Rong Ma career, the four seas are home.

Xie Tian has now moved his family to the family area demarcated by the Haihe River near the headquarters compound, which was originally the family area of the Austro-Hungarian Concession officials, and was naturally taken back by Xie Tian in the name of the Nationalist Government.

Xie Tian lives in a three-story European-style western-style building, adjacent to the residence assigned to Pang Yuan, which is also convenient for them to continue to discuss things after work.

It's just that Pang Yuan is still sitting in Tangshan, dealing with reconstruction and immigration, and has not returned to Tianjin for more than half a month.

When Xie Tian and Xu Shiyou went home, Tang Haoer and Lan Yufang were packing up two chickens around a wooden basin under the persimmon tree in the courtyard, and Xiao Pang Zhi was holding a broom to fight dragonflies.

Seeing Xie Tian and Xu Shiyou enter the hospital, Tang Hao'er got up in surprise and wiped his hands on his apron and said, "I'm back so early today, Brother Xu is also here, come and sit in the house, I'll make you tea." ”

Little Pang Zhi threw down the broom and threw himself into Xie Tian's arms: "Godfather, I want to fly." ”

Xie Tian laughed and picked up Pang Zhi and threw it into the sky a few times, making Pang Zhi laugh, Lan Yufang hurriedly scolded: "Don't pester your godfather when you come down, he is tired all day." ”

Xie Tian smiled and hugged Pang Zhi in the crook of his arm, kissed him hard, put it down and slapped it on the buttocks: "Go play." ”

Xiao Pang Zhi ran away and went to get a broom to fight dragonflies, Xie Tian beckoned Xu Shiyou to sit down on a chair under the persimmon tree, looked at Lan Yufang and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, Brother Dang hasn't come back for more than half a month, thank you for your hard work." ”

Lan Yufang smiled: "It's better for him to be busy, he is busy explaining that our liberated areas are getting stronger and stronger day by day, if you feel sorry for our mother, you can quickly liberate the whole country, so that he will not be busy after this effort." ”

Xu Shiyou nodded again and again with deep sympathy, looked at Xie Tian and said: "Commander-in-chief, you can't wait any longer, the Eighth Route Army has been fighting Shandong for more than two months, and it has not taken Jinan down until now, Shandong is now a little devil with many divisions, is it so difficult to solve?" I think we can send troops, I only need to take our First Army and tank division in Nakano to sweep away the little devils in Shandong, if it is smooth, I will take Henan down for you as well. ”

Xie Tian smiled and took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Xu Shiyou, the two of them lit the cigarette, Xie Tian looked at Xu Shiyou and said, "Why didn't the Eighth Route Army take the Jiaodong Peninsula for more than two months?" ”

Xu Shiyou paused for a moment, and replied with some hesitation: "It's that their combat effectiveness is not as good as ours." ”

Xie Tian shook his head and smiled: "This is just one aspect, the Eighth Route Army has Hebei, Luyu and Henan bases, Yimeng bases, Lunan bases, Jiaodong bases, and Qinghe bases in Henan, Shandong, and the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army has now been transferred to Shandong to fight the Japanese army, and now their total strength in Shandong I estimate that it will not be less than 200,000 people." More than 200,000 people, even if they are not well equipped with weapons and equipment, I think they can be competent to deal with one and a half divisions and regiments of devils. ”

Xu Shiyou knew that the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army had entered Shandong to fight, and even the 115th Division received Xu Shiyou's help when it passed through the liberated area, providing them with some food and ammunition.

Xu Shiyou looked at Xie Tian with some depression: "This is also what I don't understand, they have dragged on this battle too much." ”

At this time, Tang Hao'er came out of the house with two cups of tea and handed them to Xie Tian and Xu Shiyou, and said with a smile: "Why did you two talk about it here, and you are not afraid of leaking military secrets?" ”

Xie Tian laughed: "The military secret I care about the most now is how we plan to eat this chicken tonight." ”

Tang Hao'er sat down and then plucked the chicken feathers with Lan Yufang, and said with a smile: "Who told you that this is a chicken, this is the flying dragon that Xiao Qi beat back, the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat in the ground, this is what the dragon meat said." ”

Xu Shiyou said with a smile: "Then I have oral today, I heard that the Feilong Liao hot pot is the best, and the whole cabbage and tofu are called a fragrant when they are put inside." ”

Xie Tian looked at Xu Shiyou and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are a monk, you always think about killing, isn't it?" ”

"Get out, Lao Tzu killed few survivors."

Tang Hao'er smiled: "Then listen to the eldest brother, let's burn the hot pot tonight." ”

Xie Tian looked at Lan Yufang and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you also eat together in this courtyard at night, there are many people." ”

A giggling voice came from the door: "Godfather is talking about us." ”

Xie Tian turned around, and saw that it was Xie Niandi, Xie Xue, and Xie Shuang, and said with a smile: "Your art troupe has come back from Zhangjiakou?" ”

Xie Niandi ran over and asked one by one, and handed a cloth bag in her hand to Tang Hao'er: "Godmother, this is the wild mushroom I brought back to you from Zhangjiakou, it's delicious." ”

Since joining the army, Xie Niandi and the three girls have obviously become lively, it is said that Xie Niandi's reputation in the People's Liberation Army is not small, she is beautiful, she sings well, and she is still Xie Baoqing's goddaughter, and the suitors can almost form a regiment.

This time the courtyard was lively, Lan Yufang originally didn't plan to stay for dinner, worried about disturbing Xie Tian, but now there are more Xie Niandi and the three of them have no scruples.

Xie Tian accompanied them to talk for a while, and Tang Hao'er smiled at Xie Tian: "You and the eldest brother should go to the house and sit, and I'll call you when the meal is ready." ”

Xie Tianyi stood up with a teacup: "Okay, let's eat dinner in the courtyard, translucent." ”

Lan Yufang shouted and wanted to follow up to pester Xie Tian's Pang Zhi: "Xiaozhi, help my mother pick up all these chicken feathers, let's go back and tie a feather duster." ”

Gotcha, what a flying dragon, it's still a chicken.

Xiao Pang Zhi likes to help Lan Yufang work the most, he ran over with bright eyes to help pick up chicken feathers, and asked, "What are you doing as a feather duster?" ”

"Spanking you."

Several women (girls) looked at the little Ponji with black lines and giggled.

Entering the house, Xie Tian directly invited Xu Shiyou to enter the private operations command room next to the living room, and it was quiet as soon as the door was closed.

Why is it called a private operations command room, mainly this house is arranged like a combat command room, there is a small sand table in the middle of the room, the walls are hung with military maps of various places, and some maps are also drawn by Xie Tian with red and blue pens to draw the offensive and defensive posture, here is also used as Xie Tian's study, when he is at home, most of the time is in this room to deal with official business and receive guests, but there are only a handful of people who are lucky enough to walk into Xie Tian's room.

Interested people can analyze Xie Tian's strategic intentions from the sand table and map in Xie Tian's room, of course, not just anyone can come in.

Xu Shiyou stopped in front of Xie Tian's sand table, he stared at the Jiaodong Peninsula that he was most concerned about for a moment, looked at Xie Tian, who also stopped in front of the sand table, and said: "Baoqing, I think the Eighth Route Army is not incapable of taking down the Jiaodong Peninsula, they have concerns. ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Big brother can also see it, not only do they have concerns, Yan Xishan also doesn't want them to become bigger and stronger, so he also sent Sun Chu's Eighth Army into the Central Plains to fight, fighting devils is just one of their purposes, I think containing the Eighth Route Army is their main purpose, if the Eighth Route Army captures Jinan, Sun Chu's Eighth Army is very likely to enter the Jiaodong Peninsula directly, nominally fighting devils, but actually seizing the Jiaodong Peninsula." ”

"Damn, the enemy is now, and they're still intriguing." Xu Shiyou scolded.

Xie Tian smiled coldly: "So our Zhongye currently has two choices, one is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the other is to take the Jiaodong Peninsula with lightning speed, they are willing to tear them up and tear them apart." ”

Xie Tian looked at Xu Shiyou: "Big brother, if it's you, which one do you choose?" ”

Xu Shiyou looked at Xie Tian and said with a smile: "I am now the Central Plains Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, and I have nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army. We have already given them the opportunity to take the Jiaodong Peninsula, since they don't give their own strength, then it's no wonder that we are. Send troops to capture the Jiaodong Peninsula, aren't they still fighting with the Japanese army in Jinan, then let's leave Jinan to them, bypass Jinan and take Zibo, Weifang, and Rizhao, advance south to the Yellow River, advance east to the sea, and liberate Qingdao and Yantai. ”

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, after Chiang ordered the Yellow River to be blown up, the Yellow River was diverted to the Jialu River, the Ying River, and the Whirlpool River, and merged into the Huai River into the sea.

Xie Tian looked at Xu Shiyou and said with a smile: "Big brother, you look strong, why do you have such a small appetite." This is not good, either we don't eat, or if we want to eat, we have to eat. ”

Xu Shiyou was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Tian excitedly and asked, "Baoqing, what do you mean......?"

Xie Tian smiled: "North of the Yellow River, Lao Tzu wants it." ”

Xu Shiyou grinned and laughed: "Actually, I thought the same way, but I didn't dare to say it." Let's follow the Jiaying concept down the river, sweep all the way to Lianyungang, half of Henan and the whole of Shandong are all ours. It doesn't matter if it's the Central Army or the Eighth Route Army, it's all for Lao Tzu to roll south of the Yellow River. ”

Xu Shiyou didn't climb up the pole, he did have this idea, but in this way, he would offend the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army, especially the Eighth Route Army, and several important bases of the Eighth Route Army were all in this area.

If the People's Liberation Army (PLA) fights along the north bank of the Yellow River and occupies the north of the Yellow River, the position of the Eighth Route Army north of the Yellow River will be embarrassing.

The Japanese army has been wiped out, and the base area is still necessary?

Coexist with the liberated territories?

Even if the PLA agrees, they don't agree.

Surrounded by the liberated areas, over time, the troops in the base areas may also become the same as the 386 Brigade.

Now everyone is kind on the surface, but in fact, they have their own abacus, and they will not do loss-making transactions.

Xie Tian looked at Xu Shiyou and smiled, he had actually been holding Xu Shiyou's breath, now that the liberated areas occupy the north of the Yellow River, the strategic space for the liberated areas is enough.

But wouldn't it be better if we could take the Jiaodong Peninsula and most of Henan, with the Yellow River as the boundary, the southern route was worry-free, and the liberated areas were even more impregnable.
