The continuous heavy blow to the Japanese army, and the world media, including TASS, the Associated Press and major European media, have conducted detailed reports. Especially for the war breaking out in China's battlefield, the so-called mediation voice of the League of Nations began to be released again. Even the German media hoped that China and Japan would sit down to negotiate with the wish of peace.

It is gratifying that although the Chinese army stubbornly withstood the Japanese attack in the west, the Japanese were still making progress smoothly and vigorously on other battlefields. The Japanese media did not talk about the disastrous defeat in the west, but instead promoted the victory of other battlefields. The annoyed and embarrassed Japanese base camp quickly instructed the East China occupation forces to prepare for the Battle of Wuhan. At the same time, the Japanese army first kicked off the attack on Guangzhou.

Because the Japanese army had a very obvious intention to attack Wuhan, they successfully mobilized troops from the southern coast, which created conditions for the Japanese army to attack Guangdong. When Chongqing saw the results achieved by Mu Yaping in Henan, their confidence increased greatly, and they were determined to defend Wuhan. However, Chiang Kai-shek launched an offensive against the Japanese army and could only watch the Japanese army show their power. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before Guangzhou was lost.

Mu Yaping received the Japanese army in Baotou and was preparing to make suggestions to Chongqing, but then he thought that with Chiang Kai-shek's temper, he would still not adopt his own suggestions. It would be better to give Chiang a little face! After all, Chiang Kai-shek's experience through the Henan defense operations can play a certain role in appreciating the warning. As for what he can be beaten, it depends on Chiang Kai-shek's on-site command.

Mu Yaping knew very well that even if he gave the advice and adopted it, the ending would be very good. This is like an excellent chef who accurately told you all the cooking processes, including how much salt you put, but the dishes you stir-fry still did not taste. What's more, the ability to decide, command, details and other factors on the battlefield have uncertain impact on the situation. Therefore, Mu Yaping decided not to interfere in Chongqing's command operations.

There are also factors. Compared with the original history, the Japanese army concentrated twice as much as possible. Although Chongqing has strengthened its combat power with its own assistance, under the heavy attack of the Japanese army, and the cunning fox Okamura Yasuji, the cunning fox, entered the stage early, it is inevitable that Wuhan will be lost. He hopes that Chiang Kai-shek will try his best to keep the losses within an acceptable range.

In a forest on the west side of Baotou, a truck and two cars were hidden in the woods. At this time, Japanese bombers appeared in the sky, and two Japanese bombers were bombing the transportation team on the road. Mu Yaping and Lu Dahu stood beside the cars and watched the scene on the road silently. About 10 minutes later, the Japanese bombers flew away. Mu Yaping said: "The transportation team on the road has a rich air defense experience. Are they doing well? It seems that they have become accustomed to it and have adapted to it in the long-term air strikes of Japanese bombers."

Lu Dahu said: "Yes! We have won the battle against each other, and the people in the rear were deeply encouraged. When the Japanese bomber bombed, the people in the transport team did not seem to be panicked at all. They were very skilled in hiding methods." Mu Yaping said: "War is a textbook. Learning about war in war. Our Chinese nation must grow rapidly in war. The Chinese nation is invincible."

Mu Yaping continued: "After several cruel blocking operations, it is impossible for the Japanese army to launch a major offensive to the west. The strategy of the Japanese base camp must be greatly adjusted. China's War of Resistance Against Japan will enter a stalemate stage. The next step is to enter a very difficult period. But adversity may be a good thing. We must seize this favorable opportunity to quickly develop the wartime economy. Many things that cannot be done in peacetime are now provided with us. "

Lu Dahu said: "Commander Mu! It seems that your trip to the west will last a long time!" Mu Yaping said: "I will stay in the west until mid-next year before returning to Taiyuan." At this time, a cavalry unit appeared outside the woods. Two soldiers carrying short guns walked into the woods with three horses. Lu Dahu said: "Commander Mu! I'll send you here. What are your instructions?"

Mu Yaping said: "Who are you going to take to Lanzhou after you step down before the end of the year?" Lu Dahu said without hesitation: "I am going to bring Liao Hui with me, he is the best candidate." Mu Yaping nodded and said: "Caval Commander, who are you going to recommend? Are there any suitable candidates?" "I am going to recommend Bai Huchen as the commander of the First Cavalry Army!" "Very good! If you report the list, I will officially issue an appointment."

Lu Dahu rode on the war horse and said, "Commander, be careful that I will leave along the way!" Then he said goodbye to Jiang Xiuli. After Lu Dahu turned around Suiyuan, Mu Yaping and his wife got into the car. After the car started, they drove out of the woods and turned to the highway, and continued to drive westward. After a while, they boarded the highway and joined the transport teams that were coming and going on. Two cars and a truck appeared on the highway, which were very eye-catching.

"Yaping, after arriving at Wuyuan, you will see your son!" Jiang Xiuli broke the silence and said. Mu Yaping said, "What's wrong with your son? I'm not your son?" Jiang Xiuli was embarrassed and said, "After all, I'm not that true to me, and I'm not familiar with the Anti-Japanese War. The child is already over teenagers, so I will definitely reject me."

Mu Yaping sighed and said, "The child has always been in the late autumn. Frankly speaking, he is very distant from me. After you arrive at Wuyuan this time, you will take the child to us and plan to make up for your care for the child. I am going to live in Wuyuan for two months." "I am really worried that the child will not accept me," Jiang Xiuli said nervously. Mu Yaping put his hand on the waist of his wife and said, "Gold and stone are open, I think you will definitely do it!"

A few days later, Mu Yaping and his team arrived at Wuyuan. Due to the bomber's voyage, Wuyuan was not attacked by Japanese airstrikes. Looking around, Wuyuan City and the surrounding factories were filled with thick smoke, and a tense and busy production scene. The rice fields that were rising and the heavy rice ears were shining, indicating a bumper harvest.

The sun was shining and all the prominent figures who had already heard the news gathered outside Wuyuan City, waiting anxiously for Mu Yaping and others to arrive. Mu Yaping and his wife got out of the car and saw Yan Xishan, the highest executive of the four western provinces, in one glance. The fat Yan Xishan obviously lost weight a lot. His face turned a little white and his eyes were black, but he was in good spirits. When he saw Mu Yaping, he obviously saw that he was a little excited.

Shang Zhen, who was standing beside him, was even more shaking, with his beard on his face trembling. Later, Jiang Sen was haggard and gray. His cheeks collapsed and his entire outline seemed to be deformed. Especially his beard was unshaven and unkempt, he seemed to have become much older. It is not difficult to see that these prominent figures have suffered unimaginable physical and mental torture during this period.

At this time, Yan Xishan's eyes were a little wet. He took the initiative to come forward and hugged Mu Yaping. This action was for the first time for Yan Xishan. Out of excitement, he almost couldn't help expressing it. Yan Xishan seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't say a word. When hugging Shang Zhen, Shang Zhen said incoherently: "We won! We won!" When hugging Jiang Sen, Jiang Sen choked and said, "Brother Mu! You've been killed!" Mu Yaping smiled and said, "You said that, if you don't know the truth, I would have thought you had a serious illness!"

Mu Yaping passed by everyone and saw Lu Chuanxiong behind him, stepped forward and held his hand with a deep pain, saying, "Master Lu, I am so sad, Lu Yue is good, you have given birth to a good daughter." Lu Chuanxiong calmly said, "My daughter brings glory to her father, and does not insult the glory of the Lu family, and does not insult the commander's cultivation and teaching. I am proud of my daughter!" Hearing Lu Chuanxiong's words, Mu Yaping's nose felt a little sour. In order to conceal him, he quickly shook hands with other officials one by one, and tried his best to stabilize his emotions.

Finally, Yan Xishan proposed to welcome Mu Yaping, and soon a sequel stopped in front of a restaurant in Wuyuan City. The restaurant was not open for business today, and it was deliberately arranged in advance to welcome Mu Yaping and others. Soon, the male and female guests and relatives sat in the restaurant. When they met outside the city just now, many female scrolls cried. At this time, they seemed to be still wandering in an excited atmosphere, still silent.

During the meal, Yan Xishan spoke first on behalf of everyone: "Everyone, under the wise command of Commander Mu, under the bloody battle of the officers and soldiers, and with the support of all the people, we blocked the fierce attack of the Japanese army and achieved a great victory in defensive operations. On behalf of all colleagues in the rear of the Great Republic, I would like to express a warm welcome to Commander Mu and express a noble tribute to the officers and soldiers on the front line!"

Everyone applauded warmly, and Mu Yaping stood up and said, "First of all, we observed a silence for the officers and soldiers who died in the defensive battle and worshiped their heroic spirits." After that, Mu Yaping sprinkled a glass of wine on the ground. Everyone stood up and died in silence, perhaps thinking of the soldiers who died on the front line, many female members choked and the atmosphere seemed very tragic.

After mourning, Mu Yaping signaled everyone to sit down and said: "This cruel blocking operation, the military and civilians of the First War Zone paid a huge price and achieved a great victory in defensive operations. This glory is the bloody battle between the soldiers in the front and the strong support from the rear. On behalf of the soldiers in the front, I would like to express a noble salute to everyone here for their selfless dedication and hard work!" After saying that, Mu Yaping raised his hand to salute! Applause rang out.

Mu Yaping continued: "Facts have proved that as long as we unite and unite, we can defeat any powerful enemy. But today I want to tell you that our opponents are still very strong, and the cruel war will continue. In the future, we will enter a very difficult period. Everyone should be fully prepared, that is, to fight against Japanese robbers for a long time. I can tell you responsibly that the Chinese nation is invincible, and we will definitely defeat Japanese robbers in the end." Warm applause sounded again.

After the banquet was dispersed, Mu Yaping didn't have time to rest. He invited Yan Xishan and Shang Zhen to his temporary official residence in Wuyuan to further discuss the difficulties he faced in the future. Lu Chuanxiong returned to the military academy, and Jiang Sen said goodbye in a hurry. He entered the room and sat down. His subordinates brought tea. Jiang Xiuli personally painted tea for the three of them. Then he called the two wives to other rooms.

After sitting down, Yan Xishan first said: "Commander Mu! You don't have to worry about the negative impact of the explosion of the Yellow River Dam. It is said that the winner is impeccable. Turning the tide under such a crisis is a miracle in military history." Shang Zhen said: "Commander Mu, Henan, Zhongtiaoshan's crisis is heartbreaking. Chairman Yan and I could hardly sleep at night. During that period, we were almost like years, as if we had walked through the region." Yan Xishan said: "The key is that you incredibly reverse the situation in one fell swoop and ate a Japanese reorganized division. I want to know that all this was planned?" Mu Yaping said honestly: "Originally, we planned to stabilize the front line at Xin'an, but we didn't expect the 128th Division to surrender to the enemy in the last battle and cause a collapse of the entire line. Later measures were helpless, fortunately, luck was on our side."

Yan Xishan and Shang Zhen sighed when he heard this. At this time, a subordinate hurried in.
Chapter completed!
