Looking at Yang Jicai's stubborn eyes, the acting commander was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, you can try." But I can only give you three days, beyond which you will have to evacuate no matter how much equipment is dismantled or how much the mission is completed. In addition, I asked the Intelligence Department to find a way to communicate and contact you to meet your needs as much as possible. ”

"On my side, I will seize the time to coordinate the troops of Jinchaji, Taihang, and Taiyue Military Regions to cooperate with your actions. Fortunately, this time, the boss personally sat in my headquarters, and the deputy commander-in-chief sat in the headquarters of the Taihang Military Region. With these two great gods here, there is less verbosity in the middle. ”

"But you have to remember that I can only give you three days. It's up to you how you do it. When the time comes, even if you don't withdraw, our troops participating in the war will also withdraw. I like that you have the courage to go against the wind. But this time you attacked, you want to poke a hole in the sky, and I am also very worried about you. ”

"It's good to have air support, at least we don't have to worry about a bomb falling on our heads. But you have to understand that planes can't get down and take prisoners. The real solution to the battle still depends on the ground forces. We cannot rely on air support. The real solution to the problem is up to us. ”

"Also, in this retreat and evacuation, it is necessary to save people first and the first priority. As long as people can save it, other things that are lost will be there sooner or later. What's the use of you if you don't even have people, then you're given so many devices? People have lost land, and people and land have survived. If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost. This is what the operation looks like, and this mission is the same. ”

Regarding the acting commander's warning, Yang Jicai smiled and did not speak. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the map and urgently discussed the battle plan with the acting commander and the commander of the 8th Division in front of him. And the reconnaissance troops sent out by him also continued to pass back the enemy situation around Lan County.

As for the Jinsui Military Region to cooperate with the troops, there is no need for mobilization. As early as receiving this combat mission, the Jinsui Military Region transferred the backbone battalions of the six subdivisions to the jurisdiction of the eight subdivisions. A regiment directly under it, that is, between Lan County and Xing County. It can be said that except for some county and district armed forces that still need to be mobilized, the rest of the troops are around Yang Jicai.

It's just that although it is said that there is an eight-hour rest, because there is a big difference between Yang Jicai and the commander of the Eighth Division, there is a big difference on how to implement the battle plan, and neither of the two people who want to have the final say can convince anyone. And Su Yingqi, who had renewed the old with many old comrades-in-arms, was silent about the controversy over the battle plan.

has suffered a lot of losses, and Su Yingqi, who used to be very arrogant, is now somewhat smarter. Although he has many acquaintances in the Jinsui Military Region, he also has many old comrades-in-arms. Even many of the local cadres serving in the Jinsui Military Region were people who fled back from the Hexi Corridor with them.

But after all, it's not in your own old army, so it's better to be cautious. Even if he was an old acquaintance in Yan'an, the chief of staff of the Eighth Division only gave him a look and asked him to persuade these red-faced leaders who were fighting. He didn't see it, but just dragged his old comrades there to catch up. And his political commissar is also a cadre transferred from Guannai, and he is also very smart and did not participate.

The director of the political department of the regiment, who was born in the Anti-Japanese Federation, wanted to persuade him, but he was also stopped by this very discerning political commissar with a look. The gods fight, and these mortals still let it be avoided as well. No matter how the plan is formulated, they are the executors, and it is better not to be involved.

The bookish and angry director of the political department was dragged into the army by him to inspect the troops' preparations for battle. And this has always been the business of the military commander in the Anti-Japanese Federation. This political commissar not only crossed his own behalf, but also pulled in the director of the political department, clearly not wanting to participate in it.

Yang Jicai and the commander of the Eighth Division were constantly arguing over how to implement the battle plan. The cadres over there are all hiding far away. Even this time, because the commander of the Eighth Division wanted to follow Yang Jicai's troops, the commander of the First Division, who took over the command of Lanxian and Jingle's front-line operations, slipped away under the pretext of going to Lanxian and Jingle to deploy first and start ahead of schedule.

Seeing that the time for the departure of the operation is getting closer and closer, these two are still arguing here. The acting commander, who was troubled by the quarrel between the two, finally made a final decision, and Yang Jicai was responsible for all military operational command of the operation. Units of the 8th Division cooperated with the operation.

As for the commander and political commissar of the Eighth Division, he was reappointed as the political commissar of the operation. In any case, the Anti-Japanese Union did not appoint a political commissar to this roundabout force. The commander and political commissar who was on the military and political side of the Eighth Division just took the place of the political commissar. Is it important to work at all times.

Some unwilling commanders of the Eighth Division protested and were sent back by the acting commander with a word: "If you know how to command tanks to fight, how to coordinate infantry and artillery operations, and how to command mechanized troops, then you will be in command of this operation." ”

The acting commander made a final decision, so that the commander of the Eighth Division, who had to say everything when he walked there, finally closed his mouth. In this era, the interpersonal communication of military cadres is quite simple. It doesn't matter how high his position is, but when he faces his old superiors, he still respects him quite a lot. The old superior is the old superior, and as soon as the acting commander spoke like this, he would not dare to argue.

It's just that when he got on Yang Jicai's German-made officer command car, he still muttered unwillingly Lao Tzu came over to the snowy mountains and meadows, last year in the northwest of Jin was so nervous, Lao Tzu survived, can you still be afraid of this iron thing? Isn't it just a tank, I didn't have a chance before, and when the revolution is stable, Lao Tzu won't believe in it.

Listening to the unwilling commander of the Eighth Division, muttering beside him, Yang Jicai smiled and said, "Chief, do you want to learn to drive a tank?" There is no problem with this, when this battle is over, I will go to No. 1 and transfer you to the Anti-Japanese Federation to study for a period of time. When our own tank factory produces tanks in the future, how about equipping you with the first batch? ”

"Don't worry, if the Anti-Japanese Federation has it now, all the troops in the customs will have it sooner or later. Now that you have this idea, it's best to go ahead and learn it. Tank combat is not a simple infantry battle, this thing is not simple, but the actual application is very complicated. ”

"Commander Yi Liangpin is an old acquaintance of the chief, he is now the commander of the first armored division of our Anti-Japanese Federation. You may not know that we have two armored divisions. Moreover, his first armored division is one of the best armored divisions equipped with our anti-United Nations equipment. Of the division's 210 tanks, including the reconnaissance battalion directly under it, 90 were the latest medium tanks equipped with 76-mm guns. ”

"This division is not armed with cars either, but with all half-track armored personnel carriers. This kind of half-track vehicle has most of the maneuverability of a tank, as well as some armor protection. With this half-track, the infantry can quickly follow the tank without worrying about the enemy's infantry fire. ”

"Both the maneuverability and the protection are far more than ordinary military trucks. In addition to the trucks in the logistics department, even the artillery and anti-aircraft weapons of this armored division are all tracked. It is impossible to command such a large number of tank and mechanized troops in combat without corresponding military knowledge. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Jicai smiled a little weirdly: "Chief, since the head of the Jinsui Military Region can put you in such an important position as the Eighth Division, and the military and politics are shoulder-to-shoulder, I think your ability must be very strong, and you must be the kind of person who is both military and political." If you learn systematically, you will definitely not be worse than Master Yi. I have heard that when you were in the Red Army, you served as a military commander and military commissar. Although you are not familiar with tanks, as long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely not be bad. ”

Although the commander of the Eighth Division was born in the First Army, he was no stranger to Yi Liangpin, who was born in the Fourth Front Army. When he was at Kang University, Yi Liangpin was a student of their department, and he was the director of the political department of the third department, and the two of them were quite familiar. Yi Liangpin can fight, he is still very clear.

But I heard that Yi Liangpin actually became the commander of one of the best divisions of the Anti-Japanese Federation, with more than 200 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles. This undoubtedly made this old Red Army soldier who climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands very envious of the old Red Army who was shouldering the military and political responsibilities at the eastern gateway of the Jinsui Military Region at the moment, and who had suffered a lot of losses from the Japanese mechanized mobile units in the process of counter-sweeping.

After hesitating for a long time, the commander looked back at the tanks in the troops brought by Yang Jicai, gritted his teeth and said: "Grandma, Lao Yi can command so many tank battles, Lao Tzu will definitely not be worse than him as long as he has the opportunity." They are all old comrades-in-arms, who doesn't know how many taels of sesame oil they have in their stomachs? When this battle is over, I will report to the northeast to study. ”

Seeing that he had successfully diverted the attention of the commander of the Eighth Division, Yang Jicai smiled but did not speak, but turned his attention back to the map in his hand, and quickly calculated in his mind how to fight this battle in order to realize the intention of his superiors. But no matter how you calculate, you feel that the troops are not enough.

Yang Jicai knew very well that under the current situation that the entire Shanxi war was mainly concentrated in Datong, a few hundred kilometers away, the number of enemy troops in Taiyuan would not be too large. So he didn't focus on Taiyuan, but on Yangquan, Changzhi, Linfen, and even Yuncheng. Of course, the eastern section of the Zhengtai Railway in Hebei is also within his sight.

And the troops behind him, because of the reinforcement of part of the Jinsui Military Region, the 240 trucks he brought with him were obviously not enough to carry them. Su Yingqi, who led the team, directly asked his troops to transfer four companies to take tanks instead, and gave trucks to the troops of the Jinsui Military Region. The troops of the Jinsui Military Region who participated in the war were acting by truck for the first time, and everyone from the soldiers to the cadres could not help but be a little excited.

At the same time as Yang Jicai led the team to set off, the various units drawn from the Jinsui Military Region, which had set off in advance, had already begun to carry out large-scale sabotage attacks on various strongholds of the Japanese army along the Lanxian to Jingle Highway. and mobilized all the county and district forces of Jingle and Lan County, as well as some of the main forces, to launch a siege battle against Lan County and Jingle County.

In particular, a large number of militias were mobilized to carry out large-scale destruction of the telephone lines connecting the various strongholds. All the telephone lines along the way of Yang Jicai's march into Taiyuan were paralyzed in just a few hours. The troops that had been assembled in advance only cut the telephone lines. The militia that was gathered in the follow-up simply dug up the telephone poles under the condition of time constraints.

The deputy commander of the 8th Division, who remained in the 8th Sub-district of Gujiao, also commanded the armed forces of the various counties and districts under his command to begin to concentrate and mobilize the militia of each district to prepare for the war. At the same time, the troops of the Jin-Cha-Ji 4th Division, which were forcibly brought back by the commander of the 8th Division, began to distribute ammunition for combat preparations with the backbone battalion of the 8th Division.

In order to prepare for this operation to cooperate with the Anti-United Nations, the Eighth Division, which was somewhat measured, took out the last bit of money under the order of the commander. All ammunition in stockpile, except for miscellaneous ammunition that cannot be used, or which has no firearm to use, is taken out at once.
