Chapter 690: Good News

After completing the Yushe operation, Li Ziyuan's headquarters was immediately under the organization of the military sub-division. Cooperate with a regiment to carry out large-scale strategic pull-out operations against various strongholds of the Japanese puppet army along the Baijin line. pulled out most of the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army on the Baijin railway line, and completely destroyed the remaining part of the roadbed of the railway.

In May and June, in order to defend the summer wheat harvest, Li Ziyuan's unit, one of the mobile units of the military region, went south to Jincheng to fight. In cooperation with friendly and neighboring troops in the military region, they launched a large-scale sabotage war against the Japanese puppet army that came out to grab food. He successively defeated the Sixth Front Army of the Jinnan Puppet Army and dispatched two regiments from Gaoping to grab grain.

Li Ziyuan's department also attacked alone, eating two battalions of the puppet army of the department, as well as the Jincheng puppet garrison, in the mountainous area north of Jincheng. More than 1,000 puppet soldiers were captured, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were seized. In cooperation with the troops of the Fourth Division and the troops of friendly neighbors, they successively pulled out the last few strongholds of this puppet army in the territory of the Fourth Division.

After this battle, the entire territory of the four divisions was wiped out, and there was no longer a single stronghold of the Japanese puppet army. In this battle, Li Ziyuan's unit carried out a large-scale intersperse, division, and encirclement, and displayed a brand-new squad and platoon tactics, which won high praise from the senior leaders of the military region.

Of course, this tactic is based on the complete equipment of Li Ziyuan's unit, and it is still somewhat inappropriate to popularize it to the entire military region. At least other units don't have as many light and heavy machine guns as him, nor do they have as many mortars as him. But this tactic, the commander of the military district, still considers it quite valuable.

After the end of the campaign, in addition to sending the chief of operations with a few staff officers to the camp, the military region also asked Li Ziyuan to make a final and report to the military region. This was Li Ziyuan's first harvest after this battle, but the second result was quite depressing for him.

After the battle to defend the summer wheat harvest was over, Li Ziyuan received an order from the military region to transfer two infantry companies from the second and third battalions, and one company of heavy machine guns, equipped with one 82 mortar, under the command of the commander of the third battalion, to be transferred to the seventh division. The vacancies left by Li Ziyuan's headquarters were filled by the Military Region and the Seventh Division.

In addition, in its orders, the military region has also placed special emphasis on the transfer of troops, and it is not allowed to set ambushes, draw strips, or transfer cadres and backbone cadres. The original configuration should be retained as it is. Weapons and equipment should be replaced with a unified caliber as much as possible. It really can't be completed, and it is also necessary to use the company as the system to achieve a unified caliber.

Four infantry companies and one machine gun company were transferred out at once, which somewhat made Li Ziyuan feel like he had been dug up. The weapons and equipment taken away by the troops, Li Ziyuan didn't care very much. But the problem is that those veterans who have practiced and have participated in many battles make Li Ziyuan feel a real pain.

However, in the face of the strict discipline of the Eighth Route Army, Li Ziyuan had to follow the order even if he was distressed. At the time of farewell, Li Ziyuan also gave two light machine guns and one grenadier to each company to the transferred troops. And let the artillery company draw the best platoon commander, and the best gunner and draw out the best one of the guns.

In the transferred troops, each of his fighters was equipped with a standard of 100 rounds, * 4 bullets. Weapons and equipment have also been adjusted to a certain extent, and all Japanese weapons have been transferred. The light weapons were adjusted to a certain extent in the trophies of the two Hubei operations and one Taiyue ambush battle.

All light and heavy weapons were adjusted to 79 calibers, light machine guns were equipped with Czech or other models of 79 caliber as much as possible, and bayonets were also equipped according to the number of rifles that were transferred. However, the number of heavy machine guns of 79 caliber was insufficient for a while, so Li Ziyuan switched all of them to Type 92 heavy machine guns.

The reason why the military region transferred four infantry companies to the seventh division, Li Ziyuan guessed some of them. The Battle of Central Henan has ended, the First War Zone has been defeated, and almost all of Henan has fallen except for a corner of western Henan. The higher-ups mobilized troops at this time, and it is estimated that they were preparing to enter the Japanese-occupied areas in Henan to open up the situation.

In order to open up the connection between the North China troops and the New Fourth Army operating in Dabie Mountain as soon as possible. After these troops move westward, the situation they will face is quite complicated. Not only did they have to face the Japanese puppet army, but also a large number of local recalcitrants with different nicknames who had now defected to the Japanese army.

Through the intelligence report of the military region, these local recalcitrants disarmed quite a number of troops in the First Theater when their headquarters were defeated. From the army's anti-aircraft guns and radio stations, to rifles and machine guns plus mortars, almost everything is needed. And western Henan has always been a place of four wars, and the folk customs are extremely strong.

I heard the old squad leader say that the Zhensong army back then was extremely strong. Although the military literacy can only be said to be a group of bandits, the fierceness of the style is much stronger than that of the ordinary Beiyang army. From the melee of the warlords to the rout in the First War Zone, it is generally difficult to count the number of armies that have been disarmed by them.

At that time, the Second National Army was disarmed in western Henan. The folk customs of western Henan are fierce, which can be seen in general. When the army is strong, these places are honestly armed. In the event of a major war, these people immediately dispatched to intercept and kill the defeated army, so as to obtain weapons and equipment and territory.

In consideration of the difficulties that these troops were about to face, Li Ziyuan, after consulting with several regiment-level cadres, increased the armament of the transferred troops. In order to strengthen the strength of the troops transferred by the higher authorities, we will help them open up a new situation as soon as possible. In fact, Li Ziyuan himself wanted to take his troops to Henan, but his superiors estimated that they would not approve his troops to go south.

Li Ziyuan not only adjusted the weapons as much as possible for the troops who were transferred. It also exceeded the requirements of the superiors, and the ammunition was also sufficient. Sixty rounds of ammunition and four rounds of ammunition* for each infantryman, 1,000 rounds of ammunition for light machine guns, and 2,000 rounds for each heavy machine gun. At least in the whole military region, there is no second one for this ammunition allocation.

When the transferred troops arrived at the troops of the 7th Division, they saw that the transferred troops were well-equipped, and all of them were fully equipped with Japanese equipment. Rao is the commander of the Seventh Division is Li Ziyuan's old superior, who has always been known for being young and spicy, and he also secretly sighed in his heart that Li Ziyuan's kid is interesting enough.

There was not a single recruit in these four infantry companies, and none of the 79 rifles they were equipped with, nor a single old sleeve or Hanyang-made. Not only are all of them of good quality, not to mention Czech and Belgian goods, but also bayonets and other accessories are quite complete. A rifle can have a bayonet, which is quite difficult in the Eighth Route Army.

The number of light machine guns, one company reached eight. Although there are a number of Belgian or French LMGs, most of them are Czech. Especially in that machine gun company, the six Type 92 heavy machine guns are almost catching up with the number of machine guns of the same model in his entire military division.

The four infantry companies and a machine-gun company, plus a mortar squad, plus six tall mules carrying weapons. When Qi Shushu stood in front of him, it aroused the envious eyes of the officers and soldiers of the surrounding Seventh Division. In terms of weaponry and ammunition, these four infantry companies can be said to be unsurpassed among the younger brothers of the troops to which they belong in the Seventh Division, which is a military subdivision of the Taihang Military Region.

However, the commander of the military division also knew the meaning of the song, and after receiving the troops transferred by Li Ziyuan. From the jurisdiction of the 7th Division to Li Ziyuan, three recruit companies were mobilized. Of course, in terms of weapons and equipment, the Seventh Division has no way now, so Li Ziyuan can only solve it himself.

After receiving Qian Peng, who led the team to the Seventh Division, and brought back the three recruit companies, Li Ziyuan just said that it was the old superior, and he accepted it unceremoniously. As for weapons and equipment, he still has some reserves in his hands. Not to mention that there are three companies, even if there are three companies here, there is no problem.

After the recruits completed their basic training, Li Ziyuan provided the recruits with weapons and equipment as soon as possible. It's just that this time all of them are equipped with Japanese-style weapons and equipment. The four reorganized infantry companies and one machine gun company were replaced by Japanese-style Type 38 rifles, crooked handles, Type 96 light machine guns, and Type 92 heavy machine guns.

Li Ziyuan has this bottom in his heart, after completing several large-scale operations in a row, the captured Type 38 rifle in his hand alone can pull up a reorganized regiment at any time. With crooked handles and Type 96 machine guns, there is absolutely no problem in making a company of six. As soon as the recruits of the four companies were in place, they were all fully equipped.

Of course, Li Ziyuan did not dare to form a new company of recruits from these four companies one-on-one. He made internal adjustments and reorganized all the original structures, except for one battalion and two companies. Four new companies for each combat squad, guaranteeing at least three veterans.

However, these adjustments will not be made until the new recruits have completed their training. However, Li Ziyuan had already started preparations in advance, and a group of backbones were selected as pre-promotion squad leaders for training. Except for the new commander of the third battalion, which has not yet been decided, the rest of the cadres Li Ziyuan has already completed the internal adjustment.

When the time entered July 1944, Li Ziyuan, who was busy training new recruits, got some good news. The first good news is that Chang Juan is pregnant, and he is about to become a father this time. The news that Tang Qiao gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in May, as the biological father of the child, Li Ziyuan, can only be blessed in secret.

The only thing that could be done openly was to send someone from the regiment to deliver a hundred eggs, as well as a few feet of cloth and some nutritional products in the name of my mother's family. He, the biological father of this child, is not even qualified to look at his own child. This time, after his wife told him that she was pregnant, Li Ziyuan was excited like a donkey pulling a mill, and circled in the house for a long time.

If he didn't know a little bit of medical truth, he would happily pick Chang Juan up. After watching her husband learn the news of her pregnancy, she was as excited as a child. staring at his stomach, Rao is Chang Juan, who has always been known for her calmness, is also quite happy in her heart.

She didn't know that her husband would be so excited when he learned that he was pregnant, and he still held his hand and kept saying thank you, which made me really feel like I was rooted. Regarding Li Ziyuan's words, Chang Juan naturally just thought he was happy and talked nonsense.

It's just that Chang Juan doesn't know how hard it will be for Li Ziyuan to not be able to visit his biological children as a father. And since coming to this world, Li Ziyuan really felt that his bloodline was continuing for the first time. And this continuation made him feel that he had truly taken root in this era.

In fact, Li Ziyuan didn't know that in an ordinary house in the suburbs of Taiyuan, a little boy who was almost exactly the same as him had already begun enlightenment education. The old man who once broke up his marriage, holding this grandson who has no blood of his own, but who is directly identified by him as the eldest grandson of the family, is also looking in this direction.
