Chapter 308: How Many Pounds and Taels?
"What?"
Chief Yan looked at Director Guo in surprise.
"The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army actually wants to defend Taiyuan?"
"Yes." Guo Zhengliang nodded and said, "This is really incomprehensible. β
"Taiyuan has let them fight, and the return of the Japanese army will not arrive until at least tomorrow morning."
"They have plenty of time to move, so why don't they leave, but stay and hold on?"
"Just because of the materials in Taiyuan City? How much is that little worth of supplies? What could be more important than a brigade? β
"What about Chu Yunfei?" Chief Yan said, "If the Eighth Route Army wants to send them to death, they can do it, but the 358th Regiment of the Russian Jin Sui Army can't be cannon fodder." β
"This is the model regiment of the Russian-Jin Sui Army!"
"Don't go to the end without saying anything, but instead get into a model group in vain, then our Jin Suijun is really losing money."
Guo Zhengliang smiled bitterly: "Boss, I'm afraid this will disappoint you." β
"What do you mean by that?" Chief Yan said, "The 358th Regiment also wants to defend Taiyuan?" β
"Yes, this is a telegram from the head of the Chu regiment." Guo Zhengliang said as he handed over a telegram, "Nominally, it is a request for instructions, but in fact, a decision has been made, the 358th Regiment will live and die with Taiyuan!" β
He said that at such a critical moment, if only the Eighth Route Army defended Taiyuan without the participation of the Jin Sui Army, then in the future, the people of Shanxi would only know the Eighth Route Army but not the Jin Sui Army.
When Chief Yan heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Because what Chu Yunfei said was right.
Moreover, the Eighth Route Army chose to defend Taiyuan, which was also beneficial to the Jin Sui Army.
The first advantage is that the materials obtained by the 358th regiment will have the opportunity to be transported back.
That's 70,000 or 80,000 tons of materials, and it can come in handy when transported back to Jinxi.
Moreover, the Japanese army in Shanxi was so passive by the Eighth Route Army that it would take more defensive positions against the Jin Sui Army, and even secretly connived at their Jin Sui Army.
β¦β¦
In Chongqing, the official residence of Huangshan Yunxiu Tower.
Since the meeting was already past the end of the meal, Chairman Chiang asked the attendants to prepare a light meal and invited the senior officials attending the meeting to stay and eat together.
For the senior officials of the party-state, it was undoubtedly a great honor to be able to dine with Chairman Chiang.
Therefore, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, and General Manager Chen even specially talked about the past of the Second Expedition to the Dongjiang River, which was undoubtedly a rare highlight moment in Chairman Jiang's life.
At that time, Chairman Chiang also died nine times.
If it weren't for the brigade commander, who was one of the three heroes of Whampoa, to memorize him from the front line, Chinese history would have been rewritten.
It is precisely because of this battle that the legend of "Huangpu Three Heroes: Jiang Xianyun's pen, He Jinhan's mouth, and Chen Geng's legs" was left in the Whampoa Military Academy.
Speaking of this, everyone made a playful slap on the back.
It is said that Chairman Jiang is not afraid of danger and is not alarmed by changes, and he has the style of a famous general in ancient times.
But Chairman Jiang himself knew how embarrassed he was at that time, so he waved his hand and said: "Speaking of this junior of your own family, this good student of mine, it's really amazing, Taiyuan has been won!" β
There was silence in the restaurant, but this time no one answered the conversation, because it was a thunderbolt.
The 386th Brigade of the Communist Eighth Route Army recovered the capital of Shanxi Province, which was not a glorious event for the national army and the national government in any case!
In the end, Chief Chen said: "This is just a fluke, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese army in Shanxi and succeeding in a sneak attack." β
"Now that the main force of the Japanese army has returned to the division, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army can only give up Taiyuan, so this cannot be regarded as a recovery, and the real recovery must be held for at least three months."
However, as soon as the words fell, an attendant adjutant hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Chairman Chiang's ear, and Chairman Chiang's face immediately became a little strange.
Chief Chen whispered: "Commission, what's wrong?" β
Chairman Jiang said: "I just received a secret telegram from the Second War Zone, saying that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has decided to defend Taiyuan!" β
"Huh?" Chief Chen was immediately stunned, and just said that the Eighth Route Army could only abandon Taiyuan, and the Second World War Zone immediately sent a secret telegram saying that the 386 Brigade was ready to defend Taiyuan? This slap in the face is too fast!
After a long time, Chief Chen was annoyed and said angrily: "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is carried away by victory, this is simply looking for death!" Shoutaiyuan? They couldn't hold it for even three days! Hum! β
β¦β¦
At the same time, at the Taiyuan Girls' Normal School.
Chu Yunfei has also received a reply from the Commander's Department of the Second War Zone.
Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzuo, although the commander's department agreed to our request in principle, it also specially told us to preserve our strength in the battle to defend the city and try to avoid fighting to the death with the Japanese army. β
Chu Yunfei's face immediately showed a strange look.
Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzao, did I say something wrong?" β
"No, you didn't say anything wrong." Chu Yunfei said, "I just have some feelings. β
"Emotion?" Fang Ligong asked, "But I don't know, what is the reason for the group?" β
Chu Yunfei said: "Chief Yan asked us to preserve our strength and try to avoid fighting to the death with the Japanese army, but do you know the meritorious brother?" The Eighth Route Army has decided to take the initiative! β
"What?" Fang Ligong was stunned, "Take the initiative? β
"Yes." Chu Yunfei muttered, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army must strike first and strive to defeat the 9th Brigade in one go!" β
"That's really...... It's so arrogant! Fang Ligong said, "A brigade in the Eighth Route Military Region actually dares to defeat a brigade of the Japanese army in a field battle!" It's so arrogant. β
"Tuanza, we can't join in the fun!"
"In the eyes of lowly officials, this is simply looking for death!"
"That's exactly what makes me emotional." Chu Yunfei said, "Because the 386 Brigade didn't ask our 358 Regiment to cooperate with them at all, but let us stay in Taiyuan!" Not only that, but they will also provide a part of the weapons and equipment and ammunition to our 358 regiment free of charge. β
"This ......" Fang Ligong was speechless for a while.
After a long time, Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzao, shouldn't you take the initiative to ask for battle because you don't want to go?" β
Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "Meritorious brother, how could Chu be so naΓ―ve?" Although the Eighth Route Army and the National Army were friendly forces, they ultimately belonged to different camps. β
"Although I personally admire Brigade Commander Chen, I will never forget my identity because of this."
"So, I won't join in the fun, I want to see how many catties and taels the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has, and I dare to defeat the 9th Brigade in vain!"
Just as he was talking, Lin Zhiqiang came in and reported: "Tuanzao, the liaison officer of the Eighth Route Army has arrived." β
Lin Zhiqiang was originally the deputy of the 358th Regiment Guard Company, and after Sun Ming switched to the Eighth Road, he became the company commander.
"Company Commander Lin, please invite him in." After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he said to the other party's meritorious service, "Brother meritorious service, I have already agreed with Brigade Commander Chen that we will take out half of the materials and send them to the 386 Brigade, and they will help us transfer the materials, this matter will be arranged by you, and when dealing with them, you can tolerate it as much as possible." β
"Yes!" Fang Ligong said, "I understand my humble position. β
