Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

"Commander, the current situation is very strange!" Wang Zhuo put down the pencil in his hand and said to Zeng Jiwen depressedly.

After listening to Wang Zhuo's words, Zeng Jiwen nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that's right. Sugiyama Moto's sudden appearance makes me unsure what the Japanese troops in North China are planning to do."

Zhou Xi was listening to the conversation between the two and was also a little confused about the current situation. Zhou Xi said to Zeng Jiwen with some concern.

"Old Zeng, what do you think? In this situation, can the Japanese army really think of a way to turn defeat into victory?"

Wang Zhuo was a little surprised when he heard the political commissar's words.

"The political commissar means that the Japanese army still has a chance of turning the tables?"

When Zeng Jiwen heard this, something suddenly came to his mind, and then he said to Wang Zhuo.

"Old Wang, what if the Japanese army didn't think about turning the tables, and instead wanted to kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of their own?"

Wang Zhuo was a little surprised when he heard Zeng Jiwen's words.

"If the Japanese army really did this, it wouldn't be right!"

"Look, the 14th and 5th Divisions in southern Hebei are no longer a threat. If Wu Lin and his men were to attack with more force, I'm afraid these two divisions would be wiped out."

"Around the Zhengtai Line, the 108th Division is now also tied down, and the two mixed brigades from Taiyuan are still in Fenyang."

"Even if the Japanese army wants to fight us to the death, Sugiyama Gen doesn't have much manpower to mobilize right now."

After hearing Wang Zhuo's words, Zeng Jiwen was a little unsure what the Japanese army was trying to do this time.

Zeng Jiwen's eyes kept scanning the Japanese troops around the Tainan Military Region on the map. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of the area around Jin-Cha-Ji. He thought of something and his expression became a little solemn for a moment.

As Zeng Jiwen continued to speculate, his forehead was tightly wrinkled. If it was really as he thought, the Japanese army in North China would probably just give up.

So Zeng Jiwen told Zhou Shi and Wang Zhuo his guess.

At present, the Japanese 109th Division and 26th Division still exist around Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.

If these two divisions were to cross the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region at all costs to reinforce Shijiazhuang, it would be really difficult to deal with, especially now that Sugiyama Gen still has two divisions of mobile forces. If the four divisions surrounded Shijiazhuang, it would be obvious that the Japanese army's goal would not just be to reinforce Shijiazhuang.

If things go wrong, it will turn into a major battle.

It is even very likely that the Japanese army will directly launch a heavy attack on southeastern Shanxi again.

No matter what the situation was, Zeng Jiwen did not want to see this action of the Japanese army.

When Wang Zhuo and Zhou Shi heard Zeng Jiwen express his guess, they were immediately shocked.

The Japanese defense was broken. If it was really as Zeng Jiwen guessed, then the 389th Division would inevitably have a head-on battle with the Japanese army in North China in Shijiazhuang.

When they thought of this possibility, their expressions suddenly became serious.

At present, the military forces of the entire military region are very scattered, and if things go wrong, the troops from Jin-Cha-Ji and Northwest Shanxi may also join this major battle.

Although the Japanese air force in North China has not been fully replenished and has no air superiority, the 389th Division can now fight a tough battle with the Japanese army head-on, but this will undoubtedly directly disrupt the overall combat mode of the Eighth Route Army. If things go wrong, the next "Wuhan Battle" may be launched in North China.

This is undoubtedly disadvantageous to the current strategy of the Eighth Route Army.

When they thought of the possibility of the Japanese army, their expressions became a little grim.

At present, except for their division, the other units of the Eighth Route Army do not have the strength to fight the Japanese army head-on. If the Japanese army in North China and the entire Eighth Route Army directly enter into a decisive battle due to the reasons of the 389th Division, then this situation will be very bad for the Eighth Route Army.
