Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo were watching the time, waiting for news from Zhang Dabiao.
After all, this is no small matter. If things go wrong, a fight will break out.
At this time, the main enemy of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army was still the Japanese army, and no one wanted to be accused of sabotaging the war of resistance.
If things go smoothly, there should be news coming at this time.
If a battle breaks out, with the combat effectiveness of two cavalry battalions, half of the 1st Battalion and the Sword Squadron, the battle can be resolved in half an hour at most.
The troops and firepower of the New Regiment arriving at Woniu Mountain could easily defeat the entire 358th Regiment, let alone the first battalion of the 358th Regiment.
What's more, Kong Jie's independent regiment defense area is very close to Woniu Mountain.
Kong Jie also received a greeting from Li Yunlong. Once a battle breaks out on Woniu Mountain, the independent regiment will soon come with reinforcements.
With the current combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, it can easily defeat several divisions of the Jinsui Army.
"Report to the leader, political commissar!"
"An emergency call from the first battalion!"
A telegraph soldier quickly walked into the regiment headquarters and saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
"oh?"
Everyone stood up and their eyes could not help but light up slightly.
Zhang Dabiao sent a telegram at this time, indicating that things went smoothly and no large-scale conflict broke out.
Zhang Dabiao led the cavalry, sword squadron and infantry to recapture American equipment and ammunition.
He immediately ordered a telegram to be sent to the headquarters of the new regiment.
Li Yunlong ordered: "Read it!"
"Yes!" The telegraph soldier picked up the telegram and read out: "Our unit has successfully completed the mission, recaptured American equipment and ammunition, and completed the disarm of the 358th Regiment First Battalion and the transportation team. No bloodshed occurred. We are now returning.
On the road to Zhaojiayu, First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao!"
Because Zhang Dabiao is already at the level of regimental deputy.
Therefore, in this transaction operation, the combined battalion composed of the two cavalry battalions of the new regiment, half of the 1st Battalion and the Sword Squadron was fully commanded by Zhang Dabiao.
Hearing this, everyone's tense expressions relaxed slightly. It's good that no bloodshed occurred.
Li Yunlong then looked at Wang Dehou: "Wang Dehou, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to bring 12 75mm mountain guns and 2 base shells back to the headquarters."
Since southeastern Shanxi is relatively far away from Luliang Mountain, the 12 75mm mountain guns and 2 base shells given to the Shanxi-Sui Army from the headquarters are on their way to Luliang Mountain.
Wang Dehou prepared two telegrams for the headquarters, one was a telegram that there was a firefight between the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army, and the other was a telegram that there was no firefight between the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army.
There is a different approach at the headquarters when there is a firefight or when there is no firefight.
In short, Li Yunlong's action this time was approved by the head of the headquarters. Even if the first battalion of the 358th Regiment was wiped out, as long as the Jinsui Army fired the first shot, nothing would happen to Li Yunlong.
With Li Yunlong's current status in the Eighth Route Army, as long as he does not commit any principled mistakes such as betrayal, the head of the headquarters will support Li Yunlong.
And Li Yunlong has been fighting with the party for more than 10 years. Now he is extremely rich, so it is naturally impossible for him to betray.
Even with a knife on his neck and a gun on his forehead, Li Yunlong would never betray him.
"yes!"
Wang Dehou straightened up and quickly handed the telegram that showed no exchange of fire to the telegraph soldier: "Send to headquarters immediately!"
"yes!"
The telegraph soldier held the telegram in his hand and left quickly.
…
Southeast Shanxi.
Liao County.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
In the war room of the headquarters, almost all the leaders from southeast Shanxi, including Commander Liu and Brigadier Chen, arrived.
The atmosphere in the war room was a little heavy.
Commander Liu and Brigadier Chen have stated that if Yan Xishan dares to send troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi, the main force of the 129th Division and the 386th Brigade will approach Luliang Mountain.
Although the Jinsui Army attacked the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi, it was still seeking death.
But Commander Liu and Brigadier Chen firmly agreed with Li Yunlong's approach.
The heads of the headquarters all adhere to the principle that I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them.
Since Yan Xishan was in the first year of junior high school, don't blame the Eighth Route Army for being in the fifteenth year.
At this moment, a telegraph soldier from the headquarters walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand.
"Report to the chief, urgent call from the new group!"
"Read it quickly!"
"yes!"
"In accordance with the instructions of the headquarters, our department has recaptured American equipment and ammunition, and has completed the disarmament of the first battalion and transportation team of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army. There has been no exchange of fire. The new commander of the first regiment, Li Yunlong!"
After the telegraph soldier finished reading the contents of the telegram, he placed the telegram on the table.
"Well done!"
The division commander's lips curled up slightly in praise. The disarmament was completed without a firefight. This matter is not that complicated.
The most important thing is to teach Yan Xishan a lesson.
The leader nodded with satisfaction: "Immediately send a telegram to Yan Xishan, remember not to send it by mistake, and also send a telegram to the transportation team to ask them to return to the headquarters immediately."
The headquarters also prepared two telegrams for Yan Xishan. One telegram was about a firefight and the killing of the first battalion of the 358th Regiment.
The other telegram was that there was no exchange of fire, only the disarmament of weapons.
The transport team also carried radio stations, and at this time it had not yet left the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi.
"yes!"
The telegraph soldier took two telegrams in his hand and left quickly.
…
Luliang Mountain.
Kenanpo.
Second Theater Command Chief's Department.
Yan Xishan was fishing again with a leisurely expression, as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
In Yan Xishan's view, the main reason why the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi has such combat effectiveness is that it is equipped with American weapons and ammunition.
Yan Xishan knew that the Eighth Route Army troops dared to fight tooth and nail.
In this regard, the Jinsui Army was indeed inferior, and the Japanese spies were very infiltrated. With the same strength, the Jinsui Army was indeed inferior to the Eighth Route Army.
However, Yan Xishan is not too worried about the current situation.
Sooner or later there will be a big battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army in North China.
Although the Eighth Route Army has grown stronger in the past two years, especially the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi, its combat effectiveness has been extremely strong.
But the Japanese army was not a vegetarian, otherwise it would not have been possible for them to invade and capture most of China in just a few years.
When both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army are defeated, and the fools on both sides are beaten out, the Shanxi-Sui Army will be able to reap the benefits and regain control of Shanxi.
In Yan Xishan's view, both the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were enemies of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and both came to Shanxi to compete with the Shanxi-Sui Army for territory.
Making a deal with the Eighth Route Army was just a temporary measure.
"I haven't been back to Taiyuan for a long time..."
Yan Xishan suddenly missed his days in Taiyuan.
At this moment, Yang Xingru, deputy commander of the Second Theater Command, walked over quickly with a folder in his hand, his face slightly ugly.
"You go down first."
Yang Xingruping pushed back Yan Xishan's personal guards, and then whispered to Yan Xishan who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai:
"Report to the commander, something happened."
Yan Xishan turned his head slightly to glance at Yang Xingru, and asked without any change in his expression: "What happened?"
"Commander, a telegram has just been sent from the Eighth Route Army headquarters."
Yang Xingru reported:
"We placed... No, the agents and spies placed by the military commander and the Japanese army among the skilled workers in the arsenal were exposed and shot and wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers."
"The Eighth Route Army believes that they are military agents and spies planted under your command, Commander, and has obtained evidence. Not only did they snatch back the American equipment, but they also disarmed the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment and the transportation team."
"What?"
Yan Xishan was shocked and stood up suddenly.
But because I had been sitting for too long, I suddenly stood up, lost my balance, and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Yang Xingru had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he helped Yan Xishan to prevent Yan Xishan from falling into the fish pond.
Yan Xishan's eyes widened, he never expected that this transaction would have such a result.
Yang Xingru continued: "The deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army also said that I will not attack others unless they attack me. If they attack me, I will attack them. I advise you, Commander, to take care of yourself."
Yan Xishan's mouth twitched.
Although the 18th Group Army nominally belonged to the Second War Zone, the Eighth Route Army neither listened to propaganda nor listened to instructions, and did not listen to Yan Xishan's command at all.
At present, the strength of the 18th Group Army far exceeds that of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and is far beyond their reach.
Yan Xishan was furious: "Which military commander or spy was so stupid as to shoot and wound the soldiers of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army? Wouldn't they also hit the officers of the Eighth Route Army?"
"Commander, I have a different opinion."
Yang Xingru said:
"The Eighth Route Army headquarters has sent over the lists of general agents and Japanese spies."
"This shows that the Eighth Route Army got the list of agents and spies before the deal was made. It was part of the Eighth Route Army's plan to seize American equipment and disarm the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment."
"You mean..." Yan Xishan winced slightly, "The information was leaked in advance?"
Yang Xingru nodded: "Yes!"
Yan Xishan's expression changed slightly. If this is the case, the situation will become complicated.
In this case, the Eighth Route Army must have indeed obtained the information that he ordered general agents and Japanese spies to be placed among the skilled workers.
"Commander, what should we do now?"
Seeing Yan Xishan deep in thought, Yang Xingru asked.
"Did the 358th Regiment have any fighting with the Eighth Route Army?" Yan Xishan asked.
"Judging from this telegram sent from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, there should be no exchange of fire." Yang Xingru said.
"If there is no exchange of fire, then there is still room for maneuver." Yan Xishan said, "Immediately send a telegram back to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, saying that this is all a misunderstanding. I, Yan Xishan, have no idea about military reunification agents and Japanese spies.
I will definitely investigate this matter strictly and ask the Eighth Route Army to return the technical workers of the arsenal and the equipment of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment and the transportation team to our Shanxi-Sui Army."
"Understood, Commander."
Yang Xingru nodded and said that they were investigating the matter strictly, but they were just looking for someone to take the blame for Yan Xishan.
This matter was entrusted to the intelligence staff by Yang Xingru, so it was appropriate for this person to take the blame.
Soon, Yang Xingru drafted a telegram and then asked: "Commander, what if the Eighth Route Army refuses to return the skilled workers and the equipment of the 358th Regiment?"
"What should I do?" Yan Xishan snorted coldly, "Cold salad!"
The telegram from the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army had an obvious threat.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army had intelligence evidence that he had placed military reunification agents and Japanese spies among skilled workers.
He, Yan Xishan, did not dare to say that the Eighth Route Army sabotaged the War of Resistance. It was precisely because of the intelligence evidence in hand that the Eighth Route Army dared to do so.
This clearly shows that the gangsters are attacking the gangsters, and Yan Xishan has nothing to do about it.
