"Immediately send a report to the Eighth Route Army and the Nationalist Army, saying that the guerrillas have found a large number of weapons, ammunition, food, and military shoes hoarded by the Japanese army in Madian, and it is inferred that the Japanese army may make a big move in the near future, and ask them to immediately collect intelligence and find the flaws and direction of action of the Japanese army from the intelligence" Zhao Zhi has two sets of passwords for the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army, and can contact them separately through the radio at any time, and even the telegraph operators are sent by them respectively. It's just that for their safety, Zhao Zhi left them all in Zhangwu County, and the telegram that Zhao Zhi said needed to be sent to Zhangwu County first, and then they were sent to the Eighth Route Army and the National Army respectively.

Zhao Zhi didn't know that the telegram he had just ordered to send had stirred up a thousand layers on the side of the Eighth Route Army and the Nationalist Army, and around his telegram, both the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army were organizing officers to discuss the possibility after receiving the telegram. Compared with the laxity and prevarication of the national army, the Eighth Route Army was much more cautious, and under Peng Dehuai's strong order, the staff officers of the Eighth Route Army headquarters began to read a large amount of information sent in the past, expecting to find abnormalities from it.

"Deputy commander, here" The staff officer got up and walked over with a love newspaper in his hand, "This is the information sent by our intelligence officer in Taiyuan last month, which says that the little devils suddenly began to buy grain from the Taiyuan market, mainly rice, and a small amount of flour, and they paid this time all in the ocean, and the price was not very low, and the rice in several counties around Taiyuan was sold out by them."

"I also have this, this is our intelligence officer at Shijiazhuang Railway Station, saying that the train station has been piled up with grain in recent times, mainly rice, and has also increased the military trains that have come to Shanxi, which looks like a tanker truck transporting troops."

"Order, all units under the Eighth Route Army should strengthen their vigilance, prepare to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, send a small force to go deep behind the enemy to destroy railway bridges and highways, be sure to slow down the speed of the Japanese army, and transfer the time to win for the large army and the people" Peng Dehuai slapped his big hand and accepted Zhao Zhi's favor. The time for the Eighth Route Army to enter Shanxi was not short, but under the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, their base area and scope of activity were not very large.

"In addition, didn't Zhao Zhi say that they seized a lot of weapons, ammunition and food in Madian?" Peng Dehuai rubbed his tea jar with his big hand, and his face showed an expression of beating local tyrants and dividing the fields, "We only sent a company to Madian to help, and now it seems that there are a few people, and then send a battalion to Madian, tell the battalion commander who leads the team to go into battle lightly, if you can't bring back the weapons of a battalion, this battalion commander of his, even if it is the end of his work" Peng Dehuai's words made the staff officers in the command hold back a smile, the deputy commander of his own family is really regarded as a landlord and old wealth, where is this to help, They simply went for the weapons and ammunition that had been seized.

"Deputy commander, we are more than 200 miles away from Madian, this is still a straight-line distance, if you really calculate the actual distance, I am afraid that it will be more than 300 miles, and when our people rush to Madian, maybe Zhao Zhi will have withdrawn a long time ago" A young staff officer in the command headquarters looked at the map on the wall, and frowned. The necrotic hi jubilant command headquarters just now fell silent in an instant, and indeed as he said, it is very likely that the receiving troops sent to Madian will arrive after Zhao Zhi evacuates, not only can they not get weapons and ammunition, but they may also be dumplings made by the Japanese puppet army who rushed to hear the news.

Peng Dehuai laughed and said, "I didn't say that they should go to Madian, just go to Zhangwu County and wait, Zhao Zhi will definitely find a way to move the weapons and ammunition back to Zhangwu County" Peng Dehuai's words exited, and the staff officers were a little surprised, yes, it's too late to go to Madian, you can go directly to Zhangwu County and wait, Zhao Zhi will not want to withdraw from Shanxi as soon as Zhangwu County is laid. "Tell the battalion commander who led the team, pay attention to proportionality when you go to Zhangwu County to talk to Zhao Zhi, don't annoy others, Zhao Zhi is not our long-term worker"

Compared with the meticulousness of the Eighth Route Army, the national army fell behind, not only did not take Zhao Zhi's reminder seriously, but also arrogantly and directly ordered the commander of the national army who had rushed to Zhangwu County to take over the entire county, Yan Wudao was going to send to Madian to help pull things The cart was also partially stopped by them, if it weren't for the mercenaries under Yan Wudao to pick up the guns, I am afraid that a cart would not be able to get out of the gate of Zhangwu County. Yan Wudao, who was born in the rivers and lakes, was quite steady, and did not turn his face with the national army that rushed over, but only brought mercenaries to guard the barracks compound in the west of the city, and asked Luo Ying to rush to Madian with hundreds of carts to transport things.

"Commander, let's just let them go with the cart?" Standing on the city gate and looking at the distant car, Xu Mang, who had a cold face, whispered to Xu Yunzhao, the regiment commander beside him, Xu Yunzhao is an officer who graduated from Whampoa, and he is arrogant and arrogant, he is an officer from the regular military academy, and he is the regiment commander who has fought with the Japanese army, and he was ordered to come over to receive the order of Zhangwu County is Shangfeng, Xu Yunzhao does not care much about gains and losses in his heart. However, when he rushed to Zhangwu County with his soldiers, he was told that Zhao Zhi had taken his troops to the Madian Railway Station, which was more than 100 miles away, and Xu Yunzhao, who thought that he could smoothly hand over the defense of the county, was shelved in the county seat.

Although he was waiting for him with good food, drink, and accommodation, Xu Yunzhao's heart was still unhappy, and he had also heard of Zhao Zhi's name, but he was a little dissatisfied with the description of Zhao Zhi's gods in other people's mouths. In Xu Yunzhao's view, Zhao Zhi is nothing more than relying on the advanced weapons in his hands, and all he attacks are the Japanese puppet army in the middle of nowhere, not a county town in the mountains or a coal mine above. It was because of this idea that Xu Yunzhao received the order from the Second World War Zone Command, and immediately grabbed the defense of the county town from Yan Wudao, and also intercepted some carts on the pretext of pulling earth and stone to strengthen the fortifications.

"Although we have an order from the Second War Zone, but this Zhao Zhi is not a member of the national army, their establishment has been held in the hands of the old man, not something we can afford to provoke" Xu Yunzhao walked forward a few words and suddenly turned around to look at Xu Mang, "You are the one who has been my orderly, you should know my temper, the people in the barracks in the west of the city are not something you can afford to provoke, erase your little caution as soon as possible, if you really provoke them, Zhao Zhi will not let go of your little company commander when he comes back" Xu Yunzhao's words made Xu Mang a little stunned, In his memory, the head of the regiment Xu Yunzhao is not a timid person, what is the matter today, the old man outside the words really mentions himself, is it possible that Zhao Zhi is a three-headed and six-armed character.
