    Looking at his cousin's retreating figure, Commander Yan couldn't help but shook his head.

    In folklore, whenever it comes to him, Marshal Yan, Yan Xishan, the fifth sister is always described as "Five Sisters" or "Five Girls", describing her as a strong figure who participated in military and political affairs, controlled the political situation in Shanxi behind the scenes, and obeyed Yan Xishan's words.

    In fact, Yan Xishan knew very well that his little sister was just his nanny. Her knowledge of military and political matters and her iron-fisted methods were just random speculations.

    Fifth sister is the daughter of his uncle Yan Shudian. She is Yan Xishan's cousin in terms of seniority, but she is 27 years younger than Yan Xishan. Because she is the fifth in the family, Yan Xishan always calls her fifth sister.

    Before he became successful, the entire Yan family could only be regarded as a run-down squire family. His uncle's family only had 20 to 30 acres of thin farmland, and his uncle Yan Shudian had been working as a clerk in a store for a long time, so Wu Meizi's family did not live a prosperous life.

    When she was 19 years old, her uncle arranged for her to marry a cotton mill manager named Qu Peihuan who had studied in Japan.

    Fifth sister was not satisfied with Qu Peihuan and felt that he was not good-looking. However, her parents insisted repeatedly that fifth sister entered the Qu family.

    But less than two years after their marriage, her husband Qu Peihuan became addicted to cigarettes and took pleasure in smoking all day long.

    Qu Peihuan once asked the fifth sister to find another family to remarry. The fifth sister informed the old man of the Yan family about this, but the latter did not agree. It was not until Qu Peihuan died of illness that the fifth sister was able to return to her natal family.

    As a cousin, Yan Xishan sympathizes with his sister's plight and wants to find a good family for her.  At this time, a coal merchant named Liang wanted to curry favor with him, so he proposed the idea of ??letting his son Liang Yanwu marry the "Fifth Girl" and the Fifth Sister.

    But Liang Yanwu himself didn¡¯t like the fifth sister, who was of medium height and had a few pockmarks on her face.

    " And Liang Yanwu himself was not willing. He had studied abroad and had never been married before. Marrying an ordinary-looking widow was really forced.

    But due to his father's insistence, Liang Yanwu had no choice but to marry his fifth sister, and this "political marriage" began.

    After marriage, their lives were not happy. Fifth sister did not care about her husband's displeasure, and turned the focus of her life to taking care of her cousin.

    "Compared to outsiders, Wu Meizi is better at observing words and expressions. She serves him very attentively and often tells him about the customs and customs of her hometown.  At the same time, she was in charge of the food for him, the King of Shanxi, and often asked the kitchen to make hometown-style dishes.

    Even when he was sleeping, she was responsible for tucking him in, beating his back, and turning off the lights only when he fell asleep, so Yan Xishan also loved this girl very much.

    After the second wife of the Yan family passed away due to illness, the fifth sister became the real "mistress" of the Yan family. Over the years, they have weathered many crises together.

    Because of this, he also took care of the girls in some matters this year, so there is a saying that as long as the "fifth girl" nods, there is nothing that cannot be done in Shanxi.

    But in fact, Fifth Sister knew almost nothing about military affairs, otherwise she would not have asked such stupid questions just now.

    Compared with other places, Shanxi is still too closed after all, so it is difficult for someone to occupy Shanxi, but once a firm foothold is established, it is difficult to be kicked out.

    I think he was able to lead the Shanxi Uprising and become the governor of Shanxi at a young age, precisely because of the closed environment here.

    During the years when he ruled Shanxi, he also took advantage of the isolation here to forcibly turn Shanxi into the province with the most advanced industry and the best public security in China at that time. Shanxi was also known as a model province in the Republic of China.

    However, as the saying goes, "Succeed with Xiao He, defeat with Xiao He", while he was fully and effectively operating Shanxi, the environment here also restricted the development of the department, which showed that he was more than successful in defense and insufficient in offense.

    Throughout the Republic of China, his Jinsui Army almost never set foot outside Shanxi and Suiyuan. Although after the victory of the Northern Expedition, the Jinsui Army briefly brought Pingjin, Hebei and other areas under its control, but soon, in the Central Plains War,  After a complete defeat, it once again retreated to Shanxi Province and Suiyuan Province.

    Shanxi Province, located in a strategic location in North China, is naturally coveted by other warlords. Therefore, there are many times when the well-equipped Jinsui Army actively or passively waits and participates in melees with warlords.

    The Jin-Sui Army fought against almost all the major forces in the Republic of China at that time, including the Zhili Clan, Feng Clan, Anhui Clique, Feng Yuxiang, and Chiang Kai-shek. As for the small warlords, there were countless small warlords. However, the Jin-Sui Army often lost more than it won.  Of course, the Jin-Sui army, which was good at defending, was defeated but survived, and few warlord troops were able to invade Shanxi.

    Yan Xishan knew this very well, so when the Japanese army was about to attack Shanxi, he feltAlthough I am worried, I am not particularly afraid.

    But what he didn't expect was that the performance of the Chinese army at the beginning of the war was so poor that it really made people blush. Although there were many heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, such as Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, etc.  .  But generally speaking, the performance of the Chinese army can only be described as unsatisfactory. The Japanese army easily defeated Song Zheyuan's troops in the Pingjin battle, and then marched to Shanxi.

    Yan Xishan¡¯s original plan was to hold the Battle of Datong in northern Shanxi, but it failed and the 61st Army was crippled.

    In addition, Yan Xishan had another layer of luck in his heart. Originally, the old man planned to rely on his studying abroad in Japan and his relationship with Seishiro Itagaki and others as classmates, hoping to preserve his territory in Shanxi Province and be able to do that under the circumstances.  Complete egg.

    It's a pity that the Japanese didn't give him face. Nearly 100,000 puppet troops gathered in Tianzhen and attacked the gateway to northern Shanxi. At the same time, his old classmate Seishiro Itagaki's Fifth Division went south to capture Yuxian County, and then went to Guangling and Lingling.  Qiu, directly invaded the hinterland of Shanxi.

    Although he is still the king of Shanxi in name, in fact, the Jinsui Army basically only controls a few counties in Shanxi near Shaanxi, and has lost control of Shanxi.

    Because of this, although we received an order from Chongqing to cooperate with the Jiujiu Army in counterattacking Shanxi a few days ago, the troops in the World War II zone were making noise but not raining. In name, they were gathering, but in fact they were delaying time.

    ???????????????????? But Li Guoyao¡¯s troops suddenly came to ancient times and caught Yan Xishan by surprise. Once the Ninth Army captured Taiyuan, it would definitely not be a good thing for the World War II zone.

    Because Taiyuan is under the control of the Japanese, Yan Xishan will have a chance to take it back as long as he has enough strength. Because he has a good reputation, no matter he loses or wins, the Chinese people will only praise him, because he is fighting against Japan.

    But once Taiyuan City was captured by Li Guoyao's troops, even if he had millions of soldiers, he could not attack Taiyuan City. After all, it was a civil war and he would be despised.

    Therefore, the only way now is to arrive in Taiyuan before Li Guoyao's troops. Let's not talk about whether to capture Taiyuan City before Li Guoyao's troops. As long as Li Guoyao's troops attack the city, the Jinsui Army also has troops to participate.  There is also reason to negotiate with the Jiujiu Army to return to Taiyuan.

    What's more, the level of the Japanese army in this battle is really puzzling. They were beaten outside Taiyuan City by Li Guoyao's troops, looking like they were strong on the outside but hard on the inside. This made Yan Laoxi have to doubt the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

    So he decided to immediately follow the instructions from Chongqing and counterattack Shanxi!

    Soon, under the command of Yan Laoxi, more than 30,000 leading troops in the World War II area immediately came out of Yuntai Mountain and Pu County to launch an attack on Linfen, while the other troops attacked Luliang from Shilou, Jiaokou, and Yang County.

    In addition, under Yan Xishan's order, more than 15,000 cavalrymen under Zhao Chengshou immediately gathered, and then headed north from Yonghe to attack Taiyuan.

    At the same time, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was also frightened by the rapid actions of Li Guoyao's troops. When they learned that the main force of Li Guoyao's troops had arrived in Taiyuan City, the Eighth Route Army headquarters immediately made a decision to dispatch the main force to temporarily support the Ninth Army.  .

    First, the 120th Division launched a full-scale counterattack in northwest Shanxi. Its 100,000 troops launched an attack on seven counties in northwest Shanxi in an effort to annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops in northwest Shanxi.

    At the same time, troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 120th Division launched attacks on the Zhengtai Line and Yuncheng, Jincheng and other places in southeastern Shanxi. On the one hand, they were to contain the Japanese and puppet troops in the area, and on the other hand, they were taking this opportunity to expand the occupied area.

    As the World War II Zone and the Eighth Route Army all entered the battle, in an instant, the entire Shanxi battlefield was filled with smoke, and the few Japanese and puppet troops in the territory instantly fell into a state of complete passivity.
