"Comrade Wang Ping proposed it again?" the commander-in-chief said thoughtfully after reading the telegram.
"And Lao Peng also agreed. He is not the kind of impulsive person. Since he agrees, it means that something is going on!"
The commander-in-chief frowned and hesitated for a long time before replying: "I understand Lao Peng's character. He would not take the initiative to send us a telegram unless there was a 60-70% chance of winning!"
"This battle has a beginning, I suggest you study it carefully!"
The commander made a decisive decision: "Guard, find me the Shanxi map immediately. It will be useful to me and the boss!"
"Notify the staff department and immediately send all the information about Taiyuan, Shanxi to me. The distribution of enemy and friendly forces in Shanxi will also be sent here!"
"From now on, except for the deputy commander, no one can approach my office without my order..."
The new regiment headquarters outside Linfen City and the courtyard where the deputy commander-in-chief is located are heavily guarded.
The deputy commander walked around the yard with his hands behind his back and frowning, for more than an hour without any intention of stopping.
"Boss, please stop circling around and sit down and take a rest. You are circling around like this, and my head is spinning!" Commander Chen reminded him with a worried look on his face.
The deputy commander has always been known for his calmness. This is the first time Commander Chen has seen him so clueless!
The boss frowned and replied: "Old Chen, you are not in your position and not pursuing your political affairs. Whether it is the military parade or the attack on Taiyuan, it is an unprecedented event for our Eighth Route Army."
"Now that the telegram has been sent to Yan'an, I still don't know if Yan'an will agree or if there are any other considerations. Do you think I can be in a hurry?"
"It's almost noon. You go to the cooking class to hurry up and finish lunch as soon as possible. Let's discuss whether the attack on Taiyuan is really as smooth as we thought last night!"
"Okay~" Commander Chen also knew the huge pressure on the deputy commander-in-chief's shoulders and answered quickly.
The lunch was very sumptuous, but neither of us had any appetite.
After eating in a hurry and returning to the room, the communications staff member hurried in.
"Chief, telegram from Yan'an!"
"Finally, I got a call back! Give it to me quickly!" the deputy commander grabbed the telegram.
After quickly scanning the contents of the telegram, my tense nerves finally relaxed and my frown eased.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Yan'an has agreed to hold a large-scale military parade belonging to our Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shanxi, and the time is set to be three months from now!"
"The commander-in-chief will come in person in a month!"
"Also, Yan'an appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the entire military parade, and you, Commander Chen, and Wang Ping, who proposed the idea of the military parade, as deputy commander-in-chief!"
"The commander-in-chief also named Wang Ping, the deputy commander, to be specifically responsible for this military parade. We must show all the hard power of our Eighth Route Army in a grand and solemn scene!"
"In addition, Yan'an also specially allocated 20,000 yuan from tight funds to support this military parade!"
"The military parade news will be sent out in two months, and then people from Chongqing and various theaters will be invited to participate in the military parade. If possible, the deputy commander-in-chief will also invite several foreign envoys and martial arts schools from Chongqing!"
"Old Chen, in this case, our Eighth Route Army's military parade this time will not only show off its muscles to the people across the country, but also to the whole world!"
"I'll have Comrade Wang Ping come over now!" Commander Chen also had a very excited smile on his face.
Half an hour later, the security in the small courtyard was even tighter than before.
Especially the room where Wang Ping and the deputy commander-in-chief stayed, the outside could be described as one sentry every five steps, and one post every ten steps.
Without an order from the deputy commander-in-chief, not even a single person, not even a fly, could get close.
After reading the telegram, the deputy commander Wang Ping did not show any smile on his face.
Instead, he replied with a serious face: "Chief, the pressure on us from Yan'an is not ordinary!"
"If envoys and military attachés stationed in China also participate, then our military parade plan must be adjusted!"
"The armies of Western countries have been completely mechanized. In order to let them see the new look of our Eighth Route Army, we must also properly display these aspects!"
The deputy commander frowned and asked, "Be specific!"
"Increase the number of artillery, automobile, and armor troops in the phalanx!"
"I agree!" Commander Chen agreed.
"What foreign armies attach most importance to is troop mechanization, armored units, and artillery fire!"
"Only by specifically displaying these aspects, our Eighth Route Army can give those foreign envoys and military attaches a new look and let them know our Eighth Route Army again!"
"At that time, our Eighth Route Army will also go to the whole world, let the whole world know about us and value us!"
"Boss, I suggest that Comrade Wang Ping be responsible for all determination and training of the reference phalanx, and the two of us will help him!"
"Although I don't know where he learned all these things in his mind, I am sure that he knows more than us and can make better things than us!"
"I agree!" the deputy commander hesitated and affirmed.
Wang Ping replied with confidence: "The chief believes in my words, and I will definitely not let him down!"
He is confident. Looking at the entire Eighth Route Army, no one knows the military parade better than him.
He was confident that as long as he copied 50% to 60% of the contents of future military parades, he could hold a military parade here that would shock the world!
Then he continued: "According to Yan'an's wishes, the news will be announced to the outside world one month before the military parade starts. By then, the Japanese will definitely try their best to sabotage it!"
"Not only the Japanese, but also people from Chongqing may send people to cause trouble!"
"Because they don't want to see our Eighth Route Army go abroad through this military parade and let the whole world know about our Eighth Route Army!"
The deputy commander's brows furrowed: "They will definitely send people to sabotage it!"
"At that time, the Commander-in-Chief, our senior commanders of the Eighth Route Army will come, plus senior officers from various theaters, officials from Chongqing, foreign envoys and military attachés, and a large number of reporters. Once there is any security accident, our Eighth Route Army will not only not
He will become famous all over the world and become the laughing stock of the whole world!"
"Security work is very important, and it is difficult to make it foolproof!"
Commander Chen suddenly said: "Wang Ping, you must have an idea!"
"You can bring people in and out of a heavily guarded place like Beiping City. A security guard shouldn't be a problem for you!"
