Although Liao Fan is dead, the important officers of the New 33rd Army are all Liao Fan's cronies, even if he arranges for someone to go to Taihang Mountain to receive the military power of the New 33rd Army, it is estimated that no one will listen to them, and now they still need to wait for an opportunity.

"Bench, I'm reckless!"

"No, the affairs of the new 33rd Army are too complicated, we need to break through from within, by the way, don't we have an office in Taihang Mountain?"

"Yes, the director of the office is called Wang Haoran, and he is a shadow son of our military commander!" Dai Li said.

"He was promoted in rank, and then told him that it was time to move, and as for who to attack, didn't there be a lot of our original soldiers and officers in the new 33rd Army? I don't believe they will be willing to give up on Liao Fan and tell them that as long as things succeed, they will definitely be reused! ”

Chairman Chiang came up with a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and many of the soldiers and officers in the New 33rd Army were prisoners of war of the Nationalist Army rescued by the New 33rd Army, and as long as they moved in secret, I believe they would still be willing to return to the arms of the Chongqing government.

As long as the low-level officers of the New 33rd Army are slowly bought, Chongqing will be arranging a prestigious person to go to the New 33rd Army, which will be enough to replace those officers promoted by Liao Fan of the New 33rd Army.

"It's better to be the chairman!"

"I'll leave this matter to you, remember not to act rashly until you are absolutely sure!"

Although the current situation in Henan is critical, the situation of the new 33rd Army has given Chairman Chiang hope that in China he has finally eliminated an opponent, and although this opponent has just risen, it has to be said that this opponent will pose the greatest threat to him in the future.

Chen Cheng hurried to Chairman Jiang's mansion, just in time to see Dai Li coming out of Chairman Jiang's mansion, the two of them just nodded and smiled, and did not speak. The two of them passed by like this, and Chen Cheng couldn't help but look at Dai Li's back a few more times.

However, at this time, Chen Cheng came to deliver good news, and he didn't care about why Dai Li came here.

"What you said is true?" After hearing Chen Cheng's report, Chairman Jiang couldn't believe it, he had just received information from Dai Li, Liao Fan was dead, and he no longer had any hope that the New 33rd Army would participate in the battle, but Chen Cheng told him that the New 33rd Army had promised to attack the Japanese army in Shanxi.

"It's true, after we had a meeting, I went to the office of the New 33rd Army, and I wanted to ask Liao Fan why he stood by and watched, but I waited for Liao Fan's telegram, and they promised to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Shanxi before noon tomorrow!"

Chen Cheng happily continued: "As long as the New 33rd Army participates in the battle, the situation in Henan is likely to be reversed!" ”

Although Chairman Jiang had a smile on his face, he was not as happy as Chen Cheng, what he was most concerned about now was whether Liao Fan was dead, if Liao Fan really did not die, wouldn't he be happy in vain?

"Are you sure that telegram was sent by Liao Fan himself?"

It was only at this time that Chen Cheng suddenly realized that something was wrong, and according to normal logic, shouldn't Chairman Chiang be more concerned about how many troops the New 33rd Army would send to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Shanxi and where? How can Chairman Chiang care about who sent the telegram.

"The telegram is not signed, but this telegram is indeed from the headquarters of the new 33rd Army in Datong!" Chen Cheng said with a little interest.

Chairman Jiang began to muttered in his heart, since Liao Fan was dead, and such a big thing happened to the New 33rd Army, it should not have arranged troops to continue to attack the Japanese army. Could it be that the officers of the New 33rd Army deliberately released * to confuse them?

Chen Cheng looked at Chairman Jiang suspiciously, and at this time his Chairman Jiang had fallen into deep worry. If Chen Cheng knew at this time that Chairman Jiang was not concerned about the war in Henan, but about Liao Fan's life and death, I don't know how he would feel.

"Commission, should we send a telegram to the soldiers on the front line in Henan?"

Luoyang was besieged, and the morale of the national army on the border of Henan was decadent, and now there was an urgent need for news to boost morale, so that the soldiers could have hope of going down.

"Send a telegram to the defenders of Luoyang in my name, the new 33rd Army has attacked the Japanese army in Shanxi, and our reinforcements have also gone north, and victory must be ours!"

Chairman Chiang understood that what he needed to deal with now was not Liao Fan, but Henan, and as for Liao Fan's affairs, it must be kept secret now, unless the news of Liao Fan's death spread from within the New 33rd Army.

Liao Fan was taken back to the resident hospital, and the three doctors immediately made a comprehensive assessment of Liao Fan's injuries, and then formulated a more detailed surgical plan. As for Fu Hongyu, after seeing Liao Fan's appearance, she washed her face with tears and stayed by Liao Fan's side without leaving.

In order to ensure that the news of Liao Fan's injury was not leaked out, Li Lingfei found Yan Xuelin and asked for more than a dozen soldiers for him, which were specially arranged by Liao Fan's side.

"Brother Fan's surgery plan has been formulated, can you take a look at Lu Liming's injuries?" Li Lingfei said.

When he was in Datong, the doctor also operated on Lu Liming, and Lu Liming's injuries could only be heavier than Liao Fan, not lighter than Liao Fan.

"Let's arrange the two of them in the same ward, which is more conducive to the confidentiality of the news, and it is also conducive to us to monitor their physical condition at any time!" Dr. Tang said to Li Lingfei.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone right away and add a bed here!"

Li Lingfei did a very good job of secrecy, except for a few specific people, no one knew that Liao Fan had been sent back to the station, and the rest of the people thought that Liao Fan was commanding troops to fight against the Japanese army in Datong at this time.

However, Fu Hongyu's state caused some speculation from the doctors, but they did not suspect Liao Fan's injury. And Fu Hongyu made a point of explaining to the doctors that she was not feeling well recently and needed to take a few days off. Of course, they didn't have any objections, since John left, Fu Hongyu worked hard for the hospital, and it was appropriate to rest for a few days if she was unwell.

"Doctor Fu, what do you think of our arrangement?" Several doctors asked Fu Hongyu's opinion, and now that she is here, Fu Hongyu can be regarded as Liao Fan's family.

"It's up to the three of you to do this, and I won't interfere with your treatment plan for him!" Fu Hongyu knows her state very well, if she commands blindly at this time, instead of helping Liao Fan, she will harm Liao Fan.

The three doctors are also the doctors with the highest medical skills here, and Fu Hongyu is also relieved to hand over Liao Fan to them.

"In that case, let's arrange Lu Liming's surgery today, we are observing Brother Fan's situation, if the problem is not big, we will have another operation in the next two days!"

Lu Liming's injuries were the most serious, and the situation was the most urgent, and it was already very delayed, so the three doctors discussed and treated Lu Liming first.

Everything seems to be very normal in the Taihang Mountain station, no one thought that Liao Fan's life was dying at this time, everything seemed to be still developing in an orderly manner, if Liao Fan died, the prosperity of Taihang Mountain was probably going to become a bubble, and gradually disappeared into the big mountain of Taihang Mountain.

After Li Lingfei returned to the headquarters, he sent a telegram to Datong, only four words, everything was normal. After Huang Changsheng got the telegram, his heart gradually began to relax, and now he wants to coordinate everything in the troops, so as not to let outsiders know that there have been great changes in the New 33rd Army, especially the Japanese army.

"Send a telegram back to Chief of Staff Li, and ask him to cooperate with Hu Guoshan's division in the attack on Shanxi as much as possible!"

After Hu Guoshan returned to Pingding, he immediately ordered his troops to go out and besieged Yangquan with a force of 5,000 men, while another 5,000 advanced westward. Since the Japanese army had already transferred a large number of troops to Henan, the troops attacking to the west did not encounter much resistance at all.

There were only some puppet troops in the stronghold, and in just one day, the troops attacking to the west were connected to five county towns. The biggest obstacle encountered by Hu Guoshan's division was that more than 100 Japanese troops and more than 700 puppet troops were defending the county, but the county town was only held for less than two hours before it was breached.

For Hu Guoshan's division, it was not the Japanese army's resistance that delayed their time, but the fact that they continued to accept prisoners and supplies along the way, slowing down the movement of their entire troops.

However, for Hu Guoshan's troops, Yangquan is still a difficult bone to gnaw, since the defeat of the new 33rd Army, Yangquan has become the forefront of the battle between the two armies in Jindong, and Yangquan, which was originally very important, has become the top priority of the Japanese army's defense.

In order to keep Yangquan, the Japanese army captured a lot of strong men in Shanxi to build blockhouses and turrets, especially the periphery of Yangquan, which was covered with * within a mile.

These * formations have become Hu Guoshan's biggest headache, they have no good means of demining, during the day they bombard the minefield with artillery, hoping to detonate as much as possible the * laid by the Japanese army.

But shelling the * array with artillery is not clear about all *, and there are little devil sharpshooters staring at it during the day, so they can only arrange sappers to clear mines a little bit at night. Therefore, Hu Guoshan's progress on Yangquan was slow.

Of course, the Japanese commander in Taiyuan learned that the New 33rd Army was attacking them, but what the Japanese commander did not expect was that the New 33rd Army would react so quickly.

But the commander of the Japanese army in Shanxi did not sit still, and now the national army and the Eighth Route Army in the west of Shanxi have been fighting, so Jinxi does not use much troops to garrison, although this method is to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, but the commander of the little devil still did this, and achieved certain results.

Two armored brigades and an infantry wing of the Japanese army successfully blocked the 5,000 troops of Hu Guoshan's division advancing westward in the field, and fought the most tragic battle between the two sides in the field. The reason why this battle was tragic was all because the two sides misunderstood each other, otherwise such a situation would definitely not have occurred on the battlefield.
