However, during the whole meal, only Li Zongren did not say the purpose of coming this time, and when everyone dispersed in the end, Liao Fan took the initiative to leave Li Zongren in the headquarters.

"Commander-in-Chief Li, this is what you asked for last time!" Liao Fan took out a notebook from the drawer of his desk, and the notebook was densely packed with things.

"I just said that casually last time, but I didn't expect Commander Liao to really have a heart, this time I thank Commander Liao."

The training syllabus of the original independent 33rd Division recorded in the notebook, this is what Li Zongren told Liao Fan last time he came to Taihang Mountain, and Liao Fan sorted it out in his free time, as for whether this training method is suitable for the troops of the Fifth War Zone, Liao Fan does not know, after all, the physical fitness of the soldiers is different.

"This is not a big deal, it should have been our business to fight devils, but now it is divided into your family's and my family's!"

Li Zongren knew what Liao Fan meant, the situation of the meal just now was already obvious, and the national united front was also made by several families, just like Li Zongren was from the Gui family, Chen Cheng represented Chairman Jiang, Wei Lihuang represented the Central Army, not to mention the identity of Political Commissar Liu.

"No way, it's already very good that the whole of China can have the current situation, it's better than a few families fighting, and let little Japan reap the benefits of the fisherman, China has been in chaos for half a century, and our people are already old, the next thing is to look at you young people, I am very optimistic about you!" Li Zongren said.

Liao Fan smiled: "Doesn't the Fifth War Zone plan to establish a liaison office?" ”

Li Zongren looked at Liao Fan's smile and said, "The main purpose of my visit to Taihang Mountain this time is to see you, and then take this thing with me by the way." ”

Li Zongren cushioned the notebook in his hand and continued: "As for whether there is strategic cooperation between us, let's see the opportunities in the future, this Yellow River between the Fifth War Zone and Taihang Mountain is enough for us to be uncomfortable." ”

The distance between the Fifth War Zone and Taihang Mountain is indeed a bit far, although it can flank the Japanese army in the south direction of Henan from the north and south, but this will also have to wait for an opportunity, and Li Zongren estimates that it will be difficult in this life.

"And I'm going back tomorrow, you don't have to send me tomorrow morning, take care of them first!" Li Zongren patted Liao Fan on the shoulder and left the headquarters.

Liao Fan looked at Li Zongren's back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Now Taihang Mountain is no longer as dark as before, there are lights in the school and the hospital, and Liao Fan can see these two places at the door of the headquarters.

Liao Fan slowly sat on the steps at the entrance of the headquarters, looking at the bright starry sky in the distance, now he is a lieutenant general, but he is not happy at all.

It was not until the office in Chongqing and the liaison station in Zhongtiao Mountain were established in Taihang Mountain that Chen Cheng and Wei Lihuang left Taihang Mountain. As far as the New 33rd Army is concerned, this Chongqing office is completely an eye placed by Chairman Chiang on Taihang Mountain, monitoring every move of the New 33rd Army at any time. Liao Fan looked at this office that was incompatible with Taihang Mountain, and really wanted to demolish them, but if he didn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, he couldn't destroy the united front.

Political Commissar Liu took his guards to live in Taihang Mountain, where he lived was the dormitory of the guards next door to Liao Fan's headquarters, Liao Fan wanted to find a better place for Political Commissar Liu, but Political Commissar Liu did not agree, he originally came to Taihang Mountain to cause trouble to Liao Fan, so he didn't want to continue to trouble Liao Fan. In the end, Liao Fan couldn't resist Political Commissar Liu, so he had to give up.

"When was the liaison station of the Eighth Route Army established in Taihang Mountain?" Liao Fan and Political Commissar Liu walked on a path overgrown with weeds and big trees on both sides.

"It is estimated that there will be one more person in two or three days, and I will notify them when I come to Taihang Mountain!" Political Commissar Liu said, "By the way, you know the person who led the team this time!" ”

"I know?" Liao Fan wondered, he didn't know many people, especially the people on the side of the Eighth Route Army, and he knew even less.

"You'll know when they come!" Political Commissar Liu smiled mysteriously.

In the days of waiting for the liaison personnel of the Eighth Route Army to go to Taihang Mountain, a group of real builders came to Taihang Mountain, these people came from Shandong, they took a train all the way to Shijiazhuang, and then walked to Taihang Mountain.

Just because of the fame of Taihang Mountain, many young people who can't find direction and hope think that the hope of China's War of Resistance lies in the sudden rise of the army in Taihang Mountain, so they bid farewell to their families and came to Taihang Mountain along the way, just to build a new China in their minds.

When Liao Fan saw this group of students in ragged clothes and dirty faces, he was inexplicably moved in his heart, this may be hope, as long as there is this hope, Liao Fan will be able to lead the troops all the way.

This is the first batch of people who took the initiative to come to Taihang Mountain, Liu Deyun they were invited by Liao Fan, and now these people took the initiative to hear the reputation of Taihang Mountain, although the number is not large, but Liao Fan has been excited to dance, after all, people with knowledge learn everything quickly, and now Taihang Mountain needs such people.

In order to ensure the safety of the people who came to Taihang Mountain, Liao Fan mobilized more than 500 troops of the special combat team and asked them to sneak into the surrounding transportation arteries and county towns into the mountains to ensure their safety.

Two days later, the liaison staff of the Eighth Route Army finally arrived, and Political Commissar Liu said it well, the person who led the team Liao Fan knew, and these people were Liao Fan's teahouse proprietress who disappeared after rescuing prisoners of war in Qi County. Liao Fan was very happy to see her.

"Commander Liao, don't come unharmed!" After the proprietress of the teahouse saw Liao Fan, she took the initiative to shake hands with Liao Fan.

"This is our liaison, and I will trouble Brother Liao more in the future!" Political Commissar Liu said to Liao Fan.

Liao Fan came back to his senses and smiled nonsense: "No problem, the proprietress helped us a lot when she was in Qi County." ”

The liaison station of the Eighth Route Army was established very simply, because Liao Fan directly gave the proprietress an idea, that is, to let her continue to do her old job, and opened a teahouse in Liao Fan's military headquarters, which can be regarded as finding a place for the soldiers of the New 33rd Army to have leisure and entertainment.

Everything settled down, Liao Fan was mixed with the students in the school every day, and almost forgot about Fu Hongyu, because the students' whimsical ideas made Liao Fan feel that Taihang Mountain was full of vitality, and these vitality was what Taihang Mountain needed.

With the covert help of the special combat team, many young people from all over the country came to Taihang Mountain, and Taihang Mountain even became synonymous with China north of the Yellow River.

The reorganization of the 33rd Independent Division into the new 33rd Army had already reached the ears of various officers, but Liao Fan kept pressing and did not convey the order for reorganization, not because Liao Fan did not want to complete the reorganization of the troops immediately, but that the numbers of each division had become Liao Fan's biggest problem.

The number of the army is there, but the number of the division still needs Liao Fan to think about it seriously.

On a hot afternoon, the four regiment commanders of the former 33rd Independent Division, Sun Boyong, director of logistics, Liao Jundong, commander of the artillery battalion, and Huang Changsheng of the special combat team, gathered in the command headquarters, and everyone's faces were full of smiles, because they were about to be promoted and become generals.

"You all know about the reorganization of the troops, but the reorganization of the troops has to have a number, and it can't be called the first division, the second division, or the like, because these numbers have long been occupied by others, and the order for the reorganization of the unit has not been issued, and it is for this reason that the order has not been issued." Liao Fan said to everyone.

"Brother Fan, what is our name?" Hu Guoshan asked.

"In the past few days, I have calculated with Li Lingfei, the original regiment was reorganized into three brigades under the jurisdiction of the 918th Division, and Ma Wanzhong went back to think of the number of the troops yourself......

Liao Fan told several people the number of the reorganization of the unit, the second regiment was reorganized into the 771st Division, the third regiment was reorganized into the 395th Division, the fourth regiment was reorganized into the 396th Division, and the artillery battalion was reorganized into the Second Artillery Brigade, and the special combat team was also reorganized into the First Special Operations Brigade......

The four regiment commanders became division commanders, and they were all awarded the rank of major general, and then Liao Fan said that the task of each unit is to expand the strength, and the brigade under the division must ensure the strength of at least 5,000 people, but Liao Fan still said that if you don't have a gun, you won't give it to your life, and you will find a way for each unit yourself.

The 33rd Independent Division has been transformed from an old hen to a goat, and there is no one happier than these officers who have witnessed the growth of the troops.

"I won't arrange any combat missions for you this year, I don't care how your troops fight, but there is one thing, that is, to expand the troops as soon as possible, we can't stay in the Taihang Mountains!" Liao Fan said to the officers.

Of course, the reorganization of the troops cannot be completed overnight, especially now that the new 33 rd Army has a great cause, the appointment of officers at all levels must of course be well considered.

After Liao Fan announced his appointment, everyone applauded happily.

"Li Weimin, from today onwards, your division must pay attention to the development of cavalry and artillery, in the future, your division will face the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils, as well as the cavalry of the little devils on the grassland, I don't want our cavalry to have no power to parry against the cavalry of the little devils!"

"I understand Brother Fan!"

"And you Liu Chundao, your mouth is listed behind the root of your ear, I warn you not to be happy too early, your regiment was just established this year, and now you have become the division commander again, don't embarrass me when you go out to fight, Chairman Jiang only gave us the establishment of three divisions, if any of you don't do well, I will withdraw their division, and I just want to give Chairman Jiang an explanation."

Liao Fan must make them realize that they have not yet reached the time when Ma Fang Nanshan: "The tree is big and easy to attract the wind, and now that our new 33rd Army has become a big tree, it will inevitably attract the attention of the little devils, you must be vigilant!" ”

After everything was arranged, Liao Fan blasted away the four regiment commanders and told them to go back early, and the military department didn't care about their meals this time.

"Brother Fan, you have become a military commander, and you are still picking like this, a bowl of noodles can feed us!" Hu Guoshan complained and left the headquarters, but he was more happy in his heart because they had grown.
