"Well, Xiao Wang, the little devil's plane was also beaten away by us, and there is nothing lively to see here. Let's go back to the headquarters and see if the chief of staff has counted the various materials captured in Taiyuan City. Liu Hua nodded and said to the guard platoon leader beside him.

"Yes, Commander"

At this time, the Eighth Route Army's Reading Force Division completely annihilated the Itagaki Division of the Yue Army, recovered Taiyuan, and eliminated the three exciting news of General Bin Sanyuan, the Supreme Commander of the North China Garrison of the Yue Army, which was specially broadcast by the Yan'an Xinhua Radio, quickly spread throughout the land of China and even to every corner of the whole world.

Less than an hour passed from Liu Hua to Yan'an, and almost every newspaper office in the country published this exciting news. In the face of this exciting news, those ordinary people who had no hope for the war were once again full of confidence in the war. At the same time, under the arrangement of local party organizations, various schools and groups began to carry out huge demonstrations to celebrate the great victory of the reading division of the Eighth Route Army.

It can be said that the common people of the whole of China, regardless of whether they are in the ruling area or the occupied area. When they learned the news, they all began to celebrate from the bottom of their hearts. Especially those intellectual and enthusiastic young people who are not willing to be slaves of the country. In the face of the retreat of the Kuomintang troops, the Eighth Route Army led by [***] continued to send out one good news after another. They have made choices about their future, and they are rushing to Yan'an and other places

Of course, such a big news, of course, was also placed on the desk at the top of the middle at the same time.

A division, and the most elite field division of the army, was completely wiped out. It was very shocking news for Yuben. More importantly, the supreme commander of the North China garrison, General Bin Sanyuan, also died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army. You must know that this is the first general to be killed on the battlefield in China since the invasion of China, and it is also the first field division to be eliminated by the formation. When the emperor who was far away in the palace learned of the news, in addition to being shocked or shocked, he immediately summoned all the ministers of civil and military affairs and began to discuss countermeasures.

In the face of the sudden development of an elite unit of the Eighth Route Army in North China, some ministers advocated that heavy troops should be concentrated immediately and nip it in the bud. However, with the insufficient troops in the entire North China, it is impossible to realize this wish, unless the little devils mobilize the elite Kwantung Army from the Pingjin region and even the three northeastern provinces to go south, but in this case, it will take at least half a month to wait.

Some ministers also proposed a temporary truce and wait until the North China Imperial Army had accumulated enough strength before sending troops again. Strive to solve the number one enemy of the army in one fell swoop, the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army. However, there is a precondition for all this, that is, the selection of the supreme commander of the North China garrison.

Eventually, after a heated dispute at the Imperial Council, the Emperor made his own decision. Lieutenant General Tada, who was born in China and served as the commander of the Third Army at this time, was dispatched to serve as the supreme commander of the North China Zhutun Army. This was a full month earlier than the historical appointment of Tada Jun as the commander of the North China garrison.

At the same time, the Imperial Council also made a decision. Due to the annihilation of the Fifth Division, the entire Taiyuan army urgently needed to be replenished by the base camp. Therefore, for the Eighth Route Army, a powerful reading division, a temporary truce was adopted. The new commander, Lieutenant General Tada Jun, after accumulating sufficient military strength, launched a heavy army to encircle and suppress the base area where the Reading Division was located, eliminated the Reading Division in one fell swoop, and avenged the Yu Sha General Bin Sanyuan and the tens of thousands of imperial troops of the Fifth Division.

Of course, the decision of the Imperial Council of the Imperial Army invisibly gave Liu Hua and the reading master enough time to recover. At the same time, it also provided enough time for Liu Hua to carry a large number of materials seized in Taiyuan.

And Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Yucheng, when Chiang Kai-shek saw this report, he was very conflicted. There is a hint of excitement and a hint of apprehension at the same time.

Excitedly, the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army eliminated a division and a general of the Yue Army. It can be said that it has brought renewed hope to the nation's anti-Japanese war, and slapped the surrender faction of the Military Commission in the face. At the same time, in successive battles of Xuzhou, Nanjing, and Wuhan. The whole country has become less and less confident in the confrontation, so that the common people have regained their belief that the war of resistance will be won.

However, there are joys and sorrows. Through the total annihilation of a division of the Yue Army and the capture of Taiyuan, Chiang Kai-shek deeply felt the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's Reading Division. At this time, the Reading Division is only a division of the Eighth Route Army, and one division has such a strong combat effectiveness, so how strong should the combat effectiveness of the entire Eighth Route Army be? Chiang Kai-shek looked at the data that had just been counted in his hand and slowly fell into deep thought.

"Immediately notify Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Deputy Chief of Staff Chief of Staff Bai, and Commander Chen Cheng to the conference room next to it for a meeting." Chiang Kai-shek, who didn't have a clue, had no choice but to pick up the phone on the table, order the attendant room, and call several major leaders of the political axe to discuss countermeasures together.

"Report to the committee, Minister He, Chief of Staff Bai, and Commander Chen have arrived in the conference room, will the meeting start immediately?" Soon, a major general in the chamber gently pushed open the door of Chiang Kai-shek's room and reminded him in a low voice.

"Well, I'll go over now. Sort out these materials on the table for me, and bring them over together" After listening to the words of the major general in the chamberlain's office, Chiang Kai-shek nodded, took a sip of boiled water on the table, sat up from his seat, and began to walk towards the door.

"Yes, Commission"

"Jiansheng, Ci Xiu, Jingzhi, you are all here" walked into the conference room and saw the three Ai Jiang are whispering about something. Chiang Kai-shek didn't have any expression and said coldly.

"Hello chairman" Seeing Chiang Kai-shek, the three of them stood up one after another and replied loudly. At the same time, a military salute was given to Chiang Kai-shek in front of him.

"Well, sit down, Jingzhi, you should have listened to Yan'an's radio just now, what do you think of this matter." Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and after the three of them sat down, he didn't hesitate without any hesitation, and asked directly to the point.

"Chairman, is everything on the radio true? The Eighth Route Army completely annihilated the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army, and also recovered Taiyuan and eliminated General Bin Sanyuan of the North China Zhutun Army" Hearing Chiang Kai-shek's question, it was also the Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin, who had just received the news, asked rhetorically in disbelief.

"Well, all the circumstances have been fully implemented, and Yan'an has no intention of exaggerating the results. Not only did they not exaggerate the results, but they also concealed a lot of them. They not only captured Taiyuan, but also shot down at least 20 Syrian planes with anti-aircraft machine guns in the following air battle. These things are all just counted by Dai Li, you can take a look at them first" Chiang Kai-shek nodded, pointed to the stack of documents held in the hands of the major general next to him, and said.

Soon, more than a dozen pieces of various information were read by three people. However, after reading it, the whole conference room, in addition to being quiet, is still quiet.

"Jiansheng, you are known as Xiao Zhuge in the army, what do you think of this matter" Seeing that the three people were silent, they lowered their heads. Chiang Kai-shek frowned and asked by name.

"Chairman, after reading the information, I have two feelings in my heart, one is excited, and the other is worried" Seeing that he couldn't hide, Bai Chongxi raised his head and said his thoughts according to his understanding of Chiang Kai-shek's surname.

"Well, it seems that Jiansheng and I have the same thoughts, let's listen to it" Hearing that Bai Chongxi's thoughts in front of him coincided with his own, Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Chairman. I am excited because in the past two years of the Anti-Japanese War, [***] has almost lost one defeat after another on the front line, more and more ordinary people have begun to lose confidence in the war, and even some political axe officials and generals have begun to waver. And this victory undoubtedly dealt a strong blow to the Yue army. At the same time, it can also restore confidence in the entire war of resistance again, and also restore confidence in the political axe. Bai Chongxi replied.

"Well, Jiansheng's thoughts coincide with mine. What about those who are worried? After listening to Bai Chongxi's analysis, Chiang Kai-shek nodded secretly and continued to ask.

"Chairman of the Committee, what worries me is the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army. I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army had such a strong combat effectiveness in less than two years. More importantly, they are no longer a group of dirt and eight roads back then, but an elite army with the ability to attack fortifications. It can be seen from the fact that they were able to capture Taiyuan, an important provincial capital. This sheep-like army with strong combat effectiveness is in the hands of [***] people, and the threat to the party-state is very huge. If the development speed of the Eighth Route Army continues, the whole of North China will become the world of the Eighth Route Army sooner or later. When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is won, it will inevitably become a fierce enemy of our party-state," Bai Chongxi analyzed what Chiang Kai-shek was worried about.

"Well, what do you think about this?" Chiang Kai-shek nodded and looked at his deputy He Yingqin next to him.

"Chairman, I completely agree with Jiansheng's statement," He Yingqin replied neither softly nor hard.

"Well, what about rhetoric?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at his beloved general Chen Cheng again.

"Chairman of the Committee, I completely agree with Chief of Staff Bai, the combat effectiveness of the communist army is worrying us, and we must take some precautionary measures," Chen Cheng also nodded and said.

"Well, since you all know the reason, is there any solution to it. For the Eighth Route Army to eliminate a division of the Yue Army, and occupy Taiyuan, and eliminate General Bin Sanyuan. What kind of decision should the political axe make. After all, the people of the whole country are looking at us. Chiang Kai-shek nodded, affirmed Bai Chongxi's analysis, and continued to ask.

"Jiansheng, you have analyzed it most thoroughly, you say," Chiang Kai-shek continued to ask Bai Chongxi next to him.

"Chairman, I think the central government should make a lot of publicity about this matter and raise the people's determination to fight the war. At the same time, it is necessary to praise and reward the reader, and even publicize all the achievements of the reader in the past. Bai Chongxi nodded, and said a method he had already come up with.

"Jiansheng, you're not wrong! Isn't this propaganda for the Eighth Route Army? In this way, with the support of the people of the whole country, the strength of the Eighth Route Army will definitely become stronger and stronger" Listening to Bai Chongxi's words, He Yingqin glanced at Bai Chongxi in front of him in disbelief and exclaimed.

"Respectfully, wait for Jiansheng to finish speaking. I believe that Jiansheng does not mean this, otherwise, Jiansheng would not be known as Xiao Zhuge . Chiang Kai-shek also frowned, and then asked.

"Thank you, Chairman, for the compliment, I do have the following. Chairman of the National People's Congress, think about it, the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army completely annihilated a division of the Yue Army and captured Taiyuan, and even General Bin Sanyuan died at their hands. You say, who hates the Eighth Route Army Reader the most now" A strange smile appeared on Bai Chongxi's face.

"It's the army, since the invasion of China, there has never been a division or regiment that has been wiped out by the entire [***] team, let alone the death of a general. I think that the whole book must hate the reader to the core. Hearing Bai Chongxi's reminder, Chen Cheng, who had not spoken, suddenly reacted.

"Yes, what the rhetoric said is very correct, the army must hate the Eighth Route Army now. And if we publicize all the achievements of the Reading Division from the beginning to the present, what do you say the military will do, do you see tens of thousands of soldiers dying in the hands of the Reading Division, but the political axe does not make any reaction? Bai Chongxi said mysteriously.

"High, really high. Jiansheng, you are worthy of being the little Zhuge of our army, with the help of your own hands, weaken or eliminate the strong force of the Eighth Route Army" Hearing Bai Chongxi's words, He Yingqin, who was still opposed, couldn't help but feel excited.

"Well, then we'll do what Kensheng wants. Respectfully, as for how to publicize the achievements of the Eighth Route Army's readers, I will leave it to you to complete. However, we can't have too much confidence in the little devils, and we also have to be a little prepared. Cixiu, Jiansheng, you immediately tell Yan Xishan that the entire Shanxi is about to be occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and let him hurry up and send troops to grab territory in the name of political axes. In addition, the Central Army also sent two divisions of troops to advance to the base area of the Reading Division, blocking the contact with the outside world of their base box as much as possible. Seeing that the three people had formed a unified opinion, Chiang Kai-shek immediately clapped his head and said.

"Yes, Chairman, I will definitely complete the task"

In this way, with the deliberate encouragement of the Kuomintang authorities, newspapers and radio stations everywhere began to report on the great victory achieved by the readers in history. Immediately, the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army was pushed to the highest point of the Anti-Japanese War by the people of the whole country. At the same time, there was also a trend of participating in the Eighth Route Army in various parts of the country, donating money and materials to the Eighth Route Army, and so on

"Chairman, this Chiang Kai-shek still can't change his cautious temper, it seems that he still hasn't relaxed any vigilance against us [***], and he will not forget to calculate our [***] people at any time." In the cave in Yan'an, the boss said with a frown after reading the telegrams sent from all over the country.

"Well, I think that as long as we [***] exist for a day, he Lao Jiang will definitely not show any mercy to us. However, boss, this Liu Hua is quite accurate, he has already expected that Chiang Kai-shek will come up with a trick to fall into the ground. Hehe, you see, this is a secret message sent by Liu Hua half an hour ago. The Chairman nodded, and handed the Commander-in-Chief the secret telegram he had just received.

"Well, it seems that this Liu Hua is quite politically minded, and his chairman Jiang has figured it out. Chairman, what do you think of Liu Hua's analysis? After reading the secret message sent by Liu Hua, the boss couldn't help but nodded, his face full of excitement.

"I completely agree with Liu Hua's words, now the remaining army in Shanxi is not enough for even the most basic defense, and the troops from there are attacking the Reading Division. Even if she transferred troops from the Pingjin region and even the three northeastern provinces to the south, it would not be possible to complete it in half a month. Therefore, we should follow what Liu Hua said, take advantage of the opportunity provided to us by Chiang Kai-shek, hype up our Eighth Route Army, and expand the influence of our Eighth Route Army," the chairman looked at the map hanging on the wall and said thoughtfully.

"I also agree with Liu Hua. It's just that, in the end, Liu Hua said that let our army guard against the attack of the Kuomintang troops, you say, he Chiang Kai-shek dared to risk the condemnation of the world and take the initiative to attack our base area and sabotage the united front? Seeing that in the end, Liu Hua actually analyzed that Chiang Kai-shek would take advantage of this opportunity to attack our base area, and the commander-in-chief asked in disbelief.

"I don't believe in this either, but I'd rather believe it than believe it. Chiang Kai-shek has always been a man without integrity. Therefore, in the future battles, we must rely on ourselves as much as possible, and we must not trust the Kuomintang reactionaries too much. We've been fooled once, and we must not be fooled a second time. After a while, send a report to the various base areas that have come into contact with the Kuomintang defense area, so that they can be ready at any time," the chairman nodded affirmatively.

"Well, I'll send the report in a moment. Hehe, Lao Mao really didn't expect that this Liu Hua can not only fight, but also have good political acumen" After solving the troubles in front of him, the boss said with a smile.

"Well, I'm wondering why we didn't find this talent before. Speaking of which, compared with [***], he is too far behind, that is, his qualifications are too shallow" The chairman also nodded thoughtfully.

"Hehe, Lao Mao, it seems that Liu Hua's status in your heart has improved a lot. However, I also think that this kid is inferior to [***] in many aspects, and he should be cultivated well. If he cultivates well, with his talent, the future development is limitless," the boss nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, it's unlimited" After listening to the boss's words, the chairman nodded and fell silent.
