Although the Japanese army in Shanxi still had the ability to launch a counterattack against the new 33rd Army, it could no longer play any role, and the commander of the Japanese army in Shanxi even sent a telegram to the General Staff Headquarters asking to give up Shanxi, but it was rejected, and the reason for the meeting was also very simple, their Japanese Imperial Army was invincible and invincible, how could they give up Shanxi because of a little setback.

Not to mention that Shanxi has important coal resources, they need a lot of resources to sustain their next battle, Shanxi is full of large and small coal mines, if you abandon Shanxi, these resources can fall into the hands of the Chinese.

The commander of the Japanese army was also helpless, but for the sake of Shanxi, for the sake of their holy war in the Japanese Empire, he could grit his teeth and insist, but he had to give them additional troops, the troops originally stationed in Shanxi were already one out of ten, and if they did not replenish the troops, I am afraid that Shanxi would really not be able to hold it.

The Japanese army's general staff headquarters also agreed to send additional troops to Shanxi, but the number of troops they could send was very limited, and now the situation in Shanxi is becoming more and more unstable.

And as the war continued, the Suiyuan area became more and more unstable, and the activities of the anti-Japanese troops spontaneously organized by the Chinese people behind enemy lines became more and more frequent, which caused a lot of pressure on the railway line of the little devils, and in order to protect the smooth flow of the transportation line, the Japanese army also had to send a large number of troops to protect their transportation line.

The war not only caused a lot of pressure on the Chinese people, but also on the Japanese army, depending on who could hold on, especially when the battle in Taihang Mountain gradually became clear.

Liao Fan was lying on the hospital bed flipping through the books, this is not a book about military affairs, many books tell only some stories in history, and even some are wild histories, such as who Wu Zetian slept with, and who did the Empress Dowager Cixi walk with in the garden......

Hu Guoshan on the side was still boredly flipping through the comic book he took from Liao Fan's hand, at first he still felt that the story above was quite interesting, but after reading it a few times, he began to doubt his IQ a little, this kind of thing for children is obvious, he watched it with relish.

"What's wrong, your ass is itching again?"

"Brother Fan, I've been lying here for so many days, except for reading this broken book, I don't even have anyone to talk to, and Dr. Fu comes to show you affection from time to time, can you consider my feelings!"

"Your injuries are not healed, and you can't walk on the ground, do you want to find two little nurses to accompany you?"

Hu Guoshan didn't talk, he knew that Liao Fan was digging a pit for himself: "Old Lu, old Lu, how good it would be if you could wake up, our brothers are chattering, Brother Fan has no human touch at all now!" ”

Liao Fan put down the book in his hand and glanced at Lu Liming on the hospital bed, Fu Hongyu told him that Lu Liming was likely to become a vegetative person and never wake up again, seeing Lu Liming's appearance, Liao Fan was very disappointed and was in no mood to read again.

When Hu Guoshan saw Liao Fan's appearance, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't dare to look at Liao Fan's eyes, after all, if it wasn't for Lu Liming standing in front of Liao Fan, I am afraid that the person who wouldn't wake up would be Liao Fan.

"Brother Fan, how did you say the battle outside? Xiao Lizi has been transferred back to the resident hospital, and I don't know if Liu Chundao can hold it! Hu Guoshan wanted to divert Liao Fan's attention.

"Hey~" Liao Fan sighed, I don't know if he was worried about Li Weimin or Lu Liming, or he sighed for the things on the front line, now Taihang Mountain is not an eventful autumn, half of the high-level generals of the New 33rd Army have fallen, and the half that have not fallen are still underqualified, and the control of the battlefield is also lacking, although the general direction has been set, Liao Fan is inevitably worried.

As long as there are some local defeats in this war, it is very likely to determine the direction of the general direction of this war, of course, Liao Fan cannot arrange every company without problems, which requires the command of lower-level commanders.

If Liao Fan really wants to do everything, I'm afraid Liao Fan can't even bring a regiment of soldiers, as a senior commander, what he needs is to judge the situation, and then give correct orders to the troops according to the battlefield situation.

"Brother Fan, Chief of Staff Li and his troops have arrived in Datong, as long as there are no major problems, they will definitely get stuck in the throat of the little devil, and we will be able to get the news in two days at the latest!"

Hu Guoshan didn't expect that his words would make Liao Fan more and more worried, after all, Liao Fan is standing in a different position now, although his identity is still a military commander, but in the eyes of others, he is a rising warlord, and the new 33rd Army is likely to form a three-legged trend with Chongqing and the Eighth Route Army, even those original old warlords are not comparable to the status of the new 33rd Army.

"Now China is chaotic enough, if we lose the battle again, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Liao Fan is not sure what kind of chain reaction will be caused if they really fail, not to mention Taihang Mountain, Chongqing and the Eighth Route Army will definitely be affected, all this is hard to say.

And Liao Fan also heard from Liao Jundong about the matter between Chongqing and the New Fourth Army, he didn't want to see such a thing, and he could hope that person could lead the New Fourth Army to avoid this disaster, after all, they are all compatriots, if there is really a fight, it will be a matter of relatives and enemies.

Liao Fan fell into contemplation, although he has a certain influence in the hearts of the people, but the things he can control are only this acre and three points of land, after all, the orthodoxy of the country is still his Chairman Jiang, if Liao Fan dares to jump out, it is a rebellion.

"Brother Fan? Van Ge ......"

Hu Guoshan saw that Liao Fan was deep in thought, and called Liao Fan in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Liao Fan woke up from his contemplation.

"No, can you lend me a book to read!"

Liao Fan took out a book with a strong story from the pile of books and handed it to Hu Guoshan: "Don't break or stain the book, this is our wealth!" ”

Chongqing has already taken action against the New Fourth Army, and of course Commander Ye did not take Liao Fan's words to heart when he reminded him. Not only in southern Anhui, but also in many guerrilla areas south of the Yangtze River, the Nationalist army began large-scale operations, and their targets were not the Japanese army or those guerrillas.

Also on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border, the two families fought more and more fiercely, no less than a battle with the Japanese army, and each side had to put the other to death.

Liao Fan didn't have any way to solve the problem at all, he could only lie on the hospital bed and flip through the books boringly, hoping that the troubles on his side would be solved quickly, so that their new 33rd Army could breathe a sigh of relief.

The counterattack of the New 33rd Army has already achieved certain results, especially against Shanxi, and the Japanese army does not dare to provoke the New 33rd Army to the east. But there is a good side and there must be a bad side, that is, on the defense line of the Great Wall, Yan Xuelin and they have been fighting alone for so long, and they have not waited for the news from Datong.

A communication artery between Datong and the Great Wall, which was the only way for the Japanese army's logistics transportation line, had been cut off by Li Lingfei and his troops.

In order to open up this life supply line, the Japanese army aimed almost all their heavy weapons at the position that Li Lingfei held firm, the plane roared in the sky, and the aviation * made the soldiers feel terrified to the extreme, and the power was not at all comparable to ordinary howitzers.

As long as there is a gap between battles, Li Lingfei personally goes to the front line and orders the soldiers to dig deep trench bunkers, which is the only thing they can save their lives, especially the Japanese aviation*, the shock wave generated by the explosion is the biggest damage, if the soldiers are exposed to the surface, they are like leaves in a strong wind, which can be blown out for dozens of meters.

"From today onwards, you are no longer recruits, each of you is a hero, the fathers and villagers in your hometown are looking at you, if you relax a little, the little devil will have a little more chance to rush through our position and step into Taihang Mountain, and then your family may face the butcher's knife of the little devil!"

Most of the 5,000 soldiers under Li Lingfei were new recruits, and there were only a handful of veterans, and he had to make the soldiers understand that the battle at this time was not for them alone, but for all the fathers and villagers behind them, and it was their brothers and sisters who did not fall desperately at this time.

"Boom Boom"

The caliber of the Japanese army's artillery is larger than the other, Li Lingfei is very depressed, it is said that the arms hoarded by the little devils have been blown up, why do they still have so many shells, if the Japanese army continues to blow up like this, it is really difficult to say whether they can hold out for two days.

Li Lingfei's headquarters was constantly shaken down by the explosion, and once he impatiently swept the dust off the map, and then picked up the binoculars to look at the formation of the Japanese charge.

After fighting for about half a day, Li Lingfei breathed a sigh of relief, because there were fewer and fewer shells falling on their positions, on the contrary, the fortifications built by the soldiers were getting stronger and stronger, and the battle for half a day also proved the courage of these soldiers, and he no longer needed to worry that these soldiers would run away because they couldn't withstand the pressure.

The Japanese obviously didn't think so, they were still able to charge without shells, because their logistical lifeline was cut off, and if they didn't work hard, they really couldn't hold out.

Obviously, the speed at which the Japanese army consumed supplies was much faster than Li Lingfei and Liu Chundao expected, and it took only one day to bottom out from food to use, and the role of the Japanese planes was no longer bombing but airdropping supplies.

However, the battlefield is so big, there are so many Japanese soldiers, and relying only on empty supplies is really a drop in the bucket, and often the materials delivered by more than a dozen transport planes are not enough for so many Japanese troops to fight a charge.

Moreover, in some local areas, the troops of the New 33rd Army began to launch counterattacks, and although the Japanese did not suffer many losses, the pressure on them was increasing, and if there was a shortage of ammunition on the front line, they would retreat without a fight.
