At the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Chief of Staff Zuo walked into the war room excitedly and said to Boss Peng: "Boss, the results of the battle have been calculated!"
"Oh?" Mr. Peng immediately put down the pencil in his hand, straightened up from the map, and asked, "Tell me quickly."
The left chief of staff unfolded the telegram, cleared his throat and read: "In this battle, there are 129 divisions, 385 brigade, 386 brigade, *** brigade, eight regiments of cavalry brigade and thirty-four regiments of Jinan Military Region, more than 100,000 people.
Participating in the war, a total of 208 strongholds along the Pinghan-Hankou Railway were destroyed, more than 4,000 Japanese troops were annihilated, and more than 50,000 puppet troops were annihilated. More than 40,000 rifles, more than 600 light and heavy machine guns, and millions of bullets and grenades were seized.
More than 50,000! Sixty-two artillery pieces of various calibers!”
"Oh my god!" Boss Peng said excitedly, "More than four thousand Japanese were annihilated!?"
"Who says it isn't?" Chief of Staff Zuo said with great excitement, "The result is no less than that of the Hundred Regiments War!"
After saying this, Chief of Staff Zuo added: "Also, the troops in the guerrilla zones in Jizhong and southern Hebei also took the opportunity to pull out many artillery towers and strongholds. Many guerrilla zones have been transformed into solid bases. In Jizhong,
The two major base areas in southern Hebei are almost connected into one whole area, and the situation is very good."
"Great." Boss Peng slammed his fist on the table and said, "Where's the 39th Group Army?"
"The 39th Group Army has also captured Shimen." Chief of Staff Zuo said, "The 112th Infantry Regiment of the 28th Division stationed at Shimen has also been wiped out. Also wiped out was a division of the puppet army Qi Xieyuan. However,
I heard that Yue Weihan encountered some unpleasantness when he entered the city. Several family members of the puppet soldiers seemed to attack him, which made him feel very bad."
"Hey, this is inevitable." Mr. Peng said calmly, "The nine sons of a dragon are all different. We have a population of 40 million in China. We can't ask everyone to be an upright hero, can we? But I believe that if I am willing,
Those who accept the enslavement rule of the Japanese must only be a small number of people, and most people are unwilling to be slaves to the subjugation of their country."
"Boss, I've thought about this too," Chief of Staff Zuo said thoughtfully, "The main reason is the lack of publicity."
"We are willing to send political cadres to help the *** army publicize anti-Japanese ideas and patriotic ideas to ordinary people, but the *** army does not appreciate it!" Mr. Peng spread his hands and said, "Oh, by the way, let Liu
Is there anything wrong with the comrades Zhao Xinyi, Li Qinglong and others detained by Yi?"
"Boss, what can happen? This is a game, a game carefully designed by Yue Weihan in order to earn money from the ***." Chief of Staff Zuo said with a smile, "Now that Shimen has been captured, the Ping-Han Railway has also been successfully attacked.
Comrade Zhao Xinyi has been reinstated, and Li Qinglong is still the brigade commander of the Tumen Fortress Security Brigade."
"Oh, then this matter is complicated." Boss Peng said, "The identities of comrades Zhao Xinyi, Li Qinglong, Ma Zhankui and others have been exposed. As a senior general of the Japanese army, Yue Weihan doesn't want to avoid suspicion.
?What will Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing think if he openly retains members of our party in important positions?"
Chief of Staff Zuo smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid only Chairman Chiang himself knows this."
…
Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
Director Dai lowered his head and reported in a low voice: "Commissioner, all the low-level positions have been investigated. Colonel Zhao Xinyi, director of the Propaganda Department directly under the 39th Group Army and chairman of the Anti-War League, is an underground member of the Communist Party of China. She was a member of the Communist Party of China in the 1920s of the Republic of China.
Joined the party in Shanghai in the sixth year (1937) before the outbreak of the Songhu Battle."
Chairman Jiang looked gloomy and said: "Yunong, did Yue Weihan know her identity before?"
"This..." Director Dai said in embarrassment, "It's not clear yet, and we are stepping up a thorough investigation."
After saying this, Director Dai added: "In addition, Colonel Ma Zhankui, director of the operations department directly under the 39th Group Army, is also an underground member of the Communist Party of China. The specific time he joined the party is unknown, but it is most likely that Zhao Xinyi joined the CCP after the 39th Group Army stationed in Jingxingguan.
, that is, a matter of half a year."
"Ma Zhankui!?" Chairman Jiang frowned, "The name sounds familiar?"
Director Dai said: "Tada Shun, the former commander of the Japanese North China Front, once sent special forces to sneak into Jingxing Pass to assassinate Yue Weihan. Ma Zhankui found out. And Li Meng, her identity was also found out by Ma Zhankui. Mao Renfeng planned it."
The assassination attempt was also sabotaged by Mazhankui."
"A capable man." Chairman Chiang sighed, "A capable man."
Director Dai added: "In addition, the identity of Li Qinglong, the brigade commander of the Tumen Fortress Guard Brigade, has also been verified. He has indeed joined the Chinese Communist Party, and almost all the middle and senior officers of the guard brigade are occupied by Chinese Communist Party members.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Tumen Fortress Security Brigade is completely an armed force of the Chinese Communist Party."
"What did you say?" Chairman Chiang's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
Li Qinglong is an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party. Chairman Chiang has long known that, but all the middle and senior officers of the Tumen Fortress Security Brigade have been occupied by the CCP. However, this is beyond Chairman Chiang's expectations.
Knowing that the Tumen Fortress Guard Brigade is like this, will the five main divisions of the 39th Group Army be like this too?
If the entire 39th Group Army became the armed forces of the Chinese Communist Party... Chairman Chiang suddenly shuddered.
After a long while, Chairman Jiang gathered his composure and asked Director Dai: "Yunong, where is Yue Weihan himself?"
"Yue Weihan himself is definitely not a member of the Communist Party of China." Director Dai replied with certainty. "After the Tumen Mutiny, even the Yan'an side of the CCP did not know that it was false. The former enemy commander of the Eighth Route Army, PDH, was completely deceived.
In the dark, only Yue Weihan's brother Yue Weiguo and a few other grassroots commanders of the Eighth Route Army knew the inside story."
"Well, let's put it this way, it is really impossible for Yue Weihan to be a member of the Chinese Communist Party." Chairman Jiang nodded, but he breathed a long sigh of relief. If Yue Weihan had really secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party, then according to the Chinese Communist Party
***The principle of commanding guns, it is impossible for the Yan'an side and the pdh to be unaware of such a major military operation.
As long as Yue Weihan has not joined the CCP, there is still room for redemption.
Director Dai said with concern: "However, although Yue Weihan has not joined the CCP, he has a very friendly attitude toward the CCP. He knows clearly that Zhao Xinyi, Ma Zhankui, Li Qinglong and others are communists, but he does not do anything about it."
Even if we take any precautionary measures, we still have a lot of trust in them."
"It doesn't matter." Chairman Chiang said calmly, "After all, this is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."
Director Dai was silent, thinking that if Mr. Jiang was really so generous, he would not have issued the orders of the Qing Communist Party to the World War II Zone, Central Shandong War Zone and Sulu War Zone. But then again, Mr. Jiang ordered the Qing Communist Party to
Communist Party, it is reasonable. In the final analysis, the problems of the Communist Party of China must be solved eventually.

Cuimingzhuang, eastern suburb of Peiping.
Minamizo Yunzi suddenly lowered his head to Okamura Neji and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have let you down with your humble position."
"Miss Yunzi, don't worry." Okamura Neiji waved his hand and said calmly, "The defeat of the imperial army this time was entirely caused by my command error. The information you provided is still correct and timely. In addition,
Miss Yunzi has been troubled recently, so you should rest for a while before returning to the secret service."
"Hai." Nanzao Yunzi lowered his head again, then turned and left.
After watching Minami Yunzi's plump and graceful figure disappear outside the door, Lieutenant General Tanabe Moritake withdrew his gaze, smacked his mouth with some lingering thoughts, and said to Okamura Neji: "Your Excellency, Commander, Shimen has been lost.
The Dingxian to Xingtai section of the Ping-Han Railway has been completely attacked, and the situation in southern Hebei is already dire. Should we temporarily suspend the 'cannibalization' policy?"
"No." Okamura Neji waved his hand and said thoughtfully, "The 'cannibalization' policy cannot be stopped!"
"But..." Tanabe Shengwu said with some worry, "The morale of the 39th Army and Tubal Road is now at a high level. I'm worried that they will divide their forces to attack the major counties in southern Hebei. If they don't withdraw the troops stationed in major counties in southern Hebei,
Come on, it will probably be defeated by the 39th Group Army and Tubal Road one by one?"
Tanabe Moritake can't help but worry now. Tubal Road has just received a batch of new weapons. It will be easy to destroy the imperial army's stronghold gun towers and tanks. The county town that was originally as stable as Mount Tai seems to be less safe. In addition, the 39th Group Army and Jinan
Tubal Road has a large number of people. Once the troops are divided and attack, the situation will be very dangerous.
"Tanabe-kun, you are worrying too much." Okamura Neiji said calmly, "Although Yue Weihan has an arsenal, his production capacity is limited after all. How much ammunition can he accumulate in just a few months? After this battle, 39
The ammunition reserves of the Army Group and Tubal Road have probably been exhausted, and it is impossible to launch another attack in a short time."
"Your Excellency, Commander, has a keen eye, and I admire you even in your humble position." Tanabe Moritake.
Okamura Neiji waved his hand and suddenly said: "Tanabe-kun, I want to move the headquarters to Shimen!"
"Well, move the headquarters to Shimen?" Tanabe Moritake said solemnly, "Commander, will this be too dangerous?"
It is indeed dangerous to move the headquarters to Shimen, because Yue Weihan's 39th Group Army is entrenched in Jingxing Pass, only dozens of kilometers away from Shimen. What's more, Yue Weihan has just expanded his special operations force. This is an elusive and destructive force.
With their huge military strength, how do you know they won’t sneak into Shimen to assassinate the Commander?
"The danger is definitely there." Okamura Neiji nodded and said, "However, I am still uneasy about having someone else take charge of Shimen, because Yue Weihan is too dangerous. Although there are many outstanding talents among the imperial army generals
, but compared with Yue Weihan, it seems to be slightly inferior, so I have to go."
"But..." Tanabe Moritake said, "Will the base camp agree?"
"This is the need of the war." Okamura Neiji said calmly, "I think the base camp will agree."
