Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 253 A Logistics Support Team of 22 People
Taiyuan, along the South Tongpu Railway.

"Woo~ boom boom boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of a long siren, a train pulling ten carriages full of goods came from a distance.

This kind of scene is very common in Jin Province. After all, the devils used the Tongpu Railway to plunder countless resources, and even transported countless soldiers by train.

But today's situation is different. The train that was supposed to head to Taiyuan stopped in the wild ten kilometers away from the city.

As soon as the train stopped, the carriage was suddenly opened from the inside.

Dozens of soldiers in gray military uniforms jumped down, and immediately started to work.

The comrades cooperated tacitly, and after getting off the car, they picked up all kinds of boxes and went straight to the target warehouse.The whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, and you can tell that you are a veteran at a glance.

After delivering a box of cans to the destination, Zhang Wanhe turned his head and withdrew, preparing to go back the same way to continue unloading.But after only walking 200 meters, severe pain came from the waist.

As an old comrade who was on the fourth day of work, he had to work hard for two consecutive weeks, and his body had already issued a warning.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have twisted his waist in front of him, a young man dressed as a civilian hurriedly put down the cart in his hand and came running briskly.

"Ah! Minister Zhang! Why don't you listen to persuasion?"

"Didn't everyone let you stay in the logistics department to take charge of the overall situation? Why do you have to go to the front line by yourself?"

"If something happens to you, everyone's backbone will be gone! Come, come, let's go to the tree in front to rest for a while."

This young man is from Yangquan, and his family has lived in the county town for generations.

After the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade was completely wiped out, he always wanted to repay the Eighth Route Army for saving his life.

After learning that the transport team of the 129th Division was short of manpower, he brought the family's mule to the base area with the permission of his parents.

Since Zhang Wanhe has been leading the comrades in the logistics department to stick to the front line recently, most of the villagers know this head of the logistics department who has no airs.

Originally, Lao Zhang wanted to struggle a little bit, but his waist didn't work at all, and he couldn't use any strength.In desperation, he could only be helped by the other party to the big tree 200 meters away.

Five minutes later, Zhang Wanhe barely regained his mobility.He took off the water bottle on his waist and took a sip of water slowly.

"Boy, now is the last step to recover the whole province, and I, the head of the logistics department, must do it myself."

"The Eighth Route Army is different from the Guoku and Jinsui Army. Everyone is equal within us. And as a minister, I have to take the lead."

"Okay, leave me alone. Hurry up and go to work, I'll just rest for a while."

Seeing Zhang Wanhe's resolute eyes, the young man seemed to have a trace of unknown belief in his heart.He nodded seriously, and then returned to the transport queue.

Two weeks after the end of the Zhongtiaoshan Battle, the entire logistics department was really exhausted.

Because most of the devils in the First Army chose to resist stubbornly, they did not forget to destroy the Nantongpu railway, road and bridge before they died.

Although the restoration of many road sections is not difficult, every time Zhang Wanhe followed the comrades of the engineering agency to the site.

With the encouragement of their own ministers, in just one week, the traffic lines in Southeast Shanxi were smooth, and everyone even reinforced some bridges.

Considering that there are ten brigades of troops attacking Taiyuan, a lot of ammunition and food must be needed.Zhang Wanhe planned ahead and prepared all kinds of materials before the deputy commander gave the order.

Immediately afterwards, the transportation problem made him face another difficulty. Now the Eighth Route Army does not have many modern transportation tools to use.

The trucks and trains captured by the devils alone are not enough to carry them.It is almost impossible to send all the materials to the front line of Taiyuan before the scheduled attack time.

Fortunately, the folks in the province extended a helping hand in time, and they spontaneously went to the southeast Shanxi base at the critical moment.

A full 22 ordinary people prepared their own dry food and actively participated in the transportation work of this battle, which is equivalent to having two fellow villagers behind each combatant to provide logistical support.

This week alone, an average of 10 mule-drawn carts and [-]-manpower trolleys went to the front line every day, which greatly improved transportation efficiency.

After fully recovering, Zhang Wanhe stood up holding his knees.He stamped out the cigarette butt he had just finished smoking, then looked at the location in the border area and cursed with a smile:

"Yellow River, the dog's day, wants to be a shopkeeper wherever he goes."

"The M1897 75mm cannon is good for everything, but it's not very friendly to the logistics department. Whose good gun can fire an average of fifteen rounds per minute, isn't this going to force me to die?"

"When he comes back next time, I'll have to give him a good meal."

······
The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the field command post.

After two weeks of logistical preparations, troops at all levels finally received sufficient ammunition and supplies.According to the amount prepared by Zhang Wanhe, ten brigades can surround Taiyuan for at least a week.

At this time, the two brigade commanders, division commanders, Captain Wang Hai, deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general staff gathered together.

Beside everyone, several staff officers were busy hanging several maps on the wall of the command post.

The most obvious of these is the city defense map blown up by the devils as the Maginot of Taiyuan, as well as the distribution map of the defenders' strength and garrison situation.

These three pictures were provided by the First Air Division, and Captain Wang Hai would send out reconnaissance planes every hour.The devils of the First Army didn't have any decent anti-aircraft weapons, so they could only let the soldiers observe.

The other part is a topographic map of the entire North China region, which shows the positions of the Kwantung Army, the Mongolian Army, and the troops directly under the North China Front Army.

"Have all the ministries arrived at the designated preparation positions?"

After hearing the question from the deputy chief of staff, the youngest Brigadier Chen stood up and pointed at the map of Taiyuan with a stick and began to report:
"The New Eleventh Brigade has assembled on the west bank of the Fen River. We only need to wait for the order of the general offensive, and we can act according to the original plan."

"The three brigades on the northern line also arrived at the designated coordinates smoothly. Among them, the New Tenth Brigade also captured the steel factory and rescued hundreds of workers. The other two brigades are stationed in Crouching Tiger Mountain."

"The southern and eastern fronts are also ready for battle. The six brigades are assembled in the Dayingpan and Dongshan areas, ready to go into battle at any time."

Although the map in the command post has not been hung yet, everyone here is a senior commander who has no map in his hand and a map in his heart.Everyone can rely on the report just now to make up the complete battlefield information.

After seeing the end of Brigadier Chen's report, Captain Wang Hai stepped forward to take the small wooden stick.There was a faint smile on his face, as if he had encountered something happy.

"All members of the First Air Division have assembled. This time, 297 fighter jets of various types are participating in the battle."

"Our airport is in Wusu. If necessary, we can provide 1500 sorties of ground attack in a single day."

Wusu Airport is in the southeast corner of Taiyuan, and the distance between the two is only 20 kilometers.Such an important airport, the Marine Regiment took it ten days ago.

After a week of temporary expansion, the airport can barely accommodate all the fighters of the First Air Division.

It's a pity that the take-off and landing process is a bit troublesome. After all, the runway and apron are too crowded, and each formation needs to be carried out in an orderly manner within the specified time.

For the First Air Division, this battle can be called a flying dragon riding a face.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a large number of people living in the Republic of China in Taiyuan City, Captain Wang Hai would have taken the comrades of the First Kong Division to bomb the entire city.

After hearing the appalling number of 1500 sorties, everyone gasped.Although so many fighter jets are not needed, who would think that their near-ground support is too strong?

The next time is the brigade commander's personal show.

At present, the communication lines from Jin Province to Suiyuan and Hebei Provinces have all been cut off by the 120th Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the First Army is already in a state of isolation and helplessness.

From the topographic point of view, Taiyuan City is located in the center of a basin.

It is surrounded by mountains in the east, west and north, and is sandwiched between the Taihang Mountain branch and the Luliang Mountains. There is also a Fen River to the west of the city.

According to the analysis of the above conditions, the most suitable direction to attack is naturally the south.There is no danger to defend, and it is very suitable for the tactics of infantry coordination and air-ground coordination.

At present, the 129th Division has assembled ten brigades with 11 troops, which is ten times that of the First Army.And comparing the two, whether it is quantity or quality, they are all crushed by one's own side.

The main attack task of this operation fell on the South Group with the [-]th Brigade as the main force, and the three brigades under its jurisdiction were from south to north as the first main attack direction.

The candidate for the second main attack was handed over to the East Group headed by the [-]th Brigade. Brigadier Chen would lead the three brigades from east to west to exhaust the first army.

The three brigades headed by the New 10th Brigade are the North Group, and they will feint to put enough pressure.Once the enemy shows signs of decline, Brigadier Fan will feint and switch to the main attack.

Among the four directions, the West Group has the lightest task.

The New 1th Brigade defended west of the Fen River with four regiments. If they dared to try to break out to the west, [-] soldiers would let them know what cruelty is.

After listening to the tactics prepared this time, the deputy commander nodded in satisfaction.In this battle, our own side has great advantages, and having a rigorous plan is the icing on the cake.

"Okay, there is nothing wrong with this battle plan, and I will report it to the border area in a while."

"However, I have a request. After the general offensive begins, the artillery must kill Yoshio Iwamatsu's headquarters as soon as possible!"

After speaking, the deputy commander-in-chief looked at the brigade commander, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"The morale master of the army only gave us three days, and the devil's support troops are coming fiercely. How many days will it take you to conquer Taiyuan?"

It's a matter of business, and the brigade commander is not easy to joke.He looked at the map, and then said seriously:
"Thirty hours, not much less! The strength of Yoshio Iwamatsu and I is ten to one. I have the advantage in all aspects, and I will win this battle."

"There is no joke in the army."

"I dare to issue a military order!"

　There is another chapter, I will try to write it tomorrow morning, and strive to be a healthy brother!
　　In the future, try to get 3000 for two chapters, or 6000 for one chapter.

　　So I swallowed the first few comments?There are so many comments from Captain Jia, it would be a pity to lose them!
