Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and replied: "Old Cheng, let me tell you the truth. The idea of ​​fighting Taiyuan was the first to come up with me!"

"I didn't expect that the boss became interested at that time. After researching, he reported to Yan'an. In the end, Yan'an agreed and involved you, Lao Cheng!"

Cheng Xiao suddenly realized his mind and replied: "I just said who is so brave and even dared to fight Taiyuan City. It turns out that it is really you!"

"If it were you, I wouldn't worry!"

"If you don't have 70% or 80% sure, you will never come up with the idea of ​​fighting Taiyuan!"

"Old leader, how to fight, please give orders!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "No hurry... You can tell me about the current situation of the independent division, the more detailed the better!"

Cheng Xiao did not hesitate and blurted out directly: "The Independent Division is now under the jurisdiction of two main brigades and an independent regiment, plus the artillery battalion, guard battalion, direct team and other troops directly under the division headquarters, with a total strength of nearly 13,000 people!"

"The Independent Regiment has the strongest combat power, and is a strengthening regiment with a total strength of 2,000 people. It is basically composed of veterans who have been injured on the battlefield, accounting for 50%, and is the fist force of the Independent Division!"

"The two main brigades are under their jurisdiction, one mountain artillery company, one medium-sized mortar company, and one guard company... with a total force of 4,500 people!"

"The infantry regiment has three main battalions, one mortar company, one infantry artillery platoon, and one guard company, with a total force of about 1,300 people!"

"The infantry platoon is equipped with a light machine gun, the infantry company is equipped with two small cannons, that is, the grenade launcher equipped by the Japanese, and the infantry battalion strengthens three heavy machine guns..."

"The brigade mountain artillery company is equipped with six mountain artillery, and the medium-sized mortar company is equipped with nine mortars. They are all made by our arsenal themselves!"

"The division's artillery battalion is equipped with 12 field cannons and the 6 large-caliber mountain cannons you snatched from the Japanese!"

The situation of the independent division reported by the headquarters is still different from the situation stated by the division commander Cheng Xiao, and it is obviously more realistic.

As soon as Cheng Xiao finished speaking, Wang Ping smiled.

Based on the current strength of the Independent Division, coupled with the direct brigade of the Military Region and the New First Regiment, Wang Ping has greater confidence in taking over Taiyuan City.

"Old Cheng, the headquarters' idea is that Taiyuan must be caught off guard and catch the Japanese army in Taiyuan City off guard!"

"In order to achieve this goal, the headquarters will launch two local counterattacks on other bases to attract the attention of the Japanese army in North China! Then we will take advantage of the opportunity to attack and take down Taiyuan City in the shortest time!"

"Taiyuan City is large, and the city defense fortifications are very strong and there are huge numbers."

"By taking one by one, it will take several days to capture the fortifications outside Taiyuan City. Moreover, the Japanese and planes have their own losses, so our casualties will definitely be very large!"

"So I decided to walk together a few steps and try to minimize the casualties and time of attacking Taiyuan!"

"Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win a hundred battles. My first step is to figure out Taiyuan City. The headquarters has reported too little information to us. I decided to let the special operations brigade you brought, the new first regiment directly under the team, and the special operations squadron brought by the headquarter, enter Taiyuan City in batches, investigate the situation, and then lurk in Taiyuan City!"

"The total strength of the three troops is over 500, and they are all elite. I will give them a month to clarify all the city defense fortifications and troop deployments of the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan!"

No one expected that the Eighth Route Army would attack Taiyuan City.

Although this is the location of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, the entire Taiyuan City is not as strict as imagined.

Of course, this is also thanks to the large number of Japanese people in Taiyuan City.

Although they are all businessmen who come to China to do business, they actually have a certain military background.

On the surface, they do business, secretly plunder the wealth of the Chinese people through various means, and then send this wealth back to the country, creating more guns and ammunition to continue to invade China.

What these Japanese businessmen and chaebols want to see the last reason is that they are too cautious for the frontline war!

In this way, they will lose a lot of opportunities to make money every day.

In order not to offend these businessmen with deep backgrounds in China, unless there is a very urgent situation, the gates of Taiyuan City will always be opened, and caravans and caravans will enter and exit Taiyuan City every day...

The special forces members with more than 500 people easily sneaked into Taiyuan City.

"Captain, all the fortifications outside Taiyuan City are on high alert. We have no way to get close. We can only observe from a distance with a telescope!" A squadron leader looked at Li Wen and reported embarrassedly.

"This is definitely not possible!" Li Wen frowned and retorted.

"What the regiment commander wants is not only the fire points and the location of the bunkers, but also the specific forces and firepower of those fire points, and whether there are hidden fire points!"

"These things are invisible from long distance observation!"

Another squadron leader frowned and replied, "This is too difficult!"

"Unless you go directly into the fire point and the bunker, it is impossible to make it so clear!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across the faces of several people. Although they were carefully selected elite Eighth Route Army, they could complete many tasks that other Eighth Route Army could not complete. But they were not gods. They would never be able to enter the heavily guarded bunkers and firepower points under the eyes of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Just then, Li Wen spoke!

"There is another way!"

"The Japanese and puppet army command must have a Taiyuan city defense layout map!"

"The Japanese and puppet army commanders must know how many troops and firepower points there are in each telegram. Otherwise, after the battle, they will have no way to command the battle!"

A squadron leader lit up and replied: "Yes... we can steal the city defense map!"

Another squadron leader poured a bucket of cold water and said, "The Japanese and puppet army command is more vigilant than those bunkers. How can I get in!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops are not fools. If the city defense map is lost, they will definitely adjust the deployment. At that time, the map we stole after spending a lot of effort will turn into a piece of waste paper!"

"If there is a way to enter the Japanese and puppet army command center quietly and copy the city defense map!" the last squadron leader suggested.

"Impossible!" the two squadron captains denied in unison.

Li Wen suddenly said, "It's not impossible?"

"The Japanese command center is very vigilant and we can't get in. But we definitely have a way to get in the command center of the puppet army!"

"Isn't there a brigade of puppet troops in the city? Let's go to their brigade headquarters. Their brigade headquarters must have a city defense map!"

"However, such an important document as a city defense map is definitely not something that ordinary people can access. Even if you enter their brigade headquarters, you will be fooled by the fact that you don't find the right person!"

"In this way, we go directly to find their brigade commander!"

"I'll give you two days to find out the situation of the brigade commander of the puppet military police brigade in Taiyuan City. The more detailed the better!"
