Chapter 338 Who will fight first?
Seeing Chu Yunfei using a regiment of elimination equipment to exchange twelve American 75 mountain cannons from Liang Gang, Fang Ligong felt that his brain was not enough.
Is there such an operation?
Liang Gang thought for a while and said, "Brother Yun Fei, before separation, I still have something unknown, I want to ask for advice."
Chu Yunfei groaned and said, "Brother Tiefeng wants to ask me, if the Japanese army really attacked Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others, should we save it or not?"
"That's right." Liang Gang nodded, "Please teach me Brother Yunfei."
Chu Yunfei did not rush to answer and asked Fang Ligong: "What do you think Brother Ligong?"
Fang Ligong said without hesitation: "I believe that we should provide help within our ability."
"Well? Brother Li Gong's answer surprised me a little." Chu Yunfei said with a smile, "When Li Yunlong's troops were trapped in Cangyunling, I wanted to help, but you firmly opposed it."
"Oh, I didn't see the problem thoroughly at that time." Fang Ligong said in a sigh, "I only saw that the Eighth Route Army was just our theoretical friendly army. Sooner or later, but I didn't see that at least at this stage, the Japanese army was the biggest enemy. Before defeating the Japanese army, we still had to establish good relations with the Eighth Route Army."
After saying this, Fang Ligong said: "The disastrous defeat in the Zhongtiaoshan Battle fully proves this truth."
It has to be said that the Zhongtiaoshan Battle slapped many senior Kuomintang generals in the face, but also woke up many people, bringing them back to the right track.
Fang Ligong is one of them.
Fang Ligong then asked Chu Yunfei: "What do you think the hostess think?"
Chu Yunfei looked cold and said, "My opinion, sit in the mountain and watch the tiger fight! I won't save you!"
"Ah?" Chu Yunfei's answer was also beyond Fang Ligong's expectations.
After a while, Fang Ligong said: "You were determined to save me at that time, but why didn't you save me?"
"The reason is very simple." Chu Yunfei said, "It's time and time. At Cangyun Ridge, the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army were still very weak, but the Japanese army was unprecedentedly powerful. The Eighth Route Army may be destroyed by the Japanese army at any time. Therefore, we should do our best to protect this armed force and share the strong pressure of the Japanese army for us."
"But now, the strength of the Eighth Route Army is no longer as good as before."
"Especially the three groups of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie."
"The defense zones of these three groups are distributed in a font shape, and they are strangled with each other."
"And the Communist Party has always been good at winning people's hearts, so it has won the hearts of the local people."
"Now the strength of Li Yunlong and his three regiments is no longer under our Shanxi Sui Army's Unique Brigade and the Central Army's Ninety-Fourth Brigade, and it is even better in some aspects."
"In contrast, the Japanese army is in a downward trend."
"Even if Zhongtiaoshan wins this time, it is not enough to reverse this trend."
"So now, it's time to use the Japanese to weaken the Eighth Route Army, so that once a civil war breaks out, we can eliminate them more easily."
"So that's it." Fang Ligong felt a sudden enlightenment in front of him.
"The vision of travelers looking at problems is to be more thorough and profound than humble positions."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "But there is one thing that can be done by using the Japanese to weaken the Eighth Route Army, but it is not possible to join forces with the Japanese to deal with the Eighth Route Army."
This sentence was said to Liang Gang.
"Okay, I understand." Liang Gang nodded.
"Brother Yunfei, let's part with you and my brothers."
Watching Liang Gang get off, Fang Ligong said sincerely: "The brigade is such a good method. The elimination of a regiment of national equipment can be exchanged for an American mountain artillery battalion. I admire him."
Chu Yunfei grunted and said, "What's the matter?"
Fang Ligong whispered again: "But the equipment of Li Yunlong's battalion?"
Chu Yunfei's face turned cold and he said, "Don't worry, Brother Li Gong, Li Yunlong will vomit sooner or later."
He paused and said, "When the Japanese army launched a mobilization in northwest Shanxi, when Li Yunlong came to the door and begged our only brigade to send troops to rescue him, would he see if he had returned?"
...
"Right?" Li Yunlong said, "That's a big deal!"
"After entering our Lao Li's belly, I still want to take it back? Dreaming."
Zhao Gang was a little embarrassed by Li Yunlong's robbery, but he still said patiently: "Old Li, when we first came to northwest Shanxi, we had a serious shortage of weapons and equipment. We just thought it was borrowed from Chu Yunfei. This is reasonable, but now our equipment situation has improved a lot."
"Even if you return the equipment of that battalion to Chu Yunfei now, the impact will be little."
"So I think that for the sake of improving the relationship between the two parties, you should return the equipment as soon as possible. After all, you promised to return it at the beginning, and you can't speak without trust."
Li Yunlong became impatient: "Old Zhao, you are such a nerd."
"There are still too many weapons and equipment? Shen Quan's county brigade is no longer needed, it can be used for district squads, and district squads are no longer needed, it can be used for militia."
"How can I return it?"
"Why are you turning your elbow out?"
Zhao Gang said: "It's not that I think there are too many guns or that I'm turning my elbows out, but to improve the relationship between the two parties."
Xing Zhiguo also said: "Old Li, I also think the political commissar is right. If Chu Yunfei turns against us because of the equipment of this battalion, he will only let the Japanese get the advantage."
"You know nothing." Li Yunlong was not polite to Xing Zhiguo.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie are at the same level as him, so they have to give him some face, but Xing Zhiguo has been under him since Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and he has always scolded him if he wants to.
Xing Zhiguo looked dark and did not dare to say anything again.
Finally, Wang Ye said: "Political Commissar, Deputy Commander of the Criminal, don't worry."
"Chu Yunfei will not turn against us for the elimination equipment of this battalion, and it won't take long to make a request for us. At that time, he will formally express his intention to give us the equipment of this battalion."
"Really? Chu Yunfei really wants us Eighth Route Army?"
"How can the Japanese really fight against the only brigade of the Jinsui Army first?"
Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were skeptical.
...
"The question now is who to hit first?"
Yoshio Iwamatsu glanced at the officers attending the meeting.
This is a staff meeting on the General Policy on the Public Security War in Shanxi in the second half of the year. All officers at the headquarters of the second lieutenant and above can participate, and can also speak freely at the military meeting.
But most low-level officers just join in the fun.
Only a very small number of people can really put forward their own opinions.
Although it was a meeting of staff, senior generals such as Miyao Daichi Miyao, the commander of the Second Guard Division, Ikari Ren of the 36th Division, and Yuichiro Nori, the commander of the 37th Division, were also attended. However, these old Japanese soldiers would not express their opinions easily.
The most active are the heads of the headquarters.
Intelligence Department Director Jiro Sakuma said: "Of course we will fight the Eighth Route Army first."
"Why fight the Eighth Route Army first?" said Iwato Yoshio, "Tell me your reasons."
"Hayi." Sakuma Jiro paused his head, strode to the big map posted on the wall of the conference room, pointed to the map and said, "After the Chinese Central Army on Nakajo Mountain was annihilated by the Imperial Army, Shanxi's Jinsui Army and the Chinese Central Army had only two small control areas left, and the threat to the Imperial Army was no longer as strong as before."
"In contrast, the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army has expanded unprecedentedly."
"In terms of actual control area alone, SX saves more than 70% of the land and more than half of the population under the control of the Eighth Route Army."
The entire conference room was in full swing.
The officers present felt incredible.
Those senior generals remained silent.
Because they all knew that what Sakuma Jiro said was true.
As the head of the intelligence department, Sakuma Jiro knows more about this information than anyone else.
After pausing, Sakuma Jiro said again: "So, not to mention the entire North China, at least in Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army has replaced the Central Army of the Chinese Na and the Shanxi Sui Army and become the number one strong enemy of the Imperial Army!"
"In view of this, I think we should attack the Eighth Route Army first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another major officer stood up and said, "No, I should fight the Central Army first!"
When everyone looked back, it was the Communications Division Chief Yasuhiro Inoue.
Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "What's the reason?"
Inoue Yasushi said: "The reason is that after the Battle of the Central Plains, although the Chinese heavy army group entrenched in Zhongtiao Mountain has been destroyed, Pang Bingxun's troops are still entrenched near Jincheng in southern Shanxi. Moreover, Pang Bingxun's troops are now working hard to repair the relationship with the Eighth Route Army. If the Imperial Army launches a battle against the Eighth Route Army at this time, Pang Bingxun's troops and Yan Xishan troops in western Shanxi are very likely to provide help. Even if they do not provide help, they will definitely take the opportunity to expand their territory."
Sakuma Jiro said: "Kun Inoue, if I attacked the Central Army of China and the Shanxi Sui Army first, wouldn't the Eighth Route Army provide help? Wouldn't it take the opportunity to expand its territory?"
"Of course, too." Inoue Yasushi said, "but it is impossible to deal with the Eighth Route Army. The Jinsui Army will be given a lot of time and space for development and growth. It is just a piece of cake to deal with the Chinese Central Army and the Jinsui Army at this time. You can achieve a comprehensive victory in one or two months."
After a pause, he said, "How much territory can the Eighth Route Army expand after such a short time? In addition, I think the principle of easy first and difficult should be adopted. First, we should eliminate the remaining Chinese Central Army in southern Shanxi and the remaining Jinsui Army in western Shanxi, and finally concentrate our efforts to deal with the Eighth Route Army. Then the public security situation in Shanxi should be completely reversed."
"I think Sakuma-kun's opinion is correct, and he should fight the Eighth Route Army first."
"No, I think what Inoue-kun said is correct. He should fight the Central Army and the Jinsui Army first."
"Idiots, you don't know the terrible things about the Eighth Route Army at all. You must fight the Eighth Route Army first."
"Baga, as a soldier and an imperial samurai, aren't you ashamed?"
The final result was no exception. A good meeting of staff turned into a debate between the two factions, then turned into a quarrel, and finally rose to personal attacks.
"Enough!" Yoshio Iwamatsu had no choice but to stop him.
"Shut up and don't make personal attacks."
Then he turned his eyes to Takuya Suwara and asked with a smile: "Muwahara, what about your opinion?"
The eyes of several old Japanese turned to Takuya Suwon. Takuya Suwon became famous in this battle of Taiyuan defense, and several old Japanese were very optimistic about him.
However, Takuya Suwahara was very low-key and waved his hand and said, "I will listen to you, Your Excellency Commander."
As soon as Takuya Suwara finished speaking, the officers attending the meeting also expressed their opinions to obey Iwamatsu Yoshio.
Yoshio Iwamatsu swept his eyes over several division commanders such as Miyano Daoichi, Iguanren, and Yuichiro No.
Miyano Dao was waiting for several old Japanese men to look at their noses and their noses, as if they were asleep. Obviously, they had no position on this issue, and it would be acceptable to beat anyone first.
"Then let's hit Chu Yunfei first!" Yoshio Iwamatsu said with a dark face.
"First destroy Chu Yunfei's troops, then destroy Liang Gang's troops, and finally deal with the Eighth Route Army."
While speaking, a communications soldier hurried in and handed a telegram to the communications department head Inoue Yasushi.
Inoue Yasushi stood up and said, "Commander, this is the information sent by the Front Army Command. It said that the National Government had just provided two American American equipment to Chu Yunfei's troops and Liang Gang's troops, and even twelve mountain cannons. Given that the threats of these two troops are getting bigger and bigger, the General recommends that our First Army give priority to solving them."
"Soga." Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "Now there is no need to argue anymore."
The Japanese army soon began to prepare.
...
"What?"
Chu Yunfei was shocked and said in disbelief: "Brother Li Gong, you won't make a mistake, right?"
"The voyage is not wrong." Fang Ligong said solemnly, "I have asked the intelligence department to repeatedly verify it."
"Is that true?" Chu Yunfei still disbelief, because the Japanese army's choice was completely contrary to his judgment, which made him emotionally difficult to accept.
It's not just because of the shame of making mistakes in judgment.
It is also because of the real threats faced by the unique brigade of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army.
If the Japanese army in Shanxi really took their unique brigade as a priority target, the brigade of their unique brigade alone would not be able to stop it anyway, and Liang Gang's 94th Brigade could not stop it.
At that moment, Chu Yunfei said again: "Brother Li Gong, let the intelligence department continue to verify."
"Okay." Fang Ligong nodded helplessly.
...
Wang Ye brought Wei Dayong, Wei Xilai and Duan Peng outside Heyuan County.
This is the third county town that Wang Ye has reconnaissed in the past half month.
What disappointed Wang Ye was that Fu'an County and Ping'an County only had commerce, but no slight industry, and even the most basic food processing industry did not.
Wang Ye said: "Big Flower Wolf, did you often come to Heyuan County before?"
Duan Peng was unhappy with the code name of Big Flower Wolf. He didn't know why Wang Ye gave him such an inexplicable code name and pretended not to hear it.
"Fuck, the Northwest Wolf asked you?" Wei Dayong turned around and kicked Duan Peng.
Duan Peng became angry and said in a deep voice: "Big Bad Wolf, would you try kicking me again?"
"Kick it, I'm afraid of you." Apart from Wang Ye and Lu Changsheng, Wei Dayong was not afraid of anyone, so he immediately kicked Duan Peng again.
Duan Peng fought back.
The two immediately formed a group of people.
Wang Ye did not stop him and sat beside him and watched the show with Wei Xilai.
Because he knew that the two of them had similar skills and it was difficult to decide the winner within a hundred moves, so he just fought.
Sure enough, after a long time of fighting, he could not decide the outcome, and only exhausted the two of them half to death. In addition, Wei Dayong's nose turned blue and Duan Peng's face was swollen, which was not considered to be a result of no results.
Seeing the two stops, Wang Ye smiled and said, "Why don't you fight anymore, continue to fight?"
"It's too tiring to stop fighting." Wei Dayong scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Duan Peng was not relieved yet and said with a dark face: "Big Bad Wolf, please listen to me. I am also a serious veteran now. Don't think of bullying me anymore."
Wei Dayong turned his head away and pretended not to hear it.
Wang Ye said again: "Big Flower Wolf, did you often come to Heyuan County before?"
"It can't be considered to come often, right?" Duan Peng said angrily, "I only come to the county town a few times a year."
"Then have you seen a factory in the county?" Wang Ye said, "Any factory is fine, flour mill, bedding factory, towel factory or winery. Have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it before." Duan Peng kept shook his head.
Wei Xilai said, "Captain, it seems that he can only go to Anhua."
Wei Dayong said: "If I want to say it, just go to Taiyuan directly. I guess there will be no factories in northwest Shanxi, but Taiyuan, as the SX provincial capital, must have many factories."
While we were talking, the sound of bells suddenly rang on the road ahead.
"There is a situation!" Wang Ye shouted softly, and the four of them immediately turned around and hid in the dense cornfield.
After a while, a convoy slowly came close to the front along the road. The convoy consisted of more than 20 large trucks, each with canvas covered, and I don’t know what was installed inside.
There was a whole company of puppet troops responsible for escorting.
Wang Ye did not dare to act rashly when the four men opposed a company of the puppet army.
But I couldn't resist the luck. A puppet soldier suddenly felt anxious and actually got into the cornfield to relieve his skills. He was caught by Wang Ye and the other four of them.
...
Pan Rengang took off his pants when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The moment I turned around just now, I glanced at me and saw someone?
After being stunned for three seconds, Pan Ren quickly lifted his pants, turned around and turned around, and then saw in horror that the two men were squatting less than two meters away, staring at him with a smile.
"A pervert, just look at shit." Pan Ren pretended to be nothing and prepared to leave.
However, as soon as he turned around, he almost collided with the other two figures, and then the two black muzzles were pressed against his forehead.
"I'm in a hurry to leave?"
One of the men said, "Can you chat?"
"Master Eighth Master, please spare me." Pan Ren knelt on the ground with a thud.
The man smiled and asked, "Name, army number, position?"
"Pan Ren, the third row and fourth squad of the 2nd Battalion, the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association, is the deputy squad leader." Pan Ren shook his bottom off like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
The fool is fighting against the Eighth Route Army.
I have heard that the Eighth Route Army will not kill people indiscriminately.
"It's quite cooperative." The man asked again, "What's in the car?"
"It's all wheat." Pan Ren said hurriedly, "There are 40,000 kilograms in total."
Chapter completed!
