At the World War II Area Headquarters, Commander Yan was confident that after his knife was delivered to Chongqing, Chongqing would definitely pick up his knife and attack the Eighth Route Army.
Having played with the guy from Chongqing for more than ten years, he knew his character and character very well.
Therefore, after sending the telegram, he went back to bed to rest peacefully.
At five o'clock in the morning, while Commander Yan was still sleeping, the chief of staff who had been guarding the war room rushed into the lounge.
"Commander, something happened!"
"This is a victory telegram just sent by the Eighth Route Army, and it was sent clearly!"
Commander Yan raised his brows and his face instantly became serious: "The Japanese Kato Division was killed by them!"
"Yes!" the chief of staff affirmed.
"Even Lieutenant General Kato, the commander of the Little Japanese Division, was beaten into a sieve!"
"However, this is not the most shocking thing. In the past two years, the Eighth Route Army has fought a lot of great victories. However, it has almost never reported it to the theater and Chongqing. We all get the news from the intelligence department!"
"This time, the Eighth Route Army not only sent a telegram directly to the war zone and Chongqing, but also sent this telegram in clear code. It is really strange!"
Commander Yan did not answer, but took the telegram and read it carefully.
Soon his brows furrowed, and a very bad premonition appeared in his mind. He always felt that this telegram must have something to do with his intention to capture Linfen, but after thinking about it seriously, he didn't know what the relationship was.
Then he shook his head and replied: "Regardless of whether this telegram is strange or not, our biggest delay is Linfen City...and this telegram is for Chongqing. The real headache is Chongqing, not us!"
"Contact Chongqing immediately and ask them to issue troop deployment orders as soon as possible!"
"There is also Commander Zhang on the front line. Let them rush outside Linfen City as soon as possible. As soon as Chongqing's troop deployment order is issued, they will immediately enter the city and take over Linfen City!"
At eight o'clock in the morning, more than 8,000 Jin-Sui troops finally arrived outside Linfen City.
After a night of running around and marching, coupled with the fact that he was surrounded by thousands of Eighth Route Army troops, staring at him eagerly, Commander Zhang was not in a good mood at all.
At this moment, the chief of staff rushed over with excitement on his face.
"Military seat, the telegram from Chongqing has arrived!"
"Require the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army to withdraw from Linfen City and hand over Linfen City to our garrison!"
"Very good!" The lieutenant general's tired face finally showed a smile, and he ordered immediately.
"Chief of Staff, please go to Linfen City in person to prepare for the handover with the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Tell the Eighth Route Army, three hours. I only give them three hours. All troops must withdraw from Linfen City. Otherwise, we will immediately report to the Chongqing Military and Political Bureau that the Eighth Route Army is disobeying military orders and attempting to undermine the united front!"
"Yes, military seat!" the major general's chief of staff replied excitedly.
Holding the Shang Fang sword sent from Chongqing in his hand, he was confident that no matter how cunning the Eighth Route Army was, they could only obey orders this time.
After passing through the city fortifications that had been bombed into ruins, the major general chief of staff saw Wang Ping, a terrifyingly young commander in a small headquarters.
"Commander Wang, we have been ordered to take over Linfen City. I wonder if your army has begun to retreat!" The major general was very direct. He looked arrogant when he saw Wang Ping, and then asked Wang Ping in a commanding tone.
"Retreat? You mean Chongqing ordered us to withdraw from Linfen City?" Wang Ping asked, pretending to be confused.
The major general's brows instantly wrinkled, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. Things seemed not as simple as he thought, even though he had a transfer order from the Military and Political Department in his hand.
"Yes, it's the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs!" the major general affirmed.
Then he directly threatened Dayi: "Your Eighth Route Army is also part of the National Revolutionary Army. I believe that you will definitely implement the orders of the Chongqing Military and Political Department!"
Wang Ping was not frightened and continued to pretend to be confused and replied: "Of course we are the National Revolutionary Army. As the colonel leader, I was appointed by the Chongqing Military and Political Department. I will definitely execute the order!"
"But when to implement it specifically, I still need a new order from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs!"
"I read the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs. He only asked us to evacuate Linfen, but did not stipulate that we evacuate Linfen City within a few days!"
"The battle has just ended, and we still have a large number of wounded in Linfen City who need to be treated. These are heroes who fought against the Japs. They all need to rest and rest. If we retreat rashly, many soldiers may die!"
"Enough people from our Eighth Route Army have died in this battle. I don't want to sacrifice another soldier!"
Wang Ping's words made the Major General and Chief of Staff speechless.
The Eighth Route Army was given three hours to withdraw from Linfen City. That was just an order from the military base. There was no stipulation in the Chongqing transfer order. The Eighth Route Army could choose to refuse to implement it.
Thinking of this, the major general's chief of staff could only choose to go back and report to the military.
In his opinion, if Commander Yan had a way to get the military headquarters to issue an order to the Eighth Route Army to withdraw from Linfen City, then there must be a way to get Chongqing to add an order that limited the Eighth Route Army to withdraw from Linfen City within three hours.
Seeing the major general leaving, Wang Ping sneered directly: "It is a delusion to think that the white wolf with empty gloves can steal Linfen City from my new group!"
"Chief of Staff, send my second telegram to headquarters immediately!"
"This Yan Laoxi has plotted against us time and time again on the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi. This time I must make him bleed hard and get an empty city that has been bombed into ruins!"
At the World War II Area Headquarters, when he saw the telegram sent by Commander Zhang from the front line, Chief Yan scolded him with disdain.
"These Eighth Route Army troops are so cunning. Is it interesting to take advantage of them like this?"
"I can ask Chongqing for a transfer order, and I will definitely ask for a transfer order that limits them to a few hours to withdraw from Linfen. Such a meaningless struggle is nothing more than staying in Linfen City for a few more hours. I don't believe they can stay here.
Come up with a solution within a few hours!”
"Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the Military and Political Department immediately and ask them to issue a new troop deployment order!"
To Commander Yan's surprise, the chief of staff came back less than five minutes after leaving, and his face was very serious.
"Commander, the Eighth Route Army has done something wrong again!"
"This is a telegram they just sent out to the Chongqing Military and Political Department. They want money, equipment, ammunition, and supplies before agreeing to withdraw from Linfen City!"
"They are so cunning. They directly invented the coded telegraph. This is obviously to let the people and the entire army know about it!"
"If Chongqing refuses, it will not only lose face, but also chill many local troops and the common people!"
Chief Yan received the telegram and studied it carefully. After a while, his brows furrowed into a big "Sichuan"!
