Looking at Ma Wanzhong's smile, Liao Fan's face also showed a smile: "Hey, hey, my Grand Master Ma wants to ask you something!" ”

"Brother Fan, you say, I must know everything!" Ma Wanzhong didn't see that Liao Fan was smiling at him, thinking that Liao Fan was going to go with him to the underground fortifications in the front line.

"Is the forward position a place to sleep, or a place to fight?" Liao Fan asked in a low voice, as if he was extremely patient.

The smile on Ma Wanzhong's original face froze, and his eyes became strange when he looked at Liao Fan: "Brother Fan, when the soldiers are fine, they can only sleep in the underground fortifications. ”

"The soldiers are sleeping because they have nowhere else to go, that's the job they have to stick to, what is the matter with me going to sleep in the fortifications?" Liao Fan's eyes staring at Ma Wanzhong became more and more fierce.

Ma Wanzhong finally knew that he had said the wrong thing: "That...... Van Ge ...... We're not talking about sleeping, we're talking about inspecting positions. Ma Wanzhong hurriedly pulled the topic back.

"I'll go and see it tonight, from the first line of defense to the third line of defense, I'll go to see it, you just let your soldiers repair the fortifications, this battle will definitely be very tiring, you have to rest well when you go back, we don't have a few good days."

How long do the little devils have to fight, how long they have to hold on here, Liao Fan knows very well that the next fight with the Japanese army is not only weapons and equipment, but also the willpower of the troops, if the will falls first, even if there are good weapons and equipment in their hands, it will only be a waste in vain.

"Brother Fan, you must go at night!"

Although Ma Wanzhong has arranged everything properly, but the burden on his shoulders this time is not as easy as that of the three regiments, if there is a mistake somewhere, the little devil breaks through a little, the entire defense line collapses, and there is no need to wait for the third regiment to play a role behind the enemy, and the command will be destroyed by the little devil.

After Ma Wanzhong left, Liao Fan sat in the headquarters and was stunned for more than an hour, today's weather was too hot, he sat motionless in the headquarters, and his clothes were wet with sweat.

"Let's go! Check it out at the school! Liao Fan said to Lu Liming.

When the battle did not come, the school was still running as usual, except for the officers, who had returned to the troops, the children were still in class, and they did not feel that there was going to be a war.

"Brother Fan, is there going to be a war, you can assign tasks to us, we can also take a gun to the position and fight the little devil!" After Liu Deyun saw Liao Fan, he said to Liao Fan.

Last time the little devil's spies infiltrated in, although Liu Deyun and they resisted, but the bullets were all shot out, not a single enemy was injured, and they were captured alive by the little devils, this matter was a humiliating thing for them, if it wasn't for Huang Changsheng to arrive with the troops, they might really be taken away by the little devils, so they hope to have a chance to be ashamed.

"Let you go to the battlefield, it means that we really can't keep Taihang Mountain!" Liao Fan knows very well in his heart that Liu Deyun is very patriotic, but patriotism cannot only rely on one blood, only one hot-blooded person dies the fastest on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, if it's really the end......" Liao Fan didn't finish his words, Liu Deyun They are smart people, and they will definitely understand when they get to the end.

"Brother Fan, for the safety of the students in the school, let's start the school holiday tomorrow!" Shen Zhengwen suggested.

"Well, you can discuss the affairs of the school, but once the battle starts, you will enter the bomb shelter, and then you will live with the soldiers of the logistics department, and the conditions may be a little more difficult." Liao Fan said to a few people.

"Brother Fan, what is this bit of suffering, compared to the bloody and sacrificed soldiers on the front line, this is the only thing we can do!" Shen Zhengwen said.

"The valuables in the school, if you want to move them, go to Sun Boyong for help, we finally got them up, and we can't destroy them in this battle!" Liao Fan said.

After talking about some arrangements in the school, Liu Deyun and they fell into silence, a few days ago, they had already learned the news that the little devils were going to attack Taihang Mountain on a large scale, and they also wanted to pick up guns to defend Taihang Mountain, but as Liao Fan said, fighting is not just a battle that can be fought with blood.

The sound of children reading began to sound in the school, Liao Fan smiled at a few people, and wanted to get up to say goodbye, Liu Deyun did not stay, they could see that Liao Fan was in a heavy mood. And the most important reason, in fact, there is no need for Liao Fan to come to the school in person, since he came in person, in addition to telling them some things, he must also want to meet them, maybe this is the last time to meet him.

After coming out of the school, Liao Fan didn't know where to go, and the headquarters was too boring. But it's too hot outside.

"Brother Fan, should we go to Brother Liao's place to have a look, if we don't go to the artillery battalion before the big battle, the soldiers of the artillery battalion should have an opinion!" Lu Liming saw Liao Fan's thoughts and said to Liao Fan.

Liao Fan nodded, agreed with Lu Liming's opinion, and then began to walk towards the garrison of the artillery battalion, in fact, the artillery battalion had already been arranged, and all the personnel had already been in place.

Looking at the military camp that was much emptier than usual, Liao Fan felt very uncomfortable, and he came to Liao Jundong's headquarters with ease.

"You don't stay at the headquarters to coordinate everything in the troops, why do you have time to come to me?" Liao Jundong poured water for his younger brother, in Liao Jundong's impression, Liao Fan rarely came to the artillery battalion, not that Liao Fan did not attach importance to the artillery battalion, but that he attached great importance to the artillery battalion, so he handed over the artillery battalion to him.

"It's too stuffy in the headquarters, come out for a walk, and think that I haven't been here for a long time, so come and have a look!" Liao Fan's interest in speaking was not high.

"Things come, we always have to face them, but we are lucky that we don't face it ourselves, but all our brothers face it together!" Liao Jundong knew that Liao Fan had a knot in his heart, and as Liao Fan's elder brother, he certainly had the obligation to enlighten Liao Fan.

"Brother, I understand everything, but I'm still worried that we have to take the last step!"

"It's not that we haven't reached the last step yet, the little devil is not ready now, and we are already ready, whether it is in the circle or outside the circle, this battle will come sooner or later, we still have a chance!"

Liao Fan nodded, did not continue to speak, just sat quietly, the hottest time of the day had passed. The development of Taihang Mountain is now inseparable from the independent 33rd Division, no matter how difficult it is, Liao Fan still has to persevere, not because he insists on hope, but because Liao Fan believes that as long as he persists, there will be hope.

"You don't have to worry about the artillery battalion, the places I have chosen are all places where direct fire support can be carried out, and most of the artillery positions I have arranged on the anti-slope plane, leaving fifteen mortars as mobile forces, if necessary, I can support operations anywhere at any time." Liao Jundong looked at the silent Liao Fan and said.

In terms of artillery, whether it is technology or firepower, the Japanese army is of course stronger than the artillery battalion, and if you want to fight an artillery battle with the little devils, the artillery battalion must make good use of the terrain of the Taihang Mountain. In the past few days, Liao Jundong has inspected the most suitable locations for placing artillery positions around the station, and arranged the artillery battalion into three parts in different areas, leaving a part as a mobile force to be responsible for supporting operations.

"Do you remember when you captured a mortar on the battlefield of Songhu and almost fell out with the regiment commander?" Liao Jundong recalled the past, and smiled bitterly in his heart, although less than two years have passed, but this incident seems to have passed for a lifetime, and none of the people who participated in the battle back then, especially their fellow countrymen, are still alive.

"Later, although we had artillery, but where is it as powerful as it is now, we have not fought a battle, we have to plan well whether the shells are worth it or not, although it is not as rich as imagined, but at least, we have an artillery group, if the little devils really want to come to die, they have to weigh the firepower configuration in our hands. Now we not only have divisional artillery battalions, but four regiments are also equipped with a certain amount of artillery, and now we are much stronger than ever, so I am confident that we can hold it! Liao Jundong continued.

Liao Fan thought for a while: "We are a lot stronger than before, but the stronger the strength, the more fearful, they all say that the more dead people we see, the more numb our hearts will be, from the Songhu battlefield to the present, we have lost too many brothers!" ”

"Yes, but where is the truth of immortality on the battlefield, so many good have fallen, and there will be more soldiers who will go forward and succeed, and we should take on the responsibilities entrusted to us by this era when we live in this era."

"When I watched the lives fall, I always felt that it was not the little devils who were doing evil, but that I, Liao Fan, had changed their fate, and I only hoped that we could persevere, make China stronger, and live up to every soldier who died in battle!" Liao Fan bit his lip, he doesn't like war more and more now, especially after seeing so many people die, but for the survival of the independent 33rd Division, and for China not to be enslaved by little devils, they must sacrifice their lives.

"I don't like death, we are also forced to pick up guns, so many troops in China, so many soldiers they also want to live a good life at home, like Lao Ma, they don't want to leave their hometown, from thousands of miles away in the northeast to run here to fight, before the little devils came, they were all honest farmers, not to mention killing, chickens may not have killed!"

Liao Fan nodded and agreed with Liao Jundong's opinion.

"Don't go back to eat tonight, eat here with me, we brothers haven't been able to eat a good meal together for a long time!" Liao Jundong looked at Liao Fan's expression and relaxed a lot, and then said to Liao Fan that if there was nothing important tonight, he would stay and eat together.
