For the current performance of the mine protection team, Shen Zhengwen didn't dare to take all the credit on his head, he had just managed the troops not long ago, and a brand-new commander took care of the troops so well, no one believed it.

However, Liao Fan believed that Shen Zhengwen was the real commander of the mine protection team, just as the real command of the New 33rd Army was in Liao Fan's hands, and Liao Fan's order was the final order.

"The mine protection team is doing a good job, some things should have been realized earlier in the new 33rd Army, but the soldiers have gone to the battlefield, and it is impossible for a large part of me to come back, so I have lowered my requirements for the soldiers!"

Shen Zhengwen looked at Liao Fan's appearance and was a little confused for a while, he didn't know what Liao Fan meant by this, could it be that he was too strict with the soldiers?

"Brother Fan, could it be that I did something wrong again?"

Liao Fan frowned slightly, knowing that Shen Zhengwen had misunderstood what he meant: "No! You're doing a great job, and that's exactly what I want to do! After Shen Zhengwen heard Liao Fan's words, he breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that he had done something wrong, as long as he did it right, he would definitely be able to persevere.

"How's the training of the fighters?"

Now Liao Fan has confirmed that the situation of the mine protection team has not been exaggerated by Ma Wanzhong, and he is very relieved. But as a military commander, what we should be more concerned about is combat effectiveness, at least Hu Guoshan's sentence is correct, in war, the combat effectiveness of a unit is more important than discipline.

"Brother Fan, I'll take you to see them!"

In terms of combat effectiveness, Shen Zhengwen has no confidence, after he and Ma Wanzhong's regimental military exercises, he knows what is the gap in combat effectiveness, those veteran soldiers and recruits who have been on the battlefield for a long time complement each other, although the veterans of the mine protection team account for the majority, but they do not have such skillful cooperation.

Perfect cooperation is not necessarily something that can be made up for through training, especially in a unit like the mine protection team, which is dominated by veteran oil, these veteran oilers are above the top and no one looks down on anyone, so although everyone is polite on the surface, but secretly they have been working harder, and no one is convinced.

How can such a soldier cooperate well, and Liao Fan's other troops are different, veterans lead new soldiers, recruits obey veterans, even veterans have a deep friendship between them, this friendship is fought from the battlefield, they can rest assured to hand over their backs to each other.

On the other hand, the mine guards were originally a group of soldiers who had been captured from all over the country, and they had been soldiers for a while, and since they were captured, they had been working day and night in the mines, and they had long lost hope of survival.

For these veteran oilers, especially the veteran oilers who have put life and death aside, managing this group of people is the most troublesome thing, Liao Fan was not optimistic about Shen Zhengwen at first, but now Shen Zhengwen manages them in an orderly manner.

Accompanied by Shen Zhengwen, Liao Fan and the others came to the training ground, as long as the soldiers who did not have a task were trained on the training ground!

Although it seems that the training is in full swing, Liao Fan can see at a glance that there are many soldiers who are doing superficial kung fu and have no serious training at all!

Shen Zhengwen looked at the changing expression on Liao Fan's face and was a little embarrassed, for the current matter of the mine protection team, he, the commander, also knew best, and was also the most helpless, so far, he has not found a suitable solution.

First, these soldiers did not violate military orders, and second, these soldiers were also training, and Shen Zhengwen had no way to punish them at all.

"That's a good unit!"

After walking around, Liao Fan saw that a unit was stepping up training, and the cooperation of the soldiers was much better than that of other troops, which made Liao Fan's eyes shine!

This unit is all recruits, that is, the benchmark unit specially selected by Shen Zhengwen, this is the only unit that Shen Zhengwen has taken advantage of, and they strictly follow Shen Zhengwen's requirements in training, without the slightest discount.

For this benchmark, Shen Zhengwen also specially asked several coaches from Ma Wanzhong to train them.

But although the benchmark is the benchmark, those veterans have policies and countermeasures, and it is more than enough to cope with the training! Although they were jealous of the positions of officers at all levels in Shen Zhengwen's hands, they also knew that the mine protection team was a very inconspicuous unit of the New 33rd Army, and there was no way out if they were squeezed out.

Although the benchmark troops are doing well, they are still far behind in Liao Fan's eyes, after all, the cooperation of the soldiers on the battlefield is quite important, and in the absence of sufficient fire support, it is still necessary to rely on the soldiers to charge with their lives!

"Brother Fan, I heard that the army is going to fight a big battle?" Shen Zhengwen asked Liao Fan.

"Where did you hear that?"

All the actions of the army are kept secret, and those who do not know must not know, no matter how high your rank and position are, they should not know.

"A few days ago, I went to Jingcheng to buy something, and by the way, I went to see Commander Ma, I saw that the troops were moving, so I guessed that the troops were going to fight again, can you bring our mine protection team this time?"

Shen Zhengwen said that the battlefield is the best experience for the troops, as long as they go to the battlefield, Shen Zhengwen believes that these veterans will definitely change, because they know that if they don't change, they will wait for death.

Liao Fan didn't believe Li Weimin's reason, Ma Wanzhong's troops had been transferred to Beitai Peak a long time ago, and now Shen Zhengwen said that when he encountered the transfer of troops, how could he hide it from Liao Fan, Liao Fan even believed that this matter was likely to be Ma Wanzhong's idea to Shen Zhengwen.

"No, the job of the mine protection team is to protect the mining area! There are no other combat missions! "Liao Fan will not transfer such a unit to the front line, this is not only irresponsible to the mine protection team, but also irresponsible to all the soldiers on the front line.

But Shen Zhengwen didn't give up, this was an opportunity for the mine protection team to come out, if this opportunity was missed, the mine protection team might have to wait for a long time or never wait for the next opportunity.

So Shen Zhengwen wanted to fight for this opportunity to lead the troops to the battlefield, but Liao Fan didn't agree at all.

But opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

"There is one thing, let me ask your opinion, you come back to the command with me, there is a lack of staff officers in the headquarters!"

After coming to the mine protection team this time, Liao Fan did have some changes to Shen Zhengwen, so he wanted to transfer Shen Zhengwen back to the military department, and he should be a good staff officer with less study in the future!

When Shen Zhengwen heard that Liao Fan was going to transfer him back to the military headquarters, a trace of excitement flashed on his face, but after a while, this joy disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Fan, who will lead the mine protection team?" Shen Zhengwen thought of the mine protection team.

"I'll find a suitable person to be the captain of the mine protection team, as long as you ......"

"No, I can't go!"

Before Liao Fan could finish speaking, Shen Zhengwen immediately rejected Liao Fan's opinion. Under his leadership, the mine protection team has finally come to the present, if he leaves now, a new captain will come, and the mine protection team will definitely become something else, which is what Shen Zhengwen does not want to see.

"You can think about it again, maybe the job of a staff officer is more suitable for you!"

"Don't think about this matter, I won't leave the mine protection team, even if they can't even defeat the puppet army in the future, I won't leave the mine protection team!"

The mine protection team is the first unit led by Shen Zhengwen, before the mine protection team is really brought out, Shen Zhengwen will not give up halfway, even if they can't go to the battlefield in the future, Shen Zhengwen can train them into a guard of honor!

In the face of Shen Zhengwen's insistence, Liao Fan was helpless, although he could issue a military order for Shen Zhengwen to report to the military headquarters, but he could not force Shen Zhengwen to do the work of a staff officer.

If Shen Zhengwen arrived at the command headquarters, like Xu Shu entering Cao Ying, and didn't say a word, then Shen Zhengwen would be really ruined. Liao Fan didn't force Shen Zhengwen, but just told Shen Zhengwen to train the troops well, maybe one day they would really go to the battlefield.

For the mine protection team, Liao Fan also hopes to develop well, after all, this is also a unit of the New 33rd Army, and as a commander, there is no one who does not want his troops to be good.

However, the resources of the new 33rd Army are too limited, and there are too few things that can be given to the mine protection team, even if there are redundant officers, Liao Fan cannot give the mine protection team, so there is no way for the mine protection team to be like this now.

In the end, Shen Zhengwen still did not leave the mine protection team, and Liao Fan did not force it, and went to Jingcheng that night.

Jing Cheng is now the center of Ma Wanzhong's headquarters, and of course his defense is impregnable, so he doesn't have to worry about security.

When he arrived at Jingcheng, it was already late at night, and when Liao Fan walked to Ma Wanzhong's headquarters, he heard the sound of Didi telegrams coming from the headquarters.

At present, the new 33rd Army division has been assigned telegraph operators, bidding farewell to the era when communications were all based on roaring, although there are only two telegraph operators, but they have been able to ensure communication between the divisions.

Liao Fan was very happy about every small progress of the troops, and they had to make great efforts before they took a small step.

After Liao Fan came to Jingcheng, it still seemed that he would find a place to sleep casually, and let Ma Wanzhong arrange a place for Lu Liming and them to sleep.

After a tiring day, Liao Fan was already tired, lying on the bed in the headquarters and dozing off.

But Ma Wanzhong was not tired, and sat in front of Liao Fan and waited for Liao Fan's order.

"It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" Liao Fan lay on the bed and watched Ma Wanzhong staring at him directly, his whole body was hairy, thinking that this guy would not have any intentions for himself.

"Brother Fan, you didn't come here this big night just to sleep, right?"

Ma Wanzhong didn't believe that Liao Fan came to Jingcheng to sleep, because Liao Fan is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, as long as he finds a place for him, as long as Liao Fan wants to sleep, he can fall asleep.

"Okay, I'm getting smarter, I'm here to enjoy you, it's not early, you can go to rest early, you don't need you to stand guard for me!" Liao Fan looked at Ma Wanzhong, and beat the drum in his heart, although he is not a yellow flower, but at least he still has the most temperance.
