―― Luliang Mountain

In Lu Liangshan's command post, the map on the wall has changed from a dense number of small blue dots at the beginning to only a few large blue dots, but there are more and more red dots, and on the largest blue dots, a sign with an airplane is clearly marked.

Jiang Cheng read on the side: "According to intelligence and radar data, the Japanese army's air force has increased rapidly in the past three days, of which there are between 120 and 130 planes in Taiyuan, more than 40 planes in Datong, more than 40 planes in Linfen, and more than 223 Japanese planes in Shanxi. The Japanese army has a total of seven air force units and three squadrons in North China, plus those transport planes and reconnaissance planes, there will be no more than 300 planes, and now there are seventy of them. Moreover, there are constantly planes concentrating in the three places. ”

Mr. Zhu asked, "How many planes does our army have now?" ”

Jiang Cheng said: "Our military can use about 100 aircraft, but the strength of our aircraft is definitely much higher than theirs. ”

When Mr. Zhu was in Yan'an, he knew that the Japanese army had his own people, but he couldn't tell what the Japanese army wanted to do when he saw such a formation.

Li Kenong, who came to help, said: "According to intelligence, more than eighty percent of the materials airlifted by the Japanese army are aviation fuel, and they don't even bring ammunition. ”

Zuo Quan asked, "Why don't they transport ammunition, if they want to use the air force to suppress our army, shouldn't they transport a large amount of ammunition?" Unless "

Mr. Peng smiled, "Unless they are not here to bomb us, but have another conspiracy." Transporting fuel in this way means that we are all in Shanxi, and there is no need for them to travel long distances. Then they just want to stay in the air for a little longer! ”

At this time, a communications soldier knocked on the door and walked in and handed Mr. Zhu a telegram.

Mr. Zhu looked at it and handed it to Mr. Peng, "The battles of Liaoxian, Youyu, and Heshun have all ended, and our losses are not small, from the average battle loss of four to one in guerrilla warfare and sabotage warfare to one to two .six, so that the non-main force is still barely able to fight the county." At the same time, a new situation occurred, and the Japanese planes did not bomb our troops to relieve the defenders as expected. On the contrary, it is relying on the sky above our army and not leaving, and if you analyze it comprehensively, the little devils are ready to use these planes as eyes to seize the main force of our army. ”

Zuo Quan immediately said, "That's just right." We came out with a lot of fanfare and lured them where we wanted them to go. ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Yes." I think it's okay, as long as the devil's army starts to sort, the second phase of the candle dragon can begin. But now that they're starting to sortie. It shouldn't be far off. ”

Before the words fell, another communications soldier ran in, and before he could shout a report. Another person. Then, more than a dozen communications soldiers kept running into the conference room, and everyone looked at each other and knew that something was wrong.

Mr. Zhu quickly looked at the telegram, handed it to Zuo Quan and Mr. Peng, and said, "The Japanese army has moved." The Japanese troops in Datong, Taiyuan, Jinzhong, Changzhi, Yangquan, and Shuozhou were all dispatched. They all took the brigade as a unit, and placed a long snake formation from the southeast, north, and south, and pressed it to the west. ”

Zuo Quan went out and called a bunch of staff officers in, and quickly began to redraw the sand table according to the information in the telegram.

About ten minutes later. The sand table is set up. Mr. Peng pointed to the sand table and said, "Not only the infantry of these big cities, but also the cavalry, air force, and engineers of the devils have moved. There are also a large number of puppet soldiers, about 70,000 or 80,000 people. ”

Mr. Zhu squinted his eyes and said, "This is trying to force us away." Fence us up. What a big deal, with the air force as the eye, the county as the point, the whole Taiyuan as a big chessboard, if we really only have this card, maybe we really have to suffer a few big losses. ”

Zuo Quan smiled and said, "But the devil's way of playing is as we like, we can attract all the devils to our predetermined battlefield, and then we will close the door and fight the dog!" ”

Mr. Zhu knew in his heart that this must be the person at the top of the Japanese army, otherwise the plan would not have gone so smoothly, Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Order all troops." Immediately began to shrink, and the militia teams organized the villagers to evacuate temporarily, so as not to be harmed by the devils, and ordered all the main forces to rush to the preset battlefield for me to prepare to close the door. Order the garrison corps and special forces, ready to fight at any time, besides, what is the situation on Yan Xishan's side? ”

Li Kenong said, "He, Yan Xishan, saw that we were fighting, and he also made a move, and he has already taken the three county towns of Guxian, Fushan County, and Anze County, and it seems that he has the intention of counterattacking Linfen again, but since the little devil dares to withdraw the troops from Linfen, I am afraid that our Chief Yan has done some big business." ”

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "Regardless of him, let's beat ours, let's start acting." ”

Several officers of the Jin Sui Army hurriedly walked to a compound, and Yang Aiyuan saw everyone drinking, "What do you want to do in such a hurry?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and pushed a person out, and the man said, "Chief Yang, we are in a good situation now, and most of the devils in Linfen City have been withdrawn, why don't we fight?" ”

Yang Aiyuan snorted, "What do you know? Chief Yan naturally had his own intentions. You obey the order is, okay, don't worry, I'll give you a breath. Linfen still has to fight, but not now, you control the troops, as long as you give orders from the peak, you will act immediately. After speaking, Yang Aiyuan turned around and entered the house, and several officers looked at each other helplessly, not daring to say anything more, so they could only leave.

In the house, Yan Xishan opened his eyes and asked, "Sent away?" ”

Yang Aiyuan nodded and said, "Chief Yan, the army is uncertain, everyone has tasted the sweetness, and they feel that the little devil is just like this, and they all want to fight back." ”

"Nonsense!!" Yan Xishan shouted: "That's a little devil, but is that? That's the little devil who is not here!! We all know the strength of the Japanese army, this time the Eighth Route Army has made such a big move, and the little devils are ready to deal with them with all their might! Isn't it just right to negotiate a temporary truce with us? Just let them fight first, and beat you to the death. It's good to lose both, I can see through it, the Eighth Route Army, Chiang Kai-shek, and the Japanese are not good things. I, Yan Xishan, am dancing on three eggs. We can't step on any of them, so we just pretend to be deaf and dumb and let them finish the scene first. ”

Jiang Zhong rubbed his eyebrows a little weakly. A pair of jade hands appeared on his shoulders and massaged him.

Jiang Zhong smiled and patted his hands and said, "It's okay." It's just that I'm a little tired, and the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee held in advance can make me tired enough, but I finally set the tone. ”

Song Meiling asked, "What's the tone?" ”

A light flashed in Jiang Zhong's eyes and he said, "Develop the rear, persist in the War of Resistance and change relations with the Reds." ”

When Song Meiling heard the change in her relationship with the Red Party, she couldn't help but say, "Speaking of the Red Party. They've been making a lot of noise in the north lately. The recent newspapers are full of their news, and they are almost overshadowing the news of the Fifth Plenum of our Central Committee. How did you say that? There is no workable railway in North China, and there is no telephone. With no supplies to transport, the Japanese army was trapped in the cities, waiting to be fed, and there was no way to fight. I want to retreat but I am unwilling. It can be described as a rat entering the bellows - both ends are angry, and the evaluation is quite high. ”

Jiang snorted, "That's why I want to adjust the relationship with the red, according to the regulations." Their Eighteenth Army was attached to the Second Theater of Operations, and I didn't let them out of Shanxi at all. The result? Not only did they not listen to Yan Xishan's orders, but they fought on their own. They also stretched out their hands to Suiyuan, Hebei, and even Shandong and most of North China, and if you look at how they fought this time, I think at least 120,000 people can fight such a battle. Anti-Japanese, anti-Japanese, in the end, I am afraid that it is not who wins between us and the Japanese. It was the Red Party in Yan'an that sat on the throne. ”

Song Meiling nodded and said, "Then how do we adjust?" ”

Jiang intermediary said, "Dissolve red, prevent red, limit red, and reverse red!" This is also to win the hearts of party members, you don't know. If it weren't for the fact that he was beaten by righteous soldiers and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, everyone saw Wang Jingwei's fate and feared that he would be assassinated in the past. I'm afraid a whole bunch of people will run to him. ”

Song Meiling asked suspiciously, "Righteous man? Didn't you send it from Darling? ”

Jiang Zheng shook his head and said, "I asked Dai Li and the Chen brothers, they are not their people, it seems that they should be civilian killers, don't forget Wang Yaqiao, who knows where there will be such people?" ”――

Wang Jingwei's rescue has long been over, and Zhongxi Gong can't help but sigh his good luck, the bullet only took away a large piece of muscle tissue, did not hurt the bones, did not hurt the internal organs, just heavy bleeding. After this period of treatment, Wang Jingwei has been out of danger.

Zhongxi Gong saw Chen Bijun lying on Wang Jingwei's body, and said to Chen Gongbo, who came with him, "Mr. and Mrs. Wang are affectionate, and they are really enviable." ”

Chen Gongbo nodded and did not speak.

Zhongxi Gong walked out of the room, saw the doctor, and asked, "How is Mr. Wang now?" What kind of medicine is used? ”

The doctor said, "Mr. Wang is out of danger and will wake up after a while, but in order to prevent infection in the wound, penicillin needs to be injected, fortunately we still have some, although it is seized, but it should not be tightened." ”

Penicillin, this life-saving miracle drug, until now only Jiang Cheng's Weihua company can be shipped and sold in large quantities, although Germany has obtained the industrial formula, but because there is no strain, the current output is still very low, but there is no problem. Other countries are still in the laboratory stage, and the source of penicillin of the Japanese army is, first, to buy products from Self-Defense China, but the price is too high, second, to capture the Nationalist Army, and third, to buy a Chinese who claims to be unwilling to give all his family business to his brother-in-law.

The third source of penicillin is large and cheap, and because there is often no packaging, the Japanese army packaged it by itself, and then claimed that it was self-produced, and publicized that Wei Hua had stolen the scientific research results of the Japanese, of course, Wei Hua was too lazy to pay attention to him.

When Nakanishi heard the doctor's words, he immediately scolded: "Why use the seizures? Don't you know what an important person Mr. Wang is? What if those seizures contained poison that the people had deliberately left behind? All of them are made of domestic products!! ”

When the doctor heard this, he quickly bowed his head and said, "Hey! I'll do it right away. ”

Chen Bijun woke up in a daze, heard the dialogue between Zhongxigong, and said gratefully, "Thank you Zhongxijun, your Japanese products must be better than our Chinese." ”

The corners of Zhongxigong's mouth curved slightly, and said, "I hope Mr. Wang recovers soon, and I will leave first if I still have something to do." ”

Chen Bijun nodded again and again. Send Nakanishi Gong to the door before going back.

-- Taiyuan

Takeda Takeo has unknowingly become Tada's close confidant, and at this time, he and Tada are listening to Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadaichi introduce the battle situation in the conference room.

Yoshimoto Sadachi drew a circle and said, "In four days, our army has cleared the Eighth Route Army in seven county towns. When these troops saw our large army, they often left small groups of troops to contain our troops, and then most of them fled, but under the surveillance of our cavalry and aircraft, they could not escape at all, although our army has not yet surrounded and annihilated any troops above the battalion level of the Eighth Route Army, but I believe it. As long as it continues, the encirclement and annihilation of the Eighth Route Army is already a sure thing. ”

Tada Jun nodded approvingly and said, "Okay, continue the siege." Those safe county towns should be carefully defended, and beware of the Eighth Route Army shooting back with a rifle. ”

Takeda Takeo rolled his eyes and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have a suggestion. ”

Tada asked, "Takeda-kun just say it." ”

"I think the best defense is offense. I checked the intelligence. The Eighth Route Army has a very large number of troops, and they are very scattered, not so much because we have succeeded in purging, but because the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to withdraw, and I think the Eighth Route Army must have thought of choosing our army to break through all the way in order to break the encirclement and suppression of our army. ”

Tada Jun said suspiciously, "We have planes in the sky, can they still ambush?" ”

Takeda Yixiong nodded and said, "Our planes can only catch their large forces, and if they make a plan to reduce their troops and increase them, our army will not be able to find out." ”

Yoshimoto nodded and said, "What Takeda-kun said makes sense. So what is your opinion? ”

Takeda Takeo said, "Draw half of the troops of all the safe counties and hang them behind the main forces at the front. As soon as the Eighth Route Army dared to attack our ambush, we would flank the front and rear, and go the opposite way to encircle and annihilate their troops. ”

Tada Jun exclaimed, "Okay, what does Yoshimoto-kun think?" ”

Yoshimoto Zhen nodded and said, "I think it can, and it can also guarantee that the Eighth Route Army will not be able to fight back against our army's rear road." ”

Tada said, "Then let's act according to Takeda-kun's opinion." ”

-- Qinyuan County

A unit without a flag is taking advantage of the rapid march of the night, because there are planes during the day, forcing the Eighth Route Army to march at night, but the night in January is longer than the day, but it does not delay the march, and thanks to the troops have always paid attention to night battles on weekdays, the march at night can also be persistent. From time to time, several gunshots were heard from behind the large force, which was an exchange of fire between the broken troops and the Japanese pursuing cavalry.

"Report to the regiment commander, a unit appeared in front, it seems to be someone from the national army." A scout said as he rode on a fast horse.

The regimental commander asked, "National Army? Could it be the Jin Suijun? What are they doing here? There are still more than 100 miles between here and their defense area. Let's go meet them. ”

After walking less than a mile, I saw a team standing there with torches, only to see that this unit was neatly dressed, the whole unit was silent, the officer headed by him had a wide mouth and a long face, his eyes were bright, he was wearing a straight officer uniform, about 1.85 meters tall, and the rank of colonel on his shoulder told everyone his identity.

The regiment commander clasped his fists and asked, "I am Ding Xianguo, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Taihang Mountain Guerrilla Zone of the Eighth Route Army, I don't know which hero of the Jin Sui Army is?" ”

The colonel also clenched his fists and said, "In Zhang Guangbei, the 65th Division of the Sui Army of the Lower Jin Dynasty, your Eighth Route Army has been in the limelight during this time, I really admire it." ”

Ding Xianguo shook his hand and smiled, "Are they all soldiers' duties, listen, the little devil is not loose in chasing us, Commander Zhang, the military situation is urgent, how about it in the future?" He also asked Head Zhang to get out of the way. ”

Zhang Guangbei waved his horsewhip and said, "Okay, get out of the way and let the friendly troops pass." “

Looking at the national troops on both sides of the road and the machine guns erected on the road, Ding Xianguo's brows furrowed slightly, only to see Zhang Guangbei smile and say, "Please." ”

Ding Xianguo nodded, waved his hand and said, "Comrades, move forward." As he spoke, he came to Zhang Guangbei's side, held Zhang Guangbei's hand and said, "Thank you Commander Zhang for coming to escort me." ”

Zhang Guangbei smiled, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Ding Xianguo took off his clothes and said, "It's not easy for us to fight, Commander Zhang, look at my weight." ”

I only saw that Ding Xianguo actually had seven or eight grenades tied to his clothes, but the fuse was dragging in his sleeves, and Zhang Guangbei's face suddenly changed drastically.

Ding Xianguo laughed and said, "Our Eighth Route Army is not afraid of death, no, in order to prevent me from being captured, I tied this up, Commander Zhang, what do you think?" ”

The corners of Zhang Guangbei's mouth slowly curved and said, "Not bad, not bad, Commander Ding, I don't know how many officers like you are in your army?" ”

Ding Xianguo ha: "There are about one or two thousand officers who are more capable than me, and there are about more than 10,000 officers who are similar to me." ”

Of course, Zhang Guangbei would not believe his words, seeing that the Eighth Route Army had all passed, Zhang Guangbei stepped on the horse and said, "Then your army has left safely, and Commander Ding is also invited." ”

Ding Xianguo nodded and said, "Okay, we don't change the green mountains, the green water flows forever, and I hope to have a day when we will fight side by side." (To be continued.) )
