Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 684 Mountain City’s Award Telegram

Mountain city, Huangshan official residence.

Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's room, held a telegram and excitedly found the old man who was taking a lunch break.

"Principal, good news, good news!"

The old man who was woken up from his rest got up and sat on the bed, his face was full of tiredness: "Mu Yin, what good news makes you so excited?"

"Principal, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army are fighting in North China. According to the reports from the frontline departments, the number of troops on both sides is at least 30. Most of the main force of the Japanese North China Front Army participated in the battle. The Eighth Route Army's base in North China is except for the Taihang base where its headquarters is located. None of the bases were spared, and all of them were swept by the Japanese army!" Qian Dajun, holding a piece of information from an unknown source, excitedly reported it to the old man.

"Oh, is this information true?" Hearing this, the old man stood up from the bed with a cane.

"It's true, it's absolutely true. The scale of the battle and the number of troops involved will only be more complicated than what the intelligence said!" Qian Dajun was not sure. Summing up the battle situation, even Qian Dajun himself is skeptical about the authenticity of this information.

"Okay, the government is in the rear, and can only sit back and watch the Eighth Route Army grow stronger behind the enemy line, but there is nothing to do. This time, in the name of destroying the United Front, it can consume the strength of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army at the same time. It is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! "

Qian Dajun was taken aback when he heard the words. He agreed with what the old man said earlier, but he really didn't figure out the good opportunity he said at the end.

The national army troops in the first war zone seemed to be elite troops, but in fact, most of the central army was dispatched to the south of the Yellow River to stick to it, and most of the troops stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area were miscellaneous troops in the national army.

"That's it, that's it!"

"Is this your personal idea or the idea of ​​a group of people?" The boss glanced at the little officer in front of him: "You can have ideas, but you have to understand that the reason why you do all this is for Qianqian who is in the clutches of the Japanese army." Wanwan’s notification was made, and it was also for the better survival of our Eighth Route Army in the future, so you must not learn from him, Jiang!”

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Chief of Staff Teng, who is far away in Luoyang, has just summarized the current situation by telegram.

"Send a commendation telegram to the Eighth Route Army, appreciating its initiative to fight against the Japanese army, and hope that it will achieve another victory after the Hundred Regiments War!"

Seeing the old man's attitude, Qian Dajun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, the newly appointed deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Mr. Teng, has arrived in Luoyang at this moment. .

"However, no matter what the outcome of this North China war is, it will affect the situation in the country and Southeast Asia. Such a credit should be rewarded!" The old man bit the credit very hard.

"Chief of Staff, I think Li Yunlong's troops can be retreated. The fire is about the same. According to Li Yunlong's telegram, if the fight continues, the Japanese army of the [-]th Division may be scared!"

"Principal, the students are incompetent. The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army have been fighting for a short time, so it is impossible to calculate the odds of victory for both sides. However, the students believe that after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, the strength of both sides will suffer greatly. Our army can wait and see the changes in the situation. We should focus on preserving our strength and plan for follow-up!" Qian Dajun tried his best to persuade him.

"At the same time, it is necessary to strictly order the troops on the front line not to go out without permission, and not a single ammunition can flow into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!"

Qian Dajun trembled in his heart, you didn't think so before, and hoped that the old man would never have any unreasonable thoughts. The whole national army thought it would be good to sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight.

"Mu Yin, from your point of view, this time the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army are fighting, who will win? The troops in the mountainous area are elites who can deal with the Japanese army in the enemy's rear. Are we going to miss this good opportunity? I have the advantage at this time!" asked the old man.

"The Eighth Route Army is our confidant's serious trouble. The attitude of the Americans and the Eighth Route Army is extremely ambiguous, so we have to guard against it!"

The conversation was divided into two parts. In the headquarters, Zhou Weihan and the deputy chief of staff were studying the battle situation on the front line.

Since Li Moan took office, the military discipline of the national army in the first war zone has rapidly deteriorated. Due to the barren land in the Zhongtiao Mountain area and the numerous tax items of the national army, local people have even aroused resentment. This is because the old man himself was kept in the dark.

"Damn it, it's really not a big deal to watch the excitement. He, Jiang, is only so tolerant. With his talent, at best, he can be the headmaster of the Whampoa Military Academy!" The boss read the award telegram After reading the content, he immediately slapped the table hard.

Qian Dajun understood the old man's idea of ​​sending a reward telegram to the Eighth Route Army. After leaving, he immediately ordered the attendant to send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

"Yes!" The secretary scratched his head and responded hastily.

After the old man heard this, he slammed the crutch on the wooden board several times, as if venting his dissatisfaction. After a long time, he sighed: "God treats me so poorly, and treats the Eighth Route Army so generously, but young talents Can't be used by me!"

"Yes, the student understands!" Qian Dajun nodded quickly in response.

"What do you mean, principal?"

"Boss, we can't be too serious from now on. Before, when the Japanese army attacked the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain and Changzhi area, our Eighth Route Army stopped the enemy's reinforcements at all costs. It's fine if we don't replenish ammunition after the war. In the newspapers of the Kuomintang-controlled area in the rear, there is not even a single word about our Eighth Route Army, isn't it worth it!" A young officer at the headquarters said dissatisfiedly.

"At the same time, the Japanese army of the 35th Division that was fighting with Wuqin was too aggressive, and both the enemy and us suffered heavy casualties, so the Japanese army of the [-]th Division must be wiped out as soon as possible!" Zhou Weihan said in a deep voice.

The situation on the battlefield was beyond Zhou Weihan's expectations. The Japanese army seemed to be desperate. As the number of casualties increased, they continued to attack the Eighth Route Army's defense line.

Although the casualties of the 40rd, 35th, and [-]th regiments were also not small, Zhou Weihan did not dare to order the Wuqin troops to retreat at this meeting like when he was holding a combat meeting. Converged with the Japanese army of the Sixteenth Division.

"Then let the troops of the Southwest Military Sub-division retreat first, lead the Japanese army into an ambush, and try to wipe out the Japanese army of the [-]th Division during the daytime today!" Said.
