"Commander, you're finally back, and if you don't come back, I don't know what to do." When the deputy division commander saw Division Commander He coming back, there was obvious joy on his face.

Division Commander He looked at the deputy division commander with some doubts, he didn't understand what the deputy division commander was doing, he knew his deputy division commander very well, unless there was really a problem, he wouldn't be like this. Master He looked at Xiao Li on the side, and could see that Xiao Li's face was also a little indescribable, noticing this, Master He realized that something should have happened.

His eyes fell on Liu Gen, and Master He found that Liu Gen was very calm, which made him more and more curious, what happened?

"Comrade Liu Gen, can I ask what happened?" Master He sat down and asked with a smile.

Liu Gen nodded, and directly opened his mouth to tell Master He what happened, he didn't think there was anything, and it was not a glorious thing to defeat Xue Bing in the competition.

As Liu Gen spoke, Master He's gaze at Liu Gen became strange. He found that he still underestimated Liu Gen a little after all. Even if Master He knew that Liu Gen's ability was very strong, he never thought that Liu Gen would be able to defeat Xue Bing easily, he may not know enough about Liu Gen, but he knows Xue Bing very well.

Master He clearly knew that Xue Bing was leaving, and it was precisely because of this that he looked at Liu Gen with a little shock, who would have thought that Liu Gen, who looked thin, could easily defeat Xue Bing?

"Comrade Liu Gen, now I also want to know how you usually train." Master He said helplessly.

Liu Gen smiled bitterly, he knew that something like this would happen, but what could he say? According to the amount of training he trains every day, if there are really fighters who train according to him, then they will not be able to reach the point where he is at all, and it is even very likely that they will cause problems with their bodies during training.

Not everyone has such a strong physical fitness as Liu Gen, and even if they have a physical fitness like him, they can't insist on training as Liu Gen every day.

"Commander He, it's not that I want to hide it, it's really that my training is not much different from other fighters, the only difference is that the intensity of training is different." Liu Gen opened his mouth and said seriously.

Master He nodded, he didn't suspect that Liu Gen was lying, if there was any special training method, then Liu Gen would definitely have come up with it a long time ago. For Liu Gen, Master He believes very much, and being able to get the strong respect of Commander Liu of the 129th Division and the trust of the bosses of the headquarters is enough to show that Liu Gen has no problems.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I reported to the bosses of the headquarters that they wanted you to be the commander of our 120th Division, but the bosses directly refused."

"I can understand what the bosses think, they don't want you to stay in our 120th Division, unlike the other two divisions of our Eighth Route Army, our 120th Division has fought less battles with devils, to be precise, there are fewer large-scale battles. After all, our 120th Division has the important task of protecting Yan'an, and we can't let any problems arise in Yan'an. ”

"But at my request, the bosses still decided to let you serve as the staff officer of our 120th Division, so that you can maximize your ability." Master He said seriously.

Division Commander He still has some regrets, he really wants Liu Gen to become the commander of the 120th Division, or the deputy division commander. As far as Division Commander He is concerned, as the commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningjin-Sui Joint Defense Army, Division Commander He is very busy, and he has a lot of things to deal with. If Liu Gen can be allowed to serve as the commander of the 120th Division, then Commander He can also be more relaxed, and with Liu Gen's ability, he doesn't have to worry about the development of the 120th Division.

"Division Commander He, there is actually no need to do this, even if I don't hold a position in the 120th Division, I won't have the slightest slack in doing things." Liu Gen said seriously.

Senior Commander He nodded and said, "I know, but your ability is too good, I still want to keep you in our 120th Division." ”

"Although I also know that there is little hope of keeping you in the 120th Division, I still want to give it a try, not to mention that even if you are not prepared to stay in our 120th Division, the position you hold can be said to come out of our 120th Division. With this position as a staff officer of the division, you will also have a lot of convenience in our 120th Division, and I hope that Comrade Liu Gen will not shirk your resignation. ”

The deputy division commander looked at Liu Gen with some expectation, he hoped that Liu Gen could directly agree, so that Liu Gen could also be regarded as a member of the 120th division, and he could also reassure them. Xiao Liu on the side looked at all this, and looked at Liu Gen's eyes full of envy, when will he be able to enjoy such treatment as Liu Gen.

Xiao Liu shook his head secretly, he felt that it was better not to think too much, and to raise his strength to the level of Liu Gen first, before he could think about these things.

Liu Gen smiled helplessly, Master He had said it to such a point, how could he choose to refuse? Liu Gen was a little moved to be able to get such attention from Division Commander He, but he also knew that he could not stay in the 120th Division, the reason was just as Master He said, due to the positioning of the 120th Division, the 120th Division and the devil would not have any large-scale battles.

The most important task of the 120th Division is to ensure the safety of Yan'an, not to fight the devils, and Liu Gen is well aware of this.

"Master He, can't I agree? You can rest assured, as long as I am still in the 120th Division for one day, then I will do my best to make the 120th Division better. Liu Gen opened his mouth and promised.

Liu Gen didn't have much thought about the behavior of Division Commander He and Deputy Division Commander, he knew that it was also because they attached too much importance to it, and because the 120th Division really needed to be promoted greater. Compared with the 129th Division and the 115th Division, the 120th Division is somewhat worse, not that the combat effectiveness of the 120th Division is too weak, but that the 120th Division has a lot of problems in terms of weaponry and the source of troops. child

Since the 120th Division is responsible for protecting the security of Yan'an, it will not have too large-scale battles with the devils, so the 120th Division cannot get as many supplies as the 129th and 115th Divisions. In other words, if the 120th Division wants to meet its own material needs, it can only come by itself, which is also a matter of no choice.

The situation of the 120th Division is very difficult, and the allowances of the soldiers have not been paid for a while, don't look at the division commander He and the deputy division commander There are a lot of smiles on their faces, but in fact, they are very worried, and they don't know how to solve the predicament of the 120th division. At this moment, the 120th Division urgently needs to find a way out of the predicament.

The arrival of Liu Gen made Division Commander He and Deputy Division Commander have some expectations, maybe this young man can help the 120th Division get out of the predicament.

"Comrade Liu Gen, it depends on you whether we can get our 120th Division out of the predicament next. The situation of our 120 Division is somewhat bad, the supply of materials is seriously insufficient, and many of them can only be solved by ourselves. But we are also shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending Yan'an, which makes us a little unable to let go, I hope you can find some way to help our 120th Division get enough supplies. ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when you say it, Comrade Liu Gen, we haven't been able to pay allowances to the soldiers for almost a year, if you continue, I really can't go down to this division commander." Master He's face was full of sadness. In the last year, the soldiers have not been paid, even the division commanders have not been paid, and their 120th division is really too difficult.

Such difficult conditions have led to the 120th Division having to continue to reduce the size of its troops, and if it were not for the fact that the continued reduction would affect the defense of Yan'an, then I am afraid that the strength of the 120th Division would be reduced by half again.

Liu Gen had obvious surprise on his face, he had guessed that the supply of materials for the 120th Division was a little difficult, but he didn't expect such difficulties, and he had not paid an allowance for a year, which was enough to show how difficult the 120th Division was. At least in the 129th Division, the 129th Division was indeed difficult, but not to the extent of the 120th Division.

If the 129th Division is like the 120th Division, then even if Liu Gen is capable, there will not be much room to play. The manufacture of weapons and equipment, the establishment of artillery schools and special operations squads, all need to be supported by a large amount of materials.

At this time, Liu Gen realized the real intention of the bosses to send him to the 120th Division, not to help the 120th Division establish an artillery school and a special operations team, but to help the 120th Division solve the dilemma of lack of materials. Only by solving the problem of material supply for the 120th Division can the 120th Division have the spare strength to establish an artillery school and a special operations squad.

"Division Commander He, I need to have a comprehensive understanding of the situation of our 120th Division, and at the same time, I need to inspect the stations of various troops."

"If I can, I would like to be able to fully understand the details of the situation in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo and Jinsui and find solutions to the problems. Didn't the 359 Brigade conduct a production campaign in Nanniwan? It is true that our 120th Division units have the important task of defending Yan'an, but we can allow the soldiers to carry out production at the stations of each unit, and at the same time train every day, and cultivate more land to reduce the pressure on material supplies. ”

"When the land reclaimed by the troops reaches a certain level, then they can be completely self-sufficient, and even have a surplus." Liu Gen was silent for a moment, and then said very seriously.

Division Commander He and Deputy Division Commander glanced at each other, and they could see the satisfaction in each other's eyes, and sure enough, Liu Gen's ability was very good.

"That's right, the division commander has long ordered the troops to cultivate land in their respective defense areas in order to achieve self-sufficiency. It's just that due to the short time, the effect is not too obvious, but I think I can make certain achievements by the end of this year. The deputy division commander spoke.

Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, this is good, I believe that as long as all units have reclaimed land for farming, then there will be some harvest, which can alleviate the shortage of materials in the 120th Division to a certain extent. It's just that Liu Gen also knows that there is still a certain amount of time to wait until the grain is ripe, and for the 120th Division, the most difficult thing is this time.

"Then I'll investigate the specific situation of the 120th Division first, and then think about whether there is any other way after I have completed all the investigations." Liu Gen said.

Division Commander He and the others do not have any opinions, the materials of the 120th Division are in short supply now, but it has not yet reached the point of incomparably scarce, and the shortage of materials is only relative to the 129th Division and the 115th Division, and the daily rations of the soldiers can still be guaranteed.

"Master He, please ask the cooking class to prepare some pancakes for me, about twenty sheets, and dry food for two people." Liu Gen thought for a moment and said again.

Master He understood what Liu Gen was going to do, so he didn't stop it, but said to Xiao Li: "Xiao Li, you go and inform the cooking class, and let the cooking class be ready within half an hour." In addition, prepare four more horses for Comrade Liu Gen, and set off immediately after the dry food is ready. ”

Looking at Division Commander He's arrangement, Liu Gen didn't have any opinions, Division Commander He was very thoughtful, four horses, two each, so that Liu Gen and the others could keep moving forward at full speed and complete a comprehensive survey of all units of the 120th Division in the fastest time.

The deputy division commander moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to give up, he knew that Liu Gen was very hard like this, but the situation of the 120th division was helpless. If he could, the deputy division commander would rather go to the various units to investigate in person, but he was not Liu Gen, and even if he went to investigate in person, he would not be able to let Liu Gen personally understand the specific situation of each unit.

Only when Liu Gen personally went to the units of the 120th Division to understand the specific situation could Liu Gen have a comprehensive understanding of the 120th Division, and at that time, Liu Gen would naturally be able to think of a solution.

"Brother Li, please inform Comrade Xue Bing and let him prepare to leave the division headquarters." Seeing that Xiao Li was leaving, he went to inform the cooking class accurately, Liu Gen hurriedly spoke.

Xiao Li hurriedly replied, "Okay, I will definitely inform him." ”

……

Half an hour later, Liu Gen and Xue Bing left the headquarters of the 120th Division with freshly baked dry food, each of them with two horses, ready to travel day and night. The area defended by the 120th Division is not small, and the units are not too scattered, but there is still a certain distance. Based on what Liu Gen learned, it would take him and Xue Bing about a week to go to each of the 120th divisions.

And this is still based on the premise that Liu Gen and they did not have an accident on the road, if there is any accident, then it is possible for half a month.

"Staff Officer Liu, which unit should we go to first?" Leaving the division headquarters, Xue Bing asked.

Liu Gen smiled and said directly: "Let's go to the cavalry detachment first, I need to see how the combat effectiveness of the cavalry detachment is, I hope it has strong enough combat effectiveness." A flexible unit like cavalry still needs to move. ”

After knowing that he was going to the cavalry detachment, Xue Bing rushed directly to the front, compared with Liu Gen, he undoubtedly knew more about the specific situation of the various units of the 120th Division, and knew better where the cavalry detachment was stationed.

Seeing Xue Bing speed up, Liu Gen also slammed the horse's belly and quickly chased after him, both of them had two pistols on their waists, with their strength, they would not have any fear at all when they encountered a small group of devil puppet soldiers.

"When you encounter a small group of devils and puppet troops, you will rush over directly to kill them, and you can't delay time because of them." Liu Gen shouted loudly.
