- Modern time and space

Jiang Cheng looked at the warehouse full of various goods, and suddenly felt that he was indeed a little lazy during this time.

Lin Fei saw Jiang Cheng and said excitedly, "Brother Cheng, you are finally here, I thought you forgot about here, I haven't seen anyone pull goods for a month." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled, "You have to get used to it, maybe I won't return to China for half a year in the future to ship goods, how about it, I'm used to it." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Well, everything is fine, are you here to transport goods this time?" ”

Jiang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "The goods will be shipped in the next month, pay attention to the rules of the people below." ”

Lin Fei hurriedly said that there was no problem, and then ordered the guards to leave. After everyone left, Jiang Cheng brought the cart parts back to Yuci in 37 years.

This time, it was not Mr. Zhu or Zhou Guansheng who came to pick up Jiang Cheng, but Zuo Quan, who saw the tall container of the base, and said curiously, "203, what are you bringing this time?" ”

Jiang Cheng opened a box and said, "Look, this is a rubber-tyred cart, all of which are the best goods, with this, our transportation capacity and mobility can be greatly improved." ”

Zuo Quan hurriedly asked a few soldiers to put together a big cart, because most of the soldiers were from peasants, they were very familiar with the big cart, and they quickly assembled it.

I only see that the main body of this cart is made of stainless steel, after all, in modern time and space, wood is much more expensive than steel, the cart has four tires, up to 5 meters, it is a kind of animal power rubber-tyred cart, Jiang Cheng looked at the manual and said, "The maximum load capacity of this car is five tons, if necessary, six tons can also be loaded, but it will reduce the life of the vehicle, but this is a modern road to consider, if it is a mountain road, it is better to reduce it as appropriate." This material is special steel, which generally does not rust, but it is better to take good care of it. That's right. This one is a double pull, and if there is only one horse, it is better not to exceed three tons. ”

"Five tons?" Zuo Quan said in surprise, "Okay, this is good, with this, it will be much easier for us to move." ”

Jiang Cheng also nodded and said, "But this is relatively large, I still have more than 1,000 tires here, I think it is completely possible to mobilize the masses to replace the original wheelbarrow with rubber wheels, and when the time comes, it will definitely be transported more and faster." ”

Zuo Quan rubbed his hands happily and said, "I'm going to find Liu Dake and them, and let them implement this matter as soon as possible." By the way, 203, Mr. Zhu asked me to tell you that he was in Taiyuan for a meeting, if you are interested, go to him. ”

Jiang Cheng guessed that this would probably be about the future battle situation planning, Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and have a look, and I'll ask Chief of Staff Zuo here." ”

Mr. Zhu looked dressed as the Eighth Route Army. Jiang Cheng, who looked good, said with a smile, "Not bad, there is a soldier's appearance." ”

Jiang Cheng wore the Eighth Route Military uniform for the second time, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know why." As soon as you wear this, you have a feeling of acting. ”

Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said, "Is life like a play, okay, let's go to the conference room, don't let our Chief Yan wait for a long time." ”

- Second Theater Command

The headquarters is star-studded. The main generals of the second theater are here.

Most of the people were grim, and the battle situation was at this point, and no one was willing to mention the slogan of gathering and destroying the Japanese invaders and Shanxi that day.

"It's miserable. It's miserable, it's so bad, I don't have the shame to see the folks outside. Yan Xishan covered his eyes and said with a grief-stricken look.

Yang Aiyuan next to him persuaded, "Chief Yan, please hold on, now I still need you to preside over the overall situation." ”

Yan Xishan nodded and said, "Everyone, now the Japanese army is coming to Taiyuan from the northeast and two directions, and the two sides add up to more than 100,000 troops, do you have any ideas?" ”

Fu Zuoyi stood up and said, "Chief Yan, in the battle of Xinkou, our army suffered heavy casualties, and now the heavy weapons have also been lost, and now we can only rely on the terrain of Taiyuan to defend the city." ”

"Terrain? How did the terrain of Taiyuan fight? Liu Maoen, the commander of the 15th Army, got up and said, "Taiyuan, as the name suggests, is a large plain, although the terrain of Taiyuan is surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the northeast is an open land, and now the Japanese army is now approaching, we can't hold it in Xinkou and Niangzi Pass, but can we hold it in a plain?" ”

"If it's hard to fight, won't you fight? We will fight until the last soldier, but I'm afraid those bandits in your department won't have such a will to fight. Chen Changjie said with disdain.

The 15 th Army was a ragtag army among the real motley armies, and it was once called a bandit army, and the troops were composed of bandits, hooligans, militia groups, and all kinds of chaotic people from local cults. There are also more cold weapons than hot weapons, and a brigade is no more than a thousand people, which is the same as the strength of a battalion in other armies.

As soon as Liu Maoen heard this, the bandits came up angrily and scolded, "Motherfucker, what the fuck are you talking about, Lao Tzu's Zhensong army is poorly equipped, but Lao Tzu's big knife and spear beat the devil into an army, if you don't believe it, we will practice with a knife later." ”

"Hmph, still Zhensongjun, do you still want to rob Cixi's tomb again?" Chen Changjie said with a mocking face.

"Enough!" Yan Xishan slapped the table and shouted, "I let you figure out a way, not let you quarrel, and besides, in the future, if you fight to the last soldier, you will fight out, who will fight the devil?" Don't move your head either! ”

Huang Shaohong, who fled all the way back to Taiyuan, said: "The question now is whether Taiyuan is still defended. ”

"Shou, this is the capital of Shanxi Province, how can you explain to the people if you don't keep it?"

"How to defend it, it can't be held here, and it's just a casualty in vain."

"Are you going to surrender?"

"If you want me to say that you should retreat to Jinnan, where the terrain is dangerous, only there can you take advantage of the terrain to face the enemy."

"Topography? Hmph, is the terrain of Xinkou good, is the terrain of Niangzi Pass dangerous, is it useful? ”

The venue suddenly burst into a lot of noise, and there was everything to say.

Yan Xishan slammed the table hard, "Quiet, quiet!" ”

I saw that the crowd slowly quieted down.

Yan Xishan closed his eyes and began to calculate in his heart, the Japanese army is now overwhelmed, and although Nanjing in the south is now entangled with the Japanese army on the Wufu line, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the loss of Nanjing is already a matter of time. It's hard to say whether this war will be won or lost, the Europeans don't seem to be able to make a move, or they should have shot when Jiang Guangtou was in Shanghai, these Wang Ba protein people are not credible, the Japanese army is indeed powerful, Xinkou lost 100,000 troops in less than a month, and if it continues to fight like this, the Jin Sui army will have to fight out, no. Your own strength is the most important, really fight out, whether the Japanese win or China wins, you will not have a good end, but once you still have more than 100,000 Jin Sui troops in your hands, no matter what happens in the end, Shanxi, the rivers and mountains, is still the world of my Yan.

After thinking clearly, Yan Xishan said, "Taiyuan must be guarded." But you can't defend it, you have to fight in the field according to the city, I don't know which general is willing to take the initiative to ask for help? ”

At this time, most of the troops in Shanxi had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the more ruthless ones in the front were ten pavilions and nine pavilions. In battle, it has to be said that those who are brave and good at fighting are generally put in front, and a large number of heavy weapons are lost, so the combat effectiveness is only less than 30% of the beginning. Everybody, you look at me, I look at you. Don't speak. Everyone knows that Taiyuan is easy to enter and difficult to get out, and the only passage now is the south. But Taiyuan is a plain, as long as you stay in the city for a few days, it will be the end of making dumplings.

Jiang Cheng was excited and wanted to come down and take Taiyuan City, but when he saw Mr. Zhu shaking his head quietly, he continued to look at it.

Yan Xishan frowned and said, "Isn't there any general who is willing to fight for the country?"

Fu Zuoyi was Yan Xishan's first general, took a breath and stood up and said, "Chief Yan, this Shanxi is still guarded by Shanxi people, just let me stay." ”

Yan Xishan saw Fu Zuoyi stand up, and almost smashed the cup against this wood in anger, he is famous and calculating, how can he be more stupid than the other, Chen Changjie is like this, you Fu Zuoyi is also like this, if I want the Jin Sui army to guard Taiyuan City, what do I ask, just say no, Yan Xishan made up his mind, in the future, he must let his group of wooden generals read the mean well, how come the ancients didn't learn at all.

Seeing that Yan Xishan's face was cloudy, Fu Zuoyi felt that something was wrong, and said timidly, "However, our army has suffered heavy casualties in Xinkou, and it would be better if there were other generals to assist." ”

Yan Xishan's face looked better at this time, yes, he wasn't too stupid, he knew how to pull others into the water together.

But the head of the army who was sitting was not a fox, and when he saw someone carrying a bag, no one spoke.

Yan Xishan continued to knock on the side and said, "How is your 35th Army now?" ”

Fu Zuoyi lowered his head and said, "There are more than 100 casualties among officers above the company level, and there are less than 600 people left in each regiment. ”

Yan Xishan suddenly wanted to smash the cup again, it's all like this, you still take the initiative, do you think your Jin Suijun is really a person?

Yan Xishan saw that there was really no one to speak, and was about to sigh and agree to defend Taiyuan by his Jin Sui army, when a burst of laughter suddenly came: "Your army has suffered such heavy casualties for the anti-Japanese resistance, I'm afraid it has no combat strength now, I think it's better to replace people." ”

Relatives, tears of happiness are about to appear in the corners of Yan Xishan's eyes. After a quick look, he found that it was Zhu Daizhen, and his face suddenly fell again, everyone knew that the 18th Group Army was a good hand at guerrilla warfare, and never fought defensive battles such as defending cities. This Zhu Daizhen said this, completely standing and talking, without backache.

Yan Xishan said angrily: "Then who does Commander Zhu think he should send?" ”

Mr. Zhu sighed, "Our army wants to shed blood and sacrifice for the people of Shanxi, but unfortunately there is a lack of guns and ammunition, and we can't do it." ”

Yan Xishan rolled his eyes and said, "How can we, the people of Shanxi, let your ministry lack clothes and bullets?" Rest assured, if your army is willing to defend the city, I am willing to allocate 2,000 rifles, 50 light machine guns, 20 heavy machine guns, 10 mortars, 200 submachine guns, 1 million bullets, 1,000 shells, 200,000 grenades, and military rations. How is it? ”

"What a big deal, otherwise, Sir Yan, let our 15th Army guard Taiyuan." When Liu Maoen heard this amount of munitions, he immediately said with red eyes. You know, there were not so many machine guns in the entire 15 Army.

Several other military leaders are also a little eager to try, anyway, defend the city, keep it for a day, and keep it for a month, just take things and run away.

Jiang Cheng looked at Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu closed his eyes with a smile and shook his head slightly, expressing his reassurance.

Yan Xishan snorted and said, "But." The blood and sweat of the people of Shanxi is not taken for nothing, if anyone takes the blood and sweat of our Shanxi and does not fight for the people of Shanxi, then we will never forgive him. The national law and the military law will not forgive him, so don't forget Li Fuying! ”

When the army leaders heard this, they collectively stopped their mouths, looking at each other and not speaking.

Yan Xishan glanced around and continued, "Taiyuan City is a thousand-year-old city, if we don't keep it for a certain time, we will not be able to explain to the people of the whole country. ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Yan Xishan incomprehensibly, obviously a group of people were going to take the blame. Why do you want to scare people like that?

Yan Xishan continued: "I don't know which general is willing to come forward? ”

At this time, a signal soldier came in and said, "Report, the Japanese Fifth Division has broken through Dayu Town, and General Wei Lihuang sent a telegram saying that he could only block the Japanese army for another five days, and after five days, the Japanese army will arrive in Taiyuan." ”

The news made everyone look at each other, and it would arrive in five days, which was too fast.

Fu Zuoyi sighed and stood up, and was about to speak, when Mr. Zhu's eyes lit up and said, "Taiyuan City." I can keep it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yan Xishan pressed Fu Zuoyi onto the stool and said excitedly.

Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "The generals said that Taiyuan can't be defended, but it's because Taiyuan is not dangerous, but isn't Taiyuan City dangerous?" I think it's okay to let the Japanese army into the city. Street battles with devils, in the city, the role of Japanese tanks and aircraft is greatly reduced. Our army can give full play to the advantages of light weapons, and in my opinion, it can fight. ”

When the crowd heard. Most of them looked at each other and shook their heads, this street fight is easy to fight, but it is difficult to retreat, how to retreat when the time comes? I'm afraid it's still a situation where the whole army is wiped out.

Mr. Zhu continued: "Next, we need a strong-willed army that can fight and defend in Taiyuan City. So saying, he sat down.

Yan Xishan looked around, and suddenly said with a smile, "In terms of firm will, being able to fight battles, where is there a noble army here that is more suitable for these eight words?" ”

Mr. Zhu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Where, like the 33rd Army, the 34th Army, and the 35th Army, they are all extremely strong troops, and our Eighth Route Army is incomparable." ”

"Where, where, the Eighth Route Army fought the first battle of Pingxing Pass, and then fought Yanmen Pass, Yangmingbao showed its prestige, and the ghosts and gods of Qiqian Village were frightened, since the start of the war, there were many victories and few defeats, not only the second war zone, but also the whole of China, there are few teams that can be compared." Sun Chu hurriedly stood up and complimented.

Except for Fu Zuoyi and Chen Changjie, the other Jin Suijun were a little embarrassed, and they all got up and praised them, saying as if the Eighth Route Army was out of the army, and everyone could go to Tokyo to drink tomorrow.

Yan Xishan was already worried that the Red Party forces would enter Shanxi, and when he saw such an opportunity to weaken the Eighth Route Army, he would let it go, and immediately said, "As long as your army is willing to fight, we will ask for money and things." ”

Mr. Zhu said, "What if I want all the citizens of Taiyuan to leave Taiyuan and move some things in Taiyuan City?" ”

Yan Xishan calculated, after the loss of Taiyuan, it was also given to the Japanese army, and when he came back, he didn't know what it would be, and he wanted some weapons and ammunition, and I took all the weapons and ammunition that I might have brought, and the rest should be given to these people to buy their lives.

After thinking about it, Yan Xishan said, "After the main force in the theater is transferred, everything that Taiyuan can use, your army can take it by itself." ”

Mr. Zhu was waiting for this sentence, and he got up and said, "Okay, then it's decided, the time is urgent, I hope that Chief Yan will immediately mobilize all the citizens in Taiyuan City to leave Taiyuan, in addition, all the defense areas around Taiyuan will be handed over to our Eighth Route Army, and at the same time, the main force in the theater will be transferred as quickly as possible, I think, these tasks must be completed within three days, otherwise, it will be too late." ”

Yan Xishan couldn't wait to leave quickly, and hurriedly said, "Okay, good, Brother Dai Zhen is so righteous, I, Yan, will have a good reward in the future." ”

Yan Xishan actually began to transfer the assets of the Jin Sui army as early as before the Battle of Yanmen Pass, and at this time, only machinery was left in the arsenal, and all the raw materials were emptied. After all, what the arsenal lacked at this time was not productivity, but raw materials, and in history, Yan Xishan could only learn from the Eighth Route Army because of the lack of raw materials. Pick up railroads to make guns.

As soon as the meeting dispersed, the other generals all ran to their troops to prepare to retreat, Fu Zuoyi fell behind, and said to Mr. Zhu, "Chief Zhu, I, I'm really ashamed, our provincial capital of Shanxi actually wants your Eighth Route Army to defend it." ”

Mr. Zhu said hehehe, "It's all China's army, why bother to divide it so clearly, our Red Party's determination to resist Japan is not a joke." ”

Fu Zuoyi arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, if your army needs help in the future, I, Fu someone, will definitely help." ”

Mr. Zhu nodded with a smile and watched him leave.

Jiang Cheng finally couldn't help but say, "Boss, why did the 15th Army jump out at the beginning, Yan Laoxi still didn't want to." ”

Mr. Zhu said with a smile, "Those people only want arms, where do they really want to defend the city, they defend the city, maybe they run faster than that Yan Laoxi, where will Yan Laoxi let them defend the city, there are actually only three who can defend the city, Wei Lihuang's Central Army, our Eighth Route Army and his own Jin Sui Army, the others will not be willing to fall into a death place like Taiyuan, his purpose is actually for the last row of Tang Enbo to stand up, unfortunately, where will Tang Enbo send him to death, see no, the whole meeting, silent, But we came out, and he was also willing, this Yan Laoxi, the abacus played very loudly. ”

Jiang Cheng then understood, and asked again, "Are we really going to fight in the streets?" ”

Mr. Zhu smiled mysteriously and said, "It depends on the situation." After speaking, he walked out of the headquarters with Jiang Cheng.

Mr. Zhu looked at the people who were about to leave Taiyuan under the urging of the police and soldiers, and sighed, "Actually, the most bitter people are the people, but it's okay to go, it's really here, if the devil comes to the massacre or something, it's bad, okay, the idlers are leaving." We also have to prepare meals and entertain our guests. (To be continued......)
