"It seems that I can only do this for the time being, as for the troop side of things, I'm thinking of a way!"

It will take some time before the attack on Taiyuan, and Liao Jundong will see if he can transfer the strength of the two regiments from elsewhere. If Liao Jundong knew the situation in Taiyuan City at this time, I am afraid that he would not have taken such great pains to transfer troops from other aspects to cooperate with Hu Guoshan's division to attack Taiyuan.

Taiyuan City, as always, did not have the tension on the eve of the war, but the prosperity of Taiyuan was a little lighter than the makeup powder on the face of a lovelorn girl, but these are only people living in Taiyuan City can feel it.

No one dared to approach the area around the Japanese barracks as before, but the Japanese army used to conduct less drills than before, and occasionally a few soldiers wearing Japanese uniforms walked in the barracks.

The scouts of Hu Guoshan's division have been infiltrating Taiyuan City for a few days, but they still have not figured out the deployment of the Japanese troops in Taiyuan City, and there are Japanese troops standing guard and patrolling everywhere.

The scouts approached the Japanese barracks many times, trying to find out the situation in the barracks, but the commanding heights around the surrounding Japanese barracks were occupied by the Japanese army, and the scouts of the New 33rd Army would be easily spotted when they approached, and the soldiers had no way to at least wait in Taiyuan City to collect as much information as they wanted, but there were still too few places they could go.

The Japanese command in Taiyuan is still very tight, it is impossible for outsiders to enter, there are at least five patrols outside the headquarters, and they are all Japanese patrols, and there is not a single puppet army in sight.

But the Japanese commander was very quiet, and the silence made people feel very abnormal, for example, the cars outside the command headquarters had not moved since the scouts entered the city to reconnoitre, and the tires of one car were all shriveled, and no one went to repair them.

It seems that the Japanese army does not care about these things at all, except for the Japanese military camp and headquarters, the most heavily defended is the Japanese army's arsenal in Taiyuan City, the Japanese army drove away the residents around the arsenal, and then lived in the residents' homes, set up four checkpoints on the road to the arsenal, and large trucks were not allowed to enter. This makes people wonder why trucks should be restricted when the supply of arms should be open to the face of a big war.

This abnormal thing seemed to be hiding something, but all this happened that the scouts could not detect, because before they entered the city, these orders had been issued in Taiyuan City, and there was no trace of it, so that people could not feel that there was anything wrong.

"You keep an eye on it, I'll go sleep!"

The scouts in the city watched each other's every move in shifts, and after such a long time, they did not get any information of value for the attack, except for recording some of the daily actions of the Japanese army.

The scouts who were also in charge of reconnoitring the Japanese were also in difficulty, and the Japanese patrols were very frequent, without any chance of infiltrating the reconnaissance, as if patrolling more than defending.

In addition to the Japanese fortifications that can be seen on the surface outside Taiyuan City, the scouts also found nothing about the Japanese bunkers and firing points. After the situation in Taiyuan was summarized to Hu Guoshan, Hu Guoshan immediately reported to Liao Jundong.

After some deliberation, the four of them came to the unanimous conclusion that the Japanese army already knew that they had made preparations for attacking Taiyuan in a short period of time, and they did not think much about other aspects.

"It's only a matter of time before the Japanese army knows about our plan, after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world!" Liao Jundong said.

Such a large-scale movement of troops will certainly not be able to conceal from the Japanese army, especially in this era, little devils can casually buy some people to be spies in their defense area, and big intelligence cannot be detected, but the movement of troops cannot be done seamlessly at all.

"From now on, Liu Chundao's troops will first advance east to recover those areas controlled by the Japanese puppet army, and when Deputy Division Commander Tian arrives, they will be directly under the unified command of Hu Guoshan!"

Since the two units are moving separately, Liu Chun does not need to make too many preparations when he arrives at the division, and it is important to let the region restore stability one step earlier and let the people settle down and resume development as soon as possible.

However, before Liu Chundao went back, Liao Jundong grabbed Liu Chundao and specially explained some things to Liu Chundao.

"The Japanese army has now occupied Zhongtiao Mountain, we must arrange soldiers to keep an eye on the Japanese troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, once we find any situation, let the troops withdraw quickly, now it is a small matter to count the chassis, the key is to keep our troops!"

Liu Chundao nodded vigorously, losing the land to preserve the strength is not to ignore the interests of the country, now Shanxi is their meal, there is no need to take risks for nine out of ten things, in case of a situation, the gains outweigh the losses, and now the new 33rd Army is taking the safest way to recover Shanxi, rather than surviving in danger as before.

After all, after taking Shanxi, the New 33rd Army will not only face the Japanese army, but those who want to take a piece of the pie from Shanxi will inevitably embarrass the New 33rd Army from everywhere and secretly stumble on the New 33rd Army.

And now Zhongtiao Mountain is almost an empty shell, after the failure of the Japanese army to attack Luoyang, withdrew to Zhongtiao Mountain, and then returned to Taiyuan from Zhongtiao Mountain, but Taiyuan was not safe, and the Japanese army transported troops to Taiyuan by train overnight.

In the whole land of Shanxi, in fact, only Taiyuan has the real ability to resist, and other places have become an empty shelf, just like Zhongtiao Mountain, an important strategic point The Japanese army has also given up, at this time, no matter which force attacks Zhongtiao Mountain, it is guaranteed to regain the lost territory of Zhongtiao Mountain.

However, the Japanese army made careful arrangements before retreating, and in order to cover the operation in Taiyuan, the little devil used a trick to completely deceive the eyes of the intelligence officers, and no one noticed that the strategic place of Zhongtiao Mountain was already an empty city.

The actions of the New 33rd Army can't hide from the little devils, and of course they can't hide from the Chongqing side and the Eighth Route Army, it seems that there are no secrets in this land, but in fact, there are secrets everywhere, it's just to see whose eyes are sharp and can see through this secret, then they are one step ahead of others in this land.

Liu Chundao and his troops had just taken action, He Yingqin in Luoyang, Henan, Yan Laoxi who was about to run to Qinghai, and the general headquarters of the Eighth Route Army all got the news, and the tense situation in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo had also eased because of the actions of Liu Chundao's division.

Chen Bing's Seventh Army of Fu Yisheng in the Suiyuan region was also arguing about whether to go south into Shanxi, at this time in the eyes of everyone, Shanxi was a huge piece of fat, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing.

"Commander-in-Chief, the secret message of the New 33rd Army!" A communications officer personally handed over the telegram to Fu Yisheng.

Fu Yisheng was puzzled by the telegram that the New 33rd Army was now fighting with them with Li Weimin's division, because they had to work together to deal with the pressure of the Japanese army from the northeast, and they rarely received telegrams from Taihang Mountain.

He decisively opened the telegram, looked at the telegram and smiled: "It turns out that you are cheating on death, but your analysis is very reasonable, but the recovery of Shanxi is a great achievement on the northern battlefield, your Liao army commander looks down on me, and I am not a saint!" ”

Fu Yisheng smiled bitterly, if he led his troops south and recovered Shanxi, it would not only be a reward for Chongqing, but also a great possibility for him to go down in history, how could such a huge temptation be bewitched by the words in Liao Fan's telegram. He has been a general all his life, and in this era of war, he would rather be a general who slaughters the enemy than a saint above the temple.

But when he saw the last sentence of the telegram, Fu Yisheng's heart felt like he had suddenly received a blow.

"The Seventh Army is under the jurisdiction of Chief Yan, and Chief Fu is not the descendant of Chief Yan of the Jin Sui Army, even if Taiyuan City is recovered by Brother Fu alone, what is the use? Sooner or later, the Suiyuan region will be recovered from the Japanese Invaders, why don't Brother Fu plan early, and it will not be too late to become famous in the world by then! ”

Liao Fan clearly told Fu Yisheng that the first to step into Taiyuan must be the New 33rd Army, and even if the Seventh Army is later stationed in Taiyuan, don't forget that Shanxi is the chassis of the Jin Sui Army, and Taiyuan is his hometown of Yan Xishan.

And the real main regular army in Suiyuan is only their Seventh Group, and it is inevitable that the Seventh Group Army will be inseparable from the recovery of Suiyuan in the future, so why should he Fu Yisheng wave a spoon in this big dye vat in Shanxi, being a soil emperor in Suiyuan is much stronger than intrigue in Shanxi.

The last sentence really made Fu Yi's heart vivid, of course, he also saw that his heart revealed the relationship between him and Yan Laoxi, but since Yan Laoxi evacuated Shanxi, where did he care about the life and death of their Seventh Army, if he really arrived in Taiyuan, maybe he would really be suppressed by his old commander everywhere as Liao Fan said.

Now Liao Fan also gave him a chance, that is, when recovering the Suiyuan region, as long as he exerts some strength, he may be able to break away from the establishment of the Jin Sui army and become a real prince.
