"Commander, although this conjecture is very bold, we have to be cautious. Therefore, I think we should immediately report your conjecture and let the central government be prepared in this regard. The commissar continued.

"Commissar, it's still thoughtful, and as for the telegram, it's up to you to draft it. However, it should be added that if the conjecture becomes true, the reader will once again launch the Taiyuan Campaign according to the situation, severely attack the morale of the Yue army and the newly established political axe, and raise the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country to resist the war. Liu Hua nodded and commanded.

"Division commander, I understand this, this is a big congratulatory gift to the establishment of Nanjing's arrogant political axe. Let him know that our Chinese determination to resist will never be reduced in any way. At the same time, it can also warn some generals who want to surrender to the enemy or are about to surrender to the enemy, so that they will not become hated for eternity if they make a mistake" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan immediately understood what the division commander meant, and said loudly.

As a result, the New Year's party of the reading teacher broke up unhappily because of the sudden surrender of Wang Jingwei. However, a telegram summarized by political commissar Luo Ronghuan was quickly sent to Yan'an and came to [***] and Vice Chairman Zhou.

In northern Shaanxi, a small farm yard that has appeared countless times on TV. [***] and Vice Chairman Zhou, did not have any joy because of the arrival of the New Year. Because they also frowned because of the Wang Jingwei incident. What's more, when they saw Liu Hua's bold guess, their brows furrowed even deeper

"Enlai, this Zhang Hua's eyes are very vicious, I didn't expect to see it so long-term. Well, our intelligence department, is there any information on this aspect. After reading the telegram sent by Liu Hua, the chairman gently placed the telegram on the table in front of him and said to Vice Chairman Zhou, who was also frowning beside him.

"Chairman, according to the intelligence collected in various places, this Wang Jingwei has been holding many talks with senior generals of the Yue Army since he defected. Even at the end of May last year, he went to meet with Prime Minister Yueben and received a large number of assurances from Yuben's political axe. At the end of August, Wang Jingwei and others convened the so-called Sixth Congress of the Puppet Nanjing National Political Axe in Shanghai, formulated the "Political Program of the National Government of Nanjing, China," and issued a manifesto. We once again recognize the three principles of "good neighborliness and friendship," "joint defense against communism," and "economic cooperation." Speaking of this, Vice Chairman Zhou raised his head. I saw that the chairman was still frowning, and while listening to Vice Chairman Zhou's introduction, he was smoking a cigarette and constantly highlighting the face of the chairman who was constantly protruding the smoke, and Vice Chairman Zhou could clearly know that the chairman's psychology was very chaotic and bad at this time.

"In addition, according to the information sent by the intelligence personnel we have planted in the enemy, this Wang Jingwei has long been under the support of Yue himself, and has begun to brew his Wang puppet regime. According to the data, if nothing else, there is still one to two months to go, and this puppet political axe of Nanjing's puppet state will be established in Nanjing, and it will become a puppet regime that says that he himself rules China. Vice Chairman Zhou sighed and said.

"I really didn't expect that this Liu Hua's guess would be so accurate, it seems that the two of us really didn't misunderstand him. Enlai, what do you think our Eighth Route Army should do with this matter? The chairman nodded and said with a smile.

"Chairman, if this matter is really discovered, there is no doubt that we must keep the same pace with Chiang Kai-shek in Yucheng as soon as possible. However, this Zhang Hua's proposal, I think, we should be able to consider it. When the time comes, give Wang Jingwei's pseudo-national name political axe a good gift. Vice Chairman Zhou replied with a smile.

"There is another question, according to Liu Hua's recent secret communication with us, he has reminded us many times that our army should take advantage of this time to hoard a large number of various strategic materials and a large number of hard currency. We should also give top priority to this matter. Now that our Eighth Route Army has grown into a force of hundreds of thousands of people, I think the current Chiang Kai-shek is also very considerate of us. Therefore, we must be prepared for Chiang Kai-shek to launch [***]** again. The courage to hoard all kinds of strategic materials to prevent the Kuomintang from carrying out all kinds of economic and material blockade on the base areas under our control. [***] finally said.

As a result, the battle plan reported by Liu Hua was approved by the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou without hesitation. With the combat orders personally issued by the chairman and vice chairman Zhou, division commander Liu Hua did not hesitate at all, and immediately began to dispatch troops.

Of course, because at this time, most of the entire Shanxi region was occupied by the Reading Division, so in the three directions of the southeast and north of Taiyuan City, it was impossible for the army to send reinforcements one soldier at a time. At most, in the vast area west of Taiyuan, there are almost one reinforcement of the Kwantung Army brigade that can be mobilized.

For the Kwantung Army of this brigade, Liu Hua certainly knew that he didn't have such a big appetite, so he ate these people and more than 10,000 soldiers in the city. Therefore, it is no surprise that the task of blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese army was handed over to the plateau of the 2nd Division, which was closest to the enemy-occupied area. Their task was very simple, that is, to block the reinforcements of the army as much as possible, until the main force captured Taiyuan City. Of course, if it is possible, we can also kill and injure the living forces of the army as much as possible, and wait for the directly subordinate column to free up their hands and solve the problem of the entire Shanxi in one fell swoop.

As for the more than 10,000 puppet troops in Taiyuan City, as well as the aviation of a flying brigade, Liu Hua handed over the directly subordinate columns, guard brigades, cavalry regiments, heavy artillery regiments, and the newly established armored regiment in his own hands

"Division commander, isn't this plan too risky, this is more than 10,000 little devils, and there is also a mountain artillery wing, 36 105mm heavy mountain guns, and a flying group, 36 various combat aircraft. As for the other heavy firepower, it can be said that there are countless of them. Division commander, with more than 20,000 people in the column directly under him and the guard brigade, can you eat?" After reading the battle plan drawn up by division commander Liu Hua, the political commissar and the chief of staff were both stunned and said in disbelief.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, you have forgotten about our attack on Yangquan County, as long as there are dozens of field artillery howitzers of the heavy artillery regiment, it will be a matter of time before we rush into Taiyuan. Besides, this time we also have the assistance of the armored regiment. As for the planes of the Japanese army, there is absolutely no need to worry, when the time comes, when we launch an attack at night, their planes will definitely not play any role. Moreover, before dawn, I will definitely let our artillery regiment destroy this air base. As for the 36 large-caliber mountain guns in the hands of the little devils, don't forget, we still have an ace unit in our hands. When the time comes, I will get all the equipment and ammunition of the entire mountain artillery wing of the little devils, and set up our own large-caliber mountain artillery regiment of the Reading Division. Looking at the two people who were stunned, the division commander Liu Hua replied with confidence on his face.

"However, division commander, since the last time we attacked Taiyuan, the little devil's artillery unit was attacked by our special operations brigade, the little devil has already strengthened its vigilance in this regard. Now if you want to send nearly 1,000 special combat personnel into Taiyuan City easily, I don't think it's so easy, right? At that time, if we can't destroy these 36 105-mm mountain guns in time, then our chances of success in attacking Taiyuan can be said to be very small. Li Qing, the chief of staff who knew the enemy situation best, still replied with a worried face.

"Lao Li, you have forgotten one thing, that is, we will attack Taiyuan on the night of the establishment of the Nanjing puppet national political axe. As for the special operators, they tried to sneak in that day. Can you tell me about it, in such a major event as the establishment of the puppet national political axe in Nanjing, I think there must be many places occupied by the Japanese army that are preparing to hold celebrations. I think that as long as the army in Taiyuan City holds a celebration, our special combat personnel will have a way to sneak into Taiyuan City and catch him off guard. Liu Hua replied without any worries.

"Division, since there is such a good opportunity in front of us, of course there is no reason why we should not vote for the little devils. Division commander, I agree with your opinion, let's have a second dozen Taiyuan" Seeing the division commander Liu Hua with a confident face, political commissar Luo Ronghuan seemed to have made his own decision, and said affirmatively.

"Division commander, the political commissar has agreed, and I don't have any other opinions. I also agree to fight this battle, I believe, when the battle is over, the whole of Shanxi will be our reading division, and when the time comes, we will develop the troops well, and when the time is ripe, we will march into the northeast, and the little devil Kwantung Army will work with the three provinces in the northeast, and liberate the entire three northeastern provinces" Chief of Staff Li Qing also nodded, followed by the political commissar and said.

"Okay, thank you for your support. However, all battles need to wait for one thing, that is, the establishment of Wang Weizheng Axe in Nanjing. However, before it happens, we must be prepared for war. That's right, political commissar, chief of staff, I intend to start dispatching troops before the enemy's political axe is established, and all the troops that should be transferred will be transferred to the vicinity of Taiyuan to hide. Especially the heavy artillery regiments and armored regiments in our hands. In addition, in order to concentrate more superior firepower, the air defense regiment and the 1st Divisional Artillery Regiment also participated in our battle this time. Zhang Hua gratefully glanced at the two partners in front of him and said.

And just when the Reading Division, under the command of the division commander Liu Hua, began to secretly transfer troops. The establishment of the puppet national political axe headed by Wang Jingwei is also ready. Finally, on this day on March 30, the Nanjing puppet national political axe, which was not unexpected by Liu Hua, was officially established in Nanjing.

At the same time, Wang Jingwei also officially assumed the post of chairman of the Nanjing puppet national political axe with the support of himself, becoming the first Han Dynasty in Chinese history. Of course, in the face of the establishment of the puppet national political axe in Nanjing, the national political axe, which has always been weak, because Wang Jingwei challenged his authority this time, the political axe's reaction was unexpected and very fast.

Just after Wang Jingwei's speech at the inauguration ceremony, the Yucheng Nationalist Axe headed by Chiang Kai-shek immediately issued a declaration that the Nanjing puppet Nationalist Axe was an illegal political axe, and at the same time, China would not recognize all the treaties signed by the Nanjing Puppet Nationalist Axe headed by Wang Jingwei and the Yue Army

And just when the two political axes were fighting a war of words, the situation of resistance in the whole of China changed dramatically in an instant. Those [***] generals who had long wanted not to continue to fight with Yu himself, under the temptation of the high-ranking officials promised by the puppet national political axe in Nanjing, turned against Wang Jingwei's puppet national political axe. At the same time, many important members of the Kuomintang also telegraphed to the whole country at the same time, and turned to Wang Chingwei's Nanjing puppet national political axe.

For a time, the puppet national political axe headed by Chiang Kai-shek could not help but fall into an embattled situation. That didn't last long, though. Just when Chiang Kai-shek was sitting in his study, at a loss for this matter, [***], who was far away in Yan'an, sent a telegram to the outside world in time. Continue to support the Yucheng Guoming political axe headed by Chiang Kai-shek, lead the people of the whole country to continue the war of resistance, resolutely drive the Yue army out of China, and eliminate all Han annihilation who surrendered to the enemy. At the same time, all the officials who surrendered to Wang Jingwei as the name of the country and the political axe were all shot for the crime of Han annihilation in the course of subsequent battles

With the leading role of China, armed factions throughout the country sent telegrams to Chiang Kai-shek, supporting Chiang Kai-shek to continue to lead the people of the whole country to continue to resist. It was not until this time that Chiang Kai-shek really came out of the shadows and began to issue to all the ordinary people throughout the country as a leader, about the punishment of the Han Dynasty headed by Wang Jingwei

However, the establishment of the Nanjing puppet national political axe can be said to be the biggest good news since the occupation of the capital of the national political axe for the Yue army, which has fallen into the quagmire of the battlefield in China. When it was learned that the puppet national political axe in Nanjing had been completed, the garrisons in various parts of the army held various celebrations and drinking parties to celebrate this victory. Even Lieutenant General Tada Jun, the supreme commander-in-chief of the North China garrison, was invited to Nanjing to attend Wang Jingwei's inauguration ceremony.

Similarly, Taiyuan was one of the important cities occupied by the Yue army. On this day, a ceremony was also held at the headquarters of the Supreme General Headquarters of the Japanese Army. As a result, the supreme commanders of the major strongholds and counties still occupied by the army brought their own personal guards. At the invitation of Major General Nakamura, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Taiyuan, he came to Taiyuan to attend this celebration meeting. On this day, nearly 1,000 members of the special operations brigade, carrying short guns, mixed in with these teams entering the city in various ways to congratulate them, and entered this heavily defended Taiyuan City.

Of course, the Yue army defending the city was all excited in the face of such a happy thing, and they didn't expect that just now, there were already nearly 1,000 members of the Reading Division Special Operations Brigade and nearly 1,000 special combat members who made them frightened, and because of their negligence, they were put into Taiyuan. And this special operations brigade at this time, in addition to destroying the enemy's mountain artillery wing. There is also an important task, that is, to take advantage of the gathering of commanders at all levels of the army to the Supreme General Headquarters of the army, to give the commanders of the entire Shanxi army a one-pot end, and take advantage of this favorable opportunity to solve all the defenders in Shanxi in one fell swoop.

Of course, this plan is very risky. However, in the face of the temptation of such a large base area in the entire Shanxi Province. After rigorous discussions, it was reported to the Military Commission. Eventually, with the support of the chairman, the Military Commissar agreed to this risky plan. As for the political commissar and chief of staff of the division headquarters, they also resolutely supported this battle and wiped out the tens of thousands of remaining troops in Shanxi.

So, I just wanted to give Nanjing Wang Jingwei the establishment of the puppet national political axe, and send a lucrative reader. Before you know it, the level of the battle has been raised several levels, and it has become a veritable big battle

At this time, Liu Hua, as the initiator of the entire campaign, was waiting in a mountain several kilometers away from Taiyuan City with the political commissar and the chief of staff.

"Division commander, the special operations team hasn't sent a telegram yet, is something wrong?" Looking at the watch on his arm, the chief of staff said with an anxious face.

"Chief of Staff, calm down, it has only been less than five hours now, and even if the special operations team all mixes into Taiyuan City, it will take at least one or two hours to assemble." Looking at the chief of staff with an anxious face, division commander Liu Hua hurriedly comforted. In fact, at this time, even Liu Hua's own heart was raised by this special operations team.

"The division commander, the political commissar, the chief of staff, and the special operations brigade have sent a telegram" Just as the three of them kept looking at the watches in their hands, an exclamation came from the newspaper room next to the headquarters. Soon, I saw a communications staff officer, holding a telegram, and hurriedly rushed into the headquarters.

"What is the content of the telegram?" Division Commander Liu Hua then asked.

"Division commander, everything is safe," the communications staff officer replied with excitement on his face. And at the same time as hearing these four words, the chief of staff and the political commissar headed by Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and exhaled a long breath.

"Okay, great, Staff Officer Wang, call back to the special operations team immediately and act according to the original plan," division commander Liu Hua said with certainty. Obviously, from the tone just now, it can already be seen that Liu Hua is confident in this battle.

"Yes, division commander, political commissar, chief of staff" Staff Officer Wang turned around and left the headquarters

"Division commander, now that the special operations team is in place, are we starting to act according to the original plan?" Chief of Staff Li Qing once again stood up and said.
