Two hundred and fifty-six chapters candle dragon - the third stage (six)
——Chongqing
At the military meeting, Jiang Jie, with a livid face, took the telegram and said, "Look, look, the Eighth Route Army was able to fight such a battle even when it was surrounded by Japanese troops in two counties. What about our National Army? Has there ever been such a battle?"
As soldiers of the party and state, you should feel ashamed!!"
Li Zongren saw that everyone had their heads lowered and remained silent, so he stood up and said, "Committee Chairman, don't get excited. I read the telegram. The main reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to win was as they said. The Japanese army was too proud, but now the Eighth Route Army is still being defeated."
Besieged at the foot of Luliang Mountain, I think if this continues, the Eighth Route Army may be completely wiped out. Should we think of a way? After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops."
Agent Jiang looked at Li Zongren who stood up to be a good guy again, and snorted coldly in his heart, and said, "The Eighth Route Army is expanding very fast. Our troops are getting smaller and smaller as we fight, but their troops are getting larger and larger, with more than 100,000 people."
ah...."
After speaking and looking down, Tang Enbo was the first to stand up and agreed, "Yes, why are there so many people in the Eighth Route Army? Have we organized them? This is an illegal expansion of the army! While we are working hard on the front line, they are everywhere in the rear.
Taking up territory and recruiting men is simply abominable."
Jiang intermediary slapped the case and cursed, "What are you talking about? Those are friendly forces!! They are fighting the Japanese army. Do you want to stab them in the back?"
Tang Enbo quickly said, "I don't dare to do this because of my humble position, but I just feel dissatisfied."
Jiang Jie ignored him and said, "However, we still have to break the siege of the Eighth Route Army. We ordered Yan Xishan in the second theater to immediately send troops to attack the belly of the Japanese army. The Eighth Route Army has already attracted the main force of the Japanese army. If he does not take action, what will happen to him?"
do what?"
——Ji County
Yan Xishan looked at the telegram and snorted coldly and said, "This old Chiang Kai-shek has a good plan. He ordered me to send troops at this time and also distributed newspapers. If I don't do it, I will be unwilling to save him. If I send troops...there...
There are 100,000 Japanese troops, and Chiang Kai-shek will send his troops there himself!"
Yang Aiyuan nodded and said, "That's right, but it's impossible not to send troops. We are close to them now. If we really don't move, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the condemnation from the whole country."
Yan Xishan stood up and turned around twice and said, "Go and tell the Japanese that we are under great pressure now. We want Fenxi County. If they don't give it to us, they will get it themselves. The Japanese army will definitely agree in order to concentrate on fighting the Eighth Route Army. In addition,
, ordered the troops to be prepared. Once the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army are both defeated, it is time for us to come out and pick up the slack."
——Third Army Headquarters
Jun Tada threw the telegram down and said, "This Yan Xishan is so cunning and cunning. He actually wants our territory."
Takeda Takeo asked, "Your Excellency, Commander, shall we give it or not?"
Tada Shun took a breath and said, "Give it! But you can't give it so quickly. Give him a town today and a village tomorrow. It will make him want to stop. It's like boiling a frog in warm water. When things are better here, we will do it again in one go."
Yan Xishan’s Jin-Sui Army was also defeated!!”
——Shouyang County
Shouyang is a county town 70 to 80 kilometers away from Taiyuan. At this time, an army was passing through here quickly.
This team is very strange. On both sides are soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding steel guns. In the middle is a group of civilians. These civilians are either pushing carts or driving horse-drawn carriages. These vehicles are piled with ammunition, mortars and other
Materials.
The leader of this unit was an officer with a slightly crooked hat. A person next to the officer said, "Commander, our 129th Division's main force of more than 20,000 people is walking with such swagger. This little devil is not blind. If there is a plane bombing...
What should I do? This will delay the trip."
The officer cursed and said, "I said it's trouble for you, Tian Jie, to read some books. You're like a girl. You just need to be better at artillery fire. Otherwise, you're really useless. Now the little devil has been beaten back by our vanguard."
When we arrived at the county town, this rural place was full of our people. We had posted people on the main roads to the county town, allowing people to leave but not entering. Where did the devils get the news? The news they got was that our guerrillas were back and attacking the towns.
.But after walking a few dozen miles, we will reach Jinzhong. There are quite a few Japanese there. We have no way to cover the battlefield, so we have to discuss it with the political commissar."
The officer looked up at the sky and cursed, "Monk! Where is the monk? Get here here!"
A big man with a bare head and a machete on his back ran over quickly. He was running very fast, as fast as a strong horse.
The big man said stupidly to the officer, "Commander, what's wrong?"
The officer pointed forward and said, "Go and find the political commissar. Well... I'm the only one who wants to drink. He must be able to run fast."
The big man sighed and ran away. Tian Jie asked, "Captain, why did you say you wanted to drink?"
The officer said herrily, "Isn't this because he is anxious? Come on, come on!"
I only saw an officer riding a fast horse and running over quickly, holding a whip and shouting at the officer, "Li Long, if you dare to give me a drink at this time, I will go to the division commander to sue you, believe it or not!!"
Li Longtian smiled calmly and said, "If you don't drink, I won't drink. My good political commissar, how can I dare to drink at this time without you? To be serious, Jinzhong is ahead of us. There is no way we can go there in such a swagger. What do you mean?"
What should we do? Should we travel at night and hide by day, or what should we say? We also need to report it to the division."
Zhao Gang thought for a while and said, "No, this is a plain. If we travel at night and day, we can't use too many torches. Otherwise, half the sky will be red. How can we hide it from the little devils?"
At this time, a communications soldier came over and said, "Commander, a telegram from the division headquarters."
Li Long took it and took a look and laughed loudly and said, "The teacher is the teacher. He knew that we would encounter this problem, so he came to provide a solution."
Zhao Gang quickly asked, "How did you say that?"
Li Long said, "It's simple. The division headquarters ordered us to work harder. Tonight, we will send a group to attack Jinzhong City overnight. But it won't be a real attack, but it will look like several regiments. Others will pass directly with torches, so that the Japanese army can't figure it out."
Mind, when daybreak comes, Japanese planes will definitely come for reconnaissance. Everyone should put on civilian clothes, hide their weapons, spread them out, and show some tricks. Give them a feeling that we are actually just calling the common people to bluff.
There is no real large force."
Zhao Gang's eyes lit up and he said, "I understand, do you still remember the power on the day before yesterday? This must be to cooperate with the military. This is a big show. The reality is imaginary, the imaginary is real, the imaginary is imaginary, and the real is real.
In other words, when someone suspects someone, use falsehood, and when someone is real, use truth. The devil is cunning, so use falsehood at the right time. This is a wonderful thing, teacher."
Li Long widened his eyes and grabbed his head and said, "What did you just say? What happened? The teacher turned into a monk? There is also a big temple? I seemed to understand what the teacher meant just now, why did you say that to me?"
I don’t even understand. Monk, do you understand?”
The monk nodded blankly and said, "I understand...Captain, I have studied, but I have to recite sutras in the temple."
Tian Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard it. Li Long hit Tian Jie on the head with his fist and said, "Smile, you intellectuals know how to bully me, a rough guy, huh! Actually, I understand."
, isn’t it just... right... right, this, ah! Is that it, that... By the way, it’s almost dinner time, I’ll go to the front to see how the food is being prepared, don’t let the fellows
I’m hungry.”
Zhao Gang pointed at Li Long who didn't look back. He looked at Tian Jie and couldn't help but laugh.
--late at night
There are only six or seven hundred Japanese troops left in Jinzhong City, and there are still one or two thousand puppet troops. The telegram sent some time ago caused an impetuous atmosphere to float throughout Jinzhong. The Japanese troops patrolling outside felt that they were not friendly around them.
There seemed to be more eyes on him, and when the puppet soldier returned home, he was persuaded by his family to be more careful.
Tao Jingdou, who was responsible for guarding Jinzhong, only found it funny. He was obviously trapped in a small place and beaten by the imperial army. What kind of mentality could he say such big words that tens of thousands of imperial troops were in panic all day long? Well, the Chinese people really like to say that.
Big talk, they are just a despicable nation after all. What is even more ridiculous is that these Chinese people actually thought that the imperial army would fail? A failed imperial army? Was there such an imperial army after the Meiji Restoration?
"Pa" "ta da da da" The sudden sound of gunshots from far away startled Takaito. He quickly sat up and asked, "What's going on? Where is the shooting?"
After a while, a Japanese soldier came over and said, "Captain, there is someone shooting outside the city. There are gunshots from the west and north, and there are huge flames. It looks like it must be that person's large army."
Takaito slapped him in the face, only to knock the Japanese soldier into confusion.
"What a big army? Listen to it for yourself. It's just a few dozen guns. Come out with me." Tao Jingbo came to the top of the city and looked outside. Sure enough, he saw fire in the northwest. He looked with a telescope and saw only the silhouette of a human being.
Sorry, I don’t know how many people there are.
Takaito couldn't help but feel startled, but when he heard the shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire, there were indeed not many people there, and strangely, the sound of machine guns kept coming.
Takaito asked, "Let's calculate how much we have lost?"
About half an hour later, officers came to report the injuries, and only three were injured, all caused by stray bullets.
Tao Jingdou squinted his eyes and said, "There is a problem. This is definitely not a large force. Either the Chinese are luring the enemy, or there are other conspiracies. Order one-third of the people to be on guard at the top of the city, and the others to go back to sleep. Everything will wait.
Let’s talk tomorrow during the day.”
The next day, Takaito sent a message to Taiyuan's aviation force to dispatch for reconnaissance, and he also led a team of people out of the city to carefully check the situation.
"Captain, there's a situation here." A Japanese soldier shouted.
Tao Jingdou quickly ran over and took a look, only to see a layer of red letters in a trench, and there was a lot of gunpowder smoke.
Takaito laughed loudly and said, "Why are there so many machine guns? It turns out they are firecrackers. These Chinese people like to cheat."
At this time, the communications troop came over and said, "The air force came to report that a large number of Chinese people were found in the south, and there were signs of guerrillas hiding. They asked if they need to be bombed. If necessary, please report to the headquarters. All bombers are now
It is under the direct control of the commander."
Takaito thought for a while and said, "Let the aviation force send their findings to the headquarters, and let the commander come and make a decision. In addition, we will go back and report our findings."
——Third Army Headquarters
Takeda Takeda took the two pieces of information from the communications corps. He rolled his eyes a few times, looked at the time, and made a plan in his mind. He said, "Something serious has gone wrong. This must be reported to the Commander immediately." Then.
He dropped a telegram and ran out in a hurry.
The communications soldier next to him saw a telegram dropped by Takeda Takeo, and quickly said, "Commander Takeda dropped something, I'll deliver it to him."
Takeda Takeda ran all the way to Tada Shun's office, and sure enough, in addition to Tada Shun, there were Ushijima Minoru and Yoshimoto Sadichi in the room at this time.
Takeda Takeo said to Tada Shun, "Your Excellency, Commander, please retreat immediately. A large number of Chinese troops have appeared behind our army."
Tada Shun was shocked when he heard this and said, "How is that possible? Aren't the Eighth Route Army all besieged here by us?"
Takeda Takeda took the telegram and handed it to Tada Shun and said, "Look, the aviation force reported that a large number of Chinese people were found in Jinzhong. What time is it now? Why are these people coming in groups? I think this must be the Eighth Route Army
In disguise, the total number of these people is probably tens of thousands."
Yoshimoto Teiichi and others also gathered around to read the telegram. Tada Shun sweated and said, "Are these really the Eighth Route Army?"
At this time, a guard came in with a communications soldier and said, "Sir Takeda, this person said you dropped something."
The corners of Takeda Takeo's mouth slightly curved, then immediately changed back and said, "What is it?"
The communications soldier said, "It's a telegram from Jinzhong."
Tada Shun said, "Bring it here and take a look."
Tada Shun glanced at it for a few times and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He said reproachfully to Takeda Takeo, "You are really too careless. Look at the telegram you dropped. Have you not read it yet? Jinzhong's report
I wrote that someone attacked Jinzhong at night last night, but when he went out to search during the day, he found firecrackers all over the ground. This was a feint attack and a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army."
Ushijima chuckled and said, "Young Takeda, you are inexperienced. This is the Eighth Route Army's favorite tactic, using civilians and firecrackers to disguise themselves as large troops. This is so as to attract our military strength. The Eighth Route Army is the most cunning, and you almost fell for it.
Your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Route Army first attacked our checkpoint, and then mobilized civilians to disguise themselves as troops. It is very simple. They just want us to withdraw our troops."
Tada Shun nodded and said, "You are right, but the offensive these days is really not going well. The Eighth Route Army's fortifications are very strong, so they can only rely on the aviation bombing. I ordered the aviation force to work overtime for the bombing. I need three days."
Hit half of the position."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Takeda Takeo stopped talking and lowered his head to think. If he had just shown the two telegrams to Shun Tada at once, maybe he would really judge that this was a trap. But now, when
When he saw the first copy, he subjectively didn't want to believe it. When he saw the "dropped" second copy, he naturally felt that he was right. This is the weakness of the human heart. The large army has already arrived in Jinzhong.
Well, three days... I really don’t know what it will be like after three days.
