Chapter 278: Liao Fan's Plans
Hearing Liao Fan's commendation, Li Weimin was not much happy, more than half of the casualties of the Second Regiment and the Guard Battalion in this battle. ┡E』 ㄟ.『 There were such big casualties in the troops, everything was the responsibility of him, the regiment commander, and now Liao Fan said that he was good, which made Li Weimin a little ashamed.
"Brother Fan, although this battle has caused a lot of losses to the little devils, but our troops have also suffered considerable losses, in comparison, our forces have become weaker, compared to the little devils in Shanxi, the loss of this bit of strength is nothing at all, this battle almost wiped out the second regiment and our third regiment again."
Liao Fan knew that Hu Guoshan was talking about things, and now the entire 33rd Independent Division can only be pulled out to take charge of itself, and only Ma Wanzhong's regiment and special combat team are left. The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment did not recover in the last battle, and this time the casualties were more than half of the casualties again, and the combat effectiveness showed a downward trend, which Liao Fan had to pay attention to.
"This time, we captured a regiment of puppet soldiers, reviewed them, and after training, they were supplemented to the second and third regiments, and as for the puppet army brought back by Zhao Caizhu, they were supplemented to the third regiment after training." Liao Fan knew that the top priority now was to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops, "There are also the weapons and ammunition that we brought back from the arsenal of the little devils this time, except for the artillery left for the artillery battalion, you three regiments are divided equally, but you must be clear about one thing, you train the artillery yourself." ”
"Brother Fan, our second regiment actually captured a lot of supplies in this pursuit battle." Li Weimin was a little weak-hearted, he didn't expect Liao Fan to divide so many materials this time, if Li Weimin hid the materials, it would be equivalent to their second regiment taking the sum of the combat materials of the other two regiments.
"The guard battalion is also going to be expanded, and supplies are needed, so the materials captured by the 2nd Regiment, as I said, are left behind, except for artillery." Liao Fan arranged the materials captured by each regiment, "Lao Ma divided the ammunition captured by your regiment in the battle to the third regiment, this time the three regiments suffered relatively large losses, what we need most now is to help each other in the same boat, so everyone tightens their belts, and when the combat effectiveness is restored, you can do whatever you want, I don't care." ”
Ma Wanzhong saw that his little abacus was seen through by Liao Fan, and said to Liao Fan with a smile: "Brother Fan, after I go back, I will arrange for the soldiers to send the ammunition to the third regiment." ”
"Actually, this little devil's attack has something to do with my affairs in Chongqing, and this time you were able to keep our home, and you guys contributed a lot." Liao Fan told everyone in the command why the little devil suddenly attacked.
"I said, why did the little devil enter Taihang Mountain quietly, it turned out that the rabbit cubs in Chongqing were making ghosts." Hu Guoshan scolded directly.
"Brother Fan, why did you come back alone this time, and how did you raise the brothers and Brother Liao who took you?" Huang Changsheng knew that when he returned to the station, Liao Fan did not have a single guard by his side, and Xiao Zhou and they didn't know where they went.
Hearing Huang Changsheng ask about Liao Jundong, several people in the headquarters suddenly remembered that the purpose of Liao Fan's trip to Chongqing this time was to ask Liao Jundong about the situation and what happened to Liao Fan in Chongqing.
"I have established an office of our independent 33rd Division in Chongqing, and Xiao Zhou and Brother Wang have been left in Chongqing by me," Liao Fan said, "As for my brother, I am worried that there will be a lot of trouble on the road, so I will go first, and he will take the rest of the people back to Taihang Mountain from other roads, and it is estimated that they will arrive in three days at the latest. ”
"Brother Fan, do you need to send a warrior to meet them?" Huang Changsheng was worried about Liao Jundong's safety.
"No, my brother is surrounded by soldiers from the special combat team, and when he came out of Chongqing, everyone was equipped with a pistol, and it would definitely be able to solve a small trouble, but it would be useless to send any troops over when we encountered a big trouble." Although Liao Fan is also worried about Liao Jundong's safety, he believes that Liao Jundong can solve these troubles, and the victory of this battle can completely let the little devil know that he has returned to Taihang Mountain, so as long as Liao Jundong and the others don't make too much trouble, it will be no problem to return to Taihang Mountain smoothly.
"So, Brother Liao won't leave Taihang Mountain in the future?" Li Weimin was originally Liao Jundong's subordinate, if Li Weimin did not go to Chongqing, Li Weimin would not be able to become the head of the Second Regiment.
"I plan to hand over the artillery battalion to my brother to lead, and when he comes back, the artillery battalion will be expanded into an artillery regiment, even if we don't have enough artillery, but we also have to train more artillery, and we will have more and more artillery in the future, so train good soldiers in advance, as long as there are artillery, they will be able to wield combat effectiveness."
Several people in the headquarters once again put forward their own suggestions to Liao Fan for the future development of their troops, and in the end they came to the unanimous conclusion that they should cultivate as much as possible within a month, expand the troops first, and then plot for future exhibitions.
Because everyone had just slept well, they chatted until late at night in the headquarters, and Li Weimin also handed over the affairs in the second regiment to the three battalion commanders to manage by themselves, so they were not in a hurry to go back tomorrow, and Liao Fan had just returned from Chongqing, and several brothers got together, and it was inevitable that there would be endless topics.
"Lao Hu, Zhao Caizhu fought well with the troops this time!" Liao Fan intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Zhao Caizhu, in this battle Zhao Caizhu led the troops to attack, suffered the least losses, and captured a company of puppet soldiers, which made Liao Fan, who usually didn't pay much attention to Zhao Caizhu, look at him with admiration.
And after Hu Guoshan heard Liao Fan's words, he instantly raised his vigilance, he was not guarding against Liao Fan, but the only officer in his army who was better If Liao Fan was targeted, this account would be a big loss.
"The deputy commander of the third regiment really fought well, even if I led the troops to fight Heshun County, I am afraid there would not be such a small casualty if I had the same results, and Zhao Caizhu and his troops were all recruits." Ma Wanzhong also praised Zhao Caizhu's family.
Hearing someone praise his regiment for being good, Hu Guoshan was of course happy, but he felt a hint of conspiracy: "He was lucky, the little devil sent too few troops, and before the little devil could organize an effective counterattack, he was scattered by a battalion of puppet troops." Of course Hu Guoshan can't hold Zhao Caizhu high, who knows if Liao Fan will snatch Zhao Caizhu away from him.
"Look at your old Hu picking, I won't pay attention to your regiment, now your regiment urgently needs talents," Liao Fan also wanted to transfer Zhao Caizhu to the command headquarters to train well, but when he thought that the whole of the third regiment was a mess, and he needed someone to help Hu Guoshan take care of it, so he dispelled this idea, "Since you have the ability, you can train more, this is also something that is good for your third regiment and our entire independent 33rd division." ”
Hu Guoshan breathed a sigh of relief, since the Third Regiment had Zhao Caizhu, his work has been much easier, not to mention anything else, separated from Sun Boyong's logistics, Zhao Caizhu has taken care of the logistics of the Third Regiment in an orderly manner. Once Zhao Caizhu was transferred away by Liao Fan, Hu Guoshan thought of managing the logistics by himself, and his head instantly became bigger.
Since there was no way to fight Zhao Caizhu's idea, Liao Fan turned his gaze to Ma Wanzhong.
"Brother Fan, you have something to say directly, don't look at me like this, you look at me like this, it makes me feel unsure." Ma Wanzhong looked at Liao Fan's appearance, knowing that he would definitely not be able to run this time, just now Liao Fan mentioned Zhao Caizhu, there must be something to arrange, maybe considering the situation of the three regiments, it is inconvenient to transfer Zhao Caizhu away, so he has his eyes on them.
"That pseudo-legion leader, what's your name?" Liao Fan just forgot the name of the thin pseudo-army leader for a while, so he stared at Ma Wanzhong.
"Called Zhizhengming, he was a company commander of the former Central Army, and he followed his commander's portrait as a little devil and became a puppet army. After the little devil buried a regiment of the puppet army alive, he was promoted to the commander of the regiment, but his regiment was to help maintain law and order in the county, and as for the specific operations, their regiment was not even a third-rate. "Ma Wanzhong has investigated the situation of the captives clearly and reported it to Liao Fan truthfully.
"In this way, you will let Zhi Zhengming report to the headquarters tomorrow!" Liao Fan also generally learned about the situation of stopping the correct name.
Huang Changsheng was the first to understand what Liao Fan meant, and Liao Fan meant that he wanted to reuse his name: "Brother Fan, this is not good, it is not safe to put a puppet army by your side." ”
"Brother Fan, this ......" Hearing what Huang Changsheng said, several other people also instantly understood what Liao Fan meant, and hurriedly stopped Liao Fan.
"There's nothing good or bad, you Ma Wanzhong used to be a puppet army, and now you don't fight the little devils all over the place?" Liao Fan said.
"Lao Ma is different from those puppet soldiers...... Li Weimin, who was silent, also stepped forward to dissuade Liao Fan, he should not put a person with an unknown background by his side, Liao Fan's safety is related to the safety of the independent thirty-three.
"It's nothing different, they are all Chinese, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he will die for the little devil, this matter does not need to be discussed, besides, your second regiment does not have a pseudo-army to surrender or your third regiment does not have a pseudo-army to surrender?" Liao Fan interrupted Li Weimin's dissuasion.
Liao Fan believes in his own judgment, if a person is indifferent to watching his former colleagues and bosses being buried alive by the little devil, either this person is outside, or he is really hard-hearted, Liao Fan does not believe that Zhi Zhengming is a hard-hearted person, and he used to be a company commander in the Central Army, and the company commander of the Central Army is a really capable person, so Liao Fan doesn't care about everything, and wants to recruit Zhi Zhengming to his command.
If Zhi Zhengming is a talent, Liao Fan will inevitably let him lead the troops alone in the future, if Zhi Zhengming really has evil intentions, Liao Fan believes in himself, before Zhi Zhengming does it, Liao Fan will definitely be able to solve him first.
Seeing that Liao Fan refuted everyone's suggestions, Ma Wanzhong had no choice but to nod and promise Liao Fan to let Zhi Zhengming report to the headquarters early tomorrow morning.
