Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 385 The courage of the chief (fourth more!)

"The battle plan for attacking Taiyuan City..."

After reacting from the shock, Commander Nie scanned these words again, and asked Wang Ping directly: "Wang Ping, what do you want to do? Don't tell me you want to fight Taiyuan City, Taiyuan City is so easy to fight! "

"There are more than 2 Japanese puppet troops, and there are solid fortifications. Is it possible to take down without the loss of tens of thousands of people!"

"However, our Eighth Route Army has only this little fortune, do you think we can afford the loss of tens of thousands of people!"

A series of questions made Wang Ping speechless, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

It wasn't until Commander Nie calmed down that Wang Ping finally explained: "Chief, I don't really want to take Taiyuan City! I just want to break through the small north gate of Taiyuan City, and then evacuate the Japanese arsenal located at the small north gate of Taiyuan City!"

"I have thought about the deployment of Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City and the surrounding areas for several days, and I think that as long as we arrange it well, we can break through the Xiaobei Gate and occupy the Taiyuan Arsenal at a very low cost!"

Commander Nie didn't finish speaking, frowning, he began to browse the battle plan Wang Ping handed him.

Wang Ping was very discerning, and immediately spread out the map he brought, and then pointed to the marked data on the map to express his thoughts as simply as possible.

Although Wang Ping said it very simply, it still took nearly an hour.

After it was over, what Wang Ping was most worried about happened.

Commander Nie didn't say a word, just walked around the office wrinkled.And he went back to the map from time to time to read the battle plan written by Wang Ping again.

Wang Ping knew that the longer Commander Nie hesitated to make a decision, the less likely he would finally agree.

Just when Wang Ping thought that Commander Nie might not agree to this seemingly very risky battle plan, and his face became more and more embarrassing, Commander Nie finally spoke.

Staring at Wang Ping, he asked, "Are you sure, only four infantry regiments are needed to attack Taiyuan City!"

"Yes! But the heavy artillery company deployed by the independent brigade in the first division must be transferred to me!" Wang Ping seemed to see hope, and met Commander Nie's eyes and affirmed himself.

"What about the casualties? How much can you control the casualties!"

"A regiment!" Wang Ping replied hesitantly.

Seeing that Commander Nie was hesitating again, Wang Ping immediately added: "Chief, I don't really intend to attack Laiyuan City. Only one of the four directions is the main attack. As long as we are caught by surprise, we will definitely be able to break through the small town of Taiyuan City with minimal casualties." North gate, occupy the Japanese Taiyuan arsenal!"

Commander Nie stared at Wang Ping and asked, "But there is one prerequisite for you to achieve this goal. Our troops scattered in Shanxi must attract half of the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City, and hold them back for at least one night. .”

"Half of the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City is nothing. There are only 1 people in the sky, and they are fighting in the field. Our troops in one division can easily do it!"

"However, have you counted the number of Japanese and puppet troops around Taiyuan City? I just counted, and the total strength exceeds the need."

"We want to hold them back overnight and prevent them from reinforcing Taiyuan City. Not to mention twice the number of troops, the same number of troops must be indispensable!"

"Do you know what this means? Not only is the siege battle in Taiyuan City a bloody battle, but the battle in Shanxi is also a bloody battle. Without 2 or [-] casualties, the mission cannot be completed!"

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is now in a period of rapid development. Not to mention 3 to 1 casualties, even if there are [-] casualties, the military region cannot bear it.

Under such circumstances, it is certain that Commander Nie, as the helm of the military region, hesitated.

But Wang Ping still wanted to insist one last time.

"However, Chief, if we can win the Taiyuan Armory, our gains will be unprecedented!"

"Aside from other things, using the equipment of the Taiyuan Armory and sufficient raw materials, it can easily produce more than [-] rifles in one month, which is nearly two regiments' equipment."

"Also, with these devices, the arsenal can directly start producing machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, and even mountain artillery. As for ammunition, except for heavy artillery shells, everything else can be produced!"

"Although we will lose a lot by attacking Taiyuan City, the gains are also very large, enough to make up for our losses!"

The hesitation on Commander Nie's face disappeared after a while. He stared at Wang Ping and asked nervously and anxiously: "Are you sure about the equipment for two regiments a month!"

"Not two regiments, but two reinforced regiments. The company is equipped with four machine guns, the battalion is equipped with three heavy machine guns, and the regiment is the main regiment equipped with a mortar company. If possible, mortars are also assigned to the battalion. The regiment is directly under the mortar. The mortar company directly becomes a mountain artillery company!"

After the Eighth Route Army established base areas behind enemy lines, and especially after winning many battles, the enthusiasm of the common people to join the Eighth Route Army was very high.As long as the Eighth Route Army is willing, it can further expand its troops at any time.

Take the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region as an example, as long as Commander Nie is in the yard, the number of troops may be doubled or even more at any time.

However, due to insufficient weapons and ammunition, the speed of troop expansion can only be repeatedly suppressed.

If you get the equipment from Taiyuan Armory, you can really produce equipment for two regiments in a month.Even if the military region loses 2 people during the entire operation, it will be made up quickly.

Thinking of this, Commander Nie did not have any hesitation, and made a decisive decision: "I agree with your battle plan. For the equipment of the arsenal, for the equipment of the two reinforced regiments a month, I decided to go crazy with you once!"

"I will be in charge of the peripheral battles. I will order the first and second military divisions to form a joint command, and use the troops of the two military divisions to cooperate!"

"As for the siege, since you promised me that the casualties will not exceed one regiment, then you will take command."

"The Independent Brigade is your old army. I will transfer the Independent Brigade to you. You will be the commander-in-chief. The current brigade commander Cheng Xiao will be the deputy commander."

"Cheng Xiao used to be your partner. Although he is at a higher level than you now, after all, he has worked together before. I believe the two of you should be able to cooperate well."

"However, I have a request. Regardless of whether we can break through the fortifications of Taiyuan City, we must retreat before dawn. The task I gave to the two military divisions is also to hold back the Japanese and puppet troops for one night. At dawn, the entire battle in Shanxi will return. It's over! If you don't withdraw from Taiyuan City quickly, you will probably be surrounded by devils!"

"No problem! But I hope the chief can draw [-] soldiers who can drive cars from the army!" Wang Ping was very excited. He didn't expect Commander Nie to have such courage and do what he said.Driven by Commander Nie, I didn't hesitate, and answered with a confident face!
