At the Second Theater Command in Southwest Shanxi, Yan Xishan was dreaming of recovering Taiyuan when he was suddenly awakened by the chief of staff. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Commander, the military and political forces are in an emergency!" Seeing Yan Xishan's unhappy face, the chief of staff hurriedly handed the telegram in front of him and said.

"The dispatch of troops was delayed, and the Japanese army returned to the reinforcements for three days, is Lao Jiang playing the old man and me as a monkey?" The dissatisfied expression on Yan Xishan's face was directly replaced by anger, and then scolded mercilessly.

Then he ordered: "Go to the war room now!" ”

"Also, the Eighth Route Army attacked Taiyuan, why didn't you report such a big thing earlier! When this matter is over, I'll clean you up! ”

When Yan Xishan arrived at the brightly lit headquarters, the staff had already marked all the relevant information on the sand table.

Before Yan Xishan could speak, the staff officer on duty ran over and reported: "Commander, the Japanese reinforcement troops in the southwest of Shanxi are divided into two groups, two cavalry wings in the forward, and a mechanized infantry brigade have set off, and the speed is very fast, and they will be able to kill outside Taiyuan City by tomorrow night at the latest!" ”

"It is almost impossible for us to drag them down according to the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, unless we directly mobilize the cavalry division directly under the theater of operations, pass through the Japanese defense line, and fight behind the Japanese army!"

"This is too dangerous, a bad cavalry division will be attacked by the enemy and the whole army will be annihilated, our staff department does not recommend this."

Seeing that Yan Xishan had a gloomy face and did not speak, the staff officer on duty continued to report.

"The second wave of Japanese reinforcements included two infantry wings and one artillery wing, with a total strength of more than eight thousand."

"Now this unit is being assembled, and it is estimated that it will be out in two hours!"

"If we are going to send troops to hold them back, we have to go now, and we must mobilize at least three divisions to take the initiative!"

"In addition, the attacking troops will also face the dangerous situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy and the entire army will be annihilated!"

"Say no more!" Yan Xishan finally spoke.

After glaring fiercely at the staff officer on duty, he scolded mercilessly: "Are you from the Central Army or from the Jin Sui Army!" Sending three main divisions through the Japanese defense line to intercept the Japanese reinforcements is a matter of life and death. We have only these troops left in the Jin Sui Army, and if we lose three main divisions at a time, I won't do such a stupid thing, old man! ”

"But an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs?" The chief of staff suddenly reminded.

Yan Xishan frowned and did not come back immediately, but stared at the location of Taiyuan on the sand table.

As the former king of Shanxi, Yan Xishan wanted to return to Taiyuan more than anyone else.

However, the strength of the opponent's North China Front was too strong, and the Jin Sui Army in his hand was not angry, so he could only give up this idea again and again, and then entrenched in the southwest of Jin, waiting for the opportunity.

In front of him, the Eighth Route Army attacked Taiyuan City, and his idea of returning to Taiyuan City was aroused again. Then he asked the chief of staff with his eyes fixed on the sand table.

"Don't care about dragging the Japanese reinforcements back for now, I don't care about these few minutes. Chief of Staff, first of all, give me a brief introduction to the battle situation around Taiyuan City! You all analyze whether Taiyuan City is likely to be recovered by the Eighth Route Army! ”

"Yes! Commander...... The Eighth Route Army gathered 50,000 main forces around Taiyuan City! There are nearly 20,000 Japanese troops, and there are more than 10,000 imperial allies! ”

"However, the Japanese puppet army was well-armed and had plenty of ammunition. And the Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped and lacked ammunition! ”

"Although the Eighth Route Army now has an advantage on the battlefield, we deduce that the longer this battle lasts, the more disadvantageous the Eighth Route Army will be, and it is possible that the entire army will be destroyed!"

"One of the biggest problems is ammunition supply and air defense!"

"Without ammunition supply, the Eighth Route Army could only choose to fight bayonets with the Japanese. And after dawn, Japanese planes will come to the battlefield and bomb the troops of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"I see!" Yan Xishan's face directly showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Lao Jiang killed two birds with one stone, forced the Eighth Route Army to attack Taiyuan City, borrowed a knife to kill people, and let the Japanese consume the 50,000 Eighth Route Army around Taiyuan. Let's send troops to drag the Japanese reinforcements, and we can also consume several of our main divisions, so calculated! ”

Speaking of this, the gloomy expression on Yan Xishan's face was directly replaced by a sneer.

"However, Lao Jiang also underestimated me Yan Xishan and the Eighth Route Army too much!"

"Do he think that one of his orders can make the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese desperate to the end? Joke! ”

"Commander, what do you mean: the Eighth Route Army will disobey the military orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs!" The chief of staff asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Of course not, if you disobey the order so directly, it will be to find an opportunity for Lao Jiang to suppress them. You didn't see the reply from the Eighth Route Army to the Ministry of Military Affairs: Only if we hold back the Japanese reinforcements will they continue to attack the city. Then Lao Jiang gave us an order to delay the Japanese army's return reinforcements for three days, and counted our Jin Sui army into it! ”

"The Eighth Route Army calculated that we could not hold back the Japanese reinforcements, and then we had the courage to take over the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs to attack Taiyuan City. As for whether there is any other reason, I don't know! ”

Hearing this, the chief of staff couldn't help but scold: "Commander, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, if it weren't for them, Lao Jiang wouldn't have thought of us at all!" ”

"Also, if we don't send troops to drag down the Japanese army in Taiyuan in the north, it will be our Jin Sui army disobeying the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. When the time comes, he will definitely be reprimanded by Lao Jiang and the Ministry of Military Affairs! ”

Yan Xishan replied with a smile instead of anger: "If that's the case, Lao Jiang also underestimates me Yan Xishan too much!" ”

"Chief of Staff, don't forget, in addition to the Jin Sui Army in our second theater, there are also troops of the Central Army!"

The chief of staff immediately showed a suddenly realized expression: "Yes, let the central army go!" ”

"The Ministry of Military Affairs has given orders to our Second Theater, and our Second Theater has given orders to the Central Army, and the Ministry of Military Affairs must not bypass the Second Theater Command to give orders to the division commanders and army commanders below!"

"When the time comes, Lao Jiang will calculate and calculate, and finally calculate it on his head!"

Yan Xishan said: "The central army is attacking, and our Jin Sui army can't stand still. ”

"The Eighth Route Army fights Taiyuan, no matter whether Taiyuan can be defeated or not, our Jin Sui Army, as the real master of Taiyuan City, must help the field!"

"We have no way to slow down the Japanese reinforcements in the southwest of Jin, but we can take the initiative to attack. The Japanese took out more than 10,000 people from the southwest of Shanxi at a time, and there will definitely be many defensive gaps in the Japanese defense line facing us. ”

"Also, if we only let the Central Army in the Second War Zone be dispatched, and our Jin Sui Army does not move, it is not reasonable and reasonable!"

"Chief of Staff, according to the old man's idea just now, draw up a battle plan, I will sign it, and then implement it immediately!"
