    Looking at the young and resolute face of Yang Jicai in front of him, Du Kaishan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Originally, Lao Chen wanted to transfer you to serve as deputy chief of staff. The war situation is complicated, and he currently has not enough staff who can take charge of his own role. I'm here  After taking office, several telegrams have been sent in succession. "

    "It's just that I have candidates on hand to carry out this task. Come on, come on, come on, there is still no suitable candidate. Lao Wang thought about it for a long time, and finally wanted to let you go. I still know your kid's ability.  Now that you're gone, I don't have a suitable replacement here."

    "However, although you are the most suitable person to carry out this task at present, considering the difficulty of this task, I don't want to make a final decision. I can give you a chance to choose. Are you ready to take over this task, or go to Lao Chen's job?"  Deputy Chief of Staff, it¡¯s up to you.¡±

    "In this battle, the First Division of the Taiyue Military Region and the Eighth Division of Shanxi-Sui can only provide partial support. The troops of the Hebei, Luyu and Southern Hebei Military Regions have just entered southeastern Shanxi and are still traveling day and night. The Taihang Military Region needs to be responsible for containing the forces along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway.  It is also difficult for the Japanese army to provide certain support.¡±

    "The main force of the Taiyue Military Region is still fighting fiercely with the 41st Division, trying to delay the Japanese reinforcements on the Datong battlefield. Even if the Hebei, Luyu and Jinan Military Region troops arrive, I'm afraid they won't be able to give you much support in a short time.  , so this task can be said to be a very difficult one, and you must be prepared to fight alone. "

    Du Kaishan's words made Yang Jicai somewhat hesitant. In the heart of the Japanese army, with less than one division of troops, without much support and the possibility of encountering enemy reinforcements at any time, he carried out long-distance raids and interspersed several rounds.  Hundreds of kilometers away, they directly rushed to Taiyuan, the core of Japanese rule in Shanxi.

    Although it is not to capture Taiyuan City, but to rescue the prisoners of war detained there and the workers trapped in Taiyuan, this is undoubtedly a task that is not easy to complete, especially the rescue targets are all weak prisoners of war and their families.  Workers with mouths and no military training.

    Although I have never been a prisoner of war, since I joined the Anti-Japanese War, I have a certain understanding of the cruelty of the Japanese army towards prisoners of war. Even if these prisoners of war are rescued, it will be difficult for them to recover without long-term training, let alone long-distance marches.  How to evacuate smoothly is a difficult task.

    This is not just combat matters, but also various aspects of the issue that he must consider. With no rear and limited support, it is conceivable how difficult it is to fight such a long-distance sneak attack.  Carrying such a huge baggage and fighting in what can be said to be a tiger's den and a wolf's den, the entire army may be destroyed if one is not careful.

    Compared with this task, it is undoubtedly much safer to go to Chen Hanzhang's place. Although Chen Hanzhang is still fighting alone in Suinan and northern Shanxi, Du Kaishan's arrival has already begun to adjust the deployment. This situation can be achieved in the shortest possible time.  Within time, there will be fundamental changes. At least when fighting with a large force, there will be absolutely no problem in terms of safety.

    But for Yang Jicai, serving as deputy chief of staff is too mundane, and there is really no challenge. As a young cadre, the element of instability in his bones and the desire to be able to stand alone make him  The balance in his heart was tilting in the direction of Du Kaishan's hope.

    He raised his head and looked at the expectant eyes of the commander and chief of staff. Although he was a little hesitant, the militant blood in Yang Jicai's bones and the example set by his elder brother made him finally choose to carry out this mission, but which one to choose?  The troops came to execute it, but Yang Jicai was asked to think carefully.

    After pondering for a moment, Yang Jicai said to Du Kaishan: "Commander Du, I have accepted this mission. Fighting a peaceful battle is not my style, Yang Jicai. If I want to fight, I will fight a battle that others dare not fight."  , but I have two requirements, and I hope my superiors can satisfy me.¡±

    "First, for this infantry regiment, I hope to assign Su Yingqi from the Kangbao Front Line to take command. He is a cadre from the Guan Nei Army and knows the Guan Nei Army well. The two of us have cooperated many times and are relatively familiar with each other, and this person  Being bold and careful is more suitable for my commanding style.¡±

    "In addition, give me some additional reconnaissance troops, plus even a cavalry battalion. I have never been to Shanxi. It is very unfamiliar. Although I am not unfamiliar with the Guan Nei troops, I am not good at speaking.  It¡¯s best to assign me some political cadres transferred from the customs.¡±

    "Second, for the attached tank unit, I hope that the superiors can draw out the British-made Crusader cruise tank. Although this kind of armor is a bit weak, it is much better than the Soviet-made BT fast tank and T-26 tank, and its cross-country and maneuverability are  The most powerful tank in our army.¡±

    ¡°Shanxi has rivers and mountains inside and outside, and the terrain is complex.Except for some basins, the terrain is mostly mountainous, especially the line from Tunhukou to the Great Wall. Although this area is the most stable base area of ??the Jinsui Military Region, and the entire county of Pianguan is controlled by the Jinsui Military Region,  To put it bluntly, the areas controlled by the Jinsui Military Region are all mountainous areas.  "

    "Under this kind of terrain, there are very high requirements for the cross-country capabilities of tanks. Since the superiors have decided to deploy tank troops to participate in this combat mission, I hope to be able to deploy tanks with the best mobility in our army. The armor does not need to be too heavy.  It¡¯s thick, but the mobility must be good.¡±

    "Although we don't have this kind of tank here now, I think Commander Du will definitely be able to mobilize it if you open your mouth. The generals on the 1st are changing at this time, and I have high hopes for you. Commander Du, if you open your mouth, the 1st will definitely be able to bring it."  Yes, although being transferred from Chanan seems to be stretching my hand too far, it is easier to discuss among these brotherly troops, isn't it? Moreover, it is said that one of their battalions is currently serving as a reserve force and has not been put into the battlefield yet.  "

    Regarding Yang Jicai's two requests, which were almost not demands, Du Kaishan nodded in agreement without thinking. After drafting a telegram to Chen Hanzhang explaining that Yang Jicai was unable to take office, and a telegram to the headquarters to mobilize troops, Du Kaishan and  Wang Minggui dragged Yang Jicai to the front of the map.

    Pointing to the map, he said: "This unit of yours will be incorporated into the westward reinforcements. Together with the main force, it will move westward through Kangbao, Shangyi, and Xinghe. It will cross the Suji and Xin'anzhuang lines and cross Pingyang.  The Sui Railway Line continues to move southwestward and breaks away from the main force at the Liangcheng line. "

    "The two main divisions enter Youyu from the Shahukou line, and reinforce the Datong line along the Yunyangbao line. But you should not follow the main force and continue to move. You continue to the west and enter the Great Wall at the Tunhukou line of Pianguan County controlled by the Jinsui Military Region.  , then pass through Pianguan and proceed southeastward, heading straight towards Taiyuan.¡±

    "The enemy's situation in this battle is unclear, so I don't want to specify a course of action for you. Let the two of us cooperate and divide the work. I am responsible for the course of action north of the Great Wall. How to act south of the Great Wall is up to you. But  The local armed forces in the Jinsui Military Region along the way will send you guides. Apart from those two requirements, if you have any other requirements, I will do my best to solve them. "

    Yang Jicai pondered for a long time before raising his head and said: "Commander, there are actually two keys to executing this mission. First, the guide must be familiar not only with the route, but also with the terrain. The terrain required for synthetic infantry and tanks to pass is not the same as that of the brother troops in the pass.  The infantry are two different things."

    "I looked at the map. Whether you enter the Outer Great Wall from Tunhukou or enter the Outer Great Wall from Shahukou, you pass through mountainous areas. It's okay to have roads to rely on, but if the entire interspersed operation relies entirely on roads, then our  It is difficult to hide strategic intentions for a long time.¡±

    "So I need a guide who knows the terrain of northwestern and even western Shanxi very well. At the very least, he needs to know where the terrain is that can allow my tanks and cars to pass. Otherwise, when there are not many troops, once the infantry and tanks are disconnected,  , then when surrounded by enemies, it is easy to be annihilated by the Japanese army one by one. "

    "Taiyuan is the core area of ??Japanese rule in Shanxi. Once our troops appear around Taiyuan, then the troops I lead are likely to be surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops pouring out from the surrounding areas in a short period of time. Since it is just a rescue  , then this operation is destined to be fought quickly.¡±

    "I don't ask for much support from the remaining remaining troops in the Jinsui Military Region, which has exhausted its main force, in this operation. However, this cooperative combat unit must be familiar with the terrain. At least there must be a pass in each mountain pass.  Strict control, at least my attack and retreat routes must be clear. "

    "Commander, the second one is also the most critical. It even far exceeds the two requirements I made before. It can be said to be the first choice for whether we can complete this task, that is, the accuracy and timeliness of intelligence, and Chen  The commander¡¯s insertion was different from the previous one. This time the enemy is moving, and I am also moving.¡±

    "The troops are just interspersed in the battle, and the response to the reception of intelligence itself is a step slower. Once the accuracy is worse, the consequences will be more serious than when Commander Chen divided the troops, and the consequences of the sudden change in the enemy's situation will be more serious. Commander,  The problem of intelligence has been revealed in Commander Chen¡¯s second phase of intervening operations.¡±

    "If Commander Mu's intelligence could be more timely, he would first wait in hiding on the front line of Wuzhoushan, and wait until the brigades of the 15th Division, which are eager to reinforce Jining, have a victory, and then launch the Datong attack. I am afraid that Datong has already lost control.  When the entire Japanese army in northern Shanxi and Suinan is divided into several disconnected sections, at least they will not be so passive in the direction of Datong. "

    "And now that Commander Chen has captured Fengzhen, even if these Japanese brigades come out?Shengkou, entering the Suinan battlefield will not bring much harm to our army. In fact, in the entire Suinan and northern Shanxi battlefields, the Japanese reinforcements along the Tongpu Railway will not be afraid of any number of troops.  "

    "As long as they don't outflank them from both wings, although the pressure is greater, it is still not fatal in a short period of time. Commander Du, now the troops deployed by the advancing army have arrived in Tianzhen. As long as they seize the Baishan Mountain line, Datong's right wing can be said to have  sit back and relax."

    "However, as the operations director of the Western Front Cluster, before I leave, I hope my superiors will pay attention to the Western Front in northwestern Shanxi. The Japanese army is good at carrying out large-scale roundabout operations. Once it outflanks our troops in northern Shanxi from Shuo County to the north,  Then the entire Suinan and northern Shanxi are under threat from the Japanese army."

    "If there is one more thing, then it is my actions. Please also Commander Chen, don't set any rules for me. This kind of rush operation without rear and no support, all the changes in the battle situation, as a front-line commander, I am  Most clearly, I can only watch this kind of battle."

    "No matter how we fight, I can only formulate a battle plan based on the enemy situation I face and watch the battle situation develop and change. What I need is to adapt to changes, rather than rigidly executing orders. Commander Du, as long as you and Commander Chen  If you agree to my request, I promise to rescue many of these prisoners of war."
