[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 329: The Verge (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) )

The old house of the Yan family. In the study.

"Su Yan, what's so urgent, and you came to report it in person?" Seeing that his right-hand man came to report the military situation to him in person, Yan Xishan knew that something big must be there.

"Marshal, that's the case, I just received a telegram from the Eighteenth Group Army, and the stakes are very high, so I came here in person!" Xu Shi'an, head of the intelligence department of the Jin Suijun, said in a deep voice.

"What do you say, what's at stake? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army won the battle again, this time it was the 120th Division or the 129th Division, or was it the Ma Zheng from Chanan? Yan Xishan asked in surprise with a twinkle in his eyes.

"No, it's a battle plan forwarded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to Ma Zheng's department, and it's for your instructions!" Xu Shi'an said.

"Ma Zheng's department asked me for a battle plan, what's going on, when did that madman care so much about my opinion as a commander? Tell me, where are they going to fight this time? Yan Xishan asked in surprise.

"Suixi, Baotou!" Xu Shi'an said.

"Smack! What, they have to pack their heads, no, no! Yan Laoxi said excitedly.

"Marshal, don't worry, I see that the Eighth Route Army's intention in sending you this telegram at this time is definitely not simple!" Xu Shi'an said immediately.

"That's right, the Eighth Route Army used to fight independently, and the department and the theater commander's department greeted each other at all, but this time we were suddenly told to fight Suixi, there must be a problem here!" Yan Laoxi said in a deep voice.

"Dashuai, in the view of humility, Ma Zheng's department seems to care about Dashuai's thoughts, and deliberately gave them the time to attack, and its intention seems to be hinting at something!" Xu Shi'an said again.

"Hints? Bring the telegram, and I'll see what it says! "Yan Lao Xidao.

As a result, the telegram in Xu Shi'an's hand. Yan Xishan looked at it carefully, and read every word carefully, lest he miss something.

There was silence for a long time, and then Yan Xishan laughed and said, "This horse madman is really interesting, okay!" ”

Xu Shi'an was taken aback by Yan Xishan's reaction, and there were dark clouds just now. Now it's raining and it's clear, what's going on?

Looking at Xu Shi'an, who looked surprised, Yan Xishan smiled and said, "You just analyzed it well, this Ma Zheng is really hinting at us!" ”

"Dashuai understands what Ma Zheng means?" Xu Shi'an immediately asked.

"Almost, Ma Zheng's troops want to fight Suixi, and they have made up their minds, and more importantly, with the combat effectiveness they have shown, it is impossible for the Japanese to hold those small miscellaneous fish in Suixi, so the Japanese army must be defeated. The reason why Ma Zheng informed us. The purpose is to tell us that he is going to take action against the Japanese army in Suixi, to ask us if the Jin Sui army is interested in a piece of the pie, and to tell us the time of their attack is to ask us to choose whether to make a move and when to make a move! Yan Xishan said.

Xu Shi'an frowned and said: "I still don't understand it, since Ma Zheng's department is sure of victory, then why do you have to inform us, can't they just take action themselves?" ”

Yan Xishan sighed and said, "This is the genius of that young man, he knows that the old man is not happy in my heart. I don't want to have a conflict with our Jin Suijun, so I will notify us. If we send troops, they will give us a mouthful of soup to drink. If we're scared, we won't even have to drink the soup. ”

Xu Shi'an thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "Dashuai, do you mean that Ma Zheng wants to divide Suixi with us equally?" ”

"Well, that means, but it's not quite! Didn't he say that the Battle of Suixi would be launched on December 10, and that tells us. He won't do it before this time, and it's up to us whether our Jin Sui Army will act or not. If we regain the whole territory of Suixi before December 10th, then someone from him will not take it from us, but if we have not taken Suixi after December 10th, then he Ma Zheng will take action. ”

"What do you think, handsome?" Xu Shi'an asked.

"Of course we have to send troops. First, this Suiyuan is the territory of our Jin Sui Army, even if it is to be recovered, it must be recovered by our Jin Sui Army, what is the matter with the Eighth Route Army? ”

"Second, the Japanese army in Suixi has been beaten by Ma Zheng's troops and has lost their temper, and the number of troops is not very large, only fifteen or six thousand people are counted when the battle is full, and the real Japanese army is even less pitiful, only six or seven thousand. The most important thing is that this Japanese army is already a lone army, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to have reinforcements arrive in a short time, so we sent troops to beat the water dogs. ”

"Third, if we don't make a move this time, Ma Zheng's department will make a move, and they will definitely make a move, so the Japanese army will be defeated, why don't we participate in a battle that must be won." Yan Xishan Road.

"On December 10, there are less than 6 days left until now, can we take Suixi?" Xu Shi'an asked again.

"It's enough, although there are a lot of troops in Yisheng, there is still a big gap with the Japanese army in terms of equipment and other aspects, plus there are four or five hundred kilometers from Linhe to Baotou, and there is a Wuyuan County in between, so it is impossible to conquer the entire Suixi in six days. But even if we can't beat Suixi, we can still beat the banner counties of Xiawuyuan and Urad Zhongqi and Qianqi, as long as we have a firm foothold in these banner counties, it is equivalent to curbing the expansion of the Eighth Route Army, why not! Yan Xishan said.

"What about Baotou?"

"Baotou! Hey, don't think about Baotou, how far is Guisui from Baotou, and there is a railway connection, Ma Zheng will not give us this opportunity. Yan Xishan sighed and said.

"Marshal, then how should we reply to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?" Xu Shi'an said.

"You immediately notify the officers of the General Staff to go to the Theater Commander's Headquarters for a meeting, and we will immediately draw up an operational plan for recovering Suixi, and then distribute the plan to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army! They understood it all after reading the plan! Yan Xishan said.

"Yes!"

After reading the telegram sent by the Governor's Department of the Second World War Zone, Ma Zheng smiled, this Yan Laoxi is really from a wealthy man in Shanxi, and he is really calculating! Not only did he agree to participate in the war, but he also specially drew up a battle plan, and advanced the time of the attack to December 6, so that it was just a matter of attacking first.

But Ma Zheng just smiled, some military exploits are of no use to Ma Zheng, if he wants to be famous, he is already famous enough, if he wants to be profitable, he is now the commander of the Suicha Military Region, the commander of the 63rd Army, even if he kills the Japanese emperor now, it is useless, Lao Jiang is impossible to give himself a group army number.

Now that all the guests have arrived, let's wait for the table to begin! I hope that the Japanese will not be too weak, otherwise if Fu Yisheng's Seventh Army really hits Baotou City, then this scene will really not be easy to sing.

Naturally, the signs of the large-scale assembly of Ma Zheng's troops could not be concealed from the Japanese, and with the infiltration of the Japanese army's special high class into North China, it was difficult to conceal them from ordinary military movements, and Ma Zheng did not hide this transfer at all. Anyway, the Japanese army in Suixi was already a lone army, and once the battle started, the only thing the Japanese army could do was to attack the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Xinghe and Fengzhen, and support the island on the side, and the possibility of directly sending troops was very small.

At the same time that Ma Zheng's headquarters was actively preparing for war, Fu Yisheng's headquarters in the Eighth Theater of Operations, which was far away from the river, was also assembling, and the 35th Army, the main force of the headquarters, quickly gathered in the area of Baichuan Fort, ready to launch an attack on Wuyuan, where the Japanese army was stationed......

Lieutenant General Yoshizang Kojima, who was stationed in Baotou, immediately ordered the area to shrink after receiving an order from the North China Front Headquarters. The defenders abandoned all small and medium-sized strongholds, except for the main county towns and communication arteries. At the same time, ammunition and food, as well as other strategic materials, are stored and prepared for long-term operations. (To be continued.) )
