Regarding the action of the logistics minister of the sub-division to sit on the ground and repay the money, Li Ziyuan did not flinch at all: "Eight hundred sets of military uniforms, this is my lowest line." When you are the chief, do you just look at my soldiers, and after a big battle, the uniforms have become sacks and have to be worn? That's the least I can accept, or we'll break up. ”

"How many weapons and ammunition have been seized this time, I will truthfully report to my superiors. It's a big deal, I don't even leave a single bullet and turn it in. If you, the chief, pick and search, I will not be guilty of violating discipline, but I am a person who strictly enforces the discipline of the army. ”

Li Ziyuan took out the lowest number, and put on a posture of no compromise. After a long time in his heart, the logistics minister of the division finally spat out: "You shit, they all say that Lao Tzu is an iron rooster." Now look, it's far worse than you. You kid is a sugar rooster at all, he doesn't pull out a hair, and he has to leave with a whole hair when he leaves. ”

"This time, Lao Tzu can be regarded as smashing the pot and selling iron, 800 sets is 800 sets. However, when you kid goes to the military region, if you talk nonsense and talk about everything. Not only did the military uniform not be given, but even the new recruit Lao Tzu was not given. Now, you get out of here for me immediately, and the provincial Lao Tzu is upset when he sees you. ”

Obviously, the logistics minister of the division, who is known as the iron abacus, was quite annoyed by Li Ziyuan's bargaining move. However, he also knew that after a big battle, the military uniforms on Li Ziyuan's troops were already in tatters. It's really indecent to go out naked like this.

At the same time, he also knew that even if Li Ziyuan didn't open his mouth this time, these military uniforms would still have to be issued to them in the end after the anti-sweep. As a superior military sub-district, you can't always look at the tattered clothes worn by the troops, just don't care about it like a group of people called Hanako. In fact, I still took advantage of it.

Although there was still some pain in his heart, in front of the soldiers of the army, the logistics minister finally agreed to take out 800 sets of military uniforms. However, he still felt the pain in his flesh, and finally glared at Li Ziyuan fiercely. Let an officer of the logistics department beside him take people to the fortified point of the logistics department of the sub-district to get 800 sets of military uniforms for Li Ziyuan.

It is rare to extort 800 sets of military uniforms from the hands of this iron rooster, which makes Li Ziyuan's mood a little more comfortable. However, a telegram was sent from Song Weiye, who was left by Li Ziyuan in the Hubei area to monitor the puppet 50th Division, asking for instructions on whether it was a telegram to take action against the main force of the puppet 50th Division, which was rapidly retreating south.

made Li Ziyuan in no mood again, and went to ridicule the logistics minister who was knocked out of a batch of new military uniforms by himself. After receiving Song Weiye's telegram, Li Ziyuan opened the map and pondered for a long time. Whether to let this pseudo-50th division evacuate, or use his last living force to entangle this guy to give Li Ziyuan a bit of a headache.

Although this puppet 50th division lost almost all its artillery and was eaten by itself, a regiment was eaten by itself. But after all, the main force still exists, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not weak. If Song Weiye sticks it up, it is very likely to pay a considerable price. However, if this puppet 50th division is allowed to retreat south and merge with its puppet army stationed in Huguan, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of the main force in combat.

But the troops in Song Weiye's hands now are his last complete living force. If their losses are too large, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of rebuilding the troops. If the current troop structure is still complete, he naturally won't care. But now his own troops have been crippled, and the loss of old bones is too great.

Especially the squad platoon leader, now it can almost be said that he has changed a whole stubble. The original old platoon leader and old squad leader are basically no longer left. The key to whether a unit can ensure the inheritance of its fine style lies in whether it can retain the old bones. The greater the loss of old bones, the less time and efficiency it will be for the troops to rebuild.

And with the main force moving north, this anti-sweeping operation is estimated to end here. I can't help but think about the recovery of the troops in the future. The vitality of one loss is too great, which is not good for the future recovery of the troops. However, if this puppet 50th Division is allowed to move south and join up with the enemy at Huguan, it will inevitably increase the operational difficulties of the main force.

Li Ziyuan, who has been in the army for many years and has always boasted of being decisive in killing, is the first time he has been so embarrassed. Whether it is to preserve the living force, or to take the initiative to cooperate with the superiors in combat. This is a dilemma for Li Ziyuan at the moment. Especially when the superiors do not ask themselves to go south to cooperate with the superiors in the battle.

Seeing the hesitation on Li Ziyuan's face, He Sanliang, who knew the dilemma in his heart, thought for a while and said: "Regiment commander, logically speaking, the main force surrounded and annihilated the headquarters of the puppet Second Front Army and knocked out the backbone of the main force of the puppet army participating in the war. At least the Wang puppet Second Front Army, which was the main force of the Japanese puppet army's sweep this time, was basically paralyzed. ”

"Judging from the current development of the situation, no matter what kind of movement the remaining two Japanese puppet armies are making. So far, it can be said that the anti-sweeping operation has basically come to an end. It can be said that we, the troops participating in the war in the entire military region, who have suffered the heaviest losses, should now be transferred to rest and recuperate. ”

"But the regimental commander, we cannot fail to take into account the post-war situation. Judging from the current strength of the Japanese puppet army in Huguan and the characteristics of Huguan County. Under the current situation that the strategic intentions of the main force have been completely exposed, it is difficult to replicate the Gaoping war in Huguan. If the rest of this puppet 50th division is allowed to withdraw to Huguan, it will further increase the enemy's garrison strength at Huguan. ”

"If the main force can't capture Huguan and completely solve the enemy of Huguan. Then after the war, these Japanese puppet armies will become a bayonet hanging over the head of the Ludong area, and it can fall at any time. In this battle, whether we want to or not, we must beat the enemy in Huguan to the point where we are wounded and weakened, so as to give us enough time to recuperate after the war. ”

"Geographically, if there is not a single force to contain the main force of the puppet 50th Division. Then the chance of this puppet 50th division retreating into Huguan is 100 percent before the main force arrives. This not only increased the difficulty of the main force to seize Huguan, but also greatly increased the threat of our flanks after the war. ”

"Commander, when you continue to break it, you will leave trouble. There are not too many opportunities for the main force to come out this time, so why don't we take the opportunity of this large-scale dispatch of the main force to completely weaken the enemy of Huguan. Even if they can't annihilate them all, it will prevent them from posing a new major threat to our flanks after the war. ”

"If we don't take advantage of this east wind and miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to mobilize the main force to deal with the enemy threat on a certain side. After all, the main forces will not be entangled in a particular direction for a long time. Especially now that the main forces have been localized. ”

"We can't stick to small calculations, we have to look at the gains and losses in the general direction. As long as the threat from our flanks can be removed, the losses of the three battalions will be greater, and it may not be something we cannot bear. Besides, with Song Weiye's ability, if it is just sluggish, it may not really be to the point of breaking the muscles and bones. ”

He Sanliang's words, like an alarm bell, completely dispelled Li Ziyuan's hesitation. After listening to He Sanliang's suggestion, Li Ziyuan immediately drafted a call back to Song Weiye. He was ordered to go all out to delay the puppet 50th Division in front of him in Hubei and cooperate with the main force to complete the encirclement of the department.

At the same time, Li Ziyuan also clearly telegraphed Song Weiye on the telegram. He will lead the main force and rush to his position as quickly as possible. And he himself should not fight hard, but should pay attention to making full use of the terrain and tactics. His task is to delay the speed of the puppet army to move south, not to kill or injure the puppet army.

Regarding Li Ziyuan's telegram, which seemed to be a bit of a rat at both ends, He Sanliang smiled and didn't say anything more. Li Ziyuan still knows the idea of feeling sorry for the troops, but now is really not the time to feel sorry for the troops. If you don't borrow the east wind of the main force this time, whether it is relying on the Ludong Division alone or the fourth division where Huguan is located, you will not be able to solve this puppet army alone.

Especially in this puppet army, after the end of this sweep, whether to retreat to Gaoping or stay in Huguan, He Sanliang believes that the latter is very likely. After all, as a puppet army of tens of thousands of people, it is somewhat a waste of strength to be stationed in the eight counties of southern Jinnan, and it leads to a shortage of supply. And he, who is also from a small miscellaneous background, knows the desire for territory in the hearts of these miscellaneous soldiers.

And in terms of the character of the Japanese army, they will not just let so many puppet troops be stationed in the territory of the eight counties in southern Jinnan, instead of giving full play to the strength of the puppet army. If the puppet army of this department stays in Huguan, then the combat effectiveness of the puppet army of this department far exceeds that of the garrison, and it will pose a great threat to the entire Taihang base area, especially to the flank of the Ludong area.

What Li Ziyuan hesitated in his heart was not what He Sanliang hesitated about. But the problem is that if we don't take advantage of the fact that so many troops are concentrated in the military region this time, we will weaken the strength of this puppet army as much as possible. If this puppet army continues to maintain its full-fledged existence in Huguan, it will be extremely disadvantageous from a strategic point of view.

Although it is also known that the casualties of the troops are too large, the impact on the recovery of vitality is too great. But He Sanliang knew that with Li Ziyuan's character, his hesitation was only for a short time. For the strategic unfavorable situation, Li Ziyuan is not blind. Li Ziyuan doesn't know which is more important, what he needs now is to find a balance.

This is also the reason why He Sanliang persuaded Li Ziyuan, because he knew that as long as Li Ziyuan figured it out, he would still make this determination in the end. I still know the character of this regiment leader. The friendly army has the kind of thing that is difficult to move like a mountain, and Li Ziyuan can't do it.

In fact, whether it is Li Ziyuan or He Sanliang, they all know that this order is somewhat risky. Song Weiye is now left in his hands, and this is still a complete formed army. Once the puppet 50th Division retreats south with all its might, the resistance of the 3rd Battalion will definitely be quite difficult. Although the puppet 50th Division was dealt with by itself with one regiment and artillery, the problem was that there were still two fully formed regiments.

Song Weiye only has two companies of troops in his hands, even if the retreat speed of this puppet army is delayed, the difficulty of this blocking battle can be imagined. But both of them also clearly knew that at present, the main force of the military region was going north with all its might, and once it was escaped into Huguan County by this puppet 50th division. With the military region's existing means of attacking fortifications, the city defense is far stronger than that of Gaoping's Huguan, and it may not be able to be captured in a short period of time.

In a situation where it is difficult to choose, Li Ziyuan can only take a risk. Ordered Song Weiye to entangle this pseudo-fifty division, and the rest was handed over to his superiors. As long as the higher-ups act fast enough, the risk taken by the third battalion may not be too great. But if this puppet 50th division is allowed to flee back to Huguan, and the main force fails to take Huguan County, it will be too much of a threat to itself.
