Regarding the stack of money stuffed by Li Ziyuan, this simple rural sister-in-law hurriedly pushed it back and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I remember your words, chief, but I really can't ask for this money." If the child is placed here, you two can rest assured. As for the child's reading, I remember, you can rest assured that I will definitely do what you say. ”

The money pushed over by this sister-in-law was accepted by Li Ziyuan. One refused to accept it, the other had to give, and Chang Juan, who was helping to persuade on the side, the scene was a bit chaotic. is just an old squad leader who smokes a cigarette and doesn't speak, and at this time it shows the role of the backbone.

He knocked on the cigarette pouch and controlled the residual fire in the cigarette pouch, only after coughing a few times, he said to his wife: "Just take the money this kid gave you, if you don't accept it, he won't be at ease." Besides, it is natural to accept this kid's money, so he should honor me. You don't have to worry about anything, the relationship between the two of us is much more complicated than you think. ”

"Well, it's getting dark, so we should go back. The three boys in the family, no one cares, and they don't know what they are like yet. Besides, if you leave late, it shouldn't be safe on the road. What we can do now is to take good care of this child for them, even if it is to relieve their biggest worries. ”

Speaking of this, he walked up to Li Ziyuan, knocked Li Ziyuan's chest with a cigarette pouch and said, "Your kid has a lot of poke in the basket this time." However, the superiors still set out to love you, although the board is held high, but when it falls, it is still held high and put it down. You kid must remember the lesson of this time, sometimes the higher you stand, the harder you fall. ”

"You remember, you are now the commander of a regular army, no longer the captain of a partisan detachment. This line is not your private shop, you can do whatever you want. The three disciplines and the eight points of attention are not tailored for one person, but are formulated for the whole army, what qualifications do you have to disobey the command? ”

"Don't talk about you, even the division commander and political commissar, don't you have to obey the command of the head of the headquarters in all actions? You kid, this is battlefield disobedience, do you know? This time, it was the superior who loved you, and if someone else had replaced you, he would have removed you a long time ago. I see you kid, will you still be scared when the time comes? ”

The old squad leader's deep tone of words, Li Ziyuan not only listened honestly, but he also really listened to it. Seeing that her husband, who had a much lower position, reprimanded Li Ziyuan, the big chief in her eyes, in a tone from her superiors, the wife of the old squad leader was a little inexplicable, and even tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes with some worry, blaming him for not talking to the superior head like this.

Although her first husband was also a soldier, he also died on the battlefield. But this simple rural woman is obviously not comparable to the difference in seniority in the army, not in the position. Although the old squad leader is now only the deputy director of the county armed forces committee, as long as he has been Li Ziyuan's squad leader for one day, he will always be his squad leader.

Li Ziyuan is just a deputy commander of a division, even if he is a military commander, he has to be respectful when he sees the old squad leader. This is the practice in the army and the special feelings between soldiers, which is not the kind of military academy graduates who may not have been a soldier for a day before enlisting in the army, and who come out as an officer, can understand.

This simple man does not understand these things. In her simple thinking, Li Ziyuan is a big chief, much higher than her husband's position. If your husband trains others, isn't this finding your own hardship? In the traditional Chinese concept, it is still whose official is the one who listens to whom. I haven't heard of the fact that a small official can train a big official.

Regarding his wife's worries, the old squad leader turned back to his wife and said, "You don't have to worry, I still know very well what kind of soldiers I brought out." What the hell is this kid, he knows what's for his good. Don't look at him as the commander of the military division now, but in my eyes he is still that hairy child. ”

The old squad leader's voice fell, but Li Ziyuan was not the slightest bit unhappy. Instead, he solemnly said to the old squad leader: "Old squad leader, don't worry, I remember your golden and jade words." I promise not to make the same mistakes in the future, let's wait and see, okay? ”

After that, Li Ziyuan dragged Chang Juan, and the husband and wife bowed deeply to the old squad leader and his wife: "Old squad leader, sister-in-law, the child will be entrusted to the two of you." I won't say anything else, please rest assured, no matter how far I go, you will always be my family. ”

Regarding the bow of Li Ziyuan and his wife, compared to his somewhat uneasy wife, the old squad leader seemed very calm. After helping his wife, who was holding Li Ziyuan's daughter, onto the donkey, he led the donkey and left. And Li Ziyuan and his wife looked at the back of the old squad leader and his party leaving, and their hearts were a little sour. Especially Chang Juan, who is a mother, her eyes are a little red.

If it weren't for Li Ziyuan dragging him, he would have even wanted to catch up several times. Looking at his wife's sad expression, Li Ziyuan, who was also in a bad mood, hugged his wife in his arms and comforted him softly. Sending the child away is only Li Ziyuan's first step. The day after sending off the child, Li Ziyuan said goodbye to his wife, who returned to work.

After sending his wife away, Li Ziyuan did not return to the house that had given warmth to the family of three and allowed them to spend an unforgettable reunion career, but moved back to the divisional headquarters. After returning to the headquarters, He Sanliang, who was busy replenishing and adjusting the troops, shook his head when he saw Li Ziyuan move back.

After putting a report in Li Ziyuan's hand, he said: "This time, the soldiers will be replenished after the war, according to your requirements." From the captured puppet army, we mobilized more than 1,700 people who had been in the military for less than a year and had no physical illness to stay. The remaining deficiencies have been mobilized by the counties, and intensive training is now underway. ”

"The other puppet army prisoners have been handed over to the Seventh Division for dismissal in accordance with the requirements of the military region. Most of these captives were from Henan, and it was more appropriate to hand them over to the Seventh Division for dismissal. The prisoners who are now left behind are being taken by Director Ma for political study and grievance education. ”

After reporting on the issue of supplementing the soldiers, He Sanliang handed a telegram from the general district to Li Ziyuan before saying, "But there is one news, I'm afraid you won't be too happy." The military region called and transferred the 2nd Regiment to the territory of Licheng and assigned it to the military region as a directly subordinate unit. Due to the vacancy in our division, the military region decided to reorganize the two independent battalions from Hubei and Ludong into the second independent regiment. ”

After taking the telegram and reading it carefully, Li Ziyuan handed the telegram back to He Sanliang and said: "The iron-clad battalion is a flowing soldier, and the movement and adjustment of troops are normal things. We are not a warlord army, nor are we a ragtag army over there that has its own system and cannot be interfered with by others. ”

"It is a unit with strict organization and discipline, and if the superior wants to transfer our unit, we can only obey the subordinates. The military region's current readjustment of its structure is certainly not just one regiment. I estimate that the main forces that were originally delegated to the various sub-districts will all be transferred back to the direct command of the military region this time. You'll want to speed up the replenishment process and make sure it's complete before they are transferred. ”

"In terms of weapons and equipment, don't go to ambushes, let alone change them. The existing equipment will not be moved, and those that will be adjusted and supplemented will be supplemented. In addition, except for Dong Ping, who was transferred to the sub-district, the rest of the cadres should not be adjusted in any way. In addition, the formation of new troops must also be accelerated. ”

"Not only the new Second Regiment must be formed as soon as possible. The two independent battalions of Ludong and Hubei should also be reorganized at a faster pace. It's already July, and I guess that judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there will be a big change in a short period of time, and we don't have much time to prepare. The newly formed troops, especially the new 2nd Regiment, must form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time. ”

What Li Ziyuan's so-called big changes were, he didn't say clearly. He Sanliang, who was used to his temper and personality, did not ask. After Li Ziyuan made a plan, the cadres of the military division headquarters turned around one after another. The personnel who were transferred out of the unit were supplemented and adjusted, and the personnel and adjustments of the troops were reorganized, so that the two of them were too busy to have time to separate.

In the newly formed troops, Li Ziyuan naturally had no shortage of weapons and equipment in his hands. In the first battle of Jincheng, Li Ziyuan captured a large number of weapons and equipment. In addition to being handed over to the military districts, the new troop formation was not short of weapons. The new Second Regiment, which was formed on the basis of two independent battalions in Hubei and Ludong, plus a company drawn from several detachments, was formed at a very fast pace.

Within a month, the new second regiment was formed. In addition to the three battalions of the regiment, which used the Chinese-made 79 rifle and the Czech light machine gun, the remaining two battalions each company had nine crooked handles or 96 light machine guns, plus four grenadiers, and the infantry were all 38 rifles captured in the battle of Jincheng.

The regiment was directly subordinate to an artillery company equipped with two Soviet-made water-cooled heavy machine guns, four Type 92 heavy machine guns, four mortars and two 92 infantry guns. Although the speed of the two reorganized independent battalions was a little slower, the equipment of the two battalions was also fully equipped.

In addition to the weapons and equipment left over from the upgrading and refitting of the old troops, Li Ziyuan strengthened some of the weapons of the two independent battalions. Each battalion has four companies, each of which is equipped with six French light machine guns captured from the Jincheng battlefield and three grenadiers, and each battalion also has three heavy machine guns.

In terms of the caliber of the weapon, Li Ziyuan also made certain adjustments as much as possible. The two newly-established battalions used French-for-light weapons seized from the puppet Sixth Front. Almost all of the legal weapons that the Japanese army equipped with the puppet Sixth Front Army fell into the hands of Li Ziyuan this time, and there was no problem in equipping the two basic battalions.

The original Italian infantry machine gun captured from the 14th Independent Brigade was converted into a reserve by Li Ziyuan. For Li Ziyuan, the performance of the Carcano rifle is okay, but the ammunition caliber is special. Although they are all 65 calibers, they cannot be used with the 65 bullets used in Type 38 rifles at all.

This caliber is not as common in China as the six-five-year-old and seven-nine calibers, and there is no place to replenish them once they are exhausted. Although the amount of seizures this time is very large, after all, the total number is still somewhat insufficient. The most important thing is that Li Ziyuan found that these Italian-made light weapons were not well maintained, and the level of manufacturing at the beginning was average, so they were in poor condition.

In addition to the fact that the Japanese army disarmed the Italian troops stationed in China and occupied the Japanese concession in Tianjin, many of the weapons were already incomplete. With enough other captured trophies, Li Ziyuan thought about it for a long time, and finally turned all these weapons into reserves and distributed them directly to the troops.
