There was a burst of laughter in the house, Ye Shuai is not authentic, except for weapons and ammunition, they really don't lack anything, this guy has blocked everyone's mouths, what else is there to say, the only thing left is execution.

After the laughter, Mr. Zhu took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and exclaimed: "Oh, it's already one o'clock in the morning unconsciously, so Lao Ye, they still have a short distance to go back to their respective defense areas, don't faint from hunger and fall off the horse, let the cooking team give each of them a bowl of noodles, and then take out the jar of sweet potatoes I collected, this noodles are also eaten and drunk, I don't believe that they are embarrassed to defeat the battle." ”

"Hahaha!"

There was laughter in the room again, and while waiting for supper, Mr. Zhu asked about the current progress of the troops.

Ye Shuai said that at present, the first and second columns have arrived in the area of Xuchang and Luohe, completely removed this section of the railway, and built defensive positions along the line, ready to resist the enemy's reinforcements at any time.

The 120th Division and the Third Column had already arrived at the periphery of Zhumadian, and only waited for the Seventh Army in the direction of Xinyang to fire the first shot, and the offensive immediately began, using the strength of one division and one column to fight the Japanese army's one brigade and one puppet army division. At the same time, all the guerrilla units, county brigades, and district squadrons that were transferred with the large units were assigned to them, and they could also play a certain role even if the offensive was ineffective.

At this moment, Mr. He, the coach who attacked Zhumadian, also patted his chest and said that Mr. Zhu and Ye Shuai in Zhumadian can rest assured that even if it is an iron wall, I He Huzi can take it to it.

The most embarrassing thing in front of him is the 115th Division, the original plan was that after the 120th Division and the Third Column launched an attack on Zhumadian, the 115th Division bypassed Zhumadian, made a long-distance attack and went straight to Lu'an, and laid the foundation for the Eighth Route Army to gain a foothold in Anhui.

Although the plan is kept secret from the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army has its own information channels and is already well aware of all this, and the Military Commission does this, as long as it does not undermine the overall situation of the campaign, it is understandable, and the Eighth Route Army and their agreement that whoever first lays down Lu'an will gain a foothold in Anhui, and as for how to fight and when to fight, no one can interfere, but the chairman of the committee has indeed brought a lot of pressure to the Eighth Route Army, and even if it does not have an advantage in distance, it has to pass through layers of enemy-occupied areas, and the difficulties encountered are simply unimaginable. Now that the Chongqing side has advanced the time of the attack, the Eighth Route Army simply has no chance of winning, so whether the 115th Division will continue to carry out the planned plan or make other arrangements has become an unresolved question.

Speaking of this problem, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull and depressed, this is the biggest problem that plagues everyone's hearts, the battle in front of us is related to the country and the nation, but the gains and losses of Lu'an are related to the future and development of the Eighth Route Army.

Just when everyone was in a low mood, Mr. Zhu suddenly muttered: "Thousands of troops and horses block Jinzhai? ”

This is what Jiang Haoran said to Ye Kai, and it had been transmitted to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army two days ago, but Mr. Zhu didn't figure out the meaning of this sentence for two days. Out of the protection of Jiang Haoran, the agreement reached by the Eighth Route Army and Jiang Haoran secretly was only clear to Mr. Zhu and Ye Shuai, so this sentence did not appear in the meeting.

Mr. Zhu's words at this time immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they looked at Mr. Zhu with their eyes, waiting for his next step.

Who knows that the boss smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me, I don't know the meaning of this sentence, but I can tell you, this is what a master said, the key to solving our immediate difficulties lies in these words, but I pondered for two days and couldn't figure it out, you can see if you can break his mystery?" ”

"Superior? What kind of master? Mr. He took out his pipe from his mouth and said suspiciously.

"If I can say that I won't tell you earlier, just figure it out for myself, and I don't need to ask about the rest." Mr. Zhu replied angrily, which made many people with this idea shut up.

Soon, everyone began to move closer to the map on the table.

Jinzhai is located in the border of western Anhui, the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, and is the junction of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. It is bordered by Lu'an and Huoshan counties in Anhui Province in the east, Yingshan and Luotian in Hubei Province in the south, Macheng in Hubei Province and Mall in Henan Province in the west, and Gushi County in Henan Province and Huoqiu County in Anhui Province in the north.

Jinzhai is no stranger to everyone present, and Jinzhai can be said to be a red and heavy land. In 1929, the famous Lixia Festival Uprising and the Liuhuo Uprising broke out here, and the Red Army formed 11 main Red Army teams here, including the Red 32nd Division, the 33rd Division and the Red 25th Army, which was the main birthplace of the Red Fourth Front Army and the core area of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Revolutionary Base Area, and was a real old revolutionary base area, known as the "cradle of the Red Army".

After staring at these two familiar words on the map for a long time, everyone began to stare at each other, and they didn't see at all how to form a situation where thousands of troops blocked Jinzhai.

If you want to say that the Gui army goes to Lu'an, Jinzhai is the only way to go, and the Japanese army will definitely set up a barrier in Jinzhai to ensure the smooth flow of the last traffic of the retreating troops, but it will not form a congested situation.

The reason is very simple, even if the Japanese army in Wuhan retreats, it is impossible to go to Jinzhai at all, but choose to enter from Luotian and Yingshan, and take Huoshan to Lu'an, because this road is nearly dozens of miles away, and the road is also spacious and easy to walk, which is convenient for the Japanese mechanized troops to pass quickly, and will never choose Jinzhai, which is rugged and farther away.

"What kind of master is this, shouldn't the monk in the temple pull a few fingers to calculate it?" Someone in the crowd complained, and there was a lot of approval.

There were also different voices, Mr. Lin held his hands in front of his chest, rubbed his chin with one hand, and kept his eyes off the map, as if muttering: "It's not completely impossible, it's just 616161616161"

This sentence is no less than a shock, and the people around him who heard it quickly stopped the noise, and everyone listened to Mr. Lin's opinion.

Mr. Lin continued: "It's just that there must be a force to raid Huoshan to cut off the road for the Japanese army to retreat, forcing the Japanese army to go to Jinzhai as a last resort. ”

"Cut 616161616161." As soon as Mr. Lin's voice fell, there was a sudden boos in the house.
