[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 720: Kimura Goes South (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Although it is very unkind to calculate such a patriotic general, and Ma Zheng also knows that Gao Shuxun's life is not easy after killing Shi Yousan, the Japanese army saw that Shi Yousan was removed, so they had no scruples, so they concentrated their superior forces to attack Gao Shuxun's department, resulting in extremely heavy losses for Gao Shuxun's department. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for the timely reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, Gao Shuxun's headquarters would probably be wiped out by the Japanese army on the spot.

Moreover, the Nationalist Government was deeply concerned about Gao Shuxun's killing of Shi Yousan without trial, although Gao Shuxun insisted on resisting the war behind enemy lines for 5 years, bringing back the strength of the two armies of the 39th Group Army to the Nationalist Government. But afterwards, Lao Jiang wanted him to go to Chongqing to meet Jin, and a few days after he left, Tang Enbo poached his 69th Army.

Soon after, Lao Chiang sent Hu Bohan as the commander of the New Eighth Army and seized his military power. What made Gao Shuxun even more unexpected was that when he met Lao Jiang in Chongqing, Lao Jiang almost asked Dai Li to detain him.

What happened later made him even more indignant, he asked for 3 million yuan for the 39th Group Army, Lao Jiang asked him to go to He Yingqin, He Yingqin just pushed it, and Hu Zongnan, who was also the commander-in-chief, asked for 30 million, ten times the amount he wanted, but Lao Jiang did not refuse. In 1945, when the Sixth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang circled the members of the Central Committee, the commander-in-chief of the country, Gao Shuxun, was the only one who was not elected by the circle, which made Gao Shuxun feel embarrassed.

However, Ma Zheng also knew that Gao Shuxun was bound to become a comrade with him, and it was not a big deal to use it now, it was all for the country and the nation.

Xie Wensheng was very happy after learning that Shi Yousan's department had been buried alive by Gao Shuxun, although in his opinion, Shi Yousan's 69th Army was a paper tiger even if it added the New Eighth Army, and it was not an opponent of the Eighth Route Army at all. Although it is really necessary to fight, it will take a lot of effort to solve these two armies, but it is definitely not a difficult task.

But now that someone is willing to take the initiative to do it for him, it is even better, and in the reply he received from Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng spoke highly of Gao Shuxun, and even called Gao Shuxun a comrade, saying that Gao Shuxun is a comrade who can be trusted. Don't underestimate the title of comrade, at that time, ordinary people could not be called comrades, comrade comrade, that is what like-minded people can say, I have never seen the chairman call Jiang Lao Jiang comrade.

Xie Wensheng was naturally very happy to have such a big trouble, so when he saw Ma Zheng telling them in the telegram that they could give appropriate help to the New Eighth Army led by Gao Shuxun if they needed it, Xie Wensheng naturally had no objection, in his opinion, it was just a matter of beating rabbits with grass.

Now for Kimura Hyotaro, the ally of Ishiyuzo has been completely dead, so the tactics of surrendering without a fight have been completely aborted. Then the next thing must be to conquer by force, and the first target of the Japanese army must be to destroy the culprit of their rebellion against the 39th Army - Gao Shuxun!

Since the little devil is looking for trouble with Gao Shuxun, and the purpose of the Eighth Route Army is to fight devils, the goals of Xie Wensheng's department and Gao Shuxun's department are the same. For Xie Wensheng, helping Gao Shuxun is the same thing as completing his own mission. And helping Gao Shuxun's department can also make Gao Shuxun, a lieutenant general, lose his favor by the way, why not do it.

Solving the time bomb of Shi Yousan made everyone except the Japanese very happy, especially for Ma Zheng. Although this period of time was quite hard, the progress of all units was not bad.

But it was different for Kimura Hyotaro, Shi Yousan was killed, then the surrender of the 39th Army was completely ruined, which made this war machine full of killing extremely angry, after killing a large number of civilians, Kimura Hyotaro ordered the 32nd Division, the 35th Division, and the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Independent Mixed Brigade to immediately go south to fight, and attack Gao Shuxun's headquarters with all his might, and he wanted to take Gao Shuxun by surprise when Gao Shuxun had not yet fully grasped the favorable opportunity of the 39th Army.

Although Gao Shuxun also expected that the Japanese army might launch an attack on the 39th Army, Gao Shuxun still underestimated the Japanese army's hatred for him and the New Eighth Army. On January 15, the 32nd Infantry Wing of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army reached Shahe, south of Xingtai, while the main force of the 32nd Division and the 35th Division led by Kimura Hyotaro was stationed in Xingtai.

Gao Shuxun is also very single, after receiving a telegram from the 181st Division stationed in Wu'an, he immediately ordered the 181st Division to enter a combat state, once the Japanese army attacked Wu'an, then the 181st Division should hold Wu'an at all costs, and also told the commander of the 181st Division that there was a division reinforcement that would soon arrive in Wu'an to support them, but before that, it was necessary to hold Wu'an.

As the gateway to Handan, Wu'an has a geographical location similar to that of Shahe, as long as Wu'an is held, the Japanese army will not dare to attack Handan unscrupulously. But Gao Shuxun himself also knew that the Japanese army was determined to take down his new Eighth Army, and once the war started, it would inevitably be a bitter battle to the death. Therefore, before the start of the war, Gao Shuxun sent a telegram to the Ministry of Military Affairs asking for help, hoping that Chairman Chiang would send troops to the rescue.

To be honest, Lao Jiang didn't have a good impression of Gao Shuxun, and he didn't plan to deal with him, but Chen Cheng was a real soldier, and he himself hated Shi Yousan for defecting to the Japanese and persecuting friendly troops. Although Gao Shuxun's execution of Shi Yousan is a bit overstepping, it is indeed a bit excessive, but this does not prevent Chen Cheng from appreciating Gao Shuxun.

Moreover, considering the overall situation of the war, Handan's 69th Army and the New Eighth Army must really be reinforced, otherwise these miscellaneous armies will not be easy to command in the future. Originally, the Northwest Army had always regarded Chiang as the greatest enemy, and many veteran generals of the Northwest Army did not have a good impression of Chiang and the Central Army headed by Lao Chiang.

Whether it was Feng Yuxiang of the former Northwest Army or Yang Hucheng, the leader of the Northwest Army, they had made Lao Jiang lose face, so the contradiction between the Northwest Army and Lao Jiang can be said to have been a long time.

Therefore, Chen Cheng persuaded Lao Chiang to proceed from the overall strategic situation and the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the people, and should still send troops to support Gao Shuxun, after all, the current Gao Shuxun is still subordinate to the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army, and if he does not support it, he will poke people in the backbone. The most important thing is that now that the Eighth Route Army is fighting hard with the Japanese army in North China, and the Nationalist Government is not moving, then the government will inevitably be criticized by domestic and international public opinion.

More importantly, if Gao Shuxun's department was forced by the Japanese army to jump over the wall in a hurry, it was likely to fall to the Eighth Route Army, and then the entire Nationalist Government would lose face.

The old Jiang in front didn't care at all, whoever likes to talk about it will go. I think that when he massacred the Communist Party members in Shanghai in 27 years, many people scolded him Jiang in the open and in secret, but what could it be, he is not alive and well now. Whoever wants to say it, let him say it, it's a big deal to let Mr. Zhou and those reporters scold in the newspaper again, it doesn't matter.

But Chen Cheng's latter sentence caught Lao Jiang's itch, when the Northwest Army was in Shaanxi, he had a relationship with the **** in northern Shaanxi, and Yang Hucheng and others dared to secretly "murder" him, not sure that this Gao Shuxun really dared to take refuge in those mud legs.

I always felt a little uneasy after thinking about it, and in the end, Lao Jiang decided to send a force to support Gao Shuxun! But what about which troops to send there, the distance is far away, and the water can't quench the thirst of the near, and when the distant troops arrive and the daylily is cold, it won't play much role at all, and there is really no force in the near distance that can take on this support task.

Southern Hebei is close to Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong, and its geographical location is very important, and it cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese, let alone the Eighth Route Army. In the past two years, the territory seized by the Eighth Route Army has been large enough, and more than half of the territory of the two provinces of Suicha has fallen under the control of the Eighth Route Army, and more than 20 counties and cities in northern Shanxi and eastern Hebei have also become the pockets of the Eighth Route Army.

Coupled with the so-called Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region in Shaanxi, the Eighth Route Army in Hebei and Shandong, as well as the territory controlled by the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan, Yan'an is now about to become a behemoth. Therefore, in any case, southern Hebei cannot fall into the hands of others, especially not in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, even if the Kuomintang and the Communist Party turn their faces.
