PFC Chapter 163
Chapter 163
Especially when everyone visited the Taihang Military Factory, they were so surprised by the scale that they were speechless.
After a few days, the deputy commander and his team had a great experience.
Before leaving, the deputy commander-in-chief and Zeng Jiwen and others began to discuss the current situation in southeastern Shanxi.
"Comrade Zeng Jiwen, you are aware of the current situation. With the Eighth Route Army's recovery of southeastern Shanxi, all parties are paying close attention to us."
"In addition to those in China, many compatriots overseas are paying close attention. Over the past period of time, the overseas donations we have received have increased several times more than before, which was unimaginable before."
The Deputy Chief of General Staff also added, "It is precisely because of these things that the Jin and Yu people's attitudes towards us have changed somewhat."
"They wanted to send troops to Changzhi before, but for some reason they didn't mention it anymore."
"Over in the Jindi New Army, that person has stopped allowing the appointment of a political commissar."
After listening to this, Zeng Jiwen understood a little.
If they don't send troops, they might be thinking of fighting the Japanese army to the death next year, while they will just sit back and watch.
As for the one in Jin, according to Zeng Jiwen's guess, he might have some ideas about the new army.
Immediately, Zeng Jiwen told his guess to the deputy commander-in-chief and others.
At the same time, it means that we are ready to be prepared for the person in K'anpo to turn against us.
Compared to the original time and space, this timeline is likely to turn against each other even faster.
The deputy commander and his entourage nodded. Based on various intelligence reports, they also guessed that this person would turn hostile even faster.
By then, a conflict would be inevitable.
However, Zeng Jiwen suggested moving the new army to the eastern part of Linfen.
This place is close to the 389th Division. If anything happens, Zeng Jiwen will cooperate with the new army directly with lightning speed to capture the stubborn elements inside.
At the same time, since the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is currently mainly in the northwest of Shanxi, we can suggest to Commander He that we directly surround these guys.
The 389th Division seized a large number of weapons this time due to the complex enemy situation in northwestern Shanxi, which included the Japanese army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Central Army.
Unlike in the southeastern Shanxi region, where the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army withdrew early and the Central Army also evacuated to the Zhongtiao Mountains with the 47th Army for rest and recuperation, only the Eighth Route Army was active in the entire area.
Therefore, most of the equipment seized this time will be used to support the northwest of Shanxi.
Zeng Jiwen suggested that if that person really wanted to cause trouble, they could just surround him and confiscate his weapons.
Anyway, it would be a waste to leave these equipment in their hands.
Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, everyone burst into laughter.
It was originally under discussion that due to the Eighth Route Army's outstanding performance on the Shanxi battlefield, it had almost become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese army and the man at Kenanpo.
However, Zeng Jiwen unexpectedly thought about how to take advantage of this opportunity to fleece that person.
I really don’t know what that person would feel after knowing this.
At the same time, Zeng Jiwen also roughly stated that Chongqing had no intention of sending troops.
On the one hand, the casualties among the various troops in the Battle of Xuzhou were quite heavy. At the same time, there may have been an intention to let the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army fight to the death.
After all, the current situation in Shanxi has reached this point, and the First Army has shifted its attention from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army to the Eighth Route Army.
If the Central Army entered southeastern Shanxi at this time, it would most likely help the Eighth Route Army resist the Japanese army's massive attack next year.
According to the idea of the person in Chongqing, he probably wants to take advantage of the recovery of the Japanese army next year to launch a large-scale attack to deplete the strength of the Eighth Route Army.
After all, since crossing the Yellow River to the east, the development of the Eighth Route Army has somewhat exceeded that person's expectations.
Moreover, at this time, a large number of troops were withdrawn for the Battle of Wuhan, and the safety of the defense line in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in the north also had to be guaranteed.
