Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 249 Reaction of the Parties
After the secret conversation at the Huangshan official residence, the military and political department was astonishingly efficient, and immediately issued combat orders to various theaters in North China.

The [-]th Army and the New Fifth Army of the National Army in the Hebei-Chahar Theater, the [-]st Army and the New Eighth Army in the Sulu Theater, and the first part of the Jinsui Army in the southeast of Shanxi all responded. In addition, the local guerrilla columns , The momentum is quite large.

Jinsui Army 358 Regiment Headquarters.

"Brother Ligong, what do you think of what I said?" Chu Yunfei took the telegram and looked at Fang Ligong with a smile.

"The regiment is very predictable. The Eighth Route Army used a route to pass through our defense area. It really is a big move!" Fang Ligong said.

"The Eighth Route Army was fighting in the front, but it was a pity that they couldn't provide support at that time, so they could only watch the fun from behind, but it's not too late now, the military government and the World War II zone chief's department have issued an order, and it's time for our 358th regiment to help out! "Chu Yunfei stood up suddenly. The purpose of saying this was mainly to Fang Ligong, the chief of staff, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Send me an order. The whole regiment must gather immediately and distribute the ammunition. Except for those left behind, they must arrive at Du Village where the First Battalion is located tonight!"

"Yes!" Fang Ligong nodded in response, Shangfeng issued an order, and he, the chief of staff, couldn't say much at this time, so he immediately started to arrange.

For the next military operation of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei had already planned, but it was not because of Shangfeng's order to avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese army for the time being.

This point has already appeared since Chu Yunfei sent out his equipment and the New Second Regiment sent troops to seize the Du Village stronghold in Anze.

Lintun Highway runs from Linfen to Tunliu, passes through Anze, and is located in the south of Anze County.

The main force of the 358th regiment is located in Jiangjunling, the border between Anze and Changzi. The Du Village, where the first battalion is located, is less than [-] miles away from Liangma Town, an important stronghold on the Lintun Highway, and its location is extremely prominent.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The heads of the headquarters are discussing the "Chidian Award" sent by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.

"This is too stingy, a few telegrams sent us away!" said a staff officer at the headquarters.

"He often sees our Eighth Route Army as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. During the previous negotiations, it took me a lot of effort to finalize the issue of the [-] replacement military salary!" The deputy chief of staff shook his head and said.

"This battle of our Eighth Route Army was not fought for someone else, but for the [-] million compatriots. It was fought for our Eighth Route Army itself. Without food and wages, we can produce by ourselves, and without weapons supplies, we can go to the Japanese army to rob it!" The boss said angrily. Said loudly.

"The Hundred Regiments War was inspiring. It made Chang Kaishen see hope and extinguished his desire for peace talks with the Japanese army. At the same time, it also extinguished the capitulation faction within the Nationalist Government!" The boss said and looked at everyone.

"According to the Southern Bureau's intelligence, Chang Kaishen is still old-fashioned, and has already deported and detained the internal surrender faction, which shows that his attitude has changed!"

"As far as the international situation and the recent actions of the Japanese army are concerned, the Japanese army will never let go of its war attempt in Southeast Asia. The appeasement policy of Britain and the United States will not last long. From this point of view, once Chang Kaishen really signs an agreement with the Japanese army, his political life will be greatly reduced. Ended, and finally abandoned by the people and Britain and the United States behind it!"

"If this is the case, the United Kingdom and the United States will immediately support Feng of the Northwest Army and Li of the Guangxi Faction, which are often at odds with each other, to come to power and form a new national government to continue the resistance against Japan!"

"At that time, Chang, like Wang, will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

"From a certain point of view, our Eighth Route Army can be said to have saved Chang Kaishen's life!" The deputy chief of staff expressed his opinion, with a few words, but it hit the nail on the head, expressing the future direction.

"As long as the national army does not take the initiative to engage in friction, the two sides will be safe and sound, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. Now it seems that the national army everywhere in North China is making moves. Even if they do not take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, they will attack our Eighth Route Army." The next combat operations will play a supporting role!" The boss finally said.

The intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army has been done well. As soon as the national army took action, intelligence from all over the country was transmitted to the headquarters.

Japanese First Army Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka was holding a battle meeting, and everyone present was holding a battle report summarizing the battle situation.

"Your Excellency, General, with all due respect, our army's intelligence work needs to be strengthened. The main force of the Eighth Route Army passed through the outlying strongholds and launched an attack on our transportation line. Before this, the intelligence department hadn't even noticed the Eighth Route Army's troop mobilization!" The head of the class took the lead in attacking.

"Your Excellency, although the imperial army has built strongholds on the outskirts of the Eighth Route Army's base area according to the main traffic routes, China's area is vast and the terrain is changeable. No matter how tight the blockade is, the Eighth Route Army still has an opportunity! All the people who were inserted in were found out!" The head of the intelligence section carefully reported.

"The reason why the imperial army suffered heavy casualties was that the Eighth Route Army not only received the support of the people, but also was able to be "light as an ape" in guerrilla warfare."

"The work of the Eighth Route Army has penetrated into the masses. The villagers, like the slogan of "Empty rooms and clearing the fields", almost escaped and disappeared, and actively assisted the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, during the battle, the movements of the Imperial Army were leaked to the Eighth Route Army in detail, but In the imperial army, the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army is completely unknown."

"Moreover, the actions of the Eighth Route Army are erratic. They only stay in one place for a few days before transferring. In the steep mountainous areas, their guerrilla operations are very flexible. On the contrary, the actions of the Imperial Army are due to the use of horses to carry luggage. The equipment is too heavy, and it looks very cumbersome compared to the Eighth Route Army, which is as light as apes. Therefore, no matter how desperately you pursue it, it is difficult to achieve great results." The chief of the intelligence section obviously has a deep understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned after hearing this, the snowflake-like telegrams from all over the place had already made him dizzy, he slapped the table, and said: "Okay, gentlemen, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, the imperial army in North China The rule is already in jeopardy, and we need the joint efforts of the kings!"

"Hi!" Everyone bowed their heads after hearing this.

"General, in my opinion, Taiyuan, as the provincial capital of Shanxi, the base camp of our First Army, and the independent Ninth Mixed Brigade defending Taiyuan should not act rashly, and since the situation in Shanxi has been corrupted, it is better to take the initiative to shrink the troops and wait for Jin After Nan's troops are mobilized, wait for the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Shouyang and Yangquan on the Zhengtai line must not be lost!" Chief of Staff Jun Miyano said.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, according to the news from our intelligence personnel in the first theater, the China Military and Political Department has issued a combat order, and the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain has issued ammunition, ready to go, and ready to move!" said the intelligence section chief. Come out with a piece of information.

"Hmph, this is just an exaggeration. The Central Army of Zhongtiao Mountain has been relying on the terrain and fortifications to retreat, and never dared to take the initiative to launch an offensive. If it really dared to take the initiative to launch an offensive, it would be a chance to wipe out the Central Army!" Miyano Jun said.

"I really hope that the leader of the national army will get a head start. Even if a large part of Shanxi falls, as long as Taiyuan is not lost, the current strength and supplies of the three divisions are enough to wipe out the active central army in the field!" Yoshio Shinozuka Said.

"Order an army, shrink the troops, and don't take the initiative to fight the Eighth Route Army until the reinforcements from Jinnan arrive!"
