Chapter 966: Yan Laoxi

Hunyuan.

After the Thundering Regiment held on and continuously repelled many Japanese puppet army units that wanted to take back Hunyuan, they finally gained a firm foothold on this side.

In the evening, a group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army entered Hunyuan County under the cover of night, and in the crowd, the giant-like Qiu Qianyu was particularly eye-catching.

"Chief, you've finally arrived, and the journey is safe, right?"

Lei Ming Liu Minghui personally greeted him at the gate of the city, and when he saw that Political Commissar Deng was safe and sound, he was relieved.

The Eighth Route Army had just gained a firm foothold here, and before it had time to clear out the hostile forces, Political Commissar Deng insisted on coming from Laiyuan to Hunyuan at this time, and they were really worried that something would happen on the road.

"Unimpeded - besides, there are thousands of feathers, even if there is any accident, if he goes down with a stick, it is estimated that he will have to smash it!"

Political Commissar Deng is not tall, but his smile is very heroic: "He has worked really hard this way, and he doesn't close his eyes much, you quickly find him a place to let him sleep......

"It is my Qiu Qianyu's duty to protect the head of my regiment Han on the orders of the head of my regiment!" Qiu Qianyu said loudly, his voice like ringing a bell.

"Okay, okay, let's go and rest, I'm annoyed when I see you!"

Lei Ming angrily kicked Qiu Qianyu a few times to let him rest, and said in his heart that Han Xiaolei, this bastard, is really lucky to pick up such a baby bump that can protect the chief, and his hard work to lay down Hunyuan's credit, it is estimated that it is not as useful as this stupid big man showing his hand in front of the chief, thinking about this, he has to lament in his heart, why is Lao Tzu's surname Lei so bitter!

It was also a tiring journey, and Political Commissar Deng asked Lei Ming to arrange for Qiu Qianyu and others to go down to rest immediately, but he rushed to the regiment headquarters non-stop to prepare for the next wave of combat preparations.

"Chief, it's too risky for you to come here now!"

Liu Minghui said uneasily, on the one hand, it was naturally because Hunyuan had just been taken and the forces were complicated, and secondly, this side was too close to the target they expected, and if the Japanese army sensed the situation and rushed to this side, it would be too dangerous to reach it in just over a day.

"I've been taking risks since the day I joined the revolution, and I've been walking on thin ice for more than ten years, and I've been walking on thin ice, haven't I come the same way?"

Political Commissar Deng waved his hand and said: "This side is the closest to the battlefield we want, here, I can know the news of the front line faster, so no matter how dangerous it is, I must come over - the brothers on the front line are desperate, as the supreme commander of this battle, how can I only care about my own safety!" ”

Hearing this, all the commanders and fighters in the regimental headquarters were all in awe, and they now finally understood why the Red Army had been able to survive so many hardships and dangers, and had persevered until now, whether it was a senior general or a soldier, they were persevering, and now, they finally ushered in the dawn of the possible realization of their dreams.

Liu Minghui quickly explained the situation in Datong, and the faces of all the commanders and fighters were not very good-looking, and this information was not quite the same as expected.

I thought that the Japanese army would rush to the aid of Taiyuan at all costs, after all, although Datong is also an important town in Shanxi, but whether it is geographical location or influence, it is definitely a small thing compared to Taiyuan, but it is unthinkable that although the Japanese army has sent some troops to aid Taiyuan, but the defenders of Datong are not moving!

This time, all their plans have come to naught!

"In this case, the central government has taken it into account!"

Political Commissar Deng said indifferently: "Our primary goal is Datong, but at the same time, our attack on Taiyuan is not exactly pretending - if the Japanese army in Datong rushes to aid Taiyuan, then our side will attack Datong, if the Japanese army does not reinforce Taiyuan, then our army will attack Taiyuan and strive to take it in one fell swoop!" ”

"Killing two birds with one stone, high!"

Hearing Political Commissar Deng's explanation, everyone suddenly burst into laughter, and complained angrily: "It's a pity that Yan Laoxi refuses to cooperate with us, otherwise our Eighth Route Army will cooperate with Yan Laoxi's troops to counterattack on all fronts, not to mention Taiyuan Datong, maybe we can take advantage of the Japanese army's heavy attack on Wuhan, and we can recover most of Shanxi in one fell swoop!" ”

"Don't mention that dog thing, I'm angry at the mention of him!" As soon as many people heard Yan Xishan's name, they were angry and snorted.

Yan Xishan has been operating in Shanxi for decades, and it can be said that as long as he is willing to come forward, Shanxi will never completely fall into the hands of the Japanese army now, but this person pursues the golden mean, and the first thing he thinks of in this situation is to preserve his strength and avoid the Japanese army everywhere.

"Don't complain, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, we in the Red Army can't always think of relying on others for help, more importantly, we have to rely on ourselves!"

Political Commissar Deng said: "Yan Xishan has now been broken by the Japanese army, Shanxi will rely on our Eighth Route Army, no matter how bad the conditions here are, we must be rooted here like nails, as long as we are still here, Shanxi will not be surnamed Ri!" ”

Speaking of these, he remembered last year's Pingxingguan victory and the Battle of Xinkou, when the Eighth Route Army and Yan Xishan's troops fought together, and the fight was impressive, but now, the other party has taken refuge in Yulin, thinking about this, he is also secretly regretful.

But having said that, Yan Xishan now retains his strength, and also gives the Eighth Route Army room to survive and grow, if Yan Xishan is still in Shanxi, then this year, the development of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi will definitely not be as smooth as it is now.

Thinking about it this way, Political Commissar Deng's heart is much better, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"Yes, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, without him Yan Laoxi, our Eighth Route Army would still do the same with devils!"

"Yan Laoxi doesn't want Shanxi, our Eighth Route Army wants ......"

Everyone roared in unison, with their vision, it was difficult to think of something deeper, they only had a lot of blood, they only thought that as long as they still had a breath, they would never watch the little devil arrogant in front of them!

"Commissar, what should we do now?"

Lei Ming asked in a muffled voice: "A few regiments on our side have already held back their strength to fight Datong, in case the little devil really doesn't rush to help Taiyuan, won't we fight?" You can't let the brothers run for nothing......"

"What are you panicking about?"

Political Commissar Deng snorted, stood in front of the map for a long time before saying coldly: "I don't believe it, if our troops really have a chance to take Taiyuan, the Japanese army in Datong City can still bear it!" ”

He firmly believes that the little devil should know which is more important than Taiyuan Datong!

For the Eighth Route Army, taking Taiyuan is certainly a great benefit, but not taking Taiyuan and taking Datong is definitely a gratifying thing for them!
