Since Okamura Ningji asked him to mobilize the troops in southern Henan, he will mobilize the troops in southern Henan, and when the time comes, he will hold him accountable, so he will put the responsibility on Okamura Ningji's head and save his own life first.

The Japanese commander in northern Henan could no longer take care of so much, and first resisted the attack of the new 33rd Army, and decisively transferred more than 30,000 troops from southern Henan to aid northern Henan.

The scouts excluded by Li Zongren always paid attention to the situation in southern Henan, and according to his agreement with Liao Fan, as long as the Japanese troops in southern Henan left for 24 hours, they would launch an attack on the Japanese defenders in southern Henan.

"Let's do it, we have taken the benefits of Liao Fan, and we can't let the New 33rd Army carry everything, after all, this is also for the good of the people!" Li Zongren glanced at his watch, and there were still four hours before they agreed on something.

"Do you want to say hello to Chongqing first?" Li Zongren's secretary suggested.

"No need, according to Chairman Jiang's temper, he will definitely not be willing to help Liao Fan, this matter is when we don't know anything, and we can explain it to Chairman Jiang when the matter is over!"

In fact, supporting the New 33rd Army originally put a lot of pressure on Li Zongren, not only military problems, but also problems in Chongqing, there are many people there who have never been on the battlefield, but their mouths are much more powerful than the Japanese army's aircraft and artillery, and when Liao Fan left him, he was already thinking about how to deal with the people in Chongqing who could only use their mouths.

After all, Li Zongren is also a person who has made contributions to the country and the nation on the battlefield, and it is certainly not an easy thing to move him, especially since he still holds the power of the Gui Army in his hands, hundreds of thousands of troops are in his hands, and he is also considered strong in the national army, and no one wants to suffer from Li Zongren.

When the Japanese army in southern Henan had just walked halfway, Li Zongren's troops in the Fifth Theater had already completed their assembly and launched an attack on the Japanese troops in southern Henan.

"This is the conspiracy of the New 33rd Army, the New 33rd Army has already arranged everything before the attack!"

The Japanese commander was furious, and before their reinforcements arrived, the Nationalist army launched a counterattack in southern Henan, apparently they had already planned to attack them while there were not many troops in Henan.

Okamura Ninji soon received the news, although he had ordered the troops to launch an attack on the defenders of Taihang Mountain, but with little effect, his 400,000 troops did not enter Taihang Mountain, not to mention that he only used more than 100,000 troops, on such a long defensive line, the attack of 100,000 troops was very scattered, and they could not concentrate superior forces at all.

Now that there is a battle in Henan, the troops are empty, and they urgently need support, and the only troops around Hebei and Wuhan who can give Henan support in a short period of time are the troops around Hebei and Wuhan, and Wuhan has a great relationship, and a large number of troops in Chongqing are in the vicinity, as long as Wuhan troops are mobilized, Chongqing will definitely take the opportunity to seize Wuhan, and when they want to capture Wuhan again, they will pay a lot of casualties, and they will lose 200,000 troops in the battle of Wuhan.

Okamura Ningji paced back and forth in the office, the trouble caused to him by the new 33rd Army was too great, and the new 33rd Army must be eliminated, but now he must first protect Henan, if something happens in Henan, it will inevitably endanger Wuhan, especially the troops of the Fifth War Zone, the Fifth War Zone occupies an excellent position, and it can be attacked and retreated, and the threat to them is very great.

"Am I really inferior to Liao Fan?"

Okamura Ningji sighed that the combat effectiveness of the New 33rd Army is indeed obvious to all, and their Great Japanese Imperial Army was once invincible, and they thought that the Soviets were not very good, but as a result, the Battle of Nomenkan made the Soviets fight them without the power to fight back, and then they went south to attack China with their backhand, but now they are dragged back by a small New 33rd Army, and they are helpless to fight.

After these two battles with the New 33rd Army, Okamura Ninji began to doubt your ability, obviously your own troops are obviously superior to the New 33rd Army, but you can't do anything about the New 33rd Army.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, our troops in Henan are losing ground one after another, and according to intelligence, the number of heavy artillery pieces in the Fifth Theater has increased by at least twenty, and our fortifications have been hit by their covering blows, and we have no power to fight back at all!"

The Japanese troops left behind in southern Henan could no longer stop the attack of Li Zongren's troops, although the Japanese army fought hard to the last soldier, but the strength of the national army was ten times that of theirs, and the national army could not lose such a battle.

Okamura Ninji knew very well that the most important problem was not that the Nationalist Army had added 20 cannons, but that the New 33rd Army had already planned everything, that is, to force them to withdraw part of the troops on the eastern line of Taihang Mountain.

"In that case, do as you wish!"

Okamura Ningji was helpless, since Liao Fan had already thought about everything and arranged everything for him, for the sake of more interests in Henan, he could only give up the siege of the New 33rd Army on the eastern line of Taihang Mountain, although he knew that this would very likely cause them to lose the entire North China in the future.

"Let all the troops of the eastern line of Taihang Mountain withdraw from the battle, remember all the troops!"

Okamura Ninji knew very well that since he had retreated, he would have to retreat completely, and the deployment of 200,000 troops on the eastern line of Taihang was the final bottom line, less than this number, and with the combat effectiveness of the new 33rd Army, if the number of troops deployed was too small, it would be equivalent to burying the troops, and it was better to withdraw all the troops and preserve all the troops.

The Japanese army on the eastern line of Taihang Mountain began to retreat on the whole line, Hu Guoshan did not order the troops to attack rashly, because he did not know that this was a real retreat of the Japanese army, and his troops had sprinkled the entire front line in order to defend, and if they attacked rashly, they would probably fall into the trap set by the Japanese army, after all, the Japanese army had so many troops, and they did not have many reinforcements.

"Tell Brother Fan that the Japanese army is already retreating, and it is still unclear whether it is true or false!"

When it comes to the life and death of the troops, Hu Guoshan does not dare to be careless, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are not a joke, and their purpose is to recover the Jingcheng area, not to fight to the death with the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese army can withdraw.

For the retreat of the Japanese army, Liao Fan did not order Hu Guoshan to pursue, Okamura Ningji is a cunning opponent, and the new 33rd Army has lost a lot of troops in the last Japanese attack, and this time it fought with the Japanese army, and the casualties of the troops will definitely not be less, he can't squander his troops like this, as Li Zongren said, in today's China, you have such ability, only your own troops are the necessary conditions for your survival.

However, the Japanese army retreated, and Liao Fan could not wait and see for a long time, after all, the Japanese army's retreating troops were not a small number, and they would definitely be put into the Henan battlefield as quickly as possible, and it would be Ma Wanzhong's troops and Li Zongren's troops who would suffer at that time.

"Tell Hu Guoshan to arrange scouts, reconnoiter the movements of all Japanese troops, and report back immediately once the Japanese army has the intention of leaving Hebei!"

The things he arranged finally worked, and Liao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, at least the hundreds of thousands of people who escaped from the Jingcheng area because of the war could finally go home and no longer have to wander around.

There is nothing more reassuring to Liao Fan than the common people living and working in peace and contentment, after all, the war has caused too much damage to China, especially the burden of the Chinese people.

Although the new 33rd Army has Shanxi as its rear and no longer needs to let Taihang Mountain support it, Taihang Mountain is an important natural barrier after all, and only by blocking the iron hooves of the Japanese army can the rear be able to live and work in peace and contentment to supply the soldiers in front, and then the troops can win more battles and recover more lost territory.

At present, the threat of the New 33rd Army mainly comes from the Japanese army in North China in the east, and the Japanese army in the north is no longer enough to pose a threat to the New 33rd Army, but it is also a disease of scabies in the New 33rd Army.

In particular, the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area has already repaired its permanent fortifications and intends to take root in the Suiyuan area and fight to the end against the New 33rd Army and the Seventh Army in the Suiyuan area.

The new 33rd Army quickly recovered the Jingcheng area, and now it is time to consider the threat of the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area, and the recovery of the Suiyuan area with the Seventh Army is a verbal agreement between Liao Fan and Fu Yisheng, and Liao Fan must pay attention to his commitment.

"Brother Fan, rest for a while, Master Hu will definitely arrange the affairs in the Jingcheng region!"

Things finally came to an eyebrow, and Cun Qi was also happy in his heart, but seeing that Liao Fan was a little in good spirits, let Liao Fan have a good rest.

"Hey~ Recently, things have been one after another, there is no time to clone at all, and if the matter is not resolved, there is no way to rest well! By the way, what about the rest of the troops of the Jin Sui Army? ”

"There are still more than 30,000 people left in the remaining troops of the Jin Sui Army, and now they are all in the Luliang area, and we have also received nearly 10,000 soldiers from the Jin Sui Army during this period, and now they are all grouped together! After the whole training is completed, they will be divided into various units! "Cunqi has been busy with these things lately.

"Hmm...... Those who come from the Jin Sui army must be screened well, especially the officers, once there is suspicion, even if there is no evidence, they cannot be allowed to stay in our troops, otherwise it will be a disaster in the future! ”

The defeat of the Jin Sui army, of course, is because of the new 33rd Army, presumably Yan Laoxi will definitely hate Liao Fan to death, and although the Jin Sui army is defeated, there must be people loyal to Yan Laoxi, this time is the best time for Yan Laoxi to insert eyeliner to the new 33rd Army.

Of course, Liao Fan will not leave the enemy by his side, although he did not completely wipe out the Jin Sui army, but Liao Fan still has this idea in his heart, but he is worried that the locals still have old feelings for the Jin Sui army, and he is worried that he will not get the support of the locals, so Liao Fan has no choice but to leave the last way for the Jin Sui army to survive. Moreover, the elimination of the Jin Sui Army by the New 33rd Army will inevitably have an impact on Liao Fan in the future, and Liao Fan must be cautious.
