Two elite Japanese squads, disguised as Chinese troops, entered Shaanxi. They did not communicate with the troops of either side, nor did they even enter the defense zone of the troops of both sides.

In the daytime, a Japanese squad disguised as the Central Army attacked the guard troops of the Eighth Route Army on a mountain ridge, and all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in a squad were martyred, and only one survived.

Also in the defense area of the Jingsui Army, a Japanese squad disguised as the Eighth Route Army attacked a platoon of the Jingsui Army, the platoon commander fled from the battle, the deputy platoon commander and the soldiers did not retreat, and more than 30 soldiers also died heroically after killing and wounding eight little devils.

The "Eighth Route Army" attacked the Nationalist Army, and the "Nationalist Army" attacked the Eighth Route Army, both sides certified, and even physical evidence could be found, because these two Japanese squads were equipped with the equipment of the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army respectively.

The contradictions between the two sides escalated again, and the new and old accounts began to settle the grievances and hatreds of previous years. Not only in Shaanxi, but also in Gansu and Ningxia, the troops were involved in the fighting, and once again the Chinese army broke out fighting on an unprecedented scale.

Obviously, no one knows that this is the ghost behind the Japanese army, and now the Japanese army in Shanxi needs the Chinese army to be in chaos before they can make a good move.

Two days later, Liao Fan received news from Li Lingfei's telegram that the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army had fought.

"Why did you send the news now?"

Liao Fan was furious, it had been two days, and in these two days, many things had changed, but Liao Fan didn't know the news until now.

In fact, Li Lingfei can't be blamed for this matter, a battle broke out between the two sides suddenly, and Li Lingfei also got the news from Political Commissar Liu, so it was inevitable that the news would be a little late, and when it reached Liao Fan, it would naturally be even later.

"Brother Fan, could this be a conspiracy of little devils?" Huang Changsheng asked.

"Do you need to ask? It must be a conspiracy of little devils! ”

Liao Fan concluded that this must be a ghost made by a little devil, and then the Japanese army will definitely launch a military attack on both sides, with the ability of the new 33rd Army, now they have to deal with the situation on the Great Wall, and also guard against the comeback of the Japanese army in Hebei, if the Japanese army attacks westward on a large scale, the new 33rd Army will not be able to rescue Ben, and Liao Fan's plan to prepare for such a long time will also be in vain.

"So what are we going to do? Stop using troops in the direction of the Great Wall? ”

Tens of thousands of troops have been waiting for the day, ready to attack at any time, and now they are suddenly about to abandon the plan, and the Japanese army in Shanxi is still unsure of what to do, and they have not even figured out the purpose, let alone time.

Liao Fan began to pace back and forth in the command headquarters, the current situation is the infighting between the Chinese troops, the Japanese army has not taken any action at all, and does not know the specific intentions of the Japanese army, if it is now rash to stop the use of troops against the Japanese army on the Great Wall, once the Japanese army adjusts its defensive deployment, then all the information detected by the new 33rd Army will be invalidated, and those soldiers will die in vain.

Ignoring the enemy's intentions, rashly abandoning the original plan would be too great for the losses of the new 33rd Army.

"We can't stop, Li Weimin, you first use our name to send a telegram to both sides to find out the reason for the establishment between the two sides, and then send a telegram to Fu Yichang to ask about the specific situation!"

"Lu Liming, you go to Shanyin in person, tell Brigade Commander Liao, let him find a way to find out if the Japanese army is playing ghosts, and tell my brother to be careful of the little devils, the Japanese army may have to do it!"

Now Liao Fan is most relieved of Liao Jundong, although Liao Fan attaches great importance to national affairs, but when something happens to his relatives, he will inevitably be shaken, and the Japanese army will take Liao Jundong as a hostage when it moves against Shaanxi.

Liao Jundong, as an important officer of the New 33rd Army and Liao Fan's elder brother, if he is controlled by the little devil, even if Liao Fan can make the final decision, but Huang Changsheng and a few of them will also be jealous.

The Japanese army in Shanxi did not have the pressure of these two aspects, and could do whatever they wanted in Shanxi, so Liao Fan must be vigilant that the Japanese army would attack Liao Jundong.

Liao Jundong gave the little devil a day, but the little devil used an excuse to delay the negotiation for a day, and the result of the negotiation is still inconclusive today. The intention of the Japanese army to deliberately delay time was already obvious.

However, Liao Jundong still chose to retreat, because he knew that if the negotiations reached a final result, he would strive for sufficient benefits for the New 33rd Army. However, Liao Jundong did not let the little devil delay time so recklessly.

"Mr. Shinozuka, time has dragged on and on, I know you must be arranging things, but I hope you had better not act rashly, and be responsible for finally coming to negotiate with us, not such a slight price!"

Although Liao Jundong can't guess the intentions of the little devil, it is still okay to scare and scare the little devil. Now the Japanese army in Shanxi is obviously afraid of the strength of the New 33rd Army, and Liao Jundong's words are enough for the little devil commander to think about it.

However, the Japanese commander behaved very calmly: "Mr. Liao, I have already stated that we need time to prepare, not to deliberately delay time!" ”

How could the commander of the little devil admit that he wanted to delay time, now that the Japanese army in Shanxi is at a critical time, as long as the troops of the New 33rd Army move in Datong, he will immediately order the troops to move, and what he needs most now is time.

Liao Jundong pressed forward step by step, but the commander of the little devil seemed to be shameless, and the dignity of the Japanese Imperial Army seemed to be lost at all in him.

"Since you still need time to think about this matter, then we have already booked the matter of prisoners of war, so it is better for us to exchange prisoners of war from tomorrow!"

Now the commander of the little devil is just short of troops, and when he heard the conditions put forward by Liao Jundong, he was overjoyed, he really wanted to do anything, as long as they were replaced by captured soldiers, his chances of victory would be more certain.

"Since Mr. Liao is so anxious, let's change the prisoners first!" The little devil commander still wanted to take advantage of his mouth at this time, and deliberately showed that this matter seemed to be that Liao Jundong and the New 33rd Army were impatient.

Liao Jundong didn't have a little devil's commander to do some verbal disputes: "In that case, how about we exchange a thousand prisoners of war first?" So many prisoners of war exchange are prone to confusion, so let's exchange a thousand first! ”

The little devil commander who was still happy just now suddenly had a feeling that he had been tricked, there were about 10,000 Japanese soldiers captured by the New 33rd Army, and 1,000 people were a fraction: "Is Mr. Liao a little less?" ”

"It's a lot, you just say whether to change it, if you don't change it, we don't plan to change the rest, you don't lack laborers, we still lack laborers there, I can't wait to use you little devils as ten people alone!"

Liao Jundong's words can tell the truth, now in the area controlled by the new 33rd Army, the most dangerous work is for the little devils to do the prisoners of war, although they are allowed to rest for eight hours a day, but except for these eight hours, the little devils are all working.

"This ......" The Japanese commander did not expect that his soldiers would have such a miserable life after being captured.

"Okay, if you can't be the master, you won't be there tomorrow, and the negotiation between us will end here!"

This time Liao Jundong is here to get real, since he can't get any benefits from the little devil, and he still talks about wool, and the only thing left is to see the high and low on the battlefield.

"Okay, I agree!" The commander of the little devil agreed.

"But I warn you, if we bring a thousand of your captives, you will bring five thousand!" Liao Jundong said, "The remaining 2,000 people are spare, and the prisoners of war I gave you can be mixed with your officers!" ”

After returning to Shanyin County, Liao Jundong met Lu Liming from Datong, and when he saw Lu Liming, Liao Jundong knew that something big must have happened. Lu Liming was Liao Fan's personal bodyguard, and he rarely came out to deliver letters, and usually let him come in person because of urgent matters.

"What's wrong?" Liao Jundong asked Lu Liming eagerly.

"Brother Liao, please rest assured, everything is fine with Datong!" Lu Liming knew that Liao Jundong was worried about Liao Fan's safety, "Brother Fan, I was worried about your safety that I was asked to go on this trip!" ”

"My safety?" Liao Jundong didn't understand what Lu Liming meant, he had public servants by his side, so he didn't need to worry about his safety at all, "Could it be that something big happened?" ”

"There is a fight in the west, it may be the hands and feet of the little devils, Brother Fan, I am worried that the Japanese army will attack you, so that the new 33rd Army will be a rat trap!" Lu Liming said.

"West? Who's with whom? ”

"Who else can talk to whom, two old enemies, two days ago, there is no intention of stopping, Brother Fan is trying to find a way to be a middleman and mediate the relationship between them!"

Liao Jundong understands who the two old wrongdoers are, since the first separation, the two wrongdoers have not stopped, so in the eyes of today's Chinese, even if the little devil is driven out, there will inevitably be a death and death between the two sides, and many people do not want to see their own people beating their own people, so they pin their hopes on the newly rising New 33rd Army, hoping that the New 33rd Army can maintain a balance between the two sides.

Although the New 33rd Army has made important progress in the military, and Liao Fan and the New 33rd Army have also received the support and recognition of many people, Liao Fan has always maintained his mentality of not engaging in politics, he is just a pure soldier, and what he does can only be regarded as a small fight between the two bigwigs, that is to say, some people are too high to praise Liao Fan, because Liao Fan simply does not have enough ability to have an equal dialogue with the two bigwigs.
