Ding Wei said with a smile: "Old Li, don't complain. After the rainstorm, we have headaches, and the little devils have even more headaches. We are in the base area anyway, and our mechanization is not high, so the impact is relatively small."

Li Yunlong said: "I just feel a headache. After the heavy rain, it would be great if it could only affect the devils and not affect the transportation and combat of our troops."

"Hey, Lao Li, your idea is good, and we may not be able to do it!"

As soon as Kong Jie on the side spoke, he immediately attracted the eyes of Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.

"Old Kong, do you have another idea?" Li Yunlong asked in surprise.

Kong Jie smiled and didn't reply, but called out the door: "Monk!"

In the yard, Monk Wei quickly brought in a few soldiers and some equipment.

At this time, the torrential rain has stopped, only the light rain is still falling, and the yard is also covered with dirt roads, and the same mud is unbearable.

Even the headquarters of the three of Kong Jie, because everyone came in and out, there were mud marks one after another on the ground, which looked messy.

The monk commanded the soldiers to move. Each of the soldiers was pushing a wheelbarrow. There were hooks on both sides of the wheelbarrow. On each side of the hooks were hung two large bags of things in strong sacks. I don’t know what they were.

A soldier took down the sack from the hook on the left side of the wheelbarrow, opened the mouth of the sack, grabbed the two corners of the tail of the sack, and pulled it hard, and the stones scattered all over the ground.

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward and used the shovels in their hands to level these larger stones to the bottom, paving a road.

Several other soldiers dumped the contents of other sacks hanging on the wheelbarrow on top of the road paved with stones. It turned out to be some gravel.

In this way, five or six soldiers paved a gravel road with a length of seven or eight meters and a width of more than one meter in a short time.

The courtyard, which was still somewhat muddy, was immediately paved with a gravel path to avoid the mud, and it immediately became more comfortable for people to walk on.

Kong Jie explained in a timely manner: "After such a stone road is quickly built, no matter how muddy the road is, our bicycles, modified motorcycles and other vehicles can pass it.

If the muddy road is exaggerated, sleepers and wood can also be laid.

In addition, these materials are not disposable, and can be recycled after we use them up quickly for continuous use.

In order to avoid the situation that our various combat vehicles cannot pass after encountering muddy mud roads.

Lao Li, Lao Ding, what do you think of this idea? "

Ding Wei, who was the first to come back to his senses, nodded and said with emotion: "Okay, old Kong, I'm really curious about how your head grows.

It has been raining heavily these days, and the roads along our base area are so muddy that it is difficult for people to walk, let alone a car.

Using this method may not be so convenient, but it can solve a lot of troubles.

In this way, our heavy weapons, our artillery, and all kinds of vehicles can be transported. At worst, it will be slower, but it is much better than the devil being completely blocked by the muddy road and unable to move an inch.

When the devil's trucks, cars, armored vehicles and tanks were all stuck in the mud and could not move, our heavy weapons and various combat vehicles were all transported to the front line using these gravel roads.

After the battle broke out, the level of mechanized combat between our two sides was directly reversed. I think it's enough for the little devil to drink a pot! "

Kong Jie laughed and said, "So even God is helping us!
The so-called Heavenly Crash Operation, if the element of this day is missing, I think it is almost meaningless! "

Soon after, the patter of light rain was replaced by torrential rain.

No longer had the previous ambitions, Guancun, the old devil who hid in a temporary tent to hide from the rain, looked old like an old man at the end of his life.

He looked at the pouring rain with some sadness, and for a moment he was in a state of disarray.

"It's raining too hard, the troops can only take shelter from the rain temporarily, and can't continue marching!" The devil's chief of staff rushed over in the rain, and reported the situation helplessly

Guan Cun nodded, and said: "Then wait until the rain is a little lighter, and continue to retreat to the outside!"

"Fortunately, this heavy rain is not only tormenting us, the enemy will also be greatly affected." The devil's chief of staff said a word of relief.

"How's the logistics going?"

"Please rest assured, general. Although our army has lost a lot of food and grass due to the hasty evacuation, fortunately, we are well-prepared. There are large amounts of food stored by Kawashima and the others in the strongholds along the way, which can continue to supply the troops."

"Yaoxi!" Guan Cun nodded, feeling better at last.

In Taiyuan City, the Japanese Army was stationed at the Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

Heavy raindrops slammed down, and Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the Devil's First Army in the headquarters, was also in a state of disarray.

At this time, the old devil was scolding Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China.

He didn't have the guts to scold Okamura in front of him, but he still complained a few words in private.

Not long ago, the Niudao Manchu Division was advancing towards the Huangyadong area of ​​the Eighth Route Army. The battle was in full swing. The Sixth Division was deeply trapped in the Iron Triangle Base of the Eighth Route Army. The regiment and the First Army are also carrying out a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army in the base area.

The Eighth Route Army, mainly composed of the 120th Division in the northern Shanxi area, suddenly had a large number of main forces appearing around Taiyuan, and launched an attack on the fortifications outside Taiyuan.

From this, Yoshio Yanmatsu reported to the general headquarters that the Eighth Route had a tendency to besiege Taiyuan City.

But Okamura, the old devil, was very confident about this. He even comforted Yansong, saying that it was absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to really attack Taiyuan, but it was just a superficial battle to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

In the end, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Okamura still mobilized some troops to return to Taiyuan.

But obviously, he didn't take Taiyuan's siege to heart at all.

Northwest Military Command.

The teacher laughed a lot, "You little devil is looking down on us! What do you mean, you really think we are just playing tricks and dare not plot against Taiyuan?"

The Thunder operation that followed quickly unfolded.

The Japanese army rushed north and south along the Tongpu Line to the reinforcements in Taiyuan, and then they were all blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops along the way.

The 120th Division officially entered the second stage of troops, through the minefields, destroying railways, roads, etc. to block the reinforcements of the devils.

Not only that.

The teacher has long heard of the strength of a commando team.

As early as when Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led the mobile force to surprise Datong, the teacher specially asked Kong Jie to help the 120th Division to build a secret combat force similar to a commando force.

This time it really came in handy.

The teacher has been thinking about the plan to attack the Japanese Mingbao Airport.

This Mingbao airport was once destroyed by a team of assault troops. At that time, even the fuel stored in the airport was blown up by it. The devils suffered a lot of losses because of this. Even the commander-in-chief Okamura, who was far away in Beiping, was furious because of this.

After fully learning the lesson, the Japanese army specially strengthened the defense of Mingbao Airport, expanded the fortifications to ten kilometers away, and built many permanent aircraft forts.

But this time, because of the fighting everywhere in North China, it was almost a mess, and the devil's troops were stretched.

A large number of troops originally used to defend the airport were not enough to carry out a large-scale defense after being deployed.

The defensive circle also shrank back.

The teacher formulated a combat plan, using the special operations force as a special artillery to guide the troops, and then using the long-range howitzers of the 120th division mobile force to attack the airport camp and runway from a long distance.

When the devil's guard troops go to drive away the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops, they will use mobile troops to detour and destroy the enemy.

At this time, the secret infiltration force raided the airport through an underground tunnel secretly built by the local military workers.

What does the teacher want to do?

Not only must he take down the devil's airport, but he must also steal all the devil's planes.

In this regard, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong set an excellent example, which made these commanders realize that directly blowing up the devil's airport is really a waste of things. The devil's plane was seized and returned directly.

In Yan'an, when the leaders learned that the Eighth Route Army also had an aviation unit, let alone how happy they were. The video of the aviation unit recorded by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong couldn't help watching it every few days.

The international reporters came and played it again.

There are international friends coming, play it again.

Returned overseas Chinese compatriots are here, let's play it again.

It is simply the best meeting ceremony.

The teacher thought to himself that he had to come here for a while.

For this reason, he has been planning for more than half a year, and this passage secretly built by the armed forces team behind the enemy has long been prepared.

In addition, before this official operation, the teacher specially invited some professional pilots from a team, including some pilots and fighters who drove a team of aviation units to launch the first air strike against the Japanese army.

It also includes some American pilots who came to help.

There are quite a lot of noodles.

As long as the operation goes well, all the ghost planes at Mingbao Airport will take off for him!
Under the ferment of various factors.

This is how Yan Song scolded Okamura.

Yan Song stared at the map every day, burning with anxiety. First, the mobile reinforcements on the north side of the Tongpu Line were blocked by the northern hills, and it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive in time.

Then the fortress in the west of Taiyuan City was captured by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army even used the heavy artillery fortifications specially prepared by Yoshio Shinozuka in the early stage to continuously bomb the fortifications in the outer city of Taiyuan.

The fortification group in the east of the city was raided by the Eighth Route Army, lost half of its position, and was in a bitter battle.

The mobile troops on the south side of the Tongpu line joined the Jinzhong reinforcements, but were blocked on the south plain of the city, and Suqian Airport fell.

The mobile troops that launched a counterattack in Taiyuan City were defeated in the south of the city, and had no choice but to retreat into the city. Two armored trains were lost. These armored trains and the freight and passenger trains at the stations outside the city were all driven away by the Eighth Route Army. Reinforcement attack difficulty.

The situation at that time was:

The northern part of Taiyuan City is hilly, and it is easier to insert Yangqu to the northern part of Taiyuan to stop the reinforcements from the devils.

The highland in the west of the city is relatively far away from the urban area, and it has to cross the Linfen River. It is an isolated stronghold. The 120th Division invited the original Taiyuan City Defense Commander, that is, Fu Yisheng, to borrow information and send elite troops to carry out a surprise attack through the secret passage originally designed by the Jinsui Army. .

The purpose of doing this is to lay a nail in the west of Taiyuan City, so that the siege troops can attack when they advance, and they can defend when they retreat.

In particular, there are ten-year-style 120mm cannon squadrons and 45-type heavy cannon squadrons on the heavy artillery position in the west of the city. They are hidden in the fortifications and can bombard Taiyuan City by turning around.

The shelling range is far enough to cover most of the core area where the Japanese army is located.

At the same time, with the assistance of signal lights in a base area, the air team of the independent detachment carried out air strikes on the Japanese artillery positions with heavy bombs on the Dongshan Fortress of Taiyuan City at night.

Cooperate with a mobile unit of Ding Wei and the troops directly under the 129th Division to raid the Dongshan position.

There are heavily guarded by devils there, so you don't need to shoot down all of them, you just need to blow up the heavy artillery positions of the devil's fortress, occupy the high ground near Wusu Airport, and cover the 120th division's mobile troops to attack the airport.

In this way, there are nails from the Eighth Route Army in the east, west, and north of the city; after the south of the city evacuated the airport, they feigned an attack on the south of the city, and by the way set up a blocking position to block the Jinzhong reinforcements, and they could get artillery support from the highlands in the east of the city.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army's blocking position in the north of the city is a hilly area. It is no problem to use the undulating hills to set up multiple lines of defense.

However, the southern part of the city is a large plain. Brigadier Zhang asked Kong Jie for advice on defensive methods. Kong Jie thought about it. In addition to arranging a large number of minefields, setting up real and fake fortifications, and special engineering vehicles digging positions.

You can also learn from Lieutenant General Huang Wuwo, who was born in civil engineering and known as the Flesh Mill in the Battle of Songhu, using all available resources at hand to build extra fortifications.

"Take the transport trucks of the devil industrial and mining enterprises, the passenger cars of the passenger transport enterprises, the train carriages of Taiyuan Station, and the motorized armored trains that were seized outside the city, and put them all on the position to form a steel defense line.

Of course, the engine and other accessories are all removed when time permits, leaving an iron carriage filled with sandbags as a bunker.

After our fortifications are completed, we have fortifications in the open plains, and the little devils can see them all at a glance, so this battle will be easy to fight. "

After hearing this, Brigadier Zhang boasted that Kong Jie's brain is really not something that ordinary people can grow.

So in the direction of the south of the city, the direction that the devil thought could be used as a mobile breakthrough, which was absolutely impossible to be completely blocked by the eight roads, was completely cut off!
According to this line of thinking, not long after, the Japanese army met the enemy on three sides of Taiyuan City, and the Dongshan Fortification Group was captured by the Eighth Route Army in half.

The Japanese artillery position was blown up, and the two sides faced each other across the hill, and no one could do anything for the time being.

Poor Japanese troops in Taiyuan City, all escape routes were completely blocked, and reinforcements did not arrive, so Taiyuan City became an isolated city.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the city were panicked for a while, and no one knew what other methods the Eighth Route Army had never used.

Under such an offensive, not to mention Yansong and Okamura, it is estimated that the Emperor Devils will be sure that the Eighth Route Army is going to attack Taiyuan!

Japanese First Army Command.

The old devil Yansong watched the Eighth Route Army approaching the outer city little by little. The Eighth Route Army's extended fortifications were everywhere outside the city. The artillery strikes intensified, and more and more numbers appeared.

In particular, the radio department monitored more and more communication signals.

This all shows that the siege headquarters of the Eighth Route Army at all levels have been in place one after another.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Yoshio Iwamatsu's heart was completely disturbed...
