Chapter 333: Fight if you want
At noon, Liu Chundao returned to the headquarters, and his face was much better than in the morning.
"Brother Fan has sent a communications soldier to come and give us a new order." Li Weimin sat opposite Liu Chundao, "Brother Fan's order is that you must rush back to the division headquarters tonight, I told the signal soldier, I will go over tomorrow night, the army has just finished fighting, the commander must be in charge, Brother Fan will understand." ”
"Master Li, do you have any other orders?"
"The rest of the orders are given to our second regiment, and it is estimated that after you arrive at the headquarters, Brother Fan will give you new orders." Li Weimin thought about it, and estimated that Liu Chundao must have been scolded by Liao Fan when he went back this time, "However, it can be seen from the orders issued by Brother Fan to our troops that Brother Fan still has a lot of points of agreement with the battle of your four regiments this time." ”
"Oh?" Liu Chundao didn't understand what Li Weimin meant.
"Brother Fan, give the order to let our second regiment advance twenty miles." Li Weimin said, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to attack this time, the little devil would definitely not have retreated so easily, and Brother Fan would not have given us the order to move forward." ”
Although the four regiments suffered heavy casualties this time, the effect of the operation was also obvious, the little devil's original plan was to block the mountain pass through artillery and two infantry brigades, but he didn't expect Liu Chundao to blow up the artillery position, and the little devil suffered huge casualties after this battle, so he could only retreat to Guangling County, where the city was high and thick, and no longer had the ability to intercept Taihang Mountain.
What makes the little devil commander even more troublesome is that the Chinese army seems to be equipped with new weapons, which are extremely powerful, and their howitzers are not comparable to the power of this new weapon. Of course, the little devil doesn't know the shortcomings of the flying thunder cannon, but when he sees the power of the flying thunder cannon, it is estimated that everyone will ignore his shortcomings, especially as the one who was bombed, the power is simply a terrifying beast roaring, which makes the little devil feel terrified in his heart.
In order to find out what kind of new weapon it is, the intelligence department of the little devil sent a large number of spies to Taihang Mountain.
In the early morning of the second day after the end of the battle, Liu Chundao returned to Feihuling with the fourth regiment, most of the soldiers of the fourth regiment were local soldiers, many villagers lost their children all at once, of course, it was difficult to accept, accompanied by the head of each village, Li Weimin visited door to door, as much as possible to comfort the parents who had just lost their children, and promised that the fourth regiment would never forget them.
Originally, he planned to go to the division headquarters the next night, but after a long delay at the station, Liu Chundao had no choice but to write a letter to Liao Fan in person and ask the communications corps to send it to Liao Fan.
Liao Fan read the letter sent by the signal soldiers in the headquarters, and half of the letter was typos, but Liao Fan was not angry at Liu Chundao's delay, because Liu Chundao did the right thing in these aspects, and the fourth regiment still needs to be stationed in the area of Feihuling, of course, it needs the support of the local people.
"Chu Pengtian, go tell Sun Boyong to prepare another battalion of supplies, and let Liu Chundao bring it back when Liu Chundao comes tomorrow." In this battle, the four regiments lost not only personnel, but also a large amount of weapons and equipment.
Of course, the weapons and equipment of one battalion can't make up for the gap of the four regiments, and Liao Fan's purpose is to make the four regiments self-reliant, otherwise they will all rely on the replenishment of the logistics department, and sooner or later they will be empty.
Just when the battle in the area of Beitai Peak was hot, the battle in Nanchang also entered a fierce battle, more and more troops were sent by both sides, and the offensive edge of the national army was getting weaker and weaker, not that the national army was not active, but that the little devils had strong fortifications and excellent equipment, after all, the national army was the attacking party, and the casualties were increasing.
When Liao Fan was paying attention to the situation in Taihang Mountain, of course, he was also concerned about the battle situation in the whole country, and every step of the little devil's action was an opportunity for the development of the independent 33rd Division.
In the early morning, Liu Chundao came to the headquarters early, he didn't sleep all night, and rode to the division headquarters with his part-time orderly. It has been two days since the incident, and Liao Fan's anger at the beginning has also disappeared by half, and Liu Chundao did not usher in the stormy criticism of Liao Fan as he imagined.
"What's going on with the Fourth Regiment now?" Liao Fan is now concerned about whether the Fourth Regiment still has combat effectiveness, and if the formation of the Fourth Regiment is defeated, the Fourth Regiment will be disbanded as soon as possible.
"Half of the casualties have stabilized, and the mood of the soldiers has stabilized, I have already gone to see the relatives of the fallen soldiers in Flying Fox Ridge......"
Liu Chundao reported to Liao Fan the initial thoughts, why he wanted to attack the artillery position of the little devils, how to act, and then to the details of comforting the relatives of the sacrificed soldiers last night.
"Why don't you report to command if there's such a big operation?" Liao Fan stared at Liu Chundao, if Liu Chundao had reported their plan of action to the headquarters earlier, or asked Li Weimin for help earlier, the casualties of their troops would probably be much smaller.
"I ......" Liu Chundao didn't know what to say, at this time he couldn't say to Liao Fan that he wanted the four regiments to be recognized, and he wanted the four regiments to be able to hold up a piece of the sky. However, thinking about it, the reality is very cruel, the little devil is not vulnerable, and the four regiments are not able to hold up the sky independently.
"The Fourth Regiment does not have any combat missions in the near future, your only task is to recruit and train, continue to train, until I think it is qualified, I will ask Ma Wanzhong to transfer a company of soldiers from the First Regiment to supplement the Fourth Regiment, and I have asked Sun Boyong to prepare a battalion of combat materials, you can bring it back when you go back at night."
Liu Chundao heard Liao Fan's words, just lowered his head and didn't say anything, at this time he didn't need to say anything, the responsibility for the damage to the troops was on him, Liao Fan not only did not blame him, but also actively replenished the combat materials and personnel for the four regiments, this can only be explained by Liao Fan's hope for their four regiments?
Of course, Liao Fan also wants every unit of the 33rd Independent Division to become the mainstay of the 33rd Independent Division, but Liao Fan is not as impatient as Liu Chundao, after all, they can't become a fat man in one bite, they must develop steadily, otherwise Liao Fan would not have entered Taihang Mountain with his troops.
A few days later, the situation in Nanchang had stabilized, although the national army had not yet withdrawn, but both the generals and the soldiers knew that the battle in Nanchang was coming to an end, and there were only sporadic exchanges of fire in some areas, and the threat of the national army to Nanchang had been eliminated.
Gangcun Ningci, the old devil, watched Nanchang stabilize and he couldn't sit still anymore, and the reason why he couldn't sit still was the independent 33rd Division. Because the 33rd Independent Division has been able to toss too much recently, half of his supplies on the front line have not arrived, and the other half has been completely transported from Hebei.
The most important thing is that the 33rd Independent Division has pushed the station to the edge of their main railway line, and the trains in Jindong have entered a state where they cannot operate. This is mainly because Hu Guoshan is too boring, their troops have another 6,000 men and horses in ten days, and under this crazy speed of violent soldiers, it is difficult for Hu Guoshan to sit still honestly.
Since you can't sit still, let's fight, the puppet army within a radius of 100 miles has already heard of the name of this fierce regiment commander, where do you dare to provoke the third regiment of the 33rd Independent Division, as soon as the soldiers arrived under the turret and stronghold, there was not even a single shot inside, and the puppet army surrendered. Some of the turrets supervised by little devils are only a symbol of resistance, and their guns are almost always fired into the sky.
The puppet army surrendered, then fight the little devil, but Liao Fan seemed to see through his thoughts, just when he was about to make a move on Xiyang County, a paper order arrived at his headquarters, the order was very simple, if you dare to fight the county seat, I dare to replace the commander of the third regiment. finally pulled the three regiments into hard work, so Hu Guoshan would not let others be the head of the three regiments.
Of course, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao also saw the order: "Brother Fan is right, we can't hold it if we fight down, it's better not to fight, it will only make us lose more troops, and the battles are frequent, and it is the people in the county town who suffer." ”
Since he couldn't hit the county seat, Hu Guoshan vented his energy on the railway line and highway line of the little devil. The next day, when the little devil train was transporting supplies, something happened that made them dumbfounded, good guys, the railway of more than 20 miles was completely ripped off.
The railroad tracks are gone, and the supplies cannot be transported, so the little devils have to go around to catch strong men and build the railway. But the railway was about to be repaired, and Hu Guoshan also attacked with his troops, not only saving the strong men captured by the little devils, but the railway line was lost for more than 20 miles again.
In the course of a month, the three regiments recruited more than 1,000 soldiers from Zhuangdingli, and transported a large amount of steel and coal supplies to the logistics department. The little devil's railway line has not delivered supplies for more than a month, all relying on road transportation, and the road transportation is often ambushed by three regiments on the way, and even if it escapes by chance, it is also attacked by guerrillas of other forces and even bandits on the way. The entire transportation line in eastern Jindong was like it no longer existed, and the little devils had to send supplies to the front line from Hebei and western Jinxi.
The trouble in Nanchang is finally solved, it's time to go back and clean up this group of scoundrels, Okamura Ninji looked at the map on the table in front of him, he decided to launch a big battle, the goal is not only the independent 33rd Division, but also the national army existing in southern Hebei and northern Henan to eliminate together, because the national army in these areas has also caused great trouble to their transportation lines.
Since it's decided, let's fight, you don't think it's fun to make a small fight, then let's have a big one, whether the independent 33rd Division or the national army in southern Hebei and northern Henan disagree, anyway, he Gangcun Ningci agreed.
The Battle of Nanchang is over, Taihang Mountain has already entered the summer, and the development of the various troops is all in Liao Fan's expectations, for the expansion of the first regiment, the second regiment and the third regiment that do not obey the order, Liao Fan also began to turn a blind eye, because he knew that the battle in Nanchang was over, and the little devils would definitely do something to them.
On this day, Liao Fan had just set up a squad directly under the division, this squad was called the spy squad, and the squad leader was Chu Pengtian, Chu Pengtian finally became a sergeant squad leader from a second-class soldier, and immediately showed off everywhere with pride.
