Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1341 Surprise Announcement (Second Update!)
Outside Taiyuan City, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong stood in front of Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao, and introduced them seriously to the sand table.

"Regimental Commander, Mr. Cheng, after repeated research and demonstrations, we finally determined these two offensive routes, and changed a little bit on the offensive routes you determined."

"From these two points, we made a surprise attack all the way, and before the Taiyuan Japanese and puppet troops reacted, they rushed to the outside of Taiyuan City!"

"Because these two offensive routes are very partial, the devils did not deploy heavy troops. But correspondingly, our armored vehicles and mountain artillery can't attack with the team!"

"How long will it take?" Wang Ping asked while staring at the sand table.

Zhong Chenggong replied: "As long as there are no accidents, you can kill outside the city of Taiyuan in three hours!"

"But there is a prerequisite, the Japanese army in other directions outside the city cannot send troops to reinforce them!"

Wang Ping frowned and decided: "I will find a solution for the reinforcements, but the two commandos must reach the outside of Taiyuan City within two hours. Is there any problem?"

"Yes, but they need to be equipped with more infantry guns and mules. All infantry guns are disassembled and transported by mules!"

"I need to bring some more shells, and use infantry artillery and large-caliber mortars to bombard them when encountering obstruction, open the gap as quickly as possible, and charge forward all the way!"

Wang Ping immediately made a decision: "Xiao Yunshan's place will not be strengthened. The three battalions already have six infantry artillery. But the mountain artillery company should be replaced with a medium-sized mortar company, and it will be directly drawn from the independent division!"

"Take out all three infantry artillery platoons in Ma Dongyun's hands and strengthen them for the independent regiment of the independent division!"

"After the attack begins, the independent regiment will attack Taiyuan City from this point, and Xiao Yunshan will attack Taiyuan from another line!"

"Yes, Commander!" Zhong Chenggong continued to report after quickly recording the order.

"Until now, all the troops are ready for battle! The troops farthest from the battlefield can reach the battlefield in only two hours!"

"All the ammunition we brought over have been sent out, ensuring that the ammunition in the hands of all participating troops can last for at least two days to fight!"

"Heavy Artillery Regiment, Field Artillery Battalion, Mountain Artillery Company, all concealed arrangements are in place, ready to provide fire cover for attacking troops at any time!"

"Very good!" A very satisfied smile appeared on Wang Ping's face.

Turning to Cheng Xiao next to him, he asked, "Old Cheng, do you have anything else to add!"

After seeing Cheng Xiao shaking his head, he directly ordered: "Report to the headquarters, and officially launch an attack on Taiyuan City at eight o'clock tonight!"

"Order all ministries to enter the battlefield after dark, and start the siege on time at eight o'clock in the evening!
At the temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army outside Linfen City, a convoy of more than a dozen cars and sedans rushed over.

As soon as the car in the middle of the line came to a stop, a guard rushed over to open the door.

Chief Yan got out of the car very anxiously, and then walked quickly towards the commander-in-chief.

You Eighth Route Army will take a long time to sell this pass! "

"Tell me three days ago that your Eighth Route Army has prepared a surprise for the old man."

"After I go back, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and all I can think about are the surprises from your mouths. Now it's finally time to reveal the answer!"

The commander-in-chief had a smile on his face, and replied without humility: "Forgive me, Chief Yan, the devil's intelligence system is too powerful, and it penetrates everywhere. In order to keep it secret, we have to do this!"

"Everyone go to the war room with me, and when we get to the war room, everyone will know what this surprise is!"

Dozens of people squeezed into the small war room at once, which was very crowded.

Chief Yan frowned subconsciously.

But soon his eyes were attracted by a combat map hanging on the wall.

Especially the big word "Taiyuan" on the map, Chief Yan's eyes stopped on the word "Taiyuan", and he was reluctant to leave.

The leading lieutenant general sent by Chongqing was the first to react, staring at the commander-in-chief and asking.

"You are going to fight Taiyuan!"

Chief Yan reacted suddenly, and then saw several big arrows pointing directly at Taiyuan on the map.

This is not an ordinary military map, but a combat map that clearly marks the situation of the troops and the direction of attack!

"Can we take Taiyuan?" Chief Yan stared at the map and asked.

The commander-in-chief answered confidently: "[-]% sure!"

"Has the attack started?" Chief Yan continued to ask!
"The attack begins at eight o'clock this evening!" replied the Commander-in-Chief.

A look of disappointment quickly flashed across Officer Yan's face.

Hearing the Commander-in-Chief said that he was [-]% sure of taking Taiyuan City, Chief Yan was moved on the spot, and wanted to take the opportunity to enter Taiyuan City.

But the answer to start attacking tonight directly shattered his dream.

With such a short time, even if I transfer troops now, it is impossible to join in.

Moreover, from the southwest of Shanxi but so far away from Taiyuan, there are bases of the Eighth Route Army and areas occupied by little devils, and the Eighth Route Army will not let an outsider join it rashly!
Chief Yan's mind was running fast, and then he continued to ask: "How many troops have you mobilized? Are you ready to send reinforcements! Taiyuan is the headquarters of the Japanese army in Shanxi, and its strategic position is very important. The Japanese will never let you take it easily." Go down to Taiyuan City!"

The commander-in-chief replied confidently: "Please rest assured, Commander Yan!"

"Our Eighth Route Army has always kept our word, and we will do what we say!"

"Since we have decided to fight Taiyuan, we are sure to win Taiyuan!"

"We have assembled nearly [-] elites and a heavy artillery regiment outside Taiyuan City. Our goal is to take Taiyuan City within three days!"

"As for the reinforcements, Commander Liu has rushed back overnight, and his Taihang Military Region has assembled 10,000+ main forces and local troops to be responsible for the reinforcements!"

"Commander Liu went out in person. I believe that the soldiers of the Taihang Military Region will not only be able to block the Japanese reinforcements around Taiyuan, but also severely injure them and win another great victory!"

"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible to win Taiyuan City in three days!" Chief Yan subconsciously vetoed, frowning.

"Back then, the Japanese had planes and heavy artillery, and it took nearly ten days to take Taiyuan City."

"You don't have aircraft support, just a military advantage, absolutely impossible!"

The expression on the Commander-in-Chief's face remained unchanged, as confident as ever.

He stared at the map and replied arrogantly: "Then we will wait and see!"

"From now on, the frontline battle situation will be reported here all the time. If you are interested, stay here to keep an eye on the frontline battle situation at any time, and see how our Eighth Route Army pulled out its teeth and took Taiyuan City!"
