After the boss finished speaking, the audience started talking again, but this time the boss did not stop it. Instead, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank slowly.

After about two or three minutes, the discussion in the venue gradually stopped.

One of the cadres stood up and said: "Report!"

The boss nodded and said, "You say."

Cadre: "Boss, it has been almost half a year since the Japanese invaders implemented the 'cage policy' against our Taihang base area.

They didn't do much before. The so-called arming of the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway into an "inaccessible" area was just to ensure that the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway could be safe and smooth at all times without being harassed by our army."

"The Japanese invaders suddenly increased their troops this time. I'm afraid it may not be as simple as raiding our Taihang base area and wiping out the Eighth Route Army in our Taihang base area."

The boss nodded: "Your analysis is good, continue."

Cadre: "In my opinion, it is eighty percent that the Japanese invaders have suffered losses in the northwestern Shanxi region recently, but they are unable to do anything to the Eighth Route Army in the northwestern Shanxi region, so they have targeted our Taihang base area."

"The Japanese invaders suddenly increased their troops and seemed to want to completely destroy our Taihang base area and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area base area, but could this be a conspiracy by them?"

"Actually, you want to use the Taihang base area as a bait to lure our 129th Division from northwestern Shanxi to the southeastern Shanxi area, set up an encirclement point to support us, and severely damage or even eliminate us?"

"After all, compared to the control of the northwest region of Shanxi, the Japanese army's control of the southeastern Shanxi region is much stronger."

"If that's the case, if we just send reinforcements like this, wouldn't we be falling into the little devil's trap?"

The boss nodded: "Your analysis is good. This is indeed a conspiracy of the Japanese army. No, it should be said to be a conspiracy of the Japanese army."

After a pause, the boss changed his voice and continued: "But for the sake of the Taihang base area and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area base area, we must get into it even though we know that this is a trap set by the little devil."

"Because the Taihang Base Area and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Base Area are too important to our army and even to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War."

"Once the Taihang base area and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area base area are lost, the Japanese army in North China will no longer have any scruples, and their supplies can be continuously transported to the south through the Beijing-Hankow Railway."

"In addition, in the south, the Japanese army has comprehensively strengthened its economic blockade, military offensive, and political inducement to surrender against our country. With the loss of Guangzhou, our country's maritime connections with the outside world have been completely cut off.

The only channel for international aid is the Burma Highway, and recently, with the Japanese troops sending troops to Southeast Asia, this supply line has become in danger."

"This has brought unprecedented crises and difficulties to the war of resistance. Some people in the Kuomintang have become increasingly wavered, and the crisis of compromise and surrender is unprecedentedly serious."

"If our Eighth Route Army is no longer able to make some achievements in the north, and the Kuomintang really surrenders, it will be almost impossible to defeat the powerful Japanese invaders with the combat effectiveness of our army alone."

"In order to overcome this crisis, even if the Japanese aggressors do not increase their troops or intensify their attacks on our Taihang base area and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area base area, we still need to take the initiative to crush the Japanese aggressors' attempt to surrender to the Kuomintang and improve the situation across the country.

"

"The strategic role of this northwest Shanxi region is limited. Even if we capture all the cities in the entire northwest Shanxi region, the impact on the Japanese invaders will be extremely limited.

Therefore, our goal can only be the southeastern Shanxi area, especially the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway line, and drive our troops eastward across the Taihang Mountains to cut off the Beijing-Hankow Railway line occupied by the Japanese invaders."

Cadre: "If this is the case, we really have no choice but to drive troops to the southeast of Shanxi."

The boss nodded and said: "This is the situation. I called you here today not to discuss this matter with you, but mainly to inform you, because we have no choice."

"Currently, the biggest problem before us is not the trap set by the Japanese invaders, but how we can quietly cross the thousands of miles and move to the southeast of Shanxi."

"I believe you all know that many Japanese spies have infiltrated our army. Especially in recent times, each regiment is actively developing and recruiting new soldiers. It is inevitable that some Japanese spies will join the army.

Just an excuse to sneak in."

"Now that time is limited, it is impossible for us to uncover all these spies, but we can prevent them from informing the Japanese invaders.

And this is what you have to do next. On the way to fight in southeastern Shanxi, you must not let these spies convey our information to the Japanese invaders.

As for how to do it, you can figure it out yourself.

Understand?"

"clear!"

Everyone agreed with a bang.

Boss: "Okay, now let me tell you the specific route and plan for this trip."

Immediately, the boss stood up, picked up a baton, walked to the huge combat map behind him, and began to describe the specific plan to move to the southeastern Shanxi region.

The northwestern Shanxi region is thousands of miles away from the southeastern Shanxi region. Among them are areas controlled by the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Central Army, and the Japanese Army.

It is relatively easy to pass through the control areas of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. At least they are friendly forces on the surface.

But it is not that easy to pass through the Japanese-controlled areas.

Of course, with the current combat effectiveness of the 129th Division, it is not difficult to remove these Japanese strongholds and then pass through their occupied areas.

But in this way, the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army were exposed.

Therefore, what is really difficult is to pass through the Japanese-occupied areas quietly, and the speed must be fast.

Otherwise, even if the Japanese army did not know the specific movements of the 129th Division, it would not be able to hide the fact that so many of the main troops of the 129th Division suddenly disappeared from the northwestern Shanxi region.

Therefore, the 129th Division must arrive at the southeastern Shanxi area as quickly as possible before the Japanese army can react, or before the Japanese army's trap is fully deployed.

In the meantime, the 129th Division will leave part of its troops to continue recruiting troops and causing trouble in the northwestern region of Shanxi, in order to confuse the little devils...

The whole meeting was very long. After all, although the 129th Division only had 4 main regiments in name, it had developed about 30 "black household regiments" without establishment. In total, there were more than 30 regiments, nearly 10

More than ten thousand people.

To successfully transfer so many people to the southeastern Shanxi region thousands of miles away is no small project, and one must be careful to avoid any mistakes.

The meeting lasted until 12 midnight and ended.

This is only the action plan of each brigade. As for the action plan at the regiment level, it is deployed by each brigade commander.
