Li Hao suddenly spoke, looked at Wang Hong and asked.

"Political commissar, our deal with Jin Suijun is over!"

"It ended a month ago, and they seem to be in dire need of those twelve heavy guns, and the deal was completed a month ahead of schedule." Wang Hong thought for a moment and replied.

"As far as I know, the last two times the grain traded with us was drawn from his own grain depot by the Jin Sui army."

"After the transaction was completed, it took a month to buy food from other places to make up for the shortfall."

Li Hao nodded and replied thoughtfully.

"This means that it has been a month since their heavy artillery regiment was formed!"

Wang Hong immediately heard what Li Hao said, and hurriedly asked, "Commander, have you already thought of the reason?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the Jin Sui army wants to re-attack Datong City, and revenge is coming." Li Hao thought for a moment and replied.

"The Eighth Route Army, as their friendly army, and it is subordinate to the theater command, should help in all senses."

"Our garrison regiment is not coincidental, it happens to be stationed in the southeast of Datong, and then it was selected by the headquarters."

"The intention of the headquarters is obvious: by attacking Hunyuan, attacking in the direction of Datong for fifty kilometers, forcing the Datong garrison to divide some forces to deal with us, reducing the combat pressure of the Jin Sui army, so as to support their attack on Datong."

"It must be the reason!" Hong Linfeng replied.

Wang Hong also showed a thoughtful expression: "It should be this reason." ”

"After taking Hunyuan, the headquarters only asked us to attack in the direction of Datong for fifty kilometers, and then establish a defensive line, which could not be more obvious."

"It can not only share the operational pressure of the Jin Sui army's attack on Datong, but also not cause the Jin Sui army to misunderstand, otherwise they will think that our garrison is going to grab Taiyuan City with them."

"Commander, I also agree with your judgment."

"The last time the Jin Sui army attacked Datong was half a year ago, not only did they not take it down, but they also lost their troops, and this time they must have been ashamed."

As the political commissar spoke, Hong Linfeng's brows furrowed, and he suddenly changed his words and said: "Regiment commander, political commissar, carry out the orders of the headquarters and help the Jin Suijun, there is no problem at all, but this task is not easy to complete." ”

"Hun Yuancheng was repaired by the Japanese puppet army like a turtle shell, solid as gold."

"If you want to take it, you must use heavy artillery, and you will have to consume a lot of shells, and as for the casualties and other losses of the troops, they must be very large."

"Advance fifty kilometers in the direction of Datong, and then build a defensive line, which is also an offensive."

"This means that we only have to pay in the two battles, but have no gain, and we are desperate to win Hunyuan, and in the end, all the advantages are taken by the Jin Sui army."

The political commissar was very principled, shook his head and replied: "Chief of staff, as long as there is a war, there will be losses, and we cannot always only take advantage of it and not suffer losses." ”

"And this is an order given to us by the headquarters personally, even if the garrison regiment is exhausted, it must be carried out, and it cannot be discounted at all."

"In order to successfully complete the mission, I propose to change the current combat plan of the garrison regiment."

"The three independent battalions of Laiyuan, Weixian, and Guangling have all suspended the siege of the county seat and changed it to surveillance, and then each independent battalion will draw two main companies out to support the regiment headquarters and attack Hunyuan."

"The heavy artillery battalion and the air defense battalion of the three independent battalions are reinforced, all of them are retreated and rebuilt, and all the strength is concentrated to attack Hunyuan."

Hong Linfeng agreed: "I agree with the political commissar's proposal. ”

"The Japanese puppet army has built a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications in Hunyuan City, and it is necessary to have heavy artillery to participate in the battle, and it must also have more than twice the strength advantage, otherwise it will be difficult for us to take it."

"After Hunyuan City is attacked, the Datong garrison will definitely send reinforcements, and we will also allocate some troops to send reinforcements."

"The three independent battalions each have two infantry companies, plus one Hunyuan independent battalion, plus the main force of the regiment, and our strength in the battle exceeds 3,500 people, which is just right."

Li Hao kept frowning and didn't speak, and he didn't mean to speak when Hong Linfeng finished speaking.

Keep your eyes on the map without blinking.

Five minutes later, he suddenly spoke: "No, the independent battalions of Laiyuan, Wei County, and Guangling counties are not moving. ”

"To reinforce their heavy artillery company and air defense company, only half of the equipment will be rebuilt, and the main force of the support regiment will attack Hunyuan County."

"The task of the three independent battalions remains the same, to continue to encircle the county town and consume the ammunition of the garrison?"

"We have been laying out for so long in the front, and it is not easy to see some results and achieve some results. If we change our battle plan at this time, our previous efforts and efforts will be in vain. ”

"And after the main force is transferred, it is impossible for the Japanese puppet army not to notice it at all."

"If they take the risk of killing out of the county seat, and the main force of the three independent battalions is not there, then the losses in the base area will be great, and we will not be able to fight in Hunyuan with peace of mind."

Hong Linfeng hurriedly reminded: "Think twice, head of the regiment!" ”

"Without the transfer of troops from three separate battalions, we can dispatch up to two thousand five hundred troops."

"Minus the reinforcements, and the troops that are really used to attack Hunyuan are 2,000 people."

"If you subtract artillery, cavalry, air defense and other technical arms, the number of remaining combat troops and the number of Japanese puppet troops defending the city will be on par with each other, and they will not have any advantage, how can we fight?"

Wang Hong's brows also twisted, and he reminded.

"Commander, the siege battle is not an encounter battle, nor is it a battlefield raid, there is no superiority in troops, and the possibility of us capturing Hunyuan City is almost zero."

"And this task was given by the headquarters, and we must complete it."

"It's too risky for you to arrange the troops like this, if we fail to capture Hunyuan County on time and affect the overall situation of the headquarters, it will be dealt with by military law."

"That's why I'm sticking to what I just proposed, and I don't agree with you doing it."

Li Hao replied confidently: "Don't worry, political commissar, when did you see me joking with you about military operations." ”

"The reason why I dare to take more than 2,000 people to attack Hunyuan County, and I guarantee to take it within the specified time. That's because our garrison still has a secret weapon that has been hidden and never used. ”

"I originally left this secret weapon for Laiyuan City."

"Compared with the three counties of Guangling, Wei County, and Hunyuan, Laiyuan is larger, the city fortifications are stronger, and the garrison is more, which is worthy of the name."

"In order to complete the task assigned to us by the headquarters, I can only take out the secret weapon against Laiyuan City in advance."

"Armored assault company?" Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up and shouted.

Li Hao didn't hide it, nodded and affirmed: "It's them." ”

"The dispatch of the armored company will definitely be able to catch the Hunyuan Japanese puppet army by surprise, and before they react, use the chariot to tear a hole in the city fortifications to cover the troops into the city."

"There are more than 1,500 people in the Hunyuan garrison, and there are only four or five hundred real devils, and the rest are all puppet troops."

"If you defend the city, these puppet armies still have the strength to fight under the supervision of the devils."

"As long as we enter the city and turn the battle to defend the city into a melee, the Japanese puppet army will definitely be a mess and fight on their own."

"Without the devil to supervise the war, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army will definitely be greatly reduced, and even directly surrender as a prisoner."

"So as soon as the troops enter the city, our opponents will be reduced from fifteen hundred to four or five hundred."

"Three against one, our morale is high, the devil's morale is low, and the final winner will definitely be us."

"The only regret is that the armored company will be exposed in advance, and it will definitely be difficult to use them to raid the devils in the future."

"For us, who lack heavy weapons, the tanks and armored vehicles equipped with the armored company can be described as steel behemoths and battlefield killers. But in the eyes of the Japanese army, which did not lack heavy weapons, it was too easy to destroy them. ”
