[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 57: Yan Laoxi's bad things

When the telegram arrived in Yan'an, it was already the morning of March 8, and early in the morning, when he saw the good news sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the chairman was naturally a dragon-hearted Dayue, and immediately ordered the guards to call Vice Chairman Zhou and others.

During this time, Yan'an was not having a good time, although the main force under his command had been transferred to the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance, but it still could not satisfy Lao Jiang. In addition, since the Eighth Route Army entered Shanxi, except for Pingxingguan and the little devils, there have been no other brilliant battles, so Wuhan has repeatedly accused the Eighth Route Army of swimming but not attacking.

Under the guidance of the public opinion of the national government, the Chinese people Yan'an also made a lot of accusations, which made the chairman and others very passive for a while.

Soon Vice Chairman Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, who was holding a meeting in Yan'an, and others arrived in the chairman's courtyard, and as soon as they entered the door, Vice Chairman Zhou asked with a smile: "Isn't there any joy that the chairman called us here early in the morning?" ”

The chairman smiled and said in a thick Hunan accent: "It's really a good thing, I just received a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, they smashed the Japanese army's conspiracy to encircle and kill the Jinchaji Military Region, congratulations!" ”

"This is indeed good news, but I don't know if the losses of our army are serious?" Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"I'll talk about this later, in addition to this good news, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also sent six telegrams, all about one army!" The Chairman said.

"Oh, six telegrams are all about one army? Is that unit so honored, the Kuomintang or ours? Commander-in-Chief Zhu asked in surprise.

The chairman smiled and said: "It's our own unit, and the number is the Chanan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment!" ”

"The anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan? I've never heard of such a unit! Vice Chairman Zhou said with a frown.

Mr. Zhu said: "It's the army of the madman, what kind of moth is that kid?" ”

The chairman handed a stack of messages to Mr. Zhu and said, "Let's see for yourselves!" ”

Mr. Zhu took the telegram and read it one by one, the more he looked at the expression on his face, the more surprised he became, and he even flushed a little at the end.

After a long time, Mr. Zhu sent the telegram to Vice Chairman Zhou, and then said incredibly: "Is this anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan really so powerful?" ”

At this time, Vice Chairman Zhou also finished reading it, and immediately said: "At this time, the telegram forwarded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army must have been verified, and the results of the battle should be true!" ”

The chairman said: "I just asked the guards to verify with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and all the achievements are true, without the slightest exaggeration. ”

Everyone was surprised again, and Mr. Zhu said with emotion: "We are all familiar with this guy Ma Maniac, and he is a good hand when fighting, but I didn't expect this kid to be beaten by the little devil but he became a sperm, how long has it been, and he has annihilated five or six thousand little devils, and I am afraid that even Lao Jiang's Central Army will be embarrassed if such a record is said!" ”

"This guy is really a master, I used to know that that guy was a war material, he couldn't get out of the line of fire if he was slightly injured, and he dared to leave his life on the battlefield if he was seriously injured. But I didn't hear that kid is so powerful in developing troops, and the weapons and equipment handed over to his superiors and gifted to friendly troops before and after are enough to equip a division, and this kind of mind is even more admirable! Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"By the way, Chairman, how should we commend Ma Maniac and this guerrilla detachment under his command, should we report it internally or send it to the Second War Zone?" Mr. Zhu asked again.

The chairman thought for a while and said: "Let's report to the Second War Zone, during this time, not many people say that our Eighth Route Army is guerrilla but not attacking, and is secretly preserving its strength, let's use this real record to fight back against these people." But don't talk about the previous things, just say that Ma Zheng's department has achieved results in the south this time! ”

"Okay, in front of such a brilliant record, I see what cool things those people can say!" Mr. Zhu said.

Due to the problem of rank and subordination, the good news about the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan was finally reported by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to the headquarters of the second war zone.

After receiving the good news from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Yan Laoxi looked at the movements of the Japanese army in the past two days and the information sent by the intelligence department, and finally believed in the authenticity of this good news.

After confirming the authenticity of the telegram, Yan Xishan, who was not in a good mood, suddenly let out a hearty laugh, startling the guards on duty outside the door.

It's no wonder that this old Xi'er is so happy, mainly because this old man has been too aggrieved during this time. Since the Japanese army attacked Shanxi, he Yan Xishan's bad luck has continued.

Half of the battle of Datong collapsed, and Yan Laoxi even had to take the old man Li Fuying, who had been with him for decades, to make the people angry. The Xinkou Society was defeated, and the Battle of Taiyuan was even occupied by the little devils. Anyway, since the war with the little devils, the second theater of war has lost cities and land, especially during the Battle of Taiyuan, more than 30 divisions were beaten by one and a half divisions of Seishiro Itagaki and abandoned their armor, and they were crushed for thousands of miles.

There are many Japanese troops who have been routed, maimed, captured, or even surrendered voluntarily by the Japanese army. For a time, public opinion at home and abroad, the media, and the general public were very dissatisfied with him, the commander of the second war zone, and even the entire Jin Sui army was also a crusade.

When he was distressed about this, Yan Laoxi suddenly received a good news from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, how could he not be ecstatic! What's more, the results reported this time are indeed shocking, and in terms of strategy, the Eighth Route Army smashed the strategic encirclement and suppression of two divisions and one mixed brigade of the Japanese army, which was a great victory. In terms of tactics, the Chanan anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army almost completely annihilated the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army, killing nearly 3,000 people under the commander of the wing, Sadao Chida and Osa, and at the same time breaking through the two county towns of Tianzhen and Yangyuan, which were heavily garrisoned by the Japanese army, directly paralyzing the Pingsui Railway until now. Not to mention the results of shooting down three Japanese planes and damaging three.

Such a big victory is enough for him to explain to his countrymen. The only fly in the ointment is that it was not the Jin Sui Army under his command, nor the Central Army, but the Eighth Route Army led by Yan'an.

But so what, after all, now the Eighth Route Army is also under the battle sequence of the Nationalist Government, and it is also China's national defense force, and more importantly, they are now under the jurisdiction of the Second Theater of Operations, and they are fighting under the command of Yan Xishan. As long as the troops in his second theater won the battle, he Yan Xishan would have a share of the credit.

Therefore, even if it is the Eighth Route Army that he does not want to see the most who has achieved such brilliant achievements, he, the commander of the Second World War Zone, is still extremely beautiful.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with his poor situation at this time. If there was no such great external pressure, he would not have cared even if the Eighth Route Army killed the Japanese emperor.

But there is no way now, in the face of great pressure from the people across the country, Yan Laoxi can only use this big victory to divert the attention of the people to reduce the pressure on his body.

Therefore, after receiving the battle report, Yan Xishan immediately publicized the achievements of the Chanan anti-Japanese detachment, and ordered a commendation and heavy reward for the Chanan anti-Japanese detachment.

Of course, Yan Laoxi also had to take into account Lao Chiang's feelings, and while commending the Chanan guerrilla detachment, he also sent a telegram to Chongqing to congratulate him on his victory.
