The sun slowly sank towards the west, and the last trace of blood-colored remnants in the sky was swallowed up by the darkness little by little.The heavens and the earth were shrouded in endless darkness, there was not even a single star in the sky, and the earth seemed to be covered in black.In Taiyuan, the defense of the Japanese army has been raised to the highest level of alert.As soon as it was dark, countless torches were lit on the top of the city, and searchlights were shooting back and forth into the surrounding darkness.The trenches under the city were crowded with devils who were waiting for them, and they all received the news of the imminent arrival of the People's Liberation Army, and everyone clenched their weapons at this time, waiting in horror for that moment to come.The night breeze gently blew through the city, which was a mixture of fear and the smell of gunpowder, bringing more fear with it.Whether it is an ordinary soldier or a senior general, every devil is extremely worried in his heart, hoping that the People's Liberation Army will never come, and the battle that will determine the victory or defeat of both sides will never start.Time passed minute by minute, and with this tense atmosphere maintained, the time entered the middle of the night.The devils in Taiyuan City were still staring at the depths of the darkness, as if they were afraid that a fierce beast would rush out at any time that they could not resist.At twelve o'clock in the evening, a plain five kilometers away from Taiyuan City.It was already full of soldiers, and in the darkness they were silent and terrifying, and a powerful murderous aura swirled in the middle of their ranks.The eyes of each soldier were terrifying, as if they could shoot a deadly sword from their eyes, cutting through the air and every remaining soul in it.Gao Dong stood in the middle of the team, holding a telescope and looking at Taiyuan in the distance.In fact, he has been here for almost three hours, but he has not launched an attack.Li Haolin came three times in a row, but he was blocked by Gao Dong.He gave a strict order that no unit should attack without his approval."
Chief of Staff, it's past twelve o'clock.Taiyuan's devil defense is still very tight, we can't get any benefit, whether to fight or not," Huang Youde stood beside Gao Dong and said softly.Gao Dong put down the binoculars and looked mockingly at the brightly lit Taiyuan City in the distance: "Shimada Qingxiu, the commander, is too incompetent, such a dark day has turned Taiyuan City into a light bulb, this is for fear that we will not be able to detect the specific situation of their defense, this idiot, all his defense belts have been exposed to us" Gao Dong turned his head with a smile and said to Huang Youde: "Don't worry, I've waited for so long, it's not too long to wait a while."
The reconnaissance team sent out should be coming back, waiting for their information.Anyway, Taiyuan can't run, and their reinforcements won't arrive for a while, so we still have a lot of time. ”"Listen to you, you are the commander-in-chief, we believe in you" Huang Youde smiled.More than ten minutes later, the troops who had gone to reconnoiter finally returned.Zhang Huilong walked quickly in front of Gao Dong, full of big men."
How's it going?"
asked Gao Dong with concern.Zhang Huilong immediately sent the reconnaissance information to Gaodong, covering a range of 20 kilometers around Taiyuan, and all the Japanese defense forces around this area were not left behind."
On the perimeter line, the tightest is probably the train station.There were almost two wings of devils stationed there, digging deep trenches, high barriers, and many machine-gun pillboxes and bunkers.And the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the devil wants to defend there" Zhang Huilong poured a mouthful of water and said with a smashing mouth."
There is also a small dragon mountain in the west of Taiyuan, ten kilometers away from Taiyuan.The mountains are not big, at most a series of hills.But it was the main passage of the highway built by the devils, and it was also the only way for other Japanese troops in Shanxi to support Taiyuan.They guarded there, obviously to protect the traffic arteries, so that the reinforcements could successfully arrive" Gao Dong listened to what Zhang Huilong said, and nodded slowly: "It seems that the focus of the devil's defense now is Taiyuan, the railway station and Xiaolongshan.Taiyuan was the most heavily defended, followed by the railway station and Xiaolongshan.The rest of the place was basically decoration, only for the purpose of delaying our march and killing some of our soldiers, and it did not do much. ”Huang Youde immediately said: "Then we only need to cut these three places, and the devil will immediately have nothing to do" He pointed to the map that had just been rolled out and said: "These three places seem to be quite far apart, but they are actually a triangle shape."
The devils can support each other at any time on this line, and if they can be cut and encircled, the three places will immediately become isolated individuals.With our strength, there is no problem with each break. ”The officers gathered around looked at the map, and sure enough, as Huang Youde said, the three places were connected into a triangle.There is a highway that connects the three places, and with the motorized capabilities of the Japanese, it is not difficult to send soldiers to any of these three places at any time."
But our troops may not be enough to surround three places at the same time," Lin Fan frowned and said: "Take Taiyuan as an example, even if it is the entire main force of the Second Army plus the reinforced division of Division Commander Fang, it is impossible to encircle Taiyuan completely.Not to mention that there are two other places, if we fight with the devils in Taiyuan halfway, and the devils in those two places sneak attack from the flanks, then our danger will be great. ”Fang Kui nodded: "Brother Lin is right, there are almost 40,000 devils in Taiyuan City, and it is almost impossible to surround them and prevent them from escaping."
The strength of the devils is still relatively strong, if they really want to break through, we can't help it.Hey, we still have too few troops this time" Everyone said a word, and each expressed their attitude towards this battle.What everyone said made sense, but it didn't really solve the following operations.Gao Dong looked at the people around him, and finally his eyes fell on Huang Youde.This rising star can become a military commander, not only because he is brave in battle, but his mind is no worse than Hu Xinghan, and he is a general."
Commander Huang, tell me your suggestions.How should we divide our troops so that we can take care of these three places," Gao Dong asked with a smile.Huang Youde touched his chin, his eyes rolling back and forth on the map.The crowd around them all quieted down, and they all looked at Huang Youde, waiting for his advice."
If we besiege Taiyuan with all our troops, is this the best way" Huang Youde raised his head and stared at Gao Dong's eyes tightly."
I said, Lao Huang, you didn't hear us talking about it just now, if we are desperate to surround Taiyuan, the side and rear will be easily attacked by the other two enemy reinforcements.Even if they don't attack, those two places can receive devil reinforcements from all over Shanxi at any time, and we will still suffer from the enemy," Tang Wei hurriedly reminded."
Yes, it's not enough to surround Taiyuan, you must also take the railway station and Xiaolongshan.These two places are important passages into Taiyuan, and the devil's reinforcements and heavy weapons will arrive from these two places.If we don't take these two places, our next battle will not be very easy," Fang Kui nodded in agreement and said."
What if it's a siege to send reinforcements" Huang Youde didn't look at others, his eyes were still staring directly at Gao Dong.There was a light of wisdom in those eyes, and there was even more composure of the general."
That's what I've been waiting for."
Gao Dong suddenly laughed: "It's to encircle the point to send reinforcements, surround Taiyuan, set up an ambush halfway, and wait for the devils to drill their own traps" The people around were stunned for a moment, but after a while, they understood what kind of dumb riddle Huang Youde and Gao Dong were playing.Encircling points to send reinforcements is a common means used by the PLA.However, it is generally used when the strength of the enemy is several times that of the enemy, and the main thing is to concentrate the most superior forces to surround the enemy's main force.Then send a part of the force to occupy the key roads along the path that the enemy must take to reinforce and prevent the enemy from coming.But now Gaodong's strength is about the same as the total strength of Taiyuan City and the nearby defenders, and it is already very difficult to surround them, let alone ambush them and ambush them.It is precisely because of this most important reason that no one has thought of it before, and they have imagined it in other aspects."
Not only do we have to surround the point to send reinforcements, but we also have to take advantage of the weakness" The brilliance in Huang Youde's eyes became brighter and brighter: "When the devils increase their troops from the railway station and Xiaolongshan to Taiyuan, we will immediately send strange soldiers to seize the railway station and Xiaolongshan, so that the devils can steal chickens and rice, and they don't even have a chance to cry" "Hahahaha, Huang Youde, Huang Youde, if you are not a general, you are really ashamed of your brain" Gao Dong laughed and stood up: "I guess you also thought of it, How to make the devils in Taiyuan mistakenly think that we have gathered all our forces to fight them" Huang Youde stood up with a smile and looked at all the people around him: "We have self-propelled artillery troops and tank troops, presumably the little devils can't tell the difference between these two troops."
They can fire artillery anyway, and they are all armored vehicles, and sometimes even our people can't tell the difference.Let's make a fool of ourselves and let the self-propelled artillery troops attack Taiyuan City, let all our supporting artillery cover the attack at the same time, and at the same time the main force of our Second Army will attack Taiyuan City at the same time, creating the illusion that we are vowing to take it, and I believe that the devils will definitely be fooled" "Then the task of blocking will be handed over to the reinforced division of Division Commander Fang, responsible for intercepting the enemy's reinforcements at two key roads.After the enemy sent reinforcements, the tank unit and one of our elite detachments quickly took the enemy-occupied railway station and cut off their transportation lines.The cavalry troops attacked Xiaolong Mountain and took it there with the power of thunder""In this way, Taiyuan has completely become a lonely city.And the two main roads to reinforce Taiyuan have been blocked by us, it is difficult for the devils outside to get in, and it is even more difficult for the devils in Taiyuan to escape" Huang Youde looked at Gao Dong seriously: "Chief of Staff, this is my plan, is it feasible" "It's not just feasible, it's just a trick" Gao Dong laughed and looked at everyone around him: "Immediately dispatch troops according to Commander Huang's order, and prepare to attack immediately" aa2705221:
