Chapter 683: Yan Xishan is in a dilemma

The abnormal movement of Japanese troops has already attracted the attention of the top brass of the Chinese troops, especially the huge combat strength of the Japanese army's transfer of three divisions, two mixed brigades, one mixed brigade, and one cavalry brigade.

Of course, the top brass of the Chinese troops also knew that if the Japanese troops were only to deal with the Jin Sui army, there was no need for them to transfer so many troops.

And the only thing that could make the Japanese troops make such a big move was the troops of the New Second Brigade.

The great victory of the troops of the New Second Brigade in Xiyang County, in which they completely annihilated the Japanese army and formed the Fifth Brigade and killed Qin Yashang, the commander of the Lieutenant General's Brigade.

Since the Japanese troops entered China, they have never suffered such a humiliation.

The troops of the New Second Brigade first surrounded and annihilated the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army, captured the captain of the Dazuo Wing, captured the flag of the 119th Wing, and then surrounded and annihilated the independent mixed Fifth Brigade and killed the commander of the Lieutenant General's Brigade.

The Japanese army in North China had reached the limit of their tolerance for Sun Weiguo's new 2nd Brigade, even though they knew that the transfer of so many troops to the war would inevitably cause the emptiness of many troops in the occupied areas, but they still transferred troops, and this time the Japanese army in North China planned to encircle and annihilate the troops of the New 2nd Brigade at all costs.

The New Second Brigade can be described as a well-known elite unit, and when it comes to Sun Weiguo and the New Second Brigade, everyone in China knows about it.

Even the troops of other factions, when it comes to Sun Weiguo and the New Second Brigade, they have to give a thumbs up.

It is such a unit, which has now become the banner of resistance against Japan and has become a model for the anti-Japanese forces.

Even the chairman of the NPC National Committee knew very well that the troops of the New Second Brigade could not be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, and once the New Second Brigade was surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Catherine interviewed the troops of the New Second Brigade, and many people in the international community also know that the Chinese army has a unit called the New Second Brigade, which is an elite unit that has brought several blows to the Japanese army.

Even a certain military strategist in the United States openly commented in an interview that only the New Second Brigade is the most combat-effective unit of the Chinese troops.

Such a force cannot be surrounded and annihilated, this is a situation that the top brass of the Chinese army is aware of.

However, the Japanese troops have begun to sharpen their knives near Pingding County, and the troops of the New Second Brigade have not yet withdrawn, which makes the bigwigs of the troops a little annoyed.

The chairman's telegram was soon sent to the Second War Zone, and this time the chairman did not give Yan Xishan face, and when he mentioned that the troops of the New Second Brigade had not yet withdrawn from Pingding County, the chairman expressed his dissatisfaction with extreme disappointment and Yan Xishan's unfavorable command.

If it weren't for Yan Xishan or the soil emperor of Shanxi, and he controlled a large number of Jin Sui troops, I am afraid that the chairman would have scolded him a long time ago.

After Yan Xishan received the telegram from the chairman, he had the feeling of hiding in an underground air-raid shelter and lying down with a gun.

After receiving the telegram, he immediately urged the New Second Brigade to evacuate Pingding County, but the troops of the New Second Brigade did not evacuate for a long time.

If the new Second Brigade was a Jin Sui Army, Yan Xishan naturally didn't have to bother so much, but the New Second Brigade was a unit of the Eighth Route Army, and Sun Weiguo was a commander who even dared to disobey the orders of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Yan Xishan would not think that Sun Weiguo would obediently obey his command.

"Send a telegram to the troops of the new 2nd Brigade and ask them to immediately evacuate Binh Dinh County. Judging from the current situation, if the troops of the New Second Brigade were really surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese, the chairman of the committee would certainly not let me go, and even if the chairman let me go, public opinion would not let me go. ”

Yan Xishan gave an order to Chief of Staff Zhu Shouguang, and he couldn't wait for the troops of the New Second Brigade to withdraw from Pingding County.

"General, I heard that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also issued an evacuation order to the new Second Brigade, but Sun Weiguo refused to carry it out, and in the end this matter was over, it seems that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army acquiesced to the new Second Brigade staying in Pingding County." Zhu Shouguang said with a look of embarrassment.

"By the way, doesn't Sun Weiguo like weapons and ammunition, you tell Sun Weiguo that as long as he is willing to evacuate Pingding County, I will find a way to get you a tank even if he wants it." If their troops are really surrounded and annihilated, how will I explain to the chairman of the committee, and how will I explain to the troops and people of the whole country. ”

Yan Xishan said with a look of embarrassment, he was extremely anxious now.

The Japanese army mobilized tens of thousands of troops, and in Yan Xishan's view, even if the new second brigade had great ability, as long as they stayed in Pingding County, they would definitely be surrounded and annihilated this time.

At half past nine o'clock in the evening of the 26th, the Second Theater sent three telegrams to the New Second Brigade in succession, and Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater, ordered Sun Weiguo to immediately lead the New Second Brigade to evacuate Pingding County, promising weapons and ammunition from the very beginning, but in the end, Yan Xishan was eager to immediately find the planes, tanks, and artillery and send them to Sun Weiguo.

However, the new Second Brigade never called back to the commander of the Second Theater, and Sun Weiguo's decision is still impossible to change.

He didn't get a call back from the New Second Brigade, so Yan Xishan had no choice but to call back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, hoping that Mr. Zhu would sell him a face and let the New Second Brigade evacuate immediately.

Yan Xishan had no choice, the new Second Brigade was in the second theater of operations, and if such a force was surrounded and annihilated, he could not imagine the consequences.

The head of the headquarters acquiesced in the fact that the New Second Brigade stayed in Pingding County, and they could only say that they would do their best to persuade the New Second Brigade to evacuate Yan Xishan's telegram.

Over the course of one night, the communications company of the New Second Brigade and the communications organs of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army continued to receive telegrams, and the level of personnel sending them became higher and higher.

But Sun Weiguo still did not make any response, and the time was four o'clock in the morning of the 26th in the blink of an eye.

The morning of June came relatively early, and it was already dark at four o'clock.

The Japanese troops of the Fifth Route assembled in Yuci County, Xiyang County, Yangquan County, Jingcheng County, and Zanhuang County began to assemble and stand by, but their reconnaissance troops had already begun to be dispatched.

The atmosphere of the war was very strong, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops were ready to attack Binh Dinh County.

At half past four o'clock in the morning of the 26th, in the county seat of Pingding County, Yang Tiezhu, commander of the communications company, urgently came to Sun Weiguo with a telegram.

This telegram was forwarded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the telegram was personally sent by the chairman of the committee.

The chairman of the committee directly issued an order in the telegram, and the chairman demanded that the new Second Brigade immediately withdraw from Pingding County after receiving the telegram, and if Sun Weiguo disobeyed the order, he would be removed from his post and the number of the new second brigade would also be canceled.
