Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

If it weren't for publishing books on this platform, Li Yuexuan would agree with Li Yunlong's idea! According to the strength and equipment level of the Beishan Detachment, they only need to mobilize the New Second Regiment to block Shouyang, and the New First Regiment to take the Niangzi Pass. The Beishan Detachment will take the independent regiment and release heavy firepower to Yangquan, and soon they will be able to capture the county again.

Then, they marched forward and directly liberated the line from Shouyang to Jinzhong. The Beishan Detachment pressed directly to Taiyuan, and the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment blocked the 69th Division of the Japanese in the direction of Taigu. At the same time, the troops in Jizhong were fully deployed to besiege Shimen and nearby counties. The troops in northwest Shanxi went south to attack Taiyuan with the Beishan Detachment and then took it in one fell swoop. The Taiyue District could also move westward to block the enemy reinforcements.

At this time, if the Jinsui Army, which was hiding in the mountains, came out to grab the territory, they would have wiped out the Jinsui Army, which only had tens of thousands of people left! Pushing westward, driving the Jinsui Army to the Yellow River, and then bombing this side with the heavy mortars and mountain cannons made by the Hexi Arsenal, they would be able to completely eliminate the Jinsui Army.

And there is a reason to deal with the Jinsui Army. The Jinxi Incident was enough for the Eighth Route Army to kill the Jinsui Army! And it’s not like Yan Laoxi had contacted the devils secretly and wanted to surrender? It’s appropriate to beat him!
After dealing with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, the main force of the northwest Shanxi defended Pingxingguan and Yanmenguan, and they could also set up a defense line at Xinkou to guard against the counterattack of the Mongolian Division and the Kwantung Army. Meanwhile, the Independent Regiment, the Beishan Detachment, and the troops from the Taiyue District could attack together and wipe out all the devils in the southern section of the Tongpu Railway! In the future, they could also deal with the devils in the Lu'an area!
Moreover, the main force left in northern Shaanxi should not be idle at this time. They should directly send out the newly equipped armored forces to launch an active attack on Hu Zongnan in the south. With Hu Zongnan's current military level, although he has a large number of troops, he will be in chaos when he encounters the devils. It is highly likely that he will not have the time to go east through Tongguan and fight with the Eighth Route Army for Yuncheng and Zhongtiao Mountain...

Well, Li Yuexuan really thought too much. At least the Shanxi Suiyuan Army will not watch you attack Taiyuan. They will definitely come to help, but they will attack the Eighth Route Army instead of the devils! Don't doubt whether the Shanxi Suiyuan Army will do this, because in the subsequent wars, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army fought with our army together with the incorporated devils!
There is also the Central Army, which is weak, but has a sense of justice and is equipped with American equipment. The Central Army is obviously not good at fighting the Japanese, but it is good at fighting the Eighth Route Army, so it is hard to say how it will perform.

But, but, what if we move the time of the attack back to June, July or August? At that time, the Japanese were fighting in Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, and the Central Army suffered a great defeat. Hu Zongnan, who had been stationed in Xi'an, was so scared that he almost ran away... What would happen if the Eighth Route Army launched the attack at this time and still had the war supplies stored in the past few months?
Well, these things can only be thought about, otherwise the book will be gone...

Li Yuexuan could only think about it, because judging from the current situation, the Eighth Route Army really did not have the ability to launch a full-scale offensive, at least not a long-term offensive! If they had to fight, they could only fight a short, high-intensity battle, and then call it a day, nibbling away at the devil's controlled area bit by bit.

This seems a bit unreasonable. Why is it high intensity? This high intensity does not refer to the high intensity of the soldiers, but the continuous high intensity output of firepower, directly pushing forward with firepower!

But now, the problem that the Beishan Detachment encountered was not insufficient firepower, not insufficient manpower, and not even insufficient war reserves. After all, they were guarding the Liangjia Village Arsenal. Although the Chinese New Year had passed in January and the Taiyue District still came to collect money from them, they still had some financial resources!

The main problem that Beishan is facing now is that there are no decent devils to fight, or in other words, there are no decent devils worth fighting!
Although the headquarters' advice is to take the offensive, it also depends on whether there are any enemies or strongholds around the base that are being attacked! In this regard, because last year's battle was too successful, the conditions of the Beishan base cannot compare with other bases!

For example, the best conditions in Jiaodong, Binhai, and Luzhong were surrounded by the devils and puppet troops, as well as some stubborn troops. They could fight anyone and still occupy the place after the fight. Central China was actually not bad either. The New Fourth Army developed well and indeed fought a beautiful battle, liberating a vast area with a population of 100 million east of Baoying and Huai'an. Although that was a later story, it was not impossible to fight at this time!
The only thing is that here in the Beishan base, if we want to find some decent enemies to deal with, we really need to think twice.

To the south? The south is where the headquarters is located, and there is no enemy to fight; to the east? The Third Battalion has always been on the defensive at Jiulongguan. If we take the initiative to attack, we have to enter the Jixi base area, which will steal work from our comrades. Then to the west? To the west, we have to attack Shouyang and Jinzhong, and make the Japanese angry, and then we can call the troops back?
So we can't fight westward, at least not in this period of time. We have to wait a few months, let the devils really fight with the Central Army, and when we can't spare troops, we can consider whether to fight westward. And at that time, we don't need to consider the attitude of the Central Army, at least we don't have to worry about Hu Zongnan's troops going north! If he dares to go, the troops left behind will dare to accept the equipment he sent and let him be the transport captain!

So, we can only fight northward? The key is that the north is the Taiyue area. The Japanese have abandoned the huge city that Li Yunlong's supply line had been occupied for a long time. The entire base area is nominally controlled by the Japanese, except for a railway line in the middle, but it is actually connected!

So, where should we attack? Who should we attack?
While Li Yuexuan was thinking about this problem, everyone in the conference room was also discussing this problem! It was almost the same as Li Yuexuan's idea. In fact, no one had a good direction to attack!
In fact, in the current situation, the only direction that the Beishan Detachment can take action is Jingxing! That's right, it's the county town east of Niangzi Pass and west of Shimen, the county town that attacked Changshengkou twice, the county town that guards Jingxing. Moreover, we can't attack the county town, we have to leave the county town for the devils to prevent them from being too stimulated.

"So, the only place we can attack is Jingxing, right?" Ding Wei asked at the end of the discussion.

"Well, in addition to Jingxing, we can also go north from Jingxing and capture the strongholds around Pingshan!" Zhu Xingyu added.

"These are just small battles. Who should we send?" Li Yunlong asked a more practical question.

"This..." Everyone present here looks at me, I look at you, and we all want to attack a stronghold for fun. After all, there are too few opportunities to fight.

But just as everyone was preparing to scramble, the conference room was pushed open by the communications staff officer, who brought an order from headquarters... (End of this chapter)
