The reason why Xing Zhiguo dared to conclude that the high-level Japanese army did not know that Changzhi had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army was because after the soldiers occupied the Japanese army headquarters, they captured the Japanese telegraph personnel, four radio stations, code books and a telegram from Yuncheng Airport.
.
The telegram stated that the plane at Yuncheng Airport had returned to the airport, was replenishing fuel supplies, and was confirming with Changzhi whether air support was needed.
At that time, the aircraft of the Tainan Military Region Flying Team had arrived in the sky over Changzhi. The little Japanese telegraph operator who received the telegram was a little confused at the time and could not figure out why Yuncheng Airport had to send an inquiry telegram since the air support had already arrived.
Then he found the telecommunications section chief who was directly under his leadership to sign for the telegram. At that time, Jiro Ikeda was directing operations at the city gate. When the telecommunications section chief arrived, he was just in time to catch up with the plane for bombing. The result was of course predictable.
The person responsible for occupying the Japanese headquarters was the Second Company of the First Regiment, and the instructor of the Second Company, Wang Qi, was a combat staff officer assigned from the Staff Office.
Wang Qi is a knowledgeable person. The telecommunications department is the primary target of the Second Company, and the radio stations among them are scarce telecommunications equipment. He personally leads people to inspect them.
When Wang Qi saw the telegram in the folder on the table, there was a clear time for the payment to be made. He immediately realized that this was an important piece of information, and then quickly sent someone to notify Zhou Weihan, who had just entered the city.
Subsequently, under Zhou Weihan's instruction and after some friendly exchanges, the little Japanese telegraph operator finally compromised and sent a telegram to Yuncheng Airport, stating that the Eighth Route Army troops besieging Changzhi had been repulsed and no air support was needed.
In Zhou Weihan's words, mastering this little Japanese telegraph operator is like mastering a living Japanese military headquarters.
With such convenience, Zhou Weihan certainly would not waste its value. He immediately asked the little Japanese telegraph operator to send a report to the Japanese reinforcements in Gaoping, Huguan, Lingchuan and other places, asking them to return to the original route, hold on to the defense zone, and resist the attack of the national army.
The Thirty-sixth Division, Thirty-seventh Division, and even the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan received telegrams from Changzhi.
However, the Japanese army did not have only one communication radio station in the city. The secret service could still contact the top brass of the Japanese army. That was why Xing Zhiguo told all ministries not to take it lightly and make two preparations in case of emergencies.
Yetao Town, Shexian County, Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The boss listened to the telegraph operator's report about the battle situation in Changzhi reported by the independent detachment. When he heard that with the air support of the flying team, the independent detachment successfully broke into the city.
The boss's calm expression finally changed. He raised his eyebrows and held it in for a long time before saying, "Good guy, Zhou Weihan really got the plane at Changzhi Airport!"
Many headquarters officers gathered around were also in an uproar. Only the headquarters, division headquarters and several heads of Yanzhou knew about this plan before.
Regarding Zhou Weihan's request to his superiors to assign pilots, the boss and others also had the idea of doing three things if there was no date, but who knew it would actually happen.
"Boss, our Eighth Route Army now has its own air force?" a cadre from the headquarters asked excitedly.
"We can't talk about it. We just seized a few planes. This matter is of great importance and must be kept secret!" the boss ordered.
"We understand the confidentiality regulations!"
There are indispensable intelligence personnel from all sides in Changzhi City. The air force's bombing of Changzhi City must not be hidden from the battle.
"Boss, do you need to inform the chief of staff now to inform the national army that Changzhi City has been captured by our army?" asked an officer from the staff office.
"Don't worry, there must be a lot of things going on with Zhou Weihan. We have to give him time to find out what the current situation is with the 129th Division and the Northern Bureau!"
The boss asked immediately.
"Under the command of the 129th Division, the two regiments of the Taibei Military Region have jumped to the outside line. They are expected to launch an attack on Yangquan and Pingding tonight, forcing the Japanese army to mop up the troops and return reinforcements!"
"As the Japanese troops raiding the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains have moved to the Handan-Changchun Highway, the Northern Bureau and the Party School have moved to Zanhuang County in western Hebei and other places!"
"Okay, as soon as Changzhi moves, the siege will come to an end." After hearing this, the boss nodded and said, "Inform the ministries to hold on for two days at most, and then our Eighth Route Army will pursue the Japanese mopping up troops.
Hit behind the butt!"
"Boss, you seem to be very confident in what you said. The Japanese army's large-scale raids have just started a few days ago. According to the usual practice, the Japanese army will raid my base area for at least half a month!"
"Hey, I'm not sure about the Japanese army. I'm sure about the man named Jiang who is so happy about his success in Shancheng. Now the situation around southern Shanxi has become very clear. There has been no movement from the Central Army in the first theater. It's just him, Mr. Jiang.
People are reluctant to spend money, just watch it, once the news of Changzhi being captured spreads, the Central Army will definitely be dispatched in order to consolidate the Changzhi area!"
"Do you think this autumn offensive is in vain?" The boss still knows Jiang, an old rival, very well.
"By the way, send a report to Yanzhou and say that the Cloud Project has been successful and ten clouds have successfully ascended to the sky!" the boss said to the Director of Telecommunications.
On the 18th, a cave dwelling in Yanzhou.
Several of our senior officials gathered together, and Comrade Xiang Wu was reading a telegram from the Eighth Route Army headquarters to everyone present.
When they heard that the Cloud Project was successfully implemented, everyone clapped their hands to celebrate, and the teacher comrades scattered the few cigarettes in the cigarette pack to everyone.
"Old man, you are very generous today!" the boss joked.
"I'm so happy. I didn't expect that this little fellow like me is so good that Project Cloud was successful!" Comrade Teacher exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile.
"Then what to do with these ten aircraft? Should they be transferred back to guard the safety of Yanzhou, or should they be left on the front line to assist in front-line operations?" Comrade Xiang Wu asked.
"Boss, you are the commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army. What do you think about this matter?"
"Yanzhou, where we are located, has been bombed by Japanese aircraft many times. We really need a flying team to change the passive situation. It is gratifying to have captured ten aircraft, but in comparison, the force is still too weak!"
"Besides, the distance from Taihang Mountain to Yanzhou is not short. Once the plane takes off from Tainan, it is likely to be blocked by Japanese aircraft. Whether it can reach Yanzhou smoothly is still a problem!" the boss analyzed carefully.
"Well, then we'll stay in Tainan. I'm used to Japanese bombings. How can I blow up the cave dwelling?" The instructor comrade finally made the decision.
"Then how should we deal with the many problems that Zhou Weihan mentioned when the national army takes over Changzhi?" Comrade Xiang Wu continued.
I saw the instructor comrade suddenly stood up and said immediately: "It's easy to handle. The troops in the Tainan Military Region are very strong. Just tell Zhou Weihan six words: Don't be proactive and don't be passive!"
