Chapter 602: The Current Situation
Clear-sighted people know that although the whole of China is now standing on the anti-Japanese united front, everyone in this private force has their own plans in their hearts. The little devils haven't been driven away yet, and some people can't help but do it, how will they choose between these forces when the little devils are driven away?
Although it has gradually become clear on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and China's future is still in a dark state, even if Liao Fan and the New 33rd Army do not consider this matter, there are many people in China who are staring at what China should do after the war.
"Liao Fan, this little rabbit cub really has no conscience!" Chen Cheng thought for a moment, and then said with a smile.
Chen Cheng's complaint broke the embarrassment of everyone present. Liao Fan is on the battlefield behind enemy lines, he is just a pure soldier, and everyone present is different, they are deeply trapped in the huge political whirlpool of Chongqing, he is no longer a pure soldier, of course there are many things to consider, unlike Liao Fan, who only needs to fight the little devil wholeheartedly.
The establishment of the new 33rd Army was won by Chen Cheng for Liao Fan and them from the very beginning, and now Liao Fan has broken China's political balance with the military, and the political mess has to be cleaned up by their group of old guys, so it can only be said that Liao Fan has no conscience.
"Kensheng, what do you think?"
Chairman Jiang admired Bai Chongxi more and more, and when he went to Guilin, he always took Bai Chongxi with him and never left him, and he had to ask Bai Chongxi's opinion on many military matters.
From the beginning, after Bai Chongxi knew about Liao Fan, he knew very well that there would be today's step, but he couldn't do anything, north of the Yellow River, there was no longer a formed national army, and he even discussed with Dai Li whether to carry out the assassination mission against Liao Fan, but Chairman Jiang never agreed, so he gave up.
At present, the New 33rd Army is in full swing behind enemy lines, and north of the Yellow River, only the New 33rd Army and Liao Fan are recognized, and the Chongqing Government is not recognized.
Bai Chongxi looked at Chairman Jiang, but he didn't speak.
"If you have something to say, no one dares to spread the issues discussed here today!" Seeing that Bai Chongxi was hesitating, Chairman Jiang ordered Bai Chongxi to directly state his thoughts without any estimates.
"Commission, I still stick to my original method!"
Bai Chongxi still kept a hand at the meeting, he didn't want everyone to know what his method was, because as long as he left here, someone would definitely reveal the news to Liao Fan, and Liao Fan would be careful in the future, and it would be difficult for him to succeed in his plan.
After Chairman Jiang heard Bai Chongxi's words, his brows furrowed, of course he understood what Bai Chongxi's method was. Everyone present looked at Bai Chongxi and Chairman Jiang with a confused expression, because they didn't know what the two of them had discussed in private.
Everyone was silent, some people were speculating about Bai Chongxi's method, some people were secretly happy that Liao Fan was going to be unlucky, some people were in a state of mind that nothing to do with themselves, and some people were full of worries......
However, everyone present knew that there was only one person who could call the shots in this matter, and that was Chairman Chiang. If Chairman Chiang agreed, none of them could stop him.
Bai Chongxi's method seemed to be very attractive to Chairman Chiang, but Chairman Chiang did not discuss Bai Chongxi's method with others in front of so many people, but ordered everyone to leave.
Chairman Chiang had a very complicated mind: As far as China's anti-Japanese situation is concerned, the existence of the New 33rd Army can relieve a lot of pressure on the frontal battlefield, but the existence of the New 33rd Army has also lowered the status of the National Army in the hearts of the common people.
He couldn't bear to attack Liao Fan, Liao Fan's talent in military affairs was obvious, once Liao Fan died, then the new 33rd Army would have no leader behind the enemy, and with the passage of time, it would be consumed by the Japanese army little by little, until the New 33rd Army was completely annihilated.
If the New 33rd Army disappears north of the Yellow River, it means that China's War of Resistance against Japan may last for many more years.
Everyone wants peace, not war, and Chairman Chiang is not a war madman, he also wants the huge China to calm down, instead of all young people throwing pen to paper and throwing their good youth into the Rong brigade.
However, in order to maintain the absolute rule of the Kuomintang in China, Chairman Chiang had no choice but to try Bai Chongxi's method, because he had no choice.
At noon, Dai Li was called to Chairman Chiang's official residence by the attendants from the secret passage, and no one only knew that Dai Li had come to Chairman Chiang's study at this time, and even the first lady did not know that there was anyone in the study.
"Yunong, can you guarantee that there will be no mistakes in this matter?"
Attacking Liao Fan is a big deal, and once the action fails, the consequences may be greater than the trouble of the little devil's attack, and Chairman Jiang has to consider the result after the failure of the matter.
"Commission, I will personally plan and arrange this matter, even if it is wrong, Liao Fan will not suspect us!"
Assassination of this kind of thing, the probability of failure is very high, especially for important personnel like Liao Fan who are protected by elite soldiers around him, and the probability of success is very low. At that time, it was not only the national army and the family who wanted Liao Fan's life on Chinese soil, but also the little devil, even if this matter failed, and it was pushed on the head of the little devil, Liao Fan had no evidence.
"We're already on a risk, hope you don't get me in any trouble!"
"Don't worry, even if something happens, I will bear all the responsibility for this matter in the end!"
The assassin was sent out by Dai Li, even if Liao Fan pointed the evidence to Chongqing in the end, but in the end, Dai Li could have taken care of everything. After all, the biggest boss of the Military Control Bureau is Dai Li.
Chairman Jiang did not give an order, and the thousands of agents under Dai Li's men began to prepare for the assassination of Liao Fan.
After a war, you will always be left with a mess full of holes, and you can completely destroy a city in ten days or eight days, but it may take a year or two to rebuild a city.
In addition to leaving two regiments on the Western Front to prevent the little devils from counterattacking, the troops participating in the battle have all withdrawn into Datong.
The first thing the army did when it withdrew into Datong was to recruit troops, even if everything in Datong City had not yet been restored, but the new 33rd Army still needed soldiers to carry out the next stage of the offensive mission.
At this time, Li Weimin and Cun Qi both arrived at Liao Fan's headquarters, and Liao Fan did not punish Cun Qi for solving the matter of the prisoners. Because this is on the front line, it is possible to fight at any time, and punishing a senior general at this time is easy to cause a change in the morale of the troops.
Since entering Datong, Cunqi has been in a bad mood, because the two battalions rescued have lost two-thirds, and even the rescued prisoners of war have lost half, and the materials they have captured have also been consumed.
Although they successfully broke through, this was a typical example of failure in the new 33rd Army. As the main responsible person, Cun Qi has not been punished by Liao Fan, and Cun Qi himself is not happy.
On the contrary, it was Li Weimin's success, they captured nearly 10,000 troops of the little devils who surrendered, which was not only a military success, but also a huge deterrent to the little devils in Shanxi.
"Li Weimin will not his tail if he wins the battle, this battle is not over yet, the most important task of the troops at present is to rest and recuperate, let the troops recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and we will continue the next stage of the offensive!"
In addition to wanting to open up the line of contact with the Seventh Army in the Suiyuan area and cut off the route of the Japanese army in Suiyuan, Liao Fan's main purpose was to equip the Mongols and the Soviets.
After arranging tasks for Li Weimin and Cun Qi, Liao Fan quietly enjoyed the quiet time in Datong City.
Huang Changsheng's side has made progress, and the Kang family in Datong does have a connection with the little devil, but based on the words of the little devil alone, it can't be used as evidence, and they can't do anything to the Kang family in Datong.
The most important thing is that in the past few days, the Kang family has worked hard in Datong City, and has done their best to help the New 33rd Army restore everything in Datong City, but they have no dissent.
However, Liao Fan did not relax his vigilance against the Kang family because of this, after all, the people of the Kang family had already been named in Liao Fan's heart, and the superficial things alone could not eliminate Liao Fan's vigilance.
Datong is developing in a good direction, but Jingcheng is developing in a bad direction, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, Ma Wanzhong's division has suffered heavy casualties, and even the troops in Jingcheng City have no reserves, Ma Wanzhong has mobilized all the troops that can be mobilized.
As night fell again, the Japanese army died down, and the soldiers finally had a chance to breathe.
During the day, Ma Wanzhong had already learned that Hu Guoshan had led his troops into battle. But the current situation is still so grim, which makes Ma Wanzhong feel very uncomfortable.
He is fully capable of changing the current passive situation, but because of his arrogance, he missed the best opportunity and made a wrong step, so on the battlefield, Ma Wanzhong became more and more passive in the Jingcheng region.
Ma Wanzhong has calculated the troops in his hands over and over again, but he has never calculated that he still has a new force in his hands.
The mine protection team is a regular army that the regular army forgets, although Ma Wanzhong attaches great importance to Shen Zhengwen, but at this critical time, he still does not think of the mine protection team. Because in the eyes of everyone, there is no way for the mine guard team to participate in such a large battle, and the mine guard team is not well armed and trained.
However, it is often not the weapons and equipment in the hands that win the war, but the wisdom of the people, after all, the people who participate in the main body of the war.
