After Kong Jie captured Ping'an County, he acted in a high-profile manner.
Just be so high-profile.
Anyway, since the Hundred Regiments War, whether it is the Japanese army or the Chinese army, they have already put the Eighth Route Army in a thorny position, not less than this time or twice.
At present, during the day, we used Ping'an County to encircle the points and call for reinforcements. We first killed all the Japanese reinforcements and threw away their armor, then turned around and directly captured Ping'an County overnight.
The next day, the military flags were changed, and the military flag belonging to the Eighth Route Army fluttered in the wind on top of the gate of Pingan County.
Kong Jie wanted to tell the people in Ping'an County and surrounding areas with great fanfare that this was the strength of the Eighth Route Army.
The support of the people is trustworthy, and we can still capture the Japanese counties if we want to.
In sharp contrast, it is probably the continuous defeat of the national army in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.
However, the Eighth Route Army fought one victory after another behind the enemy's rear, and now even the county seat was captured.
Do you think the national army is embarrassed?
If you're sorry, just fight hard at Zhongtiao Mountain. If you can delay the Japanese army for a few more days, just delay it for a few more days and buy more time for our Eighth Route Army to fight behind enemy lines.
…
The Iron Triangle's series of actions led to the Independent Regiment's capture of Ping'an County overnight.
When the news spread, it naturally caused an uproar.
In Taiyuan City, at the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, the Japanese deputy chief of staff, Nobujun Kawabasa, turned livid with anger.
"Baga, this damn independent regiment, damn Kong Jie!"
Nobujun Kawakubo cursed Kong Jie in the headquarters for being shameless and cunning.
This fictitious and real thing is simply hard to guard against.
They thought they were attacking the county seat, but in fact they were rushing to the encirclement point to bring reinforcements. They thought everything was over, but in the end they secretly attacked Chen Cang and attacked the county seat in one fell swoop.
Although Ping'an County is not a big city, it was captured by the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop, which affected too many things.
On the one hand, it means that the Eighth Route Army in the Japanese-occupied areas has long been overwhelming, and even has the strength to easily capture the county.
On the other hand, the county seat was easily captured by the independent regiment, which greatly dampened the military power of the Japanese army.
The folks around the Eighth Route Army base area cheered even more after hearing that the Independence Regiment easily captured Ping'an County, thinking that the day when the little devils would be driven out of China was not far away.
The people's hearts are moving towards the Eighth Route Army.
As for the capitulationists and traitors and puppet troops, after hearing about the power of the Independent Regiment, they all prayed for their blessings in fear, fearing that someone from the Independent Regiment would come to their door.
Under this series of chain effects.
While the traitors and puppet soldiers were terrified, they also began to make small calculations in their hearts, thinking about making plans for their future.
As the various military work teams of the Independent Regiment continued to secretly expand the villages, they encountered much less pressure from the traitor regime.
This may be the reason why weak countries have no diplomacy.
On the other hand, when the independent regiment as the backing becomes stronger, the external development work of the Armed Work Team, the Enemy Industry Department, and the Propaganda Department will naturally fall into place.
…
Not only that.
This high-profile battle in the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle even affected the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
The Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment first launched a joint operation, using Ping'an County as a cover to encircle and mobilize reinforcements.
Immediately afterwards, the independent regiment launched a sneak attack at night and captured Ping'an County.
When the news came, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was in mourning and said to the regiment leader Chu Yunfei: "Regiment leader, this independent regiment is really getting more and more surprising. I can even predict that in the future, this independent regiment will definitely become more and more amazing." Becoming a difficult enemy for the party-state."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Brother Ligong, you and I are soldiers. We will not get involved in political matters. We only focus on the present. The Japanese aggressors are facing us, and the survival of the nation is at stake."
"It is a blessing for the nation to have a team like the Independent Regiment and a figure like Kong Jie to appear. You and I should be happy."
Fang Ligong smiled bitterly and said: "Tuan Zuo has a broad mind, I am not as good as Tuan Zuo."
Chu Yunfei waved his hand nonchalantly, changed the subject, and said: "Brother Ligong, speaking of it, this three-acre area in northwest Shanxi is not a small stage. At present, all the glory has been taken away by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. , if our 358 Troupe doesn’t sing two more plays, I’m afraid we will be forgotten by the world.”
"Tuanzuo, what do you mean?" Fang Ligong said in confusion.
Chu Yunfei said: "Fight, the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain is still going on, although it is not completely over. But judging from the news we have received, there is little hope that the Central Army can hold Zhongtiao Mountain."
"Brother Ligong, we have to prepare for the worst."
"At this moment, the main force of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi is still in southern Shanxi. The Eighth Route Army can seize this opportunity to attack boldly. Do we, the 358th Regiment, have to watch helplessly and wait for death?"
"The spotlight of fighting the Japanese and the good name of resisting Japan cannot be given to the Eighth Route Army. After all, Shanxi was originally the territory of our Shanxi-Sui Army."
"If you don't fight the Japanese invaders in your own territory, will you just watch the Eighth Route Army fight the Japanese invaders on our behalf?"
Fang Ligong did not reply immediately, but muttered in his heart:
But that’s it! Everyone was thinking like Ming Jing'er as to what Chief Yan had in mind. He just wanted to use the Eighth Route Army as gunmen! Used to deal with the Japanese, and incidentally, it can also contain the Central Army.
After thinking about it, Fang Ligong said: "What the leader said is that now is an excellent time for us to fight."
Glutinous rice
"Currently, the main force of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi is not present, and coupled with the commotion of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area, the Japanese army's main force is basically placed on the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the Japanese army and our Jinsui Army have always been in conflict with each other. If we attack suddenly, the Japanese army will definitely not expect it."
"In addition, the Chief's Department also sent news a few days ago, allowing us to seize the opportunity at the right time and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to attack the Japanese army."
As for why the chief executive issued such an order.
Fang Ligong estimated that Commander Yan thought that the Central Army would probably lose the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain.
Next, the Jinsui Army wanted to continue to maintain its foothold in Shanxi. Without the Central Army as an ally, it could only find a way to unite with the Eighth Route Army.
By the way, fighting a few victorious battles with the Eighth Route Army can also enhance the prestige of the Jinsui Army in the hearts of the people.
We cannot confuse our Shanxi-Sui Army with the national army which always loses battles.
Dealing among several forces in order to obtain the greatest benefits has always been Chief Yan's specialty.
"It's just, Tuanzuo, how are we going to fight?"
Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, and then spoke out the plan that had been brewing in his heart all morning, and said: "Over the past year or so, although there have been occasional conflicts between the Japanese army and our Jinsui Army, they have generally been on the same page. The state of the river.”
"During this period, in order to deal with the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army became more and more aggressive, and even passed through the outer defense area of our 358th Regiment in large numbers."
"Does this arrogant little devil really think that I, Chu Yunfei, am a fool?"
At this point, Chu Yunfei stopped speaking and issued an order without hesitation: "I am ordering that from now on, the perimeter defense line will be expanded five kilometers outward. All Japanese troops passing through the defense area will be treated as enemy troops and directly Launch a military offensive."
As soon as these words came out, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong said with some worry: "Tuan Zuo, is this too much noise?
Although the chief executive said that they could join forces with the Eighth Route Army to deal with the Japanese.
But the implication is that we should try to be as petty as possible and not bring the anger of the Japanese army to our Jinsui Army. "
Chu Yunfei frowned and said: "Brother Li Gong, when an officer directs a battle, he is most afraid of being indecisive. He either doesn't fight, draws a clear line, and makes a clear distinction."
"Since we are going to fight, we should adopt the posture of fighting the Japanese. If our Jinsui Army troops fight the Japanese and everyone shrinks, what will it look like?"
"Instead of that, it's better to continue to stay on the same page with the Japanese, even if you get the reputation of being passive and avoiding war!"
Fang Ligong's face turned slightly red at Chu Yunfei's words, and he responded: "Yes, but according to the order of the regiment!"
Chu Yunfei turned around and smiled: "Brother Ligong, that's right."
"The first step is to clear out all the Japanese and puppet troops in our regiment's defense area, and show the people of the entire northwestern Shanxi that our Shanxi-Sui Army 358th Regiment's attitude is to fight the Japanese invaders decisively."
"The second step is to actively pursue a war against Japan. On such a big stage in northwestern Shanxi, we cannot let the Eighth Route Army perform a one-man show."
"The third step is to try to join forces with the Eighth Route Army troops. Speaking of which, since the end of the battle at Cangyunling, our 358th Regiment has never had a joint operation with the Eighth Route Army troops against Japan."
…
No coincidence.
The 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has already maintained a stable arms business relationship with the Independent Regiment, and has even become the agent of the Independent Regiment for various products in the Kuomintang-controlled area.
Regarding the war against Japan, regimental commander Yang Chongshan and Chu Yunfei thought of going together.
Of course, the 57th Regiment is far inferior to the 358th Regiment in terms of size, equipment, and combat effectiveness.
Yang Chongshan had a clear discussion with Qian Shoucai on this aspect.
"Let's just follow the Independent Group. The Independent Group eats meat, even if we drink some soup. This is called making a fortune in silence. If the Japanese are really annoyed, they will only record their hatred on the Independent Group. "
"What we have to do is, on the one hand, to fight, and more importantly, to continue our own development, to bring our fifty-seventh regiment together and strengthen it, and to accumulate troops for Commander Yan."
Qian Shoucai said with admiration: "The regiment is wise. Now Commander Yan suddenly issued an order to allow our Shanxi-Sui Army troops to fight jointly with the Eighth Route Army."
"After all, as the Central Army gradually retreated in the Zhongtiao Mountain Battle, Commander Yan is afraid that without the Central Army, it will be difficult for our Shanxi-Sui Army to gain a foothold in Shanxi alone."
"Joining forces with the Eighth Route Army can quickly gain a foothold and even re-strengthen the troops that have been suppressed by the Central Army and the Japanese Army in many ways over the years."
"What will be credit then? If the regiment has grown in size and has strong troops, then that will be credit."
"You just won the battle and only one battalion was left in one regiment. What's the use? I might just demote you to battalion commander later."
"But even if the battle is defeated, if a regiment can develop into a brigade, that is its ability, and it is the ability that Commander Yan most values."
"Why?"
Qian Shoucaishe asked, lowered his voice, and said in Yang Chongshan's ear: "After the fall of Taiyuan, our Shanxi-Sui Army is no longer what it used to be. Chief Fu ran away with the Chairman again, and the Shanxi New Army Unable to win them over, most of them were directly absorbed by the Eighth Route Army.
Now there are not many people left around Commander Yan. What he lacks most is soldiers.
Regiment Leader, if you can develop the 57th Regiment and hand over more soldiers to Commander Yan, that is the greatest achievement in Commander Yan's eyes. "
Yang Chongshan smiled. He valued Qian Shoucai. Although Qian Shoucai was greedy for money, few people could match his knowledge.
After the two of them finished their discussion.
Yang Chongshan immediately decided, on the one hand, to increase secret business cooperation with the Independent Group in all aspects.
On the other hand, the 57th Regiment is now considered to have strong financial resources and can start recruiting troops to expand the existing strength of the 57th Regiment.
By the way, I followed the independent group, beat up the Japanese, and drank some soup.
