Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Jiang Haoran's words made Yu Xuemin suddenly feel unnatural, with a little nervousness and worry in his expression, as if he didn't know how to answer Jiang Haoran's words for a while.

Jiang Haoran continued as if he hadn't heard of it, "Which army are you planning to go south this time, and how many people are there?"

Yu Xuemin swallowed, and said: "115th Division, 120th Division, the first column, the second column and the third column, and some local guerrillas, totaling more than 13."

"What, two divisions and three columns?" Jiang Haoran suddenly stood up from the sofa, puffed up his eyes and looked at Yu Xuemin, and exclaimed.

The Eighth Route Army has only three divisions, the first two divisions plus the 129th division, the number of which was only 3 people, and they are the three main divisions of the gcd.By this period, they had developed five more columns, both of which were the main force.

Although the columns of the Eighth Route Army are nominally at the division level, each column has seven or eight regiments, or even more than a dozen regiments, which are more powerful than the three major divisions. It's fresh, and it's not surprising that there are thousands of people.

Jiang Haoran originally thought that the Eighth Route Army was a small group of troops going south, relying on the New Fourth Army to establish a new base in the Huaihui area. He never thought that they would migrate on such a large scale, so he was extremely shocked.

Moreover, so many troop mobilizations involved unknown aspects. Not only did the Japanese army pay close attention, but the Chongqing government might also be highly nervous. up.

Yu Xuemin didn't seem to have expected that Jiang Haoran would have such a sudden reaction, he hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Don't worry, Chief, listen to me before I finish speaking."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but I want to hear what you guys want to do?" Jiang Haoran sat down again as he spoke, with an attitude of listening attentively.

Yu Xuemin also sat down again and explained the purpose of this trip.

Since Ningji Okamura took office, the raids and encroachment on Northeast China and North China have not stopped, and it has intensified. Several large anti-Japanese bases of the Eighth Route Army have been completely destroyed by the Japanese army. The current bases behind the enemy are only Shanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. , Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei area is still sound, others are no longer scale, no climate, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties, and its survival was seriously threatened. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei area continued to entangle with the Japanese army. One part crossed the Yellow River and entered the Dabie Mountains, and became horns with the New Fourth Army.

But in this way, the Eighth Route Army would have to face the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army in North China and Central China. Therefore, the Yan'an side hoped that Jiang Haoran would assist them and help them complete this strategic shift.

The specific plan is actually quite simple. It is to let Jiang Haoran attack Huangshan and contain the Japanese army in central China, so that the Japanese army in central China cannot spare any troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army, so that they can calmly enter the Dabie Mountains and complete this grand event.

Hearing the words, Jiang Haoran's expression was solemn, he didn't speak for a long time, but his heart was agitated, probably only the person from Yan'an dared to make such a big decision.It seemed like a helpless move by the Eighth Route Army being forced by the Japanese army, but Jiang Haoran understood that the pawns had been laid for the future civil war.

Now the entire anti-Japanese situation has seen the dawn. Although the Japanese army is still rampant in China, with the intervention of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, the Japanese army is no longer able to grow the tail of a rabbit, and will eventually usher in a defeat. At this time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is heading south. It means that they have shifted from the battlefield behind the enemy to the frontal battlefield. In the short term, they are preparing for the counter-offensive of the War of Resistance. With a solid foundation, North China, Central China, and South China can be quickly connected together.

Although he thought of this level, Jiang Haoran certainly wouldn't point it out, and said with a wry smile: "You should still need my help, right? Just hitting Huangshan shouldn't be able to solve your current predicament?"

The reason why Jiang Haoran said this is because the defense line of the Dabie Mountains is the defense area of ​​the Fifth War Zone, and it is impossible for the chairman to allow the Eighth Route Army to enter. Since Jiang Haoran can see the future situation from it, the chairman also has this insight. If this wishful thinking becomes a reality, he has to lobby the Chongqing government to let the chairman put down his worries. But in this way, his image in the chairman's heart is completely ruined. Even if he is not suspected of collusion, this relative I am afraid that the suspicion of the Communist Party will not escape properly.

Sure enough, Yu Xuemin slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "God! Our boss said, as soon as I say it, you will understand. I didn't believe it at first, but now I don't admire it. Indeed, we still hope you Can find a way to help us borrow a way to the fifth theater."

Jiang Haoran said: "Your boss? Which boss?"

"Of course it's Mr. Zhu, the commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army!" Yu Xuemin said very proudly.

Jiang Haoran sneered and said: "Why, he calculated that I would help you with this favor? He even determined that I could help you with this matter?"

Yu Xuemin said: "Our boss said that if you can't do it, then no one can do it. He also said that you are a patriotic general. As long as it is for the country and the nation, you will definitely agree to it." of!"

From Yu Xuemin's words, Jiang Haoran can basically confirm that Yan'an has not announced his party status to the people below, and even Boss Zhu may not know it. Leading, of course, the one in Yan'an and the Duke of Zhou must know that they will agree, otherwise, without their own pawn, they really dare not take this risky move.

Jiang Haoran hesitated for a while, and then readily agreed to Yu Xuemin. He decided to help, but he didn't forget to put on a show. He did this for the sake of this suffering nation, and to expel the Japanese invaders as soon as possible. Moreover, the help is limited to this. As for the Eighth Route Army being encircled by the Japanese army in the future, he will not be able to help.

Yu Xuemin didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he was overjoyed immediately, his chest slapped loudly, and he just said that this was enough, if the Eighth Route Army was really surrounded by the Japanese army, it was because they were incompetent and could not blame others.

And Jiang Haoran's words are so absolute, there is also a deep meaning. On the one hand, it reminds them to be cautious. On the other hand, at the most critical moment of the war of resistance, Jiang Haoran really can't fall out with the chairman, or even stand on the opposite side. Go, that would bring more uncertainties to the war of resistance in front of us.

In the following time, Jiang Haoran asked in detail the current specific location of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, he was also very strange, how did 10,000+ people pass through the heavy blockade of the Japanese army and enter the Dabie Mountain area. ,
