"It seems that the Japanese army has realized your rise, and this is to tie you up!"

Li Zongren saw through the Japanese army's plan at a glance, and of course it was not ruled out that the Japanese army really wanted to eat the New 33rd Army at the beginning, but Okamura Ningji found that eating the New 33rd Army was an unrealistic problem, so he changed the plan to control the development of the New 33rd Army, and then tied up the New 33rd Army step by step.

"We can't talk about tying up and killing, what I'm worried about is the people, the people in the Jingcheng area support us very much, but because of our new 33rd Army, we can't go back to home, I Liao Fan feels uncomfortable, and the time for spring planting is coming, if the land is barren, the people in this area will not have a year's rations!"

The people's inability to live and work in peace and contentment is Liao Fan's biggest heart disease, and the people's inability to live in peace can easily cause many concurrent problems, such as public security problems, people can burn, kill and loot in order to fill their stomachs.

"Hmm...... Commander Liao cares about the people, and his heart is commendable, but although Taihang Mountain is not thousands of miles away from us, it is not too close, and there are enemy-occupied areas of the Japanese army, so what can our fifth theater of war do to help? ”

Li Zongren couldn't imagine what he could do to help the New 33rd Army, and it was obviously impossible to send troops to support the New 33rd Army.

"Henan! Southern Henan is a springboard for the Japanese army to attack the Fifth Theater of Operations, and it is also an important barrier for Wuhan, if southern Henan is recaptured, there will be one less threat to the Fifth Theater, and for the Japanese army, General Li's troops can directly threaten Wuhan! ”

Of course, Liao Fan will not directly let the troops of the Fifth War Zone to support Taihang Mountain, after all, this is an unrealistic problem, but it is still possible to target the Japanese army in southern Henan.

"Commander Liao, do you know how many Japanese troops there are in Hubei and southern Henan? If we could recapture southern Henan, we would have done it a long time ago, but would we have waited until now? The deputy commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater said to Liao Fan.

"In order to attack us, the Japanese army continues to draw troops from the rear, and the Japanese army in Henan has no more than 50,000 people, and although the Japanese army in Wuhan has a lot of troops, they dare not easily support southern Henan, after all, there are still 500,000 central troops in Hubei eyeing Wuhan!"

Liao Fan began to analyze the situation around southern Henan, whether it was the Japanese army or other forces, Liao Fan said word for word, which made the senior officers in Li Zongren's command feel deep admiration for Liao Fan.

None of them could have imagined that Liao Fan would be able to memorize so much information in his head, although these seniors also remembered about the same, but they were not as detailed as Liao Fan.

"Commander Liao, what are you doing with this brain, can all these forces remember?" A lieutenant general in the command looked at Liao Fan in disbelief.

"I'm just an oil seller, and I'm only familiar with it!"

Of course, Liao Fan didn't have the ability to forget, when he had nothing to do in his headquarters, he just stared at the map to study the forces of all sides, and the troops that had been mobilized by the Japanese army could be remembered day after day.

"Commander Liao, I also deeply admire your memory ability, but with the ability of our Fifth Theater, in addition to the troops left behind, the troops that can be gathered are not enough to launch an attack on the Japanese army in southern Henan!"

Although the combat effectiveness of the Gui army is very strong, there is still a gap with the Japanese army in terms of weapons and equipment, and they are not sure of victory when fighting with the Japanese army in southern Henan.

"Don't forget that there is also our new 33rd Army! Although we can't directly attack the Japanese army in southern Henan, we can do it against the Japanese army in northern Henan! According to Okamura Ningji's temper, he will definitely not directly transfer troops from the direction of Hebei into Henan, then only from the southern Henan region to support northern Henan, so that if you are not sure of victory, I Liao Fan looks up to you too much! ”

"Commander Liao, your use of the agitation method doesn't work for us here, we people have done it with Lao Jiang at the beginning, and we have also fought with the Dian army, and we have done a lot of battles with little devils, all of them came from the pile of dead people, and we never relied on the agitation method to fight!"

Liao Fan smiled embarrassedly, in this pile of human spirits, he is just a rookie, no matter what crooked eyes he moves, he will be pierced by them.

"What do you Guijun want? The territory, now the territory is Chairman Jiang, I can't give you anything, money? I, Liao Fan, am not a local tyrant, and I have no money for you! ”

Liao Fan is really poor, the New 33rd Army has nothing, and it all depends on the soldiers' hard work to get to where it is today.

"Commander Liao, you don't look down on us, but you also look down on our Gui army too much, from the Battle of Taierzhuang to the Battle of Suizao, our Gui Army has never fought for power!"

Liao Fan's words angered some of the generals of the Gui army, they just wanted to fight the little devils after leaving home for several years, and never thought about competing with others for anything, and now Liao Fan talked to them about money and territory, of course, it touched their bottom line.

"Commander Liao, don't think that only your new 33rd Army has national righteousness, since the Anti-Japanese War in our Gui Army, every soldier has reimbursed the country with the intention of dying! Commander Liao's words are insulting our Gui Jun's children! ”

"Okay, I didn't come in vain this trip, even if you don't help, I, Liao Fan, can know such a group of soldiers with national integrity and national integration!" Liao Fan clenched his fists at the generals of the Gui Army in the headquarters and expressed his respect for them.

"Commander Liao, you are really going to fool, you want to get caught and indulge, if you can't do it, you will come again, my brothers have fallen into your trap!" Li Zongren broke Liao Fan's mind with one sentence, "Helping can be helped, not for anything else, just for the hundreds of thousands of people in the Jingcheng area!" ”

"But ......"

"But what, as long as General Li proposes it, I, Liao Fan, will definitely promise you!" Liao Fan thought to himself that he didn't worry about you making conditions, as long as there were conditions.

"Our troops need heavy artillery, the Japanese army has built a large number of fortifications in southern Henan, although we have artillery, but the range and power are far from enough compared to the artillery of the little devils......"

"I understand, twenty legal 150* guns plus one base number of shells, this is the military expenses of our new 33rd Army to ask your army for help!" Of course, there is a price to pay for finding someone to help, and there is no way to do it, but fortunately, these cannons did not fall into the hands of the Central Army, otherwise in the future, these cannons may have to be called on whose heads.

"Twenty doors?"

Everyone looked at Liao Fan in disbelief, but you must know that in their Gui Army, the 150* cannon does not mean that they can take it out if they want to, and Liao Fan opened his mouth and gave them twenty guns, no wonder the combat effectiveness of the New 33rd Army is so strong, the little devils have no way to take them, it turns out that the New 33rd Army is really strong, with these good things to support it, who fights who is really not necessarily.

"Is Commander Liao serious?"

"General Li, if you are afraid that I will regret it, I can take your people back this time, and then they will directly take a detour to transport the cannon back!"

Although there is an enemy-occupied area between Taihang Mountain and Laohekou, after Shanxi is recovered, it is completely possible to take a long detour and then pull things back.

"Hahaha, Commander Liao is really generous, with this batch of artillery, I dare not say that all the Japanese troops in southern Henan will be wiped out, but it is still possible to contain the Japanese army!" Li Zongren smiled, twenty heavy artillery pieces are not a joke, with these twenty heavy guns, they can improve their firepower a lot.

"In that case, I hope we have a happy cooperation!"

For the sake of the Jingcheng area, Liao Fan can't take care of so much, compared to them directly using the troops to fight hard, these twenty heavy artillery pieces can be exchanged for smaller casualties in the troops, and Liao Fan is also very happy.

"Happy cooperation, since Commander Liao is here, stay here for a few more days, I will have a banquet tonight, and one of those present will be counted as one, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

As long as the two sides agree on a good time and launch an attack on the Japanese army within the specified time, whether or not they can take southern Henan, as long as the Japanese troops on the periphery of Taihang Mountain begin to retreat, the two sides can withdraw their troops.

The dinner was not luxurious, after all, during the war years, the soldiers were already very satisfied with a bite to eat, of course, Liao Fan did not have any requirements for food, but under the persuasion of several generals of the Gui army, Liao Fan still drank a little red wine.

"Commander Liao, if you can drive the little devil out of southern Henan this time, then the people in southern Henan will remember your Commander Liao, if there is no arrangement from your Commander Liao, the people of southern Henan don't know when they will be able to get rid of the little devil and see the light of day!"

At the banquet, some people inevitably patted Liao Fan's ass, after all, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the twenty cannons are very tempting.

Liao Fan was very unaccustomed to such a scene, he ate a little food casually and was full, and then chatted with Li Zongren about military issues, and Li Zongren also admired Liao Fan's military thoughts.

"No wonder the New 33rd Army was able to develop at such a broken time, your Commander Liao really contributed a lot!"

"It's easier said than done, everything is easier said than done, in today's China, what suits us is the best, and blindly lowering our heads to learn from others may be the most unsuitable for us!"

Liao Fan knows that whether it is military or economic, what he is most afraid of is blind imitation, and then buckle it on his head without thinking, which often harms others and himself.

"Well, Commander Liao, I don't like to hear something, it's okay to talk to me about your thoughts, but people like you are often squeezed out by people of various forces, if there is no new 33rd Army, although you have various military talents, but not many forces dare to accept you!"

Li Zongren is right, according to Liao Fan's character, there will definitely be a large number of people in any force who regard him as the number one competitor, and without the support of his own army, this kind of person often dies miserably!
