to attack Taiyuan.

Li Yunlong thought to himself, the commander is worthy of the god of the army, he can always seize the opportunity.

At the beginning of the Battle of Xinkou, the division commander commanded troops twice to ambush the Japanese army at the same location, Qigen Village, and was extremely good at seizing opportunities.

Soldiers do not lie down.

It is the traditional principle of military strategists, but the division commander adapts to the situation and does the opposite. The ingenious overlapping and ambush can be called a classic example in the history of Chinese and foreign wars.

Zhao Gang calculated carefully, the 10 rounds of shells were fired, and it is estimated that the 14th and 18th Brigades would suffer more than half of the casualties.

After all, the 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade are not in peak condition, and there are only ten thousand people in total.

In addition to the thousands of people in a division of the puppet army, each enemy can get about 20 shells on average.

This shelling density is simply astonishing.

If 10 rounds of shells are not enough, then another 10 rounds will be sent. Anyway, Boss Chen is eager to consume more shells and kill more devils.

After Wang Dehou drew up the telegram, he handed it to Li Yunlong for a look, and Li Yunlong signed it and handed it to the telegraph operator.

"Huzi, the map!" Li Yunlong shouted.

Guard Huang Erhu quickly pulled out the map from the bucket and handed it to Li Yunlong.

Don't look at Huang Erhu's innocence, but his skill and marksmanship are very good, only a little worse than Duan Peng and Wei Dayong, and he has been with Li Yunlong for several years.

Usually when Li Yunlong trains with the Sword Squadron, Huang Erhu also trains with him.

All combat skills are similar to those of the members of the Sword Squadron.

"Chief of Staff, where are we now?" Li Yunlong stared at the map and asked.

"Head, we are here now." Wang Dehou pointed to the map and said, "We are only 23 kilometers away from Yangquan."

In this battle, the main combat goal of the new regiment was to complete the encirclement of the 129rd and 33th Divisions of the Japanese Army together with the center and right attack groups of the 37th Division.

Due to the state of wartime, the new regiment was divided into six synthetic battalions.

Each combined battalion had at least two infantry battalions.

Three of the synthetic battalions headed for the 33rd Division in Shouyang under the leadership of deputy head Xing Zhiguo.

Li Yunlong personally led 3 synthetic battalions and came towards Yangquan.

In addition, the 129th Division also divided a brigade, carrying a mountain artillery battalion, to attack Niangziguan Station.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army not only wanted to wipe out the 33rd Division and the 37th Division, but also completely paralyzed the Zhengtai Railway!

At this moment, a telegraph soldier ran over again on horseback.

Since the station needs to stop to receive the telegram, the telegraph machine and telegraph operator are at the back of the line.

However, the regiment headquarters sent guard soldiers to protect the radio and telegraph operators.

"Report to the head of the regiment, the 386th brigade has an urgent call!"

The telegraph operator got off his horse and handed a telegram to Li Yunlong.

Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou leaned over again, and looked at the telegram in Li Yunlong's hand by the light of the flashlight.

"The 386th Brigade and the main force of the Taiyue Military Region have arrived in Pingding County and are attacking Pingding County. I ask where your troops are. Chen Geng, the commander of the 386th Brigade."

While looking at the telegram, Wang Dehou read out the contents of the telegram.

Brigadier Chen is not only the brigade commander of the 386 brigade, but also the commander of the Taiyue Military Region, and the 386 brigade has been reorganized into a mobile corps.

However, it is still called the 386 brigade.

Attacking Pingding County is part of the battle plan.

Pingding County is only a dozen kilometers away from Yangquan, and it forms a corner with Yangquan. If you attack Yangquan from the southeast of Shanxi along the highway, you must first attack Pingding County.

However, there are not many Japanese troops in Pingding County, relying on the troops and artillery firepower in the hands of the brigade commander.

Pingding County can be captured in a few hours at most.

In fact, in the original play, when Li Yunlong led his troops to attack Ping'an County, it took Li Yunlong nearly two days to fight the battle with nearly ten thousand troops.

At that time, Li Yunlong attacked the county town by relying on the soldiers carrying explosives to blow up the city walls, and relying on the soldiers carrying the siege ladders and filling the city gates with their lives.

Finally, relying on a 75mm Italian field gun with few shells, Ping'an County was successfully captured.

At that time, if Li Yunlong had a mountain artillery battalion and a basic number of shells in his hands, he could take down Ping'an County in a few hours at most.

Now that the Eighth Route Army is rich, attacking a county with few Japanese troops would be like playing games.

Nearly 10 counties in southeast Shanxi were recaptured by the Eighth Route Army in this way, but the Japanese First Army had nothing to do.

In other words, it would be difficult to attack counties such as Shouyang, Yangquan, and Taiyuan, which were heavily defended by the Japanese army.

"Haha, melee night combat is our Eighth Route Army's forte." Li Yunlong looked solemn, "At most two or three hours, the brigade commander can take down Pingding County."

"The defense focus of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army must be south of Yangquan City."

"Pass my order, each battalion will increase the marching speed, let's stab the 37th Division in the ass!"

One of Li Yunlong's favorite tactics is to poke his buttocks.

Behind the enemy's unexpected back, suddenly attack, hit the enemy by surprise, and eat the enemy before the enemy can react.

Following Li Yunlong's order.

The marching speed of the battalions and companies of the Xinyi Regiment accelerated a bit.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou again: "Chief of Staff, you should immediately draft a telegram to the brigade headquarters of the 386th brigade, informing them of our location, saying that our department will arrive in Yangquan in three hours, and let them fight according to the plan." act."

Wang Dehou straightened his body and responded, "Yes!"

……

at the same time.

In Yangquan city.

The 37th Division Headquarters.

"The 5th Infantry Battalion stationed in Pingding County requested emergency tactical guidance from the Division Headquarters?"

After listening to the communication staff's report, Anda 37, head of the 23th Division, frowned.

The old devil smelled something unusual.

Tactical guidance can generally be understood as being beaten and asking for immediate reinforcements from the superior, but an emergency is added in front of the tactical guidance.

That means that the 5th Infantry Battalion is at stake and is likely to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

"Hi!" The communication staff officer bowed his head, "Master Hirata, the captain of the 5th Infantry Battalion, said that the Eighth Route Army has mobilized at least 1 elite troops and two artillery regiments to attack Pingding County!"

Anda 23's brain suddenly fell into a state of confusion.

Didn't the headquarters say that the Eighth Route Army going north was just covering and assisting, and that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi was attacking the 1st Division stationed in Datong?
idiot!

Can anyone tell me what's going on here! ?
