Section 7 Turmoil XI
In the early autumn, under the city of Linfen, the soldiers of the Jin army wearing basket gray military uniforms did not hesitate to go under the city, the sun flag and the puppet government flag fluttering on the head of the city fell to the ground, the city gate opened, and two war horses rushed out of the city. //、qВ5、CoМ//
"Hahaha" Yan Xishan stroked his head, looked up to the sky and laughed, patted the chief of staff Guo Zongfen beside him and said loudly: "Brother Zaiyang, Brother Zaiyang, we are back again." ”
The Japanese army shrunk its forces in Shanxi and prepared to withdraw from Shanxi, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Second Theater to immediately start preparing for a counteroffensive, and Yan Xishan was still suspicious at first, but then, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Hu Zong to go out of Tongguan in the south, cross the river from Fengling, and go to Shanxi. The Wei Lihuang Department in the Zhongtiao Mountains counterattacked Yuncheng with one army, and the puppet army stationed in Yuncheng was anyway, and then the puppet army stationed in Yongji also announced that it was anyway.
At the same time, the Eighth Route Army, which was active in the northwest of Shanxi, attacked from all sides, successively won seven or eight counties in the northwest of Shanxi, and the main force was assembled on the periphery of Datong. Yan Xishan woke up like a dream here, and immediately ordered all units of the Jin Sui Army to launch a counteroffensive, and the four group armies belonging to the Jin Sui Army launched an attack on the Japanese army's cities respectively, and after Wei Lihuang captured Yuncheng, he immediately divided his troops to attack the four directions, and Xia County, Yuanqu, and Jiang County on the periphery of Zhongtiao Mountain fell into the hands of the Central Army.
In the face of the Jin Sui Army, which was still negotiating to defect to the Imperial Army more than a year ago, but now it is launching an attack on the Imperial Army, the commander of the First Army, Yoshiki Sadachi, has no way at all, and the only troops of the First Army that he can still command now are the 63rd Division and the Fourth Mixed Brigade, but the defense area is Shanxi and Suiyuan Provinces.
However, he could not complain about this, and both the base camp and the North China Dispatch Army decided to abandon Shanxi and transfer Shanxi troops to save the critical situation in Henan and Shandong. The city of Taiyuan was busy, and all the troops withdrawn from southern Jinnan were concentrated here, "a large number of overseas Chinese doing business in Shanxi had already boarded the buses and fled Shanxi," and the vanguard of the 63rd Division had already set off for Datong.
But Okamura Ningji's order was to hand over Taiyuan to the Eighth Route Army, which made him a little embarrassed. The main combat object of the First Army is the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and the two sides can be said to have a deep hatred like the sea, not to mention contact, even if there is a trace, they have long escaped without a trace.
There are all kinds of squadrons around Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, but the strength of the Eighth Route Army he needs is very weak, the main force of the Eighth Route Army led by He L in the northwest of Jin Province is assembled near Datong, there are signs of attacking Datong, and the Eighth Route Army on Taihang Mountain is around Zhengtai Road, and Yudu, Heshun, Daixian, and Yuxian have all been lost in the north and south of Zhengtai Road. Liu Bcheng led a main force near Changzhi and was ready to attack Changzhi at any time.
Even so, if there is enough time, Yoshiki Sadachi can still find a way to contact the Eighth Route Army and hand over Taiyuan to them; But alas, he didn't have time.
In Suiyuan, "Fu Zuoyi commanded the Seventh Group Army, the Seventeenth Group Army, the Forty Group Army, three group armies, 150,000 people, launched a fierce attack in Suiyuan, and the Fourth Mixed Brigade alone in Suiyuan was only 6,000 people" was unable to resist, and the brigade commander Sazu called for help, and Okamura Ningji asked him to withdraw from Taiyuan as soon as possible, retreat to Zhangjiakou through Datong, and defend Beiping.
Jinnan has been completely lost, after the Japanese army left, the puppet army had almost no combat effectiveness, and the squadron did not conduct any decent battles, and recovered more than a dozen county seats. "This is a danger signal, more than 100,000 troops in the Second World War Zone are surrounding Taiyuan from all directions."
"Under the command of Commander Yan Xishan, the first officers and men of our Second War Zone are launching a fierce counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and the Japanese army in Shanxi is fleeing in a hurry...... Old"
The joyful voice of the Chinese announcer came from the radio, Ji Muzhen was helpless, he knew that he had to go, the persecution of the squadron was not tight now, it was Yan Xishan's open side, if he couldn't stay any longer, Yan Xishan would definitely not let him go so easily.
"Cai Sang, Taiyuan will be handed over to you, you have always been a friend of the imperial army, I hope you can hold Taiyuan for three months, you have to believe that the final victory must belong to the banquet army."
Yoshiki Sadachi tried his best to win over Cai Xiongfei, the commander of the puppet army, hoping that he could drag the squadron and allow him to lead the troops to retreat smoothly.
Cai Xiongfei scolded in his heart, but a heavy melancholy appeared on his face: "Commander, I will do my best to do my best, but for three months, I dare not guarantee that I am lowly, you know, there are only more than 5,000 troops in the lowly position, and all other units are temporarily assigned to my command, and the equipment of the troops is very poor, and the combat effectiveness is also very poor." ”
"Yo Xi, I have already ordered to hand over to you, twenty battle defense guns, and a batch of Type 38 rifles will be added to you." Yoshiki Sadachi tried to cheer him up as much as he could, trying to win him over.
Cai Xiongfei sneered in his heart, ***, it was only at this time that I remembered to change my equipment for Lao Tzu, what did I do before, damn, I want Lao Tzu to cushion your back, no way.
"Yes, please rest assured that the lowly will definitely fight to the end, I just hope that the imperial army will come back as soon as possible, and the lowly will try his best to ensure Taiyuan." Cai Xiongfei squeezed out a few tears.
Yoshiki Sadachi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with some emotion: "Don't worry, the imperial army will come back soon, maybe in less than three months." ”
The train sounded a long whistle, Ji Mu Zhen waved goodbye to Cai Xiongfei, Cai Xiongfei's tears couldn't help but flow down, he stood on the platform, his eyes were a little dull looking at the train that was gradually moving away, this train pulled the last group of Japanese soldiers who left Taiyuan, in addition to all kinds of materials on the car. , that is, soldiers, even the roof of the carriage is full of people.
Cai Xiongfei returned to his headquarters, the people in the headquarters were panicked, the officers all looked at him with great flamboyance, he stood in the courtyard and looked at everyone: "Don't panic, the Japanese are gone, Taiyuan is ours now, as for whose it will be in the future, we don't care, you can rest assured, this commander will not take you to a dead end." Pass my order, close all the gates, prohibit entry and exit, and all the departments go to the city, Chief of Staff, you can arrange it. ”
After finishing speaking, Cai Xiongfei walked straight to the backyard, pushed open a door, and the middle-aged man who was drinking tea inside stood up, and before he could stand up straight, Cai Xiongfei stepped forward and held him down.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Cai Xiongfei's tone was full of affection, the middle-aged man sat down, and Cai Xiongfei sat next to him: "Mr. Zhao, now the little devil has left" Taiyuan is in my hands. ”
"That's great...... Mr. Zhao showed joy, he glanced at Cai Xiongfei: "Our Eighth Route Army already has a unit on standby outside the city, Commander Cai" As long as you raise the banner of rebellion, within two hours, the Eighth Route Army can arrive. ”
"Mr. Zhao, we are traitors, so the brothers want to know how your army will settle us in the future?" Cai Xiongfei has not been in contact with the Eighth Route Army once, but they also have a grudge against each other: "His Xingya and Communist Army cooperated with the Japanese army to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army base area several times, and his hands were stained with the blood of the people in the base area.
"Commander Cai can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, protect Taiyuan, but also to the country and the nation meritorious atonement, we can ignore the past, as for your department, can be reorganized into the Eighth Route Army" If you are not willing to participate in the Eighth Route Army, we will pay the road fee and let them go home. ”
&nbā give me something like this. Mr. Zhao, who had been paying attention to Cai Xiongfei, was stunned in his heart, knowing that Cai Xiongfei was dissatisfied with the conditions he offered, but he couldn't help it, this condition was issued by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and he had no right to change it, and he couldn't change it.
"Commander Cai can ask for anything," I will report to the above, I believe that I will not disappoint Commander Cai. Mr. Zhao decided to touch Cai Xiongfei's bottom first.
"I now have 14,000 people, and I can completely form an army" In addition, our unit has assisted the devils in encircling and suppressing your army's base area before, and I am worried that after our unit moves to your army's base area, the common people will not understand, so I hope to stay in Taiyuan. Cai Xiongfei said hesitantly.
"Well" Mr. Zhao condensed, Cai Xiongfei's conditions were very high, he wanted a military commander, and he also wanted Taiyuan City, but the Eighth Route Army only had two armies in total, and the army commanders He L and Liu Bcheng were both senior generals who had been leaders of the Red Army for a long time.
"I can report to my superiors, but Commander Cai, 14,000 people, which is the size of a division, I am afraid it is a little difficult to serve as the army commander." Mr. Zhao didn't go around in circles, and said directly.
Cai Xiongfei stood up with a faint smile: "Mr. Zhao, we are friends, if there is anything I have to say to you in person, I hope to get a reply from your army as soon as possible." Well, you rest first, I'll go and see, military deployment. ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mr. Zhao to express his position, he went straight out, and when he went out, the guard at the door closed the door. After Cai Xiong flew out of the door, he went around the backyard, went out from the corner gate, walked through an alley, and arrived at another small courtyard.
"Commander Cai, congratulations." A middle-aged man in a suit in the courtyard saw him come in and bowed his hand to him.
"What's so gratifying, I said, Brother Ni, this is a hot potato, the little devil handed it to me, I have no talent and no ability, I can only hand it over, who can I hand it over? No matter who I hand it over, the other side will not let me go in the future. The joy on Cai Xiongfei's face vanished, and worry immediately fell on his face.
"With the Central Committee and the chairman supporting you, what are you worried about? In addition to the center, who are you going to give it back to? Brother Ni's face was a little gloomy, and his tone contained Wei Piao, "Brother Ni, you and my brother, I won't hide it from you, Yan Laoxi also sent someone to contact me, what do you want me to do?" ”
"Yan Laoxi? Hmph, don't worry about him, this guy has always played against the central government, don't worry about him, Brother Cai, as long as you let the central army enter the city, the central government will never treat you badly. Brother Ni took out a letter of appointment from his leather bag and handed it to Cai Xiongfei.
Cai Xiongfei took it and saw that it was an order to appoint himself as the commander of the army, and below it was Jiang Zhongzheng's signature. Brother Ni looked at Cai Xiongfei, who was overjoyed, and said, "Don't worry about it now, Brother Cai." ”
"The trust of the chairman of the committee makes Cai grateful to zero" Cai Xiongfei burst into tears. But suddenly he looked up and asked, "Brother Ni, I only have more than 14,000 people now, which is not enough for a military establishment." ”
"It's okay, recruit again, full formation, A type army, 50,000 people." Brother Ni waved his hand generously, but he sneered in his heart: "The central government has allocated you 500,000 fiat currency, which will be used exclusively for your ministry to expand." ”
Brother Ni took out a check from his purse and handed it to Cai Xiongfei, Cai Xiongfei saw the zero on it clearly, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, with this check, even if he can't join the army anymore, he can be a rich man.
Soon after their discussion ended, a young officer walked into Mr. Zhao's room, and the two talked for a while, Mr. Zhao changed into a military uniform and left the room with the officer.
