Predator Reborn

Chapter 392 Liu Hua’s response

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, generals. Next, I would like to introduce to you the specific contents of the combat plan formulated by the staff department. You are all generals who have experienced battles. I hope that if you have any opinions, please put them forward immediately, and we will work together.

Solve these problems." As he spoke, the chief of staff stood up from his seat with a combat plan in hand, and walked to a map of Shanxi Province hanging on the wall of the conference room.

"My generals, our battle plan is very simple. That is to occupy Taiyuan City in the shortest possible time. With Taiyuan as the center, we will then develop to the surrounding areas, and then gradually expand the occupied area to divide the Japanese divisions.

All the armed forces have been squeezed out of the entire Shanxi Province. The specific plan is to send troops from our station and occupy Jiexiu and Yushe at the fastest marching speed. Then, along the railway line, we will cover each other, march directly to Taiyuan, and attack Taiyuan.

Form an encirclement, and then concentrate our forces to storm Taiyuan and capture the entire city of Taiyuan. Our plan will be more than half completed." The chief of staff pointed at the map of Shanxi Province behind him and introduced it loudly.

"Chief of Staff, this plan is great. We divide our troops into two groups. On the one hand, we can disperse the limited combat strength of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, we can form a semi-encirclement situation on Taiyuan City in the shortest time. We can form a semi-encirclement situation on Taiyuan City in the shortest time.

, to achieve the greatest results." Just as the chief of staff finished speaking, a military commander sitting next to Yan Xishan stood up and said excitedly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the battle plan formulated by the staff.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, I will now issue their respective combat orders. Commander Li, you will take your troops to attack Jiexiu, and then attack Taiyuan City along the railway line. Commander Zhang, will be responsible for attacking Yushe

.All the remaining troops will be personally commanded by the Commander-in-Chief, who will coordinate and support you at any time. The troops will set off overnight tomorrow night and launch an attack on time at 11 o'clock on the night of the 26th. What do you think? Do you have any opinions?" Staff Sgt.

The commander ordered loudly.

"No..." all the officers replied one after another.

"Okay, very good. I hope that this time, our 100,000 Shanxi-Sui officers and soldiers will work together to recapture Taiyuan from the hands of the Eighth Route Army's *** Division in the shortest possible time. Now adjourn." Yan Xishan stood up and looked

He glanced at the people in front of him and ordered loudly.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

Of course, it is true that the Jinsui Army has detected the Eighth Route Army's *** Division. Located in southern Shanxi, there is only the *** Division with less than 30,000 troops, that is, three main regiments in the first division and nine infantry units directly under the column.

Corps, headquarters artillery regiment, armored regiment and fully staffed special operations brigade. The total strength is more than 28,000 people. =

However, what Yan Xishan did not expect was that although there were only less than 30,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers in southern Shanxi, these less than 30,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers were the most powerful unit in the entire *** division. In terms of strength,

Not much worse than the 100,000 Jinsui Army. However, these troops of less than 30,000 were hidden in Jiexiu and Yushe areas under the command of the division commander Liu Hua who went to southern Shanxi in person, waiting quietly.

The arrival of the Jinsui Army.

"Reporting to the division commander, the underground party comrades lurking within the Jinsui Army just sent us a piece of information about the specific action plan of the Jinsui Army." Just as the division commander Liu Hua stood in front of the map, he carefully

While observing the terrain of the two places, Chief of Staff Li Qing, who arrived in southern Shanxi with Liu Hua, hurried to the headquarters with a telegram.

"Well, read..." Liu Hua ordered loudly. However, his eyes never left the map in front of him.

"Yes, division commander, according to intelligence, Yan Xishan is preparing to concentrate 100,000 troops of the Shanxi-Sui Army to attack Shanxi with all his strength in an attempt to take Shanxi back from our hands." Chief of Staff Li Qing replied.

"Haha, one hundred thousand troops. It seems that Yan Xishan wants to go all out. These one hundred thousand troops are his slaves, and he actually took them all out at once. However, our Eighth Route Army divisions are not that easy to bully.

How about it, comrades of the underground party, do you have any specific deployment of Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army?" After hearing what the chief of staff said, Liu Hua couldn't help being surprised, and then asked.

"Division Commander, we have a specific plan. The Shanxi-Sui Army divided into two divisions to attack the two counties of Jiexiu and Yushe occupied by our army. Then they quickly seized Taiyuan with the help of railway lines. Finally, they stuck to Taiyuan and relied on Taiyuan.

The strong city defenses slowly expanded their occupied area outwards, thereby squeezing our *** division out of the entire Shanxi Province. "The chief of staff continued.

"Well, this Yan Xishan's tone is not small, but it depends on whether his Shanxi-Sui Army has such a good mouth. In this way, since Yan Xishan has sent the vanguard of two divisions to seize the two county towns,

Then we will deal with these two divisions first. As long as we deal with Yan Xishan's two reorganized divisions, I think, according to Yan Xishan's character as a wealthy local man, he will definitely take our military strength into consideration and withdraw his troops immediately."

Liu Hua pointed at the map in front of him and said confidently.

"Commander, we really want to fight... If we really wipe out the two divisions of the Jinsui Army, you won't be afraid of being labeled as destroying the united front." I heard that the division commander in front of me really planned to fight with Jinsui Army.

The army was fighting, and the chief of staff asked with a worried look on his face.

"Chief of Staff, actually I don't want to fight. After all, they are all Chinese *** troops, and they are also anti-Japanese troops. But what can we do? The Jinsui Army has arrived at our doorstep fully armed. Do we*

Did the ** division really give up Shanxi, which the soldiers had bought with their lives and blood, without firing a single shot? I don’t agree or disagree with this, even if we sacrificed thousands of officers and soldiers this time, they would not agree.

"." After hearing the chief of staff's question, Liu Hua was also at a loss for a while. However, for the goal in his heart, he knew that this battle must be fought.

"Commander, see if you can use the method you used against the two armies of the Central Army last time to find a way to force Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army back by controlling food and water sources. In this case, we won't have to use swords and guns." Chief of Staff

reminded.

However, what disappointed Chief of Staff Li Qing was that after Liu Hua listened to his suggestion, he just shook his head speechlessly: "Chief of Staff, things are not that easy. This time we are coming with an army of 100,000 people. We**

The Japanese division simply does not have the ability to relocate all the people in the entire Shanxi Province."

"However, Chief of Staff, don't worry. I will not fight hard this time. I will try my best not to fight a big battle and annihilate the two reorganized divisions of the Jinsui Army..." Seeing the Chief of Staff who was still worried

, thinking that the special operations brigade was in his hands at this time. Suddenly, a bold plan emerged in Zhang Hua's mind.

"If we don't fight a big battle? How is it possible? The two divisions combined have more than 20,000 people. If we don't fight a big battle, how can we completely annihilate the Jinsui Army's 20,000 troops?" the chief of staff asked in disbelief.

Just as the chief of staff finished speaking, Liu Hua did not respond in time, but fell into thinking, thinking about the possibility of the battle plan in his mind. Because, in a military like the Jinsui Army,

In the army, the morale and morale of the soldiers are not very stable. Therefore, as long as all their military commanders are captured, it should be much easier to deal with the remaining soldiers of the Jinsui Army who have no military commanders.

What's more important is that the straight-line distance from the station of the Jinsui Army to the two county towns is hundreds of miles. Over such a long distance, as long as the Jinsui Army camped in the wild, relying on its own special operations brigade

With their strength and ability, they completely captured their commander and eventually paralyzed the entire army. The commanders of the two reorganized divisions ordered the entire army to surrender.

Thinking of this, the division commander Liu Hua showed a smile. "Chief of Staff, when will the leading troops of the two divisions of the Shanxi-Sui Army set out?" Liu Hua asked anxiously.

"Ah... this. Division Commander, according to intelligence, the two divisions will set off on time at eleven o'clock tomorrow night. It will take four days along the way to reach their offensive position, and then head towards the two counties we occupied.

Launch an attack." Seeing the smiling division commander, Chief of Staff Li Qing replied without knowing why.

"There are a total of four days on the road, which is enough. Chief of Staff, I have a way to deal with these two divisions of the Jinsui Army. As long as they are arranged properly, we don't need to use any swords and guns at all. We only need to use a small number of troops. We can easily

We can deal with the more than 20,000 Jin-Sui Army soldiers." Seeing the Chief of Staff who was still full of doubts, Liu Hua said excitedly.

"Don't use swords and guns...what do you mean? Commander, please tell me quickly, what is the specific method?" Seeing the confident Liu Hua in front of him, the chief of staff said anxiously.

"Haha, that's it. To put it simply, this plan is called a decapitation operation. Our special operations brigade does this kind of work not once or twice. My thoughts are like this..." Just like that,

Liu Hua slowly expressed his immature thoughts.

"Okay, division commander, if the special operations brigade can really complete its mission, apart from surrendering to us, the two main divisions of the Jinsui Army will only have one chance of annihilation of the entire army. There is absolutely no other way out. If

Yan Xishan knew that after his two reorganized divisions surrendered to our *** division, he would withdraw the troops as soon as possible, and then find a way to get these two divisions back from our hands." After hearing this, the division commander said.

With this idea in mind, Chief of Staff Li Qing couldn't help but bang the table in front of him and said excitedly.

"Well, I believe that the special operations brigade can complete the mission. At the beginning, the Japs in Taiyuan City were so heavily guarded that they were able to advance and retreat freely. Now they are facing the Jinsui Army whose combat effectiveness is several levels lower. I think they will be able to

Mission accomplished." Liu Hua said confidently.

"Commander, let's start now and formulate this plan in the shortest possible time. You know, the Jinsui Army will be dispatched tomorrow night." The chief of staff nodded with deep understanding.

In this way, in the huge headquarters, division commander Liu Hua and chief of staff Li Qing focused on the battle map in front of them and began to formulate a beheading plan to prepare a special gift for Yan Xishan who was about to enter Shanxi. Finally, after passing

The two of them worked hard all night, and finally a complete battle plan was completed.

"Okay, if nothing goes wrong during the entire battle, more than 20,000 Jinsui troops will join our army sooner or later..." Looking at the battle plan in their hands, the two people worked hard all night.

, Chief of Staff Li Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, Staff Officer Wang, please send a report to the Special Operations Brigade immediately, asking Captain Liu Xiaogang and Political Commissar Luo Zhi of the Special Operations Brigade to come to the headquarters as soon as possible. Be quick." He looked at the basically completed combat plan in his hand.

Liu Hua's face was also full of excitement, and he gave a loud order to a communications staff officer at the command department.

"Yes, division commander..." the communications staff officer replied loudly.

In less than half a day, Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations brigade who was dozens of miles away, immediately rushed to the headquarters with the political commissar after receiving the telegram from the division commander. He hurriedly arrived without even taking a rest.

Headquarters. At this time, Liu Hua and the Chief of Staff were inside the headquarters, having a simple lunch.

"Report to the division commander, chief of staff, special operations brigade captain Liu Xiaogang, and political commissar Luo Zhi, who are ordered to come and report." Looking at the two old leaders who were eating and doing research, the two people standing at the door replied loudly.

"Captain Liu and Political Commissar Luo have arrived at the headquarters so quickly. They must not have eaten yet. So, Xiao Wang, go to the cooking class immediately and prepare a lunch for Captain Liu and Political Commissar Luo. Hurry, we can eat together

Let’s talk.” Seeing the two panting people in front of him, Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Division Commander, Chief of Staff, do you have any missions? Since the last battle in Taiyuan, our special operations brigade has not received any missions for several days. The soldiers' hands are itchy and they are looking forward to the division headquarters giving us orders every day.

Issue a new combat mission." After sitting in front of Liu Hua and the chief of staff, Liu Xiaogang didn't have any scruples and immediately picked up a piece of steamed bun and said while eating.

"I said, Captain Liu, you have been the captain of the special operations brigade for several years, and you still can't change your temper. However, this time you really guessed it right. This time, I called you and Political Commissar Luo,

There is an important task for you. Moreover, this time you have to split up." Looking at Liu Xiaogang who was devouring his food, Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Yes, Commander, don't worry. The Special Operations Brigade promises to complete the mission..." When he heard the word mission, Liu Xiaogang immediately put down the half-eaten buns in his hand and stood up suddenly.

, said loudly.

"Haha, you two, just rest assured, good steel is used on the blade. The division headquarters will never forget your special operations brigade. You know, the special operations brigade is the sharp knife force of our entire *** division.

." Looking at Liu Xiaogang in front of him, teacher Liu Hua said with a smile.

After the four people hurriedly finished their lunch, they came to the huge map. At the same time, the battle plan compiled after one night was also handed over to two people.

"How are you doing, Captain Liu and Political Commissar Luo, are there any difficulties?" Liu Hua asked, looking at the two people who were carefully reading the battle plan in their hands.

"Reporting to the division commander, there is no problem. However, in our hands, we only have the uniforms of the Japs and not the uniforms of the Jinsui Army. Therefore, please ask the division headquarters to prepare a thousand sets of Jinsui Army uniforms for us." See

In front of the division commander and chief of staff who were full of expectations, Liu Xiaogang answered affirmatively without any hesitation.

"There is no question about the reputation of the military uniform. Where is Political Commissar Luo, do you still have any difficulties?" Seeing the confident Liu Xiaogang, Liu Hua set his sights on Political Commissar Luo Zhi.

"Reporting to the division commander and chief of staff, I believe that in order to ensure that the entire plan is foolproof, a large number of main forces should be sent to participate in the battle. After we capture all the enemy officers, the main forces will respond on the periphery. At the same time, all the Shanxi-Sui Army should be surrounded.

In this case, the chance of winning will be greater." Political Commissar Luo Zhi thought for a while and finally expressed his thoughts with certainty.

"Well, if this is the case, the entire plan will be more secure. Chief of Staff, what do you think of Political Commissar Luo's suggestion?" Liu Hua nodded and looked at the Chief of Staff beside him.

"Division Commander, we now have a total of 12 main force regiments in our hands. When the time comes, we can divide the six main force regiments on one side and complete the task. I agree with Political Commissar Luo and let the main force cooperate appropriately on the periphery.

." The chief of staff thought for a moment and said with certainty.

"Okay, let's do it like this. In this way, Captain Liu and Political Commissar Luo, when you look at this map, tell me and the Chief of Staff about your thoughts in general, let the two of us

I have a number in mind..." In this way, the four people discussed again for almost an hour and finally decided on the specific implementation process of the entire beheading plan.

Shortly after returning to the station, one thousand sets of Jinsui Army uniforms prepared by the division were subsequently transported to the station of the special operations brigade. After almost two hours of preparation, the entire special operations brigade, without anyone noticing,

Next, he quietly drove out of his station. Then, the entire army divided into two groups and disappeared into the dark night.

At the same time, after a day of preparation, the two main divisions of the Jinsui Army, with a strength of more than 24,000, marched out of their stations under Yan Xishan's orders. The soldiers were also filled with troops.

With the encouragement and instigation of the officers, they all marched towards Shanxi with high expectations. However, what these Jinsui troops did not expect was that in the dark night, there were two small units of the Eighth Route Army, several hours in advance.

At the same time, he rushed towards them head on.
