"Do you think that the soldiers under our command are like the soldiers of your special combat team, even if we can take a county town, the casualties will be very large, how can we defend the city at that time. Ｅ ．” Since Ma Wanzhong became the commander of the first battalion, Huang Changsheng and Ma Wanzhong have always competed, and sometimes they competed on the training ground.

"Regiment commander, I agree with Battalion Commander Ma's opinion, the amount of troops we have now is to give us an empty city, and we may not be able to defend it." Li Weimin took over Liao Jundong's second battalion.

"It's not time to fight the county seat now, but we can't pick soft persimmons to fight, this time we have to play the prestige of the troops, so that the people around us know about us, so that we will have a better time on the battlefield behind the enemy." Liao Jundong spoke his mind.

"We don't fight the county, Lao Ma and Weimin said well, we don't have any ability to hold a county seat, from the map, Yangquan City, Pingding County, Xiyang County, Heshun County, these four counties are closest to us, and the little devils can also support each other, they are mechanized troops, much faster than our feet, plus Hebei's Shexian is an important transportation hub, and a large part of the strategic materials of the little devils pass through here, and we take any county seat, which will threaten the transportation line of Shexian County, The little devils will definitely fight back with all their might, and we will definitely be in danger of being wiped out by then. ”

"Brother Fan, do you have any good ideas, tell me quickly." Huang Changsheng asked eagerly.

"My idea is not to fight the county seat, but to fight the stronghold of the little devils." Liao Fan said his thoughts.

"Huh? It's still a stronghold, how many times have we fought, and the little devils don't dare to come out. "Huang Changsheng took the special combat team, as long as he went to the little devil's turret stronghold at night, to see what good things he got back, once or twice was fine, but after a long time, the little devil strengthened the patrol, Huang Changsheng took a few people out and let the little devil chase him for a long time, fortunately, Ma Wanzhong took the troops to meet him, otherwise he would almost not come back. Since then, the two have always bickered.

"Our attack on the stronghold of the little devils this time is not a small fight, but to pull all the troops out to fight, to eliminate the strongholds of the surrounding little devils, so that the surrounding towns and villages are connected, and at this time we will withdraw all the troops." Liao Fan said, "In this way, we not only eliminated the little devils, but also cracked down on the puppet army, and let the people know the existence of a force like ours, killing three birds with one stone." ”

"Brother Fan, what if the little devil sends troops to establish a stronghold again?" Ma Wanzhong asked.

"It's not a loss that I have been a battalion commander for so many years, and my combat experience is rich, they are hiding in the county town, we can't beat them, and as soon as they come out, their forces will definitely be dispersed, and we will pull the troops out at this time to take off the stronghold of the little devils."

"Fanzi, you are planning to trap the little devil in the county seat." Liao Jundong said, "This method is good, but if we are discovered by the little devils, they will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress us. ”

"The little devil is now deploying troops to attack Wuhan with all his might, they can't draw enough troops to encircle and suppress us, and when the battle of Wuhan is over, the little devil will encircle and suppress us, if we have the ability, we will fight with the little devil, if we don't have the ability, we will take the troops to hide in this deep mountain, anyway, we have prepared enough food and ammunition in the near future, we have no problem dragging it out for three or five months, the little devil is not worth spending three months with us in this deep mountain, as long as they want to retreat, That's the time for us to go out. ”

"Brother Fan means that in the future, we will have the final say in the countryside, and the little devils will have the final say in the city, and it is okay if they don't go out of the city, and we will beat them as soon as they get out of the city." Lao Hu said after listening to Liao Fan's explanation.

"Lao Hu is right, the little devils in the county will not have to listen to us obediently." Liao Fan said.

"Fanzi, tell me about the battle plan," Liao Jundong said, "Look at their company commanders waiting down there." ”

The company commanders below laughed awkwardly when they heard Liao Jundong say about them.

"You don't have to worry, every combat company has a combat mission this time, and we now have eighteen regular combat companies, excluding the artillery battalion. Your eighteen company commanders have been trained for so long and can lead their troops to complete their tasks independently, and each company will be equipped with an artillery squad and two mortars. Liao Fan began to talk about his plan. Each company acted in unison after stealthily approaching the target, and the battle was resolved within half an hour. Then quickly clean up the battlefield and act in unison. ”

"Brother Fan, what about our mission?" Ma Wanzhong asked several battalion commanders.

"Our task is to watch the excitement and wait for the loot to be collected." Liao Fan said.

"Then our special forces team can't be idle." Huang Changsheng asked.

"The task of the special combat team is to infiltrate several counties around here, and always pay attention to the movements of the little devils, and now the special combat team is just a few people, and I can't take them to risk the regular troops of the little devils." Liao Fan said.

"Huh? Go get information. Huang Changsheng was a little unhappy, thinking that their special combat team had more important tasks.

"Don't think that it is useless to engage in intelligence, whether the success of the army's operations depends entirely on the accuracy of the intelligence." Liao Fan looked at Huang Changsheng sternly, "If there is a slight error in your intelligence, we may be severely hit." ”

"Yes." Huang Changsheng stood upright.

"Changsheng, now you go and arrange for the special combat team to infiltrate the county seat, we will start to act as planned the night after tomorrow, everyone will rest well these days, sneak around the little devil's stronghold the night after tomorrow, and attack on time in the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

After Liao Fan arranged the task, all the officers present stood up and replied, "Yes." "Then go and inspect the troops, lay out combat missions.

"Brother Fan, do you really plan to let a few of us watch the fun?" Lao Hu stood aside and said.

"A few of you still want to charge in front like you used to be a company commander, you are now a battalion commander, a commander, you have to adapt to it in the future, don't keep thinking about fighting and charging, these things will be handed over to the company commander in the future, you will all be people led by Duru in the future, if you charge ahead, who will help me command the troops." Liao Fan looked at a few people.

"Brother Fan, then we can't watch from the headquarters." Li Weimin had just taken over the second battalion and was a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, your task is not to watch the excitement, but you also have to follow, take command, and arrange the direction of the army's attack." Liao Fan said, "As for the guard company and the reconnaissance company to stay to watch the house, we will all go up, if any company does not attack well, you will accept it, don't ink, hurry back and rest, the night after tomorrow will be tossed all night." ”

On the afternoon of the third day, Liao Fan received information collected by the special combat team that there was nothing abnormal about the little devils in the county, but they kept transporting troops to the railway station. After receiving the information, Liao Fan's troops began to covertly approach the little devil's stronghold that night, the little devil's stronghold generally has only one squad of little devils and a platoon of puppet soldiers, Liao Fan is not worried that his troops will not be able to take it down, he is afraid of the little devil's support ability.

In the early hours of the morning, Liao Fan was standing on the top of a hill when he heard the explosion of mortar shells.
