Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 989 The old man is determined not to be a winner!

It is now April of the 27th year of the Republic of China. If the half-year crisis in Linfen can be resolved, it will be September and October in the second half of the year.

Winter in the north comes early, and the temperature drops sharply in October, especially in mountainous areas.

For the Japanese army, marching and logistical support are even more difficult. Unless they gather heavy troops to launch a large-scale battle like last year, the Japanese army will definitely delay until the beginning of spring and the weather turns warmer, which can almost last another year.

As for the old man from Shanxi, what he lacks the most is not the army or supplies, what he lacks is time.

In this one year, he can do a lot of things, such as being transferred to the arsenal in Chang'an and Guangyuan, he will have more weapons and equipment; for example, the battle situation in northern Jiangsu and central China has changed, and the military order may have been loosened. , to retreat to Shaanxi Province and even Sichuan Province; or, he can negotiate with the Japanese side whose offensive has slowed down.
Who said that war must be played on the battlefield?Sometimes lip service is okay, as long as it meets the interests of both parties, both parties can accept it.

The Shanxi old man has already matured in this trick of walking a tightrope and playing balance in the siege of multiple interest groups, and the Japanese even secretly sent personnel to contact him a long time ago.

However, under the current national anti-Japanese war, the Shanxi old man dared not touch this high-tension line no matter how courageous he was, and it was very likely that he would be nailed to the shame of the entire nation.

The Shanxi old man is a very selfish person, but he is also a smart person. Unless he is in a desperate situation, he will never put himself on the opposite side of a country and nation.

He was born in this country and grew up in this country. He knows his own nation very well. Maybe he will not be remembered for a long time for his dedication to the country and the people all his life, but if he betrays him, it is really not a lie.

Don't you see the Yuefei Temple by the West Lake, the bronze statues of the Qin couple have been kneeling there for people to cast aside!

But with this year as a buffer period, many things may change.

You said, is the temptation thrown by Tang Dao big enough for this person?
"You mean, if the Japanese invaders want to attack me in Linfen, they must overcome the defense line in the Taihang Mountains in the southeast of Shanxi. Do you think the strategic defense focus of the war zone should be placed on the Taihang Mountains?" It seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Should we secretly transfer troops to the Taihang Mountains, or should we add more ordnance, equipment and supplies to our theater troops in the Taihang Mountains?"

"No need, now the Taihang Mountain defense line has a division and a regiment of our 22nd Army, a division of the 6th Army, and a division each of the Jinsui Army and the Northwest Army. There may be shortages, but defense alone is no problem. Although the military supplies are slightly insufficient, they can still be supported until after the war." Tang Dao shook his head.

"You don't want soldiers or equipment and supplies, so you take the risk to talk about it with me, the commander of the theater, Commander Tang, you're making me a little confused!" The Shanxi old man was very straightforward this time. .

Don't want any benefits, just to talk about the battle situation with the chief, Tang Dao's unselfish behavior is somewhat out of this world.

"Mr. Yan, regardless of the safety of Linfen, what will happen if our Second War Zone in the Southeast Shanxi Defense War can annihilate more than [-] Japanese invaders?" Tang Dao did not answer the question directly, but asked again.

"2?" The Shanxi old man gasped and stared at Tang Dao for a while.

Finally resisted the urge to throw this ignorant kid out of the door.

How powerful the Japanese army is, he, the commander of the second theater who has been fighting the Japanese army for 7 months, probably knows better than 90.00% of the Chinese.

In the Battle of Xinkou, the Japanese army dispatched a total of less than 8 people with the Fifth Division as the core, while the Chinese army participated in the battle, including the 30th Army, with a total of nearly [-] troops, more than three times the strength of the opponent. You have to say Heavy firepower, the Shanxi old man took out ten artillery regiments at the bottom of the press box, no less than the Japanese army!

If the Japanese army were to say that they were stronger, it was mainly due to their superiority in the air. Japanese fighter planes were constantly roaring in the sky. The Chinese air force was pitifully small, but the superiority on the ground was all in China.

But even so, China was still defeated.

This kind of large-scale battle with a total of more than 30 troops participating in the battle, the Chinese side suffered 10 casualties. How many Japanese troops are there?However, at around 2, the battle loss ratio between the attacker and the defender reached a chilling 1:5.

The old man in Shanxi knew that the big defeat was not because his Jinsui Army and other friendly troops did not work hard. During the entire Xinkou Battle, an army commander, a division commander, and two brigade commanders were killed. If officers of all levels went to the front and sacrificed themselves, it might not be hard work?That is really unbeatable.

Just like this, a small regiment leader actually told him that he wanted to wipe out more than 2 Japanese invaders.

"That's right, it's 2!" Tang Dao puffed up his chest and reiterated the number under the unbelievable eyes of the old Shanxi man. "It's not like I haven't seen the corpses of 2 Japanese before, Tang Dao."

Only then did the Shanxi old man suddenly remember that Tang Dao was the head of the regiment, but he was the head of the infantry regiment with the name of the Four Elements.

This guy has played as many Japanese army numbers, perhaps not much less than him, the commander of the theater.

In the Battle of Sixing Warehouse, they fought against a Japanese infantry regiment. In the Battle of Songjiang, they fought against the Tenth Army of the Japanese invaders with an army of 14. They fought against the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade in the Battle of Jiaxing. They fought against the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade in the Battle of Guangde. Part of the Fifth Division, which was showing off its might in front of him, fought the 108th Division in the Battle of Bihe, and in the southeast of Shanxi, it beat the 109th and [-]th Divisions.

Just as he had thought before, Tang Dao was not some son of a son who was lying on the credit book and eating his money in the battle of the Sixing Warehouse, but a general who fought a hundred battles.

How could such a person rely on bragging?
"You have also seen the results of the Battle of Taierzhuang. From top to bottom in the fifth war zone, medals were awarded for free. Almost all the army's military ranks were promoted. In the newspaper, his old Li was even more radiant. In my second battle District, don’t say anything about 2 or not, it’s 2, I can guarantee that the old man, all the officers and soldiers who participated in the war will not be treated worse than his fifth theater.” The old man from Shanxi said enviously .

"As long as you support me, Officer Yan, then I, Tang Dao, will dare to take my head on my neck and give you a guarantee. As long as the Japanese invaders attack us in the southeast of Shanxi, [-] will be the base, [-] will be qualified, and there will be no upper limit." Tang Dao raised his head. He replied forcefully with his chest up.

"It's good to have confidence. It's not necessary to take your head. You still have a bright day here, and I, the commander of the theater, don't have the ability to cut off your baby's head." The old man from Shanxi pointed to Tang Dao's chest Medal, a rare joke.

Regardless of whether Tang Dao is talking big or not, his incomparably strong self-confidence is always good.If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be more conceited, but for an infantry commander like Tang Dao who had wiped out thousands of Japanese invaders, he could only be confident.

The two medals on Tang Dao's chest were piled up from the bloody corpses of the Japanese.

"You said, apart from the strength and equipment, how can I support the old man?" The Shanxi old man finally came to his senses, and Tang Dao was finally about to play his cards.

"The Japanese invaders were successively attacked by our troops in the Taihang Mountains in March and April and suffered huge losses. They must be wary of our troops. If they invade, their strength must be no less than three divisions.

As for the dangerous roads in the mountainous areas, the Japanese army will definitely not invest heavily in only one area. They must have divided their troops into multiple groups. One is to hope to defeat them all. , As a result, our defenders in various places can only fight alone, without foreign aid outside, and without supplies inside, it is bound to collapse.

Therefore, as a member of my defense line in the southeast of Shanxi, I hope that Commander Yan will unify the command and use one person as a general to command all the troops in the southeast of Shanxi. He can effectively hold his fingers together and form an iron fist. . "Tang Dao continued.

Tang Dao's ventilation analysis is not based on empty imagination. He is based on the fact that not long after the battle of Xiangtangpu in time and space, the Japanese North China Front Army, which became angry and angry, entangled each of the three major infantry divisions, with a total strength of 3. People, launched a mad attack on the southeast of Shanxi.

At that time, the Japanese army was divided into nine routes, from Hanchang Highway in the south, Zhengtai Road in the north, Tongpu Road in the west, Pinghan Road in the east, and 9 routes from Boai, HD, Xingtai, Shimen, Yangquan, Yuci, and Changzhi. Marching in the direction of the town, a large square encirclement was formed, and the encirclement was implemented centripetally.

The tactical concept of the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters is "separate advance and joint attack", and the operational principle is "expand broadly, compress and compress to annihilate!" '.

It is also fortunate that this principle was not widely advertised on the radio, otherwise the Japanese in various anti-Japanese dramas spoke Chinese 'great! ' Really found the source.

But it can also be seen from this that it is really not that the Chinese are blacking the Japanese. The Japanese are really so rigid in learning Chinese. kind.

And this time and space, because Tang Dao, a little butterfly that broke through the sky, waved its wings, and there was a small change from the previous time and space. Tang Dao predicted that the Japanese North China Front Army, which had suffered a big loss, would never underestimate China hidden in the depths of the Taihang Mountains. Army, it is very likely that the three divisions are no longer just one of them, but more than 80.00% may be the main force of the three divisions. That will be an army of more than 7 people, and the total strength even surpasses all the troops in the Taihang Mountains. The sum of the Chinese army.

In the past time and space, the ultimate reason for the failure of the Japanese army's crazy attack, apart from the tenacious resistance of the Chinese army, is inseparable from the wise choice of the old Shanxi man.

It wasn't until the Japanese army set off that if the southeast of Shanxi was lost, Linfen would also be in danger. The commander in charge of the second theater finally made up his mind. All Chinese troops, and additional troops were sent to the battle in the southeast of Shanxi.

The unified command, the [-]th Army's growing strength in half a year, all exceeded the pre-war projections of the Japanese army. Knowing oneself and not knowing the enemy, the location and harmony are all on the Chinese side. Who will lose if they are undefeated?

Tang Dao was afraid that if there was something he couldn't think about, he wouldn't delegate his command, causing the nearly [-] troops in southeast Shanxi to fight on their own, which would be as the Japanese army wanted.

"It's feasible to be commanded by the general of Jindongnan!" The Shanxi old man walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, asking seemingly casually. "Then who do you think is qualified?"

"Commander-in-Chief of the [-]th Group Army, he is one of the most famous generals in the second theater, and his military rank is the highest in the southeast of Shanxi. The military orders issued by the theater are under his command, and no one refuses to accept it!" Tang Dao didn't hide. with.

This old fox in front of him, if Tang Dao hesitates or speaks insincerely, it is very likely that this small-minded person will think about it for a long time, it is better to be blunt, besides, what Tang Dao said is all the truth.

The rank of the commander of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army is enough, but he is now leading a part of the 22nd Army to fight in Xuzhou. Besides, who else is qualified to be compared with the [-]th Army?

Could it be possible to use the lieutenant general to command the general to fight?
Of course, this kind of situation is not unprecedented, but first you have to prove that you have that ability, let alone the second theater, just look at the whole country, is there such a famous general?
"Well! What you said coincides with what I think!" The Shanxi old man was very satisfied with Tang Dao's frankness, and nodded. "Just now, I was still thinking that the garrison in southeast Shanxi is still too small. If the generals are the commander-in-chief, he can transfer the other main force of the [-]th Army back to southeast Shanxi to participate in this battle."

Well, this guy has started acting like a demon again, playing the trick of killing two birds with one stone, killing three birds with one stone.

Of course, Tang Dao knew what this man wanted to do. Northwest Shanxi is now basically occupied by the Japanese army. The 511 Division, another main force under the [-]th Group Army, is fighting behind the enemy lines. It's denser.

This one, I feel uncomfortable.

As a 'victim', the old man from Shanxi has personally experienced how powerful the Eightieth Army's ideals and propaganda methods are. The whole of China will say that the only person he fears is the principal who is politically sophisticated and turns his hands into clouds and rain. Besides, I am afraid that they are the second.

No, taking this opportunity, he played tricks again.

However, these Tang swords can't be controlled, it's all a game between the upper class.

Whether to shoot the invading Japanese army through the heart, or smash it with a hammer, or hide in the corner of the street, put on a sack and then serve them with bricks, is what middle-level people like Tang Dao should do.

"Okay, Captain Tang, your suggestion is really good. If you have any other requirements, please tell them together. I will satisfy the old man and do my best." The Shanxi old man should be in a good mood at the moment, and he made a rare promise.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Tang Dao basically only talking about things and not making too many demands. Otherwise, if you expect the old man who only eats millet porridge for dinner to say this, then the Chinese New Year will be tomorrow!
"Mr. Yan, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot. This is the list of military supplies given to me by the director of the Military Supplies Department of our regiment before I left." Send out a piece of paper to the old man from Shanxi.

The corners of the Shanxi old man's eyes twitched.

If there is no outsider present at the moment, the cunning and cunning old man slaps himself on the mouth, how could he forget that this guy in front of him is a jackal, cunning and vicious.

It's not good, he's been waiting for Lao Tzu's words all night!For this sentence, it is really a ruthless person to make such a long foreshadowing!
"Oh! Let me see what your Four Elements Group needs!" Suppressing the urge to kick Tang Dao out of the door, the Shanxi old man snorted softly from his nostrils, took the paper, and glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

Commander, the dignified general, was as dumb as a wooden chicken.

“防德国毛瑟7.9毫米口径步枪4000枝；二十响驳壳枪400把；仿汤姆森冲锋枪1000支，仿捷克轻机枪600挺；防哈奇开斯重机枪90挺；防布朗德82毫米迫击炮100门；厄利孔20毫米机关炮24门，晋造17年式75毫米山炮24门；山炮炮弹1.2万发，机关炮炮弹2.4万发，迫击炮炮弹1万发；晋造手榴弹10万枚，各式步兵雷2万个；各式子弹200万发；炸药30吨。”

As far as this list of weapons is concerned, not to mention mortars, machine guns, and mountain cannons in the back, the number of 4000 rifles in the front alone almost made the old man from Shanxi go berserk.

This special man is no longer extorting people, he is here to rob.

Why, he was still the king of the Jin province before the Central Plains War, and he owned the most famous Yuancheng arsenal in all of Asia!

Based on the monthly output of the Yuancheng Arsenal at that time, it could produce 35 artillery pieces, 100 mortars, 3000 rifles, 900 counterfeit Thompson submachine guns, 15 machine guns, 1.5 shells, and 9000 mortar shells. 420 rounds, [-] million rounds of bullets.The scale of [-] workers can produce the equipment of a standard division almost a month when the raw materials are sufficient.

However, after the Central Plains War, under the control of that person, the production capacity of the original city arsenal has shrunk significantly, and now it has been robbed by the Japanese in sevens and eighty-eight. Can the remaining equipment and manpower catch up to one-tenth of the previous one? Not necessarily.

It's all so miserable, Tang Dao, a bastard, still wants to use him as a winner, do you think the old Shanxi man can't be angry?

The face of the Shanxi old man had turned from black to red, and he was about to muster up his anger and roar, "Get out!"

"Our regiment intends to pay for the purchase of the equipment on this list, and please approve it from Chief Yan!" Tang Dao said with a low eyebrow.

These words, to the Shanxi old man whose anger value has reached its peak, are like iced sour plum soup in hot summer and warm stove in winter.

In less than a second, the anger turned into joy, and he smiled: "It turns out that I have to spend money to buy it! Exactly!"
