"Nang Xipi, how many troops does this *** Eighth Route Army *** division have? The whole of Shanxi was liberated by him. Also, these are more than 30,000 little Japs, and they are well-equipped. They were all liberated by this single-handed division.
Annihilated. Yunong, how does your intelligence department do things? Why don’t you have any information about such a big move by the ***? In addition, you have been investigating the establishment of this *** division for so long. Why?
There is still no news." Seeing his close confidants standing in front of him without saying a word, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but feel annoyed and roared loudly at Dai Li from the intelligence department.
"I reported to the principal that they were all despicable and incompetent. They relaxed their surveillance on the Communist Party and allowed them to take such a big move. The national government did not know anything about it. However, after several weeks of investigation, it was found that the Eighth Route Army ***
We have already investigated the specific establishment of the division." Looking at Chiang Kai-shek with an angry face in front of him, Dai Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied tremblingly.
"Nang Xipi, since you have found out, why don't you report it to me immediately? I will report it immediately. Respectfully, Ci Xiu, you also listen to me clearly. Look at this Eighth Route Army *** division, in this short time
In more than two years, it has grown from less than 10,000 guns to how many people it has now. Then take a look at your own troops and see how they have developed?" After hearing Dai Li's answer, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't bear it.
Zhu Zhu was furious again. At the same time, he said harshly to the confidants in front of him.
"Yes, Principal..." Seeing the angry face of Chiang Kai-shek in front of them, several people immediately lowered their heads and replied in a low voice.
"Yes, principal. According to the information from the internal investigators of the *** Division, the *** Division currently has three military divisions, a direct column, a guard brigade, an air defense regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, and a
Armored regiment, a cavalry regiment, an engineer regiment and other various logistics armed forces. Among them, each subordinate military division includes six main regiments, a guard regiment, an artillery regiment, an engineer battalion and a cavalry battalion. The directly affiliated column includes
Nine infantry regiments... In addition, after Shanxi was liberated by them, the *** Division began to recruit troops aggressively with the large amount of captured equipment. According to reconnaissance, they had once again reorganized from the captured puppet troops.
There are almost 30,000 elite troops. According to statistics, the *** division now has at least 40 main regiments of regular troops, with a total strength of about 100,000." Dai Li paused for a moment and continued.
"In terms of heavy weapons, this independent division has a total of at least 200 large-caliber artillery pieces over 75 mm, more than 20 tanks, various anti-aircraft guns, and more than 100 anti-aircraft machine guns. In addition, if nothing else happens, in
In this battle of Taiyuan, the Duli Division captured a lot of aircraft. At the same time, the Duli Division also had at least 6,000 cavalry troops... More importantly, they have a complete military industry system that can produce bullets efficiently.
, artillery shells have sufficient logistical supply. In addition, they also have various local armed forces reaching 200,000 people..." When Dai Li said the last word, his voice was almost like a mosquito.
And just when Dai Li finished speaking, he looked up at his colleagues next to him and Chiang Kai-shek in front of him. After hearing Dai Li's words, several people seemed to be petrified and stood there dumbfounded, without saying a word. Because,
At this time, they were stunned by the continuous flow of data that Dai Li said.
"Brother Yunong, are you mistaken? This is still the strength of a division. It is simply more than an army of our Central Army. Not to mention the equipment, it is definitely more than an army of our Central Army. Just those big
caliber artillery, enough to equip several heavy artillery brigades, you are not mistaken..." Just half a minute later, He Yingqin, who had the most say, was the first to react from the shock and asked in disbelief.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, everything I said is true. These data are not only not exaggerated, but also partially reduced. Moreover, in the process of occupying the entire Shanxi, the *** division must have once again captured a large number of
Heavy equipment." In response to He Yingqin's rhetorical question, Dai Li nodded and said affirmatively.
"Nang Xipi, who gave them the right to expand the army? When did our central government give them the right? Also, they messed up so much heavy equipment, why not hand it over? Are they still the army of the National Government?
No, Ci Xiu, please immediately ask the Ministry of National Defense to issue an order to them to disband the redundant establishment of the army. If they do not want to disband, the remaining people will be reorganized by the central government. Otherwise, in the name of not stopping the central government's orders, they will send
The troops will destroy him." After reacting from the shock, Chiang Kai-shek clenched his fists and ordered loudly.
"Chairman, you must not do this..." Just when Chen Cheng was about to leave after listening to Chiang Kai-shek's order in front of him, Bai Chongxi immediately stood up and reminded him loudly.
"Jiansheng, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. This time, no matter what, we can no longer tolerate the ***. Otherwise, sooner or later, they will become a danger to our party and country." Seeing Bai Chongxi standing up, Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied.
said.
"Yes, Chairman. What I want to say is that this *** division has just liberated the entire Shanxi Province and eliminated tens of thousands of little Japs. It can be said that it has a very huge impact both at home and in the world.
If we rashly order them to disband their troops, it will not only chill the hearts of the people across the country, but more importantly, it will cause immeasurable losses in the world. Even among our Central Army troops, it will have a considerable impact.
, Chairman, please think twice..." Bai Chongxi replied loudly.
Quiet... The entire office fell into silence as soon as Bai Chongxi finished speaking. Everyone knew what the impact of Bai Chongxi's words was. However, after less than half a minute,
Chiang Kai-shek opened his eyes again. However, to Bai Chongxi's disappointment, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes in front of him were still full of murderous intent. It was obvious that what he just said did not reflect any of Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts.
"Jiansheng, even if we offend some Western countries, this time, we cannot let the Communist Party continue to develop like this, especially this Eighth Route Army independent division. Do you have any other reasons? If not, quit and continue to send reports.
." Chiang Kai-shek still ordered loudly without any hesitation.
"Wait a minute, brother Xiu. Chairman, there is another reason for your humiliation. Please listen to the chairman and make a decision before it is too late." Bai Chongxi continued.
"Tell me..." Chiang Kai-shek said with a gloomy face without even raising his head. Obviously, he had already made a decision. Even if Bai Chongxi said anything, he would not change his mind at all.
"Yes, Chairman. What I want to say is, if this *** division does not disband or reorganize its troops in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of National Defense, how many troops does the Chairman plan to send to Shanxi to eliminate these thirty independent divisions of the Eighth Route Army?
An army of tens of thousands." Bai Chongxi immediately expressed his opinion without any hesitation.
Yes, how many people should be sent? Just now, he was so angry that he even forgot the most basic thing about fighting. Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and looked at Bai Chongxi, who had the title of Little Zhuge in front of him.
He cast a doubtful look and immediately began to ask, "Jian Sheng, do you think the most appropriate number of troops should be sent by *** if we want to eliminate this unified army of ***?"
"Half a million elite troops, and this is the force sent out by the other three main forces of the Eighth Route Army without reinforcements. If the other three main forces of the Eighth Route Army were to provide reinforcements, at least one million elite troops would be needed.
* Troops can complete this mission." Bai Chongxi answered with certainty without even thinking about it.
"Half a million? Fitness, I heard you right. Although this independent division has an armed force of 300,000 people, the real regular army only has about 100,000 people. To deal with the 100,000 Eighth Route Army troops, 500,000 elite troops are needed
*** troops?" After hearing Bai Chongxi's words, Chiang Kai-shek took a breath of cold air and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Chairman. Chairman, you must know that the *** Division at this time has one hundred thousand troops that are well-equipped, have sufficient ammunition, and possess a large number of heavy weapons. Such a force, coupled with a large number of
The strength of the local armed forces was many times stronger than that of the Central Red Army in the Central Soviet Area. Back then, in order to drive tens of thousands of poorly equipped Red Army troops out of their base areas, the Communist Party used 500,000 troops.
This time, the elite force of 500,000 people is still the smallest number," Bai Chongxi replied.
Similarly, as Bai Chongxi finished speaking, the entire conference room once again fell into silence. Because everyone was recalling the battle against the Central Red Army’s fifth encirclement and suppression campaign. Yes, there were also 100,000 Central Red Army troops at the time.
, but their equipment is indeed very crude and their ammunition is extremely short. Even with such a force, even half a million people of the Japanese army cannot annihilate it. What's more, the equipment is no less than that of the Japanese army, and the ammunition is sufficient.
Where is the ***? Thinking of this, everyone fell into silence again. Even Chiang Kai-shek, who had spoken very firmly just now, lowered his head and began to think quietly about countermeasures.
"Nang Xipi, the *** has just experienced several battles with the Japanese army. Now most of the troops are in confrontation with the Japanese army. Even if there are enough that cannot be managed, it is because they have just been replenished, and the combat effectiveness is very weak.
Besides, with the current situation, we will never be able to spare half a million elite troops. Jiansheng, are we just going to watch the *** troops develop and grow under our noses, and eventually become the mortal enemy of the party and state?"
Chiang Kai-shek thought about the situation he was facing now, shook his head speechlessly and said.
"Reporting to the chairman of the committee, I think that in order to deal with the Eighth Route Army's *** division, there is no need for the Central Army to take action. Now there is a person who is more anxious than any of us." After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, everyone frowned.
Brows. However, Bai Chongxi was the only one who smiled and asked with a smile to everyone.
"Jiansheng, you mean Yan Xishan..." After hearing Bai Chongxi's words, Chiang Kai-shek was the first to react and said with excitement on his face.
"Yes, Chairman. Yan Xishan has been running Shanxi for more than ten years and has the title of King of Shanxi. I think that when the Japanese Army occupied the entire Shanxi, Yan Xishan must be the most anxious to have a banquet. Because the Japanese Army defeated Yan
Xishan’s son-in-law. More importantly, at this time, Yan Xishan holds 100,000 Shanxi-Sui army troops and is fully capable of challenging this *** division. Therefore, why don’t we fight with Yan Xishan and the Eighth Route Army’s independent division?
In the meantime, a fire was lit, and our Central Military Army sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight." Bai Chongxi said with a smile.
"Haha, you are indeed a little Zhuge. Well, let's do it this way. This will not only weaken Yan Xishan's military strength. At the same time, it can also restrain the development speed of the Eighth Route Army. It can be said that it is a way to kill two birds with one stone. Respect it, and give it to Yan immediately
Xishan and the *** division issued orders respectively, ordering the *** division to hand over Taiyuan City to Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army for garrison." Chiang Kai-shek ordered with a smile. At this time, on his face, again
I can't see any anxiety.
"Yes, Chairman is wise, I will send the report right away." After hearing what Chiang Kai-shek said in front of him, He Yingqin's eyes also showed a glimmer of light, he quickly replied, turned around and left Chiang Kai-shek's office.
At this time, Yan Xishan, who was talked about by Chiang Kai-shek and others, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot after learning that Shanxi, which he had managed for more than ten years, had been completely occupied by the Eighth Route Army's *** division, as Bai Chongxi said.
. And immediately, he gathered all his staff and confidants into his office and began to discuss countermeasures.
"Chief of Staff, you are all here. I think you all know about the Eighth Route Army's *** division, the occupation of Taiyuan, and the driving out of the Japs from the entire Shanxi Province. How about you all share your opinions...
.." As all his confidants arrived, Yan Xishan slowly stood up from his seat and said to everyone.
"Commander-in-Chief, we have learned about this matter through the radio and newspapers. Commander-in-Chief, now that the Eighth Route Army has driven all the little devils out of Shanxi Province, do you think our Jinsui Army can return to Shanxi and resume control?"
The government is in Shanxi." Just as Yan Xishan finished speaking, a close general stood up and said to the crowd in a confused manner.
"Haha, General Zhang, how could things be that easy? If it were really that easy, I wouldn't have called everyone together today to discuss countermeasures. Think about it, the entire Shanxi Province that the Eighth Route Army worked so hard to occupy,
Will they willingly hand it over to our Jinsui Army? Besides, this Eighth Route Army unit is none other than Liu Hua's *** division. They have always been a unit that only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses. Last time Chiang Kai-shek sent two
The fact that our army is preparing to occupy the *** division's position is a lesson for us." Yan Xishan shook his head and said.
"Commander-in-Chief, according to your opinion, this Shanxi Province has benefited the Eighth Route Army in vain. You know, Shanxi Province is the home base of our Jinsui Army. If we lose Shanxi Province, then our Jinsui Army will be like the original
The Northeastern Army has no place to stay." After hearing Yan Xishan's answer, a close staff member immediately stood up and asked anxiously.
"Well, what Staff Officer Wang said is very correct. I brought everyone here to take charge of this matter. The Eighth Route Army's *** division has occupied the entire Shanxi, and it is obviously impossible for them to hand it over to our Shanxi-Sui Army.
However, our Shanxi-Sui Army cannot leave Shanxi Province. Let me just talk about it. I personally do not want to leave Shanxi Province no matter what. So, now we have to discuss how to take back Shanxi Province.
, we march into the Soviet Army, how about Ying Ga, once again take charge of the entire Shanxi Province." In response to the answer of Staff Wang in front of him, Yan Xishan nodded and said.
You know, Yan Xishan, for the sake of the prosperity of Shanxi as a whole, and for his Shanxi-Sui Army, he has spent a lot of effort building a logistics base for his Shanxi-Sui Army in the past ten years. More importantly, Yan Xishan is reluctant to part with his
Shanxi King's hat.
"Commander-in-Chief, we have learned about this matter through the radio and newspapers. Commander-in-Chief, now that the Eighth Route Army has driven all the little devils out of Shanxi Province, do you think our Jinsui Army can return to Shanxi and resume control?"
The government is in Shanxi." Just as Yan Xishan finished speaking, a close general stood up and said to the crowd in a confused manner.
