my bright sword career

Chapter 566
We are all smart people. Of course, we know that the most taboo thing in marching and fighting is to command many people. In such a big battle, if there is no unified command and only rely on individual fighting, the difficulty of winning Taiyuan can be imagined. Know.

But if the Jinsui army is really going to join the joint command, the problem arises again, that is, if the Jinsui army also joins the joint command, who has the final say?
You must know that the relationship between the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army is not very good. A few years ago, Yan Xishan even issued a special order. Without the warrant of him and the commander of the war zone, the Jinsui Army is not allowed to rush to the Eighth Route Army. Violators will be severely punished.

May I ask under such circumstances, how can the deputy commander-in-chief rest assured that the Jinsui Army will also participate in the joint headquarters.

As if seeing the concerns of the deputy commander in chief, Sun Chu said bluntly: "Brother Shi Chuan, don't worry, we, Commander Yan, will not participate in the selection of the joint headquarters, and we also only send two people, what's the matter?" Let's discuss together, brother Shi Chuan, what do you think?"

The deputy commander continued to ask: "Brother Cuiya, can you tell me who these two people are?"

"If there is nothing wrong, I am one of these two people." Sun Chu smiled slightly, "As for the other person, if I expected it to be correct, it should be Officer Yang Xingru."

"It's him!"

The deputy commander-in-chief stopped talking, and lowered his head to ponder.

The Yang Xingru that Sun Chu mentioned was General Yang Aiyuan, the deputy commander of the World War II zone, and also the former commander of the Sixth Army. His qualifications were older than Sun Chu's, and he was always trusted by Yan Xishan.

"It's him!"

The deputy commander-in-chief thought for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, "If it's brother Cuiya and Chief Yang, I personally agree in principle, but I think you still need to ask Gao Hongming's opinion on this matter. Knowing that if he doesn’t nod, it’s useless for the two of us to agree.”

"It's natural." Sun Chu expressed his understanding, but his heart was a little complicated. This little brother who needed to be taken care of by himself more than two years ago has now grown to the point where he can be on an equal footing with him, and can even affect the situation in Shanxi. There is an old saying that things are unpredictable.

While the two were discussing, a staff officer walked up to Deputy Chief of Staff Teng, handed him a telegram, and whispered something in his ear, and Deputy Chief of Staff Teng's face instantly became ugly.

The careful deputy commander-in-chief immediately noticed the abnormality of Deputy Chief of Staff Teng, and asked, "Old Teng, what happened?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng sighed, and handed him the telegram: "Look, the Japanese have sent more troops to Shanxi."

The deputy commander took the telegram and looked at it, "Hey... Okamura Neiji, this old devil really thinks highly of us. He even suspended the big sweep because of us, and unexpectedly sent so many more troops over."

Sun Chu asked curiously: "Brother Shi Chuan, what happened?"

The deputy commander-in-chief pushed the telegram: "Brother Cuiya, take a look for yourself."

Sun Chu looked at it, and his face became a little ugly: "This telegram clearly states that the independent mixed second brigade stationed in Inner Mongolia, the 110th and 115th divisions stationed in Suiyuan and Chahar have also stopped. The big sweep is all heading towards Shanxi, and it won't be long before they arrive in Shanxi."

Sun Chu did not question the authenticity of this telegram. After all, this telegram could be sent to the deputy commander. Naturally, he dared to send it after many verifications and confirmed that it was correct.

The deputy commander-in-chief said quietly: "It seems that we really hurt the Japanese this time, otherwise the old fellow Neiji Okamura would not have made such a risky act."

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng also said: "This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for us. The advantage is that after Neiji Okamura transferred these troops away, our troops in Inner Mongolia, Chahar and Suiyuan have a much better life.

But the downside is that the pressure on Shanxi has become even greater. "

Sun Chu’s expression was quite ugly. Originally, Gao Hongming, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese had fought continuously for nearly a month, and Shanxi had already been thrown into chaos. With so many troops, it is absolutely impossible for the Jinsui Army to stay out of the matter now.

These are two divisions plus a mixed brigade, plus the troops of the First Army in Shanxi. Just thinking about such a large number of troops is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Sun Chu stood up immediately: "No, I have to report to Chief Yan immediately, and ask him to make preparations early!"

Not long after, Gao Hongming, Master Liu, and Political Commissar Ping in Liantai County also received this information.

Looking at this information, the three of them felt a little helpless.

Gao Hongming shook his head: "I don't understand. Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life in my hometown? Neji Okamura, an old devil, won't give up if he's not sure, right?"

Master Liu, who was frowning and looking at the map, couldn't help laughing after hearing the words: "You have the nerve to say, you can do the math yourself, how much Japanese troops have lost in your hands during this time?
The most important thing is that you also brought the Japanese and the Shanxi Army Aviation Corps into one pot, and no one would be able to give up with you! "

Gao Hongming was not happy when he heard it: "Hey, look at what you said. I stayed in my hometown and didn't provoke anyone.

If Okamura Neiji hadn't sent the 108th Division and the [-]th Division to run over aggressively, posing as if they were going to destroy Rentai County, I wouldn't have made such a fuss. Why did I co-author it in the end? That's wrong! "

Mr. Liu and Political Commissar Heping couldn't help laughing out loud, and after laughing, Political Commissar Ping couldn't help but said: "In my opinion, Neiji Okamura is probably riding a tiger right now."

"Oh...how do you say that?"

"Look at it."

Political Commissar Ping first took out a good luck cigarette, gave one to each of them, then lit the cigarette himself, and said slowly, "Look, why did Ningji Okamura send two divisions to attack Rentai in the first place?" County, is it because he has too many troops and nowhere to put them?

Of course not, the reason why he did this was actually because he was too jealous of Commander Gao and your Liantai militia, especially the air force in your hands, which can be said to be the largest and most elite in the country.

Think about it, the sweeping and cage policy initiated by Neiji Okamura is aimed at trapping and exhausting our Eighth Route Army.But no matter how powerful the Japanese are, they can only block it on the ground at best.

If Gao Hongming is determined to help us, as long as he sends planes to deliver supplies, ammunition and food supplies to us from time to time, Neiji Okamura's cage policy is just a joke, so even if it is to continue the cage policy, he will You must first eliminate your Liantai militia.

It's just that what he didn't arrive first was that what he thought was a surefire attack turned out to be his Waterloo in the end, and now he was already on the back foot and had no choice but to continue fighting this battle. "
