Regarding He Huizhang's answer, Li Ziyuan thought about it and nodded the map on his leg and said: "You mean that the Japanese don't trust this regiment of the puppet Jinnan National Salvation Army, and even have some doubts?" Judging from the attitude of the Japanese army, the puppet army of this regiment is obviously very different from a hardcore traitor like Wang Tieshi? ”

Li Ziyuan's conclusion, He Huizhang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "As far as I know, it's basically the same." When I was in the puppet garrison, I heard Wang Tieshi's adjutant brag. Although the puppet regiment is the strongest regiment in the entire puppet Jinnan Founding Army, its equipment is very tattered. ”

"The Japanese were asked many times to change their equipment, but the Japanese simply ignored them. However, the Japanese basically met the requirements of the garrison. Even the equipment of the garrison has been continuously strengthened, and after our artillerymen were captured, even the people with guns were added to the Hubei County garrison is a proof of this. ”

"Not counting training and other aspects, in terms of weapons and equipment alone, a squadron of the garrison can cover a battalion of that regiment of the Jinnan National Salvation Army. They only have four or five light machine guns in one battalion, and their weapons and equipment are also very messy, mainly Hanyang-made and Jin-made 65 rifles, which are too inferior to the garrison. ”

"It's just that they still have a lot of Jin-made submachine guns in their hands, but there is no source of ammunition. The salary was coordinated and allocated by the Jinnan puppet regime, and it was much worse than that of the puppet garrison. The salary of an ordinary soldier in the puppet garrison is about the same as that of a platoon commander of theirs. ”

"I think this puppet army should not be lethal when it cooperates with the battle. However, this is definitely the case for the national army in Lingchuan and Zhongtiao Mountain, but I don't know what the Eighth Route Army thinks. But I know that the Japanese will never use this puppet army to fight against the Central Army and the Jinsui Army in the first and second theaters. ”

"To be honest, let them fight against the national army, especially the Central Army, and the devils are also afraid of their backlash on the battlefield. For the disposal of this puppet army, the devil is also a headache. According to the people in the garrison, the devils who don't trust them have tried to disarm them many times. But the problem is that the devils can't do without them now. ”

"In fact, the people in the garrison don't understand why the devils still want to keep such a puppet army in Hubei that they don't trust in Hubei when they are constantly strengthening the strength of the Hubei County garrison. As far as I know, Wang Tieshi has been fighting the idea of this regiment, but the Japanese have not succeeded because they have not agreed. ”

After listening to these things that He Huizhang said, Li Ziyuan thought for a while and said: "Lao He, what is their attitude towards the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army, we can't control it now, and there is no way to manage it." But there is one thing, as long as he is harming the people and working for the Japanese devils, we will not discuss it if we beat him up. ”

"As for the idea of the devil keeping two puppet armies in Hubei County, this is very simple, the devil is playing a trick of checks and balances. They are ready to use traitors and puppet troops, but whether it is the puppet Jinnan Jianguo Army or the puppet Hubei County Garrison Brigade, they don't trust them from the root. ”

"As long as they are Chinese, they are unreliable for them. But they control the occupied areas, but they are inseparable from these puppet armies. Without these puppet troops, the devils may not be able to draw out any mobile troops, and no matter how many troops they invest, they will all be lost in this Taihang Mountains. ”

"In the case of both use and defense, the size of that puppet army is too large, and it is not a good thing for them. Therefore, ensuring two puppet armies with different formations, and even different furnaces, has become a means of defense for them. ”

"And the two puppet armies are now the same as enemies, which is more conducive to their counterbalance. If that side has an attempt to oppose the water, I think the other side will not hesitate to suppress it. At the same time, it is even more unlikely that the two sides will join forces and cause any trouble for their rule in Hubei. The little devil does have a good set of conspiracy. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you say we should do to the western plains of Hubei to activities and move our muscles and bones?" At least replenish some ammunition, especially since we don't have many grenades. Without grenades, I always felt the same as the shortcomings. It's a treasure, better than a machine gun in mountain warfare. ”

"At the moment, the little devils are in the eastern mountains, and the western plains are empty. Let's go to the west to replenish some supplies and mobilize some soldiers. Relying solely on the limited population and grain production in the eastern mountainous areas, we can only eat this melon paste rice every day, and it is our turn to improve and improve the food. ”

Facing Li Ziyuan's rhetorical question, He Huizhang's eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "Captain, this is a good thing." If you can go to the west for a few days, it will be better than eating melon paste rice here every day. The west side of the north side of the pot is much richer than ours, and there is white flour over there, so it is no problem to go to the west to improve the food. ”

Looking at He Huizhang with an excited face, Li Ziyuan smiled: "You are an old man, when it comes to eating, you have more energy than anything." What's the matter, this melon paste dish is so unpalatable? Not really. Lao Tzu grew up eating rice in Sichuan, and didn't he eat this melon paste rice in the southeast of Shanxi? ”

Li Ziyuan's voice fell, and He Huizhang said with a sad face: "Captain, I didn't mean that. But you also know that this melon paste rice is really not hungry. Especially the melon paste rice we made, most of them are pumpkins, how much food is there. There is no oil and water in this stomach, and it is marching, training, fighting, or two meals. When a hurried march came down, his hungry chest pressed against his back. ”

"Besides, there is no oil and water in this stomach, and the brothers' physical strength can't keep up. When I used to be in Zhongtiao Mountain, although it was also due to a lack of food, I also had two meals a day with a dry and thin multigrain meal. But fortunately, it was garrisoned and did not have to march all day, and this physical exertion was limited.

"When I arrived here on the Eighth Road, I couldn't eat enough and marched all day. The amount of training you set is so big, this stomach is really unbearable. I also served as a squad leader in Zhongtiao Mountain, and I was also a captain in the garrison. I also know that this food can't keep up, and the brothers' physical strength can't bear it. ”

"Captain, they all say that we can't fight the little devil with bayonets. But I know that in addition to the fact that others have been specially trained, this body is much stronger than ours. You see that although the little devils are a little shorter, they are shiny all over their bodies, and the boards are sturdy one by one, and they are axles when they are taken out. ”

"Looking at us, whether it is the Central Army, the Miscellaneous Army, or the Eighth Road, all of them are yellow and thin. What's the use of being tall, no one has the strength at all. The main reason why I was left behind and captured was because the brothers who carried the cannon couldn't keep up. Carrying dozens of kilograms of mortar parts, you can't run. Captain, if you don't think about it, these brothers will really be a little overwhelmed. ”

He Huizhang's explanation, Li Ziyuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "That's good, it will meet your Lao He's stomach needs." When Lao Guo and Lao Guan come back, we will go to the west to improve the food. Anyway, now that the green yarn tent has risen, it's time for us to move our muscles. ”

"Didn't our ancestors have a saying, called come and not be rude? Why do the devils come and leave our guerrilla areas as soon as they say, so we can only stay in this ravine and eat this melon paste rice without oil and water? Let's go to the west and beat the tooth sacrifice on the little devil. ”

"But there's one thing I have to warn you about first. Our Eighth Route Army is disciplined, you Lao He has to pay attention to it, don't violate discipline when the time comes. There are some things that I can turn a blind eye to. But you Lao He also have to control your trouser belt, don't make too much trouble for Lao Tzu. Don't think I'm really unaware of your little problem. ”

Li Ziyuan broke the problem of He Huizhang, but He Huizhang, who had a very thick old face, didn't care. just smiled and said, "Captain, I have this problem, but I haven't violated discipline?" Knowing that the Eighth Route Army is strictly disciplined, I still know this in my heart. Besides, she is not married, and I am not married, it is all something you and I want, and it is not a violation of discipline. ”

Regarding the thickness of this guy's skin, Li Ziyuan was also a little speechless. Li Ziyuan couldn't figure it out, the women's rescue president of Li Jiawa had taken a fancy to this guy. As soon as the troops were stationed in Lijiawa to rest and recuperate, these two people must have been tired of being together. There were a few times when the guy hadn't even come back for the night, and the fool knew what the guy was doing.

This is thanks to the fact that he is now a guerrilla, and if he is in the main force, he has to let people catch the pigtails and clean them up. The army has strict discipline regulations for cadres, soldiers, and even contact with local women, but there is no set of garrison wives in the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that although Li Ziyuan understood that this was a violation of discipline in this matter, he finally chose to turn a blind eye. After all, this matter is also a matter that can be up and down. To say it is big, of course, it is also a violation of discipline. But if you really get to the point, it's not a big deal.

A widow whose husband has been dead for many years, and an old bachelor who has not married. They all have no homes, and it's what you and I want, and it's not good for me to say anything. After all, none of us are saints, and who hasn't thought about this love between men and women? Especially He Huizhang, a veteran oilman, is well disguised.

He Huizhang and Guo Laosan are the two baby bumps in his hands. As long as it is not too contrary to principles, Li Ziyuan still has to protect these two people as much as possible. It's just that unlike Guo Laosan, who is taciturn and basically has no hobbies, this guy's trouser belt is a little too loose.

However, if the troops were to move to the plains west of Hubei, Li Ziyuan was still a little worried about whether this guy would make a mistake. For this veteran oil, Li Ziyuan could only shake his head and be speechless. There is nothing to say about military technology, and he doesn't know how well the mortars hit, but this grenadier is quite slippery.

This guy didn't say anything about military technology, but the grenadier can do that and that. Even the infantry tactics are quite good, and at first glance he is the kind of veteran who has survived a hundred battles. But there are a lot of problems on the body, and the veteran oil habit is also a little too heavy. If you use it well, you are a good soldier, or even a good platoon commander, but if you don't use it well, just wait for him to poke you in the basket.

Fortunately, this guy still knows his bottom line, and so far he hasn't really poked out any baskets for himself. Even if the matter with the Women's Salvation President is discovered, it is really impossible to let them get married. But even if it's for your own sake, you still need to watch this guy more in terms of discipline.
