I, Mr. Yan, am a businessman, and I am much better at doing business than the Eighth Route Army.

Yan Xishan also sent many intelligence officers to look for the legendary Boss Chen, but unfortunately, Yan Xishan now doesn't even know what Boss Chen looks like, let alone do business with Boss Chen.

"Commander, the Eighth Route Army has now acquired two territories in North China and the Central Plains. It is obvious that it aims to conquer the world."

"When the Eighth Route Army drives away the Japanese, we are afraid..."

Yang Aiyuan said with a worried tone.

"Why don't I know this?"

Yan Xishan sighed.

Everywhere the Red Army went, they attacked local tyrants and divided their fields, saying that the poor were the masters of the country.

Who are the biggest local tyrants and evil gentry in Shanxi?

Of course it's Yan Xishan. There will be a battle sooner or later between the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army.

When the Eighth Route Army showed signs of growing in the past two years, the national government allowed the Eighth Route Army to grow in order to contain the Japanese army in North China. The more Japanese troops were contained in North China, the less pressure there would be on the national army in other places.

However, the Eighth Route Army grew so fast that the Japanese and Chinese troops did not even react.

In just two or three years, the strength of the Eighth Route Army increased more than a hundred times.

By this time, by the time the Japanese and Chinese troops reacted, the Eighth Route Army had already become a threat.

The worst offender now is the Japanese army, but in the future the Chinese army may not be much stronger than the Japanese army.

Yang Aiyuan then said: "Commander, we have to make plans early."

Yan Xishan's eyes flashed slightly: "What do you mean..."

…

Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan were panicked, but there was someone even more panicked than the senior officials of the Jinsui Army, and that was Principal Chang in Shancheng.

After hearing the report from Defense Minister He Jingzhi, Principal Chang dropped the tea cup in front of him on the spot and cursed Niang Xipi.

Principal Chang was as afraid of the Eighth Route Army as he was of the Japanese army.

At most, the Japanese army occupied territory, and it was absolutely impossible for the people on those territories to sincerely turn to the Japanese army.

Even those puppet troops who defected to the Japanese army will definitely betray the Japanese army in an instant when the Japanese army fails in the future.

The Eighth Route Army occupied North China and the Central Plains, with more than 1 million square kilometers of land and a population of 100 million. It won't be long before these ordinary people will definitely turn to the Eighth Route Army.

This has been proven in the Eighth Route Army base areas in Jinggangshan, northern Shaanxi, southeastern Shanxi, northwestern Shanxi, and central and southern Hebei.

But Principal Chang had nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army.

Because the Eighth Route Army regained North China and destroyed the North China Front, Principal Chang could not find any fault.

As for joining forces with the Japanese army to attack the Eighth Route Army, Principal Chang would never dare.

Not to mention whether he can win or not, if he really does this, the national army will lose the support of the people in an instant.

Many patriotic generals will also fall to the side of the Eighth Route Army, and then I am afraid that the national army will soon fall apart.

Now the national army can only continue to request strong assistance from the United States to strengthen its strength.

When we compete with the Eighth Route Army for the world in the future, we will be able to fight.

But this is just Principal Chang's wishful thinking. Let alone the United States supporting the National Army, it can give it a try with the Eighth Route Army.

When that time comes, even if the American army comes in person, it will not be a match for the Eighth Route Army.

…

Xinxiang.

The headquarters of the Independent Brigade of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

After Chu Yunfei killed the puppet army Sun Liangcheng and his remaining troops, he led his troops south and regained Xinxiang County.

Today's new independent regiment brigade is equipped with 24 105mm howitzers and 72 American mountain cannons. Coupled with air support that can be called in at any time, the Japanese in Xinxiang only have one squadron of Japanese.

The Independence Brigade easily recaptured Xinxiang, as well as the important military town of Kaifeng, dozens of kilometers away, which was also recaptured by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

At present, the entire eastern Henan has become the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

But there are still troops from the National Army's First Theater Division in western Henan, including Jiang Dingwen and Tang Enbo.

However, there is a severe drought in Henan Province, and people from western Henan are pouring into eastern Henan in large numbers.

The power of large amounts of grain flowing into Henan Province is emerging.

"Deputy Head."

Fang Ligong walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand and said in an excited tone:

"The headquarters just sent out a nationwide telegram that our Eighth Route Army has recaptured North China and eliminated the main force of the North China Front."

"What did you say?"

Chu Yunfei was staring at the map when he heard this and turned around suddenly, walked over quickly and took the telegram from Fang Ligong.

Political Commissar Qin also came over. After reading the telegram, the two of them couldn't help but smile.

Chu Yunfei said with a heroic tone: "Well done, this is how you fight against the little devils, kill all these inhumane Japanese beasts!"

Sun Ming on the side also looked excited: "This battle can be regarded as a demonstration of our country's prestige. Our Eighth Route Army has let the devils know that our territory is not so easy to invade. The invaders must pay a heavy price. Recovering North China is just the beginning, and there will be more to come."

There is Northeast China, Central China and South China!”

Chu Yunfei nodded, his eyes shining with meaning.

After joining the Eighth Route Army, Chu Yunfei learned about the greatness of communism only after he came into contact with and studied the theory of communism in depth.

Of course, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles are also for China and the Chinese people.

Whether it is the Three People's Principles or communism, the starting point is to build a new China.

In the past, Chu Yunfei also believed that the Three People's Principles could save New China, but the actions of the national government chilled him.

The key is still a human problem. The government, from the commander-in-chief to the top officials, is rotten at its roots.

However, during this period, the Eighth Route Army was doing its best to provide disaster relief in Henan Province, but the government was indifferent. The Eighth Route Army successfully regained North China and eliminated the North China Front.

Let Chu Yunfei see that the Eighth Route Army can really build a new China.

Chu Yunfei's eyes narrowed.
