In the early autumn sunshine, the golden sorghum on both sides of the Yellow River stretches for dozens of miles, the red ears drooping low, and the breeze passes, making a rustling sound. After more than a year of drought, it finally ushers in a good harvest year. Around this dense sorghum field, countless soldiers are walking along various roads to the north. They carefully avoid the crops in the field, carry guns, and sweat profusely.

Luo rhuan, Chen g, Peng x Feng stood on a small hill and watched the troops march northward. As the Japanese army quickly contracted, the troops continued to march northward, towards Inner Huang and Nanle after occupying Puyang. Since this area was once the Eighth Route Army base and had a good mass base, the troops were strongly supported by the people during the advancement.

"The Central Committee called, in view of the situation in Shanxi, reminds us to be vigilant against the sudden attacks of the Kuomintang, especially Tang Enbo, who is a veteran in friction." Luo Rhuan handed the telegram in his hand to Chen G. The telegram was forwarded by the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Yan'an. Yan'an reminded them in the telegram to be vigilant against the Kuomintang at all times.

"In view of this situation, I suggest that the troops temporarily stop advancing after occupying Neihuang and Nanle." Peng Dfeng said.

Chen G frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The situation is very good now. Gu Shoufu was attracted by Tang Enbo. We can take the opportunity to enter southern Hebei. Judging from the situation in Shanxi, who has grabbed the territory now will be whom. Once Tang Enbo defeats Gu Shoufu, he will free up his hands to grab the territory with us. It is better to take advantage of the situation and we will take action first."

Speaking of this, he reached out to the staff next to him for a map, and opened it on the horse's back: "You, the Japanese army in Shandong gathered in Liaocheng and Tai'an; Gu Shoufu gathered in Anyang; according to the situation reported by the central government, the Japanese army withdrawn from Shanxi will go to Changzhi, Lucheng and Handan. From Cangshi Road to the bank of the Yellow River, there are almost no large enemies in front of us. The main enemy is the puppet army. We can cover all this area, and then we can go forward to Hebei and restore the Hebei base."

"This plan is good, I think it's all," Luo Rhuan nodded and said, "Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying are still behind us. Puyang, we didn't want it, but Neihuang and Nanle will not hand it over to them again. Chen G, come and make a plan."

After occupying Puyang, Yan'an called to merge Luo Rhuan's 115th Division and Chen G's guerrilla corps. The external name remains unchanged, and the internal name is collectively called the Ji Nan Column. The column commander Chen G and political commissar Luo Rhuan formed the secretary of the Ji Nan Front Committee, with Luo Rhuan as secretary, and Chen G and Huang Kcheng as deputy secretary; the troops left by the 115th Division in Shandong were placed under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Military Region, with Chen Y as commander, and Su Y as deputy commander; the East China Bureau was formed, with Rao Shushi as secretary of the East China Bureau, and Chen Y and Li Yu as deputy secretary.

Chen G did not refuse or give in. He said: "I see that the troops were divided into three routes. The Second Detachment of the Guerrilla Column cooperated with the 115th Division and went straight north to capture Weixian, Qiuxian, Guantao and other places; Lao Peng, you lead the third detachment to capture Linzhang and threaten Anyang side, remember not to capture Anyang; I lead the First Detachment and the New Eighth Army, Pang Bingxun, Sun Dianying's puppet army, seized Daming, and then turned to Guanxian, Shandong, and threatened Liaocheng from the north. Our two routes are the answers to the errand assigned by my old classmate."

The New Eighth Army and the New 110th Division were also operating with the Eighth Route Army, as well as the newly-realized Pang Bingxun Sun Dianying, who was particularly active, and Pang Bingxun even offered to attack Anyang from the flanks.

The Chinese team had just crossed the Yellow River. Gu Shoufu, who was waiting for the battle in Xinxiang, began to retreat. Within three days, the entire army retreated to Anyang. Gu Shoufu was almost gone. Tang Enbo was shocked and quickly sent troops to pursue him. In the end, there was only a very little harvest. Gu Shoufu almost retreated to Anyang.

After Tang Enbo led his troops to occupy Xinxiang, he went north carefully along the way. After passing Tangyin, Tang Enbo's actions became cautious. He retreated after a little contact on the periphery of the Japanese army. The three armies had a total force of nearly 300,000 people, and neither attacked nor retreated. It was neither to fight, nor retreat.

On the Shandong battlefield, after Guan Linzheng captured Zhucheng, he left behind the Shandong guerrilla column commanded by Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army and Qin Qirong, and led the attack on all sides. His main force was commanded westward along the Jiaoji Railway and headed straight to Jinan.

The situation in Jiaodong is exactly the same as that in Shanxi. Instead of the Kuomintang competing for territory, the Kuomintang gained the upper hand. With the help of the puppet army, the Kuomintang occupied most of the Jiaodong area, and the Eighth Route Army won Penglai, Weihai, Yantai and other eastern Jiaodong areas. In addition, it retained an anti-Japanese base in the Dazeshan area.

The Kuomintang obtained the vast area west of Qixia and to Weifang. After passing Weifang, the Kuomintang was intertwined and mixed. Overall, the Kuomintang occupied the main cities and nearby villages on the Jiaoji line, while the GCD occupied the county towns and villages in slightly faraway areas. However, what the Kuomintang was more taboo was that even in the Jiaoji line, the areas where the Kuomintang had strong power still had GCD's grassroots branches.

In Jiaodong, the two parties fought a battle around Qingdao. The Eighth Route Army led by Xu Syou fought fiercely with Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army in Liugou west of Jimo. Yu Xuezhong was defeated and asked Guan Linzheng for help urgently. Due to the gains and losses of Qingdao, Guan Linzheng ignored Zhuang Jihua's orders and ordered Yang Sen's 24th Army to advance eastward and intercept Xu Syou near Jimo. Seeing that the Kuomintang army was coming to provide a large amount of assistance, Xu Syou led his troops to retreat eastward. Yang Sen was not anxious to catch up. After recovering the entire territory of Jimo, he turned around and chased Guan Linzheng westward.

As for the puppet army, Guan Linzheng had no time to pay attention to them, let them garrison in place, and let Qin Qirong's guerrilla column divide his troops to supervise. Yu Xuezhong led his troops to Qingdao and Jimo to monitor the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong.

Although Guan Linzheng did not believe in GCD, he still had a GCD unit under his command, which was Chen Yi's unit of the First Division of the New Fourth Army and the First Detachment of the Eighth Route Army (formerly known as the Sulu Detachment) advancing from the east of Yimeng Shandong.

After Jiaodong was restored, according to the agreement reached by Chen G, Luo R, Huan and Zhuang Jihua, Chen Y will command the Eighth Route Army of Shandong and the New Fourth Army to join the combat sequence against Guan Linzheng and participate in the attack on Jinan. Once he joins Guan Linzheng, the occupied areas will be owned by the Kuomintang and Jinan will be occupied by the Kuomintang.

Guan Linzheng swept across Jiaodong, and Matsui Ishien could no longer sit still in Jinan City and was preparing to draw the 62nd Division from Taishan Defense Line to Jiaodong. However, this order was rejected by Okamura Yasuji. Okamura Yasuji urgently called from Peiping, strictly ordering that no troops were allowed to be drawn from Taishan Defense Line to Jiaodong, and the 62nd Division retreated to Jinan.

As soon as the 62nd Division left the Laiwu area, Lan Yundong commanded the 50th Army to attack the Laiwu area. At the same time, Du Yuming commanded the 50th Army to launch a frontal attack on Tai'an, and Zhong Bin led the 36th Army to launch an attack from Pingyin to the east.

After the two wings were spread, the Tai'an Group, which was responsible for the frontal attack, was attacking, but the scale of the attack did not exceed one company. Du Yuming, Lan Yundong and Zhong Bin were divided into three routes and advanced slowly to the Taishan defense line, biting Matsui Ishigen's main force, making it impossible for him to draw troops from the Taishan defense line to reinforce Jiaodong and the north bank of the Yellow River. In order to ensure Du Yuming's retreat, Zhuang Jihua placed the Qing three armies in Yanzhou and Qingsi military Fei County as the reserve team for the entire battle.

"The Sixty-Second Division has moved." He Wei reported to Zhuang Jihua with a telegram with a little surprise.

After the attack aimed at Jinan began, many good news came from all over the country, but to be honest, there were not many Japanese troops annihilated. Only Lin Zheng annihilated 3,000 Japanese troops in Liaocheng, Yu Xuezhong and Yang Sen wiped out nearly 1,000 Japanese troops in Qingdao. In the rest of the areas, either the Japanese army voluntarily gave up, or the puppet troops were ready at any time. Until now, there was no real fierce battle.

Jihua just nodded softly and then stopped saying anything. He Wei was a little strange when he saw this. The movements of the Japanese army were all pre-war, and Zhuang Jihua seemed to be not happy at all.

Xu Zuyi came over, took the telegram from him, and then smiled softly: "Du Guangting is asking for a fight, should he loosen his ties?"

"Okay, let Du Guangting play." Zhuang Jihua's tone was a little wandering, and he seemed to have no determination.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zuyi and He Wei felt even more surprised. They looked at the information in Zhuang Jihua's hands at the same time. This was what Wang Xiaoshan had just sent.

"Look at it. Okamura Yasuji has the idea of ​​giving up the Taishan defense line. I was wondering if they would just let them escape back to the north bank of the Yellow River and then annihilate them in the North China Plain." Zhuang Jihua handed the information in his hand to Xu Zuyi. Xu Zuyi was a little disbelief when he heard this, but He Wei frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.

Guan Linzheng came from Jiaodong and directly rushed to Jinan. The Taishan defense line was no longer meaningful. If Song Xilian defeated the Japanese army on the north bank of the Yellow River again, then the Japanese army guarding Mount Tai would become a turtle in the jar. It would be wise to give up the Taishan defense line.

"To conquer the Taishan defense line, the General Staff believes that at least 80,000 people will be lost. If the Japanese army is placed on the plains and the advantages of our tanks and air force can be used, we can save half of it, that is 40,000 people, which should be more cost-effective than a transaction." Zhuang Jihua walked slowly to the map with his hands behind his back, muttering.

Xu Zuyi did not notice that he was shocked by the information. Okamura Yasuji actually wrote the article on the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, using Taiyuan and Qingdao to write articles. What about Jinan? By the way, Jinan stipulated that it was occupied by the Kuomintang army at the pre-war meeting.

"This Okamura Yanji is so cunning. He handed over Taiyuan and Datong to GCD. He intends to provoke relations between the two parties." Xu Zuyi was very angry, as if he was very dissatisfied with the other party's secret moves.

"This is exactly where Okamura Yasuji is better than other Japanese generals." Zhuang Jihua's tone was not so excited: "He has seen clearly that the opportunity for the Japanese is in China's civil strife. As long as China does not have civil strife, Japan will not have a chance."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "It's a pity that our own people didn't see it."

Xu Zuyi and He Wei remained silent at the same time. The conflict in Qingdao had been reported, and the Military Commission also informed the conflict in Taiyuan. Chiang Kai-shek also called Zhuang Jihua to warn him of gcd fighting for territory at the back of **.

The sound of footsteps came from the door. Gong Xiuhua's figure had just appeared in front of the door and was stopped. He Wei noticed that the person who came gave Gong Xiuhua a telegram. Gong Xiuhua's face, which was originally relatively relaxed, suddenly turned white and shook his body. After a while, he put the telegram in his shirt pocket, and then entered the door.
