"Chairman, in this case, how can the problem of the second theater of operations be solved?" , Bai Chongxi's question asked the key point, Chief Yan retreated to Henan, and his supreme commander of the second theater could exist in name only.

The chairman frowned, this is indeed a problem, now there are almost no own troops in North China, the only force is the 200,000 troops left in Xi'an, can Dingwen be the commander to limit the Eighth Route Army?

Jiang Dingwen is his confidant, and he also treats the Eighth Route Army coldly, and now the Eighth Route Army is almost self-contained, and he has no ability to fight vertically and horizontally.

The chairman of the committee also had to take into account Yan Xishan's thoughts, although he wanted to annex his troops, he could not be blatant, otherwise the warlords of all walks of life would put themselves in danger.

Thinking of this, the chairman of the committee suddenly had a headache, and Li Ping asked the remnants of the Jin Suijun to go to Jiang Dingwen, but he didn't have a good mind, because he wanted to estranged his relationship with the Jin Suijun and divert his hatred.

"Chairman, the Eighth Route Army has become an atmosphere for the time being, so it is better to let them command the second theater and attack North China."

As soon as Chen Cheng's words came out, the chairman of the committee glared at him directly, so that the Eighth Route Army would really be out of his control.

"Chairman of the committee, I think it is better to let Yan Xishan return to Shanxi, and the troops he left in Henan will slowly transfer over, and he must be the commander of the second theater." After Bai Chongxi finished speaking, everyone stared at him and sneered, I am afraid that the fate of Jin Suijun has made him vigilant, this is also a proper warlord.

The chairman of the committee was suddenly depressed, and the people under him had their own thoughts, which strengthened his idea of annexing these warlords, raised his head slightly, and said: "Send a telegram to Chief Yan and appoint him as the deputy commander of the Third War Zone, and stay in Henan." ”

"Promote Dingwen to the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, and unify the command of the operation in North China."

"The Eighth Route Army was captured and handed over in this operation, and it was distributed by the Second War Zone."

The three orders of the chairman of the committee made many generals silent, looking at the figure of the chairman in a daze.

After receiving the telegram, Yan'an immediately laughed, handed over the seizure, don't even think about it, and the two sides immediately started a war of words.

Now the only one who is hurt is Yan Laoxi, he has calculated and gone with all his might, Shanxi has been lost, most of the troops are gone, and his family is gone, looking at the telegram sent from Chongqing, Chief Yan suddenly sneered, and the general sitting there looked sad and angry.

"The Eighth Route Army is excessive, and the chairman is even more excessive." , The roar of the chief of staff of the Jin Sui Army was very hoarse, the Eighth Route Army annexed the soldiers, and those backbones were still there, but the chairman wanted to swallow them in one bite.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that our Jin Sui Army would fall to the point where it is now, and it cheapened the Eighth Route Army in vain." , Chief Yan's miserable laughter silenced everyone, if it was better to defend Jincheng safely at the beginning, and didn't want to calculate the Eighth Route Army, it would not have ended up like today.

"Chief Yan, the troops going to Xi'an must be gathered back, I have counted them, they are basically our backbone, with them, we can make a comeback."

Chief Yan's eyes finally became angry, and he was sitting up, he would not admit defeat.

Glancing at everyone, he said, "Go and contact them and ask them to find a way to join us." ”

"Send a telegram to Chongqing again, my Jin Sui army has suffered heavy losses, and weapons must be allocated, and our Jin Sui army must be a strength of 100,000 people, otherwise don't blame me for turning the face."

Chief Yan understood that he couldn't handle the Eighth Route Army, so the chairman didn't want to bully him.

The chairman who received the telegram was furious, Yan Xishan actually threatened him like this, but in the end he sighed helplessly, Yan Laoxi saw the reality clearly, if he didn't give him the troops, I am afraid that the army commanders below would have more ideas.

Thinking of this, the chairman calmed down, Yan Laoxi, you have no Shanxi, no family, and you are still under my nose, and you won't be able to jump for long.

The chairman readily agreed to Yan Laoxi's request, and the generals of the Jin Sui army were overjoyed, but only Chief Yan and the chief of staff looked at each other and showed concern.

The Jin Sui army, which has no family background, will no longer be independent, and everything will be controlled by Chongqing in the future, so that the officers below will have more ideas, after all, no one wants to be treated differently.

I am afraid that half of these troops will be secretly controlled by Chongqing in the future, but Yan Xishan still decided to get the benefits in his hands first, and then said, if there is a chance to return to Shanxi in the future, it will be the moment when the Jin Sui army will be reborn.

Chief Yan can be regarded as extinguishing the fire, but the war of words between Yan'an and Chongqing continues, and the chairman does not want the arsenal of the Jin Suijun to fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, how can the Eighth Route Army let go of such an opportunity.

The telegrams coming and going made Chongqing understand that the Eighth Route Army really began to take off in the future.

Several major forces in China are still in chaos, and on the other side, the Japanese army headquarters has learned that Shanxi has been recaptured by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops have suffered heavy losses, and Tada Jun quietly waits for the reproach to come.

In the palace, the Japanese emperor looked at the telegram with a murderous spirit, and stared at the few generals below without letting go.

"Yaga, Tada Jun must be responsible for this, the empire has been defeated again and again in North China, and the situation is erosive and intolerable."

Hideki Tojo waited for the emperor to finish venting, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Senior General Tada Toshishi must be responsible, but we can't completely replace him." ”

"Nani?"

Hideki Tojo stubbornly continued: "Your Majesty, the situation in North China is erosive, and it has a great impact on the great cause of the empire, last time General Sugiyama Motodai was completely replaced, and Tada Jun took office, at present, only he is familiar with the situation in North China, if there is another commander, it is too wasteful to be familiar with the time, it is better to give Tada Jun another chance, let him exterminate the Eighth Route Army and make meritorious contributions." ”

After Tojo Hideki finished speaking, many people immediately nodded their heads and agreed that at present, North China is empty of troops, it will take time to transfer troops, and it will take time for the commander to familiarize himself with the situation, and I am afraid that the situation will be even more dangerous at that time.

"Your Majesty, I agree with this suggestion, at present, the imperial army is being dragged to the point of immobility, if we want to exterminate the Eighth Route Army in North China, we must draw troops from the headquarters or other places, we need time."

You said a word, and finally decided to let Tada Jun continue to serve as the commander of North China, and after the order was issued, Tada Jun, who received the telegram, was very surprised.

"Yo Xi, since there is still a chance, the Eighth Route Army must be exterminated." Tada, who had recovered his morale, had a blazing eye, and he was ready to make a plan, and when the troops arrived, North China must return to the control of the empire.

The news of Tada Jun's retention is still spreading, and the Eighth Route Army is now exhausted, confronting the Japanese army in Hebei, and Shanxi, which has quieted down, suddenly regained its vitality quickly, and democratic governments in various places began to be established.

Mr. Zhu, who stayed in Yan'an, also set off to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, preparing to discuss the next development route together.
