Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, was silent while holding the chairman's telegram for the whole army to resist Japan, and a group of staff officers and generals below shook their heads and nodded their heads and talked in a whisper.
In September 1937, the Japanese invaded Shanxi, known as the "Shanxi Emperor", Chief Yan panicked, and raised the banner of the United Communist Party to resist Japan, in late September, Chief Yan cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to carry out the Battle of Pingxingguan, the Eighth Route Army annihilated more than 1ooo Japanese invaders, and achieved the first victory since the Anti-Japanese War, which gave great encouragement to the anti-Japanese army and people. Immediately afterwards, Yan deployed the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army to jointly hold Xinkou and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese invaders. However, due to the strength of the enemy and our weakness, Xinkou and Taiyuan fell one after another, and Yan Xishan retreated south to Linfen. In February 1938, Linfen fell again, and Yan Xishan led his headquarters of the Second World War Zone to cross the Yellow River west into Qiulin Town, Shaanxi.
But Yan thinks that Qiulin is located in Shaanxi, which is the jurisdiction of Hu Zongnan, and he has always felt that he is under the fence when he stays here, and Shanxi is his home, so what he will never forget is to return to Shanxi. In May 194o, Yan Xishan led part of his entourage to leave Qiulin, crossed the Yellow River to the east, and stationed in Kenanpo in the northwest of Ji County.
Kenanpo, formerly known as Nancunpo, is a loess mountain beam with 6 households. The mountain beam is about one kilometer long from east to west and about 5 kilometers wide from north to south, and consists of five ditches that are parallel from west to east and inclined from north to south. This mountain beam faces the ditch river on three sides, and leads to the plateau on one side. After Yan Xishan set this place as a camp, because the sound of the two characters of Nancun is close to "difficult to survive", and intends to flaunt overcoming difficulties, it is renamed Kenan City, commonly known as Kenanpo - after more than a year of construction, this projectile land has been built into a small mountain top city with caves stacked on top of each other, quite large-scale, and can accommodate more than 20,000 people. The headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone, the Shanxi Provincial Government and other brain organs were stationed here, and it became a military center in the Second War Zone for a while.
In fact, after Yan Xishan arrived at Kenanpo, he never fought several battles with the Japanese invaders. In order to survive in the midst of contradictions, he pursued the so-called "philosophy of China" and carefully danced on the "three eggs" of the Japanese army, the communist army, and the Central Army. He believes that the chairman of the NPC National Committee is the head of the state and should be supported, but he is also his number one political enemy, and his forces must be denied access to Shanxi. The Japanese want to destroy China, and they are afraid of burning themselves against the Japanese, and if they do not resist the Japanese, they are afraid that the Japanese will seize his territory.
In his eyes, although the Eighth Route Army was a dangerous enemy, it would not endanger its own existence for the time being, and it was a force that could be used because it was brave and good at fighting and resolutely resisting Japan.
So he stopped shouting for a time and implemented the policy of the United Communist Party. Supporting Chiang and rejecting Chiang, resisting Japan against Japan, and uniting with the Communist Party became the key issues that he needed to consider in formulating various policies. At its center was to play the Communists card in order to elevate their position and strengthen themselves in the face of the impending Japanese invasion.
However, after arriving at Kenanpo, Jiang Haoran suddenly rose up and stopped the advance of the Japanese army by turning the tide, coupled with the full-scale outbreak of the world war, the shape of the anti-Japanese resistance improved, and he thought that the chairman of the committee had no time to rectify him, and there was no need to worry. Although the Japanese invaders could not grow the tail of a rabbit, they were difficult to defeat for a while, and the Eighth Route Army was becoming stronger and stronger, and it was no longer a force that could be used, and it had become the main enemy that threatened his existence, and he had already had the idea of colluding with the Japanese invaders to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
As a matter of fact, the commander of the Japanese army in North China, Okamura Ninji, had already seen through Chief Yan's thoughts, and had already sent representatives to negotiate with him for this purpose, and Chief Yan was still in a dilemma.
"Ge Fei, can you be sure that this plan is from Jiang Haoran, not the third-rate conductor of the chairman?" Putting down the telegram in his hand, Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan on the side.
Yang Aiyuan's name Ge Fei is Yan Xishan's number one favorite general, ranking among the thirteenth Taibao.
Yang Aiyuan hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This should not be wrong, the overall plan for this counteroffensive on Wuhan is from his handwriting, this is an indisputable fact, from a battle in the Pacific Theater, you can see the strategic intentions of the Japanese army, this strategic vision, I am afraid that only he Jiang Haoran has, so his subordinates feel that this will not be wrong." ”
Chief Yan nodded silently, thoughtfully, and said after a long time: "Is it really as strict as he said, this is our last chance?" ”
Yang Aiyuan said: "In terms of shape, if the Japanese army really concentrates all its forces to fight this battle as Jiang Haoran foresaw, this will indeed be our last battle, and after exhausting the ammunition reserves of the 331 base, the war reserves of the entire country will also be exhausted. In terms of motives, if the Japanese army wanted to keep Wuhan and stabilize the situation in the Central China battlefield, it was not so impossible to break the siege. However, there is a premise for this qiē??????"
"That is, can the Japanese army hold Wuhan before reinforcements arrive?" Chief Yan continued.
"yes, that's the crux of the matter?"
"Alas!" Chief Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold! Once the Japanese army occupied the rear of the southwest, my China would fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and my dream of returning to Shanxi would be completely shattered. ”
This long sigh of Chief Yan made a room full of staff officers and generals gloomy, and after a long time, Yang Aiyuan broke the silence and said, "Commander, it seems that you have made up your mind to fight the Japanese army?" ”
"What's the show? No, no, we must definitely fight, and we cannot watch little Japan take our great thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but we still have to talk about some strategy, not only to achieve the goal of containing the Japanese army, but also not to sink the troops too deeply. ”
"This move is high, commander!" Yang Aiyuan gave a flattering thumbs up, "Why don't I formulate a combat plan according to your instructions, spread the troops out in an all-round way, adhere to the principle that the enemy advances, I retreat, the enemy retreats, I advance, and fight the Japanese army to the end?" ”
"Well, let's do it!"
??????
Yan'an, caves.
Zhou Gong walked in happily and said to Mao Gong in the cave: "Chairman, as you expected, Yan Laoxi has moved, and it is a large-scale deployment of troops, and it seems that he is ready to do a big job." “
"Oh, this is good news, but you don't have to hope too much for him, with Yan Laoxi's character, he will never go all out to attack, Zhou Gong, in this way, order the troops to get close to the Jin Sui army, we will fight guerrillas around them, lead the Japanese army to them, so that they can't hide if they want to, and turn the entire Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningjin, Chachaji area upside down, and drag the Japanese army to death in Shijiazhuang and Taiyuan."
