The 341st chapter Taihang Mountains anti-mopping campaign (fourteen)
Zhou Guansheng immediately said, "Then what military discipline did these Hebei People's Army violate and were all executed? And it was not just the Hebei People's Army that was massacred, many of our Eighth Route Army guerrillas also fell under the butcher's knife. Moreover, these
Which military discipline did the civilian army violate? Is there any evidence?
Besides, there is no Hebei People's Army in the border area, right? Is this also an internal matter?"
Agent Jiang said with some embarrassment, "Well... I still need to investigate. You have to trust the government. If there are really grievances, they will be resolved sooner or later."
Zhou Guansheng shook his head and said, "Chairman, this reminds me of the fish in Zhuangzi. By the time Chairman, you draw the water from the East China Sea, I am afraid that all the anti-Japanese soldiers in Hebei will have been killed."
Jiang's face turned green when he heard this. He said helplessly, "Let's take three days. I will give you an answer in three days. Mr. Zhou, this is you too. If anyone else dares to talk to me like this, I have told him to get out."
.”
Zhou Guansheng was not prepared to see the result in one go, so he could only nod his head and said, "Our Red Party sincerely supports the United Front and the Anti-Japanese War. Our soldiers are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army in Hebei to the end. They have just annihilated a Japanese brigade. We
I hope the tragedy of Zhuxian Town will not happen. Chairman, I was a little excited and my words were a little disrespectful. I apologize here." After saying that, Zhou Guansheng bent down to pay tribute and turned to leave.
When Zhou Guansheng left, Agent Jiang's face suddenly darkened.
"Zhuxian Town! Who are they? Is it Yue Fei? Then who am I? Is it Qin Hui or that Song Huizong?" Jiang Jie slammed the teacup and said, "Mother Xipi, give it back to Zhuangzi, do they, the Red Party, still have something in their hearts?"
Our ancestors?"
A man walked out from behind a screen, and it turned out to be Hu Zongnan, who was supposed to be in Xi'an.
"Commissioner, when the students attacked the border area this time, they felt that they were more independent than the Yue Family Army back then. The Yue Family Army just called themselves the Yue Family Army. The military pay, food and grass were still in the hands of the court, but the Red Party, they
The soldiers are self-recruited, the weapons are captured and made or purchased, and the food and wages are collected locally. It is basically a small government."
Agent Jiang asked Hu Zongnan to sit down and said, "Speak slowly and carefully about what you saw in the border area."
Hu Zongnan nodded and said, "The students were ordered by the commission. They just wanted to test the reality of the border area, so they led two regiments to Zhengning, with Ziwu Ridge as their back. Our army wanted to take the opportunity to capture Ziwu Ridge so that we could have a commanding position. As a result,
...As a result, our army was defeated."
Jiang intermediary asked, "Why was it defeated? Is it because of insufficient military strength, lack of familiarity with geography, or some other reason?"
Hu Zongnan shook his head and said, "They indeed only have one regiment, and their weapons are not bad, but these are not the key. The key is that the people are like their eyes. These people are completely **** and do not cooperate with us at all. Instead, they often attack
I. We can't find their main force, but their main force can find us. We lost in intelligence, but we also got a lot of intelligence. We discovered a large number of factories in their countryside, and we found
Many of their weapons are homemade, and I heard that they already have their own large arsenal and steel factory."
Agent Jiang couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this. Of course he knew how important factories were. He originally thought that the factories in the border area were just simple small workshops, but now it seems that they have grown in scale. Agent Jiang squinted his eyes and asked, "
If we start an all-out war with the Red Party now, what do you think the chances of winning are?"
"Commitment is not allowed." Hu Zongnan stood up in fright and said, "Commissioner, after all, this is the anti-Japanese period. The Japanese army is still approaching Changsha. The Japanese army in the north is also raiding Hebei. If we start a full-scale war with the Red Party now
, I’m afraid that public opinion across the country will be biased towards the Red Party.”
Jiang Jie stood up and said, "Of course I know, I just want to know, if the Japanese leave now and we fight the Red Party, how many troops will we need, how much time will we spend, and how much will we lose to win! You are my number one person in Huangpu
, I have fought against the Red Party again, I need your judgment."
Hu Zongnan couldn't help but sweat profusely. After thinking for a while, he said, "Students think... Now that the Red Party has grown in strength and is in danger of Shanxi, I'm afraid it doesn't have more than one million troops. It will take a year to clean up."
Jiang Jie sighed and said, "When the Red Party was besieged by our army in the northwest, it had only 30,000 people and less than 10,000 guns. Today it has developed to this point... Already full of wings? Then let's lose their wings first!
"
Hu Zongnan asked, "What should we do?"
Jiang Jie thought for a while and said, "Same as before, contain the enemy first and then clear them up. You are right. The Japanese invaders will not be destroyed. We cannot go into an all-out war with the Red Party. We must first confine the Red Party and hand over the northwest."
You must not allow the Red Party to expand any further! Other places must also clean up the power of the Red Party step by step."
Hu Zongnan asked again, "What about Hebei?"
Jiang Jie sighed, "Hebei has been invaded. Encirclement will not work. However, we cannot stand up and fight against the Red Party. Since Zhu Huaibing has taken action, we will not do anything but continue."

"What? Let us continue to attack the Eighth Route Army? If this... if we continue to fight like this, we may attract the Japanese." Zhang Yinwu said worriedly.
Shi Yousan also objected and said, "We can't fight anymore. I think the Eighth Route Army has gone crazy. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the Eighth Route Army will use all its strength to deal with us. I think we can take advantage of it and forget it."
"Why, are you scared?" Zhu Huaibing said with a smile, "What is the Red Party? To put it bluntly, they are different from us. If you don't beat them today, do you think they will let us go tomorrow?"
After saying that, Zhu Huaibing smiled and said, "Now the main force of the Eighth Route Army is in the Taihang Mountains. There are not many people in the plains, just Chen Xilian. Moreover, I tell you, the Japanese have contacted me. Not only will they not attack us, they will also
They will support us. For every bullet we fire, they will give us three more bullets. If one of us dies, they will give us two 38-meter bullets. Think about it for yourselves."
Speaking of other things, Sun Dianying and others didn't feel anything, but when they said there were guns and bullets, it tickled a few people.
Pang Bingxun said hesitantly, "Isn't this a traitor? I, Lao Pang, will not do that."
Zhu Huaibing consoled him, "This is not like being a traitor. The Japanese said they don't want us to carry their banner. We are still the National Army. We drove away the Red Party members in a county, and they gave us another county. The Japanese said,
The purpose of their coming is to deal with the Red Party. The enemy of this enemy is a friend. We are not surrendering, but taking advantage! Moreover, this is also what Chongqing means."
After speaking, Zhu Huaibing looked at several people and asked, "Is there anyone who is unwilling to deal with the Red Party? Could it be that... he wants to defect to the Red Party?"
Sun Dianying, Pang Bingxun and others quickly waved their hands to express that they would never collude with the Red Party. Seeing that everyone was united, Zhu Huaibing said, "According to the intelligence, the main force of the Eighth Route Army gathered in Shen (County), Wu (Qiang), Rao (Yang), An
(Ping) Between the four places, General Sun, General Shi, General Pang, and General Zhang, the four of you each choose a place. Let's move forward together and thoroughly clean up this so-called Eighth Route Army depot!

"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Chairman Mao said while looking out the window at the already gloomy weather.
"Chairman, Hu Zongnan retreated obediently, but he was repelled by us. But the situation in Hebei not only did not improve because of Jiang Jie's order, but worsened again. Look at this information, the white stubborn forces are preparing to divide their forces into four.
They attacked our base area on the road, but the Japanese army not only did not exchange fire with them, but instead gave them guns and cannons, and they were almost sent off. I think they have completely turned into traitor troops!" Ren Bishi ran in angrily and said.
Chairman Mao looked at it and said, "Guansheng has made great efforts in Chongqing. It's not that we don't resist Japan, but that some people don't want us to resist Japan and want to compete with us. I think let's compete. You can order Chen Xilian to
Concentrate your strength and attack the enemy first. These people want to take advantage. If they are frustrated, they will inevitably retreat."
Ren Bishi said worriedly, "I am worried about the anti-Japanese situation in Hebei. The 129th Division and the 61st Army are already in great difficulty in the Taihang Mountains. Although our army is familiar with the geographical location, the Japanese army has too many troops. If this continues, the losses will be too great."
Chairman Mao took a puff of cigarette and said, "Don't worry, as long as the fighting in the Taihang Mountains continues for another one or two months, the Japanese will definitely withdraw their troops."
Ren Bishi asked, "Why is this?"
Chairman Mao smiled and said, "You see, the Japanese Kwantung Army has not gone south yet. If they go south, it will be more difficult for us. This means that their main attention is still on the Soviet Union. The winter in Mongolia is very cold. As long as it reaches ten
It will snow in the moon, and the war will be difficult to fight by then, so I judge that the war between Japan and the Soviet Union must break out in September. It is darkness before dawn. The troops of the 115th Division have already arrived in Shandong. If Hebei
If you really can’t support it, you can still let Lin Sanhu work hard in Shandong, so don’t worry!”
With that said, Chairman Mao pointed to Shijiazhuang and said, "It seems that our tanks did not scare the Japanese. They still feel that we have no determination to liberate Hebei. I think we can fight again and let them draw back their troops."
Laterally, it reduces the pressure on Taihang Mountain."
——Wooden Buddha Stand
Liu Bocheng looked at the telegram and said, "Both the Chairman and the Military Commission believe that we must resolutely attack the Bai stubborn forces. I think we can let Chen Xilian attack. In addition, Mr. He also sent a telegram saying that his troops have arrived in Guangning County and can attack Feihuyu at any time."
The Japanese army and General Fu Zuoyi sent a telegram, saying that they would intensify their attack on Shijiazhuang. Wow, now our pressure is much less."
Deng Xianxian sighed and said, "This is because we now have enough military strength and weapons and equipment to fight on the three fronts. This is a big deal."
Liu Bocheng said with a smile, "Now Shanxi's arsenal is constantly recovering. I believe it won't be long before we can fight the Japanese in an upright and decisive battle."
——Shijiazhuang
"boom"
A bomb fell from the sky and landed on the fortifications in Shijiazhuang. Japanese guard Doqiao looked at the ashes on the map, patted it and said, "Hasn't the headquarters responded yet?"
The signal soldier shook his head and said, "Not yet, let us continue to hold on."
"Hold on? How to hold on? There are hundreds of planes bombing us indiscriminately every day, and there are hundreds of tanks and countless heavy artillery outside to remove our strongholds one by one. We have less than 20,000 people, and
There are at least 100,000 people attacking us! This is the real main force of the Eighth Route Army! But that prince attacked the worthless mountainous area with the main force. Are mountainous areas more valuable than railways and cities?" As he spoke, Tuqiao stomped helplessly.
foot.
"But...but we did not see many infantry attacking the city. The feint attack inferred by the headquarters is reasonable." A staff officer lowered his head and said.
"What's the point? Have you ever seen such a feint?" Doqiao glared at him and said.
"Report, Peiping telegram." The signal soldier stood up and said.
"Read it!" Tuqiao said immediately.
"There is no need to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army until it has entered the city. This is to relieve the siege of Taihang Mountain. We hope that the defenders of Shijiazhuang will display the spirit of Bushido and hold on to the end." The signal soldier said and looked at the earth bridge once.
"Baga! These officials in Peiping don't know the hardships we have on the front line." The speaker said that a series of explosions could be heard faintly outside, and Tuqiao was frightened for the first time.
"Report, the Eighth Route Army has suddenly increased its offensive intensity. Using tanks and aircraft as cover, they have broken through the Sijiazhuang position and are about to enter the city." A communications soldier ran in and shouted.
"Okay!....Damn it, send a message to Peiping immediately. The Eighth Route Army has already entered the city. Without any support, the disaster in Shanxi may happen again!" Tuqiao knew for the first time that he had said the wrong thing and looked around with some embarrassment.
, he said after realizing that no one was looking at him.
——Beiping
Prince Higashino Miyazaki looked at the bullet casing in his hand and sighed, "Is this the bullet that made Takeshita-kun's soul return to Kudanbei?"
The young man nodded and said, "The Eighth Route Army's special forces are very powerful. I was almost discovered by them. They had a lot of strange equipment and weapons. I had no choice but to escape."
King Higashikata Minuhiko shook his head and said, "Takeshita died. Even if you try to assassinate him alone, you won't succeed. During the war, no commander will wander around anymore. That's all. Let's talk about it next time."
"Report, urgent telegram from Shijiazhuang." Yamashita Fengwen came in with the telegram and said, "The Eighth Route Army in Shanxi has invaded the urban area of Shijiazhuang. I think they may really want to take Shijiazhuang."
Prince Higashikata Minuhiko quickly took it and looked at it, and said incomprehensively, "How could it be? Even if they take over Shijiazhuang, it won't be of much use."
Yamashita Fengwen shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Shijiazhuang is located at the railway hub, and taking Shijiazhuang is like having a dagger on our chest in Hebei. Even if we take Taihang Mountain, they can use Shijiazhuang to attack everywhere.
After all, at that time, I am afraid we no longer have the strength to fight another battle for Shijiazhuang."
"Report, urgent telegram from Tokyo, ordering us to defend Shijiazhuang!" Another telegram came. King Higashino Higashino and Yamashita Fengwen looked at each other, not knowing what to decide.
