Political Commissar Meng smiled and said, "Tell me, there are no outsiders here, even if you guess wrong, no one will laugh at you." ”Li Guotao nodded, his eyes fell on the map on the table again, and said with a serious face: "I think that if the Japanese army really opens up the Pinghan railway line, it will be quite unfavorable for the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War."
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to sit idly by, but the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the Henan area is relatively weak, and it is probably impossible to give enough help to friendly forces from the frontal battlefield.Unless troops are transferred from Shanxi and other places to support Henan, but this is obviously unlikely. ”"Oh, why tell me your reasons."
Political Commissar Meng frowned slightly and said.Li Guotao explained with a smile: "Because that old Jiang in Chongqing will never allow the Eighth Route Army to enter the Henan region.In the heart of that old Chiang, I am afraid that our Eighth Route Army is even more terrible than the Japanese.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, a large area of the country fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and Henan Province has become one of the most important granaries of the Chongqing government. ”Political Commissar Meng frowned and thought about it, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense.But since Henan is so important, Lao Jiang must not give Henan to the Japanese.Therefore, Lao Chiang, in the name of the central government, will inevitably order our Eighth Route Army to send troops to attack Hebei in order to contain the Japanese forces and ensure the safety of Henan. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "The little devil is not a fool, so he will naturally guard against this, so recently, they will build a large number of turret fortresses along the Pinghan Railway, just to prevent our Eighth Route Army from launching an attack and attacking the Pinghan Railway."
Although we captured Shanxi, the Japanese army mobilized more reinforcements, and the total strength of the North China Dispatch Army has reached its peak, and the loss of Shanxi is a big loss for the Japanese army, but it is not completely without benefits.At least their battle line was shortened, but their troops were more sufficient, so that even if they sent the main force to attack Henan, they could leave enough troops to defend the area along the Pinghan Railway in Hebei. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded approvingly and said, "What you said is good.The little devils are building fortifications along the Pinghan Railway, and it is estimated that Gangcun Ningci is now eager for us to attack the Pinghan Railway, and then use this line of death to consume the vital strength of our Eighth Route Army, which is much better than their direct attack on Shanxi. ”Li Guotao nodded and said, "I also heard that there is a secret contact between the little devil and Yan Laoxi. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded and said: "Yan Laoxi has always had contact with the Japanese, but this Yan Laoxi should not have defected to the Japanese, if he had surrendered, he would have surrendered a long time ago, and he would not have waited until now, the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War is much better than before, I think he will not do such a stupid thing, so we don't have to worry too much about this." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "I'm not worried that Yan Laoxi will really defect to the Japanese, but I'm trying to figure out what the purpose of the Japanese contact with Yan Laoxi is, I'm afraid the Japanese won't be naïve to think that Yan Laoxi will really surrender, so their purpose is not just to recruit surrender, most likely they want to take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, and even the Central Army."
Let's kill each other with a knife, let's kill each other. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded and said: "It is estimated that Gangcun Ningci also saw that between our Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Central Army, there is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface, so he will resort to this trick to sow discord."
I have to say that this Gangcun Ningci is indeed powerful, much more difficult to deal with than Terauchi Shouichi, Sugiyama Moto, and Tada Junke" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Yes, those three old devils are probably tied together, and none of them are difficult to deal with."
However, Gangcun Ningci thought that with this move, he would be able to deal with our Eighth Route Army, then he was a little whimsical, and our Eighth Route Army would never be fooled. ”Political Commissar Meng frowned, and said with a worried face: "But if the Chongqing government, in the name of the central government, orders our Eighth Route Army to send troops to Hebei, then what should we do?"
Li Guotao said with a smile: "According to the agreement between the two parties after the Xi'an Incident, our Eighth Route Army insists on independent guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.According to this agreement, Lao Chiang had no reason to ask us to take the initiative to launch an attack on the Hebei region. ”Political Commissar Meng waved his hand and said: "You are too naïve, this time and that time, what kind of virtue is Lao Jiang, you should have heard of it, with the continuous development and growth of my Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang feels a greater threat, in order to consume the strength of my Eighth Route Army, he will definitely not take into account the so-called agreement before."
If we refuse to obey orders, he will definitely put a big hat on us for disobeying the orders of the central authorities, and this will have an extremely unfavorable impact on our Eighth Route Army politically.And they can also justifiably provoke disputes on the grounds that we do not obey orders, which is also extremely unfavorable to the overall situation of the entire War of Resistance. ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "We can obey the order, but how to carry out this mission is up to us."
Gangcun Ningci has already dug a trap along the Pinghan Railway, waiting for us to jump in, we are not so stupid, knowing that it is a trap, we will jump into it without hesitation.I believe that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and even the Yan'an side will definitely properly handle this matter.Our main task now is to seize the time, complete the reorganization task as soon as possible, improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and wait for the order of the headquarters" Political Commissar Meng frowned and thought about it, sighed softly and said: "For now, it can only be like this. ”Li Guotao smiled and said, "I guess it won't be long before the order from the headquarters arrives."
Our seventh column is estimated to be leaving here, Laiyuan is a place with good mountains and good waters, and better people.The thought of leaving here made me feel a little reluctant. ”Political Commissar Meng couldn't help but smile and said: "When did you kid become so sentimental" Li Guotao said with a smile: "People will change, can't I change" "Everyone else will change, I don't think your kid will change" Commissar Meng shook his head and said with an affirmative face.Li Guotao frowned and said: "You mean that my dog can't change it" "Haha" Political Commissar Meng laughed and said: "This is what you said yourself, I didn't say it." ”At this moment, Ma Zhenguo came back, looked at the two of them blankly and said, "What did you just say so happy." ”Li Guotao explained with a smile: "I'm discussing with Political Commissar Meng, the problem that the dog can't change" "Ah" Ma Zhenguo couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise, even more confused."
Haha" Seeing Ma Zhenguo's current appearance, Li Guotao and Political Commissar Meng laughed even more happily.Ma Zhenguo scratched his head and couldn't help laughing.aa2705221:
