"My brother Fan, who provoked your old man to have such a big temper?"

Liao Fan looked up at Hu Guoshan, who was still wearing a bandage on his arm: "How is your injury?" ”

"Brother Fan still cares about me, not like an old horse, saying that I am sick all day long, and he will cheat and cheat. Ｅ┡． Hu Guoshan moved his arm in front of Liao Fan, "Okay, it's almost there, in a few days I'll go to the hospital to find John to remove all the bandages for me, it's too inconvenient to wrap these things, the most important thing is that I can't take a bath, I'm about to get rancid, Brother Fan, I don't believe you smell it." ”

Hu Guoshan said as he leaned towards Liao Fan.

Liao Fan looked disgusted with him: "Get away, fucking mess with me again, Lao Tzu asked you to finish the unfinished push-ups now." ”

"Hehe, Brother Fan, do you remember this, I'm a wounded now, you said it, the wounded can't participate in training." Hu Guoshan said with a smile, and then put the newspaper he had just picked up on the table, the table and chair that were originally lame had already been burned by Liao Fan as chopping wood, "Brother Fan, did they do this matter?" ”

"Well, it's true that Changsheng did it with the special combat team." The attack on the airport was a task given to Huang Changsheng by Liao Fan.

"Brother Fan, this is a good thing, you see that we have killed so many little devils behind enemy lines and have never been in the newspapers, Changsheng led the special combat team to blow up the little devil's airport, and now the people of the whole country know that the little devils are not three-headed and six-armed, so this can arouse the confidence of the people in the War of Resistance." Hu Guoshan still maintains his optimistic attitude as always, and will think about the good side of everything.

"You didn't just come to the headquarters to comfort me, but to say something." Liao Fan understands Hu Guoshan's character, and even if he tells Hu Guoshan the worst aspect, he can find some good things in it.

"Brother Fan, our three regiments, the three battalion commanders have all been defeated in this battle, and the positions of the company commanders are vacant, it is a bit too difficult to pull the three regiments back up and restore their combat effectiveness."

After the battle, Hu Guoshan gathered all the men of the three regiments, including the wounded. Seeing that he was under the bottom of more than 1,600 people from the beginning of the war, there were still so many people left, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable, he didn't sleep well for the past two nights, and he was bent on how to pull the three regiments up again, but in the end, it was really easy to get a thousand troops, and it was difficult to find a general, and finding a suitable company commander had already let him pick and choose, not to mention the position of the battalion commander.

Liao Fan also knew the current situation of the three regiments, the three regiments suffered the greatest casualties, and only more than 70 were left uninjured, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

"If you have any ideas, just bring them up and I'll find a way to help you."

"I want to temporarily reduce the strength of the three regiments into the size of a company." Hu Guoshan stared at Liao Fan, hoping that he could agree, after all, it was a bit unrealistic to let a regiment commander be a company commander, but judging from the situation of the troops, the soldiers of the original three regiments could not get together a company, "Brother Fan, I have been thinking about this idea for several days. ”

"No, the three regiments are indispensable." Liao Fan directly denied Hu Guoshan's plan, "First of all, it's not a question of how many soldiers you have, it's a matter of morale, a regiment has become a company, and morale will inevitably be hit, you, the regiment commander, can bear it in your heart, can the current soldiers of your three regiments understand?" And the soldiers who died in battle, and the result of their lives in exchange for their regiment turned into a company? Their bones have just been laid out, how do you want me to explain to them? ”

"Brother Fan, listen to me first......"

"There's nothing to say," Liao Fan interrupted Hu Guoshan's words, "Transfer half of the soldiers of the guard battalion to your regiment, I will give you half a year, no matter what means your old Hu uses, you must lead the three regiments again, if you want a gun, I will give you a gun, and if you want money, I will give you money, but after half a year, if I can't see a more powerful third regiment, let alone a company commander, I will not be qualified to be a soldier at that time." ”

After reading the newspaper, he was not in a very good mood, and Liao Fan almost yelled at the words. Hu Guoshan had never seen Liao Fan have such a big temper, and he knew that this matter seemed to touch Liao Fan's bottom line. Hu Guoshan stood in place, staring at Liao Fan blankly, without saying a word.

Liao Fan also seems to realize that he is wrong, it is his own responsibility for the third regiment to have such a situation, and now it is all borne by Hu Guoshan, and the third regiment has become like this, the most uncomfortable person should be Lao Hu.

"Lao Hu, I'm sorry!" Liao Fan hurriedly apologized, "I didn't control my emotions. The soldiers in the guard battalion are all veterans we brought along the way, with rich combat experience, and I have trained them in the way of officers, although they are a little lacking in the ability to be company commanders, but it is more than enough to be a platoon commander, and then let them lead the troops alone and train them, I believe they will soon become a qualified officer. ”

"Brother Fan, I'm ...... However...... "Hu Guoshan didn't expect Liao Fan to give him the soldiers of the guard battalion, the veterans of the guard battalion were all soldiers of the former German armament division, and they had been trained by the Germans.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Liu Chundao over there, you don't have to worry about whether the rest of the guard battalion can guarantee my safety, your most important task now is to pull up the three regiments as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness, I believe in your Lao Hu's ability." Liao Fan walked up to Hu Guoshan, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for Hu Guoshan to let go and do it.

In this battle, Liao Fan's troops were beaten from a division of the regular army to a guerrilla force, and they were not even as good as when he first took over the troops. He didn't have to worry about the weapons in his hands at all now, the weapons and equipment captured this time were enough for him to equip another division of troops, but there was no one in his hands, and the originally lively garrison was now empty. Liao Fan stayed in the headquarters all day long, not because he didn't want to go out, but because he didn't want to see a training venue and feel sad.

During this period, Fu Hongyu came to the headquarters to see Liao Fan once, but he didn't stay too long, there were too many patients in the hospital, and there were not enough medical staff in the hospital.

In addition to the hospital, Sun Boyong is even busier, in addition to taking his soldiers to be responsible for the reconstruction of the station, he is also responsible for the stability of the people, and Liao Fan has handed over a bunch of things to Sun Boyong, because Sun Boyong's logistics department has more people than the first regiment and the third regiment combined.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, the smoke on Taihang Mountain has dissipated, the station of the 33rd Independent Division has gradually regained popularity, and Liao Fan has also moved into the new headquarters. A few people sat around the fire, discussing things.

The special combat team had already returned to the station ten days ago, and Liao Fan's purpose in arranging them behind enemy lines was to create momentum, and blowing up the little devil's plane was just a matter for Huang Changsheng to take the sheep by the hand. Although the little devil hurriedly evacuated Taihang Mountain, the army was unstable for a while, but the Japanese army still had the ability to fight back, if the little devil reacted, only one squadron of soldiers could eat Liao Fan and their remnants, so Liao Fan asked the special combat team to go to the enemy war zone to harass the little devil as much as possible, the little devil was already a soldier, coupled with Huang Changsheng's constant pressure on the Japanese army behind the enemy, so that the little devil could not withdraw and concentrate on attacking Taihang Mountain again.

The recruitment and training of the troops are also gradually on the right track, and Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan finally took a break from the army.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and a few people were sitting around the fire in the headquarters roasting sweet potatoes and warming themselves.

"Singing, the weather is getting colder and colder, how are the soldiers' cotton clothes prepared?" It won't be long before it will snow in Taihang Mountain, and if the soldiers don't put on their cotton clothes in time, they can cause a large area of non-combat attrition.

"Brother Fan, according to your order, a soldier has one cotton coat and two single clothes, but the cotton shoes have not been made yet, and I have asked the fellow villagers to help make them." Sun Boyong's ability in logistics has been tempered, and now he is doing things more and more in place.

"We can't let the villagers help, we can give money, we can give money, we can't give money, we use the resources in our hands in exchange, and we can't take advantage of the people, after all, the people in the mountainous areas have no other income except for the fields all year round." Now Taihang has become Liao Fan's base and rear supply area, and he must have a good relationship with the people, although he does not want to become the hero of the world, but if he wants to drive the little devils out of China, he has to rely on the strength of the people.

"Brother Fan, don't worry, I've already told the soldiers."

"You can't just rely on advice, you must set up a special law enforcement team, as long as one person dares to do something sorry for the people, he will be arrested directly, and the evidence is conclusive and shot on the spot." In troubled times, Liao Fan has regarded Taihang Mountain as his home, and the people of Taihang Mountain as his relatives, who dares to do it to his relatives in his own home, that is really the old birthday star who eats arsenic and lives impatiently.

"I understand Brother Fan, I will definitely arrange it when I go back." Sun Boyong also understands the reason why Liao Fan did this, after all, logistics has the most contact with the people, and understands how much the people play.

"Hey, you two pay attention, the sweet potatoes are baked, how can you eat them like this." Liao Fan suddenly saw Hu Guoshan and Liu Chundao throwing sweet potatoes into the fire, and quickly took out the sweet potatoes with a stick, and said to the two of them with contempt, "You guys aren't wasting food." ”

"Brother Fan, isn't it good if the sweet potatoes are roasted?" Hu Guoshan doesn't care about these details, as long as he can eat it.

"Li Weimin, you go get some mud from outside, then wrap the sweet potatoes in mud and roast them in the fire." Liao Fan originally wanted to make a simple grill, but seeing that Ma Wanzhong and the others were about to drool, they could only roast it.

"Hey! If only there was a hare now, roasted hare is much more fragrant than roasted sweet potato. Ma Wanzhong sucked his saliva, thinking about how delicious the hare meat was.
