Instead, it was the legal weapons seized from the Tanglin thief, because the amount of ammunition seized was sufficient. In addition to the general maintenance is not bad, at least the state is much better. In addition to the bayonet, the accessories are quite complete. At least through, the equipping rate is 100 percent.

Although the bayonet is somewhat insufficient, because it has not experienced a major war and has been disarmed as a whole, the standard configuration rate is about eighty percent. Although the eight-millimeter bullet is not a standard bullet, the number of seizures this time is large, far exceeding the Italian-made six-five-caliber bullet. Although it is much heavier than the Carcano rifle, it has been manufactured for a much shorter time.

Moreover, with the importance that the French attached to the so-called Indochina colonies in the past, the quality of these weapons was quite good. Therefore, after several considerations, Li Ziyuan still changed the two reorganized backbone battalions, as well as the original backbone armed forces in various counties, into legal weapons.

Considering that the sub-division now has two main regiments, and now another regiment has been transferred as an organization, in fact, the main force of the sub-division has only one arm left. Although it was also judged that the Japanese army basically had no ability to dispatch, considering the situation to be faced in the future, Li Ziyuan still continued to speed up the process of reorganizing and training the troops.

Throughout the month of July, Li Ziyuan devoted almost all of his energy to the reorganization of the new troops. Fortunately, the original place was armed, and under Li Ziyuan's request, it was trained according to the standards of the main force. And having participated in two battles in a row, there is no lack of real combat experience.

At the same time, a large part of the replenishment soldiers were captured puppet soldiers. These puppet soldiers have already received a considerable degree of Japanese-style training, and their combat effectiveness has also made Li Ziyuan fully aware of it. In other words, the focus of this rebuilt regiment is actually more on integration.

On the contrary, there are not too many areas that need to be supplemented and strengthened in military training. So, in combat effectiveness is actually formed very quickly. By the end of July, the regiment was beginning to take shape. The 1,800 men of the regiment were fully equipped, and although the equipment was not as good as that of the second regiment that had been transferred, at least it was not inferior in the establishment of light weapons.

Considering that Zhang Yuhu has been with him for a while, even the guard squad leader has been a year old. After fighting in the past few years, it can be regarded as accumulating a lot of actual combat experience. I also learned a lot of culture by myself, and now I have even learned to recognize maps. It can be said that he, the guard squad leader, already has the foundation to be a platoon leader.

The Ludong Military Sub-district has been withdrawn in large numbers twice in a row, and the number of military cadres, mainly qualified military cadres, is still somewhat insufficient. In addition, this kid is getting older, and he can't be a guard for a lifetime, and he will have to find a better way out in the future.

Li Ziyuan talked to him for a while, and wanted to send him to the divisional teaching team to study for a period of time, and then go down to the new second regiment to be a platoon commander. It's just that Li Ziyuan didn't expect that no matter how hard he spoke, Zhang Yuhu would not be able to live or die in the army, even if he was willing to be a guard for a lifetime.

For this stubborn guy, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but say a little angrily: "I said you kid, why don't you eat oil and salt?" You said that you would follow me as a guard for the rest of your life, but can you really be this guard for the rest of your life? You're just a little bit out of it? Tell you that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. ”

"You have been with me in the past few years and have learned a lot of things, and now the army needs a military cadre like you with a certain foundation. I believe that there will be a wider world when you get down there. To be honest, I can't bear to leave you. In the past few years, the two of us have been getting along day and night, saying that you are my guard, but in fact, I have always treated you as my own brother. ”

"But that's why I can't delay you. You are still young and will have a better future in the future. I can't bear you to go, but I can't delay you any longer. Otherwise, if you ask your daughter-in-law in the future, your daughter-in-law will ask you what you have done after being a soldier for so many years? Will you just go back and I'll stand guard for my brother? ”

"What will you say to your daughter-in-law, and how will you give an account to your children? Also, what do you kid ask me to explain to your sister. My younger brother was abducted by you to be a soldier, and he followed you from birth to death for so many years, and in the end he was still a guard? When your sister finds it, how can I have the face to see people at that time? ”

After Li Ziyuan said this, although he was still a little unwilling, Zhang Yuhu, who also knew his chief's temper, did not dare to talk back. Looking at Zhang Yuhu in front of him, Li Ziyuan said earnestly: "When you get out of the army, don't forget to study." Within a year, I didn't know 3,000 words, let alone a soldier I brought out. ”

"Also, when you get to the troops below, do it down-to-earth, don't play those false jobs. You are the leader of a platoon, and the lives of a platoon of soldiers on the battlefield are in your hands, and you can't do it without real skills. When it comes to the teaching team, study hard with an open mind, and strive to be a qualified platoon commander in the next unit. ”

"I can tell you, you know my personality and temperament. I look down on those who have no real skills and will only talk about it there. Within three years, you kid, if you don't rely on your own ability and military exploits to become a company commander, don't come back to see me. None of the soldiers brought out by my Li Ziyuan were of a bad breed. ”

In the end, Zhang Yuhu, who was young and couldn't stand the excitement, and was full of reluctance just now, immediately stood up and said after hearing Li Ziyuan's words that if he couldn't be a company commander within three years, don't come back to see him, he immediately stood up and said: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, I promise that no matter where I go, I will remember that I am your soldier." If you go to the battlefield, you will definitely not be disgraced. ”

Zhang Yuhu's assurance, Li Ziyuan stood up and said: "It is said that you don't need a heavy hammer to sound the drum, whether you kid is a drum or not, you can see your performance with a heavy hammer." Remember, no matter how far you go, don't forget that you are a soldier brought out by me Li Ziyuan. Now that you have promised me, it is so good, I will wait to drink your celebratory wine. ”

Although Zhang Yuhu agreed to Li Ziyuan's arrangement, he knew that his chief had a problem, and the more fierce the fight, the more he loved Zhang Yuhu, who was in front of the command, and explained that Ma Yongcheng had found a guard for Li Ziyuan himself. The replacement he chose was none other than the militia named Xue Dongshan who showed quite good marksmanship in the anti-Japanese puppet army's grain grabbing battle at the beginning of the year.

This militia is now working as a soldier in the reorganized Hubei Independent Battalion, and when Zhang Yuhu accompanied Li Ziyuan to inspect before, he saw this guy who left a deep impression on him. When he was transferred out this time, he recommended this person to Li Ziyuan. Seeing that Zhang Yuhu asked that person to replace him by name, Li Ziyuan, who knew that this guard was loyal to him, did not object.

After being reviewed and studied by the Political Department of the sub-district, this Xue Dongshan officially replaced Zhang Yuhu, who was studying in the teaching team, as Li Ziyuan's guard. However, Li Ziyuan obviously doesn't care much about who will replace Zhang Yuhu. For him, the change in the situation did not give him much energy to worry about the things around him.

After the Battle of Jincheng, the whole of July seemed unusually calm. The Japanese puppet army around Li Ziyuan, especially the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Changzhi, planted a big heel on the first attempt after the arrival of the new brigade commander. The four squadrons that went south to reinforce were armed by the remaining troops of the Fourth Division and part of the Ludong Division, and came to a siege point to send reinforcements.

Four formed squadrons, plus one mortar squadron, were surrounded by superior forces of the 4th Division on their way back to Changzhi. After several hours of fierce fighting, less than 50 of the more than 800 Japanese troops in the four squadrons escaped. Once again, all the mobile forces that had just been replenished were completely lost.

The Japanese army made great efforts to reorganize Changzhi and the puppet security teams drawn from the two surrounding counties, and a small number of more than 1,200 people were annihilated, and most of them were disarmed. The troops of the Fourth Division took advantage of the situation to go north, cooperated with the remaining troops of the Ludong Army Division, and uprooted almost all the Japanese puppet army strongholds around Changzhi.

The 1st Regiment of the Ludong Army Division, which was responsible for the encirclement, also broke through the defense of the Changzhi Japanese puppet army, and the whole regiment broke into Changzhi City. It even hit a position less than thirty meters from the headquarters of the 14th Brigade of the Independent Infantry. The * thrown by the attacking troops can directly fall to the headquarters of Yuanquan Xin.

If it weren't for this Major General Yuanquan Xin, as soon as Changzhi was broken through, he would have shrunk all the defensive forces to his own headquarters. and sent all the personnel left behind at the brigade headquarters, even the cooks, grooms, and gendarmes to the top. In addition, the left-behind troops of the Ludong sub-district are all armed forces in some places who lack firepower to attack fortified positions.

In addition, strategically, it is not necessary to kill it. At present, the capture of Changzhi makes it difficult for the Ludong Army Division to hold under the counterattack of the Japanese army. Only then did this guy, who had been ambitious since he took office and tried to restore the military prestige of the so-called imperial army in the southeast of Jin, he escaped by luck.

However, in the battle, he did not ask for any favors. He was hit by a * in the battle, and his head was cut by shrapnel. One eye was also scratched by shrapnel, and it is not known whether he will become a one-eyed dragon in the future. Anyway, at least for a short time, he couldn't find a military doctor to treat him.

Because in this battle, not only all the materials reserved by the 14th Independent Brigade in Changzhi were almost swept away. Not even a grain of food was left for this guy. The reconstructed ammunition depot also contained a large amount of ammunition and spare weapons. The entire health team was captured intact by the attacking troops.

After the Ludong Army Division withdrew from Changzhi City, the 14th Independent Brigade did not even have the bandages to bandage the wounded soldiers and the salt water to clean the wounds. This old man's wound can only be hastily bandaged by the health soldier. Because there is no pain-relieving morphine, this old man can only grit his teeth and endure the severe pain caused by the wounds all over his body.

After this battle, this guy was really scared, and all his previous ambitions were gone. Except for the Changzhi to Taiyuan highway, the rest of the strongholds were abandoned by him. In the entire Ludong Military Division, except for the two county towns of Ludong and Hubei, no trace of the Japanese puppet army has been found in the rest of the locations.

Maybe it was busy healing, and he was honest throughout July. In the second half of the year, there was some movement, and a Japanese squadron, led by a newly arrived squadron leader who graduated from the non-commissioned officer school, with a heavy machine gun and at the request of the brigade, tried to come out and get some food.

When a white and innocent person was caught in a village, the squadron leader who made meritorious contributions said that he was a spy of the Eighth Road. Just wait for him to tie this so-called eight-way spy to a tree and prepare for execution. I didn't know that the fellow shouted outside that Li Ziyuan was here, but this guy's subordinates dispersed in a hurry.
