Check in from the bright sword

From the very beginning, Generalissimo Chiang did not think that China could defeat Japan, nor did he seriously consider defeating Japan by China alone.

Until now, when the Kuomintang publishes anti-Japanese articles in newspapers, it has not dared to directly use words such as "anti-Japanese" with a clear direction, but only dared to use "anti-x" and "anti-o" for vague mapping.

As for the reason, it was actually to avoid angering the Japanese, hehehehe.

The Sino-Japanese war has ended like this, and the government is actually afraid of angering the Japanese.

At the beginning, Generalissimo Chiang pinned his hope of defeating Japan on the British.

Later, Generalissimo Chiang pinned his hope of defeating Japan on the Soviets.

Now, Generalissimo Chiang has pinned all his hopes of defeating Japan on the Americans.

Therefore, after the Burma Road was cut off by the Japanese army, Chairman Chiang requested the opening of the Hump route, begging the U.S. government to continue transfusing the country through the air route across the West Malaya.

In a word, without foreign aid, it is absolutely impossible!

During the breaks of the meeting, members of the party and the country gathered to chat.

It is inevitable to talk about the ongoing Taiyuan campaign.

"Hey, have you heard? The Jinsui army is attacking Taiyuan."

"What kind of Jinsui army? It's all nonsense. It's obviously the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army? Impossible? How dare a single brigade attack Taiyuan?"

"What is impossible, this matter is absolutely true, and Taiyuan is about to be brought down!"

"My God, when did the Eighth Route Army become so powerful? A single brigade dares to attack Taiyuan, but can it still bring it down? Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province?"

"Maybe it's because Taiyuan is empty."

"Yes, the Japanese army in Shanxi is sweeping up the Taiyue bandit area."

"As a result, the 386 brigade who jumped to the outer line took advantage of the loophole."

"The Japanese are really stealing chickens this time, but they are going to lose money."

"What are you thinking, do you really think that the Eighth Route Army can take Taiyuan?"

As soon as these words came out, the discussions in the lounge stopped immediately.

Because President Chen who spoke was Chairman Jiang's number one confidant, and his position in the party-state was very important. No one dared to refute his opinions easily.

The cruel thing is, the fact will not change just because you are Mr. Chen.

As soon as the words were finished, Lin Wei, the head of the attendant room, hurried up the stairs.

"Director Lin." President Chen asked, "What's the news?"

Lin Wei said: "I just received a secret telegram from the World War II Commander's Department that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has captured Taiyuan!"

"Ah? The Eighth Route Army really captured Taiyuan?" Many party and state officials present all turned their heads to look at Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen's face immediately turned into a pig belly color, how could it be possible?How could the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army capture Taiyuan?

But soon, President Chen's expression returned to normal, and he said, "Even if we take advantage of the loopholes to take down Taiyuan, so what? Once the Japanese army returns in large numbers, they will lose it immediately."

"It will also pay for the entire brigade."

"The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is probably over."

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Wangjiayu.

The left deputy chief of staff said: "Ningji Okamura probably won't let it go."

As soon as the voice fell, another correspondent finished translating the telegram, got up and said, "Boss, the urgent call from the 1st Brigade."

The left deputy chief of staff who was standing next to him took the telegram, and after reading it, his face darkened immediately, and he said, "I really come here for whatever I'm afraid of."

"The Japanese 3rd Brigade and 9th Brigade suddenly stepped up their offensive."

"The 9th Brigade even organized several brigade-scale group charges!"

"The casualties of the regiments under the 1st Daredevil Brigade were too great, and they were forced to get out of the way."

Boss Peng and Master Liu's complexions immediately sank, and the 1st Desperate Brigade moved out of the way, which meant that the Japanese 9th Brigade would be able to return to Taiyuan at full speed!

Boss Peng and Commander Liu hurried back to the war room.

Boss Peng spread out the map and said in a deep voice, "Old Zuo, where is the 9th Brigade now?"

The left deputy chief of staff pointed to the map and said: "Here, Hengling Town is only about 80 kilometers away from Taiyuan. If you march quickly, you should be able to return to Taiyuan before dawn tomorrow!"

Chapter 302 The troubles of happiness

The war room fell silent immediately.

It is already past five o'clock in the evening, and it will be less than 12 hours until dawn tomorrow.

In other words, the 386th brigade only had less than one night to digest the results of the battle, which was undoubtedly far from enough.

Among other things, it was too late to just transfer the supplies.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three days to digest the results of the battle.

Having said that, if it is just a 9th Brigade, the problem is not big.

With the current combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade, the devil's 9th Brigade may not necessarily be afraid.

But the problem is, besides the 9th Brigade, the devils also have the 3rd Brigade, the 41st Division, and even the devils who came to aid from Datong, Zhengding and Baoding!

At that moment, Boss Peng asked, "What about the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division?"

The left deputy chief of staff said: "The ministries of the 212th Brigade and the militia of the 3rd Division are desperately blocking the Japanese 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division."

"It's just that there are not many troops that the 212th Brigade can muster in a hurry."

"The militia in Division 3 was poorly trained and poorly equipped, so casualties were high."

"If nothing else happens, the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division will arrive in Taiyuan before noon tomorrow."

"There are also Japanese troops coming from Datong, Zhengding, and Baoding. It is estimated that they will rush to Taiyuan before tomorrow evening."

Commander Liu said in a deep voice: "Ningji Okamura actually mobilized so many troops to rescue Taiyuan. It seems that we really hurt him this time."

The left deputy chief of staff said: "But in this way, the situation of the 386 brigade is very dangerous."
