Chapter 840: It's time for war
Liao Fan returned to the command headquarters, the soldiers of the special operations division had already set off, and now he needed to wait for the good news that the special operations division wore back!
"The signal soldier informed Liu Chundao that Hu Guoshan and Li Weimin came to the headquarters for a meeting!"
After thinking about it, Liao Fan decided to hold a meeting first and let the three division commanders prepare their troops for battle, so that after Liao Fan issued the battle order, the troops were still in training equipment and did not have the slightest combat preparation, and once a certain unit was out of touch, it was likely to affect the entire battle situation.
Since the division of troops, in addition to large-scale combat missions, Liao Fan rarely called a few division commanders to the headquarters, after all, the management of the troops is no longer a trivial matter, at the beginning of the management of four or five thousand people, everyone is easy to arrange work, but now the troops are all fifty or sixty thousand, although the management mode has not changed, but it has increased the tediousness of the work, which will inevitably take up a lot of time.
Liao Fan picked up the telescope and looked at the distant scenery of Taihang Mountain, the scenery of Taihang Mountain is still beautiful and moving, especially the fresh air makes people feel refreshed, and the sound of birds and birds is endless, but I am afraid that the only place to have such a comfortable day is Taihang Mountain.
The war has spread to the whole world, and the process of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been accelerated under Liao Fan's plan, as long as the most difficult moment is survived, the war between China and Japan will definitely be shortened, and the people will see an independent country standing in the East again.
"The scenery of Taihang Mountain is the most beautiful, the four seasons change, and there is a scenery worth enjoying in each season. There must be a good place in China where the scenery is also beautiful, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it! ”
Today's new 33rd Army is really powerful, but it can still only use Taihang Mountain as a barrier, and cannot march eastward to drive the Japanese army into the sea.
Just when Liao Fan was enjoying the scenery of Taihang Mountain, intelligence officers lurking all over the country frequently sent the situation of the Japanese army into Taihang Mountain from behind enemy lines. With Japan's declaration of war on the country and the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army needed a large number of troops to fight against the people of the country. The number of veterans who could fight on the Japanese soil was limited, and most of the experienced veterans were sent to the Chinese battlefield.
In order to get rid of the magnesium country as soon as possible, the Japanese army could only draw troops from China.
Some people who did not know what was going on thought thought that the Japanese army was going to launch a large-scale attack on the Chinese army, so they transferred their troops, but they did not know that they would transfer their troops back to their homeland and send them to every unknown island in the Pacific.
If he did not keep abreast of the current movements of the Japanese army, if the Japanese army set a trap for him, once he fell into this trap, the final result might be the total annihilation of the new 33rd Army.
As the saying goes, knowing one's opponent and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and it is precisely because of his intimate knowledge of the Japanese army that Liao Fan has such courage to carry out the plan that everyone thinks Liao Fan has gone crazy.
At noon the next day, the three division commanders arrived at the headquarters, this time Liao Fan did not call Cun Qi back, Cun Qi's most important task at present is to familiarize himself with the troops as soon as possible, so Liao Fan did not let people notify Cun Qi to go to the headquarters for a meeting.
"Brother Fan, why didn't the old horse come?" After entering the headquarters, the three division commanders did not see Ma Wanzhong, and they were all very curious.
Liao Fan beckoned the three of them to sit down: "Sit down, I will tell you about the matter slowly!" ”
"The first thing, I'm talking about a private matter, and it's also related to Lao Ma!" Liao Fan said to the three people present, "From today onwards, Ma Wanzhong will no longer serve as the commander of the 918th Division, and the division commander will be replaced by Cunqi!" ”
"What?! Brother Fan, did Ma Wanzhong make a mistake? You just give him a chance, such a huge army suddenly changed the division commander, we all understand, and the brothers below can't understand either! Although he usually quarrels with Ma Wanzhong often, Hu Guoshan was the first to jump out at this time, and he couldn't figure out what happened to make Liao Fan remove Ma Wanzhong's division commander.
"Lao Hu, if you listen to Brother Fan, Brother Fan must have a reason!" Li Weimin still supports Liao Fan, no matter what happens, he always believes in Liao Fan the most, and Liao Fan will definitely give them an explanation, and in terms of qualifications and merits, even if Ma Wanzhong makes a mistake, he believes that Liao Fan will not be merciless to Ma Wanzhong.
"What's the matter, in your Hu Guoshan's heart, am I Liao Fan so unbearable? Would you do that kind of communiqué personal vendetta to your subordinates? Liao Fan looked at Hu Guoshan and asked.
Hu Guoshan looked at Liao Fan a little embarrassed, in fact, he didn't mean that, but after hearing that Liao Fan had removed Hu Guoshan's position, Hu Guoshan was too anxious, so he asked like this.
"Brother Fan, I didn't mean that, Lao Ma is old in our ranks, I believe he won't be confused in big things, as for doing some small things wrong, Brother Fan would just give him some punishments, and he wouldn't remove the position of division commander, and I am also thinking about the troops, and the soldiers definitely don't want Ma Wanzhong to leave!" Hu Guoshan explained.
"Ma Wanzhong has a special mission to perform, he will leave Taihang Mountain for a long time, as for what task you will know, so this time I called you over, and after the meeting, you can go to his division headquarters to see him, this difference refers to when the next meeting will be, I know that you have a deep brotherhood, but I want to tell you, the matter involves military secrets, and you must not inquire too much!"
After several people heard Liao Fan's words, they instantly understood why Liao Fan wanted to remove Ma Wanzhong from his position, it turned out that there was an important task to be handed over to Ma Wanzhong to do, not because Ma Wanzhong made a mistake, Liao Fan wanted to remove him from his position.
"After I discussed with Ma Wanzhong, the position of division commander was given to Cun Qi to take office, although Cun Qi only came to Taihang Mountain later, but no one can compare to him in terms of qualifications, and he doesn't know much about the situation of our troops, you also have to help him more, just like when you helped Liu Chundao, they are all our own troops, don't tear down others!" Liao Fan warned the three of them not to bully the newcomers, it is common for the old and the new to be replaced in the army, if the old ones always bully the new ones, who will regard the troops as their home in the future.
"Brother Fan, don't worry, we don't dare to guarantee anything else, but we don't have to say anything about our brothers, and they are all Ma Wanzhong's subordinates, we don't look at Brother Fan's face, how can we give face to Lao Ma!" Hu Guoshan said jokingly.
"Okay, no one's face is as big as your Lao Hu's face, I heard that your Lao Hu's army has grown by 10,000 recently, and your Lao Hu is really wealthy!" Liao Fan teased.
"Brother Fan's intelligence work is really good, I can't hide anything from Brother Fan, the prestige of our new 33rd Army has been beaten, and it is also very popular with the people, so naturally there are a lot of people who come to sign up to join the army, I can't help it, I can't turn them all away!"
Hu Guoshan also knew that Liao Fan wanted them to control the army at about 50,000, but he stubbornly expanded the force to 10,000. Even if Liao Fan doesn't know the specific number of people, there is still a general number of wrong expenses, and the expenses of 10,000 people are not dozens of people, hundreds of people, you can see it at a glance.
"Lao Hu, more than 10,000 people! Where did you get your gear? Liu Chundao looked at Hu Guoshan in surprise, more than 10,000 people need 10,000 rifles alone, this is not a bullet.
"Hey, hey, aren't we close to the Japanese army? People say that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, of course we rely on the Japanese army to eat the Japanese army, but then again, we should hand in everything we should have handed in, if you don't believe it, go to the logistics department to ask Lao Sun, he knows best, our division really has no private collection! ”
If the distribution of resources is not good, and the front-line troops will be short of things when a war starts, the military department will not be able to provide them, but something big will happen.
"Okay, okay, I won't pursue the extra 10,000 people, and then I'm talking about the second thing, we're going to have a war with the little devils!" Liao Fan said.
Hearing that they were going to fight a battle with the little devil, the eyes of the three division commanders lit up. Fighting a war is a kind of experience for the troops, which can improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the other is to update their own weapons, and they can't look down on the rifles of the little devils, but the mortars and mountain artillery of the little devils are all good things, and after a battle, they can form an artillery regiment with a dozen guns.
Like Hu Guoshan, didn't his armored brigade get it from the little devils?
"Brother Fan, where to fight, you don't need the two of them, our division is enough!" Hu Guoshan is really stiff in the waist, 60,000 troops, and he still has the ability to capture the county seat of a little devil.
"Lao Hu, are you looking down on me and Liu Chundao? When will our two divisions lag behind? Although our division has not attacked many times, it has also fought a lot of tough battles with little devils! Don't look down on people, pull to the battlefield, our troops are not necessarily much worse than your division! Li Weimin is not convinced, although the number of their division is not as large as that of Hu Guoshan's division, but it is not weak in terms of combat effectiveness.
"That's right! Lao Hu, our division also has more than 50,000 people, and it is fully equipped, if you want to fight little devils, you can't belittle our two divisions as worthless because of your words, right? Of course, Liu Chundao was not convinced, in the new 33rd Army, who did not understand whom.
"Hey! What are you going to do? Consistent with the outside world? Little Lizi, don't forget how we supported you in the most difficult part of the year! And Liu Chundao, when you were just formed, how much equipment did we take out to help you! You two are so quick to be ungrateful! Hu Guoshan didn't expect the master and apprentice to join forces to deal with him.
"Lao Hu, it was the beginning, and now it is now, if you have difficulties in the future, we will definitely not stand idly by, but we can't let you take care of good things alone!"
