Speaking of this, the division commander's gaze became more serious, and he paused before continuing: "Second, who are you fooling with in the compilation table reported by your kid?" In the battle of Ludong, the casualties of your troops were indeed not small. But after the end of that battle, your troops were not lightly wounded, but at least more than 900 people. ”

"But with that the wounded you have sent to hospitals at all levels, as well as the lightly wounded who can recuperate at your own station, there are far more than nine hundred. In addition, your three battalions have now been rebuilt, and if you take the remaining hundred or so people of the three battalions, and the dozens of wounded who are handed over to the care of the brother troops, your boy's army should have at least 1,200 men. ”

"On the establishment sheet you sent the day before yesterday, it was reported that it was just over 900, which means that you set me up for an ambush with a whole formed battalion. Li Ziyuan, are you so easy to fool me and the political commissar, or when others can't see it when their collective eyes are bad? You kid have nothing to do with me, are you afraid that your superiors will transfer your troops, or do you have other thoughts?"

"And this weaponry, your number is not right, did you kid ambush me? In the battle of Ludong, the number of light and heavy machine guns you had was at least more than double that on your compilation table. It stands to reason that the troops are scattered and active, and the military region should not be too stuck in the strength of your troops. But there is one thing that both the commissar and I would like to remind you that you have to take into account the affordability of the locality. ”

"Last year's drought in the southeast of Shanxi Province was not light, and this year, since the beginning of spring, there has been almost no rain, and the drought has been quite obvious. If the spring drought continues, this year may be another year of famine. Moreover, the Japanese army's sweep of the Taihang base area this time caused more damage than in previous years. ”

"The grain that was robbed of the entire Taihang base area reached millions of stones. A large number of clothes and bedding were burned or plundered by the Japanese puppet army. There are even a few districts where the grain stocks have either been destroyed or stolen by the Japanese puppet army, and they still need relief. A large number of livestock have been plundered, which has seriously affected agricultural production. ”

"Especially your Ludong Army Division, this time it is the top priority of the Japanese puppet army's sweep, and the loss is also the largest in the whole region. Half of the food stocks in the sub-district were destroyed and two thirds of the livestock were killed or looted. Thousands of people were killed, and more than 2,000 young and middle-aged people were kidnapped. The vitality of the entire Ludong region has not even recovered in a few years. ”

"Killing people and raising soldiers, that's not what our Eighth Route Army did. It is important to maintain combat effectiveness, but the bearing capacity of the common people should also be considered. At present, the entire base area is in the most severe and difficult situation since the establishment of the Taihang base area. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued one after another, and the lives of ordinary people have fallen into hardship. ”

"You kid can't only think about the expansion of your own troops, but also consider whether the people can support you. How many catties of millet do ordinary people need to pay to feed a warrior? The year of the catastrophe was again after the unprecedented sweep of the Japanese army. The people of the entire southeast of Shanxi are tightening their belts on food and clothing, and how much food can they come up with? ”

"At present, the whole army is ready to streamline the administration of the army to a large extent, reduce the main force, and localize the main force. Several brigades were abolished and incorporated into various military divisions. Even some of the local armed forces were directly changed to non-full-time troops. You kid also have to implement the regulations of the military region, don't go too far in this regard. ”

"Not only should we not increase the burden on the station, but we must also find ways to be self-reliant in order to reduce the burden on the local people. Work with the local people to tide over the current difficulties. You can expand your troops if you want, but you can solve the problem of supply yourself. As for whether you go to the Japanese puppet army to rob it, or if you plant it yourself, we can't control it. However, there is one clause that does not increase the burden on the common people. ”

"Also, most of the weapons seized this time will be handed over. You kid are not allowed to hide or tuck, like a rich man who picks and searches, and you are not allowed to ambush me. Those weapons are given to you, can you raise them kid? Especially those Soviet-caliber weapons, the limited seizures are exhausted, where do you go to replenish them? ”

Speaking of which, the old handsome looked at Li Ziyuan, who put on an honest face and bowed his head to accept criticism. But after shaking his head and smiling bitterly for a while, after a deep sigh, he still spoke: "What do you plan to do with the people of the Forty Army who are there to contain the Forty Army?" Do you want to be incorporated or deported? ”

"According to our intelligence, their boss Pang has officially surrendered to the enemy after being captured. As the director of the Kaifeng Pacification Office of the Wang puppet, the Japanese army and the Wang puppet regime had already organized his troops into one army. and the New Fifth Army, which surrendered to the enemy at the same time, was organized into a group army. ”

It is still unknown whether this situation will cause psychological changes in these people. You must know that their boss Pang has the prestige among the forty officers and soldiers. And almost all the people in this army were brought up by him. After all the warlord melee battles, it has not collapsed, and the internal cohesion is quite strong. ”

"You kid should pay attention to the mental movements of these people, and if it really doesn't work, send them out. Their troops, which had not surrendered to the enemy, had withdrawn to the south bank of the Yellow River. If they really can't stabilize, the military region will send people to send them across the Yellow River. Remember, some things go too far. And your troops, the current composition is a little too complicated, and it needs to be put in order. ”

"In a few days, the military region will send some cadres to serve in your troops, mainly political work cadres, and first completely set up your grass platform team. Don't have any resistance to the subordinate cadres, and cooperate with them well. In particular, we must cooperate well with the troops in rectifying the troops. ”

"I know you have a donkey's temper, and you can't rub sand in your eyes. However, you must remember that the internal stability of the army is the key to whether or not your troops can survive in the current complex situation. A momentary performance, not a lifetime performance. Therefore, you kid must cooperate with them well this time and do a good job in the rectification of the troops. ”

Hearing the words of the division commander, Li Ziyuan thought about it for a while, and still spoke: "Division commander, although the people of the 40th Army I have taken in are all veterans, they still have a strong sense of nationality and justice. I don't think their commanders have defected, and they will rebel with them. ”

"These people are very strong in combat effectiveness, and they made a lot of effort during the Battle of Ludong. Especially that Dong Ping, although he was only a battalion deputy over there, he performed very well on the battlefield. Both the control of the troops and the grasp of the fighters have a certain level. To be honest, there are not many cadres at the battalion level in our troops who can compare. ”

"I'd like to keep them if I can. These people are good and I believe a good knife. Commander, I still want to try. As my troops continue to become fuller, the military cadres themselves are insufficient. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been forced to go to other troops to pull people. ”

"Division commander, a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find. This Dong Ping is a battalion commander, and there is no problem at all. Of course, it is impossible to directly give him a battalion now, but with such a cadre at the division commander, the resources I can mobilize are even more sufficient. Commander, can you give me a little time? ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's request, the division commander pondered for a long time and finally nodded. Just when Li Ziyuan thought that the division commander's conversation with him had ended, the division commander suddenly spoke again: "Li Ziyuan, I remember that you were fifteen years old when you joined the Red Army in three or five years, and this year it seems that you are twenty-three years old, and you are the youngest regimental cadre in our whole division now. ”

Hearing the division commander suddenly ask about his age, Li Ziyuan hurriedly said: "Teacher, you are not mistaken, I was born in 20 and am twenty-three years old this year. However, I don't know if it is the youngest regiment-level cadre in the whole division, and our cadres are not very old. ”

Li Ziyuan's answer, the division commander waved his hand and said, "Li Ziyuan, do you know what I admire most about you?" It's the momentum in you that dares to be embarrassed. You kid is very bold, although he is usually a little arrogant, but he is still very careful when he arrives on the battlefield. ”

"It's good to be young, but sometimes it's a little impulsive. At this point, you, as a person leading troops, must pay attention. In considering and handling some matters, we must pay more attention to some methods and conditions, and we must properly handle relations with fraternal units. ”

After the division commander finished speaking, Li Ziyuan suddenly understood what the division commander meant. He must have sent someone to the territory of Huguan to rediscover the materials that had been buried at the beginning, so that the people of the Fourth Division could find them. It is estimated that the troops of the four divisions are probably worried about these weapons.

Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan hurriedly stood up and said, "Division commander, all the weapons and ammunition I buried in Huguan have been handed over. As for how to divide the division, it is still mainly based on the division. But commander, can you leave me some ammunition and *? In the battle of Ludong, my ammunition consumption was quite large. ”

Seeing Li Ziyuan, he immediately understood what he meant, and the division commander nodded with satisfaction. He pointed to his nose and said, "You're still smart." In this way, when the weapons and supplies are returned, you will be left with a portion of the ammunition and the rest will be handed in. The batch of weapons that your boy captured at Basongling, except for the hundred guns left behind, also handed over to me. ”

"The troops of the military region suffered heavy losses in the anti-sweeping battle, and all units are currently in dire need of ammunition. In the troops of the entire Taihang District, the machine gun ammunition exceeds a base, except for you, no regiment can reach it. One of your regiments, now with more light and heavy machine guns and mortars, is more than one of the other divisions. ”

"You kid can't feed and clothe himself, and he even eats a little. The fraternal troops around you don't even have enough to eat. However, this time we will not take your weapons and ammunition for nothing. I'll ask the logistics department to allocate a batch of iron mines for you, which we have made ourselves based on*. ”

Hearing the words of the division commander, Li Ziyuan was somewhat painful. Forget about what was captured in Huguan before, this time even the materials captured in the battle of Basongling were confiscated. I thought that thanks to my own ambush, I would have to pay a lot of money this time.

Even if the division commander gives him those compensations, the lethality of those things can only be counted. The base area itself made*, and the power is far less than that of the puppet army's use of Bongzao* and Japanese*. As for those soil*, it's still two words, at most it's a little bit better than nothing.

It's just that these words, given Li Ziyuan eight guts, he didn't dare to say it in front of the division commander. Although the flesh was pumping in pain, Li Ziyuan could only grit his teeth and admit it. Fortunately, I still have some old foundation, although the inventory is not too much, but if you save a little use, you can support it for a while.
