Chapter 317 Fighting Taiyuan(1/2)
Ding Wei also stood up and left in a fake manner.
Li Yunlong quickly stood up and grabbed the two of them, smiling.
"Hey, old Kong, old Kong, old Kong, old Ding, don't leave."
"This time there is such a good thing, this time there is such a great thing."
Ding Wei smiled and said, "Isn't it just an anti-Qingxiang? This can be considered a good thing?"
"That's it." Kong Jie also echoed, "How much oil can the Japanese in Qingxiang have? Can they also be considered a good thing?"
"Old Ding, you, the dog-headed military advisor, were wrong this time, hehe." Li Yunlong laughed, "This time it's not as simple as anti-Qingxiang. Let's have a big time this time."
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong waved his arm vigorously.
"Play a big deal?" Ding Wei sneered, "Who are you fooling?"
Kong Jie said impatiently: "Old Li, don't keep it from being a fool. What's the good thing?"
"What's the good thing? Hehe, I'll scare you when I say it." Li Yunlong said proudly, "This time we'll make a big noise, let's go to fight Taiyuan!"
"What are you saying? What are you saying? Cough cough cough..."
Kong Jie snatched his old smoke into his lung duct and almost choked to death.
Ding Wei also looked at Li Yunlong with an idiot and said dumbfoundedly: "I remember one time I told Lao Kong that if you give you a teacher, you will be fucking dare to run to fight Taiyuan."
"Old Li, it seems that I still underestimate you after all."
"Your dog god dares to run to fight Taiyuan."
Hearing this, Wang Yexin said that Ding Wei's vision was quite accurate.
Li Yunlong’s bottom line is one division, and if he has one division, he dares to fight Taiyuan.
"Old Ding, aren't you and Lao Kong?" Li Yunlong laughed and said, "We have a brigade, and it's a full brigade with nearly 5,000 people!"
"Old Li, I tell you there is no door."
Ding Wei said: "Old Kong and I won't mess with you."
"That's it." Kong Jie finally recovered and said angrily, "Old Ding and I are here this time to discuss with you how to fight against Qingxiang, but we are not here to go crazy with you."
Wang Ye knew that it would be his turn to speak next.
Wang Ye said at the moment: "Captain Ding, Captain Kong, this is really not a nonsense."
"Huh?" Seeing Wang Ye say the same, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's expressions also became solemn.
Because they knew Wang Ye's personality, Li Yunlong often talked nonsense, but Wang Ye never joked about such big things. He said that it wasn't nonsense, then it must be.
"That's the case." Wang Ye said again, "Based on the information we have, the Japanese army is about to launch a large-scale offensive operation against the Central Army in Nakajo Mountain."
"Is this actually happening?" Kong Jie's face changed.
Ding Wei said in a deep voice: "In this case, we really can't sit still."
After all, it was Ding Wei who could see the pros and cons at a glance. He knew that the Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain and the Jinsui Army in western Shanxi had a relationship with their Eighth Route Army.
Unlike Chang Kaishen, Yan Xishan is short-sighted and can only see a little far away in front of him.
Ding Wei knew very well that once the Central Army was wiped out, the Japanese army could free up the troops of three divisions at once, which would undoubtedly be very unfavorable for the Jinsui Army hiding in western Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army scattered throughout SX Province.
After pausing, Ding Wei said again: "Then I agree with Lao Li's opinion, it's better to make a big noise."
Kong Jie frowned and said, "There is nothing to say to provide the Central Army in Zhongtiaoshan to support the best of its ability, but there is no need to fight Taiyuan, right? Just by the strength of our three regiments, how much can we get to fight Taiyuan? Don't fight to the end, if you don't eat the mutton but get a badass, it will be embarrassing to grandma's house."
Ding Wei shook his head and said, "It's a trivial matter to be embarrassed. How much is face worth?"
Speaking of this, Ding Wei said: "The key issue is that Taiyuan is the old nest that Yan Xishan has been operating for many years, and it has two cities inside and outside. If we attack from the front, we will definitely not be able to get it."
"It's light to hit the head and blood, and maybe you'll lose all your money."
"That's not necessarily." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "How many days have the Jinsui Army been defending in the Battle of Taiyuan?"
"It can't be compared like this." Kong Jie waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Although the Japanese army's combat effectiveness has declined to a certain extent since last year, it is still much stronger than the Jinsui Army in Yanxishan. What's more, the strength of our three regiments is not as large as the Japanese army at the time, so there is no way to see the equipment."
"That's the reason." Ding Wei agreed with it. "If you want to attack the city, you must at least have cannons, right? But our three regiments only have a few mortars in total, which can be used to hit the ball?"
"After talking for a long time, how can you two listen to the difficulties you two emphasize here?"
Li Yunlong was a little unhappy and stared at him and said, "Will we not fight without cannons? Lao Ding, why have you become the same as Lao Kong? He turned into a shy turtle?"
"Hey, look at this doggy god." Ding Wei and Kong Jie were both angry at the same time.
That is, Li Yunlong, who can make both of them angry in just one sentence.
But after all, he is a brother of life and death who has been in the class and can make jokes.
Ding Wei said angrily: "Old Li, don't keep it aside, just give me a word."
"If you are right, just hit Taiyuan, just hit Taiyuan!" Li Yunlong said word by word, "The reason is very simple, because no one would have thought that we dare to hit Taiyuan! What is this called?"
Wang Ye continued: "Accidentally, attack him unpredictable."
"Yes." Li Yunlong clapped his hands and said, "Go ahead and attack him unexpectedly!"
"My God, do you really want to fight Taiyuan?" Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other.
Wang Ye said: "Captain Ding and Commander Kong, as long as we make the plan well and successfully defraud the tactical situation, we still have a certain chance to win Taiyuan."
Ding Wei said: "Tell me, Xiao Wang, how are you going to deceive the Japanese?"
Wang Ye said: "Sun Tzu's art of war is about knowing oneself and an enemy, and he will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Therefore, before formulating a combat plan, we must first understand the details of the Japanese army and the possible deployments."
"I agree." Ding Wei said, "Then let's start with the Japanese."
Wang Ye said: "Based on the information provided by the inside line and combined with certain estimates, the composition of the Japanese army's 1st Army stationed in Shanxi can be basically determined."
"The 1st Army has 4 divisions and 3 brigades under its jurisdiction."
"The 3rd Brigade has about 7,000 people stationed in Taiyuan."
"The 4th Brigade has about 5,000 people stationed in Yangquan."
"The 9th Brigade has about 5,000 people stationed in Niangzi Pass."
"The 2nd Guard Division of about 12,000 people were stationed in Anhua."
"The 36th Division has about 16,000 people stationed in Lu'an area."
"The 37th Division has about 16,000 people stationed in Yuncheng area."
"The 41st Division has about 16,000 people stationed in Linfen area."
"The Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi, plus the military police, had about 80,000 troops."
"In addition, if the Japanese army launches the Battle of Nakajoyama, they will definitely draw troops from other battlefields. This is not within our consideration. Our enemy is mainly the 1st Army."
"Agree." Ding Wei said, "If the Japanese army launches the Zhongtiaoshan Battle, the three divisions stationed in Lu'an, Yuncheng and Linfen will definitely be the main force. The three brigades stationed in Niangziguan, Yangquan and Taiyuan will definitely be transferred south, so the defense forces along Zhengtai Road and Taiyuan will be greatly weakened."
...
In Taiyuan.
Yoshio Iwamatsu is also discussing with Hanagu how to adjust its troops.
Hua Guzheng said in a deep voice: "Commander, in accordance with the deployment of the Front Command, the 36th, 37th and 41st Divisions will take on the main attack mission."
"In this way, it will inevitably lead to empty garrisons in the entire southern Shanxi region."
"So, it is necessary to transfer the main forces of the 4th and 9th Brigades to Lu'an and Fenyang areas. On the one hand, they can guard the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyue Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and on the other hand, they can also support the main forces of the Imperial Army in Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield."
"In addition, the 3rd Brigade must also leave Yangquan from Taiyuan to ensure the safety of Zhengtai Road."
This is also the usual practice of the Japanese army, which confuses and disrupts the enemy's judgment through frequent mobilizations.
For example, transferring the 3rd Brigade to Yangquan, and then transferring the 4th and 9th Brigades to Lu'an and Fenyang is more complicated than transferring the 4th and 9th Brigades to South Shanxi, and it is more complicated to transfer the 3rd Brigade to southern Shanxi, and it is less likely to be seen through the intentions by the enemy. The Japanese army often adopts this approach on the front battlefield, and the effect is also very good.
...
Zhao Gang said: "Does the insider provide valuable information?"
Wang Ye said: "There is no news from our inside line yet, but I guess the Japanese troops in Taiyuan, Yangquan and other places will be frequently mobilized in the future."
Ding Wei said: "This is not surprising."
Kong Jie said: "This is the traditional craft of the Japanese."
"That's right." Li Yunlong said, "Every time the Japanese swept, they would always transfer garrisons from all over the place to run around, and they would make our intelligence personnel dizzy. When our intelligence personnel verified the situation, they would try their best to transmit the information. Hey, the doggy all have been swept, and we have suffered a great loss."
"There is such an operation?" Zhao Gang said dumbfoundedly, "The Japanese are really cunning."
"Later, we learned our lessons." Li Yunlong snorted, "I will no longer spy on the movements of the Japanese."
Ding Wei said: "We go straight to the core and make judgments directly from the combat motivation and the composition of troops."
Kong Jie said: "Although there are often some deviations, there is still no problem in the general direction."
Li Yunlong continued: "For example, this time, the 3rd division in southern Shanxi must be the main force in attacking Zhongtiao Mountain, and the three brigades stationed in Taiyuan, Yangquan and Niangzi Pass will definitely be transferred south."
"There is also the 2nd Guard Division stationed in Anhua." Wang Ye continued.
"I think at least one infantry corps will be transferred to Taiyuan."
