In fact, the real reason why the division commanders and commanders of the Seventh Group Army jointly concealed Fu Yisheng was that they received money, as the saying goes, those who eat others have a short mouth, and they take other people's soft hands, and in line with the principle of collecting money to do things, they turned a blind eye to this matter, anyway, it was not their Seventh Army that was hurt in the end, but the New 33rd Army.

These people do not have Liao Fan's lofty ideals, they fight for the country and the people, their purpose is very simple, to survive this war, and then they don't have to do anything with a little money, just live their own comfortable life.

Although there are also particularly upright people among them, the money is still delivered to them, and few people can tempt such a big profit. Moreover, these army commanders and division commanders are also worried that the growth of the new 33rd Army will crush their living space, and they are worried about their future.

It's this series of things that combine to make them very negative about combat. If Fu Yisheng really went to the battlefield and heard some rumors, he would inevitably be suspicious of them and severely punish them. They must unite to prevent Fu Yisheng from going to the front line, otherwise what they staged on the battlefield will be exposed.

Although these people hid everything from Fu Yisheng, Fu Yisheng trusted him and these officers very much, thinking that these officers prevented him from going to the front line for his own good.

However, Fu Yisheng's determination has been determined, he does not want his Seventh Army to be crushed by the New 33rd Army in the Suiyuan area, otherwise the common people in the Suiyuan area only recognize the New 33rd Army, but not the Seventh Group Army, although they are still stationed in the Suiyuan area, but young people will go to the New 33rd Army instead of the Seventh Army when they become soldiers.

"There are no immortals in the war, and I will go to the front line with the Warlord team tomorrow morning!" Fu Yisheng had already decided that he had to break through the Japanese army ahead of the New 33rd Army.

The officers of the Seventh Army who were present also wanted to stop Fu Yisheng.

"Who dares to stop me, punished for disturbing the morale of the army!" Fu Yisheng's words, no one dared to stop him.

After the big meeting, it's a small meeting. Of course, this meeting does not include Fu Yisheng, so this is also called a policy and a countermeasure. The small meeting was secretly prevented by Fu Yisheng's officers themselves, and if they didn't want to take countermeasures, everything they had arranged would be in vain.

Fu Yisheng obviously didn't know that his subordinates were plotting, and he thought that as long as the supervising team went to the front line to supervise the battle tomorrow, they would definitely take all the peripheral positions of the Japanese army.

However, while Fu Yisheng was still asleep, a dense gunfire sounded on the front line, Fu Yisheng was awakened, and hurriedly asked the communication soldiers what happened.

Fu Yisheng hurried to the headquarters, and a division commander was already waiting in the headquarters with a dirty face.

"What happened?" Fu Yisheng felt that something was wrong.

"Chief Fu, everything is my responsibility, the front-line position is not strictly defended, and the Japanese army of a brigade broke through at night!" The division commander knelt in front of Fu Yisheng and cried loudly.

"You...... You deserve death! I'm going to kill you! ”

Fu Yi was speechless angrily, and directly pulled out his matching gun, loaded the bullet on the forehead of the division commander.

"Chief Fu, Chief Fu, keep people under the gun!"

At this time, the commanders and division commanders of the Seventh Army rushed into the headquarters to intercede on behalf of the division commander kneeling on the ground.

"Chief Fu, Senior Qu has been following you for five years, and there is no merit and hard work, so you can spare his life for the sake of the past feelings!"

All the officers were pleading for the division commander who was kneeling on the ground, and Fu Yisheng didn't dare to be angry, after all, he still had to rely on these people to command the battle. Fu Yisheng put down the gun in his hand with difficulty.

"Send a telegram to Division Commander Li, telling them that there is a brigade of Japanese troops breaking through from the direction of our army, and let them be careful to be on guard, if necessary, they can withdraw their troops!"

Fu Yisheng was very aware of the consequences of a brigade of Japanese troops breaking through from them, and all the troops of Li Weimin's division were scattered along the entire front line, and there were no extra troops to intercept the Japanese troops of this brigade.

All the officers in the command headquarters breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Fu Yisheng put down his gun, the whole incident was planned by them together, and there must be someone who has to take a big risk, they just want to bet that Fu Yisheng will not be angry and shoot a division commander.

It has happened, Fu Yisheng sat on a chair, holding his head in his hands, when they counterattacked Baotou, there was no big difference in strength with the Japanese army, but they still succeeded in recapturing Baotou. However, now they have much more troops than the Japanese army, and they have not made the slightest progress in fighting for a day, and they have also allowed the Japanese troops of one brigade to successfully break through, so that the entire battle plan has fallen into passivity.

"Master Qu, I remember that you have made meritorious contributions to the Japanese resistance in the past, if I don't kill you, you can unload your armor and return to the field!"

Although Fu Yisheng did not kill the division commander, he must be punished for letting go of the enemy on the battlefield, otherwise what is the military discipline in the army? Since he was not killed, he could not be allowed to remain in the army, and if any officer let the enemy go in the future, they would take this matter as an excuse, and the majesty of military law and discipline would be lost.

"Commander-in-chief, I have followed you to fight in the south and north since the Central Plains War, you can't drive me away so ruthlessly, right?"

Master Qu, who originally thought that there was nothing to do, did not expect Fu Yisheng to decisively expel him from the army, how could he accept it, he was nothing without the army.

"You have followed me since the Great War in the Central Plains, so you should know that military law is ruthless! If it weren't for the love you have followed me for many years, you would have been shot by now! ”

Fu Yisheng is not a ruthless person, but military law is ruthless, and he is not sure that he will leave Commander Qu in the army again.

The other officers of the Seventh Army also did not expect that Fu Yisheng would drive Division Commander Qu out of the army, and it seemed that the matter was irreparable, although this matter was planned by them together, and someone had to bear the blame. It's just that Master Qu is too unlucky.

However, Master Qu carried the black pot for them, of course they would not just give up on Master Qu.

"Commander-in-chief, Division Commander Qu didn't mean it, the Japanese army has strong combat effectiveness, and Division Commander Qu's position is also very well arranged, unintentional mistakes, forgive him this time!" All the officers were interceding on behalf of Commander Qu.

However, how could Fu Yisheng be willing to stay any longer, not for himself alone, but for the future of the entire Seventh Army.

"Guards, collect Commander Qu's gun and escort him away!" Fu Yisheng had made up his mind, and no one could change his mind.

In fact, Fu Yisheng's heart was already in a mess now, and the consequences of a brigade of Japanese troops breaking through from their defense area would be unimaginable to the New 33rd Army, and he had no time to care about the thoughts of Division Commander Qu and many officers.

Li Weimin was shocked when he received a telegram from the headquarters of the Seventh Army, a brigade of Japanese troops was coming at them, and there was no unit in his hands that could stop the Japanese troops of this brigade.

"Commander, what should we do now?" The staff officers in the headquarters are waiting for Li Weimin to make a decision.

The Japanese army of a brigade is not a big deal for Li Weimin in the past, but now it is different, all the troops in his hands are pressed to the underground fortifications of the Japanese army, and at this time, Li Weimin cannot send a single soldier except for the logistics soldiers who can use it.

Li Weimin was in a hurry to turn around in the headquarters, and if they withdrew their troops now, it would be tantamount to giving up everything. But he had no choice.

Just when Li Weimin was scratching his ears and cheeks to find a way, a soldier reported to him that Liao Fan was coming.

"Brother Fan, why are you here?" Li Weimin hurriedly went out, just in time to see Liao Fan walking towards the headquarters with the guards.

"I heard you're having a problem?"

Now that the matter is urgent, there is no need for Liao Fan to hide it, and he will go straight to the point with Li Weimin.

"There is a brigade of Japanese troops on the side of the Seventh Army who have broken through, and the direction after the breakthrough is on our side, and our division no longer has the strength to send the Japanese troops who block this brigade!"

"Ma Wanzhong's two regiments have arrived in Datong, and they have already gone north to stop the Japanese army when I come, but these two regiments have no way to surround all the Japanese brigades, so your division must hurry up and retreat!"

What Liao Fan is most worried about has happened, that is, it is difficult for the immortals to change the current situation while they are alive.

"But ......" Li Weimin was still hesitating, they had been preparing for this battle for a long time.

"Not so much, if you want to wipe out the troops, then go on! Now it's not just a brigade of the Japanese army, I just got information that Okamura Ninji has sent troops to the Suiyuan area! ”

After Okamura Ninji learned that the Suiyuan area was attacked by a large-scale attack by the Chinese army, he immediately arranged troops to support, which was also something Liao Fan did not expect, regardless of whether a brigade of the Japanese army broke through or not, their operation failed.

"Inform the regiments, and organize a retreat as soon as you receive the order!"

Li Weimin knew that they were going to retreat no matter what.

"Send a telegram to Chief Fu and tell them to retreat too!" Liao Fan reminded Li Weimin.

The reason why the plan fell into passivity was not only the responsibility of the Seventh Army, from the very beginning, Liao Fan did not expect that the Japanese army in Hebei would come to support. The plan for a second attack on the Suiyuan region was declared bankrupt.

Although the little devils suffered heavy losses in this operation, their main force was still intact. However, the New 33rd Army has also achieved great results, that is, it has blown up the Japanese army's underground fortifications, and I am afraid that the Japanese army will not be able to completely repair the underground fortifications in the recent period.

The most ineffective was the Seventh Army, which sacrificed three times the strength of the Japanese army, and did not even take the outlying positions of the Japanese army, which could be a huge blow to Fu Yisheng. For the results of this operation, he took the initiative to take all the responsibility, of course, Liao Fan also knew that the responsibility was not Fu Yisheng, but this incident was a bit too big a blow to Fu Yisheng.
