The next day, all units of the Shanxi New Army received orders.

The first column and the second column executed the order and drove towards the destination.

Sure enough, there was a turmoil in the third column. The Kuomintang officers in the four regiments announced that they would take over the troops and ordered the troops to set off immediately to meet with Yan Xishan's troops.

However, they guarded the people above, but not the people below.

The backbone of the Communist Party members in the four regiments immediately called on everyone to resist this near-rebellion behavior. They immediately received a response.

When more than a dozen Kuomintang officers met to arrange their action plans, the soldiers led by the Communists surrounded the place where they held the meeting.

After a gunfight, eight Kuomintang officers were killed, and the others all surrendered.

The news was reported to the New Army Command immediately. The command immediately ordered the new regiment leaders to go to various regiments. A riot was finally stopped.

The Second Column was already at the foot of Hongdong County.

Instead of launching an attack, they built positions outside the city.

Surround but not hit.

At the same time, the people of the 120th Division also built positions.

As a result, the Japanese corps captain in the Hongdong became scared.

There are more than 15,000 troops outside the city. How can he duel with the more than 3,000 people in his hands?

Although the Japanese army's weapons and equipment were stronger than the other side, the decisive factor for victory lies in people. The five-to-one ratio was not against the national army that had been defeated thousands of miles in the Nanjing war. The Eighth Route Army was in front of them.

So, the corps leader rescued the brigade commander.

The brigade commander asked for help from the division commander.

In order to rescue the Japanese wing, surrounded by Chinese troops, the Japanese division commander ordered a brigade of Japanese troops to attack Xiangning.

Xiangning was captured by the Japanese army in less than half a day.

After conquering Xiangning, the Japanese army rushed directly to Ji County, where Yan Xishan's main force was located.

Since Yan Xishan lost Taiyuan, he also lost Linfen, and finally came to Jixian County. He used the Yellow River to swim on both sides, learned from Xu Xiangqian, and started guerrilla warfare.

This time, tens of thousands of people from a brigade of the Japanese army blocked him directly in Ji County.

Yan Xishan was frightened and hurriedly ordered all troops to come to rescue him. However, the distance could not relieve his near thirst.

At this time, Yan Xishan thought of the Shanxi New Army.

So he sent a telegram to the Shanxi Xinjun, ordering them to come to Ji County for rescue.

After receiving the telegram from Yan Xishan, the Shanxi New Army said that they were attacking Hongdong and could not get out of it. They asked Yan Xishan's troops to hold on for two days. Two days later, they captured Hongdong and then led their troops to Ji County.

Wave your head, you are your feet!

Yan Xishan knew that this was an excuse for the new army.

You, Yan Xishan, use the new army as cannon fodder, why should I save you?

After persisting for three hours, the outer position was broken through. Yan Xishan knew that if not ten hours, he would become a prisoner of the Japanese army. At that time, the Japanese army would escort him, stand in a big cart, and shout loudly: "See? This is the pickled vegetable sour."

From then on, when people saw him, they called him pickled vegetables and not Yan Xishan.

I don't want to be a pickle!

So, Yan Xishan sent a telegram to Yan'an, admitting that he believed Chiang Kai-shek's provocation and sent Shanxi new troops to die. He hoped that for the sake of the joint anti-Japanese war, he would save the pickled vegetables... No, Yan Xishan was there.

After receiving the telegram from Yan Xishan, Yan'an sent a telegram to the Shanxi New Army and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, asking them to give up the difficult-to-attack Hongdong and lead their troops to Jixian.

As a result, the Japanese army in Hongdong was found to be understood.

However, a brigade of the Japanese army attacking Ji County also received news. Nearly 55,000 Eighth Route Army and Shanxi New Army were rushing towards Ji County.

One-to-five, think about it.

Therefore, the Japanese brigade commander issued an order to retreat.

Ji County has been learned from the circumference.

After the rescue, Yan Xishan no longer stayed in Ji County. He left Ji County by boat and went to Yichuan County in Yan'an until the Japanese surrendered.

In this way, the December incident in which Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan planned to plot against the Shanxi New Army was resolved. At the same time, the Shanxi New Army officially accepted the leadership of the Communist Party.

...

The morning after meeting with Minister Li, Cao Ning left Yan'an.

He rode his horse and drove fast all the way, and arrived in Yanchang County for an hour and a half.

When they met Goro Inoue and the others, they were having a meal.

The delicious Goro Inoue still asked someone to order a table of food and took it back.

"It's better to come than to come by! Have a meal together," said Goro Inoue.

Cao Ning was not polite either. He was hungry and started eating.

The table of vegetarian dishes made Cao Ning very happy.

Inoue Goro is also very happy and doesn’t have to eat meat.

Rub the jelly with potatoes, and he also sweated his head.

This place rarely eats meat. Even if you have money, it is difficult for you to buy meat to eat.

If you eat meat, you are responsible for the fact that there are many eyes staring around you, and then someone will come to check you.

After eating, Goro Inoue and Cao Ning came to a separate house.

"How is the situation?" Inoue Goro asked.

Cao Ning pretended to be very sad: "I went to the hospital to ask, and the person was rescued, but his ischia bone was broken."

Inoue Goro was stunned.

He couldn't imagine how to sit and walk after the ischia bone was broken?

I wonder what the general will feel after receiving this information?

Inoue Goro hurriedly took out the telegraph machine and sent a message to Sadashi Yoshikawa.

Sadasa Yoshikawa, who was far away in Shanghai, became jealous after receiving the telegram.

He hurriedly called the Army Hospital in Shanghai to ask if the ischium was broken and could be treated.

A doctor who returned from the United States said that as long as the surgery is done properly, 70% can be recovered. That is, you can walk and not exercise vigorously.

Yoshikawa asked with concern whether he could pass on the family line. The other party said yes.

So Yoshikawa was in a much better mood, so he sent a message to Inoue Goro, asking him to take the principal back.

Cao Ning told the doctor in Yan'an that patients cannot walk, they can only walk lying down. Moreover, there must be medicine along the way.

Yoshikawa ordered Cao Ning to bring the person to Linfen. At that time, he would first treat him temporarily in Linfen, and then use a plane to take the principal back to Shanghai.

Yoshikawa asked Cao Ning to discuss with his friend in Changsha and asked him to come forward to persuade his friend in Yan'an to transport the Director of Yoshikawa out of Yan'an.

After receiving Yoshikawa's order, Cao Ning and Inoue Goro smoked a pack of cigarettes, and then came up with a solution. The solution was to speak to Li Ming and ask him to do a favor.

Afterwards, the two divided the work and agreed on a way to contact each other.

Inoue Goro is responsible for the matter here.

Afterwards, Cao Ning sent a telegram to Li Ming and told him about his request.

Unexpectedly, Li Ming agreed readily.

This made Inoue Goro very happy and took another step towards victory.

With a happy mood, Inoue Goro took the people on the way.

And Cao Ning also rode back to Yan'an...
Chapter completed!
