Chapter 772 Latest Information!
Kong Jie looked pensive when he heard the words, whether to do it or not to do it, that is the question.

He quickly calculated the capital in his hand.

In addition to infantry, Kong Jie currently has a battalion of 1mm howitzers and a battalion of 150mm howitzers.

4 mountain artillery battalions, 1 Katyusha rocket artillery battalion, and 1 tank battalion.

Although they are all battalion-level, they are all regiment-level, which is equivalent to 6 artillery regiments, 1 Katyusha rocket artillery regiment, and 1 tank regiment.

Firepower is satisfactory.

In addition, the infantry of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are also equipped with a large number of bazookas, 60mm and 82mm mortars.

The firepower of individual infantry weapons is also stronger than that of devils.

In terms of logistics supplies, there is an automobile battalion of the New First Regiment, which pulls supplies from the warehouse of the New First Regiment in Northwest Shanxi at any time to the Independent Regiment and the Second Second Regiment.

In addition, there is Boss Chen's transportation force, ready to provide logistical supplies at any time.

Weapons damaged in battle and ammunition consumed can be reimbursed.

The premise is to win the battle.

The Japanese army stationed in Mongolia has 2 second-line divisions, an infantry brigade, and a tank division.

Including more than 400 tanks, and almost 3 artillery wings.

Add the 1th heavy artillery regiment of the 6st division, that is 4 artillery regiments.

Although the 1st Division has been suppressed in Datong City, this battle is not as easy as expected...

The strength of both sides is almost on the bright side, and the Japanese army is not a fool, they can only rely on hard power.

Seeing that Kong Jiemu was thinking, Ding Wei didn't urge him.

If he, Ding Wei, was the commander-in-chief of the 1st Division stationed in Datong, Ding Wei would definitely do it.

I didn't say anything, let's beat up the Mongolian army stationed in his dog's day first.

However, compared to Ding Wei, Kong Jie seemed more cautious. Without a greater certainty, Kong Jie would not do it.

After a while, Ding Wei asked in a deep voice: "Old Kong, what should I say, do you want to do it or not?"

Kong Jie's tone was worried: "Old Ding, if this battle is not fought well, I'm afraid it will be a loss-making business. What we have to face is the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, plus the main force of the Japanese Army Group Army!"

Ding Wei nodded, he knew that Kong Jie must have counted the cost just now.

The strength of the two sides is equal, and the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is slightly stronger.

If there was a real fight, the Eighth Route Army might not be able to take much advantage.

Although the 1st Division was suppressed and could not move in Datong City.

But if they really fight with the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, they will definitely have to spend part of their troops and firepower to guard the 1st Division in Datong City.

Because at that time, the 1st Division would definitely organize a counterattack with two troops stationed in Mongolia to attack the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Suddenly, Ding Wei said with a change of expression.

"Old Kong, I remember that in the base area, Lao Li also has a battalion of 203mm heavy howitzers and a battalion of 105mm howitzers, right?"

"If Lao Li is persuaded to bring these two artillery battalions to Datong, we have a great chance of winning!"

Kong Jie nodded: "Yes, Lao Li also has a battalion of 203mm heavy howitzers and a battalion of 1mm howitzers, which are used to prevent the Jinsui Army from attacking the base area."

Li Yunlong has never let down his vigilance against the national army.

From Hubei, Henan and Anhui to northern Shaanxi, Li Yunlong fought against the national army for 10 years, and he knew what kind of virtue these guys were.

and so.

Li Yunlong left a guard battalion in the base area, as well as an infantry battalion and two artillery battalions in the division to prevent the Jinsui Army from raiding the base area.

The current Xinyi Regiment base area is extremely rich, with hundreds of large warehouses filled with food, weapons and ammunition, as well as steel factories, airports, cement factories, and an arsenal under construction.

"Just Yan Laoxi?"

Ding Wei's tone was disdainful:

"With his two guts, he wouldn't dare to attack Lao Li's base."

"Believe it or not, if Yan Laoxi dared to attack Lao Li's base, Lao Li would dare to lead his troops to destroy the entire Jinsui army?"

"That's true." Kong Jie nodded. With Li Yunlong's temper, he would definitely be able to do such a thing.

And the headquarters will definitely support Li Yunlong in doing so.

As for undermining the united front of the national resistance war.

If Li Yunlong led the Eighth Route Army to kill the Japanese First Army and even the entire Japanese North China Front Army, who would dare to say that Li Yunlong sabotaged the War of Resistance?

"Chief of Staff, immediately draft a telegram to the former enemy general headquarters, saying that Lao Ding and I have discussed and want to fight the main force of the Mongolian Army in Datong."

"If Commander-in-Chief Li Yunlong agrees, please order to transfer the 203mm howitzer battalion and 105mm howitzer battalion in the base area of ​​the new regiment to Northwest Shanxi, and put them under my command."

"Yes!"

The chief of staff of the independent regiment immediately drew up an application telegram.

Kong Jie read the telegram, signed his name, and immediately ordered the telegraph soldier to send out the telegram in his hand.

……

at the same time.

Difficult slope.

Second War Zone Commander's Department.

In the combat hall, Yan Xishan, the commander of the second theater, Yang Xingru, the deputy commander, the chief of staff, and a group of combat staff surrounded the combat table.

Everyone was wearing the military uniform of an officer of the Jinsui Army and white gloves, looking very formal.

In addition, Chu Yunfei, the head of the 358 regiment, was also on the list.

At this time, Chu Yunfei was pointing to a huge map on the table with a long wooden pole, analyzing the current situation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army.

"Sirs, please take a look. This is the situation map of the decisive battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in Taiyuan."

"Not surprisingly, the Eighth Route Army will dispatch troops from the northwest and southeast of Shanxi to attack Taiyuan from both sides."

This time, Chu Yunfei came to the Minister's Department to apply for equipment for a reinforced battalion and a transport team.

The equipment of a reinforced battalion and a transport team are nothing to Yan Xishan.

However, Chu Yunfei was arrested by Yan Xishan, and was called to the war hall to attend an analysis meeting with the staff.

"Commander Chu, we all know this." A chubby combat staff officer said, "Just tell me, who will win and who will lose this battle?"

Even Yan Xishan and Yang Xingru looked at Chu Yunfei with anticipation in their eyes.

Chu Yunfei is a student of Generalissimo Jiang, a general who graduated from Whampoa's fifth class, and his military ability is a few blocks away from these combat staff officers.

At the beginning of the Battle of Xinkou, the 358th Regiment suffered heavy losses, so Chu Yunfei insisted on expanding the 358th Regiment to 5000 people.

That is to say, Chu Yunfei's qualifications in the Jinsui Army are still relatively low, otherwise Yan Xishan would have promoted Chu Yunfei to brigade commander.

Of course, Yan Xishan is also very clear that Chu Yunfei is very good, but compared with Li Yunlong, he is far behind.

"It's hard to say." Chu Yunfei glanced sideways at the combat staff officer and said, "If the Eighth Route Army can capture Taiyuan within half a month, then the Eighth Route Army must win."

Another combat staff officer asked: "What if the Eighth Route Army can't capture Taiyuan in half a month?"

Chu Yunfei pointed at the map with a long wooden pole, and drew a circle at the location of Taiyuan: "Then the main reinforcements of the Japanese North China Front Army will rush to Taiyuan, forming a huge encirclement circle around the periphery, forming a flowering situation in the center, lightly It will severely damage the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and at worst, eat up the entire Eighth Route Army attacking Taiyuan."

"However, I think the Eighth Route Army will capture Taiyuan City within half a month."

"Because the Eighth Route Army never fights unprepared battles, since the Eighth Route Army dares to attack, it has certain certainty."

Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei glanced at everyone.

Chu Yunfei had a panoramic view of the change in Yan Xishan's complexion.

Taiyuan was Yan Xishan's territory, and no one except the Jinsui army could get involved.

After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued: "However, even if the Eighth Route Army captures Taiyuan, it will be besieged by the main reinforcements of the Japanese army. If the Eighth Route Army can persist in Taiyuan for half a month under the siege of the Japanese army, it will be considered a real victory." Occupy Taiyuan."

After Chu Yunfei's analysis, everyone had a clearer understanding of the current situation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army.

As for why the Japanese army only attacked for half a month, no one asked stupidly.

Because half a month after the attack, the Japanese army had no combat supplies, and the logistics supply line was cut off by the Eighth Route Army on the periphery, so they would naturally retreat.

No matter what the situation is, the two forces, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army, will suffer heavy losses.

Yan Xishan nodded with satisfaction, and asked tentatively: "Yunfei, if our Jinsui Army attacks the base of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi at this time, what chance will we have of winning?"

After saying this, before Chu Yunfei could speak, Yan Xishan added: "This is the secret order of Chairman Jiang of Chongqing. He ordered our Jinsui Army to take advantage of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi to attack Taiyuan. Attack the Eighth Route Army's northwestern Shanxi base and destroy their factories, schools and other facilities."

When Chu Yunfei heard this, the expression on his face didn't change at all, but his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.

I became more and more disappointed with Chairman Jiang and Yan Xishan in my heart.

Regarding the Eighth Route Army, Chu Yunfei also held the attitude that it should be wiped out. In the end, there can only be one ruling party in China.

But obviously now is not the time to do it.

Although Generalissimo Jiang's policy is to fight against the outside world first, Chu Yunfei's idea is the same as the policy of the Eighth Route Army, to unite all forces that can resist Japan.

The affairs of my own family will be settled behind closed doors after the Japanese army is driven out of China first.

The Eighth Route Army was in full swing in Taiyuan.

However, Chairman Jiang and Yan Xishan wanted to stab the Eighth Route Army in the back.

Chu Yunfei really couldn't stand this kind of behavior.

What's more, who is Li Yunlong? He has 100 minds.

Would it have been unexpected that the Jinsui Army might attack Northwest Shanxi?
Chu Yunfei then said: "Li Yunlong has always been a cunning person, and it is very likely that he has already made preparations in Northwest Shanxi. Our Jinsui army is attacking Northwest Shanxi at this time. Forgive me, the chances of winning are not great, and there is a very high possibility of being attacked afterwards. Li Yunlong's crazy revenge..."

A group of senior officials of the Jinsui Army, including Yan Xishan and Yang Xingru, suddenly fell silent.

At this time, the main force of the Jinsui Army is attacking Northwest Shanxi, and the Jinsui Army must have a chance of winning.

Xinyituan's base area is extremely rich, full of weapons, ammunition and food.

But Yan Xishan is afraid that he will be killed and take the flower of his life.

Li Yunlong is not easy to mess with.

At this moment, the communications staff member held the telegram in his hand and walked quickly into the war room with a shocked expression.

"Report to Commander, the latest information from the Taiyuan Intelligence Station!"

When he came in front of Yan Xishan, the communication staff officer gave a military salute with a slap.
