Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Let’s leave aside the brigade commander’s side for now, and then talk about Li Yunlong’s side.

During this period, Li Yunlong was sweeping southern Shanxi, including southwestern Shanxi.

This was originally Yan Tuhuang's defense area.

After the Anti-Japanese War officially broke out, Emperor Yan Tuhuang had expanded the size of the Shanxi-Sui Army to 68 organized infantry regiments. The total strength reached 200,000.

There are several arsenals in the defense area, with more than 300 artillery pieces with a caliber of 75 mm or more. Mortars and mountain artillery can be equipped to regiments.

Very powerful.

However, the plaster army had better equipment and stronger combat effectiveness. The Jinsui Army fought against the Japanese pirates. Although the Jinsui Army tried its best, it was still difficult to win.

The two sides fought many times in the Northern Shanxi Defense War, the Pingxingguan Battle, the Xinkou Battle and the Taiyuan Defense Battle, and the battles were very fierce.

The Jinsui Army fought tenaciously under the leadership of Fu Shuibu and repelled Japanese pirate attacks many times.

In the Battle of Xinkou, they paid a price of 100,000 casualties and succeeded in annihilating more than 20,000 Japanese pirates. Although the enemy's casualties were one to five, it also set a new record for annihilating enemies in the North China battlefield.

Moreover, it delayed the Japanese pirates and bought time for the Chinese troops on the Ping-Han line to withdraw southward.

The Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, and the Shanxi-Sui Army's battles were remarkable and indispensable.

But after the Taiyuan defense battle, Emperor Yan Tu only gathered less than 20,000 people and slowly recovered in western Shanxi. The 20,000 people no longer include people from Fu Shuibu.

Since Fu Shuibu and Yan Tuhuang parted ways and fought independently in Suiyuan, Yan Tuhuang's troops can no longer be regarded as the Jin-Sui Army, but can only be regarded as the Jin-Yan Army.

After the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain, he retreated to a small corner of the mountain. A small place called Kenanpo. There were originally only six households here, but Emperor Yan Tu turned it into a base area lined with fortresses, giving up most of the county to the Japanese.

At this time, Yan Jun's establishment was 190,000, but the actual number was 120,000.

Our army swept through southern Shanxi and drove away the Japanese. As a result, Emperor Yan Tu's troops were released from the ravines.

Originally, our army and Jin Yan's army were nominally friendly armies. They could go out as soon as they came out, each occupying their own territory and not interfering with each other.

But they were still unhappy and claimed that they had signed a contract with us before: the road from Fenyang to Jundu via Lishi was the dividing line between northwestern and southwestern Shanxi. The northwest part of Shanxi is the activity area of ​​the Eighth Route Army and the New Army; the southwest part of Shanxi is the activity area of ​​the Shanxi-Sui Army.

Now that we have arrived in southwestern Shanxi and entered their territory, we have violated their territory.

"Send a report to the Eighth Route Army and ask them why they entered my defense area without saying hello." Yan Tuhuang banged the table and said angrily.

"Yes! I think they can be ordered by the commander of the World War II area to withdraw from southwestern Shanxi immediately and be taken over by our troops."

"Yes, that's natural. And to compensate for our losses, let them keep military supplies. I heard that their new guns and cannons are very useful. Let them stay. Let's study it and restore the arsenal. self-produce."

Yan Tuhuang said while thinking about the bright future of Jin Yanjun.

"Then what if they disobey orders? Based on the relationship between us, this is very likely! Moreover, the other party is the army of Li Yunlong, who is known for his disobedience."

"Disobey orders? Doesn't the Eighth Route Army belong to the World War II zone? Disobeying orders means destroying the united front.

Now the Big Plaster Locust Army has come to see us, and Jiang Wufa has contacted us. We are a hot commodity. If they don't obey orders, we will cooperate with Big Plaster to take back the defense area that belongs to us! "

"No! If this happens, we will officially surrender to the enemy and become traitors, and we will be despised by the entire Chinese military and civilians! Although we and Da Plaster were ambiguous in the past, it makes sense without concrete evidence. If we really surrender to the enemy completely, I'm afraid our Of the 120,000 troops, it would be good to have 50,000 left. With the combat effectiveness of our troops, the Locust Army may look down upon us."

"Why not? Isn't fifty thousand enough? The Locust Army has lost a lot of troops in the past year. Fifty thousand troops is probably more than two divisions. The Locust Army is just looking for it!"

"My subordinates don't understand something, please ask the commander to clarify."

"You said."

"Since Jiang Wufa has also contacted us, why don't we cooperate with Jiang Wufa? After all, we are all Chinese, so our military morale will be less affected. Maybe Jiang Wufa can supplement us with some equipment, and our strength can be stronger Some.

I heard that there is no longer a fight between Jiang Wufa and Da Plaster, but Omanric's support continues unabated.

It is not difficult to see that Omanric supported Jiang Wufa not to let him fight against the Japanese, but to deal with the Eighth Route Army. "

"Hahaha, do you think that my brother has any good intentions? People say that the two of us are sworn brothers. In fact, we are not sworn brothers. We are both sworn brothers with another person. It was me, Brother Jiang, who forced me to Brothers who are said to be brothers are naturally brothers.

What is he planning? Are you just trying to come all the way here and call me brother?

He is from Jin Province who wants us!

Cooperating with him is worse than cooperating with the Locust Army!

The Locust Army needs us to help them manage Jin Province, and we can still thrive in this one-third of an acre of land in Jin Province; and Jiang Wufa, as long as we have our land, people and guns, once he gets it, we can It’s hard to say if you can’t save your life! "

"How about cooperating with the Eighth Route Army? I think the Eighth Route Army is developing very quickly. I'm afraid the Big Plaster Locust Army is no match for us!"

"To be honest, I'm in a dilemma too. Supposedly, we have fought against the Locust Army with big plasters, and there are only 20,000 remaining defeated soldiers in the 200,000-strong army. Can those peasant soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who just laid down their hoes be able to defeat the Locust Army? Am I right? I believe it! I think the Locust Army may have just carried it out temporarily, just bad luck.

Furthermore, if you voted for the Eighth Route Army, it won’t be a big problem to have a regiment leader. The regiments of the Eighth Route Army are all super large reinforced regiments of six to seven thousand people!

I want to join the Eighth Route Army. Can I continue to be the King of Jin Province?

impossible! Give me at most a few acres of thin farmland and let me find a place to live out my remaining days. It would be better to die!

I'm not willing to give in! "Yan Tuhuang said while looking at the senior counselor.

I thought to myself: Could it be that you kid has the idea of ​​​​taking a different approach?

When this man saw this, he did not dare to say anything more. If he continued to say anything, Emperor Yan Tu would suspect that he was having an affair. I might not be able to see the sun tomorrow!

He had no choice but to respond and send someone to convey the order.

To evaluate a person's quality, one must comprehensively evaluate it from multiple aspects.

As far as Yan Tuhuang is concerned, it cannot be denied that he and his troops made great contributions in the early days of the anti-Japanese war. His troops fought tenaciously and made great sacrifices. Made outstanding contributions to the cause of anti-Japanese war.

During the governance of Jin Province, Yan Tuhuang also made important contributions to the education and industrial development of Jin Province, making Jin Province a model province for a time.

But after the Taiyuan defense war, he was frightened by the Japanese pirates and his back was broken. From then on, his focus was on preserving his strength. Don't dare to fight with the Japanese.

At this time, he became a speculator, wandering between our side, Jiang Fang, and Japanese side.

Living in the valley for a long time has blocked his news. In addition, he is getting older. The older he gets, the more he trusts his own experience and is less likely to accept new things.

This caused him to not believe that our army could develop so fast, and thought that these achievements were just luck combined with bragging. On the contrary, I judged based on my own experience that the strength of the Japanese pirates in Jin Province is still superior to that of our army.

It also resulted in his later secret collusion with the Japanese and his tendency to surrender to the enemy. Now, he is even ready to surrender to the enemy to the end.

These are the hateful things about Emperor Yan Tu.
