Angry and angry, Terauchi Shouichi did not ignore what this telegram meant for the North China Front.

As Yoshio Shinozuka said, if the Eighth Route Army is allowed to fully master the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal, then the weapons and equipment produced by these equipment will be able to meet the operational needs of some of the Eighth Route Army!

As the biggest opponent of the North China Front, once the Eighth Route Army solves the problem of weapons and ammunition, they will continue to find trouble with the North China Front.

At that time, the public security in North China will become very chaotic, and it will be almost impossible for the imperial army to suppress the Eighth Route Army as before.

"Chief of Staff, the Front Army must unconditionally cooperate with Yoshio Shinozuka to recapture or destroy the arsenal equipment stolen by the Eighth Route Army!" Shouichi Terauchi suddenly made a decision, his tone was very resolute, and there was no slightest tone of discussion.

"Order all the aviation units attached to the front army to immediately contact Yoshio Shinozuka, and send a reconnaissance plane as soon as dawn to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the area suspected by Yoshio Shinozuka, and then dispatch bombers to cooperate with Yoshio Shinozuka's action!"

"Also, the intelligence department has also taken action, and if there is news, Yoshio Shinozuka will be notified immediately!"

"Hey, go give the order right away!" After the chief of staff finished speaking, he prepared to leave the war room.

At this time, Shouichi Terauchi spoke again.

"Wait a minute, I have to add one more telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka: Within a month, the strength of the First Army in Taiyuan must be restored, and I will prepare five thousand recruits and a batch of weapons and ammunition for him, and he will solve the rest by himself!"

"In addition, transfer all the mobile units of the First Army to the edge of the Eighth Route Army's base area, and prepare a sufficient amount of weapons and ammunition for them!"

"In the first battle of Taiyuan, although the Eighth Route Army took a lot of advantage. However, their casualties were certainly not small. At this time, it is the best time for us to launch a retaliatory sweep against the base area of the Eighth Route Army! The Eighth Route Army brought such a large number of casualties to the North China Front, and the North China Front must retaliate tenfold, or even a hundredfold! ”

"There is also the Jin Sui Army that is active in the southwest of Jin, and the imperial army will also retaliate!" The chief of staff suddenly reminded.

"After we sent troops to reinforce Taiyuan, the cunning Jin Sui army actually sent troops to intercept our reinforcements, and also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and recapture several county towns from the imperial army. I think that we have to beat the Jin Suijun well! ”

"No?" Shouichi Terauchi shook his head and replied.

"The Jin Sui Army trapped in the southwest of Jin doesn't care about him first, and the Eighth Route Army is the real opponent of the North China Front."

"Chief of Staff, you have to figure it out, the Eighth Route Army, which is now short of guns and ammunition, has exhausted the imperial army. If the Eighth Route Army is allowed to have a steady stream of weapons and ammunition, then the strength gap between them and the Imperial Army will be further narrowed, and it will definitely be more difficult for the Imperial Army to destroy them! ”

"As for the Jin Sui Army, as long as the Eighth Route Army is resolved, the attack of the two divisions of the Imperial Army can cause them great pressure!"

In Chongqing, Lao Jiang, who was in a good mood, rested very early, and he was still dreaming of killing two birds with one stone.

But it didn't take long for the sweet dreams and good moods to be interrupted by a telegram from the Eighth Route Army.

"Niang Xipi, didn't you let the Eighth Route Army take Taiyuan City? Retreating without an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs is a disobedience to the military order, and I will punish the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army! ”

The Minister of Military Affairs replied with a wry smile: "The reinforcements from the southwest direction of Jin have arrived, and if they don't retreat, the Eighth Route Army around Taiyuan will be wiped out." The telegram sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to the Nationalist Government made it very clear that the Second Theater would hold back reinforcements for one day and they would fight for one day. The second war zone did not hold back the reinforcements, and Yan Xishan can only be blamed! ”

Lao Jiang's eyes quickly shot out two rays of fine light.

continued to scold: "It is the Jin Sui Army that is holding the troops to block the Japanese reinforcements in the southwest of Shanxi, so many troops, even a brigade of Japanese people can't stop them, what else does the Nationalist Government want them to do, I want to cancel the number of these troops!" ”

"The headmaster is angry!" Dai Li suddenly stood up and reminded.

"It was not the Jin Sui Army that blocked the Japanese reinforcements in the southwest of Shanxi, but the three main divisions of the Central Army in the Second War Zone!"

"What, are they stupid, why didn't they report it to the Ministry of Military Affairs!" Old Jiang was angry, and very angry.

He didn't expect that he would calculate and calculate, and in the end he would calculate on the Central Army. In the end, he directly vented his anger on the commanders of the three main divisions of the Central Army in Dai Li's mouth, and then scolded loudly in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel.

"It's not that they don't want to report, it's that they don't dare to report!" Dai Lian replied with a wry smile.

"After Yan Xishan gave them an order, he asked them to ensure radio silence to prevent news from leaking out, otherwise military law would be involved!"

"After all, Yan Xishan is the commander of the Second World War Zone, and they can't help but listen to the orders of their direct superiors."

"Then they won't object? There are dozens of divisions in the second theater, and most of them are the Jin Sui army, so let them send troops and the Jin Sui army will not move, which is obviously unfair and is suppressing the central army. As long as they oppose it, the national government will also support them! Niang Xipi! Lao Jiang continued to scold!

He not only scolded Yan Xishan for being shameless, but also scolded the three division commanders of the Central Army for being incompetent, and the identity of the commander of the second theater pressed them so that they did not dare to speak.

Dai Li hurriedly explained: "Principal, Jin Suijun has also moved!" ”

Yan Xishan took advantage of the holes in the defensive line left by the Japanese army's troop transfer to launch a counteroffensive that night and captured several county seats. The students were sure that it would not be long before the telegram of victory from the Second War Zone would be delivered to the Ministry of Military Affairs. When the time comes, the Ministry of Military Affairs will not only not be able to dispose of the second theater, but will also reward the second theater. ”

"It's just a pity that we blocked the three main divisions of the Japanese army's returning troops, not only did they not complete the task, but also lost nearly two regiments of troops!"

"Niang Xipi, that is to say, in this layout, all the advantages are taken advantage of by Yan Xishan!" Lao Jiang's eyes widened, and he asked with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, Headmaster!" Dai Lian replied stubbornly.

At this time, Lao Jiang had a feeling of being dumb and eating Coptis chinensis, and he had the feeling of being bitter and unspeakable.

Seeing that Lao Jiang's face was getting more and more gloomy, the Minister of Military Affairs comforted him in a timely manner: "Chairman of the Committee is angry!" It's not for nothing that we have this layout. ”

"At least the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses! According to the battle report of the exposed army, the main force of their participation in the battle, plus more than 70,000 local troops, only more than 30,000 people were left when they retreated, and a total loss of 40,000 people! ”

"Even if the casualty data is watery, I deduce that the casualties of the Eighth Route Army are not less than 30,000, and they are all the main forces. Because, according to the consistent style of the Eighth Route Army, unless the main force fights out, it will definitely not let the local troops take risks! ”

It can be said that this battle is an unprecedented defeat for the Eighth Route Army. If we release this news, it will definitely be able to deal a big blow to the prestige of the Eighth Route Army and let the people know that their Eighth Route Army is not invincible in front of the Japanese! ”
