"The Japanese army was attracted by the large-scale retreat of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. They only cared about recovering the blocks outside the city, biting the Eighth Route Army's ass and pushing them to the outer city, and then ignored the search for the blocks inside the city."

"As a result, this ambush of the Eighth Route Army was able to successfully conceal the truth."

"Then, the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly turned around and went south, killing a carbine."

"In the end, the Japanese army was caught off guard by the internal and external coordination of the Eighth Route Army, and Taiyuan fell directly."

After a pause, Fang Ligong said again: "Although this is just an insider's guess, I think it should be the truth."

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said with some helplessness: "That is to say, our Unique Brigade and the Central Army's 94th Brigade sent troops to seize Heyuan County and Fu'an County, but helped the Eighth Route Army, right?"

"Yes." Fang Ligong said with a wry smile, "If our two brigades hadn't sent troops to contain the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, I'm afraid Li Yunlong and Wang Ye wouldn't have been able to sing this song."

After a pause, he added: "The Japanese army will not lose Taiyuan."

"Hmph." Chu Yunfei sneered and said again, "Does that mean we helped the Eighth Route Army instead?"

"Yes." Fang Ligong said, "I really don't know how Shangfeng would feel when he heard the news? Originally, he just wanted to contain the Eighth Route Army, but he shot himself in the foot with a stone, and instead helped the Eighth Route Army take down the to Taiyuan."

Chu Yunfei's face collapsed, but he didn't say much, because he was very grateful to the old officer Yan Xishan, and he was even more loyal to the principal Chang Kaishen.

Fang Ligong said again: "Traveler, what should we do now?"

"Hmph, things are easy on our side now." Chu Yunfei said, "Let's send a congratulatory message."

"Congratulatory message?" Fang Ligong was stunned when he heard the words, and said blankly, "What congratulatory message? You mean the seat?"

"That's right, send a congratulatory message to the 94th Brigade, and ask the war zone chief to also send a congratulatory message to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army." Chu Yunfei snorted and continued, "But we must add this sentence, the Eighth Route Army is in our Shanxi-Sui The Taiyuan City was captured only with the close cooperation of the [-]st Brigade of the Central Army and the [-]th Brigade of the Central Army.”

"Traveler, you mean?" Fang Ligong's eyes lit up.

"That's right, we are also singing with the Eighth Route Army." Chu Yunfei hummed.

"I understand." Fang Ligong was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Then I will send telegrams to the [-]th Brigade and the Commander's Department, explaining clearly the contribution of the only brigade of the Jinsui Army."

……

Taiyue Mountain Base, [-] Brigade Headquarters.

It was late at night, but the brigade commander didn't feel sleepy. He stood at the gate of the brigade with an enamel teacup in his hand, looking up and down in the direction of Taiyuan, muttering something from time to time.

The brigade commander is willing to delegate command authority, and is willing to make great efforts to train his cadres.

But this does not mean that he is not worried about the battles commanded by his subordinates. For example, the brigade commander is very worried about the ongoing Taiyuan campaign.

The brigade commander wished he could grow clairvoyance and see Taiyuan directly.

The chief of staff said: "Brigade Commander, since you are so worried, why don't you just go to Taiyuan."

"Then how can it work?" The brigade commander shook his head and said, "Ding Wei commanded well, what should I do?"

The chief of staff shook his head and said, "Since Ding Wei is directing well, what do you have to worry about?"

"Am I worried?" The brigade commander flatly denied, "Chief of Staff, which eye of yours sees me worried?"

"Brigade Commander, I think you are a dead duck." The chief of staff said with a smile, "I was obviously worried to death, but I refused to admit it."

"I'm not worried, really."

The brigade commander shook his head and said, "I'm not worried at all."

While the two were talking, a telegraph soldier came in and handed a telegram to the chief of staff.

After reading the telegram, the chief of staff let out a sigh, and the whole person stood there in a daze.

The brigade commander took a sip of strong tea and asked, "Chief of Staff, whose telegram is it? Scared you like this?"

"Brigade Commander, you must have no idea whose telegram this is." The chief of staff took a long time to recover, shook his head and said, "It's a congratulatory message from Chu Yunfei, the only brigade of the Jinsui Army."

"Congratulatory message?" The brigade commander took another sip of strong tea and asked, "Congratulate us for what?"

The chief of staff took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations to us for recovering Taiyuan in one fell swoop."

"Pfft." The strong tea from the Brigadier's mouth spurted out, almost wet the map in front of him.

"What? Chief of Staff, what did you just say?" The brigade commander said incredulously, "Recover Taiyuan?"

"Brigade Commander, read it for yourself." The Chief of Staff handed the telegram to the Brigadier Commander, and said, "That's what Chu Yunfei said in this congratulatory message, and he also said that it was the only brigade of the Jinsui Army who sent troops to seize Heyuan County. I agreed with the independent group in advance that I was cooperating with Li Yunlong and the others to sing for the devils, and the devils were really fooled."

The brigade commander took the telegram and only glanced at it, then his eyes widened.

"Damn, it's really a congratulatory message?" The brigade commander said in surprise, "Could it be that Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Wang Ye have really captured Taiyuan?"

The chief of staff said: "I think this should be true."

The brigade commander shook his head again and again and said, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

"Yeah, this is really beyond our expectations." The chief of staff said deeply, "I thought that it would be the limit for Ding Wei and the others to break through the outer city of Taiyuan and force the main force of the Japanese army on the front line of the Taihang base to come back. But they never expected that Ding Wei and the others would directly take Taiyuan down."

The brigade commander suddenly became very curious: "How was this battle fought?"

The chief of staff said with a smile: "Brigade Commander, it's not easy to know this? Let Wang Ye make a detailed battle report, and we will know everything?"

"Don't bother them yet."

But the brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Ding Wei and Wang Ye didn't bother to send us a telegram until now, but it was Chu Yunfei who sent us a congratulatory telegram first, which means that the battle in Taiyuan City will not end for a while. They must be busy right now, so let's not mess with them."

"Brigade Commander, you are right." The chief of staff said with a smile.

"But when it comes to Chu Yunfei, this kid really knows how to put gold on his face."

"Put gold on his own face?" The brigade commander said sarcastically, "I think he wants to cook raw rice into rice, and use this congratulatory message to force Li Yunlong to admit that the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army has occupied Heyuan County. "

"What?" said the chief of staff, "Let Li Yunlong admit to their occupation of Heyuan County? Isn't this bullshit? If Li Yunlong is willing to admit it, then he is not Li Yunlong."

The brigade commander laughed and said, "So this is wishful thinking."

Chapter 457

Liao County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss went outside to inspect a circle, and when he returned to the headquarters, he found that the deputy chief of staff was looking for him.

Seeing the boss, the deputy chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "Boss, why are you out again? Didn't I tell you that several advance teams of devils have infiltrated our base area now, these small Not only are the devils pretending to be our Eighth Route Army, but they can also speak fluent Chinese, which is really dangerous."

"That's not on the outskirts of the base, it's still far away from our headquarters." The boss said disapprovingly, "Besides, isn't there still the Sirius Squadron of the Rats and the Violent Wolf Squadron of the Butchers in the headquarters? Facing our special forces, I'm afraid we can't get the slightest advantage, don't you think?"

The deputy chief of staff said: "But now the main force of the Sirius Squadron and the Violent Wolf Squadron have gone out, and currently only two teams remain at the headquarters. If something happens..."

"There are no contingencies." The boss interrupted, "There are so many contingencies."

While the two were arguing, a messenger hurried in and reported, "Chief, Sirius Squadron has sent an urgent call!"

"Give it to me." The deputy chief of staff took the telegram and signed it, glanced at the telegram again, and his face froze for a moment, "The devil has already advanced to Xiajiawa."

"Are you in Xiajiawa?"

The boss quickly returned to the map.

Combat staff officer Ma Yuan quickly found Xia Jiawa from the map.

Ma Yuan said: "Boss, Xiajiawa is here, less than fifteen kilometers away from us."

The boss' face darkened and said: "Fifteen kilometers, according to the devil's current advance speed of five kilometers per day, it is less than three days away, provided that we don't fight against it."

"Stopping will definitely not work, it will attract the main force of the devils."

The deputy chief of staff said: "Boss, order the transfer separately."

When the Japanese army was encircled by an impenetrable wall, the Eighth Route Army broke up and moved separately. This is a routine operation.

The boss was noncommittal, staring at the map for a while and suddenly asked: "How is Ding Wei and the others?"

"The former enemy headquarters of the Taiyuan campaign has not contacted the headquarters for almost a day." The deputy chief of staff said, "I am a little worried that they will withdraw their troops and go north."

"Withdraw troops and go north to find Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang to settle accounts?"

The boss shook his head and said, "Based on what I know about Ding Wei, he won't be so impulsive."

The deputy chief of staff said: "Ding Wei will definitely not be impulsive, but Li Yunlong is hard to say, after all, this time Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang are grabbing the territory of the independent regiment."

The boss said: "But the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan campaign is Ding Wei."

The deputy chief of staff said: "But Li Yunlong is messed up, and Ding Wei probably won't be able to stop him."

After being told by the deputy chief of staff, the boss began to feel uncertain, and said, "Then quickly send a telegram to Ding Wei and ask how is it going over there now?"

When the deputy chief of staff promised to leave, a signal soldier walked in.

"Chief." The signal soldier reported, "A congratulatory message has been sent from the World War II Zone Commander's Department."

"What, a congratulatory message?" The boss and the deputy chief of staff looked at each other, both confused.

It's not a year or a festival, and their Eighth Route Army didn't win the battle. What kind of congratulatory message did the World War II zone chief send?Could it be that Yan Laoxi was kicked in the head by a donkey?

"Give me the telegram."

The Deputy Chief of Staff reached out to take the telegram.

"I'd like to see what's going on..." The deputy chief of staff turned the telegram over while speaking, and then froze there, his eyes widened.

The boss said angrily: "What's wrong with you? Are your eyes cramping?"

Hearing this, the deputy chief of staff woke up like a dream, and said in a low voice: "Boss, Ding Wei and the others have taken Taiyuan!"

"What? Ding Wei and the others won Taiyuan?" The boss also stared wide-eyed, and said in a voice, "That's why Yan Xishan sent a congratulatory message?"

"Yes." The deputy chief of staff nodded vigorously.

"Give me the telegram." The boss reached out and took the telegram again.

It wasn't until he read the telegram in black and white that the boss believed it was true. It was really a congratulatory telegram from Yan Xishan, and it was really because the Eighth Route Army recovered Taiyuan.

"I can't believe it!"

The boss said: "Ding Wei and the others really won Taiyuan!"

"Yes, this is too incredible." The deputy chief of staff said deeply, "This is simply a miracle!"

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff said again: "Ding Wei and Wang Ye must make a detailed report and introduce the successful experience of this Taiyuan campaign."

"Boss, although I don't know the process yet, I dare say this is a classic case."

"With this precedent, we will have something to learn from when our Eighth Route Army fights the battle against cities in the future."

"More importantly, with the precedent of the Battle of Taiyuan, the devils may not dare to be as arrogant as they are now. In the future, they will have to leave more troops in major cities and counties for defense. This will increase their mobile forces. It will be reduced, and we will no longer be able to concentrate enough troops to sweep our various bases."

"It is entirely foreseeable that the situation will improve greatly in the future."

"Just talking about the current anti-sweeping campaign, I'm afraid the devils won't be able to continue."

The deputy chief of staff became excited as he spoke: "I will send a telegram to the former enemy headquarters in the Taiyuan campaign now."

"Wait, don't send a telegram now." The boss hurriedly dissuaded, "Ding Wei and Wang Ye must be very busy now, so let's not make trouble for them."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that."

The deputy chief of staff slapped his forehead and smiled again: "Now is the time to expand the results of the war."

However, the boss picked up the congratulatory message from the World War II District Chief's Department, and said with a smile, "Dude, do you smell a sour smell from this telegram?"

"Yes." The deputy chief of staff laughed.

"And it's still a jar of aged vinegar that has been sealed underground for decades, it's so sour."

The boss also laughed, and said after laughing: "Now I am also a little curious, Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Wang Ye, what kind of results can they achieve this time?"

The deputy chief of staff wrenched his fingers and said, "This can be calculated."

The boss said with great interest: "Oh really? Then you might as well let me know."

The deputy chief of staff added: "First of all, there is the devil general Yoshio Yanmatsu. As of today, there have been many devil generals killed by our Eighth Route Army, but most of them are brigade heads, division heads, and army commanders. If you can kill Yoshio Iwamatsu this time, it will break the record again, of course, it would be even better if you can capture him alive."

Hearing this, the boss's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "Boy Wang Ye won't mess around again, will he?"

"This..." The deputy chief of staff was at a loss for words. Wang Ye seemed to really like the generals who killed devils. According to the investigation, there were many times when Wang Ye had the opportunity to capture devils alive, such as the brigade of the Fourth Brigade. Long Mae Tianxiu, Wang Ye obviously had caught him at that time, but in the end he was killed by Wang Ye.

There is also Maeda Tadanobu, the first division commander of the Guards Division.

There is also Miyano Michiichi, the second division commander of the Guard Division.

In fact, Wang Ye had every chance to capture these two old devils alive.

But Wang Ye executed the two old devils without hesitation.

Thinking of this, the deputy chief of staff smiled wryly and said: "Boss, you also know that once you are popular on the battlefield, you can do anything. In fact, you can't blame Xiao Wang for this."
