At the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief was in a very good mood!

The major sweep that lasted for more than a year finally reached a turning point. After suffering for so long under the heavy Japanese troops' sweep and blockade, I finally saw hope of defeating them.

"The boss, Commander Chen of Taiyue, reported that after continuous combat, they have killed more than 12,000 Japanese and puppet troops."

"Commander Liu of Taihang reported that they used weapons and ammunition supported by the Taiyue Military Region to lure the enemy into depth, and also fought an annihilation battle between the Japanese, killing more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers and nearly 3,000 puppet troops. More than a dozen infantry artillery and mountain artillery were seized!"

"Driving away the bases in northwestern Shanxi, they also began to carry out local counterattacks. Although they fought small-scale ambush battles, they could not withstand many times. In the past month, they also killed more than a thousand Japanese devils and more than two thousand puppet troops!"

"And also took down a logistics supply base for the Japanese and seized a lot of food, medicines, weapons and ammunition that were scarce in the military region!"

The smile on the deputy commander-in-chief's face became even stronger, and he was very happy to answer: "Yes, send them a telegram, seize the opportunity, concentrate their troops and firepower to fight a few more annihilation battles, and kill more Japanese!"

"There are so many Japanese devils in North China. If we kill one, they will be less, and there will be gaps and pulls in the blockade line. Then there will be more fighter planes in front of us!"

"Especially, Taiyue Military Region told Commander Chen that while counterattacking, he would draw 10,000 people out to reinforce Taihang. Cooperate with his old superiors, he would fight me with a few annihilation battles in Taihang, and completely defeat the Japanese's advantage!"

"Yes, boss~" The Chief of Staff quickly signed the recorded telegram and handed it over to the deputy chief of staff around him to issue it.

As soon as the deputy left, the director of the Intelligence Department rushed in.

"The boss, chief of staff, and the inside of the Second World War Zone sent emergency information!"

After reading the information handed over by the Intelligence Director, the two people had an inexplicable expression on their faces.

"What is our Chief Yan doing? A main force of 20,000 people was assembled. Could it be that he also saw that the Japanese in North China were about to be rich by our Eighth Route Army, and was preparing to take the opportunity to fight Japanese and take advantage of some advantages?" The Chief of Staff analyzed with confusion.

"He doesn't have the courage!" This idea was refuted by the deputy commander-in-chief as soon as it was proposed.

"The Jinsui Army and other troops in his hands are more than 100,000, which are well-equipped and ammunition. The only thing he needs to face is a dissatisfied division. If he had the courage to counterattack, he would have fought long ago, and there was no need to wait until now!

"And even if he wants to take the opportunity to fight the Japanese, he won't just send out one army!"

"After all, there are still more than 20,000 Japanese in front of him, and they are well-equipped, ammunition sufficient, and heavy artillery and aircraft to cover!"

"The troops dispatched are fewer. If you don't move in, you can't get the advantage of the Japanese. You will be bitten by the Japanese and suffer a great loss!"

"Also, Chief of Staff, don't forget that Chief Yan and the Japanese have just reached a secret armistice agreement some time ago. I believe that he does not have the courage to violate the agreement and make the Japanese have a defeat!"

The Chief of Staff, who looked puzzled, frowned directly into the big Sichuan character after hearing these analysis.

He hesitated for a long time before asking: "What did the Jinsui Army want to do when gathering 20,000 troops at a time?"

The boss shook his head and replied: "Contact us in the inside of the Second World War Zone and find out this matter immediately!"

After the Intelligence Director left, the boss's face became gloomy little by little. He took a deep breath and replied: "I hope it's not what I imagined?"

"Where?" the chief of staff raised his eyebrows and stared at the boss and asked.

"In order to save the situation in North China, the Japanese army continued to dispatch troops from southwest Shanxi to reinforce other battlefields!"

"After the Japanese retreated from southwest Shanxi, their occupied areas would definitely not be given to us! The Jinsui Army is undoubtedly the best choice for the Japanese!"

"Once the situation is really what I guess, the situation in North China that has gradually become clearer will become complicated and even worsen again!"

"After the Jinsui Army took over the Japanese occupied areas, it will directly border our base. Do you think that Chief Yan, who has been a local emperor in Shanxi for decades, would he be willing to watch us establish a base there?"

"Definitely not. He is the commander-in-chief of the Second World War Zone. There are reasons to transfer us away and then take down the base we had worked hard to seize from the Japanese!" The Chief of Staff replied with a frown.

Then he analyzed seriously: "At that time, we will definitely divide a lot of troops and energy to deal with the Jinsui Army. In addition, the Japanese have reinforcements, and the situation on the front line that has just improved will definitely deteriorate again! What a vicious plan!"

"Boss, if things are really what you infer, then we must be prepared immediately!"

The deputy commander-in-chief replied calmly: "It's probably true. Apart from this, I can't think of any other purpose for the Jinsui Army to suddenly assemble 20,000 people!"

A day later, the information sent by the Intelligence Director directly proved the judgment of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

"Boss, this Chief Yan can really do it. I won't talk about the enemy. This time I actually put a knife in the back of our Eighth Route Army!"

"More than 20,000 elite Japanese troops entered Taiyue. The anti-sweeping situation in Taiyue Military Region will not only deteriorate, but may also be devastating to the Japanese army!"

The boss shook his head and replied: "This Chief Yan only wants to return to Shanxi and continue to be his local emperor."

"As for the plot against our Eighth Route Army, he will definitely be able to take action!"

"For him, the local emperor, the Japanese are his opponents, and so are our Eighth Route Army!"

"If I guess correctly, the ending he most wants to see is that our Eighth Route Army and the Japanese devils in North China died together."

Then he quickly turned his eyes to the map in front of him and ordered with a serious face.

"Immediately inform the Taiyue Military Region of this situation!"

"Order Taihang, Jin-Cha-Hebei, Northwest Shanxi and other bases to seize the time to launch a local counterattack. We must win more battles and kill more Japanese soldiers before the Japanese army in southwestern Shanxi joins the battle, so as to reduce our next counter-sweeping pressure!"

"Order the Taiyue Military Region to seize the time to counterattack, and then concentrate troops to deal with these more than 20,000 Japanese devils!"

"I send a telegram to Wang Ping of Taiyue Military Region, and delay the Japanese and puppet troops for half a month at all costs, creating time for counterattack for other military regions!"

"At the same time, be prepared to deal with the Jinsui Army!"

"There is only one choice to fight against the Jinsui Army without destroying the united front, and try to ensure that the base is not lost. At the same time, when dealing with the Jinsui Army, we must not fire the first shot!"

The chief of staff frowned and reminded: "Boss, your requirements are too high, right?"

"I'm going to be a match for Chief Yan even if Wang Ping has great skills!"

"I believe him!" The boss answered very affirmatively.

Then added: "It's not just me, the commander-in-chief, deputy commander and commander who are far away in Yan'an, believe in him, otherwise he wouldn't have left him in southwest Shanxi!"
