Therefore, the central army was not mobilized to enter Shanxi.
When Zeng Jiwen told everyone his analysis, everyone's faces suddenly became serious.
Although everyone had a vague idea of this, when Zeng Jiwen spoke out, the situation became more serious than they had expected.
Zeng Jiwen even speculated that as the Japanese army continued to expand in the second half of this year, the Japanese army in North China would definitely expand rapidly.
Afterwards, the Eighth Route Army will definitely be encircled and suppressed through various means.
I'm afraid the next two years will be extremely difficult.
However, Zeng Jiwen later said that there was no need to worry. With the 389th Division moving eastward to southern Hebei and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in central Hebei to the north, once the two sides gained a foothold on the North China Plain, they would respond to each other from north to south.
Even if the Japanese army wanted to launch a large-scale attack, they would have to make him busy and see whether they wanted to capture the city or destroy the Eighth Route Army at all costs.
After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, everyone nodded.
After all, this time is not like the original time and space.
Because the 389th Division led by Zeng Jiwen attracted most of the attention of the Japanese First Army in the first half of this year.
At present, both Northwest Shanxi and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region are developing very rapidly.
Especially the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. After the reorganization this year, the entire military region has a total of thirty regiments.
Together with the 389th Division, the Northwest Shanxi Division, the 129th Division and the new army in Shanxi, the entire Eighth Route Army can now control and command nearly one hundred regiments.
Thinking of this, Zeng Jiwen couldn't help but smile at the deputy commander.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, last year I said that this year our Eighth Route Army would be able to raise at least a hundred regiments. It's only been half a year now, do you think I was right?"
"Next year, when the troops expand to the North China Plain, the number of my regiments will double after they make a full trip to North China."
After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, everyone was very happy.
"You're just lucky. You're so shameless. And you still have the nerve to show off here? If you have the guts, don't ask us for help next year."
The Deputy Chief of General Staff laughed and criticized Zeng Jiwen. Zeng Jiwen just smiled and did not refute.
After a round of banter, the deputy commander and his entourage prepared to go back.
Before leaving, I told Zeng Jiwen and others about my family's plan to establish the Tainan Military Region with the 389th Division. (Actually, there was only the Tainan Special District before, but here we just call it Tainan to avoid any confusion.)
Let Zeng Jiwen and others start to divide the garrison distribution of the military regions in advance to avoid a rush when the orders are issued.
Zeng Jiwen was surprised when he heard the news.
He had anticipated the establishment of the Tainan Military Region. After all, the areas around him in the original time and space added up to the Taihang Military Region, which was established in the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japan based on the troops under Commander Liu.
Later, Zeng Jiwen heard that the General Command planned to establish the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region with the 389th Division and Commander Liu's troops, with Commander Liu as the commander.
After listening to this, Zeng Jiwen thought that he had completely disrupted the timeline, and that he, the butterfly, had caused some changes after all.
The original Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was established after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but as the situation developed, it was split up not long after.
At the same time, the commander-in-chief told Zeng Jiwen and others that although the Tainan Military Region was a second-level military region, in fact, the area of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was too large, and it would definitely be adjusted to be used as a first-level military region in the future.
But we definitely cannot do this at the moment. It would attract too much attention if we directly listed a bunch of directly affiliated military regions. We cannot divert the attention of the entire Japanese army in China to them at the moment.
Moreover, at this time and space, as the 389th Division opened up the situation in southeastern Shanxi and southern Hebei, except for a part of the 129th Division that went to eastern Shandong, the rest, except for the 386th Brigade, entered northern Henan and is moving towards central Henan.
