I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 466: It's confirmed, the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese

In fact, based on the brigade commander's understanding of Li Yunlong, he dared to say that he could capture Taiyuan, so maybe there really was such a way.

But the losses will definitely be huge, and the entire Second War Zone can be mobilized by him.

The commander of the Second War Zone is easy to deal with, as long as he lets the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Guerrilla Division keep up the pressure on the Japanese.

At that time, the worst that can happen is that I will leave Taiyuan City to him. I don’t believe he won’t take the bait.

The rest depends on Yoshio Shinozuka. If he tries to defend Taiyuan, he will have to leave a large area of ​​occupied areas to the Eighth Route Army.

“Although I really want to beat you up, I still want to praise you.

It seems that you have made great progress recently and now you know how to consider things from a global perspective.

Let me tell you a good news. Your good brother Wu Changfeng is very worried about your safety.

He has already caught up with us from behind with the Second Rapid Reaction Brigade."

Although Li Yunlong's face was full of joy, what he said still gave a feeling of hypocrisy.

"Chief, don't be fooled by him. That guy is a man who will not do anything without profit.

He knew that I wanted to attack Taiyuan, so he came over to join in the fun.

If you don't believe it, ask him when he comes.

If he travels light, he means he is here to save me.

If he were to bring all the artillery, hehehe, you know what will happen, old leader.

That kid has ulterior motives and is definitely heading for Taiyuan."

"Report, Wu Changfeng is leading the Second Rapid Response Brigade to provide support."

Before the brigade commander could ask him a question, a telegram from the deputy commander-in-chief arrived.

"We basically agree with Li Yunlong's suggestion that the brigade commander be the commander-in-chief of the front line.

Commanded the 1st and 2nd Rapid Reaction Brigades to launch a feint attack on Taiyuan City.

The louder the noise, the better; the more numbers exposed, the better.

We must make the Japanese in Taiyuan think that we are really going to launch a major counterattack."

Wu Changfeng immediately said: "Commander, let our Second Brigade take the lead in the attack!"

Li Yunlong: "We are brothers and we should settle accounts clearly. Why should I let you take the lead?"

Wu Changfeng: "Taiyuan City has high walls and you didn't even bring any cannons with you. Are you going to use grenade launchers to attack the city?

Brigade commander, this time our brigade has brought even the 75mm field artillery with it.

Let us take the lead and we will be sure to win."

The brigade chief suddenly had an idea and remembered what Li Yunlong had just said.

They are really a bunch of guys who will not do anything without profit. Thinking of the two of them, I feel a little bit dizzy.

"What are you arguing about? Both of you, stand outside for five minutes and come back in after you calm down."

On this ordinary summer morning, there was some cool breeze blowing freely.

But it still couldn't blow away the war clouds that were densely covering the land of North China.

The raid in North China caught the Japanese invaders by surprise and also caused the temporary capital and the Second War Zone to suffer a setback.

Since 8 o'clock last night, North China was shocked, China was shocked, and the world was shocked!

But when it came to Japan and Yoshio Shinozuka, it was pure shock.

All of the Japanese's artillery-style strongholds along both sides of the Zhengtai Road suffered almost devastating blows.

Even several railway stations were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and even the Yangquan County was declared to have been liberated by the Eighth Route Army.

A large amount of supplies in the warehouse that had no time to be destroyed were carried back to the base by the Eighth Route Army.

Piles of sleepers were burned in the flames, and the dismantled rails were placed aside, waiting to be transported to the arsenal for recycling.

Under the pressure of bayonets and big wolfhounds, it took a long time to build the roads and trenches.

In just one night, it was completely demolished and filled up by the organized folks.

Large areas of bases were connected together because of this raid.

Telegrams of inquiry from the Second War Zone, the temporary capital and all walks of life came to the Eighth Route Army headquarters like snowflakes.

It also drifted to northern Shaanxi and to the Eighth Route Army offices in various places.

The gate of Zhou Mansion in the temporary capital was blocked by reporters from various newspapers early in the morning.

Everyone is clamoring and insists on getting some first-hand information.

In the end, it was the Gannan Marines who sent out a company to surround Zhou Mansion.

Their reason was that in order to protect the safety of the people in Zhou Mansion, no one was allowed to enter or leave for the time being.

This matter soon reached the attendant's room, and it was said that the people above were very satisfied with it.

If you know yourself, you have long been dissatisfied with those people in the "Eight Offices".

Now we see the Eighth Route Army once again leading the direction of the anti-Japanese war.

His accusation that the Eighth Route Army was just roaming around without fighting was completely groundless.

The Marines were really considerate and surrounded them directly.

This "no entry or exit" policy is really satisfying, and it makes all the garrison troops in the temporary capital look inferior.

The Gannan Marines said: Chief, please don't listen to irrelevant words and don't talk nonsense. We are here to protect you.

Afterwards, people from the "Eighth Office" of the temporary capital came out and issued a simple notice: the results of the battle are still being counted.

It’s confirmed, the Eighth Route Army in North China did take action against the Japanese.

Everyone was talking about it, and it seemed that the argument that the Eighth Route Army was just roaming around without fighting was about to be refuted.

There are also those who insist that the Eighth Route Army is just being mysterious and that all this is false propaganda.

Those lost territories that have just been recovered must have been conquered by the National Army in the Second War Zone.

Some foreign journalists could not stand it anymore. Since there were no spies to threaten them, they spoke without restraint.

"I heard that Yangquan County was recovered by your country, but there is not a single Nationalist army unit within a radius of two hundred miles.

May I ask if the Nationalist troops who recovered Yangquan flew over from Kenanpo?"

The man said, "I, I don't understand English," and turned and left.

The foreign reporter was stunned. Wasn’t what I just said Chinese?

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters has not yet responded to this action.

Ren Jiuge, deputy commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, was the first to issue a shocking notice.

"To commemorate the 1780th birthday of Guan Yu, the Martial Saint, the entire Shanxi province will be a no-fly zone starting this month.

No aircraft from any country other than China is allowed to fly in Shanxi's airspace.

If discovered, it will be regarded as a provocation to the dignity of the Martial Saint.

We will definitely shoot it down to comfort the heroic spirit, I hope everyone will know this."

The telegram was signed by: Shanxi Wusheng Birthday Memorial Committee, Executive Chairman Song Wenwan, and Chairman, Commander-in-Chief of the Second War Zone.

The communications director held the telegram draft and looked at Brother Ren Jiu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Deputy Commander Ren, are you sure this nationwide telegram can be sent out?"

Brother Ren Jiu covered his face and said, "Just go ahead and post it if I tell you to. Anyway, Commander Song is the signature. What are you afraid of?"

He thought to himself: Isn't it too embarrassing that you can come up with such a lame excuse?

Secretariat: Are you from the Second War Zone also getting carried away by the victory won by the Eighth Route Army?

Do you dare to order the Japanese to ban their flights?

The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone looked at the telegram and saw his name in the signature.

"Where is Commander Song? Ask him to come see me.

I want to ask him, what is he going to do? Is he trying to trick me?"

The deputy commander-in-chief looked at the empty operations room and searched loudly for Song Wenwan's figure.

"Where's Commander Xiao Song? Where did he go? Why isn't he in the operations room?

Ask him to come over and explain to me what this province-wide flight ban means?

And what is the profound significance of celebrating the birthday of Guandi, the Martial Saint?

Why didn’t our Eighth Route Army troops participate in it?”
