After sending the telegram and bidding farewell to Battalion Commander Zhu and them, the army air, escorted by Chen Fan's special operations team, marched from Fanxi to Ji County via Pu County. On the way, he met the main force of the southwest region of Shanxi, changed into a war horse and rode to Guxian Village, Ji County, to meet Yan Xishan, the commander of the second theater.

Guxian was originally a little-known mountain village, separated from the Kenanpo that later went down in history. Now because Yan Xishan retreated here, the silent mountain village became lively for a while.

After the Japanese army captured Taiyuan for the second time, "Yan Xishan retreated to Linfen. The Japanese army followed closely and captured Linfen, and Yan Xishan had no choice but to retreat to Ji County and withdraw the Second Theater Headquarters and the Shanxi Provincial Government to Guxian. Established here.

If he had stayed before the Anti-Japanese War and killed Yan Xishan, he would not have come to Guxian, because it was only across the river from Yichuan, Shaanxi, which was occupied by the Communists. But now it is different, due to the frantic attack of the Japanese army, "Shaanxi has become a stable rear, if it is not for the uncomfortable taste under the fence, Yan Xishan will move the headquarters of the Second Theater to Yichuan."

For Yan Xishan, Gu Xian is a blessed land. After the Battle of Taiyuan, the strength of the Jin army was greatly damaged" Yan Xishan ran to Guxian, gathered the remnants here, took a breath, and waited for the army to recover Taiyuan. Therefore, "the second southward attack of the Japanese army" Yan Xishan retreated to Guxian. After the frantic sweep of the Japanese heavy army group, Yan Xishan returned here. Here they waited for the army to attack and occupy Tianjin, forcing the elite divisions of the Japanese army in Shanxi to move eastward. Yan Xishan pondered and pondered, "Came to a conclusion, that is, the special operations division of the army aviation is a firefighting team on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and every critical moment, the army aviation will strike at the throat of the little devil, so that it has to stop the powerful offensive."

Two days ago, Yan Xishan had already received the news that Lu Hang, commander of the Special Operations Division of the Eighth Route Army, was coming to pay a visit. To be honest, he didn't want to see Lu Hang at this time. There are two reasons, one is that a few days ago, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Umezu Mijiro, contacted Su Tiren, an old subordinate of Yan Xishan and a high-ranking official in puppet Shanxi Province, and sent a Nakasa spy named Oya "with a letter from Umezu Mijiro, and he is still living in his headquarters." On the other hand, he got a hint of the news that some veterans of the Kuomintang who had retreated to Chongqing were worried about the rapid development of the Communist Party's forces, and had already begun to study how to restrict the development of different parties.

Lu Hang came to visit at this time, which made Yan Xishan a little confused. It stands to reason that Lu Hang has just escaped death, and he should rush back to Shaanxi immediately, "How could you think of visiting him?" He doesn't have such a deep friendship with the old man! Could it be that when the Great Arrow Nakazo came to Gu Xian, he leaked the news and made the Communist Party smell something?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yan Xishan, who had a big head, had no reason to refuse Lu Hang's visit, so he had to order the Jin Yu Army troops along the way to escort him carefully to ensure that Lu Hang arrived at Guxian safely.

After eating at noon that day, "Yan Xishan received a report that Lu Hang and his party arrived at Guxian before dark.

Yan Xishan hurriedly packed up, and for a while he was going to wear a robe and a horse hanger, for a while he was going to wear the gray military uniform of the Jin Sui Army, and for a while he was going to wear his second-class general uniform, so that the second wife Xu Lansen took this set and that set, and she was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground. In the end, "Yan Huiqing, the fifth sister, was smart-eyed, saw through Yan Xishan's thoughts, and persuaded him to put on a robe and horse hanging, and meet Lu Hang with the attitude of an elderly person receiving a rising star."

The fifth sister said very well: "Big brother, don't wear a military uniform, that's too formal." Although Lu Hang's military rank is lieutenant general, "but the credit of the people is there, and sooner or later he will become a general." Besides, the last time he met Lu Hang in Taiyuan, he respected his eldest brother very much, and his eldest brother also called him a brother. Although the matter of Lieutenant General Han Yu with Jiang Guangtou was a little unpleasant, now Han Yu also admitted that it was his wife and wrote an article to miss it, which has long been revealed. This time, "Lu Hang escaped death, didn't the Japanese already set off firecrackers to celebrate?" Even Chairman Chiang had already ordered newspapers everywhere to publish the deeds of the Army Airlines' War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and I heard that even the mourning hall had been built in the base area of the Eighth Route Army. Bodhisattva bless, fortunately he is fine, otherwise he will scare people to death! The eldest brother put on a robe and hung on the horse, "and prepare a first-class banquet on the table" to surprise him. That Lu Hang looks as heroic as Zhao Zilong, but in fact, he is also a poor man without a father and no mother, the eldest brother shocked him, he must think of the eldest brother's good, maybe he can help the eldest brother! ”

Yan Xishan listened to the cuteness of the five sisters' chatter, "I laughed when I thought about it." A while ago, his own Jin army fought well, and even the Communists admitted that they were a model of insisting on unity to resist Japan. The reason why Lu Hang came to visit him must have been because he was passing by the defense area and paying a courtesy visit.

You can't overthink simple questions.

After Yan Xishan changed his clothes, he was about to go out to greet him at the entrance of the village, and the adjutant reported that Oya Nakasa asked to see him.

Yan Xishan waved his hand and said irritably: "No, no!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door reminded of Daya's frowning Chinese: "Mr. Yan's refusal to accept guests is greatly inconsistent with the etiquette of the Chinese!" ”

Yan Xishan was a little annoyed in his heart, Lu Hang was about to arrive, this little devil was still busy adding to the chaos, did he really want to make the old man angry to death?

Without waiting for Yan Xishan to speak, Daya had already entered Yan Xishan's room, and when he saw Yan Xishan's robe and short coat, Daya said in a mocking tone: "Mr. Yan's dress, is it to welcome some guests?" ”

Although Yan Xishan's heart was full of fire, he still had to perfunctory: "Da Ya Zhongzuo, the old man is busy with official business" If you have anything, you can ask me to handle it with the contact person designated by you. ”

After saying that, he motioned for the guards to take Yano out.

Oya Zhong Saneng was selected to contact Yan Xishan, so he naturally had a certain amount of research on Yan Xishan, and smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Yan, have you forgotten the past when you were in exile?" Without the support of the Great Japanese Empire, would Mr. Yan still be able to return to Shanxi? Unexpectedly, Mr. Yan turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and forgot all about the promise he made back then. ”

As soon as he heard the big arrow, Zuo revealed the old bottom, "Yan Xishan was annoyed, in order to return to Shanxi, the old man promised some things that should not be promised. However, that is just a verbal promise, and it should not be true. Now, you little Japan has occupied the old man's Taiyuan, and what are you doing with these rotten sesame seeds? ?

Yan Xishan said coldly: "Back then, you were still a doll who read, what do you know? I think you Japanese are just unreliable, and your ambitions are too great. The dead Itagaki Seishiro came to see me under the guise of "scouting the terrain in Shanxi, and later led troops to capture Taiyuan." You also put secret agents next to the old man, and you almost killed the old man twice, do you still have the face to mention that bit of again? ”

When Daya heard this, Yan Xishan was annoyed, and immediately changed his face: "Mr. Yan, please don't misunderstand. There is an old Chinese saying: "It is called when you meet, and you laugh at each other." I am here this time" was specially delivered to the letter of Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro, commander of the First Army, and I am sure that Your Excellency has already read the letter. Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro has already analyzed for Your Excellency in his heart, at present, most of Shanxi has fallen into the hands of the Communist Party, and if Your Excellency does not wake up, there is no need for the Imperial Japanese Army to attack your troops, and the Eighth Route Army will eat away at your territory. Moreover, "Chiang Kai-shek's ammunition and food supplies to your troops could not be satisfied, and if he went against the Japanese Empire, he could only cheapen the Communists for nothing." Please seriously consider that we have common ground in cooperation against communism. ”
