Ma Wanzhong didn't leave until he was sure that Liao Fan didn't have any orders or important things tonight, because he really couldn't rest assured, what if Liao Fan really had something important.

But this time Ma Wanzhong really thought too much, Liao Fan originally planned to spend the night in Jiazhuang Town, and then return to the headquarters, but he had no intention of coming to the Jingcheng mining area in his plan.

It was only because Shen Zhengwen refused to return to the military department as a staff officer that Liao Fan's self-esteem suffered a small blow, so he was unwilling to spend the night at Shen Zhengwen in Jiazhuang Town, so he came to Jing Cheng in one more move.

If Ma Wanzhong knew that it was for this reason that Liao Fan came to his headquarters to spend the night, he would definitely cry and laugh.

"After the troops of Beitaifeng are deployed, your division must be careful of little devils doing things in the Jingcheng area!"

Early the next morning, Liao Fan briefly told Ma Wanzhong some things and was ready to leave.

"Brother Fan, you have breakfast and then leave!"

"Don't eat it, go back and eat again!"

Liao Fan and the others mounted their horses and began to return to the headquarters.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the sun is beginning to feel warm on people, Liao Fan is sitting at the door of the headquarters basking in the sun, enjoying the silence of the afternoon.

Today is the spring equinox, the beginning of February of the lunar calendar, and it is a good time for the weather to get warmer.

Liao Fan held in his hand a telegram sent from Beitaifeng, and the content of the telegram was that the troops were all ready and ready to act at any time.

However, Liao Fan did not give the order to act, but leaned on the door frame and quietly thought about the loopholes in Li Weimin's battle plan, the 30,000 army plus most of the artillery brigade and the special operations brigade, this is not a small force for the new 33rd Army, once there is a command error, then the consequences are unimaginable!

The more Liao Fan carefully considered Li Weimin's plan, the more he felt the pressure on his body, although Li Weimin was the commander-in-chief of the front line, but all this responsibility had to be borne by Liao Fan, because Li Weimin was his subordinate!

"Hey~"

Liao Fan opened his eyes and sighed, then folded the telegram and stuffed it into his pocket. Liao Fan got up and decided to walk around, what is too comfortable in the sun, it is easy to get sleepy, now is not the time to sleep.

Because Taihang Mountain is blocked by mountains, the increasingly weak winter can no longer use the cold wind to blow through the high mountains, and the weeds in some valleys have begun to glow slightly green, and the grass blades have become more resilient.

Liao Fan looked at the grass on the ground, a little dazed, because he found a young shoot in the thick grass, although it was still fragile, but it was green. Liao Fan carefully covered the shoots with withered grass leaves, in case the cold at night froze him!

"You always have to take the first step, as long as you take the first step, there will be a second step!"

Liao Fan was talking to himself, as if he was persuading himself, and as if he was making a lot of determination.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, even the best plans will have loopholes, there is no perfect plan, as long as they can seize the fighter, this battle is sure to win.

But before deciding to act, Liao Fan still has one more thing to deal with, that is, about Longqiu and several children going abroad.

These children are now learning English with Liu Deyun, and Liao Fan's first decision is to send them to the magnesium country, but the magnesium country is only their first stop, and where they want to go in the second stop is completely voluntary.

Today, the sun is shining, it is a hurry to set off, although Liao Fan gave them enough time to learn English, but several children still can't speak English well.

"When I go abroad and get to that environment, I naturally say yes!"

Liao Fan is not worried about their communication skills, and the best way to learn a language is to speak, to speak to a real English speaker.

Fu Hongyu looked at the children, feeling a little uncomfortable, although she is the sister of several children, but there is no difference from her mother, for a few children to leave, her eyes are full of reluctance.

"Remember to take good care of yourself when you go abroad, remember to send a telegram back if you have anything, and don't be reluctant to spend money if you lack anything......"

Fu Hongyu packed the children's luggage, her eyes kept looking at what else could be taken away in the room, and she kept nagging, for fear that the children would lose it when they went abroad.

"Longqiu, come with me! I have something to tell you! ”

Liao Fan called Longqiu to his side, and then took out two letters and handed them to Longqiu for him to put away.

"This envelope contains the expenses you need to go abroad, remember to collect it on the way, if you are short of money, send me a telegram or write a letter back, I will definitely find a way to ask someone to send it to you!"

"As for the second letter, there is an address in it, and when you arrive in the magnesium country, you can find the person in the envelope according to this address, tell him that the country needs him, and hope that he can return to China as soon as possible!"

Although Longqiu didn't know who the person mentioned in the envelope was, he still put the letter away, and no matter how long he stayed in the magnesium country, he must go to the address in the letter to meet the person.

The time for departure was soon up, and each child received some money from Liao Fan's hands, and the money for their study abroad was in Liao Fan's first letter to Longqiu.

"You must escort them safely to the ship, and when they get on the boat, you must return in time!"

Liao Fan told several soldiers of the special operations brigade that this time they would go a relatively long distance, and they would first go to Chongqing, and then to Guangdong, from Guangdong to Hong Kong, and from Hong Kong to magnesium country by boat!

This is the safest route at present, after all, the Japanese have not yet started a war, and the Japanese will still not attack the passenger ships of the magnesium country.

Fu Hongyu reluctantly sent the children to the mountain pass before she stood up, and Liao Fan took Fu Hongyu, whose eyes were already red, into his arms.

Fu Hongyu choked up a little, these children are still so young, they have been orphans since they were children, and now they are going abroad, how can they make Fu Hongyu not feel distressed.

"Do you have to let them go?" Fu Hongyu is still different, these half-old children leave his side, can these children be fed and clothed on the other side of the world.

"They're already strong, and if it were me, I might have cried while I was packing up!"

Liao Fan has to admit that these children who have become orphans since childhood and are used to living a hard life are strong in their hearts, if Liao Fan is at this age and hears that he is going to go abroad without anyone's company, he will definitely hold the table and not let go.

"They are no longer children after this step, maybe they are starting to take some responsibility on their shoulders!"

Liao Fan thought in his heart, did he let these children take on something too early, after all, there are some responsibilities that even Liao Fan and them can't bear, but these children have to carry a piece of China's future.

Fu Hongyu choked for a while, and began to walk back accompanied by Liao Fan, neither of them spoke on the way, Fu Hongyu was still worried about those children.

And Liao Fan was thinking about when to set off, after all, the weather was already warm, if they didn't move, the little devil would definitely move, after all, it was a hostile side, and it was destined to have a tragic fight!

Liao Fan said goodbye to Fu Hongyu, and then went to Beitai Peak, two days ago, Liao Jundong with the artillery brigade, Huang Changsheng with the special operations brigade has arrived at Beitai Peak.

It's Liao Fan, they know that when Liao Fan arrives, they will start attacking.

Beitaifeng Li is the station of the Minbu, and the fighters have canceled the original training plan, began to distribute ammunition, prepare dry rations, and then prepare for departure.

Liao Fan and the others rushed to Beitai Peak, and the atmosphere in the air immediately became tense, because the big war was coming, and anyone could smell the smell of gunpowder in the air.

As the military commander, Liao Fan, of course, must understand the preparations of various troops, although the forms on the battlefield are changeable, but they must be fully prepared to ensure that after going to the battlefield, there will be no afterthought, hindsight.

"Li Weimin, how many bazookas has your ministry received from the military factory?"

Liao Fan's first concern is the problem of bazookas, once out of the Great Wall, the terrain begins to become flat, and the probability of encountering little devil tanks is getting bigger and bigger, in addition to the artillery brigade, bazooka is their important anti-tank weapon.

"Report, Brother Fan already has about 1,100 rocket launchers, and there is plenty of ammunition!"

Although Du Weize had already led the workers to work overtime to produce, he still did not produce the quantity requested by Liao Fan.

"The power generation report told Li Lingfei that the production of bazookas during the battle cannot be stopped, and I will send as much as I produce to the front line!"

There will be combat attrition on the battlefield at any time, and a thousand rocket launchers are obviously not enough, they need more bazookas, not just to fight the tanks of the little devils, but also to hit the pillboxes and turrets of the little devils.

"Yes!"

"How's the guide looking?"

"Each battalion has at least two guides, and we also have guides for the special operations brigade and the artillery brigade, all of whom are local people who are familiar with the situation!"

During the Chinese New Year, Cun Qi raised the question of guides, and Li Weimin did not slack off in the slightest, and hired locals to be their guides at a high price, but many ordinary people heard that they were going to fight devils, and they volunteered to be Li Weimin's guides.

"How many people are left behind in Beitai Peak? What are the weapons attached to? ”

After the troops left Beitai Peak, Beitai Peak really became an empty city, Liao Fan did not have Zhuge Liang's ability, although the little devil did not have Sima Yi's ability, but the empty city plan must not be sung well.

Therefore, it is necessary to garrison Beitai Peak with an essence of troops to prevent the little devils from cutting off their back roads, otherwise the plan to go north to Taihang will be in vain as soon as it is implemented.

"A reinforced battalion of six hundred people, equipped with an artillery platoon, mainly flying thunder guns and two mountain guns!" Li Weimin went to answer truthfully.

"Brother, transfer the rest of the artillery to Beitai Peak, and then drop a company of people from the guard regiment!"

In this way, the total number of troops guarding Beitai Peak is nearly a thousand people, so that Liao Fan can rest assured.

Liao Fan asked a lot more about the troops, and after everything was arranged, Liao Fan looked at everyone in the command headquarters and gave the final order.

"Let's go!"
