Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

"Then let's report our plan to our family and headquarters and ask for their opinions."

"If possible, let's contact Jin Cha Ji to discuss it."

After the two agreed, the 389th Division reported the current situation and ideas to their families and the General Command.

Dongye Town, Yangcheng, General Command Headquarters.

As most of the 129th Division had entered northern Chongqing and headed towards central Henan, the General Command followed the 386th Brigade to move to the vicinity of Jincheng and settled in Dongye Town, Yangcheng, on the edge of Jincheng.

After the headquarters telegraph operator received the message from the 389th Division, he immediately translated it and handed it to the deputy chief of staff.

When the deputy chief of staff heard that the message was from the 389th Division, he immediately took it and began to read it.

Then, he handed the telegram to the deputy commander.

"Deputy Commander, there's news from the 389th Division! There's something going on!"

The deputy commander took the telegram and frowned after reading it.

Then, pick up a pencil and start marking on the map.

Looking at the situation distribution between the enemy and us, the deputy commander's brow finally relaxed.

"Only Zeng Jiwen could have thought of that! My family and I are all wondering how Jin-Cha-Ji can survive this massive Japanese raid. After all, not all the troops under us are from the Tainan Military Region. The combat personnel and equipment of the Tainan Military Region are unique among our Eighth Route Army."

"Yes, but Zeng Jiwen said we can give it a try."

"After all, Shijiazhuang is now stockpiled with a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and various supplies by the Japanese Army in North China. If we can really capture it by surprise, the future development of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will be huge!"

The deputy chief of staff agreed more with the ideas of Zeng Jiwen and others.

"Indeed, but Shijiazhuang is not easy to attack. Once we attack, the Japanese troops in Taiyuan, Xingtai, Beiping and even Tianjin will come to reinforce, which will be like stirring up a hornet's nest for the Japanese army."

"We have to find a way to prevent the Japanese army from sending reinforcements so quickly, and at the same time we have to divert the Japanese troops in Shijiazhuang."

After listening to the deputy commander's words, the deputy chief of staff also nodded.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Not only Tainan and Jinchaji, but also Shandong and northwestern Shanxi can support and contain some of the Japanese troops."

"Furthermore, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region had just completed its reorganization. In addition to the main force of over 30,000 troops, the Pingxi Army and the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Advance Army also had 40,000 to 50,000 troops, which could completely contain the other Japanese troops in North China."

"Japanese intelligence estimates that there are only about 30,000 people in Jin-Cha-Ji at most. This is undoubtedly an opportunity!"

After listening to this, the deputy commander agreed, but then became a little worried.

"However, after this counter-mopping-up operation, I'm afraid the strength of the Jin-Cha-Ji region has also been exposed to the Japanese army."

"But by comparison, the gains from taking Shijiazhuang are undoubtedly the greatest."

After turning the table and thinking for a while, the deputy commander spoke to the deputy chief of staff.

"It's useless to think about it alone. Let's send the message to Jin Cha Ji and the others and ask them to take stock of their assets."

"Don't plan well and let the troops below fall behind."

After listening to it, the deputy chief of staff also thought it was feasible.

Afterwards, the plan of Zeng Jiwen and others from the Tainan Military Region was sent to the people from the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.

Fuping, Baoding, inside the headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.

When Xurong and the other two leaders received the telegram from the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, they were also somewhat surprised to see the ideas of Zeng Jiwen and others.

However, after analyzing the current situation, everyone felt that it was worth a try.

However, the development of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region has been very rapid in the past year compared to the original time and space. Even after the reorganization of thirty regiments a few months ago, two months have passed and the current situation of the troops below may need to be counted again.

Especially this year, two months have passed, and I am afraid that the number of troops under me has increased a lot, but there is currently a lack of communication equipment, and it is impossible to contact the troops in various places specifically.
