Outside Taiyuan City, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong stood in front of Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao, and introduced to the sand table with a serious expression.

"The leader of the regiment and Commander Cheng, after our repeated research and demonstration, we finally determined these two offensive routes, and slightly changed the offensive route you determined."

"From these two points, they raided all the way, and before the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan could react, they marched outside Taiyuan City!"

"Because these two offensive routes are very biased, the Japanese did not arrange heavy troops. But accordingly, our armored vehicles and mountain cannons cannot attack with the team!"

"How long will it take?" Wang Ping stared at the sand panel and asked.

Zhong Chenggong replied: "As long as nothing unexpected happens, you can reach the outside of Taiyuan City in three hours!"

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

Wang Ping frowned and decided to say, "I will find a way to solve the reinforcement force, but the two commandos must reach outside Taiyuan City within two hours. Is there any problem?"

"Yes, but they need to be equipped with more infantry cannons and mules and horses. All infantry cannons will be dismantled and transported by mules and horses!"

"You need to bring more shells. When encountering blockage, use infantry artillery large-caliber mortars to bombard them, open the gap as fast as possible, and assault all the way forward!"

Wang Ping immediately made a decision: "Xiao Yunshan will not be strengthened. The three battalions originally had six infantry artillery pieces. But the mountain artillery company should be replaced with a medium-sized mortar company and directly drawn from the independent division!"

"Pull out all three infantry artillery platoons in Ma Dongyun's hand and strengthen it to the independent regiment of the Independent Division!"

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

"Yes, the leader!" Zhong Chenggong, who quickly recorded the order, continued to report.

"So far, all troops are ready for combat! The troops that are farthest from the battlefield can only reach the battlefield in two hours!"

"All the ammunition we brought has been sent to ensure that all the ammunition in the hands of the participating troops can be maintained for at least two days!"

"The heavy artillery regiment, field artillery battalion, and mountain artillery company are all hidden and arranged in place, and can provide fire cover to the offensive troops at any time!"

"Very good!" Wang Ping's face showed a very satisfied smile.

Turning his head and asking Cheng Xiao next to him, "Old Cheng, do you have anything to add?"

After seeing Cheng Xiao shook his head, he directly ordered: "Report to the headquarters, we will launch an attack on Taiyuan City at 8 o'clock tonight!"

"Order all departments to start entering the battlefield after dark and start siege on time at 8 o'clock in the evening!

At the temporary garrison of the Eighth Route Army headquarters outside Linfen City, a convoy of more than a dozen cars and cars rushed over.

As soon as the car was walking in the middle of the line stopped, a guard rushed over and opened the door.

Chief Yan was very anxious to get out of the car and then walked quickly towards the commander-in-chief.

Your Eighth Route Army will be sold for a long time!"

"I told me three days ago that your Eighth Route Army had prepared a surprise for the old man."

"I couldn't eat well after I got back, and I couldn't sleep well. All I thought about was the surprises in my mind. Now it's finally time to reveal the answer!"

The commander-in-chief smiled on his face and replied without hesitation: "Forgive me, Chief Yan, the Japanese intelligence system is so powerful and omnipresent. In order to keep it secret, we have to do this!"

"Everyone goes to the war room with me. After you arrive at the war room, you will know what this surprise is!"

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

Chief Yan's brows subconsciously frowned.

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

Especially with the big Taiyuan word on the map, Chief Yan's eyes stopped on the two words and were reluctant to leave.

The lieutenant general sent by Chongqing to react first, stared at the commander-in-chief and asked.

"You want to fight Taiyuan!"

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

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

"Can you take Taiyuan?" Chief Yan asked, staring at the map.

The commander-in-chief replied confidently: "I am 80% sure!"

"Have the attack started?" Chief Yan continued to ask!

"The attack will start at 8 o'clock tonight!" the commander-in-chief replied.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Chief Yan's face.

When he heard the commander-in-chief say that he was 80% sure to take down Taiyuan City, Chief Yan was moved on the spot and wanted to make a fuss and take the opportunity to enter Taiyuan City.

But tonight, the answer that started attacking directly broke his dream.

With such a short time, even if I am now dispatching troops, I will never be able to join.

Moreover, from southwest Shanxi but so far away from Taiyuan, there are Eighth Route Army bases and Japanese occupied areas, so the Eighth Route Army will not let itself, an outsider, join in rashly!

Chief Yan's mind was running quickly, and he continued to ask: "How many troops have you mobilized? Are you ready to attack the aid troops! Taiyuan is the Japanese military headquarters in Shanxi, and its strategic position is very important. The Japanese will never let you easily take down Taiyuan City!"

The commander-in-chief replied confidently: "Please rest assured of this!"

"Our Eighth Route Army keeps our word and do what we say!"

"Since you have decided to fight Taiyuan, you are sure to take Taiyuan!"

"Outside Taiyuan City, we have gathered nearly 30,000 elite troops and a heavy artillery regiment. Our goal is to take Taiyuan City within three days!"

"As for attacking aid, Commander Liu has rushed back overnight. His Taihang Military Region has gathered more than 100,000 main troops and local troops to be responsible for attacking aid!"

"Commander Liu personally took action. I believe that the soldiers of the Taihang Military Region can not only block the Japanese reinforcements around Taiyuan, but also severely damage them and achieve another great victory!"

"Impossible, it is impossible to take down Taiyuan City in three days!" Chief Yan frowned and subconsciously rejected it.

"The Japanese had planes and heavy artillery back then, and it took nearly ten days to take over Taiyuan City."

"You have no airplane support, and you can't do it with just one military advantage!"

The expression on the commander-in-chief's face did not change at all, and he was as confident as ever.

Staring at the map, he replied arrogantly: "Then let's wait and see!"

"From now on, the front-line battle situation will be spread here at all times. If you are interested, stay here and pay attention to the front-line battle situation at any time to see how our Eighth Route Army pulled its teeth and took over Taiyuan City!"
