Chapter 304: Expansion and Growth

The other personnel in the command headquarters all frowned when they heard Yan Xuelin's statement, obviously this was a major situation, only Liao Fan guessed that the little devil would set up an ambush in the area of Scorpion Gully in the entire 33rd Independent Division, and the special combat team and prisoners on the march had no intelligence source, how did they know that there would be an ambush in the area of Scorpion Gully. Ξ”Ξ”γ€ŽE smallγ€ŽΞ© β”‘ said .

"Make things clear!" Liao Fan frowned like everyone else, but Liao Fan was even more surprised.

"Here's how it ......" When Yan Xuelin arrived at the entrance of Scorpion Gully, the third team leader arranged for the soldiers to tell him in detail in front of several people, "Brother Fan, more than half of the troops had already entered Scorpion Gully at that time, so I didn't let the troops retreat, and this matter is my responsibility." ”

In the end, Yan Xuelin did not forget to take the main responsibility for the matter.

"You did nothing wrong!" Liao Fan comforted Yan Xuelin and said, "Since the little devil has set up an ambush in the area of Scorpion Gully, even if the troops retreat, the armored vehicles and tanks of the little devils waiting in the rear will drive you into Scorpion Gully, so in this battle, whether you enter Scorpion Gully with your troops or not, you will be attacked by the little devils, and if you enter Scorpion Gully, I will be able to arrange for the troops to carry out rescue!" ”

Liao Fan is telling the truth, the third team leader led the troops to lose more than 100 people in only about ten minutes, it can be seen that the pursuit of the special combat team and the captives is the little devil elite mechanized troops, their main purpose is to drive the captives into the scorpion ditch when there is a sudden situation, but what the little devil didn't expect was that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and Liao Fan was ambushed with a regiment and an artillery battalion.

"Deputy Captain Yan, you don't have to blame yourself for this matter, even if Changsheng commands the battle, he will bring the troops into the Scorpion Gully, after all, it is too dark and you are not familiar with the terrain around the Scorpion Gully, the most important thing is that more than half of the troops have entered the Scorpion Gully, and the troops who suddenly retreat will also fall into chaos." Li Weimin also spoke.

"But you said that the leader of the three groups expected that there was an ambush ahead?" Liao Fan asked if there were still talents in his army who had not been used, which made Liao Fan feel ashamed.

"It's not the situation of the leader of the three groups, it was a soldier among the captives who told the three team leaders, according to the three team leaders, the soldier judged that there would be an ambush in the area of Scorpion Gully based on the pursuit of the little devil!" Yan Xuelin replied truthfully, he could see Liao Fan's desire for talents.

"Where is that soldier now?"

"I don't know, he has been following the side of the third team leader when he broke through, and after coming to the station, the third team leader separated from him, as for the soldiers who should be in the team of several of them now, I have already checked the soldiers who have been added to the special combat team, and the third team leader has not been found." Yan Xuelin glanced at the other five people present.

Ma Wanzhong and a few people looked at Liao Fan and Yan Xuelin's gaze swept towards them, and several people immediately turned their heads aside, the soldier Yan Xuelin said must be a talent, at this time, there is a lack of capable people everywhere in the army, in case they are assigned to their own troops, as long as they go back to check, they will definitely be able to find out, even if Liao Fan wants someone with them, it can be said that the army cannot do without him, just like Hu Guoshan tricked Zhao Caizhu from transferring away.

Liao Fan saw through the minds of several people, Liu Chundao and Zhi Zhengming said that one of the two people was Liao Fan's former guard, and the other was a newcomer, and the two of them didn't dare to hide in front of Liao Fan. As for the three regiment commanders, they have become veteran oils with Liao Fan, and they want to hide any good things in their own regiments, and they can hide for a while.

"Boss Yan, go back to the special combat team's station first, tell the third team leader, and let him find out this person as soon as possible and bring him to the command headquarters!" Liao Fan stared at the three regiment commanders, his three regiment commanders are more difficult to deal with than little devils, Li Weimin still has some rules, Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan are better than people.

Hearing Liao Fan's order, Yan Xuelin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately left the place of right and wrong of the headquarters, although Yan Xuelin didn't know much about Ma Wanzhong and them, but he knew more or less about the three regiment commanders, and as for the things that the headquarters was going to live, Yan Xuelin had already guessed most of them.

Sure enough, Yan Xuelin had just left the headquarters, and Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan immediately made an excuse to leave: "Brother Fan, there are still many things in our regiment, let's go first." ”

"Lu Liming closed the door of the headquarters for me, don't leave any of the five of you today, I'll take care of the dinner at night, just to introduce you to a few people!" Liao Fan ordered Lu Liming to close the door of the headquarters and let Lu Liming lead the soldiers to block the door.

"Xiao Lu, wait a while, I'm going out to the bathroom!" When Ma Wanzhong saw that Lu Liming was about to close the door, he immediately shouted loudly, but Lu Liming closed the door directly as if he didn't hear it. Ma Wanzhong ran to the door and almost hit the door.

The door of the headquarters was closed, and Ma Wanzhong saw that there was no hope, so he had to retreat back stupidly, and then looked at Liao Fan's eyes and said, "Brother Fan, I'm really going to the toilet!" ”

Hearing that Ma Wanzhong was still quibbling, the other four people all laughed "haha".

"Hahaha, old horse, you can save your worries, we can only sleep together tonight!" Hu Guoshan is Ma Wanzhong's old rival, looking at Ma Wanzhong's appearance, he is the happiest one.

"You Lao Hu don't have to worry about your third regiment, there is also a Zhao Caizhu, our first regiment and Li Weimin's second regiment, where can one take the initiative to provoke the beam?" Ma Wanzhong is already immune to Hu Guoshan's cynicism.

Li Weimin, who was beside Hu Guoshan, immediately responded after hearing Ma Wanzhong's words: "Old Ma, don't talk about our second regiment, if Brother Fan wants to ask for someone from our second regiment, I definitely don't have a second word!" ”

"It's still Li Weimin who takes care of the overall situation, the two oldest regiment commanders of you are fighting back and forth, not both of them are from the independent 33rd Division, if that Zhao Caizhu is transferred over, he Hu Guoshan can only obediently obey orders!" Liao Fan pointed to Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan and criticized.

Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong had no choice but to bow their heads and listen to Liao Fan's reprimand, in fact, Liao Fan is not a reprimand, people close to Liao Fan know that Liao Fan is ridiculing them more, and Liao Fan is completely delegating power to them in the affairs of the army, and only if he has full trust in them, Liao Fan will say this about them.

After "reprimanding" the two people, Liao Fan said to Li Weimin again: "Li Weimin, I will give you a holiday for the rest of the day, you can go to the artillery battalion, but you have to go back to the headquarters for dinner!"

Li Weimin is Liao Jundong's old subordinate, Liao Jundong has been back to the station for a while, everyone is busy during this time, Li Weimin finally returned to the headquarters from his station, of course, to see his old commander.

"Thank you, Brother Fan, I'm going!" Li Weimin was still thinking about this issue on the way here, but he didn't expect Liao Fan to give him a holiday now.

"Brother Fan, it's not fair that Xiao Lizi can go out......" Hu Guoshan didn't expect such a sentence, Li Weimin left, and the others could only sit and stare dryly.

"Lao Hu, can you use your heart and eyes on serious things, let's talk about it, how is the situation of the third group recently?"

Hu Guoshan smiled awkwardly: "Everything in the three regiments is on the right track, and the recruits are gradually recruited, but the training is a little worse, but after supplementing these more than 800 veterans this time, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be rapidly improved. ”

"The idea is good, I sent you out to let you fight the little devils to train the army, not to let you go out to travel, recently the little devils are preparing to go south to attack Hengyang, and the railway line in western Shanxi may be busy, this is a good opportunity!" Liao Fan told a few people that the main force of the little devils will inevitably be more slackened in the rear when they go south, and take this opportunity to attack, not only can they reduce the pressure on the front, but they can also take the opportunity to train their troops.

"Brother Fan, are we going to pull out our reconnaissance battalion to fight with the little devils?" Zhi Zhengming asked Liao Fan's opinion.

"No! The reconnaissance battalion has just been formed, and the soldiers have just been replenished, and they must be trained before they can go out to operate," Liao Fan shook his head and said, "By the way, Lao Ma, this time two hundred soldiers from your regiment will be transferred to supplement the reconnaissance battalion." ”

"Huh? Brother Fan, how did you get out of our group? Ma Wanzhong didn't think that he didn't say a word, and more than 200 people were transferred, and his face immediately became aggrieved.

"Don't think I don't know, from this battle, your regiment has gained a lot from the puppet army, just transfer 200 puppet army prisoners to correct the name." Liao Fan said.

Zhi Zhengming glanced at Ma Wanzhong gratefully. In this battle, Ma Wanzhong only incorporated more than 600 people from the puppet army, not to mention the various materials hoarded in various strongholds, which made a united and solid fortune.

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from Brother Fan's bright eyes, Brother Fan recently captured four radio stations in our regiment, do you want to send them to the headquarters as well?" Ma Wanzhong said with a smile.

"Keep the radio station for yourselves, and when Liu Chunjian trains suitable telegraph personnel, I will send them over."

Liao Fan learned about some other situations in the troops, and this time a large number of captured soldiers were added, so that the 33rd Independent Division swelled a lot in a short period of time, except for the soldiers of the logistics and special combat teams, the other combat units actually fought to nearly 8,000 people, and Liao Fan once again became a veritable division commander.

However, these forces are far from enough for Liao Fan, when the Taihang Mountain is at its strongest, there are more than 10,000 combat troops, of course, at that time, Division Commander Chen has not yet evacuated Taihang Mountain, and the two sides have a total of 10,000 troops, but now there is only Liao Fan's independent 33rd division in Taihang Mountain, so Liao Fan must strengthen the troops as soon as possible, so that he can go out of Taihang and beat the little devils out.

When Liao Fan finished eating at the headquarters with a few people, a soldier walked into the headquarters and put several pieces of information in front of Liao Fan, all of which were little devil information obtained by the soldiers of the special combat team from the surrounding counties.
