Wang Chengzhu said: "There is definitely a risk in attacking Taiyuan Airport, but compared with the benefits after success, this risk is completely worth mentioning."

"As for the issue of whether the Japanese aviation will take off as soon as possible, they have no chance, because I will let the artillery battalion blow up the enemy planes on the tarmac and the airport runway as soon as possible."

Seeing that Wang Chengzhu had made up his mind, Sun Yuliang said nothing more. At worst, he would risk his life to accompany the gentleman.

Immediately, Wang Chengzhu stood up, came to the huge combat map on the wall, pointed at two locations on the map with his baton and said: "The Japanese army has two airports in Taiyuan, namely Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport."

"The Xincheng Airport is 15 kilometers north of Taiyuan City, while the Wusu Airport is 15 kilometers east of Taiyuan City."

"In addition to their own flight groups, these two airports also have a garrison group stationed respectively."

"Among them, there is a Japanese military depot between Wusu Airport and Taiyuan City. There is about a Japanese reinforcements squadron inside. It is also a transfer station from Wusu Airport to Taiyuan City.

It can also be said to be a warehouse at Wusu Airport."

“Compared to Xincheng Airport in the north of the city, the location of Wusu Airport in the east of the city is undoubtedly more favorable for us.

At the very least, after we complete the battle plan, it will be much easier to retreat from the east of the city.

Therefore, my plan is to attack Wusu Airport in the east of the city."

"Now let me talk about the situation at Wusu Airport."

"The Japanese army pulled a ring of electrified barbed wire around Wusu Airport. They also dug a moat with a width of more than 5 meters outside the barbed wire. Outside the moat, there are large minefields..."

After Wang Chengzhu described the situation at Wusu Airport in detail, he changed the topic and said: "Okay, now let me talk about the specific combat plan. First of all, Langya is responsible for opening up a safe road for us to approach Wusu Airport.

.

If the enemy checkpoint cannot be bypassed, remove it directly.

Then the main force of each battalion will take the opportunity to reach the outside of Wusu Airport."

"There are large minefields outside the Japanese airport, and we don't have enough minesweepers. Even if we had them, it would be impossible to complete the minesweeping mission under the Japanese's nose.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to storm the airport. In this case, we simply let the artillery battalion carry out a covering bombing!"

"Then concentrate our forces and attack Wusu Military Station!"

"In the end, if there is a chance, we will fight back and take over Wusu Airport in one go. If there is no chance, we will retreat..."

…

The other side.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The vice president has returned to the headquarters from the 386 Brigade Headquarters.

The deputy chief of staff was reviewing documents when he heard footsteps coming from the door. He subconsciously looked up and saw the deputy CEO walking in from the outside with a happy face.

"Boss, you're back."

"I see you are so happy, you must have gained a lot from this trip, right?"

The deputy boss smiled and said: "Hehehe, just a little bit, I just asked Chen* how many artillery pieces he wanted."

The deputy chief of staff was so smart that he guessed it right away and said with a smile: "It's those artillery pieces on the armored train, right? I have to say, those artillery pieces are really precious, especially the 150mm caliber one."

It's a heavy artillery, but it's quite inconvenient to transport it."

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff changed the topic and said, "It's just that Chen* is notoriously stingy. Will he be willing to hand over these artillery pieces to the headquarters?"

The deputy CEO's face sank: "I opened my mouth, how dare he refuse to give it?"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "That's right. By the way, with these artillery pieces, and a few more infantry cannons, rapid-fire cannons and mortars, we can almost form an artillery regiment, right?"

The vice president smiled like a hero and said, "That's what I think."

Immediately, the two began to discuss the formation of an artillery regiment.

Artillery is a technical branch, and the Eighth Route Army has almost no formal artillery establishment.

Among them, the newly formed regiment almost didn't even have artillery.

There are some artillerymen in several main regiments, but the most are only one class, and they are basically all from humble backgrounds, and none of them have graduated from a major.

In other words, the Second Independent Regiment has an artillery battalion, which is by far the largest artillery organization of the Eighth Route Army.

So, the deputy boss and the deputy chief of staff all focused on Wang Chengzhu, thinking whether to directly move Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion over, or to ask Wang Chengzhu to help train a group of artillery troops.

At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly rushed in from outside. He walked quickly to the vice president, saluted and reported: "Report, there is an urgent call from Taiyuan."

Seeing the serious look on the communications soldier's face, the deputy boss immediately realized something was wrong. He took the message and read it carefully. Then his whole expression became serious and his brows furrowed.

The deputy chief of staff asked in confusion: "Boss, what happened?"

Vice President: “When our underground party organization in Taiyuan City sent us a telegram last night, the signal was detected by the Japanese.

Then the entire contact point was taken over by the Japanese, except for the liaison officer Sun Yujiao, who successfully broke through with the radio station under the cover of her comrades.

The rest of the comrades, including Lao Liu, either died on the spot or were captured by the Japanese army."

The deputy chief of staff's face also became extremely solemn: "Comrade Liu is an old party member and has made outstanding contributions to our party. We must find a way to find out his life and death!"

If he is still alive, we will rescue him and all the comrades at the contact point at all costs."

The vice president nodded with deep understanding: "This is natural. All our comrades must be rescued!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "In this case, we must use that hidden weapon."

Boss: "Well, then I'll leave this matter to you. We must find out the situation and whereabouts of Lao Liu and the others in the shortest possible time."

"Yes!" The deputy chief of staff nodded solemnly, and then went to the communications department in person, asking the chief of the communications department to take out a secret radio and send a telegram.

…

Half an hour later.

Taiyuan.

Japanese First Army Headquarters.

Information class.

Chef Sun Dayi took advantage of Intelligence Section Chief Mori Iijima to find him secretly while he was in the toilet, and thrust a wooden box into his hand.

Iijimamori weighed the wooden box in his hand. It was heavy, weighing at least several kilograms.

He opened the lid of the box and took a look. The golden yellow croakers were all there, 10 of them, which almost blinded him.

Iijima Mori put away the wooden box and lowered his voice: "What do you want to know?"

Sun Dayi: "We want to know the situation of Liu Dong, the liaison officer of the Taiyuan underground party, and their whereabouts."

"good."

Iijima Mori shook his body, then picked up his pants and left the latrine.

Sun Dayi waited for a few minutes and then left the hut...
