Following the transmission of the telegram drafted by Mao Taizu himself, the armed forces of warlords in various places were really startled by the little devil.But this indiscriminate bombing also reminded other warlords and even the Chongqing government.

That is, the construction of air-raid shelters must be placed first in all tasks.Rehearsals for air defense exercises must also be implemented as soon as possible.If they don't do this well, next time such a disaster may happen to them.

At the same time that the power was sent out, the four divisions and one regiment on standby were assembled and became the first main force to advance into Jinchaji.Subsequently, the troops that cooperated with it to advance into the Jinchaji base area will also be dispatched to advance into the North China Plain at any time to carry out the war of resistance behind enemy lines.

At the same time, the two main divisions of the independent column set off overnight to Shuozhou.Under the leadership of He Zhengdao, they will launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese troops in Shuozhou and Datong, cutting off the Japanese army's connection with Suiyuan.

The other departments of the Eighth Route Army also received combat orders one after another.The first thing the main forces behind the enemy lines did was to destroy the railway lines on which the Japanese army relied heavily.As long as there are troops, the railway is the primary target of attack.

After receiving the order from He Zhengdao, the second unit of the special warfare, which entered eastern Jidong to carry out the anti-Japanese war, demolished the railway from Peking to Shengjing.In addition, the railway from Tianxi to the south was also destroyed regardless of cost.

Even if you do this, you will attract criticism from many people.After all, the construction of these railways in the Republic of China still cost a lot of money.Now that the Eighth Route Army is destroying it, it is undoubtedly digging its own foundation.

Originally, there was still a period of time, and the Zhengtai Railway could also see the effect of opening to traffic.In this raid, he was hit hard again.Even the railway outside Shijiazhuang was severely demolished by the armed forces behind the enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the railway lines in Shanxi, they still failed to escape the demolition of the Eighth Route Army.Even if there are some unusable railways, the Eighth Route Army will clean up the tracks.This means that the Japanese army in Shanxi will completely lose its railway transportation capacity.

Sugiyama Yuan, who had just celebrated for the bombing, also did not expect the Eighth Route Army's revenge to come so quickly.Sugiyama Moto also looked a little dumbfounded after receiving the telegrams from the various troops below, but he knew that this matter was a bit troublesome.

'Bagya Road, where are the guards along our railway line?Why didn't we protect our railways? '

Regarding Sugiyama Yuan's questioning, the chief of staff who submitted the telegram said helplessly: "Your Excellency, this is an unexpected situation. And last night, some of our important railway points were attacked by the enemy's rear.

Now the railway from Peiping to Shengjing has been bombed, and the railway from Peiping to Shijiazhuang has also been severely destroyed.The deadliest thing was that the Xipu Railway was also severely damaged, and it would take at least three months to repair it.

Previously, General Matsui of the Central China Front Army had already sent a telegram, hoping that we would try our best to ensure that the Xipu line would be repaired as soon as possible.Otherwise, we will soon enter the troops in Jiangsu and Henan, and logistical supplies will become very difficult. "

Looking at the map of the whole territory of Huaxia hanging in the combat command room, it was judged that the railway was damaged.Sugiyama is also very clear that the North China Front Army will not be able to rely on railway transportation for a short period of time.

Even if he knew that this was the Eighth Route Army's revenge, he still underestimated how fast and ruthless the Eighth Route Army's revenge came.As far as the current strategic focus of the Japanese army is still on the upcoming battle of Xuzhou.

If the logistical supplies cannot keep up, the strategic deployment of the north-south attack will be affected.Destroying the battle plan formulated by the Japanese base camp, even he, the former army minister, must be careful of the criticism from the base camp.

'To the garrison troops along the line, strengthen the vigilance along the railway line.At the same time, from the occupied area, arrest young men and restore the railway as quickly as possible.In addition, order the garrison troops to strengthen the security management of the occupied areas.

This is our territory, how can we allow the Chinese rebels to move freely?Tell the garrison troops everywhere that they don't have to worry about the impact, as long as they dare to resist our Da Ri Bo Di army, they will be killed by me!Kill them! '

Hearing Sugiyama Yuan's murderous words, the new Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, Yamashita Fufumi, could only pass on the order.But he somehow knew that killing like this would only cause greater chaos in North China.

As far as the main force of the dispatched army is concerned, more of them are concentrated in the southern theater.If North China is in chaos, it will undoubtedly affect the situation on the front line.At that time, Sugiyama Yuan, the new commander, will definitely be reprimanded by the base camp.

When Sugiyama Yuan ordered the garrisons in North China to strengthen the security management of the control area.The intelligence organization dispatched by the Eighth Route Army to the enemy's rear also passed the news back to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, hoping that the headquarters could send troops into North China as soon as possible.

Originally, there were only two days left before the new year, but under the current circumstances, the Eighth Route Army, which was fully prepared for combat, naturally couldn't celebrate the new year well.Several major divisions quickly received corresponding deployment and dispatch orders.

At the same time, the guerrilla forces formed by the Eighth Route Army also launched operations in the county seat area occupied by the Japanese army in Shanxi.Some towns that were originally under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army were attacked by guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army, which had just rested for a period of time, also began to carry out various actions to siege the city and fight for aid.Even if Itagaki Seishiro was aware of this result, he also felt in a dilemma when the Eighth Route Army really fought with all their money.

Looking at the rescue telegrams sent from various places, Itagaki Seishiro still felt that the troops on hand were tense.With so many places in need of rescue, what should he do with only one fifth division and one part of the 116th division at hand?

'General, should you send a report to the commander for help?It is difficult to guarantee the stability of Shanxi with our existing military strength alone.If it continues to drag on, the defenders in our county towns will be in a situation where they will run out of ammunition and food. '

Faced with the suggestion of the chief of staff of the division, Itagaki Seishiro smiled bitterly: "Where to send reinforcements? Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the Front Army to send reinforcements. Because North China is more important than Shanxi.

Today's resistance forces behind enemy lines in North China also need the front army to send troops to suppress them.And our Shanxi dispatched army has the main force of two divisions, so it would be very difficult not to let us send troops to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's rear in North China.

In the current situation, we can only rely on our own strength to solve the immediate crisis.If I ask the front army for help again, I am afraid that I, the commander of the division, will also make it to the end.This battle can only be resolved internally. "

Although it is very dangerous at the moment, Itagaki Seishiro still believes in the troops in his hands.Even if it can't effectively kill the Eighth Route Army, it can still compete with the Eighth Route Army's troops in Shanxi.

Under such circumstances, Itagaki Seishiro deployed only one brigade in Taiyuan.The rest of the main force of the Fifth Division, as well as the main force of the 116th Division, were all dispatched to various places to fight the fire and quell the chaos in Shanxi.

At this moment, the liaison officers of the Eighth Route Army had arrived at the Jinsui Army's control area.Regarding this incident, the Eighth Route Army hoped that the Jinsui Army could provide support and share some of the Japanese troops in Shanxi.

Regarding this kind of contact, Yan Xishan was also a little hesitant. He summoned his generals and said, "Everyone, what do you think about the Eighth Route Army's desire for us to cooperate in combat?"

Commander-in-Chief, it's about to be the New Year's Eve. Brothers have worked hard for a year. I'm afraid there will be complaints when we send troops now.Most importantly, most of our expanded troops are recruits and are still in training! '

Soon, some generals tactfully refused, and some generals said: "If you don't participate in this battle, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the elders of the Jin Dynasty! I think it is necessary to send troops to recover some areas occupied by the Japanese army."

'Send troops, it's easy to say!Where do soldiers come from?Where do weapons come from?And, do we have mandates? '

Seeing his subordinates arguing between the main battle and the wait-and-see opinions, Yan Xishan also felt overwhelmed.After all, he knew very well that the Jinsui army had just recovered a little bit of vitality, and if they attacked, the consequences would be unpredictable.

If the lost ground can be regained, it can certainly improve the morale of the army.But they are in charge of the defense, and it is difficult to defeat the Japanese army.Now that it's their turn to attack, can they really defeat the little devil?If he fails again, he won't be able to keep his old foundation!

As far as the Eighth Route Army is concerned, it is also aware of the consequences of causing chaos in Shanxi this time, and it may provoke an even crazier counterattack by the Japanese army.The most important thing is that the Kwantung Army outside the pass may go south.

It's just that under the current circumstances, the Eighth Route Army has gathered heavy troops to destroy the Japanese rule in North China and Shanxi.For the southern battlefield, it can also play a supporting role that cannot be ignored. Even Lao Jiang was a little dazed when he heard the news.

At least in Lao Jiang's view, this seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the Eighth Route Army's consistent proposition of low-key development and expansion of strength.But he had to admit that he might not have dared to do so if the Eighth Route Army was so generous.

After receiving an inquiry telegram from the Jinsui Army, Lao Jiang also summoned his generals and said: "At present, the Eighth Route Army is launching a comprehensive attack in North China. The Japanese army from Shandong has slowed down their marching pace.

From this point of view, they still effectively held back the main force of the Japanese army coming from North China.This also started the next Xuzhou battle for us, and won the time.However, the Eighth Route Army hopes that the Jinsui Army will cooperate with them.

Earlier, Yan Xishan sent a telegram to ask for instructions, asking if he should be ordered to cooperate in combat.This Yan Laoxi, it seems that the old problem of looking forward and backward has not changed.Leaving this matter to us to make a decision, I really want to please both sides! "

Regarding Lao Jiang's words, Li Zongren, who was also transferred to Chongqing to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou battle, smiled and said: "Committee, Yan Xishan's Jinsui army, after the previous Taiyuan battle, almost lost its elite troops.

Although their strength has now recovered to nearly [-].But apart from the old troops before, nearly half of the troops now expanded are recruits.If such a force is brought to the battlefield, I'm afraid it won't be of much use.

Just as far as the current situation is concerned, we want to win the next Xuzhou battle and buy more time for our troops participating in the battle.The more chaos in North China, the better for us.What's more, Shanxi was originally a war zone under the jurisdiction of the Jinsui Army. "

With a smile on his words, Li Zongren naturally knew that among the generals attending the meeting today, many of them hoped that the Eighth Route Army would fight to the death with the North China Japanese Army.But in Li Zongren's view, the current situation determines that the Eighth Route Army must exist.

Once the Eighth Route Army is really exhausted, it cannot effectively hold back the Japanese army in North China.At that time, the Central Army will also have to worry about being attacked.At this time, it is better to get rid of some small thoughts and unite in the war of resistance.

Another reason for hoping that the Jinsui Army will cooperate with the Eighth Route Army is that doing so will not hurt the Eighth Route Army, but it will also allow the Japanese army to contain the development of the Eighth Route Army.Under the ebb and flow, he doesn't have to worry about the expansion of the Eighth Route Army too fast.

As for the Jinsui army today, it has lost the Taiyuan arsenal, and there is no such important military town as Taiyuan.Hiding in relatively poor places like Linfen, it would be very difficult for them to make a comeback.

At this time, the Jinsui army still wanted to preserve their strength. Li Zongren could understand, but felt that Yan Xishan was too short-sighted.If the Eighth Route Army is really allowed to fully dominate this war, the people of Shanxi will not agree with the Jinsui Army in the future.

Without the support of the people in Shanxi, can the Jinsui Army still be called the Jinsui Army?

Hearing Li Zongren's words, Lao Jiang smiled and said nothing, but looked at his confidant generals.For Lao Jiang, the Guangdong and Guangxi Incident made him dare not have too much trust in Li Zongren.

Most importantly, the current strength of the Xingui army should not be underestimated.With the outbreak of the war, Li Zongren's status in the Central Army and the National Government has also been further improved, and his prestige in the army should not be underestimated.

Faced with Lao Jiang's signal, Gu Zhutong was the first to speak: "From a long-term perspective, whether the Jinsui army will help or not, it is beneficial to us. If we order, with Yan Xishan's character I'm afraid I won't listen to what I say.
