Li Ziyuan's words, Liu Yanlai's face was unusually solemn and nodded. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. However, after hesitating for a moment, Liu Yanlai said: "Lao Li, it stands to reason that I shouldn't open my mouth at this time. But it's not the district team of the third district, it's time to return it to the third district. You are mainly active in District 2, and District 2 has your activities of staying at home, and there is basically no problem. ”

"But there are not many basic militias in the three districts now, and now the anti-sweeping 'sweeping' battle is imminent, and the three districts are not even armed. During this time, I have mobilized fifty new recruits for you one after another, and I can also make up for the vacancy of transferring some people. The district team of the three districts that you replaced the whole training, is it time to return to Zhao, this is what you said at the beginning. ”

Regarding Liu Yanlai's request, Li Ziyuan was a little hesitant. To be honest, judging from the current situation, it is appropriate to return the district team that trained for the third district to the third district. But at present, the anti-sweeping 'sweeping' battle is imminent, and at this time, 'handing over' back will weaken his own strength. Thirty recruits who have completed their training are undoubtedly a good strength.

But considering the current situation in the third district, Li Ziyuan only hesitated for a short time, then nodded and said, "Lao Liu, there's nothing to say." Since I promised to return to Zhao after the end, I will return to Zhao. In this district team, I asked Liu Lianming to be the captain. Equip them with a 'strong' light machine gun, thirty mines, thirty Japanese grenades, and thirty rounds of ammunition per person. ”

"But that's right, I can leave the machine gun to the third district, but Liu Lianming is only temporarily borrowing it to the third district. When the anti-sweep is over, your brother will have to return to Zhao for me. And you, Lao Liu, now that you have officially taken office as secretary of the county party committee, you have to think of a way for me to promise to 'get' some reserve soldiers for me. ”

"This anti-sweeping operation may be an unprecedented test for us. I don't dare to guarantee how many casualties will be after a battle. But at the critical moment, the higher authorities came with an order, that is, we have to complete the task even if our troops are exhausted. So Lao Liu, it's not okay if the reserve soldiers are not sufficient. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan's 'fleshy' expression, and after hearing his bargaining, Liu Yanlai's face barely 'showed' a smile and said, "Then Lao Li, let's become a 'friend'?" As for the replenishment of troops, you can rest assured that I will take it into account. As long as you, Lao Li, can fight out, then I will make up as much as you want to replenish the soldiers. ”

"However, the guard assigned to me has not many bullets left in the shell gun, and the gun is getting old and losing its teeth. Shouldn't your brother be more generous? I know you've got a lot of money out of it this time. Outside the Qiaokou stronghold, I heard that you made two Spanish-made shell guns. ”

Regarding Liu Yanlai's blackmail, Li Ziyuan turned his head to Guan Li and Chang Juan a little depressed and said, "Lao Guan, why do you think I fell in love with such a white-eyed wolf in the first place?" also because this guy carried a punishment, and he was almost not carried back to the partition to carry the cauldron. Let him do something, turn his head and ask for benefits. Gotta make me blind. ”

"When Secretary Liu left, he brought him 100 rounds of shell gun bullets. Also, the Spanish-made barge gun of the puppet army squadron leader that was seized at the Qiaokou stronghold two days ago, as well as the Dagu horse box, were also brought over to us, a white-eyed wolf. 'Milk' and 'milk', Lao Tzu sent a team, and he had to take two good guns, and the deal was lost. ”

Li Ziyuan's white-eyed wolf's evaluation, Liu Yanlai just laughed and said: "Lao Li, you kid don't get cheap and sell well." To tell the truth, your kid was transferred to Hubei to be armed, and to put it bluntly, the superiors want to use you to open up the situation. You kid can't tell you when you're going to be transferred and promoted. ”

"A few of us are busy with everything, but aren't we all preparing for your promotion? If you want two guns, your kid will have a 'meat' pain, and you're really an iron rooster. Let's Lao Liu don't say anything else, these eyes are still very accurate to see people. I've heard about the position of the head of the divisional reconnaissance section, but I've kept it for you until now. ”

After Liu Yanlai's words, Li Ziyuan was a little unhappy: "Lao Liu, in front of the regular instructor and Lao Guan, don't talk nonsense." We are a brick of the revolution, and we need to move there. The superiors asked us to come to Hubei, and we must do a good job. As for the future, that's something that the superiors should consider. ”

"You are the secretary of the county party committee who Lao Tzu pushed up, for your kid, Lao Tzu has been a soldier for so many years, and it is the first time that he has won such a huge honor from the whole region's circular. Now up to the division commander, political commissar, commander of the military region, head of the Northern Bureau, down to the men and horsemen of the sub-district and prefectural committees, they all know Lao Tzu now. ”

"Lao Tzu is so famous now, but it's all thanks to your old boy. So you old boy remember to Lao Tzu, if you don't do a good job, don't say that Lao Tzu will turn his face when he says it. You, the secretary of the county party committee, I can push you up, and Lao Tzu can also drag you down, believe it or not. Whether you, the secretary of the county party committee, can do a good job is a matter related to Lao Tzu's face. ”

"So, you kid don't mess around here. What I want is a county party committee that can support me, not a guy who thinks about this, that, useful and useless things all day long. We are a melon on a vine, and what we need now is to be in the same boat. ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's criticism, Liu Yanlai rolled his eyes and didn't say anything more. But there are some things that Liu Yanlai is still very clear. He knew the commander of the military subdivision and admired Li Ziyuan, a military cadre. If it weren't for the fact that the situation in Hubei could not be opened for a long time and there was an urgent need for an effective military cadre, he would have been left in the sub-district to serve as an operational staff officer.

But at the moment, Li Ziyuan obviously didn't want to talk about this issue, so Liu Yanlai obeyed his wishes and didn't say much about this matter. The two of them conducted some careful study and pondering about the Japanese army's sweep that they were about to face. After Liu Yanlai slept in Li Jiawa all night, he rushed to the prefectural party committee with Guan Li.

After Liu Yan came and left, Li Ziyuan immediately took action. In light of the tactical characteristics of the Japanese army, he began to ponder how to use his existing equipment and ammunition reserves to inflict maximum damage on the Japanese puppet army at the lowest cost, and to guard the southwest 'gate' of the Taihang base area for the military region.

But the development of the situation did not leave much time for Li Ziyuan. By October 11, the brief lull that had followed the war had been shattered. The reconnaissance post monitoring the Qiaokou stronghold reported that the puppet army had been stationed at the Qiaokou stronghold from Hubei County for more than 700 days. These Japanese puppet troops carried at least three 'guns' of mountain artillery.

The intelligence from the sub-division showed that the Japanese puppet army in other directions had also begun to sweep the Taihang base area. The sub-district demanded that Li Ziyuan, the main force and the troops of the military region have now all been transferred to the anti-sweeping and 'sweeping' operation, and he must pay attention to the movements of the Japanese puppet army in Hubei.

On the second day after Li Ziyuan received the report from his superiors, more than 500 Japanese troops who had already been stationed in Qiaokou set out from Qiaokou in a vigorous manner and attacked and advanced along the north of the pot in the direction of Licheng. At the same time, the Japanese puppet army in Hubei and Ludong also concentrated more than 300 Japanese troops, all the strength of the puppet garrisons in the two counties, plus a regiment of the puppet Jin Nanjian, to carry out a sweep of the mountainous areas in the east of Hubei and Ludong.

All of a sudden, in the mountainous areas of eastern Hubei and in Ludong, almost every village smoked and every household was on fire, and the entire territory under the jurisdiction of the Ludong Military Sub-district was full of wolf smoke. In the face of the concentrated superior forces and firepower of the Japanese puppet army, a large-scale sweep was carried out under the guidance of aircraft. The entire Ludong Army sub-district concentrated all its forces and turned into an all-round anti-sweeping and 'sweeping' operation.

And Li Ziyuan, who was in the core area of the Japanese puppet army's sweep and 'sweep', and the main route of the Japanese army's 'interspersed', felt the greatest pressure. The basic regiment of the division was attracted by the more than 200 Japanese troops dispatched in Ludong and a large number of puppet troops, so they had no time to take care of the Hubei battlefield.

Although the strength of more than 100 Japanese troops and more than 300 puppet troops dispatched from Luoma and Qiaokou was not as good as that in Ludong, it also brought him tremendous pressure. The most important thing is that the hundreds of Japanese troops who passed through the north of the pot to Li Cheng made Li Ziyuan feel quite dangerous.

Looking at the route of action of the Japanese army marked on the map, as well as the area where the Japanese puppet army swept 'sweep' in Ludong and Hubei. Li Ziyuan had a feeling that the entire 'sweeping' operation of the Japanese puppet army in the mountainous areas of Ludong and the eastern part of Hubei was coordinated with this Japanese army to penetrate and 'intersperse' in the direction of Licheng.

At present, the attention of the entire military subdivision is attracted by the Japanese puppet army in Ludong. Once he can't hold back this Japanese army, let him cross Hubei, then he will directly enter Licheng. It is the core area of the entire Taihang base area, with arsenals, rear field hospitals, and a large number of wounded and sick in Licheng.

If this Japanese army is allowed to penetrate deep into Licheng, then the losses will be quite large. Not to mention the eyeball-like arsenal of the headquarters, there are still a large number of wounded people who have been fighting for two months behind him. No matter what, he will drag this Japanese army in Hubei.

After making up his mind, Li Ziyuan and Liu Yanlai, who had just returned from the prefectural committee and sub-district, quickly divided their work. Liu Yanlai commanded the two district squads, as well as all the basic militia that could be put together, to drag down the Japanese puppet army dispatched from Luoma and Qiaokou in the form of sparrow warfare. And he himself commanded the basic guerrillas to deal with the more than 500 Japanese troops.

Li Ziyuan is the kind of person who will not look back easily once he has made up his mind. He will definitely fight the more than 500 Japanese troops first, and he will definitely not give up because the enemy is strong and we are weak. Although Li Ziyuan also knew what kind of difficulties and dangers these more than 500 Japanese troops who were also equipped with three 'guns' mountain artillery meant to his own army, which was currently less than 200 people.

And facing Li Ziyuan, who had made up his mind in front of him, Liu Yanlai, who clearly knew the danger behind Li Ziyuan's determination, held Li Ziyuan's hand tightly when he was about to part, and said: "Old Li, you must not hold on." I think that the main force of the military region will definitely come to reinforce after receiving the news. Your main task is to hold them back, not fight them to the death. ”

Looking at Liu Yanlai, who was worried in front of him, Li Ziyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Liu, I know what to do, so you don't have to worry about me." You have to take good care of yourself and protect the villagers in our base area. The nights are long, the wind is strong, and there are many wolves, so you must pay attention. Especially Liang De's side, you must be on guard. ”

After 'handing' Liu Yanlai, Li Ziyuan found Liu Lianming again and said: "Don't be arrogant, you kid, you must listen to Secretary Liu's command." I can 'hand' over to you the basic militia of the second and third districts, as well as so many fellow villagers. While you have to protect them, you also have to give Lao Tzu a good chance to come back alive. The two of us can settle accounts after the autumn, don't let me even find someone to settle accounts when the time comes. ”
