Hu Guoshan's beating has also come to an end, but the mysterious young man has not been found, and in the end, Liao Fan can't judge where the mysterious young man belongs to.

"The matter is settled, but you can't let your guard down, since they haven't achieved their goal, they will definitely prepare for the next operation!" Liao Fan reminded the officers at all levels of Hu Guoshan's division in the headquarters that not only in Pingding County, but also in the villages below should prevent this kind of thing from happening.

As for the treatment of Hu Guoshan, Liao Fan also posted a notice and asked people to beat twenty military sticks, and finally this matter has ended on the surface.

Now that the matter in Heshun County is over, Zhao Caizhu will also return to Heshun County, after all, the current military operations in Heshun County must be arranged by Zhao Caizhu, Zhao Caizhu has been away for so long, and Heshun County must have a lot to deal with.

"Brother Fan, it's okay for you to go back to the headquarters, just stay with me for two more days and have fun in the city!" Hu Guoshan wanted to keep Liao Fan in Pingding County for two days.

"You think I'm like you, I'm idle to go to the play, and I'm making such a big fuss!" Liao Fan glared at Hu Guoshan.

Hu Guoshan shrunk his neck: "Brother Fan, I will definitely handle these things carefully in the future, and there is that mysterious person, I will definitely catch him with my own hands and send him to the military headquarters!" ”

Liao Fan thought of that mysterious person, and he had a hunch in his heart that this young man should still be in Pingding County, and this young man should not be a little devil.

"Okay, I'll stay here until tomorrow morning, and I'll return to the headquarters tomorrow morning, and you have to listen to the opinions of the people more on local matters, and you can't do everything without permission, remember that now you are not only managing the army!"

After this incident, Hu Guoshan really realized his own shortcomings, and a small thing that happened to ordinary people can make many things different, so Hu Guoshan decided to think about what he wanted to do in the future.

"By the way, there is still more than a month to go before the New Year, arrange the affairs of the troops, if there is time to go back to the garrison for the New Year!"

Liao Fan knows that now there are more and more troops, the defense area is getting bigger and bigger, and the time for everyone to get together is getting less and less, but Liao Fan still hopes that everyone can get together, in addition to the relationship between their superiors and subordinates, they are also comrades-in-arms and friends, and all the friendships that come out of the sea of swords and fires.

That night, Liao Fan slept in Hu Guoshan's headquarters. According to Liao Fan's advice, it is a war now, and once he gets busy, the commander has no way to rest, so prepare a bed for the commander to lie down and rest for a while. Now that the New 33rd Army is not fighting, Liao Fan is sleeping here.

As the weather turned colder, the Japanese army also became much more honest, after all, the cold weather was not suitable for combat, especially in the field in the north, which was easy to cause non-combat attrition.

However, there were no major battles, small frictions often occurred, and on the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, there were some scattered villages, and the two sides occasionally fought in order to fight for the right to actually control the villages. The losses of both sides were split in half, and neither took advantage.

In the past few days, Boss Dai has received a message from Taihang Mountain, which was sent to him by Wang Haoran, and the content of the telegram is just four words, and the action failed!

Wang Haoran should be regarded as Chen Cheng's person, but Dai Li didn't know what means he used to let Wang Haoran join the military command, so when Wang Haoran was serving Chen Cheng, he also secretly provided Dai Li with information about Taihang Mountain.

What happened in Pingding County was planned by Dai Li, because Dai Li saw Chairman Chiang's concern about Taihang Mountain. And Chairman Chiang did not want to use the hands of the Japanese to destroy the New 33rd Army, so he could only attack the prestige of the New 33rd Army behind enemy lines.

Therefore, Dai Li sent an agent to Pingding County to take charge of this matter, and this matter was just a beginning, in order to test Hu Guoshan's ability to deal with things in Pingding County.

Although the operation failed, Dai Li learned that the New 33rd Army did not have the slightest experience in dealing with local affairs, and this news could do a lot of useful things for him in the future.

Chairman Jiang also acquiesced in the incident arranged by Dai Li, but he also warned Dai Li that if the matter was exposed, Dai Li would bear all the consequences, and Chairman Jiang did not know about it, after all, this was a thing that would discourage the people.

Early in the morning, as soon as the sun rose, Liao Fan left Pingding County and headed for Shimen. The weather in the morning was already significantly colder, and after the war horse ran for a while, the exhaled heat was clearly visible.

The rising sun only brings light, but it does not eliminate the cold temperatures. They stopped and stopped along the way, just to enjoy the scenery in this wilderness, and now that this land truly belongs to the Chinese, the little devil can no longer set foot in this place.

When Liao Fan and his party arrived at the stone gate, it was already noon.

Liu Chundao led his troops to help Ma Wanzhong defend in the Jingcheng area, and did not return to Shimen, which was responsible for the defense of Shimenkou with a regiment led by Deputy Division Commander Tian Ziqi.

Tian Ziqi didn't know that Liao Fan Liao Fan would arrive at Shimen at noon today, and when he knew that Liao Fan was about to arrive at the headquarters, he was nibbling on cold steamed buns and looking at some documents.

"Brother Fan is good!" Tian Ziqi saluted Liao Fan.

Liao Fan looked at Tian Ziqi and frowned, then frowned, and took the cold steamed bun in his hand: "Isn't there a hot meal in the cafeteria?" How to eat this! ”

"Brother Fan, after Division Commander Liu left, I will be responsible for the defense of the Shimen area, but I know too little about our new 33rd Army, so I can only work overtime to see more and understand the situation of the troops, so as not to be able to cope with the real emergency when the time comes!" Tian Ziqi said embarrassedly.

The reason why Zhongtiao Mountain was defeated was because Wei Lihuang was replaced by He Yingqin in the battle, which caused He Yingqin to be blind to the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain, and he didn't know which troops were stationed where, which led to the defeat of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Therefore, Tian Ziqi wanted to understand the situation of the new 33rd Army and familiarize himself with this new army as soon as possible, otherwise once the war started, he would repeat the mistakes of Zhongtiao Mountain and cause a repetition of the tragedy.

Liao Fan smiled at Tian Ziqi: "It's really hard for Deputy Division Commander Tian, Deputy Division Commander Tian is from the south, right?" ”

"I'm from Yunnan, and I only went north of the Yangtze River in three or seven years!"

"Most areas in the south eat rice, and when you arrive in Taihang Mountain, most people eat steamed buns, and let you eat cold steamed buns at the headquarters, I can't even look at it as a military commander! That's something I didn't expect as well! ”

For the first time, Liao Fan ignored the need for food supply, and this time they absorbed a lot of soldiers, among whom there was no shortage of southerners, all of whom were accustomed to eating rice.

"Lu Liming, let the cooking squad order two bowls of noodles, in such a cold weather, let Deputy Division Commander Tian eat cold steamed buns, and the soldiers should fight our cold guns in the future!" Liao Fan said to Lu Liming.

"Brother Fan, this can't be ......"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, now the food supply of our new 33rd Army is very sufficient, especially the breeding industry that we are gradually developing!" Liao Fan said to Tian Ziqi, "It's not that I don't save food, in wartime, the soldiers on the battlefield have no conditions to eat well, and now they don't fight, and strive to let everyone eat hot food!" ”

Liao Fan advocated that people are iron and steel, no matter what they do, they must eat enough, and if they have the conditions, they must eat as well as possible, which is the foundation of ensuring the physical fitness of good soldiers.

Only with good physical fitness, fighting on the battlefield can you have an advantage when you are desperate with the little devils.

Soon, two bowls of hot noodles were served in front of Liao Fan and Tian Ziqi, and the two of them sat in the headquarters and began to eat lunch.

"Brother Fan, why did you take the time to come to the stone gate!" Tian Ziqi asked.

"Stop by and take a look, by the way, is there anything you don't understand? I happen to be free right now, you can just ask! I'll be back in command later! Liao Fan knew that Tian Ziqi must still have a stomach full of questions, after all, there are many things that can be learned from the development of the New 33rd Army to the present that can be learned not only through documents.

So the two of them discussed some things in the army while eating, and Liao Fan explained to Tian Ziqi in detail about things that were not too secret, so that he could better understand the troops.

Liao Fan returned to the headquarters that afternoon, and when he arrived at the headquarters, it was completely dark.

"It's so cold, Li Lingfei, won't you get a brazier from the headquarters?" After Liao Fan walked into the headquarters, he complained to Li Lingfei, "Lu Liming hurry up and get a brazier, and also get one next door for you, we are now in Shanxi and there is no shortage of coal!" ”

"Brother Fan, how is the matter in Pingding County?" Li Lingfei didn't seem to hear Liao Fan's complaints, gave Liao Fan a cup of hot water, and then asked about the situation in Pingding County.

"It's been dealt with, hey~ We lack good hands to deal with local government affairs, and now everything has to be done by the troops, which is not a good thing!"

"Brother Fan, we have a lot of students who have come to Taihang Mountain recently, it is better to let them try to do some local things, anyway, there is nothing worse than now, if not, we will transfer them back, if it can work, we will stay!" Li Lingfei suggested.

Liao Fan thought about it carefully, although the order in each county town is very good, but the government affairs are really a mess, just like what happened in Hu Guoshan, please leave it to the local government departments to deal with, and let the army manage it. This is political chaos.

"Okay! Let's give it a try! This matter will be arranged by you, and by the way, they will be assigned a head to be responsible for coordinating things between them, but there is one thing, no matter what happens, the honor of the new 33rd Army must be the mainstay! Liao Fan also made up his final mind, they have to try to do many things by themselves, if they don't do it, they have no experience.

The military is a continuation of politics, but during the war years, the era of the national war of resistance, it can serve the military when it is politically necessary.

"I'll arrange it now!"

The various units have settled down, and it is time for each unit to recruit again, and even Sun Boyong's logistics department is very busy, and more and more ordinary people are coming for the brand of the New 33rd Army.

After the matter was dealt with, of course Liao Fan did not forget to go to the hospital, he and Fu Hongyu had not spoken for nearly two months.

After the headquarters warmed up, Liao Fan left Lu Liming and the others and came to the hospital alone.

Fu Hongyu was on duty in the office, because of the battle some time ago, many wounded people were sent from the hospital, and at this critical time, half of the doctors in the hospital were on duty.

Liao Fan looked at Fu Hongyu who was taking notes in the office through the window, and a sour feeling rose in his heart.

In the end, Liao Fan knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in. The people in the office saw Liao Fan entering, and hurriedly smiled at Liao Fan, and then the two doctors beside Fu Hongyu also stabbed Fu Hongyu with their arms.
