Everyone thought carefully for a moment, and finally agreed with Wang Chengzhu's analysis.

Wang Chengzhu continued: "Of course, even if Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't give the order for Hattori Naomi to break out, we can still eat up all the Japanese and puppet troops garrisoning in Jinzhong County, and by the way, we can also eliminate a few more slaves.

The Japanese reinforcements came from the direction of Taiyuan.

The only difference is that it takes a little more effort.”

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed the subject and continued: "Okay, since all of you have no objections to my battle plan, let me tell you the specific arrangements."

With that said, Wang Chengzhu continued to point to the map: "Although it is less than 40 kilometers from Taiyuan to Jinzhong, there are three roads."

"Among them, the center is the closest, followed by the left and right."

"Under normal circumstances, the Japs will definitely choose the nearest center.

However, once they are blocked on this road, they will definitely take other roads or even take small roads.

It is also possible that they will split into three groups as soon as they leave Taiyuan City."

"So, we must separate at least three regiments to block enemy reinforcements."

"It must be noted that the mission of these three regiments is not just to block enemy reinforcements, but to eliminate as many of the Japanese's effective forces as possible."

"Then these three regiments must be the three regiments with the strongest combat effectiveness among our regiments, except for my independent second regiment."

Speaking of this, Wang Chengzhu looked at Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Cheng Xiazi in turn: "Captain, brother Ding Wei, brother Cheng, your new regiment, the independent regiment and the 772nd regiment are equipped with equipment other than my independent second regiment.

The three regiments are the most sophisticated and have the largest number of troops. Needless to say, they have great combat capabilities."

"So, the task of blocking enemy reinforcements is left to the three of you."

Since everyone elected Wang Chengzhu as the temporary commander for this battle, they would naturally obey his orders, so they said: "Whatever we need to do, Zhuzi (brother Zhuzi), you just say it."

"Look at the map." Wang Chengzhu pointed at the map: "On the three roads from Taiyuan to Jinzhong County, there are several places suitable for ambushes."

"The Japs in Taiyuan must be the most lax when they first leave the city. As they get closer to Jinzhong, their vigilance will gradually increase."

"So, the blocking position we want to choose should be as close to Taiyuan as possible, but of course it cannot be too close."

"Fenghuang Ridge, which is about 13 kilometers away from Taiyuan City in the middle, Ma'erling, which is about 15 kilometers away from Taiyuan City on the left, and Jinwu Mountain, which is about 15 kilometers away from Taiyuan City on the right, all have difficult terrains and are more suitable for hunting.

Ambush location."

"Moreover, these locations are not too far from Taiyuan City, and are still a relatively long distance from Jinzhong County.

In addition, compared to some other places, the terrain is not the most dangerous, so the Japanese reinforcements will not be too vigilant in these places, and our first wave of attacks will definitely cause the maximum losses to the Japanese reinforcements."

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed the subject and looked at Li Yunlong and the other three: "Captain, your new regiment is responsible for blocking the enemy in the middle; brother Ding Wei, your independent regiment is responsible for blocking the enemy on the left; Mr. Cheng.

Brother, your 772nd Regiment is responsible for blocking the enemy on the right."

"As for what needs to be done, you are all experts in fighting. You have even killed more Japanese than I have eaten, so I shouldn't need to tell you."

Li Yunlong and the three of them all nodded heavily. When it comes to fighting tough battles, the Eighth Route Army is really not very good at it due to the lack of heavy firepower weapons.

However, the Eighth Route Army was an expert among experts at blocking enemy reinforcements.

It's nothing more than finding a suitable position, laying mines to block the road, setting up machine guns to fire, and throwing grenades to give the enemy a final fatal blow. They have done it more than once and are all experienced.

Wang Chengzhu looked at Kong Jie, Xu Shengji, and Chen Lian again and said, "Brothers, we will have to rely on you to attack Jinzhong County."

"Now let me talk about the specific combat arrangements. Brother Kong Jie, your new second regiment is responsible for the attack on the west gate, Brother Xu, your 771st regiment is responsible for the attack on the north gate, and brother Chen Lian, your 769th regiment is responsible for the attack on the east gate.

As for the attack on the south gate, Lao Sun's 4th Mixed Brigade will be responsible."

The three of them nodded at first, and then Kong Jie asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhuzi, where will your independent second regiment fight?"

Wang Chengzhu: "My Second Independent Regiment attacked the entrance and exit of the Zhengtai Railway."

After hearing this, Kong Jie became even more confused: "Brother Zhuzi, the so-called besieging the enemy is to attack the enemy on three sides and then release a weak position for the enemy to break through.

But if you put the most powerful independent second regiment at the entrance and exit of the Zhengtai Railway, wouldn't this drive the devils in the city in other directions?"

Wang Chengzhu smiled slightly: "Brother Kong Jie, you should know that Naomi Hattori was captured alive once by our Eighth Route Army when he was at the Huting stronghold, and he was almost captured alive last time in Zhaojia'ao. Although he escaped by chance, he must be alive.

It left quite a psychological shadow.”

"Now that we are attacking Jinzhong County, this old devil will definitely learn from the previous lessons and use the most powerful railway entrance and exit to break out."

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed his voice and continued: "Of course, even if this old devil does not break out according to the route I planned, and changes to another city gate, I will order the armored train to provide you with fire reinforcements immediately.

"

"At the same time, the other units accelerated their attacks one after another, and then cooperated with each other inside and outside to attack from both front and back. Naoomi Hattori and his 9th Infantry Brigade were also unable to escape death!"

"clever!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Immediately, everyone held detailed discussions on the specific details.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the meeting ended and everyone left the headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment and went back to make preparations.

Nothing happened in the afternoon.

It was after 6 o'clock, and the sky gradually became dark.

The order from the Division Headquarters and Brigade Headquarters to Wang Chengzhu and the others was that yesterday's combat objectives had been completed and that they should cooperate with the remaining main force groups to continue attacking other large strongholds along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway.

Try to win a few more tonight and continue to expand the results.

For this reason, although Wang Chengzhu and others promised to do so, they actually planned to disobey orders on the battlefield and attack Jinzhong County instead.

And since the Eighth Route Army's attack time is still set at 12 midnight, the division headquarters and brigade headquarters are not allowed to leave for the time being regarding their actions.

As soon as the sky darkened, all departments immediately took action.

The railway troops of the 4th Mixed Brigade had already inspected the damaged railway tracks in advance and then acted quickly to repair the railways.

The Second Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment and other units quickly moved towards Jinzhong County under the cover of night.
