Chapter 250: Influence
"Lao Peng, have you read today's newspaper? Hehe, Xiao Yueben has been issuing statements saying that our report is untrue in the past two days, but he has not been able to come up with strong evidence to refute us. After a few days of-for-tat, today Xiao Yuben finally admitted that Hideki Tojo was indeed dead, and I was a little surprised that Xiao Yuben personally admitted this matter so quickly. I don't know what the hell this little devil is thinking in his heart. Zhu De walked into the room with a newspaper in his hand.
Peng Dehuai put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile: "Lao Zhu, look at you." Wasn't this outcome expected by us? When the chairman and his old man agreed to hype up Tojo's death, we all knew in our hearts that this would happen. Zhang Dongbei has never disappointed us, at that time, even the chairman after seeing the telegram we sent in the past strongly supported, it can be seen that the chairman is also convinced of Zhang Dongbei's ability, since Zhang Dongbei really killed Tojo Hideki, then in the end we will get this result. Lao Zhu, be calm, look at the way you look now, where is the demeanor of a general. ”
Zhu De said with a disdainful face: "Cut, what's wrong with the general, the general is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, can't a person laugh or cry after becoming a general, then who loves to be this general, anyway, my old Zhu is not rare." Besides, the high-level of the military personally confirmed the death of Hideki Tojo, which is an immeasurable blow to those invading Chinese troops who are still on Chinese territory, and it is no less than the blow caused by our capture of Xuzhou to Xiao Yuemoto. With such a big victory, I can't be happy. And I don't believe you, Lao Peng didn't feel a little bit in his heart after knowing the news? ”
Peng Dehuai laughed and said: "Lao Zhu, I'm kidding you, do you really think I'm not excited, let me tell you, I can't wait to sing a song now, don't you see that my hands are still shaking?" Why is this, I was troubled by this news. Lao Zhu, will their comrades know the news? If you don't know, let everyone know now, so that everyone can be happy. ”
Zhu De smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same, it's still like your old Peng's style." Of course, I'm going to share it with you first. I haven't even sent a report to the central government yet, so I'll have to send a report to the central government first, and as for the others, I'll notify them after I finish sending the report. As he spoke, he happily walked out the door.
When the news brought back by Zhu De spread throughout the Eighth Route Army, all the soldiers were happy to dance, and in just a few months, two generals of the army were killed, which caused immeasurable losses to the army that invaded China, although the soldiers did not understand very well how much damage the wounded and dead general caused to the army, but they knew very well in their hearts that some time ago Matsui Ishine hung up, and now Hideki Tojo is dying again. Within a few months, the army will lose two generals in a row, and the army's morale will be chaotic, and if it attacks at this time, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the little devils.
Therefore, the troops that had previously arranged the heavy task of defense all came to Zhang Dongbei again and asked to fight. It's just that all these people's requests were rejected by Zhang Dongbei. Although the heart of the little devil army is indeed shaken now, but this time the little devil has suffered such a big loss, they will definitely take crazy revenge, so the top priority now is to defend Xuzhou, because even if the Eighth Route Army does not take the initiative to attack this time, Xiao Yueben will definitely take action against the Eighth Route Army again. And just yesterday, Zhang Dongbei has suggested that the two troops of [***] and He Long should be called back, the original plan was to feint by [***] He Long to get rid of the forces of all sides of the army, and then Zhang Dongbei took the trained team members to rob the plane, but now the situation has changed, the army not only lost a wing of troops in the battle of Xinqiao Airport, but also lost a general, a lieutenant general and a large Zuo, and dozens of other commanders at all levels, which can be described as heavy losses. In particular, the death of Hideki Tojo was a great blow to the Japanese army, and his death was no less than a major earthquake that occurred in the local area. Therefore, the plan that Zhang Dongbei made before will now have to make some adjustments. If according to the previous plan, the army would only lose an airport garrison and a fighter at most, even if the little devils would guess that it was the Eighth Route Army, they would not be angry, but now it is different, now the army has lost more than one garrison and one plane, if the army does not take any action in response, then they are not small people. So now defending Xuzhou is the top priority now, rather than taking the initiative. The art of war is cloudy: meet the enemy's tired soldiers with a leisurely army, and get twice the result with half the effort. Since the little devil himself wants to come to Xuzhou, why should he waste that energy and run to find them by himself.
Although He Long is no longer in Xuzhou, the death of Hideki Tojo has now spread all over the country, even the world, especially after he personally confirmed this fact, this has become the headline of major newspapers, not to mention [***] and He Long, even a common person is estimated to have known about this matter. Therefore, after they received the recall order, they immediately returned to the court. When [***] and He Long returned to Xuzhou with the team, they really shocked everyone, and in just one or two months, the team of these two people was more than double the size before they went out. At this point, nearly 300,000 Eighth Route Army once again guarded Xuzhou City like an iron wall.
The Eighth Route Army took an extremely tight defense of Xuzhou and waited for the arrival of the little devil, but the little devil did not come, but they asked them to wait for the reporter interview group of the Central Newspaper. Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army has won successive battles, and its record is better than that of the Kuomintang, and especially after the Eighth Route Army recently captured Xuzhou, its prestige has reached an unprecedented high, as the Central Newspaper should report on the achievements of the Eighth Route Army. However, due to the intervention of the national political axe, the reporter of the Central Newspaper never came to Xuzhou to cover the Battle of Xuzhou of the Eighth Route Army. However, the capture of Xuzhou was not over, in just two months, the Eighth Route Army once again made an astonishing move, attacking the Shimbashi Airport, annihilating a wing of nearly 5,000 people of the Shimbashi Garrison, and the most sensational thing was to shoot down Tojo Hideki, so that the newly appointed supreme commander of the Chinese invasion army met the king of Hades before he stepped on the land of Naka. After this great victory, the national political axe did not dare to intervene in the news media, because since the army personally confirmed the death of Hideki Tojo, all parts of the country openly supported the Eighth Route Army and supported [***], and some radical students in large and small cities across the country even marched on the streets with the slogan "Only [***] can save China", and the prestige of the national political axe was now vanished in the hearts of the people. However, it is no wonder that the people saw only how the national political axe abandoned Shanghai, how to lose Nanjing, how to withdraw from Wuhan, and how to withdraw from Xuzhou, all of which made the soldiers who died on the battlefield in order to defend the land blind, and made the families of these soldiers feel cold. The Eighth Route Army marched all the way, recovering the towns that the national political axe had lost little by little, and now [***] has become the desire of the people, not only the people living at the bottom of the society, but also those big businessmen have also begun to secretly contact with the Eighth Route Army. Because everyone doesn't know what amazing things the Eighth Route Army will do next, some people even predict that the Eighth Route Army may soon defeat all the little devils in China, and then take the troops to the main island. Therefore, this time the Central News Agency reporter interview group came to Xuzhou, and the national political axe could only turn a blind eye. And more importantly, Chiang Kai-shek has no time to look eastward, and all he is thinking about now is how to restore the people's lost confidence in the national political axe, and if he cannot get the people to have a sense of trust in the national political axe again in the shortest possible time, then he is afraid that he will be out of the field. Chiang Kai-shek has been sitting in a high position for so long, it is impossible for him not to understand this truth, so it can also be said that he now has no extra energy to manage this group of reporters in the Central Newspaper. And it is precisely because Chiang Kai-shek has no time to pay attention at the moment that Chiang Kai-shek personally issued a first-class assassination order against Zhang Dongbei in the near future.
