On the afternoon of the 19th, it was the second day after Changzhi was captured.
Official residence in the mountain city of Huangshan.
"Niang Xipi, you are incompetent. What on earth do Sun Dianying want to do? You can't win even a single Lingchuan. I don't think the military pay for the second half of the year will be allocated to the New Fifth Army!"
"This is how your Political Department carries out its work in the army. I think the people in the Political Training Department of the New Fifth Army are just a bunch of losers!"
As soon as Qian Dajun, the director of the Attendant's Office, entered the door, he saw the old man scolding Chen Cheng, the director of the Political Department, while Chen Cheng remained silent, secretly thinking that it was bad luck that he was the one who reported the battle situation of the New Fifth Army.
Everyone who is close to Mr. Jiang knows that if the old man scolds you, it just means that he values you. At this time, you can just accept it.
"Mu Yin, are there any battle reports coming from Tainan?"
Qian Dajun had a gentle smile on his face, and then said: "Principal, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, which has a single-line contact with my attendant's office, sent a telegram. Not long ago, the 358th Regiment has recaptured the entire territory of Changzi County and annihilated all of them.
The Japanese army, Chu Yunfei specially sent a telegram to the principal!"
When Jiang heard this, his sulky expression just now turned into a smile: "Okay, I have to be a student from Huangpu to be reliable!"
"Principal, you have always treated Huangpu military cadets like your own children. Officers who graduated from Huangpu have always obeyed the principal's orders. Of course, they must fight bloody battles to repay the principal's high expectations!" Qian Dajun has always been good at talking.
As soon as the words came out, they immediately touched Jiang's heart.
You know, Chiang Kai-shek made his fortune by relying on the Huangpu Student Army, and he was able to avoid all the disputes in the Nationalist Government thanks to having such a military force in his hands.
However, when I thought that the Eighth Route Army had already recaptured Changzhi, the New Fifth Army attached to the Hebei-Cha War Zone was fighting a mess in Lingchuan and was unable to produce any results.
Jiang's face couldn't help but change again: "Mu Yin, the attendant's office immediately sent a report to the headquarters of the New Fifth Army on my behalf, ordering it to recover Lingchuan before tomorrow, otherwise the New Fifth Army will not even think about any military pay in the future!"
"At the same time, Fan Hanjie's 27th Army was ordered to move east immediately and hand over to the Eighth Route Army that had recaptured Changzhi in accordance with the previously agreed upon agreement!"
"The rest of the first theater units immediately launched attacks on the surrounding Japanese troops!"
"Principal, I'll do it right away!"
Jiang was a master at playing politics, but when it came to military command, he could only be a regiment commander. Previously, the units in the first theater had not received combat orders at all.
The National Army troops do not have the discipline and organizational power of the Eighth Route Army troops. Now a sudden combat order will inevitably cause chaos in the troops. Of course Qian Dajun understands this truth, but how could he interrupt the old man's elegance!
At this time, the situation around Changzhi was that Zhou Weihan, in the name of the Japanese military headquarters, ordered the Japanese reinforcements in the south of Changzhi not to reinforce, but to return to the defense area and continue to hold on.
In half a day, the reinforcing Japanese troops did not go very far. However, the New Fifth Army and the Forty Army were too afraid of the Japanese army. On the first day of the offensive, they invested too few troops and missed the best opportunity to attack.
.
In the eldest son, Tunliu, in the east of Changzhi, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment are progressing smoothly.
Just as the battle report said, the 358th Regiment fully recovered the eldest son, while the New Second Regiment occupied the area except Tunliu County.
After Chu Yunfei received the commendation telegram from Jiang's attendant room, he couldn't help but feel proud. Compared with other Huangpu fifth-term trainees, Chu Yunfei, who was in the Shanxi-Sui Army, had a slightly stagnant official career.
However, in the battle of the eldest son, Chu Yunfei came into the eyes of the principal again, and his promotion in the future was inevitable.
The eldest son’s garrison commander is named Kamesaburo Kawada, who is the younger brother of Tsutsutaro Kawada, commander of the 10th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army.
Previously, this person insisted on encircling and annihilating the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taiyue Military Region. However, after hearing that his younger brother had died at the hands of the Shanxi-Sui Army, he immediately reported it to the First Army Headquarters, using the excuse of purging the rear armed forces, and vowed to fight with the 358th Regiment.
A showdown.
Chu Yunfei was worthy of being a little expert in helping others. He solved the siege in the Taiyue Military Region in one fell swoop and successfully attracted the Japanese firepower to the 358th Regiment.
Headquarters inside Changzhi City.
Xing Zhiguo came out of the telegraph room and walked into Zhou Weihan's office with a bunch of telegrams in his hand.
"Look, there are more than a dozen telegrams from several counties asking for help!" Xing Zhiguo threw the telegrams on his desk.
"The Japanese troops in Gaoping and Huguan counties asked when reinforcements would arrive. The city wall fortifications could no longer withstand the attack of the Forty Army!"
"The Japanese troops in Lingchuan also reported that the New Fifth Army has surrounded Lingchuan County and all the positions outside the city have been lost!" Xing Zhiguo said one by one.
"It's still the same as before, let them defend on the spot. The reinforcements encountered the Eighth Route Army's obstruction and are on their way. This time it's the little devil's turn to show off the bushido spirit!" Zhou Weihan said casually.
"Is this good? If this matter is exposed later, will it..." Xing Zhiguo said worriedly.
Why is Xing Zhiguo so worried? In fact, the battle in Lin County is coming to an end at this time. Unlike the Japanese army in Huguan and other places, the Japanese army in Lin County received a telegram to abandon the city wall fortifications and disperse towards the mountainous areas to break out to conserve strength.
Plan for follow-up orders.
The Japanese troops in Lin County were stunned after receiving the telegram. They failed to defend their well-established fortifications and dispersed to break out?
After repeated confirmation with Changzhi, the Japanese troops in Lin County indeed strictly implemented the orders of their superiors.
As a result, as soon as they left the city, they were attacked by the 281st Regiment and the anti-Japanese armed forces headed by Zhang Hao in both directions.
Therefore, with such differentiated treatment, once this matter was exposed after the war, Xing Zhiguo was worried that it would be used as an excuse for the national army to criticize the Eighth Route Army.
Zhou Weihan was not worried about this at all: "Old Xing, you are good at everything, but you are too honest. We have a living Japanese telegraph operator in our hands. Who knows about this? Who would think about it?"
"Besides, Fan Hanjie's 27th Army will arrive in Changzhi tomorrow. As long as he is sensible, he will not dare to do anything openly. At most, he will make some small moves secretly!"
"But once the New Fifth Army and the Forty Army end the battle today, then the National Army will have three armies gathered in Tainan, which is equivalent to three knives on the necks of our independent detachment!"
"Do you believe that Chiang Kai-shek dared to let them directly attack our base area? Our independent detachment is very strong, but we cannot sacrifice ourselves in the battle with the national army in vain!" Zhou Weihan continued.
"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense, but my thinking was a bit one-sided!"
Zhou Weihan's words are not alarmist. The current situation in Tainan is somewhat clever.
The Japanese troops on the middle route who came from the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains did not retreat after learning that the siege of Changzhi had been lifted. With the intention of wiping out the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they continued to fight on the Handan-Changchang Highway.
In Zhou Weihan's vision, if the spheres of influence of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army were bordering each other, it would be difficult to coexist, and they would fall into internal strife, with the Japanese army watching the excitement.
The Japanese army, a third-party force, must be allowed to join in and act as a lubricant to maintain the tacit understanding between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
