Zhang Cuihua's sacrifice is a very sad thing for those who are familiar with her, but for the entire army, this is just a small episode, and it is even more insignificant for the Chinese nation in dire straits, because there have been countless heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the motherland, and there will be countless heroes who will continue to throw their heads and spill blood for her in the future, Zhang Cuihua is just one of them. E Ω small "say".┡

The loud slogan of "one, two, three, four......" sounded again in the station, and Liao Fan often got up half an hour earlier than the soldiers, and every time he heard the soldiers shouting slogans, Liao Fan inexplicably rose a high fighting spirit in his heart.

The rest of the people in the headquarters are surrounding the furnace and the mountains, and now that the framework of the troops has been rebuilt, the recruits are stepping up their training, and there is nothing to do with them at all.

"Brother Fan, the Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, what should we send to the Eighth Route Army, now we are in short supply of materials in all aspects." Sun Boyong has been counting the inventory in his hands for the past few days, calculating and calculating, except for a little more guns, other materials are in short supply.

"You can make up your mind about this matter, you know better than me about the logistics and materials, you can do it." Liao Fan was lying on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, "After it's settled, give the things to Huang Changsheng and let Changsheng go to Division Commander Chen of the Eighth Route Army for me." ”

"Brother Fan, it's a little inappropriate for me to go on your behalf, after all, Senior Commander Chen, they are older than me in terms of military rank." Huang Changsheng was worried that his military rank was not equal to that of Division Commander Chen, and he was afraid that he would not be welcomed.

"There's nothing wrong with this, we went over to visit the New Year as friends, and we didn't go to see my boss, I'm afraid the reason why I didn't go was because our boss was coming to Taihang Mountain to see his troops." Liao Fan knew that they had all been reorganized into the Independent 33rd Division for so long, and the news should have reached the headquarters of the Seventh Army.

"Boss? Brother Fan, where did we get our boss? A few people didn't understand what Liao Fan meant.

"Don't forget that we are now part of the Seventh Army, we don't care if we have superiors or not, but our troops are fragrant in their eyes." Now everyone in their army is thinking about them, even Gangcun Ningci is also thinking about their troops.

"Brother Fan, you don't mean that the group army headquarters is going to come to someone, we have never dealt with them, and they came to pay us New Year's greetings?" Huang Changsheng couldn't figure it out, the headquarters of the Seventh Army was thousands of miles away from Taihang Mountain, and those officials above must have eaten enough, otherwise how could they come over to find them for the New Year.

Liao Fan said: "I also guess, it's not certain whether I will come or not, don't I prepare in advance, in case we come, we will not be very passive by them, you must know that those people at the headquarters of the Seventh Army are not fuel-efficient lamps." "Liao Fan is very worried about dealing with these bigwigs, they all lead soldiers to climb up step by step, and he has seen more dead people than Liao Fan has seen living people, and if he is not careful, Liao Fan will fall into the trap of these bigwigs.

In the new year, lights are everywhere, and even poor families have to clean their homes inside and out, sweeping away last year's bad luck. In addition to the soldiers standing guard and patrolling in Liao Fan's station, Liao Fan gave them all two days off, and those who were close to home could go home to have a look, and as for those far away, Liao Fan asked each regiment to hold their own party. But Liao Fan's headquarters became much quieter, there was no New Year's atmosphere, only Chunjian accompanied him to dinner at the headquarters, and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Huang Changsheng left the garrison with the weapons and equipment that Sun Boyong had prepared for him in advance, and he was accompanied by soldiers from a company of the guard battalion.

"Third Company Commander, do you feel that something is wrong?" The closer Huang Changsheng got to the garrison of the Eighth Route Army, the more unsteady he became.

"It's so quiet." The commander of the third company looked around vigilantly.

"Let the brethren be careful."

Huang Changsheng and the others were close enough to the garrison of Division Commander Chen of the Eighth Route Army, and during this period, there should be sentries appearing on them and coming forward to check them. But so far, Huang Changsheng and the others have not met anyone. Huang Changsheng had already prepared the fighters for battle.

When Huang Changsheng entered the garrison with the soldiers, the garrison of the Eighth Route Army's Chen Division Commander was already empty, and there was no trace of it.

"Third company commander, let the first platoon be on guard, and the second platoon and the third platoon search the station to see if there is anyone!" Huang Changsheng felt too weird, and Master Chen's station was terrifying.

Half an hour later, the second platoon commander and the third platoon commander reported: "Captain, the station is empty. ”

"The rest of the people are on guard, and the three platoon commanders will come with me." Huang Changsheng couldn't believe that thousands of people had disappeared like this.

Huang Changsheng led a platoon of soldiers straight to Division Commander Chen's headquarters, and he believed that he would definitely find useful clues: "In a team of two, search all the surrounding houses for me, remember to search carefully, and no clues can be missed." Huang Changsheng didn't know the specific location of Division Commander Chen's headquarters, so he could only let the soldiers carry out a carpet search.

"Captain, there's a letter here." A soldier showed up in the command headquarters of Division Commander Chen.

Huang Changsheng took the letter, looked at the envelope and said, "Everyone bring their equipment and return immediately." Huang Changsheng realized that this matter was of great significance and needed to report it to Liao Fan immediately, this was not only a matter of the Eighth Route Army, but also related to the armed forces of the entire Taihang Mountain.

Before dark, Huang Changsheng rushed back to the garrison with his troops and handed the letter to Liao Fan.

"Brother Fan, what the hell is going on, now there is not even a single bullet casing in the garrison of the Eighth Route Army, will they have been captured by the little devils." Huang Changsheng couldn't figure out what happened to make the Eighth Route Army disappear collectively.

After Liao Fan read the letter, he frowned: "It was Division Commander Chen who left Taihang Mountain with his troops, and Division Commander Chen said that they had received an order from their superiors that they had to make a strategic transfer and had to leave Taihang Mountain." ”

"Brother Fan, what kind of strategic transfer is it, he left Taihang Mountain without saying hello." Huang Changsheng thought that Liao Fan's relationship with Political Commissar Liu of the Eighth Route Army was good enough, and he would not leave Taihang Mountain without a sound.

"Division Commander Chen didn't mention any news in the letter, the specific things can only be known when you see them, you will meet the special combat team first, and I will handle the rest of the things." Liao Fan folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and threw it into the stove.

Liao Fan had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart that it was he who forced the Eighth Route Army to lose a foothold in Taihang Mountain. Now they are famous in the Taihang Mountain, and the common people in the Taihang Mountain area only recognize the independent 33rd Division, and they all say that the independent 33rd Division is better than the Eighth Route Army in terms of food and use, and even the military salary is more than that of ordinary troops. Just after a major battle, the Eighth Route Army was greatly damaged, and it was unable to recruit soldiers at all, and the troops that had been losing their sources of troops were a fatal blow to this army.

Liao Fan didn't expect to encounter such a big thing just after the New Year, the place where the Eighth Route Army Commander Chen was stationed was the northern section of Taihang Mountain, as soon as the Eighth Route Army withdrew, there was no army stationed in the original place, and now Liao Fan had to adjust his deployment. However, he only has three regiments and a guard battalion in his hands, how to defend the defense area that was originally defended by thousands of people, this is Liao Fan's most rare choice at present, and now one of his regiments is less than a thousand people, and he can't take care of such a large area of defense area.

"Chunjian, go and call your brother and Li Weimin over." Liao Fan thinks about it, and he must take action.

After a while, Liu Chundao and Li Weimin came to the headquarters: "Brother Fan, what is the matter with us?" ”

"You two look at the map on the table first, if you two are asked to defend the area I marked on the map, how will you two defend it." Liao Fan said to the two people.

Li Weimin and Liu Chundao walked to the table, looked at the map, and immediately recognized the marked area on the map: "Brother Fan, isn't this the defense area of the Eighth Route Army's Chen Division?" ”

"Yes, I'll give you a regiment of troops right now, and see how you two can defend it." Liao Fan planned to send two people over to take over Division Commander Chen's original defense area.

"Brother Fan, I think we should put the main force south of Wutai Mountain, the little devil has deployed heavy troops in Wutai Mountain, if our troops are stationed north of Wutai Mountain, it will be easy for the little devil to divide our troops into two halves, so that we can't take care of each other." Li Weimin looked at the map and said.

"That's right! If the troops are placed north of Wutai Mountain, it seems that our defense area is very large, but we simply do not have enough troops to defend in a short period of time, and the east is Beiping, once there is a little wind and grass, the little devils will inevitably send a large army to encircle and suppress, coupled with the threat from Wutai Mountain, our defense area will be divided into countless small pieces, and the troops cannot be gathered, so sooner or later they will be eaten by the little devils. Liu Chundao said.

"If Li Weimin you have 3,000 people, Liu Chundao you have 2,000 troops, and the two of you defend this area together, what should you two do? Suppose you are attacked from both east and west at the same time. Liao Fan said.

"Of course, I immediately asked Brother Fan for help." Liu Chundao said without thinking.

Li Weimin almost didn't laugh when he heard this, Liao Fan said with a dark face on the side: "Suppose you don't have any support. ”

"Brother Fan, don't you want us anymore, the little devils are going to beat us to death, and you still don't want to save us?"

Liu Chundao was originally just a soldier, and he was promoted by Liao Fan in a hurry to become the commander of the guard company, and it was with the help of Liao Fan that he gradually had the ability to lead the troops, and now he was suddenly asked to lead a troop of 2,000 people, and he also had to arrange troops in an unfamiliar area, and anyone would be at a loss for what to do.

"Assuming my reinforcements have not yet been dispatched, the enemy is already closing in on your outlying positions. Li Weimin, you say, Liu Chundao, listen well! Liao Fan was completely speechless.
