Volume 1 Chapter 026 Eye-Catching
"The Communist Army..." Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "They are flexible in tactics, tenacious in combat, and daring to fight, but..."
Yan Xishan heard Chu Yunfei constantly speaking well of the Eighth Route Army.
His face changed drastically.
I knew this guy was secretly in contact with the Eighth Route Army.
Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence every time.
They all cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to defeat the Japanese.
Yang Aiyuan's face also darkened.
Finished!
Now Chu Yunfei will never have a chance to rise in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Just when everyone was looking at Chu Yunfei coldly.
Chu Yunfei, who had been speaking well at the beginning, changed his tone and said, "The Communist army's desperate spirit is worthy of admiration, but it won't work just by talking and fighting. Strength determines everything! They are poor and have no other advantages except for their courage to fight and fight. It feels a bit like the Northwest Army back then. They look very motivated , but as long as their supply lines are cut off, they will be like a tree without roots. The more they fight, the fewer they will have, and in the end, those poor devils under their command will not be able to bear it and will fall apart! As long as the commander-in-chief resolutely implements the isolation tactics, the Communist army will not be able to jump up. Compared with the Communist army, we should be more concerned about the National Government and Chiang Kai-shek!"
Chu Yunfei actually dared to make friends with the Communist Army, which Yan Xishan could not tolerate.
He was determined to put Chu Yunfei on ice.
But after hearing Chu Yunfei's firm conclusion that the Communist army would definitely be defeated.
They even used the Northwest Army as an example.
Yan Xishan was shocked.
this… …
What Chu Yunfei said makes sense!
How powerful the Northwest Army was back then!
They even dared to resist the Japanese army and defeated the arrogant Kwantung Army at Xifengkou of the Great Wall.
At that time, the Central Army was no match for the Northwest Army and suffered defeat after defeat.
But so what.
Chiang Kai-shek spent money to directly divide the Northwest Army.
The Northwest Army never recovered from this setback and Feng Yuxiang was forced to step down!
The Communist army now seems to be very powerful and capable of fighting.
They are just a bunch of poor country bumpkins.
As long as you are willing to spend money, just like Chiang Kai-shek did, I believe you can't buy off and divide the Communist army.
This Chu Yunfei is a good candidate, and it is rare to have such a sharp vision.
He is indeed worthy of being from Mount Wutai in Shanxi.
Smart and capable!
like me!
Yan Xishan, who had just disliked Chu Yunfei, was immediately reminded of the Communist army's biggest weakness when he heard him speak.
He now looks at Chu Yunfei completely differently.
The more I look at it, the better it looks.
As for the previous conclusion that Chu Yunfei was colluding with the Communist army, or that Chu Yunfei was loyal to the Communist army, that was a joke.
They all believed that the Communist army would not be able to achieve anything.
How could he defect to the Communist Army?
How can you continue to move forward if you know there is an abyss ahead?
A smart person like Chu Yunfei would never be so stupid.
He has connections with the Communist Army and I'm afraid he's planning to use the Communist Army.
Just like the last time they attacked the Sakata Regiment, they took advantage of the fierce battle between the Communist and Japanese armies and rushed out.
It not only caused heavy casualties to the Communist army, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
A very clever tactic!
Yan Xishan was very satisfied with Chu Yunfei's eye-catchingness.
Hearing him say that the biggest enemy of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan asked curiously.
"Japan is currently planning to swallow up our territory in one gulp. Why do you think Chiang Kai-shek is our biggest enemy? Tell me your reasons!"
Chu Yunfei knew that whether he could fool Yan Xishan depended on this time.
"Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese army is now in a strong momentum, and it seems like a tiger swallowing up the world. But as the saying goes, a spent crossbow cannot penetrate a thin silk cloth! Now is the time when the Japanese army is at its strongest, but it is also the time when they are declining!"
Sun Chu heard this and asked curiously, "What is your basis for judging that the Japanese army will be in decline?"
In addition to wanting the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to reduce its hostility towards the Eighth Route Army, Chu Yunfei also had another purpose, which was to leave a deep impression on the senior leaders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Let them rely on themselves more.
In this way, I can climb up faster and control more troops.
Better achieve your goals.
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "The Japanese army boasted that they could annex China in three months. But now it has been several months. In order to guard against the Soviet Union and invade China at the same time, the Japanese army has repeatedly expanded its army, and military expenditures account for the majority. But after our hard work, the materials plundered by the Japanese army from China are far less than planned, and it can be said that the income is not enough to cover the expenditure. Of course, the most important thing is oil.
This is the age of oil, the age of energy.
Without oil, all military strength is just a mirage.
In order to obtain oil and support the consumption of the Japanese navy, Japan will inevitably attack Indonesia and even the Philippines in the south. This will certainly infringe on the interests of the United States!
The United States has sufficient economic strength. However, their military strength is not comparable to their economic strength. Politics is an extension of economics, and military is an extension of politics. The United States wants to replace Britain and become the world hegemon. It will definitely not allow the Japanese army to completely control China and become a Pacific power, threatening the interests of the United States in the Pacific!
Once Japan and the United States become enemies, it means that the Japanese army will have to fight on two fronts.
Just imagine that if we hold back the Japanese army and the United States fights the Japanese navy, how can Japan win! So I predict that within five years, the Japanese army will be defeated and our army will win! "
Yan Xishan was still thinking about what Chu Yunfei said, and Sun Chu, who was always smart, clapped his hands and cheered. "Very insightful! It seems that Colonel Chu is not only good at tactics, but also has a first-class strategic vision. He is indeed a talent! Congratulations to Commander Yan, with such a great talent, Shanxi will have no worries!"
When Yang Aiyuen heard that Sun Chu, who was always arrogant, actually praised Chu Yunfei so much, he knew that Sun Chu agreed with Chu Yunfei's point of view.
When Yan Xishan heard Chu Yunfei's conclusion that the Japanese army would be defeated within five years, the mountain that had been weighing heavily on his heart suddenly collapsed.
He immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Once the Japanese army is defeated, Chiang Kai-shek will indeed be a serious threat. My dear nephew Yunfei, how do you think our army should deal with it?"
Chu Yunfei immediately proposed the strategy he had been thinking about for many days. "Once Japan is defeated, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely try his best to eradicate the local warlords. The first is the Communist Army, then the Gui Army and our Jinsui Army! Therefore, I believe that the Communist Army cannot be defeated, at least before our army seizes Shandong, Jingtang, and Northeast China. The Communist Army cannot be destroyed. As long as the Communist Army exists, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely focus on the Communist Army first, and then our turn. Therefore, I believe that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the top priority is to drive the Communist Army out of Shanxi and let the Communist Army fight to the death with the Central Army in Shaanxi and Henan. Our Sixth Group will capture Yanjin as soon as possible, and the Seventh Group Army will capture Shandong. Strangling the Central Army's road to the north. As long as the Taiyuan Arsenal and the Shenyang Arsenal are in hand, our army can be invincible, waiting for the Communist Army and the Central Army to be defeated, and then go south to seize the fruits of victory!"
Hearing Chu Yunfei's plan, Yan Xishan was overjoyed. He patted Chu Yunfei on the shoulder and said happily.
"Yun Fei is truly my Zi Fang! I, Yan Xishan, am so lucky to have Yun Fei here!"
Chu Yunfei bowed his head slightly and said, "Commander Yan, thank you for your praise. These are just some of my humble opinions! "
"Thank you for your hard work. Work hard, and I, Yan Xishan, will not treat you unfairly!"
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"
…
After Chu Yunfei left, Yan Xishan, who had originally been full of joy, regained his composure.
He turned his head to his trusted subordinate Yang Aiyuan and asked, "What do you think of Chu Yunfei?"
Yang Aiyuan shook his head and said, "Chu Yunfei, although he is a genius in tactics and strategy, he is a little too idealistic. We know these things, and so does Chiang Kai-shek! I'm afraid Chiang won't let us get what we want!"
Sun Chu also said: "After all, Chiang Kai-shek is the nominal leader of the country and the president of the Republic of China. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he will definitely steal the fruits of victory as soon as possible, and then confront the Communist Army!"
When Yan Xishan heard that his two subordinates were not optimistic about Chu Yunfei's plan, he frowned.
"Do you think Chu Yunfei is the same as Ma Su and Zhao Kuo?"
