Chapter 912: Begin
"You're pretty confident!"
After this incident, Liao Fan's confidence in himself was shaken, because even a commander like Liu Chundao did not carry out the order thoroughly, and the troops below might be even worse!
Although Li Lingfei truthfully reported to him the situation of the troops below, in fact, there was not much problem, that is, the armored troops were a little hesitant in terms of training, but this did not affect the combat effectiveness of all the troops, and without the existence of armored troops, the training of the infantry was still high.
"It's not that I'm confident, it's that the foundation laid by our Taihang Mountain troops is too good, but there is just a little problem, we corrected it, and we recovered quickly!"
The troops of Taihang Mountain are like a big tree, in the past few years, they have planted their roots thousands of meters deep underground, and now the sudden growth of some branches and forks does not affect the growth of this big tree into a real pillar of talent.
"Hey~ If only I had your mentality, I hope this operation won't be a big deal!"
When this happened, Liao Fan did not have Li Lingfei's optimism, he knew very well that this problem was not only on him, but also on the troops! Moreover, what happened before such a large-scale use of troops, if there is a little problem in strategy, coupled with the problem of the military morale of the troops, it is likely that there will be the first major rout in the history of Taihang Mountain.
"Brother Fan, we still have Taihang Mountain, as long as we guard Taihang Mountain, why not fight him for a few more years in the War of Resistance against Japan?"
Li Lingfei, as the chief of staff of Taihang Mountain, although he is not above 10,000 people under one person, he has enough power in his hands to take Liao Fan to act, but Li Lingfei has never abused his power once! On the eve of the war, as Liao Fan's companion, when Liao Fan's confidence was shaken, he wanted to support Liao Fan's confidence!
A soldier can have no confidence and no courage, but their commander must have confidence and courage, whether the troops can win the battle, ninety percent in the hands of the commander, as the saying goes, one will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies, Liao Fan is not an incompetent officer, but when he loses confidence, his decision-making ability will inevitably be affected, and the three armies will also have problems because of this.
"It seems that it was right to bring you Lao Li into the command headquarters at the beginning, but I didn't put you in the troops below!"
Liao Fan knew in his heart that Li Lingfei was encouraging him, but at this time, only Liao Fan himself could solve the problem, and it was not a few words that could save his confidence, only a victory was needed.
"Hey, hey, if you hadn't hijacked the train where the little devils were escorting prisoners of war, maybe I wouldn't know where my body is now!" Li Lingfei is also fateful, survived in the Japanese prisoner of war camp, just when the little devils sent them to the northeast for human experiments, the new 33rd Army suddenly appeared and rescued them from the Japanese army.
"It's our life!"
"Brother Fan, when are we going to act?" Li Lingfei asked them about the time of their next operation, although he didn't know what kind of medicine Liao Fan was selling in the gourd, but they had been preparing for this operation for so long, and there was still no trace of action, just crazy recruitment, crazy training!
"All of our troops will be mobilized for this operation, so I want to be well prepared! The armored forces cannot not go to the battlefield because of the problem of insufficient training, although it is a little irresponsible, but if we want to make our armored troops grow up as soon as possible, we can only go to the battlefield, even if the losses are relatively large! ”
Liao Fan is out of the way this time, they can ask the Soviets for the tank when they are gone, or they can buy it from abroad, the soldiers died in battle, they can train again, but they can't let their armored forces have no experience on the battlefield, even if only one of the nearly 1,000 tanks comes back, it will come back on the battlefield, and it must not be left at home to rust and rot!
"Brother Fan, my chief of staff is really blinded, except for knowing that we will have two group army troops along the railway line into the Great Khing'an Mountains, I really don't know anything else, and I don't even know about those two troops!"
Li Lingfei also wanted to share the affairs of the army for Liao Fan, but Liao Fan told them very little about this mission, and Liao Fan planned it almost by himself, and he, the chief of staff, almost didn't know everything.
"Actually...... Compared to the Japanese army in the northeast, I am more willing to do it to Okamura Ninji! So this time, I plan to arrange for the two troops with the largest number of troops to go to the northeast, that is, the troops of Hu Guoshan and Liu Chundao! ”
This is the first time that Liao Fan has told Li Lingfei the real plan in his heart, including the troops who will enter the northeast by railway line.
"Wait...... I'm going to do it first, if I want to do something to Okamura Ninji, why do you want to transfer our two largest troops? Their two armies make up two-thirds of our troops! ”
Li Lingfei thought that he had misheard Liao Fan's arrangement, and although he had transferred two-thirds of his troops, the remaining troops could completely hold their defensive area, but it was probably a bit unrealistic to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the Pingjin area.
"I don't think we have enough troops to transfer, when the plan starts, I will also transfer some more from the troops in front to return to Taihang Mountain, including Lu Liming's armored army!" Liao Fan said.
Li Lingfei frowned, he became more and more unclear about what Liao Fan was going to do, if they wanted to use troops against the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area, they should increase the strength of the front line, and then end the battle as quickly as possible, but Liao Fan wanted to reduce the strength of the front line, was it to confuse the Japanese army?
"Brother Fan, that's not right! After the Japanese army retreated to the Pingjin area, you have always opposed the use of troops in the Pingjin area! ”
Li Lingfei became more and more confused, for the sake of a large number of ancient buildings in the Pingjin area, Liao Fan resolutely opposed the Japanese army attacking the Pingjin area, and only defended around the Pingjin area!
"I didn't say I'm going to attack them!" Liao Fan no longer said to Li Lingfei, "The affairs of the family are left to you, I am going to Lao Hu and Liu Chundao, the plan for the northward journey is to prepare them!" ”
After this expansion, the combat strength under Hu Guoshan and Li Lingfei has reached nearly 400,000 people, although the new recruits who have just arrived in the army have not yet fully adapted, but this has not affected the implementation of the plan, and Liao Fan's only concern is the armored strength in the troops.
Hu Guoshan's troops are located at the junction of the four provinces, in addition to dealing with the little devils, the troops in southern Henan also have to guard against the troops of the national army! Hu Guoshan's troops were not idle here, the front line was a place for training, although they could not capture the important cities of the Japanese army, but their troops could take turns to fight, so that the soldiers were familiar with the taste of the battlefield.
"Your old Hu's life is getting more and more comfortable, and this sofa has been replaced with leather!"
In the rear Hu Guoshan's command headquarters, it is really getting more and more magnificent, these things are all seized from the little devil, since there is, of course Hu Guoshan does not waste a day to enjoy a day.
"Brother Fan, I can't help it, in addition to dealing with the little devils here, I also have to fight with those officials in the Central Army, so naturally we have to clean up our people well, and we can't let people say that we are dirt buns!"
"Alright, your good days are coming to an end!" Liao Fan sat on the leather sofa unceremoniously, "Hmm...... The leather feels different and comfortable! ”
Liao Fan looked at these leather sofas: "Anyway, you also brought the Northeast District, and when you leave, I will find someone to send them all to our headquarters!" ”
"Huh? Brother Fan, are we going to the Northeast? Hu Guoshan asked.
"What's the matter? Not happy or not going to carry out the order? ”
"It's not! It was so sudden, I didn't expect it so soon! Hu Guoshan heard that they were going to march into the northeast, but he didn't expect that their group army was selected in the end.
"Suddenly? Your group army and Liu Chundao's group army will take a train from Taiyuan to the Daxing'an Mountains together, and the first step in the plan is to establish a defensive line on the east side of the Daxing'an Mountains, with the Daxing'an Mountains as a support point, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended! "This is the first time Liao Fan has said his specific arrangements.
"Isn't it a bit too much to suddenly transfer 400,000 people, do you want to change to other troops, I think 300,000 is enough!" Hu Guoshan was worried about Taihang Mountain's comfort.
"You don't have to worry about things here, I'm still too little for 400,000 troops, if it's possible, I can't wait to arrange all four group armies to go to Daxinganling!"
"Okay, when are we leaving?" Hu Guoshan asked.
"The time of departure is to be determined, but there is one thing you have to do well, you must make a big show when you evacuate from the defense area, the bigger the movement, the better, and it is best to let the whole country know that you are withdrawing!"
"This ......" Hu Guoshan didn't understand, didn't they want to march to the northeast? If there is such fanfare, isn't it telling the little devils that they are going to do something to the Japanese army in the northeast?
"The Japanese army in the northeast knows, aren't you sure to withstand the pressure of the Japanese army?"
What if the Japanese knew they were going to attack the Northeast? Most of the Japanese forces were pinned down by the Soviets in the north, and the Japanese troops they faced could not be the Japanese troops in the entire northeast, and the maximum number of troops was about one million Japanese troops!
"Not all of Liu Chundao's troops are traveling with you, and when the time comes, Liu Chundao's troops may have about 30,000 to 60,000 people who will directly enter the territory of the Soviet Union by train, and then attack the Japanese army directly from the north, so you must know your strength!"
The two railways went directly into the territory of the Soviet Union, so that their troops could go directly to the Far East and then from the Soviet Union back to the northernmost part of China! After the matter here is over, the 50,000 veterans led by Tian Ziqi can also make a train into the Soviet Union, so that there will be about 100,000 troops in Taihang Mountain in the Soviet Union, and the Soviets will provide them with logistics to attack the Japanese army.
