"I'm not here to judge the case for the two of you, I handed over the peripheral defense of the station to Ma Wanzhong, and Ma Wanzhong is naturally responsible for this matter!" Liao Fan stretched his waist and yawned, "But old horse, it's really a bit unkind for you to do this!" ”

"Okay Brother Fan, I'm thinking about it!" Ma Wanzhong said, "Brother Fan, should I arrange for a troop to go out to inquire about the current situation of the little devil and see how the progress of the little devil is, so that I can know the specific time when the little devil will attack us!" ”

"I'm here to discuss this matter with you, as for the specific time of the little devil's attack, it would be good for the intelligence officers in the city to reconnoitre." Liao Fan and Li Lingfei discussed some things in the headquarters yesterday afternoon, and now that the first and fourth regiments have arrived at the station, he decided that it would be best for the first regiment to carry out this task.

"Brother Fan, is there any other task?" Ma Wanzhong asked.

"The little devil has been building the road a little too smoothly recently, a regiment of five hundred people will be selected to form a reinforced battalion, find an experienced commander, go out to reconnoiter the little devil, and if necessary, you can give the little devil some means!" Liao Fan said to Ma Wanzhong.

"This matter is easy to do, our regiment also has its own reconnaissance battalion, so leave this matter to the reconnaissance battalion to do!" Ma Wanzhong said.

"Let the soldiers of the fourth regiment fill the defensive vacancy in the forward position, and give the soldiers of the fourth regiment a chance to exercise!"

After finishing speaking, Liao Fan turned around and left and returned to the headquarters. Only Ma Wanzhong, who kept rolling his eyes at Liu Chundao, and Liu Chundao, who was happy, were left.

The whole garrison did not cease until dawn after the arrival of the soldiers of the 1st and 4th regiments. This morning, Liao Fan did not arrange the training of recruits in the station, and the soldiers of the first and fourth regiments did not rest all night yesterday, and the soldiers were resting in the bunker at this time, in order not to disturb their rest, Liao Fan ordered today's training task to be canceled.

The station during the day was much quieter than last night, and the summer cicadas were chirping endlessly in the trees, as if to remind people not to forget them. During the day, the weather is still hot, and even flies are too lazy to fly. However, in the stuffy headquarters, several people sat together again.

"Sun Boyong has prepared all the combat materials for your two regiments, you can go and receive them at any time, the pressure on the logistics department is relatively great, you can get the combat materials you need in the early stage, don't bother the brothers in the logistics department!" Liao Fan poured a glass of water for Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan and put it in front of them.

The two of them nodded, and Ma Wanzhong said: "Brother Fan, there are many places in the forward position that need to be repaired, and I also want to plan to set up some traps within five hundred meters from the forward position, even if it can't cause great losses to the little devil, but it must make the little devil feel afraid!" ”

"Well, yes, but the trap must make sure our own fighters remember the location clearly to prevent accidentally injuring their own people!" Liao Fan reminded.

"Brother Fan, there is one more thing, what should I do if I play a little devil to bypass the west and attack from the east?" Liu Chundao asked.

Liu Chundao remembered very well about the last battle, the task in the east was given to their guard battalion, and now the first and fourth regiments have been arranged to defend the west and north sides, so what should the little devils in the north direction attack from the east again?

"Don't forget, we still have a reconnaissance battalion that is named to the right name, and the division headquarters has not been idle since you left, and has trained more than a thousand recruits, and I will hand over these more than 1,000 recruits to the correct name when necessary!"

Although the recruits are not well trained, they can still be used in positional defensive warfare, and at least they can play some role.

"Do you two have any questions?" Liao Fan looked at the two people and asked.

"There's no problem, the supplies are ready, the soldiers are already in place, and the next thing is to wait for the little devil to arrive!" Ma Wanzhong said confidently.

"Since there is no problem, go back to sleep, let the soldiers have a good rest these days!" Liao Fan yawned, although he slept early last night, he was tossed by a ball and a four, and he barely slept in the second half of the night.

Ma Wanzhong and Liu Chundao left the command headquarters, there are still many things to be arranged by two people on the position, Liao Fan can sleep, they can't sleep.

Although a large number of prisoners of war were snatched by the 33rd Independent Division during this period, and the Japanese army also lost nearly four brigades, the Japanese army transported a large number of prisoners of war from various places, and under the guidance and supervision of the engineers, these strong men repaired a section of the road perfectly.

Seeing that the destroyed railway line was about to be completed, Gangmura Ningji felt very relieved after seeing the telegram, at least it was the happiest thing for him in the past few days.

The road from Yangquan to Heshun County began to become smooth, and Gangcun Ningci ordered the troops still waiting in Hubei to start heading north to Shanxi, preparing to launch an attack on Taihang Mountain. A train transporting troops departed from Wuhan and came to Shanxi.

The Japanese army in Shanxi has more and more troops, from 30,000 at the beginning to 50,000, from 50,000 to 80,000...... The train ran from Hubei to Shanxi day and night, constantly transporting soldiers and materials needed for the war.

"Camp Commander Jin, the purpose of this operation is clear, right?" Ma Wanzhong, the commander of the first regiment, looked at the reconnaissance battalion commander Jin Sanshan under his command and said.

Jin Sanshan was a platoon commander of the original first battalion, and later because of the expansion of the army and the lack of officers, Jin Sanshan directly became the battalion commander under Huang Changsheng.

"I know what to do, but Commander, when will our battalion be rebuilt?"

Jin Sanshan already knew that this operation was arranged by Liao Fan, in addition to reconnoitring the speed of the little devil, he also had to give the little devil a pain, otherwise the little devil would have been too comfortable these days.

"According to Brother Fan's expectations, it will take two days for the little devil railway to be completely repaired, and there will be at least three days for the little devil to enter the mountain, if you can't come back on time, you will take the troops to find Hu Guoshan, the commander of the third regiment, or directly take the troops to Feihuling."

This is also Liao Fan's guess about the time of the little devil's action, and Liao Fan is not very sure, the reconnaissance battalion will probably not come back on time this time, once the station where the 33rd Independent Division is located is surrounded by the little devils, the reconnaissance battalion of the first regiment really can't come back.

Jin Sanshan set off with his own troops, each soldier wearing a straw hat, one is camouflage, and the other is shade. After leaving the station, Jin Sanshan led his troops all the way without stopping, and went directly to the south, but they did not leave the mountain.

For the safety of the operation, Jin Sanshan can only take the troops through the mountains, although the road is a little difficult and dangerous, but the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are all veterans, and they do not say that they will not drop the chain at all, knowing that it is almost noon, Jin Sanshan will take the troops to rest in the shade, and then continue to act after the hottest time of the day.

The sun at noon bakes the earth, even if the Taihang Mountains are high and dense, it makes people feel uncomfortable, Liao Fan lies on the bed and turns over and over like a pancake, constantly fanning the wind with a pu fan, I don't know how long this damn weather will be hot.

"Brother Fan, the information from Pingding County!" A soldier ran into the command headquarters and handed over the information in his hand to Liao Fan.

Li Lingfei took the information instead of Liao Fan and waved his hand to signal the soldier to leave, **Fei opened the information and read it.

"Brother Fan, the Japanese troops stationed in Pingding County and Yangquan are ready to attack, and there is still no news about the specific time of the attack!" Li Lingfei said.

Liao Fan turned over and got up, took the information in Li Lingfei's hand and read it carefully, and then thought carefully.

"Brother Fan, you won't pay attention again, will you?" Li Lingfei looked at Liao Fan's appearance and knew that Liao Fan must have paid attention to finding some way to beat the little devil.

Liao Fan shook his head and threw away the thoughts in his heart: "Forget it, there is no possibility of success, let's let the soldiers have a good rest." ”

When Liao Fan just saw the information, an idea flashed in his mind, if he could destroy the main force of the Japanese army in Shanxi before the army of Gangcun Ningci was assembled, the pressure of the independent 33rd Division in this battle would be much less, but the main force of the Japanese army in Shanxi gathered 30,000 troops and were stationed in Yangquan and Pingding County, if it was attacked, even if the independent 33rd division could be captured on time, its own damage would be great.

If the Japanese army is drawn out, the same 30,000 Japanese troops will be wiped out, and it will be a very lossy battle for the 33rd Independent Division, and now it seems that their only way is to honestly wait for the Japanese army to attack.

Li Lingfei saw that Liao Fan didn't speak or ask questions, and then returned to his desk and continued to look at the documents.

Liao Fan still sat quietly on the bed thinking about what he had just thought, and after a while, Liao Fan simply lay on the bed again, this time he fell asleep.

The chirping of cicadas in summer always makes people feel upset, when Liao Fan woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and not long after Liao Fan woke up, Ma Wanzhong entered the command headquarters and asked Liao Fan to see how the troops he had arranged.

Liao Fan walked to the door of the headquarters, glanced at the scorching sun in the sky, and then walked back to the chair in front of his desk and sat down.

"Brother Fan, it's better for you to go and give us some advice, otherwise I don't know the bottom of my heart!" Ma Wanzhong watched Liao Fan go out, but he didn't expect to come back and sit down.

"This big sun, you let me go out, what should I do if I have heat stroke, rest and rest, and go to see it at night!" After Liao Fan sat down, he was too lazy to move again.

Ma Wanzhong glanced at Liao Fan embarrassedly, thinking that you have thick skin and thick meat, it is too difficult to get heat stroke.

"Brother Fan, our underground fortifications are much cooler than the headquarters, they all say that the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, if Brother Fan goes there to sleep, it will definitely be more comfortable than in the headquarters!" Ma Wanzhong said with a smile.
