Liao Fan fell, and the New 33rd Army couldn't fall, this is what Li Lingfei wanted. The new 33rd Army needs a new leader to carry these nearly 100,000 brothers down, and they can't be wiped out by little devils.

Of course, several important commanders of the New 33rd Army would not make such plans, because they believed that Liao Fan would not die at all and would definitely be able to wake up. While it's true that things are going to turn out for the better, it's too blind.

The reason why Fu Hongyu said to Liao Jundong that Liao Fan was okay was just to prevent Liao Jundong from being too anxious. As for when Liao Fan will wake up, I'm afraid only God knows, and Fu Hongyu also hopes that Liao Fan can wake up as soon as possible.

Liao Jundong didn't stay in Liao Fan's ward for long, it was enough to have Fu Hongyu taking care of Liao Fan and Lu Liming here.

Therefore, Liao Jundong returned to the headquarters, in fact, when Liao Fan and Li Weimin led their troops north, Li Lingfei had already fully accepted the affairs of the new 33rd Army station, and each division handled its own affairs, so there was no need for Li Lingfei to worry.

For the things in the station, although Li Lingfei has not made much achievements, but everything is developing steadily, without the slightest stop, even the production of bazookas has doubled in the past month and February, and has begun to equip Ma Wanzhongshi, as well as the development of the school, as long as the children of Taihang Mountain are sent to the school as long as they are at the appropriate age, and the school is responsible for their lunch.

From these aspects, although what Li Lingfei did was not as good as Liao Fan, it was no worse than anyone else, but everyone attributed these things to Liao Fan's contributions.

In the headquarters, Li Lingfei looked at Liao Jundong's face, he knew that Liao Jundong was in a bad mood, he had already angered Liao Jundong when Liao Jundong came back, and now he had to think about how to make Liao Jundong not angry with him because of Liao Fan's matter.

"Brother Liao, is Brother Fan's condition okay?" Li Lingfei took a glass of water and sat down in front of Liao Jundong.

Liao Jundong half-leaned back in his chair, he heard that Liao Fan would wake up, and he was in a good mood: "Well, it's okay!" ”

Hearing Liao Jundong's answer, Li Lingfei knew that the matter he discussed with Fu Hongyu was successful, and now he should implement his plan.

"Brother Liao, you haven't been back to the station for a long time, do you want to walk around the station, now many things in the station have changed!"

Taihang Mountain has indeed changed a lot in the past month, because the new 33rd Army fought very smoothly some time ago, and a lot of infrastructure and materials were transported to Taihang Mountain, and it is difficult to develop it when there are manpower and material resources.

Of course, Liao Jundong was not in the mood to wander around, and he could figure out the various environments in the Taihang Mountain station now with his eyes closed. For a man who has just come down from the front, what he needs most now is rest.

Of course, the rest mentioned here is not just sleeping, he needs a quiet state to relax his nervous nerves, especially for Liao Fan's affairs, he needs to completely relax, instead of tense his nerves all the time.

"Chief of Staff Li, you don't have to go around me, just when I don't come back, just do what you have to do!"

Since Liao Jundong returned to the headquarters, he didn't think about anything, and he didn't even think about Liao Fan's affairs anymore, although the New 33rd Army now has various things, Liao Jundong decided to give himself a half-day vacation, so that the nerve in his brain could be completely sent down.

Li Lingfei looked at Liao Jundong's appearance, which seemed to be very calm on the surface, but Li Lingfei knew that there was still that untouchable place in Liao Jundong's heart, no matter how relaxed Liao Jundong was at this moment, as long as it was about Liao Fan, it would inevitably explode.

He didn't bother Liao Jundong anymore, things can't be rushed, after all, there is still time.

After Hu Guoshan's division took over Yangquan completely, it did not let the troops stop, but let Zhao Caizhu start to send troops to Yangquan, and with Yangquan as the rear, attack and advance to the west.

The Japanese army in Taiyuan soon learned of the information that the New 33rd Army was attacking and advancing towards Yangquan, and immediately began to shrink its forces to defend Taiyuan.

Just when the little devil ordered the shrinkage of the troops, the command of the little devil received a special call, the content was very simple, Liao Fan had died.

Liao Fan's death was great news for the commander of the little devil, who thought that the new 33rd Army lacked a unified command.

"Great! That's great! ”

The commander of the little devil shouted happily in the command headquarters, he had never been so happy, Liao Fan was dead, his biggest opponent was finally dead, how could he not be happy. Now it is the New 33rd Army that should be worried about the urgency, not him.

Soon, the news of Liao Fan's death reached the ears of the Japanese commanders in Hebei and Suiyuan.

The commander of the Japanese army Suiyuan, who was still thinking about how to solve the problem of the New 33rd Army on the front line of the Great Wall, was just as happy as the little devil commander in Shanxi, because their opportunity had come. Similarly, the Japanese commanders in Hebei believed that their opportunity to capture the Jingcheng area again had come.

Originally, the Japanese army in Shanxi was surrounded by the Chinese army, and now it should be said that Taihang Mountain is surrounded by them, compared to the factions between the various Chinese troops, and they are much more united, so this is the advantage that the Japanese army has.

Within a day, the Japanese forces in Hebei, Shanxi and Suiyuan began a counteroffensive against the New 33rd Army.

At the beginning, Hu Guoshan's troops went all the way to the west unimpeded, and in addition to encountering sporadic resistance, the puppet troops remaining in various strongholds saw the troops of the New 33rd Army coming, so they lined up to surrender.

When the troops attacked a stronghold again, the troops sent by Hu Guoshan attacked for more than an hour without making any progress. The regimental commander who led the team realized that something was wrong and immediately sent scouts to reconnoiter the surrounding situation.

I don't know if I don't reconnoitre, but this reconnaissance really startled the commander of the regiment, because the Japanese armored units had already reached their flanks, and in another hour, they were made dumplings by the Japanese army.

The head of the regiment who led the team had hairs standing on end all over his body, and he immediately ordered the attacking troops to retreat at full speed. Of course, it must be too late to retreat, but to escape, fleeing to Yangquan as fast as possible.

The troops were out of strength, but the soldiers knew where Yangquan was, and their regimental commander told them to wait until Yangquan was assembled.

The 2,000 troops attacking to the west were really like sheep, and they ran away, and if they didn't run, the little devils would catch up. They fled, not retreated, and when they returned to Yangquan to gather their troops, they had lost less than two hundred men.

If there is an orderly retreat, the speed of the little devil's armored car is really faster than their two legs, and the large army is surrounded, and the loss is not only two hundred people, but their two thousand people may be eaten by the little devil.

After the front-line troops withdrew to Yangquan, Hu Guoshan immediately learned of the situation. He did not reproach his regimental commander for ordering the troops to withdraw in such a brutal manner. On the contrary, being able to make such an instant decision on the battlefield shows that this regiment commander has not panicked at the critical moment.

Now Hu Guoshan has no chance to figure out why the Japanese army is suddenly so abnormal, isn't it that they attack the little devils? Why did the little devil suddenly become so arrogant, did he come to die?

Hu Guoshan, who has always been bold, was bluffed by the little devil this time. The little devil commander is not a fool, he will definitely not let his troops come to their deaths, something must have gone wrong in the middle. Could it be that the little devil really wants to take advantage of Hu Guoshan's unstable foothold in Yangquan, and the little devil wants to recapture Yangquan in one fell swoop.

Before the little devil could attack, Hu Guoshan sent a telegram to Zhao Caizhu, asking him to hurry up and discharge the troops into Yangquan to prevent sudden changes.

But after waiting for an afternoon, Hu Guoshan didn't see the little devil attack, let alone surround Yangquan, which made Hu Guoshan more and more unable to understand what medicine was sold in the little devil's gourd.

Since the little devil does not attack, Hu Guoshan also happens to have time to arrange the defense in Yangquan City, Hu Guoshan has already determined that no matter what tricks the little devil plays, he will definitely not be able to recapture Yangquan.

Of course, before he figured out what the little devil was going to do, Hu Guoshan didn't dare to act rashly, and the two sides looked at each other like this, smelling each other, but they didn't get along with each other.

It wasn't until late at night that Hu Guoshan received a telegram from Datong and Jingcheng that Hu Guoshan knew why the little devil was so bold.

In order to prevent the other line of troops from being surrounded by the Japanese army, Hu Guoshan arranged for the signal troops to contact them and ask them to withdraw to the Heshun defense area overnight.

It stands to reason that with the strength of more than 10,000 little devils, Hu Guoshan and his division are enough to fight a big battle with the Japanese army and take the opportunity to eliminate the little devils. But Hu Guoshan did not move, because he was worried about a problem, that is, the defense of the Jingcheng area.

In the last battle, Ma Wanzhong's division was almost driven out of Jingcheng by the Japanese army, although it is said that after a period of repair, Ma Wanzhong's combat effectiveness has been improved, but it is not enough to resist all the main forces of the Japanese army in Hebei, and the Japanese army's strength in Hebei is mainly armored troops.

Therefore, Hu Guoshan did not want his troops to be held back by the Japanese army in Shanxi, and he wanted to lose the troops that had been prepared to support Jingcheng's operation.

In Datong in the north, because Li Weimin's troops attacked the Great Wall line and suffered a setback, Fu Yisheng's Seventh Army also stopped putting pressure on the Japanese troops in the Suiyuan area and withdrew to Baotou.

The Japanese army gathered nearly 50,000 troops at the fastest speed and launched an attack on Datong, where even the common people felt that a big war was coming. It is rare to see pedestrians walking around the streets of Datong.

A decisive battle kicked off in Datong, and all the armies were thrown into the defense of Datong. Even Li Weimin felt the command with illness.

"Ahem, cough, little devil, this is not good!" Li Weimin felt the pressure, couldn't help it for a while, and kept coughing.
