After Lu Liming finished speaking, he closed the door and then locked it again. With Chu Pengtian's ability, this room couldn't trap him at all, but thinking about what Liao Fan said about the shooting just now and how serious he looked, Chu Pengtian also dispelled the idea of slipping out, if he violated any military discipline again, it would be more than worth the loss.

After Liao Fan left, he returned to the headquarters, and as usual most nights, after they went to rest after Lu Liming, Liao Fan was on duty at the headquarters alone. During the daytime today, Li Zongren took away his detailed map.

However, Liao Fan certainly couldn't give away the map he had prepared the most, so he took out another map from the drawer of his desk and studied it carefully, this one was more detailed than the previous one. The map shows the number of permanent residents in the region and the development of the food economy.

This map is analyzed by Liao Fan based on the intelligence collected in the past half a year, of course, there are many data that are inaccurate, such as the little devil catching the strong man or the local people fleeing, which will cause errors in various data, but in general, such basic data is more conducive to analyzing the changes in the real strength of the enemy and us, after all, the local population and economy determine how many soldiers this place can raise, once the bottom line is crossed, too many troops are not combat effectiveness, but destructive power.

In particular, in the briefing between Gangmura Ningji and the General Staff Headquarters, he wrote that he should give the Chinese people "dignity" as much as possible, and even put forward the slogan of "currying favor with Jiang Aimin" to constantly divide the anti-Japanese forces; this is simply competing with the whole of China for population; once the population controlled by China decreases, the source of troops will decrease, which shows Gangcun Ningji's sinister intentions.

However, the staff headquarters of the little devil does not seem to like the Chinese, and the Japanese in East Asia, like the Germans in Germany, think that their Yamato nation is the best nation in the world. The soldiers who continue to burn, kill, loot, rape women, and even kill people in the streets in China, and afterwards are just two oceans of compensation.

Stimulated by Gangcun Ningci, Liao Fan paid more attention to the economy and population of their surrounding areas, after all, population is related to the source of troops in the army, and food is the foundation of the people.

Looking at the map in front of him, Liao Fan thought a lot, and unconsciously the night was deep, and the heat of Taihang Mountain at night had faded, but there was a trace of coolness, and there was the sound of insects inside and outside the headquarters, which made people feel the tranquility and beauty of Taihang Mountain.

Liao Fan lay on the table of the headquarters and gradually fell asleep, he had the same dream again, on the battlefield full of severed limbs and stumps, he was the only one left, I don't know whether it was burned red by the war or the blood-stained soil stretched for thousands of miles......

In the early morning, Liao Fan moved his body full of pain, and Liao Fan did not wake up from a nightmare, which made him feel tired all over his body. The little devil's attack is imminent, and Liao Fan, who has no intelligence source, is facing a lot of pressure, especially the various things that have happened recently, which make Liao Fan's brain run all the time.

After having breakfast in a hurry, Liao Fan met with Li Zongren again, this time the two of them discussed not the question of who would help whom alone, but their joint operation, although they were hundreds of miles apart, but they both understood that this was a cold battle.

If the Fifth Theater loses the battle, the little devil will inevitably send heavy troops to Taihang Mountain to encircle and suppress the 33rd Independent Division. In the same way, if the little devil escapes from Taihang Mountain, he will definitely send heavy troops south to attack the fifth war zone.

"I heard that the 33rd Independent Division does not yet have a professional telegraph operator, so in order for us to exchange news this time, I will arrange for a soldier from the communications squad to come over after we go back, so that we can also learn about each other's news in a timely manner."

Once the battle began, it would be impossible for the two sides to arrange for communication troops to pass through the enemy-occupied area for hundreds of miles to deliver news, and they could only communicate by telegraph. So Liao Fan didn't refuse Huai Yuanliang last time this time.

"I have a telegraph here, but I don't have a professional telegraph operator and a code book, and the communications soldiers who arrange it don't need to bring a telegraph, so it's not easy to be exposed on the road."

Liao Fan and Li Zongren discussed some specific battle plans, and until noon, after the two of them had dinner together, they were still discussing the issue of this war, but neither side had specific information, and most of the things said were that the two sides would definitely go all out to deal with the little devils once they had the opportunity, and they could not let them fight on the other side.

Since the two commanders didn't sleep well last night, the two actually slept at the headquarters at noon, but Li Zongren was lying on the simple bed in the headquarters, while Liao Fan was lying directly on the conference table. The guards of Lu Liming and Li Zongren were dumbfounded.

After waking up, Liao Fan took advantage of the coolness of the sun about to set, and took Li Zongren on a tour of his station, of course, the special combat team's station definitely did not go. However, seeing the orderly and vibrant scene of Taihang Mountain, Li Zongren also had to sigh that Liao Fan managed it well.

Of course, Liao Fan also taught some soldier training skills, after all, the methods of soldier training from the 21st century are more scientific, but not all training methods are suitable for the current war, after all, the weapons are different, and the opponents encountered on the battlefield are also different, so these training methods have been improved by Liao Fan.

"This method of training troops is indeed very effective, I don't know if Division Commander Liao has a general training outline here? I brought back a set of training methods that the 33rd Independent Division could teach to all Chinese armies, and most importantly, I couldn't learn the essence of it even after watching it for an hour or two here. Li Zongren looked at the training of these recruits, and really felt hot for Liao Fan's method of training soldiers, so he had to cheekily ask Liao Fan for a set of military training outlines.

Today's squadron training method inherits the Japanese army and Germany's method of training soldiers, and there is no training program for itself, so it is very different from the Japanese army and Western troops in terms of troop training.

Liao Fan scratched his head embarrassedly, these things were all figured out by himself, and when they were figured out, they were used in the army, if they were good, they would be left, and if they were bad, they would be thrown away, and he was busy with the exhibition of Taihang Mountain, so he didn't have time to record these things at all.

"Uh...... If Chief Li really needs it, I will ask the soldiers of the Logistics Department to write down these training methods, and then give a copy to Chief Li. ”

"I thought that this time I came to Taihang Mountain for nothing, but I didn't expect to be able to see a new set of soldier training methods when I left, not only I need it, but all the troops across the country need it, and after we finish this battle, Division Commander Liao must write a training outline." Li Zongren said to Liao Fan with a smile.

In the evening of the same day, Li Zongren asked to leave Taihang Mountain, and he promised that after three days, the soldiers of the communication squad would definitely bring the code book to Taihang Mountain, and all orders would be obeyed by Liao Fan at that time.

For Li Zongren's safety, Liao Fan asked Lu Liming to take five soldiers from the guard class to send Li Zongren back. Li Zongren wanted to shirk it, but Liao Fan didn't dare to joke about Li Zongren's safety, so Li Zongren had no choice but to leave Taihang Mountain under the protection of Lu Liming.

After Li Zongren left, Liao Fan went to the battalion headquarters of the guard battalion, and at this time Liao Jundong was in the command headquarters, looking at the recent training plan of the artillery battalion, in which physical training accounted for 70 percent, and technical training only accounted for 30 percent.

Most of the equipment of the artillery battalion is mortars and mountain artillery, and these artillery pieces are relatively light, so Liao Jundong's requirement for artillery is that they can leave after the fight, and they can fight when they are put down, so they focus on strengthening the physical training of the soldiers.

"Brother, what are you busy with?" Liao Fan walked into the command headquarters of the artillery battalion and saw that Liao Jundong was reading the documents.

"I'm not busy, I'm looking at the recent training plan to see what needs to be improved," Liao Jundong saw Liao Fan walk into the command headquarters, put down the documents in his hand, and poured a glass of water for Liao Fan, "I heard that someone from the Fifth War Zone is coming?" ”

"Yes, Li Zongren is here!" Liao Fan's tone was very flat, although he admired Li Zongren, the anti-Japanese hero, but he was not a fanatical fan of Li Zongren, and there was no need to organize a cheering squad for Li Zongren to come to the 33rd Independent Division to cheer for him.

Seeing Liao Fan's flat expression, Liao Jundong just smiled lightly, if he knew that the ** first-level general would look at himself in Taihang Mountain in the future, who would be excited and couldn't sleep, and only Liao Fan was so bland.

"The Supreme Commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations took the risk of coming to our Taihang Mountain alone, I'm afraid it's not just to drink tea and chat, right?" Liao Jundong asked.

"Brother, we are going to fight a big battle, I'm afraid this battle will ......" Liao Fan shook his head and didn't finish his words, after all, he couldn't predict what the outcome of this battle would be.

"I already knew that the little devil's plane flew in the sky every day, and it definitely didn't come to see us."

The veterans of Taihang Mountain have long sensed that the atmosphere in Taihang Mountain is not right in the past few days, and in addition to the frequent visits of Japanese planes in the sky, as long as they are veterans who have participated in the battle, they will definitely be able to guess a rough idea.

"I'm not worried about what the little devil's plane will detect, our troops are scattered in a large area of Taihang Mountain, and the camps are all selected places with high mountains and dense forests, it is difficult for Japanese planes to detect the specific situation on the ground and mountains, and each regiment has false targets!"

Liao Fan continued: "I'm worried about the scouts of the Japanese army and the spies who infiltrated our troops! They are our real threat, once the information leaks out or cooperates with the Japanese army to sabotage in the Taihang Mountains after the battle starts, this is the deadliest. ”

"Agent? You didn't tell me about it! Liao Jundong glanced at the outside of the headquarters, except for the guards selected by Liao Fan for him, who were standing guard with two soldiers, there was no one at all.
