A brigade of the Japanese army could not break through, so they could only retreat in their original camp, but it had been two days, and although they still had ammunition in their hands, the food had been almost used up, and it was estimated that in another day, the food in their hands would run out.

Moreover, the weather in Taihang Mountain is hot, and many little devils are sick and have no way to be treated, so they can only wait for death obediently, but the captain of the little devils still has no intention of surrendering.

Ma Wanzhong waited patiently, in order not to make the little devil comfortable, Ma Wanzhong ordered the soldiers to fire a few shells at the little devil's camp from time to time every day, so as to ensure that the little devil did not have enough time to rest, and he was nervous at all times.

On the third day after the end of the battle, all the soldiers of the first regiment had taken over the encirclement of the little devils, and the fourth regiment took over the troops of a battalion of the second regiment under the order of Liao Fan and stationed them at Shimen, and since then Shimenkou has become the station of the fourth regiment. As for the area around Feihuling, it became the rear of Li Weimin's second regiment.

After all the forces were deployed, the main military commanders of the 33rd Independent Division were all gathered.

In the evening, everyone sat around under the oil lamp, and Liao Fan invited everyone to eat a bowl of noodles again, but this time the noodles were not sweating like last time, and everyone ate very gentlely.

"Okay, I've eaten the meal, although Huang Changsheng hasn't come back yet, we won't wait for him, let's talk about business next!" Liao Fan asked Lu Liming to put away the dishes and chopsticks, looked at everyone and said.

Hu Guoshan seemed to be still unsatisfied, and drank the last noodle soup in the bowl before handing it to Lu Liming, and finally licked his mouth.

"Lao Hu let's talk about the situation of your three regiments first, now that your three regiments occupy Heshun County, you will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the little devil!" Liao Fan glanced at Hu Guoshan's appearance and said.

Hu Guoshan looked at all the people in the headquarters who were watching, and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Fan, can you replenish some of our three regiments?" ”

"Lao Hu, although your three regiments have made great contributions to this battle, they can't just come with anything open, just saying that you captured Heshun County this time, and the strong men and prisoners of war in the county town are enough for your three regiments to replenish!" Of course, Ma Wanzhong was the first to be unhappy, "It also occupies a densely populated place in the county, so it is naturally not a difficult thing to recruit troops." ”

This time, Hu Guoshan had no intention of arguing with Ma Wanzhong, maybe he felt that he had received a lot of benefits from Jin Sanshan, and he didn't want to tear down each other with Ma Wanzhong, maybe there were fewer opportunities to meet with everyone in the future, so he especially cherished the current opportunity.

"It's good that Heshun County is densely populated, but you also have to figure it out, before the battle, most of the people in Heshun County moved into Taihang Mountain, and the county town has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and we have no soldiers to recruit in the county, so if the little devils continue to besiege the city, we will sit and eat the mountain sooner or later!"

Of course, Liao Fan knew the importance of Heshun County, but Taihang Mountain had just experienced a big battle, and the recruits who had been arranged to give the correct name had also been consumed in this battle, and there was no way to use it as a supplementary force, but the situation faced by the Third Regiment could not be ignored, after all, this was the first county occupied by the 33rd Independent Division, and it was on the main transportation route in the southeast and north of Jin.

"This year, the combat capture of the three regiments does not need to be handed over to the division headquarters, and they can be kept for their own use, but there is one thing that you want to ask for soldiers from me, but there is not a single soldier, and you regiment commanders and battalion commanders should not ask for soldiers and guns from me, and now I don't ask you for it." Liao Fan said unceremoniously to the main officers under his command.

"Hey, hey, okay, then I don't have any requirements, no matter how many little devils come, I will guarantee that they will be buried outside Heshun County!" Hu Guoshan is very confident now, the current strength of their three regiments is also the strength of a division in the regular army of the national army, they are indeed not short of troops, and on the one hand, he also knows that Liao Fan will not solve it for them, so he thought of this stupidest method, and gave them a relaxed policy around Liao Fan.

"Lao Hu, when you leave, let Sun Boyong cooperate with you to move the residents of Heshun County back, now the biggest threat to Heshun County is the plane from the little devil on your head, you must be prepared for air defense, even if we lack air defense weapons, but we must do a good job in air defense early warning!"

Liao Fan is not worried that his troops will fight a defensive war in the county, he is worried that the little devils will bomb Heshun County indiscriminately, and then hurt the people in the county for no reason, now the people in the three counties have moved to Taihang Mountain for a month, and in the long run, this is not a good way, but now that Heshun County is under their control, they can move back and some of the people have less pressure on the independent 33rd Division.

"Brother Fan, I have a way to make the little devil's plane fearful!" Hu Guoshan said to Liao Fan.

"What's the solution?" Liao Fan asked.

"Isn't the command now two thousand Japanese prisoners of war?" Hu Guoshan said, "As long as these 2,000 prisoners of war are imprisoned in Heshun County, and then the news is released, the little devil will definitely not drop bombs on Heshun County regardless of these 2,000 prisoners of war, right?" ”

Liao Fan thought about it, this is indeed a good way, but he thought of Hu Guoshan's temper of liking to kill prisoners of war, and he couldn't tell how many of the two thousand prisoners of war were left in Hu Guoshan's hands, so Liao Fan had to find a way to limit Hu Guoshan's temper.

"These two thousand Japanese prisoners of war belong to the second regiment, and it is not impossible to hand them over to your third regiment, but I have one condition, these two thousand Japanese prisoners of war are lent to you, Sun Boyong has a list and a record, and when the time comes, you and Hu Guoshan will return one of them to me, if there is a problem with one, you don't have to be the head of the regiment."

"Okay, I'll give an IOU, and when I have enough prisoners of war, I'll definitely return it to the logistics department!" Hu Guoshan said with a smile at Sun Boyong.

"But there is another point, two thousand Japanese prisoners of war is not a small number, there are still Japanese spies lurking in your three regiments, I don't want anything wrong!" Liao Fan looked at Hu Guoshan and said, now the three regiments are not monolithic, in case the two thousand Japanese prisoners of war rebel, it will be enough for the three regiments to drink a pot.

"Brother Fan, don't worry, since I borrowed these prisoners of war from you, of course I have thought of a way!"

"Now Liu Chundao's four regiments have been transferred to the Shimen area, from now on Shimen is the station of the four regiments, although the stone gate is a little far away from Heshun County, but once the three regiments have help, the four regiments must move closer to the three regiments at all costs, and Heshun County can no longer be lost!"

Liao Fan didn't know what Hu Guoshan would think, but as long as Hu Guoshan didn't kill the prisoners indiscriminately. Moreover, now that the third regiment occupies such an important position in Heshun County, Liao Fan transferred the fourth regiment to Shimen in order to prevent any accidents in Heshun County, so that Liu Chundao could support in time.

Liu Chundao nodded at Liao Fan, then looked at Hu Guoshan and said, "Old Hu, if we encounter any accidents in the Shimen area in the future, your old Hu's artillery fire is not allowed to be saved." ”

Heshun County was occupied by Hu Guoshan, and the arms and materials in the county belonged to the third regiment because of Liao Fan's words, and the third regiment now has the heavy artillery of the little devil, and the weapons and equipment they have are definitely the best among the four regiments, and the other three regiment commanders only look at them with greed.

"Hey, it's really more popular than people, now the third regiment is the most well-equipped regiment of our independent 33rd Division, go out to take a truck, there is heavy artillery in defense, and a few of us can only drink the northwest wind in the Taihang Mountains!" Ma Wanzhong said with a wry smile,

The first regiment suffered the largest casualties in this operation, and the troops participating in the battle suffered seventy percent of the casualties, and now there are nearly 1,000 wounded people lying in the hospital, which can make Ma Wanzhong feel uncomfortable.

"Old Ma, you don't have to worry, there are more than 1,000 people in the reconnaissance battalion plus the recruits I added to them before the war, and they are all reorganized into your regiment for the time being, but like Lao Hu, this is also temporarily lent to you, after this year, I will bring the reconnaissance battalion back!" Liao Fan understood what Ma Wanzhong was thinking, a large group of 7,000 people, plus more than 2,000 wounded and sick left, no one would be comfortable in his heart.

"I'm relieved to be relieved, we will work together after the battalion commander, and I will give you a lot of advice!" Ma Wanzhong smiled at the correct name.

Zhi Zhengming didn't dare to instruct Ma Wanzhong, so he hurriedly got up and saluted Ma Wanzhong: "Regiment commander, even if there is an order in the future, even if you give orders, the more than 1,000 brothers in our reconnaissance battalion will not embarrass you." ”

"Li Weimin, now let's talk about the combat situation of your regiment!" Liao Fan said.

This time, the 2nd Regiment achieved remarkable results, defeating the main force of the Japanese army in Shanxi with the strength of one regiment of 30,000 people, which was definitely a classic battle of the 33rd Independent Division.

Li Weimin did not take credit for himself, and many soldiers of their second regiment were killed in this war, and no one fought for the honor they deserved for the fallen soldiers, but only the names of the two or three characters were written on the list of each regiment, and in which battle they died.

Li Weimin's account of the battle of the Second Regiment in Beitaifeng was very bland, and it only took him half an hour to finish the battle of a month, especially in the process of the final counterattack, he told it more blandly, maybe only the person concerned knew the pressure in Li Weimin's heart, with thousands of people to counterattack tens of thousands of troops, one operation was not good, and everyone only died.

It was quiet inside the headquarters, there were boring shouts outside the headquarters, and the slogans of the soldiers' training could be heard in the distance, as if all this had been far away from the war.

Liao Fan's eyebrows furrowed into eight figures, his hands clenched into fists and pressed against the conference table, and he slowly spoke: "In this combat operation, the second regiment is facing the greatest pressure, but the final victory belongs to us. ”

"From now on, the second regiment will also face greater pressure, and in the future, the important burden of our troops going out of Taihang Mountain will fall on you Li Weimin!" Liao Fan had discussed this issue with Li Weimin, and now the north was the best development direction for their independent 33rd Division.
