Chapter 689: Newlywed

Yang Jing is very clear about Li Ziyuan's undead heart, Ma Yongcheng is very clear. Although there was nothing to say between the two of them, this stone became the biggest obstacle between themselves and Yang Jing. Now that Li Ziyuan is also getting married, I think that after the last glimmer of hope in Yang Jing's heart is shattered, he can get back on track.

Li Ziyuan only hopes now that Yang Jing, a woman who is good at drilling the horns and can't get out if she goes in, will come out as soon as possible. Li Ziyuan was not worried about himself, but really worried about Tang Qiao. Although there are no rumors in the troops, once this kind of thing spreads, the lethality to a female comrade is still quite strong.

At that time, Tang Qiao, who was pregnant with Liujia, could not bear it, Li Ziyuan was very worried. It's just that Yang Jing is a woman, and Li Ziyuan can't control it. Now Li Ziyuan is at this point, all he can do is wait. This makes him, who has always liked to take the initiative, feel like a tiger has nowhere to eat.

However, although his superiors have approved his marriage report, at least until Chang Juan recovers from his injuries and is discharged from the hospital, Li Ziyuan has to continue to live his single life for the time being. After returning from the hospital, Li Ziyuan focused on the adjustment and training of the troops. On the other hand, they are also paying attention to the affairs of the General Hospital.

Originally, he was already ready to threaten Yang Jing and break the net. But there was no movement from the General Hospital. In other words, Yang Jing's threat is only verbal. In fact, he didn't really take any action, which made Li Ziyuan completely relieved.

Ma Yongcheng, who went to visit his wife in the hospital once during the period, disappeared from the slightly melancholy feeling on his face after returning, and was replaced by a spring breeze on his face. Judging from Ma Yongcheng's performance, maybe Yang Jing really figured it out this time and knew that she had fulfilled her obligations as a wife. At least it shouldn't be like in the past, with big bags all over the head.

In mid-February, Chang Juan was finally discharged from the hospital. Li Ziyuan personally led people and picked Chang Juan back from the General Hospital. Originally, when he went to pick up Chang Juan, Li Ziyuan wanted to see Tang Qiao. But Tang Qiao has always avoided him. When Li Ziyuan arrived at the hospital, Tang Qiao chose to follow a medical team to the army for inspection.

Originally, according to her current situation, she should not have been on this round. But after Tang Qiao learned that Li Ziyuan was coming to pick up Chang Juan, he insisted on participating despite his big belly. On the first day of Li Ziyuan's arrival at the General Hospital, Tang Qiao went down with the medical team.

Knowing that Tang Qiao was consciously avoiding himself, Li Ziyuan could only return sadly. He is now worried about Tang Qiao's body, and he can't worry about Chang Juan, who is about to become his real wife. Li Ziyuan, who was in a dilemma, looked at Chang Juan with a happy face, and finally chose to cherish the person in front of him.

After returning to the station, Li Ziyuan and Chang Juan held a lively but rather simple wedding. The head of the sub-district came uninvited, and also brought two jars of Shanxi famous wine Xinghua Village. The old squad leader also did his best to gather a table for Li Ziyuan, which was not a sumptuous one, but it was also a good wedding banquet at this time when the green and yellow were not available.

Of course, there were not too many people who attended Li Ziyuan's wedding, except for a few regimental cadres and staff officers and officers of the regimental headquarters, as well as a representative from each of the three battalions. At this time, the Eighth Route Army had strict discipline, and if they wanted to take the opportunity of the wedding to make a big deal and take the opportunity to collect some dowry, they didn't even think about it.

If anyone does a big job at this time, he will have to deal with the position he has earned for the rest of his life. Even when a senior cadre gets married, it is just a lively crowd for the people around him. What's more, Li Ziyuan is just a cadre at the regimental level. The divisional commander and commissar have arrived, that is, the best.

There are two tables in total, and one table is no more than six dishes. Except for a seized canned beef roasted radish on each table, a chicken and duck stewed together and divided into two portions, plus a bowl of tofu stewed with crucian carp, there was no other meat, not even a simple wine banquet with scrambled eggs. More than a dozen large porcelain bowls were poured with wine, congratulating the newlyweds on the revolution, and it was a wedding in the end.

Originally, he killed a duck, but in the end, Li Ziyuan's landlord couldn't see it. He killed one of the chickens he fed and stewed with the duck. He also asked his eldest son to go to the Zhanghe River dozens of miles away to get more than a dozen crucian carp, so that he could get enough meat dishes for three.

Because of the chicken and those crucian carp, Li Ziyuan almost emptied his little food tail to make up for it. Although the landlord refused to ask for it, Li Ziyuan finally gave some money. That chicken may be the family's oil, salt, sauce and vinegar money for a year. Now that he killed for his wedding and didn't compensate for it, Li Ziyuan couldn't help it.

The old squad leader originally planned to kill a sheep, but Li Ziyuan disagreed. Sheep belong to the public, are organized by the soldiers for large-scale production and breeding, and are the main source of production funds and meat for the whole regiment. It is not for oneself alone, and this point is public and private, and it must not cross the line.

In fact, the reason why Li Ziyuan's prestige in the army is so high is not just because he can fight. Another key point is to be able to truly share the weal and woe with the soldiers. Although according to the regulations, he can enjoy it

After a three-day honeymoon period, Chang Juan returned to the county government residence. Although the two are not far away, they still live the life of a weekend husband and wife in accordance with the discipline of the army. At this point, Li Ziyuan is very strict with himself. Compared with Ma Yongcheng, who can only see each other once in two months, Li Ziyuan is very content to meet his wife once a week.

And at the same time that Li Ziyuan officially stepped into the marriage hall, the surrounding hostility has also changed a lot. This time, the 62nd Division suffered a big loss, but it was extremely rare that it did not retaliate in any way. On the contrary, the strength of the 62nd Division was constantly shrinking, and most of the 62nd Division had begun to move south.

The main force of the First Army of the Japanese army in Shanxi also gradually began to move south. The entire Changzhi and Hubei areas were full of Japanese troops. Although it is still unclear for the time being that the true strategic intentions of the Japanese army will take its next step, the entire Taihang Military Region has also entered the first-level alert of the whole line, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The Japanese army moved frequently, and the puppet independent division that originally competed with Wang Tieshi for interests was completely annihilated. At present, the biggest beneficiary of the entire Ludong area is the original Wang Tieshi Department of the puppet Ludong Joint Defense Garrison Command. At the beginning of April, the puppet army was incorporated into the puppet North China Pacification Army under the jurisdiction of the Puppet North China Pacification Administration, and was reorganized into the 12th Group of the North China Pacification Army.

Wang Tieshi, the original junior officer of the old Jin Sui Army, was promoted to the rank of major general this time. The 12th Group of the puppet North China Pacification Army was changed to three infantry regiments and two independent battalions in accordance with the requirements of the Japanese army. And the newly released major general is still in full swing preparing to form a cavalry battalion.

Of course, this adaptation is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine. Not only are the puppet troops of the department still those people from top to bottom, not even a single soldier has been replaced. Except for the military uniforms on his body, which were changed from the full set of Japanese-style military uniforms of the original garrison to the military uniforms of the puppet North China Pacification Army, everything else was the same.

The puppet army was still under the control of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, and the puppet North China Pacification Administration had no right to interfere in terms of personnel, equipment, or establishment. All ammunition and material supplies, as well as the movement of personnel, remained under the control of the First Army. It's just that the military salary was raised by the original Ludong area and changed to the puppet Shanxi Provincial Government.

It's just that although the puppet North China Pacification Administration cannot control this puppet army, it is obviously in accordance with the establishment of the North China Pacification Army. Wang Tieshi forced strong men everywhere in the Ludong region, intending to expand his army to 6,000 men. This old brother, who suddenly changed from a miscellaneous puppet army to a puppet commander of the North China Appeasement Army Major General, now looks a little proud.

Of course, the problem of equipment cannot be solved for the time being. At present, the Japanese army's own equipment can only barely meet its needs, and it really can't draw many weapons for the expansion of this puppet army. But without weapons, no matter how many people these puppet armies are expanded, they can only be an ornament. Instead of reducing your pressure, it is still a burden.

In order to free up their hands as soon as possible, the Japanese army finally gritted its teeth and transferred 3800 Xin Si rifles, 30 Xin Si machine guns, and a batch of * and ammunition from the puppet North China Appeasement Administration. Of course, this bit of weapons and ammunition could not meet the needs at all, but the First Army also promised Wang Tieshi that he would be fully equipped within half a year.

In late March, after receiving a field reinforcement team transferred from the mainland, the 62nd Division withdrew from the southeast of Shanxi Province and headed for the banks of the Yellow River. The base camp of the Japanese army was based on the personnel left behind by the 62nd Division, plus some new recruits, to form the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade to take over the defense of the 62nd Division in the Changzhi area.

Among them, the 243rd Independent Infantry Brigade of the brigade was stationed in the Ludong area to take over the defense. Although this time an independent infantry brigade entered the southeast of Jinxi alone to take over the defense. However, compared with the 62nd Division, which was previously distributed between Zhengtai and the Nantongpu Railway, the total strength and response ability of this independent infantry brigade were too far behind.

However, all the troops of the department are stationed around Changzhi City, and the deployment of troops is relatively more concentrated. Although there was no direct artillery, the various infantry brigades of the division, in addition to being equipped with infantry guns, were generally reinforced with mortars. The entire unit is more capable and more suitable for mountain operations.

After the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade took over the defense of the 62nd Division, the 62nd Division moved to the banks of the Yellow River. On 17 April, the Japanese army concentrated 140,000 troops and more than 600 tanks and armored vehicles and launched an operation against the First Theater of Operations, which had all retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River.

There were more than 300,000 troops in the First War Zone, but they were divided into two armies that were not subordinate to each other, fought separately, and neither of them could command the strategic group. It could not resist the impact of the largest tank cluster dispatched by the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield. It was a rout on an unprecedented scale, and most of the strategic towns such as Xuchang, Zhengzhou, Dengfeng, Luohe, and Yuncheng fell into the hands of the enemy in just a few days.

By 25 May, the Japanese army had captured Luoyang. The main forces of the First Theater were routed on all fronts, and a large number of officers and men were disarmed and captured. A large amount of ammunition and food reserves fell into the hands of the enemy. The southern section of Pinghan Road was opened up and the initial strategic goal was completed. After the completion of the Battle of Henan-Zhong, the main force of the Japanese army immediately assembled and went south to fight.

In order to change the situation behind enemy lines in order to change the situation behind enemy lines on a large scale, during the Japanese army launched the Battle of Henan-Zhong. The Taihang Military Region mobilized troops and launched a small-scale strategic counteroffensive. On 29 March, Li Ziyuan's command post first cooperated with the troops of the 3rd Division to recover the county seat of Yushe with the troops of the 2nd Division.
