Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 413 Lao Jiang's Intrusion (Second Update!)

He strode to the North China battle map that had been hung on the wall long ago, and asked in a deep voice.

"What's the situation now!"

"Very intense!" Dai Li replied with a serious face.

"The real battle started a few days ago, because there were sporadic firefights, neither the devils nor our intelligence personnel took it seriously, until it started last night, I didn't realize that this might be a premeditated big battle! "

"In the fighting area, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has about 5 people, the Japanese army has more than 8000 people, and there are also more than 1 Imperial Army. On the surface, the Eighth Route Army does not have much advantage in strength, but the Eighth Route Army Nearly 2 guerrillas and local armed forces participated in the battle. And they had premeditated plans to wipe out seven or eight thousand Japanese puppet troops through guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare before the real decisive battle began.”

"So, the current situation of the battle is that the Japanese are on the passive side, being suppressed and beaten by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Mother Xipi, I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's combat power would be so strong! However, the Japanese are too useless. When facing our Central Army, their combat power is so strong that a regiment dares to fight against our main division. Why did you get discouraged in front of the Eighth Route Army? There are nearly 2 people, and even the [-] Eighth Route Army can't deal with it!" Lao Jiang scolded with dissatisfaction.

Dai Li quickly replied: "Principal, it's not that the Japanese are cowardly, it's that they don't want too many casualties. If you really want to fight desperately, the [-]-eighth Route Army must not be the opponent of the nearly [-] Japanese!"

"The students have just received a secret report from the Japanese North China Front Army Command. Terauchi Shouichi has an idea to wipe out the main force of the [-]-eighth Route Army that is attacking too far, and has already started to act! The Japanese army in southwestern Shanxi suddenly began to assemble on a large scale. Unexpectedly, Terauchi Shouichi planned to mobilize the Japanese army in southwestern Shanxi to reinforce Taiyuan City, and then gather and annihilate the [-] Eighth Route Army attacking Taiyuan outside Taiyuan City, severely injuring the Eighth Route Army!"

"Mother Xipi, I finally heard good news!" Lao Jiang finally relaxed his tense nerves, and said with a long sigh of relief.

"If the Japanese North China Front Army can really gather and annihilate the [-] Route Army outside the city of Taiyuan, then the Japanese must have suffered a great loss. At that time, the national government troops operating in North China will be able to take advantage of the opportunity and kill two birds with one stone!" The Minister of Military and Political Affairs suddenly suggested.

Lao Jiang was obviously very satisfied with the result, and rushed to make a decision without waiting for others to speak: "Let's do it like this!"

"But, principal, although they are the Eighth Route Army, they are also an anti-Japanese army. Wouldn't it be too much for them to be wiped out by the Japanese like this?" A confidant general among his subordinates really couldn't understand how the Minister of Military and Political Affairs and Dai Li calculated friendly troops like this.As a pure soldier, he doesn't understand politics, so he couldn't help reminding.

"What do you know?" This sentence aroused Lao Jiang's dissatisfaction and anger as soon as he uttered it.

"The Eighth Route Army expanded its army privately. It is good that the government did not pursue their troubles. Now that the troops they expanded privately died in the anti-Japanese battlefield, this ending is already the best for the Eighth Route Army."

"There is no need to explain anymore, just follow the wishes of the Military and Political Department!" Lao Jiang made a final decision.

Then he continued to order: "Send a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army: I am very relieved to hear that your army is attacking Taiyuan City! I hope that your army will not be afraid of sacrifice, take Taiyuan City, and live up to the high expectations of all the people..."

Many of the people standing here are top politicians of the Nationalist Government. On the surface, Chiang’s telegram to the Eighth Route Army was full of words of encouragement.However, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere in these words.

Regardless of whether the Eighth Route Army was really going to take Taiyuan City in this big battle, with this telegram, Lao Jiang directly confirmed the fact that the Eighth Route Army was attacking too far away, drove the ducks to the shelves, and forced the Eighth Route Army to have a life-and-death battle with the Japanese army in Taiyuan City .

While secretly giving Lao Jiang a thumbs up in his heart, Lao Jiang continued to order.

"Send a telegram to Yan Xishan in the second war zone, and ask his second war zone to stand still, and watch the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese fight in Taiyuan, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

The deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Taihang Mountain also stayed up all night, staring at Taiyuan City on the map!
First of all, this battle was the largest battle organized by the Eighth Route Army since its establishment.

Secondly, in this war, once the Eighth Route Army achieves its goal, the gains it will bring are definitely not comparable to one or two counties!
A relatively complete arsenal, for every commander of the Eighth Route Army, the temptation is unprecedented.

Whether it is the former Red Army or the current Eighth Route Army, weapons and equipment are almost all captured.

Fighting guerrillas, this supply method may also support the needs of the troops on the battlefield.But once there is a large-scale battle, this supply method is useless.

In order to allow the troops to be self-sufficient in cooking with weapons and ammunition, at least they must be partially self-sufficient and no longer subject to others.The Eighth Route Army Headquarters and Yan'an, which have never agreed to large-scale battles, unexpectedly agreed this time.

Winning the battle can bring unprecedented benefits to the Eighth Route Army.

If you lose, the tens of thousands of troops participating in the war will definitely suffer heavy losses.Therefore, as soon as the battle started, the deputy commander stared at the map.

Suddenly, the deputy chief of staff who was guarding the radio barged in with a heavy expression on his face.

"Boss, the national government sent a telegram! What time is it? Lao Jiang still wants to step in, drive ducks into the shelves, force us to fight the Japanese, and kill people with knives!" Seeing the deputy commander in chief, the deputy chief of staff frowned, Said with a dissatisfied face.

"Taking Taiyuan City, Lao Jiang really dares to say that he is not afraid that his tongue will slip out!" The deputy commander slapped the telegram on the table and shouted very dissatisfied.

"Isn't it too far away that there are 10,000+ people in the second war zone, well-equipped and well-trained, why didn't Lao Jiang transfer them outside Taiyuan City to attack the city. He wants to borrow a knife to kill people is simply crazy!"

The deputy chief of staff quickly calmed down and analyzed: "In such a war, Lao Jiang knew for sure. The telegram vaguely mentioned that Lao Jiang was very dissatisfied with our private expansion of troops, and then planned to kill people with knives and let the Japanese eat us. Fifty thousand troops on the front line in Taiyuan!"

At this moment, a sneer flashed across the frowning deputy commander-in-chief's face, and he suggested to the deputy chief of staff.

"Deputy chief of staff, didn't Lao Jiang want to borrow a knife to kill people and kill our 5 people outside Taiyuan City? Tell me, can we fulfill his wish!"

The deputy chief of staff frowned first, and then showed a suddenly realized expression.

"You mean, let Lao Jiang mistakenly believe that our [-] elites in Taiyuan City have been hit hard!"

"It's totally possible to do this: Isn't Lao Jiang afraid of us expanding our troops without permission? If the troops we expanded without permission are wiped out by the devils, then he has nothing to worry about. At that time, we can use this excuse to ask Lao Jiang Ask for more military spending and pensions!"

"As for the Japanese, they will definitely cooperate with us. After all, this is to help them promote their military exploits."

"Yan'an will definitely agree. The development strategy Yan'an has given us has always been to concentrate on development and recharge our batteries. This coincides with Yan'an's policy."

"It's just that in this way, the grievances suffered by our front-line soldiers will be great!"
