Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

"Chief!"

The chief of staff looked at his side and asked, "What do you think about this?"

The commander-in-chief pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "In any case, these local armed forces can be organized, which is also quite beneficial for the war of resistance. I observe that Lu Zhixian is not a narrow-minded person. He can create the Tiger Guards with his personal efforts behind the enemy lines. He must have an extremely firm will to fight the war. These local armed forces can act in unison under the command of his Tiger Guards. This is also a good way to kill the enemy."

"I agree with the chief."

The chief of staff also nodded and said, "In the past, most of these local armed forces were only responsible for their own little land, and even the role they could play in fighting the devils was extremely limited. But now that they can be led by the Tiger Guards, they will surely be able to play an effect that was unimaginable in the past. As long as they can fight the devils, our Eighth Route Army will also be happy to see it happen."

"Well said!"

The rest of the people present nodded frequently when they heard this.

"But——"

"But what?"

"I really didn't expect it!"

The chief of staff suddenly sighed and said, "It has only been more than half a year since Lu Zhixian founded the Tiger Guards, but he has already gained such a great prestige among the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi Province. From the intelligence we have obtained, these local armed forces have taken the initiative to come to us."

"Yes!"

A certain leader beside him also echoed.

"That's not hard to understand."

The commander-in-chief looked solemn and said slowly: "After all, all these reputations are earned by himself. Before, whether it was the Sakata Regiment or the two brigades behind, which one was not a vicious opponent? In this difficult battlefield behind enemy lines, whoever can severely damage any of the above-mentioned Japanese troops would have long been a hero famous throughout the country. Now almost all of them were killed by Lu Zhixian, so these local armed forces naturally follow his lead!"

"The chief said it thoroughly!"

The chief of staff nodded again after hearing this and said: "All reputations need to be earned. The reason why Lu Zhixian is respected by many local armed forces now is all because of him. His Tiger Guards had created legendary achievements time and time again. Otherwise, how could these local armed forces be so willing to join the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces? "

"That's right!"

The commander-in-chief's eyes flashed with a trace of awe, and he said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, the Japanese launched a large-scale clearing operation in various parts of Shanxi Province, causing the situation in the entire enemy-occupied battlefield to become extremely difficult. Only the southwest of Shanxi was slightly better because of the sudden rise of the Tiger Guards. Now it is time for my Eighth Route Army to contribute its own strength to the national war of resistance."

"Commander-in-chief, are you sure you want to launch a large-scale raid?"

"Sure."

The commander-in-chief looked at the map closely with an extremely firm look in his eyes.

"Good!"

Everyone was excited to hear this.

The chief of staff couldn't help but smile and said, "These little devils were too arrogant before. If we gather all the regiments to launch a raid along the Zhengtai Railway and other major transportation routes, we will be able to severely damage the devil's logistics supply and greatly boost the national anti-Japanese war situation."

"That's right!"

A leader over there echoed, "Although our Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment are a bit inferior, we can't let the Tiger Guards take the lead, right?"

"That's right!"

The commander-in-chief suddenly thought of something, and then said, "Isn't Lu Zhixian now commanding the entire Southwest Shanxi Anti-Japanese United Army? Most of our main forces are also in other areas of Shanxi Province. In this case, let him cooperate with us to launch a campaign in Southwest Shanxi, so that he can play a greater role."

"Will he agree?"

"Yes."

The commander-in-chief said firmly.

The chief of staff also smiled and nodded, saying: "The Japanese had already targeted his Tiger Guards. As long as the Japanese have dealt with other areas, they will inevitably suffer crazy revenge from the other side. Now my Eighth Route Army intends to launch a large-scale raid. This is definitely a move to help him cover his firepower. Besides, he just commanded the entire Anti-Japanese United Army, and it is time to take effective actions."

"That's true."

Everyone was relieved.

"Report!"

Just then, a soldier suddenly came in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

"Just received news that the Second War Zone Command sent a reply. Due to the inconvenience of materials entering and leaving Shanxi Province, all supplies and military pay of the Eighth Route Army will be postponed. The specific date will be notified separately."

"What?!"

Everyone present changed their faces.

...

Black Cloud Village.

Martial Arts Hall.

Almost at the same time, Lu Zhixian also received a similar notice.

"Damn it!"

Yang Zhihua, who was standing over there, said indignantly: "It is indeed more difficult than before for all kinds of logistics supplies to enter and leave Shanxi Province, but even if it is difficult, it should not be that there is no supplies and military pay, right? In my opinion, it is clearly the old commander of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army who is deliberately making things difficult for us!"

"That's right!"

Han Shaogong also seemed particularly angry, and said angrily: "Our supplies and military pay are all provided by the National Government. What does it have to do with the Second War Zone? All the supplies are just transported through their channels for the convenience of transportation. I don't believe that all the supplies given to us by the National Government cannot be transported in!"

Everyone present was angry again and again.

Although they had long known that the old commander of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army was very shameless, they did not expect that he would dare to blatantly withhold their supplies.

"Have you asked the Military Control Commission?"

Lu Zhixian, who was sitting over there, asked in a deep voice.

"Captain!"

Chen Feng responded immediately: "I have contacted the Military Control Commission as soon as possible. They said that the supplies for this quarter that should be supplied to my Tiger Guards have been transported to Shanxi Province through secret channels. Although there were some losses along the way, most of them have arrived. As for the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, they can't do anything."

"Hmph!"

Lu Zhixian's face sank.

"What should we do?"

At this time, Wu Qianli seemed quite anxious and said angrily: "We have to get it back!"

"This matter is probably not easy!"

Chen Feng frowned and said in a deep voice: "The situation behind enemy lines is indeed very difficult at this stage. Since the Central China region was continuously broken through by the devils, all the supplies that want to be sent to Shanxi Province are much more difficult than before. With the ability of the old commander in the Second War Zone, if he insists that the supplies are in short supply and cannot be supplied, then we can't do anything!"

"Damn it!"

Everyone was angry.

"Hmph!"

Lu Zhixian sneered and sighed, "Although we had some conflicts with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army in the past, we kept to ourselves. Now that old commander wants to play dirty tricks on us? Hmph, does he really think that the current Tiger Guards can be manipulated by him at will? Now I, Lu Zhixian, will accompany you to the end. Don't blame me for being too ruthless when the time comes!"
