After the North China Front replenished a large number of troops, General Terauchi Shouichi's waist suddenly straightened a lot, and his subordinates defeated Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui army in one fell swoop in the North China pacification operation, and reoccupied Taiyuan City.

He understood that in the current stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was still a very great disparity in strength between China and Japan, and now was the time when the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was the strongest and its momentum was at its peak; on the frontal battlefield, the Kuomintang army could not resist the Japanese army's fierce attack at all, and the combat effectiveness of one of their divisions was enough to suppress a group army of the Kuomintang.

The most important purpose of the Chinese army today is not to keep the territory, but to eliminate as many devils as possible in order to consume more of the Japanese army's living forces.

So far, Chang Kaishen's anti-Japanese policy is undoubtedly very correct; in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, he insists on fighting a protracted war with the Japanese army, exchanging time for space, accumulating small victories into big victories, consuming the elite of the Japanese army, waiting for great changes in the external environment, waiting for Japan, which lacks greed, to cocoon itself and provoke Europe, the United States, or the Soviet Union, so that international forces can stand on China's side and support China's war of resistance.

As a result, there was really a great change in history that Chang Kaishen expected, and the Japanese were not strong enough to swallow the elephant, so they formulated a southward strategy and fought with the British and Mi, resulting in the final defeat by several major powers in the world.

Of course, although Chang Kaishen's anti-Japanese war strategy was correct, China's sacrifices were too great, the Nanjing Massacre, the Huayuankou embankment burst, the Changsha fire, and the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy, all of which were the tragic price paid by the Kuomintang army for the War of Resistance, and many of the more tragic tragedies could have been avoided.

Zhang Cheng traveled back to this era, although he was inseparable from the KMT, but the people under the rule of the KMT were innocent, so Zhang Cheng still tried his best to prevent the above tragedy from happening.

However, now Zhang Cheng is thinking more about how to bring the main force of the instructor to the hinterland of Qilu unconsciously, so he discussed it with the political commissar and other division members for two days before he preliminarily drew up the plan for the instructor's march.

Qilu was originally ruled by the warlord Han Fuyu, Han Fuyu had more than 100,000 troops, with such a strong military force, he could have rejected the Japanese army outside the door, but on December 20, 1937, when the Japanese army broke through the Yellow River moat from Qilu, Han Fuyu openly disobeyed the order, abandoned the land and fled, successively abandoned Jinan, Tai'an, Jiuzhou and other large and medium-sized cities, and retreated to Juye, Caoxian and other places in southwest Shandong, and continued to prepare to retreat westward.

Due to Han Fuyu's self-collapse without a fight, the door of Xuzhou was opened for a while, and large cities such as Zhengzhou and Wuhan were also threatened by the flanks, and the whole country was shaken.

During this period, Dai Li, Chang Kaishen's number one dog-legged son, also further grasped the information that Han Fuyu had secret contacts with Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Japanese North China Front, Nishio Zao, commander of the northern section of the Japanese army's Jinpu Road, and Kenji Dohihara, a major spy of the Japanese army, in an attempt to join forces with Japan to make abnormalities and create a situation of "independent autonomy" in Qilu.

At the same time, Song Zheyuan, commander-in-chief of the First Group Army, who led his troops to retreat to Xinxiang and Puyang in Henan after the defeat in southern Hebei, also reported in secret that Han Fuyu had sent representatives to persuade the Song army, proposing that Liu Xiang order the Sichuan army to close the road into Sichuan, and that Han himself lead his troops to withdraw from Nanyang, Xiangfan, and Hanzhong, hoping that the Song troops would withdraw to the west of Tongguan and that the joint telegram would be normal.

After Chang Kaishen got the report about Han Fuyu, he was furious. He also remembered that Han Fuyu had forcibly seized the central government's tax power over Qilu, and issued a "horse telegram" during the Xi'an Incident, expressing support for Zhang and Yang to launch the Xi'an Incident.

Later, Chang Kaishen lured Han Fuyu to Kaifeng for a meeting in the name of convening a high-level meeting of officers of the Anti-Japanese War, and then made Han Fuyu separate from more than 100,000 Qilu troops, Dai Li led the spies to arrest Han Fuyu, and finally quickly escorted Han Fuyu to Wuhan by train, and executed immediately after the trial.

After Han Fuyu was shot, he did play a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and after the news spread, the warlords in various places on the battlefield quickly became firm in fighting against the Japanese army, and their bravery even surpassed that of the Central Army of the People's Party. In particular, the Sichuan Army, which sent the most troops, fought with the Japanese army to the end with the most rudimentary equipment, and composed a series of heroic war songs that can be sung and cried.

Taking advantage of the fierce fighting between the Japanese army and the Kuomintang army in the Central Plains, this is a great opportunity for the instructor to take advantage of the weakness and advance into the hinterland of Qilu. Zhang Cheng and the political commissar drafted a telegram overnight, reporting to the commander-in-chief the instructor's plan and goal of advancing to Qilu.

After receiving the telegram from the instructor, the commander ordered the guards to quickly find Mr. Zhu, Ye Shuai and other central leaders, and he wanted to discuss with the boss and them the big plan for the instructor to advance into Qilu and establish an anti-Japanese base area behind the enemy lines in Qilu.

At this time, the Japanese army had already occupied the Yangtze River valley, the core of the Kuomintang rule, and in addition, the North China Front reoccupied Taiyuan after replenishing a large number of troops, and the next target of the Japanese army was Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, and Wuhan.

However, according to Zhang Cheng's plan, that is, every time the Japanese army occupies a place, the Eighth Route Army will fully call on the masses in the areas occupied by the Japanese army and mobilize the masses to launch a war of resistance behind enemy lines, so as to override the rule of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army's rule can only reach large and medium-sized cities and railway trunk lines, while the Eighth Route Army will take the opportunity to implement the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside in order to gain real benefits.

In particular, the strategic plan of the instructor to advance into Qilu can be called a stroke of genius. Qilu is located on the coast of the East China Sea, has always been one of the richest provinces in the country, if Qilu can be used as the base of the Eighth Route Army, its development potential is much greater than that of the northwest base area, especially the population of Qilu has reached more than 30 million, and it is easy to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops.

Thinking of this, even if the commander had always been unable to change his face when Mount Tai collapsed, he couldn't help but get excited, and his face turned red, as if he was drunk.

Thinking of Zhang Cheng's repeated miracles since he became the commander of the Young Communist Division, as long as he dared to think about it, there was nothing he couldn't do, and now if the instructor wants to go to Qilu to develop an anti-Japanese base area, he will definitely be able to make the land of Qilu the largest base area of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and the Eighth Route Army will grow thousands of times more and more just around the corner.

However, after Zhang Cheng led the main force of the instructor to advance into Qilu, the Jin-Shaanxi-Sui base area that he had just created was about to change its leader, and the commander decided to listen to Zhang Cheng's opinion first to see if he had a suitable candidate to recommend.
