Mr. Zhu looked at the appearance of several people, especially Li Ping's expression, and said with a smile: "Why, Li Ping, you little ghost was still planning a few days ago, but now the situation is similar to your thoughts, and now I am afraid." ”

Li Ping felt embarrassed, then smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, in this way, isn't our northern army empty?" ”

Division Commander Xu and Political Commissar Luo nodded suddenly, if this is the case, Shanxi will not have many troops, and the troops that were originally organized have been transferred to Henan and Hubei to open up, and the Eighth Route Army in the north will be much weaker.

The boss smiled and explained: "The reason why we arranged it this way is because the chairman of the Chongqing committee has made a lot of deals with us, and the chairman is very determined. ”

Li Ping and the three of them were stunned when they heard this, and they all stared at the boss, who continued to explain: "The chairman of the committee saw that our Eighth Route Army had recovered Shanxi, and he couldn't sit still, but the southern devil was aggressive, and his troops could not counterattack, so he thought of our Eighth Route Army when he thought about it. ”

"He asked our Eighth Route Army to enter Henan and Hubei to reduce their pressure, and the reason we agreed was that this was an open and righteous opportunity, and the chairman's meaning was very clear, Hubei's troops should develop, and they should also develop in Jiangxi, you should know what Jiangxi means to our Eighth Route Army?"

Li Ping stood up directly, his heartbeat continued to accelerate, the chairman and his old man wanted to develop to Jiangxi, Hunan, these places, this area was the base camp of the Red Army at the beginning, and the Eighth Route Army had a natural advantage after it passed.

But is the chairman so stupid? Hasn't he been on guard against the Eighth Route Army? Why did he make such a decision, Li Ping turned around and asked.

The boss nodded slightly when he heard this, this is a question to the point, the boss smiled and explained: "Now the forces of China's anti-Japanese war are on both sides of us, the stronger we are, the weaker he is, I think he has two meanings." ”

"First, he really wants to play with momentum, his determination to resist the war has not changed, and he needs the support of our Eighth Route Army."

"Second, weaken our strength in the north, the south is under his nose after all, and he was sure to limit us in the past."

"With these two benefits, it is not surprising that he will make this decision, and the chairman understands that the situation has changed, but we cannot let go of this opportunity, and this is the reason why the deployment of established troops has been in the past."

Li Ping understood, and the chairman's meaning was very clear: Everyone is a well-established unit, and it is easier to resolve frictions that have occurred in the past; the most important point is that these troops are the elite of the Eighth Route Army, and their work experience and combat effectiveness meet the requirements of opening up base areas.

These few people understood, Mr. Peng saw a few people nodding, and said: "After the troops are transferred, Shanxi will stay with 100,000 main troops, as well as garrisons from all over the country, I am sure to hold here, but after your independent division is separated, it will be dangerous, after all, I am beyond the reach of the whip, unless three months or half a year later, I can support you." ”

Li Ping and the others nodded suddenly, Shanxi is going to face the attack of Tada Jun, that is, with the support of the arsenal, it would be good if the boss could make a draw, and there were no troops to support the troops of Hebei and Shandong.

Mr. Zhu saw that a few people understood, and said: "We still have a force that threatens the direction of Hebei, that is, Mr. He's troops, this force is currently in the direction of Datong, Shanxi, and can threaten Inner Mongolia and Zhangjiakou, Hebei, and Tada Jun will not fail to see this." ”

"Yan'an's determination is already clear to you, go and fight! Hopefully, we'll regain lost ground soon. ”

"Yes, Chief."

The transfer of the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi made Tada Jun very puzzled, and the information kept coming, the more Tada Jun looked at it, the more pleased he became, and the Eighth Route seemed to be the development of the division of troops, and now he had a greater grasp of retaking Shanxi.

The actions of the Eighth Route Army, which lasted for half a month, finally returned to calm, and no one paid attention to the news of the independent division.

After Li Ping and Division Commander Xu separated, he asked 20,000 troops to advance in batches and prepare to go to Shandong.

The troops are resting during the day and moving at night, Li Ping doesn't want to be surrounded and suppressed by devils all the way, Li Ping's troops are still moving, and Division Commander Chen in Shandong laughed when he received a telegram from the headquarters.

"I said Master, we are all about to be beaten out of breath by the devils, and you are still laughing here." , the political commissar didn't know the news yet, and rolled his eyes at the division commander.

"Hehe, what do you know? Lao Tzu's subordinates who can fight are coming soon, and there will be devils who will suffer when the time comes. ”

The political commissar and the chief of staff were sluggish, what does the division commander mean, and the two of them immediately took the telegram in the hands of the division commander.

After reading it, several people laughed, and the political commissar spoke: "Division commander, Li Ping is the chief of staff of the independent division, and he is only half a level lower than you, let alone your subordinates." ”

The ridicule of the political commissar made Division Commander Chen blow his beard and stare at him, and said loudly: "He is promoted to the rank of commander or my old subordinate, and he does not admit that Lao Tzu smoked him." ”

"Hahaha"

The command headquarters suddenly became lively, Li Ping walked out of their unit, who would have thought that Li Ping's kid could be promoted so quickly.

But thinking about his record, if he was older, I am afraid that he would have been promoted even higher.

"Okay, no kidding, Li Ping's troops have already set off, and the headquarters has asked us to pick them up and order the signal corps to contact Li Ping, I want to know his route."

After speaking, Division Commander Chen handed over the contact code to a signal soldier, and then sat down.

When Li Ping received the telegram, he looked at the map, and the political commissar Zeng and the chief of staff also came over and squatted, and after combining various intelligence analysis, the three decided to meet with Division Commander Chen in Yanggu.

"Send a telegram to the old chief, send him our course of action, and if all goes well, we can meet in five days."

Li Ping was excited after speaking, he hadn't seen Captain Zhou and them for a long time.

The troops continued to advance, and Division Commander Chen also secretly dispatched troops to converge, and on the other side, the sudden disappearance of the independent division aroused Tada Jun's vigilance.

"Baga, what is the matter with your intelligence department, you can't trace the traces of the independent division."

Tada Jun is afraid of the independent division, he has a shadow on this unit, the intelligence officer is now about to vomit blood, the Eighth Route Army has almost swept away their intelligence forces after controlling Shanxi, and the current situation of the empire in Shanxi is very vague.

"Your Excellency Commander, I will find out as soon as possible, please give me three days."

Tada Jun nodded, and the intelligence officer quickly withdrew, now Tada Jun has gone crazy, the pressure given to him by the Japanese army headquarters, and the blow given to him by the Eighth Route Army have made him mentally abnormal.

The devil is investigating the traces of the independent division, and the boss who stayed in Shanxi also let the intelligence department mix in a lot of information, and the confused devil is a little confused.

It wasn't until the Japanese troops stationed on the front line of Wu'an, Hebei Province suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of Eighth Route Army in their defense area, and after this information was reported to Tada Jun, Tada Jun suddenly felt that he seemed to be in the Eighth Route Army again.
