Ma Wanzhong didn't know what Liao Fan was having, so he glanced at Lao Hu and wanted to ask Lao Hu's opinion.

"Why are you still stunned, go and gather the troops." Liao Fan saw Ma Wanzhong standing motionless in place, and was anxious.

"Brother Fan, the agreement we just signed does not allow you to act alone." Old nonsense.

"Bullshit, what is written in the agreement is that I can't leave the station alone, this time Lao Tzu brought a company of troops, and it is called acting alone?" Liao Fan had already thought of countermeasures before signing, otherwise he would not have signed so happily.

"Brother Fan, you can't be such a scoundrel, in black and white, and there are those who don't admit it." Ma Wanzhong wanted to take out the agreement signed by Liao Fan.

"I'm really in a hurry this time, or you should ask about the singing." Liao Fan said impatiently.

"Old Sun, what's going on?" Ma Wanzhong also wondered why Sun Boyong came back so soon.

Sun Boyong told the matter again from beginning to end.

"I understand, if you can solve it, I'm not happy to go." Liao Fan said.

"Brother Fan, I'm going to gather the troops, is one company of brothers enough?" Ma Wanzhong asked.

Liao Fan explained the matter to Lao Hu and asked him to sit in the command headquarters and manage all the affairs of the troops. Liao Fan and Sun Boyong came to the mountain pass together, waiting for Ma Wanzhong to bring the troops and set off at any time.

When Fu Hongyu came out of the laboratory, she didn't see Liao Fan, only Liu Chunjian was waiting at the door: "What about you Brother Fan?" ”

"Sister Hongyu, Brother Fan asked me to tell you that he is in a hurry to return to the headquarters in advance, let me take you back." Liu Chunjian said.

"Oh, can I go to your headquarters?" Fu Hongyu was also curious about Liao Fan's headquarters.

"Absolutely!" Usually, Liao Fan's command is open to the outside world, as long as there are people in the team, they can enter the command to visit, but Liao Fan's soldiers are very well-behaved, and they are usually busy with training, and few people go to Liao Fan's headquarters.

"Take me to your headquarters, I'll wait for him there."

By the time Fu Hongyu came to Liao Fan's headquarters, Liao Fan had already come out. Liu Chunjian saw that there was only Lao Hu in the headquarters: "Brother Hu, what about Brother Fan?" ”

"Ruby girl, come in and sit." Lao Hu saw Fu Hongyu following Liu Chunjian and knew that she was here to find Liao Fan.

"May I ask where Liao Fan went?" Fu Hongyu looked inside the circle headquarters and did not find Liao Fan.

"Brother Fan, I just left, I have an important task, I need him to go in person, and I will take care of you before leaving." Lao Hu said, "If only you told me something directly, I would definitely help you." ”

"No, I'd like to wander around the station." Since Liao Fan is not here, Fu Hongyu can't just wander around, so she can only go back.

"Okay, Chunjian, you follow Miss Fu, if you need anything, just say it." Lao Hu told Liu Chunjian to take care of Fu Hongyu.

Fu Hongyu actually didn't have anything important, in the entire station, except for Brother Wang and Xiao Zhou, the only person he was most familiar with was Liao Fan, but Brother Wang and Xiao Zhou were training, and the children didn't need him to take care of them now, Liao Fan had already appointed a special warrior to take care of them.

Fu Hongyu has a rare opportunity to shop around, if she is in the county seat, she is still running around to solve the food and clothing of herself and her children, and now the children don't have to worry about themselves. It was quiet for a while, but it just made Fu Hongyu feel unaccustomed.

Liao Fan led a battalion of seven companies, non-stop to the goal, according to the information provided by Sun Boyong, Liao Fan preliminarily judged that what they found may be a machine tool for the production of rifles. But what will fall into the hands of bandits, Liao Fan doesn't know. Before the Japanese invasion of China, the forces in the Taihang Mountains area were complex, and almost all forces had their own ways of survival.

After an afternoon of running, Liao Fan and they arrived at their destination in the early hours of the morning, Liao Fan did not order the troops to meet the soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave, but let the troops choose a small hill to rest behind, and wait for dawn to make plans.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is not destined to be a calm night. After an afternoon of running, except for the soldiers who were on guard, only Liao Fan and a few veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time did not fall asleep, and the veterans who had experienced life and death were the most sensitive to this environment, and they smelled a trace of danger in the air.

"Brother Fan, are you asleep?" A veteran squad leader quietly touched Liao Fan's side, and he deliberately lowered his voice, not knowing whether he was worried about waking up the brothers around him, or afraid of attracting the attention of others.

"Not yet, what's wrong?" Liao Fan heard the veteran call him.

"Brother Fan, I feel that something is wrong around me, as if there is an enemy." The veteran squad leader said what was in his heart.

"Can you determine which direction the enemy is?" When Liao Fan arrived at this place, he had been beating drums in his heart, so he let the troops rest here and did not meet the soldiers stationed there.

"Not sure, but it feels weird, as if they arrived in the middle of the night, and we may have gotten into the enemy's encirclement." The instinct of the veteran squad leader told him that there must be an enemy around, but he was not sure in which direction.

Liao Fan thought about it for a while before he said to the veteran squad leader: "In this way, you take a squad soldier to touch the small mountain bag in front of us, remember to bring two light machine guns, and let the soldiers standing guard become dark sentinels." ”

The veteran squad leader's instinct was right, but they were not surrounded, they were surrounded by soldiers guarding the cave, because it was dark and they didn't know how many people were guarding the cave, so they quietly surrounded the cave and did not rashly attack.

The veteran squad leader led a squad of soldiers to occupy the commanding heights in front, but it was too dark to see anything, so he could only stay there.

"Commander of the seventh company, wake up all the soldiers in another hour, and then you take a platoon of soldiers to protect the two wings of the troops, and all the soldiers are loaded with bullets, waiting for my order." Liao Fan ordered the commander of the seventh company to be ready for battle at any time.

The warriors guarding the cave did not know that they had been surrounded, and after receiving Li Weimin's order, they only had one meal every night, and the rest of the time they had to be hidden, and did not arrange sentries to the perimeter.

An hour later, according to Liao Fan's order, the commander of the seventh company arranged the soldiers and reported the situation to Liao Fan: "Brother Fan, do you want to send two soldiers to reconnoiter forward." ”

"We can't startle the snake, if we are surrounded, we can only defend in place and wait for support. If the warriors stationed in the cave are surrounded, we are a strange army, ready to attack at any time. Liao Fan continued, "Remember that if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and no one can make a movement without my order." ”

Liao Fan and the others had been lying on the spot, but there was still no movement at dawn, and the commander of the seventh company came up and asked: "Brother Fan, could it be a mistake, there is no one at all." ”

"No way, there must be someone." Liao Fan believed in his own judgment and also believed in the intuition of the veteran squad leader.

"Brother Fan, why don't I lead a platoon of soldiers to move forward." The commander of the seventh company suggested.

Liao Fan couldn't understand why the enemy didn't make a move, and what was even more annoying was that Liao Fan didn't know where this group of people came from: "Don't wait, you lead the third platoon to attack from the right flank, the first platoon to attack from the left flank, and I lead the second platoon to attack directly from the front." ”

"Brother Fan, let's attack from the front! I'm afraid that the warriors guarding the entrance to the cave will hurt you under unknown circumstances. The seventh company commander said.

"I can't care so much, carry out the order!" Liao Fan opened the safety on the gun and prepared to attack.
