"Very good, you said it very well, as the so-called snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman. This time, our [***] troops will be this fisherman, and we can't let Yan Xishan in the second theater take the lead... Respectfully, this matter will be left to you, Cixiu is responsible for assisting, and Yunong provides intelligence support... The three of you should work together to assist and come up with a plan in the shortest possible time..."Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were on his face, and his face was full of brotherly expressions..."Yes, Chairman, I promise to complete the task..."The three of you saluted, replied loudly, and turned to leave the headquarters... And Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting in the seat, looked at the backs of his three henchmen, and then thought that his heart was in trouble, and he would be eliminated by the army in the near future. At the same time, his own national political axe can also take this opportunity to regain control of Shanxi Province....Thinking of this, the corners of Chiang Kai-shek's mouth slowly showed a smile... Compared with the happy Chiang Kai-shek, at this moment, the chairman and others who were far away in Yan'an were sitting in the war room of the Military Commission. And the entire war room, because of the constant smoking of a few people, made it smoky... What's more, the atmosphere in the entire war room is very depressing, and there is no trace of joy on everyone's faces, replaced by frowning brows....

Finally, after the chairman, who was sitting on the stool in a daze, felt the pain of his fingers being burned, he reacted from the shock: "Enlai, boss." I really didn't expect that our idea would come true like this. The entire reading division, under Chiang Kai-shek's vigorous propaganda, became a thorn in the heart of the army. Unexpectedly, four main divisions were selected at one time, plus the puppet army troops, and a full 150,000 heavy troops, to encircle and suppress the Reading Division..."

"Yes, Chairman, a whole army of 150,000. In terms of troops, the Reading Strength Division no longer has any advantage... It seems that this encirclement and suppression operation of the Yue army is inevitable... Our readers, if you don't do it well, you will suffer very serious losses... You see, Chairman, did we follow the regular fighting style of our Eighth Route Army, avoid its edge, take the initiative to withdraw from Taiyuan City, and conduct guerrilla warfare with the Yue Army in the huge Shanxi Province..."Vice Chairman Zhou also frowned and asked..."I don't think it's appropriate... Now the reader has been sent to the cusp of Chiang Kai-shek's propaganda, and the eyes of the people of the whole country are looking at our reader. If we don't put up any resistance and abandon Taiyuan, the provincial capital, what will the people of the whole country think of the Reading Force and our Eighth Route Army. I think that Chiang Kai-shek, who has always been uneasy about us, will not let go of this opportunity to strike at our Eighth Route Army... Therefore, no matter what, we can't take the initiative to give up Taiyuan, the provincial capital..."The boss said affirmatively..."Yes, the boss is right, no matter what, we can't take the initiative to give up Taiyuan City... And this battle, whether you win or lose, the Reading Division must fight..."The Chairman nodded and said affirmatively..."However, Chairman, the army has surpassed the current scale of the Reading Division, both in terms of strength and firepower. More importantly, the army also has a large number of air reinforcements. I think that just by virtue of the power of the reader, it is definitely not the opponent of the army. Since we can't take the initiative to retreat, should we transfer part of the main forces of the nearby 129th Division and the 120th Division to reinforce the Reading Division, and the three divisions will concentrate their forces to repel the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army together..."The boss pointed to the map and said..."Well, I think it's okay." These two main divisions, in a week's time, can draw at least 40,000 troops to reinforce the reading division. As for the ammunition supply of the troops, there is no need to worry at all. The Reader's arsenal in Taiyuan can completely replenish them with enough weapons and ammunition...."Vice Chairman Zhou agreed..."Well, that's a good idea. But I think that whether or not we can win this siege and annihilation battle depends mainly on the reader himself. Enlai, boss, I think we are not in a hurry now, the eunuch is in a hurry... Liu Hua, who was far away in Shanxi, didn't have any intention of being anxious, and the three of us began to be anxious... So, let's listen to this Liu Hua's thoughts first, and then make a decision... Perhaps, this Liu Hua will create an unexpected result for us? Gradually, the chairman's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he said with a smile to the two partners in front of him.

"The chairman is right, we first have to ask for the opinion of Liu Hua... Chairman, I will send a telegram in the form of an encrypted telegram to Liu Hua, the teacher of the reading division, and Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar. Give them a brief briefing on the situation of the army and ask them what they think...."Vice Chairman Zhou stood up from his seat and said with a smile... Immediately, an encrypted telegram arrived in the hands of Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan... As the content of the telegram was translated little by little, the entire encirclement and suppression battle plan of the Yue army also appeared in Liu Hua's mind little by little. Seeing the entire battle plan of the Yue army, he was ready to form two attack clusters in exactly as his few people had predicted at that time, and simultaneously launch an attack on the base area, and conduct the final decisive battle with his own reading division in the Taiyuan area. The corners of Liu Hua's mouth slowly showed a sneer..."Commander, the little devil really started to move. The chairman asked about the response plan of our reading division, and asked us if we needed the support of several other main divisions..."Looking at the commander who let out a sneer in front of him, political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked..."Political commissar, call back to the Military Commission [***], my reading division has the ability to repel the heavy encirclement and suppression of the army this time. However, in order to ensure the foolproof nature of this campaign, it is hoped that the other three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army can cooperate accordingly. In the entire North China region, a large-scale sabotage war was launched against the Japanese army. Let the little devils of the entire North China garrison army shrink into the county seat and clear the obstacles for the reading division to go north... Reading teacher Liu Hua....Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan..."Liu Hua replied... Of course, this telegram also arrived in the war room of the Yan'an Military Commission in the shortest possible time..."Chairman, what does it mean for Liu Hua to let the three main divisions launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Yue army in North China... You must know that the four main divisions of the Chinese army this time were all drawn from the south. Even if we go to the backyard of the little devils to set fires, it will be to let the New Fourth Army make some big moves in the southern region... But this Liu Hua is letting the three main divisions act in North China, I really can't figure it out..."After reading the telegram in his hand, Vice Chairman Zhou asked with a puzzled face..."Well, I can't figure it out either, what is this Liu Hua's mind in his heart... However, I still have great confidence in Liu Hua's command ability, since his reading division does not need reinforcements, then he has the ability to solve the encirclement and suppression operation of the Yue army this time with the existing strength...."The commander-in-chief replied affirmatively.

However, when Vice Chairman Zhou and the commander-in-chief were discussing Liu Hua's callback. The chairman's eyes were staring motionlessly at the telegram in front of him, as if there was a big secret hidden in the telegram in his hand... However, as the chairman thought, in this telegram, there was really a shocking battle plan... As long as this battle plan can really be fully implemented, it can be said that it will be another victory that shocks China and the rest of the world... The contents of the telegram, word by word, flashed through the chairman's eyes, and he analyzed it in his heart sentence by sentence to see if there was any mystery ... Looking at the chairman who was in deep thought, even Vice Chairman Zhou and the commander-in-chief, who had just discussed the content of the telegram, couldn't help but stop. The eyes of the two people, at the same time, stared motionless in front of them, like a statue of the chairman... Finally, after a few minutes of silence in the entire war room, the chairman, who was still frowning just now, immediately relaxed. At the same time, there was also a hint of sharpness in his eyes, a hint of excitement or relief... Because after a few minutes of thinking, the chairman has slowly seen through the entire telegram, a shocking battle plan hidden in the whole message..."Chairman, have you found anything?" Seeing the instantaneous change in the chairman's facial expression, the commander-in-chief knew the telegram in the chairman's hand, and hurriedly asked..."Enlai, boss. You see, this reply, although on the surface, Liu Hua asked the other three main divisions to cooperate and launch a large-scale counteroffensive in the entire North China region. In fact, the content of the entire telegram hides a very big battle plan, you take a look at this sentence 'Let all the little devils of the entire North China garrison army shrink into the county town and clear the passage for the reading division to go north....'" Seeing that the eyes of the two were all on his body, the chairman hurriedly pointed to a sentence in the telegram and said..."Chairman, you mean, this time Liu Hua plans to jump to the outside line and hit the little devil hard, so that the little devil has to draw troops to reinforce the erosive battlefields in North China..." The commander-in-chief replied thoughtfully: "Boss, your idea should be a little bigger, the content of Liu Hua's telegram is clear, they are going north... Now the time has not yet come to the northeast. Think about it, in the vast area north of Shanxi, apart from the northeast, what other areas can really prick the nerves of the Japanese army, so that they have to send reinforcements to rescue...."The chairman said with a smile.

"Ah, the Pingjin area... The reader intends to enter the Pingjin area... That was the headquarters of the North China garrison army, and more importantly, the entire Chinese dispatch army and almost all the strategic materials were hoarded in the Pingjin area... Whether militarily, politically, or internationally, the Pingjin region has a pivotal position....If the reader can really occupy the Pingjin area by surprise, the little devil will definitely send troops... And the closest army to the Pingjin area, that is, the four main divisions of the army that are preparing to besiege Shanxi Province... Liu Hua's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao is really perfect...."The commander-in-chief stared at the military map in front of him with a pair of big eyes, and exclaimed loudly..."Chairman, boss, I really don't want to fight, this Liu Hua's strategic vision is so long-term, directly staring at the Pingjin area hundreds of kilometers away from Shanxi Province, which makes me dare not think about it... However, I still have a question that I can't figure out, since the Reading Force Division has decided to send troops to the Pingjin area, why do we want our other three main divisions to take the opportunity to launch a large-scale counteroffensive in the entire North China region..."Vice Chairman Zhou was surprised and asked with a puzzled face..."Enlai, in fact, it is very simple to say, that is, let our army fight with the little devils in the entire North China region and paralyze the little devils... Hehe, let's let the boss tell you, a mystery in this, right? The chairman, who figured out the key to the whole issue, said with a smile.

"Enlai, that's the case, there are two main reasons why the entire North China region is chaotic. The first reason is to disrupt the realization of the Yue army and cover the Pingjin area for the Reading Division's troops, which can have a surprise effect. Another problem is that our departments of the Eighth Route Army can also expand their base areas and expand their influence under such favorable circumstances, and expand the influence of our readers..."The commander-in-chief explained with a smile.

"Great, this is really a plan that kills multiple birds with one stone, this Liu Hua, the war is really getting more and more godlike. It's just, Chairman, Boss. If the Reading Division sent troops to the Pingjin area, would they still have enough strength in their base area to hold out until the Pingjin Battle started and the main force of the army was forced to return for reinforcements? Vice Chairman Zhou nodded in realization. However, another question came to mind..."Well, according to the current combat effectiveness of the Reading Division, in order to take the Pingjin area in the shortest possible time, and transport all the strategic materials hoarded in the Pingjin area back to the base area, it will take at least 30,000 troops, and it will take at least a week... At that time, there will only be 120,000 regular troops left in the entire base area, and coupled with the defense problems in other directions, the only troops that the Reading Division can handle will be the troops in the two military subdivisions of Jindong and Northern Jin..." Well, let's not think about this anymore. Now that this Liu Hua is sure to fight this battle, the three of us don't think about it, just here, waiting for Liu Hua to send us good news... I believe that Liu Hua will not let us down this time...."The chairman, who couldn't think of any clue, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile to the two of them..."Yes, what the chairman said is right, I also believe that in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, Liu Hua and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Reading Division will definitely create a miracle for us again..."The commander-in-chief also said with confidence....

"Chairman, boss, since this is the case, then I will call Liu Hua back. The Central Military Commission fully agrees with their operational plan, and will let other units of the Eighth Route Army launch a large-scale counteroffensive throughout North China in the near future, disrupt the field of vision of the Yue Army, and clear all obstacles for your troops to move north....What do you think? Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and asked..."Well, just call back like this, in addition, I would like to add a sentence, I wish the reader in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, make new achievements and make new contributions to the revolutionary cause, my boss, and Enlai will be in the war room of the Military Commission, waiting for the good news of the reader..."

"Yes, Chairman, I'm going to call back the reader...", Vice Chairman Zhou stood up from his seat.

At this moment, Liu Hua, the commander of the Reading Division, was standing in the large war room, staring at the actual map hanging on the wall in front of him without blinking. And his gaze has not changed at all, staring at the Pingjin area, which is hundreds of kilometers away..."Commander, you really plan to march into the Pingjin area... According to the information sent back by the intelligence officers, it was confirmed that because of the successive losses of the garrison troops in North China, the size of the garrison of the Yue Army in the entire Pingjin area is now only one brigade and regiment, and the other is the puppet army units of nearly 10,000 people, which are stationed in various county towns..." The political commissar who looked at the commander's eyes and stared motionlessly at the Pingjin area on the map, and learned the commander's entire battle plan, said with the information he had just received in his hand.

"Well, political commissar, the reason why you chose the Pingjin area is that it's too tempting here... You see, this is a vast mountainous area, directly connected to the Tohoku region. This time, we can operate directly in this mountainous area, leaving at least one combat brigade of troops to establish a base here. In this way, it provides a very good rocker for us to enter the Northeast in the future... Another problem is to force the little devils who attacked our base area to withdraw their troops and return to the Pingjin area... However, there is another very important reason, that is, the hundreds of thousands of tons of combat materials that the little devils have hoarded in the Pingjin area....Such a large sum of materials, put there, it is too tempting...."Commander Liu Hua pointed to the map and said..."Well, a tactic of killing three birds with one stone...... However, I just don't know if the Central Military Commission will agree with our battle plan... The other is the left-behind troops, can they block the attack of more than 100,000 puppet troops before we occupy Pingjin? The commissar was in his own worries at the moment.

"Political commissar, don't worry, the two military divisions, with the cooperation of the two squadrons of the special operations brigade, will block and severely damage the two armies of the army, and there will be absolutely no problem. As for the Central Military Commission, I believe that the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the commander-in-chief will agree with our battle plan...."As for the question of the political commissar, Liu Hua did not take it to heart. Because, in his heart, there is already a plan to block the pace of the army's attack...
