The four regiment commanders shook their heads like rattles, a few of them only knew that the little devil was coming to attack, where did they know so many other things, and they didn't even know that the commander of the little devil was Gangmura Ningji, let alone other intelligence.

Liao Fan looked at the four regiment leaders helplessly, then sat down and took a sip of water: "Hey~ Originally, I was quite confident!" After Liao Fan put down the water glass, he rubbed his slightly sour temples, he didn't close his eyes for a minute last night, and arranged the battle plan with confidence, but he didn't expect the four regiment commanders to be hit in an instant early in the morning.

"Brother Fan, as long as you are here, we will have confidence!" Ma Wanzhong said to Liao Fan.

Liao Fanqiang supported his tired body and looked at a few people, and then told the matter: "Before I talk about the next thing, I will give you an order, you go back and give the order to me immediately, your regiments must set up their own intelligence systems, I don't care how rubbish your intelligence system is, but there must be, even if only one person gives you intelligence in the county, you must arrange this person for me to go into the county." ”

Liao Fan suddenly felt like the nanny of the four regiment commanders, rather than the commander of the independent 33rd Division: "Li Weimin did the best this time, the spy thing is the information that their second regiment learned first, Li Weimin deserves praise, you three regiments want to learn from Li Weimin, you can't rely on me to worry about everything, right?" Are you all uncles, and I'm running errands? Do you have a service? ”

It's been so long since he came to Taihang Mountain, and it's the first time Liao Fan has complained in front of his subordinates, although the four regiment commanders have matured in terms of operations, but in other aspects, Liao Fan always feels like mentally handicapped children.

Seeing that Liao Fan almost knelt down for the four of them to beg grandpa to tell grandma, the four of them looked embarrassed, and only then did they know that what they had to do was not only busy expanding the troops, but also more things, such as intelligence......

"Alright, let's get down to business! Gangcun Ningci has gathered 300,000 troops to launch a large-scale battle, including the Fifth Theater of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, as well as our Taihang Mountain, and our 33rd Independent Division is facing about 100,000 troops, and there may be more. Liao Fan returned to a serious state and said to the four regiment commanders.

The four regiment commanders looked at Liao Fan in surprise, 300,000 people is really not a small number, this time they really feel how important intelligence is.

"Brother Fan, is it too late for us to prepare?" Liu Chundao glanced at Liao Fan secretly, and then quickly lowered his head, he felt that he was very mentally retarded in this question, but he had to ask, because the little devil's plane had been circling for several days, which meant that the little devil was already preparing for this battle, and the four of them didn't know anything yet.

The other three regiment commanders didn't feel that Liu Chundao's question was very retarded, because they also wanted to know, maybe the 100,000 Japanese troops had arrived at their doorstep at this time and were arranging their troops.

"I've already scattered the reconnaissance battalion directly under the division headquarters! Zhi Zhengming has not sent back any news, indicating that we still have time, and once the little devil moves, we will definitely know. Liao Fan said to Liu Chundao.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, in the military view they were still immature, and they still had a long way to go......

"Since Gangcun Ningci sent a large army to attack Taihang Mountain, I don't plan to sit idly by, I want to take the initiative to attack, so I have the battle plan for attacking the three county towns I said at the beginning!" Liao Fan continued the content of the meeting.

"Brother Fan, I have a question, after we have knocked down the three county seats, what do we need to do next?" Liu Chundao continued to ask, it is easy to conquer three county seats, but it will be difficult to do things after conquering three county seats.

Once the three county towns are captured, the materials and ammunition are okay, and they are directly packed and transported back to Taihang Mountain, but what about the local people? According to their plan, it was impossible for the troops to hold the three county towns, and once they withdrew, the Japanese troops would definitely be re-stationed in the three county towns, and the common people would suffer as a result.

"Once the three county towns are breached, they will immediately recruit troops on the spot, and then mobilize the people to cooperate with the troops, and destroy all the railways around the three county towns, as for the roads, all we have to do is plough the roads for the fields, and destroy all the roads, once the mechanized troops of the little devils arrive in Jindong, there is no road, their heavy weapons will not have much effect, and they can also limit their logistics supply lines, and we are fighting for consumption in this battle." Liao Fan said.

"As for the local people who are willing to follow us into the mountains, they will retreat into the mountains together when we retreat, and when we reoccupy the county seat in the future, we will help them rearrange it." The history of war is a history of destruction, but Liao Fan doesn't want to blindly destroy, they can pat their butts and leave after the war, but it is always those who suffer the most helpless people.

……

Liao Fan and the four regiment commanders discussed the battle plan in the command headquarters all morning, and it was not until noon that everyone was hungry and hungry that Liao Fan suspended the military meeting, and everyone rested for an hour and continued to discuss the battle plan after lunch.

"Brother Fan, Pingding County is too close to Yangquan and Taiyuan, once our attack is frustrated, the Japanese troops in these two directions will definitely support it, and there is also a Japanese army brigade stationed in Xinzhou in the north, if we can't capture Pingding County in time, the attacking troops may be surrounded." Li Weimin looked at the map, and it was too dangerous to attack Pingding County.

"Pingding County is the key to resisting the Japanese army in Yangquan and Taiyuan, we must take it down, if there is no blockage in Pingding County, the Japanese army from Taiyuan and Yangquan will drive south, and we can't hold Xiyang and Heshun County!" Hu Guoshan also looked at the map, holding his chin in his hand, and thought seriously. "As for the Japanese army in Xinzhou, it is easy to do, as long as we send troops to attack Beitai and Dingxiang, the Japanese army in Xinzhou will not dare to move, in order to prevent accidents, we can send a battalion of troops to secretly infiltrate the vicinity of Xinzhou, if the Japanese army in Xinzhou dares to go south to support, we will take the opportunity to storm and take Dingxiang, and then take Xinzhou."

In Hu Guoshan's eyes, the Japanese army in the direction of Xinzhou is not too big a problem, even if they want to go south to support, now according to the strength of nearly 7,000 people in one of their regiments, they can completely divide their troops to resist the Japanese army in the direction of Xinzhou, but the most headache is the Japanese army in Yangquan, Yangquan is too close to Pingding County, and the little devil can arrive within an hour from the north.

Even if their troops end the battle within an hour, they don't have time to set up defenses to resist the reinforcements of the little devils, and the pacification of the county town will definitely change hands again in a short time.

"It would be great if we could directly rebel against the puppet army in the city, and then cooperate with the soldiers of the special combat team who infiltrated into the city, and attack the military camp in Pingding County, and contain the support of the Japanese army in the city to the city wall, our troops sneaked into Pingding County overnight, taking advantage of the emptiness of the little devil's defense, it only takes ten minutes to take down the entire city wall, and then part of the troops attack the little devil's barracks, and part of the troops arrange the defense outside the county!" Ma Wanzhong suggested.

Liao Fan paced back and forth in the headquarters, listening to the discussion of several people, considering from all aspects, Ma Wanzhong's suggestion was the most convenient and fast way, but he also had to be prepared, once the puppet army in the county refused to give in, they could only storm and pacify the county seat. The most important thing is that if the puppet army does not comply, it is very likely that their operation will be leaked to the little devils through the puppet army, and if the information is leaked, the plan arranged by Liao Fan will be in vain.

"Guard, go to the school to inform ** Fei, let him find Zhi Zheng's name and return to the command headquarters, and then ** Fei will temporarily take over everything in the reconnaissance battalion!"

Regardless of whether Ma Wanzhong's suggestion was feasible or not, and regardless of whether the puppet army was in line or not, Liao Fan decided to give it a try, once successful, they would not only be able to resist the Japanese troops who were going south to support, but they could also reduce the large number of casualties of the troops, preserve the vital forces, and continue to fight with the supporting Japanese troops.

"Once the rebellion against the puppet army is unsuccessful, we must also attack!" Fighting a war is a risky thing, and it is still worth taking a risk to try the matter of plotting against the puppet army, "As for the offensive plan of the other two counties, do you have any objections?" ”

The four regiment commanders shook their heads, saying that they had no objections, Liao Fan's battle plan had been written very clearly last night, although these two county towns were on the main road of transportation, but the little devils continued to draw troops from the rear to support the battle ahead, and only Heshun County still kept the complete troops of the two squadrons in the three county towns, and the rest of the troops were all puppet troops.

"Since there are no objections, I will assign combat tasks next, and now you report the number of people and weapons and equipment of each regiment!"

Although the logistics department has detailed personnel and weapons for each unit in the recent frenzied expansion of the 33rd Independent Division, it cannot hold back a few regiment commanders who like to hide and hide their combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, after the four regiment commanders dismantled each other, the specific numbers and combat effectiveness of the four regiments also emerged, and after Ma Wanzhong's exhibition in the past six months, the first regiment had more than 6,700 troops, and in addition to the companies directly under the regiment, there were also 15 battalions. Hu Guoshan of the Third Regiment became a real landlord and old wealth, and in addition to the artillery company, reconnaissance company and other directly subordinate companies, there were two more battalions of troops than the first regiment. This can't be blamed for Lao Hu's crazy expansion, in the first battle with the little devil, the formation of the three regiments was almost wiped out, Hu Guoshan certainly didn't want this matter to happen for the second time, so he stuffed his head and expanded vigorously, becoming the first regiment of the independent 33rd Division.

However, the consequence of the frenzied expansion was that both the first and third regiments had infiltrated a large number of spies, and if these spies were not found out for a day, sooner or later they would become the bane of the troops.

"When did you have so many people in the three regiments?" Liao Fan frowned, he thought that some time ago, a group of people had been allocated from the third regiment to the second regiment, how could there be so many people.
