    Chapter 500: Fighting with Yan Xishan

    In the Texas battlefield, after several days of fierce fighting, Liu Tiehan's East Point troops suffered cumulative casualties of more than 30,000 people, more than the establishment of two entire brigades. At the cost, they killed more than 50,000 Japanese troops without losing an inch of the defense line.  Tens of thousands of Japanese troops were pinned down in the Texas area and could no longer move forward.

    The four newly added brigades and one directly affiliated regiment totaled more than 60,000 people. Therefore, the total strength of the East Point Army increased instead of falling, reaching more than 180,000 people. It became the largest force in the ** division system.  Their military strength even exceeded the number of troops commanded by division commander Tang Qiuli himself.

    Although the total force is still at a disadvantage compared to the Japanese army, the difference has narrowed. Liu Tiehan can breathe a sigh of relief. On the local front, he can organize a larger-scale attack and push back the Japanese army facing him for more than ten kilometers.

    On November 14, six infantry brigades, two artillery brigades, and one cavalry brigade, totaling more than 80,000 reinforcements, led by the *** Division Chief of Staff Li Honggang, rushed to the battlefield in Dezhou. On the 16th, Su, who urgently returned north,  The Lu Mobile Corps, with more than 130,000 troops from Tang Qiusheng's department, also rushed to the battlefield in Dezhou.

    In this way, the three main forces of the ** Division were concentrated on the Dezhou battlefield, with a total of more than 390,000 troops. In terms of troop strength, it has greatly exceeded the total strength of the Japanese army after losses, and it also has more than double the firepower of the Japanese army.  Advantages, with strong conditions to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army invading Shandong.

    Tang Qiuli's plan before the war to find an opportunity to annihilate the Japanese army finally became possible in the Dezhou area at the junction of Hebei and Shandong more than ten days after the war started in the Yellow River Basin war zone.

    The current situation is that a clear front line has been formed from west to east with the Yellow River as the line. The western end is the Datong battlefield dominated by Shanxi Yan Xishan's troops, which contains about 200,000 Japanese troops. In the middle section, Niangzi  With Guan as the center, there is currently a stalemate with more than 60,000 troops led by Feng Jiwu, deputy commander of the ** Division, including two divisions of the Jin Army, and the 120,000 Japanese troops attacking the Niangziguan defense line.

    In the easternmost Texas battlefield, the Japanese army currently has about 250,000 troops, and they are fighting with the East Point troops. After several days of fierce fighting, they have lost all their energy and become exhausted. This is most beneficial to the Japanese division.  In this direction, Tang Qiuli placed the idea of ??annihilating the Japanese army on Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiusheng, and Li Honggang.

    Looking at the entire northern front, except for the Niangziguan battlefield in the middle, which must be on the defensive, the Datong battlefield and the Dezhou battlefield all have favorable conditions for launching a general attack on the Japanese army facing them. Unfortunately, Yan Xishan of Shanxi has more than thirty  Thousands of elite Jin troops gathered in the direction of Datong, but they dared not launch a counterattack against the enemy on the opposite side.

    Tang Qiuli had doubts about Tang Qiuli's plan to launch simultaneous counterattacks in Datong and Dezhou in order to annihilate or at least defeat the main forces of the two Japanese armies. He was afraid that he would lose all his money, so he repeatedly emphasized the difficulties and asked Tang Qiuli to send troops  A certain number of reinforcements were required to reinforce the Datong front line and jointly launch an attack on the Japanese army. Otherwise, the Jin army would never be able to shoulder this important task of counterattacking the Japanese army, and would also be betraying the great trust of Vice Chairman Tang.

    After receiving Yan Xishan's telegram, Tang Qiuli, who was in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains, circling with hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, was furious. Yan Xishan was telling lies in broad daylight. The use of his troops had reached the limit. The only thing he could use was  Feng Jiwu's more than 60,000 people were guarding Niangziguan, the east gate of Shanxi Province, for Yan Xishan.

    Yan Xishan is not aware of all this. He is still making small calculations, hoping that the troops of the ** Division will lead the battle for him in the direction of Datong. The battle goes smoothly, and his army of more than 300,000 is pressed across the entire line, which is already shaky.  The last punch of the Japanese army, taking advantage of the chaos to win, think about it, defeating more than 200,000 Japanese troops in one fell swoop, what an amazing result. In this way, Yan Xishan can obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost.

    The war is not going well, and the Japanese army, which has already defeated the troops of the Japanese Army, cannot move forward at all. The defense line composed of more than 300,000 Jin troops waiting to work, Datong is absolutely unharmed. Regardless of victory or defeat, he, Yan Xishan, can make money.  To the advantage, it can be said that he had both sides and took advantage.

    Tang Qiuli could see through Yan Xishan's little plan at a glance. His telegram to Yan Xishan was extremely rude, "Brother Baichuan, this can't be done anymore. The former, you are following the strategic deployment of the war zone, and using two weak divisions to defend  At Niangziguan, the important place, if General Feng Jiwu, deputy commander of our ** division, had not rushed to Niangziguan to set up defenses at starry night and seize the opportunity, the Japanese army would have already arrived at Taiyuan City. Brother Baichuan was still free to enjoy singing and dancing in Taiyuan City.  Huh? I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s already on his way to escape in panic.¡±

    "Brother Baichuan's idea is that our ** division troops are in front, and Tang will definitely not let Niangzi Pass be lost. Later, regarding my strict order to mobilize elite troops of the Jin Army to garrison at Niangzi Pass, you made every possible excuse and talked about difficulties. Datong  The troops on the front line cannot be moved. What is the purpose of the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops on the east bank of the Yellow River, in the Liulin and Yongheguan areas, staying far away from the enemy? "

      "After many urgings, on the 15th, two divisions arrived at the front line of Niangziguan. As a result, our ** division's only mobile force was unable to escape at Niangziguan. To this day, its strength far exceeds that of the Japanese army in front of them.  , and the situation was favorable, the Japanese army turned forward to fight with Zhao Chengshou's troops, which dampened their momentum. This attack was actually in response to the Japanese army's attack on our Taihang Mountain base area. Brother Baichuan not only did not want to do anything, but actually asked Tang, who had no troops to mobilize, to reinforce  On the Datong front line, this request really puts Tang to shame. I wonder what Brother Baichuan thinks? "

    "Now, he has used excuses to evade the strategic deployment of the war zone. What Brother Baichuan has done makes Tang Mou unbearable. He has reported all his actions since the beginning of the war in the north to the National Military Commission. After the Japanese attack is repelled, Tang Mou will  I decided to go to Taiyuan in person to argue with my brother face to face.¡±

    Tang Qiuli had long lost his basic respect for this old man who tried his best to preserve his strength and used other people's things to beat dogs. He was not polite at all. His heart was full of regrets. With the current situation, Datong direction and  In the direction of Texas, there are possibilities and opportunities to annihilate or defeat the Japanese troops facing them.

    If so, after several battles, the overall number of Japanese troops in North China will lose more than one-third, and his future pressure will be greatly reduced. It is a pity that Yan Xishan has always closed the door and made his own calculations, completely ignoring  The overall situation, such a person will never become his help and ally. Shanxi will be his own sooner or later. Yan Xishan, you have to pay the price for this.

    Tang Qiuli secretly felt cruel. I am afraid that Yan Xishan will be much more miserable in the future, but he has not yet realized what kind of person he has angered and what price he will pay for it?

    Tang Qiuli's oral message this time was not as emotional and angry as last time, and his tone was calm. However, to the staff who recorded it, his words were like knives and every word was like arrows. It was even more heart-piercing. Mei, who knew her husband well.  Ting, however, knew that under Tang Qiuli's seemingly calm appearance, there was already soaring anger in his heart, with a cold light in his eyes and murderous intent hidden in his eyes. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, feeling sorry for Yan Xishan. The Shanxi native emperor may not be able to survive in the future.  There will be good days ahead.

    Yan Xishan, who was based in Taiyuan, after receiving Tang Qiuli's telegram, his eyes rolled around with obvious hesitation. His generals and counselors looked at Commander Yan's uncertain face and couldn't guess who it was.  What kind of telegram made the old man look like this?

    Yan Xishan pondered for a long time and signaled to the adjutant to hand the telegram to everyone for circulation. Those with vested interests in Shanxi were furious when they saw the telegram. The crowd was furious. If Tang Qiuli were in front of them, their spit would definitely be splashed.  His face showed that Chief Yan was also a high-ranking official in charge of Shanxi's military affairs. How could he allow Tang Qiuli to question, threaten, and insult him like this?

    Some people had the idea to immediately send a message of complaint to the Nanjing Military Commission to try to take the initiative and not let the high officials in the government believe in Tang Qiuli's words. Some people had the idea to simply negotiate peace with the Japanese army to achieve mutual satisfaction.  Under the conditions, and the Japanese army in front of Niangzi Pass, they attacked from the front and back and killed the more than 60,000 troops of the Japanese Army. First, they broke off one of Tang Qiuli's arms to let him know that Shanxi is not easy to mess with.

    If Tang Qiuli's army had not been in North China, constantly provoking wars and causing the Japanese to suffer heavy losses one after another, the Japanese might not have spent such a large amount of money to carry out this large-scale military attack on Shanxi.  Action, it is clear that the Japanese have not been in North China for a day or two. Before Tang Qiuli came, they were not at peace with us.

    Regarding the former suggestion, Yan Xishan didn't even raise his eyelids. It was purely a scholar's opinion. Chiang Kai-shek had been thinking about Shanxi for many years. Did he succeed this time?  Just based on a telegram from Tang Qiuli, can you still kill my old man¡¯s head?  Slapping lawsuits are useless.

    Yan Xishan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the latter suggestion. He raised his eyelids and looked at those people. They were all close to the Japanese. Negotiating with the Japanese was a matter of time. Now was not the time.  The Japanese troops are pressing down on the border, which is equivalent to negotiating with a gun to the head, without any advantage at all.

    "Killing Tang Qiuli's 60,000 troops, just kidding, do you think it's as simple as eating steamed buns?"  Without 200,000 to 300,000 troops, it is impossible to do it. Besides, behind Tang Qiuli, stood Chiang Kai-shek and hundreds of thousands of other direct troops. This is an open break between me, the government, and Tang Qiuli.  ?

    Those who came up with this idea should be careful not to let the Japanese give them some benefits and sell themselves out. Yan Xishan did not show these thoughts on his face at all. He said magnanimously:  "The war in North China is going on. It's reasonable for me to be young and angry. It's reasonable for me to say some exaggerated words. Old man, I won't care. Don't say anything that is not conducive to sincere unity. Have you all remembered?"

    "Everyone was stunned. How could Chief Yan, who had always held a grudge, suddenly become so measured by the prime minister? They couldn't figure it out. Then, he ordered to send another division to the Niangziguan battlefield.??On the Datong front line, if the Japanese don't move, don't move either. Even if the Japanese do move, you must be aware of it before moving, and you must never take the initiative to attack.

    Speaking of this, Yan Xishan, who looked honest and honest, suddenly revealed his murderous intent. These people were all people who had practiced for many years and had become experts. They vaguely guessed what the old man was thinking, but no one said anything. Who is looking for that trouble?
