A small village five kilometers away from Datong City, with less than 20 villagers!

Because of poverty, the puppet army will not come over when they sweep by in peacetime!

But since last night, the village has suddenly become lively!

First of all, a company of the Eighth Route Army suddenly surrounded the village, and it was not allowed to enter or leave! Then a group of cavalry, under the cover of night, entered the village in a mighty way, occupied the ancestral hall of the village, and surrounded the ancestral hall tightly, not allowing any outsiders to approach!

In the ancestral hall that has been converted into a headquarters, two radio stations are set up next to them, and the signal lights are constantly flashing, emitting a crisp sound of receiving and receiving telegrams!

Several temporarily appointed operational staff officers, in and out, marked one latest battle situation after another on the map in front of Li Hao!

Hong Linfeng waited anxiously in front of the two radio stations!

When the garrison broke through from Lingqiu, there was only one radio left!

Two were seized in the coal mines, and three were captured by the devil reinforcements, so that the number of radio stations in the garrison regiment increased to six at once!

Although the power is not large, there is still no problem with communication in Datong!

Two radio stations remained at the regiment headquarters, and one radio station was sent to the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi Province to ensure smooth communication between the two troops. The remaining three radio stations are equipped with the troops who are on duty outside, and the guard companies and commandos who have already killed outside Datong City will be equipped with one!

Hong Linfeng stayed by the radio, waiting for their news!

"Chief of Staff, it's Captain Xiao of the commando team!" Communication platoon commander Zhou Liang put down the headset and reported excitedly!

"Give it to me!"

Hong Linfeng took the telegram and walked in front of Li Hao!

After glancing at the contents of the telegram, his face was filled with joy!

"Commander, good news!"

"The commando team and the guard company have successfully occupied the last blockade line arranged by the Japanese puppet army outside the city, killed an infantry squad of the devil, and captured a battalion of the puppet army!"

"And so far, they haven't fired a single shot!"

"Through the interrogation of the captured puppet army battalion commander, I learned that the devils only arranged puppet troops in the guard positions outside the city, and each position of the first line of defense was equipped with a little devil of the combat detachment, and the second line of defense was also the last line of defense next to the city wall, and a squad of devils was arranged in each position!"

"Excluding these Japanese puppet troops, there is only one guard corps, one mountain artillery squadron, and one gendarmerie corps left in Datong City, with a total strength of less than three hundred!"

"The rest are all puppet troops, and there is a regiment, with a company as a unit, stationed on the four walls of Datong City and important city fortifications!"

"Captain Xiao asks for instructions: they want to directly touch Datong City, please cooperate with the main force of the regiment!"

"The puppet army battalion commander they captured is willing to cooperate, and at least eighty percent of them are sure to occupy the east gate of Datong City without spending a single shot!"

Li Hao read the content of the telegram twice in a row before he spoke!

"God help me!"

"If we can quietly enter Datong City, then our chances of winning this siege battle can already be called 100%!"

"Chief of Staff, which unit is closest to the commando team and the guard company!"

"The Sixth Regiment of the Northwest Military Region of Shanxi Province is behind them, and it can catch up with them in half an hour with a rapid march, with a total strength of more than 1,200 people, almost all of whom are veterans! After replenishing some weapons and ammunition at the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army on the blockade line, the equipment is okay! ”

"Then there is Huang Sheng's three battalions, you can get there in an hour on a rapid march!"

Li Hao nodded and continued to ask: "Where are the rest of our troops and the remaining main regiments of the Northwest Shanxi Military Region participating in the battle, and what are they doing?" ”

Hong Linfeng pointed to the map and replied: "There are a total of seven main regiments in the Northwest Military Region of Shanxi Province participating in the battle!" ”

"Four last night, three later!"

"After the four main regiments broke through the blockade line and returned to the base area under the guise of absenteeism, they re-entered the devil-occupied area under the cover of night! Except for one regiment with battalions and companies as units to block the back road of the Japanese puppet army on the blockade line and prevent them from withdrawing to Datong! The other three main regiments were divided into two, and one main regiment was on alert in the south direction of Datong City, blocking the return reinforcements drawn by the Japanese army from the direction of the Jinsui Army at all costs! ”

"The remaining two regiments are lurking in the south and north of the city respectively, ready to attack the city at any time!"

"The three main regiments that arrived later were also divided into two, and one regiment followed behind the guard company and the assault team, that is, their main sixth regiment!"

"The remaining two regiments are taking battalions and companies as units to attack the remaining troops on the blockade line of the Japanese puppet army, cooperate with the interception troops, and strive to eliminate them on the retreat road!"

"Our first battalion is lurking in the west of the city, and the second battalion, the artillery company, and the newly established motor transport company are hiding nearby, as a reserve for the whole army, ready to join the battle at any time!"

Li Hao has slowly formed a huge battle battlefield in his mind, and the deployment of enemy and enemy forces is all in it!

After thinking for a minute, he began to give an order: "Send a telegram to the 6th Regiment of the Northwest Military Region of Shanxi Province, and immediately catch up with our commando team and guard company!" ”

"The third battalion also passed!"

"At six o'clock in the afternoon, the commando team and the guard company began to move, defrauding the east gate, and then covering the sixth regiment and the third battalion into the city!"

"After entering the city, the sixth regiment was divided into three, went straight to the other three city gates, occupied it in the shortest possible time, and then cooperated with the siege troops, and killed all the troops deployed by the Japanese puppet army outside the city with internal and external attacks!"

"The commando team, the guard company, and the three battalions are all under Xiao Yuan's command. After entering the city, the troops divided into routes and killed the devil garrison headquarters, arsenals, material warehouses, repair shops, ammunition factories, as well as important police stations, gendarmerie, prisons and other places! ”

"The troops lurking outside the city don't need orders, they start attacking Datong City when they hear the guns in Datong City!"

"Attack inside and outside, and wipe out all the Japanese puppet troops outside the city on the position!"

"In addition, contact the headquarters, please contact the headquarters of the Second War Zone, after the siege war starts, I hope that the front-line Jin Sui Army can also join the battle to cooperate!"

"There are still more than 2,000 Japanese troops confronting them, as long as they are delayed, we are absolutely ten percent sure of taking Datong City!"

"I suggest: The headquarters can promise the Second War Zone, and after taking Datong, you can conditionally hand over Datong City to the Jin Sui Army as a reward, or you can use the name of the war zone to announce that we will recapture Datong City from the devils, but the Jin Sui Army must give us some compensation for the Eighth Route Army!"

"Datong City, as an important military town, a major transportation route, and an important coal mining area, the Japanese army will definitely not give up and try every means to reoccupy it!"

"Instead of occupying a Datong City that will be taken away by the Japanese army sooner or later, it is better to use Datong City to befriend the Jin Sui Army and get some more direct benefits!"

With Li Hao's current capacity, making suggestions to the headquarters can definitely be called abrupt!

But after the telegram reached the hands of the two CEOs, they not only did not get angry, but attached great importance to it!

"Deputy Chief of Staff! What do you think of Comrade Li Hao's suggestion! The deputy commander-in-chief asked with a serious face!

"Very pertinent and well analysed!" The deputy chief of staff thought for a moment and answered!

"Especially the analysis of Datong City, it is very thorough!"

"For our Eighth Route Army, Datong City is a hot potato, but we can't eat it when we get it in our hands!"

"But for the Jin Sui army, which has been losing troops and losing the city and land, taking Datong City can not only save their low morale, but also improve their prestige in the country!"

"What's more, Datong City is different from ordinary county seats, it has a large number of coal mines buried underground, and its economy is developed, just like a hen that can lay golden eggs! The Jin Suijun taking Datong will definitely greatly ease their financial pressure! ”

"So as long as we express to the World War II Zone that we can take Datong, and we can give it to them conditionally! As long as the conditions are within their tolerance, they will definitely be willing to take over! ”

The deputy commander-in-chief thought for a moment and asked, "How many benefits do you think a Datong City can give us in exchange!" ”

"Money must not be thought about!" The deputy chief of staff spoke!

"The Jin Sui army now occupies a small area in the southwest of Jin. We also have to feed nearly 100,000 Jin Sui troops, and the funds must be as tight as ours!

"But there is one thing that WWII is not lacking!"

"When the Jin Sui army withdrew from Taiyuan, although the arsenal was lost, it still took away a lot of equipment and all the semi-finished products of the arsenal!"

"When we arrived in the southwest of Jinxi, the arsenal was quickly reorganized!"

"Although the scale has been greatly reduced, light weapons and ammunition can be produced!"

"So I think a Datong city can at least exchange us for a brigade of equipment and ammunition!"

"If you can, you can ask them for some medicine!"

"Change!"

The deputy commander-in-chief made a decisive decision!

"Since we can't completely control Datong City, it's better to change some equipment and form two more main regiments!"

"As long as we have troops and strength in our hands, Datong City will return to us sooner or later!"

"Another point, the Datong City we handed over to the World War II Zone must be an empty city!"

"According to intelligence: The Japanese army has hoarded a brigade and regiment in Datong City for a year's combat supplies, with more than 5 million rounds of ammunition alone, as many as 20,000 shells, and nearly 10 million catties of food!"

"In addition, Datong City is also a very important military town of the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi, and there are a large number of trading houses controlled by the Japanese army in it!"

"According to the rules of engagement, as long as it is controlled by the army, we can capture it as trophies!"

"These comptoirs will also bring us a very big harvest!"

"I estimate that our income is more than 500,000 oceans in the two of Guangdayang and gold!"

"There are also the repair shops and ammunition factories that Comrade Li Hao fancies, and those equipment are priceless treasures that money can't buy!"

"Finally, add the equipment and ammunition that can be obtained from the World War II zone!"

"In this military operation, we only got enough weapons to equip at least five main regiments!"

"There's more ammunition! With the existing size of troops in the northwestern base area of Shanxi and Yan'an, with these captures, there is no need to worry about ammunition for the next half a year! ”

"Deputy Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the Second War Zone, informing them of our imminent attack on Datong City, and asking them to send troops to cooperate. Drag more than 2,000 little devils south of Datong! ”

"At the same time, send our willingness to use Datong City to exchange equipment and ammunition from them!"

"Also, since it's a negotiation, there will definitely be some bargaining!"

"So when you make another request, you must remember that the lion opens his mouth and asks for at least one division of equipment and ammunition!"

"With the current foundation of the World War II Zone, I will definitely be able to take it out!"

"As for how much you can take in the end, it depends on your ability!"

The deputy chief of staff hastened to reply: "I'll draft a telegram now!" ”
