"Brother Jing, don't you want to return to Zhongtiao Mountain?" Yan Laoxi doesn't want to sell off with He Yingqin now, Shanxi is his biggest interest, even greater than Chairman Jiang's, and the person who is most anxious about Shanxi is Yan Laoxi.

"The commissioner said, I only obey the commission's orders!" He Yingqin naturally understood that the military power in his hands was given by Chairman Jiang, and the defeat at Zhongtiao Mountain could be called a humiliating battle in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. He understood that this was the trust that the commission had placed in him, and all he had to do was to be worthy of that trust.

"It's okay for your brother not to talk officially? In addition to you and me, there is no third person here, Zhongtiao Mountain is the gateway to Henan and Shaanxi, if it is controlled by the new 33rd Army, Luoyang is the fat on the side of their pillows, and the combat effectiveness of the troops guarding Tongguan is far inferior to the new 33rd Army. ”

Yan Laoxi is not wrong at all, if Liao Fan really wants to, all this will happen, there is no Jin Sui army in China, and the central army may only have half of the southwest of the country.

"Brother Baichuan! Chairman Chiang has already said that the New 33rd Army has made meritorious contributions to the country and the nation, what else can I do? Could it be that Brother Baichuan wants me to attack the meritorious New 33rd Army? You have fallen into my unjust situation! ”

"Besides, the commission has already arranged for you to go to Taihang Mountain to negotiate with the new 33rd Army, what are you worried about?" He Yingqin really wanted to go back to Zhongtiao Mountain, he was more like completely solving Liao Fan and his New 33rd Army, and returning back the insults he received in Taihang Mountain ten times and a hundred times. However, he must obey Chairman Chiang's orders, otherwise he will not even have a chance to take revenge in the future.

He Yingqin has gone all the way to the present in the army, and he understands very well that this is the pinnacle of his military career, and he will compete for a position with Chairman Chiang when he is going up, and when he does not have absolute strength, he cannot expose any of his thoughts, even if he is a little dissatisfied, and now all he can do is obey and absolutely obey Chairman Chiang's orders.

No matter what Yan Laoxi says now, he can't be moved, if he has to take another step forward in the future, these troops in his hands are his most important bargaining chips, without these bargaining chips, he may not even be as good as an ordinary person.

On the other hand, Yan Laoxi, he did not live in a political dye vat like Chongqing, from the beginning of the Beiyang government to the present, the old warlords declined, the new warlords rose, and finally to the period of the War of Resistance against Japan, the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese Liu Xiang died of illness, the Gui army and the Yunnan army also left their base camps, only the Jin Sui army is only one step away from his hometown, he Yan Laoxi has no ambition to dominate, as long as he guards his one acre and three points of land in Shanxi to be a soil emperor.

But now that the New Thirty-Third Army has emerged, there is an extra hungry wolf on the edge of his one-acre and three-third of land, so how can he be a soil emperor with peace of mind. Yan Laoxi finally came to Chongqing and wanted Chairman Jiang to help him think of a way, even if he was to give up part of Shanxi's interests to the Central Army after he was completely in charge of Shanxi.

Unexpectedly, after a meeting, he would go to Taihang Mountain to discuss with Liao Fan, if he could discuss with Liao Fan, why did he come to Chongqing, was it just for a good name?

"Brother Baichuan, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I don't believe that the strength of the new 33rd Army alone can control Shanxi and the entire Taihang Mountain!" He Yingqin saw Yan Laoxi's anxious appearance, so he had to comfort Yan Laoxi and told him not to be too anxious to get angry.

"Where is he Liao Fan an army, the strength of a division under his command is more than the strength of a reorganized army of mine, and his Liao Fan troops add up to 100,000 people!" Yan Laoxi's intelligence is very accurate, although it is not as exaggerated as he said, but the strength of Hu Guoshan's division alone can indeed catch up with the strength of their army.

Moreover, after Hu Guoshan captured Taiyuan, the materials in his hands were very rich, and after he posted a recruitment notice in Taiyuan and the surrounding areas of Taiyuan, the local people enthusiastically joined the army, and although the quality of the soldiers was uneven, the number of people was a terrifying number after a few days. This is only a division of Hu Guoshan, after Liu Chundao was stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain, he learned the same as Hu Guoshan, there were not many troops to recruit at Shimenkou at the beginning, and now that there is a chance, Liu Chundao will not let go at all.

I'm afraid that after Yan Xishan goes back, just Hu Guoshan and Liu Chundao and their two divisions will have a total of 70,000 or 80,000 people. When he goes to Taihang Mountain again and returns to his headquarters, I am afraid that the strength of the two divisions is likely to reach 100,000 people.

Of course, Chongqing and Yan Laoxi were aware of the speed of the explosion of the New 33rd Army, and they only thought about how to divide the territory of Shanxi, while Liao Fan thought that only what he got was his own.

"If it's really as Brother Baichuan said, with our ability, we can't help much, although the chairman asked me to lead the troops to Zhongtiao Mountain, but I really don't think about this operation, if the division commander of the new 33rd Army in Zhongtiao Mountain doesn't let me, I don't dare to shoot without receiving the order from the commission!"

What He Yingqin hopes most is that the New 33rd Army will take the initiative to make concessions, or he hopes that Chairman Chiang's discord plan can succeed, so that these two division commanders can successfully break away from Liao Fan, and then they will each break through, and he will no longer have any worries in Shanxi.

But the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and it can be said that it is very cruel. I am afraid that these are just the wishful thinking of Chairman Chiang, and in the end, he may have lost his wife and his soldiers.

In Chen Cheng's mansion, Chen Cheng and Wei Lihuang discussed the most realistic things, they thought that Chairman Jiang's method was too idealistic, and they didn't know who came up with this bad idea, and in the end they wanted him Chen Cheng to accompany him, if the plan did not go well, the final result would definitely be that he Chen Cheng would take the blame for Chairman Jiang.

"General Chen, the ugly words are ahead, I don't think this is a good thing, just like this year's New Fourth Army, so far there is no sign of ice-breaking on both sides, but the estrangement and hatred between the two sides are deepening, I am sure that the people over there are also actively in contact with the New 33rd Army, Chairman Chiang's plan may not be implemented and will go bankrupt!"

Although Wei Lihuang's words were very negative, everyone knew that this was the most realistic problem, and their opponent was not just the New 33rd Army, since Chairman Chiang announced that the New Fourth Army was a rebel army, the contradictions between them and the other side could not be resolved, and now the Eighth Route Army will definitely try its best to find a way to win over the New 33rd Army. Chairman Chiang's method was to push the New 33rd Army into opposition to the Nationalist Army, and at this time this method was probably the most stupid way to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

"I'm so anxious!" Chen Cheng also sighed, "But what can be done by the commission?" Internal and external troubles, he has no choice! ”

"I heard he's been asking for support from the Americans lately?"

"Well, it seems that this matter has already frowned, the Japanese army has begun to invade Southeast Asia, the magnesium people have stopped the supply of materials to the Japanese, and they also want to use the navy to cut off the sea routes of the Japanese, if the magnesium people participate in this war, I am afraid they will be able to see the dawn of victory!" Chen Cheng also hopes that the people of the magnesium country will participate in the war.

"It's good, it's really good, but the things of the people of the magnesium country are so easy to take? It's not like you don't know about Outer Mongolia! ”

Before the war began, they traded mineral resources for equipment for the Germans. After the Germans left, they exchanged Outer Mongolia for Soviet equipment, and now the Magnesium people are coming again......

"There is no free lunch in the world, although the people of the magnesium country are not the same as the little devils, but we can't pin all our hopes on them!"

"Then what can be done, I just said internal and external troubles, when will we be able to solve these problems on our own?"

Wei Lihuang smiled helplessly, Chairman Jiang can tolerate the aggression of foreigners, but he can't tolerate others to share the world with them, if Chairman Jiang is really willing to tolerate, these problems will no longer be a problem. They don't have to worry about these things.

"Brother Junru, will you accompany me on a trip to Taihang Mountain?" Chen Cheng finally spoke his mind.

"Me? General Chen, don't make fun of me, isn't there Yan Baichuan with you? And if I have to go to Taihang Mountain, I'm not the best candidate! "Wei Lihuang doesn't want to get involved in these things, and if he can retire in Chongqing, it is not too bad.

"Yan Baichuan is not a person from us, he is for the sake of Shanxi Sesame, and we are for the whole of China, of course, this is not putting gold on our own face!" Chen Cheng said sincerely.

"Yan Laoxi is also a hero, you can't underestimate it, and I can't do anything when I go to Taihang Mountain!"

Wei Lihuang went to the top of Taihang Mountain to play Chen Cheng more often, he and Liao Fan are not as familiar as Chen Cheng and Liao Fan, and it is useless to play his emotional card in Taihang Mountain.

Both of them fell silent, Chen Cheng was anxious, he really didn't have any good way.

"You can go with General Li!"

"Li Zongren?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Yes, the Fifth War Zone has close contacts with Taihang Mountain, it is said that Liao Fan admires Li Zongren a little, it is more useful to take him than to take me, I still wait for your news honestly at home!"

"I'm afraid Li Zongren doesn't have time to deal with me, right? He is the supreme commander of a war zone, and there are a lot of things in the fifth war zone! Chen Cheng was not sure that he would invite Li Zongren to go to Taihang Mountain with him.

"General Li also likes Liao Fan, whether you can invite Li Zongren depends on your General Chen's ability," Wei Lihuang said with a smile, "Also, if you really want to have an in-depth communication with Liao Fan, it's best not to talk to Yan Laoxi and them in front of Liao Fan, it's best to talk about it separately, even if something goes wrong, I believe that for your sake, Liao Fan won't turn his face, and Lao Yan and them are different!" ”
