The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Starting from the Mongolian defense line.

to Operation August Storm in North China, and now to the Northern Henan Offensive jointly launched by the Eighth Route Army and Tang Keqin Group Army.

If Okamura thinks that this is all the Eighth Route Army's methods, he is totally wrong.

Current intelligence comes from the front:

"The frontline reconnaissance force detected signs of frequent activities by the Eighth Route Army aviation unit in the Jiaodong area!"

As soon as this statement came out, the Japanese headquarters completely exploded. Senior officers at all levels who participated in the meeting could not sit still. The Eighth Route Army suddenly dispatched aviation units frequently in the Jiaodong area. It is self-evident what this means.

Since the disastrous defeat in the last battle in Jiaodong, the Japanese army's international image has plummeted.

The domestic base camp has been constantly putting pressure on the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, and has repeatedly criticized Okacun for his ineffective fighting and failure to completely destroy the Eighth Route Army's Jiaodong Qiande Airport.

This puts the homeland under great threat.

The Eighth Route Army, including all the Allied forces, can use the forward airfield of the Eighth Route Army's stable Jiaodong base to carry out bombing in Xiaoli at any time.

They took the absolute initiative in air force raids.

But Okacun had no choice. The defenses built by the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong base area were amazing.

The last time we launched such a big battle in the Jiaodong area, we assembled such a large force and launched a three-pronged offensive that ended in a disastrous defeat.

He was beaten to pieces in his first battle after taking office.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force has been severely damaged and has not fully recovered yet. How can it still have the courage and confidence to launch an offensive against the Jiaodong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army again?

For this reason, Japan's domestic base camp, while scolding Okamura for his incompetence, had no choice but to passively strengthen the air defense forces along the mainland.

When some fighter groups belonging to the Eighth Route Army roared past the coastal areas of the mainland.

For small days, it is almost as scary as tsunamis and earthquakes.

All the pressure and condemnation fell on Okamura.

The old Japanese soldier Okamura who was sitting at the headquarters was furious.

First is this number one battle plan.

Then to the offensive in northern Henan.

Then there is the aviation force of the Jiaodong area...

Looking at the areas where the Eighth Route Army launched offensives marked on the map in front of him, and hearing the news that the war situation of all parties was in anxiety, Okamura was confused for a while.

He is completely confused now.

The Eighth Route Army is causing such a big battle and launching offensives in so many places. What on earth are they going to do?

Is it all for the eventual big counteroffensive in the south?

After all, Okamura couldn't figure it out. To this day, in the face of the offensive jointly launched by the Eighth Route Army and even the joint Chiang Kai-shek Army, the Japanese army, which was rampant and arrogant at the time, can only passively accept the attack.

During the large-scale mopping-up operation launched against the New Fourth Army base areas in the south, Okamura made it clear: "The core base areas of the New Fourth Army must be destroyed, as well as some forward airports that the New Fourth Army may secretly build."

Exiting the airport in front of Jiaodong is enough to give Okamura a headache.

He did not want an airport like Jiaodong Airport or Quzhou Airport to appear on the territory of the New Fourth Army, which could serve as a springboard for Chinese and allied forces to bomb his homeland.

……

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

With the success stories coming one after another, and with the assistance of the multi-party mechanized rapid response force specially created by the Eighth Route Army, Operation August Storm in North China went very smoothly.

Under the constraints of many parties, the Japanese army was extremely busy. The elite Kwantung Army who went south for reinforcements were also forced to serve as traffic police.

The number one combat plan continues to advance steadily, and the major base areas in the rear are basically connected.

There is only one thing.

During the military meeting at the command headquarters, the deputy chief of staff pointed out a point on the map and frowned: "When the Japs assembled elite members of the so-called Jihad Army to sneak attack Yan'an and Xi'an, the Jinsui Army chose to retreat in order to protect themselves. They gave up. Basically all the land is taken over by us.

Only here, in the Nanfeng County area, is a Jinsui Army stationed. This Jinsui Army has some backbone. The elite troops that faced the Japanese still fought to the death and held the line of defense.

The commander who led the team seemed to have a very good strategic vision. Being stuck on this traffic thoroughfare, it completely blocked our throat.

At present, it is okay to say that we are friendly forces with the Jinsui Army. At most, it is a bit inconvenient and we often need to take advantage of the road.

Once the situation of the subsequent battle changes, the Jinsui Army can completely rely on this force stuck in our throat to unite with the main force in the rear, cooperate internally and externally, and attack from both sides. We will inevitably be attacked from both sides and be passive. "

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Leader, the commander of this Jinsui army stationed in Nanfeng County is an old acquaintance of mine."

"Oh?"

"It was Chu Yunfei, the former commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. I heard that he was promoted to brigade commander because of his outstanding military exploits in recent years, and he created a special independent brigade. The size of the troops was not small, and it was larger than the ordinary national army brigade. One or two times.

In addition, the equipment level is very sophisticated, and there is even a direct artillery regiment. This team is stuck at our chokepoint and is indeed a big threat to us. "Kong Jie explained.

The problem is how to deal with this Shanxi-Sui army unit.

beat?

"We must not fight. This is a critical period in the war against Japan. The Anti-Japanese National United Front must not be destroyed, let alone our Eighth Route Army.

No matter from which angle we look at it, we cannot take the initiative to attack this Shanxi-Sui army. "

As for persuading surrender and incorporation?

Kong Jie said helplessly: "I'm afraid there is no hope. This Chu Yunfei is a very courageous guy, a pure soldier, a top student of Huangpu Military Academy. He is proud to the core! Even if you chop off his head, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it." Surrender to the enemy.

During the last military competition in Licheng, I tried to persuade Chu Yunfei in private, but he directly refused. "

Everyone was silent for a while, unable to think of any good ideas. We couldn't fight, and we couldn't recruit them, but this team was stuck in the throat of our Eighth Route Army, and it couldn't be done unless it was dealt with.

What should we do?

Until Kong Jie opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Leader, how about we try an off-board move?"

Off-board moves.

As the name suggests, it is a move that is outside the chessboard, does not follow common sense, does not follow routines, and goes outside the rules.

As soon as Kong Jie said these words, the deputy chief of staff's eyes immediately lit up: "Haha, Kong Jie, I know there must be good stuff in your gourd. Hurry up, don't show off, everyone is waiting. It’s here!”

Kong Jie responded with a smile, and then told his plan.

After the plan was finished, the conference room fell into a brief silence, and then burst into laughter.

Even the old brigade commander who attended the meeting was filled with admiration: "You're such a good Kong Jie, Huahuachangzi has really learned a lot in these years, so Chu Yunfei's making friends with you is considered a mistake!"

"I'm doing this all for his own good!" Kong Jie quickly testified to himself.

The deputy chief of staff said with a smile: "No matter if it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, no matter if it is a good move or a bad move, as long as it can achieve immediate results, it is a trick.

Don't be convinced, who else but Kong Jie can come up with these tricks? "Everyone looked around privately. The two gangsters Li Yunlong and Ding Wei didn't come, and the others were tied together for fear that they were no match for Kong Jie!

——Just do it.

The Second War Zone Commander's Department.

Commander Yan is not in a good mood lately. This little son of a bitch is hitting here and there with a hammer and a hammer. If he can't defeat the Eighth Route Army, he will go to the front battlefield to fight the National Army. Not long ago, there was a jihadist army incident. First, they launched a sneak attack on Yan'an, then turned their troops and attacked Xi'an.

Commander Yan was caught off guard. In order to preserve his strength, he had to temporarily avoid the front line and retreat. As a result, those territories were directly occupied by the Eighth Route Army after the Eighth Route Army repelled the Japanese army.

The Eighth Route Army is now gaining momentum, and any kid who sees it has to take a detour.

Commander Yan knew that he couldn't afford to offend him.

But these Eighth Route Army went too far, and even pushed the defense line from northern Shaanxi to the south, all the way to the outskirts of Xi'an.

His territory has almost changed from a high-ranking official to a county magistrate. Who can he ask to reason with?

It's really depressing. I'm almost depressed.

Just when I was worried, news suddenly came, "Sir, there was a telegram from the Eighth Route Command, saying that not long ago they had successfully repelled the Japanese army and recovered the Hedong area. Taking into account our army's geographical advantages, they said they wanted to conquer the Hedong area. The heavy responsibility of defense is left to our Jinsui Army."

"what?"

Commander Yan blurted out his surprise, and he wondered if he had heard wrongly.

The Hedong area is such an important territory. The Eighth Route Army finally took it back from the Japs and they want to give it to themselves?

The nature of a businessman made him alert for a moment. There is no free lunch in this world, and Eighth Route Army must be asking for something so generous.

But the temptation in the Hedong area was too great. Commander Yan immediately contacted the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to inquire about the specific situation.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters gave only one reply, which roughly means: "The Japanese army is currently carrying out a large-scale mopping up of our New Fourth Army troops in the south. In North China, the Japanese Kwantung Army and the dispatched troops are launching an offensive.

Our Eighth Route Army is under great pressure now!

The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, and our troops are simply not enough. Even if we capture the Hedong area, we probably won't be able to hold it, and we can't just leave it to the little devils. Since they are all friendly forces, I'll give them to your Jinsui Army.

As for the requirements, they are a bit small.

On the eastern Mongolian defense line, the Japs are eyeing them, and the defensive pressure is very high. Chief Yan is a famous anti-Japanese general who understands the righteousness well and cannot sit idly by.

For example, send one or two troops over for reinforcements, such as sending additional Jinsui Army troops from Nanfeng County and assigning them to Commander Fu.

That must be the best!

After all, the 35th Route Army is also a team of the national army!

And to show sincerity, hey, I heard that your Jinsui Army is relatively scarce in equipment recently, and our Eighth Route Army can sell some equipment and weapons to you at low prices, as if it is to support the Jinsui Army in resisting Japan! "

Lao Yan: "..."

"Sir, Chu Yunfei's troops are stuck here in Nanfeng County, which is a strategic location and plays an extremely important role in curbing the development of the Eighth Route Army base area.

This army cannot be moved lightly!

Once evacuated, who can restrict the development of the Eighth Route Army in this area? "

The chief of staff on the side quickly reminded that the Eighth Route Army's request seemed very small, but in fact it was quite excessive. This was to completely remove the Jinsui Army's last means of containing the Eighth Route Army.

"Furthermore, the 35th Route Army and the Eighth Route Army are flirting with each other. In fact, we already know what the situation is. The principal is also furious about this. If Chu Yunfei's team is sent over, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog. There will be no return. Got it!"

"Sir!"

"Okay, shouldn't I consider this?" Lao Yan interrupted the chief of staff and said seriously: "You have to know that for a person and an army, in essence, they are all the same.

Existence is everything, everything is for existence.

The same is true for people. Only by living and existing can he have meaning. "

Lao Yan didn't say the rest.

He couldn't drive away this Japs, neither could the Eighth Route Army, and the Central Army couldn't even count on them.

When the Japanese are strong, they will fight against the Japanese; when the Eighth Route Army is strong, they will fight against the Eighth Route Army.

As long as he, Lao Yan, is still there, it is worth doing. If I, Lao Yan, are gone, then there will be nothing!

"Exchanging his small Chu Yunfei for the huge Hedong territory, isn't this a good deal?"

"Eh-" The chief of staff on the side sighed and said no more.

Everything was done quickly.

Eighth Route Army Special Experimental Zone Headquarters.

Kong Jie brought great good news to Li Yunlong when he returned from the former enemy headquarters.

"Old Li, get ready, let's go to Commander Fu's headquarters!"

"What are you doing?" Li Yunlong looked confused.

"You'll know when we get there, it's a great thing!" Kong Jie said pretending to be mysterious.

The two of them got in the car and quickly set off according to the stable transportation line that now leads to the Mengxi area. In the evening, they arrived at the place.

Commander Fu entertained the guests warmly and brought out good wine and food.

By the morning of the next day, Commander Fu, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong were studying the battle situation in eastern Mongolia based on the staff map, when the news came:

"Commander, the people are here!"

Now that the 35th Route Army has been integrated, the soldiers below call Commander Fu no longer the commander-in-chief, but the commander.

Commander Fu said with a smile: "Then let people come in!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, a soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes, an upright appearance, a neat military uniform, and the rank of major general walked into the headquarters with his head held high.

"Hello, sir, Chu Yunfei, commander of the independent brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army stationed in Nanfeng County, is reporting to you!"

"Yunfei, there's no need to be polite between you and me. Although you graduated from Huangpu Military Academy and I graduated from Baoding Military Academy, which is not the same school, in the final analysis, we are from the same school. You can't even call me senior. Why?" Commander Fu's words were friendly.

Chu Yunfei also followed the advice and immediately changed his title: "Senior!"

"Sit down, since Chief Yan sent you here, when you come to my place, it will be like coming to your own home!"

Commander Fu greeted, but at this moment, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were still in front of the command map, with their backs to Chu Yunfei, so Chu Yunfei did not recognize them for the time being.

Until Chu Yunfei and Fu Zuoyi finished their greetings.

Li Yunlong then turned around, showed a big face, and said cheerfully: "Haha, Brother Yunfei, you are fine!"

Chu Yunfei: "………………"
