Hu Guoshan considered the reasons put forward by Liao Jundong, and had to say that Liao Jundong's reasons were very convincing, and now that the Japanese army in Shanxi was empty, as long as they dared to attack, they would definitely be able to achieve good results.

But for Hu Guoshan, now with the combat effectiveness of their division, they can take Yangquan at any time, let him attack Shanxi whenever he wants, and attacking Shanxi at this time makes him feel uncomfortable, why should he listen to the command of those white-eyed wolves in Chongqing.

"Brother Liao, what you said is right, but I just don't want to help those people in Chongqing, and now the situation is obvious, it must be the people in Chongqing who are doing it to Brother Fan!"

Hu Guoshan always thought that the person who assassinated Liao Fan was arranged by Chongqing, and asked him to help the national army and relieve the siege of Luoyang, and he was not happy in his heart.

"We have no direct evidence to prove that the person who assassinated Fanzi was the person arranged by Chongqing, and I am more heartbroken than you when Fanzi was injured, but this is not a reason for us to passively avoid war!"

Liao Fan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the most uncomfortable thing was Liao Jundong, who was his brother, how could he not want to break the corpse of the person who assassinated Liao Fan, but now half of China is still under the iron hooves of the little devils, and their original intention of forming troops is to fight the little devils, if they watch the Japanese army in Shanxi invade Henan, they are indifferent, which is not in line with their original intention at all.

"Yes, Lao Hu, we are not saving the national army, we are saving the people of Henan from the cruelty of the little devils, although most of Henan is a national control area, but there are thousands of ordinary people in Henan, we can't watch them being ravaged by the little devils, right?" Huang Changsheng also persuaded.

Liao Fan was seriously injured and was not able to give orders directly on behalf of Liao Fan, and all matters could only be discussed by them.

"I'll just listen to you," Hu Guoshan was persuaded by the two men, "but the ugly words are ahead, and I don't guarantee that the Japanese army will be able to withdraw!" ”

It's no problem for Hu Guoshan to fight the little devils, if the Japanese army in Shanxi insists on taking Luoyang and doesn't want Shanxi, Hu Guoshan can't take the troops into Henan.

"Naturally, we are only responsible for delaying the Japanese army in Shanxi, and the situation in Luoyang depends on Chongqing itself!"

Just as the three of them were discussing the situation in Shanxi, a communications soldier walked in.

"Report! Telegrams from the Seventh Army and the Fifth Theater of Operations! ”

Huang Changsheng took the telegram, these two telegrams were sent by Fu Yisheng and Li Zongren personally, obviously they received a telegram from Chongqing, asking them to send a telegram to the New 33rd Army, and let the New 33rd Army send troops to attack the little devils in Shanxi to relieve the pressure on their frontal battlefield.

"Look at it, they're all here to persuade us to send troops!" Huang Changsheng handed the telegram to Liao Jundong and Hu Guoshan.

"Lao Hu, how long do you need to prepare?" Liao Jundong asked.

"Everything is ready, the troops will be able to move when I go back!" Hu Guoshan had already ordered the troops to make all preparations.

"Changsheng, you send a telegram to the headquarters of the Seventh Army and General Li Zongren of the Fifth Theater, and as for Chongqing, send a telegram to our office in Chongqing, and tell them that our troops will definitely attack the Japanese army in Shanxi before noon tomorrow!"

After waiting for a telegram from Taihang Mountain for a day to no avail, Chairman Chiang did not put his hopes on the New 33rd Army, but after the meeting was dismissed that evening, Chen Cheng made a special trip to the office of the New 33rd Army in Chongqing.

Chen Cheng's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants to question Liao Fan, why is he not saved when he sees death, it is the lives of tens of thousands of Chinese, is Liao Fan watching them being killed by the Japanese?

Sitting in the car, the more Chen Cheng thought about it, the more angry he became, when he and Liao Fan met for the first time, the two of them chatted very speculatively, national righteousness, the rise and fall of the country, and the honor and disgrace of soldiers. But now that it was a critical time, Liao Fan chose to stand by and watch, preferring Henan to fall into the hands of the Japanese rather than send a single soldier.

Just sent three telegrams asking Liao Fan for help from Chongqing, but until now, Liao Fan has not replied to him a word, how can he not be angry in his heart.

Chen Cheng came to the office of the New 33rd Army angrily, and now Xiao Zhou is at ease with Chongqing's affairs, and he has some experience in dealing with Chongqing's officials, and he doesn't often make jokes at the beginning. Moreover, he has already trained a group of special personnel for the New 33rd Army in Chongqing, so when Luoyang was surrounded, Xiao Zhou was able to transmit the news back to Taihang Mountain as soon as possible.

When Xiao Zhou saw Chen Cheng angrily walking into his office, he had already guessed Chen Cheng's purpose for coming to him.

"General Chen Cheng, please take a seat!"

Xiao Zhou waved his hand and asked everyone in the office to go out, he knew that these senior generals of the national army were all face-saving people, and they would definitely not throw their faces in front of so many people, even if his face was already full of unhappiness.

"Did Liao Fan send a telegram?" Chen Cheng got straight to the point, he didn't want anything now, as long as Liao Fan's words, that is, he had already arranged for the troops to move.

Xiao Zhou smiled: "General Chen, don't be impatient, our Brother Fan is not stationed in Taihang Mountain, he is in Datong, you don't know, now the New 33rd Army is attacking the front line of the Great Wall, Chief Fu should report this matter to Chairman Jiang!" ”

Since working in the big dye vat of Chongqing, Xiao Zhou has learned more and more, their new 33rd Army is definitely not monolithic, and Chongqing will definitely know about the actions of the New 33rd Army through other channels, and he believes that Chen Cheng must know what the New 33rd Army is doing now.

"Do you mean that the New 33rd Army will not be able to draw up its forces to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Shanxi?" Chen Cheng endured the unhappiness in his heart, he did not forget his identity, there was no need to get angry with Xiao Zhou.

"General Chen, if you have a fire, send it out, I really don't know what Brother Fan wants to do, and Brother Fan won't tell me, I'm just a small liaison officer, and I don't have that much power!"

"Humph! Flim tongue, let me tell you, I have used these methods in Nanjing! ”

Chen Cheng snorted coldly, he thought that Xiao Zhou was deliberately delaying time with him, these methods of delaying time were very immature in the eyes of Chen Cheng, an old officialdom, and Xiao Zhou was completely a class axe in his eyes.

"General Chen, I also know that you are anxious about the situation in Henan, if I have news here, I will definitely tell you in time!"

Now the situation in Henan is very critical, and Xiao Zhou also understands Chen Cheng's feelings. Since the telegram was sent home, there has been no news from home.

"Send another telegram to Liao Fan, in my name, and tell you Commander Liao, if he doesn't help this time, don't blame me in the future Chen Cheng turned his face and didn't recognize anyone!" Chen Cheng was extremely angry, as the number one general of the national army, he couldn't get a small army commander to reply to him with a telegram.

"Everything depends on General Chen!"

Xiao Zhou didn't dare to disobey Chen Cheng's intentions, unless he didn't want to do it in Chongqing, as long as Chen Cheng gave an order, they would not be able to move an inch in Chongqing, it was just a telegram, it was better not to offend Chen Cheng.

Xiao Zhou was just about to go out to send a telegram, when a soldier knocked on the door.

"Director, telegram from Datong!"

"General Chen, there's news!" After Xiao Zhou read the telegram, he handed the telegram to Chen Cheng, this telegram was from Datong, of course, it was the thing that Chen Cheng was most concerned about,

When Chen Cheng saw the telegram, his hanging heart finally relaxed, and with the participation of the New 33rd Army, the crisis in Henan was at least half relieved.

"It seems that I still didn't misread Liao Fan! I have to hurry up and tell Chairman Chiang the good news! Chen Cheng didn't know that Liao Fan was in a coma now, and the telegram in his hand was sent by Huang Changsheng.

When he learned that the strength of a division of the New 33rd Army would definitely launch an attack on the Japanese troops in Shanxi before noon tomorrow, Chen Cheng naturally wanted to report the good news to Chairman Chiang immediately.

At this time, Chairman Chiang was meeting a person in his study, and this person was in charge of Dai Li, the head of the military command.

"What you said is true?" Chairman Jiang asked.

"It's true, although the new 33rd Army has blocked the news inside the troops, but according to the discussions in Datong City, there is a chance that Liao Fan has been killed by our people!"

Dai Li had received the news this afternoon, but Chairman Chiang had been in a meeting, so he had been waiting in Chairman Chiang's study until now.

"Hey!" Chairman Chiang suddenly sighed.

"Now that Liao Fan has been removed, I don't know why the commission sighs?"

"No wonder you even sent so many telegrams to Taihang Mountain, Liao Fan has no news at all, it would be good if your people acted two days late!"

Chairman Jiang sighed, I am afraid that judging from the current situation, if the new 33rd Army does not participate in the war, the defeat of the Henan National Army will be decided, and the tens of thousands of elite national troops in Luoyang will probably be buried.

"Commission, the opportunity to assassinate Liao Fan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'm afraid that this opportunity is wrong, we won't find another opportunity!" Dai Li understood that Chairman Chiang was sighing for the war situation in Henan.

"Yunong, you have done a good job in this matter, compared to the future plans of the party-state, what is the calculation of temporarily losing Henan?"

Chairman Chiang knew that the existence of a Liao Fan was a greater threat to him than a little devil, and he needed to make sure that all the power was in his hands so that the whole of China could be under his rule.

"Commission, should we arrange for someone to go to Taihang Mountain to receive the new 33rd Army?" Dai Li suggested.

The New 33rd Army is strong in combat, if the New 33rd Army is really taken over by Chongqing, then what is the point of losing a very one, and the Eighth Route Army will no longer be their opponent in the future.

But Chairman Jiang shook his head: "The important military commanders of the New 33rd Army are all Liao Fan's cronies, and if we arrange personnel to go to Taihang Mountain at this time, they will definitely be able to guess that Liao Fan's death has a lot to do with us." ”
