Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Zhang Riming nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Chief, that's how the information shows."

Yan Laoxi did not doubt the authenticity of this information, because the intelligence department would definitely not dare to joke about it, and it was not a big secret, as long as a little investigation, you can find out, the only difference is the time sooner or later.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yan Laoxi asked again: "How did the Japanese army react then?"

Zhang Riming: "Currently, the Japanese army has not taken any action. It just asked the large-scale strongholds to strengthen their defenses. They did not reveal their attempts to regain the lost strongholds. They did not even send scouts to collect intelligence on the Eighth Route Army."

Yan Laoxi nodded, and asked again: "What do you think about this?"

Fu Yisheng said: "Boss, the commander of the Eighth Route Army is really amazing. As far as I know, their radio stations are equipped to the brigade level, and the news transmission below can only rely on the cavalry communicators.

Under the condition of such backward communication conditions, there was no mistake in commanding such a large-scale operation.

The most important thing is that they also found the right timing for the battle, just when the Battle of Zaoyi in the south broke out, the Japanese army in North China was empty, and the Japanese army in Central China could not withdraw.

It is not difficult to see that the Eighth Route Army must have made a careful plan for this attack, and it has been prepared for a long time, and it is definitely not a temporary intention. "

Yan Laoxi: "That's not what I said."

Fu Yisheng came to his senses immediately, and said, "Boss, are you asking if we are going to send troops?"

The next moment, without waiting for Yan Laoxi to speak, Fu Yisheng asked himself and answered: "At present, the Japanese army in North China is empty, especially the 1st Army, they are already unable to defend against the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

I think this is a good time for our Jinsui Army and even the entire Second Theater to launch a counterattack.

I dare to conclude that this counterattack will achieve miraculous results and be a great success. Even if Taiyuan cannot be regained, it will definitely cause huge losses to the Japanese army and lay a solid foundation for the victory of the War of Resistance. "

Yan Laoxi also wanted to drive away the Japanese army, and even more wanted to take back Taiyuan, which was his stronghold. The city of Taiyuan was lost, so how could he have the nerve to call him the King of Shanxi?
However, compared with the Japanese army, what he is more afraid of right now is the Eighth Route Army, which has suddenly demonstrated its huge combat effectiveness.

Seeing that Yan Laoxi hadn't spoken for a long time, a lieutenant general officer who took advantage of the devil immediately understood, and said: "Boss, I think the proposal of the deputy chief is not advisable."

Yan Laoxi couldn't say some things in person, so he could only say them through his subordinates.

For example, passively resisting the war, he can't say this, otherwise his position as the commander-in-chief of the second war zone will not be secure, and no one will convince him.

Why can the chairman command the three armies, at least on the surface, to unify the command power and firmly grasp the military power of the whole country.

It is because of them that he expressed his attitude to resolutely resist the Japanese, otherwise no one would be fooled by him, let alone obey him.

Warlords from all over the country usually fight civil wars, and they can do whatever they want, but if they choose to retreat or even surrender in the face of national justice, then he will definitely be condemned by the army and people all over the country, and even his subordinates will definitely defect one after another, and finally lose their status. .

Speaking of which, many warlords were actually framed to resist the war.

But there is also no shortage of loving generals who are dedicated to fighting the war and will do whatever it takes to do so.

For example, the officers of the Sichuan Army who fought the civil war for decades and claimed that the civil war was like a worm and an external war was like a dragon.

Among them, General Liu Xiang, the supreme commander of the Sichuan Army, went to the expedition in spite of illness, and vowed to atone for the crimes of the Sichuan Army's 20-year civil war with a bloody battle, so as to wash away the notoriety that the Sichuan Army only "fights civil war".

To the end of the Anti-Japanese War, it remained unswerving, that is, if the enemy army did not withdraw from the border, the Sichuan army would never return home.

For this oath, millions of Bashu men went to the front without hesitation, spilling blood on the battlefield.

There are not only General Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division who defended Teng County to the death, did not back down half a step when he ran out of ammunition and food, and thus made a heroic sacrifice.

There are millions of Sichuan Army soldiers.

They were scattered and dispatched to the front lines everywhere, and they could not get the necessary supplies. In addition, the equipment was too simple, and the elite Japanese army was often tough on the front, that is, they were the ones who charged forward in the "dirty and hard work".In addition to the famous generals of the Sichuan army who died in battle, the more sacrificed were those soldiers who were unknown during their lifetime and whose addresses and names were not even known after their deaths.

But for all of this, the people of Sichuan did not complain at all. If the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible!While saving food and clothing and tightening their belts to support China's frontline war of resistance, they sent nearly 300 million children to the frontline of the war with tears in their eyes.

It is precisely because the people of Bashu have "full of blood to kill the enemy and serve the country" and the determination of the soldiers who came out of Sichuan to "not drive the Japanese invaders out of the country and swear not to return alive", so the Sichuan army can "be brave in the battle and fight fiercely, compared with The other Kuomintang troops in the country are also not ashamed."

In addition, there is also General Zhang Zizhong who died in the Battle of Zaoyi. He is also the highest general who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Originally he could have evacuated, but he chose to face death calmly, because he wanted to use his own death to awaken more Chinese people to take up arms and fight against the Japanese invaders!
Before he died, facing the advice of his subordinates to retreat, he even said the words that shocked the people of the country: "I will not leave. If Tianjin is not defended, I will leave; if Peiping will not be defended, I will go; if North China will not be held, I will still Let's go, I, Zhang Zizhong, will not leave today!"

In the 21st century, these words are still moving, and even more indignant, inspiring the people of the country, wishing to go back to the era of the War of Resistance against the Japanese invaders...

Of course, generals Liu Xiang, Wang Mingzhang and Zhang Zizhong are not the only patriotic generals.

There are many such patriotic generals, and there are even more patriotic soldiers and people.

Every time a nation is at a critical moment of survival, there will be one after another or even countless patriots who will stand up without hesitation, even if the last drop of blood in the body is shed, there will be no complaints.

It is precisely because of this that the Chinese nation has been able to survive the crisis of life and death again and again, and it will still stand on top of the world after 5000 years.

Don't you see, if you compare history to a poker table, and nations to poker players.

In the long river of time, the poker players have changed one crop after another, but the Chinese nation has always sat on the poker table.

Occasionally late, but never absent...

The writing is off, the writing is off, and the book is back to the main story.

Yan Laoxi was very satisfied with what this subordinate said. He set his eyes on this man's face and asked, "Oh? How should I say it?"

Lieutenant General: "The reason is very simple. The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has yet to be verified, and we don't know the specific intentions of the Eighth Route Army. If they take these strongholds, they will retreat directly.

We rashly dispatched troops, and the Japanese army, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent their anger, would definitely use us as a punching bag. At that time, the Eighth Route Army would take all the benefits, and let us wipe the fart. "
