my bright sword career

Chapter 655 The influence is too great

Hearing Yang Aiyuan mention Gao Hongming, Yan Xishan couldn't help showing regret and displeasure on his face.

It's a pity that Gao Hongming can't use such a powerful armed force for himself. What's displeased is that he has such a powerful army, but he can't stay in Shanxi or take advantage of the weakening of the Japanese army in Shanxi to expand his territory. , Instead, he went to the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away to work for the Americans.

In Yan Xishan's eyes, such a move was no different from being dizzy.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, this Gao family boy has a very righteous idea, he won't listen to what we say.

Fortunately, their business with us is still going on normally, as long as it doesn't affect our money, let him do it.By the way, I heard that Gao's second daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby some time ago. Fifth sister, prepare a gift and send someone there tomorrow.

Now that the Gao family's son is not here, we can't let people make trouble. "

"Okay, I see." Yan Huiqing replied softly.

Seeing that Yan Huiqing agreed, Yan Xishan picked up another steamed bun, and before he could eat it, a voice came from outside the door: "Report!"

"Come in!"

Yan Xishan put down the steamed buns in his hand and looked towards the door, only to see a lieutenant colonel strode in and said loudly, "Report to Commander Yan and Commander Yang, this is the call from Officer Shi Zechang, the temporary commander of the 37th Division stationed in Quyang. "

Yan Xishan said: "Read."

“阎司令长官钧鉴，我部于10月21日发现日军36师团所属222步兵联队以及山炮第36联队已经逼近我军防线，且我军还遭到了日机的轰炸。

The Ministry of Staff believes that the Japanese army will definitely make bigger moves in the future, and now requests the chief to send additional reinforcements to resist the next large-scale Japanese attack.

Sincerely, salute.Shi Zebo, the commander of the 37th Division, was temporarily organized on October 31, 10 in the Republic of China. "

After the staff officer finished reading, he put the telegram on the dining table, saluted Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan, and then turned and left the cave.

"Look... look..."

Yan Xishan pointed to the telegram on the table and said helplessly: "The Japanese don't even let people eat a stable meal. Just watch, the follow-up troops of the 36th Division will arrive one after another."

Yang Aiyuan said worriedly: "Mr. Yan, if the 36th Division attacks Quyang with all its strength, Shi Zebo's temporary 37th Division alone will not be able to stop it. We have to send reinforcements quickly."

Yan Xishan frowned: "Send reinforcements? Which troops to send? What if the Japanese plane blows up the troops halfway?"

Yang Aiyuan stopped talking. During the first Taiyuan Defense War, many troops of the Jinsui Army were bombed by Japanese planes on the way of reinforcements and suffered heavy losses. Some troops almost ran away.

This is the disadvantage of losing air supremacy. Once encountering enemy aircraft, the ground troops will be peeled off, and more than half of them will be lost or even collapsed.

…………

"Sir, this is news from China."

When Gao Hongming and Chi Yaohui were busy preparing for the rotation, a telegram from China was sent to him.

"What, the Japanese plan to start another war, and the 36th and 37th divisions are approaching Taiyuan from both sides?"

"Impossible. In the last battle of Taiyuan, the First Army and even the North China Front Army suffered a lot of losses. It is impossible to fully recover their strength within half a year. How could it be possible to regain their combat effectiveness in just two months?
And they still have the courage to attack Taiyuan, where did they get the courage? "

Gao Hongming threw the telegram on the table with a puzzled expression on his face.

"No...they have the confidence." Chi Yaohui at the side had a different opinion.

"How to say?" Gao Hongming turned to look at him.

"Tuanza, don't you forget that the Japanese planes should have been replenished?"

"En." Gao Hongming suddenly raised his head.

"and also."

Chi Yaohui continued: "No matter how you say it, Japan is also a country with a very complete military service system, both in terms of the quality of its soldiers and the speed of replenishment of soldiers must be much higher than ours.

Although the 36th and 37th divisions were severely damaged by us in the last battle, the most basic pretensions are still there. As long as the supplementary troops are in place, they will be a fully prepared army.

Of course, it is estimated that it will be impossible to return to the previous level in a year or so, but don't forget that the first army of the little devils has a full [-] to [-] troops, as long as they draw some troops from other troops The backbone and non-commissioned officers came over, and a month or two was enough for them to recover most of their combat effectiveness.

And according to my analysis, the news of your departure from Liantai County may have been known to the Japanese as well.Without you, our Liantai militia would not be in charge of the overall situation. Who would dare to reinforce Taiyuan without authorization? This is the confidence that the Japanese dare to move around. "

Gao Hongming was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh in astonishment, "Old Chi, you are right, I was too optimistic. I thought that after the last battle, the Japanese would calm down, but I didn't expect that my departure was because the Japanese dared to retake Taiyuan Determination."

Gao Hongming didn't ask why the Japanese knew that Gao Hongming had left Shanxi.

Let's put it this way, during the entire Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese's penetration of China was pervasive.

As big as the central government, as small as the local armed forces of the people, there is no place without Japanese spies.

Although the Liantai militia also has an intelligence agency such as the Investigation Office, due to its short establishment, it can only cover Liantai County and its surrounding areas. It will take a lot of time, money and experience to spread its tentacles across the country like the military-led Zhongtong. Just went to the sea.

Moreover, it is no secret that Gao Hongming left Shanxi to serve in the Liantai militia and even the top ranks of the Jinsui Army. It is very normal for the Japanese to get this information.

Gao Hongming asked in a low voice: "Old Chi, let me analyze it. If the Japanese really launched the Taiyuan Campaign again, would the Jinsui Army be able to defend it?"

Chi Yaohui thought for a while, "The strength of the Jinsui Army today has dropped a lot compared to that in the 26th year of the Republic of China. If the First Army really goes all out to attack Taiyuan, there is a possibility that the Jinsui Army can hold it Less than [-]%."

Gao Hongming continued: "What if we dispatch planes to support them?"

"If we are willing to dispatch planes to support them, the possibility of holding it can reach [-]%."

Seeing that Gao Hongming didn't speak, Chi Yaohui thought that his parents were dissatisfied with his estimate, so he quickly explained: "Sir, [-]% is already calculated by me. After all, the Jinsui Army has just gone through a big battle, and their The strength has also dropped a lot."

"Is there any way to help them?" Gao Hongming said: "If Taiyuan falls again, the impact will be too great."
