Chief of Staff Liu Yi walked over and asked in a deep voice, "Director Ma, is the intelligence reliable?" ”

"Absolutely reliable!" Ma Zhankui said without hesitation, in the past six months or so, Ma Zhankui's operations department has built a huge intelligence network in Beiping, Tianjin, Baoding, Shimen, Taiyuan, Jinan and other large and medium-sized cities in North China.

Ma Zhankui was born to engage in intelligence, and because Ma Zhankui is very good at building intelligence networks, Gao Jingwu's intelligence department has almost become a subordinate agency of the operations department.

Liu Yi immediately turned back to Yue Weihan and said, "Boss, what do you think?" ”

Yue Weihan said in a deep voice: "Okamura Ningci didn't send people sooner or later, but at this time he sent people to contact Yan Xishan, I think most of it is related to the predicament encountered by the army, Jinzhong and Jinnan last year was a rare harvest year in a century, and grain crops and cotton were harvested, Okamura Ningci shouldn't want to buy grain and cotton from Yan Xishan, right?" ”

"If Okamura Ninji really wants to buy grain and cotton, then our efforts will be in vain!" Liu Yi hurriedly said, "Yan Xishan shouldn't sell grain and cotton to himself, right?" If this thing is revealed, it will be a crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and it will be remembered for 10,000 years. ”

"That's not for sure." Yue Weihan shook his head and said, "Yan Xishan is the soil emperor of Shanxi, and he only has the safety of Shanxi Province in his eyes, for him, as long as he can keep Shanxi, it doesn't matter whether he resists or not, he doesn't care if he is Han or not, this Yan Laoxi has never been a staunch national fighter." ”

"It's a problem." Liu Yi frowned and said, "We must stop Yan Xishan!" ”

"Hmm." Yue Weihan nodded and said to Ma Zhankui, "Zhankui, mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to get the detailed information of Yan Xishan's deal with himself!" ”

"Yes." Ma Zhankui snapped upright, and then turned around.

Seeing Ma Zhankui's figure go away, Yue Weihan was in no mood to stay in the scientific research institute anymore, anyway, the "conscienceless cannon" had not really been designed yet, and there were still several days before the real test firing, so Yue Weihan returned to the headquarters with Liu Yi and other senior generals, and at the same time asked people to invite Liu Division Commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army over.

If Yan Xishan really did business with himself, he would definitely not go through the Jingcheng Pass.

Yan Xishan is most likely to go to the Flying Fox (one of the Eight Taihang Mountains, located in the north of Laiyuan County and south of Wei County), or to trade with the army stationed in Datong in the Luliang Mountains, but whether it is to go to the Flying Fox Mountains or trade in the Luliang Mountains, the 39th Group Army is beyond the reach of the whip, and if you want to secretly sabotage, you have to borrow the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Two days later, Ma Zhankui, the chief of operations, got detailed information.

"The main seat, right here, Zhangjiayu." Ma Zhankui patted the map and said to Yue Weihan, "Zhangjiayu is a small village on the Flying Fox Mountain, less than 100 miles away from the county seat of Laiyuan occupied by the Yue army and the county town of Lingqiu occupied by the Jin Sui army. ”

"It really made the total seat expected." Liu Yi said, "Yan Xishan is really going to go to the Flying Fox!" ”

Yue Weihan said: "Zhan Kui, do you know how many materials the Jin Sui army wants to deliver to the Yue army?" ”

"The number is very large, the first batch alone has 500 carts of grain, 900 carts of cotton plus more than 100 trucks, according to the information provided by the inner line of the Jin Sui army, Lao County, Dai County, Fanzhi County are rushing to Lingqiu to transport materials day and night, and now the grain and cotton in Lingbing County have been piled up into a mountain!" Ma Zhankui said this, and said, "According to reliable information, what the army delivered to the Jin Sui army was not a silver dollar, let alone legal currency, but arms!" ”

"What do you say? Ammunition! Yue Weihan's eyes lit up suddenly.

Liu Yi and Commander Liu of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army were also quite surprised.

Yue Weihan said again: "Zhan Kui, how many troops are escorted by the Jin Sui Army and the Yue Army?" ”

Ma Zhankui immediately replied: "There are two regiments of the Jin Sui Army, and the army side is an infantry brigade. ”

Yue Weihan looked at the map, the straight-line distance from Jingcheng Pass to Feihu Cheng was more than 200 kilometers, plus the middle was the high mountains and big mountains of Taihang Mountain, as the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the actual marching distance was definitely more than twice the straight-line distance, if the troops were transferred from the 39th Group Army, it would be impossible to reach Feihu Cheng within three days.

At that moment, Yue Weihan said to Senior Commander Liu: "Old Liu, Flying Fox seems to be Commander Nie's territory, right?" ”

"Hmm." Senior Commander Liu nodded and said, "The headquarters of the Jinchaji Base Area is in Fuping, south of the Flying Fox. ”

Yue Weihan said again: "With the strength of the Jin-Cha-Ji base area, coupled with the favorable terrain of the Flying Fox Mountain, there should be no problem in eating two regiments of the Jin Sui Army and an infantry brigade of the Yue Army, right?" ”

"This must be fine." Division Commander Liu said, "The problem is that the Jin Sui Army and our Eighth Route Army have not torn their faces, so it seems a little inappropriate to openly attack friendly troops like this, hiss......" Speaking of this, Division Commander Liu suddenly stared, and said, "Mr. Yue, don't you want Mr. Nie's troops to make up the army, right?" ”

"Lao Liu, you're right!" Yue Weihan said happily, "Commander Nie's troops not only want Qiao Xiang to attack the Jin Sui Army's grain transportation team, but also Qiao Xiang Jin Sui Army to rob the arms escorted by the Yue Army!" Didn't Yan Xishan and Okamura Ningji want to make a deal? Hehe, I want them not only to not be able to make a deal, but also to force them to turn their faces against each other! ”

"Awesome!" Division Commander Liu sighed, "In this way, not only will Yan Xishan, who is not firm enough, be punished, but also the army will not be able to obtain much-needed food and cotton from the Jin Sui army, and it will even cause the Jin Sui army and the army to turn their faces, but our Eighth Route Army has made a big bargain out of thin air, which can really be described as killing four birds with one stone!" ”

"Chief of Staff." Yue Weihan immediately said to Liu Yi, "Immediately transfer the information we have obtained to the headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and then submit my suggestions and those of Division Commander Liu together." ”

"Yes." Liu Yi snapped to the ground, and immediately turned around and entered the telecommunications room next door.

………… Jixi, Fuping.

Deputy Chief of Staff Tang hurriedly walked into the war room with a telegram and said to Commander Nie, who was studying the operational map at his desk: "Commander, the General Department of Yue of the 39th Group Army and the Commander of the 129th Division Liu have jointly sent an urgent telegram, claiming that in three days, the Jin Sui Army and the Yue Army will conduct underground transactions in Zhangjiayu on the Flying Fox Mountain!" ”

"Huh?" Commander Nie said awe-inspiringly, "The Jin Sui Army wants to make a deal with the Yue Army? ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Tang nodded, and said, "Commander, Commander-in-Chief Yue and Division Commander Liu also transferred a battle plan. ”

"Bring it to me." Commander Nie immediately took the telegram from Deputy Chief of Staff Tang, and after reading it, he was overjoyed and said, "Great, the most lacking thing in the base area at the moment is food, cotton and ammunition, I didn't expect the Jin Suijun and the little devils to send it to us in a bad way, haha." ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Tang frowned and said, "Commander, I don't think this information is very credible." ”

Commander Nie's pencil had already been scratched on the map, and he asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Tang said: "Yan Xishan doesn't know the general situation, and it is unlikely that he will secretly collude with him, right?" Besides, I said that I had occupied Shanxi before, and I had fought with the Jin Sui army in a series of battles, so how could the hatred between the two sides be resolved for a while? Anyway, I don't think it's credible. ”

"Old Tang, you still don't know Yan Xishan deep enough, from the bones, Yan Xishan is a Shanxi emperor, he only has Shanxi in his eyes, this person doesn't have much national complex, so there is no deep hatred between him and Yue himself, as long as the interests are suitable, of course he is willing to collude with Yue himself." After saying this, Commander Nie said again, "Besides, even if this information is wrong, the big deal is to run empty, and there is no loss, right?" ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Tang said: "What if this is a trap set by the Jin Suijun and the Yue Army in collusion?" ”

"Haha, Old Tang, you just said that Yan Xishan would not make a deal with Yue himself, so you are worried that Yan Xishan will join forces with Yue himself to deal with our Eighth Route Army?" Commander Nie shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's put it this way, Yan Xishan can really do it if he makes small moves behind his back and causes friction, but he can't let him join forces with Yu himself to deal with our Eighth Route Army." ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Tang was immediately relieved when he heard this, thinking about it, even if Yan Laoxi harbored evil intentions, Division Commander Liu of the 129th Division was a well-known military strategist in the party, could he still not see through Yan Laoxi's conspiracy? Since Division Commander Liu dared to send a telegram jointly with Commander-in-Chief Yue of the 39th Group Army, it was evident that the credibility of this information was quite high.

"This is it!" At this time, Commander Nie had already drawn two circles on the map, and said, "The 1st Divisional Reading Brigade, the 3rd Divisional Reading Brigade, and the 4th Divisional Reading Brigade plus the Headquarters Teaching Regiment Qiao Xiang Jin Sui Army ambushed the Yue Army between the Jade Emperor Liang and Daoshan Cliff; The 2nd Divisional Reading Brigade, the 5th Divisional Reading Brigade, the 6th Divisional Reading Brigade, and the Headquarters Cavalry Regiment Qiao Xuan's army ambushed the Jin Sui Army in the vicinity of Matuo Mountain and Huangquantuo, and ordered all troops to march at night, and they must enter the ambush position separately, once the enemy enters the ambush position, immediately launch a general attack, destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time, and try to annihilate them as much as possible! ”

"That's not right, Commander." Deputy Chief of Staff Tang was stunned and said, "In order to sabotage the collusion attempt between the Jin Sui Army and the Yue Army, we should not completely annihilate the Yue Army and the Jin Sui Army, and we should leave a small number of remnants of the enemy to report back." ”

"Hehe, Old Tang, you only know one but don't know the other." Commander Nie smiled and said, "The cleaner our hands and feet are in this battle, the less the Yue Army and the Jin Sui Army will suspect us!" On the contrary, if we deliberately let go of a small number of remnants of the enemy, with the prudence and cunning of Okamura Ninji and Yan Xishan, we would not be able to guess that it was our Eighth Route Army that was obstructing it. ”
