"Yunong, is the Communist Party Ma Zheng really fighting with the little devil again?" Lao Jiang asked in a thick Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent.

Dai Li, who was standing on the side, said in a deep voice: "Headmaster, according to the telegram sent by our intelligence officers, an infantry brigade of Ma Zheng's department has been surrounded by little devils in Damanzhuang in Nanpi County for almost a week, and Ma Zheng's department has gathered seventy or eighty thousand troops to attack the Japanese army this time for this infantry brigade!" ”

"And the little devil is also arrogant now, according to the news from our internal line, the little devil suddenly transferred three infantry divisions to guard the Cangzhou and Nanpi lines, and there are two other infantry divisions in Dezhou as reserves, ready to support the war in the north at any time, so there is no doubt about it."

"Seventy or eighty thousand troops? Niang Xipi, a small battle will use 70,000 or 80,000 troops, how many troops are there in Ma Zheng's department? Lao Jiang asked with a frown.

"If you go back to the principal, it's no less than 500,000!" Dai replied in a deep voice.

"Five hundred thousand? Are you sure? ”

"A conservative estimate is half a million, or more. According to the information sent back by Miss Chen, there are no less than 20 numbers at the division level of Ma Zheng's department, plus a large number of technical troops and local garrisons, 500,000 is no less! Dai replied.

With a "snap", a beautiful teacup shattered its bones, completing its great mission as a "tragedy".

Immediately afterwards, Lao Jiang roared angrily: "Niang Xipi! Isn't there only three infantry divisions in Ma Zheng's department, and whoever gave him the right to expand the army, the communist bandits are the communist bandits, and I will say that sooner or later they will be the henchmen of the party-state. ”

Lao Jiang was really angry this time, and of course he was also taken aback by the number of more than 500,000 troops under Ma Zheng's command.

Now the number of Kuomintang troops has also increased a lot, from 2 million at the beginning of the war to nearly 4 million, and the rapid expansion of the strength of the Central Army of Chiang Chiang is even more unexpected by everyone.

In the more than five years since the start of the war, the Central Army has annexed a large number of local troops through mergers and reorganization, whether it is the previously powerful Jin Sui Army, or the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Hunan Army, the Gui Army with complex factions, and even the Majia Army in the northwest in a corner of the country, it is no longer the opponent of the old Chiang's Central Army.

Originally, Lao Jiang was often proud of this and complacent, but I heard that a small corps in Yan'an had inadvertently grown to 500,000 people, which was comparable to his two war zones, which made him embarrassed as the chairman of the committee.

After all, Dai Li was born in intelligence, so his mind has always been very calm, and as soon as Lao Jiang's words were spoken, Dai Li said: "Principal, Yan'an is not that unit that has developed as rapidly as Ma Zheng's department, the weapons and equipment of the vast majority of the troops of the Eighth Route Army are still very rubbish, and the ammunition of many troops cannot support a slightly larger battle, only Ma Zheng's department has only developed to the point where it is sideways." ”

"Well, Yunong, I have long said that it is enough to have a political party in China, and if you want to fight outside, you must first settle inside, and we will fight to the death with Little Japan, and only Yan'an will benefit."

Then Lao Jiang said with emotion: "Think about the 26th year of the Republic of China, Yan'an only had three divisions and more than 40,000 people, and its combat effectiveness could not even defeat the two big horse bandits in the northwest, and several legions were completely annihilated in the northwest. Look at the present, Ma Zheng alone accounts for two and a half provinces, and one army is 100,000! Hey, Zhang Hanqing is short-sighted, misleading me and misleading the country! ”

Lao Jiang was annoyed when he talked about the Xi'an incident six years ago, although six years had passed, and whether it was Zhang Xueliang or Yang Hucheng, who had launched the war, was either exiled or imprisoned, Lao Jiang was still angry about this matter.

"Principal, the Communist Party's strength is expanding rapidly, but it is not completely beneficial to the party-state, Yan'an is sharp, especially Ma Zheng's arrogant and aggressive, which obviously violates the strategic thinking of the Turkish Communist Party. Looking at the current Japanese army's continuous increase in troops in North China, it can be seen that the Communist Party at this time was already a big problem for the Japanese, and even if we did not deal with them, little Japan would not let Yan'an develop. Dai said.

"Well, it's true!"

"Headmaster, it can be seen that the Japanese army has sent heavy troops to besiege Ma Zheng's headquarters many times in a row, whether it is Terauchi Shouichi or Tada Junzai or the current Okamura Ningji, they are eager to cramp Ma Zheng and the entire Communist Party."

"In addition, the internal development of the Communist Party is also extremely uneven, Ma Zheng's department is dominant, and the number of troops under its control accounts for more than half of all the armed forces of the Communist Party, and in fact a situation has been formed, and if the Communist Party does not handle the internal contradictions well, then the crisis of split will always exist. Therefore, I don't think we need to do anything now, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Dai Li's thinking is very clear, because he has a lot of confidential information, so he has a much longer view than others.

Lao Jiang thought for a while and asked: "Yunong, now the relationship between Yan'an and the Japanese and the party-state is very complicated, and the little Japan will not die, and the idea of Yan'an to destroy me has long existed, so the party-state has now reached the most critical moment!" ”

"In the great battle a few months ago, although we dispatched more than 800,000 troops, the benefits we gained were extremely limited. Although the whole of Shanxi has been recovered, it is Yan Xishan's territory, and Yan Laoxi has made the biggest profit. And we have only recovered a very small piece of territory in southern Hebei, so the Beijing-Tianjin area, as well as the whole of Hebei, and even Rehe, must belong to the government. ”

Lao Jiang was already a little hysterical when he said this, the hideous face made Dai Li feel scared, he had followed Lao Jiang for a full twenty years, but there were really not many characters who could make Lao Jiang so jealous and hateful.

"And what does the headmaster mean?"

"Let's wait and see, Okamura Ninji is a terrible commander, and Okamura Ninji knows how to deal with the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese better than Terauchi Shouichi and Tada Jun, so we need a pathfinder."

Then Lao Jiang said again: "If Ma Zheng's troops win this battle, then Wei Lihuang's 150,000 troops will immediately enter Hebei and take over the defense of the Beijing-Tianjin region." But if Ma Zheng's troops are defeated, then we don't need to lie in that troubled water, you must know that even the elite of Ma Zheng's troops is not the opponent's troops, and it is definitely not something that those miscellaneous soldiers in Wei Lihuang's hands can resist. ”

Dai Li actually did not agree with Lao Chiang's intention to recover North China, or did not approve of recovering North China now, you must know that now the Eighth Route Army will fight with the little devils at all costs in order to protect the so-called anti-Japanese base areas.

Moreover, this time Ma Zheng's troops went south to attack Tianjin at their request, and at this time, calculating others is not only morally unjustifiable, but also will cause other disputes and frictions.

More importantly, if Ma Zheng's subordinates did not have those base areas, there would be no way to defend the territory and resist the enemy, which is likely to affect the united front.

Moreover, if the party-state recovers all the Hebei region, then the territory of Ma Zheng's department will be separated from the territory of all the Japanese puppet army in the Guannai, and with the party-state as a buffer zone, then the territory of Ma Zheng's department will be more stable and rapid development, which is not much different from not restricting the development of Ma Zheng's department.

However, Dai Li did not say this concern in the end, because he was very familiar with Lao Jiang's character and temper, at this time Lao Jiang was angry, if anyone persuaded him not to quarrel with the Eighth Route Army, then the end would be very miserable, and the principle of talking less and doing more things is applicable at any time.

In addition, Dai Li was also very frightened by the development of the Eighth Route Army.

As the most powerful secret service leader of the Nationalist government and even modern China, Dai Li's intelligence resources are far beyond anyone's imagination. Because of this, he has the most direct feeling for the speed of the development of the Eighth Route Army.

To say that the Eighth Route Army for a few years is really a small loach, it can't make much waves at all, and even a storm may drown it.

But now it's terrible, the loaches have turned into dragons, not to mention the Nationalist Government, even if the powerful Japanese army wants to annihilate them all, it is not an easy thing. Therefore, now the Eighth Route Army is a thorn in the body of the party, if you swallow it, you are afraid of piercing yourself, and if you don't swallow it, it will be uncomfortable to swallow.
