Chapter 389: Agree on the general direction of the troops
After hearing Liao Fan's words, the atmosphere in the command headquarters became depressed, they already knew the details of the little devils recently, but they didn't think too much, they just took a step at a time, anyway, they had a lot of fun fighting the little devils recently, and several regiment commanders thought that the big army of the little devils was still far away from them, and they still had enough time to do all this. Bayi?? Chinese???.? 8?1(8)Z?(a).? C(viii)O(viii)M?
The four regiment commanders lowered their heads in shame, they knew what they had done wrong, and they knew that Liao Fan had to bear everything again.
Liao Fan saw that the mood of the four people was a little low, and a smile appeared on his face: "Don't be discouraged, the little devil hasn't come yet, we still have time to prepare, who loses and who wins is not certain!" ”
"In the past two days, according to the intelligence from the Fifth War Zone and the information we got in Shanxi, Gangcun Ningci has gathered 300,000 troops, of which 100,000 people are coming to us, and Shanxi will also have 30,000 troops to participate in this battle, and the little devils have begun to attack the Fifth War Zone, so it is only a matter of time before the little devils attack Taihang Mountain."
"Fanzi, how do you want to fight this battle?" Liao Jundong looked at Liao Fan with confidence, Liao Fan was his younger brother, and he believed in Liao Fan.
"It's still a defensive war, I don't want to destroy the infrastructure we just built by the little devils again, the main purpose of the little devils is still in the fifth theater, so we are mainly facing the Japanese infantry, and the main target of the Japanese planes is Li Zongren." Liao Fan said.
"Brother Fan, is it still the same as last time?" Liu Chundao asked, he still remembered the last battle. Although Liu Chundao did not participate in the frontal defense of the last battle, he was almost killed when he resisted the attack of the little devil at the pass of Dahong Mountain.
"Yes, for the defense of the division headquarters, it is similar to the last battle plan, but we can't put all the troops around the division headquarters, otherwise we will play a dead game of chess, we have to arrange a living man, if necessary, give the little devil a fatal blow, and then play this game of chess alive!" Liao Fan nodded at everyone.
"I discussed with Brother Fan that I plan to deploy two regiments around the division headquarters, about 10,000 troops!" Li Lingfei added, "As for which two regiments are placed near the headquarters and which two regiments are used as living sons, we have to listen to the opinions of your four regiment commanders." ”
Hearing Li Lingfei's words, the four regiment commanders began to discuss specific plans with each other.
"Ahem!" Liao Fan coughed twice, interrupting the four regiment commanders to bite their ears, "I originally planned to transfer the second regiment over, but the mountain pass in the north of Beitai Peak is also very important, only the second regiment is the most familiar with that side, so the second regiment can't move, the most important thing is that the second regiment also has the strength of a cavalry battalion, the cavalry battalion is mobile and flexible, if there is a long-distance mission to hand over to the cavalry, it is most suitable, so I also want to put the second regiment in Beitai Peak." ”
"Brother Fan, let's transfer our fourth regiment over, we are stationed in Flying Fox Ridge and we can't do decisive things at all except for being able to provide some support to the second regiment, so it is most appropriate to transfer our fourth regiment back." Liu Chundao said.
"Okay, the fourth regiment is transferred back, the fourth regiment leaves a company of troops to garrison in Feihuling, in case the second regiment does not go well in the battle at Beitai Peak, it can be withdrawn to Feihuling, and the materials around Feihuling are enough for the second regiment to hold on for a month!" Liao Fan felt that the four regiments could also be decided, but the first regiment and the second regiment were the most difficult to choose.
At this time, the eyes of the people in the command fell on Ma Wanzhong, the head of the first regiment, and Hu Guoshan, the head of the third regiment, and the two of them also looked at each other, not knowing what choice to make next.
"All that remains is the first and third regiments, as well as the artillery battalion!" Li Lingfei glanced at a few people and said.
"Of course, the artillery battalion must stay around the division headquarters to support, and it must not be placed on the periphery to fight, firstly, although the artillery battalion has thousands of people, but the equipment is too heavy, it is not suitable for mobile operations on the periphery, and secondly, the soldiers of the artillery battalion should not be used together, which is really a waste of resources!" Li Weimin said.
"The artillery battalion will serve as a reserve for the last defense!" Liao Jundong smiled bitterly, if the defense line is broken, who cares if you are an artillery or not, as long as you can pick up a gun, you will go up and fight hard, but Liao Jundong also doesn't want the soldiers of the artillery battalion to be used as infantry, let's not talk about emotional issues, if the artillery battalion is really used as infantry, it proves that it has reached the last moment, and the independent 33rd Division will really be in danger.
Liao Fan nodded at a few people and agreed that the artillery battalion stayed.
At this time, there was only a decision on the going or staying of the first regiment and the third regiment in the command headquarters, Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan did not quarrel over the task as usual, they knew that this operation was related to the life and death of the entire independent 33rd Division, once they made a wrong decision, it would really wipe out the entire army of the 33rd Independent Division, as the work of the 33rd Independent Division, it was all the hope of more than 20,000 people, and the burden on their bodies would definitely not be light.
"Old Ma, tell me what you think first!" Liao Fan directly began to roll call names, asking them to talk about what they thought in their hearts, since the general direction is to fight positional warfare, they can only come around this general direction.
"Brother Fan, as the working son of the whole division, what is our main task?" Ma Wanzhong asked.
Liao Fan glanced at Li Lingfei and motioned for Li Lingfei to talk about this problem.
"The little devil's army has 100,000 people, plus a total of 130,000 people in Shanxi, 130,000 people are a troublesome thing even if they urinate or urinate, not to mention being responsible for food, weapons and ammunition, so the logistics of the little devil will inevitably have a lot of pressure, so I discussed with Brother Fan that we will contain the main force of the little devil head-on, and then the logistics of the little devil will be completely destroyed by the strength of a regiment, and the little devil will inevitably retreat without logistics supplies!" Li Lingfei explained.
"What if the little devil doesn't retreat?" Hu Guoshan asked.
As Hu Guoshan's question came out, the headquarters fell into silence, right! What if the little devil doesn't retreat and still attacks.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Liao Fan again, no one had thought about this problem, what if the little devil didn't retreat, the Japanese army's logistics were indeed very fragile, but without the order to retreat, the Japanese army would not retreat easily.
Liao Fan looked at everyone's eyes and just smiled lightly: "Except for Taihang Mountain, we have no other place to go, and the people of Taihang Mountain have no other place to go, so we must win this battle!" ”
Oh, yes! The 33rd Independent Division had no way out, the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army still had Shaanxi and Gansu, the Central Army still had Sichuan and Yunnan, and the 33rd Independent Division only had Taihang Mountain.
"If I had to choose a place to die, this would be the last place I would lie down!" Liao Fan's eyes were full of determination, and he would die in Taihang Mountain.
"Brother Fan, let's stay together!" Ma Wanzhong said, "My old horse can meet Brother Fan in Taihang Mountain, which is also the luckiest thing in my life, the Northeast is lost, since I can't go back, I will be buried in Taihang Mountain with my brothers." ”
"Your old horse is quite good at picking tasks, and our three regiments plan to stay!" Hu Guoshan also knew that although the living son had a heavy burden in this battle, he had the greatest hope of survival, so Hu Guoshan also wanted to stay, and he didn't want to steal his life.
"You grabbed the task with me again, no matter what you say this time, you can't let the three regiments rob it!" Ma Wanzhong immediately pointed at Hu Guoshan's nose and argued.
Of course, Hu Guoshan did not dare to show weakness, with the quarrel between the two, the original lifeless picture in the command headquarters disappeared, and everyone just watched the excitement happily.
"The two heads, since there is no dispute, it is better to draw lots!" Li Lingfei said with a smile.
"Hmmm! It's still your way, just draw lots! Ma Wanzhong immediately agreed to Li Lingfei's plan.
"If you draw lots, you will draw lots, I don't believe that my old Hu's luck will be worse than yours!" Hu Guoshan also took a step back.
"Okay, I'll write it now!" Li Lingfei walked to his desk and wrote two notes on his back.
Of course, Hu Guoshan couldn't bear it, and was the first to rush up and snatch the note from Li Lingfei's hand, Li Lingfei smiled faintly, and then shook his head lightly at Hu Guoshan. After Hu Guoshan got the note, he couldn't wait to open it and read it.
After reading the note in his hand, Hu Guoshan's face immediately changed, and two words were written on the note, "Don't stay".
"Okay, I, Hu Guoshan, accept my fate!" Hu Guoshan angrily tore the note in his hand into confetti and threw it aside.
Li Lingfei just smiled and didn't speak: "Since the general direction of the troops has been decided, then we will discuss the detailed battle plan next." ”
Liao Fan saw Li Lingfei throw the note in his hand into the paper basket, he also shook his head lightly, and sat down at the conference table with a smile.
"In this case, tomorrow night, the first and fourth regiments will begin to be transferred back to the periphery of the headquarters, and the fortifications we used when we first repelled the little devils can still be used, so we can improve them while we have time to ensure the solidity of the fortifications as much as possible! Lao Ma has already participated once, so this defense will be left to you with full authority, and the four regiments will serve as the reserve of one regiment! ”
Ma Wanzhong and Liu Chundao nodded, the first regiment and the fourth regiment combined have a total of 10,000 troops, as long as they cooperate properly, it is still possible to defend the headquarters station.
"Brother Fan, do our second regiment still have to stick to Beitai Peak?" Li Weimin asked.
"The mountain pass north of Beitai Peak is an important mountain pass, the main force of the Japanese army you are facing is about 30,000 people, these 30,000 people must be the Japanese garrison in Shanxi, Gangcun Ningci's army will directly pounce on our headquarters and surround us, the second regiment will also face the same situation, and the Japanese army of 30,000 people will also surround you." Liao Fan said to Li Weimin, "So if the second regiment can't support it, you can retreat to the area around Feihuling!" ”
Li Weimin nodded.
"If it is possible to separate the cavalry battalion as much as possible, hide it first, the cavalry battalion is not only a sharp knife of your second regiment, but also a sharp knife of our independent 33rd division, when necessary, the cavalry battalion will be the same as the third regiment, as the work of the whole battle!" Liao Fan continued to remind Li Weimin.
"I'll do this when I go back!"
