    The Commander-in-Chief of the Guard looked at the door and window of the room, then approached Xia Yang and said, "Brother, I don't know if you can tell me more about it. How many troops do you have in southern Shanxi? How are they equipped? How are their combat capabilities?"

    Xia Yang said: "It's too specific for me to disclose.

    But in terms of combat power, just by leaving the Japanese army helpless in southern Shanxi, you should be able to tell how powerful they are.

    As for the number of troops, I will give you a rough idea.

    Before attacking Jincheng, they had about 50,000 troops.  They are all elite soldiers who have undergone long-term training.

    After capturing Jincheng, they recruited a large number of soldiers this winter and established many new regiments and new combat brigades.  The number of troops now should be more than 80,000.  "

    After saying this, the Commander-in-Chief Wei looked at Xia Yang with a look of incredible admiration.

    He originally only knew that there was an army of Xia Yang in several counties in western Henan.

    At that time, they only had a few thousand people, but in just over a year, they have grown to this size.

    Actually, what he didn¡¯t know was that Xia Yang didn¡¯t reveal all the details to him.

    Those paramilitary organizations and a large number of reserve militia groups can be added to the frontline combat troops at any time.

    Together with them, Xia Yang's army in southern Shanxi and western Henan has reached nearly 100,000.

    And this number is still expanding.

    Because they have sufficient supplies, there is also no shortage of firearms and ammunition.  Only then can we expand the army so unscrupulously.

    "If this is really the case, then this battle in southern Shanxi already has a 50% chance of winning." said the Commander-in-Chief of Wei.

    Xia Yang shook his head and said: "50% chance of winning is not enough."

    As he spoke, he made an "eight" sign with his fingers, and then said: "80% chance of winning. If there is no 80% chance of winning, I would rather not fight this battle."

    "Where did the other 30% come from?" Commander-in-Chief Wei looked at Xia Yang and asked.

    ??

    Pulling them onto the battlefield, even if it is to support the situation, can at least contain the Japanese army that has reorganized the division.  "

    The Commander-in-Chief of Wei said: "Do they have a 30% chance of winning?"

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "Yes, the Japanese army in Shanxi now numbers more than 200,000. Including the puppet troops, it does not exceed 300,000."

    As for the Japanese troops in North China, they will provide appropriate reinforcements to the Shanxi region.  But I estimate that it will not exceed 100,000 people.  "

    "No more than 100,000? How can you see that? The Japanese army has a lot of troops in North China. If it doesn't work, they can even draw troops from the battlefield in South China and the three eastern provinces." Commander-in-Chief Wei said.

    But Xia Yang knew in his heart that in May and June, the war in Shanxi would be in full swing.  It was also the time when the Japanese army was making formal pre-war preparations for the invasion of Southeast Asia and the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

    The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred in December, and the invasion of Southeast Asia occurred at the same time as the attack on Pearl Harbor.

    So in the past few months, the Japanese army will definitely concentrate all war resources and the elite forces that can be mobilized on the battlefield in Southeast Asia.

    After all, compared to Shanxi, the whole of Southeast Asia is obviously a more attractive piece of cake.

    It¡¯s just that the Commander-in-Chief of Wei didn¡¯t know about the occurrence of these historical events, so naturally he wouldn¡¯t be as confident as Xia Yang to make such bold speculations.

    "After we captured Datong, the Japanese troops in North China began to gather. I thought they were going to launch a large-scale counterattack in northwestern Shanxi, but a whole winter passed and they did not take any action." Xia Yang said.

    "What do you mean?" the commander-in-chief asked.

    ??

    Hearing Xia Yang's words, the Commander-in-Chief Wei suddenly fell into deep thought.

    After a long while, he raised his head and said, "Are they planning to launch another large-scale offensive in South China or Henan?"

    ¡°It¡¯s not like we¡¯re going to attack the Soviets!¡±

    This is the limit of the Commander-in-Chief¡¯s imagination. After all, he only pays attention to the domestic war and basically does not pay attention to the international situation outside.

    Xia Yang??: "I feel that if they just organize a large-scale attack in South China, the Japanese army does not have to do this.

    They may be playing a bigger game, and this time the Japanese army wants to eat something bigger.  "

    ¡°We can¡¯t attack the United States and then land in the United States.¡± The commander-in-chief said jokingly.

    ??

    The Commander-in-Chief of Wei was stunned for a moment, feeling that he could no longer understand what Xia Yang said.

    He brought the topic back to Jinnan¡¯s offensive and said to Xia Yang: ¡°Brother, if you are determined and confident enough, then I don¡¯t have any problem.

    It¡¯s just that those people need you to convince them.  Bro, I can also be your lobbyist.  But it¡¯s hard to say how many people will be willing to follow us in the end.  "

    Having said this, he also smiled bitterly.

    Xia Yang said: "I'll convince you, I just need you to invite them over."

    The Commander-in-Chief of Wei said: "How to persuade?"

    "Draw a big pie and let them see the benefits. Otherwise, they will not follow us." Xia Yang said.

    "Hahaha, brother, I'll tell you the truth. I just thought you were going to fight against their country and nation." Commander-in-Chief Wei said with a smile.

    Xia Yang waved his hand and said: "Everyone has their own interests and demands. For some people, the justice of the country may come first. But for some people, the justice of the country and nation are often not as important as them.  The little bit of self-interest at hand.¡±

    The Commander-in-Chief of Wei said: "Okay, then I will accompany you, brother, to wade through the muddy waters this time. I will send them a report immediately and see them inviting you over."

    Xia Yang said: "Thank you so much, brother."

    His words of "brother" are already much closer than the previous "Commander-in-Chief".  This also shows that he regards the Commander-in-Chief as one of his own.

    The telegram was sent out quickly, but of course the commander-in-chief would not say what military meeting they were invited to this time.

    If it is a military meeting, then it would be a blessing if two or three of these people could come.  Others either had headaches or brain fever, or were injured from falling while riding horses, or were injured by horse hoofs.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
