The company commander was not sure that his arrangement would be foolproof, so he arranged for the soldiers to contact their battalion commander and tell them what they had heard about, so that they could come to their aid as soon as possible.

So the company commander took the four soldiers to disguise themselves, and then wanted to set off in Jinzhong.

At this time, Liao Jundong also held a banquet for the new 33rd Army in Taihang Mountain, except for Hu Guoshan and Li Weimin, the other division commanders and regiment commanders should have arrived, of course, this is not just everyone getting together for dinner, they also have to report this combat report, which has been the goal of the development of various units in the future. To put it bluntly, it is to talk about what to do in the future by eating, of course, it is more relaxed in this environment, especially those regiment leaders, who rarely report their work in front of Liao Jundong.

"Deputy Division Commander Zhao, how do you see that you are a little absent-minded, what's wrong? Is it the food cooked in the cooking class that is not delicious? ”

Compared with the days when there was not enough food and clothing in the past, the situation of the new 33rd Army is much better now, but there is no habit of wasting it in the troops, and even if it is unpalatable, the soldiers can eat it, because there is nothing more difficult to swallow than smelling the smell of corpses on the battlefield and eating cold nests.

"It's okay, I was thinking about some things in the army just now, and I was distracted!" Zhao Caizhu is indeed thinking about things, but he is thinking about the matter of the tide of displaced people, he is thinking about whether to report this matter to Liao Jundong, Hu Guoshan explained that he does not need to tell Liao Jundong about this matter before he set off, they have enough to solve it themselves, but on the way to the headquarters, Zhao Caizhu always feels that this matter is not simple.

"Deputy Division Commander Zhao, aren't all the things in the army arranged, since you have come to the station, just relax and don't think so much all day long!" On this occasion, except for Liao Jundong, Ma Wanzhong is the oldest, and of course he has the right to speak.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, I'm here to accompany you!"

At the dinner table, after everyone reported their troops' invitation, Liao Jundong couldn't help but praise him, and specially praised Zhao Caizhu in front of everyone.

"Everyone eat at will, you should have drunk a celebration wine with everyone after winning the battle, I guess you have already greeted the soldiers in your own headquarters, right?" Liao Jundong said with a smile that alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, but Liao Jundong knows better than Liao Fan the living habits of these officers in the army, they are all rough people, and they know that everyone no longer drinks in the barracks and delays things, so he turns a blind eye, and no one drinks in the military department, so Liao Fan doesn't care much about this aspect of things.

Of course, this time everyone got together, Liao Jundong just wanted to hear the meaning of the next few regiment commanders, usually there is little contact between them, and it is difficult to respond to problems in the headquarters, so this is a good opportunity.

"If you don't say it, I'll have another meeting about the battalion commander and the company commander another day, and there will always be people who have opinions, right? The army is so big, the command may not be able to take care of everything, everyone has an opinion, if the problem comes out one day, I will hold a few of your regiment commanders responsible! ”

Everyone began to discuss the affairs of the troops, and there was no one who interrupted who spoke, because they were not prepared, they could only think of one thing and say one thing, and Liao Jundong firmly wrote down the problem.

"When you come to me, you don't have to hide your armpits, and I won't pursue your life style, but you also know that you still abide by military regulations and military discipline when you come to me, so you can only entertain a few of you heroes of the New 33rd Army with tea instead of wine!"

There are no rules at the wine table when everyone gets together, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, they are all brothers, brothers from all over the world, and they are all shedding blood and sacrificing for this broken country.

Of course, everyone wants to ask Liao Fan's situation, since the rumor spread, there are only a few people who have seen Liao Fan, although the news has not been spread in the army, but as commanders, they want to know whether it is a rumor or not, hoping that Liao Jundong can give them a definite answer, at least they are also prepared.

Seeing that everyone wanted to speak and stopped, Liao Jundong understood what they thought in their hearts, they were all promoted by Liao Fan all the way, it was normal to worry about Liao Fan's safety, if they didn't see Liao Fan for a long time or there was no news of Liao Fan, they would definitely feel that something was missing in their hearts. Liao Jundong also knew that they were impatient and wanted to see Liao Fan, but now was not the time to shake out Liao Fan's news.

"Fighting little devils is for the Chinese people, and it is the responsibility of our soldiers, no matter what happens in the future, we must unswervingly go on this road!"

Liao Jundong did not say anything about Liao Fan at the banquet, whether it was good or bad, but he still gave an order that those who dared to cholera in the army were guilty of fornicating with the Japanese.

The banquet is very simple and simple, during the war, the front is tight and the rear is tight, Taihang Mountain does not want to be in a corner of Chongqing, no matter how tragic the front is in Chongqing, no matter how much land is lost, in some places still reveal extravagance and luxury, and the new 33rd Army tossed for more than two years, Taihang Mountain has made great improvements in education and economy, but it is still not as rich and beautiful as the land south of the Yangtze River.

After eating, Liao Jundong blasted Ma Wanzhong and several of his division-level commanders aside, and sat down with several regiment commanders to do family chores.

Ma Wanzhong and the three of them smiled helplessly, they were not the protagonists of this banquet, so they could only go out for a walk.

"Deputy Division Commander Zhao and Division Commander Liu, this battle is really thanks to you, if it weren't for your support, I'm afraid Jing Cheng would have lost me this time!" The three of them sat down in a gazebo, and Ma Wanzhong thanked the two of them.

Although the focus of the Japanese army in this battle was Datong, the danger of Jingcheng was no worse than that of Datong, and if there was a command error, the Jingcheng area would fall again, and then he would be unable to escape the crime.

"Saying these words, Commander Ma is polite, everyone is a family, and their own brothers will see the outside when they say these words, but then again, their own troops on the position fell to the Japanese army, which really caught people off guard, and the three lines of defense lost two lines of defense in one night, and it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to hold the third line of defense!"

This is not just a traitor's problem, but a whole battalion of soldiers on the defense line defected to the enemy at a critical moment, which not only made the defense line a loophole, but also led to the leakage of the defense plan and morale problems of the troops, no matter who encountered it was very tricky, fortunately the defense line was held in the end, although the casualties of the troops were a bit large, but the casualties of the Japanese army were not small, and achieving such a result was also the result of the soldiers fighting for their lives.

Ma Wanzhong lowered his head, he was also an officer with old seniority in the new 33rd Army, and the fact that there was such a thing as a defection in the army was indeed a thing that made him unable to raise his head.

"When such a thing happened in our division, it is indeed me, the division commander, who has no way to lead the troops, although the command does not intend to pursue it, but the impact of this incident on the troops is particularly bad!" Ma Wanzhong was very depressed when he thought of this, it was the first time in the new 33rd Army to encounter such a large-scale surrender to the enemy, and the command did not pursue it, but he Ma Wanzhong couldn't just forget it, tens of thousands of soldiers could look at him, if he was not severely punished, if the soldiers frequently followed suit in the future, how could the troops be brought?

"What can Master Ma do?"

"The Jingcheng area has been fought like this, and the work of the troops is being restored, and it has not had time to deal with it yet!" Ma Wanzhong said.

"I think this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, although Brother Liao did not pursue it, it does not mean that he does not want a result, the current situation is different, Brother Fan's life and death are uncertain, if the matter ferments again, plus the adverse effects of this matter, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale defection of the New 33rd Army!" Liu Chundao said to Ma Wanzhong.

Now the new 33rd Army seems to be restoring stability and developing in a better direction, but Liao Fan does not wake up for a day, which is a thorn in everyone's hearts, especially Liao Fan's position in the hearts of the soldiers is not something they can replace. If Liao Fan really can't wake up again, the good days of Taihang Mountain and the New 33rd Army will come to an end, and the things they face will no longer be so simple and simple.

At present, the new 33rd Army can still move forward because of the foundation laid by Liao Fan, and when these foundations are exhausted one day, then they will begin to go downhill.

When Ma Wanzhong heard Liu Chundao's words, he immediately felt empowered, although Liao Jundong did not pursue this matter, it does not mean that this matter is over, he does not need to explain anything to Liao Jundong, but he also has to give an explanation to the soldiers and people under his command.

"I understand, when I go back, I will definitely step up this matter!"

"Master Ma, we finally got together, don't think about these unbearable things for the time being, I'll tell you two a good thing, but you promise me that I won't leak a word of what I say to you!" Zhao Caizhu looked at the two and said.

"Good news? What good news can you have? The two of them looked at Zhao Caizhu in confusion.

"Hehe, when I just came out, Brother Liao gave me a look, I guess he planned to let me tell the two of you, but in front of those group leaders, it's inconvenient to say!"

When they came out, Liao Jundong deliberately gave Zhao Caizhu a look, and he concluded that Hu Guoshan must have told Zhao Caizhu about Liao Fan, since this is the case, there is no need to hide it from Ma Wanzhong and Liu Chundao, after all, Li Weimin and Hu Guoshan both know, and it is a bit unreasonable to hide it from the other two division commanders, and there is absolutely no problem with them.
