Chapter 388: A Battle Meeting
Chu Pengtian shook his head in frustration, if he had figured it out, he would have gone out a long time ago, why did he stay in this place, and there was no one to talk to, there was still a cellmate in the prison, except for the soldiers who brought him food every day in the confinement room, Chu Pengtian couldn't see anyone at all.
"Actually, your business is not a big deal!" Lu Liming crossed Erlang's legs and began the education of veterans for recruits.
"Big deal? It's not a big deal that I've been locked up here for so long, and I haven't seen anyone else locked in. Chu Pengtian looked at Lu Liming and said, "Did Brother Fan tell you something?" Why are you so kind to come to see me today? ”
"Brother Fan didn't have the leisure to say anything to me, recently the little devil has gathered more than 100,000 troops to attack Taihang Mountain, Brother Fan is thinking of a way, he kicked me out of the command headquarters, I'm bored to come and see you!" Lu Liming said to Chu Pengtian absentmindedly.
Hearing that Liao Fan hadn't mentioned him recently, Chu Pengtian was a little disappointed, and said excitedly: "Maybe Brother Fan forgot about me a long time ago!" Tell me about Brother Fan, I want to know how he got to where he is today. ”
Lu Liming smiled lightly, as if he had expected Chu Pengtian to say this.
"Actually, Brother Fan hasn't done anything special along the way, but there is one thing that we admire the most......"
Lu Liming recalled that when their regiment was just taken over by Liao Fan, Liao Fan ordered the troops to go out to recruit soldiers, but the recruitment turned into catching strong men, so Liao Fan was whipped in front of everyone, which really shocked the old soldiers who had followed Liao Fan.
The story is not long, but the listener is thoughtful. Lu Liming left the confinement room, but Chu Pengtian didn't notice Lu Liming's departure, just sat on the bed and thought about Liao Fan's story.
That night, the four regiment commanders came to the division headquarters noisily, of course, the main two people who quarreled were Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong.
"If you don't listen to the orders of your superiors on the battlefield, see how I go to complain to Brother Fan!" When retreating from Yaorengou, Hu Guoshan did not listen to the order and stayed with the three regiments, which made Ma Wanzhong very annoyed.
"If you have the ability, you can sue, if the artillery battalion didn't arrive in time, it is not certain whether Lao Tzu can survive, I am afraid that you will go to Brother Fan to sue!" Hu Guoshan did not show the slightest weakness, because he knew that Ma Wanzhong would not report these small things to Liao Fan.
"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel, if you enter the headquarters, Brother Fan still hears you arguing, it is estimated that it will be the same as last time, you are being scolded." Li Weimin said in a round game.
The two of them glanced at Li Weimin meaningfully, and then they both obediently closed their mouths, the last time they came to the headquarters, they were inexplicably reprimanded by Liao Fan, so that Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan didn't dare to gasp.
"Brother Fan is waiting for you inside, Brother Fan hasn't rested well in the past few days, so you should understand!" **Fei heard the noise outside the command headquarters and knew that the four regiment commanders were coming, so he hurriedly greeted him, as the only staff officer of the independent 33rd Division, he had to have a good relationship with the four regiment commanders first.
"You're not that ......" Ma Wanzhong looked at ** Fei with familiar eyes, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, after all, he had only met once, and he had never seen him again.
**Fei hurriedly saluted the four regiment commanders, his current military rank is captain: "Hello regiment commanders, the staff officer of the 33rd Independent Division**Fei report!" ”
"I remember, I saw you last time I rescued prisoners of war, but I didn't expect to become a staff officer, yes!" Ma Wanzhong patted his head and said.
Fei smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Fan, you can afford me, you will stay in the division headquarters in the future, and please take care of the four regiment commanders!" ”
"It turns out that the division headquarters has a new staff officer, this time Brother Fan should not have the idea of beating a few of our regiments!" Hu Guoshan said with a smile that he was most worried that his deputy commander Zhao Caizhu would be transferred to the division headquarters by Liao Fan, so Hu Guoshan was on guard all the time, and now that **Fei is the staff officer of the division headquarters, Liao Fan will definitely let Zhao Caizhu go.
The other three regiment leaders shook their heads helplessly, knowing the small abacus in Hu Guoshan's heart.
"The four heads of the regiment are invited inside, Brother Fan is still waiting for you inside." **Fei didn't want to continue the topic of his promotion to the staff officer of the division headquarters, and hurriedly invited the four regiment commanders into the headquarters.
After the four people entered the headquarters, they sat at the conference table, and at this time Liao Fan was looking at the map on his desk, and he didn't notice that the four regiment commanders had arrived at the headquarters.
"Brother Fan, the four regiment leaders have arrived, is it possible to have a meeting now?" Ten minutes later, **Fei reminded Liao Fan.
Liao Fan raised his head, only to find that the four regiment commanders were sitting quietly at the conference table, and only then did he remember that he had to discuss the next battle plan with the four regiment commanders today.
"How can it be so quiet this time, every time Lao Hu comes to the headquarters, he is noisy, no wonder he didn't find you entering the headquarters!" Liao Fan also made it to the front of the headquarters with a tea cup.
Hu Guoshan smiled awkwardly: "Brother Fan, didn't you criticize us last time?" That's why I didn't dare to speak out loud this time! ”
"Okay, the progress is very fast, **Fei, you can also sit down!" Liao Fan beckoned to ** Fei to find a place to sit down, "By the way, what about my brother?" ”
"Brother Fan, Brother Liao didn't receive a notice!" ** Fei, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up and reported.
"Sit down, just raise your hand to answer something in the future, you don't have to stand up, there are not many rules for us to sit together."
Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan glanced at each other, their faces were embarrassed, they understood Liao Fan, Liao Fan's words are only suitable for people who consciously talk about the rules, for the two of them, there are rules everywhere in the headquarters, including the sitting posture, and the placement of military hats must be strictly in accordance with Liao Fan's orders.
"Old Lu, go and call my brother!"
Several people sat in the command headquarters, just looking at Liao Fan quietly, since the lesson of the last time, Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong no longer dared to quarrel.
"My brother, I haven't come yet, tell me how your four regiments are doing recently!" Liao Fan said.
After the great battle in Jindong, of course, the troops had losses, the losses were as much as a regiment, with more than 2,000 casualties, and the casualties were few, and the second regiment also killed more than 1,000 people in the battle, but this time the prisoners were rescued, and new soldiers were added to each regiment in time, and in addition to the regiments and their own trained recruits, the troops were almost not reduced.
In this battle, Liu Chundao's four regiments had a great advantage, when they fought in Jindong, they only participated in the battle later, and the loss of troops was not much, this time they rescued a lot of prisoners, according to the results of the discussion between the four regiment commanders before the war, the rescued prisoners of war were evenly distributed, so the four regiments were divided into more than 1,000 combat strength, and these soldiers were all veterans, and the number of the four regiments was almost 4,000 people.
Of course, Li Weimin's second regiment was not bad, in the early stage of the Jindong battle, a large number of war horses were captured, and Li Weimin was preparing to come to a cavalry battalion of more than 1,000 people in the fourth regiment.
"Xiao Lizi, you can't enjoy such a good thing exclusively, Brother Fan doesn't even have a cavalry company under his hands, your four regiments want to form a cavalry regiment, where will Brother Fan's face be put in the future!" After Hu Guoshan heard Li Weimin's report, his heart became unbalanced, everyone knew that the two main forces of the 33rd Independent Division were the first regiment and the third regiment, and according to the recent development, the third regiment obviously had a tendency to overwhelm the first regiment, but he did not expect that Li Weimin's second regiment would create a cavalry regiment.
"Lao Hu, the second brother of the family is a war horse captured by his own ability, and your regiment has also distributed dozens of war horses from the second regiment, don't be jealous of the second one!" Ma Wanzhong looked at Hu Guoshan and said with a smile.
Of course, Liao Fan knows the importance of war horses now, although the cavalry will withdraw from the battlefield in the future, but today China and the little devils lack sufficient armor and equipment, and the cavalry still has a great advantage on the battlefield, especially Liao Fan decided to go north to find a breakthrough in the independent 33rd Division, Suiyuan and Mongolia are grasslands, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry should not be underestimated.
After Li Weimin reported the situation to Liao Fan, he waited for Liao Fan's order, the second regiment now has a cavalry battalion, nearly 600 cavalry, plus the horse equipment just captured, enough for them to equip another 1,000 people, as long as the training is completed, the second regiment will have 1,600 cavalry, which is indeed comparable to a cavalry regiment, and the division headquarters can't even make up a cavalry company, he wants to build a cavalry regiment in one regiment, where can this be said in the past, so Li Weimin waited for Liao Fan's order to hand over the captured war horses at any time.
"The division headquarters can't get together so many people to build a cavalry regiment, since Li Weimin has a cavalry battalion, he has some experience in this area, and the horses and equipment captured by the second regiment will be left in the second regiment, but I also plan to form a cavalry company of my uncle recently, so I also hope that you Li Weimin will provide more support, so I will temporarily divide two hundred cavalry equipment from you and send it to the headquarters." Liao Fan thought about it and said.
Hearing Liao Fan's decision, Li Weimin smiled happily at Hu Guoshan. Hu Guoshan pursed his lips, of course he wouldn't really be jealous of Li Weimin, after all, they all belonged to the 33rd Independent Division, and they were all their own brothers.
As soon as the matter of the cavalry was discussed, Liao Jundong came to the command headquarters, and several people stood up to salute Liao Jundong, although the four regiment commanders were about the same rank as Liao Jundong, but they still respected Liao Jundong very much, not just because Liao Jundong was Liao Fan's eldest brother.
From what happened in Chongqing to last night's support, what Liao Jundong did was enough to convince them.
"Let me introduce you first, ** Fei, now he is the staff officer of the division headquarters, and he will assist me in my work in the future, so he will participate in future combat meetings, and you can't suppress newcomers!" Liao Fan first introduced ** Fei.
Liao Jundong is already very familiar with ** Fei, as for a few regiment commanders, they may have heard of it, but today is a formal acquaintance, of course, I will greet him.
"Okay, let's have a meeting next, and tonight we will focus on how to deal with the 100,000 army of Gangcun Ningci!"
