The Young Marshal's Mansion in Beijing.

Since the war of the Wehrmacht's million-strong army, Feng Yong's life has become tense and fulfilling. In the war room, the huge map of China was densely divided by the operational staff. Among them, with the exception of the First Army, the other units of the Wehrmacht have achieved great results on the map.

"Young Marshal, I have just received a telegram from the First Army, after a night of hard fighting the day before yesterday, the troops used incendiary bombs, and today officially occupied Luoyang City. Wu Peifu's army withdrew and disappeared without a trace, judging that it might be about to launch a movement war. Li Yang said with a strange face.

"Hehe, if Wu Peifu really does this, Hu Jingyi's trouble will not be small." After Feng Yong received the telegram, he was much more relieved. To be honest, as to whether Hu Jingyi is a qualified military commander, Young Marshal Feng has no bottom in his heart. After all, his memory of Hu Jingyi comes from his previous life. In this life, because of his butterfly effect, the whole world has changed a lot. Hu Jingyi's life trajectory has also changed a lot. Although Hu Jingyi performed very well during Feng Yong's inspection. But Feng Yong was still unsure whether he could still be a good commander. Therefore, when the Fourth Route Army went south, Feng Yong paid the most attention to the First Group Army of the National Defense Army. In addition, after the start of the war, the other armies had good news, but the First Army did not have the slightest news. In order not to put pressure on Hu Jingyi as much as possible, Feng Yong only sent a telegram to the front headquarters to inquire, and did not dare to send a telegram directly to the First Group Army. Now that the results of the battle finally came, Feng Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, as Hu Jingyi, who was commanding such a large-scale force for the first time, Feng Yong never had the luxury of expecting him to defeat Wu Peifu. Feng Yong only hoped that he could entangle with Wu Peifu, involve Wu Peifu's army, and make a good plan for the operations of several other armies. Now that Hu Jingyi has won Luoyang City, at least it proves that his vision of Young Marshal Feng is still very accurate.

Reassuring Hu Jingyi, Feng Yong naturally focused more on other armies. After all, to destroy Beiyang, these armies are the key.

"Our national defense force is the ancestor of sports warfare, and if we really want to play sports warfare, Wu Peifu may not be able to gain the upper hand." Li Yang said unconvinced.

Feng Yong smiled and said nothing.

"The Second Army is almost in Zhengzhou, right?" Feng Yong raised his head and asked.

"Yes, the Second Army was like a bamboo along the way, breaking through the four lines of defense of the Beiyang Army and defeating more than 80,000 captured Beiyang Army. The troops of the direct general Sun Chuanfang have already retreated to the city of Zhengzhou, and it is believed that it will not be long before Commander Zhenzhen will attack the city. Li Yang said loudly.

"Good. Zhen Zhen and Yan Xishan partnered, and the two commander-level figures cooperated with each other, and they were really powerful. Feng Yong said with a sigh.

Since the start of the war between the Wehrmacht and the Beiyang, the Second Army has advanced the fastest. Not only was the commander of the Second Group Army, Zhen Zhen, an outstanding military commander, but Yan Xishan, deputy commander and chief of staff, also an excellent general.

After Yan Xishan surrendered to Beijing, he was appointed as the commander of the Shanxi garrison, and the soldiers in his hands were also reorganized into the Shanxi garrison. To be honest, it was a bit overkill to reorganize the Jin army, which was strong in combat under Yan Xishan, into a local garrison. Many generals in the Jin army were famous all over the world in the original time and space because of the Central Plains War and the War of Resistance Against Japan. Like Shang Zhen in the Jin army, Yang Aiyuan, and Fu Zuoyi. They are all extremely good generals. These people are really overkill as officers in the reserve forces. This time, the Wehrmacht went south to fight, and because of its geographical location, Shanxi was just right for the army to go south. So Feng Yong took advantage of the situation to reorganize all the troops of the Jin Army into the 30th Army of the National Defense Army. Among them, it has the 60th Division and the 61st Division, Yan Xishan is also the commander of the 30th Army, Yang Aiyuan is the commander of the 60th Division, and Fu Zuoyi is the commander of the 61st Division, with a total strength of 60,000 troops. Comparable in number to the Wehrmacht's First Army. The 30th Army of the National Defense Army can be said to have included all the Jin troops that Yan Xishan had worked hard to cultivate, and broke up the establishment and redivided it. Of course, it seems that the generals of the 30th Army are all officers of the Jin Army, but don't forget. In peacetime, the opinions of the political commissars are the main thing in the affairs of the army, and in war, the military commanders can monopolize power. As for the popularity of the National Independence Party in the Wehrmacht. Because of the sensitivity of the 30th Army and taking care of Yan Xishan's feelings, Feng Yong did not let the National Independence Party develop in the 30th Army. Of course, most of the political commissars dispatched by the 30th Army were members of the National Independence Party. …,

After such a long period of development, the National Independence Party is no longer as weak as it was when it was founded, and with the impetus of Feng Shaoshuai behind it, the entire National Independence Party has swelled extremely rapidly and spread to all aspects of the Beijing government, both the military and the government. Although the influence of the Kuomintang in the whole country is not as great as that of the Kuomintang, the rudiments of a large party at the national level have already taken shape, and it is believed that in the future, with the continuous victories of the National Defense Forces, the National Independence Party will also develop into a giant among the Chinese political parties.

"Commander, this is an operational report from the Second Army. Please take a look at it. Li Yang took the latest telegram from the confidential staff officer and said.

Feng Yong opened it and looked at it, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, and said, "Zhen Zhen is also more mature." Feng Yong just looked at it, as long as he approved the battle plan, he would let the staff officer block it, and he would not make any replies and instructions. As long as Feng Yong felt that there was a big problem with the battle plan, he would go over the front-line command and personally supervise it. Of course, there will be contact with the front-line command beforehand.

Henan, in order to avoid the spread of war, Beiyang moved the provincial capital of Henan from Luoyang, which was close to the front of the Wehrmacht, to Zhengzhou. Unfortunately, the capital of Henan was destined to withstand the baptism of artillery fire, and even if it moved to Zhengzhou, it was still hit by the national defense forces in a very short time. Unlike Luoyang, the people in Zhengzhou did not evacuate. Sun Chuanfang, a direct general, ordered the Sifang City Gate to be closed and the common people were forbidden to flee. Unlike Wu Peifu, although Sun Chuanfang is also a famous general in Beiyang, he is only famous, and there is no comparison with a world-famous general like Wu Peifu. Therefore, in the face of the attack of the Wehrmacht, he did not think about victory before defeat. Relying on the name of the central government, the National Defense Forces advertised itself as a division of benevolence and righteousness and a division of kings. Beiyang was declared a rebel army. Of course, this statement is just the opposite of propaganda under Beiyang. But in order to maintain this benevolent and righteous name, the Wehrmacht did nothing in the way the army passed. It's also excellent for the common people. This made Sun Chuanfang regard the people of a city as his trump card. If he really loses. This city full of ordinary people may be able to be the straw for his escape and ascension.

The reason why Sun Chuanfang did this was because he relied on the superior terrain to arrange four lines of defense on the way south of the Second Army. But in just three days, the Wehrmacht not only soared 200 miles, but also broke his four lines of defense, most of which were garrisoned by soldiers. You know, his fourth line of defense is composed of 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands. Even so, the fourth line of defense only prevented the Wehrmacht from breaking through in just over half an hour. The elite soldiers were scattered, and none of the ten who fled back to Zhengzhou remained. Moreover, according to the soldiers who fled, the Wehrmacht's Second Army was very strong in combat and had a very, very high level of firepower and equipment. This reminded Sun Chuanfang of the rumors that the Chinese Defense Force was overpowering the refined troops. Thinking of it, it was with such a unit that Zhen Zhen relied on to fight the Japanese Imperial Army lost its armor and was wiped out. Now that Zhen Zhen is commanding the army, who knows that his subordinates are not all such troops?

Under the city of Zhengzhou, the elite army of the Second Group Army slowly approached.

Provisional Command of the Second Army.

"Commander, although Zhengzhou also has a well-established defensive wall, its thickness is limited, and the blue brick structure is relatively easy to break. With our firepower level, we can blast through the city wall in a few hours, and without the city wall, Sun Chuanfang is nothing. Yan Xishan suggested.

"Nope. We don't fight Zhengzhou. Leave a force to spy on them. We bypassed Zhengzhou and continued south. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Continue south?" Yan Xishan was stunned. You must know that although Sun Chuanfang suffered heavy losses, he still has about 100,000 troops in his hands, among which there are still many elite soldiers, and his combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. ..., "Yes, according to our intelligence, Sun Chuanfang ordered Zhengzhou City to be under martial law, and none of the people in the city escaped, if we start a war now, it will definitely cause a lot of casualties to civilians, and Sun Chuanfang is a ruthless person, if he is really forced to hurry." He and the common people have a jade burning, and the gains outweigh the losses. Anyway, he is now cowering in Zhengzhou City, and there is no threat to us, so why should we be in a hurry. Zhen Zhen said with a smile.

"How many troops is the commander going to leave behind to supervise Zhengzhou?" Yan Xishan asked.

"Deputy Commander Yan. I am going to ask you to stay behind and take command of the troops directly under the military headquarters of the 30th Army and the Yang Aiyuan division of the 60th Division. And with 50,000 new soldiers. Stay outside Zhengzhou and supervise Zhengzhou. Zhen Zhen said.

"This ......," Yan Xishan groaned.

"Deputy Commander Yan. Sun Chuanfang is just a small character, if it weren't for the people who were all over the city, I'm afraid I would have chosen to attack the city as soon as possible. We, the We-Defense, now claim to be the army of benevolence and righteousness, and we cannot watch the life and death of the common people in a city. In the face of this situation, it is better to bypass Zhengzhou, sweep the entire southern Henan, and turn Zhengzhou into a lonely city, to see what Sun Chuanfang has to support it. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"If you have already made a decision, Commander, I, Yan Xishan, will definitely help you defend Zhengzhou. When necessary, I will personally solve Sun Chuanfang. "Yan Xishan is also a decisive character. Yan Xishan was undoubtedly a proud person, but now he was working under Zhen Zhen, who was younger than him, so he naturally felt a little awkward. Now Zhen Zhen offered to let him lead the troops alone, no matter what Zhen Zhen's purpose was, he would support it. And he, Yan Xishan, as a general, is the time when he needs military merits to prove himself. And Sun Chuanfang's persimmon that is neither soft nor hard is a good choice.
