Hu Guoshan scratched his head embarrassedly and looked at Liao Fan and said: "Brother Fan, I was scared in the last battle, if I don't hide some troops, in case I encounter the situation last time, our three regiments will really get smaller and smaller." Bayi?? Chinese???.? 8?1(8)Z?(a).? C(viii)O(viii)M?"

After the little devil attacked Taihang Mountain last time, Hu Guoshan was wounded, and the three regiments had almost no combat effectiveness, after the little devils retreated, Hu Guoshan personally found Liao Fan and asked to compress the establishment of the three regiments to temporarily stabilize the three regiments, and it was precisely because of Liao Fan's disagreement and Hu Guoshan's perseverance that the three regiments had what they are today.

"Your two regiments have incorporated a large number of puppet troops, and you must be especially careful in this operation, and you must not be careless!" Liao Fan did not reproach Hu Guoshan for blindly expanding his troops, because in today's situation, the expansion of so many troops by the Third Regiment can just reduce the pressure on all sides.

Hearing Liao Fan's words, Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan understood what Liao Fan meant, although the Japanese spies have not taken action recently, but once the 33rd Independent Division takes action this time, the spies will definitely not sit on the cold bench and do nothing, once they move, it is likely to be a fatal blow to the two regiments.

"Our second regiment now has only 4,500 people, and it is fully equipped with weapons and equipment, but we still have to guard the exit from the north into the mountain, and I plan to leave 800 people to guard the garrison!" Li Weimin reported to Liao Fan.

Although the 2nd Regiment has the initiative near the mountain pass, the little devils have also deployed a lot of troops on the periphery of the mountain pass, and once the little devils' defense at the mountain pass is weakened, the little devils from the north will inevitably attack them and recapture the mountain pass outside the Beitai Peak, so that all the recent efforts of the 2nd Regiment will be in vain.

"Little Lizi, don't hide it, we've all heard recently that your kid has built a cavalry battalion, and it's beginning to be combative." Hu Guoshan said to Li Weimin.

It is no secret that the second regiment formed a cavalry battalion among the other three regiment commanders, after all, their war horses were all separated from the second regiment, and there was also Chu Pengtian's big mouth, each unit walked around, plus the equipment on his body, Hu Guoshan knew that the second regiment would definitely form a cavalry battalion after thinking about it.

"Lao Hu, you can't help it when you look red, if you have the ability, you can get a cavalry regiment, I believe that Brother Fan will definitely not say anything!" Running against the principle that the enemy of the enemy is his friend, Ma Wanzhong immediately smiled at Hu Guoshan and said.

Hu Guoshan was beaten by Ma Wanzhong like this, and he really had nothing to say, after all, the war horses of the second regiment were captured by fighting with the little devils, and several of them also got benefits from it, and they didn't want the benefits they got from fighting in peacetime, they were all hidden by themselves, and where would they share them with other regiments.

"What about the Fourth Regiment?" Liao Fan ignored the bickering between Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan and asked Liu Chundao.

Liao Fan also had high hopes for the Fourth Regiment, but in a battle at Beitaifeng, although Liu Chundao fought beautifully, the Fourth Regiment also lost a lot of troops, and even almost folded all the troops into it.

Liu Chundao felt Liao Fan's eager gaze, he didn't dare to look up at Liao Fan's eyes, the exhibition of the four regiments relied on Li Weimin's help to get today's results.

"Our four regiments have only 2,500 troops, there is still a lack of recruit training, the commander's command experience is also insufficient, and the most important thing is that no one can take on the heavy responsibility of battalion commander!" Liu Chundao said honestly.

Since the establishment of the Fourth Regiment, the only big battle that can be done is the sneak attack on the artillery position of the little devil outside Beitai Peak, or he, the regiment commander, has such a record as a soldier, and the officers under Liu Chundao's command have already shown their faces if they can be a company commander. Although the Fourth Regiment selected a group of officers to be sent to the Taihang Mountain Military Academy to study, not to mention the limited teaching conditions of the Taihang Mountain Military Academy, many officers of the Fourth Regiment could write their own names and still came to the school to find those teachers to teach.

The situation of the second and fourth regiments did not exceed Liao Fan's expectations, and the rapid expansion of the first and third regiments did make Liao Fan feel a little shocked.

After the four regiment commanders revealed each other, Liao Fan also began to realize the true combat effectiveness of the 33rd Independent Division, which alone had nearly 20,000 people in combat units, not counting the 1,500 people in the reconnaissance battalion, divisional artillery battalion and special combat team who were on duty outside.

An army, Liao Fan couldn't imagine that this battle could be won no matter how it was fought. If Gangcun Ningci knew that there was an army hiding in Taihang Mountain at this time, he would also shout:!

Now that we have the combat effectiveness of each unit, the next step is, of course, to deploy specific combat missions, and combat missions must be specifically assigned to each unit; this is something that Liao Fan must say in every battle; only when the specific combat tasks of each company are clearly defined and the orders are carried out, will the various units not have the result of being unable to lose their tails.

"Command!"

Hearing Liao Fan shout the word order, the people in the command headquarters all consciously stood facing Liao Fan, quietly listening to the task that Liao Fan was going to assign to them!

"Since the three regiments have such troops, you are responsible for the Japanese troops in Heshun County and Xiyang County, and once the combat purpose is achieved, immediately destroy all the roads within your control!" The third regiment has so many troops, and it must be a piece of cake in Hu Guoshan's eyes to take down only two county towns, and this guy also has an artillery company in his hand, saying that it is an artillery company, it is almost catching up with the artillery battalion led by Liao Jundong, but it is just a step worse than the soldiers of the artillery battalion in terms of training.

"The combat effectiveness of a regiment is not weak, Pingding County will be handed over to you, and you Ma Wanzhong also knows the specific combat mission, no matter whether the puppet army can rebel or not, you will also block the Japanese army in Taiyuan and Yangquan north of Pingding County if you dare to let go of a soldier and a foot, you don't have to be the commander of the regiment!" Liao Fan's words were very plain, but they revealed a sternness.

"Brother Fan, don't worry, if you can't complete the mission, a regiment of soldiers will definitely not come back alive to see you!" Ma Wanzhong swore to Liao Fan and promised him.

"The second regiment first used the strength of two battalions to cooperate with the cavalry battalion to attack Dingxiang, and strive to take down Dingxiang in one go, if you can't take it, you can't make the Japanese army in Dingxiang feel better, your purpose is to contain the Japanese army in Xinzhou, and you can't let them go south!" Liao Fan pointed to the map and said to Li Weimin, "The second regiment has cavalry, you must swing out the degree advantage, and when the little devil reacts, your saber must be driven to the neck of the little devil." ”

"The remaining forces of the second regiment, attacking Yu County, the purpose is to relieve the pressure of the first regiment in pacifying the county seat, once the little devil attacks the county seat with all his might, you can choose the time to attack Yangquan, so that the pressure of the regiment will be much less!"

"As for the fourth regiment, leave five hundred people stationed in Feihuling, and the rest of the troops will be stationed in the area of Shimen as a reserve until they receive other orders! Give you a day to prepare, and the day after tomorrow at half past nine all troops must arrive at their designated positions and attack at ten o'clock! ”

Among the four regiments, the strength of the four regiments is the weakest, Liao Fan does not want to put them at the forefront, but the area around Shimen is also a crucial position, if the Japanese army sneaks into Shimen and takes control of Shimen, the first and third regiments will never return to Taihang Mountain.

After all the troops received their orders, Liao Fan announced the dismissal of the meeting, and after the four regiment commanders left, only Sun Boyong and Liao Fan were left in the headquarters.

"Old Sun, is there any pressure on the logistics department?" Liao Fan looked at Sun Boyong, and he didn't say a word during the entire combat meeting.

"Brother Fan, can we requisition a batch of cattle from the people of Taihang Mountain?" Sun Boyong looked at Liao Fan's eyes and said.

Liao Fan wondered, what tricks Sun Boyong was going to do: "What do you do with cows?" ”

"Brother Fan, there are many mountain roads in Taihang Mountain, of course cattle are better than cars, and besides, we don't have cars, so of course we can't just rely on the soldiers of our logistics department to carry them on their shoulders!" Sun Boyong knew that there must be a lot of materials consumed in this operation, and if the battle plan was successful, and the three county towns were taken, of course, the materials needed to be transported back to Taihang Mountain were indispensable, and in order to reduce the pressure, it was most convenient to use ox carts.

Liao Fan understood Sun Boyong's thoughts, nodded and agreed with Sun Boyong's opinion: "I must make it clear to the fellow villagers, there is borrowing and repayment, if there is a loss, we will compensate them with money, but there is one point who dares to take advantage of this time to oppress the people, don't blame me Liao Fan turned his face and didn't recognize people." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Fan, if you dare to make a mistake this time, my Sun Boyong will also skin him! I have one more request, though! Sun Boyong said with a grin.

Liao Fan gave him a blank look, since this guy managed logistics, his speech has become more and more abrasive: "Don't grind and chirp, there is something to say and fart!" ”

"Brother Fan, there are not so many troops in the Shimen area, can you transfer a battalion of troops from the fourth regiment to protect our logistics line?"

Since he knew that there were spies in the troops, Sun Boyong did not dare to be careless, the entire logistics was related to the operation at the front, and once there was a problem with the logistics, the ammunition supply at the front could not be supplied, and all the battle plans would be ruined.

Liao Fan patted his head, and after Sun Boyong's reminder, he remembered that there was still this stubble.

"Transfer a battalion from the fourth regiment, and then I will transfer a small detachment of soldiers from the special combat team to patrol the logistics transportation line, but you have to be careful, the plane in the sky of the little devil is not vegetarian, arrange a few more routes, so that the little devil can't figure out which transportation route is real!"

The war is about logistics, and although the 33rd Independent Division is fighting at home, Liao Fan does not dare to be careless.

As soon as Sun Boyong left the headquarters, Yan Xuelin came to the headquarters, and he came over at noon today, but there was a military meeting in the headquarters, so Yan Xuelin had to go back again, and when he heard that Ma Wanzhong and they had left, Yan Xuelin rushed over.

"Brother Fan, a detachment carried out a raid on Elm Village, but only caught an insignificant agent, and the other important members all ran away, as if they sensed something!" Yan Xuelin reported to Liao Fan about the tracking of the spies, and finally got some clues, but when the first detachment arrived, Yushu Village really became an empty village.
