Chief Yan has 10,000 and Chairman Yan has 20,000, even for the sake of these 30,000 yuan, Hu Fei has to hurry up and go down the mountain.

At the beginning, in order to lure those hundreds of devils into the mountains, Hu Fei led his troops to the mountains in the northeast of Jin. Now it's time to come out on his own, and he's going to have to do a lot of work too! Although you won't get lost, the journey is there, and when you enter the mountain, you can walk for four and a half days, and when you go out of the mountain, you can't do it for two or three days, right?

No one expected that in the past few days when Hu Fei was fighting with the two devil squadrons in Wangjiashan and finally annihilating them, the Battle of Tianzhen had a shocking change for the world! Because of the stubborn resistance of the 61st Army defending Tianzhen, the Japanese army bypassed Tianzhen from the other side and attacked Yanggao after a fruitless onslaught for three days and three nights.

The 61st Army placed its main force in Tianzhen and its surrounding mountains, and Yanggao County, which was located in its rear, was empty. The Japanese army used superior firepower to open the gap, bypassed Tianzhen, and then used its mechanized corps to advance quickly, occupying Yanggao County in one fell swoop. At this point, the national army on the Tianzhen battlefield suddenly became a lone army. And Tianzhen has also lost its important strategic significance.

After Li Fuying reported to the headquarters of the theater commander, after holding on for seven days, he led his troops to withdraw from the Tianzhen battlefield and retreat to the front line of Yanmen Pass to rest and recuperate.

As soon as the retreat order was given, the soldiers of the 399th Regiment defending Tianzhen all beat their feet and cried loudly! A small Tianzhen has already sacrificed too many of their comrades, and the soldiers are reluctant to leave! However, the military fate is hard to disobey! As a soldier, you must obey orders unconditionally!

The officers and men of the 399th Regiment had no choice but to withdraw from Tianzhen with regret, and blew up all the bridges on Pingsui Road on the way to Yanmen Pass. On September 12, the Japanese army occupied Tianzhen, and the barrier in northern Jin was lost. At this time, Hu Fei had just walked to the mountain pass of Wangjia Mountain.

After leaving the mountain, he contacted the troops, and Hu Fei also learned the news of the loss of Tianzhen at this time. If you lose it, you will lose it, who makes the devil powerful? If one Tianzhen is lost, then we will fight the devil again in the next Tianzhen! Anyway, we will never give up until we drive the devils out of China!

Most of the troops retreated to Yanmen Pass, and Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade also retreated to the direction of Yanmen Pass.

The 61st Army was on its way to retreat to Yanmen Pass. In Fanzhi County, army commander Li Fuying held an operational review meeting, and all the divisions, brigades, and regiments under his command were absent except for Hu Fei, the colonel and captain of the brigade, who was absent.

At the review meeting, General Li Fuying summed up the lessons and lessons of the Battle of Tianzhen, and the officers attending the meeting reviewed the shortcomings of their troops on the battlefield one after another, hoping to learn from the lessons when they fought the Japanese army next time.

The battle review meeting was a success, and the officers of the 61st Army regained their fighting spirit and prepared to fight the Japanese invaders again on the battlefield at a later date.

After the review meeting, the chief of staff sent a telegram from the theater commander's department, and Chief Yan ordered Commander Li Fuying to immediately rush to the Taihe Pass, that is, Yanmen Pass, to attend the commander-level combat meeting.

The chief didn't dare to disobey when he had an order, and Li Fuying immediately packed up and prepared to go to Taihe Yamaguchi for a meeting first.

"Junza, Taihe Mountain Pass can't go!" Chief of Staff Liu Jinsheng stopped Li Fuying, "We don't know what the Theater Commander's Department says about the Battle of Tianzhen, and you don't know Director Yan's character, so we have to guard against it!" ”

As soon as Chief of Staff Liu said this, Li Fuying felt a sigh in his heart. He couldn't be clearer about Chief Yan's personality, and it was light to say that he was cunning. This time the Battle of Tianzhen was lost by the 61st Army anyway, in case Yan Xishan turned his face, then he was really more than lucky! However, Li Fuying also has confidence in his heart, he has a certificate in his hand!

At the beginning, it was Fu Zuoyi who sent someone to send Yan Xishan's telegram order to "retreat from the camera", and Li Fuying was ordered to withdraw his troops. If Director Yan really plans to turn his face and deny people, Li Fuying will take out this telegram! With a telegram as proof, no matter how unreasonable Director Yan is, he can't help but admit the orders he has given, right?

Li Fuying thought that he was not sorry for the chief, the country and the army, so he just laughed at the dissuasion of the chief of staff, packed up his things, and left Fanzhi County with a few entourages and rushed to Taihe Pass!

As soon as he left, General Fu Zuoyi's telegram was sent to the military headquarters of the 61st Army. General Fu also warned Li Fuying in the telegram not to leave the army and go to see Director Yan alone. Liu Jinsheng took General Fu's telegram and rode a fast horse to catch up with Li Fuying.

After reading the message, General Li let out a long laugh, "Yisheng's kindness Li has understood." Jin Sheng, go back and sue sù Yisheng, Li is not sorry for the chief, I am not sorry for the country, I have a clear conscience! After finishing speaking, he resolutely got on the horse and set off.

What Li Fuying didn't expect was that he was detained as soon as he arrived at Taihe Pass. Where did the commander-level military meeting come from? It was completely Yan who designed to arrest Li Fuying! Until the special military court of the Taiyuan Pacification Office opened on 2 October, Li Fuying did not return to the army until his death.

Hu Fei's level naturally didn't know the news that the army commander Li Fuying had been detained, and he led the cavalry brigade to catch up with the large army from behind, and slowly retreated towards Yanmen Pass.

You can't go without a commander in the army for a day. The army commander will never return, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of discussion in the army from top to bottom, and all kinds of rumors will arise one after another. Hu Fei is now a middle-level officer of the 61st Army, and he usually talks and chats with the officers of friendly and neighboring troops. Sometimes when it comes to the army commander Li Fuying, the officers will inevitably complain.

These people were once under the command of Commander Li, and the lords who followed the commander to the battlefield. They also heard the news that Li Fuying was detained by Chief Yan, and the officers were aggrieved by the commander's grievances.

We fought well in the Battle of Tianzhen, and it was you, Commander Yan, who ordered us to retreat, so why should we put all the blame on our army commander now?

Hu Fei had only been in the 61st Army for a short time, and he had met Li Fuying twice in total, so of course he would not have any deep feelings for such a commander. However, after hearing this kind of talk too much, even if he no longer has an impression of Commander Li, it is inevitable that he will sympathize with Li Fuying's failure from his heart.

What is the use of empathy? With Hu Fei's current position and status, he can't decide the future and fate of Commander Li. Chief Yan's will is not something that he, a small colonel, can decide! From the conversations with his colleagues, Hu Fei had a relatively in-depth understanding of the life of this director of the Appeasement Office and the commander of the war zone, as well as his family history.

The 61st Army finally has a new commander. This army commander is the famous General Chen Changjie! This general once led his troops to fight the Japanese army to the death during the Battle of Nankou, and it is said that the record is quite good!
