Under the early autumn sun, the golden sorghum on both sides of the Yellow River stretches for dozens of miles, the red ears droop low, the breeze passes, making a loud sound, after more than a year of drought, finally ushered in a bumper harvest year. \\.qВ(5), coМ//Around this dense sorghum field, countless soldiers were hurrying north along various roads, carefully avoiding the crops in the fields, carrying guns and sweating profusely.

Luo Rhuan, Chen G, Peng Xfeng stood on a small hill and watched the troops march north, due to the rapid contraction of the Japanese army, after the occupation of Puyang, the troops continued to march north, to Neihuang and Nanle, because this area was once the base of the Eighth Route Army, the mass base was very good, and the troops received strong support from the people in the process of advancing.

"The central government's call, in view of the situation in Shanxi, reminds us to be vigilant against sudden attacks on the Kuomintang side, especially Tang Enbo, who is a veteran of friction." Luo Rhuan handed the telegram in his hand to Chen G, which was a telegram forwarded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to Yan'an, in which Yan'an reminded them to always be vigilant against the Kuomintang.

"In view of this situation, I suggest that the troops temporarily stop their advance after occupying Neihuang and Nanle." Peng Dfeng said.

Chen G frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The current situation is very good, Gu Shoufu is attracted by Tang Enbo, we can just take the opportunity to enter southern Hebei, judging from the situation in Shanxi, who grabs the territory now." Once Tang Enbo defeats Gu Shoufu, he will be free to grab territory with us, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that we will strike first. ”

Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand to the staff officer next to him to ask for a map, and opened it on horseback: "You, the Japanese army in Shandong is assembled in Liaocheng, Tai'an; Gu Shoufu gathered in Anyang; According to the situation reported by the central authorities, the Japanese troops withdrawn from Shanxi will go to Changzhi, Lucheng, and Handan. In front of us, from the Cangshi Road to the bank of the Yellow River, there is almost no large enemy, and the main enemy is the puppet army. ”

"This plan is good, I think that's it," Luo Rhuan nodded and said: "Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying are still behind us, Puyang, we didn't ask for it, but Neihuang and Nanle won't be handed over to them anymore." Chen G, you can make a plan. ”

After the occupation of Puyang, Yan'an called and merged Luo Rhuan's 115th Division with Chen G's guerrilla corps, which was called unchanged externally, and was collectively referred to as the Southern Hebei Column internally, with the column commander Chen G and political commissar Luo Rhuan forming the former secretary of the Southern Hebei Committee, with Luo Rhuan as secretary and Chen G and Huang Kcheng as deputy secretaries; The troops of the 115th Division remaining in Shandong were placed under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Military Region, with Chen Y as the commander and Su Y as the deputy commander of the Shandong Military Region; The East China Bureau was established, with Rao Shushi as the secretary of the East China Bureau and Chen Y Liyu as the deputy secretary.

Chen G did not shirk or give in, he said calmly: "I see that the troops are divided into three routes, the second detachment of the guerrilla column cooperates with the 115th Division, goes straight north, captures, Wei County, Qiu County, Guantao and other places; Lao Peng, you take the third detachment, seize Linzhang, and threaten the Anyang side, remember, don't go to capture Anyang; I led the first detachment and the New Eighth Army, Pang Bingxun Sun Dianying's puppet army, captured the Daimyo, and then turned to Guanxian County, Shandong, to threaten Liaocheng from the north; The two of us were a reply to the errand given by my old classmate. ”

The Eighth Route Army also acted with the New Eighth Army and the New 110th Division, as well as Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying, who had just been reversed, the latter was particularly active, and Pang Bingxun even offered to attack Anyang from the flank.

The squadron had just crossed the Yellow River, and Gu Shoufu, who was waiting in Xinxiang, began to retreat, and the whole army withdrew to Anyang within three days.

After Tang Enbo led his troops to occupy Xinxiang, he cautiously went north along the way, and after passing Tang Yin, Tang Enbo's actions became cautious, and after a little contact with the Japanese army, he retreated. Three army groups, with a total strength of nearly 300,000 men, neither attacked nor retreated. It's not for Gu Shoufu to fight, and it's not for him to retreat.

In the Shandong battlefield, after Guan Lin conquered Zhucheng, he left the Shandong guerrilla column commanded by Xuezhong's 51st Army and Qin Qirong to attack the Quartet, and he commanded the main force to advance westward along the Jiaoji Railway and go straight to Jinan.

The situation in Jiaodong is the same as in Shanxi, not the Kuomintang and the two parties compete for territory, on the whole, the Kuomintang has the upper hand, with the help of the puppet army anyway, the Kuomintang occupies most of the area in Jiaodong, the Eighth Route Army obtains Penglai, Weihai, Yantai and other eastern areas of Jiaodong, and retains an anti-Japanese base in the Dazeshan area.

On the whole, the Kuomintang occupied the main cities and nearby villages on the Jiaoji line, and the GCD occupied the counties and villages in the farther areas, but what made the Kuomintang more taboo was that even near the Jiaoji line, the areas where the Kuomintang was strong, there were still grassroots branches of the GCD.

In Jiaodong, the two parties fought a battle around Qingdao, Xu Syou led the Jiaodong Eighth Route Army and Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army in the west of Jimo in Liugou fierce battle, Yu Xuezhong was defeated, to Guan Linzheng urgently asked for help, because of the relationship to Qingdao's gains and losses, Guan Linzheng ignored Zhuang Jihua's orders, ordered Yang Sen's 24th Army to go east with all his strength, and intercepted Xu S near Jimo, Xu S You saw that the Kuomintang army came to help, so he led his troops to retreat eastward, Yang Sen was not in a hurry to catch up, after recovering the whole territory of Jimo, he turned around and chased Guan Lin Zheng to the west.

For the puppet army anyway, Guan Linzheng didn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being, let them stay where they were, let Qin Qirong's guerrilla column divide and supervise, and Yu Xuezhong led his troops to stationed in Qingdao and Jimo to monitor the Jiaodong Eighth Route Army.

Although Guan Linzheng did not believe in GCD, he still had a GCD unit under his command, which was the Chen Y Division of the First Division of the New Fourth Army and the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army that advanced from Yimeng Mountain.

After the recovery of Jiaodong, according to the agreement reached by Chen G, Luo R Huan and Zhuang Jihua, Chen Y will command the Shandong Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to join the battle sequence under Guan Linzheng and participate in the attack on Jinan.

Guan Linzheng swept Jiaodong, Matsui Shigen couldn't sit still in Jinan City, and was ready to transfer the 62nd Division from the Taishan defense line to Jiaodong, but this order was vetoed by Okamura Ningji, Okamura Ningji urgently called from Beiping, strictly ordered not to transfer any troops from the Taishan defense line to Jiaodong, and the 62nd Division retreated to Jinan.

As soon as the 62nd Division left the Laiwu area, Lan Yundong commanded the 50th Group Army to launch an attack on the Laiwu area, while Du Yuming commanded the 50th Group Army to launch a frontal attack on Tai'an, and Zhong Bin led the 36th Group Army to attack from Pingyin to the east.

After the two wings were deployed, the Tai'an group, which was responsible for the frontal attack, had been attacking, but the scale of the attack did not exceed one company, Du Yuming, Lan Yundong, and Zhong Bin, divided into three roads, and unhurriedly advanced the Taishan defense line, biting the main force of Matsui Shigen, so that he could not draw troops from the Taishan defense line to reinforce Jiaodong and the north bank of the Yellow River. In order to ensure Du Yuming's back road, Zhuang Jihua placed the Qing Third Army in Yanzhou and Fei County of the Qing Fourth Army as a reserve for the entire campaign.

"The 62nd Division has moved," He Wei took the telegram and reported to Zhuang Jihua with a little surprise.

After the start of this attack with Jinan as the target, there were a lot of good news from all over the country, but it really has to be said that there are not many Japanese troops annihilated, only Guan Linzheng annihilated 3,000 Japanese troops in Liaocheng, Yu Xuezhong and Yang Sen eliminated nearly 1,000 Japanese troops in Qingdao, and the rest of the areas are either the Japanese army giving up on their own initiative, or the puppet army that is ready to fight anyway.

"Hmm." Zhuang Jihua just hummed softly, and then didn't say anything more, He Wei was a little strange to see this, the movements of the Japanese army were estimated before the war, and Zhuang Jihua didn't seem to have any joy.

Xu Zuyi came over, took the telegram from his hand, and then smiled lightly: "Du Guangting is asking for war, is it time to loosen his bonds." ”

"Okay, let Du Guangting take a look." Zhuang Jihua's tone was a little wandering, and he didn't seem to have made up his mind.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zuyi and He Wei felt even more strange, they looked at the information in Zhuang Jihua's hand at the same time, which was just sent by Wang Xiaoshan.

"Look at it, Okamura Ningji has the idea of abandoning the Taishan defense line, I wonder if I should let them escape back to the north bank of the Yellow River, and then annihilate them in the North China Plain." Zhuang Jihua handed the information in his hand to Xu Zuyi, Xu Zuyi was a little unconvinced when he heard this, but He Wei frowned and thought for a while, and then nodded.

Guan Linzheng from Jiaodong killed, directly to Jinan, the Taishan defense line has not much significance, if Song Xilian defeated the Japanese army on the north bank of the Yellow River again, then the Japanese army guarding Mount Tai will become a turtle in the urn, it is not a wise move to abandon the Taishan defense line.

"To conquer the Taishan defense line, the staff believes that at least 80,000 people will be lost, if the Japanese army is put on the plain, and then give full play to the advantages of our army's tanks and air force, how can it be saved by half, that is, 40,000 people, which should be more cost-effective than trading." Zhuang Jihua slowly walked to the map with his hands behind his back, still muttering.

Xu Zuyi didn't notice it, he was stunned by the content of the intelligence, Okamura Ningji actually wrote the article on the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, using Taiyuan and Qingdao as an article, what about Jinan? By the way, Jinan was stipulated at the pre-war meeting to be occupied by the Kuomintang army.

"This Okamura Ningji is really too cunning, handing over Taiyuan and Datong to GCD, he is deliberately trying to sow discord between the two parties." Xu Zuyi was very indignant, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the other party's tricks.

"This is exactly what makes Okamura Ninji more clever than other Japanese generals." Zhuang Jihua's tone was not so excited: "He has already seen clearly that the opportunity for the Japanese is in China's civil strife, and as long as China is not in civil strife, Japan will have no chance." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "It's a pity that our own people didn't see it. ”

Xu Zuyi and He Wei were silent at the same time, the Qingdao conflict had been reported, the Military Commission had also notified the Taiyuan conflict, and Chiang Kai-shek also specially called Zhuang Jihua to ask him to be vigilant against GCD fighting for territory behind **.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, the figure of Gong Xiuhua just appeared in front of the door, and then he was stopped, He Wei noticed that the person who came handed a telegram to Gong Xiuhua, Gong Xiuhua's originally relaxed face suddenly became snow-white, and his body shook, and after a while, he put the telegram away and put it in his jacket pocket, and then entered the door.
