The pursuers quickly followed, and the Japanese resisted another desperate resistance. When the officers and soldiers of the New Seventh Army captured the almost ruined Shuiweizi Village, besides the bodies of Japanese killed everywhere, Ogawa had already fled to the lake with dozens of people. Looking up, you could see the shadows of several motor boats and hear the sound of the thud and thud motors.

"Damn it, it's just a little bit." Guo Songlin, who had always been calm and steady, couldn't help but scold him when he heard the news of Xiaochuan's escape.

The cooked duck flew away. A colonel, who was still a relative of the Japanese emperor, would be caught and kept in a cage...

"The front-line inquired about the battle situation, and the military throne inquired about the battle situation..." The confidential staff interrupted Guo Songlin's annoyance.

After suppressing his anger, Guo Songlin tried to speak in a calm tone, "Yangtun Town is still fighting fiercely, and there are only hundreds of Japanese devils left, and there is no problem in completely solving it. The Japanese chief suddenly rushed east and successfully escaped with the support of the Japanese motorboat in Hudong. His subordinates made mistakes in command, despising negligence, and requesting punishment."

…………

"I'm afraid of the enemy chief, let him live for a few more days." Yang Tianfeng just sent a call back to the telegram that Guo Songlin asked for punishment.

This is the combat plan originally formulated. In order to ensure sufficient troops on the attack surface, only a small number of troops were equipped to the Weishan Lake in the east, which was also a siege of three quads and one. Therefore, the enemy from the east of the lake unexpectedly dispatched a motorboat to rescue Xiaochuan, which is not anyone else.

But after this incident, it sounded a wake-up call to Yang Tianfeng. Although Weishan Lake is a barrier, it would be very dangerous to not be on guard. The Japanese are obviously short of troops now and dare not cross the lake for reinforcements. The current approach is wise, otherwise they will be driven into the lake to feed fish.

Now, the enemy's mobile troops have been completely lost, and the number of them huddled in several counties is very small, either retreating in panic or being destroyed by the city. The Battle of Huxi has entered the final stage until now.

Learning about war in war is not only Yang Tianfeng’s requirement for his subordinates, but also for himself. From strategies and tactics, troops organization, to weapons and equipment, they are constantly being adjusted and improved to better adapt to the environment and conditions of the War of Resistance.

The Battle of Long Kang tested the power and effect of air bombs, which made Yang Tianfeng abandon the air bombs of the 82 mortar and only produced 120 heavy-forces; the Battle of Huxi practiced the effectiveness of new weapons such as recoilless cannons and heavy snipers in actual combat; and it also proved that it is the right way to strengthen the mule-horse transformation of the troops without developing cavalry.

The cavalry not only consumes a lot, but one cavalry is topped with five or six infantry, but it is also an eliminated group of troops. At least under the equipment of the New Seventh Army, its role is very limited. However, the troops can carry more heavy weapons and ammunition, which is also of great help to the rapid advance of the troops. The troops' continuous movements are very fast and their firepower is also very strong during combat. It has to be said that it is due to the large increase in mules and horses.

Of course, the three months of strict training of the troops has enabled the expansion of the New Seventh Army to maintain a very strong combat effectiveness. Relying on the advantages of medium and close range firepower, if the Japanese do not have division-level heavy artillery, the New Seventh Army can almost fight in a one-on-one number ratio in position defense warfare, which is a very amazing data.

It is very important for Yang Tianfeng to maintain the combat power of the army. Based on such combat power, the military power will be allocated according to the focus and the defense or attack will be more confident.

Looking at the map, Yang Tianfeng turned his gaze to Heze area again. The Battle of Huxi is coming to an end, and a large area is restored, while the Xinguangfu District faces a military threat from the north and west. He also needs to be guarded against the enemy from the east of Huxi and cannot rest assured.

Only the 25th Division is in Huxi, and it is naturally a bit difficult to deal with three threats. Therefore, Yang Tianfeng must continue to take action and strive to relieve the concerns of the enemy in the west for the 25th Division, which is the Heze area.

This is not to have to fight a big battle to restore Heze, but to strengthen the guerrilla force in the Heze area, expand the guerrilla range, restrain the hands and feet of the Heze enemy, and even create an opportunity to expand the results of the war. At the same time, the Heze enemy was restrained, which also ensured the security of the Shangqiu area.

After his thoughts were settled, or he thought more carefully based on the new situation, Yang Tianfeng stepped out of the office.

…………………

A village in Neihuang County, Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region Command.

"Good guy, two divisions, one independent brigade, forty-five thousand troops." Huang Kc looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, "Yang Tianfeng is such a big deal."

"After winter expansion and training, the New Seventh Army is strong and has finally revealed its minions." Political Commissar Cui Tianmin smiled bitterly and said, "When the enemy in Huxi has not yet established a stable foothold and launched a crushing offensive, the time was chosen too well."

Huang Kc nodded slightly and said slowly: "Although it is an advantageous force, the combat power of the New Seventh Army is also impressive!"

Although I want to try my best to recover as soon as possible for the fall of Huxi area, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base and the Shandong-Western base are in an increasingly sharp struggle. We must do our best to deal with the Japanese cages and encroachment, and we cannot draw enough troops for a considerable period of time.

"The exchange of weapons and ammunition has not been interrupted. It is difficult to judge whether the New Seventh Army will become enemies with me when entering Shandong." Cui tm said with thought: "Will the Central Committee and Shandong Branch have new instructions? Do we still have to work according to the previous guidelines? Should the Huxi Prefectural Committee continue to stay or withdraw, this is also an urgent problem to be solved."

"Yang Tianfeng is far-sighted and unthinkable." Huang Kc frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have always avoided the issue of dividing combat areas. I think it is to avoid the problem of dividing combat areas in the future. But if he would be an enemy of our army, this judgment is still too hasty and hasty. I think it is still based on the original work policy: to clear up unity as the main focus, encourage and promote it to fight actively with the enemy. Pay special attention to using people's organizations, public opinion organs and promoting third-party forces to promote the progress of friendly forces. For their non-friendly behavior, use more attitudes of struggle and goodwill criticism."

"If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend others. We must be very cautious about Yang Tianfeng and the New Seventh Army. As a test, I think we can ask for some infantry artillery shells to be exchanged. If given, it can enhance our army's ability to attack artillery towers and destroy strongholds, and effectively curb the Japanese army's encroachment. If..." Cui tm heard the door ringing, stopped talking and turned to look over.

A confidential staff officer came in and handed a telegram, briefly reporting: "The New Seventh Army captured the county town of Peixian and wiped out the defending enemy after fierce battles."

Huang KC and Cui tm exchanged shocked gazes, took the telegram and looked carefully.

Before the Huxi base area fell, it could not occupy the county town, but only controlled the vast rural areas. It was really surprising that the New Seventh Army not only dared to fight with large corps movements and restore the countryside, but also had the ability to defeat the tough and win.

"So fierce!" Huang Kc read the belated telegram, thought for a while, and said with a guess: "It seems that the New Seventh Army not only wants to restore the Huxi area, but also turn it into a stable base."

Cui tm agreed, "It should be like this, otherwise it will not be difficult to break the city. Fengxian, Shanxian and Yutai are likely to be the next target."

Huang KC looked at the map on the wall and said for a long time: "Yang Tianfeng seems to be trying to expand the periphery, support the base as much as possible, and increase the space for strategic maneuver. Judging from the local forces, the enemy of Heze cannot stop the offensive of the New Seventh Army. What's more, didn't Sun Tongxuan's 81st Division move east a few days ago? I think Yang Tianfeng has already set his sights on Heze."

"Such a big appetite?" Cui tm looked at the map, a little surprised.

Huang KC didn't say anything, staring at the map and fell into deep thought.

……………………

The Battle of Southern Guangxi finally achieved local victory. Not only did it repel the Japanese attempt to attack southern Yunnan and directly threaten the rear of the southwest, but it also defeated Longzhou and Nanning after the Fifth Army advanced south to assist the war, and drove all the Japanese troops out of southern Guangxi. Chairman Jiang changed his mind and transferred the Fifth Army to the south to move south because of the plan to enter the territory of the Guangxi clique for future control.

However, affected by the European war, France compromised with Japan and allowed the Japanese army to enter northern Vietnam, completely cutting off the international transportation lines of China's Guizhou and Vietnam.

"... I have had lunch with the President. After yesterday's conversation, he said that if Britain can support it, Europe will have great changes. The article said that France compromised against Japan, making the enemy unscrupulous, and Vietnam's transportation was cut off, which shakes the hearts of the army and the people. Prices in the mainland soared, and military supplies were lacking. The commission sincerely looked forward to the President's instructions. He said that if he made peace with the enemy today, it would be no different from surrender, and the conditions would be as harsh as when fighting one soldier. With the remaining position, of course, it cannot be concluded that China should resist to the end. However, from a friendly standpoint, China is still far from failure, and peace will fail..."

Chairman Chiang looked at the telegram sent by Song Ziwen, a representative to the United States, attentively, and sighed deeply. Roosevelt knew the situation inside China very clearly and spoke out loud, but he did not help much in essence.

Seeing the chairman’s dejected, Song Meilin asked in surprise: “What’s upsetting you?”

"Ziwen's telegram is here." Chairman Jiang pointed to the telegram on the table and said, "Look."

Song Meilin took the telegram and looked at it, saying, "Roosevelt does not agree with peace?"

"It sounds nice, but if he is in my position, he will see that China's economy is so difficult, military supplies are so short, and the situation is so bad..." Chairman Jiang complained and uneasy.

"Roosevelt's judgment is exactly the same as Yang Tianfeng's!" Song Meilin has a good memory. She read the information a few days ago, and Chairman Jiang praised Yang Tianfeng for having a strategic vision!

"Yes, it's exactly the same." Chairman Jiang seemed to be in a better mood and said, "Besides, Yang Tianfeng is very committed to taking over the Huxi base of the Eighth Route Army with one move. Although he is still fighting now, the ending is decided. Uh, it's much better than Zhang Yinwu and Zhu Huaibing's group of rice buckets."

"War with the Eighth Route Army?" Song Meilin asked a little strangely.

"No, it's fighting the Japanese and puppet troops." Chairman Jiang said with a smile on his face, "This is Yang Tianfeng's cleverness. The Japanese army occupied Huxi, and he took the opportunity to regain his lost territory, and he did not receive criticism from the outside world. Uh, the CCP always took my speech in Lushan, "The land is divided into north and south, and the people are old and young, and they have the responsibility to defend the territory and resist the war' as an excuse. He did not abide by the war zones divided by the Military Commission and did not maintain the army according to the given organization. Yang Tianfeng restored Huxi and could be said to be the only way to govern the people."

"It's really smart." Song Meilin lowered her head and continued to look at the telegram, saying: "The Eighth Route Army wanted to go back, causing conflict, and the fault lies with them."

"First occupy the moral high point and then take action, Yang Tianfeng thought very carefully. It is worth it that I gave him the name of the Shandong-Henan-Anhui Border Region." Chairman Jiang nodded in agreement, "It seems that his assistance to the Eighth Route Army may not only be a confusing effect, but also the intention of using the Eighth Route Army to resist the Japanese army for him and share the pressure."

Song Meilin had read the telegram, as if the person who fell into the water was saved, and said happily: "Roosevelt promised the aid, Da Ling."

"Oh, what did he say?" Chairman Jiang also raised his interest.

Song Meilin pointed to the telegram and read it to him, "When China needs currency and material assistance, I am willing to do my best to discuss it with the Ministry of Finance. The United States needs tungsten sand. Although the Import Bank has full amount, it can find another way..."

"Vietnam transport is cut off, and only the road to Yunnan and Burma is left." Chairman Chiang thoughtfully and sat on the sofa, his mental state recovered. "As long as the United States is willing to provide assistance, I have a way to support the current situation."

"Yang Tianfeng has a very difficult background." Song Meilin reminded: "The political attitude towards the United States is so accurate. Even if it is not supported by the US government, it is a powerful interest group and has considerable influence on the government. In any case, his contribution is beneficial to us, the government, and the war of resistance."

"Of course I know this." Chairman Jiang said in a deep thought: "But he is too young and has a shallow qualification. He is now a lieutenant general and is still in charge of the government affairs of the Shandong-Henan-Anhui border area. He is already considered a high position and a high position. He should not be promoted in military ranks and official ranks, so he can only be rewarded from other aspects. Uh, I will tell the following that giving priority to the machinery and equipment he ordered is another comfort and reward! Of course, we must continue to observe and not use it with confidence."

…………………

The snowy field is vast, and the rare sun shines in the air, which quickly gives people a dazzling feeling.

Yang Tianfeng rode on the horse, tightened his military coat, and it seemed that the sweet fragrance of women remained on his body.

It's so good to be gentle, but he couldn't leave. Mercedes-Benz was running in the snow and ice to continue his career.

Zhou Zunshi's 81st Division's eastward transfer to Shangqiu was not only to make up for the gap in the Huxi Battle, but also to provide armed assistance to Xiang Heze's actions. Sun Tongxuan helped Yang Tianfeng, in addition to friendship and common interests, also had his own ideas, which required Yang Tianfeng's strong support in the future.
