Time goes on.

The communications department of the Nationalist army soon received information from the guerrillas who had remained in the guerrilla operations at Zhongtiao Mountain.

Regarding the great victory of blowing up the three arsenals in the county town of Guizi, the guerrillas who could be contacted did not take the initiative to stand up and admit it, but they did not deny it either.

If you admit it, it is for the Nationalist army that stayed in Nakajo Mountain to continue guerrilla warfare, but did not have any achievements, and was constantly surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army, or surrendered or abandoned.

Even if you don't have a face, you can't be shameless about this.

If it is deniable, the guerrillas of the national army are even more reluctant to do it, and everyone is desperately staying in this mountainous area of Zhongtiao to continue to fight guerrillas, and the current victory and glory do not belong to our guerrillas, but to whom?

Even if we didn't do it, maybe it was done by other guerrillas.

We just don't know.

In this regard, the understanding of the top level of the national army is quite tacit, and at the anti-Japanese propaganda meeting, the high-ranking officers of the national army explained:

"The Ministry of Communications has verified that the troops that blew up the three arsenals of the Japanese army at Zhongtiao Mountain this time are the heroic combat units of our army that stayed in Zhongtiao Mountain in accordance with the strategic plan and persisted in fighting against the Japanese army in guerrilla warfare."

"It is not possible to determine which guerrilla unit it is because of the complicated environment behind enemy lines, and it is impossible to establish effective communications for the time being."

"But there is no doubt that our troops have won another great victory, compatriots, please believe that our National Revolutionary Army troops will recover the mountains and rivers and drive out the Japanese invaders sooner or later!"

Then there was a straightforward American reporter who covered the propaganda meeting, "Then may I ask this commander, when and how many troops will the Nationalist army use to launch an attack on Nakajo Mountain and retake Nakajo Mountain?" ”

“…………”

The American reporter could not be easily offended, and the officer of the national army endured depression in his heart, forced a smile, and replied: "Please rest assured, sooner or later, our National Revolutionary Army will recapture Zhongtiao Mountain." ”

"Sooner or later, how early is it?"

“…………”

"And I heard that this time the guerrillas in Nakajo Mountain blew up several major arsenals where the devils were hoarding equipment and ammunition, and the Japanese army in Nakajo Mountain is already facing the problem of ammunition scarcity.

In addition, there is news that the main force of the Japanese army, which originally launched the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, has also returned to the aid of Taiyuan City in recent days, and at this moment, only a small part of the Japanese army remained in Zhongtiao Mountain. ”

"Sir, don't you think now is the best time to launch an attack and retake Nakajo Mountain?"

The officer of the national army was asked about the inside and the outside, and he scolded this Yankee dog for meddling with rats, and he just spoke fluent Chinese, but he asked the question so sharply.

Thousands of people who came to the lecture were looking forward to the reply of the representatives of the national army.

Ahem –

"That's right, we have already reported this specific intelligence information, and the Ministry of Military Affairs is making arrangements, and if the offensive plan is determined, it will definitely send troops."

The American reporter then asked: "Although I don't understand military affairs, I still know that you Chinese have a military term called "soldiers are noble and fast."

Didn't the commander feel that this matter should be decided as soon as possible, instead of procrastinating and deliberately delaying the warplane? ”

National Army Officer: "............"

Hey, where did this bastard Yankee come from?

It's even more annoying than the flies buzzing in the pit.

In the end, under the questioning of the American reporters, the officer of the national army in charge of the propaganda meeting was quite embarrassed and had to respond hastily:

"The matter is serious, I still have to report to my superiors, as for the specific reply, everyone will wait for the notice later!"

Let's say it, hurriedly announce the end of this propaganda meeting, and flee in the wilderness.

The people were disappointed for no reason, and after leaving the scene one after another, the American reporter also turned to a remote corner and saw Shen Wenyue waiting here.

"Eld, your questioning is amazing!"

Shen Wenyue smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up to the American reporter.

Alder smiled: "Shen, the main thing is that you have good guidance, I am just a little skeptical now, whether the national military government will take this opportunity to send troops to attack Zhongtiao Mountain." ”

Shen Wenyue said helplessly: "We can't decide on this, but my task is finally completed." ”

……

After returning to the headquarters, the officers of the National Army reported to their superiors the questions asked by American reporters and the reactions of the people.

In this regard, the top level of the national army also has some headaches.

At present, the national army has taken the initiative to admit that the guerrillas of the national army were responsible for blowing up the devil's arsenal in Zhongtiaoshan County, and public opinion has pushed the national army to the cusp.

I want to use this victory to blow up the devil's arsenal to redeem the decadence of the humiliating defeat in Nakajo Mountain.

Then the follow-up series of initiatives is too important.

The front admits to the people that it was our army that blew up the devil's arsenal, and then simply acts as a turtle with a shrunken head, giving up the main force of the devil in front of him and leaving Zhongtiao Mountain, and the arsenal is bombed again, and the ammunition is insufficient.

As for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that really lies in front of us, the top level of the national army has not given much thought to it.

The thoughts of these corpse vegetarian guys are quite unanimous:

Now a large-scale offensive will definitely not work to recapture Nakajo Mountain.

The fiasco of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has taught the national army to be a man with bloody facts, and in the face of the powerful Japanese army, the morale of the national army has already dropped to the freezing point.

How ironic is this situation?

Even if the Japanese army took the initiative to withdraw from Zhongtiao Mountain, the national army, which was like a frightened bird, would not dare to recover Zhongtiao Mountain.

"Even if it is defeated, it will not be able to hold it at all."

"In case the Japanese army is angered again, and the main force of the Japanese army goes south again, it will not be us who will be happy at that time, but the Eighth Route Army!"

In the end, all parties reached an agreement.

"The fight will definitely be fought, whether it is to calm the will of the people, or to confirm the victory of Zhongtiao Mountain in blowing up the devil's arsenal this time."

"But we must pay attention to controlling the scale, and we must not really annoy the Japanese army."

"It would be good to symbolically send two troops to fight a dozen, but if we failed to take down Zhongtiao Mountain, at least we will publicize the image of our party-state soldiers fighting bravely."

......It is unrealistic to expect the national army to seize the opportunity and show the courage to attack Zhongtiao Mountain again!" ”

"Taking advantage of the fact that the devil's arsenal has been bombed and ammunition is scarce, we have temporarily reduced our forces and stopped the sweep, which is a good opportunity for our mountain company to take the opportunity to expand outward and develop guerrilla areas."

"In addition to the development of the scale and equipment of the mountain company, the more important thing is that we must establish contacts with the people in the guerrilla area of Zhongtiao Mountain, and in order to ensure a relatively stable logistical supply, we must feed so many fighters of our mountain company."

Temporary station deep in the mountains. When putting forward his views on the follow-up development direction of the Mountain Company, Han Feng said.

Zhang Min said helplessly: "The barren mountains of Zhongtiao Mountain, coupled with the current outbreak of war, all villages will be affected to some extent, and the life of the villagers is already very difficult. Counting on the villagers as our logistical support is not very realistic, and it will increase the burden on the villagers, which will not work for the time being. ”

He changed his words, "Fortunately, there are many patriots and righteous people in the enemy-occupied counties and towns who secretly support the operations of our mountain company. ”

"Especially Mr. Shen, the father of Reporter Shen, since we were in Zhongtiao Mountain, we have provided us with food and materials."

Han Feng said: "Therefore, strengthening the connection with the villages and the patriotic people in the counties and towns occupied by the enemy is one of them, and it is necessary to ensure that the secret channels for secret contact are opened and stabilized. ”

"In addition, we have to fight on two fronts, which is also the way our regiment commander has always paid attention to the enemy. On the outside line, our guerrillas are dealing with the Japanese army, and on the inside line, we must try to develop the enemy's engineering department, establish a military engineering team behind enemy lines, and an underground intelligence station inside the county town. ”

"The two-front linkage, internal and external development, with the continuous consolidation of the roots and the outward expansion of the guerrilla zone, and finally the countryside to surround the county."

"This is the direction of our mountain company in general."

Company Commander Zhang and Company Commander Du nodded frequently in agreement.

……

At the same time, in the vicinity of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army in the northwest of Shanxi, an incident occurred that the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army, and the National Army were completely unexpected.

Shortly after the national military government in the Kuomintang region announced to the outside world that it was about to send troops to Zhongtiao Mountain to regain the lost territory.

The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, under the leadership of the regiment commander Chu Yunfei, unexpectedly took the initiative to attack two Japanese-controlled towns near its base area, and eliminated the two Japanese troops in the town in one fell swoop and occupied the town.

The outbreak of this battle was like an earth-shattering shock, and all parties were shocked.

It's not a big battle, but the deep meaning contained in it makes all parties ponder.

Could it be that this was a signal that Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui army had officially declared war on the Japanese army?

The news that the 358th Regiment took the initiative to attack the Japanese army and conquered two important towns reached the headquarters of the commander of the 2nd Theater.

The officers of the Jin Sui Army's Commander's Department, who had not given orders at all, originally thought that Chief Yan would be furious.

Who would have thought that after Chief Yan, who had a shrewd face, had calculated in his heart, his eyes that were not too big would reveal unexpected joy.

"Well played!"

"This is the character of a soldier, this is the face of my Jin Sui Army!"

"Didn't the people of the world doubt the determination of my Yan to fight against Japan this time? That's my best statement. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Under Chief Yan's series of approvals, the officers of the Chief's Department were completely stunned.

Then, the Jin Sui Army took the initiative to attack the 358th Regiment, and the news of the defeat of the Japanese army was vigorously propagated, and the news was overwhelming through various newspapers, for fear that the outside world would not know that he had such a brave army under the hands of the Jin Sui Army.

As for the representatives sent by Chief Yan in front of the Japanese, it was the true inheritance of Chief Yan, and he was so bitter that he almost had a handful of snot and tears.

"I can't complain about our Chief Yan, and I can't complain about our Jin Suijun!

It is the highest order issued by the national army, saying that it is a declaration of war on your Japanese army, and it is necessary to recover Zhongtiao Mountain.

As soon as these 358 regiments were confused, they beat up your two towns. ”

"Also? It's still impossible to pay it back, aren't you forcing us to admit to the world that we have fornicated with your Japanese army? ”

"No way, really, this must not be our Chief Yan's idea!"

"Misunderstanding, great misunderstanding! Please rest assured that such a misunderstanding will definitely not happen again in the future. ”

……

As for the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army.

Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, looked at his regiment commander with a look at his expression at this moment, which was quite a "high mountain looking up."

Everything turned out to be as expected, the timing of the battle this time was just right, and the little devil had to pinch his nose and admit that he had to pinch his nose to defeat the two important towns.

There was not even a follow-up retaliation.

At this moment, he became famous in the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army......
