Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 464 The news reached Chongqing, the excited chairman

mountain city.

Huangshan mansion.

The chairman had just woken up and was eating breakfast in the restaurant when the head of the guard, Wang Shihe, suddenly rushed in from the outside with a message.

"Committee, good news! Good news!"

The chairman suddenly raised his head and asked, "What good news? Is there any good news from Zaoyi?"

Hearing this, the expression on Wang Shihe's face suddenly froze.

Since the outbreak of the Songhu Battle in 37, the Chinese army has retreated steadily and lost thousands of miles. Even if they can win a few small victories occasionally, they cannot reverse the overall situation at all.

Not long ago, the Japanese army assembled two divisions and several detachments, with a total of more than 11 people, and launched an attack on the Zaoyi area where the fifth theater was stationed.

The battle situation is still the same as usual. Although the national army is resisting steadily, it is also retreating steadily.

Once the Zaoyi area is completely lost, the Japanese army can completely control the area north of the Yangtze River, and can attack Hunan if it wins. If it goes west, it will go straight to Sichuan and Shu, threatening the accompanying capital Chongqing.

Once the southwest falls again, the whole of China will basically perish.

Therefore, since the outbreak of the Zaoyi Battle, the chairman has hardly had a good night's sleep.

Wang Shihe is not only the chairman's bodyguard, but also the chairman's nephew. Seeing the chairman working all night and his health getting worse day by day, he feels distressed!

Immediately said: "It's not the Zaoyi area, but the good news from the second war zone in the north."

As soon as he heard that it wasn't the good news from the Zaoyi area, the chairman's interest suddenly sank, and he asked with a frown: "In the second theater, Yan Laoxi has always wanted to preserve his strength, and it is impossible to take the initiative to attack.

As for Junru, he had intentions, but there was a division of the Japanese army stationed outside Zhongtiao Mountain, so it was not a problem for him to protect himself, and it was almost impossible for him to take the initiative to attack and obtain results. "

The chairman immediately explained the situation in the second war zone. After speaking, he suddenly realized something. He changed the subject and said, "Could it be the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party?"

Without waiting for Wang Shihe to answer, he asked himself and answered: "According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army assembled its forces and launched an attack on the Japanese strongholds along the Zhengtai, Tongpu, and Ping-Han railways the night before, although they took down some small outlying strongholds. , achieved some results.

But these victories are not enough to threaten Zhengtai, Tongpu, and Pinghan Railway, let alone the Japanese First Army. "

"Unless they can capture the large strongholds along the various railway lines."

"However, those large strongholds are different from the small strongholds on the outskirts. They not only stationed a large number of Japanese troops, but also built solid fortifications, gun towers, and bunkers.

Moreover, the Japanese army also has armored trains patrolling back and forth, providing fire reinforcements to major strongholds at any time. "

"With the weapons and equipment in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, not even a decent mountain cannon, expecting them to capture large Japanese strongholds is no different from daydreaming."

As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, the chairman needs to have an overview of the overall situation. Therefore, not only does he know all the theaters in the south, he also knows the second theater in the north.

Especially his old opponent, the Communist Party's Eighth Route Army.

After the chairman finished speaking, Wang Shihe finally interrupted, saying: "Commissioner, your analysis is good. Under normal circumstances, it would be really difficult for the Eighth Route Army to capture large Japanese strongholds.

But the problem lies precisely in the armored train! "

"Last night, the Eighth Route Army hijacked the armored train of the Japanese army by some unknown method, and then carried the artillery fire from the armored train to fight all the way from Niangziguan to Yangquan.

Not only took four large strongholds of Niangziguan, Pingping, Jucheng and Donghui, but also took back the two counties of Pingding and Yangquan one after another, and wiped out all the Japanese garrison in the above-mentioned strongholds and counties!

Even Masaomi Yasuoka, the brigade commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Yangquan County, was killed by the guns of the Eighth Route Army. "

"What are you guys?" The chairman of the committee was taken aback when he heard the words, and he asked in disbelief: "Shihe, you said that the Eighth Route Army not only captured the four large strongholds of Niangziguan, Pingping, Jucheng and Donghui, Also took back Pingding and Yangquan counties?"

"Yes!" Wang Shihe nodded heavily.

The chairman knew that Wang Shihe would never lie to him, and he didn't dare to joke about such a thing, but he still couldn't believe it: "It's suitable, is the news true?"

Wang Shihe: "The news is absolutely true! Not only did our intelligence personnel in the southeast of Shanxi send such information, but our intelligence personnel stationed in the Japanese First Army and its Eighth Route Army also sent back the same information!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Shihe handed the three translated messages to the Chairman of the Committee.

These three telegrams were sent back from the military command station in southeast Shanxi, the military command personnel lurking inside the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese First Army. Although the messages were not exactly the same, they were not very different.

After reading the telegram and getting the exact information, the chairman almost shed tears of excitement. There is no other reason. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he is under too much pressure in the face of the defeating war zones.

"Good, good, good! That's great!"

The chairman said three "good" words in a row, and Wang Shihe also showed a gratified smile on his face.

Chen Cixiu, who was accompanying the chairman to eat, frowned and said: "Although the Eighth Route Army has achieved a series of victories this time, it is actually inseparable from the bloody battles of the Fifth Theater in the Zaoyi area.

If they hadn't attracted a large number of main Japanese forces in the south, it would have been impossible for the Japanese forces in Shanxi to be empty. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army would naturally not be able to achieve such a big victory. "

Of course the Chairman knew what Chen Cixiu meant. The Central Army was retreating steadily, and the Eighth Route Army was short of successive victories. To them, this was a very embarrassing thing.

The chairman of the committee was unconcerned and said, "Cixiu, although what you said is correct, the Eighth Route Army's successive successes this time are all due to the fact that the North China Japanese Army dispatched a large number of troops to the south, leaving all the troops in the north empty.

But in any case, the victory of the Eighth Route Army is still very beneficial to the overall strategic situation. "

After a pause, the chairman suddenly smiled deeply and said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, immediately electrify the Eighth Route Army's great victory last night and reward the whole army!"

"At the same time, call Li Delin to tell the fifth theater to fight with all his strength, and tell them that the final victory will definitely belong to us, and it must belong to us only!"

"Yes!"

Wang Shihe responded, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the chairman: "Wait a minute."

Wang Shihe looked at the chairman suspiciously, and asked for instructions: "Commissioner, do you have any other instructions?"

Chairman: "It is not enough to electrify the three armed forces. A press conference must be held. Through the media, the citizens of the country will know the great victory of the 18th Army, and that our National Revolutionary Army can also win the battle. !

The Japanese army is not invincible! "
