The commander-in-chief received the telegram and read it twice before he believed the Chief of Staff’s report just now.

The shock on his face was also replaced by surprise at this moment.

As the National Salvation Army became stronger and stronger behind enemy lines and its relationship with the war zone became worse and worse, the Commander-in-Chief's concerns about the National Salvation Army were getting bigger and bigger. In order to prevent the National Salvation Army from developing into a warlord who did not obey his command, he wanted to get rid of them by the Japanese more than once, and by the way, he used the National Salvation Army to consume a large amount of Japanese and puppet troops' strength and kill two birds with one stone.

But several actions failed.

There are reasons why the National Salvation Army is particularly capable of fighting, reasons why the National Salvation Army is very cunning, and reasons why the National Salvation Army deliberately hides its strength...

In addition, the commander-in-chief also knew an unknown reason: the Eighth Route Army secretly supported the national rescue army.

Almost every time the Japanese and puppet army attacked the National Salvation Army, the Eighth Route Army would attack the Japanese and puppet army's rear openly and secretly to reduce the combat pressure of the National Salvation Army.

Although I felt that I had colluded with the Eighth Route Army without finding it, they cooperated secretly more often, and the headquarters could still find some clues from these battles.

At this time, another worry emerged from the commander-in-chief's mind.

The National Salvation Army is very strong. If the war zone pushes them into a hurry and turns around and join the National Salvation Army, it will not only seriously damage the military morale and morale of the war zone, but also increase the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

The war zone is not very much dealt with as the Eighth Route Army, and it poses a greater threat to the war zone, so we have to find ways to limit their development openly and secretly. If the National Rescue Army is forced into the Eighth Route Army, the National Rescue Army with the status of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be more threatening than the previous National Rescue Army.

In order to avoid the worst situation, the commander-in-chief had to add one of the tricks to deal with the national rescue army.

In addition to continuing to provoke a war between the National Rescue Army and the Japanese and puppet troops, allowing them to continue to fight and consume each other's strength, they also need to find ways to provoke a dispute between the National Rescue Army and the Eighth Route Army, so that they can turn against each other, and do not give the National Rescue Army the opportunity to join the Eighth Route Army, turning the National Rescue Army into a completely isolated army.

The Eighth Route Army and the National Rescue were all deep behind enemy lines, far away from the rear, and had no foreign aid. If the troops wanted to survive, they must have their own base and defense areas, otherwise they would have no food to eat.

The commander-in-chief knew this very well and hit them in their hearts as soon as he made a move.

The Eighth Route Army base area was placed into the National Rescue Military Defense Zone, and the two sides became enemies by competing for territory.

Unexpectedly, the plan was successful so soon. Now the National Salvation Army fought with the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in order to compete for Yangquan County. The conflict between the two sides has arisen, and no one wants to let each other go. It will definitely be very difficult to cooperate with each other and trust each other as before.

As for joining the Eighth Route Army, even if Zhou Cheng is willing, his troops will not be willing.

Both sides fought for the county town, and the Eighth Route Army had more or less opinions on the National Salvation Army. If the National Salvation Army turned into the Eighth Route Army, normal people would worry whether they would wear small shoes after joining the Eighth Route Army...

The commander-in-chief became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He looked at the Chief of Staff and replied with satisfaction: "Your mission was completed this time very well. I will definitely reward you when things are done!"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief..." The Chief of Staff was also very happy.

In order to be able to kill people with a knife and consume the national rescue army on the battlefield, he did not have a good rest for several nights.

After so long, I finally saw the dawn of victory that consumed the National Saving Army on the battlefield. With a good start, the Chief of Staff felt that he would definitely have a good sleep tonight.

He looked at the commander-in-chief and continued to ask: "Sir, what should we do next? Should we continue to add a few fires to this matter and further deteriorate the relationship between the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army!"

"Of course!" The commander-in-chief replied without hesitation: "I want to deteriorate the relationship between the National Rescue Army and the Eighth Route Army to an irreconcilable level, so that the National Rescue Army will never be able to join the Eighth Route Army, and will eventually be consumed by the Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the National Savior Army and send it in the name of the War Zone: Starting today, the War Zone officially includes Shouyang and Yangquan into the National Savior Army Defense Zone, and the commander of the National Savior Army, Zhou Cheng is responsible for all military and political affairs in the four counties of Shouyang, Xiyang, Pingding and Yangquan. In addition to the existing main forces of the National Savior Army, the War Zone agrees that Zhou Cheng will form a garrison brigade in each county and form a troops according to the standards of the garrison regiment. All garrison brigade captains will be awarded the rank of lieutenant colonels, and the deputy captain and battalion commander will be awarded the rank of major!"

After hearing this, the Chief of Staff understood the deep meaning of the commander-in-chief's order, and said with a compliment and emotion: "Sir, wise!"

"With this telegram, the National Salvation Army will not be able to attack Yangquan County, otherwise the Yangquan Guard Brigade they are about to set up will not even have a station, and it is just a sign..."

"Nei Shi will send a telegram to the National Salvation Army now!"

The commander-in-chief called the Chief of Staff who wanted to leave and continued to order: "Give another telegram to the Eighth Route Army, saying that their so-called Shouyang Independent Regiment and Yangquan Independent Regiment were not registered in the war zone, and could only be regarded as an anti-Japanese armed force formed by the local area. Let them evacuate Yangquan and Shouyang immediately, otherwise the war zone headquarters would ask the National Salvation Army to incorporate them all!"

"Gao!" the chief of staff exclaimed again.

"The Eighth Route Army Yangquan Independent Regiment and Shouyang Independent Regiment will evacuate Yangquan and Shouyang, and they can continue to exist. If they do not evacuate, they will be directly recruited in the name of the war zone, and the Eighth Route Army will suffer great losses."

"Not only will the base be lost, but thousands of troops will also be lost."

"With the knowledge of the Eighth Route Army in Beishi, they attach much importance to the troops than the base areas. They will definitely order them to evacuate Yangquan and Shouyang, completely cutting off the retreat of the National Salvation Army to ease relations with them!"

"The National Salvation Army then occupied the base they gave up, and the Eighth Route Army's revenge for losing two bases will definitely be recorded on the National Salvation Army, and their relationship will be even more unlikely to be reconciled."

In the Taiyuan Japanese Army Headquarters, the intelligence officer rushed into the war room with excitement.

After seeing the commander, he excitedly reported: "Sir, the National Rescue Army has fought with the Eighth Route Army."

"The fake news about our storing of a large amount of medicines and oceans in the county has not yet spread, and the National Salvation Army fought with the Eighth Route Army because of the incident in Yangquan County and even made a fire."

"In order to avoid the situation deteriorating, the Eighth Route Army voluntarily gave up its positions outside the city and retreated to the county town."

"The National Salvation Army took the opportunity to occupy the position and followed the Yangquan Independent Regiment to surround the county town. Now the two troops are fighting against Yangquan County, and no one is willing to bow to the other side!"

After hearing this, the Chief of Staff was very excited. He snatched the information from the intelligence officer in charge and reported while reading: "Sir, what he said just now is true. The Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army really started fighting for Yangquan City."

"If we leaked the fake news about the county stockpile a large amount of medicines and oceans, the hatred between the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army will definitely be deeper."

After saying that, the Chief of Staff stared at the commander, hoping that he would affirm his proposal just now.

The commander had no reason to disagree, and was very happy to order: "Yoxi, very good. Let's do what you said just now. The county leaked the fake news and further deepened their hatred."

"In addition, I will add one more thing: At dawn, the air force dispatched four planes to attack the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army that were confronting Yangquan County. It would be better to blow them up!"

In the division command center deep in the Taihang Mountains, the Chief of Staff was holding a telegram to complain to the division commander and the political commissar how unfair the war zone was.

When it comes to annoying things, I can't help but start to curse.

"Chief of Staff, don't get angry. This is not the first time you have seen our Chief Yan's method. It's no big deal!" The political commissar patted his shoulder to comfort him.

The Chief of Staff shook his head: "I know everything you said to the political commissar, but I just couldn't be angry."

"Why is the base area that our Eighth Route Army has worked hard to capture? Why does it take the war zone back in one sentence? I want to retract our troops together? This is simply delusion. We would rather give up the base than give up the troops we have worked hard to build."

"As long as the troops are still there and the base area is gone, we can continue to rob the Japanese in the hands of the Japanese!"

The division commander said, "Fortunately, the one who took over our base this time was the National Salvation Army. They were their own people, otherwise this would be troublesome."

"Chief of Staff, please send a reply to the theater immediately. The more serious the wording, the better. It means that the Yangquan Independent Regiment and the Shouyang Independent Regiment were expanded from the two main companies of our 129th Division. The two current regiment leaders have the rank of major. Although the troops have not been registered in the theater, they exist legally, and the theater has no reason to incorporate them."

"The bases established by the two independent regiments in Yangquan and Shouyang were all snatched back from the Japanese army, which was reasonable and legal, and there was no reason for the war zone to withdraw from their base!"

The Chief of Staff looked at the division commander blankly, not understanding what he meant.

The two independent regiments gave up their bases and went to the enemy-occupied areas to create a new base. Hasn't this been discussed before? Why did it suddenly change and stop leaving...

The political commissar smiled and explained: "Chief of Staff, don't be fooled by the superficial meaning of this telegram."

"We should give up the base or give up, but we must show our attitude to the war zone so that they will not use the same method to reclaim the enemy's base we have worked hard to create in the future."

"And doing this can also cooperate with Zhou Cheng's acting well."

"We are determined not to give up the base, but under the force of expulsion of the National Salvation Army, in order to avoid the two sides fighting, the Japanese have to give up the base..."

"In this way, even if we have formed a relationship with the National Salvation Army, the theater will definitely not doubt that we have a relationship with the National Salvation Army in the future. The National Salvation Army can take the opportunity to get more benefits from the theater!"

The Chief of Staff finally understood and his eyes lit up and replied: "I will call back the war zone now, indicating that we will never give up on the base.
Chapter completed!
