Chapter 515: Wang Chengzhu returns to the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander's test
The deputy general manager's expression became serious at this time, and he continued: "The general policy of our Eighth Route Army in the past two years is to break it into parts, integrate with local troops, and actively expand its strength."
“After two years of expansion, the results have been very significant.”
"So now that we have the conditions, it is necessary for us to form an artillery unit, which is no longer limited to guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare, but must dare to launch large-scale mobile warfare against the Japanese.
Only in this way can we truly defeat the Japanese invaders!"
The deputy CEO has a firm attitude and an extremely serious expression.
The brigade commander straightened up and said solemnly: "I understand, our 386th Brigade unconditionally supports all decisions and actions of the headquarters!"
Vice President: "By the way, have you calculated the money and grain seized during this raid on Jinzhong?"
Brigadier: "Cracking down on local tyrants requires a process, and the statistics have not been calculated yet, but don't worry, boss, I will report to you as soon as possible after the statistics are released."
The vice president nodded: "Okay! You keep 10% of the military expenses, and the rest will be handed over to the headquarters, which will use connections to purchase some medical supplies in Shanghai.
The conditions of our Eighth Route Army are miserable, and there is a lack of medical supplies, so that many soldiers apparently suffered non-fatal injuries, but in the end they died because they had no medicines and could not get medical treatment."
Speaking of this, the vice president's expression became more solemn than ever.
The brigade commander's expression also became solemn. He also knew these situations, so he never kept anything secret when it came to money.
The vice president added: "As for the food, you only need to hand over half of it."
"Okay, I'm leaving then." The vice president said vigorously and resolutely, coming and going in a hurry. After saying that, he stood up and left.
The brigade commander said quickly: "Boss, don't be in a hurry to leave. It's already lunch time. It's not too late to have lunch before leaving."
"No more! I have a lot of work to do when I get back." After saying that, the vice president walked straight out the door.
"Boss, I'll see you off." The brigade commander followed him out of the door, watching the deputy boss get on his horse and walk away, and then he turned back with all the brigade chiefs.
The smile on his face also collapsed at this moment, as if he had defeated a cock.
At this time, Wang Chengzhu suddenly turned quietly from behind the corner next to him. He had been at the brigade headquarters for a few minutes.
After learning that the vice president was coming, he was so frightened that he hid and did not show up until the vice president left.
I have no choice but to do something wrong and I am afraid of being punished and criticized by my boss.
"Report! Brigadier!" Wang Chengzhu ran over in a hurry. When he saw the brigade commander's crying expression, he immediately guessed that he must have been robbed by the boss, and he couldn't help but feel funny.
You also have today, which makes you like robbing!
The brigade commander turned around: "Hey, Zhuzhu, when did you come to the brigade headquarters?"
Wang Chengzhu smiled naively: "Just arrived, hehehehe."
Brigadier: "I see you have been here for a while. What's wrong? You don't dare to see the boss for fear of being punished?"
"I'm telling you, your trap is too big this time, and you can't hide from it!"
Wang Chengzhu's anus tightened: "Ah? The boss made a special trip to our brigade headquarters. Could it be that he is here to punish us?"
The brigade commander sighed and said angrily: "It would be great if the boss really came to punish you."
Wang Chengzhu was a little confused.
Deputy Chief of Staff Wang on the side whispered: "The boss is here to rob us."
Wang Chengzhu was amused, and he guessed it right.
The brigade commander glared at Deputy Chief of Staff Wang, and then said to Wang Chengzhu: "You want to attack the Japanese airport?"
Wang Chengzhu nodded: "That's right! The threat of the Japanese planes to our army is so great that we can only fight at night.
But this is not a long-term solution, so I want to do it once and for all, and take advantage of the Taiyuan Japs’ lack of troops to kill their airport first!”
"Go to the brigade headquarters and talk."
After the brigade commander finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the brigade headquarters.
…
Brigade Headquarters.
The brigade commander took out a prepared document and patted it in front of Wang Chengzhu: "This is the information you want about Taiyuan Airport."
Wang Chengzhu opened the document and looked at it for a while, then said: "There are two airports in Taiyuan?"
Wang Chengzhu's face showed surprise. He thought there was only one airport in Taiyuan, but he didn't expect that there were two airports.
The brigade commander nodded: "Yes, there are two airports in Taiyuan, namely Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport.
Among them, Xincheng Airport is 15 kilometers away from the north of the city, and Wusu Airport is 15 kilometers away from the east of the city. Each airport has at least one brigade of security forces, in addition to the aviation brigade headquarters."
“A circle of electrified barbed wire has been set up around the perimeter of the airport, and a moat with a width of more than 5 meters has been dug outside the barbed wire.
In addition, a large minefield was deployed outside the moat."
These information documents are all there. After reading them, Wang Chengzhu also had a solemn look on his face.
A garrison brigade is not difficult to deal with, but the key problem is that there are not only power grids outside the airport, but also moats and minefields, which greatly reduces the possibility of sneak attacks.
But if there is no sneak attack, even if the airport can be captured, the Japanese aviation troops in the airport will definitely control the aircraft to take off as soon as possible. By then, what they have captured will be an empty airport, which is meaningless.
The brigade commander waited for a moment, then spoke again: "How about it, do you still want to go to Taiyuan Airport?"
"Fight!" Wang Chengzhu said with a determined expression: "Now that the Japanese troops are empty in Taiyuan City, it is our best opportunity to make a sneak attack. Otherwise, once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we will have no chance to attack Taiyuan again."
The brigade commander nodded: "I can allow you to hit Taiyuan Airport, but remember, I will not provide you with any help. In addition, the New Regiment, the Independent Regiment and other departments will not be involved. They have other tasks next.
"
After a pause, the brigade commander changed the topic and continued: "Also, you must not force it. If you cannot defeat it, you must withdraw your troops decisively!"
If Li Yunlong said he wanted to attack Taiyuan Airport, the brigade commander would definitely not agree, because Li Yunlong is a stubborn donkey. Instead of retreating when faced with setbacks, he would continue to act recklessly.
The advantage of this is that it is possible to risk death and survive, but it is also possible to fall into a situation of no return.
But Wang Chengzhu is obviously not such a person.
Another point is that the brigade commander wanted to temper Wang Chengzhu's character. Wang Chengzhu's fight was so smooth that he encountered almost no setbacks.
This may seem good, but in fact there is a fatal danger, that is, once Wang Chengzhu is frustrated at any time, he may have inner demons, which will lead to the fall of this newly emerged star before it has fully risen.
This is something the brigade commander does not want to see and cannot accept.
Therefore, rather than letting Wang Chengzhu fall into catastrophe later, it is better to let him suffer a little setback now.
Yes, in fact, the brigade commander was not very optimistic about Wang Chengzhu's ability to capture Taiyuan Airport, but he also believed that even if Wang Chengzhu could not capture the airport, he would never let the Second Independent Regiment fall into catastrophe.
Because he will make two preparations, that is, let Li Yunlong and Ding Wei assist in secret.
In this way, with Shinozuka Yoshio's current strength in Taiyuan City, even if he can disrupt the offensive of the Second Independent Regiment, it is impossible to severely damage the Second Independent Regiment...
