Check in from the bright sword

At the same time, the 120th division was sent to congratulate the boss, and troops were sent to respond halfway.

Boss Peng thought that the 386 brigade was unwilling to go to Northwest Shanxi, so he was a little angry.

At that moment Boss Peng said again: "An order is an order, they can't choose!"

"Boss, it's not this." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said, "The 386th Brigade proposes to defend Taiyuan to buy time for the Taiyuan party organization to mobilize civilians to rush to transport supplies!"

"Huh?" Boss Peng's expression froze immediately when he heard the words, "Defend Taiyuan?!"

"Yes, defend Taiyuan!" Zuo Deputy Chief of Staff said, "They think they can take advantage of the lack of defense of the Japanese army and attack first to defeat the 9th Brigade, which is the most threatening!"

"That's a good idea." Boss Peng nodded happily.

"The 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army was originally defeated by the 386th Brigade."

"When the 386th Brigade broke through from the Taiyue Military Region, it severely damaged an infantry brigade and the brigade headquarters of the 9th Brigade."

"Now the 9th Brigade actually has only four infantry brigades, no artillery, and no supply units. It is the time when its actual combat capabilities are weakest."

"With the current strength of the 386th Brigade, there is absolutely no problem in defeating the 9th Brigade!"

The left deputy chief of staff also said: "After defeating the 9th Brigade, the 386th Brigade will stick to the lines of Yuci, Xiaodian and Jinyuan to ensure that road and rail traffic are cut off."

"In this way, the Japanese 3rd Brigade and 41st Division that arrived later could not threaten Taiyuan."

Boss Peng frowned and said: "With the preset defensive position, it is of course no problem to block the Japanese 3rd Brigade and 41st Division, but in this way, the 386th Brigade will also be entangled by the Japanese army. If you want to get rid of it, you will have to Difficult, wait until the Japanese 8th Brigade, 110th Division and 26th Division arrive successively, then it will be over."

The left deputy chief of staff nodded and said: "So the 386th Brigade chose to stick to Taiyuan!"

"Since there is no way to get rid of it, then simply don't move it, and fight the Japanese army to the death in Taiyuan!"

"If it was a decisive battle in the wild, the 386th Brigade might not even be enough to put the Japanese army in the teeth, but if it were to fight in the streets of Taiyuan City, I'm afraid it would still be enough."

"Because Taiyuan City is not big."

"Even if the Japanese army attacked in four directions at the same time, they would deploy at most four brigades."

"In this way, the Japanese army could not take advantage of its strength, but the 386th Brigade could take advantage of its terrain."

"Thus, the 386th Brigade's idea of ​​defending Taiyuan to the death, after beating the Japanese army in Shanxi to the bone, and then calmly breaking through, I think it is still possible."

Speaking of this meal, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said again: "Besides, there is another benefit that the 386 Brigade did not expect."

Boss Peng said: "You mean, the Shanxi Japanese army was firmly attracted to Taiyuan by the 386th Brigade, and our Taiyue Military Region and other military regions' brother troops can take advantage of this opportunity to restore or even expand their bases."

"Yes." The left deputy chief of staff nodded, "This is a good opportunity."

Boss Peng said: "But this is just a hypothesis. The 386th Brigade may also be trapped to death in Taiyuan!"

"Yes, the 386th Brigade may indeed be trapped to death in Taiyuan." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said, "So, in the end, it is up to you, the boss, to decide whether or not the 386th Brigade will be allowed to stick to Taiyuan?"

Boss Peng immediately showed a struggling look on his face.

"Old Zuo, this decision is not easy! This is a brigade!"

"Moreover, the 386th Brigade is still the brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness in our entire Eighth Route Army!"

The left deputy chief of staff didn't say any more. As the chief of staff, he had already said what should be said, and the rest was for Mr. Peng, who was the deputy commander in chief.

Chapter 308 How much is it?

"very?"

Chief Yan looked at Director Guo in surprise.

"The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army wants to defend Taiyuan to the death?"

"Yes." Guo Zhengliang nodded and said, "This is really puzzling."

"Taiyuan has been beaten down by them, and the Japanese reinforcements will not arrive until at least tomorrow morning."

"They obviously have enough time to transfer, why don't they leave, but have to stay and defend?"

"Just because of the supplies in Taiyuan City? How much are those supplies worth? Can it be more important than a brigade?"

"Where's Chu Yunfei?" Yan Zhangguan said, "The Eighth Route Army wants to die, let them do it, but the 358th regiment of the Russian Jinsui Army can't follow them as cannon fodder."

"This is the model regiment of the Russian Jinsui Army!"

"Don't say that you didn't get any benefits in the end, and instead set up a model regiment for nothing, then our Jinsui Army really lost money."

Guo Zhengliang smiled wryly: "Boss, I'm afraid this will disappoint you."

"What do you mean by that?" Chief Yan asked, "The 358th Regiment is also going to defend Taiyuan?"

"Yes, this is the requesting telegram from Commander Chu." Guo Zhengliang handed over a telegram as he spoke, "It is nominally asking for instructions, but in fact a decision has been made that the 358th Regiment will live and die with Taiyuan!"

"He said that at such a critical moment, if only the Eighth Route Army guards Taiyuan without the participation of the Jinsui Army, then the people in Shanxi will only know the Eighth Route Army and not the Jinsui Army in the future."

Yan Zhangguan immediately fell silent when he heard the words.

Because Chu Yunfei was right.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's choice to defend Taiyuan is also good for the Jinsui Army.

The first advantage is that the materials obtained by the 358 regiment have the opportunity to be transported back.

That is [-] to [-] tons of materials, which can be of great use when transported back to Shanxi.

What's more, the Japanese army in Shanxi was made so passive by the Eighth Route Army, so they would take more defensive actions against the Jinsui Army, and even secretly indulged their Jinsui Army.

In Chongqing, Yunxiu Building, the official residence of Huangshan.

Because it was past the meal time when the meeting ended, Chairman Jiang asked the attendants to prepare a table of simple meals, and invited the senior officials who attended the meeting to stay and eat together.

For senior officials of the party-state, it is undoubtedly a great honor to have a meal with Chairman Chiang.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. President Chen even talked about the past of the Second Expedition to the Dongjiang River. This is undoubtedly a rare highlight moment in Chairman Jiang's life.

At that time, Generalissimo Jiang also narrowly escaped death.

If the brigade commander, one of the three heroes of Huangpu, hadn't memorized him from the front line, Chinese history would have been rewritten.

It is precisely because of this battle that the legend of "Three Heroes of Whampoa: Jiang Xianyun's pen, He Zhonghan's mouth, and Chen Geng's legs" was left in the Whampoa Military Academy.

Speaking of this, everyone flattered wildly for fun.

It is said that Generalissimo Chiang is not afraid in the face of danger, and he is not surprised by changes, which is the style of a famous general in ancient times.
