Chu Yunfei said: "Let's bet on whether the 28th Division of the Japanese Army can hold out until the 110th Division arrives." ”

Finding that Chang Kaishen had no intention of stopping, Tang Zong smiled and said, "Okay, what do you say if you lose?" ”

"If I lose, say whatever you want." Chu Yunfei said this, and then said, "But what if you lose?" ”

Tang Zong smiled and said: "I'm the same, if I lose, it's up to you, whatever you say." ”

Chu Yunfei smiled and said unexpectedly: "I don't ask for anything else, if Brother Naijian loses to me, how about lending me your diary?" ”

Tang Zong's diary is famous in the entire chamber and even the entire intelligence system.

Not only Chu Yunfei, but even Dai Li, Mao Renfeng and others also wanted to take a look.

But Tang Zong regarded his diary as a treasure, and his wife didn't show it.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Chu Yunfei mention the diary, Tang Zong's face suddenly changed, and he said, "The diary is not good, I can promise you other bets, this is not good." ”

"No, forget it." Chu Yunfei said.

While the two were talking, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

Tang Zong took the telegram from the communications staff officer, but after reading it, he was stunned.

Seeing that Tang Zong was stunned there for a long time without saying a word, Chang Kaishen asked, "Naijian, what's the matter?" ”

"Huh? Oh. Tang Zong woke up like a dream, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Principal, this is a secret telegram sent directly from the Taiyuan Station of the Military Commander, and the telegram says, that, this ......"

Tang Zong couldn't say anything because it was too shocking.

"What did the telegram say?" Chang Kaishen frowned and asked.

Tang Zong glanced at Chu Yunfei and said helplessly: "The 28th Division of the Japanese Army has just been completely annihilated!" ”

"Huh?" Chang Kaishen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and immediately shouted, "The 28th Division of the Japanese Army has been completely annihilated?" What did the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army do? ”

Chu Yunfei was also taken aback when he heard this.

He thought that the 28th Division would inevitably be wiped out in the end.

But he really didn't expect that the 28th Division would not even survive in the middle of the night.

It seems that after he left the northwest of Shanxi, the combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade has been greatly improved!

After a long time, Chang Kaishen finally came back to his senses and scolded: "Niang Xipi, how did the 386th Brigade fight this battle?" An elite division of the Japanese army said that it would be annihilated? ”

"And it is also surrounded by the heavy troops of eight divisions of the Japanese army!"

After saying this, he said: "This is simply a tiger's mouth pulling teeth!" ”

"What the headmaster said is very true." Chu Yunfei thought deeply, "This is really a tiger's mouth pulling teeth!" ”

Under the background that the Japanese army dispatched eight divisions to sweep the northwest of Shanxi, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was able to accurately seize the opportunity and concentrate superior forces to annihilate the 28th Division of the Japanese Army in a very short period of time.

"Niang Xipi, what kind of immortal battle is this?" Chang Kaishen's mood became more and more unbeautiful, and he said angrily, "And what's the matter with this old devil Okamura Ningji?" Isn't he quite capable of fighting? Why did you stop eating when you met Chen Gen? ”

Chu Yunfei said: "This may be one thing descending from one thing, Chen Gen is just finishing Ningci in Kegang Village." ”

Hearing this, Chang Kaishen's mood became worse and worse, Chen Gen was originally his subordinate.

After a long time, Chang Kaishen finally adjusted his mood, and said: "Naijian, and Yunfei, according to you, how will the situation in the northwest of Jin develop next?" Can the 386th Brigade break up the Japanese offensive? ”

"No way, absolutely impossible." Tang Zong said categorically, "How could the 386th Brigade break up the Japanese offensive? Okamura Ninji mobilized eight divisions this time. ”

"You just said that the 28th Division could not be completely annihilated." Chang Kaishen snorted dissatisfiedly, and asked Chu Yunfei again, "Yunfei, what will happen to the situation next?" ”

Chu Yunfei frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Headmaster, the students also think that if the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army wants to break up the offensive of the Japanese North China Front, it is absolutely impossible, but then again, if the Japanese army wants to occupy the northwest of Shanxi and defeat the 386th Brigade, I am afraid that it will also have to pay an extremely heavy price." ”

After a pause, Chu Yunfei said again: "And it may not be able to completely annihilate the 386th Brigade." ”

Chang Kaishen groaned: "In other words, it will be a lose-lose situation? ”

"Yes." Chu Yunfei said, "If nothing happens, there is a high probability that both will lose." ”

"Okay, okay, okay." Chang Kaishen said three good things in a row, and said, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

Chu Yunfei persuaded in a low voice: "Principal, if my speculation is correct, the main force of the North China Front Army has really been injured in the process of sweeping the 386th Brigade, and the First War Zone and the Second War Zone can actually try to launch a wave of counteroffensives, and it is still completely possible to recapture dozens of county towns." ”

"Not necessarily." Chang Kaishen shook his head and said.

"It's a good situation right now."

"It's better not to irritate the Japanese."

When Chu Yunfei heard this, he sighed lightly in his heart.

Chang Kaishen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yunfei, Ambassador Jensen is going to hold a dance party in the Fan Mansion tonight, and by the way, share the red wine he has in the cellar, why don't you go to participate?" ”

Chu Yunfei said in his heart, then I have to go away.

Didn't you catch me and come to the attendant's room to help?

But of course, this can't be said explicitly, and at the moment Chu Yunfei said: "Principal, you know, I like to be clean, and I have never liked this kind of social occasion with many people. ”

"Yes." Chang Kaishen nodded.

"It's okay not to participate in this kind of drinking party."

"Because that's all brainwashing us."

"If you participate too much, your mind will go wrong."

……

Chongqing Jiulongpo, Fan Mansion.

A dance party is being held in the lobby on the first floor of the mansion.

Accompanied by music, high-ranking generals, dignitaries and foreign gentlemen were dancing on the dance floor in the center of the hall with their arms around the waists of courtesans.

From time to time, courtesans are amused and laughed.

The entire mansion is eroded from the inside out.

It is no wonder that some people ridicule that the front line is tight, and there is a way to eat tightly.

These high-ranking generals and high-ranking officials and nobles of the party-state really didn't take the danger of the nation to heart at all, and they were still enjoying life in the bright lights and drunk dreams at this time.

In fact, the specifications of today's dance party are quite high.

Because the convener is Jensen, the ambassador of the beautiful country to China.

As we all know, in addition to foreign affairs, the envoys of almost all countries abroad actually have another indispensable and important mission, which is to promote their own values to the host country.

So Jensen will never miss any opportunity to promote the values of the beautiful country.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Nationalist Government, the envoys of the beautiful country to China have spared no effort to promote Western values and ways of life, and have borne fruitful results so far.

Almost all the dignitaries and high-ranking generals of the Nationalist Government have embraced Western values and the way of life of a beautiful country, and are proud to live the exquisite life of a beautiful country.

Even Chang Kaishen has converted to Yaya.

For example, the high-ranking officials and high-ranking generals who participated in tonight's dance and wine tasting have already imperceptibly accepted Western values and lifestyles, and have begun to take pride in drinking red wine.

Red wine is, to put it bluntly, fermented grape juice, nothing more.

In the corner of the hall, there were young senior generals such as Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Zheng Dongguo, Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian, and even Hu Zongnan, who was faintly known as the king of the northwest, was also present.

To put it bluntly, Jensen just wanted to expand his influence in the Kuomintang army in this way.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that He Jingzhi, Chen Cixiu, and Liu Zhi's generation are gradually fading out of the military circles, and the future masters of the national army must be the young people in front of them, because of this, Jensen even did not hesitate to send a special plane to bring Zheng Dongguo and a few people from Imphal to Chongqing, in order to let them participate in tonight's cocktail party.

But compared to dancing, Du Yuming is obviously more interested in military affairs.

"Hey, have you heard?" Du Yuming said, "The commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ninji, mobilized eight divisions to encircle and suppress the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"I know that." Guan Lin Zheng said, "Okamura Ningji really looks up to Chen Gen, and he actually mobilized eight divisions to deal with one brigade of his own. ”

Guan Linzheng is also a student of the first phase of Whampoa.

Du Yuming waved his hand and said: "Brother Yudong, Chen Gen's 386th Brigade is not an ordinary brigade, his 386th Brigade is said to be a brigade, but in fact there are 50,000 people, which is not much different from a group army of our national army. ”

"So what?" Guan Linzheng was obviously not very convinced by Chen Gen, and snorted coldly, "Even if it is a group army, it is not worth Okamura Ningji to use eight divisions to encircle and suppress, isn't this a cannon to fight mosquitoes?" In my opinion, Okamura Ninji has become stupid since he went to North China, and he has become unable to fight. ”

Du Yuming stopped talking, because his personality was relatively softer.

But Guan Linzheng, as the big brother, is a violent temper, and he has always spoken straightforwardly.

Like Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian, they are even younger brothers, and they don't have the right to speak.

In the end, Hu Zongnan said quietly: "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army still has some combat effectiveness. ”

Guan Linzheng snorted at this time, and didn't say anything more, he could not give other people's face, but Hu Zongnan, the king of the northwest, couldn't have face, after all, Hu Zongnan was the prince of the Huangpu family.

As he spoke, Jensen walked over with a glass of red wine.

Du Yuming and a few other generals hurriedly got up with wine glasses.

Jensen raised his glass and smiled, "Oh my God, what an honor I am to invite so many future famous generals from the national army to gather together and taste the wine." ”

Then he said, "Chase Chess." ”

"Chase it." Du Yuming and others stepped forward to clink glasses with Jensen.

Jensen took a sip of red wine and asked, "What are the future celebrities talking about?" I don't know if I'm honored to participate in this topic? ”

"Of course." Du Yuming said with a smile, "We are talking about the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army by the Japanese army." ”

"Are you talking about the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army?" Jensen asked, "I know this force. ”

After a pause, Jensen then asked, "So you are discussing, the outcome of this battle?" ”

"Yes." Du Yuming smiled and asked politely, "What do you think, Your Excellency the Ambassador?" ”

Naturally, Jensen will not easily express opinions with tendencies, after all, he is a diplomatic envoy, and the professional habit of diplomatic envoys is not to easily express opinions with obvious tendencies.

Jensen then asked rhetorically, "What is the result of your discussion?" ”

"The 386th Brigade will be defeated." Guan Linzheng said without thinking, "And the Japanese army will not have much loss." ”

"General Du, what about you?" Jensen took the initiative to ask Du Yuming, "Do you also think that the 386th Brigade will be defeated?" ”

Du Yuming said: "I think the failure of the 386th Brigade is inevitable, but it will definitely cause heavy losses to the Japanese army." ”

As he was talking, a foreign devil came over and whispered a few words in Jensen's ear, and Jensen's face immediately showed a strange look after hearing this.

"A few generals." Jensen's gaze swept over Guan Linzheng and the others, and said, "I just got an amazing news, the 28th Division of the Japanese Army that attacked the Piggy Fortress has been completely annihilated by the 386th Brigade. ”

The news of the embassy of the beautiful country is still quite well-informed, and the news was known so quickly.

Hearing this, Du Yuming and other senior generals of the party-state were stunned for a moment, there was such a thing?

Guan Linzheng even shouted loudly: "Impossible, this is impossible, I don't believe there will be such a thing!" ”

Guan Linzheng is a typical northwest man, big and loud, this howl actually overshadowed the music, frightened the courtesans and dignitaries who were hugging and dancing together in the hall stopped one after another, and cast a surprised look at this corner, saying in his heart What are these Qiu Ba stimulated? Excited like this?

Jensen apologized to the dignitaries and motioned for everyone to continue dancing.

Then he said to Du Yuming and the others: "A few generals, let's take a step to speak." ”

At that moment, Jensen took Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming, Zhang Lingfu, Hu Lian and other senior generals to the next room, and asked the secretary to find a map, a map of the mountainous area in the northwest of Shanxi.

These young generals all graduated from Whampoa and studied military affairs professionally.

And Jensen, as the ambassador of the beautiful country to China, knows a lot of inside information.

Soon, through Jensen's dictation, Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian teamed up to draw a map of the situation in the northwest of Shanxi Province on the map.

With the map, everyone had a more intuitive understanding of the battle that took place in the northwest of Shanxi, and then they were even more surprised that the 386th Brigade was able to quickly annihilate the 28th Division of the Japanese Army under the watchful eye of the eight divisions of the Japanese State.

"What kind of immortal battle is this?" Hu Zongnan said in disbelief, "It's incredible! ”

"yes, how?" Du Yuming also couldn't believe it, "How did the 386th Brigade accurately find this gap under the siege of the eight divisions of the Japanese army?" ”

"How did they organize the offensive after finding this gap?"

"You see, these two divisions of the Japanese army are obviously less than 100 miles away from killing pigs, and there is also a brigade in Taiyuan."

After saying this, Du Yuming shook his head again and said: "I don't quite understand, why did the two divisions of the Japanese army and the brigade of Taiyuan not save them when they saw death?" Or maybe they saved it, but they didn't succeed? ”

Guan Lin Zheng said: "I can't believe that the 28th Division only lasted two days!" ”

"That's what I'm confused about." Zhang Lingfu couldn't help it, and plucked up the courage to speak boldly in front of a few big brothers, "The three infantry wings of the 28th Division are from the 1st Division, the 2nd Division and the 9th Division, not to mention the first two infantry wings, the 36th Infantry Wing of the 9th Division has fought with our 74th Army in Nanjing, this infantry wing is the real elite, and their combat effectiveness is not ordinarily strong!" ”

"Our Eighteenth Army also fought against this wing on the Songhu battlefield." Hu Lian said with palpitations, "At that time, our division had just arrived at Luodian, and it happened to collide with a brigade of the 36th Infantry Wing, and in less than two hours, our division had lost half of its brothers. ”

Hu Zongnan said: "So, what happened in the pig killing?" ”

"yes, what happened to the pig's mouth?" Du Yuming said quietly.

At this time, Jensen finally expressed his opinion: "General Zhang, General Hu, do you still remember, when you were in the Songhu Battlefield and the Nanjing Battlefield, how did you lose to the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army?" ”

"How did you lose at that time?" Hu Lian said, "I can't say this well, anyway, at that time, our division had just arrived in Luodian, and before it could be launched, the Japanese army's large-caliber naval artillery bombarded us indiscriminately, followed by Japanese bombers and fighters bombing us again, and then the Japanese army continued to rush, and we collapsed." ”

"That's the problem." Jensen clapped his hands and said, "Artillery! Because the god of war - artillery! ”

Zhang Lingfu said thoughtfully: "At the beginning of Chunhua, our 51st Division was also defeated by Japanese artillery and aviation, and if it was the 36th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army alone, it would not be possible to defeat our division so quickly. ”

"So, is it because the 386th Brigade has artillery?" Guan Lin said, "But how many cannons can the 386th Brigade have?" ”

Jensen said: "The 386th Brigade had previously inflicted heavy losses on the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army, and also completely annihilated the 69th Division, I am afraid that a lot of artillery was captured, plus at least two battalions of American weapons mountain artillery were obtained from the only brigade of the Jinsui Army, so the number of artillery of the 386th Brigade may not be less than one brigade." ”

"It makes sense." Hu Zongnan said suddenly, "Otherwise, it really can't be explained." ”

Du Yuming shook his head and said: "Even if the 386th Brigade really has a brigade of artillery, it is not easy to find this gap under the protection of the eight divisions of the Japanese army, and it is not easy to give full play to the firepower of the artillery. ”

"What Chief Du said is extremely true." Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian thought so.

From this moment, Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian left an indelible deep impression on the 386th Brigade.

Hu Zongnan suddenly sneered, and said: "Even if this 386th Brigade is very capable of fighting, even if Chen Gen is really a military genius, I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape." ”
