"Once these two counties are captured, not only can we obtain a large amount of weapons and ammunition and various combat materials, but also a large amount of funds, then the situation of our 129th Division will be greatly improved."

"Not bad!" The brigade commander said happily, "This plan is already interesting!"

The chief of staff also agreed deeply: "I think it can be used directly for execution."

"Brigade Commander, and Chief of Staff, please don't praise me like that." Wang Ye said, "After all, I came up with this battle plan alone. Although it has been brewing for more than three months, the wisdom of one person is ultimately limited, so there must be many omissions in this plan.”

The brigade commander said, "You don't have to worry about that."

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "Today, we will brainstorm within the 386 brigade, check for omissions and make up for gaps, and try to improve Xiao Wang's plan as much as possible."

"Then report to the division headquarters and headquarters."

"I also believe that the headquarters will eventually adopt it."

As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, Ding Wei stood up and asked, "Xiao Wang, I have a question here. Did you ignore a very important mobile force of devils?"

Wang Ye said: "Head Ding is talking about the 11th Armored Train Team, right?"

"That's right." Ding Wei nodded, "It's the 11th armored train team that you said was transferred from the northeast. You just introduced the composition of the Japanese 4th, 8th, and 9th brigades, but you didn't introduce it. The 11th armored train team, I don't know if you are negligent, or have other deep meanings?"

Wang Ye said: "I guess I have another plan."

"Then tell me about your plan," said the brigade commander.

Wang Yedao: "The 11th armored train fleet is equipped with a Type 1 armored train."

"The entire Type 94 armored train consists of eight carriages, which are the security car, gun car A, gun car B, gun car C, command car, locomotive, tender car and generator car."

"The security vehicle is equipped with two 2mm Type 7.7 heavy machine guns."

“炮车甲和炮车乙各装备有1门14式105mm口径野战榴弹炮外加1挺7.7mm口径九二式重机枪。”

"The gun carriage C is equipped with two 2-type 88mm anti-aircraft guns, which can also shoot flat when necessary."

"The command vehicle, the tender vehicle and the generator vehicle are each equipped with two 2mm Type 7.7 heavy machine guns."

"So the entire armored train has a total of 4 large-caliber heavy guns, plus 10 Type [-] heavy machine guns."

"The security car and the generator car are each equipped with a 60cm searchlight, which can rotate freely in front, back, left, and right."

"In addition, the entire armored train is full of shooting holes, and the devil soldiers on the car can also hold rifles and pistols and shoot sporadically through the shooting holes."

"So in terms of firepower alone,"

"An armored train like this is comparable to an infantry regiment!"

"Its only disadvantage is that it must rely on the railway for maneuvering. Once the rails are damaged, the entire armored train will lose its mobility."

Ding Wei said: "Then here comes the problem."

"Before destroying thirteen large strongholds, we have no way to get close to Zhengtai Road, let alone destroy the railway tracks along Zhengtai Road."

"Then this forms a deadlock."

"Without destroying thirteen large strongholds, there is no way to destroy the railroad tracks."

"Without destroying the rails, there is no way to stop the devil's armored train."

"But without stopping the devil's armored train, there is no way to destroy the thirteen large strongholds."

"The reason is very simple. With such an armored train with a firepower comparable to that of an infantry regiment wandering on Zhengtai Road, we have no way to calmly attack thirteen large strongholds."

Including the brigade commander, the complexions of several chiefs collapsed.

What Ding Wei said was reasonable, it would be really troublesome to have such a train of powerful armored vehicles wandering around on Zhengtai Road.

When they deployed their forces to attack a certain large stronghold, such an armored train suddenly rushed over, and a sudden fire attack could severely damage the main attacking regiment.

Moreover, the devil's armored train maneuvers through the railway, and it can leave after fighting.

It doesn't take one day to run all thirteen large strongholds. Doesn't this mean that the more than 20 main groups that attacked the thirteen large strongholds will all be hit hard?

Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa also looked solemn, but Li Yunlong looked relaxed.

Because before coming to the brigade headquarters, Wang Ye had already told him the whole plan, including how to deal with the armored train of the 11th armored train team.

All eyes were on Wang Ye again.

Just now Wang Ye himself said that he had other arrangements.

Kong Jie suddenly said: "Can you find the weak points of Zhengtai Road first? For example, blow up bridges or tunnels, so that this doggy armored train can be isolated from the main battlefield."

"I'm afraid it's impossible." Wang Ye said, "Because the devil's thirteen large strongholds are built on the weak point of Zhengtai Road."

Cheng Shifa said loudly: "Then mobilize the militia and civilians in the base area to carry out raids in the middle of the adjacent large strongholds, and demolish the railway tracks?"

"I'm afraid it won't work either," Ding Wei said.

"Why not?" Cheng Shifa asked back.

Ding Weidao: "Because apart from the armored train that Xiao Wang mentioned, there are road and rail dual-purpose armored vehicles on Zhengtai Road. Although the firepower of these road and rail dual-purpose armored vehicles cannot be compared with armored trains at all, they are used for two adjacent large strongholds. There are more than enough patrols in the middle, and it is impossible for our people to have a chance to break the attack."

Ding Wei still didn't say anything, he made his idea on a large stronghold half a month ago.

Prepare to take down the Sangzhang stronghold, hijack a troop of devils, and improve the armaments of the new regiment.

But after preliminary attempts, Ding Wei gave up this plan decisively because the risk was too great.

"That's right." Wang Ye said, "Unless the thirteen large strongholds are destroyed first, we have no way to carry out demolition operations on Zhengtai Road."

Wang Ye was also not telling the truth here.

The militiamen and civilian husbands couldn't carry out broken operations on Zhengtai Road, not even the Xinyi Regiment, but the Independent Regiment or their Wolf Warrior Squad could do it.

Kong Jie said: "Then there is really no way."

Wang Ye said: "No, there are still ways."

The brigade commander said: "Xiao Wang, tell me, what can I do?"

But Wang Ye turned his attention to Li Yunlong, so let Li Yunlong play this trick.

"Surprise attack!" Li Yunlong said with a chuckle, "Before the main force of the division launches a full-scale attack, the Wolf Warriors team directly under our independent regiment will launch a surprise attack on this Type [-] armored train."

"At that time, not only will this armored train not be an obstacle to our 129th Division,"

"Instead, it will become a strong firepower guarantee for our 129th Division to attack the 4th Brigade!"

"Surprise attack?" The brigade commander felt that this idea was very risky, and immediately asked Wang Yedao, "Are you sure?"

Wang Ye said: "If I say that I'm [-]% sure, the brigade commander and all the chiefs here will definitely not believe it, but our Wolf Warrior team has indeed done a lot of reconnaissance on this armored train of the devil."

"In order to find out the operation rules of this armored train,"

"Our wolf team rode on horseback and ran back and forth five times."

"Even the war horses lost several horses, all of which were broken."

"And finally let us discover perhaps the only exploitable vulnerability."

"What's the flaw?" The brigade commander and several chiefs immediately cheered up, as long as there is a flaw.

Wang Yedao: "The patrol range of the Devil's 11th armored train team is from Huolu County to Yuci County. The mileage is about 140 kilometers, which is just slightly shorter than the cruising range of the Type [-] armored vehicles."

"So this armored train always adds coal water at Jingxing Station and Yuci Station every time."

"Our wolf team will send elite personnel to sneak into Jingxing Railway Station, pretend to be coal workers at the station, and take advantage of the opportunity to add coal water to the armored train, sneak into the coal water compartment and hide."

"The other members of the Wolf Warriors team, as well as the personnel selected from the independent regiment to control the electromechanical equipment, will wait in advance at the climbing point between Jingxing Railway Station and Niangziguan Railway Station."

"Because the section of the railway between Jingjing and Niangziguan has a steep gradient."

"So the speed of the train will also slow down, which is beneficial for our personnel to climb."

"After the armored train enters the ramp, the personnel who sneak into the tender will first control the tender compartment, open the door to pick up other members and operators of electromechanical equipment."

"Then, the Wolf Warriors team will attack the last generator car."

"With control of the generator compartment, the power supply to the entire military train can be cut off."

"The next step is very simple. First, induce the devils in each carriage to fire, and then throw the grenade wrapped in chili powder through the shooting hole, and the devils in each carriage will be smoked."

"Finally, our Wolf Warriors team will sweep and eliminate the devils in each carriage one by one."

"The whole climbing process takes about four hours, enough for us to seize control of the armored train."

The brigade commander and the chief of staff looked at each other and asked: "Has the inside of the tender tanker been reconnaissance? Can a reliable hiding place be found?"

Wang Ye said: "We have already scouted."

After a pause, Wang Ye added: "I even ran along with him. I got on the train at Jingxing Station and got off at Yuci Station. None of the devils in between noticed my existence."

However, the brigade commander was still a little worried.

He also said: "But for such a large combat operation, it is irresponsible to pin all your hopes on the surprise attack of your wolf warrior team, so you must have a backup plan."

"Of course." Wang Ye nodded and said, "The backup plan is activated at the same time."

"If my infiltration operation fails, the blasting team of the Wolf Warriors team will carry out blasting at the climbing point between Jingjing Railway Station and Niangziguan Railway Station, blowing up the railroad tracks."

"This can also isolate the devil's armored train from the main battlefield."

"However, there is no chance of winning the three large strongholds east of the climbing point, as well as Jingjing County and Huolu County. The scope of operations is limited to the area west of the blasting point."

Kong Jie said: "Can the blasting team of your Wolf Warriors team infiltrate it?"

"Of course." Wang Ye said firmly, "The devil's blockade can block our militiamen and civilian husbands, but it is impossible to block the wolf squad."

Li Yunlong also said: "The blockade that the little devil built along Zhengtai Road seems to be very tight, but in the eyes of the Wolf Warriors team, it is almost like a sieve, hehehe."

"That's all right," said the chief of staff.

"Please wait a moment." Ding Wei said again, "I still have a question."

After a pause, he continued: "Xiao Wang, you just mentioned the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 8th Brigade, but you didn't mention the 9th Brigade stationed in Taiyuan."

"You also mentioned it in the introduction just now,"

"The 9th Brigade is the strategic general reserve of the Japanese 1st Army stationed in Shanxi."

"So, instead of dividing troops into garrisons like the 4th and 8th brigades, the entire brigade was assembled in Taiyuan."

"So, once our 129th Division launches a full-scale attack on the large and small strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway, what if the whole division of the 9th Brigade comes to help?"

"Can the reserve team we set aside be able to stop it?"

The atmosphere in the war room became tense again.

However, Wang Ye said: "Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, has always been cautious in using troops, so even if thirteen large strongholds along Zhengtai Road were attacked at the same time, he would never let the whole division of the 9th Brigade come to help."

"Based on my estimate, the old devil will send at most one infantry brigade to help."

"Of course, to be on the safe side, we can first let the 120th Division and the brother troops in the Taiyue base area attack the Tongpu line and the Baijin line first, so as to attract the old devils to send troops from Taiyuan for reinforcements."

"In this way, when the main force of our 129th Division launches a full-scale attack on Zhengtai Road,"

"The old devil can at most draw an infantry brigade from the 9th Brigade to help."

"Because the 9th Brigade is a mixed brigade with only five infantry brigades."

"There is one last question." Ding Wei asked again, "Have you considered the factor of the Devils Air Force?"

"Of course." Wang Ye nodded and said, "The reason why I have repeatedly emphasized that combat operations must be against the clock is to avoid the harassment of devil aviation."

"I've done war games,"

"Under the premise of doing a good job of concealing the enemy,"

"The main force of our 129th Division will be able to remove more than 100 small outposts before dawn, and we are still sure."

"Then hide for a day, concentrate our forces in the evening, and spend another night to pull out the thirteen large strongholds along Zhengtai Road. It is also sure."

"It is best to attack Yangquan and Jingjing counties at night."

After Wang Ye finished speaking, no one in the entire war room questioned him.

The brigade commander looked around again and asked, "Are there any questions?"

Seeing that no one spoke, the brigade commander said again: "Chief of staff, that's it. You ask the people in the combat department to check this plan, and then report it to the division headquarters and headquarters."

Chapter 105 Sending You A Master

The brigade commander asked several regiment leaders again: "Is there really no problem?"

Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei and Kong Jie shook their heads again.
