Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Shaanxi, Kenanpo, Second Theater Command.

Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the second war zone, held the telegram of the chairman of the whole army and the whole people to resist Japan, and groaned silently.

In September 1937, the Japanese invaded Shanxi. Yan Zhangguan, known as the "Emperor of Shanxi", panicked and raised the banner of the Communist Party of China to resist Japan. In late September, Yan Zhang cooperated with the Eighth Route Army in the Battle of Pingxingguan. The Eighth Route Army wiped out the Japanese More than 9 bandits won the first victory since the Anti-Japanese War, which greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.Immediately afterwards, Yan deployed the Jinsui Army and the Central Army to guard Xinkou together, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese invaders.However, because the enemy was strong and we were weak, Xinkou and Taiyuan fell one after another, and Yan Xishan withdrew to Linfen to the south. In February 9, Linfen fell again, and Yan Xishan led his World War II zone governor's department to cross the Yellow River westward and enter Qiulin Town, Shaanxi Province.

But Yan thinks that Qiulin is located in Shaanxi, which is under the jurisdiction of Hu Zongnan. He has always felt like being under the fence when he stays here, and Shanxi is where he made his fortune, so what he never forgets is returning to Shanxi. In May 1940, Yan Xishan led some entourages to leave Qiulin, cross the Yellow River to the east, and stationed in Kenanpo in the northwest of Jixian County.

Kenanpo, formerly known as Nancunpo, is a loess mountain ridge with six families living there.The mountain ridge is about one kilometer long from east to west, and about 6 kilometers wide from north to south. It is composed of five ditches juxtaposed from west to east and inclined from north to south.This mountain ridge faces the ditch and river on three sides, and the plateau on the other side.After Yan Xishan designated this place as a camp, because the pronunciation of the word Nancun is close to "difficult to survive", and he wanted to flaunt overcoming difficulties, he changed the name to Kenan City, commonly known as Kenanpo.After more than a year of construction, this tiny place has been built into a small mountain town with stacked cave dwellings, which is quite large and can accommodate more than 0.5 people.Headquarters of the Commander of the Second Theater Command, the Shanxi Provincial Government and other heads were stationed here, and it became an important military center in the World War II zone for a while.

In fact, after Yan Xishan arrived in Kenanpo, he did not fight the Japanese aggressors several times seriously.In order to survive the contradictions, he pursued the so-called "philosophy of China" and carefully danced on the "three eggs" of the Japanese Army, the Communist Army, and the Central Army.He believes that the chairman of the committee is the head of state and should be supported, but he is also his number one political enemy and must refuse his influence to enter Shanxi.The Japanese wanted to destroy China. If they resisted the Japanese, they were afraid of being burned. If they did not resist the Japanese, they were afraid that the Japanese would seize their territory. When the Japanese had already entered Suiyuan that day, he raised the slogan of "defending the soil and resisting the war" in a high-profile manner in August.

In his eyes, although the Eighth Route Army is a dangerous enemy, it will not endanger its own existence for the time being, and it is a force that can be used bravely and resolutely against Japan.

So for a time he stopped clamoring for corruption and implemented the policies of the Communist Party of China.Supporting Chiang and rejecting Chiang, fighting against Japan and uniting with the Communist Party became the key issues that he needed to consider in formulating various policies.The core is to play the alliance card, in order to raise one's own status and strengthen one's own strength, in order to cope with the coming Japanese invasion.

But after Kinanpo, Jiang Haoran suddenly rose up and turned the tide to stop the advance of the Japanese army. Coupled with the outbreak of the World War, the anti-Japanese situation has improved. He believes that the chairman has no time to punish him, so there is no need to worry.Although the Japanese aggressors can't grow a rabbit's tail, they are difficult to defeat for a while, and the Eighth Route Army is becoming stronger and stronger, and it is no longer a force that can be used. It has become the main enemy that threatens its existence. The idea of ​​the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, Neiji Okamura, the commander of the Japanese army in North China, had already seen through Yan’s intentions, and had already sent representatives to negotiate with him. Here it is again, which makes it even more difficult for him to decide.

"Ge Fei, can you be sure that this plan is written by Jiang Haoran, not a third-rate conductor like the Chairman?" Putting down the telegram in his hand, Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan and said.

Yang Aiyuan, nicknamed Ge Fei, was Yan Xishan's number one favorite general and ranked first among the Thirteen Taibao.

Yang Aiyuan hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This should not be wrong. The overall plan to counterattack Wuhan was written by him. This is an indisputable fact. The Japanese army's strategy can be seen from a battle on the Pacific battlefield. Intent, this kind of strategic vision, I am afraid that only Jiang Haoran has it, so the subordinates feel that this is not wrong."

Chief Yan nodded silently, thoughtful, and then said after a long time: "Is it really as serious as he said, and this is our last chance?"

Yang Aiyuan said: "From the perspective of the situation, if the Japanese army really concentrates all their forces on this battle as Jiang Haoran predicted, this will indeed be our last battle. The ammunition reserves of Base 331 will be exhausted, and the entire country will be destroyed. The war reserves will also be depleted. Even if the Chinese soldiers are a group of tigers, they are toothless tigers, and they cannot fight against the ferocious wolves of the Japanese army. In terms of motivation, the Japanese army wants to keep Wuhan and stabilize the situation in the Central China battlefield. It’s not that it can’t be rescued. However, there is a premise for all of this??????”

"That is, can the Japanese army hold Wuhan before the reinforcements arrive?" Officer Yan continued.

"Yes, this is the crux of the problem?"

"Alas!" Chief Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, "Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold! Once the Japanese army occupies the rear of the Southwest, all of my great China will fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and my dream of returning to Shanxi will be completely shattered."

Chief Yan's long sigh made all the generals in the room dejected. After a long time, Yang Aiyuan broke the silence and said, "Commander, it seems that you have made up your mind to fight the Japanese army?"

"A big fight? No, no, we must fight. We can't just watch the little Japan take over our great rivers and mountains, but we still need to talk about some strategies. We must achieve the purpose of containing the Japanese army, but we can't take it away from us. The troops are in too deep."

"That's a great move, Commander!" Yang Aiyuan gave a flattering thumbs up, "How about I formulate a battle plan according to your instructions, spread out all the troops, stick to the principle of the enemy advancing, we retreat, and the enemy retreats, we advance, and Did the Japanese army deal with it to the end?"

"Well, let's do this!"

??

Yan'an, a cave dwelling.

Zhou Gong walked in excitedly, and said to Mao Gong in the cave: "Chairman, as you expected, Yan Laoxi moved, and it was a large-scale dispatch of troops. It seems that he is planning to do something big." up."

"Oh, this is good news. However, you don't have to have too much hope for him. With Yan Laoxi's character, he will never attack with all his strength. Duke Zhou, in this way, order the troops to get close to the Jinsui army, and we will Fighting guerrillas around them, luring the Japanese army to them, making them unable to hide even if they wanted to, causing chaos in the entire Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei areas, and dragging the Japanese army to Shijiazhuang and Taiyuan."
