Check in from the bright sword

"This is just one of the evidences." Wang Yan said, "In addition to the obvious decline in the Japanese army's individual combat power, there is another more important evidence, that is, the replenishment speed of the Japanese army's weapons and ammunition is also slow!"

"In 37, the Japanese army had just finished the Battle of Xinkou, and was able to launch the Battle of Taiyuan immediately. It is to make up in seconds, and make up for the losses in the front line immediately."

"Then how about the replenishment speed of the Japanese army now?"

"Let's not talk about anything else, I will only talk about the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi."

"Last May, after the First Army finished the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, it took a defensive position against our army for half a year, and was no longer able to launch a large-scale raid!"

"This spring sweep, according to past practice, should be launched in April."

"Because April happens to be the season for spring planting, the Japanese army launched a raid on our base area at this time, which can just destroy the spring plowing in my base area and attack the food production and material supply in my base area."

"But in fact? Just because our independent regiment robbed the Japanese army, the spring raid of the First Army was postponed for a full two months, and it was not launched until early June!"

"This is enough to show that the replenishment speed of the Japanese army's weapons and ammunition is not as good as before!"

"Based on these two points, I dare to assert that this spring raid is the last major raid by the Japanese army in Shanxi. As long as we survive this year, our Eighth Route Army will develop unprecedentedly in the future!"

The brigade commander couldn't help exchanging glances with deputy brigade commander Han.

Wang Yan's analysis of the battle situation in Shanxi was almost the same as the judgment of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters also judged that this year will be the most difficult year since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

But at the same time, this is also the darkness before the dawn, and the situation will change after this year.

Although the reason behind this is very simple, and it seems nothing unusual to talk about it, but there is a strong ability to identify and analyze hidden in it.

Wang Yan is a natural consultant!

It's a pity that this kid doesn't want to be a staff officer.

"Wonderful! Your analysis of the battle situation in Shanxi is very good!" The brigade commander couldn't help but praise Wang Yan, and then said, "Now you talk about the current test, how will our 386th brigade pass?"

Wang Yan said: "That depends on what you want, brigade commander?"

Chapter 248 Attacking Taiyuan

The brigade commander said: "What I want now is to implement the order of the head of the headquarters, get rid of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, and transfer to Orzhou to establish an anti-Japanese base area."

Wang Yan said: "It's actually not difficult."

"Not difficult?" The brigade commander said in astonishment.

"It's really not difficult." Wang Yan smiled. "Although Yoshio Shinozuka's backhand is insidious, once we detect it in advance, there is no threat. It is actually very easy to crack."

"It's easy to say." Captain Cheng said, "How to crack it?"

"Just mobilize the Japanese army." Wang Yan said.

"How to mobilize?" Deputy Brigadier Han said, "At present, our 386th Brigade has a lot of supplies and heavy weapons, and the marching speed may not be faster than the Japanese army."

"That's it." Cheng Tuanchang echoed, "Don't exhaust yourself when the Japanese army fails to mobilize in the end."

"No." Wang Yan said, "Mobilizing the Japanese army does not necessarily require the main force of the 386th brigade. Sending a regiment with heavy equipment and posing as an attack on Taiyuan will definitely be able to mobilize the Japanese army."

"Say what?!"

"Attack Taiyuan?!"

Commander Cheng and Deputy Brigadier Han were startled at the same time.

Li Yunlong couldn't help but glance at Wang Yan.

Damn, this idea is so exciting!

The brigade commander said: "You mean, your independent regiment will pretend to be the main force of the 386th brigade and attack Taiyuan?"

"Yes." Wang Yan said, "But there is one thing, the number of people can be bluffed, but heavy equipment is difficult to fool the Japanese aerial reconnaissance, so the brigade commander had better transfer the artillery battalion of the brigade headquarters to the independent regiment temporarily."

"This way it will be more realistic, Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely believe it."

The brigade commander immediately frowned into a ball, but Li Yunlong almost laughed out loud.

Damn it, Staff Officer Wang, you can be a jerk, this is to avenge my father!

But Wang Yan went on to say: "Just wait for our independent regiment to lure away the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, and the main force of our 386th Brigade will be able to calmly advance westward to Orzhou and restore Orzhou's anti-Japanese base area."

The brigade commander said: "How did your independent regiment get away?"

"Brigade Commander, you don't need to worry about this." Li Yunlong said, "Anyway, we have a solution."

The Brigadier couldn't help but look at Deputy Brigadier Han. To be honest, he was really moved.

If the equipment of an artillery battalion can be exchanged for the safe breakthrough of the main force of the 386 brigade, it is certainly worth it.

But the brigade commander soon remembered what Wang Yan said just now, it depends on what he wants?The implication is that he seems to be able to ask for more than this?

"This method is indeed good." The brigade commander nodded and said again, "But from your tone just now, it seems that I can ask for more? Is it?"

"Yes." Wang Yan said, "Brigade Commander, you can ask for more!"

The brigade commander said: "Then tell me, how can there be more methods?"

Wang Yan said: "If this method is followed, the main force of the 386th Brigade can be basically preserved, and our independent regiment still has a great chance to break through the encirclement, but the Taiyue Military Region will inevitably suffer heavy losses!"

"Because the Japanese army's raid on the Taiyue Military Region has not been lifted!"

The brigade commander said: "You mean, it is still possible to force the Japanese army to lift the raid on the Taiyue Military Region?"

"Yes, this possibility exists." Wang Yan said, "but the specific operation needs to be reversed from just now, sending a regiment to pretend to be the main force, and attract the 37th Division of the Japanese Army to the front line of Fenyang."

"The main force of the 386 brigade went northward quietly, heading straight for Taiyuan City!"

"As long as the main force of our 386th Brigade appears outside Taiyuan City, the First Army will inevitably lift the raid on the Taiyue base."

"The reason for this is very simple. The gains from destroying our Taiyue base area are far from enough to make up for the losses that the Japanese army will suffer from the loss of Taiyuan!"

"Because the impact of Taiyuan's fall is too great!"

"This will definitely shake the foundation of the Japanese army in Shanxi!"

The brigade commander said: "You mean, really hit Taiyuan?"

"Yes, really fight Taiyuan!" Wang Yan said, "Because only if we really fight, it is possible to force the Japanese army who participated in the mopping up in Taiyue base area to return to aid."

After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "There is another big benefit in fighting Taiyuan!"
