Chapter 913: Everything is being prepared
Liao Fan stayed at Hu Guoshan's headquarters for a period of time, except for the time of the march to the northeast was not agreed, a series of other military operations had been arranged, and there were too many things to prepare for the operation of the large corps, and the Japanese army had made preparations for more than two months in order to attack Changsha!
"We must do a good job in the training of the troops, and don't neglect the training because of our plan!"
Before going to Liu Chundao's side, Liao Fan inspected all the troops under Hu Guoshan, and the last incident left a psychological shadow on Liao Fan, and he had to see the training of the troops with his own eyes to be able to rest assured!
Fortunately, this incident did not affect the infantry, and the infantry in Taihang Mountain were very strict with themselves, all of which were the rules set by Liao Fan at the beginning, the officers set an example, and the soldiers did not dare to be lazy.
What was done on Liu Chundao's side was similar to what Hu Guoshan was doing, but Liao Fan proposed to let the soldiers of an army take the train to prepare to go to the Soviet Union, and the sooner this matter was done, the more appropriate it would be, because in the Soviet Union they would have to receive all the Soviet-style equipment, and they would have to familiarize themselves with all the Soviets' equipment with the help of the Soviets.
"Brother Fan, aren't we becoming mercenaries for the Soviets?" Liu Chundao asked.
"As long as we have a Chinese heart, our troops are everywhere, and I have negotiated with the Soviets, and the command of the troops is still in our hands, but the Soviets will provide us with supplies!"
They entered the territory of the Soviet Union and launched an attack on the Japanese troops entrenched in the northeast, which was tantamount to doing the Soviets a great favor! As long as they launched an attack on the Japanese army in the northeast, the Soviets would definitely be able to transfer troops to the western front to fight the Germans, and the most desired thing for the Soviets was for the Chinese to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the northeast, which would relieve them a lot of pressure.
"I understand Brother Fan!"
"Who do you think is appropriate?" Liao Fan asked.
"He Guoxing! Let him take the troops, he was the old man who followed us all the way, and this is also the officer I can handle the most! Although our national strength is not good, we cannot let the Soviets underestimate the combat effectiveness of our troops when we go to the Soviet Union! ”
Liu Chundao thought that since he was going to the Soviet Union, of course, he couldn't let the Soviets underestimate the strength of their troops, and this time he wanted to fight the little devils and show the combat effectiveness of their troops!
"He Guoxing! Did you ever serve as a battalion commander under Li Weimin before? ”
For most of the officers in the army, although Liao Fan can't remember it completely, he can still know the level of army commander and division commander, after all, these people have experienced the most difficult time together.
"Yes, when Brother Fan asked me to be the regiment commander, our unit lacked officers, and my master supported a battalion commander for me, and he has been following him until now, although his ability is not outstanding among all our troops, he is definitely a relatively good candidate!"
"Hmmm! Let him come to the command, there are some things I want to explain in particular! ”
During the time he was waiting for He Guoxing, Liao Fan discussed the specific details of this operation with Liu Chundao.
"After I transfer this army again, there will only be one and a half veterans left in your group army, and most of them are new recruits! So after going to the Great Khing'an Mountains this time, you must cooperate well with Hu Guoshan, their combat effectiveness is relatively strong, and their equipment is also the best among all our armies, so there is something for the two of you to discuss! ”
Although it was two group armies that were transferred to the Great Xing'an Mountains, Liu Chundao's army was almost a half-crippled, and the recruits accounted for the majority, which greatly affected their combat effectiveness!
"Don't worry, I will definitely discuss it with Lao Hu!" Liu Chundao knew what Liao Fan meant by this, there can only be one commander on the battlefield, and if there are two orders on the battlefield, the troops will be at a loss and don't know which order to execute! Therefore, as long as there is no big problem in Taihang Mountain, he must take Hu Guoshan's order as the standard, which is also to maintain the unity between the troops!
And he doesn't have any opinion on Lao Hu, Hu Guoshan is the oldest batch of officers in Taihang Mountain, with rich combat experience, and there is nothing to say about his ability! Deputy Commander Zhao Caizhu is also very capable, and if things can be discussed, they will naturally have to be discussed.
"It's good that you understand, when the matter on this side of Taihang Mountain is over, Tian Ziqi will also go to the Soviet Union with his troops!" Liao Fan told Liu Chundao about his arrangements for Tian Ziqi and them, which was equivalent to dividing Liu Chundao's troops into two.
"Brother Fan, I understand that I am a soldier, and they are all soldiers, so they must obey orders!"
"Report!"
Just when Liao Fan was discussing things with Liu Chundao, He Guoxing finally came to the headquarters.
"He Guoxing, it's just right!" Liao Fan beckoned He Guoxing to sit down and said, "Liu Chundao, you still give orders, you are his commander!" ”
"Your troops are assembled, ready to go to the Soviet Union, accept the arrangements of the Soviets, and prepare to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the northeast from the Soviet Union!" Liu Chundao pointed to the map and told him about the arrangements for He Guoxing.
"To the Soviet Union?"
"Yes, I went to the Soviet Union, but before you go, I have to explain something!" Liao Fan said to He Guoxing.
Going to the USSR was not an easy task, although a group of them were in Asia, but their thinking was very different from that of the Chinese! After going to the USSR, there are bound to be a lot of disagreements! Moreover, this time they went to the Soviet Union with the logistics provided by the Soviets, which means that the Soviets stuck their necks and felt very comfortable being controlled by others.
"Brother Fan, I understand, if the resistance against Japan fails, and the Soviets are still stuck on the railway, we will go back to China even if we go, and we will never yield to the Soviets!"
The international situation is changing rapidly, at this moment the Soviets need you, they will treat you as an important partner, but once they don't need you, they will do anything for the sake of interests! This time, He Guoxing went to the Soviet Union with his troops to receive equipment and logistics from the Soviets, which seemed to be a good thing, but in fact it was very unfavorable to them.
"There are definitely more difficulties encountered abroad than at home, no matter what, I just need you to remember that you are Chinese!"
No matter how far back they are, as long as they do not forget that they are Chinese, why not fear that there is no home in the world, and the road to go abroad to resist Japan is difficult, but they resolutely go, not because they cannot resist Japan in their own country, but because they hope to end this damned war as quickly as possible, even if it is difficult or in a foreign country, they are still the most heroic fighters to defend this country!
He Guoxing nodded, since the moment Liao Fan chose him, he could only carry out the order, and no matter how many difficulties he encountered, he had to persevere to the end, and he could not take a step back until he had to.
"The day after tomorrow, the troops will assemble, give you three days to Taiyuan Railway Station, someone over there will arrange for you, and when you arrive in the Suiyuan area, General Fu will also let you go!" After arriving in the USSR, I remembered that as long as the command is not handed over, everything will not be a problem! ”
One of the things that Liao Fan was most worried about was that the Soviets would take the opportunity to plant people in their troops, and if He Guoxing did not agree, they would take the opportunity to make things difficult, after all, it was in the Soviet Union, and the tiger fell to Pingyang.
The train whistled, thick black smoke rose from the chimneys, the train sped across the grasslands, and an army of Chinese soldiers stepped into a foreign land, their purpose was very simple, that is, to drive the Japanese from China as soon as possible.
"Brother Fan, He Guoxing sent a telegram, all the personnel have been assembled in the Soviet Union, there are no problems with the troops, the Soviets have begun to equip them, I heard that they are equipped with an artillery division in one army, the Soviets are really generous!"
Liao Fan was looking at the information in the headquarters, and Li Lingfei took a telegram from the Soviet Union to Liao Fan, this is a telegram sent by He Guoxing from the Soviet Union, and now the troops have just settled down.
"Hmm...... I know! Liao Fan was not very happy in his heart, when had the Soviets ever been so generous? Take the Soviet arsenal in Shanxi as an example, if it weren't for Liao Fan's soft grinding and hard bubbles, how could they give so many weapons, and these weapons are all resources mined in China! Although the technology is theirs, it is only technology.
"Brother Fan, what's wrong with you?"
"Not much! There is no need to reply to them by telegram, before leaving, everything that should be said to He Guoxing has already been said, and we can't help much when he is in a foreign country! Send a telegram to Ma Wanzhong and ask how they are doing! ”
"Okay, I'll go and ask!"
In the northeast around the Mawanzhong Division, as long as the Japanese army is still deployed around the mountain, but the Japanese army has gradually become unable to control the situation around the mountain! Although Ma Wanzhong's troops were small in number, they attacked many times, knocking out the Japanese strongholds that should be knocked out, and burning everything that should be burned!
At the beginning, they took refuge in Ma Wanzhong, and their two weakest strands followed Ma Wanzhong and their buttocks to drink soup, and their equipment was changed, and they were all replaced with the equipment of the little devils, and in just three months, they became the strongest two strands.
The other locks saw that the two locks who were usually bullied by them suddenly became the most powerful among them, and they were also anxious, and they all expressed their willingness to cooperate with Ma Wanzhong and them!
Of course, Ma Wanzhong is also happy, because he still has to rely on these locks, after all, dogs have dogs, cats have cats, and there are more ways for bandits in this mountain than theirs, and these bandits have been entrenched here for many years, there must be many ways that Ma Wanzhong can't think of!
Because Ma Wanzhong is getting more and more fierce in the mountains, the little devils put their energy on Ma Wanzhong, but the troops sent by Ma Wanzhong to various counties and towns took advantage of the little devils' energy in the mountains, they actively publicized and recruited, and the soldiers were quickly replenished, the only drawback is that the quality of the soldiers is uneven, after all, they have no formal training places in the troops behind enemy lines, and they have to avoid being discovered by the little devils, so their training time is very short.
