Popular recommendations: Heaven punishes evil and orders the emperor to come to Hongmeng

Zhang Riming nodded heavily and said: "Yes, Chief, this is what the information shows."

Yan Laoxi does not doubt the authenticity of this information, because the intelligence department certainly does not dare to joke about this matter, and it is not a big secret. It only takes a little investigation to find out. The only difference is the time.

Sooner or later.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Yan Laoxi asked again: "How did the Japanese army react?"

Zhang Riming: "Currently, the Japanese army has not taken any action. It has only strengthened defenses at various large strongholds. It has not revealed any intention to recapture the lost strongholds. It has not even sent out scouts to collect intelligence on the Eighth Route Army."

"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"

Yan Laoxi nodded and asked, "What do you think of this?"

Fu Yisheng said: "Chief Commander, the commanding ability of the Eighth Route Army's boss is really remarkable. As far as I know, their radio stations are equipped at the brigade level. The following messages can only be transmitted by cavalry communicators.

Under such a backward communication condition, there were no mistakes in commanding such a large-scale operation.

The most important thing is that they also found the right time to fight, choosing just when the Battle of Zaoyi broke out in the south, the Japanese troops in North China were empty, and the Japanese troops in Central China were unable to escape.

It is not difficult to see that the Eighth Route Army must have made careful plans for this attack, and they have been preparing for a long time, and it is definitely not a temporary move."

Yan Laoxi: "That's not what I'm talking about."

Fu Yisheng reacted immediately and said: "Chief Commander, are you asking us if we want to send troops?"

The next moment, before Yan Laoxi could speak, Fu Yisheng asked and answered again: "At present, the Japanese army in North China is empty of troops, especially the 1st Army. They are already unable to defend themselves against the Eighth Route Army's attack.

I think this is a good time for our Jinsui Army and even the entire second theater to launch a counterattack.

I dare to conclude that this counterattack will achieve miraculous results and be a great success. Even if Taiyuan cannot be recaptured, it will definitely cause huge losses to the Japanese army and lay a solid foundation for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

Yan Laoxi also wanted to drive away the Japanese army, and even more wanted to recapture Taiyuan. That was his base camp. Taiyuan City was lost, so how could he have the nerve to call him the King of Shanxi?

However, compared to the Japanese army, what he was more afraid of now was the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly showed great combat effectiveness.

Seeing that Yan Laoxi didn't speak for a long time, a lieutenant general officer who had taken advantage of the Japanese immediately understood and said: "Chief Commander, I think the Vice President's proposal is not advisable."

There are some words that Yan Laoxi cannot say in person, so he can only say them through the mouths of his subordinates.

For example, he couldn't say passive resistance to the war, otherwise his position as the commander-in-chief of the second theater would be unstable and no one would obey him.

Why can the Chairman of the Generalissimo give orders to the three armies? At least on the surface, the command authority is unified and the military power of the whole country is firmly in his hands.

It was because of them that he showed his determination to resist Japan, otherwise no one would criticize him, let alone obey him.

Warlords in various places can usually fight civil wars and make troubles as they please, but if they choose to retreat or even surrender in the face of national justice, then they will definitely be criticized verbally and verbally by the soldiers and civilians across the country. Even his subordinates will definitely defect one after another, and in the end their status will not be guaranteed.

.

Speaking of which, many warlords were actually forced to resist the war.

But there is also no shortage of loving generals who are determined to fight the war and do so at all costs.

For example, the officers of the Sichuan Army, who have been fighting a civil war for decades, claim that the civil war is like an insect and the foreign war is like a dragon.

Among them, General Liu Xiang, the top commander of the Sichuan Army, went into battle despite being ill and vowed to use bloody battles to atone for the Sichuan Army's 20-year civil war, so as to wash away the bad reputation of the Sichuan Army as only "fighting civil war."

The war of resistance will continue until the end, that is, the enemy troops will not withdraw from the country for a day, and the Sichuan army will never return home for a day.

For this oath, millions of Bashu men rushed to the front line without hesitation and shed blood on the battlefield.

Not only General Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division, who defended Teng County and refused to retreat even if he ran out of ammunition and food, died heroically and sacrificed his life for his country.

There are even millions of Sichuan Army soldiers.

They were dispersed to the front lines and could not get the necessary supplies. In addition, their equipment was too crude and they often faced off against the elite Japanese troops. That is to say, they were the ones doing the "dirty work" at the front. Except for those who died in battle,

Apart from the famous Sichuan generals on the battlefield, those who sacrificed more were those soldiers who were unknown during their lifetimes and whose addresses and names were not even known after their death.

But for all this, the people of Sichuan did not complain at all. When the country was in trouble, everyone was responsible! While they scrimped on food and clothing, tightened their belts to support China's frontline resistance to the war, they also sent nearly 3 million of their children to the frontline of the war with tears.

It is precisely because the people of Bashu are "full of passion to kill the enemy and serve the country" and the soldiers who came out of Sichuan are determined to "not drive the Japanese invaders out of the country and vow not to return alive", so the Sichuan army can "face the battle with bravery and struggle fiercely.

The other Kuomintang troops in the country also have no shame.”

In addition, there was General Zhang Zizhong who died in the Battle of Zaoyi. He was also China's top general who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Originally he could have evacuated, but he chose to face death calmly because he wanted to use his death to awaken more Chinese people to take up arms and fight against the Japanese invaders!

Before he died, facing his subordinates' advice to retreat, he even said the words that shocked the country: "I won't leave. If Tianjin can't be defended, I'll leave; if Peiping can't be defended, I'll leave; if North China can't be defended, I'll still be there."

Let’s go, I, Zhang Zizhong, won’t leave today!”

In the 21st century, these words are still moving and infuriating, inspiring the Chinese people to wish they could go back to the Anti-Japanese War era to attack the Japanese invaders...

Of course, the patriotic generals are not just General Liu Xiang, General Wang Mingzhang and General Zhang Zizhong.

There are many, many such patriotic generals, and there are even more patriotic soldiers and people.

Whenever there is a critical moment for the survival of the nation, one after another or even countless patriots will stand up without hesitation, even if they shed the last drop of blood in their bodies, they will not complain.

It is precisely because of this that the Chinese nation has been able to survive life and death crises time and time again and still stand at the top of the world after 5,000 years.

You see, if history is compared to a card table, nations are compared to card players.

In the long river of time, the players playing cards have changed one after another, but the Chinese nation has always sat at the card table.

Occasionally late, but never absent...

I've gone astray, I've gone astray, let's get back to the main story.

Yan Laoxi was very satisfied with what this subordinate said. He cast his gaze on the man's face and asked, "Oh? How do you say that?"

Lieutenant General: "The reason is very simple. The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has yet to be verified, and we don't know the specific intentions of the Eighth Route Army. If they capture these strongholds, they will retreat directly.

If we rush to send troops, the Japanese army, which is full of anger and has nowhere to vent, will definitely use us as a punching bag. Then the Eighth Route Army will get all the benefits, and we will be the one to wipe it out. It is totally worth the loss."
