Chapter 1336 The commander-in-chief is very confident
"Boss, if you think this way, you are looking down on our Eighth Route Army commander!" A voice suddenly sounded from the door of the war room.
Several people's eyes immediately turned to the door.
"Hello, boss, the commander of the Taihang Military Region is here to report!" Commander Liu, who was standing at the door, reported with a smile.
"Commander... why didn't you inform me when you arrived?" Commander Chen next to him was the first to react and asked with excitement!
Only then did Wang Pingping react: "Hello, Commander Liu!"
Commander Liu replied with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to inform you, it's that the commander-in-chief didn't let me inform you!"
"The commander-in-chief is here too?" the deputy commander-in-chief asked quickly.
"Here we are, just arrived...Commander Chen, Comrade Wang Ping, hello!" The commander-in-chief who was walking behind finally walked out from the side.
"Hello, Chief~"
This was not the first time for Wang Ping to see the Commander-in-Chief, but he was still excited!
The commander-in-chief waved his hand and said: "No need to say more polite words. I just overheard you at the door saying that each military region is leaderless, and I am worried that the Japs will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack!"
The deputy commander affirmed: "There is indeed this worry!"
"Yan Laoxi has noticed that our base areas are leaderless and that those commanders have come to southwestern Shanxi. The Japanese intelligence agency is even more powerful and must have obtained this information!"
"Don't worry!" the commander-in-chief replied confidently.
"We must believe in our Eighth Route Army commanders at all levels!"
"We are no longer the Tubal Road we used to have. We have more troops and better equipment. More importantly, our commanders have experienced actual combat for several years. Even if their commander is not here, the political commissar, deputy commander, and chief of staff are still capable.
Command the troops to repel any possible attack by the Japanese!"
After saying that, the confident commander-in-chief began to issue an order: "Send telegrams to all military regions and military subdivisions to inform them of relevant intelligence and the judgment of the headquarters, so that they can prepare for counter-mopping up!"
"Also, it might be an opportunity for us if the Japanese army takes the opportunity to attack our base area!"
"Tell the temporary leaders of each military region to seize the opportunity and treat this counter-mopping up as a local counter-offensive.
"We want the Japanese to lose their wives and soldiers!"
After giving the order, the commander-in-chief turned his attention to Wang Ping: "Comrade Wang Ping, in southwest Shanxi, you are the host and we are the guests. How do you plan to arrange for us guests..."
"Please rest assured, chief, there will definitely be no problems with safety!" Wang Ping replied quickly.
"After the Japanese troops withdrew from southwestern Shanxi, the nearest airport to here was in Taiyuan, which was one or two hundred kilometers away. It was difficult for Japanese planes to come over. Therefore, it was very difficult for Japanese air raids here!"
The commander-in-chief shook his head and replied: "I'm not worried about safety!"
"What I'm asking is, if I stay in southwestern Shanxi for such a long time, I can't sleep in your headquarters every day, right?"
Seeing the embarrassment on Wang Ping's face, the deputy commander-in-chief said: "Commander-in-Chief, please don't embarrass him...I think you will just come with me and do whatever you need to do?"
At the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping, Okamura Neiji has emerged from the haze of failed raids.
At this moment, he is conducting another revenge raid.
"You still haven't figured out the whereabouts of this senior commander of the Eighth Route Army? Did he really leave, or did he hide it deliberately to lure the imperial army to attack them, and then catch the imperial army by surprise?" Neji Okamura stood in front of the sand table.
He frowned and cursed.
"The Special High School Division has mobilized all its efforts to investigate, and news should come back soon!" the chief of staff replied.
Seeing that Okamura Neji's anger had not subsided, he immediately added: "Your Excellency, Commander, you can't blame them!"
"The intelligence power of the Eighth Route Army has increased sharply in the past two years. Since the formation of the so-called action team after studying the Special High School Course, the special agents lurking in their base areas have suffered heavy losses, and even many intelligence points have suffered devastating blows!"
"Nowadays, the strength of the Special High School in the Eighth Route Army base areas is not what it used to be. Especially around the headquarters of each base area, the intelligence strength is almost zero!"
"In addition, the heads of the Eighth Route Army base areas are their key protection targets, so it will be even more difficult to find their traces!"
Okamura Neji had a sullen face and couldn't help but cursed: "Bagya Road, they are all a bunch of stupid pigs!"
"The Eighth Route Army has developed so rapidly in the past two years. The imperial army's raids on them have failed time and time again. The inability of the Special High School to provide timely intelligence has a lot to do with it!"
"Also in southwestern Shanxi, I remember that the Special High School promised me at the time that the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army would be able to fight within three months at the latest!"
"But now that so much time has passed, they haven't started fighting!"
"Not only that, the intelligence forces lurking in southwestern Shanxi under the Special High School were exposed time and time again and were killed by the Eighth Route Army, almost uprooting them!"
The chief of staff continued to comfort him: "Commander, calm down, it is really the Eighth Route Army that has risen and developed too fast!"
"idiot……"
Okamura Neiji, who had suppressed his anger and had nowhere to vent it, was about to continue to curse, but the responsible person from the special high school class finally showed up.
He rushed in and reported with a heavy breath: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have found out!"
"Those Eighth Route Army commanders did leave their bases and went to southwestern Shanxi!"
"Not only our special high school, but also the intelligence department of the Jinsui Army has found this information. The information sent by our intelligence personnel lurking inside the Jinsui Army is exactly the same as what we collected ourselves. There must be no problem!"
"Southern Shanxi?" Okamura Neji frowned and muttered to himself with a puzzled look on his face.
Soon, a look of realization appeared on his face: "I understand!"
"Although the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army in southwest Shanxi are not fighting, it is a fact that the Jinsui Army is encroaching on the Eighth Route Army's base area step by step!"
"If the Eighth Route Army has no other countermeasures, southwestern Shanxi will definitely fall into the hands of the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
"In this way, the southwestern Shanxi that the Eighth Route Army snatched from us at a huge cost will be occupied by the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
"The Eighth Route Army will definitely not give in. If I guessed correctly, the visit of so many senior Eighth Route Army commanders to southwestern Shanxi must be related to the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
Speaking of this, Okamura Neji suddenly flashed a very cunning smile on his face!
The chief of staff who was familiar with him immediately asked: "Commander, have you thought of something?"
"Yes, if the operation is done well, it will definitely be a good strategy for our North China Front Army to kill three birds with one stone!" Okamura Neiji affirmed very confidently.
