Chapter 263: National Army Shock and Jealousy
Old Yan turned around and said nothing more. He handed the telegram to the deputy commander and asked him to take a good look at what it said.
"If you want to see it, go and see it yourself. I believe that even if you were to face such news, you would still feel incredible."
"I never thought that the Communist army could actually accomplish this almost impossible task."
"I can only say that the boy is indeed a monster. It's a pity that he can't be used by our army."
When Old Yan said this, his mouth was full of regret and his face was full of confusion.
"Tell me, why didn't Wang Lin choose to join the Nationalist Army, where there are better prospects for development and even more abundant resources, rather than joining the Communist Army, which is a hopeless place."
The adjutant beside him also hurriedly smiled. Of course, he knew what his commander Yan was thinking.
But even so, Wang Lin could not hear what Commander Yan said.
Commander Yan was very kind, but Wang Lin didn't know how to appreciate it. We can only blame Wang Lin for not knowing the real man.
The adjutant would not ask any more questions at this moment, because Commander Yan's mental state seemed to be really hit, so he had no choice but to pick up the telegram and read it carefully.
"Commander Yan, this, this is impossible."
The adjutant's face was full of disbelief at this moment, because he really couldn't understand why.
Why was the Communist army able to capture Linshi in western Shanxi so quickly in such a short period of time?
"Okay, don't think too much about it. This is the fact. It doesn't matter how powerful the Communist army is now."
"Making a fuss out of nothing will only boost others' morale and undermine your own prestige. Our national army is not yet that weak."
"Let's pass this message on now. We must let all the surrounding troops know about this. Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. We should be united in facing the outside world."
"This is a very good sign. I believe our morale will be greatly boosted. I'm afraid this is also bad news for the Japanese."
Instead of comparing the Japanese army with the Communist army, Old Yan should think carefully about the current situation of the Japanese army.
After such a short period of time, a city was captured. This must be even more unbelievable to them than to our own national army.
Moreover, they had agreed with the Communist Army that when they took over those territories in southern Shanxi, they would give the Communist Army one city, and the rest would belong to the National Army.
Thinking of this, Old Yan's mood suddenly became clear and he felt a lot more relaxed.
......
At the same time, other positions received news about the front line from Lao Yan almost at the same time.
The Eighth Route Army has successfully captured Linshi in western Shanxi in a short period of time. This is exciting news for many brothers, and of course it is even more unbelievable for those who are commanding on the front line.
They also showed the same expressions as Lao Yan, and said frankly that they could not believe that this was something the Communist army could do.
"Are the Eighth Route Army monsters? How could they capture Lin City so quickly?"
"The gap between the two sides is so huge. You have to know that the Japanese have nearly 10,000 soldiers stationed in Lin City."
"With an entire regiment of Japanese soldiers and three to four thousand puppet troops, it's hard to imagine how the Eighth Route Army managed to capture Linshi."
"They're truly worthy of being the Eighth Route Army! Everything they do astonishes us. Can our national army do the same?"
"Who is this commander? Oh my God, he's not even human, he's a monster!"
All parties on the National Army side were shocked. They had never expected this.
The Eighth Route Army, whom they had always looked down upon, was actually able to complete this operation more quickly than them. You have to know that many of them had a lot of prejudices against the Communist Army.
They believed that even if the Eighth Route Army fought for a long time, they would not be able to capture Linshi, and might even run out of ammunition and food, and then ask the National Army for help.
When the time comes, the National Army will come to support them, and they can even use this as an excuse to propose extremely unequal conditions to force the Eighth Route Army to compromise. In any case, they will not be allowed to have an easy time.
So in this situation, they did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would be able to take over Linshi so quickly.
In other words, the scene they imagined was completely shattered before it even happened.
But now the fact has happened and it is an irreversible situation, so they should think more about these issues now.
That is to find fault with the Eighth Route Army. In short, they absolutely do not want the Eighth Route Army to gain a good reputation so easily.
At least the copywriting department should praise their national army more when writing articles.
Even the slogan has been thought of.
Take the Eighth Route Army's action as an example. It has an inseparable connection with the National Army. Only in this way can it be called sound.
The Eighth Route Army was able to successfully capture the city thanks to our National Army.
……
Compared with the National Army, the Japanese Army was more anxious.
Because this time it was not only the National Army that was slapped in the face, but also the Japanese Army.
Xiao Ri tried every possible means but never imagined that, with the most advantageous terrain, sufficient equipment and manpower, a whole regiment of soldiers, plus three or four thousand Imperial Army soldiers, how could they not be able to defend even a nearby city?
"What? You mean those Imperial Japanese troops in Lin City were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army?"
The Japanese brigade commanders and division commanders were gathered together at this moment to discuss the next strategy for holding on to southern Shanxi.
They never expected that the Communist army would be able to wipe out the troops of the Imperial Japanese Army, which they were proud of, in a very short period of time.
When the news about the fall of Lin City reached their ears, they no longer cared about the previous discussion. They were instantly furious and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"How is that possible? No matter how powerful the Communist army is, it's impossible for them to completely capture a city in such a short time."
"You should know that lying about military intelligence is a capital crime. The soldiers of the Empire of Japan are incomparably brave, and each of them fights for the ideals of the Emperor of Japan. How could they be wiped out so easily by the Communist army?"
"Have you guys figured it out? If I find out you've lied about military intelligence, I'll just commit seppuku."
The Xiao Rizi division commander took the initiative to grab the messenger by the collar, and then yelled at him fiercely.
It seemed as if in his eyes, it was unbelievable that the Imperial Japanese Army would be lost. That was a well-equipped regiment of soldiers, and the Imperial Army of nearly three to four thousand people jointly defended Linshi!
And it was a defensive battle, not an ambush outside.
How can it be? How can it be?
