Just when the railway was about to be repaired, Liao Fan began to calculate his troops! According to the existing strength of Taihang Mountain, it is impossible for them to take the entire Northeast in one go, so they can only fight against the little devils while developing!

"If this plan is to be carried out, which troops do you think is appropriate to arrange for the Northeast?"

Liao Fan asked Li Lingfei that this time to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the northeast, it was necessary to arrange troops! But now their troops still have to defend their defense area, and they can't transfer all their troops to the northeast, and if the foundation of Taihang Mountain is shaken, this is not a good thing.

"Brother Liao's troops who went out around us, Changsheng's troops, only have four main army groups plus the armored army! Not to mention our armored forces, the first and fourth armies of the four main armies have the largest strength of the first and fourth armies of Lao Hu and Liu Chundao, and the two group armies have grown to more than 300,000 horses! In particular, Lao Hu's troops have strong combat effectiveness, their troops have always been at the forefront of the battle against the Japanese army, the soldiers have rich combat experience, and the equipment is also the best among the four main group armies! ”

Li Lingfei began to analyze the four main group armies in their hands, Ma Wanzhong's Fifth Group Army in the northeast, although it has begun to develop, but it does not have the size of a group army at all, not even a division of troops! Chu Pengtian's troops are in the mountainous area of central Henan, although I heard that the strength has recently grown to more than 15,000 people, but their equipment is the worst unit in the Taihang Mountain, although the combat effectiveness has improved compared with before, but it is also the worst unit, let them fight guerrilla warfare and unconventional battles is okay, if they are allowed to resist the Japanese army, it is estimated that it is not as good as the ability of one regiment in the four group armies.

"As for the troops of Commander Cun and Li Weimin, although they also have a total of 200,000 troops, the combined combat effectiveness of these two group armies is only equal to the combat effectiveness of Lao Hu's one and a half group armies!"

When Ma Wanzhong was in Taihang Mountain, in order to block the Japanese army, Ma Wanzhong's troops suffered heavy losses in the Jingcheng area, and the veterans and officers lost more than half.

"Hmmm......"

Liao Fan fell into thought, the strength of the Japanese army in the Pingjin area has increased to 500,000 troops, and there are also a large number of Japanese troops in the southern Hebei region of Shandong, if he wants to prevent these Japanese troops, and not let the Japanese army find out that their main force is moving, they must prepare a large number of troops now!

"We can't attack the northeast with less than two group armies, and we don't include Ma Wanzhong's troops and other directly subordinate troops!"

Attacking the Northeast is not an overnight thing, they must first gain a firm foothold, and then they can regain the lost ground step by step, with the Taihang Mountain alone, even if they are all sent to the Northeast Region, they will not be able to drive the Japanese army out! Therefore, they must choose a good foothold, and then slowly develop through the troops in their hands and grow the troops again!

"Two army groups of 200,000 to 300,000 people! In this way, nearly half of our troops in Taihang Mountain were siphoned off, and the situation around us was still not optimistic, Okamura Ningji had been eyeing us, and he would definitely attack North China again if he had a chance! ”

Liao Fan is not too worried about the things in the south, there is a fifth war zone in the direction of Henan and Anhui, although it can't play a big role, and the little devil doesn't dare to act too rashly! Liao Fan is most worried about the Japanese army in the direction of Shandong and the direction of the Pingjin area, Okamura Ningji does not have any worries in the Pingjin area, as long as he sees the right time, he can go south at any time, and if he can't fight, he can retreat, and Liao Fan has no way to take them.

"Are we planning a little too fast?"

Liao Fan began to doubt whether his plan was too advanced, the army had not yet developed to that level, he began to prepare for the next plan, and he could make up for it in a short period of time through all aspects, but it was easy to cause a castle in the air for a long time, and the troops were always in a hurry to implement his ideas and plans, and some problems would inevitably be ignored!

"Brother Fan, we're in a bit of a hurry! But we still have time! The Fifth Army in the Northeast also needs time, they are just beginning to develop, give them more time, they will develop a very big role in surviving behind enemy lines or containing the Japanese army! ”

Liao Fan was in a hurry this time, Ma Wanzhong and they had just developed, and there were only a few thousand troops, but there were millions of Japanese troops in the northeast, even if Ma Wanzhong and they were all heavenly soldiers, one could fight twenty, and there was no way to contain too many Japanese troops! As long as they are given time, with Ma Wanzhong's ability, it is still very possible to develop and strengthen the troops.

And Taihang Mountain has enough materials and weapons for combat needs, but their strength has always been the biggest shortcoming! Although in terms of combat effectiveness, they have stabilized the other two major forces among the three major forces, but his strength is not even a quarter of the strength of the Communist Party!

"It seems that I was really in too much of a hurry, thinking that with the Soviets' equipment, I thought I was invincible in the world, but fortunately I discussed it with you this time, otherwise I would have made a big mistake!"

The equipment of the army in Taihang Mountain has changed several times, which makes Liao Fan fluttering, and now with such equipment, it can be regarded as the best equipped unit in Asia, and the four group armies already have armored divisions and artillery units under their hands! In terms of the amount of individual armor and artillery, the troops in Taihang Mountain are significantly higher than the Japanese army! This series of advantages, anyone is a little complacent!

But it is precisely because of such an advantage that Liao Fan ignores the shortcomings of their troops, that is, the problem of troops! Although their defense area is getting bigger and bigger, Liao Fan has always pursued that the soldiers are not more expensive but more refined, so their forces have been compressed, and there has been no large-scale expansion and replenishment of new soldiers, mainly because Liao Fan wants to leave enough labor for the local people, after all, they are still a big agricultural country.

"Tell Sun Boyong to let his logistics department start recruiting, with a number of 100,000 soldiers, aged between eighteen and fifty!"

It has been a long time since there has been such a large-scale expansion of the army in Taihang Mountain, although all the troops below have carried out self-recruitment training, but the number of recruits in the defense area in the name of the command can indeed be counted, and this time it is 100,000 recruits, which is a relatively sensational thing for the people and the army.

"Brother Fan, isn't such a large-scale recruitment too ostentatious? Once the Japanese army finds out that we are recruiting and training new recruits on a large scale, they will definitely detect our actions and then take precautions! Li Lingfei reminded that it was best for them to secretly transport equipment to the front line when attacking the Japanese army in the northeast, and when the Japanese army found out, they were already under the nose of the Japanese army.

"I can't take care of so much anymore, presumably it is more important to have a strong army than to act in secret, and any plan is nonsense in the face of absolute power!"

The railway is still some time to be completed, and according to the direction of the railway, the Japanese side can more or less guess what they are going to do! At this time, it is necessary to give the Japanese army a false reality, so that the Japanese army knows that they are also going to attack, but they don't know where to attack or when to attack these little devils, so during the period when they recruit and train new soldiers, the little devils will definitely be nervous and stare at them all the time!

Li Lingfei didn't dissuade Liao Fan anymore, with their current ability, they could raise as many troops as they wanted, and it was still relatively easy to train 100,000 troops, after all, Taihang Mountain already had a very strong military foundation! It's not that all the people are soldiers, but it's also a militia everywhere! Although these militiamen have not been on the battlefield, they are real soldiers when they are organized and trained for a period of time!

The recruitment of the logistics department quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of the Taihang Mountain Defense Zone, but behind the recruitment notice is that students are not allowed to join the army, if you really want to be a soldier, you can apply for the military academy and enter the army through the military school, otherwise as long as you are a student, you will not be allowed to enlist!

Liao Fan is also worried that young people are patriotic! It is not easy to reserve some talents for the country, although these are not talents, or they will not be talents in the future, but at least they can be a teacher to teach and educate people, talent revitalization is the country, teachers cultivate talents!

It is not easy to cultivate a little talent, Liao Fan does not want them to lose on the battlefield, and when the country is peaceful, the role of soldiers will be slightly less than in the war, but only those with knowledge can practice their talents in a peaceful country, and dedicate their knowledge and ability to the country, so that the country can become strong.

The effect of propaganda is obvious, one to ten, ten to hundred! I heard that Taihang Mountain is recruiting new recruits, and many people have signed up to participate!

At the same time, such a large-scale recruitment of troops will definitely not be able to hide from all aspects, and other aspects are okay, Chongqing and the Japanese army are more vigilant about all actions in Taihang Mountain! However, the reaction of the two is different. Chairman Chiang's reaction was realistically curious, and then he went with the flow, because there was too little that could be done in this regard.

And the Japanese army, especially Okamura Ninji, reacted the most violently! As long as there is a little wind and grass in Taihang Mountain, Okamura Ningji will be a soldier! Some time ago, Taihang Mountain built a railway, and now there is a crazy recruitment, obviously Taihang Mountain is preparing for the next action.

"What the hell is Liao Fan going to do?" Okamura Ninji urgently ordered his intelligence unit to collect information on Taihang Mountain.

He has to figure out what Liao Fan is going to do next, as Liao Fan's opponent, he can't wait for Liao Fan to do it before he knows what Liao Fan wants to do, otherwise it will be too late!

The intelligence personnel of the Japanese army began to infiltrate the Taihang Mountains in large numbers, and they did not dare to make actual contact with the soldiers in the Taihang Mountains, because the vigilance of these soldiers was too high.
