Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 465

After listening to the chairman's words, Chen Cixiu couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, revealing a different kind of smile.

High, the chairman's move is really too high.

It can be said that killing birds with one stone.

First of all, notifying the three armies can greatly boost the confidence of the three armies that they will win the war of resistance, especially the units in the fifth theater that are fighting the Japanese army on the front line.

Secondly, notifying the major media outlets can also increase the confidence and enthusiasm of the citizens in the war of resistance.

Moreover, the chairman is talking about the military achievements of the 18th Army, and there is a lot of articles in it.

Although many people know that the 18th Army is actually the Eighth Route Army, but more people don't know this, especially ordinary people.

When they heard about the 18th Army, they subconsciously thought of the national army. In this way, the military exploits fell on the national army.

Even if someone with a heart finds something wrong, they can't find any faults.

Because the designation of the Eighth Route Army is indeed the 18th Army!
What's more, holding a press conference can slap the Japanese in the face severely, and then the Japanese army in North China can't sit still, and they are forced to transfer some troops from the Zaoyi battlefield to the north.

In this way, the pressure on the fifth theater will inevitably be reduced a lot.

At the same time, the pressure will suddenly go to the Eighth Route Army.

You must know that the chairman has always been afraid of not only the Japanese, but also the Eighth Route Army.

In particular, the military strength and combat effectiveness displayed by the Eighth Route Army in the past two days made the chairman even more worried about the future.

The Eighth Route Army's ability to develop troops is too terrifying!

And if the Japanese concentrate their efforts on the Eighth Route Army and let them hurt each other, wouldn't it be the chairman who will benefit in the end?

"Yes!"

Wang Shihe promised again, but did not leave immediately.

Sure enough, the Chairman continued to add: "Send another telegram to Yan Laoxi, asking them to find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack. Even if they can't cause many casualties to the Japanese army, the Japanese army at the foot of Luliang Mountain must not be allowed to return to defend southeast Shanxi."

Chen Cixiu said: "Commissioner, Yan Laoxi is probably unreliable."

Of course the chairman knew that Yan Laoxi was unreliable. He was an out-and-out warlord who only cared about his own interests. Let him fight the Japanese with his life, unless the Japanese refused to let him live and wanted to kill him.

Therefore, even if the chairman of the committee issued an order, Yan Laoxi would definitely obey it.

In fact, not only Yan Laoxi, but also many local warlords, and even some central military officers, often obeyed the chairman's orders.

There is no way, with soldiers in hand, they will have strength. Once the army is gone, their status will drop suddenly, and it will be easy for the chairman to deal with them.

They have to defend!

Regarding Chen Cixiu's words, the chairman also deeply agreed, because he never thought that Yan Laoxi could take the initiative to attack.

But the order still needs to be issued, and the account will be settled in the future, this is the handle!

The chairman nodded: "Cixiu, your worries are not unreasonable, so I have to give Wei Jun the following order to let him wait for the opportunity to attack the Japanese army on the outskirts of Zhongtiao Mountain. It is not required that he can destroy many Japanese troops, but At least the 36th Division of the Japanese Army must be restrained so that it cannot escape and return to southeast Shanxi!"

Chen Cixiu: "The appointment is brilliant!"

Wang Shihe wrote down the chairman's orders one by one, waited for a while, and turned to leave after confirming that there were no other instructions.

……

As the Eighth Route Army captured Niangziguan, Pingping, Jucheng, returned east, and the news of Pingding and Yangquan counties was announced to the three armies.

The soldiers of the three armies have high morale and confidence.

As far as the Central Army is concerned, even the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army can defeat the Japanese army. Why can't they?

Morale is here.

And if the morale is the highest, it has to be the fifth theater that is fighting the Japanese army in the Zaoyi area.

In particular, the exaggeration of the Chairman of the Offensive Committee and General Li Delin, the commander-in-chief, said that the Japanese 1st Army had been hit repeatedly by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and that it would not be long before the Japanese army would send troops back to aid.

At that time, their pressure will be greatly reduced, and they may even have the opportunity to take the initiative to attack and defeat the mighty Japanese army from the front!
Of course, not only the soldiers of the armed forces, but also the people of the whole country were happy.

On this day, many cities across the country are filled with shouts of newsboys marching.

"Extra, extra! The 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army recaptured Pingding and Yangquan counties, wiped out the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, and killed the head of the Japanese Major General's Brigade!"

"Extra, extra! The 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army recaptured Pingding and Yangquan counties, wiped out the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, and killed the head of the Japanese Major General's Brigade..."

On this day, the newspapers published by Central Daily, Progress Daily, Struggle Daily, Saved Daily and many other newspapers were out of stock, and major printing factories worked overtime overnight to rush to produce.

On this day, countless citizens rushed to tell each other, passing this exciting news to their neighbors, relatives and friends.

On this day, the achievements of the Eighth Route Army on the Zhengtai Railway were known throughout the country under the deliberate propaganda of the Nationalist Government.

What the chairman didn't expect was that in order to confuse some uninformed people, the chairman wanted to steal the results of the Eighth Route Army and record them on the national army.

However, there are many people who know that they are disseminating the information of the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to some people who don't know.

So, more and more people know about the Eighth Route Army, and more and more people know that the Eighth Route Army can win battles and dare to win battles.

However, more and more people have a deep understanding of the history of the Eighth Route Army, and finally yearn for it, and go to the north from all over the country to join the Eighth Route Army, and go to Dahuazhong and Huainan to join the New Fourth Army.

The reputation of the Eighth Route Army is second to none!
And all this, the Eighth Route Army as the protagonist is completely unaware.

Of course, this is a later story...

The screen returns to Shanxi.

Third Theater Command.

After reading the telegram in his hand, Yan Laoxi asked Fu Yisheng, "Yisheng, what do you think of this order from the commissioner?"

Fu Yisheng thought for a while and said: "The superficial meaning of the appointment is to let us provide assistance to the Eighth Route Army, at least to restrain the Japanese army in front of us, so that the Eighth Route Army can boldly expand the results of the war.

But the deeper meaning is to use the hands of the Japanese to weaken the strength of our Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the powerful Japanese invaders have never been the most feared by the committee. "

Fu Yisheng, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, was also Yan Laoxi's right-hand man. He was no fool, and he could see through the chairman's plan with just one glance.

Yan Laoxi nodded: "Well, Yisheng, your analysis is good, so tell me, should we send troops!"

Fu Yisheng: "We must send troops. Otherwise, if we don't send troops today and drive the Japanese troops out of the country later, the Chairman will definitely use this as an excuse to trouble you, Chief."

"Moreover, the Japanese army in Shanxi is currently empty, which is also a good opportunity for us to inflict heavy losses on them.

If things go well, maybe even Taiyuan, the provincial capital, can be regained! "
