Yushe County, temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

After Yushe County and Liao County were captured by the Eighth Route Army.

Even the headquarters of the Japanese First Army stationed in Taiyuan was unable to protect itself, so it naturally had no time to worry about recapturing these two county towns.

Therefore, the boss and a group of headquarters leaders temporarily stationed in Yushe County and established a telephone line between the airport and the county.

The deputy chief of staff walked into the CEO's office with two telegrams.

"Boss, we have two pieces of good news!" the chief of staff smiled broadly, "Which one do you want to hear first?"

The boss looked surprised and asked, "What kind of good news can make you so happy, buddy?"

The chief of staff was smiling and about to speak when the boss raised his hand and interrupted him: "Let me guess, one of the good news is that the Japanese army has transferred troops back from Zhongtiao Mountain for reinforcements?"

"It's the boss after all, you guessed it right!" the chief of staff laughed, "According to the intelligence, the Japanese army transferred the 36th Division from the Zhongtiao Shanxi Front battlefield and was rushing to assist Taiyuan. The 37th Division was wiped out by the special operations battalion.

The strength of the regiment is already greatly insufficient."

The boss nodded: "The Japanese army transferred the 37th Division, which means that the Japanese army is ready to give up the siege of the National Army's 5th Group Army on the Western Front battlefield. We can pass this news to the Eighth Route Army Office in Xiangshuangqing City, so that

They directly informed the Shuangqing government that it was up to them to choose whether the Central Army would continue to fight guerrillas in Zhongtiao Mountain or take the opportunity to break out."

"I think it's okay," said the chief of staff, "but there's another piece of good news that you will never guess, boss."

The boss showed an interested look on his face and said, "What kind of good news is it? Why don't you keep it secret."

"The former enemy headquarters that attacked Taiyuan just sent a telegram." The chief of staff laughed, "Wei Dayong got a large armored train at Linfen Railway Station. The train is equipped with 5 large-caliber heavy guns, one of which is a 150mm howitzer.

, have arrived outside Taiyuan City, and destroyed the south wall, and the independent regiment has already entered the city at this time!"

"Really?" The boss's eyes suddenly lit up, "Show me the telegram quickly."

The chief of staff handed the telegram from Ma Chengfeng to the boss, who quickly took it and read it.

"Boss," the chief of staff said with a smile, "to tell you the truth, when I saw this telegram in the telecommunications room, I was almost overjoyed."

"Great!" The boss looked excited and punched the table, causing the kettle and pencils on the table to shake.

"With these large-caliber heavy artillery pieces, there is hope for us to capture Taiyuan!"

"I said why is it so strange? They have been besieging Taiyuan for almost a day, and the Japanese army is not anxious at all. But when the heavy artillery bombarded them, they became anxious!"

"This Wei Dayong, Monk Wei, has never let me down!"

"When this battle is over, I will reward him properly!"

As for whether Taiyuan could be captured, the boss actually didn't have much hope at first.

Because the siege troops lacked large-caliber heavy artillery, they were unable to break through the defenses of the Taiyuan city wall.

When we attacked Yangquan City, it would have been very difficult to defeat it if it hadn't been for the presence of bombers and 250kg aerial bombs.

The original plan was to besiege Taiyuan and force the main force of the Japanese front line to return for reinforcements. This would be enough to achieve this strategic goal.

But now, Wei Dayong has brought large-caliber heavy artillery, and it will be possible to capture Taiyuan!

The boss asked: "Did the intelligence say what method the Japanese army used to return reinforcements?"

"You should be able to take a train." The chief of staff said, "Taking a train from the Zhongtiao Mountain area will take you to Taiyuan in less than 10 hours, but if you hike, it will probably take 4 to 5 days."

The boss stared at the map and said: "Order the fighter jets to dispatch and blow up the bridge from the Zhongtiao Mountain area to the Taiyuan Railway immediately."

Brigadier Chen had previously prepared to ask the headquarters for instructions to send bombers to blow up the bridge, but he put it on hold when Wei Dayong found that the armored train was on its way to Taiyuan.

If the railway had been bombed back before, Wei Dayong and the others would not have been able to reach Taiyuan so quickly.

"By the way." The boss asked, "How is the production of leaflets for the Border District Government going?"

"The first batch of 5,000 leaflets has been printed," said the chief of staff. "The leaflets are not only printed in Chinese, but also in Japanese."

In the past, whether fighting the Chinese army or the Japanese army, enemies with aircraft often used leaflets to spread false news or persuade them to surrender.

This is actually a kind of tactical deception.

Brigadier Chen was attacking Taiyuan and he immediately thought of this method.

In the past, there was no way. Now that we have our own aircraft, we can retaliate and use the enemy's methods to deal with the enemy.

Whether on the Asian battlefield or the European battlefield, warring countries have used aircraft to drop leaflets on the enemy.

Modern Warfare also has tactical deception, but it's more advanced.

For example, in the Russia-Ukraine war, official and private media from both countries published a large amount of false news to confuse the public and achieve the purpose of tactical deception.

The boss raised his wrist and looked at the time: "There are still a few hours until dark. Two fighter planes will be dispatched immediately to scatter the first batch of leaflets to all the enemies in Taiyuan City!"

"Yes!" the chief of staff nodded, "I'll make arrangements right away!"

The pilots who received the notice at the airport immediately flew three fighter jets carrying six 50-kilogram aerial bombs to the west.

More than half an hour later, two more fighter jets flew north carrying 5,000 leaflets.

…

Taiyuan, outside Dongcheng.

The Kamikaze armored train enters the train station.

The train station had been captured by the 772nd Regiment in the morning.

By this time, the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, the Independent Regiment Cavalry Battalion, and the New Regiment Cavalry Company had already arrived at noon.

The slow-running new regiment of mounted infantry also arrived outside the east city a few hours later.

Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa, Ma Renxing and Sun Desheng boarded the armored train at the train station.

As soon as they entered the carriage, everyone looked around and looked like they were old haters going into town. Everything they saw was new.

Cheng Shifa held a shell gun and pressed his military cap with the muzzle of the gun, with a look of envy on his face.

Comparing one person to another will lead to death, just throw it away when comparing goods.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Damn it, why is Li Yunlong's life so good? His subordinates have obtained aircraft and large-caliber heavy artillery.

Why the hell don’t I have such a good life?

Li Yunlong had just finished studying the 105mm cannon and returned to the command compartment when he saw Cheng Shifa drooling there.

"Old Cheng, what are you doing?" Li Yunlong pretended to be surprised, "Why are you on the armored train of our independent regiment instead of commanding the battle at the forward position?"

"Do you think I'm here for you?" Cheng Shifa said, "It's not like the brigade commander called me here and said he had a combat mission."

After a pause, Cheng Shifa asked: "Old Li, I just heard the boss's movement. Is it the heavy artillery firing?"

"Don't mention it." Li Yunlong looked like he was losing blood, "What the hell cannons and howitzers, it took more than thirty shots to knock down the city wall. I don't think the power is very good."

Ding Weidao: "Old Li, you don't like the 105mm cannon and the 150mm howitzer. Can I satisfy you by getting you a 250mm naval gun?"

"Old Ding is right. We used to be poor, but now we are rich." Li Yunlong said, "I don't even take a serious look at a gun with a caliber smaller than 200mm."

"Pretend, keep pretending, I don't know you yet?" Ding Wei said with a smile, "How often do you act obediently when you get an advantage? I must be secretly happy in my heart."

Cheng Shifa immediately said: "You are such a bastard Li Yunlong, you are full of tricks."

Everyone burst out laughing.

At this time, the brigade commander, Wei Dayong and Zhao Gang walked into the command compartment from the C compartment of the artillery car next to them.

"Brigadier!" Everyone saluted quickly, and the brigade commander returned the salute.

Wei Dayong's eyes turned to Ma Renxing behind Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa.

Wu Jing?

While Wei Dayong was stunned, Li Yunlong introduced to Wei Dayong: "This is Ma Renxing, the commander of the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment. This is the chief of staff of our independent regiment. Wei Dayong. The aircraft and armored train that supported us before are the chief of staff."

Got it."

Ma Renxing? Jizhong Cavalry Regiment?

Wei Dayong remembered that this was the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment in the first unit story of "My Fathers and Me".

I was still puzzled. The boy carrying the telegraph machine looked familiar, so I didn't think of it for a moment.

Now seeing Ma Renxing, Wei Dayong finally remembered that that boy should be Ma Chengfeng, Ma Renxing's son, who studied at the Anti-Japanese University.

Commander Ma Renxing, who was on the opposite side, took the initiative to take a step forward, saluted with a military salute and said, "Hello, Chief of Staff Wei!"

"Hello, Commander Ma!" Wei Dayong returned the military salute and said, "I have long admired your name!"

"Oh?" Ma Renxing smiled half-heartedly, staring at Wei Dayong closely, and said, "Have you heard of me?"

He really wanted to know, was Wei Dayong's words about his long-admired name a courtesy or the truth?

After all, the two were in different war zones and had never interacted with each other before, and Ma Renxing had just surrendered not long ago.

Wei Dayong said: "Captain Ma led his troops to stage an uprising in Lingchuan County, SX Province some time ago, and issued a message to the whole country to 'oppose the civil war and strive for unity to resist Japan'. Commander Ma is a bloody and religious Chinese

soldier."

When Ma Renxing heard this, his expression that was half-smiling suddenly bloomed, and he said: "Chief of Staff Wei, you're welcome!"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Dayong exchanged military salutes with Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa, Sun Desheng and others.

The brigade commander then said: "I will simply lay out the next phase of combat missions for each regiment."

"The New Regiment immediately moved from the north of the city to the east of the city. The Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, the New Regiment's cavalry company, and the Independent Regiment's cavalry battalion went to ambush outside the north of the city."

"When the artillery group cooperates with the heavy artillery to knock down the east city wall, the New 1st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment will immediately break into the city!"

"Capture the outer city of Taiyuan in one fell swoop, drive the enemy into the inner city, and occupy the arsenal!"

Although the independent regiment has entered the city from the south gate, the street fighting is different from conventional combat, and it cannot be carried out no matter how much strength advantage it has.

If we can use heavy artillery to destroy a section of the city wall from the east wall, then the troops of the two regiments can enter the city and the enemy will attack from two directions at the same time!

The brigade commander looked solemn: "Do you all understand your respective tasks?"
