Ding Weidao: "Attacking Wusu Airport and attacking Taiyuan City are two different things, and they are two completely different concepts.

Although the defense of Wusu Airport was very tight, and a large minefield was even deployed outside, it was still outside the city, and the Japanese were not prepared in advance.

But Taiyuan City is different. Taiyuan City is not only heavily guarded by the Japs, but also has strong fortifications. Now that we don’t have armored trains, it is almost impossible to break through Taiyuan’s city defenses.”

"Moreover, once Taiyuan City is attacked, the Japanese garrison in the surrounding counties will definitely come back with all their strength. By then, we will be trapped by the Japanese, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Yunlong categorically retorted: "Old Ding, the situation is not as serious as you said. Besides, we are here now. If you don't give it a try, are you willing to go all the way in vain?"

"I'm willing!" Ding Wei said: "Our trip was not in vain. Didn't we successfully connect Brother Zhuzi and his Second Independent Regiment?"

After a pause, Ding Wei saw that Li Yunlong seemed to insist on his opinion, so he added: "If you want to fight, you can fight yourself. Our independent group will not participate anyway. I will report you to the brigade commander immediately when you get back."

When Li Yunlong heard this, his nose was almost crooked with anger: "Hey! Old Ding, I really didn't realize that you are also a traitor, and you always make reports."

"You don't want to fight Taiyuan City, right? Okay, if you don't fight me and Zhuzhu, I really don't believe it. The world will never be the same without you."

Wang Chengzhu looked at the two of them helplessly. At this time, he could finally intervene and said immediately: "Captain, I didn't say I wanted to attack Taiyuan City."

Li Yunlong became anxious when he heard this: "What? No attack on Taiyuan City? I have all the bullets loaded, and you told me not to fight?"

Wang Chengzhu: "When did I say I was going to attack Taiyuan City?"

Li Yunlong was stunned: "We are not going to attack Taiyuan City, are we? OK, but the weapons and equipment of that brigade cannot be missing even a rifle!"

Wang Chengzhu smiled slyly: "Although we are not attacking Taiyuan City, if we eat these two Japs, we will definitely give that old Japs Shinozuka Yoshio a severe physical pain."

Speaking of this, Wang Chengzhu saw the surprised expressions on Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's faces, so he immediately got straight to the point: "When we attacked Wusu Airport, Shinozuka Yoshio sent a main force of Japanese soldiers from Taiyuan City to reinforce.

According to the brothers who were blocking the front line, the strength of this Japanese army was at least one brigade.

Currently, in Taiyuan City, only the general reserve of the Japanese 1st Army remains, which is independently mixed into the 2nd Brigade, a brigade-level force.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, this Japanese reinforcements will most likely be the independent mixed 2nd Brigade."

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu continued: "Furthermore, after the independent mixed 2nd brigade was intercepted by the 3rd and 4th battalions of our regiment, Yoshio Shinozuka sent out another reinforcement force.

Among them, in addition to two brigade-sized infantry units, there is also a brigade-sized armored force.

It is most likely that they are the independent mixed 8th Brigade that was crippled by you, the commander, in Phoenix Ridge last night."

"Now, these two groups of Japanese soldiers are engaging in fierce exchanges of fire with our regiment in the area of ​​Wusu Military Station.

They have learned that Wusu Airport has been destroyed, and in order to wash away their shame, they seem to have entered a state of madness. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to severely damage it."

"So, I plan to unite with your New Regiment and the Independent Regiment to launch a siege on these two Japanese armies. I wonder what the regiment commander and Brother Ding Wei think?"

Li Yunlong's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, and Ding Wei also became interested. Although he was not like Li Yunlong, a leader who did not mind committing Japanese crimes, he was not a conservative either.

Li Yunlong recovered his thoughts and said: "Zhuzi, if this is the case, then the salary cannot be the weapons and equipment of two squadrons and one brigade.

You have to add money!

At least the three of us will share the spoils equally."

"That's easy to say." The Second Independent Regiment currently has no shortage of weapons and equipment, especially after the production line of the M1 Garand rifle is put into production, he will look down on Japanese equipment even more.

Therefore, he doesn't mind distributing more spoils to his brother troops to make them as strong as possible.

Ding Weidao: "Brother Zhuzi, you must have a battle plan, right?"

Wang Chengzhu: "My plan is to let our Second Independent Regiment pretend to retreat first, and then lure the enemy deeper. If nothing happens, the Japanese will definitely take advantage of the situation and launch a pursuit and not let us escape."

"At this time, your new regiment and the independent regiment will outflank the enemy and attack from behind. By then, the enemy will definitely be in chaos. If we encircle them from all sides, even if they cannot be completely annihilated, they will definitely be severely damaged.

.”

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu continued: "In addition, remember to prepare more incendiary bottles to deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Also, if the Japanese want to break out with all their strength, remember to give them a gap.

I believe I don’t need to say more about the principle of besieging an army.

Okay, if you have no objection to my battle plan, then I will explain it in detail."

After speaking, Wang Chengzhu took out a map of the vicinity of Taiyuan City and spread it out directly on the ground.

This was what they captured at Wusu Military Station, and it was much more detailed than their Eighth Route Army map.

After a while, after listening to Wang Chengzhu's detailed deployment, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei couldn't help but nod, and then acted according to the plan.

As for the issue of command authority, anyway, they had already been commanded by Wang Chengzhu once when they were in Jinzhong, so they were used to it.

Besides, they all know that if they follow Wang Chengzhu, they will have meat to eat, and they will also rely on Wang Chengzhu to get rich and eat meat in the future. Naturally, they cannot compete with Wang Chengzhu for command.

As long as there are benefits to be gained, it doesn't really matter whether you have the right to command or not.

It feels good once or feels good all the time. Whether it is Li Yunlong or Ding Wei, they all know how to choose...

Half an hour later.

When Wang Chengzhu arrived near Wusu Military Station, the battle between the enemy and ourselves had reached a fever pitch.

Because the Second Independent Regiment seized favorable terrain in advance, deployed a large number of anti-tank mines and towed mines, and built some simple defenses, they have always had a firm initiative.

The 8th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 1st Armored Vehicle Battalion launched several attacks in succession. Not only did they fail to break through the defense line of the Second Independent Regiment, but they suffered numerous casualties due to the counterattack of the Second Independent Regiment.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Norihide Abe quickly organized a new round of attack, and this time the attack went smoothly as never before.

Not only did they easily tear through the defense line of the Second Independent Regiment, they also defeated the opponent and easily occupied the forward position of the Second Independent Regiment.

Takahashi Akimitsu, captain of the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment, was about to lead his troops to pursue the victory, but was stopped by Norihide Abe: "Wait a minute!"
