A negotiation full of expectations, because the Eighth Route Army did not play its cards according to common sense, and finally broke up unhappily.

Looking at the back of the negotiator of the Jin Suijun slowly disappearing, the confidence on Chief of Staff Zhou's face began to be replaced by seriousness, and he looked at Li Hao and asked, "Is there any news on the front line?" ”

"These Jin Sui troops are too arrogant, and they don't take our Eighth Route Army seriously at all."

"I also think that we are the Eighth Route Army that didn't even have a few rifles a few years ago."

If there is no telegram on the front line, we will immediately send them a telegram: "After the offensive begins, we must be quick and ruthless, use the shortest time and the most fierce offensive to kill the Japanese puppet army, teach the Jin Sui army a good lesson, and let them know that our Eighth Route Army is no longer what it used to be." ”

After signaling the telegraph operator to send a telegram, Li Hao said: "Chief, although they are very arrogant, we have not gained nothing from the negotiation just now. ”

"Not only do we know that the Jin Sui Army will exert military pressure on us early tomorrow morning, but we also know that the Jin Sui Army is indeed as we judge, and is even more weak than us and afraid of a military conflict."

"Don't look at them constantly speaking harshly to us at the negotiation table, but they don't have any confidence in their hearts."

"In particular, when I compared the combat effectiveness of the two armies with the defeat of their last attack on Datong, several people were obviously anxious, and they began to speak in a bad way, constantly persuading us to agree to their proposals, sign the agreement, and avoid a military conflict between the two armies."

"From this point, it is certain: after listening to my analysis, they panicked and became more afraid."

"I estimate that after the battle on the front line, within two hours, the negotiators of the Jin Sui Army will take the initiative to come over and return to the negotiating table."

Half an hour later, the operator hurriedly ran into the war room and shouted from afar: "Chief, the 12th Regiment has good news!" ”

"It took them only 26 minutes to take the Pingshan stronghold, eliminate 729 Japanese puppet soldiers, including 296 prisoners of the puppet army, and seize a large amount of materials, equipment and ammunition."

"The troops are cleaning up the battlefield and will be able to retreat in another hour."

Chief of Staff Zhou was blindsided for a moment before he reacted, and his face instantly blossomed.

The speed of the 12th Regiment's attack was even faster than the planned battle plan, which must have brought a huge shock to the Jin Sui army watching the battle, and made them re-understand the Eighth Route Army.

Immediately ordered: "Call back the 12th Regiment, draw out a company to escort the wounded and capture them back to Datong." The other troops set up a defensive line on the spot and did not retreat for the time being. ”

"The light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and mountain artillery that the headquarters strengthened for them were all set up on the defensive line for me, aimed at the position of the Jin Sui army, and put on a posture of defending Datong."

"But without my orders, no one can shoot or provoke a fight."

"Since we want to play for Jin Suijun, then we will play a full set, and let Jin Suijun know that in front of our Eighth Route Army, military pressure is useless."

"If you want to achieve great harmony, you have to negotiate it."

The residence of the negotiator of the Jin Sui Army, the lieutenant general returned here with his subordinates and began to send a telegram to the war zone, so that the war zone was ready to put military pressure on the Eighth Route Army.

But it had been almost half an hour since the telegram was sent, and there was still no call back from the war zone.

Time passed little by little, and when the lieutenant general couldn't help but send another telegram urging the war zone, the telegraph finally moved.

Ten minutes later, the telegraph operator put down his headset and codebook and walked up to the lieutenant general with a serious face.

"Sir, War Zone Emergency Call: The original plan has been terminated, let's continue to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army!"

"What?" The lieutenant general shouted in disbelief.

Anger poured out, and after confirming that the telegram was fine, he scolded loudly: "The negotiations have collapsed, we have said all the cruel things we should have said, and now tell us that the original plan is terminated and the negotiations are restarted, isn't this a joke for the Eighth Route Army?" ”

At the negotiation table, the major general who spoke harshly to Chief of Staff Zhou with the lieutenant general was also anxious and immediately reminded him.

"Sir, at this time we offered to continue the negotiations, and the fool also knew that something was wrong on our side."

"Even if the Eighth Route Army agrees to continue negotiations, it will take the opportunity to blackmail us, and will not let go of the previous conditions, or even increase the conditions, in which case we will definitely suffer a big loss."

"Why don't you send a telegram to the war zone first, find out what caused the war zone to suddenly change its plan, and then discuss how to restart negotiations."

The lieutenant general also wanted to know what was really going on behind this decision, and immediately ordered: "Send ...... now"

Before the operator could get the order, the radio went off again.

"The war zone sent us a telegram again!" The operator put on headphones as he reported.

This time it took twenty minutes to translate the telegram.

There was a lot of content, and three whole telenewspapers were written.

The lieutenant general was the first to read the telegram, and then fell silent.

The major general looked at it for the second time, and after reading it, a shocked expression of disbelief appeared directly on his face.

After handing the telegram to the others, he looked at the middle and asked, "Sir, how can the Eighth Route Army have such a strong strength!" ”

"More than a thousand days of puppet army, all of them were killed in less than half an hour, this speed is too fast!"

The lieutenant general's face was very ugly, and he replied in a heavy tone: "As long as the artillery fire is fierce enough, it is not difficult to eat more than a thousand puppet troops in half an hour." ”

"What shocked me the most in the telegram was the strength of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army."

"At the negotiation table, we also laughed at the poor equipment of the Eighth Route Army, and the result? They slapped us directly with facts. ”

"Not only are they well armed, but they are also equipped with a large number of artillery: mortars, infantry guns, mountain artillery, heavy artillery, as long as the devils have it, they are all equipped, and there are many of them."

"Is this still the Eighth Route Army we know?"

"In just a few years, a unit that is not even equipped with rifles has developed into a strong army with mortars, mountain artillery, and even heavy artillery."

"What Regiment Commander Li said during the negotiation just now was right: we didn't take Datong for five days, and they took Datong in two days, and the troops dispatched were still less than ours, and there is no better proof of which of the two forces is stronger and which is weak."

The major general's expression became more and more solemn, staring at the lieutenant general and asking, "Sir, there is one more thing I don't understand. ”

"The Eighth Route Army will not attack sooner or later, and it will attack when we want to exert military pressure on them, which is too coincidental!"

"Also, the Japanese puppet army they attacked is right under our noses, and it stands to reason that we should fight, this is obviously a tiger's mouth, didn't the front-line troops negotiate with them and let them retreat?"

"In addition, the Japanese puppet army confronting us adds up to more than 1,000 people, and the dispatch of mountain artillery and mortars can completely destroy them, and there is no need to dispatch heavy artillery to kill chickens with knives. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has so many heavy artillery shells in its hands that it can be squandered? ”

The lieutenant general replied with a long sigh: "Don't you see it yet, this is not an ordinary military operation, but the Eighth Route Army demonstrated to us through an offensive, showing its great strength and making us afraid of them." ”

"As for the front-line troops, they will certainly not stop."

"Someone helped them eliminate the Japanese puppet army, it's too late to thank them, how can they object."

"I wonder if there are still people who have the idea of being fishermen, planning to sit back and enjoy the success when the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese puppet army are both defeated."

"As a result, I didn't expect the strength of the Eighth Route Army to slap them hard, which disappointed their wishes, and they were shocked by them."
