"If we lose, I, Chen Ergou, will take the blame for you! If we win, the whole of Shanxi is ours!"
"Do you have confidence?"
"have!!!"
Inspired by Lin Feng, the generals of the North China Field Army were all eager to try their skills.
"Check the watch—!!!"
The division commanders simultaneously opened their pocket watches.
"August 9th, 1930, at 3:30 PM!"
"August 9th, 1930, at 3:30 PM!!"
"August 9th, 1930, at 3:30 PM!!!"
"Three, two, one!"
"Time synchronization complete!!!!!"
"Smack!"
The division commanders, deputy division commanders, political commissars, and chiefs of staff all raised their right hands high.
"On August 10th, 1930, at 8 PM, the operation officially began, codenamed 'Raid on Shanxi'!"
"Invade Shanxi!"
"Invade Shanxi!!"
"Invade Shanxi!!!"

At the 129th Division headquarters, the division commander frowned as he looked at the battle plan. After a long while, he finally said, "Political Commissar, what do you think of the 'Operational Order' issued by headquarters this time?"
The political commissar put down the telegram in his hand: "Division Commander, this time the 'Campaign Operation Order' issued by the headquarters is quite significant. In addition to our 129th Division, the 120th Division, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, and even Chen Ergou's North China Field Army have been mobilized."
The division commander lit a cigarette and took a deep drag: "However, for the time being, our division's mission is not too difficult. The main focus is on sabotaging the railway line between Yangquan and Zhangjing and attacking the highways around the base area."
"Compared to the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the 120th Division, we are really much more relaxed!"
"Heh!" The division commander shook his head: "Political Commissar, you're wrong!"
"Oh? Where did I go wrong?" the political commissar asked, puzzled.
"I heard that the 'Operational Order' formulated by headquarters is divided into three phases. Although the first phase of our 129th Division's mission is not difficult, we will be in great danger next."
The political commissar was stunned: "That serious?"
The division commander nodded: "Of course, if the first phase can be completed on schedule, then the second and third phases will require us to go all out to carry them out, because the number of soldiers involved in these two phases is too large."
"So, headquarters is determined to give the Japanese a crushing defeat this time?"
The division commander smiled but didn't say anything, but his face revealed a confident expression.
He knew that a large-scale sabotage operation was about to unfold in Jinzhong in the near future.
And he, this battle-hardened commander, will write an immortal legend on the land of Jinzhong with his extraordinary courage and outstanding military command skills.
"Political Commissar, my right eyelid has been twitching lately, and I have a feeling that something big is about to happen."
"Commander, you mean...?"
The political commissar's expression changed slightly.
"That's right."
The division commander nodded: "Chen Ergou's North China Field Army, that kid has never been easy to deal with. When he was in the militia, he dared to fight against a Japanese brigade. He formed an independent regiment and even incorporated the 66th Division of the Jin-Sui Army. He also wiped out all the friendly forces around him."
"This time, the headquarters has arranged for the North China Field Army to cooperate with the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. I think this kid will definitely not carry out the plan obediently."
After pondering for a while, the political commissar said, "Commander, I agree with your opinion. This Er Gou is a troublemaker."
"However, I think Chen Ergou should still have a certain sense of proportion when it comes to important matters."
The division commander shook his head and said nothing more.
If Chen Ergou had any sense of propriety, would I need to worry so much?
