Chapter 559 Improving the Situation in North China

"Boss...boss...good news...good news!"

The door of the deputy commander's office was pushed open, and Deputy Chief of Staff Teng strode in, holding a telegram in his hand, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

The deputy commander-in-chief who was reviewing the documents raised his head, his originally solemn face showed a surprised expression: "Old Teng, what's the matter with you, why do you look so beaming?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng was not surprised to see the expression of the Deputy Chief of Staff. Since the unfortunate death of Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo in Liao County, the originally serious Deputy Chief of Staff became more silent. I was scared in my heart.

That is to say, Deputy Chief of Staff Teng and him have known each other for many years, and the two of them are very familiar, which is why Deputy Chief of Staff Teng dared to relax in front of the deputy commander in chief.

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng slapped the telegram in his hand on the deputy commander's desk and said loudly: "Boss, just this afternoon, the flying column under the Liantai militia dispatched more than 200 bombers and fighter jets to attack the enemy in one fell swoop. The Japanese army destroyed nine airports in Shanxi in one fell swoop.

Not only that, they also destroyed all the more than 120 fighter planes that the Japanese army dispatched to fight, that is to say... From now on, the entire sky of Shanxi is ours! "

"what?"

Surprised and delighted, the deputy commander-in-chief grabbed the telegram and read it at a glance, and soon there was a burst of laughter in the office.

"Great, little devil, oh little devil, you didn't think you would have today!"

Just smiling, the deputy commander-in-chief's laughter slowly stopped, and the circles of his eyes began to turn red slowly.

He slowly put the telegram on the table, and murmured with some sobs: "Old Zuo, did you see that all the Japanese planes in Shanxi were destroyed by us, now we don't have to worry about the Japanese planes anymore." gone."

Seeing the deputy commander-in-chief who was crying with joy, Deputy Chief of Staff Teng was also silent. He understood the relationship between the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff. The two have lived and died together for so many years. If anyone in the Eighth Route Army is the most saddened by the sacrifice of being the deputy chief of staff, it is definitely the deputy commander in chief.

He patted the deputy commander-in-chief's arm and comforted him: "Boss, the deceased is dead. The left deputy chief of staff died for the cause of China's national liberation. He died with honor. Those of us who are still alive must inherit his legacy Continue to fight, this is the best consolation for him."

The deputy commander-in-chief sighed softly: "Old Teng, why don't I know this truth? I'm sad that Lao Zuo couldn't wait for the good news. But the old saying is good, a good meal is never too late, since the little devil is gone. Air supremacy, I want to see how Neiji Okamura continues his sweep!"

At the end, the deputy commander's face was already full of murderous intent.

"Ok!"

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng also nodded in agreement.

Since the Japanese invaded China, the reason why the Japanese army has been able to take over half of China in just a few years is because of its machine guns and strong industrial strength, and air power is the most important thing.

Take this big raid as an example, as long as the large troops of the Eighth Route Army come into contact with the Japanese army, the Japanese army will quickly notify their army aviation by radio, and then the army aviation will quickly send fighter planes to fly over the target to drop bombs and straf.

While this move killed a large number of targets, it could also greatly delay the Eighth Route Army's ability to act and buy time for their ground troops to arrive.

Not only that, but the Japanese also pay special attention to aerial reconnaissance. There are many reconnaissance planes flying around in the sky every day. As long as the large troops of the Eighth Route Army move, they will be noticed by the Japanese. This is also an important reason why the Eighth Route Army has to be broken into pieces reason.

Now it's all right, the Japanese air power in Shanxi was defeated by Gao Hongming, the Eighth Route Army no longer has to worry about threats from the sky, and many operations that were originally inconvenient can be carried out openly.

Thinking of this, the deputy commander suddenly asked: "Where is the 115th Division?"

"We received a telegram half an hour ago that the 115th Division is less than [-] kilometers away from Ping'an County, and it is expected to join forces with the Liantai militia in a few hours."

"it is good!"

The deputy commander slapped the table, "As soon as the 115th Division arrived, the shortage of our coalition forces has been initially alleviated. Next, we must not only stabilize Ping'an County, but even advance the front to Jinzhong!"

"Advancing to Jinzhong is..."

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng half-spoken, blurted out: "Boss, what do you think about Taiyuan?"

"Isn't it possible?"

The deputy commander's face was filled with a rare fiery expression, "Old Teng, do you know how many defensive troops are in Taiyuan City now?"

"The Tenth Brigade of Independent Infantry!" When the deputy commander stretched out an index finger and said this sentence, there was a chill between his teeth.

"In the past we were short of ammunition and artillery, but now what else do we lack?
We have airplanes, heavy artillery, and ammunition so abundant that every soldier can't hold it. Since we have this condition, why don't we allow us to think about Taiyuan City? "

"This……"

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng froze for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Boss, that's what you said, but don't forget that Neiji Okamura has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he can deploy troops to reinforce Taiyuan at any time. Once a stalemate is formed and we fight alone, we may have to pay for all the wealth we have managed to save over the years."

"Who said we were fighting alone?"

The deputy commander smiled slyly: "I dare not tell others, but there is one person who is definitely more anxious than us."

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng is such a smart person, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he blurted out: "You mean Yan Xishan?"

"Yes!"

The deputy commander laughed.

"Taiyuan has been lost for four years, and Yan Xishan has waited hard for four years. You must know that Taiyuan is his old lair. If it were you, if you knew that there was such an opportunity to regain Taiyuan, would you participate?"

"Absolutely... and he is more active than anyone else." Deputy Chief of Staff Teng blurted out immediately, "If we really have a chance to win Taiyuan, he is probably the most anxious person, right?"

The deputy commander-in-chief laughed, "Taiyuan is the capital and industrial base of Shanxi, and it has a permanent population of 30. Whoever occupies it means having a huge logistics base, so Yan Xishan will never look at it anyway. It fell into our hands in Taiyuan."

"Then you still want to send troops to Taiyuan?" Deputy Chief of Staff Teng really couldn't figure it out.

The deputy commander looked into the distance and said leisurely: "Now I want to take advantage of this victory of the Liantai militia to completely disrupt the situation in Shanxi, so as to improve the situation in North China.

But there is a premise here, that is, Gao Hongming's support must be obtained. "
