The elderly sleep lightly and less.

Yan Xishan is almost sixty years old, so he gets up before five o'clock.

Just as Yan Xishan took it up and was about to drink it, the intelligence director Yang Zhenji hurriedly pushed the door and came in.

"Director Yang?" Yan Xishan frowned and said unhappily, "Why don't you knock on the door when you come in?"

"Uh, I'm sorry," Yang Zhenji said in a daze, "I forgot to knock on the door in a hurry. Please don't be surprised."

"never mind."

Yan Xishan said angrily: "What's wrong?"

"It's this..." Yang Zhenji said, "Director Liang just sent a secret message, and the Eighth Route Army has already entered the Gongji Gate."

"Bang!" The celadon tea cup in Yan Xishan's hand fell to the ground, shattered and the tea in the tea cup also splashed, wetting Yan Xishan's trousers' legs.

However, Yan Xishan seemed to have not realized it.

The huge shock made Yan Xishan feel hot.

"Chief?" Yang Zhenji asked with concern, "You're nothing wrong, are you?"

"Hmm? Oh." Yan Xishan woke up like a dream, and then burst into tears of pain again.

Yang Zhenji hurriedly squatted down and helped Yan Xishan roll up his trouser legs. He found that his calf skin was already red, but fortunately the scalp was not serious.

Yang Zhenji asked with concern: "Master, do you want to call the military doctor over?"

"No need, nothing." Yan Xishan waved his hand and then asked, "Director Yang, what did you say just now? The Eighth Route Army attacked the Gongji Gate?"

"Yeah, yes."

Yang Zhenji nodded vigorously and said, "The Eighth Route Army has attacked Gongji Gate."

"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Yan Xishan said in disbelief, "How could the Eighth Route Army do it? How could they invade the city?"

Yan Xishan emotionally could not accept such facts.

The Japanese army was stronger than the Jinsui Army, so he could accept the Japanese army's capture of Taiyuan.

But what is the Eighth Route Army? It's just a bunch of mud legs. Not to mention the Japanese army, they are incomparable to their Jinsui Army. How could he be able to capture Taiyuan?

However, no matter how emotionally difficult Yan Xishan is,

Now we must face a cruel fact, that is, the Eighth Route Army is really possible to capture Taiyuan!

But Yan Xishan could not accept this result anyway. He would rather the Japanese army continue to occupy Taiyuan than see Taiyuan fall under the control of the Eighth Route Army.

Yan Xishan asked Yang Zhenji: "Director Yang, how much opportunity do you think the Eighth Route Army has to seize Taiyuan?"

"It depends on whether the Japanese army is willing to transfer the main force on the front line of the Taihang Bandit District back." Yang Zhenji said, "If the main force of the First Army on the front line is transferred back, the Eighth Route Army will have no chance."

He paused and said, "But if the Japanese are lucky, it's hard to say."

Yan Xishan frowned even more and more when he heard this, and asked again: "Do you think Yoshio Iwamatsu is lucky?"

"This is hard to say." Yang Zhenji said, "Considering that our Jinsui Army's Independent Brigade and the 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army also captured the outer city of Taiyuan last time, but it was not able to crack down on the inner city of Taiyuan in the end, it cannot be ruled out that Yoshio Iwamatsu would be lucky and attempt to defend Taiyuan with his existing forces, and wait for the main force of the First Army to complete the sweep before returning to rescue Taiyuan."

"If this is the case, we can't sit still." Yan Xishan said with a dark face.

After a pause, he said: "Director Yang, immediately send a telegram to Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, and order the Independent Brigade and the Independent 94th Central Army Independent Brigade to launch an attack on the Fuliang Bandits Zone!"

...

Chang Kaishen got up earlier than Yan Xishan.

Because during this period, Chang Kaishen was in a very good mood.

The reason is also very simple, because the Congress of the beautiful country had passed a resolution not long ago to grant the National Government five billion dollars of aid under the Lease Act.

This time it is no longer the order of tens of millions of yuan.

It is not an order of magnitude of billions, but an order of billions of dollars!

Speaking of which, the Beautiful Kingdom has actually provided several aid to the National Government. The total amount of tung oil loans was US$45 million, and the tungsten tin loan in four years was RMB50 million.

The National Government also bought a lot of American equipment from the Beautiful Country with these loans.

However, the American equipment of just a dozen divisions is ultimately a drop in the bucket for the national army with hundreds of divisions.

But this time it’s different. This time, the beautiful country directly provided the National Government with a quota of 5 billion US dollars!

Although the amount of aid given to the National Government by the Piaoliang Kingdom was less than a fraction of the aid given to the Soviet Union, and compared with the amount of aid given to the Dayin Empire by the Piaoliang Kingdom, Chang Kaishen was still very happy because the five billion dollars of aid was enough for him to arm a hundred American armed troops!

A complete set of equipment and ammunition for an American weapon master is about 50 million US dollars.

If the armored units and artillery units are properly weakened, 5 billion US dollars will be enough to arm two hundred American armored divisions!

Chang Kaishen was extremely excited just thinking about it. If there were really two hundred American armed soldiers, they would defeat the Japanese devils, restore the whole country and then wipe out the Communist Party?

So during this period, Chang Kaishen even walked with wind.

Not only do you walk with the wind, but you will also meet your requirements for beautiful countries.

Before Tang Zong finished speaking, Chang Kaishen said anxiously: "Promise him and promise Stilwell, isn't it just a source of troops? We in China lack everything, but we don't lack source of troops."

"Are the military aircraft of the beautiful country empty after transporting the supplies?"

"Let the air force transport planes of the floating country go from Kunming air force source to India. Stilwell will give him as much as he wants. First airlift two divisions, and next year three divisions will go."

"First give him the organization of two armies, the New First Army, and the New Sixth Army."

"However, the logistics supplies of these two armies will be provided by the Indian-Myanmar War Zone."

After a pause, Chang Kaishen said: "But one thing must be explained in advance that command can be given to Stilwell, but the army commander and the division commander shall be decided by the State Government."

Tang Zong quickly recorded the telegram and handed it over to Chang Kaishen for review.

Chang Kaishen looked at the complete text carefully and found that his name was on the note.

Tang Zong had just left with the telegram, but Dai Li hurried in with a dark face.

"Principal, something happened." Dai Li lowered his voice, "What happened in Taiyuan."

"Taiyuan?" Chang Kaishen's heart was stern and he said in a deep voice, "Has the Eighth Route Army broken through the city?"

"Yes." Dai Li said, "I just received a secret telegram from Taiyuan Station. Just in the early morning of this year, the Eighth Route Army attacked the outer city of Taiyuan from Gongji Gate and is now in a fierce street battle with the Japanese army."

After a pause, Dai Li said again: "The Japanese army is in a dilemma now."

Hearing this, Chang Kaishen's face immediately collapsed, which was something he didn't want to see.

However, in the face of the mess in Shanxi, Chang Kaishen did not have much to do. The only thing he could do was order Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang to send troops.

At that moment, Chang Kaishen said to Dai Li: "Yunnong, I understand, you go back first."

After sending Dai Li away, Chang Kaishen called Chen Bulei over and said, "Yanji, immediately issue an order to Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang in the name of the attendant's room."

"Let Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang conquer the Eighth Route Army's nest."

"If the Eighth Route Army insists on attacking Taiyuan, then the party and the country will leave them homeless."

"Commissioner, will this encourage the Japanese army's arrogance?" Chen Bulei whispered, "Anyway, the Japanese army is the number one enemy of the National Government at this stage."

"No, that's the old almanac."

Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said, "With the beautiful country's participation in the war, Japan's defeat is inevitable, and the government can consider the matter of suppressing the Communist Party in advance."

"Originally, I didn't want to do it so early."

"But since the situation in Shanxi has developed to this point, then go ahead."

He paused and said, "Tele to Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, don't be rude."

...

The orders of the Chief Office of the Second World War Zone and the orders of the attendant room were delivered to the brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army almost at the same time.

After reading the two telegrams translated by himself, Fang Ligong did not dare to neglect them, so he quickly came to Chu Yunfei with the telegram.

"The voyage, this is the telegram from the chief department, this is the telegram from the attendant's office." Fang Ligong solemnly handed the two telegrams to Chu Yunfei, and said, "Please check it out."

After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei frowned.

"Strange." Chu Yunfei frowned, "What's wrong with the principal and the old commander?"

At this time, Fang Ligong handed over the third telegram and said, "You can check this news again at the traveler."

"What? The Independent Regiment has broken through Gongji Gate and broke into the outer city of Taiyuan?" After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei changed his roar, "No wonder the principal and the old commander were anxious to order our Unique Brigade, asking us to copy Fuliangshan."

"A brigade, do you need to execute orders?" Fang Ligong frowned, "The Chairman of the Standing Committee and the Chief Officer's order is to let our only brigade start a complete war with the Eighth Route Army."

"Of course the orders of the principal and the old commander must be implemented."

Chu Yunfei said: "However, there is no need to go to a complete war with the Eighth Route Army."

He paused and said, "As we did before, we should seize Heyuan County first, and then divide our troops to capture Dagu Town and Lijia Town."

Fang Ligong said: "What if the Eighth Route Army resists?"

"Resist?" Chu Yunfei said coldly, "If you dare to resist, you will disarm on the spot, but try not to hurt others."

After a pause, Chu Yunfei sneered again: "But I believe that the Eighth Route Army should not be ignorant of current affairs. They should be very clear about what the real fight will be."
