Yang Longfei sat on the grinding plate in the courtyard, smoking a cigarette leisurely with Erlang's legs crossed, and humming a few minor tunes from time to time, boringly passing the rest of the day. The guard Li Shenshu was also very dishonest, scurrying around the yard like a frightened duck, lifting a stone lock for a while, practicing leg skills for a while, and then returning to the same place to play the "Wang Baquan" after kicking the earthen wall, and when he was tired, he picked up the bamboo broom against the wall and "painted the dragon" on the ground, raising a burst of choking dust, so angry that Yang Longfei sat on the grinding plate and scolded his mother.

Since returning to the regimental headquarters, his mood will become extremely bad. There were two main reasons that affected his mood, one of which was that the headquarters assigned the independent regiment to the establishment of the guard unit during his recuperation, and the daily activities of the cadres and fighters of the whole regiment were all under the nose of the head of the headquarters. There are also liaison officers between the two stations to be in charge of monitoring, and the independent regiment has a slight disturbance, and I am afraid that the headquarters will know before the troops can pull out of the village. Yang Longfei is an idle person, he doesn't like to be restrained when he is young, he usually wants to set off a three-foot wave when there is no wind, and now he is treated as this wild horse that has come back as a sheep to herd, isn't this a tired and crooked person?

This is nothing, he knows the temper of the head of the headquarters and the division commander, as long as he does not make any big mistakes, he will turn a blind eye to it. But now it's good, the headquarters is in charge, and a new political commissar has been sent, and it seems that he was still a military cadre before, and there is always a sense of wanting to replace him, isn't this the opposite? According to Lao Tzu's reputation for so many years, it is almost impossible to be a division commander, and it is reasonable to be a brigade commander. What's going on now? Even Lao Tzu, the head of the regiment, has to be snatched away? The rice stalk knocks the gong——— (rings) and thinks beautifully (no)!

"Li Shengun, what's wrong with your kid's illness? If you want to sweep the yard, you can sweep it well, if you don't want to sweep, go back to the house and sleep, no one forced you to do this, don't fucking make a maze here, don't you know? Yang Longfei scolded angrily while rubbing his eyes.

Li Shenshu hurriedly stopped the labor at hand, and complained with a smile: "Regiment leader, I know why you are upset, you must have met with the new political commissar, people said a few words that you don't like to hear, you don't like to pierce your ears, that's why you are angry here." ”

"You kid don't understand, don't be foolish......" Yang Longfei replied impatiently, and then took a heavy puff on his cigarette.

"Look, you beat me up when I tell a lie, and you are not happy when I tell the truth, am I wrong? Don't you worry about this? Oh, come to think of it, I know why you're smoking alone. Alas, Commander, I ask you something, but don't be anxious with me. ”

Yang Longfei glanced at Li Shenshu and said, "It depends on what you say, if you don't like it, don't say that I'm in a hurry with you, I won't discuss beating you......"

"Alas, regiment commander, then I can ask, do you think the food cooked by our independent regimental cooking class is delicious, or is the food in our field hospital delicious?" Li Shenshu pretended to be very innocent and asked expressionlessly.

Yang Longfei turned his head vigilantly and asked, "What do you mean, kid?" ”

"No, don't you care what I mean, just answer my question directly, won't it be over? In fact, whether this meal is good or not is secondary, the important thing is how to eat this meal. I've heard people and wounded people say that being fed by others and eating by themselves are completely different things, and you can enjoy it when your hands and feet are idle. It would be even more different if the person who fed the food was a lesbian, the wounded had to say nothing on his lips, and he had to pretend to be the chief with a stiff face, seemingly indifferent, but his heart was as beautiful as eating bee feces. Leader, tell us about it, what does it feel like to be fed? Especially when you were fed by Dean Gao, what did you think in your heart? ”

After Yang Longfei sneered, he crushed the cigarette butt in his hand with the sole of his shoe, and did not forget to say before standing up: "Get out of ......"

"Hey, if you don't say it, don't say it, why are you still turning your face......" Li Shenshu stood in place and muttered.

Yang Longfei walked out of the yard alone, with his hands behind his back, casually walking on the side of the road. He doesn't know what's wrong with him, why since he was left the hospital, the whole person seems to have lost his soul, could it be true that as the kid Li Shengun said, he was subconsciously nostalgic for the days when he was hospitalized to recuperate?

He was walking on the road when a quarrel was heard not far away. Yang Longfei simply took a step and walked in the direction where the noise came from, and when he looked closely, it turned out that it was the newly arrived political commissar Liu Ping who was arguing with Ding Baosheng, a scout at the regiment headquarters. When I asked before, I found out that it was Ding Baosheng who was ordered to infiltrate outside the base area to reconnoiter the enemy situation of the devils, but he did not notify the political commissar before leaving, and as a result, he was hit by the other party on the way back to the regiment headquarters after completing the task. After asking the reason, the two quarreled. Liu Ping is an anxious person, and he didn't come up with a reason after fighting for a long time, if Yang Longfei hadn't happened to arrive, he would have been ready to beat people.

Ding Baosheng saw Yang Longfei as if he had seen a savior, and said all of them: "Regiment commander, you came just in time, you give me a comment, reconnaissance of the enemy situation is the old rule of our independent regiment, and more than 100 soldiers of the reconnaissance company are changing to carry out tasks, this is also what you said, this will not change, right?" We can't just because the new political commissar is here, so we won't do this reconnaissance, right? I also followed your instructions to complete the task, why did I leave my post without permission if I put it here with our political commissar? I don't wear this hat, Commander, you have to call the shots for me......"

Yang Longfei stretched out his palm to signal him to say a few words, but he scolded angrily in his heart: Damn, why is this little rabbit cub so real? Just left Lao Tzu in front of the new political commissar? This kid is easy to be a traitor......

Liu Ping saw that the initiator was silent, so he simply turned the spearhead and asked, "Commander Yang, since you gave the reconnaissance order, why didn't you notify me?" I, Liu Ping, am also a member of the Independent Regiment, and I am the political commissar here, although I don't have any work experience, you don't need to take me so seriously, right? Yes, according to the order of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it is not a violation of discipline for the routine reconnaissance missions of the grassroots units, but you can't be too hasty, right? Our independent regiment is not a den of bandits, there is neither a hill nor a place for you to sing monotonous songs, why should you order them not to report to the political commissar before carrying out reconnaissance missions? ”

Yang Longfei held back the fire in his heart as much as possible, and smirked: "I'm sorry Political Commissar Liu, I'm really embarrassed." I would like to explain to you that the routine reconnaissance mission of the Independent Regiment has been going on for some time, and this is still the rule that was set before the transfer of the former Political Commissar Xiao. At that time, the soldiers were indeed required to report at both ends, and the regiment commander and political commissar had to make sure that they knew what to do before they could go out of the village to carry out their tasks. Political Commissar Xiao is a person who wants to save trouble, he is troublesome, this is not good, he said it himself when he was there, don't report to him in the future, just know about it! The rules that have just been changed, you just came, and you haven't had time to change them back. Rest assured, this will never happen again. ”

In Liu Ping's view, the other party's explanation is really a bit absurd. According to his previous conversation with the former political commissar Xiao Zhiyuan, it can be judged that the other party is by no means an irresponsible person, even a person like himself who is very arrogant and heartless on weekdays will regard it as a big task, and has always been known for his rigorous style, and even how can Xiao political commissar who makes some fuss shirk to the outside world? This is obviously impossible. is this possibility, most of them are forced by the partner in front of them. And now? After the former political commissar was transferred from the Independent Regiment, the human certificate was gone, and Yang Longfei simply put all the responsibility on the former political commissar, and he was clean, which was really cheeky.

"Well, Captain Yang, since you have said so, I have nothing to say. I hope that from today onwards, I will not only be the nominal political commissar of the Independent League, but also a party member cadre who can truly understand the internal situation in the League. I don't want to be a hollow character in the eyes of outsiders, and that's not why I came to the Independent Regiment. The relevant regulations of the regiment should also be appropriately amended, and I will take the time to discuss this issue with you separately, and I hope you will not refuse. ”

Yang Longfei continued to laugh and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as it doesn't affect the normal rest, I will wait for Political Commissar Liu at the regiment headquarters at any time......"

Ding Baosheng was very puzzled by the situation in front of him, he really couldn't figure out how the head of the regiment, such a man with a fiery personality, could be respectful to this newly arrived political commissar and nod his head? Look at this posture, don't say the atmosphere, even when you speak, you pinch your voice, and you have a smiling face, what kind of thing is this? Ding Baosheng was angry when he saw this, and muttered very uninterestingly: "Commander, this ......"

Yang Longfei persuaded impatiently: "Okay, okay, Xiaoding, don't say it." It's been a day out on a mission, so let's go back and rest. In the future, if there is a similar action, I will first go to the regiment headquarters and ask the political commissar for instructions, and the political commissar will come to me again after approving it, and if the political commissar does not agree, forget it. You have to keep this thing in mind, remember? Our independent regiment has now changed its court, the head of the regiment doesn't make a lot of noise, and the political commissar has to nod his head in everything. Well, do you understand? From today onwards, our independent regiment will be headed by the political commissar......"

"Commander......" Ding Baosheng was so embarrassed by Yang Longfei's call that his face turned red, where could he hear Yang Longfei's off-string voice, and he still didn't know what to say.

Yang Longfei was on fire, he said in his heart that this kid is really an elm pimple head, can't he hear that Lao Tzu has something to say? Why don't you live or die? He roared: "The head of the regiment is a fart, get out of Lao Tzu, and if you don't leave, Lao Tzu will beat you......"

Ding Baosheng saw that the head of the regiment was angry, and he forgot to even salute the set, and ran away without a trace in a few seconds.

"Captain Yang, you don't need to give me a weird face, this set is useless to me. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can always call the division commander or brigade commander and ask for someone to replace me. But if you just want to disgust me, then I have to advise you to use your brains less in this area, because I am the least afraid of disgusting, when the Red Army crossed the meadow, I also robbed the vultures with food, and I have long been used to it. Liu Ping said a little aggressively.

Yang Longfei gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Lao Tzu really didn't know what kind of sin he created in his last life, and he met such a political commissar as you." I now know the meaning of the phrase feng shui turns, it's a fucking nest! In the past, the whole regiment from cadres to soldiers, who dared to talk to Lao Tzu like this? Unless it's a puppy day's face is hot and underpumped. ”

"That's right, my first task in coming to the Independent Regiment is to rectify the unhealthy tendencies of the team in the past, if all the cadres and soldiers of the regiment are good children, there is no need for me to come here. Since you are here, you naturally have to make some achievements, which can play a deterrent role on the bottom, and it is good to have an explanation for the top...... Alas, Commander Yang, after I came to report to the Independent Regiment, I haven't taken a good look around here. If you don't have anything to do, take me to familiarize yourself with the situation in the village! ”

After Yang Longfei glanced at Liu Ping shamelessly, he walked forward with his hands in his pockets. Liu Ping shook his head helplessly in place, and chased after him with a wry smile......

The two walked all the way from the regimental headquarters training ground to the stable in the back mountain, where several soldiers in military uniforms were collecting forage outside the stable. Six tall horses were paced in place in one of the fences, neighing from time to time. In particular, the two rabbit-brown Mongolian horses in the middle, with a big head and short neck, wide chest and long mane, thick skin and thick hair, although they are short in size and not good-looking, but those who really understand horses can see at a glance that these two military horses are strong and fierce in their bodies, and the other four military horses are really dwarfed by comparison.

Yang Longfei cherishes these two military horses very much, this has become a piece of his heart, usually let alone bumping into them, even if he is hungry, he will feel distressed for a long time. Therefore, the food treatment of these two military horses is naturally higher than that of the other horses, and the other military horses are fed some dead forage, but these two Mongolian horses enjoy the freshest forage in this season, which is personally run to the back mountain hoe by the groom of the regiment headquarters. Don't look at the two Mongolian horses usually quiet, but this is only if no one provokes him. Once a "colleague" dares to grab their forage, these two Mongolian horses can not care about the seedlings, and they will kick and kick the other military horses indiscriminately, and they will not end the designation for half a day. The horsemen were so angry that they scolded their mothers, just giving these horses a few horses every day is enough for half a life, and if they don't make trouble, they have to be accidentally injured by these beasts.

The horsemen said in their hearts, if these two horses weren't for the heart and soul of the regiment commander, they would have been killed, and they would have been punished or confined, it would be better than losing half a life every day, right? Finally, after resting for a while, Yang Longfei and Liu Ping faintly appeared not far away, and the horsemen did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly got up and continued to work. They are still counting on the day when the head of the regiment will transfer them out of the groom class, even if they go to the kitchen to help the cook, it will be more comfortable than in this hellish place!

Yang Longfei approached the stable and whispered: "The forage for feeding the horses must be the freshest, and the daily workload of your groom class is not large, so if you can feed these horses to me, it will be considered as completing the target." Well, especially the two horses in the middle, these are Lao Tzu's treasures, don't starve them for me......"

"You can rest assured, head of the group, even if we can't eat, we won't be able to starve them......," Ge Laoliu, the leader of the groom class, replied with a smile.

"It seems that in addition to his daily work and commanding battles, Commander Yang also has a bit of a hobby, so he takes good care of these military horses." Liu Ping asked with some surprise.

Yang Longfei smiled bitterly: "No way, people are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and long-haired, and battles are not fought every day, but you have to live." Since you want to live and have no other interests, what's the point of living? As the saying goes, 'people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles', and now that the national disaster is at hand, we dare not think about dressing up, so we can only raise a few horses to pass the time. ”

"I have a question, there are six horses in this stable, why do you let the warriors give special care to the two horses in between? From the point of view of physique, the two horses in the middle really have no advantage compared to the others, what is the way here, is it convenient for Captain Yang to tell me? I happen to be studying too. ”

Yang Longfei sneered and sarcastically said: "Yo, it turns out that there are still things in this world that Political Commissar Liu doesn't know?" I have long heard that Political Commissar Liu is not a mortal, how did you say that? Oh, it's called 500 years of knowledge before and 500 years of knowledge after that. Don't you be here to be humble with me, and when I can speak vigorously for a while, you can pour cold water on me so that you can sarcastically mock me in front of the soldiers, right? ”

"What words? Who do you think of me Liu Ping? What do I have to say to you, is it necessary to go around in circles with you? What do I mean, I'm too idle to eat and be full? We haven't gotten this food for the independent group yet, have we? ”

Yang Longfei pursed his lips and nodded with a smile and said, "Well, if Political Commissar Liu says so, I will believe it." I'll just say, if the political commissars are not of good character, then we really don't have anyone who can be trusted...... Political Commissar Liu, didn't you just ask me about these two horses? To tell you the truth, these are two Mongolian horses, which were stolen from the attack on the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold in July last year. One of the captured Japanese interpreters told me that these were two Mongolian horses that had been sent to Shanxi by the Japanese Army's Manchurian Pioneer Regiment stationed in the northeast. Oh, this 'Manchurian-Mongolian Pioneer Regiment' also has a nickname, called 'Manchurian Tun Reclamation Army', I don't know if Political Commissar Liu has heard of it? ”

"I'm lonely and unheard of...... Liu Ping shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Alas, why did this Northeast Japanese reclamation army send these two Mongolian horses to Shanxi alone?" What is the background of this small Caozhuang stronghold? ”

Yang Longfei explained: "Ahem, where? This small Caozhuang stronghold is one of the Devil's traffic lines...... , what's this called? It's like the fucking big car shop, that's pretty much what it means. The captured interpreter confessed that the horse was given to Iwamatsu Yoshio, commander of the First Japanese Army in Shanxi, and two of his Japanese officers. At the beginning, it was not two horses, but three, and it was estimated that the water and soil were not adapted to the road, and the train transporting the horses died of illness before it reached Shanxi. Even when I saw these two horses, they were also listless. No, I got the mountain behind the regiment headquarters to let the grooms in the regiment eat and drink well for a few days, and then I slowly got better. Look at these two now, most of the year has passed, and they are alive and kicking, and they are like their mother......"

Liu Ping showed a long-lost smile and teased: "So you still snatched the horse from the devil commander?" Then I have to congratulate you, Captain Yang, these two horses have really become the treasures of our independent group. Good guys, the military horse in the picture of the Japanese commander fell into the hands of our regiment, which is the first time in the Eighth Route Army, and our 129th Division has been wiped out. ”

Yang Longfei said proudly: "That is, we are also a person who wants to save face, if we really change it to a horse of a Japanese adjutant, we may not really be able to look at it." We don't rob other people's, since it's the devil's commander's horse, then I'm sorry, let's not rob it, who will make your fucking official bigger? ”

"Well, did you name these two horses? Since ancient times, good horses have had names, you are like Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse, Liu Bei's Lu Horse, they are all exquisite......" Liu Ping asked.

Yang Longfei said with a wicked smile: "The name is easy to handle, I have already thought about it, the one on the left is called Okamura, and the one on the right is called Itagaki." Hehe, we really don't hesitate to use the name of the disadvantage. There's no way, if you want to fight, we can't beat others, we can only take advantage of the devil, and when we have nothing to do, we can also enjoy the taste of riding on the neck of a Japanese official, right? ”

Liu Ping was happy, and then asked: "If the horse that died of illness on the road is also there, what are you going to name it?" Why do you have to match a Yamamoto fifty-six, right? ”

"Hey, give back the fucking Yamamoto sixty-five. In the end, if the horse is to live, it must be given the name of the Japanese emperor, and it just so happens that Lao Tzu is still short of a big dung picker, so he can't be too wronged by them......" Yang Longfei said disdainfully.

Liu Ping couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and slapped his slap and laughed: "I'm really convinced, I heard that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment have work on their mouths long before I came, and two or three sentences can choke people into dumbness." I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that this is indeed the case, and the key is that you, the head of the regiment, play a leading role. You, you, you don't delay fighting and scolding, this is called a two-headed prowess! ”

Yang Longfei seemed to be very useful to this, and he also hugged his fists and saluted: "It's rare to hear a word of encouragement, Political Commissar Liu really gave me Yang Longfei face......

……

In mid-April 1942, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi suddenly ended a short period of recuperation, and almost all combat units entered a state of first-class combat readiness at the same time. The grassroots units of the Japanese army also began to rush to produce dry rations and distribute ammunition according to the base number. The senior commanders of the Chinese and Japanese sides could clearly see on the map of Shanxi, which was composed of vast plains and dense mountainous areas: the 4th, 8th, and 9th brigades of the independent mixed brigades under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army stationed in Yangquan began to move from east to west in the direction of Taiyuan; The 3rd and 14th Independent Mixed Brigades and the 5th Independent Garrison under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Army stationed in Taiyuan also approached Linfen from north to south. The 108th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Linfen was connected with the 36th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Changzhi and built a blockade line of nearly 200 kilometers. Its strategic intention was to completely separate and separate the troops of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the southeast, central and northwest of Shanxi, and then strike at these three points one by one, striving to eat all the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the main forces under its command in this battle.

Not only Shanxi, but also the entire North China Japanese army seemed to have gone crazy, and the Japanese troops in various combat areas, whether it was a brigade or a squadron, and even the Japanese puppet army guards stationed in a remote village or township to "maintain" the place, were all assembled. From districts, counties, towns and towns, to villages and farms, wherever they went, anyone who could get involved with the Eighth Route Army was wiped out. The so-called blood spattered seven steps, corpses all over the field, its tragic scene makes people unbearable to look at directly. In the blink of an eye, North China was shrouded in blood and darkness, and a cry of despair resounded through the sky, shattering the sky......

Tie Haichuan, the commander of the 89th Regiment of the National Army, held a magnifying glass and pasted it above the corner of the map, and sighed with a pale face: "Oh my God, what's going on?" The devils in the whole of North China are in motion? Looking at this posture, it is almost like a big battle. How ruthless were the Japanese, and why did they suddenly mobilize so many troops? More than 100,000 elite troops will join North China, what do they want to do? ”

Liu Binghe, chief of staff of the regiment, stood aside and said: "The intelligence department is collecting relevant information, please calm down and wait for the latest information to be sent, everything will be clear......

Tie Haichuan had a gloomy face and said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, the Japanese are making a big deal this time, just in North China, they have mobilized more than 100,000 main forces, and most of their preparation areas are also located in Shanxi, which is a matter of affecting the whole body." From what I know about Okamura Ninji, this person will never be easily nervous. If you think about it, more than 100,000 troops under the command of the enemy's North China Front Army are enough to trigger a large-scale battle in terms of troops alone, and this is not a joke. Judging from the enemy's marching posture, whether it was from Taiyuan, Yangquan, or Linfen, the Japanese army's heavy army groups were all aimed at the same direction, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the target of the public. ”

"Ignorant and ignorant, please also ask the regimental seat to make it clear, where is the center of gravity of the battle around the Japanese army this time?"

Tie Haichuan pondered for a moment and then muttered, "The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is stationed ——— Taihang Mountain. ”

Liu Binghe couldn't help but gasp: "In this way, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province is in a catastrophe this time?" ”

Tie Haichuan's expression looked a little lonely: "I think the enemy's target should not only be limited to the Eighth Route Army stationed in the northwest region of Shanxi, once the war breaks out, I am afraid that the central and southeastern regions of Jinzhong, as well as the Jizhong troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinchaji border area will not be spared." Okamura wanted to take advantage of the remnants of the 'cage tactics' of the former commander of the North China Front, Tada, to continue to carry out the encirclement and suppression campaign against the main forces of the Eighth Route Army......"

At this moment, a soldier holding a telegram stepped into the door of the war room, stood up and saluted, and reported: "Report to the regimental seat, chief of staff, the radio station of the Chongqing Military and Political Department has just sent a secret telegram to our department, this is the translated information, please take a look!" ”

Tie Haichuan took the translation and read it for a few seconds, his face, which had regained its blood, turned pale again, his lips began to tremble, and his arms began to twitch unnaturally...... He muttered to himself while handing the telegram to Chief of Staff Liu Binghe: "Brother Binghe, your and my ideas are completely consistent with what the Ministry of Military Affairs has obtained, and it seems that the primary target of the Japanese army in North China this time must be the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. According to the intelligence, the Japanese army has assembled a sufficient 50,000 troops in Shanxi Province alone, and its equipment is so well-equipped and the individual combat quality is so strong, not to mention those Eighth Route Army, which is not even equipped with guns, even if it is transferred to a few German divisions in the central sequence that year, it may not help. Okamura Ningji has made a bloody investment this time, and he has the meaning of not destroying the eight-way vow not to return. To be sure, if we put aside the hatred between us and Japan, from the perspective of strategic vision and means of warfare, Tada Jun is not a little worse than Okamura Ninji. In terms of courage alone, Okamura Ninji is much stronger than Tada......"

"Tuanza, intelligence says that the strategic deployment implemented by the enemy's North China Front Army is 'Nine-Way Siege', 'Ten Sides Attack' and 'Iron Wall Encirclement'. The first two items are completely a repetition of the old tricks, which is easy to understand, but what kind of tactics is this 'iron wall encirclement'? This is unheard of in our previous wars against Japan, could it be that it was written by Okamura Ninji again? ”

Tie Haichuan nodded with difficulty, and Nunu said: "According to my personal understanding, it probably means that a heavy army group traps the enemy in its hinterland position, and the troops on all sides carry out alternate encirclement. In short, its strategic intent will not change, that is, to encroach on the enemy's defense area little by little, and then to encircle the enemy in a small area and completely annihilate it, so as to achieve the strategic goal of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots and never causing future troubles......"

"Tuanza, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart. If the enemy achieves this strategic intention, I am afraid that the next target of the Japanese army in North China will be us...... Although we and the Eighth Route Army have different beliefs, in this national crisis, we are still fighting under the same military flag, and we still have to fight against the same enemy and face the enemy together. If the devils take this opportunity to eat the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and its main forces, our army will be completely isolated. Oh, it's not that I sympathize with the Eighth Route Army, it's just that multiple allies are better than multiple enemies, right? Tuanza, see if you send someone to send the information to the Eighth Road, even if there is no military assistance, we have done our part. It is also good for them to make some preparations as soon as possible, as long as the Eighth Route has the ability to break the enemy's blockade line, it will also be a good thing for our national army, at least the Japanese army in North China will not concentrate all its main targets on the national army in the future. What do you say? ”

"I'm afraid that it won't help after the information is delivered, because the enemy's first army stationed in Jin has already set up this encirclement, no matter whether the Eighth Route Army can get the information or not, the loss will still not be spared, in the face of the enemy's nine-way siege, the Eighth Route Army wants to rush out of the enemy's encirclement without spending a trace of vitality. In addition, the intelligence department within the Eighth Route Army is not vegetarian, I think they should have received similar news at this time, their current situation is very sinister, except for self-help, no one can help them, and if they don't make trouble, they have to get involved. Whether they can break out of the enemy's encirclement can only depend on their own creation. The only thing we can do at present is to keep our eyes open and wait and see, observe the new strategies and tactics used by the Japanese army in the battle that is about to break out, and avoid as much as possible from following in the footsteps of the Eighth Route Army in the future. ”
