    Around us, there are a large number of regular troops of the Eighth Route Army and scattered guerrillas.  If we cooperate with the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army, or even ask for help from our brothers in the National Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, then this battle is actually not that difficult to fight.  "

    "The Eighth Route Army?" Hao Shiwen frowned, and then whispered: "Are they willing to help us? Although it is said that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating now, you also know what the superiors mean."

    Xia Yang said: "Don't worry, they will definitely help us. As for Zhongtiao Mountain"

    Xia Yang was a little worried about the side of Zhongtiao Mountain. After all, although there were more than 100,000 national troops gathered there, the upper-level commanders had complex factions and unified headquarters. Fighting was basically commonplace.

    It is precisely because of this that the national army failed in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain a few years later.  Moreover, it was a terrible defeat with a high battle loss ratio.

    "The factions on Zhongtiao Mountain are complicated. I'm afraid you need to mention it to Commander-in-Chief Li and the Chairman," Hao Shiwen said.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "They must be used to mobilize the national troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, but I am worried that even if the orders issued by the Chairman of the Standing Committee are issued, they will not implement them. Many of those generals are thinking about what to do.  It may not be that simple to preserve our strength and let them support us."

    Hao Shiwen said: "Then then I will go and try my best to convince them. Even sending out a division of troops can relieve us a lot of pressure."

    Xia Yang pondered for a while, and then said: "No, you are not worthy enough, I will go in person." At this point, he smiled bitterly and said: "But, I'm afraid if I go in person, I will be worthless in the eyes of those people.  It¡¯s worth it.¡±

    Having said this, he thought for a while and then said to Hao Shiwen: "In the warehouse, aren't there a lot of gold and silver jewelry that we seized from the Japanese army? We picked out some good ones, maybe they can be used when going to Zhongtiao Mountain.  "

    Hao Shiwen nodded and said, "Are you going to bribe them?"

    ??

    Hao Shiwen said: "That's true, then I'll prepare now."

    They are hundreds of miles away from Zhongtiao Mountain, but the Japanese army's blockade of Taibai Mountain is not as strict as that of Wutai Mountain. It is not too difficult for them to go south to Zhongtiao Mountain.

    However, what Xia Yang and the others need to be wary of is that they may encounter a Japanese blockade when going to Zhongtiao Mountain.

    Because since 1938, when more than 100,000 Chinese troops entered Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army mobilized several divisions to blockade Zhongtiao Mountain for a long time.

    And they also planned multiple attacks on Zhongtiao Mountain. Until the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain broke out, they launched thirteen attacks on Zhongtiao Mountain, but they all ended in failure.

    At this time, the troops stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area were basically dominated by the Central Army, and there were also many forces from the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army.

    This area is under the jurisdiction of Wei Lihuang, commander-in-chief of the First War Zone, and the permanent troops include the Fifth Group Army and the Fourteenth Group Army.  There are several other troops that are often transferred out and are not permanently stationed here.  However, roughly speaking, there are about 200,000 permanent troops stationed in the area.

    The commander-in-chief of the first theater is none other than Wei Lihuang.  This man is also a famous patriotic general. His masterpiece during the Anti-Japanese War was the famous Battle of Xinkou, as well as a series of famous battles such as the defeat of Yingji Okamura to regain Zhengzhou, and the counterattack in northern Myanmar and western Yunnan, etc., all came from  His hand.

    ??Historically speaking, this man can be regarded as a very patriotic general among the top generals of the national army.  Later, he was put under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek for a long time because he was pro-communist.

    It was precisely because of the existence of General Wei that Xia Yang had the confidence to visit Zhongtiao Mountain.  If it were anyone else, Xia Yang might not even bother to run.

    Three days later, they had reached the outskirts of Zhongtiao Mountain.

    After passing through three Japanese blockades, Xia Yang successfully entered the interior of Zhongtiao Mountain after spending money to hire a local guide.

    Before coming to Zhongtiao Mountain, Xia Yang had already explained the purpose of coming to Zhongtiao Mountain through Commander Li.  Commander-in-Chief Li said that he would try his best to make arrangements, but at the same time, he also asked Xia Yang to be mentally prepared.

    Xia Yang also knows that the internal forces in Zhongtiao Mountain are complicated, and it is really unknown whether he can obtain the support of these troops.  ButEven so, he still wanted to come over and give it a try.

    Because there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhongtiao Mountain at this time, once dispatched to support operations in central Shanxi and southern Shanxi, they can very effectively contain the Japanese army.

    Arriving at Zhongtiao Mountain, Xia Yang was a little surprised, because the place was not as heavily guarded as he had imagined.  Even in Xia Yang's opinion, the outer sentries, fortifications, and corresponding patrol personnel were too few and too lax.

    After they entered Zhongtiao Mountain for half a day, they arrived at a small town in the mountain.

    Although it is in a war zone, this town is very prosperous.  This surprised Xia Yang.

    On the streets of the town, you can see some national soldiers in military uniforms walking on the streets with rifles on their backs.  On both sides of the street, you can also see many stalls and shops, and Xia Yang even saw two casinos.

    "Shi Zhijie, where is that place?" Xia Yang asked the paid guide.

    Shi Zhijie is a typical Shanxi man, with dark skin and big yellow teeth. He obviously doesn¡¯t know what a toothbrush and toothpaste are.  Xia Yang gave him a silver dollar, and he readily agreed and took Xia Yang to the interior of Zhongtiao Mountain.

    They encountered almost no questioning or inspection along the way. Xia Yang thought to himself at that time, if he was a spy for the Japanese army.  Then if you spend a silver dollar to find a guide, wouldn't it be very easy to sneak into Zhongtiao Mountain and collect intelligence?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
