Li Yunlong was very unwilling.
The last time he attacked Taiyuan and failed to capture the inner city, he always felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.
The key to pulling out this thorn is Taiyuan City.
If Huang Yu really targets Taiyuan City and takes him down, the thorn in his heart will naturally be pulled out.
But what Kong Jie said was true.
The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong had just experienced a big battle. Although it won, it also paid a huge price for itself.
Most of the soldiers in the fully-restored team were untrained recruits, and many soldiers had not even learned to shoot.
Letting them go to the battlefield like this is tantamount to sending them to death.
Taiyuan is the seat of the Japanese headquarters in Shanxi. No matter how small the garrison is, there are still strong fortifications available. It will take at least four to five thousand people to capture it.
Today's Yizhong base area has not even 2,000 veterans, let alone 4,000 or 5,000 people.
Even if they get it all together, it will affect the foundation of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
So I just thought about attacking Taiyuan, and there was nothing I could do no matter how unwilling I was.
Unless he has the ability to spread the beans into soldiers.
Otherwise you can only give up.
He sighed deeply and said: "Xiao Huang..."
"Don't blame me for throwing cold water on you..."
"I think Lao Kong is right: the current Yizhong base area does not have the strength to attack Taiyuan!"
"The conditions are here, we must not think of eating it and becoming a fat man."
"You have to eat your food one bite at a time. If you are in a hurry, you will easily choke. The gain outweighs the loss!"
Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong in surprise.
Normally, once he vetoed one of his battle plans, this kid would definitely yell that he was a coward and a coward...
Today, not only did he not scold himself for being a coward, but he also helped him persuade Xiao Huang.
Li Yunlong blushed when Kong Jie saw him, and said unhappily: "What are you looking at..."
"I, Li Yunlong, am not an unreasonable person... As long as what you say is right, I will definitely support you..."
"If you talk about the army, even if we are old comrades from the same class, I will call you a coward and a coward..."
Kong Jie smiled and didn't answer, then turned his attention to Huang Yu: "Xiao Huang..."
"Our strength is here, and there are only so many troops we can mobilize... You have to think carefully about how to fight..."
Huang Yu finally came to his senses from his deep thoughts, stared at Kong Jie and Li Yunlong and said, "Captain...Captain Li..."
"I have a bold idea..."
"Aren't we going to raid Tianjin Pier in the future? Why not use Taiyuan City as a practical exercise?"
"Let's take a long trip to Taiyuan..."
"As long as there is a chance, take down Taiyuan City..."
"As the headquarters of the Shanxi Garrison, the capital city of Taiyuan Province, and the location of the Taiyuan Arsenal... the city must have a large amount of weapons and ammunition and the fuel we urgently need."
"The special forces require a large amount of fuel to support troop training... I have been thinking of ways to get fuel these past few days..."
"If we can really capture Taiyuan... the problem of lack of fuel for the troops will be solved..."
Kong Jie frowned and answered: "It's a good idea... but how can we get so many troops to raid Taiyuan..."
"And Taiyuan is also different from Tianjin..."
"From our base to Tianjin Pier, there is almost no need to pass through the small Japanese military town..."
"It's different from here to Taiyuan..."
Kong Jie pointed to a road on the map and said: "This is the nearest road to our raid on Taiyuan..."
"There are at least ten checkpoints and strongholds controlled by little devils along the route."
"Any stronghold that blocks us halfway may cause a devastating blow to the raiding force."
"Taiyuan City is also different from Tianjin Pier..."
"There are no solid city defenses at Tianjin Pier, only two ground defense lines. As long as we bring enough artillery and the powerful assault capabilities of tanks and armored vehicles, we can easily break in."
"Taiyuan is divided into an inner city and an outer city, both of which have strong fortifications. Artillery and chariots can only play a supporting role in the battle. Heavy troops must be assembled to take it down."
"So a raid on Tianjin Pier and a raid on Taiyuan are completely different things."
Li Yunlong flashed an expression of approval again: "Lao Kong is right."
"In general, the difficulty of raiding Taiyuan is much greater than that of raiding Tianjin Pier."
Huang Yu suddenly answered: "The harder it is, the better..."
"If we can capture Taiyuan City... we will definitely be able to raid Tianjin Pier in the future."
"Captain... I haven't figured out how to fight yet... After all, I don't know the specific situation in Taiyuan City yet."
"But I think the idea is very feasible."
"If you do it, it will be like killing three birds with one stone..."
"It not only helped the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi to relieve the siege, but also helped the special forces obtain the fuel that the troops urgently needed. It also allowed the troops to train, so that everyone will be more confident in raiding the Tianjin dock in the future."
"I suggest that we immediately advise the headquarters. They have many sources of intelligence and ask them to help us find out the true situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan. The more detailed the better."
"With the support of intelligence, I can formulate a combat plan, and only then can everyone have the opportunity to judge whether this idea is feasible!"
"Otherwise, no matter what we say now, it will be false and have no reference value."
Kong Jie nodded in agreement: "You are right..."
"Whether it is feasible or not depends on making a plan and deducing it on the map, then we can make a respectful decision."
"Just do it..."
"I will send a telegram to the head of the headquarters now and ask them to help investigate the enemy situation in Taiyuan..."
…………
When the Eighth Route Army's former enemy headquarters received a call back from Kong Jie, not only the chief of staff looked confused, but even the deputy commander-in-chief couldn't figure out what they were going to do.
Finally, the chief of staff made a bold guess based on the repeated battle experiences of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong!
"Boss..."
"Our idea is to let Kong Jie and others send troops to raid the Japanese rear supply line and cut off the ammunition supply of the Japanese and puppet troops' mopping up troops."
"These boys won't be stimulated. Do you want to go to Taiyuan?"
"Otherwise, why are you keeping an eye on Taiyuan and asking us to investigate the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City?"
The deputy commander was frightened by this bold inference and asked with doubt on his face: "They are not so courageous..."
"Moreover……"
"Even if they want to raid Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong can't spare so many troops with its current strength?"
The chief of staff continued to speculate: "With Li Yunlong and Huang Yu here, there is really nothing they dare not do."
"I remember that boy Li Yunlong once made a big statement... If you give him the strength of a division, you will dare to attack Taiyuan."
"The total number of troops in the Yi Zhong Base is much more powerful than one division."
"With the help of that clever guy Huang Yu, Li Yunlong will definitely be more courageous."
"I remember that they once attacked Taiyuan, but they failed to capture the inner city. They must have been very unwilling. Now that they have the opportunity to attack Taiyuan again, they will definitely not let it go."
The deputy commander was moved and continued with a frown: "There is indeed a motive, but what are they going to use to attack Taiyuan..."
