In Chongqing, Mr. Jiang, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up from his sleep by Mr. Jingguo, who suppressed his excitement and reported in a low voice: "Father, I just received a telegram from Xie Baoqing, and he has recovered Taiyuan in the early hours of this morning. ”

Mr. Jiang, who was sleepy-eyed, sat up from the bed with a flutter, pulled the message in Mr. Jingguo's hand, looked at it carefully on the lamp, got out of bed and strode towards the door with the message pinched.

Mr. Jingguo hurriedly caught up and reminded: "Father, you are still wearing pajamas. ”

Mr. Jiang instructed without looking back, "Take my clothes to the office." ”

At the same time, Yan'an was also alarmed, and countless caves were lit up and busy.

Central Daily, Xinhua Daily, Wen Wei Po, Ta Kung Pao, Declaration, Xinmin Daily, Jiefang Daily...... They all received a telegram from the Taiyuan People's Liberation Army.

It is already this time, and some newspapers have already printed the newspapers that are ready to be published that day, and now they have to reformat and reprint them, and this explosive news must appear on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow morning.

In the headquarters of the commander of the second theater, Yan Xishan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he glared at the officers who came one after another and asked: "Xie Baoqing defeated Taiyuan, you didn't get any news in advance for such a big battle?" ”

The officers who entered the house were stunned, just now they were still guessing what happened when Yan Xishan called them over in the middle of the night, but they didn't expect it to be such an earth-shattering thunderstorm.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang looked at Yan Xishan hesitantly and said, "Can't it, Xie Baoqing only has how many soldiers and horses, can he take Taiyuan?" Isn't Gangcun Ningci in Taiyuan? With his little soldiers and horses, how could he defeat Taiyuan? ”

Yan Xishan slammed the table, stared at the beads and shouted: "But he just beat it, just now the old man in Chongqing personally called me to verify this matter, and I still fucking knew it from his mouth." ”

Yan Xishan is the king of Shanxi, and now someone has snatched Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, back from the Japanese, and he, the king of Shanxi, still got the news from others, how can he not be like thunder.

The corners of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Yan Xishan and said in thought: "The Military Committee has always been vague about the affiliation of Xie Baoqing's troops, but since he is fighting on the territory of our Second War Zone, can we treat his army as a force in our Second War Zone?" So, isn't his defeat of Taiyuan the Taiyuan of our second theater of operations? ”

Yan Xishan raised his eyebrows and looked at Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang and asked, "You mean to integrate his troops into one of our group armies and give him a number?" ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang smiled bitterly: "This means this, but if it is only to integrate his troops into one of our group armies, I am afraid that Xie Baoqing will not accept it, unless he is appointed as the deputy commander of the group army, but this needs to be appointed by the military committee." I don't think it's as good as us giving him an independent name in the name of the Second War Zone, such as the new Second Army of the Jin Sui Army. ”

The expression on Yan Xishan's face finally softened, and he stared at Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang and said, "Isn't it too big to give him a new Second Army number for his little soldiers and horses?" ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang knew that Yan Xishan's old problem of buckling the rope was about to flare up again, and he smiled bitterly: "The commander-in-chief must not take over his troops and give him a commander because of a small loss, in fact, we still take advantage of it, and we can gain both fame and fortune, the key is that Taiyuan is ours, and you have such a force in your hand that can fight, and you can win more benefits for us at a critical time." ”

Yan Xishan finally nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that this is the truth, Brother Shaohong, then I will leave this matter to you, no matter whether Xie Baoqing agrees or not, Taiyuan can only be ours." You can tell Xie Baoqing that the one who knows the times is Junjie. ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang smiled bitterly, if I really said this to Xie Baoqing, I'm afraid this matter will be really difficult to handle.

I heard that kid is a violent temper, and he likes to pump people with big soles the most, and he can put you in a dog cage even for a character like Seiichi Kita, not to mention the second bombing of Peach Blossom Island, and it will definitely not work to deal with him with strong means.

Deputy Commander Huang looked at Yan Xishan and nodded: "Then I'll set off immediately." ”

Yan Xishan glanced at the several generals in the room and said to Yang Aiyuan, "Xingru, you go with Shaohong." ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang instantly had a black line, and hurriedly waved his hand at Yan Xishan: "Don't, if Brother Xingru goes with me, it will be successful, if not, we will have no room to turn around." ”

Yang Aiyuan, the commander of the Sixth Group Army of the Second Theater, if he goes to Taiyuan with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang, then he must be accompanied by thousands of troops and horses, and at that time it will not be a matter of good talk and discussion.

Yang Aiyuan coughed lightly, looked at Yan Xishan and said, "Commander-in-chief, I also think that it is a little inappropriate for me to go with the deputy commander-in-chief, and it will also slow down the deputy commander-in-chief's trip." It is better to go first than the deputy commander-in-chief, and our department can dispatch in the direction of Linfen. ”

It is also sad to say that Yan Xishan, the king of Shanxi, suffered defeats in Shanxi, and even the commander's headquarters was forced to retreat across the Yellow River and stationed in Qiulin Town, northern Shaanxi.

Even Yang Aiyuan objected, Yan Xishan pondered for a long time before nodding: "Then do it according to your wishes, Shaohong, you go to Taiyuan and take Xie Baoqing over." Xingru, you mobilize troops to take Linfen back for me, if we don't win one or two more battles, I won't have the face to go back to Shanxi. ”

Yang Aiyuan grinned bitterly, I was talking about dispatching in the direction of Linfen, not to recover Linfen.

Linfen is stationed in the Japanese army's 41st Division, which is also a well-known elite unit in the Japanese army's A troops, especially the 41st Division Headquarters Beida Battalion has been built into an iron wall, it is said that there are tunnels inside and outside, and it is not easy to recover Linfen.

However, since Yan Xishan's words had been spoken, Yang Aiyuan naturally wouldn't say anything at this time, so he had to take it first.

As for how this battle should be fought, then you have to give me some time to plan slowly, don't you?

Not to mention how Yanxi Mountain is here in Qiulin, Yan'an, which is not far from Qiulin, is also sleepless all night, and in the smoke, an order finally came out of the cave: Xu Shiyou, deputy commander of the 386 Brigade, was ordered to leave for Taiyuan immediately to discuss with Xie Baoqing, commander of the Independent Division of the People's Liberation Army, the plan to resist Japan and save the country.

Why did you send Xu Shiyou, it was the political commissar Deng of the 129th Division who replied to Yan'an in a telegram, Xu Shiyou and Xie Baoqing had a good relationship, and they could contact each other first.

Thank God for recovering Taiyuan, but he didn't know that he had stirred up this pool of muddy waters.
