With the arrival of Liu Lang and the Independent Regiment in Jindong, the situation in Hebei continued to deteriorate, and the battle of Shanxi was inevitable.

On September 20, Huang Shaohong, the special envoy of the bald tycoon, flew to Taiyuan, Shanxi, and met many generals of the Eighth Route Army at the Shanxi Hotel, and on the 22nd, accompanied by General Peng, deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, he met with the old man of Shanxi at Feiyanmen Pass. Yan and Huang did not interfere in the use of troops, and as for the guerrilla areas, they had to discuss with the Shanxi Lao Han in Shanxi, but they could make their own decisions in enemy-occupied areas, and the Eighth Route Army also agreed to cooperate with friendly forces in mobile warfare under favorable conditions.

As a result, the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division of the Eighth Route Army went to Jindong to support the upcoming Battle of Niangziguan.

On September 24, the 17th Division of Zhao Shoushan of the Northwest Army was defeated in Baoding and retreated to Jindong, the junction of Hebei and Shanxi.

On October 1, Huang Shaohong, deputy commander of the Second Theater appointed by the bald boss, flew to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to help Shanxi Laohan command the operation in the Niangziguan area.

At this point, the main force of the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army in the Niangziguan area was still on its way to the battlefield, the main force of Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army had not yet arrived, the commander had already arrived, and the rest of the troops participating in the battle were basically in place before the Japanese attack.

Liu Lang also waited for the friendly army he needed most.

At the same time, bad news has also come, contrary to Liu Lang's expectations, the battle of Zhengding and Shijiazhuang, which was supposed to be launched by the Japanese army 10 days later, actually started 8 days ahead of schedule. On October 2, the 20th Division of the Japanese Army led the main force to storm Shijiazhuang, an important town in Hebei.

The Battle of Xinkou, located in the north of Jin, also officially kicked off.

Compared with the time and space in the past, the time was a full week earlier, and the reason for it Liu Lang was unknown now, and when he knew the reason, it was already the time when the Battle of Niangziguan was finished and he moved to another battlefield.

After all, it is because of the relationship between his little butterfly that has traveled through time and space, and the national air force that is fighting hard with the Japanese army in Songhu has an additional "aviation volunteer" equipped with the latest aircraft developed by American cowboys and gentlemen of the Sunset Empire, although it is still at a disadvantage in terms of the number of aircraft, but since the beginning of September, it has been transferred to Dajiaochang Airport, the second largest airport in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after Miqiao Airport. The volunteers, who have gradually become proficient in air combat and have been specially trained by American ace pilots, have cooperated with the Chinese Air Force to strike hard at the arrogant Japanese Air Force several times in a row, so that the sky over Songhu in this time and space is much stronger than in the time and space where Chinese planes have not been seen since October.

The threat from the air is much smaller, and although the huge threat of naval artillery is still there, the losses of the various national forces on the ground are naturally much smaller. The Japanese invaders had already been slapped in the face in September when they had been raising troops in Songhu and had said that China would be destroyed within three months, and at this time, let alone March, the Japanese high command even pessimistically believed that it would be good to be able to finish the battle of Songhu within three months.

The fact is that even without these 150 advanced aircraft and without these 200 skilled volunteer pilots, the Battle of Songhu lasted for three months before the Chinese army began to retreat. That was the result of the Chinese army's 300,000 dead and wounded. 750,000 people participated in the battle, with more than 300,000 casualties and a casualty rate of more than 40 percent, but they were not defeated, and they were defeated only under the erroneous orders of the high command.

The Chinese soldiers, with a defeat, proved their determination to defend their homeland and country. Defeated again and again, defeated again and again, and never gave up.

Not to mention that in just three months, the Chinese battlefield, which the Japanese high command could not have imagined, trapped their 2 million elite army in the mud for eight years.

A China that chooses to resist the whole people, even if it does not have the two big fat bombs of the American cowboys, may not end the war in eight years, but in ten or even twelve years or more, it will also usher in an all-out counteroffensive. In the later period, Japan's financial resources and resources were exhausted, and even the bronze statue of "Loyal Dog Hachiko" they erected was dismantled by them and put into a furnace to make bullets and put into the Chinese battlefield.

The Japanese high command, which had suffered a major setback in the Songhu battlefield, had already invested nearly 200,000 troops, but the Chinese army was still flowing in from all over China, endlessly. Therefore, in order to allow China to divide its troops into the northern battlefield, the high command ordered the North China invading army to quickly start the battle of Shanxi, which had been preparing for many days.

On the one hand, nearly 100,000 people of the First Army with the Fifth Division led by Seishiro Itagaki as the backbone attacked Xinkou, a key place in northern Shanxi, while on the other hand, nearly 30,000 people with the 20th Division of Kawagishi Bunzaburo as the main force captured Shijiazhuang and attacked Niangzi Pass in eastern Jindong, attacking Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, on both sides, forcing the old Han in Shanxi to surrender, forcing the Chinese command to transfer troops to northern China, and relieving the pressure on the southeast battlefield.

Of course, this is what Liu Lang found out later. At the beginning of October, he finally met with Major General Chen, the current first commander of the Eighth Route Army, who had arrived in the Niangziguan area, and the future General Chen of the Republic.

Liu Lang knew that if Lieutenant General Liu of the 129th Division was known as the "God of War" in later generations, then this was the first general under the command of the God of War. As a cadet of the first phase of the Jiangmen Whampoa Military Academy, the life of the future General Chen of the Republic can be described as gorgeous.

In terms of military merits, General Chen may not be as good as General Su, who ranks first among generals, but in terms of his all-round talent and his conduct in the world, there is no one in the entire Republic of China. Just thinking about the fact that he was admired by the top leaders of both parties gives a glimpse of it.

Since the bald boss launched the counter-revolutionary White Terror, the blood of revolutionary martyrs stained in his hands is unknown, because the high-level surnamed Gu betrayed him, and General Chen, who was in charge of the underground work of the Red Party, also fell into his hands. Otherwise, the republic would be without such a talented general.

It would not be surprising if it was only the teacher and principal who saved his life, after all, the bald headmaster was also unwilling to bear the infamy of ingratitude. This is because he has been the person in charge of the underground work of the Red Party for a long time and is active in the white area, and it is inevitable that he will be encountered by the senior generals of the national army, and one of the three heroes of Huangpu is famous enough, and there are really not many people who don't know much, but miraculously not many people want to use this person's head to ask for credit, and after failing to win over, they mostly turn a blind eye.

On the side of the Red Party, this is even more powerful, from the beginning of the revolution, Zhou Gong relied on the humerus as one of the heads of the Red Special Branch, was caught by the bald principal and then escaped and successfully went to the Soviet District to participate in the strategic transfer of 10,000 miles as the head of the cadre regiment, Liu Lang's ten red instructors can be said to be his students, until he was appointed as the commander of the first main brigade under the command of the "God of War", in the entire red general sequence, he can also be ranked in the top fifteen. In fact, he also ranked fourth in the ranking of generals of the future republic, and later personally prepared for the establishment of the Red Army Engineering University.

Such a resume has made anyone feel that the talent is amazing when they see it, and it is an absolute idol-like existence. However, in Liu Lang's view, most people in the world see his strengths in underground work and his ability to do educational work as a principal, but they ignore his most outstanding military talent, and even think that his fame is far greater than his military achievements.

Liu Lang knows that this person's military talent is the top among the two parties of the National Red Party today. For example, in the Battle of Niangzi Pass, although the 129th Division was not as famous as the 115th Division that annihilated thousands of Japanese troops in the first battle of Pingxingguan, but the tactics of the two battles and seven villages, turning the little devils' flickering regiments and annihilating nearly 400 Japanese soldiers are convincing.

In charge of command, there is the "God of the Army" Liu Shuai, and the former is General Chen.

On this morning, Liu Lang went to the 386 Brigade station and met the idol-level future general of the republic.

The 386 Brigade had already been informed that the colonel of the Independent Regiment of the 22nd Group Army would come to the brigade headquarters to meet with the brigade commander, and the deputy brigade commander Chen Major General would greet him 20 miles away. In the face of another future general of the republic, Liu Lang did not dare to slack off, and invited Major General Chen to go with him.

The red general, who could have a large ocean horse to walk on his behalf, was so amazed that he even forgot to ask what the 20-car three-jumper convoy was pulling, so he got on the car and experienced the "extreme speed" of the "Rolls-Royce" three-jumper that was suddenly advancing on the narrow mountain road.

Although this is probably the first time that the future general of the Republic has experienced the "Rolls-Royce" car, it is also an experience that the future general of the Republic will regret.

Because, the two guard squads in charge of Liu Lang's guards only took five cars, and there were ten Kela, which were full of materials, and they were the kind of materials that were enough to make people have a heart attack, and his surprise was that it was only until the brigade headquarters.

This is simply unforgivable.

At this point, he really didn't compare to his boss, and when he saw Liu Tuanzuo, he didn't have time to salute each other, and the first sentence was: "Are the ten cars without people a gift?" Hurry up, come to a company, and move it for Lao Tzu. ”

。。。。。。

This is not to take Colonel Liu as an outsider!
