Chapter 835: Little Happiness
In the hometown of the Northeast that has been away for many years, Ma Wanzhong really thinks about it, where is not only his home, but also the memories of his youth, and where there are many of his parents and fellow villagers.
But there are only a few brothers who have been able to get to where they are today, and none of their bodies can be buried in that black land.
"No way!"
Liao Fan was firm in his thoughts, the first batch of troops to go to the Northeast must not be too many. Liao Fan was not only worried that after Ma Wanzhong left, no one would command the troops in Taihang Mountain, but also that Ma Wanzhong was worried about the safety of going to the northeast.
After all, there were not many troops behind the enemy, and it was an important defensive area for the Japanese army, if there were not many troops, the first batch of troops going to the northeast would definitely encounter a lot of trouble, and even Liao Fan was ready for their total annihilation.
"Brother Fan, do you have a more suitable candidate?" Among the candidates for the Northeast, Ma Wanzhong couldn't think of a more suitable person than himself.
Liao Fan came to Ma Wanzhong to discuss this matter: "Aren't there still a few soldiers of the Northeast Army who came with you in our army?" I heard that some of them have already become regimental leaders! ”
Although Liao Fan does not say that he is all-encompassing about the situation of his troops, at least he knows very well, the soldiers of the Northeast Army who came over with Ma Wanzhong, although they sacrificed a lot in the war, but those who survived have become regiment commanders and battalion commanders, and they have held important positions in the new 33rd Army, Liao Fan thought that it would be enough to arrange for one of them to go to the Northeast.
"Brother Fan, as far as their few goods, I know them better than you, it's okay to let them lead the troops to charge, but it's impossible to let a few of them go to the northeast to develop our forces, and when the War of Resistance Against Japan is over, they may not be able to develop!"
Ma Wanzhong knows his brothers very well, and when there are not many things to do, they occasionally get together to chat, and these people are already very mature in the military, but if they want to develop alone, it is really not that Ma Wanzhong underestimates them. I am afraid that there are not many people in the entire New 33rd Army who can really take up this task.
Liao Fan thought about it carefully, what Ma Wanzhong said was not unreasonable, going deep behind enemy lines to develop forces is not just a matter of fighting a few battles with little devils, it is necessary to develop the local people, not only to serve the army, but also to let them have their own consciousness of resistance.
"Brother Fan, I also know that going deep behind enemy lines to develop our forces is not as simple as in Taihang Mountain, and there are many dangers encountered, but Brother Fan, you believe me, in the new 33rd Army, there are not many people who can take on this important task except for a few of us!"
The Northeast is Ma Wanzhong's hometown, but if you want to develop, it is not enough to rely on this place to be your hometown, Ma Wanzhong does have this ability. But in the same way, if Ma Wanzhong is allowed to go to the northeast, then who should command the troops left behind.
"Old Ma, let you go to the northeast to develop, but there are tens of thousands of brothers in your division, they can't all follow you to the northeast, who will command them?"
It is very important to go to the northeast for development, but we cannot tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and the lack of one of the four main divisions of the new 33 rd Army is a relatively big trouble for the new 33 rd Army, especially when the international situation is turbulent this year, the new 33 rd Army does not advance but retreats, which is tantamount to digging a grave for itself.
"There is no shortage of officers in our new 33rd Army, such as the commander of the new 33rd Army, he has not held an important position since he came to our new 33rd Army, I believe that as long as he is given a platform, the team he brings out will definitely be better than the team I brought out! There are also Deputy Division Commander Tian and Chief of Staff Li, they have no problem at all with a division of troops, on the contrary, there are very few people who can go to the Northeast! ”
Ma Wanzhong is right, although the new 33rd Army still lacks officers on the surface, there are no longer a few capable officers in the high-level, but the development of the new 33rd Army is from the hands of these old people, Liao Fan does not want to replace the old people, and then replace them with new commanders, after all, it is Ma Wanzhong who is easy to use!
Although the development of the troops is a replacement of old and new ones, the replacement of veterans with new ones will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Liao Fan hesitated, what Ma Wanzhong said made a lot of sense, but the new 33rd Army really needed Ma Wanzhong, Liao Fan was in a dilemma and didn't know how to choose!
"If you leave, to whom will the command of the troops be given?" Liao Fan was shaken!
Ma Wanzhong showed a smile on his face: "Cun Qi has been in our Taihang Mountain for a long time, and I also know that Brother Fan has been inspecting him, but people come with the heart of serving the motherland, and we can't put people on the cold bench, so people's hearts will be cold!" ”
"Originally, Cun Qi was a division commander in the Yunnan Army, although we do have a lot more troops in a division than imagined, but after all, he is a veritable division commander, born in a professional class, capable and has combat experience, and he still has the ability to lead a division of ours!" Ma Wanzhong recommended Cun Qi, believing that he could lead the troops well.
"You know my worries!" Liao Fan looked at Ma Wanzhong and said seriously.
"Of course I know, Brother Fan, I believe in Commander Cun, and I also believe in our own soldiers! I didn't come from the puppet army at the beginning, Brother Fan, you don't care about the past suspicions, and hand over the troops to my command! ”
Ma Wanzhong knew why Liao Fan had not handed over the actual leadership of the troops to Cun Qi, and to be honest, he still trusted it, after all, Cun Qi was originally in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the current national army had treated the new 33rd Army differently, so Liao Fan naturally had to guard against it.
Liao Fan nodded and agreed with Ma Wanzhong's statement: "But there is one thing I want to tell you, if you really want to go to the Northeast, I can't let you bring more people there, I can give you a regiment of troops at most for you to take away, after all, the Northeast is not like Taihang Mountain, the road is far away, and the materials from Taihang Mountain cannot be transported over, everything can only be relied on by yourself!" ”
"Brother Fan, I know this, Taihang Mountain was also poor and white at the beginning, there was nothing, in less than two years, we had everything! When you get to Tohoku, I won't let you down! Ma Wanzhong is full of confidence.
In fact, the reputation of the New 33rd Army in the whole country has been beaten, and it must be easier than when Liao Fan first came to Taihang Mountain, and the land in the Northeast is vast, and they don't want Taihang Mountain to be their home, so they can't take a step back! And in the Northeast, if they really encounter hard stubble, they can transfer at any time, and the overall situation is much better than the original Taihang Mountain.
"Okay! Since you have confidence, and I have confidence, I will give you the strength and equipment of a regiment, hurry up and train, and I will give you orders as soon as things are settled! ”
There must be a suitable time to march into the Northeast, of course not now, now the Japanese army is still depositing a large number of troops in the Northeast, and letting Ma Wanzhong go to the Northeast at this time is tantamount to sending him to death.
However, everything must be prepared in advance, the training of the troops and the materials needed to enter the Northeast.
"I see, Brother Fan!"
"List the military supplies you need in advance, go to Sun Boyong to ask for it, remember that you have to think about everything in advance, everything will depend on you after you arrive, we can't help anything!"
When you arrive in the Northeast, don't talk about anything else, just one winter, if you are not prepared, the soldiers will freeze to death, resulting in non-combat attrition, morale is low, not to mention the development of forces, there is no way to fight.
"And write a general schedule, I'm going to see him on my desk early tomorrow, if you can't write it, don't go this time!"
Liao Fan knows very well that this is an operation to go deep into the tiger's den, even if the plan can't catch up with the changes in the future, at least there is a schedule, and he won't be too flustered when there is a problem.
After the Japanese army makes a move against the magnesium country, Liao Fan will also order the soldiers of the special operations division to go north to carry out the mission, and once the mission goal is achieved, the Japanese army and the Soviet Union will also do it!
In the Chinese battlefield, the Pacific theater, the Far East theater, and the Southeast Asian theater, the Japanese army will inevitably draw troops from the northeast to supplement the various battlefields, and when the time comes, the Japanese army in the northeast will be empty, and the situation that Ma Wanzhong and they will face after arriving in the northeast will inevitably be much better than now.
After everything was prepared, Liao Fan waited for the little devil to sit still and give a shot to the ass of the magnesium people, as long as the little devil made a move, he would also do it to the Japanese army, even if the Japanese army had great ability, it was estimated that it would not be able to cope with the war in so many places, and then the new 33rd Army would not only march into the northeast, but also launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese army in North China.
Of course, waiting is the hardest thing to endure, after all, the opportunity is in an instant, if you can't catch it this time, I'm afraid there will be no next chance.
In the hospital, Liao Fan was lying on Fu Hongyu's lap, and the series of arrangements in the past few days made him feel very tired, mainly because everyone was afraid that everyone would have to go their separate ways in the future. The country has become like this, the military bears a great responsibility, and if the country is not stable, how can they get together.
When China is stable and the people live in peace, they will naturally come back one day!
"Now that the hospital has taken shape, otherwise you won't be a doctor!" Liao Fan said to Fu Hongyu.
Liao Fan mainly felt that the doctor's job was still too tired, after a battle, thousands of wounded people were waiting for treatment, and now there is no shortage of doctors in Taihang Mountain, but many things in the hospital also have to be managed by Hongyu, and the work is a bit too heavy for a woman.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm most worried about you now, if you have something to do, you have to run on the front line, and the bullets don't grow eyes on the battlefield!"
Two people have regarded each other as their own family, an inseparable part of their lives, and it is really a happiness to be able to find a person they love to stay with for a lifetime in this era.
"Don't worry, now your man is hugging him when he goes out, where is it so easy to get hurt!" Liao Fan showed off in front of Fu Hongyu.
