The lieutenant general who came from Chongqing suddenly reminded: "There is a problem!"

"It's almost dawn, and the Eighth Route Army of the two strengthening regiments are still trapped outside Taiyuan City by the Japanese~"

"Taiyuan City is too important to the Japanese, and they will definitely keep it at all costs. Without Taiyuan Airport, they will also dispatch planes from further airports to reinforce Taiyuan!"

"Because of the long distance, those planes will not stay on the battlefield for too long, but they can still cause a big blow to your army!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the troops of these two strengthening regiments will definitely be the first target of the Japanese aviation army!"

"After dawn, with the reinforcements of the air force, we will first destroy these two regiments!"

"I suggest that your Eighth Route Army headquarters immediately telegram the siege troops and order these two regiments to find a way to break through and retreat, otherwise these two regiments will definitely be finished!"

The commander-in-chief replied with a serious look on his face: "No, we believe in the command capabilities of the siege command. For the front-line troops' operations, the headquarters is only responsible for determining the combat targets. How to command is the front-line commander's business, and we will not interfere!"

Chief Yan, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"It is a good thing not to affect the front line command and combat. But you can't watch the two strengthening regiments kill 4,000 soldiers were killed by the Japanese! I suggest you go over a telegram. It's a pity that the four,000 soldiers were killed like this~"

Chief Yan’s idea is very simple. Since it is impossible to stop the Eighth Route Army from taking over Taiyuan City, it would be better to cause greater losses to the Eighth Route Army and embarrass the Headquarters.

Everyone next to the sand table understood the meaning of Chief Yan’s words and stared at the commander-in-chief and wanted to see a joke.

See if the commander-in-chief really does not interfere with front-line commands according to regulations, and believe in front-line commanders. Or should they pay more attention to the lives of thousands of soldiers. For the sake of thousands of soldiers, even if they violate discipline, they still need telegrams!

They were disappointed, and the confident smile on the commander-in-chief's face did not change as before.

Pointing to the sand table, he explained: "Everyone, do you know what preparations these two strengthening groups have been made when they are out?"

"Tell you that it is the preparation for the destruction of the entire army!"

"Before they left, they knew they were very likely to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield!"

"But they still went, and after they went, they had no intention of retreating, unless they took down Taiyuan City and entered Taiyuan City!"

"I know some of you really want to say that this is just to use the soldiers of two regiments to die. Then I will tell you now, whether our Eighth Route Army can take down Taiyuan City, these two regiments have played a crucial role!"

"Staff Officer Wang, please inform the generals about how many Japanese devils have been killed by these two strengthening regiments, and then inform how many Japanese devils are left in Taiyuan City!"

“Yes, long!”

"All the generals, according to the latest enemy situation report from the front enemy siege command, although the two regiments suffered heavy losses under the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army, they also killed more than 2,000 Japanese devils!"

"The two regiments are catching the last few hours before dawn to dig air defense trenches on the defending positions to alleviate the casualties that the Japanese aviation forces must have caused to the troops after dawn!"

"According to their estimates, after dawn, the Japanese army will definitely attack them desperately under the cover of the plane!"

"As long as they persist until dark, they will definitely be able to annihilate a large number of Japanese devils, even if the entire army is destroyed, they will do whatever they want!"

Many generals at the command center were shocked by the words of Staff Wang.

In their army, few troops would do this even though they knew they would die.

A unit of troops is no longer afraid of death, which shows how powerful the combat effectiveness of this unit is.

The Lieutenant General was also shocked and took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Why is this doing? What is the reason for the four thousand soldiers to fight to the death, even if the entire army is destroyed!"

"Supervisor Wang, please continue!" The commander-in-chief ordered without explanation.

"Our intelligence personnel lurking in Taiyuan City reported that in order to kill our two strengthening regiments, the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan City garrison drew nearly 5,000 people from the city to attack them!"

"At present, the Japanese army in the entire Taiyuan City has been almost completely drawn!"

"On the city wall, there is only one regiment of puppet troops and a squadron of Japanese guards left. There is only half of the military police brigade, half a guard brigade, and a puppet army brigade, with a total force of less than two thousand!"

"The five thousand elite troops drawn by the Japanese army from Taiyuan City have lost more than two thousand people."

"If more than 2,000 people are killed by two strengthening groups, Taiyuan City will become an empty city!"

"As long as our troops clear the Japanese and puppet troops outside Taiyuan City, it will be easy to capture Taiyuan City!"

The commander-in-chief suddenly interrupted and said, "Think about it, without the sacrifice of these two strengthening regiments, the 5,000 Japanese army will still be defending Taiyuan City. With the strong urban defense fortifications of Taiyuan City, how long and how much price we will pay to win Taiyuan City!"

"I believe Chief Yan knows this best. After all, the solid urban defense fortifications in Taiyuan City were built by your Jinsui Army back then. After the Japanese army took over, they only strengthened and supplemented a little!"

Chief Yan's dream was shattered again, and hesitated for a moment of answering.

"So that's the case, then the sacrifice of these 4,000 people is too cost-effective!"

"If it weren't for their sacrifice, the 5,000 Japanese troops would defend the Taiyuan City Defense Fortifications, even if your Eighth Route Army lost 10,000 people, they might not be able to break through the Taiyuan City Defense!"

No one in the command center expected that these 4,000 people would have such a big use.

Many generals and schools gathered together to discuss and deduce, thinking whether they could do this if the siege troops were replaced by their own troops.

What disappointed them was that once the siege troops were replaced with their troops, this tactic would not be implemented.

If the two strengthening regiments want to consume a large amount of Japanese troops under the enemy's heavy siege, they must be elite troops and well-equipped.

Such troops are held in their hands like treasures in every commander, afraid of accidents, so how could they risk the entire army being destroyed as bait?

Without a unit that is not afraid of death and has strong combat effectiveness as bait, the entire combat plan cannot be implemented!

After thinking about it, they only had one way to take over Taiyuan City, and attack!

At the Taiyuan City Sunset Command, the Lieutenant General's face was very serious.

It took less than two hours to lose contact with Taiyuan Airport when it was attacked and to lose contact with Taiyuan Airport.

In such a short time, nearly two thousand imperial troops at Taiyuan Airport were gone.

Although nearly half of the Imperial Army are technical troops with little combat effectiveness, no matter what, they are all Japanese and trained by new recruits.

"Sir, you have found out that there are more than 20,000 people from the Eighth Route Army outside the city, and there are nearly 5,000 people in each direction. They are well-equipped and have strong combat power. More importantly, their offensive firepower is very strong!" The Chief of Staff suddenly broke in and reported with a panic look on his face.
