As for the Deputy Chief of General Staff and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, they did not speak. They were all waiting for Kong Jie’s opinion!

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Why do you keep staring at Taiyuan? Do you still remember the place where our Taihang Mountain Rapid Response Force first became famous?"

Ding Wei came up, held the baton and said: "Everyone, look at this place, Datong. After more than a year of Japanese operation, a large number of companies have settled here. There are no mountain fortifications in the west or east of the city, and there is no continuous mobile force.

We also divided our troops to support Taiyuan. If we don’t attack him, who will we attack?”

At this time, Kong Jie smiled and asked: "How to fight?"

Captain Song blurted out: "Of course we are trying to find the opponent's weak points and attack them."

Li Yunlong said: "Is it possible to attract people from the front and sap them from behind?"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Yes or no, look at the map, our old rival Okabe has completely fallen behind in understanding us, so I'm not polite.

The first to attack is Taiyuan; then to attack Datong is blindfold; to attack Baoding and Zhangjiakou is to hold down the arms; then to attack northern Henan, western Shandong, and southern Shandong is to hold down the feet; then to attack northern Shandong, central Shandong, and eastern Shandong is to hold down the waist;

In the end, Jidong is the Japanese’s heart.

You said that if you hold down everything that the Japanese can move, can he still resist?"

After saying that, Kong Jie greeted with a smile: "Comrades, Lao Li doesn't believe in evil, why don't we hold down all his parts and see if he can still move!"

When the generals heard this, they immediately took action. What was originally a good meeting turned into a hands-on meeting, and Li Yunlong was held down in a hurry.

Poor Li Yunlong was so stunned that he couldn't even struggle.

Captain Wang was suddenly enlightened after hearing Kong Jie's words.

"That's right! Our Eighth Route Army is basically based in mountainous areas and vast rural areas. We currently don't have the strength to fully confront the Japs, so why do we need big cities?

If we move all the companies, warehouses, and mines outside the big cities for him, wouldn’t that achieve the strategic goal?

Why take such a big risk to fight a large-scale offensive against the Japanese?

If the Japs guard the big cities, let them continue to do so. If we really capture the big cities, maybe not only the Japs will be unable to sleep, but some people in the country will also be unable to sleep.

It’s better to attack half of them, attract all the Japanese, get the benefits and leave.”

There are some things that Captain Wang didn't say. Half the battle can tell the Allies that the Eighth Route Army is not strong enough. If they get more assistance, they will be able to defeat it next time.

If such a small amount of aid can achieve such great results, it is estimated that applying for aid in the future will not be so easy.

After all, you already have that strength, who would be willing to help you?

Everyone continued to discuss the plan and thought it was a good idea.

After being punished, Li Yunlong became honest and scolded helplessly: "Old Kong, what kind of damaging tricks are you doing? I thought my methods were despicable enough, but you are more outrageous than me?"

The political commissar said: "Whether it's a plot or a conspiracy, it's a good strategy to defeat the little devil!

Kong Jie, I recently discovered that you are in close contact with the Division Intelligence Section and the Headquarters Intelligence Section to collect intelligence on Taiyuan. Can you tell me about the situation of the Japanese? Do you have any new plans?"

Kong Jie replied: "There is no big plan, only small actions that are not on the table. The devils in Taiyuan City are originally very well-defended, and we have never carried out large-scale damage to the city.

Now that the Japanese have changed their commander, they are engaging in goodwill activities, canceling many martial law measures, and I heard that Okabe even went to Taiyuan.

Lao Ding, Lao Xu and I thought that not having a welcome ceremony would be disrespectful to the little devil.

It happened that the Japanese were preparing to clear out the gold bars, silver coins, antiques and other items collected over the past six months. We received a tip that this batch of materials was originally supposed to be transported in June, but Lao Zhang destroyed the Japanese airport by attacking Taiyuan City.

, later our air force came out for activities again, but the Japanese never dared to transport us.

Now that Okabe has come to Taiyuan, Yansong, in order to show his merit, specially added a batch of finances to accompany them to Peiping.

It was on August 25th that we passed through the Chengbei Airport, escorted by 6 transport planes and 6 Zero fighter jets. We were thinking about how to trick the devils on the way and bring back the property with the plane, which was originally ours.

!"

Lao Xu said: "That's right, why should we give it to the little devils who take our things? They deserve it too?

Not only did we have to get back our own things, but we also had to send some gifts to the Japanese. Not only did we have to take away the transport planes, fighter jets, and even his special plane at the Chengbei Airport, we also had to take away the power boilers and power plants of the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant.

All the steam turbines were blown up by him."

Ding Weidao: "Yes, after the old Japanese Okabe took office, the arsenal in Taiyuan has been introducing equipment and working hard to increase production capacity.

We blew up the power boilers and steel-making furnaces of the Zheng Steel Plant. The Japs will not be able to recover in a short time. The steam turbines in the power plant are even more scarce. The Japs will be heartbroken to death.

These places are not heavily guarded. If you don't seize such a good opportunity, you will be struck by lightning.

In addition, I heard that the Japanese have built a new Nakajima aircraft manufacturing plant in the city. It can not only produce Type 1 fighter jets, but also perform maintenance. It is not far from the outer city. This is our goal of moving."

Kong Jie said: "By the way, Lao Li, how about letting you show off again this time? Write a letter of thanks to Okabe, and by the way, return the command knife of the commander of the Thirteenth Army in your collection, and say that you picked it up.

of."

Li Yunlong wondered: "Why should I write a thank you letter?

Although our Lao Li is different now, he is also a great scholar, but no matter what happens, it is not my turn, right?

Besides, this command sword is my treasure. Why should I give it back even if the old brigade commander calls me to blackmail me?"

The old brigade commander looked up: "What did you say?"

Li Yunlong came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I said it wrong, I said it wrong, I meant that I didn't even borrow the old brigade commander's phone when he called me to guide the work! Hehe!"

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Don't worry, that old devil Okabe is not a stingy person.

He won't ask for your sword. Maybe he will have to prepare some gifts, and then go to our army's position outside the high ground in the west of the city, and your sword will be delivered intact.

Little devil, if he accepts your knife, what will happen if word spreads about it?

A dignified commander of the Thirteenth Army lost his command knife and was picked up by the Eighth Route Army and sent back. No matter how shameless a person is, he cannot afford to lose this face."

Li Yunlong said: "Why should I write a thank-you letter and send it to you?"

Kong Jile said: "Who in the entire Eighth Route Army doesn't know that you, Lao Li, like to do this kind of harming things the most?

This is to tell Okabe and Yansong that you, Li Yunlong, are eyeing Taiyuan City, which is just outside Taiyuan City, and you have to invite the visiting Japanese officers to drink on our military positions, talk and laugh, and give advice!"

A group of people laughed after hearing this.

[Ding, you successfully hit Li Yunlong, and your charm value is increased by one.]

Looking at the long-lost bonus points and his nearly perfect charm score, Kong Jie smiled even brighter.

Li Yunlong quit on the spot, "I said, Lao Kong, what do you mean by this? Why do you mean I like to do such hurtful things?

This is called those who achieve great things by not sticking to trivial matters!

All heroes and heroes, please watch out. If you don’t want to make steamed buns to fight for your reputation, when the meeting is over, I will challenge Lao Kong to a duel, and everyone will be a witness!"

Davis was an honest man and asked doubtfully: "Isn't Li going to duel with his old brigade commander? Why is he going to duel with Kong again?"

Ding Wei smiled and explained: "You don't know this, Lao Li is a big-tailed wolf, and he will bar his teeth at whoever he catches!"

"Damn it, Ding Big Nose, who are you talking about? I'll count you in the one-on-one challenge later, and then I'll replace you after I kill Lao Kong. We, Lao Li, are not vain at all!" Li Yunlong cursed

.

Ding Wei, who was fearless, immediately replied: "Haha, Lao Li, if you say that, then I'm not afraid of bullying you!"

Looking at these living treasures, the deputy commander said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's continue to discuss and improve the plan. Now let's discuss how to carry out ground and air cooperation.

After we have discussed the matter, I will be the host tonight and treat everyone to a roasted whole lamb."

Only then did Li Yunlong and Ding Wei give up.

Then everyone worked together to perfect the autumn counterattack plan, discussed the details, and finally contacted the top person in charge of the relevant base area by secret phone to prepare relevant matters.

Then the commander-in-chief asked, what assistance does the Yan'an headquarters need to provide?

The deputy commander said: "Everyone can just go to Luliang Mountain one after another to hold a mobilization meeting. When the Japanese have almost prepared supplies in Liao County, we will go and fight them down, and then we can bring something to Taiyuan City."

In other words, the headquarters is waiting for good news!

In the final meeting, it was decided to do something in Taiyuan to attract the attention of the Japs into the city. They would place propaganda bombs, fake planes, and fake bombs everywhere to make the city full of trouble

Grab the plane to transport financial statements on August 25th.

On the Ghost Festival on the 26th, the west attacked the high ground west of the city. The east troops surrounded the 4th mixed brigade of Yangquan and attacked the east highlands of Taiyuan City. The troops in the Huangyadong area retreated from Licheng and defeated the Liao County defenders to the north.

Jinzhong attacked to contain some Japanese troops; at the same time, Li Yunlong's remaining troops captured Heshun County to protect the flanks.

The teacher said: "This autumn offensive is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves against the Japanese garrison in North China. The operation is called Autumn Wind Operation, and the secret code for the launch is Dafeng, Gale, Gale.

After receiving the news of the attack on Taiyuan City, all participating troops immediately made preparations. After all the strong wind signals were clearly issued before participating in the operation, they started to proceed according to the original plan. All commanding agencies changed their passwords, and all levels of headquarters were not allowed to communicate with each other.

The communication discloses any communication related to this operation.

If you need reinforcements or report special circumstances, use the backup communication code to contact you.

This time, all the troops must work closely together, unite as one, and attack the Japanese so hard that they will have nightmares when they hear our names.

During the operation, the numbers of each unit are not allowed to be disclosed, and all communication is by code name. You must discuss your own communication methods and passwords in advance, and do not use the same one.

In addition, this operation is a joint operation of all base areas and troops in North China. Propaganda work must be done well, the March 8th Discipline must be implemented, and the bad apples must be dealt with quickly and strictly! Everyone must conduct propaganda while fighting, and catch the most heinous traitors and spies.

Convene a public trial immediately so that the people can see the immediate results.

Of course, before the public trial, we must check whether they are our comrades who have penetrated into the enemy's ranks."

Three policies of the Eighth Route Army towards the Japanese.
