Wang Xuexin did not expect such a "turn of events".
The reason is that in history, after the defeat of the Jinsui Army at Zhongtiao Mountain, they huddled in southwest Shanxi until the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
Unexpectedly, there is still an opportunity to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in the war...
But when I think about it, it seems normal.
In history, when the Jinsui Army was defeated and retreated, the Eighth Route Army was under a joint blockade by the stubborn army and the Japanese. Even eating was a problem. Its own strength was drastically reduced from 400,000 to 300,000. It can be said that it could not protect itself.
Under such circumstances, the Eighth Route Army would certainly not be the target of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army alliance, so it could only rely on the stubborn army.
But it's different now.
With the efforts of Wang Xuexin, the Eighth Route Army solved the food crisis in advance, and with the help of rocket launchers and gasoline bombs and the Eagle Sauce Bear, it developed so vigorously that it is now planning to attack Yuncheng.
As a result, they had an interest relationship with Yan Laoxi. They also hoped to regain Yuncheng, and they also hoped to gain a firm foothold and continue to maintain the independence of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army was in the initial stage of military industry development... Making guns and bullets was a major event for the Eighth Route Army, but it was the most basic foundation for an army.
Can’t the Jinsui Army make guns and bombs?
Can't the recalcitrant army make guns and bombs?
Not to mention the devils...
In other words, the Eighth Route Army was still in its infancy at this time and could be strangled in the cradle by the Japanese if they were not careful. Therefore, all forces that could be united must be united.
However, Li Yunlong was not happy about this: "Chief, let's not talk about the role that the Shanxi-Sui Army can play. Yan Laoxi and the Japanese are not clear about it. If the time comes, they will use the Japanese as usual.
Are you going to stab us in the back?"
Ding Wei surprisingly did not go against Li Yunlong this time. He nodded: "This is what I am worried about. There is a saying that it is easier to attack a city than to defend it. If we join forces with the Jinsui Army, it will be easy to capture Yuncheng, but with Yan Laoxi
Because of his virtue, he has to occupy Yuncheng himself. Therefore, after Yuncheng is captured, it may be the time for us to break up!"
Ding Wei is still very far-sighted and sees the overall situation, and he analyzes the situation in a clear and reasonable manner.
"How can this be done!" Kong Jie said: "Isn't it just that we help them eat meat?"
Li Changfu, who had been silent until now, interjected: "Will the Jinsui Army... deliberately reveal our plan to the Japs so that both of us and the Japs will suffer, so that they can reap the benefits?"
"They won't do this!" Wang Xuexin said: "If our army and the Japanese are evenly matched, then it is possible for both of us to lose. This makes sense!"
"That's right!" The leader nodded: "The enemy's strength is far greater than that of our army, so it's not that both sides suffer, but that our army loses the opportunity to develop, which is not in the interests of the Jinsui Army!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The reason is simple.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army was blocking the front of the Jinsui Army. The better the development of the Eighth Route Army, the safer the Jinsui Army would be.
On the other hand, if the Eighth Route Army is in trouble and cannot stop the Japanese, it will be the Jinsui Army's turn next.
To put it simply, the Jinsui Army would not do this even if it was for their own benefit.
Thinking of this chief, I felt relieved: "So, even if they guess our strategic intentions, it won't have a big impact! However, we still have to be careful. The first thing to do is to contact Chu Yunfei and let him
They do a good job of keeping it secret!"
"It's all on me!" Li Yunlong quickly agreed: "I'll tell Chu Yunfei, he is a smart man and knows what to do!"
Li Yunlong meant to make meritorious deeds.
"We must also pay attention to the movements of the Japs!" the leader said, "especially the intelligence work in Yuncheng. If there is any trouble with the Japs, we must report it immediately!"
"This job is left to me!" said the chief of staff.
In order to win the city, many intelligence personnel have been infiltrated during this period, and the chief of staff is very confident in this.
Wang Xuexin continued: "In addition, I think that even after Yuncheng is captured, it is not impossible to hand it over to the Jinsui Army..."
The cadres in the conference room all looked at Wang Xuexin in surprise, and then they all said:
"How can this be done? No matter what, it's half the price per person!"
"Is there any reason why we have a share in the fight but not the benefits?"
…
Li Yunlong glared at Wang Xuexin with his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Dongbei, how can you turn your elbows outward? Yan Laoxi'er can't even do this, so you'd better be borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
Something’s coming!”
"Commander!" Wang Xuexin explained: "Think about it, if we take Yuncheng, will the Japanese be willing to do it?"
"Of course the Japanese are not willing to give in!" Li Yunlong replied: "But that is another matter. Don't get involved in the mud..."
Wang Xuexin asked: "If this Japanese is unwilling to give up... where do you think he will start?"
"Of course..." Then Li Yunlong said "oh", and then laughed "hehe": "Let me tell you, what is so great about Yuncheng? It should be given! It must be given!"
Others also understood it.
The chief of staff nodded and said: "This is reasonable. Yuncheng has strangled the Japs' lines of communication. If the Japs want to counterattack, they must start from Yuncheng. By then... the Jinsui Army will move from the rear to the front!"
Kong Jie also nodded and said: "What we want are copper mines, iron mines and salt lakes. These are all outside the city. As long as we negotiate with Yan Laoxi, there will be no problem!"
Ding Wei was a little worried. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "But Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei are so easy to mess with. How could they not know this truth? When the time comes, they will get on line with the Japanese, and they will fight like before.
Will the Japanese be let go?"
"Then let's see if Yan Laoxi has the guts!" The chief's brows spread out and he said: "In the past, the stubborn troops guarding Zhongtiao Mountain. The stubborn troops and the Shanxi-Sui Army colluded to form a barrier to Yuncheng. Only
Only in this way can they dare to go against us. Now, if Zhongtiao Mountain is also in the hands of our army, the safety of Yuncheng will be determined by our army..."
The chief of staff continued: "You're right, we will have the initiative by then. If the Jinsui Army dares to conspire with the Japanese, we can respond at any time. But of course, we cannot give up Yuncheng completely, then
It should be an important base for us."
Yuncheng is indeed important, but it is only important to the Japanese army, which relies heavily on transportation lines.
The Eighth Route Army can supply supplies on the spot and even rely on the mountains to survive... Yuncheng is not that important to the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army was good at mountain warfare rather than city defense, so it could take this opportunity to learn from the Jinsui Army.
In this way, the Eighth Route Army can not only get the resources it wants, but also push the Jinsui Army from the rear to the front to face the Japanese. Why not?
The Jin-Sui Army will be in trouble then.
Yuncheng is in front of them, do they want it or not?
