Although the Taihang Mountain Sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and under the joint management of everyone, in less than three years, all the departments related to the operation should be available, and everything serves the combat troops. What made Liao Fan even happier was that the telephone was connected to the station, although the telephone coverage was a bit small, and it could only cover the troops around the station, but it was another big improvement for the new 33rd Army.

But Liao Fan did not give up training telegraph personnel because of the telephone, after all, telegraph is the mainstream now, and the range that cannot be covered by telephone can be completely replaced by telegraph.

All the troops were strong, especially Hu Guoshan's troops had not fought for a long time, and the troops had been greatly expanded, and they all wanted to have a decisive battle with the little devils to test their abilities.

It is good that morale is high, but this can easily lead to arrogance, and Liao Fan does not want the troops to spread arrogance, because this will cause a bloody lesson. But the high morale of the troops had nowhere to vent, and the impact on the troops was not very good.

In the end, Liao Fan decided to let Ma Wanzhong's troops withdraw to rest, and let Hu Guoshan's troops go to Jingcheng to fight the little devil. After Hu Guoshan evacuated Taiyuan, Liu Chundao would be stationed in Taiyuan.

When the news first reached Yan Laoxi's ears, Yan Laoxi slapped happily, after Hu Guoshan left, he finally had the opportunity to clean up the gang of people at the beginning of the Communist Party, and Taiyuan was not under his control at that time.

However, before Yan Laoxi could be happy for two hours, another piece of information made Yan Laoxi furious: "What qualifications does the New 33rd Army have to garrison in Taiyuan?" ”

"Come on, go to Hu Guoshan's headquarters!" Yan Laoxi wants to ask what is going on.

Hu Guoshan's command headquarters was in chaos at this time, and there were many troops, and sometimes there were a lot of troubles, first of all, I heard that there was going to be a war, and more than a dozen regiment commanders who refused to admit defeat had to compete for the task of the main force, so Hu Guoshan's regiment commanders were arguing about who would be the main force in the Jingcheng area.

"Report to the division commander, Commander-in-Chief Yan has arrived!" Signal Corps Report.

"Alright, alright, we'll discuss this matter after we get to Jingcheng!" Hu Guoshan knows why Yan Laoxi came.

Yan Laoxi angrily walked into Hu Guoshan's headquarters, sat on the chair without saying a word, and the guards stood behind Yan Laoxi, looking like they were looking for someone to settle accounts.

"Orderly, go pour water for Chief Yan!" Hu Guoshan turned to look at Yan Laoxi, "Chief Yan, who provoked you?" ”

"I heard you're going to be transferred? Whose appointment? Yan Laoxi questioned Hu Guoshan.

Hu Guoshan was relieved, moved a chair and sat opposite Yan Laoxi: "Chief Yan originally came for this matter, of course it was the order of the New 33rd Army!" ”

"Commander Hu, don't be joking, you are not subordinate to the New 33rd Army now, you should obey the orders of Chairman Jiang of Chongqing!" Yan Laoxi regarded Hu Guoshan as the commander of the army and separated Hu Guoshan's troops from the New 33rd Army.

"Chief Yan is really not joking with you this time, I was appointed as the commander of the army in Chongqing, but so far the appointment letter and the number of the unit have not been given to me, what do you want me to do? Moreover, the officers and soldiers below all think that they belong to the New 33rd Army, and now they are promoting me to the commander-in-chief of the theater, and they only regard themselves as soldiers of the New 33rd Army! ”

Hu Guoshan thought to himself that he was about to leave anyway, so for the time being, he should not offend Yan Laoxi first, and said that he didn't want to leave because he didn't want to leave, so that he didn't have to tear his face with Yan Laoxi, and he would talk about the future later, anyway, the money was already in hand.

"Commander Hu, I believe that Chongqing's order will definitely come back in a few days, how can Chongqing not cherish a talent like Commander Hu!" Yan Laoxi began to think crookedly.

"If I were really talented, Chongqing's order would have come down a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited so long, I still don't want to be sentimental! If Chongqing's order has been refused, we can't wait for Taiyuan for a lifetime, and our division will have no mother's child without the New 33rd Army! I don't want to leave the New 33rd Army and become a lonely ghost! ”

Yan Laoxi was waiting for Hu Guoshan's words: "If Commander Hu can afford to be a certain person in Yan, it is better to bring troops to our Jin Sui Army, as long as you join my Jin Sui Army, I promise to treat Commander Hu as a brother, if you feel that the position of army commander is not in line with the identity of Commander Hu, I still have a vacant position of deputy commander-in-chief!" I don't know if Commander Hu is willing! ”

Yan Laoxi really moved his mind to buy Hu Guoshan, but in fact, what he valued was not Hu Guoshan, but the tens of thousands of troops under Hu Guoshan.

How could Hu Guoshan not understand Yan Laoxi's thoughts, half of the soldiers under his command are veterans, they can fight well, and they are a strong force wherever they are placed, not to mention Yan Laoxi, if Chairman Jiang is here, he Hu Guoshan said that I want to lead the troops to join the Central Army, and Chairman Jiang will definitely be happy.

"Chief Yan won't hide from you, you are not afraid of provoking the New 33rd Army, I am afraid of provoking the New 33rd Army! Don't talk about this matter! Hu Guoshan didn't expect a word to make Yan Laoxi catch the flaw, and he was almost surrounded by this old fox, he hurriedly changed the topic, "Tell Chief Yan one thing, after I leave Taiyuan, all the defense of Taiyuan will be handed over to Liu Chundao, this division commander's temper is not the same as mine, Chief Yan has to pay more attention!" ”

Hu Guoshan understands very well what this old fox is paying attention to, the place occupied by the Jin Sui army in Taiyuan City is the smallest, of course, in addition to the issue of interests, it is also about the face of Yan Laoxi and the Jin Sui army, if he goes out and is ridiculed by his colleagues, his old Yan's face has no place to rest. The reason why he replaced Liu Chundao was to deter Yan Laoxi in advance, so that Liu Chundao could stabilize his pace first after entering Taiyuan.

However, where would Yan Laoxi listen to Hu Guoshan's advice, he only had Shanxi and Taiyuan in his heart, Shanxi was his, since he became the boss of Shanxi, no one dared to touch his interests in Shanxi. Chairman Jiang can't do it, the new 33rd Army can't do it, and the newcomer Liu Chundao can't do it, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely take everything back in Shanxi.

Yan Laoxi was bent on drawing Hu Guoshan into his camp, but Hu Guoshan politely declined.

"Commander Yan's time is not early, you better go back early, the troops are busy with the transfer and there are still many things to deal with, I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future!" Hu Guoshan really didn't want to face this old fox, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to act in front of him for a long time.

Yan Laoxi ran for a trip, and his mood was not very good, he gave Hu Guoshan money and weapons and equipment for Chongqing was a waste, and in the end he got less than one-third of Taiyuan City, and Yan Laoxi, a Shanxi man who is good at business, completely planted it once.

"Let Shang Zhen's 32nd Army and Yang Xiaoou's 36th Army have been transferred to the area of Gujiao and Yuanxiang (west of Taiyuan) to standby!" After returning to the headquarters, Yan Laoxi gave orders to the chief of staff.

"Yang Xiaoou's 36th Army is still in a confrontation with the Eighth Route Army, will it be a problem to withdraw rashly?" The chief of staff reminded Yan Laoxi.

"Isn't there still the Central Army there staring after we retreated? Are they eating dry food? Yan Laoxi is not happy in his heart, he can't get his hometown back, and he still has to compete with the Eighth Route Army.

"However, we also have to say hello to them in advance, so that they should also be prepared, after all, we are a joint crackdown on those people! Chairman Jiang knew that he was willing to scold! "The chief of staff doesn't want them to have a gap between the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, after all, the people with the prefix are near them, if the people with the prefix want to develop, it is still the interests of their Jin Sui Army that are encroached upon, and they need the Central Army to help.

And with the development of the past few years, the people with the prefix of the common word obviously have a tendency to become stronger and stronger, and if they tear their faces with the Central Army at this critical time, it will not be of any benefit to their Jin Sui Army.

"In this way, let the two of them prepare first, I will call Chairman Jiang, and I will explain this matter personally!"

Shanxi's interests are very important to Yan Laoxi, and it is also important to curb the development of people with the prefix of the Communist Party, Yan Xishan understands this truth, but the matter in Taiyuan is as disgusting as having a neighbor's septic tank at his doorstep.

After receiving the defense area in Shanxi, which replaced Hu Guoshan in charge of the new 33rd Army, Liu Chundao rushed to Hu Guoshan's headquarters with several of his regiment commanders non-stop.

"Lao Hu, how long have we not seen each other, and this meeting is about to separate!"

"That's no way, your old Liu is not as good as before, the four regiment commanders couldn't count your regiment at the beginning, but now your division has really become a big family! My old beard can't compare to you! Hu Guoshan said with a smile that he was also very happy to see Liu Chundao.

"Lao Hu, don't laugh at me, you can't do it without me Liu Chundao in the New 33rd Army, and you can't do it without Lao Hu! No, you're going to the front line, I still have to watch the house! ”

Since the formation of Liu Chundao's troops, most of the time and tasks have been to stop, and the battles they can participate in have also been counted.

"This is the garrison map of Taiyuan, including the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army! This map is going to be saved, but I've only shown it to Zhao Caizhu! Hu Guoshan handed over a map to Liu Chundao, "Don't worry about not fighting, the little devil hasn't driven out of China yet, and this battle will definitely not be finished for a while!" The situation in Taiyuan City, I will leave two staff officers and let them help you understand the situation in Taiyuan first, and stabilize it! This transfer is a bit urgent, so I won't be too polite with you Lao Liu! ”

"Okay, I won't delay you either."

"By the way, there's one more thing to tell you!" Hu Guoshan suddenly remembered something, "Yan Laoxi has already come to me!" It seems that you Lao Liu is very unwelcome, in my opinion, when you Lao Liu comes to Taiyuan, he will definitely give you a dismount, you have to be careful, you must not be soft on this kind of old fox! ”
