Chapter 820: The Third Time
"Let the people from the newspaper office and our propagandists bring cameras and banknotes to do a live report!"
After receiving Ma Wanzhong's order, Liao Fan immediately arranged for media workers to go to the Luliang area.
"Send a telegram to Ma Wanzhong, telling him to protect the media reporters, and to arrange for the troops to settle the people, and the injured people can be sent to our hospital for free treatment! Secondly, if you have the ability to arrange for troops to surround Yan Laoxi's headquarters, you can't let anyone leave without my order! ”
Things have come to this point, which Liao Fan didn't expect. Since Yan Laoxi was going to dig his own grave, Liao Fan didn't mind preparing a coffin for him, but the people in the Luliang area became the biggest victims.
In just a few days, the matter of Yan Laoxi's order to burn, kill, and loot in the Luliang area became known to everyone throughout the country, and there were pictures in the newspapers, and all forces issued statements supporting the New 33rd Army's crusade against Yan Laoxi, and even Chairman Chiang issued a statement in support of the New 33rd Army.
Yan Laoxi really became a loner at this time, and no one dared to support him.
In the headquarters of Yan Laoxi in Luliang, surrounded by soldiers of the New 33rd Army, Yan Laoxi has been imprisoned in his headquarters, Yan Laoxi's eyes are blank at this time, and he no longer has the shrewdness that a politician should have, his face is dirty, his eyes are dull, it seems that he has become a wooden man.
As for the officers around him, they had already been separated and imprisoned by the soldiers of the New 33rd Army, they were all sinners, and they were heinous to the people of the Luliang area.
"Open the door!"
Ma Wanzhong had already arranged everything in the Luliang area, and at this time he finally had time to come to Yan Laoxi.
The command center was very quiet, the food on the table did not move at all, Ma Wanzhong took a cursory look at the surrounding situation, the layout in the command center was very proper and clean, only the food on the table appeared out of place.
"Take things down, the people in the Luliang area have nothing to eat, and it's a waste to give him so much food!"
As an opponent, Ma Wanzhong did not pity Yan Laoxi at all, the chairman of a province back then was a prisoner today, which just made people sigh and lament.
"What are you going to do with me?" Yan Laoxi is no longer full of glory as he used to be.
"Want to hear it true or fake?" Ma Wanzhong looked at Yan Laoxi and asked.
Yan Laoxi didn't understand what Ma Wanzhong meant and looked up at him, but Ma Wanzhong ignored it, looked at the globe on the desk with interest, and thought to himself that the world was like this, the biggest map he had ever seen was a map of China, and he had never seen a map of the world.
"This thing is good, where is China?"
"This is China, this is Japan!" Yan Laoxi pointed at Ma Wanzhong.
"You are more talented than me, it's a pity, it's a pity, one wrong step, one wrong step, you were honest in Taiyuan, we won't drive you to Luliang, Brother Fan wanted to give you a way to live, but you are not honest in Luliang area, then there is no way, we just want to fight the little devils and never want to attack our own people, we are also forced to be cornered by your Chief Yan!"
"I want to hear the truth!" Yan Laoxi said seriously.
Ma Wanzhong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "Your influence is too great, Brother Fan wants you to die!" ”
"I see!" It took a long time for Yan Laoxi to reply.
"The gun is here, there is only one bullet, and there is a chance, this is your most decent way to die, don't think that someone will save you, Chairman Jiang will not save you this time!"
What Yan Laoxi did this time was too big, whoever saved him at this time was tantamount to setting himself on fire and ordering his troops to rob his own people, and whoever made this matter ended up in the same way.
With the sound of gunshots, the Jin Suijun came to a complete end on the stage of history. The Luliang area is in ruins, and everything needs to be rearranged.
Although the Jin Sui Army withdrew from the stage of history, their responsibilities and tasks were still very huge for the New 33rd Army, and the Japanese army was still the number one enemy in China today. Although the country has begun to support Chongqing's war of resistance against Japan, the situation in China is still not good.
The Japanese army occupied Southeast Asia one after another, and the population of the areas controlled by the little devils gradually began to be equal to the population of the non-enemy occupied areas, which means that the number of puppet soldiers that the Japanese army can recruit can be equivalent to the total strength of China's War of Resistance, which is a very dangerous situation for China, because the average combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is much higher than that of Chinese soldiers, if it is higher than the Chinese army in numbers, even if the battle line is longer, they will have enough troops to fight the Chinese army.
However, for the new 33rd Army, with the stability of Shanxi, they recruited more and more troops, and the New 33rd Army once again carried out a frantic expansion of troops, and the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area became much more honest.
However, when the Japanese army was repairing the fortifications, Li Weimin was not idle, since it was not possible to fight a large-scale battle, then a small-scale attack was carried out, and the fortifications that the Japanese army had just repaired were bombed into ruins after being attacked by the soldiers of the new 33rd Army.
For such a long period of time, the scale of the Japanese army's repair was not ordinary, and the commander of the little devil was also overwhelmed, their fortifications were originally intended to be permanent fortifications, but they couldn't even do temporary fortifications if they went on like this. In particular, they could only transport the cement needed for the fortifications from the rear, but as the fighting continued to break out, the materials that could be transported were really pitiful.
Li Weimin also realized the logistical supply difficulties of the little devils, and specially formed a commando team to attack the logistics troops of the Japanese army.
Without building materials, the little devil is also a clever woman who has no rice.
Although the battle between the Seventh Army and Li Weimin was not won, it caused a lot of trouble to the little devils. Moreover, now that Yan Laoxi is dead, Ma Wanzhong's troops have been repaired and replenished for more than a month, and the strength has reached more than 40,000 people, and the morale is unprecedentedly high.
"We can take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not repaired the fortifications and fight the little devils again!"
Li Weimin discussed with Liao Fan to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area again, this time the Japanese army's fortifications were damaged, and no one was holding them back, and this time was the most suitable time to fight the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area.
"I think it's okay, but this time we have to be fully prepared, especially Okamura Ninji's reinforcements!"
In the west, Fu Yisheng's troops of the Seventh Army were pinning down the Japanese army, and in the southeast, they were most worried about the support of Okamura Ninji's troops, and they had to stop the Japanese army's support, otherwise the plan would fail.
"Brother Fan, just leave this mission to us, we and the Japanese army in Hebei are also old opponents, the Japanese army from afar to support must not be fully prepared, I, Ma Wanzhong, promise you that I will never let go of the little devil!"
Now the four divisions of the New 33rd Army have been developed, and although they do not have an advantage in terms of strength, they are already much superior to the little devils in terms of firepower.
"It's almost summer in a blink of an eye, and the summer on the grassland is very different from Taihang Mountain and Shanxi!"
Liao Fan believes in the combat effectiveness of his troops, but the combat effectiveness does not explain everything, otherwise from ancient times to the present, there are so many battles where fewer win more. Whether it is man-made or environmental factors, it can determine the outcome of a battle.
After experiencing the last defeat, Liao Fan had to consider more comprehensively, especially the various factors that affected the progress of the war.
When the Japanese army attacked Wuhan, it took the lives of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers just by illness. With the arrival of summer, the environment on the grassland will also become very different, although most of the soldiers of the new 33rd Army are northerners, but the grassland is infested with mosquitoes and is easy to spread diseases, which is a great test for the soldiers.
"This ......"
Li Weimin and Ma Wanzhong didn't think of the problems brought by the summer, once the disease spreads, it is difficult to control it in a short time, and once the little devils launch a counterattack, their losses will not be small.
"The Japanese army is not our worst enemy, the mosquitoes on the grassland are our worst enemy! We need a lot of herbs, and as soon as the soldiers find out that they are in a physical condition, they will be evacuated from the front line immediately! ”
They have to make all the preparations, and by the time the problems come to light, it's too late.
"Ma Wanzhong, your division took advantage of the cover of night to bypass the underground fortifications of the Japanese army from the north to establish fortifications in the Xinghe area to block the Japanese troops who came to support them!"
The arrangement of the troops is good, and the Japanese army has become a lone army in the Suiyuan area, and the channels that can support it are limited, and the most important thing is the preparation of the troops.
As a result, the Seventh Group and the New 33rd Army launched the third joint operation against the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area.
Because the Japanese underground fortifications were not repaired, Li Weimin carried out a lightning assault on them this time, and the little devil became a king as soon as the battle began, and he shrank in the underground fortifications and did not come out.
"Let the logistics deliver it to us*, and deliver it to me as many as possible, I don't believe that this turtle shell can't be blown up!"
After seven or eight days of continuous attack, although all units made progress, this speed was too slow, and the pressure on the logistics troops was great, especially with the arrival of the rainy season on the steppe, which also caused a lot of pressure on the hearts of the soldiers.
In the mud, the soldiers fought deep and shallow, and their physical strength was also greatly consumed.
"The Japanese army don't have to worry about the rain when they hide underground, we can do it well, only these tents shelter from the rain!"
The soldiers complained that God was unfair, the Japanese army hid underground in the winter and cooled in the summer, while the soldiers of the new 33rd Army had to eat and sleep in the open, when will this kind of battle be a head.
"Okay, don't complain, if the company commander hears it, you'll be criticized again!"
