Bright Sword: Develop independently and level up ten times at the beginning

Chapter 589: Change Your Thinking

"The New First Air Force Division can do it, but I can't?"

"Lin Xu can do it, but I can't?"

"Is there such a huge gap between Fencheng and the New First Division?"

The commander turned his head and looked at Shi Taikang.

Chief of Staff Shi Taikang: "..."

You ask me this?

Are you so lacking in self-awareness?

What the hell...

I don't want to hit you either.

"Sir."

"This kind of thing...it also depends on the situation and luck."

"The New First Division... is itself an outlier."

"The troops of the New First Division, whether they are artillery, infantry, or anything else, are all the elite among the elite."

"The New First Division's air force also fought bloody battles with the Japanese air force several times, and each time they faced more Japanese fighter planes than their own."

"But we were able to defeat the Japanese air force time and again, with minimal casualties."

"Sir."

"Even if we go through tremendous pains to build up an air force, can we hold our own against the Japanese air force for a few rounds?"

"How likely do you think this is?"

Chief of Staff Shi Taikang actually expressed his inferiority complex in a rather tactful way.

If you still don't understand under such subtle circumstances, then you are ignorant.

"Hey……"

"That's true."

“Overall, it’s a thankless job.”

"Having said that."

"But I'm a little unwilling."

The commander sighed.

Then he shook his head silently.

Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.

……

Taiyuan.

The next round of attack.

In progress.

Changes in the Fencheng battle situation will not affect the Taiyuan battlefield.

At this moment, Lin Xu devoted all his energy to the upcoming full-scale battle.

In the past, siege warfare might involve all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

But at the moment when large troops are fighting.

Many times, the purpose of the city wall is just to withstand more artillery fire.

There are no ancient things like siege ladders.

Many times, battles are basically resolved around the city.

In order to gather troops.

The Japanese only deployed two lines of defense around Taiyuan. If the Taiyuan city wall is included, there are three lines of defense in total.

The first line of defense was originally garrisoned by the 47th Army of the puppet army.

The Japanese originally wanted to use the 47th Army of the puppet army as cannon fodder and stop the New st Division as long as possible.

Of course, from the beginning to the end, these devils did not expect that the puppet army's 47th Army would be able to intercept Lin Xu's troops.

But the Japanese did not expect that the puppet army's 47th Army would surrender so suddenly... and so quickly.

There was no so-called resistance at all.

Now the pressure is on the Japanese at the second line of defense.

The main force of the Japanese 8th Division is stationed here.

Behind the second line of defense.

In addition to deploying the artillery regiment of the Japanese 8th Division, a large number of additional artillery pieces were also added.

The battle is about to break out.

"commander."

"The overall situation is now determined."

"We just need to press on with our victory."

"We, the reinforced cavalry regiment, are willing to lead the charge."

"Just charge forward and wipe out the devils!"

Sun Desheng shook his shoulders, full of fighting spirit.

"Captain Sun."

"No matter what, it's not your cavalry regiment's turn to lead the charge!"

"Our armored regiment is no pushover either!"

"commander!"

"Our armored regiment is equipped with a large number of Tiger tanks, which have extremely strong defensive capabilities. We can line up in a row and escort our infantry to the vicinity of the Japanese."

"Then……"

"Once we close the distance, we can take down the devil with one fierce attack!"

The commander of the armored regiment, Sun Chenghai, also volunteered.

Lin Xu didn't say anything for a moment and waved to the monk.

The monk then handed over a cigarette and lit it.

"Although our weapons and equipment are not bad."

"But compared to the Japanese, our troop numbers don't offer much of an advantage."

"and."

"Since the Japanese dare to continue to garrison Taiyuan openly, it shows that they still have some confidence."

"We can attack directly. With our powerful artillery firepower, we do have a chance to capture Taiyuan."

"But how many casualties will our 20,000 troops suffer?"

"It is very important to take Taiyuan."

"But defending Taiyuan is equally important."

"If all these old troops of ours are finished fighting."

"There wasn't enough time to train new troops."

"So when fighting a war, especially a siege like this, you must never act recklessly."

"Send the order!"

"The Cavalry Regiment, Armored Regiment, and Rocket Artillery Regiment will circle around to the western gate of Taiyuan and launch an attack!"

Lin Xu suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"what?"

"commander."

"You..."

"Are you planning a feint attack on Taiyuan's west gate? Draw the Japanese to garrison the west gate, leaving the east gate empty before we launch a fierce attack?"

Zhou Weiguo, commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, followed suit, a complicated look on his face.

"Weiguo thinks this strategy is too stupid, right?"

Lin Xu said directly.

"No...no...Commander, that's not what I meant."

"I just feel like the devils aren't that stupid."

"This strategy of luring the ghosts away from the mountain is too obvious."

"You just transferred the cavalry reinforcement regiment, the armored regiment, and the rocket artillery regiment."

"These are all highly mobile troops."

"After the feint attack on Taiyuan's west gate, we can return directly to the east gate and launch a fierce attack on the Japanese."

"It's obviously a feint."

Zhou Weiguo analyzed.

The people around nodded, most of them thought so.

"if."

"Isn't attacking the west gate a feint?"

Lin Xu suddenly said.

At this time, it was the turn of the people around to be confused.

Not a feint?

Or main attack?

"This……"

"commander."

"Our two heavy artillery brigades are deployed at the east gate of Taiyuan."

"You also said that we don't have many troops."

"If we don't utilize the manpower of these two heavy artillery brigades at this time, won't our forces be even smaller?"

"The firepower is also insufficient."

"Mainly attack the West Gate, then the East Gate..."

"It doesn't make sense."

“It also doesn’t align with established strategic thinking.”

Chief of Staff Chang Naichao shook his head, and shook his head faster.

Lin Xu nodded silently.

"Seeing you all object."

"I feel relieved."

"The devils have some brains, but they are definitely not as smart as Naichao and Weiguo."

"This way."

"The Japanese will probably think we're sending troops to the west gate just for a feint."

"Under this circumstance, even if the Japanese will transfer some troops to defend the west gate, they won't transfer too many."

"At this time."

"We are at the East Gate."

"Let the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade launch a fierce attack on the Japanese to draw their firepower."

"West City Gate Location."

"Let the armored regiment, cavalry reinforcement regiment, and rocket artillery regiment launch a coordinated attack to break through the weak defense line deployed by the Japanese in Xicheng."

"After we rush into Taiyuan, we will head straight for the eastern part of Taiyuan from the city."

"In the rear, launch a fierce attack on the Japanese artillery units deployed in the eastern city of Taiyuan."

"End this battle once and for all."
