"Don't try to fool around today, do you want me to make a loud announcement to you at the door of the headquarters and tell your brothers that their brigade commander has taken a fancy to a girl from the textile factory?" Liao Fan looked at Huang Changsheng with a smile and said.

Huang Changsheng looked aggrieved: "Brother Fan, I admit it, but you have to assure me that this matter can't be spread outside, I don't know what other girls mean!" ”

"Tell me quickly, which girl is it?" Liao Fan asked happily.

"Brother Fan, you've seen this person!"

"I've seen it?" Liao Fan was curious, he had seen most of the workers in the textile factory, but Liao Fan still thought about it carefully, suddenly thought of someone, and asked Huang Changsheng in shock, "Is it her?" ”

Huang Changsheng lowered his head embarrassedly and looked at it, and then said "um" softly.

"Good thing, big good thing, go, follow me to the hospital!" Liao Fan clapped his hands happily and said.

"Brother Fan, why do you want to go to the hospital, I'm okay with that!" Huang Changsheng said in horror.

"Hahaha, I asked you to go to the hospital to let you tell your sister-in-law about this matter, and then let your sister-in-law help you come up with ideas."

However, when he knew that Huang Changsheng liked Kang Xin, Liao Fan thought that his troubles could finally be solved, of course, he had to take Huang Changsheng to the hospital to find Fu Hongyu, and tell Fu Hongyu about this matter first, so that Liao Fan would no longer have to worry about Fu Hongyu asking questions.

"Brother Fan, let's do this matter myself, I haven't thought about it yet!" Huang Changsheng said embarrassedly.

"You haven't thought about anything yet, you've climbed over the wall for others, you're embarrassed, do you want a girl to confess to you?"

Liao Fan didn't allow Huang Changsheng to explain, and directly pulled Huang Changsheng to the hospital, which was a good opportunity for Liao Fan, and let Fu Hongyu go to meet Kang Xin, and then use the method of good communication between women to ask Kang Xin's background.

So following the relationship between Liao Fan and Fu Hongyu, Huang Changsheng's relationship became the front page headline of Taihang Mountain, of course, the parties were kept in the dark.

Since Fu Hongyu learned that Huang Changsheng liked Kangxin, her legs were no longer sore, and her waist was no longer painful, and she began to run to the textile factory at both ends of the day, and gradually became friends with Kangxin, and then began to talk to Huang Changsheng as a matchmaker.

Liao Fan was no longer tortured by Fu Hongyu, he felt refreshed, and he was several years younger, so he focused on his Jingcheng mining area.

Liao Fan wanted to know about the situation after those soldiers were incorporated into various units, and Liao Fan already planned to use the 918th Division and the 771st Division to solve the Jingcheng Mining Area.

Therefore, Liao Fan inspected his troops again and told Li Weimin and Ma Wanzhong, two division commanders, about his plan to attack the Jingcheng mining area, so that they could prepare in advance.

"At that time, your division will be the main attacking force of this operation, so you must reconnoiter the deployment of Japanese troops and firepower in advance!" After Liao Fan saw Ma Wanzhong, he told Ma Wanzhong his thoughts.

"Brother Fan, the Japanese army in the Jingcheng mining area is not easy to deal with, there are strongholds all around, and the little devils can support at any time, especially with the strength of an armored brigade nearby, it is too tricky to deal with Japanese armored vehicles and tanks on such a flat terrain!" Ma Wanzhong said.

Although the Japanese armored brigade only had three tanks, and the rest were armored vehicles, for the new 33rd Army, which lacked anti-armor weapons, a dozen armored vehicles were enough for them to have a headache.

"You mean that as long as I find a way to transfer the little devil's armored brigade out of the Jingcheng mining area, you will be sure that within the specified time, you will capture the two county towns of Pingshan and Jingcheng?" Liao Fan asked.

"Brother Fan, where is it so easy for you to say, although the Jingcheng area is located in the western border of Hebei, you don't know the importance of this geographical location!" Ma Wanzhong glanced at Liao Fan with resentment, and captured the Jingcheng area.

Jingcheng mining area is located at the junction of Hebei and Jinjin, at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, adjacent to Pingshan County in the north, and adjacent to Luquan, Yuanshi and Zanhuang counties in the east and southeast. Jingcheng is known as "the fifth of the eight Taihang Fortresses, the sixth of the nine stops of the world" is known as the key to the Hebei thoroughfare, the place where the soldiers of all dynasties must fight, since ancient times it is an important military economic and cultural town, Han Xin's backwater battle Jingcheng area is the main battlefield, if Liao Fan does not come to Taihang Mountain, the future battle of the hundred regiments will also take place in this place.

Liao Fan was hit hard after listening to Ma Wanzhong's words, he didn't have any good way, but let Ma Wanzhong do it, it was indeed a little difficult for Ma Wanzhong.

"You go back to the garrison again, go and pick 6,000 people to strengthen your division, first train the mutual cooperation between the soldiers and the troops, and then focus on training the troops to attack, and after I think of a way, we will attack the Jingcheng mining area!"

In order to take the Jingcheng mining area, Liao Fan had to strengthen the strength of Ma Wanzhong's division.

When Ma Wanzhong heard that Liao Fan wanted to replenish his troops, Ma Wanzhong was immediately happy, regardless of the future war, at least their division could reach 16,000 people after such a strong strengthening, so many troops, at least it increased his confidence.

Liao Fan thought about it, this time he didn't come to Ma Wanzhong's station in vain, at least he thought that he didn't know enough about the Jingcheng area, and the intelligence officers who infiltrated the Jingcheng area didn't believe enough to believe in the information given to him.

Therefore, before Liao Fan decided to go to Beitai Peak, he first went to the Jingcheng mining area to reconnoitre.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Ma Wanzhong about this, and when he secretly went to inspect the troops, Liao Fan told Zhi Zhengming about this plan.

"Brother Fan, I'd better take someone to reconnoitre, it's too dangerous for you to go in person!" After hearing Liao Fan's plan, Zhi Zhengming's first reaction was to disagree.

"Do you think we don't have scouts at our military headquarters?" Liao Fan looked at Zhi Zhengming seriously, "It is precisely because of their lack of detail in reconnaissance that I decided to go in person, this is a battle of tens of thousands of people, and every detail must be dealt with!" ”

"But Brother Fan, your safety is a problem!"

"It's nothing, send me a few more old scouts in your hands, and this matter must not be told to your division commander, he will definitely take a division of troops to fight the little devils, and when the time comes, Lao Tzu's plan will be disrupted, I will ask you!" Liao Fan warned that the matter of his investigation must not be leaked.

Zhizheng arranged a platoon of scouts for Liao Fan, these scouts were all veterans of Liao Fan's original reconnaissance battalion, and of course they had no personal ability.

After leaving Ma Wanzhong's defense area, Liao Fan asked Lu Liming and the others to change into the clothes of ordinary people, and then divided them into groups of three and headed towards the Jingcheng mining area.

At this time, all the officers of the New 33rd Army only knew that Liao Fan was inspecting the troops and preparing for the next plan, but they did not know that Liao Fan had quietly infiltrated the enemy-occupied area with people.

The Jingcheng area is an important pass in the North China Plain, as long as this place is captured, whether it is from north to south or from west to east, the entire North China Plain will be in no danger to defend, which is also an important reason why the armored troops of the little devils are rampant in the North China Plain.

Liao Fan and his two fighters were in charge of reconnaissance within Pingshan County, and most of the important resources in the Jingcheng mining area were transported to Dingzhou by railway line, and then transported to the little devil's factory.

Liao Fan and the place they arrived at is called Xingtang, located in the northeast of Pingshan County, which is an important stronghold of the little devils and an important link on the railway line.

It is precisely because of the importance of the Jingcheng area that the emperor has attached great importance to the Jingcheng area since ancient times, so the economy of the Jingcheng area is very developed, and the population is relatively dense.

"This afternoon, the two of you went to reconnoiter the camp of the little devils, and remembered that there are several machine guns in the defense around the camp of the little devils, and how often the patrol passes by, you have to reconnoiter it for me!"

Liao Fan was glad that he came to take a look in person this time, there was a big gap between the terrain here and the informants and the marks on the map, as well as the defense arranged by the little devil in Xingtang, which also shocked Liao Fan.

The Japanese troops stationed in the Jingcheng area were obviously different from the Japanese troops in Shanxi, they had deep trenches on the perimeter of the forts and strongholds, and the pillboxes were also built more hidden, and they obviously had experience in dealing with sneak attacks.

"It seems that Senior Commander Chen didn't provoke these little devils when they were in Taihang Mountain!"

Liao Fan thought about it, the only reason that can explain why the little devil has such a sound defense, it must be that when the Eighth Route Army was in Taihang Mountain, it often troubled these Japanese troops, and the defense facilities of the little devil became more and more perfect.

After an afternoon of reconnaissance, Liao Fan in these strongholds was not worried about the little devil's turret, but worried about the little devil's bunker, the turret was placed on the bright side, Liao Fan and they could directly bombard it if they had artillery, but those bunkers were in the dark, once the troops charged, these bunkers would cause great casualties with them.

After Liao Fan carefully observed the little devil's bunker, he felt more and more distressed, the little devil was very vicious, because some of the bunkers were placed on the surface to attract firepower, that is, fake, and there would definitely be hidden hidden bunkers.

"Damn, this little devil is so vicious, more ruthless than the fortifications that Lao Tzu dug in Taihang Mountain!"

However, if Liao Fan wants to control the Jingcheng mining area, he must face the strongholds of these little devils, and if he wants to successfully take the strongholds of these little devils, Liao Fan must reconnoiter these firepower points hidden in the shadows.

But how to detect the little devil's hidden fortress, Liao Fan will definitely not be able to do it in a short time.

"If only there was a guerrilla force behind enemy lines! But when I go back, I should ask Political Commissar Liu, they already have a lot more experience than us in attacking behind enemy lines! ”

After Liao Fan's careful investigation, although Zhengtai Road has been cut off by Liao Fan and them in Taihang Mountain, after the little devils are carefully operated in the foothills on the east and west sides of Taihang Mountain, there are more highway lines than marked on the map.

Liao Fan did not rest on the night of infiltrating the enemy, but looked around along the highway line of the little devil, and finally Liao Fan came to an astonishing conclusion, that is, the Japanese army in the Jingcheng area was able to support each other within half an hour without any obstruction, and these highway lines led to the surrounding county seats, and the little devil's truck could support the various strongholds unimpeded.

That night, Liao Fan slept in a ruined temple in Xingtang, and of course there were many wanderers and beggars who slept with him, their homes were destroyed in the war, and they had nowhere to go but to beg everywhere.

Liao Fan sat alone in the corner, thinking about what he saw today, there were many details that he had reconnoitred, all of which had not been reported or detected by the intelligence officers, and now Liao Fan decided that he would take a look at all the Japanese strongholds around the Jingcheng mining area, and then he could rest assured.

A neatly dressed person like Liao Fan, sleeping in a ruined temple, is of course easy to arouse the suspicion of the beggars in the ruined temple.

When an old beggar cast a strange look at Liao Fan, Liao Fan smiled at him and nodded.
