Chapter 908: It's okay to turn a corner
"So what do you want to do? Do you plan to let your child be born without a father? Let me tell you Huang Changsheng, you will stay honest in Taihang Mountain for me, if you don't obey the order, you won't lead the troops in the future! ”
Huang Changsheng followed him all the way to the present, he has done enough things, and now there is no need for Huang Changsheng to take risks, the people below will definitely be able to do things well! The old men who followed them all the way no longer had to go to the battlefield to do risky things, what they had to do was not to charge with guns, but to command the troops to charge.
Huang Changsheng glanced at Liao Fan and didn't speak again! When they came down from the Songhu battlefield, there were not many people around them, after so many battles, most of the survivors had already held important positions in the Taihang Mountain troops, and some even became division commanders, like Huang Changsheng, who had such a special position, even if they did not go to the battlefield, no one would gossip.
After a day's time, Liu Chundao hurried to the Taihang Mountain Headquarters! Now that their defense area is far away from Taihang Mountain, the time to go back and forth naturally is also long, if there is a large-scale combat meeting, Liao Fan must notify them one day in advance.
"Brother Fan, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
On the road, because of the problem of the car, Liu Chundao was delayed for some time.
"You still have plenty of time, have you eaten?"
"Not yet! I thought I would be able to catch lunch when I arrived at the headquarters, but I didn't expect the broken car to delay time! ”
"Lao Huai, let the cooking class make a bowl of noodles! Things are not in a hurry, we will talk about it when we are full! ”
Liao Fan beckoned Liu Chundao to sit down, this time the matter is not big, it is not small, if it is not arranged, it may affect the overall combat effectiveness of Liu Chundao's troops!
"Brother Fan, what do you say, just give an order, I promise not to discount!"
Liu Chundao has never come to the headquarters for a meeting alone, in the past, there was a combat order, and everyone came to the headquarters for a meeting together, but now he was suddenly called back by Liao Fan, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"This time the scope of the matter is relatively large, but I still need you to keep it secret, which means that the matter is very difficult!"
The exchange of 50,000 soldiers is really not a trivial matter, they can keep it secret when they are exchanged, but it is really a bit difficult to do it after the exchange, and it will not be discovered, but this time it depends on Liu Chundao.
"Brother Fan, even if you give the order, I promise to complete the task!" Liu Chundao had almost guessed that things would not be very simple, otherwise Liao Fan would not have called him back for a meeting alone.
"You know about the soldiers we trained some time ago, right?" Liao Fan asked Liu Chundao.
"I heard that the 100,000 recruits we have trained are preparing for the war in the Northeast, are we going to the Northeast?"
Even the little devils know about the training of 100,000 recruits in Taihang Mountain, and it is impossible for Liu Chundao not to know.
"Actually...... We trained 150,000 recruits! Liao Fan told Liu Chundao that in fact, they were training 150,000 recruits, not 100,000 recruits.
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
"That's right! One hundred and fifty thousand! Fifty thousand of them were scattered for secret training! Liao Fan told Liu Chundao the actual situation, "In this operation, we have two goals, one target is the northeast, yes, and 50,000 secretly trained recruits are for the second goal!" ”
"Brother Fan, you just give the order, our warriors will never frown when they go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire!"
Until now, no one except Liao Fan knew what their second goal was, and Liao Fan would only prepare for the second purpose when their troops headed for the northeast.
"It's not that serious, this time I want to exchange troops with you, that is to say, exchange 50,000 recruits for 50,000 veterans in your hands! The scale of this exchange of soldiers is relatively large, which may affect your combat effectiveness! ”
50,000 troops is not a small number, and one-third of Liu Chundao's troops have been replaced at once, and they will have a large-scale battle in the near future.
"Brother Fan...... This ......"
Liu Chundao also began to hesitate, if it was changed to peacetime, let alone 50,000, he would have no opinion on changing all his troops, but now that the big war is imminent, and the troops are suddenly replaced, if he does not master the measures well, it is likely that there will be a chain reaction.
"If there's any problem, just mention it!" Liao Fan knew that this matter was not a trivial matter.
"The question of the officer, does the exchange of soldiers need to replace the officer? There is also the fact that officers need to get acquainted with their new members, and recruits also need time to get acquainted with their officers......"
Liu Chundao's only concern was the problem of the officers and the problem of time, if the soldiers under the officers were replaced with new recruits, and the officers were not familiar with their own soldiers, it would be a big problem among the troops, and it would take a long time to get acquainted with it.
"I have already arranged for you the junior officers among the recruits, these officers are also old officers, there is no problem with the command ability, what you need to arrange is the position above the battalion commander! The main thing is that you have to get acquainted with these recruits as soon as possible, and also let them show their combat effectiveness on the battlefield! ”
In fact, the change of troops does not put much pressure on the grassroots officers, but the pressure on Liu Chundao is the greatest, because he is the supreme commander, and this unit will be commanded by him!
"Can I bring back a copy of the officer's information?" Liu Chundao asked.
"Of course you can, but this matter must be kept absolutely secret, and the scale of the exchange of soldiers cannot be changed at one time, it needs to be exchanged on a small scale many times!"
If you want to keep it secret when exchanging soldiers, you can only make small-scale exchanges, using ants to move.
"But it's delaying the time!" What Liu Chundao needs most is time to familiarize himself with the troops, and if he adopts the method of ants moving, it is tantamount to delaying time.
"Yes, it's a waste of time, but didn't you ask for information?"
"Brother Fan, don't joke with me, even those platoon commanders' materials are stacked up with a table so thick, I can't read them all, if you want to really understand them, it's better to gather them together and talk about them, it's best!"
"Don't worry, I'll give you plenty of time!" Liao Fan wasn't sure if he had given Liu Chundao enough time.
When Liu Chundao heard Liao Fan's words, his heart was even more bottomless, but there was no way but to do it.
"Also, let your partner Tian Ziqi come with the troops, and when the time comes, the new recruits and veterans will be under your command!"
After this battle, Liao Fan didn't plan to ask the recruits back, after this battle, Liu Chundao must be familiar with these troops, and it would not be good to make adjustments at that time.
"Brother Fan, that's what you said! Shao Guangqi, hurry! Come with that pen, let Brother Fan draw a charge! When Liu Chundao heard that the veterans and recruits belonged to him, he immediately grabbed Liao Fan and asked him to sign and draw the pledge.
"Is this still a matter of detention? Does it matter if I say it? ”
"Okay, I'll make sure to arrange the secrecy work when I go back!"
"It's mainly a secret work to the outside world, we can know it ourselves, but we must not let the little devil know about this incident!" Liao Fan's second purpose was never told to anyone, but he was worried that Okamura Ningji would be able to guess his purpose, once he saw through his plan, the little devil would not take the bait, and Liao Fan and their hopes could only be pinned on the Northeast.
"Don't worry, when the recruits arrive, I will agree to make centralized arrangements for them, and I will also train them, and they will definitely not have the time and energy to talk about this matter when the time comes!"
The training of recruits is very hard, especially during the run-in with veterans, veterans' physical fitness and endurance are very high, a 20-kilometer cross-country run, can let recruits know what the gap is!
"I'll leave the rest to you, when you go back, let Tian Ziqi report to me, he is the deputy commander-in-chief, and he is also familiar with your troops, if you arrange a new commander for them, I'm afraid you will need to change a lot of things!"
Tian Ziqi has also been Liu Chundao's deputy for so long, and since Liu Chundao became the commander, he has become the deputy commander, and he can be regarded as Liu Chundao's good helper.
"Brother Fan, you said that this time you have replaced so many of our troops, and they are all veterans, do you want to stop supporting us with some weapons?" Liu Chundao grinded in front of Liao Fan.
"Rob while it's hot, huh? Isn't it enough to give you 50,000 troops? That's the strength of two armies, what more do you want! It's okay to ask for weapons, and when the battle is over, these troops will become a force of their own, and they will not be under the command of you Liu Chundao! ”
"Gotcha! Brother Fan, I still want my soldiers, I'm worried that I won't be able to get a weapon with them! ”
"Let me ask you one more thing, your troops should have five hundred tanks by now, right? How's their combat power? ”
"Brother Fan, you really came here with your mouth open, where did you get the five hundred, our division has four hundred tanks, and three of them were broken last month, and they were transported back to Shanxi to be repaired!"
The tanks produced from the arsenal of the Soviets in Shanxi were all sent to the troops, and of course Lu Liming's armored army group took the lion's share! But Liao Fan still hopes that all units will have some tanks in their hands for emergency troops, and if they encounter Japanese armored troops, they can't just rely on the soldiers to destroy the Japanese tanks with their lives. War is to protect themselves, defeat the enemy, and use good weapons to protect themselves, which is their consistent style in Taihang Mountain.
"No matter how many, even if it's just one tank, I'll ask you how your training is?"
"Of course, there is no problem with training, forward, backward, turning, ......"
"Liu Chundao, don't tell me, it's been so long, and the soldiers just know how to drive tanks!" Liao Fan couldn't believe Liu Chundao's answer.
"Of course not, it will turn the turret and aim at the target to fire!"
"It's a personal would! I'm asking you about infantry coordination, tank charge formations, and tank coordination battles! Liao Fan couldn't believe that they had commanded these most basic operations for so long.
