Liao County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss went outside for a tour, and when he returned to the headquarters, he found that the Deputy Chief of Staff was looking for him.

Seeing the boss, the deputy chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "Boss, why are you out again? Didn't you tell you that several Japanese advancing teams have penetrated into our base area. These Japanese not only pretended to be our Eighth Route Army, but also spoke fluent Chinese, which is really dangerous."

"That's not on the periphery of the base area, which is still far from our headquarters." The boss said disapprovingly, "Besides, the headquarters still has the mouse's Tianlang Squadron and the butcher's Wanlang Squadron. Even if the Japanese advance team really touches it, facing our special forces, I'm afraid I won't get any advantage. Do you think so?"

The Deputy Chief of Staff said: "But now the main force of the Tianlang Squadron and the Wanderer Squadron have gone out, and there are only two teams left at the headquarters. If something happens..."

"There won't be any in case," the boss interrupted, "There's no in case."

While the two were arguing, a communication soldier hurried in and reported: "Chief, the Tianlang Squadron sent an urgent call!"

"Give it to me..." The Deputy Chief of Staff took the telegram and signed it, glanced at the telegram again, and his face suddenly became narrow, "The Japanese have advanced to Xiajiawa."

"Have you arrived at Xiajiawa?"

The boss quickly returned to the map.

Operational staff officer Ma Yuan quickly found Xia Jiawa from the map.

Ma Yuan said: "Boss, Xia Jiawa is here, less than fifteen kilometers away from us."

The boss's face darkened and said, "Fifteen kilometers, according to the current Japanese propulsion speed of five kilometers per day, it is less than three days' journey, provided that we do not block."

"The blocking will definitely not work, it will attract the main force of the Japanese."

The Deputy Chief of Staff said: "Boss, please order the transfer separately."

When the Japanese army surrounded the iron walls, the Eighth Route Army broke into pieces and transferred them separately, which was a routine operation.

The boss ignored it and stared at the map for a while and suddenly asked, "How is Ding Wei and the others?"

"The enemy command before the Taiyuan Battle has not been in contact with the headquarters for almost a day." said the Deputy Chief of Staff, "I am a little worried now that they will withdraw their troops to the north."

"Get out troops and go north to settle accounts with Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang?"

The boss shook his head and said, "From my understanding of Ding Wei, he will not be so impulsive."

The Deputy Chief of Staff said: "Ding Wei will definitely not be impulsive, but Li Yunlong is hard to say. After all, Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang competed for the territory of the independent regiment this time."

The boss said: "But the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan Battle is Ding Wei."

The Deputy Chief of Staff said: "But when Li Yunlong becomes foul, Ding Wei is afraid that he can't stop him."

After being told by the Deputy Chief of Staff, the boss began to feel unsure and said, "Then send a telegram to Ding Wei quickly and ask how it is happening there now?"

When the Deputy Chief of Staff agreed to leave, a communications soldier came in.

"Chief." The Communications Force reported, "The Chief of the Second World War Zone sent a congratulatory message."

"What, congratulatory message?" The boss and the deputy chief of staff looked at each other, and were confused.

It's not the same as the New Year and the Festival, and the Eighth Route Army did not win the battle. What congratulatory message was sent by the head of the Second World War Zone? Could it be that Yan Laoxi was kicked by a donkey?

"Tele me the telegram."

The Deputy Chief of Staff reached out to receive the telegram.

"I want to see what's going on..." The Deputy Chief of Staff spoke and pressed the telegram over, and then he froze there, his eyes wide open.

The boss said angrily: "What's wrong with you? Are your eyes cramped?"

Hearing this, the Deputy Chief of Staff woke up as if he was dreaming and whispered: "Boss, Ding Wei and the others have taken Taiyuan!"

"What? Ding Wei and the others took Taiyuan?" The boss also stared at the top of his eyes and said in a dismay, "Is it because of this congratulatory message in Yan Xishan?"

"Yes." The Deputy Chief of Staff nodded vigorously.

"Give me the telegram." The boss reached out and answered the telegram.

It was not until the boss read the black and white telegram that he believed that this was true. This was really a congratulatory message sent by Yan Xishan, and it was really because the Eighth Route Army restored Taiyuan.

"I can't believe it!"

The boss said: "Ding Wei and the others actually took Taiyuan!"

"Yes, this is incredible." The Deputy Chief of Staff agreed, "This is simply a miracle!"

After a pause, the Deputy Chief of Staff said again: "We have to let Ding Wei, Wang Ye and others make a detailed report to introduce the successful experience of this Taiyuan Battle."

"Owner, although I don't know the process yet, I dare say this is a classic battle."

"With this precedent, our Eighth Route Army will have a reference when it fights the city tough battle in the future."

"More importantly, with the precedent of the Taiyuan Battle, the Japanese may not dare to be as arrogant as they are now. In the future, they will have to leave more troops in various major cities and counties for defense. This will reduce their mobile forces and will no longer be able to concentrate enough troops to sweep away our base areas."

"It is completely foreseeable that the situation in the future will improve greatly."

"Just talking about this anti-sweeping operation in front of you, the Japanese may not be able to continue."

The Deputy Chief of Staff became excited as he said: "I will send a telegram to the front-line command of the Taiyuan Battle."

"Wait, don't send a telegram now." The boss quickly persuaded him, "Ding Wei, Wang Ye and the others must be very busy now, so we should not cause trouble for them."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about this."

The Deputy Chief of Staff slapped his forehead and smiled: "Now is the time to expand the results of the war."

However, the boss picked up the congratulatory message from the Chief Office of the Second World War Zone and said with a smile: "My man, have you smelled a sour smell from this telegram?"

"Some." The Deputy Chief of Staff laughed.

"And it's a jar of old vinegar that has been hidden underground for decades, so sour."

The boss also laughed loudly, and after laughing, he said, "I am also a little curious now. Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Wang Ye and others, what kind of results can we achieve this time?"

The Deputy Chief of Staff said with his finger: "This can be calculated."

The boss said with great interest: "Oh, is that? Then you might as well tell me."

The Deputy Chief of Staff said again: "First of all, Yoshio Iwamatsu, a lieutenant general. So far, there are many Japanese generals killed by our Eighth Route Army, but basically they are brigade commanders, division commanders, and army commanders. If I can kill Yoshio Iwamatsu this time, it will be a record. Of course, it would be better if I can capture it alive."

Hearing this, the boss's eyelids suddenly jumped and he said in a deep voice: "Boy Wang Ye won't do anything random again, right?"

"This..." The Deputy Chief of Staff was speechless. Wang Ye seemed to really like to kill the Japanese generals. According to the investigation, there were many times when Wang Ye had the opportunity to capture the Japanese generals alive, such as Maeda Hide, the commander of the 4th Brigade. Wang Ye had already captured him at that time, but in the end he was killed by Wang Ye.

There is also Tadashi Maeda, the first division commander of the Guards Division.

There is also Miyano Miyano Miyano's second division commander, the Guards Division.

Wang Ye actually had a chance to capture these two old Japanese devils alive.

But Wang Ye executed these two old Japanese without hesitation.

Thinking of this, the Deputy Chief of Staff smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you know that once you are red from the battlefield, you can do anything. In fact, Xiao Wang can't blame him."

"I know this." The boss said in a deep voice, "I have nothing to say about killing the enemy on the battlefield."

He paused and said, "But if he still executed prisoners of war who had been captured alive by us like the time three years ago, I will never forgive him easily, and no matter how great the credit is, I cannot compensate him."

"That certainly won't." The Deputy Chief of Staff said with a smile.

"Didn't Xiao Wang just join our Eighth Route Army?"

"He doesn't know much about the policies of our Eighth Route Army."

"Okay, you don't have to explain it for him." The boss said with a smile.

"By the way, did you take him some benefits? Say good things for him like this?"

"Yes, I took Xiao Wang's benefits." The Deputy Chief of Staff laughed, "He just gave me a big gift, Taiyuan, the capital of SX Province! Chief, this is not an ordinary gift!"

The boss also laughed: "You reminded me if you said that."

He paused and said, "I have to think about it and send a telegram to Ding Wei later."

"Do you always send a telegram to Ding Wei for congratulating them on getting rich?" The Deputy Chief of General Staff laughed.

The boss smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Chen Gen used to call Li Yunlong to congratulate you on his fortune. This time I would also give Ding Wei a congratulations on his fortune, haha."

...

Outside the Gongji Gate of Taiyuan, the Altar of the Soochow, and the Front Command of the Taiyuan Battle.

Ding Wei shivered and whispered: "Why do I have an ominous premonition? It seems something is going to happen?"

Li Xiaoxian, the chief of staff of the New First Regiment, returned to the command center and said, "The leader, the independent regiment, the New Second Regiment, and more than a dozen main battalions of our New First Regiment have all entered Taiyuan City. What else can happen?"

"I can't say it, I just have an ominous premonition." Ding Wei shook his head and said.

Speaking of this, Ding Wei said again: "Chief of Staff, if you stay here, I have to go into the city to take a look."

Li Xiaoxian hurriedly said, "Captain, this army is in chaos, don't go into the city, right? What should I do when I encounter danger?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ding Wei said angrily, "Kong Jie and Li Yunlong both brought their troops into the city. Are I, Ding Wei, not as good as them? Really."

Speaking of this, he shouted again: "Guard Company, get together urgently!"

After a while, Ding Wei led the guard company into the city from Gongji Gate.

...

At this time, the battle in Taiyuan's outer city had basically ended.
To be continued...
