The picture is poor and can be seen.

"As expected, the Japanese army still has hidden military intentions. Lao Kong, it seems that our suspicion has come true. The little devils have spread suspicions. This is an attack on Xi'an and a sneak attack on Yan'an. Even battles broke out in the western Hubei region. It looks like

After all, they came for our Eighth Route Army.

If my guess is correct, the Japanese Kwantung Army may have secretly mobilized and sent reinforcements southward!"

After the news came that the Japanese army had dispatched armored troops on a large scale in the western Inner Mongolia area, Ding Wei immediately analyzed the changes in the situation.

Soon after.

In the Jidong and Shandong Military Regions, the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance troops also sent back news and found that there had been changes in the Japanese troops stationed there recently, with a large number of more well-equipped and uniform troops entering the city.

Preliminary judgment is that it is the Kwantung Army moving south, and its scale is not small.

However, this seemed to be just the beginning, and more exciting news came out next.

——On the 13th, the battle situation originally surrounding eastern Shaanxi and along the Yellow River, between the Japanese army and the northwest army, gradually stabilized.

After the Japanese army's repeated offensives were repelled, their willingness to attack was no longer strong, and there were even signs of retreat.

Then the news of the Japanese army's raid on Yan'an came, and everything seemed to come to light. The Japanese army's attack on Xi'an was just a pretense. In fact, they were attacking from the east and heading toward Yan'an.

This made Hu Shoushan, the commander of the Chiang Kai-shek stationed in Xi'an, heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also had the idea of ​​​​sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight and watch the excitement in a leisurely manner.

In Yan'an, after the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army began, Hu Shoushan even ordered the troops originally stationed east of Yan'an and near the Yellow River to withdraw, for fear of encountering the advancing Japanese army, causing unnecessary misunderstandings and a fight.

As for the excuse for withdrawing the troops, it is called: "Reinforce Xi'an!"

This man has always adhered to the Chairman's policy. Since he led the Northwest Army to garrison the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Defense Line in the province, he has stationed troops in the northwest, blocked the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, passively resisted Japan, and actively guarded against the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, on the evening of the 13th, a particularly special elite Japanese army turned around with an astonishing offensive and resumed its rapid attack in the direction of Xi'an.

Hu Shoushan, who was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, could not have expected that the Japanese army would come back again. He was not aware of it for a moment, and in the hasty response, he lost his troops and generals, and struggled to stop the attack, and finally managed to save the city of Xi'an.

It is a pity that the large number of warehouses that were originally stored around Xi'an, as well as the large number of factories, agricultural bases, etc. that were developed and constructed, were all looted by the Japanese army.

It turned out that the first wave of Japanese troops attacking Xi'an and Yan'an were only troops drawn from the original Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi.

They attacked Yan'an fiercely and pretended to attack Xi'an. It seemed that they were attacking from the east and west and heading towards Yan'an.

As a result, Hu Shoushan failed to investigate for a while and was careless, allowing the Japanese army to take advantage of the loophole.
