Chapter 941: Reinforcements
The first light of dawn sprinkled on the earth, and the city of Taiyuan filled with gunsmoke was like a light veil. It was hazy in the mist, and it seemed to evaporate with the burning green smoke at any moment.
After a night of feints, the city of Taiyuan was completely quiet before dawn. There was a dead silence in the city, and there was not a single devil in the city. The Japanese seem to want to learn and sell the Chinese's empty city plan, and while they are silent, they also hide all exposed firepower.
In the former enemy headquarters of the Second Army, Huang Youde summoned all the senior officers who participated in the operation. A temporary sand table was set up in the center of the headquarters, and all the terrain around Taiyuan was briefly copied, and the Japanese army and the PLA were marked with small red and blue flags to distinguish the armies of the two sides.
"The railway station and Xiaolongshan have been taken by Fang Kui's reinforced division and our tank troops, and now Taiyuan is a lonely city." Huang Youde pointed to the lonely Taiyuan on the sand table, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "But it's not so easy for us to fight Taiyuan now." The little devils are not completely desperate, they will definitely defend to the end in Taiyuan City, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. ”
"Commander, our current firepower is much stronger than that of the devils. Can we ask the headquarters to transfer planes to assist in the operation? If we can throw some aerial bombs into the devil's troops, we can take Taiyuan within a day! One of the officers said with a smile.
"Yes, I still remember when we first arrived in Shanxi, the brothers of the Air Force threw incendiary bombs at the devils. It's a refreshing one, and there's nothing to do with our infantry! Another officer immediately chimed in.
"If I can use the Air Force, what kind of combat meeting will I have with you now!" Huang Youde shook his head: "The devils are all in Taiyuan City, mixed with our people. The Air Force threw bombs, and I am afraid that the most casualties were still our people. So, the Air Force can't be used! ”
"Then let's attack directly, with the strength of our second army, even if Taiyuan's city defense is strong, we can take it within two days." An officer said confidently.
The people around immediately nodded in agreement, with the current strength of the Second Army, there are not only heavy support artillery to help, but also self-propelled artillery units and tank units such as offensive weapons. Even the overall strength of the infantry is a grade higher than that of the devils in Taiyuan City.
All of them were equipped with assault rifles developed by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) itself, and all of their heavy machine guns were the latest general-purpose squad heavy machine guns, which were more than twice as powerful as the devil's heavy machine guns, and could completely suppress them.
They had such self-confidence that if the two armies faced each other, with the same number of people, with the strength of the second army, they could completely annihilate the Japanese army in less than a day. Even if the other party hides in the city and relaxes the attack time for one more day, it can still completely annihilate the Japanese troops in the city.
The North China Dispatch Army in Taiyuan City, in the eyes of the second officers and soldiers at this moment, is just a lamb to be slaughtered.
Huang Youde grinned: "Don't worry, everyone, there is an opportunity for everyone to attack." Now, our first task is to surround Taiyuan and wait for the time to come! ”
"When? Aren't we ripe yet? All asked.
Huang Youde smiled: "When the devils in the city are completely desperate, our time is truly ripe." The people of Taiyuan City must not be implicated in this war. We are the people's soldiers, and we must ensure the safety of the people! ”
"Let's go back and prepare, and order the troops not to act rashly. If there is no direct order from the military department to dare to launch an attack on Taiyuan, it will be battlefield disobedience and will be dealt with according to military law! Huang Youde said mercilessly, with killing intent in his eyes.
"Yes!" All the officers saluted in unison.
Taiyuan Railway Station, there was silence at this time. The war had long since been extinguished, and the corpses of the devils had been cleared out of the area and thrown into the wilderness to stink with them. Many wild dogs have already visited this place at dawn, and the corpses of devils have made them feast.
Now the PLA has no time to dispose of these corpses, and originally planned to burn them in a fire, so as not to pile up the corpses and cause epidemics. However, the enemy may arrive at any time, and the fire will only warn them that there is danger at the train station, and the ambush will not be completed.
Gao Dong gambled that the devils in Taiyuan City had not yet spread the news of the fall of the train station, or that the devil reinforcements who were rushing had not received the information that the train station was occupied, and they were still rushing here in a daze.
In that case, you can launch a surprise attack on the enemy and take the enemy by surprise.
The inside and outside of the train station are filled with stern soldiers who occupy every strategic point that can be lurked. All kinds of guns were aimed in the direction of the train tracks, quietly waiting for the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
Taiyuan Railway Station has been built for a long time, as early as the Republic of China period. It is not only an important commercial truck station leading to the north and south, but also an important transportation hub for civil use.
After the Japanese occupied Shanxi, they renovated it and doubled the size of the original one, so that more than a dozen trains could enter and leave the area at the same time. If it is to transport troops, then at least the troops of two divisions can be transported to Taiyuan at the same time.
The railway has made Shanxi and the Japanese. It is precisely because of the presence of railways that the Japanese can quickly transport all kinds of materials to Shanxi anytime and anywhere, and they can also transport a large amount of ore from Shanxi.
Every year, the Japanese plunder from Shanxi is not only the money that can be seen in the hands of the people, but also the invisible resources such as coal mines, iron ore, etc., which is simply an astonishing amount.
It is precisely because of the railway that the Japanese have been able to run Shanxi very well. It is precisely because of the railway that Gaodong has not been called before. In the case of insufficient strength, he will not take such a risk.
But now it's different, he has enough quality to compete with the Japanese. Then the first thing to seize and control is the railway.
Railroads can make a nation or an army. With the railway, Gaodong can transport Shanxi's resources to the depth of the base area, and all the resources that industry lacks can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to look at other people's faces. At that time, the construction of the PLA's base areas will reach a new level.
Therefore, this railway station and the railway that the railway station extends out of, he is going to decide!
"Captain, the little devil's intelligence we intercepted says that their reinforcements should arrive at dawn. But it's almost eight o'clock, why is there no movement at all? Tang Wei looked anxiously at the winding train track like a giant snake.
Gao Dong smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "When did you become so impatient, wait for the devil to come, and some are when you are busy!" ”
"How many devils can come, Fang Kui's reinforcement division is enough for them to drink a pot, plus our tank troops, it is estimated that there are only a handful of devils who can be assigned to us!" Tang Wei rolled his eyes.
"If you can't kill it, it's very unpleasant!" Jensen smacked his mouth and said, "I've been following the big army lately, and I haven't touched any oil and water." Watching them devils all day long, my heart is itching to see it, isn't this torture! ”
"That's it, Captain, we should do something ourselves. For example, sneaking into Taiyuan City to kill Shimada Kiyohide, is this in line with the identity of our Sky Wolf Commando! Liesan hurriedly agreed.
Gao Dong smiled helplessly: "It's a war now, we have to start from the overall situation, not do whatever you want!" I've studied this person Kiyohide Shimada, and I'm still useful for keeping him. If I do, my plan will be ruined. We just need to make him desperate, and it is more useful than letting him die. ”
Everyone has nothing to say, Gao Dong's words are an iron-clad order for them, and since the boss has spoken, they can only continue to wait here.
Half an hour later, there was finally movement on the tracks. Tang Wei listened excitedly to one track after another, and then shouted loudly: "There are really a lot of people, every track is trembling, which shows that the trains coming are one after another, and there will definitely be no less sound to listen to this!" ”
A small group of people in the distance rushed over quickly, it was Zhang Huilong and his reconnaissance team.
As soon as he got closer, Zhang Huilong immediately said: "Captain, the members of our reconnaissance team in front sent back a telegram, a total of sixteen trains, most of which were transporting the devil's infantry, and two trains were loaded with devil's tanks. We haven't counted the number of soldiers, but judging by the number, it won't be less than a hundred. ”
"Tank troops?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Gao Dong's mouth: "Sure enough, there are tanks coming, according to the intelligence, these tanks are the latest tanks developed by Japan." If my guess is correct, it must have been modified by the devil according to the Type 74 tank transported from the time machine. ”
"Captain, the devil is menacing, and there are more than 20,000 troops. Plus a large number of tanks. Zhang Huilong was silent.
"More than 20,000 people, maybe more, that's two divisions. Coupled with the new tank force, it is no wonder that the devils in Taiyuan have not despaired, it turns out that the hope they are waiting for is here! Gao Dong sneered.
"Lin Fan, I'll leave it to you below, what should I do, don't I need to say more, right? You're a veteran! Gao Dong smiled.
Lin Fan smiled faintly, patted Chen Zhe and the others on the shoulder, stood up and ran towards the railway in front.
"Are you still worried that the devil won't kill enough?" Gao Dong smiled and looked at Tang Wei, Jensen and the others: "I said it all, there must be a time when you are busy." What do you think? I'm afraid I'll kill you later! ”
"I'm happy even if I have soft hands, and I'm even happier when I swim in the blood of little devils!" Jensen laughed.
"Then let's get started! Annihilate this group of enemies, and there will be no one left! Gao Dong yelled.
