Chapter 1367: Negotiating with Chief Yan (First Update!) )
The headquarters of the new regiment outside Linfen City, compared with the hazy night outside, the war room is brightly lit and very lively.
"Great victory, we have entered Taiyuan City......" Suddenly, an exclamation sounded at the door of the war room.
Dozens of generals and schools, as if they had discussed it, all looked at the door in unison.
"What do you say? Say it again? The deputy commander-in-chief stared at Commander Chen and asked with a serious expression.
"Boss, the Taiyuan Siege Headquarters telegraphed that they had entered Taiyuan City, and now they have occupied the Taiyuan Headquarters of the Japanese Army, the Military Police Headquarters, and they have also killed a lieutenant general and a major general!"
After finishing, he added: "Taiyuan City, we have taken it down!" ”
"Really took it down!"
When the good news really reached the ears of the deputy commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief, who was shrouded in a huge surprise, was still stunned for a long time before he completely digested the news and replied with a look of surprise.
"Take it down, and also killed a lieutenant general, a major general, the commander of the Taiyuan Imperial Association Army Garrison Brigade Major General and Brigade Uprising on the battlefield, with more than 2,000 people to cooperate with us to completely occupy Taiyuan City!" Commander Chen replied in the affirmative.
"Good! This Wang Ping really didn't disappoint us, one day and one night earlier than the expected time~ It's a good fight! The deputy commander-in-chief said with a face full of surprise.
The commander-in-chief was much calmer, and after a short surprise, he ordered Commander Chen.
"You immediately send a telegram to Commander Liu of the Taihang Military Region to inform you of the good news!"
"Tell him that the Japanese troops who reinforced Taiyuan City will definitely retreat immediately, and ask the Taihang Military Region to hold off these reinforcements, kill them at all costs, and at least inflict heavy losses on them!"
"All military divisions, give me a counterattack when it should be counterattacked, and give me a counterattack when it is time to recover the lost territory!"
"Don't save me weapons and ammunition, I'll replenish them as much as I use up after the battlefield is over!"
"I want to seize the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army in the entire Shanxi territory, so that they do not have the strength to launch a new Battle of Taiyuan and retake Taiyuan from us!"
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief~"
As soon as Commander Chen left, the generals and colonels from various theaters began to congratulate the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief.
The military parade a few days ago, the siege battle in front of them, from the inside to the outside, from the face to the inside, showed them the strong combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army!
It can be expected that after the good news of this great victory spreads, the Eighth Route Army's momentum at home and even at home and even internationally will soar.
Except for Chongqing, no warlord force in China dared to underestimate the Eighth Route Army.
There will even be many local forces that are disappointed in Chongqing and will directly choose to join the Eighth Route Army in the face of the powerful Eighth Route Army.
It is certain that the spring of the Eighth Route Army is coming.
Among all the generals, the two with the most complicated expressions were the lieutenant general and Chief Yan from Chongqing.
The strength of the Eighth Route Army was too strong, so strong that it could easily crush the snobbery of any warlord in any part of the country.
In the face of such a strong enemy, Chongqing must immediately adjust its strategy against the Eighth Route Army, otherwise it will definitely suffer a big loss.
Chief Yan's thoughts were even more complicated, he couldn't understand how the Japanese were so powerful in front of the Jin Sui Army, how could they become cowardly when they got to the Eighth Route Army.
Originally, I thought that the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese would fight hard for Taiyuan City, and the Jin Sui army sat on the side to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to take Taiyuan City so quickly, and it was a quick battle, not giving the Japanese a chance to fight with them at all.
In addition to being disappointed, Chief Yan began to look at Taiyuan City that the Eighth Route Army had just taken.
Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, and he is the emperor of Shanxi, so he should be the new owner of Taiyuan.
His eyes were red, but he also knew very well that Taiyuan, which the Eighth Route Army had taken at a huge cost, would never be so easy to give up to himself.
This is true even if Chongqing issues an order.
When everyone else left the war room, some people even said goodbye on the spot, anxious to go back to Zhang's superiors to report this shocking news, but Chief Yan sat in a corner of the war room and did not move.
"I don't know what your army plans to do with Taiyuan City!" Chief Yan asked directly.
The commander-in-chief knew that the meat show was coming, and replied with a smile and pretending to be confused: "Of course, we must guard it with heavy troops, and we can't let it fall into the hands of the little devils again!" ”
"As the capital of Shanxi Province, Taiyuan City has a very developed economy. If nothing else, tax revenue alone is very important to our Eighth Route Army! ”
"Sir Yan, you also know that Chongqing has not paid us the salary of the Eighth Route Army for a long time, and Taiyuan's taxes can just help us solve some of it!"
Chief Yan was not a fool, and he could immediately hear the implicit meaning of the commander-in-chief's words.
He frowned and didn't speak, but his mind was running at high speed.
He was calculating how much Taiyuan City could bring to the Jin Suijun in a year after the Jin Suijun took Taiyuan City.
After hesitating for a long time, he replied: "Our Jin Sui Army will give you the Eighth Route Army one million oceans, and you will give me Taiyuan!" ”
"No~" Before the commander-in-chief could speak, the deputy commander-in-chief on the side refused very decisively.
Then he did not hesitate to mock: "A million oceans, you should be called Hanako?" ”
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City, and there are thousands of shops alone. Our Eighth Route Army occupies Taiyuan City, not to mention too much, the commercial tax alone can collect one million oceans a year, not counting the grain tax that can be received around Taiyuan! ”
"Also, in order to take Taiyuan City, the casualties of the siege troops and reinforcements must be more than 10,000, and your one million oceans are not even enough for the pension, not to mention that we used up a lot of weapons and ammunition in attacking Taiyuan City, those things were bought by the ocean, and we worked hard to take Taiyuan City, and finally made a loss-making deal, not to mention that I don't agree, so many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will not agree!"
"Two million oceans, I will give you another two million oceans of medicine, this is my bottom line!" Chief Yan gritted his teeth and replied.
Taiyuan City must be taken, huge taxes are one thing, and maintaining the orthodoxy of the Jin Sui army in Shanxi is another.
Take Taiyuan and return to Taiyuan by yourself, you can tell the people that you are still the master of Shanxi, and the Jin Suijun is still the orthodoxy of Shanxi!
This time the commander-in-chief did not directly refuse, hesitated and replied: "We need to think about it!" ”
As soon as Chief Yan left, the commander-in-chief ordered: "Send Chief Yan's conditions to Wang Ping immediately, ask him if this condition is okay, and by the way, let him estimate what is the bottom line that Yan Laoxi may accept?" ”
"Now that the initiative is in the hands of our Eighth Route Army, we must settle accounts with Yan Laoxi about how they calculated our Eighth Route Army before the Jin Sui Army!"
The Taiyuan Siege Headquarters has moved into the city at this moment, and it is in the original Japanese headquarters.
Because street fighting and large-scale battles did not break out in the city, as more and more troops entered Taiyuan City, calm soon returned to the city.
"Regiment commander, this is the final result of the special combat team members of the major warehouses of the Japanese army. The entire Taiyuan City is simply a granary, an ammunition depot, by the way, a treasury! ”
"We have surrounded the residential areas of the little devils in the city, and a special operations squadron and a battalion are searching from house to house."
"They are so rich, any ordinary Japanese expatriate has thousands of oceans hidden in his home, as well as a lot of gold and antiques!"
