The New 33rd Army has the ability to take on the responsibility of maintaining one side on its own, especially after thwarting the Japanese offensive, Liao Fan is more confident, Taihang Mountain can already be said to be rock-solid, not anyone can come in if they want to, so he doesn't need the help provided by the Eighth Route Army.

However, most of the materials of the Eighth Route Army relied on being captured from the enemy, and its self-sufficiency ability was very poor, especially in terms of weapons and ammunition, and now the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army were still in a confrontation, and because of the sudden rise of the New 33rd Army, the Eighth Route Army had fewer opportunities to fight with the Japanese army, and most of the battles with the Japanese army relied on guerrillas behind enemy lines.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, the Eighth Route Army really wants to intervene, and then get some weapons, ammunition and medicine to go back to live a better life.

"By the way, what do you think of Taiyuan?" Liao Fan suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Political Commissar Liu.

"Taiyuan?" At first, Political Commissar Liu was still puzzled, but thinking of what had just happened, he suddenly understood what Liao Fan meant, "This depends on the arrangement of the superiors, and I can't call the shots myself!" ”

"I'll ask someone to send a letter to your superiors, I don't care what they decide, but that one named Ding Yuan had better not appear in my field of vision!"

Liao Fan regarded Political Commissar Liu as a friend, he didn't want to hide himself in front of Political Commissar Liu, he really didn't like the one named Ding Yuan, not just because Ding Yuan wrote a few words in the newspaper to make the New 33rd Army fall into political passivity, but Ding Yuan was too ambitious, but he didn't have the ability yet. With ambition and ability, Liao Fan will inevitably admire him, but this kind of person who steps on allies to climb up will definitely not become a real ally.

Political Commissar Liu smiled awkwardly again, he didn't expect Liao Fan to reject Ding Yuan so much, but Political Commissar Liu still couldn't promise anything to Liao Fan: "Thank you Brother Liao for your love, I really can't be the master!" ”

"Okay, I'm really going to leave this time!"

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, China has been oppressed by Western powers, and China has been torn apart because of this.

And the rise of the new 33rd Army will inevitably move some people's cakes, the Eighth Route Army Chen Division Commander who was originally stationed in Taihang Mountain withdrew from Taihang Mountain, and now they are fighting hard with the Jin Sui Army, which is also a matter of no way, the new 33rd Army needs to grow, so it needs more territory to develop itself. The rise of every new power inevitably means the demise of an old power.

Regardless of whether there is news from the Eighth Route Army, Liao Fan will also make a move against the Jin Sui Army, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if the Jin Sui Army is not solved this time, when the Jin Sui Army eases up in the future, it will inevitably be difficult to get along with the New 33rd Army, since they have begun to contact the Japanese army, Liao Fan will naturally not be soft.

"Inform Xiao Zhou in Chongqing and Chief of Staff Li in Taiyuan, and let them announce the matter of the Jin Sui army's collaboration with the enemy!" Liao Fan said to the telegraph officer.

"But we don't have evidence, so will Jin Suijun say that we framed them?" Cun Qi asked after hearing Liao Fan's arrangement.

"There is no need for evidence, what the people want is not evidence, what they want is why we are doing it with Jin Suijun! I want to say it! The Jin Sui army collaborated with the enemy, the existing Japanese bombardment, and then they invaded our defense area to attack our barracks, these two things are evidence together! ”

The people in Taiyuan knew very well that the Japanese bombers first bombed the barracks and important defense areas of the New 33rd Army, and then heard the sound of gunfire at night.

Of course, many of them were small newspapers that followed the trend and deliberately exaggerated the facts for their own interests, but after the incident of the Jin Suijun collaborating with the enemy was exposed, not only the Jin Suijun was shaken up and down, but even Chairman Jiang couldn't believe that there could be such a thing after hearing it.

"Call Yan Baichuan, I'm going to ask him if it's true! He Liao Fan won't make something out of nothing! ”

Chairman Jiang also learned about Liao Fan through two contacts with Liao Fan, Liao Fan will not be the kind of person who makes something out of nothing, and Liao Fan must have been caught by Liao Fan in collaborating with the enemy, so Liao Fan refused to show mercy to Jin Suijun's subordinates, otherwise according to Liao Fan's character, he would never shoot at his own people.

However, how could Yan Laoxi admit that he collaborated with the enemy, even if he did, he would let his subordinates carry this black cauldron, such as his chief of staff, anyway, now his chief of staff is no longer alive or dead, there is no witness, even if the New 33rd Army has physical evidence, what can they do, and he has no contact with the Japanese, everything is arranged by the chief of staff.

Chairman Chiang is such a shrewd person, although he does not have much military achievements, but he is still very perceptive politically, and after a few words with Yan Laoxi on the phone, he is sure that Yan Laoxi has contact with the Japanese, but Chairman Chiang did not directly say it, and is still hinting that no matter what Yan Laoxi is, he cannot admit that he is killed in the matter of collaborating with the enemy, otherwise Chairman Chiang will not be able to save him.

The matter of collaborating with the enemy was just the first counterattack launched by Liao Fan against Yan Laoxi.

On Liu Liao Jundong's side, he had already put back some of the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army, these soldiers all had families in Shanxi, and in order to ensure their safety, the New 33rd Army moved them all to the defense area of the New 33rd Army, of course, in order to better control them.

The propaganda of these soldiers also played a great role, and the local people began to believe that the New 33rd Army was innocent, and more and more people believed that the Jin Sui Army collaborated with the enemy.

Yan Laoxi also panicked when he learned that public opinion was still one-sided, although he had done a lot of work, but he also knew what things he had propagated, none of which were true, and these lies were easy to see, after all, the battle that day took place in the defense area of the New 33rd Army, and many people knew.

"Framed, it's all framed! Tell the newspaper that the New 33rd Army is framing us! "Yan Laoxi still wants to fight his last strength.

However, before the Jin Suijun could print the newspaper, the Eighth Route Army issued a statement, in which they listed the frequent frictions between the Jin Suijun and the Eighth Route Army in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, resolutely supported all the actions of the New 33rd Army, and apologized to the New 33rd Army for what had happened.

The solidarity of the Eighth Route Army was a fatal blow to the Jin Suijun, and Yan Laoxi, who had just read the newspaper, knew that all their arrangements were now redundant, so he began to remove himself from this matter, and then deducted all the charges on the disappeared chief of staff, and then announced that he did not know.

However, the new 33rd Army did not plan to let go of the Jin Sui Army, Liao Fan knew that he would be killed if he beat the dog, otherwise he would be bitten back, and he would be injured.

Under Liao Fan's order, Liu Chundao's troops directly drove the Jin Sui army out of Taiyuan, and the troops advanced all the way to the west, as long as they encountered the Jin Sui army that dared to resist, they were eliminated on the spot.

Yan Laoxi knew that Liao Fan was taking advantage of the fermentation of this matter, and the New 33rd Army had the advantage of public opinion to squeeze them out first, so that they would not dare to take military action against the New 33rd Army at this time, otherwise they would do it at this time, but the common people would not be able to pass this hurdle.

He began to regret that he had played the worst hand, the Jin Sui army except Fu Yisheng's Seventh Group Army, there were still more than 100,000 troops left, these hundreds of thousands of troops were forced to be compressed by Li Weimin's troops of more than 30,000 people to the Luliang area, and finally in order to completely tie up the Jin Sui army, Liu Chundao simply left only 5,000 troops in Taiyuan, and the other troops were sent to the junction of Taiyuan and Luliang area.

In the end, Liao Fan still did not drive out the Jin Sui army, after all, more than 100,000 soldiers were Chinese, and they only obeyed Yan Laoxi's orders.

"The Luliang area is not rich, and they can't afford to support so many troops of the Jin Sui Army, so let them fend for themselves in Luliang!" Liao Fan sighed, Jin Suijun is afraid that it will go downhill from now on, and there will be no chance to regroup and shock Shanxi.

Maybe this is Yan Laoxi's best destination, he doesn't have to go to the battlefield anymore, and he doesn't have to see bloodshed and sacrifice anymore.

The New 33rd Army regained control of most areas of Shanxi, and even the Eighth Route Army did not have a chance to intervene in these places, but Ding Yuan was transferred out of Taiyuan, and Political Commissar Liu set up the Eighth Route Army Office in Taiyuan, and all the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan were evacuated, leaving only the troops to defend the office. The proprietress also moved into Taiyuan, and Chongqing also began to set up its own office in Taiyuan.

Peace has been restored in Taiyuan, and there is no longer a tense military confrontation, which is really peaceful for the people of Taiyuan.

With the Jin Sui army into the Luliang area, due to the gradual supply of all expenses such as military salaries and military rations, a large number of deserters appeared in the Jin Sui army, some of them went north to the Suiyuan area to join the Seventh Army, and some of them went home and lived their own lives incognito, of course, some people have admired the new 33rd Army for a long time and directly defected to the New 33rd Army.

In just two months, the Jin Sui army that followed Yan Laoxi had less than 30,000 troops left.

In the past two months, the Japanese troops in the Hebei direction have been frequently harassed by the special operations divisions of the New 33rd Army, the rear of the Japanese army is empty, there are few troops on the important communication lines, and the important communication lines of the Japanese army from south to north have been paralyzed under the attacks of the New 33rd Army.

Okamura was so overwhelmed by the troops that appeared behind them that he wanted to withdraw his troops, but the New 33rd Army was eyeing them, and fighting broke out almost every day on both sides, dragging their troops very tired.
