Deep in the Taihang Mountains, Matian Town, and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Today's staff members feel that they are unheard of busyness. All radio stations are also very busy.

All the radio operators are working overtime. They send and receive newspapers, and the room is filled with the sound of pencil writing.

All the radio stations are powered on, and countless signals are flashing.

In the next battle room, next to the map and sand table, several big shots were there.

"I really don't understand." The deputy commander-in-chief frowned, "What exactly are the Japanese going to do?"

"I can't understand either!" Deputy Chief of Staff left shook his head slowly, "It seems that he is going to give up sweeping?"

"There is such a possibility." The teacher said cautiously, "They have suffered heavy losses recently and suffered heavy losses. It is possible to end the sweep, go back to rest and replenish, and look for opportunities."

"But, it's a bit strange," said Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo. "Other places report that the Japanese stations are very busy and are deploying troops in large numbers! Where are they going to attack?"

Because there was no radio station, Yang Yue and others had not had time to report the battle in Sifangtian Village.

The 31st Regiment of the Ji Nan Military Region is currently only the third battalion involved in the battle. The company headquarters is not clear about the situation here. The Ji Nan Military Region is naturally even more unclear.

The southern Hebei Military Region is not clear, and the 129th Division and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters are naturally not clear.

No wonder they are confused. Communication is not good!

This would not be the case if there were more radio stations.

Unfortunately, no...

The frequent mobilization of the Japanese army was obviously making big moves.

If the Japanese army's attempts cannot be judged in time, they will be very passive in the subsequent battle...

"Report! Call from Yan'an!" Suddenly, a staff officer rushed over.

Deputy Chief of Staff left to take it.

His face quickly became serious.

“What’s the situation?”

"Shocked the Chairman."

"What's going on?"

"Yan'an asked us if there were any big moves on the Pinghan Line."

"Pinghan Line?"

Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on this artery.

Each of them is familiar with this railway line. It is okay to say it is a major artery, and it is okay to say it is a noose.

Even, it can be said that it is a knife.

A sharp knife cutting into the depths of North China.

The anti-Japanese armed forces in North China were held tightly by this knife and kept bleeding.

The Japanese devils used this knife to continuously expand around. For the time being, this Pinghan line is the biggest accomplice of the devils. None of them.

The Eighth Route Army wanted to smash the knife.

The Japanese army hoped that the knife would become sharper.

"How is the situation where Li Yunlong?" the deputy commander-in-chief suddenly asked.

"Just just reported that the enemy had completely stopped attacking and showed signs of retreating." The left deputy chief of staff replied.

The deputy commander-in-chief nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the enemy really wants to retreat.

With Li Yunlong's temperament, he would definitely beat the Japanese to scream. If the situation was not very special, the Japanese army would definitely not be willing to retreat.

The question is, where are the Japanese in these two regiments going to retreat?

Retreat east?

Or retreat westward?

Are you planning to enter Luyang and reinforce the 36th Division in Luyang, or directly withdraw to Linfen's nest?

The situation is particularly strange now. The Japanese in other directions have no movement. But there is war everywhere in the southeastern Jin and there are Japanese everywhere. The Eighth Route Army is in the southeastern Jin and there is only one 386th Brigade!

If there is really any war here, it should have been caused by the 386th Brigade.

The problem is, Li Yunlong is in Longwan!

Apart from Li Yunlong, who else likes to cause trouble?

If you make such a big noise, it turns out that you can jump around even more than Li Yunlong...

"Report!"

Suddenly, another adviser arrived.

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo received the telegram and his face looked a little strange.

"What? It's not that call from Chongqing, right?"

"No. It's Tang Enbo from Henan."

"he?"

The deputy commander-in-chief was a little surprised.

Tang Enbo and the Eighth Route Army seemed to have no intersection.

This guy is just a bucket. Whenever he fights with the Japanese army, he always retreats without fighting.

To be honest, if Li Zongren had the authority, he would have sent this guy to the military court long ago. In Taierzhuang, Tang Enbo almost had a bad thing.

Later, when he was guarding Kaifeng, this guy retreated without fighting and left the blame to others. Because of the protection of Mr. Jiang, he became more and more important.

"What did he say?"

"He and Jiang Dingwen jointly asked if we had a large number of Japanese troops heading south and whether we were going to attack Zhengzhou and Luoyang."

"Ha, they're nervous."

Everyone was silently looking at the map.

No wonder Tang Enbo and Jiang Dingwen were both nervous.

Indeed, when the Japanese army marched south from Shijiazhuang, the first thing that was to be hit was Henan, where the Pinghan Line passed!

Previously, in order to prevent the Japanese army from moving south, the national army blew up the Yellow River Railway Bridge. The Pinghan Line was interrupted. However, the Japanese army moved very quickly and occupied a bridgehead on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Although the national army continued to launch counterattacks, trying to clear the Japanese bridgehead. However, the Japanese army's fighting will was very tenacious, but they did not retreat.

Until now, the Japanese army still firmly controls this bridgehead and can launch an attack south at any time.

The Central Plains are also without any dangers to defend. If the Japanese army march south in large numbers...

"Call back! We are not very clear about the intentions of the Japanese army." The deputy commander-in-chief said coldly.

"I'll add a little bit." The division commander interrupted slowly, "But our army will wait for an opportunity to break the Pinghan Line and block the enemy from moving south as much as possible."

"Yes! That's it!" said the deputy commander-in-chief, "We do our best..."

Suddenly I saw a staff officer protruding his head at the door.

Deputy Chief of Staff at Left waved and signaled that the staff could come in.

The staff report said: "We have cracked the enemy's telegram. A large-scale battle took place south of Anyang on the Pinghan Line."

The deputy commander-in-chief hurriedly checked the map, "South of Anyang?"

He asked immediately: "What troops do we have south of Anyang? How many troops do we have?"

"Only the newly established 31st Regiment of the Southern Hebei Military Region was established after Ding Wei took away the 28th Regiment." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo replied, "The combat effectiveness has not yet been formed."

"A new troupe can't make such a big move." said the deputy commander-in-chief. "Following the Japanese's deployment, I thought there was a division there!"

"Boss, you are joking again." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said with a smile, "Our troops in southern Hebei are at most 10,000. It is impossible for them to concentrate all of them. If they were their overall deployment and command, Comrade Xiaoping would definitely report it. I guess it is impossible for the Jinan Military Region to take the initiative to take the offensive now. They have just smashed the Japanese encirclement and suppression, and the troops will need some time to rest."

The deputy commander-in-chief pondered for a moment and said, "Let's ask the 386th Brigade to see if they know."

"Okay." Deputy Chief of Staff left turned around and went.
