Liao Jundong asked some more about the specific situation and reasons for the tide of displaced people, and then praised the two people for their tacit cooperation and decisiveness, which minimized the loss, and the two people contributed a lot.

"Next we have a combat meeting, as always, to keep it secret!" Liao Jundong said to three important military commanders.

After all, the battle to capture Taiyuan was not a small-scale battle, and this time Hu Guoshan's division had to exert 100 percent of its strength and not make any mistakes, and now there are many people in China who are waiting to see the jokes of the New 33rd Army, especially when Liao Fan does not show up, if this battle is lost, I am afraid that the impact on the New 33rd Army will not be too small.

The first order is to be able to implement the next plan, and now that the main generals have arrived, it is natural to order good soldiers and horses.

"Lao Hu, isn't it time to show all your family background this time?" Liao Jundong looked at Hu Guoshan with a smile, these officers of the New 33rd Army are becoming more and more shrewd, if they don't encounter a big battle and shake out all their family funds, it is estimated that they will never know how much money they have really saved.

"Brother Liao, where do I have any family background, I have been blackmailed by Brother Fan, at most there are some local militias that have not been reported!"

This time, the first line of the Great Wall on the northern front and the Jingcheng area on the eastern front were under a lot of pressure from the Japanese army, and Hu Guoshan and they also took out the last family funds to work hard for the little devils, except for the local militia, Hu Guoshan had no hidden troops.

"Lao Hu, you are not authentic, I heard that you have been training armored troops recently, your division is really rich, you look at the best in our division or the little devil's 105* gun, compared to you, it is really infuriating!" Liu Chun's knife division is still the weakest of the four divisions, not only the Liu Chun knife division has a weak foundation, but the main thing is that Liu Chun's knife division is stationed at the stone gate to ensure the safety of the station, and rarely has friction with the little devils, and I don't want the other three divisions to have everything as long as they win a battle with the little devils.

"Brother Liu, don't expose our old roots, we are training armored troops well, but everyone knows that soldiers can only be lined up on the battlefield after at least one month of training, not to mention that this armored force is more complex than infantry, and we have no experience in assembling armored troops, so we are crossing the river by feeling the stones!" Hu Guoshan also complained that the armored troops were very good, but except for Liao Fan, who had some experience in the New 33rd Army, everyone else, from the commander to the soldiers, was blinded.

"What our division commander said is right, and our armored vehicles are all captured from the hands of little devils, and if one is knocked out, there will be one less, and it cannot be replenished at all!" It is said that it is an armored force, and the tanks and armored vehicles add up to more than two dozen vehicles, and when they are driven to the battlefield, if they are covered by the artillery fire of the little devils, these Iron King Eight are completely moving coffins.

Liu Chundao smiled awkwardly, he hadn't even understood the affairs of the infantry, and let him listen to the affairs of the armored forces, which was completely listening to the book of heaven.

"The main attacking force this time is your division, as for the main attack direction of Liu Chundao's division, it is not Taiyuan, but to clear several other areas around Taiyuan, and then stabilize the order in various places, and there can be no more homeless people!" Liao Jundong arranged the tasks of two divisions.

"Hu Guoshan, your division is concentrating on capturing Taiyuan!"

"Brother Liao, according to the situation we have recently detected, it is now difficult to see the traces of the Japanese army in other areas except for the surrounding areas of Taiyuan, some places are controlled by the traitor puppet army, and some places are not under the jurisdiction of anyone at all, it is a bit overkill to let Division Commander Liu's troops clear various places, and now our division has begun to clear the surrounding areas!"

Zhao Caizhu reacted to Liao Jundong that in order to stabilize the displaced people and reduce their pressure in the past few days, after receiving the information from the guard battalion, they had already organized their troops to set off to various places, and it was indeed not too necessary to arrange Liu Chundao's troops to go.

"Lao Zhao is right, we have arranged for the troops of the two regiments to be cleared to the south and north respectively to stabilize the order, and we really haven't pressed all the large troops on the ground!" Hu Guoshan also agreed with Zhao Caizhu's opinion.

"You're moving so fast?" Liao Jundong didn't expect Hu Guoshan and his division to move so quickly, "It seems that the plan is not as good as changing!" ”

Obviously, Liao Fan was in the ward all day long and fell in love with Fu Hongyu, and he didn't expect that there would be a wave of displaced people, but this one thing was enough to make a big change in the whole plan.

"Also, I think that the chief of staff stationed in Shanyin County can properly move westward, maybe Shuozhou is already an empty city now, and there is no Japanese army stationed at all!" Hu Guoshan proposed.

If the Japanese army wants to hold Taiyuan, it must concentrate its forces, if the troops are scattered in various places, only if they are broken by each one, it is better to concentrate their forces to fight to the death, so that the chance of survival will be greater, and the little devils of the Japanese army in Shanxi certainly understand this truth.

"I want to know if the forces of your division are dispersed, the remaining forces will be able to capture Taiyuan?" If the troops are insufficient, when they reach the city of Taiyuan, there will not be enough fresh troops to attack the city, and everything will come to naught.

"According to the situation we have detected, the strength of the Japanese army in Taiyuan City will not be less than 40,000 now, the establishment of the puppet army is a bit chaotic, and the specific number is difficult to investigate, but it may not be less than the strength of the little devil!"

The high walls of Taiyuan City are thick, and the combined strength of the Japanese puppet army is enough to defend Taiyuan City.

"And how many troops can you muster now?" Liao Jundong asked Hu Guoshan.

With the combat effectiveness of the New 33rd Army, especially the top-notch combat effectiveness of the Hu Guoshan Division of the New 33rd Army, although they only need to concentrate their forces on one point and contain the troops defending the city in other aspects, their strength cannot be less than that of the Japanese army, otherwise after this battle is over, it will be a great loss of vitality.

Hu Guoshan glanced at Zhao Caizhu and then at Liu Chundao.

"To tell you the truth, Taiyuan is different from other places, we can't be careless, as a commander I must understand the situation of each unit!" Liao Jun* felt that his heart was not good.

"In addition to the troops who have gone out and the troops who remain behind, our division can gather up to seven regiments and 20,000 horses!"

"Are all seven regiments combat units?"

"Yes, but there are three regiments that have just been pulled up, and they have not fought a single battle!" Hu Guoshan told the truth that the pressure caused by this wave of displaced people was too great, and he scattered too many troops, "If you add the business directly under the division, it will not exceed 23,000 people!" ”

The new 33rd Army is indeed growing stronger and stronger, especially the division commanders are afraid of poverty, they are crazy to expand the army, crazy to plunder the spoils and resources from the Japanese puppet army, but after all, there is very little time for the soldiers!

"There are only 15,000 of the 23,000 people who can really provoke the beam, and we are facing 40,000 well-equipped Japanese troops! And they also have the fortifications they have seen to make rock masses, and our only armored unit is poorly trained! ”

originally thought that his hand was too far away, but in Liu Chundao's eyes, it suddenly became as solid as a rock, and it turned out that this battle was really difficult to fight.

"Liu Chundao, the four regiments of your division, plus the troops directly under the regiment, are only 15,000 people! It is necessary to stay at the stone gate to protect the safety of the station, and the number of troops that can be mobilized is only 10,000, but where can I find the combat troops that are still 10,000? Liao Jundong counted the troops in this operation, and he didn't feel enough.

If the troops are not enough, how to attack Taiyuan, if they don't let the little devils come to a counterattack, their tens of thousands of people may have to sink into the sand.

"Brother Liao, in fact, I think we will never have so many artillery brigades, those turret fortifications on the periphery of the little devil look quite bluffing, they are all fixed targets, they can't withstand the attack of our artillery, as long as our artillery strikes accurately, the outer defense of the Japanese army is like paper paste, the most difficult to gnaw the city wall of Taiyuan and the battle for Taiyuan City!" Hu Guoshan pointed out the main offensive point of the troops.

"But Lao Hu, have you ever thought about what to do if our attacking troops are frustrated or suffer too many casualties? If no other troops are on top in time, the Japanese army will counterattack, and all the troops will become passive! Liao Jundong considered a more secure approach.

"This ......" Hu Guoshan never thought that such a situation would occur, because in his mind he believed that his troops were invincible and invincible, and there was no shortage of such generals in history, and it was precisely because of their overconfidence that the balance that had originally dominated the enemy began to tilt in favor of the enemy.

"And if the troops are too small, our casualties will definitely increase, do you want to wait for the capture of Taiyuan, and there will be tombs of soldiers outside Taiyuan City?"

There was silence in the headquarters, the war would inevitably kill people, but what they wanted to think about as a commander was to inflict the greatest damage on the enemy with the smallest casualties possible, if they captured Taiyuan, Hu Guoshan became a bare-bones commander, the plan to capture Taiyuan City might as well go back, even if it was delayed for a year, they could not exchange the lives of so many soldiers for a city that was bound to win.

"Brother Liao, I have an idea, otherwise we will now order the scattered troops to shrink their strength, and let Division Commander Liu arrange two regiments of troops from the stone gate to replace our troops! And it is time for Division Commander Liu's troops to expand their strength, so that they can also recruit soldiers when arranging the people, killing two birds with one stone! Zhao Caizhu suggested.

"I also think it's good, leave a regiment of troops stationed at Shimen, and let Deputy Division Commander Tian take a regiment and other battalions directly under the division to assist in the attack on Taiyuan, so that although the total number of our troops has not changed, Lao Hu's troops can at least remain intact and cooperate tacitly!" Liu Chundao agreed with Zhao Caizhu's opinion.
