Chapter 917: Action

Liao Fan finished arranging the tasks of all the troops, and then asked the commanders to repeat their orders, and only when each unit cooperated well could they reduce their losses!

"Okay, let's go back and prepare, when this battle is over, I will invite you to drink!"

After all of them had finished repeating the order, Liao Fan ordered them all to hurry back to their headquarters and prepare for the next battle, just waiting for the order, they were about to set off and act according to the plan.

"Shen Zhengwen wait!"

Liao Fan only left Shen Zhengwen at the command headquarters, the scale of this battle was too large, although he had been preparing for so long and had done a lot of reconnaissance, but Liao Fan couldn't ensure that his plan was foolproof, after all, the plan was his own idea, and Okamura Ningji had been famous for a long time, and he was not an idle person!

"Brother Fan, is there anything else?" Shen Zhengwen asked.

"You didn't say a word in the whole meeting, don't you have any ideas?"

Liao Fan's purpose in calling Shen Zhengwen to the headquarters was to make up for the loopholes in his plan, and Liao Fan didn't dare to say that his plan didn't have any flaws.

"Brother Fan, I haven't led troops to fight for a long time, although I manage a lot of people under my hands, but you also know that they don't rely on guns, they rely on brains, a group of literati."

Liao Fan didn't pay attention to Shen Zhengwen's military talent, so he transferred Shen Zhengwen to that post! On the contrary, Liao Fan attaches great importance to Shen Zhengwen, not only to Shen Zhengwen's military ability, but also to the knowledge he has, otherwise he would not have to let Shen Zhengwen come over when he held a combat meeting today.

"You don't have combat troops anymore, but people will not lose their abilities in some aspects, speak boldly, even if it's wrong!"

In fact, Liao Fan is very confident in his plan, but he needs a different suggestion, so that he can improve his plan as much as possible, once the battle starts, if there is a problem, it may take thousands or even tens of thousands of people to make up for this loophole, which is a huge loss for them.

"The plan is perfect, but ......" Shen Zhengwen was a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't know where to say it.

"But what? Just say! Liao Fan looked at Shen Wenzheng quietly, he needed Shen Zhengwen's different opinions!

"What if...... Okamura Ninji doesn't go from Baoding? Or that Okamura Ninji bypassed Commander Li's main force, and then directly inserted himself into Taihang Mountain from other places, and after taking Taihang Mountain, they turned around and fought against Li Weimin's troops! If this is the case, all our plans will be in vain, and the troops will have no operational goals! How should this battle be fought? ”

Liao Fan looked at Shen Zhengwen, he also knew that this situation would occur, and the probability of such a situation was not small, but Liao Fan still had to arrange the troops like this.

"You're right, in fact, I'm gambling with Okamura Ninji, and I'm gambling with all of our 500,000 troops Okamura Ninji!" After Liao Fan heard Shen Zhengwen's words, he no longer concealed himself at all!

The reason why several senior officers did not raise this issue at the meeting was because they were accustomed to Liao Fan's plan over the years, and they never thought that the Japanese army would attack Taihang Mountain from other directions! Liao Fan is gambling, and it is a big gamble, if the bet is right, this is definitely a hearty victory, if the bet is lost, everything in Taihang Mountain will come to naught.

"Brother Fan...... The price is too high, and if we lose, do you know the consequences? ”

"Of course I do! But I'm sure I won't lose! ”

"Why?" Shen Zhengwen didn't understand Liao Fan's self-confidence.

"If I were Okamura Ningji, I would also choose to leave from Baoding, just because the 500,000 army can't do without logistics guarantees!"

In fact, Liao Fan gambled on Okamura Ningci's logistics troops, Baoding is an important city in North China, and the surrounding transportation network extends in all directions, as long as they don't destroy the road, for Okamura Ningci's mobile troops, this is their best choice!

"And Okamura Ninji has already fought with us twice in the mountains, and none of them have been won, so this time Okamura Ninji will not risk entering the mountains easily, once he is dragged by the troops by us, in the absence of logistics, he will definitely not be able to hold out for much time! Only by destroying our main force outside the mountain as much as possible can the little devil boldly attack Taihang Mountain! ”

If the Japanese army does not attack Taihang Mountain, unless they completely abandon the logistics, Li Weimin will not stick to the same place, but go all out to attack and harass the logistics of the Japanese army, and the 500,000 troops without logistics will be dragged to death by them, and Okamura Ningji will not do such a stupid thing.

"What if...... What if the Japanese army in these places also attacks us? Shen Zhengwen pointed to the map, there was not only the Pingjin area around their defense area, but there were also Japanese troops in other directions, if they united to attack their defense area, their defense area would be encroached upon.

"Don't forget, I also have a guard division!" The only unit in Liao Fan's hands that can move is only one guard division, "I will also contact the headquarters of Li Zongren in the Fifth War Zone, presumably General Li will not sit idly by!" Moreover, on the Shandong side, the Eighth Route Army, they have begun to develop their own troops! ”

As long as it is an anti-Japanese issue, Taihang Mountain has never been alone, despite the differences in party and forces, when the country is in danger, anti-Japanese resistance is their unanimous choice! No general will put personal and partisan disputes before the national interest, which is more important than anything else.

"Taihang Mountain is also a soldier for all the people!" Liao Fan saw that Shen Zhengwen was slow to speak, there were many militiamen in Taihang Mountain, although they were not fully trained and had no battlefield experience, but in the crisis of Taihang Mountain, there was no need to give them orders, they would also take the initiative to pick up guns to protect their homes.

"I don't have a problem anymore!"

Shen Zhengwen smiled with relief, he could doubt Liao Fan, but he would not doubt the determination of the people of Taihang Mountain to protect their hometown!

"In that case, why don't you stay at Command during this time?"

Liao Fan wanted to leave Shen Zhengwen in the command headquarters, although he already had Li Lingfei as a helper, but at this time, one more helper would be one less mistake, not to mention that Shen Zhengwen's military ability was good, and he would definitely be able to help.

"Brother Fan, can you let me go back and arrange it first? There's a lot going on on my side! ”

Shen Zhengwen was also happy to come to the headquarters to help, Taihang Mountain mobilized all the troops to fight a decisive battle with the last Japanese army in North China, an unprecedented scale, he also wanted to be one of them!

"Okay, I'll give you two days, report to the headquarters the night after tomorrow, you don't have to bring anything, I'll prepare the room for you!" Liao Fan happily patted Shen Zhengwen on the shoulder!

In the next time, Liao Fan naturally had to contact the Eighth Route Army and the Fifth War Zone to help, before this upcoming strategic counteroffensive, everyone wanted to be the protagonist once, but obviously this time there was only one protagonist, that is, the troops of Taihang Mountain! But in terms of supporting roles, there are naturally no shortage of people!

After receiving a telegram from Taihang Mountain asking for help, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army discussed the matter overnight and replied to Liao Fan that they would arrange for the entire guerrillas in Shandong to carry out large-scale attacks and harassment of the Japanese army!

Not to be outdone, General Li Zongren expressed his willingness to take the troops of the Fifth Theater to put pressure on the front line and put pressure on the Japanese army, although it may not necessarily launch a counterattack against the Japanese army, but it can guarantee that a large part of the Japanese army will be delayed!

For Liao Fan, no matter whether the Eighth Route Army and the Fifth War Zone helped them or not, they had to fight this battle, after all, if Okamura Ningji had been stuck in the Pingjin area, he would be able to hold back a large part of their troops! Of course, if Okamura Ningji didn't like them at all this time and hid in the Pingjin area to be a good child, Liao Fan had no choice but to pin his hopes of recovering the Northeast in the Daxinganling area.

In the defense area, all kinds of means of transportation are running, trucks, ox carts, and even small carts, transporting troops, transporting materials, and the people know that Taihang Mountain is going to fight with the Japanese army again, although they don't know where the battlefield is, but the people consciously join the ranks of transporting materials!

Although local warfare is easy to be controlled by the enemy, it also has a huge advantage, that is, although the common people do not understand the national righteousness in the books, they have in their hearts that the country can die to their own people, but not to the Japanese invaders!

Hundreds of thousands of people helped the army transport supplies, which could not be hidden from the eyes of the little devil scout, Okamura Ningji, who was far away in Beiping, learned the news, and he knew that the day he was waiting for was very close!

"Order our troops to distribute war materiel and prepare for battle!" Now that Taihang Mountain has begun to transport war materials, they also have to mobilize, as long as the troops of Taihang Mountain get on the train, they will open the road to Taihang Mountain as soon as possible, and completely erase Taihang Mountain from the map.

The news of the various units came one after another, they have prepared the corresponding materials, and a large part of the combat materials of the Taihang Mountain have been transported by railway line to the material supply point established in the Taihang Mountain on the west side of the Daxing'an Mountains!

"It's time, let Lao Hu and them move first, and all the troops will withdraw from the defense area and enter Taiyuan! After Hu Guoshan and them evacuated, let Li Weimin arrange for troops to take over their defense area! ”

In order to make Okamura Ningji feel at ease, they must have troops go to the northeast first, and after a real exchange of fire with the Japanese army, Okamura Ningji can be sure that Taihang Mountain is really attacking the Japanese army in the northeast!

After receiving the order, Hu Guoshan gave an order, all the troops got on the car and began to rush to Taiyuan, take the train directly to the west side of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and then stationed in the Great Khing'an Mountains, only there were enough Chinese troops there, Okamura Ningji would definitely launch an attack on the Taihang Mountains at all costs.
