The people of Taiyuan City, who experienced the fear in the first half of the night, also slept not very peacefully in the second half of the night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, as the sound of gunfire slowly decreased, some of the people hiding in the cellar also breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that there should be no danger.

As the Eighth Route Army began to carry out a city-wide search, the people of the city also knew that Taiyuan City had been recovered by the Eighth Route Army. As for the little devils who were still practicing martial law in the city during the day, they have now been wiped out or driven out of Taiyuan City by the Eighth Route Army.

This also means that the city of Taiyuan, which had fallen to the Japanese army for more than a year, was finally recovered by the Chinese anti-Japanese forces. The common people, who were frightened in the past, seem to be looking forward to life under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army in the future.

The Eighth Route Army, which was only limited to searching, also asked them to stay at home and not go out at will, so as not to have any unpredictable accidents. Even if the people can't sleep and want to go out, they can only stay at home honestly and wait for the dawn.

Seeing the dark night outside the window gradually fade, many people who couldn't stay at home also carefully opened the closed door. Look at the situation outside, and see if the neighbors are safe.

After all, the scourge of war has always been something that the people are worried about. Last night, the Eighth Route Army in the city fought with the Japanese army, which still caused the collapse of some people's houses. But comparatively speaking, most of those houses are on the main street.

Some of the places where the poor people lived, on the contrary, were not disturbed last night. In addition to the Eighth Route Army knocking on the door and searching the door, many people opened the door and found that the vicinity of their residence was no different from the past.

Just as the people began to walk out of their homes with each other, talking carefully about the situation of last night's battle. Some of the people who walked towards the main street soon saw the Eighth Route Army patrolling the streets. The patrol didn't bother too much about their appearance.

But for the sake of safety, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were in charge of patrolling would also step forward and say: "Fellow, martial law in the whole city is lifted today. Wait a minute, you can go to the street and look at the notices posted on the people, there are some things on it that the villagers want to obey and tell each other.

In addition, after dawn, it is best not to gather too much together. Although the weather is not very good today, in order to prevent the possible bombing of the little devils at that time, the villagers also pay attention to the sound of air raid sirens in the city.

As soon as the air raid sirens sound, it is better for everyone to go home and stay. If you have a cellar at home, try to hide in the cellar to ensure safety. As for the commercial market in Taiyuan, we will also resume normal order and operation in the shortest possible time. ”

'Sir, you're not leaving this time?' ’

There are bold people, and they are also very direct to ask about the things they care about most. In their opinion, the Eighth Route Army only attacked cities many times, but rarely dared to stay in these big cities, and they were afraid that the little devils would retaliate.

Listening to the people's inquiries, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also smiled kindly and said: "Fellow, let's call us comrades!" We, the Eighth Route Army, don't want to be called commanders. You can rest assured that we will not leave this time.

In the future, this Taiyuan City will no longer be occupied by little devils. Right now, our main force is chasing the escaped little devils outside. It won't be long before the little devils in Shanxi will be driven away by us. Rest assured! ”

'Comrade, will you have the final say in this Shanxi in the future, or will our Chief Yan have the final say? ’

Many people who have lived in Taiyuan for many years seem to be a little concerned about who will have the final say in the future of Taiyuan. According to the information they knew, the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army seemed to be friendly neighbors, but Yan Xishan was the provincial *lord* seat of Shanxi after all!

In the face of such an inquiry, some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army soon replied: "We don't know about the question you asked for the time being. However, in the future, Taiyuan will form a new democratic government, and the Shanxi government will have the final say in the future. ”

For such an answer, some smart people can guess that Shanxi will definitely have the final say in the future. As for Jin Suijun and Yan Laoxi, who are staying in Linfen now, it is estimated that they will not be able to come back.

In fact, after the Eighth Route Army captured Taiyuan City, the intelligence officers of the Jin Sui Army lurking in Taiyuan also quickly reported the news to Yan Laoxi. Yan Xishan, who learned of this situation, also seemed to sigh a little.

He knows very well that not to mention him, the commander of the war zone, even Chairman Jiang who is now in Chongqing, those people in Yan'an don't take him very seriously. Asking the Eighth Route Army to return to Shanxi is simply wishful thinking.

Even Yan Xishan believed that if he dared to attack the idea of Taiyuan, he was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would not let him go easily. A single move to cut off food is estimated to make the Jin Sui army under his command very confused.

Not to mention, many of the weapons and ammunition of the Jin Sui Army are now purchased from the Eighth Route Army. Regarding the strength of the Eighth Route Army near Linfen, Yan Xishan can be said to understand it better than anyone else.

Yan Xishan, who was holding this telegram, finally sighed and said: "This Shanxi will no longer be my old man's in the future!" ”

Saying such things is enough to show that Yan Xishan is very self-aware. Just in the Battle of Changzhi, which is currently underway, Yan Xishan, who wants to make some cheap, also found that he can't grab the troops of the Eighth Route Army at all.

What made him feel even more chilled was that many people in Linfen seemed to be more optimistic about trusting the Eighth Route Army. The people in Changzhi, even if they want to flee, will not go to the nearest Linfen, but will go to Luliang.

He lost Taiyuan from him, and retreated to Linfen with the remnants of the defeated army, failing to fight any battle that the Sanjin father expected. It is undoubtedly impossible to regain the lost hearts and minds of the people.

The Jin Sui Army under his current jurisdiction has in name only in a sense!

Even after thinking about it, Yan Xishan said very directly: "Send a report to Yan'an, I hope to go to Yan'an and have a secret meeting with them." For the sake of the elders of Shanxi, I can't admit defeat this time! ”

After receiving the telegram from Yan Xishan, ******, who was staying in the Yan'an Operations Command Room, also smiled and said: "Boss, it seems that in Taiyuan City, Yan Laoxi also has eyes and ears!" The news of our recovery of Taiyuan City is only afraid that we will not be able to hide it from them. ”

He is also the largest landlord in Shanxi, and it is very easy to hide an intelligence station in Taiyuan City. This time he came to Yan'an in person to meet with the two of us, and I think he made a decision.

However, being able to solve the problem of the Jin Sui Army as soon as possible will also play a great role in our future management of the base areas of the three provinces. It's just that for Jin Suijun, we still need to think of a good way to make proper arrangements. If you don't pay money, I'm afraid it's hard to keep people! ’

Regarding what Mr. Zhu said, Mao said very directly: "The expanded troops under Yan Xishan, in fact, we don't need to care too much. Those who are willing to accept the reorganization will accept the reorganization in accordance with the rules of our troops.

Those who are unwilling to accept the reorganization, we also send them off with both hands. Those who are counting on making a fortune by being a soldier do not need it in our ranks. You can't just break the rules of our troops in order to appease them, right?

On the contrary, it is Yan Laoxi himself, if he is really willing to change his ways, how should we arrange him? Anyway, he is also the provincial *chairman* appointed by the national government, and he is also the commander of the war zone, and his rank is higher than ours! ”

'Forget it! These things, I think we should talk about them after he arrives in Yan'an! Now that we are discussing it like this, if we wait for someone to come over, it is possible not to talk to us about this matter, but to let us hand over Taiyuan City! ’

'Oh yes! In the final analysis, Shanxi is still nominally the territory of his Yan Laoxi and Jin Suijun! ’

replied to Mr. Zhu with a smile, and Mao didn't say anything more. At least Mao knew in his heart that Yan Xishan had not many options left for him except to change his ways. In the future, he can't interfere too much in Shanxi.

If Yan Xishan took the initiative to surrender, maybe for the sake of buying horse bones, Mao would also give him a good position and treatment. But in terms of military power, Yan Xishan will definitely not be able to touch it again in the future.

As long as there are no soldiers at hand, Yan Xishan will want to make big waves in the future, and the chance of success is not great!

When all parties were thinking about the future of Taiyuan and Shanxi, the 120th Division, which had undergone an emergency rearmament, also began to march towards Taiyuan City. In the early morning, this army arrived outside the city of Taiyuan.

Considering that it was still early, the troops of the Eighth Route Army who greeted them outside the city also let them rest for a while. When the follow-up artillery units arrived, the whole division began to enter the city and inform the people of Taiyuan of their arrival.

Many officers and men of the new 1st Division, who were in an excited mood, also felt full of anticipation when they looked at the towering Taiyuan city wall in the distance. For this kind of ceremony of entering the city, in fact, every soldier is very excited, which is somewhat of a parade in the streets.

Although many officers and soldiers felt a little regretful, this Taiyuan City was not captured by them after all. But from now on, this Taiyuan city is the place where they garrison. Before the new order, they will all stay in Taiyuan City.

As the garrison of the capital of a province, the officers and men of the new 1st Division also wanted to see how this Taiyuan City would be different from the cities they had visited before. If you think about it this time, you can also see it!

As the sky gradually brightened, more and more people took to the streets to read the safety notices posted on the streets. They also soon learned that the main division of the Eighth Route Army would be stationed in Taiyuan City next.

From now on, Taiyuan City will be taken over by the Eighth Route Army. This kind of news makes the people in the city also a little curious, how many people will there be in a division of the Eighth Route Army!

At about half past eight in the morning, on the street of the East Gate, a group of troops of the Eighth Route Army suddenly ran with neat steps. These Eighth Route Army, about one meter or so, arranged one person to guard the entire street.

As long as they do not cross the cordon where the sentries of the Eighth Route Army stand, these sentries of the Eighth Route Army will not stop them. Some onlookers also quickly knew that a large force of the Eighth Route Army was about to enter the city.

He Zhengdao, who also arrived outside the city, looked at the head of the regiment who came to ask for instructions and reports, and said with a smile: "Mr. He, let's go into the city!" I believe that on this day, the people of Taiyuan have been waiting for a long time, don't let them continue to wait! ”

'Okay, let's go!' We're in town! ’

Mr. He, who said this with a big laugh, was actually very happy to be able to lead troops into Taiyuan City today. Being able to get this honor will also be of great help to his personal prestige in the army and among the people! (To be continued.) )
