Chapter 43: Ding Wei with a headache

"Okay, you don't have to look at me, let's just eat!" Feeling the gaze of the soldiers, a little smile appeared on Liu Gen's face.

With Liu Gen's words from the company commander, the soldiers took their bowls and ate them in large gulps. Ordinary bone broth is not very delicious in the eyes of later generations, but every soldier in the artillery company is satisfied when they drink bone broth, and they like the taste of bone broth very much.

It would be better if they could drink bone broth every day, but the warriors knew that it was impossible. No matter how capable Liu Gen is, no matter how capable he is, it is impossible to get more pig bones? Pig bones are quite marketable in such a troubled era, unless they are butchers, ordinary people may not see any meat for a whole year.

Today's lunch, the fighters were very satisfied, everyone ate two bowls of rice, and there was no more. If you can eat two bowls of rice, the soldiers are already very satisfied, and there is still a nest in the bone broth, so you can still fill your stomach. Liu Gen didn't eat too much, he controlled the amount of food he ate, and after eating a bowl and a half, he stopped eating.

The three squad leaders of the artillery company also quietly chose to do this, and no one said this to them, but the three squad leaders still wanted the soldiers to eat more. The three squad leaders of the artillery company are all veterans, and they know what the situation of the soldiers under them is, and without sufficient physical training, the soldiers enter the battlefield and die easily.

Noticing this, Liu Gen was a little sad, the soldiers should have been able to eat enough, but due to various factors, the new regiment did not have so many material reserves, and it was impossible for the soldiers to eat enough on weekdays. It is only when fighting that every soldier can be fed, which makes people very helpless.

Not having enough to eat is common in all units of the Eighth Route Army, and eating grass roots and tree bark is even more common. The various units are trying to find a way to solve the problem of supply, and most of the troops rely on capture to maintain the supplies that the soldiers should have. It's just that the combat effectiveness of the devils is not weak, and not all troops have strong enough combat effectiveness like the new regiment, which also leads to more defeats and fewer victories in the battle with the devils.

Liu Gen shook his head, no longer thinking about this, he couldn't help anything else, the only thing he could do was to let his soldiers eat as much as possible, let the squad leader take the soldiers to train, and he found out the surrounding map.

The forces around the new regiment are somewhat complicated, there are enemies, me, pseudo-ones, stubborn and so on, and the devils cannot fight, and with the combat effectiveness of the artillery company, they cannot fight the devils' ideas. Moreover, Ding Wei, the new head of the regiment, has just arrived, and it is quite necessary to maintain sufficient stability of the new regiment. Even if the combat effectiveness of the new regiment is good, but if it dares to start a war with the devils, it is easy to attract the devils of the brigade to come, and it is impossible to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.

In the end, Liu Gen set his sights on the power of the puppet army, not far from the new regiment, there was a battalion of puppet troops stationed, which would be rotated every week, thinking that there would be a lot of supplies on the puppet army's side. Glancing at the time, today is Friday, and by Monday, the puppet army will rotate and carry out certain supplies.

Liu Gen can't do it if he rushes to send troops, and with the current combat effectiveness of the artillery company, it is a bit enough. A battalion of puppet troops will not be something that an artillery battery can deal with. The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not strong, but it is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will, Liu Gen wanted to ask Ding Wei if he could let the soldiers take the initiative to attack and get more materials for the soldiers to train.

There are a lot of new recruits in the new regiment, and if they take the initiative to attack, they can also exercise the combat effectiveness of the recruits, and only the recruits who have seen blood can become qualified soldiers.

Putting away the map, Liu Gen thought about what kind of benefits his artillery battery could get. If some supplies are captured, the artillery company will definitely be able to get a part, which will somewhat relieve the pressure on the artillery company and allow the soldiers to have more physical strength to train. However, he dared to choose to do something to the puppet army, Liu Gen didn't know if it was okay, and he needed to ask Ding Wei about these regiment commanders.

Just as Liu Gen was struggling with whether to go to Ding Wei, the regiment commander, he saw Ding Wei come to the artillery company with the guards, which surprised him.

"Commander, why did you come to our artillery company?" Liu Gen hurriedly got up, with a puzzled face.

Ding Wei laughed, he was not in a hurry to answer Liu Gen's question, but carefully looked at the soldiers in training before choosing to speak, "I watched it in the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion in the morning. That is, the second and third battalions, these two battalions have a little problem, and in terms of training intensity, the second and third battalions are somewhat weak. ”

"I came to your artillery company for training, and I found that the soldiers of your artillery company are also training quite hard, and their mental strength can be compared with that of a battalion. Genzi, you are decisive and capable, Lao Li put you in the position of the commander of the artillery company, or he has vision. ”

Liu Gen was a little puzzled, and didn't quite understand why Ding Wei would say this to himself, "Don't dare, our artillery company doesn't dare to compare with Battalion Commander Zhang's first battalion, Battalion Commander Zhang's ability is much stronger, and our artillery company still has many deficiencies." ”

"Okay, don't be modest, I see your training in my eyes, and in terms of training intensity, the training strength of your artillery company is almost the same as that of the first battalion." Ding Wei said with a smile.

Ding Wei looked around and could see the land that had been reclaimed by the soldiers, "Have you encountered any difficulties in reclaiming the wasteland?" If you have any, you can mention it, and the regiment headquarters will try to help you as much as possible. ”

"Asking your artillery company to do this kind of thing is also wronged by you, it is I, the regiment commander, who is useless, so that the soldiers have to do this kind of thing, and they can't focus all their energy on training."

Ding Wei's face was not very good-looking, and the guard behind him glanced at Liu Gen and wanted Liu Gen to persuade Ding Wei a few words. Ding Wei just came to the new regiment, and having such a problem has nothing to do with him. Besides, the situation of the new regiment is already very good, and it is considered to have a relatively thick foundation in the 129th Division.

"Commander, don't say that, it's not your fault, you can only blame the little devil."

"The soldiers are very satisfied, and they don't have any dissatisfaction with you, the regiment commander, everyone wants to train hard and kill devils on the battlefield." Liu Gen hurriedly spoke.

Ding Wei waved his hand and sighed, after carefully watching the training of the soldiers, he realized that there were also many problems in the new regiment. As the regiment commander, Ding Wei also knew why the training intensity of the second and third battalions could not be compared with the first battalion, in fact, it was very simple, the soldiers of the first battalion could eat enough, while the soldiers of the second battalion and the third battalion could only eat eighty percent full.

This situation occurred not because the regimental headquarters gave special treatment to the first battalion, but because the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, was very capable, prepared enough supplies for the first battalion early on, and from time to time took the soldiers to hunt some game. The second and third battalions are a little worse, and the supplies prepared are not very many, and if they want to hold on, the soldiers' rations will naturally not be too much.

"Genzi, where do you say you can get enough supplies?" Looking at Liu Gen, Ding Wei's eyes were full of expectation.
