"Brother Fan, are we really going to march into the Northeast?"

Ma Wanzhong saw the hope of recovering his hometown, no one likes his hometown to fall into the control of the Japanese army, even if he has left his hometown for many years and has not returned, but that place is still his hometown, she has been with you since the moment you were born.

"If there are conditions, our troops will inevitably send troops to the northeast, but it is still too early for the new 33rd Army, and the purpose of discussing this matter with you is to arrange people to go to the northeast!"

Liao Fan understands Ma Wanzhong's feelings, after all, his hometown has become an enemy-occupied area, and he can't go back if he wants to go back, this feeling is really indescribable.

Ma Wanzhong suppressed his excitement, after coming out of the Northeast for so many years, he was finally able to see the hope of going back, even if this hope was far away from him, but there was finally hope.

"Brother Fan, I know! There are only 30 or so brothers left who came out with me! They can all go on this mission! ”

"Is it reliable? This is to engage in intelligence behind enemy lines, and we will encounter all kinds of difficulties, and if we are not firm in our will, everything we have done will be wasted! ”

Intelligence workers must endure hardships that ordinary people cannot endure, and they must also have extremely high reflexes, otherwise when facing the enemy, they will not wait for the enemy to interrogate themselves, because they will not be able to withstand the test, let the enemy seize the handle, and it is very likely that the entire intelligence organization will be leaked.

Ma Wanzhong nodded vigorously: "I have a company commander under my hand, who is the brother who came out with us at the beginning, there is no problem!" ”

"Okay, since you don't think there's any problem, I will trust him, but I still need to select a few people from Changsheng's side to follow, these warriors have rich combat experience and can help!"

In fact, the soldiers who followed them were the soldiers selected by Yan Xuelin, in addition to the usual tasks, of course, these soldiers also had other meanings, that is, to prevent mutineers, as long as someone rebelled, they had the right to be arbitrary.

Liao Fan didn't disbelieve in his soldiers and officers, with such a huge army in extraordinary times, he couldn't understand every soldier in detail, he must have extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and he must minimize his losses, so that he can eliminate and grow stronger in this tiresome war.

Of course, Ma Wanzhong very much agreed with Liao Fan's approach, after all, intelligence work is not done with the enemy's famous swords and guns on the battlefield, an intelligence group must be divided into several groups, and special things must be done by special people, not everyone is proficient in engaging in intelligence behind enemy lines, and only when everyone cooperates with each other can they obtain the most valuable information.

"You go talk to him about this matter, and then ask him to report to Yan Xuelin! Yan Xuelin is responsible for the rest! ”

Liao Fan already planned to hand over the intelligence and counter-espionage matters to Yan Xuelin, since he had put all his rights down, he naturally wouldn't care about how Yan Xuelin did this, and in the end, Yan Xuelin just needed to provide him with the information he wanted.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Yan Xuelin's office was on the edge of the headquarters, and as soon as Ma Wanzhong was about to leave to arrange the task, Yan Xuelin came to the headquarters to find Liao Fan.

"Brother Fan, there is movement over there in the prefix of the country!"

"Oh? Who? It can't be Yan Laoxi, right? ”

"Yes, but what else can be done!" Yan Xuelin handed over the information in his hand to Liao Fan.

Since Liao Fan returned, He Yingqin's headquarters moved back from Luoyang to Zhongtiao Mountain, which completely became He Yingqin's central military defense area.

"He Yingqin?" Liao Fan frowned, he was not worried about He Yingqin, but worried about He Yingqin.

Liao Fan has already let Zhongtiao Mountain out, does this guy really want to make an inch and fight with the New 33rd Army. If this is really the case, Liao Fan really wants He Yingqin to be honest.

"It was Yan Laoxi who promised He Yingqin the benefits and asked him to contain Commander Liu's troops, so that he could get benefits in Taiyuan!" Yan Xuelin said.

"Oh? What are the benefits that make He Yingqin dare to attack us at this time? ”

He Yingqin has just received benefits from the New 33rd Army, if He Yingqin wants to attack Liu Chundao's troops at this time, and he will bear a reputation of ingratitude, He Yingqin would not dare to take such a big risk to do such a thing even if he is stupid, at least Liao Fan can't imagine what kind of benefits can make him tempted.

"It's related to the matter over there!" Yan Xuelin said with great certainty.

"I see! It seems that some kind of benefit has been agreed between the two sides! ”

"Brother Fan, what should we do?"

Although Cun Qi was originally the division commander of the Dian Army, he used to serve in Zhongtiao Mountain, and he Yingqin was the commander-in-chief, and at this time he didn't want to watch his own people kill each other on his own land.

"What do you think you should do?" Liao Fan looked at Cun Qi with a smile.

"This ......"

Cun Qi was embarrassed for a while, although he had been in the New Thirty-third Army for so long, to be honest, he still had feelings for the old army, although there were not many Dian troops under He Yingqin's jurisdiction, but for Cun Qi, He Yingqin was his old commander after all. But Cun Qi thought about it, he is now the general of the New 33rd Army, and it was the New 33rd Army that gave him the opportunity to be reborn, if he faced the Central Army at a critical time, what would Liao Fan think of him? Could it be that he is a man who eats inside and outside?

Liao Fan did not want to investigate the meaning of embarrassment for Cunqi, for every patriotic general, Liao Fan has a sense of respect, the reason why he asked Cunqi, is simply to ask Cunqi's views on military affairs, but he did not expect Cunqi to consider other aspects.

"Village staff officer, don't be embarrassed, in fact, the new 33rd Army is enough to endure! He Yingqin took back the important land of Zhongtiao Mountain without abandoning a single soldier, even if I Liao Fan was generous, I would not give away all my land! ”

In fact, in the telegram, Liao Fan had already communicated with Liao Jundong that for the interests of the New 33rd Army, unless they were happy and willing to send it out, unless they asked for their names, don't want to take any advantage from him.

"Brother Fan, that's not what I meant...... Actually......"

"I understand your thoughts, it's good to have feelings for the old troops and the old commanders, and I believe that you will have such feelings for the new 33rd Army in the future!"

Patriotism does not allow any doubts and flaws, this is Liao Fan's treatment of Cun Qi too much, when he was in Zhongtiao Mountain, he led the troops to the palace, fought with the Japanese army, and he almost died in Zhongtiao Mountain, he is already a person who has proven himself on the battlefield, there is no need to prove anything in other languages, unless he becomes a traitor in the future, Liao Fan will not have any exclusion from him.

However, Liao Fan will not be merciful to those who dare to offend the new 33rd Army, if the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army really join forces to engage the New 33rd Army, Liao Fan will inevitably fight back and make an example of the monkeys. If the New 33rd Army is honest this time and retreats again and again, I am afraid that in the future, they will treat the New 33rd Army as a soft persimmon, and pinch the New 33rd Army if there is nothing to do.

"Do you want to send troops to support Division Commander Liu?" Yan Xuelin asked.

"No need, if Liu Chundao can't cope with it, he won't have to be the division commander in the future! There are so many soldiers in his hands, he can't even pack up a Jin Sui army, go home as soon as possible and pick up the child, the new thirty-three don't raise such waste! ”

In fact, it is not only Liu Chundao that makes Liao Fan confident, the artillery brigade has also developed rapidly after recovering Shanxi, there are already hundreds of heavy artillery alone, plus various other types of artillery, it is already a powerful artillery group, and these artillery pieces are used together, not to mention Yan Laoxi, even the little devil also asked grandpa to sue grandma when he met it.

The artillery brigade was dispersed during the attack on Datong, this was the first time it was assembled, Liao Fan originally wanted to use artillery to deal with the armored troops of the little devils on the plain, but now that someone has made a bird, Liao Fan doesn't mind testing the power of their artillery.

Although they were very confused about Liao Fan's decision, they believed in Liao Fan, after all, since the debut of the New 33rd Army, it has relied on winning more with less, and in the face of an enemy ten times his size, Liao Fan was still able to command calmly and talk and laugh.

Although Liu Chundao has commanded fewer battles than several division commanders of the other New 33rd Army, no one can forget the bravery of Liu Chundao in commanding the battle, and the battle of Beitaifeng has left a deep impression on them.

Of course, Yan Laoxi doesn't think that he has encountered a hard stubble, although in his headquarters, Liu Chundao is aggressive towards him, but he only thinks that Liu Chundao is just a division commander, and he is also here to take advantage of his tongue, and he has to rely on more soldiers and generals to fight, but he has mobilized two armies and one division to deploy around Taiyuan, and it is still very easy to eat Liu Chundao.

However, what worries Yan Laoxi the most is Liao Fan, he has learned the news that Liao Fan is okay from He Yingqin, which makes him more afraid of the New 33rd Army, if the New 33rd Army really wants to fight with them, I am afraid that the Jin Sui Army will not be able to take advantage, especially when he heard that the Seventh Army is relatively close to the New 33rd Army, and a division commander of the New 33rd Army is even discussing with Fu Yisheng to fight together to recapture the Suiyuan area (including Chahar) from the Japanese army.

Yan Lao Xigui is the commander-in-chief of the theater, and the elite troops he can mobilize are only three armies, and the third-rate troops in the Jin Sui Army account for more than half, and this is not a group fight, and the elite troops like the New 33rd Army must rely on the elite strength, and those third-rate troops of the Jin Sui Army are not even qualified to participate in the war.

As a last resort, he could not provoke the anger of the New 33rd Army, this was the conclusion that Yan Laoxi had reached, which was why he only expanded the defense area by a few streets in Taiyuan City, instead of taking the opportunity to control the entire Taiyuan in his hands.
