The head of the regiment looked at Huang Changsheng's face and didn't dare to say it, for fear that he would be shot by Huang Changsheng's order immediately.

"But what? I know what has been circulating in the army lately, are the soldiers talking about the assassination of Brother Fan, and he is already dead? Of course, Huang Changsheng will not tell the soldiers the truth, although some people already know about it, but as long as there is no evidence, who knows whether what he said is true or false.

"I, Huang Changsheng, assure you with the honor of my soldier, Brother Fan did not sacrifice! If you still don't believe me, I can assure you that in half a month, Brother Fan will only leave Datong for half a month, and after half a month, he promises to stand in front of you! ”

Huang Changsheng doesn't know what will happen in this half a month, maybe Liao Fan really died in this half a month, maybe Liao Fan can really wake up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had deceived himself about the reason he told them, whether they believed it or not, anyway, Huang Changsheng himself believed it, and Liao Fan would definitely wake up in half a month.

"Brigade Commander Huang, we just don't worry about Brother Fan!"

"Did you beat the little devil for Brother Fan? Wrong! It's a big mistake, you are fighting the little devils for the sake of the Chinese people, you are fighting for thousands of compatriots, we have countless compatriots who are being ravaged by Japan, do you just watch them being bullied by the little devils*? Even if you don't have a patriotic heart or conscience, this is not a reason for you to waste military discipline! ”

"From today onwards, none of the officers present, you are all guilty of meritorious service, if I hear anyone who dares to spread rumors on the front line, I will punish you if I don't punish him, soldiers have no responsibility, everything is the responsibility of your officers! If you behave well, I don't have to report to Brother Fan about the chaotic military discipline of your troops, but if you don't behave well, I don't need Brother Fan and your division commander to come forward, I guarantee that your life will not be easy! ”

As long as the officers are controlled and the officers are allowed to manage the troops, this is what Huang Changsheng has to do.

"Do you understand?" Huang Changsheng asked all the officers loudly.

"Got it!"

Obviously, Huang Changsheng's speech was very effective, although it did not dispel the confusion in the hearts of the soldiers about the Liao Fan incident, but it completely suppressed this rumor, at least no one dared to violate military discipline anymore to talk about Liao Fan's affairs at will.

After all the officers in the headquarters had left, Huang Changsheng ordered the guards to bring in the officers who were waiting outside.

In the face of the late officers, Huang Changsheng would definitely not give them a good face.

"Why are you five late?"

There are all kinds of reasons for being late, just like the various reasons we made up when we were children when we went to school, and it was almost like helping my grandmother cross the street and become a good officer of the new generation.

Huang Changsheng sneered: "Although I don't know how Li Weimin promoted you to be an officer, especially you, who are still a battalion commander, at least you have seniority in the New 33rd Army, when you first came to the army, didn't you tell you not to make excuses for your mistakes easily?" ”

"Brigade Commander Huang, I know it's wrong!" The battalion commander replied.

"I'm in a bad mood today, it just so happens that today you also bumped into my muzzle, everyone is demoted by one level, stay in the army to see the after-effects, if you make another mistake, I will be the master of your division commander, you don't have to stay in the army!"

Huang Changsheng had to warn these officers, and it happened to kill a monkey, but Huang Changsheng really didn't dare to kill him, after all, this was Li Weimin's troops, and what he wanted to do was to hand over this army to Li Weimin completely.

"Yes!"

Huang Changsheng did not inspect the position, and he believed that these officers could handle it, unless they really didn't want to die. Now Huang Changsheng must seize the time to understand Li Weimin's division, at least he must know the specific location of each army, so that when the battle starts, he can be at ease, and there will be no confusion when deploying troops.

After the little devil succeeded in the first blow, his morale was obviously greatly boosted, although they don't know how many Chinese troops they had eliminated, but with the current state of the little devil, they need to do enough in terms of public opinion.

So the commander of the Japanese army directly waved his pen and wrote in the battle report that 5,000 enemies were destroyed and countless enemies were wounded!

The little devils also want to tell their own soldiers through this battle report, and the new 33rd Army is not a flood beast, they are all sheep of China, so there is no need to be afraid of them.

The Japanese commanders did not know that it was precisely because they regarded the New 33rd Army as a flood beast that the little devils were highly vigilant, and then they sensed the sound of the slap underground, and finally had a chance to annihilate part of the Chinese army.

However, the little devil's exaggerated telegram made the little devil gradually relax his vigilance and no longer be on high alert against the new 33rd Army. Similarly, the Japanese army also lost the best opportunity to attack, allowing Huang Changsheng to stabilize the defensive line arranged by Li Weimin's division.

The front-line positions became quiet, and occasionally a skirmish broke out between the two sides, losing a few people, and for three days there were no large-scale battles. But during these three days, the soldiers did an important thing, that is, they dug up the bodies of the buried soldiers and transported them back.

After completing this work, Huang Changsheng began to prepare for the next step.

……

On the Yangquan front, the sappers worked overtime to finally clear a large area of safe lines, and after a day and a night of strong attack, all the positions on the periphery of Yangquan were occupied by Hu Guoshan's troops.

At this time, there was only a wall between the soldiers and the Japanese army. However, the soldiers did not make the slightest progress in this wall after spending a day, and Hu Guoshan's troops suffered more and more casualties.

"Little devil, this is a death order!"

Hu Guoshan analyzed the situation of the opponent, before the battle started, they had already learned about the strength of the Japanese army in the city and the material reserves, they could not besiege without attacking, and the material reserves of the Japanese army could not be exhausted in a short period of time.

If you dare to give up Yangquan and evacuate without authorization, even if the new 33rd Army lets them go, the little devils will not let go of their own people, so the Japanese army wants Hu Guoshan to work hard.

"Division commander, we can't attack like this anymore, the casualties of the troops are too great, I have a company under my command, and I have been fighting for two days, and now there is only one squad of soldiers!" The regiment commander in charge of the main attack cried to Hu Guoshan that his company was a sharp knife company, and he had been fighting the Japanese army on the front line for the past two days.

Although Hu Guoshan seems to be reckless, he himself is thick and fine, of course he knows that if he fights with the little devils like this, they will end up losing both sides with the Japanese army, so they capture Yangquan, and they are also unable to move west along the Zhengtai Line to form an effective threat to Taiyuan.

"The main forces of the Japanese army are now concentrated in the south and west of the city, that is, the Japanese troops in the north and south of the city are not many, we can break through from these two sides, but in this way we break through the city wall, and the Japanese army will still have a lot of troops to retreat into the city to fight with us in street battles, so our casualties are also small!"

Hu Guoshan was very aware of the advantages of the Japanese army, Yangquan did not want the small county town they had recovered, in terms of scale, Yangquan was at least the size of four Pingding county seats, once they forced the Japanese army to retreat into the city, this street battle may be more casualty than the battle of the fortification. Obviously, it was more than worth the loss, so they had to destroy the main force of the Japanese army on the city walls as much as possible.

"Commander, you have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, we can't consume it like this with the little devil!"

Hu Guoshan paced back and forth in the command headquarters, he should think of a way to get the best of both worlds, although one of his divisions was the most powerful of the four divisions of the New 33rd Army, his soldiers were not predators, they were all flesh and blood people, and they couldn't just be sacrificed in vain.

"What do you say the little devil needs most right now?" Hu Guoshan suddenly stopped and asked his main commander.

"What do little devils need most? How do I know this! The main regiment commander looked at Hu Guoshan, how could he think of what the Japanese army needed most.

"Use your brains more, put yourself in the shoes of the little devil and think more, if it is you and your regiment who are trapped in Yangquan City now, what do you need most?" Hu Guoshan guided his regiment leader.

"What do I need most? Now that there is enough food and ammunition in the city, what is most lacking is the troops, is the little devil what he needs most now is reinforcements? ”

"That's right! The Japanese army is now understaffed, and at this time, of course, what they need is reinforcements! ”

Under the continuous attack of Hu Guoshan's division, the Japanese casualties were also increasing, and the strength was naturally stretched, although the Japanese commander gave them the order to defend to the death, but when the Japanese troops in the city saw the arrival of reinforcements, they would inevitably welcome them warmly.

Since there was a breakthrough, Hu Guoshan immediately began to arrange a plan, since he wanted to blend in with the Japanese army, he must find a group of people who could speak Japanese, Hu Guoshan set his sights on the special operations brigade.

So he sent a telegram to Huang Changsheng, he wanted to borrow 200 soldiers from the special operations brigade and disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers.

"Let the communications soldier take this telegram and return to the military headquarters to find Deputy Brigade Commander Yan and ask him for someone!"

As long as these 200 soldiers arrived, then interspersed with some of their soldiers, disguised as Japanese soldiers.

The progress of the new 33rd Army on the Yangquan side is slow, but the little devils are making rapid progress in Luoyang, and the walls of Luoyang have all been occupied by the little devils, if it were not for the division commander in the city who was determined to give the little devils a decisive battle in Luoyang City, I am afraid that Luoyang has now fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.

The national army defending the city was compressed in the south and east of the city, and the west and north of the city all fell into the hands of the Japanese army, and only scattered areas were still resisting the Japanese army, but these scattered areas were destined to not play much role.

Luoyang City is in danger, if the support troops do not arrive, I am afraid it will not last for a few days, but the soldiers of the national army still did not give up, and the officers and soldiers worked together and continued to deal with the Japanese army in the city.
