Li Lingfei knew that the time had come for them to separate, the new 33rd Army was getting stronger and stronger, and they had less and less time to get together. But Li Lingfei is not sad, what he chose at the beginning was the New 33rd Army, just so that the New 33rd Army will become strong one day, instead of always nesting in the ravines and ravines, fighting guerrillas all day long.

"How many troops should be left in Taiyuan?" Li Lingfei knew that Liao Fan had no choice left, he had to go to Taiyuan, but Taiyuan's troops could not be too small, in case of a sudden change, they must have enough troops to deal with emergencies.

"Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui army is not as effective as the third-rate troops of the little devils, but the number of their army is huge, plus the surrounding Central Army and the Dian Army, our troops in Taiyuan cannot be less than five thousand people, that is, at least two regiments of troops! Liu Chundao's troops will not leave Shanxi for the time being, and let him be in charge of all the defense in the Shanxi defense area! ”

The two regiments are enough to deal with the situation around Taiyuan, and if they really have a conflict with the people of the country, the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan City will definitely not stand idly by.

"Okay, I'll leave for Taiyuan early tomorrow morning!"

"Hmm...... Tell Shen Zhengwen and let him go with him, it is beneficial for him to go to Taiyuan, and there are some things you can discuss, but you must not engage in a word, one person has the final say in the military, but if one person has the final say in other aspects, it is easy to have problems, the situation in Taiyuan City is complicated, and it is easy to cause people's hearts to fluctuate! You know what to do! ”

During the war years, the competition was for the hearts of the people, but the people's hearts would not be biased to the other side because of the victory or defeat of a battle, and what the people hoped for was to live a down-to-earth life and stay away from the war.

"Brother Fan, why don't you transfer the Inch staff officer back, now that the situation in Shanxi has stabilized, it is a bit inappropriate for the Inch staff officer to stay in Shanyin!" Li Lingfei suggested that Cun Qi be transferred back, at least Liao Fan should leave someone by his side to help.

"It's okay, just transfer all the inches back, the situation over there is also arranged by Liu Chundao, and as for the troops in Shanyin City, they will all be handed over to Li Weimin!"

Liao Fan has decided to hand over the entire defense of Shanxi to Liu Chundao to arrange, and as for other things, Li Weimin does not need to manage them.

For Liao Fan, as long as no one makes trouble, Shanxi's form can be said to be a great one. Shanxi's resources can provide him with a guarantee for his eastward advance, and as long as there are no worries, the days of completely driving the Japanese army out should not be too long.

The commander of the guard regiment was once again taken over by Cun Qi, and after strict training, Liao Fan's guard regiment only left more than 2,000 people, and the rest were divided into the units below.

Due to the rapid expansion of the new 33rd Army in the previous period, the troops are in full swing training new recruits.

Although the Japanese army abandoned Shanxi, their fleeing soldiers carried a large amount of gold and silver from Shanxi. In North China, Okamura Ninji took over as the supreme commander of the Japanese army, and was responsible for all important military and political affairs in North China.

Okamura Ninji's most important purpose in taking over North China was to completely eliminate the New 33rd Army and the Chinese guerrillas who insisted on fighting them in North China. In order to fight against the new 33rd Army, Gangcun Ningci specially transferred three divisions from the four eastern provinces and Pingjin to the Hebei and Suiyuan (Chahar) areas.

Although Liao Fan could not monitor every move of the Japanese army, Liao Fan did not leave behind any of the affairs of the Japanese army, including the Japanese army being deployed.

"Recently, there have been more and more conflicts between us and the Japanese army!" Cun Qi took the report and put it on Liao Fan's desk, "This month is the fourth battle above the regimental level!" ”

"It's normal to have conflicts, it's not normal if both sides are at peace, the little devils are testing us, and we also want to know the depth of the little devils!"

At the military junction of the two sides, there is a battle breaking out, this is the most normal thing, Liao Fan is not worried about anything, it is enough to have Li Weimin and Ma Wanzhong to defend! If the little devil really launched a large-scale attack, Liao Fan just didn't have the extra troops to launch a sufficient counterattack.

"Send a telegram to Hu Guoshan and ask them to hurry up and train the troops! And the intelligence that let the special operations brigade go out to reconnoiter the Japanese army! All the information, including how many times a day Ninji Okamura goes to the toilet! ”

Okamura Ninji is a respectable opponent, if he didn't fight on two fronts last time, and he happened to encounter heavy rain that caused logistical supply difficulties for the troops, maybe the Fifth Theater would have changed its name and surname to Ri by now. Liao Fan had to be careful about Okamura Ningci's arrangement, after all, Hebei was a plain all the way, and there was no mountain barrier, and such a terrain was very unfavorable for the New 33rd Army.

"I heard that the Kwantung Army of the Japanese army is a division regiment?" Cun Qi was originally the division commander of the Dian Army, and they had never fought against the Kwantung Army.

"Not really, the Japanese originally wanted to use the Kwantung Army to deal with the Soviets, since the Nomenkan, the Japanese army no longer had the idea of going north, but they were also afraid that the Soviets would suddenly attack, so they had to deploy elite troops just in case!"

Although Liao Fan said this, he had to admit that the Kwantung Army was definitely elite according to what he knew, and it was indeed difficult to deal with, but Liao Fan didn't want to show it in front of anyone, after all, he was the highest military commander of the New 33rd Army, and he felt that it was tricky, and the soldiers below definitely had no confidence.

"All the directly subordinate units are also seizing the time to train, and they can also go to the battlefield at any time!"

"It's too early to talk about this, and the Japanese army also needs time to prepare! Winter is coming soon, and if you encounter heavy snow blocking the mountain, it will be bad for the little devils! "Ninji Gangmura has already suffered in terms of weather, and he will definitely not make the same mistake again.

"And what do we need to prepare?" Cunqi asked.

"Old inch! Why do you look more nervous than I am? Liao Fan looked at Cun Qi's appearance, and it seemed that Cun Qi cared a lot about winning or losing this battle.

Cun Qi was suddenly stunned, he was really nervous: "I don't know, I always feel unstable in my heart!" It's like something big is going to happen! ”

Liao Fan frowned, Cun Qi is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he has also gone back and forth in the Hades Palace, no matter how big the battle is, he will not be nervous, but this time he is nervous.

"I'll give you a day off, and tomorrow you have a good rest, maybe the headquarters is too busy these days!"

Cun Qi left the command headquarters, but Liao Fan did not relax, although the big battle can not rely on feeling, but Liao Fan believes in intuition, veterans who have survived from the battlefield have their own unique skills or talents, just like the last time to suppress bandits, a veteran can detect whether there is a living person within a hundred meters in the dark night. The intuition of generals coming down from the battlefield is very important, they are like a police dog, able to smell dangers that humans are not aware of.

"It seems that you can't be careless, you have to be completely prepared!"

Although Liao Fan didn't know what was wrong, he believed in the intuition of a battle-hardened veteran, and perhaps it was also experience. However, now Liao Fan has no practical solution.

The war between the two countries is attrition of national strength, of course, with the trend of the development of this war, the Japanese army will not be exhausted in a short time, after all, they now occupy the vast Chinese land and plunder a lot of resources.

couldn't think of a good way, and Liao Fan didn't want to be bored in the headquarters, so he decided to go out for a walk. Since he was injured and hospitalized, Liao Fan has not appeared in the field of vision of the fighters for a long time.

Walking on the way to the station, the soldiers all saluted Liao Fan, and Liao Fan also happily returned the salute. Liao Fan's first stop was the arsenal in Taihang Mountain, now Taihang Mountain has its own arsenal, and a large number of machinery and equipment have been transported back from Taiyuan, Du Weize is happy to see these equipment like marrying a new daughter-in-law, studying in the factory with workers all day long.

"Brother Fan, our factory director is inside!" A worker shows Liao Fan the way.

"Okay, you're busy, I'll just go over by myself!"

At this time, Du Weize was taking a few workers to overhaul the machine in the factory, he was the director of the arsenal, and he was also a worker in the arsenal.

"Director Du, Director Du!" As soon as Liao Fan bought the workshop, a strong and pungent smell of diesel came to his face.

When the workers in the factory saw that Liao Fan was coming, they all greeted Liao Fan: "Where is Director Du?" ”

"Our factory director Du is waiting for the workers to repair the machine over there!" The worker pointed to machine two, where a dozen workers were around.

"Brother Fan, you're here!"

Liao Fan walked over to take a look, and at this time, someone appeared in front of Liao Fan to greet Liao Fan.

"Wow! You're coming out and scaring me! What about your factory director? ”

The person in front of him was covered in oil, just like a black man from Africa, who suddenly got in front of Liao Fan, which made Liao Fan startled.

"Are you...... Prevent...... Du Weize? Liao Fan fixed his eyes and saw that the "black man" was a bit like Du Weize, "Old Du, why did you make it like this?" ”

"Brother Fan, why are you here? Why don't you notify me, yesterday the machine was broken, checked overnight, this has just been repaired! Du Weize spread his hands full of oil in front of Liao Fan.

"This is not a good place to talk, wash up and clean clothes, let's go to your office and talk!" Liao Fan said to Du Weize.

"Brother Fan, I'd better not wash it, there will be a machine to check in a while, and it will definitely get dirty later!"

"That's okay, if you don't get busy first, I'll go to the logistics department first, and you come to the headquarters in the evening, and I'll invite you to dinner!" Liao Fan thought about it, anyway, he has time now.

After Liao Fan left, the workers in the factory were all talking: "Didn't you say that Brother Fan died?" ”

"What nonsense do you listen to with hemorrhoids on his mouth? Brother Fan is obviously commanding the battle on the front line, but he just doesn't have time to come back! ”

Since Liao Fan was discharged from the hospital, Liao Fan has been staying in the headquarters, and many people are still confused about whether Liao Fan is alive or dead, but now that they see Liao Fan, the haze in their hearts has disappeared. Everything is a rumor!
