After listening to Jiang Weimin's report, Yan Xishan's brows furrowed for a while, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. It stands to reason that the Chinese army won the battle and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese troops, which was also a great victory, and Yan Xishan, as the commander of the Second War Zone, should be happy.

But Yan Laoxi's mood at this time was not beautiful, it was not his troops who won the battle, but the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party. Although it is said that at this time, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Jin Sui Army, as long as they win the battle, it will be beneficial to the Second War Zone, Shanxi and Chief Yan, after all, the little devil is coming this time to invade his life.

However, the question is what kind of troops the Eighth Route Army is, and the GCD leads it, and their weapons and equipment Yan Xishan knows everything clearly, and even the Sichuan Army in the national army sequence is far inferior, let alone compared with the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army. But it is such an army that pulls out its teeth and completely annihilates a transport brigade of little devils, which makes more than 30 national army divisions on the Xinkou front line embarrassed, and how can he, the commander of the second war zone, be embarrassed! Isn't this a naked slap in the face, in addition to showing the heroic and good fighting of the Eighth Route Army, the rest also shows off his incompetence, which makes Yan Xishan happy

But in any case, the Eighth Route Army is also a Chinese army, and it also came to Shanxi to help him Yan someone in Shanxi, and the first battle of Pingxingguan did reduce the pressure on the first-line defenders of Xinkou, and he had to endure any pimples in his heart, so Yan Dashuai, the commander of Yan, sorted out his mood a little and instructed: "Xueyong, pass on my order, immediately send a report to the two generals of the Eighth Route Army, Zhu Peng, and say that I, Yan someone, congratulated the Eighth Route Army on its second victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Pingxingguan, At the same time, 500,000 rounds of ammunition and 300 spears and 200 boxes of grenades were sent to the Eighth Route Army. ”

After doing this, Yan Xishan was quite excited, looking at the roof with a frown, thinking in his heart how the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands could not fight a beautiful battle, since the start of the war, the regular army under his command really did not fight a beautiful battle, and the only thing that was remarkable was that the battle of Li Fuying's 61st Army to defend Tianzhen could still give the commander of the Jin Sui army some face.

However, the security regiment of Xinghe gave him Yan a lot of face, the first big victory since the start of the war, and the number of enemies annihilated, and the high level of Japanese officers killed was unprecedented, even the Songhu front, which is now fighting fiercely, did not create such a brilliant record, and it was against the Japanese Chahar Dispatch Corps, which was all reorganized by the most elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese army.

It's a pity, after the battle, the little guy's troops are probably gone, and now they are surrounded by tens of thousands of little devils, and I don't know if they can repel the attack of the Japanese army. Thinking of this, Yan Xishan couldn't help but regret for a while, why was he so uncalm at that time. As soon as he was excited, he married his baby niece to that stinky boy, if that kid couldn't survive this time, Changxi wouldn't be widowed before he passed the door.

There is now a widow (five sisters) in the family, he doesn't want to have another unmarried widowed junior, speaking of this Yan Xishan is a headache, secretly scolding Chen Feng for not knowing how to lift, let him retreat and dare to openly disobey orders, really don't take him as a commander.

When he was having a headache, a woman in a long white dress walked in with a wooden plate, came to Yan Xishan and said, "Uncle, the fifth aunt said that you haven't eaten dinner yet, so I made a bowl of noodles, you can eat some first, if you are tired, the sky in Shanxi will really fall." ”

"It's Changxi, hey, it's really hard for you. Now the little devils are rampant, the heart of Shanxi is not dead, from the north to the north to the south to Wei County, nearly 100,000 troops have been arranged on a thousand-milelong front, and our troops are not angry, the current situation is difficult! "I love this niece Yan Xishan very much, he doesn't have a daughter, so he raises this niece as a daughter.

"Uncle, don't worry, no matter how difficult the situation is, it is only temporary, now don't the two parties of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also abandon their previous grievances and cooperate again, as long as all Chinese can unite, why worry about the little devil will not be destroyed, besides, the soldiers of our Jin Sui Army are not incompetent, didn't they win a big battle some time ago?" Yan Changxi said with relief.

"Hey, I'm a little angry when I talk about that kid uncle, after the last battle, his security regiment is basically exhausted, and the little devil has sent more than 20,000 male soldiers to attack Xinghe this time, and it is completely aimed at him. Your Uncle Yisheng ordered that stinky boy to retreat to Fengzhen Datong to rest, and then fight after the troops are replenished, I didn't expect that kid to not appreciate it, and said that he wanted to live and die with Xinghe, and now I don't know what happened to that kid, if he has three long and two short, what can you do! Yan Xishan said with a sigh.

"What can I do, Chang Xi will keep him a widow for the rest of his life, serve his in-laws well, and send the second old man to his death. He is a hero, and Chang Xi can't do anything that hurts his reputation. Yan Changxi said seriously.

"Well, you're only 18 years old"

"Uncle, Xi'er knows your intentions, but how could our Yan family do such a chilling thing, besides, I also believe in him, a hero like him will not die so easily, since he can create a miracle once, then he can create a second and third time, Xi'er believes in him!"

"Hey, silly boy, forget it, I hope that kid is blessed with a great life, and tomorrow Uncle will ask Uncle Yisheng to send another brigade to reinforce Xinghe, and that's all Uncle can do!" Yan Xishan said with a sigh.

At this time, a guard guarding the door strode in and said, "Report to the commander, the colonel came again just now, saying that there is an important military situation to report to you." ”

"Let him in!" Yan Xishan Road.

"Yes"

Yan Xishan was quite puzzled in his heart, it was only ten minutes, why did Jiang Weimin come back again, if there is anything that cannot be said at one time, fortunately, the old man and I did not go back to the room to rest, otherwise there would be a toss.

The sound of "stepping on the stone road" leather boots pulled Yan Xishan's thoughts back, and Jiang Weimin walked in with a happy face and said, "Handsome, Xinghe is a great victory!" Xinghe is a great victory! ”

As a child of a big family, Yan Changxi knew very well what she could and couldn't participate in, and she heard that her uncle had business to deal with, so she planned to retire first. But when she heard the word Xinghe, her heart moved, and she stopped walking out.

She hadn't heard of the name of Xinghe before, let alone been there, but during this time, this place name frequently appeared in her ears, whether it was her parents or her uncle and aunt have told her many times, because the uncle found the Lang Jun for her is a person there, and she also knows that the Japanese are besieging him there during this time, and I don't know if the Xinghe victory in Lu Dao is related to him.

"What do you say, Xinghe victory?" Hearing the word "great victory", Yan Xishan's spirit was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly asked.

"Report to the marshal, I just received a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Fu Zuoyi and the 222nd Division, the 222nd Division once again hit the Japanese army in Xinghe and sent a corps to Chahar, annihilating more than 33,000 Japanese puppet troops, including more than 7,900 puppet soldiers, 172 Japanese soldiers, and killed one Japanese army lieutenant general, two Dazuo, five Zhongzuo, eight Shaozuo, and more than 80 officers below the rank of lieutenant. At the same time, a county town was recovered, several Japanese planes were shot down, more than 60 Japanese combat vehicles were destroyed, and a number of weapons and equipment were captured. Jiang Weimin said loudly.

"This is impossible, there are only a few people in the 222nd Division, and there are only more than 20,000 little devils who attacked Xinghe, how can it be possible to annihilate more than 30,000 people, it must be Chen Feng's bastard who lied about his exploits!" After listening to Jiang Weimin's report, Yan Xishan's first feeling was that it was fake, this is not an example of winning more with less, but there are so many enemies, how can the number of enemies destroyed be more than 10,000 people, this is not a fake ghost.

"Marshal, the humble post has been confirmed just now, this matter is absolutely true, the 222nd Division did not lie about its combat exploits. Here's what happened, the Japanese army and the two armies besieged Xinghe, and the number was indeed only more than 20,000. However, the strength of the 222nd Division is not only a few thousand people, before the Japanese army besieged Xinghe, the 222nd Division collected more than a dozen bandits, and the number of troops has exceeded 20,000, but before the 222nd Division reorganized these bandits, the little devils came. The 222nd Division learned that in order to cooperate with the siege of Xinghe County by the Japanese army in Zhangbei County, almost all the troops moved south, and the troops in the city were empty. Therefore, on the one hand, the strong city fortifications were used to attract the main force of the Japanese army, and at the same time, the cavalry troops and thousands of bandits and miscellaneous troops were sent to besiege Zhangbei County, forcing the Japanese army to return to Zhangbei County, and on the other hand, the main force was sent to ambush the Japanese reinforcements in Daqinggou, a dangerous place between Xinghe and Zhangbei, and annihilated more than 5,000 Japanese puppet troops in one fell swoop. Subsequently, the 222nd Division, together with the guards of the squires and wealthy households in Xinghe and the young and strong men in the county, plus more than 1,000 additional soldiers and the cavalry regiment sent to him by the marshal, tens of thousands of troops besieged the Japanese army outside Xinghe County from all directions, and with the cooperation of the defenders in the county, the Japanese army was taken by surprise, and finally drove the Japanese army to a small hill five kilometers outside Xinghe City, and finally annihilated the Japanese army after six hours of hard fighting. None of the Japanese puppet troops, including the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Brigade, Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, escaped the net. Jiang Weimin explained.

"This is not right, even if you add the Japanese troops eliminated in Zhangbei County, it is impossible to destroy more than 30,000 enemies, so where did the remaining thousands of people come from." Yan Xishan continued to ask.

"The marshal is like this, in order to block the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Tianzhen to the north, Chen Feng sent the most elite reinforced battalion in his hands to Xinping Fort between Xinghe and Tianzhen, and then the Japanese puppet army of more than 30,000 people stormed Xinping Fort, the two sides launched a tragic offensive and defensive operation in Xinping Fort, the battle lasted for nearly eight hours, the 222 Division's reinforced battalion of 1,000 people was almost wiped out, and there were less than 200 survivors, and all of them were wounded. However, they caused huge casualties to the Japanese army, and the corpses on the battlefield amounted to more than 6,000 bodies, and if the wounded were added, it was judged that the casualties of the Japanese army should be more than 10,000 people, so the losses of the Japanese puppet army in this battle would definitely not be less than 33,000 people. Moreover, according to the report of the 222nd Division, after they captured Zhangbei County, they found that there was a Japanese army field hospital in the county, which contained more than 1,000 wounded Japanese soldiers, among which the less injured ones were sent to the battlefield by the Japanese commander when they attacked the city, and they were all wiped out by them later, and they also eliminated 1,200 or 300 puppet troops in Zhangbei County. Besides, the battle of besieging Abe Norihide and the later battle to reinforce Xinping Fort were all participated in by our 7th Cavalry Regiment, which can't be faked! ”

"Does that mean this victory is real?"

"It's true, it's true!"

"Ha Lu haha, it is worthy of our family Chang Xi who sees the right person, good and good, immediately send a report to Nanjing, and at the same time transfer two regiments from the newly recruited recruits to the 222nd Division, and send another batch of weapons and equipment, and another 200,000 oceans to the 222nd Division. Other rewards will be discussed until further notice! Yan Xishan ordered excitedly.
