The joy of two consecutive victories was washed away by this news in an instant. That night, although he was quite tired from continuous marching and fighting, Li Ziyuan did not sleep all night. After arranging for the troops to rest and sending someone to escort the wounded to the hospital, he sat in the courtyard where he lived and spent the whole night.

Although he also knew that unless he really wanted to hurt Chang Juan completely, he and Tang Qiao would not have any results, and he was not qualified to care about this matter. As long as the higher-level political department approves, Tang Qiao himself is willing, and he can only watch Tang Qiao get married.

But although he had known this result for a long time, after all, he had a relationship, and this news still made Li Ziyuan feel very lost in his heart. Of course, Li Ziyuan also knew that Tang Qiao had a reason to find his own happiness, and even more reason to find a lifelong dependence. But Li Ziyuan still didn't understand why Tang Qiao was so hasty.

Li Ziyuan didn't know what was the reason why Tang Qiao, a very rational woman, suddenly made this decision. But Li Ziyuan knew that it must have something to do with him. It's just that the person has already married, and now he even has a child, and Li Ziyuan has no way to do it even if he is lost.

And not only could he not show any emotions in this matter, but he also had to suppress the loss in his heart deeply. In fact, he also knew that Tang Qiao's marriage was a good thing for him. But the sense of loss in his heart, Li Ziyuan can't erase it.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ziyuanqiang reported the operation to the cadres in the regiment. Li Ziyuan behaved very calmly, and others didn't know the inside story and didn't care. just sent someone to send Tang Qiao a piece of cloth as a congratulatory gift for the whole group. After all, it can be regarded as a girl married out of the army, although it is not much, but it can be regarded as a friendship.

But Li Ziyuan did not go to see Tang Qiao, nor did he go to the General Hospital. Just sent the deputy chief of staff and sent all the wounded over. There was also a batch of seized nutritional supplements, which were also sent to the General Hospital. According to Li Ziyuan's idea, since it has been broken, it should be broken thoroughly.

Tang Qiao is now pregnant, and it is estimated that even if he waits until the birth is completed, there is little hope of returning to his army. At this time, don't disturb other people's lives. The General Hospital of the Military Region is also a more suitable unit for female soldiers like Tang Qiao. Let the family live a good life, this hard-working woman should also have a stable home.

This month of October 1943, both for the troops and for Li Ziyuan, except for Tang Qiao's marriage, can be said to be a fruitful season. After one or two victories, the weapons and equipment captured by Li Ziyuan can completely supplement the gap of the whole regiment, and there is even a considerable surplus.

Another regiment launched production to save itself, and finally achieved a bumper harvest through the rain in the summer. A large number of cabbage, pumpkins, radishes, peanuts, and millet that have been harvested to resist drought and have a short growing period and drought tolerance are piled up. At least this winter, the troops will no longer have to rely on the local supply of food and vegetables.

In particular, the peanuts planted by Li Ziyuan were harvested, and the number of harvests was even piled up. The goats raised by the army have also been bred to several hundred. Although the chickens and ducks lost some when the Japanese puppet army swept away, they are now full of mountains. The only deficiency is Li Ziyuan's own piece of land, three or four acres of land can beat less than 500 catties of peanuts.

It is the least productive of all the cadres and fighters of the regiment and the production tasks assigned to it. And many of the peanuts harvested are deflated. This result made Li Ziyuan a little embarrassed. Qian Peng, who connected to the land of Ma Yongcheng, harvested more than him.

An elderly fellow in the regiment headquarters, seeing Li Ziyuan's harvest, could only shake his head and sigh that Li Ziyuan had wasted a good piece of land, and had wasted so much farm manure in vain. Fortunately, Li Ziyuan is now very accustomed to others ridiculing him for fighting and farming. Less is less, it's better than nothing.

In addition to a certain bumper harvest in agriculture, the expansion of the army is also quite good. When Li Ziyuan's troops were expanded into a type A regiment, it happened that the two regiments of the military region were reduced from a type B regiment to a type C regiment. The establishment has been reduced from 1,200 to 6 companies with a total of 900 personnel.

The chief of staff, who is also the commander of the military district, will reduce the cadres and fighters, except for most of the replenishment to the local armed forces, to which they belong to the various independent battalions. Two fully formed companies of 200 people were also transferred to supplement the troops of Li Ziyuan's headquarters. Of course, both companies were driven with bare hands.

Perhaps it was the decision of the military district, which the division had known for a long time. Therefore, when the recruits promised by the military sub-district were in place, the number was still the same, and not a single one of them increased. However, this is no longer important to Li Ziyuan. Two companies of veterans are much better than any number of recruits.

The later sub-division did not promise to increase the number of recruits, and Li Ziyuan, who received veterans transferred from the military region, did not care. But the veterans transferred from the military region came with their bare hands, which made Li Ziyuan speechless. Isn't this gun supposed to be tuned by people? How come it is that the people here are transferred, but the guns are all left.

Two fully formed companies, even if you don't count light machine guns and *, this requires 200 rifles to meet the most basic needs. I have some inventory in my hands, but the problem is that I haven't crossed the river and demolished the bridge like this. How can you do this, isn't this a slap in the face?

Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan picked up the phone and was about to call one of his old chiefs, that is, the troops transferred from one of the companies, and he was very dissatisfied and complained a few words to the old chief who fought side by side in Cross Ridge. said that the old chief was the head of the regiment, so he didn't know his old subordinates.

As a result, he was told that this was a strictly implemented military district order. The order given to him by the military region was to transfer two unarmed companies, and not to set up ambushes and not to hand over the old, weak, sick and disabled. In a word, people should give capable people, but don't bring weapons. Although he did not understand the order to transfer two unarmed companies, he could only handle it in accordance with the orders of the military region.

Putting down the phone, Li Ziyuan covered his temples with a headache. He knew that this must have something to do with the two ambushes he fought in the Taiyue Military Region. Sure enough, when his phone was about to go to the military district. The commander who answered the phone directly told him that since he was so rich, he would take out a company of medium rifles at one time and hand them over to the fraternal military districts.

Then don't eat at home and pull wild, all the troops are in difficulty now. Since he Li Ziyuan is such a rich man, don't stare at the things in other people's bowls. The soldiers were transferred to him, and as for the equipment, he found a way to solve it himself. There is no way for the military district now, and it is very difficult for all the troops.

Moreover, he Li Ziyuan fought two battles in a row in Taiyue District, and the casualties were not large, but the captures were quite rich. The telegrams praised by the generals of the Taiyue Military Region were sent to the Military Region. The military region is not unaware that he can still get the weapons that meet the equipment of the two companies.

Hearing the commander say this, Li Ziyuan could only put down the phone speechlessly. Gritted his teeth and took out a lot of inventory. Within the troops, the armament has been adjusted to a certain extent according to different calibers. The first battalion was fully equipped with formal or Czech 79 rifles, with nine Czech light machine guns per company, and the battalion machine gun platoon was equipped with two Type 24 heavy machine guns.

The second battalion was all Type 38 rifles, with nine crooked handle machine guns or Type 96 machine guns in each company, and two Type 92 heavy machine guns in the battalion machine gun platoon. The third battalion is a mixed battalion because the 79 rifle and the 38 rifle are still somewhat insufficient, but it also achieves the company as the formation as much as possible, with the same caliber of weapons and ammunition can be used for each other.

The 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion consisted of Type 38 rifles, 9 crooked handles and Type 96 light machine guns. The eighth company is Liao 13 rifles and 9 79 machine guns. The Ninth Company is a mixture of the First Year rifle and the Manlicia rifle, and the machine gun is two Belgian machine guns, as well as two Kelari light machine guns and three Soviet-made turntable light machine guns.

The battalion's heavy machine gun platoon was equipped with two Meiji 38 Type 65 heavy machine guns. The weapons of the third battalion were somewhat miscellaneous, especially the machine guns of the Ninth Company and two calibers. There is still a big gap in the performance of the Zerari light machine gun compared with the Czech and Belgian machine guns. The Type 38 heavy machine gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun are also far from comparable.

However, Li Ziyuan agreed to be very dissatisfied, thinking that the regiment commander had openly divided the three battalions into three battalion commanders of the 369th class, and would replace all their machine guns whenever he had the opportunity. However, at present, the number of machine guns in the army cannot be fully established, so for the time being, it can only be mixed. However, although the caliber of the weapons of the third battalion is a little messy, this is better than nothing.

Each battalion and each company was equipped with two grenadiers. The battalion belonged to a machine gun platoon, and in addition to the heavy machine guns, there were two Soviet-made light machine guns. The regiment was directly subordinate to a machine gun company directly under the regiment, equipped with four Soviet-made heavy machine guns, two turntable light machine guns, and one 13-mm anti-aircraft machine gun. A mountain artillery company with one mountain artillery and two infantry guns, and a mortar company equipped with four mortars.

There is also a communications company, an engineer company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company directly under the regiment, and a baggage company. and a small artillery platoon equipped with 37 flat-fire guns and 20-mm small guns. There is no longer a single Jin-made Type 38 rifle in the whole regiment, and all the original Jin-made weapons have been transferred to stockpiles except for some* and two machine guns.

The extra Soviet-made light and heavy machine guns were also transferred to reserves. Because of the difficulty in the source of Soviet-made ammunition, Li Ziyuan collected all the Soviet-made machine guns below the battalion level, except for two left for the third battalion. Ammunition was concentrated in stockpiles and supplied to machine gun companies directly under the regiment.

Despite the fact that one battalion was somewhat disorganized, the regiment was now fully armed and equipped to the level of one light machine gun per squad. However, compared with before, Li Ziyuan reduced the number of machine guns in the troops. The battalion was a heavy machine gun, and finally compressed to two.

Heavy machine guns are powerful, but they are also quite bulky. Whether it is a Soviet-made Makqin, a nationally made, or a ninety-two type, there are more than 100 kilograms. There are too many machine guns, and when the troops do not have many mules and horses, it will seriously affect the speed and efficiency of the troops.

Therefore, Li Ziyuan adjusted the establishment of heavy machine guns below the battalion level. The surplus Chinese-made Makqin and the 30th section each have two each, one French-made 79 heavy machine gun and two Type 92 heavy machine guns, and Soviet-made machine guns have been transferred to stock. It is not that the three battalions were not given an extra seven or nine heavy machine guns, but that the problem of ammunition was taken into account.

Having a gun without ammunition is basically the same as having no gun. Since joining the Red Army, Li Ziyuan has suffered enough from the lack of ammunition. And since he started to be alone, the problem of ammunition is also the most headache for him, and there is absolutely no one. In every battle, he had to be careful about how to capture the maximum amount of ammunition with the minimum consumption.
