I am a wolf warrior

"Agreed." Liang Gang also smiled, "Brother Yunfei's thoughts coincide with those of my younger brother."

Chu Yunfei said: "That's exactly what I'm worried about. My chief of staff is more than loyal but not astute. I'm worried that he won't be able to grasp the fire and will directly conflict with the Eighth Route Army."

Liang Gang smiled and said, "In this case, let's go."

Although the Minister's Department has guard posts, it is obviously impossible to detain them.

Chu Yunfei said hesitantly: "But it's not good to leave without saying hello to Chief Yan?"

Liang Gang smiled and said, "But the question is, after saying hello, will Chief Yan obediently let you and my brother leave Qiulin Town?"

"Forget it." After hesitating for a while, Chu Yunfei made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Follow the matter urgently, so there is no need to bid farewell to Chief Yan in person."

……

Half an hour later, the guard captain Lei Yangtang hurried into Yan Xishan's office: "Boss, just now the guards went to the ancestral hall to deliver lunch, and found that Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang had left without saying goodbye!"

"What are you talking about?" Yan Xishan said in amazement, "Leave without saying goodbye?"

"Yes." Lei Yangtang said in a deep voice, "Should we send someone to arrest him?"

"Nonsense, what are you arresting?" Yan Xishan said, "They didn't break the law."

Yang Zhenji, the director of intelligence next to him, said: "But Chief, we spent so much effort to finally invite the two of them to Qiulin Town, isn't it just for the upcoming battle?"

After a pause, Yang Zhenji continued: "At present, the war in Shanxi is imminent, but Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang have slipped away at this juncture. This will definitely have a great impact on our entire action plan."

"Then you can't arrest people casually." Yan Xishan said with a dark face, "There must be a reason, right?"

Yang Zhenji's eyes lit up and he said: "It is said that some soldiers reported to the Minister's Department that they had withheld military pay, so the chief sent someone to ask them to come back to verify the situation. It is just a verification, not an investigation."

"That's about the same." Yan Xishan said happily, "Then invite them back."

"Yes!" Lei Yangtang agreed, and immediately led the guards excitedly to arrest him.

However, less than two hours later, Lei Yangtang returned to the Minister's Department dejectedly.

"Boss, it's a step too late to go to the humble post." Lei Yangtang said helplessly, "When I arrived at the ferry with the guards, Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang had already crossed the Yellow River with the guards."

……

Chang Kaishen and Yan Xishan are like rats in the gutter, plotting sinister deeds.

The Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region is preparing for the anti-mopping up, while Wang Ye is working day and night to formulate a complete combat plan for the Taiyuan Campaign.

Today, a detailed battle plan is finally released.

At this time, nearly 21 people from the 3 main battalions of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, as well as the teams directly under the three regiments, had gathered in Crouching Tiger Mountain.

Thanks to the bumper harvest of autumn grain in the base area of ​​Crouching Tiger Mountain last year.

Otherwise, it would be a big problem to feed so many people, horses and livestock.

As the commander-in-chief of the campaign, Ding Wei immediately saw the battle plan formulated by Wang Ye.

I saw that the whole plan is divided into several parts, such as judgment of enemy situation, campaign intention, troop formation, march and deployment, division of combat stages, emergency plan for each stage, logistics support, retreat deployment, and reconnaissance, etc., which are very detailed.

The enemy situation judgment part has been discussed before, and the conclusion is: the Japanese army in Taiyuan is about 4000 people, and the puppet army is about 2000 people.

The purpose of the campaign is divided into two: one is to force the main force of the Japanese army to return to Taiyuan, and the other is to snatch the equipment of the bullet factory.

The troops were organized into twelve regiments of the Taiyue Military Region, including the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, the Seventh and Second Regiment, and the Artillery Regiment.

The marching route was that the three regiments in the northwest of Shanxi went south along the Tongpu Railway, and the twelve regiments of the Taiyue Military Region went north along the Baijin Line, and arrived outside Taiyuan City to form two clusters in the north and south.

The northern group attacked Zhenyuan Gate and Gongji Gate.

The southern group attacked Cheng'en Gate and Yingze Gate.

The intention of Wang Ye's move is obvious, to put huge military pressure on the Taiyuan defenders, but without blocking the city gates on all sides, it still leaves two ways for the defenders to survive.

Combat phases are divided into three phases according to time nodes.

The first three days are the first stage, and the combat objective is to clear the peripheral fortifications.

Contingency plan: If the [-]rd Brigade in Anhua goes south for reinforcements or the [-]th Brigade in Yangquan goes west for reinforcements, then depending on the strength of the Japanese army, the corresponding troops will be dispatched to stop the attack. The southern group gave up the siege of Taiyuan and switched to defensive operations on the spot to buy time for the northern group.

If the task cannot be completed within three days, continue to extend the time.

The fourth to sixth days are the second stage. The goal of this stage is to capture the city wall of Gongjimen and control the northern area of ​​Taiyuan City, including the factory area of ​​Taiyuan Machinery Factory.

Contingency plan: the same as the first stage.

The seventh day to the tenth day is the third stage. The combat objective of this stage is to eliminate the remnants of the outer city and clear the obstacles for the final capture of the inner city of Taiyuan.

Contingency plan: On the basis of the first stage, add another one. Once the main force of the first army that swept the Taihang military region returned to rescue Taiyuan, the Taiyuan campaign would be terminated immediately, and all the troops participating in the war would evacuate in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Ding Wei asked, "Xiao Wang, is your plan incomplete?"

"Incomplete?" Wang Ye said in astonishment, "Captain Ding, what's incomplete?"

Ding Wei said: "There should be a fourth stage, the stage of attacking the inner city of Taiyuan."

Wang Ye said: "Commander Ding, there will be no fourth stage, because the devils will never give us the time and opportunity to seize the inner city of Taiyuan. Before we wipe out the remnants of the outer city of Taiyuan, we are participating in the mopping up in the Taihang base area." The main force of the first army in the battle should be backed up by the whole division, so the fourth phase of the battle plan is unnecessary."

Having said this, Wang Ye said again: "Besides, there is no way to do the plan for the fourth stage, because by that time, what will the Taiyuan Battle be like, how many people have been killed and wounded, how much ammunition is left, how much will the Taiyuan defenders have? There is no way to predict how many people are left and how much firepower there is, so there is no way to make combat plans in advance.”

After another pause, he continued: "In fact, the plan for the third stage is already very reluctant, but because it is a street battle, the requirements for troops and firepower are not high, and the battle plan can still be prepared in advance, but it can only be done roughly. It is impossible to make a detailed plan like the previous two stages."

Ding Wei went on to read the follow-up logistics support, evacuation deployment, and reconnaissance.

Then he asked Li Yunlong and Kong Jie: "Lao Li, Lao Kong, have you two read this plan?"

"I have read it a long time ago." Li Yunlong said, "Xiao Wang just made this plan, and I have already read it."

Kong Jie tapped the table leg twice with his pipe, and said, "I read it too, last night. Hey, old Kong has never seen such a detailed battle plan in his life."

Ding Wei asked: "Then do you think there is any problem with Xiao Wang's plan?"

"There must be a problem." Li Yunlong paused, and then said, "But our old Li can't see it."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ding Wei gave Li Yunlong a white look, and said, "Well, since the three of us can't see any problem, let's follow suit."

"Yes." Wang Ye replied yes.

When the battle plan is about to be broken down,

Communicate the corresponding parts to the various ministries participating in the war.

Finally, Wang Ye called Li Xia over again: "Li Xia, you issue a secret order to the Sirius Squadron, tell the mouse that there is no need to conduct battlefield reconnaissance outside the Taihang Military Region, and ask him to take the Sirius Squadron to the headquarters immediately. In the future, we will act together with the headquarters to ensure the safety of all personnel in the headquarters."

Wang Ye remembered very clearly that the deputy chief of staff died in this anti-sweep.

Wang Ye wasn't sure if such an arrangement could prevent the tragedy from happening again, but that was all he could do, and the rest could only be handed over to Feng Xianghe and the Sirius Squadron.

……

Liao County.

A huge "Japanese army" is marching forward along the highway in a four-way column.

On a small hill about two kilometers away from the road, three Eighth Route Army troops were quietly lying on their stomachs. These three Eighth Route Army troops were the squad led by Feng Xianghe.

"Strange." Feng Xianghe put down the binoculars and muttered.

The team member Ge Dazhuang lying next to him asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

"I can't say it, I always feel that these ghosts are a bit strange." Feng Xianghe frowned and said, "But what is strange about it, I can't say it all at once."

Ge Dazhuang said: "Why don't you catch someone alive and ask?"

"Hey, this is a way." Feng Xianghe's eyes lit up.

Immediately, Feng Xianghe took Ge Dazhuang and another team member to the vicinity of the road quietly.

It was late April at this time, and the corn stalks on both sides of the road had grown to the height of a person, forming a large green gauze tent, even if it could hide thousands of people, it would be no problem.

The opportunity came soon, and a "devil" broke away from the brigade and sneaked into Baogudi to relieve himself.

Feng Xianghe winked, and Ge Dazhuang and another team member immediately surrounded him from left to right.

Within a few minutes before and after, Ge Dazhuang and the two brought a "devil" to Feng Xianghe, only to see that the devil's mouth was blocked by a torn sock, but his eyes were wide open, showing a look of incomparable horror.

Feng Xianghe immediately said in Japanese: "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Chapter 436 The Battle Begins

however……

After Feng Xianghe finished speaking, the "devil" just looked at him blankly.

"Grass." Feng Xianghe cursed in a low voice, then turned to ask Ge Dazhuang, "Da Zhuang, can you understand what I said?"

"Yes, of course." Ge Dazhuang said, "You told him not to be afraid, we just want to ask him a few questions."

Hearing this, the "devil" struggled vigorously, and made a humming sound from his nose, as if he wanted to say something to Feng Xianghe.

"Hey, this is really weird."

Feng Xianghe scolded with a smile: "This little devil seems to understand Chinese?"

Immediately, Feng Xianghe took out his bayonet and put it on the "devil"'s neck, and said, "Don't bark later, as long as you answer my question honestly, I can spare your life."

"Yeah." The ghost nodded hastily.

"Hey, this little devil can really understand."

Ge Dazhuang also smiled and said: "Captain, we are lucky this time. We actually caught a devil who can understand Chinese as a prisoner. This is a rare thing."

Over there, Feng Xianghe had already ripped off the stinky socks from the devil's mouth.

As soon as his mouth was free, the devil immediately said, "Baye, I'm not a devil, I'm Chinese, and I'm also Chinese."

"What? Are you Chinese too?"

Ge Dazhuang glanced at the military uniform on the devil, and said, "Who is it?"

"Baye, I'm really Chinese. I'm from the Third Division of the Imperial Association Army." The puppet prisoner swore, "I just wore the imperial army... no, I just wore the devil's uniform."

Feng Xianghe was keenly aware that he had discovered an important piece of information.

At that moment Feng Xiang said: "Why do you wear devil uniforms?"

"I don't know about this." The puppet prisoner said, "The people above asked us to wear it."

Feng Xianghe pointed at the people and horses on the road, and said, "Are these all members of your fake Third Master?"

"Yes, yes." The puppet prisoner nodded again and again, "These are all members of the Third Division of our Imperial Association Army. If Ba Ye doesn't believe me, I can call another person in, and then you can ask him."

"Okay." Feng Xiang said peacefully, "Call another person in."

The puppet prisoner immediately shouted: "Black dog? Black dog!"

Soon, there was a echoing voice on the road: "Brother Seven, did you forget the paper again?"

"What nonsense." The puppet prisoner said angrily, "Hurry up and bring in straw paper for me."

After a while, a "devil" carrying the rank of a second-class soldier rushed into the Baomi field in a daze, and was also captured by Feng Xiang and them.

Almost at the same time, the telegraph soldiers of Sirius Squadron also rushed over.

"Captain, this is a secret order just issued by the headquarters." The telegraph soldier said, "Our reconnaissance mission is terminated. We will immediately go to the location of the headquarters and assume the responsibility of protecting the headquarters."

Feng Xianghe said with a serious expression, "Understood."

……

Crouching Tiger Mountain Base, Crouching Tiger Town.

The seven main battalions of the independent regiment plus several regiments directly under the regiment are temporarily stationed here.

At this time, the independent regiment had a great career. In addition to tens of thousands of combatants, there were also thousands of mules and horses, so the pressure on logistical support could be said to be enormous.

In the Fuliangshan base area, because most of the battalions and directly subordinate teams were stationed separately, the pressure on logistics support was not so great, but now tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of mules and horses in the whole regiment are gathered together. The pressure of security was immediately apparent. After only two days of stationing, the town's horse feed had been exhausted.

There was no way, Fan Guangou, the cavalry company commander, could only go to a nearby village to buy fodder.

After buying fodder, I happened to meet Zhang Dabiao and the battalion commanders who were chatting together.

Seeing Fan Guangou, Sun Desheng immediately beckoned, "Come here, dog, come and smoke a cigarette."

Fan Guangou asked the guards to lead the cavalry back first, while he came to Sun Desheng bumpily.

Sun Desheng immediately gave Fan Guangou a cigarette, and Fan Guangou quickly lit the cigarette with a match.

Although Fan Guan is only 19 years old, he has been a three-year old smoker, so don't smoke too awkwardly.
