Although it was not clear who did it, all the officers, including Principal Chang, were still very happy.

Because this news can be inspiring to both frontline soldiers and ordinary people across the country.

After this battle, the Japanese 41st Division was basically disabled, and the National Army's 14th Army was no longer in danger of being surrounded and eaten by the Japanese army.

Principal Chang asked Dai Yunong, director of the Military Statistics Bureau: "Have you found out who is providing air support to the 14th Group Army this time?"

"Report to the principal." Boss Dai stood up and said, "We haven't found out yet, but according to the information sent back by the agents lurking in the top brass of the Japanese military, even the top brass of the Japanese military are confused. It seems that Yuncheng Airport was attacked by unidentified Chinese troops.

With a large number of pilots occupying it, it is now certain that the planes that bombed the Japanese army took off from Yuncheng Airport."

Principal Chang nodded slightly and urged: "Yunong, your military command bureau will find out who did it as soon as possible. I will reward you heavily!"

"Yes, principal, we will investigate this matter as soon as possible." After Boss Dai finished his reply, he sat back on his chair.

Then someone else said: "Principal, although the 14th Army is temporarily safe, the 5th Army on the Western Front is still in a critical situation and is being besieged by two Japanese divisions."

Principal Chang then asked: "Regarding the current situation of the 5th Army, do you have any good strategies to help the 5th Army get out of the siege?"

All the senior officers present fell silent, no one dared to speak, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.

Heavily surrounded by two Japanese divisions, the 21st Division of the Japanese Front Army marched north from Henan.

Now the Japanese army has two divisions. The 3rd division is just encircling. The Japanese 21st division has arrived. I am afraid that the Japanese army will launch a general attack on the 5th Army.

By then, he would be under siege by three Japanese divisions, and it would be difficult for the gods to save him.

It's good that the strategy you proposed works, but if it doesn't, I'm afraid the responsibility for the defeat of the war will fall on the person who proposed the strategy.

After all, the principal will not admit a failure in command. Not only will he not admit it, he is also good at finding scapegoats.

No one dares to say anything at this time.

Seeing that the senior military officers of the party and state were doing nothing, Principal Chang immediately said angrily.

"Niang Xipi, they are all a bunch of trash and losers!"

"I usually see you talking loudly at cocktail parties, but now that you're here, why can't you say anything?"

"What does the party state do to support you?"

A group of senior officers became even more silent after hearing this. Even the principal knew what was discussed at the reception?

Principal Chang looked at Liu Fei and said, "The Minister of National Defense is not here. As Zhang, you, the Minister of National Defense, must find a way."

The commander of the First War Zone, Wei Lihuang, was under house arrest in Mount Emei. Principal Chang sent Minister He to supervise the war. However, due to many reasons, the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain suffered successive defeats.

For several days in a row, the faces of Principal Chang and all the officers were filled with sadness. Only today did good news come, and a little smile appeared on their faces.

Liu Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Principal, I think that the only way to break the siege of the 5th Army is to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao."

"Oh?" Principal Chang's expression changed and he said, "Please tell me in detail."

Liu Fei said: "The main force of the Japanese First Army, four divisions and two brigades, are now in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. If the Shanxi-Sui Army can send a surprise force from Luliang to the east to besiege Taiyuan, forcing the Japanese army to send troops back for reinforcements,

As a result, now that the battlefield on the eastern front of Zhongtiao Shandong has stabilized, the Japanese army can only transfer troops from the western battlefield. Even if one division is transferred, the pressure on the 5th Army will be reduced sharply. Perhaps the 5th Army can take this opportunity.

Breakout."

Principal Chang's face darkened when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "Mother Xipi, this Yan Bochuan, I even sent several telegrams to him and refused to listen, let alone march eastward to attack Taiyuan, he will only reach out for money and food.

, need weapons and ammunition, if everyone is like him and just wants to preserve their strength, I think this country will be finished sooner or later!"

An officer tentatively said: "Since Yan Bochuan did not obey the order, how about letting the Eighth Route Army attack Taiyuan? Last year they claimed to have more than a hundred regiments. If the Eighth Route Army attacks Taiyuan, it may be able to achieve the strategic goal mentioned by Director Liu.

"

In last year's Hundred Regiment Campaign, the Eighth Route Army used more than 100 regiments and killed more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops.

This made Principal Chang both happy and angry. He was happy because the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but angry because the Eighth Route Army was developing rapidly and becoming stronger.

As soon as these words came out, an officer immediately retorted: "Yan Bochuan doesn't obey orders, how can the Eighth Route Army obey orders? Besides, with those broken guns and cannons on the Eighth Route Army, can they really pose a threat to Taiyuan? I'm afraid even

We can’t even capture a city like Yangquan, let alone Taiyuan.”

Another officer sneered: "The Eighth Route Army only fights guerrillas. If they really want to attack Taiyuan, I'm afraid they won't even be able to shake the Japanese peripheral fortifications in Taiyuan."

After Liu Fei finished speaking, the officer retorted: "I don't think so. Not long ago, the Eighth Route Army captured the county town, twice, and even killed a Japanese cavalry regiment. I think the Eighth Route Army is stronger than the Shanxi-Sui Army."

Be stronger."

All the officers immediately started arguing with each other, and no one could convince anyone.

Upon seeing this, Principal Chang slammed the table and scolded: "Mother Xipi, don't quarrel anymore. I let you come up with ideas without talking. You are good at quarreling. Can you drive away the Japanese invaders by quarreling? You can just quarrel."

Can we relieve the siege of the 5th Army?"

The officers fell silent again. Seeing this, Principal Chang sighed heavily.

At this moment, a young officer shouted a report. After receiving permission, he opened the door and walked in: "Report to the committee, a good report has been sent from the Second Theater Command!"

Good news for the second theater of war?

Principal Chang and the officers all had expressions of change.

Could it be that Yan Laoxi sent troops and achieved results?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Principal Chang said: "Read it!"

"Yes!" the young officer opened the folder and read, "Affiliated to the First Department of the 386th Brigade of the 18th Group Army of the Second Theater and the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, they captured Yangquan two hours ago and completely annihilated the Japanese 3rd Brigade across the border.

There are more than 5,000 people from the First Border Regiment and the 5th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army. The Second Theater Command requested awards and allocated food, weapons and ammunition..."

Principal Chang looked delighted and immediately interrupted: "Okay, stop reciting, just recite the first part!"

Needless to say what follows, Principal Chang knew that Yan Bochuan was asking for money, food, and weapons, and he also had specific amounts.

This Yan Bochuan is not only stingy, but also extremely shameless.

The Eighth Route Army won the battle, but he wanted to apply for a commendation. His face was thicker than the city wall.

Bang bang bang——

When a group of senior military officers heard this, they burst into applause.

The officer who had just said that the Eighth Route Army could not capture Yangquan looked very embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl under. Seeing that everyone was applauding, he had no choice but to raise his hands and applaud.

Principal Chang smiled and praised: "Dry dripping is good, dry dripping is good!"

After a pause, Principal Chang added: "Hurry up and contact the Eighth Route Army office to verify which troops of the 386th Brigade participated in the siege. I want to send a telegram of commendation!"

"Yes!" The young officer closed the folder, saluted, walked out and closed the door.

Liu Fei said: "Principal, over there at the Second Theater Command..."

Principal Chang said: "Call back to Yan Bochuan. If he is willing to send troops eastward to attack Taiyuan, I can give him money, food and weapons and equipment. If he doesn't move, I won't get a penny or a gun."

…

East of Yangquan City.

The previous freight train had already entered Yangquan Railway Station.

After the Japanese Tengjia Cavalry Regiment passed through Niangzi Pass, they marched quickly and reached the east of Fengzhang Mountain in just one hour.

The Japs' leading cavalry force, numbering about a hundred or so, appeared first on the horizon, raising a cloud of dust.

The leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron ordered to stop about 1.5 kilometers away from Fengzhang Mountain, picked up the telescope and started looking.

Then, through the telescope, I saw on the wide ground in front of Fengzhang Mountain, a group of about 2,000 people walking eastward carrying large and small bags.

The Eighth Route Army seemed to have noticed the arrival of the Japanese cavalry, and fled towards Fengzhang Mountain in a panic. The cavalry squadron leader even saw several Eighth Route Army soldiers falling.

Within a few minutes, a large Japanese cavalry force rumbled in from behind.

Captain Teng Koshiro scolded: "Baga, why did you stop advancing?"

The cavalry squadron leader reported: "Report to Colonel, a large number of Eighth Route Infantry were found in front, fleeing towards Fengzhang Mountain!"

"Nani?" Fujikoshiro quickly picked up the telescope on his chest and looked at it, and saw the scene that the cavalry squadron leader saw just now.

The Eighth Route Army seemed to be very panicked when they saw the Japanese cavalry. They rolled and crawled and even dropped a lot of the captured loot.

Tengjia Zilang curled his lips slightly and sneered: "The Eighth Route Army is nothing more than that. When they saw our Tengjia Cavalry Regiment, they were immediately scared to death."

Chief of Staff Jinmura Yisan said: "Your Majesty Colonel, the map shows that after passing Fengzhang Mountain, there is an open area. Tubal Road's move is to establish a defensive position on Fengzhang Mountain."

Fujikoshiro picked up his binoculars and looked towards Fengzhang Mountain. The original fortifications had been blown to pieces, and he could even see the corpses of many Japanese and puppet soldiers.

However, Fengzhang Mountain is not steep, the slope is only thirty degrees, and the cavalry can climb it with a single charge.

"Commander Tubalu is smart and reacts very quickly. He knows that he can't escape and prepares to defend the mountain." Fujikoshiro sneered, "But, do Tubalu think that a mere Fengzhang Mountain can withstand the iron hooves of the Imperial Japanese Army's cavalry?

?”

Kamura Gizo advised: "Captain, the Eighth Route Army also has cavalry. This may be a trap by the Eighth Route Army. We should wait for the Nakamura Infantry Regiment to arrive before launching an attack!"

"The Nakamura Infantry Regiment won't arrive until tomorrow." Fujikoshiro said, "By the time they arrive, Tubal Road will have already been dozens of kilometers away. If Tubal Road is let go, will you be responsible for it, Kimura-kun?"

Kimura Yisan hesitated and said: "This..."

Murderous intent surged in Fujikoshiro's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Send the order, the cavalry artillery squadron will immediately shell the Eighth Route Army, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Cavalry Squadrons will be ready to attack Tubal Road at any time!"
