Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 244 Of course it is to fight Taiyuan
After the Zhongtiaoshan Battle ended, troops at all levels returned to their bases one after another.

Among them, the 120th Division retreated the fastest. In addition to returning to Northwest Shanxi to continue to shoulder the task of guarding the border area, the comrades had to return to the base area to cooperate with the villagers in planting potatoes.

After all, there are already signs of famine in the province, so the more food, the better.

The retreat of the 129th Division was relatively slow, mainly because the deputy commander ordered the four main regiments to go deep into Zhongtiao Mountain to clean up the remaining Japanese army.

It's a pity that the supply line for this battle is too long, and the continuous combat puts too much pressure on the logistics. After all, it is impossible to let the first air division airdrop supplies to the chasing troops every now and then.

As for the remaining enemies, they will naturally be handed over to the Central Army and the Jinsui Army.

Although within the entire Zhongtiao Mountain, only the Ninth Army of the Central Army, the No.90 Third Army, and the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army remained among the well-organized troops.

But with the strength of these three troops, it is enough to kill most enemies who have no supplies and lack heavy weapons.

As for the time issue, that's not the point. No one would mind letting the devils experience life in Southeast Asia in advance.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, an extremely interesting scene took place in the combat conference room at this time.

Our Captain Li perfectly explained what it means to be restless at this time. He sat stiffly in the position of the host and the guest, and the host next to him was his own brigade commander.

Since the deputy chief of staff owed Lao Li a drink, it was logical to drag him to the headquarters for dinner after the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan.

The meals on the table are rich, with fish, pork and vegetables.

It wasn't that the bosses were extravagant and wasteful. The fish was caught by the brigade commander himself from the river this morning, the pig was a paralyzed and incapable of producing pigs, and the vegetables were grown by the cooks at the headquarters.

The whole meal pays attention to the best use of everything, and it is not special at all.

Seeing the brigade commander pour himself a glass of Fenjiu, Li Yunlong forced an ugly smile, and the hands holding the wine glass couldn't stop shaking.

The deputy commander-in-chief, deputy chief of staff, division commander and brigade commander gathered together. Few people in the entire 129th Division could enjoy such treatment for a meal of this size.

Looking at his favorite general's uncomfortable appearance, the brigade commander's personality of being a fun person emerged again.He patted Li Yunlong's strong back, and said in a "cold" tone:

"Master Li, don't you usually like to drink? Why did you win the battle, but you are still twitching?"

"Are you complaining about my poor hospitality? Do you want me to find someone who can drink to accompany you? Let you drink to your heart's content."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present smiled and looked at Li Yunlong, as if there were three trials.

Although he knew that his brigade commander must be joking, but Lao Li still had a creepy feeling.Coupled with the teacher's smiling eyes, this scene is even scarier than jumping off the transport plane for the first time.

In order to break the situation, he stood up from his seat with a swish.With a serious face, he said righteously:

"What teacher, our 129th division has only one teacher!"

"The soldiers who are all preserved fruits are making a fuss during the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, everyone, please don't take it seriously!"

After the explanation, Lao Li picked up the glass and drank the Fenjiu in one gulp.Then he put the wine glass aside, showing no intention of continuing to drink.

Now at this table, the deputy commander-in-chief doesn't drink alcohol easily, and usually drinks tea.The teacher does not drink at all, and his biggest hobby is reading.

The brigade commander used to be able to drink a few sips, but now for the sake of his health, he quit smoking and drinking.

The only deputy chief of staff who could drink with him happened to be unable to drink freely due to physical reasons.

In this scene, if Li Yunlong dared to drink indiscriminately, the brigade commander would definitely make him unable to eat.

He even had the urge to go to Northwest Shanxi to stay for a few days. After all, Mr. Beard never left his pipe, and he could still have a few sips if he had nothing to do.

In the end, the deputy chief of staff spoke up, ending the fun of the fun.

"Okay, you guys don't tease him."

"Li Yunlong, take the wine with you when you go back later. You can just eat more food today, and you have business to talk about later."

After the chat was over, everyone began to summarize the gains.

This battle is of great significance to the Eighth Route Army. If the Hundred Regiments War is to allow troops at all levels of the three major military regions to master the tactics of positional warfare and encounter warfare.

In the Battle of Tiaoshan, the soldiers practiced infantry coordination and air-ground coordination.

As long as they go through another large-scale battle, troops at all levels will definitely be able to fully explain what is called superior firepower.

After all, a strong army must know what science and technology is.

Both commanders and combatants need to keep pace with the times, perfectly exert their own advantages on the battlefield, and achieve victory with minimal casualties.

The above is the harvest from the tactical point of view, and it is also a lot of money at the strategic level.

The first of these is naturally to solve the formidable enemy of the First Army of the North China Front Army. After losing the strength of three divisions and three brigades, Yoshio Iwamatsu is like a toothless tiger, letting others rub him round and flatten him.

After a short rest, the entire Jin Province will surely be restored.

Secondly, most of the Central Army withdrew from Zhongtiao Mountain, which made the development space of the Eighth Route Army extremely broad.

Although the Chinese side won this battle of southern Shanxi, it dealt a blow to the arrogance and vitality of the invaders.But considering the casualties of the Fifth Army and the No.14 Army, the battle can only be said to be a small victory for Guoguo.

In the current entire defense line, all defenders need to retreat to the south of the Yellow River for a temporary rest, and can only return to the interior of Zhongtiao Mountain after replenishing the source of troops again.

Such a bad situation will inevitably lead to Guoguo being unable to mobilize a large number of troops to fill the empty defense line in a short period of time.

This period of time is the golden period for the development of the Eighth Route Army. When the Zhongtiaoshan defense line returns to its pre-battle appearance, it is uncertain what TG can develop Jin Province into.

In the end, of course, the problem of the Jin family was dealt with. Yan Laoxi made a lot of foolish tricks this time.

After a battle, not only lost the hearts of the people, but also suffered a crushing defeat in public opinion.The only benefit in exchange is just a few counties with remote locations.

When the devils gave up the county seat, they not only looted all the valuables in the city, but also transported all the most important food, weapons and ammunition to Taiyuan.

The territory occupied by the Jinsui Army is almost empty.

That is to say, everyone did not pursue responsibility for the united front, otherwise he would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army can be said to kill three birds with one stone, solving many problems in one go.No matter from which angle you look at it, it's a win!

······
When everyone was discussing the gains of this campaign, Li Yunlong seized the opportunity to eat a lot, and really carried out the words of the deputy general staff to the end.

As a result, when eating the elbow, I accidentally choked myself.

Looking at Lao Li who was beating his chest frantically in an attempt to calm down, the brigade commander held his forehead helplessly, his face full of hatred for iron.

"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat! The First Marine Regiment has the best food in the entire army. How can you, the regiment commander, look like a reincarnated starving ghost?"

"Now tell me, what is the next goal of our three main forces? If you can't answer, you don't have to leave, just stay at the headquarters as a staff officer for a month."

Although Li Yunlong did not participate in the previous discussion, it does not mean that he did not think.

The reason why I don't express my own opinion is that everyone here is a big boss that I can't afford to provoke, and it is also because the Marine Regiment is not suitable for the next combat mission.

If skydiving over urban areas is too risky, the accident rate will be much higher than in the wild.Moreover, there are dense buildings in big cities, so it is not convenient to set up assembly areas.

The First Marine Regiment is the elite of the entire army, and Lao Li can't do things that are given for nothing.

"Where else can it be, it must be Taiyuan."

"Next, the devils must shrink their troops and rely on the city walls and a large number of fortifications to defend."

"At present, we have not trained in urban combat. This battle still has to rely on infantry coordination and air-ground coordination."

No one was surprised that Li Yunlong could give the correct answer straight away.

How can I say that they are now the heads of the special forces directly under the army. It would be too outrageous if they don't have this strategic vision.

As for the combat missions of the First Marine Regiment, the deputy commander-in-chief hasn't figured out the specific arrangements yet, but it's definitely not going to be thrown into Taiyuan City to fight street fights with devils.

No fool would do such a prodigal thing.

"Yes! It's Taiyuan!"

"Today we will have a good discussion and try to come up with a battle plan."

Since the fall of Taiyuan on November 1937, 11, this historical ancient city has been in dire straits, and the people in the city have been humiliated and ravaged even more.

There are many benefits to taking down Taiyuan. First of all, it is the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Front Army, and there must be a large amount of supplies stored in the city.

In this battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, no matter how conceited the devils were, they had to prepare all kinds of materials needed by the four divisions and three independent mixed brigades for a month.

Now that the First Army exists in name only, we must strive for these things as much as possible.

Secondly, Taiyuan's industrial foundation is very good, ranking first in the entire North China.Coupled with an arsenal, it is definitely a rare treasure.

In the end, of course, it is to hit the morale of the enemy and improve the confidence of the whole country in resisting Japan.

However, it is also difficult to attack Taiyuan. The city wall is about 12 meters high, 6-10 meters wide at the top, and 15 meters wide at the bottom.

For the Eighth Route Army without heavy artillery, it is a very challenging task to break through the many permanent fortifications and blast the city walls.

Once it attacks, the No.20 Sixth Division, Cavalry Group, and Independent Mixed Second Brigade in the north, and the [-]th Division and Independent Mixed First Brigade in the South will definitely provide reinforcements.

This means that the three major military regions need to coordinate operations, and the 120th Division and the Jinchaji Military Region must firmly stop the reinforcements from Hebei Province and Suiyuan.

Next, the four big brothers discussed the specific combat plan and emergency plan all day long, and did not come up with a first draft until after dark.

But what is certain now is that the scale of this battle will not be smaller than the Hundred Regiments War.

　Wake up and change it again, and the owed updates will be paid off.
