Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan tapped on the map and said, "Lao He, you can come up with a plan now." When the training of the troops is completed, let's clean up this guy. At least let him be honest, otherwise this local snake will cause much greater damage to our base area than the Japanese army. ”

"Especially now that the Japanese army is being redeployed, the 36th Division, which was originally familiar with the situation, is being transferred away one after another. The newly transferred 69th Division of the Japanese Army is newly formed, and the old foundation originally fought in Jinzhong, but they are all newly transferred to our side, and they are not very familiar with the situation. ”

"To get rid of this guy is to knock out the eyes and ears of the devil. Without the help of these local snakes, the newly transferred devils are blind and deaf, and they can alleviate a great threat. Even if he can't solve this guy, at least he won't dare to be so public. ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's worries and thoughts, He Sanliang thought for a while and said: "Regiment Commander, intelligence support is indeed very important, I don't think we can wait passively. Before the information from Secretary Liu came, we could start touching it ourselves without startling the snake. Also, can we enlist the support of the divisional intelligence? ”

"I'll think about the matter of fighting the fake garrison. However, for now, our focus is on rescuing the captured masses. Otherwise, the recovery of the base area will be even slower. As for the livestock, it would be best if they could get it back. But our rescue operations should still be people-oriented. When people are rescued, other things are easy to say. ”

"And this Wang Tieshi, now taking family ransom, and joint Jubao is not the Eighth Road, and even the signature does not work for us, and if he does not participate in the Eighth Road, he can bring people out, which is obviously competing with us for the hearts of the people. This guy is digging into our walls this way. ”

"Regiment commander, this matter does not seem to be anything on the surface, but in fact, it is quite harmful to the entire Ludong Army Division, which is related to the problem of the people's will. Therefore, whether it is political influence or other directions, the current action to save lives should be accelerated. ”

Li Ziyuan thought about it, grabbed a pen and paper, and personally drafted a telegram to the military sub-district. After writing it, Li Ziyuan pondered for a while and added some more content. Then he handed the telegram to He Sanliang and asked him to go to the radio station to watch the telegram be sent. He Sanliang's suggestion made Li Ziyuan very excited, but he still needs some consideration on specific issues.

Looking at the back of He Sanliang leaving, Li Ziyuan played with the pen in his hand for a while, and inserted the pen back into his pocket. stood up, and just wanted someone to find Liu Lianming, but saw Dong Ping appear in front of him again. Li Ziyuan, who scratched his head, could only let Dong Ping in first.

Dong Ping, who came uninvited, saw Li Ziyuan in front of him, and after a deep groan, he said: "Commander, my old brothers, I talked to them roughly, and basically agreed to stay. It's just that the mood is still a little unstable, and he asks if he can divide them into a formed unit. ”

Regarding this request, Li Ziyuan did not answer immediately, but first beckoned Dong Ping to sit down, and then hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Old Dong, let's be clear-sighted and don't talk about foreign words." Do you think I might agree to this request? It is not a question of trust or distrust, but of unity within the troops. ”

"It doesn't matter what kind of faction you were in before, but now you are living and fighting under one roof, and you are all a family. In doing so, first of all, it affects unity. Everyone comes from all over the world, and we can't use the structure of the old army and our hometowns to engage in any kind of gang-forming mountaineering doctrine. ”

"In one, the situation in our troops is more complicated now. Let's not talk about the hometowns and places of origin of the soldiers, where they are and where they are from. First of all, the old troops before you include recruits from the former 27th Army, soldiers from the former Wang Puppet Second Front Army, and soldiers from the old Eighth Road. ”

"With the addition of your soldiers from the first 40th Army, so many people with different identities before are pinched together, the first thing to solve is the problem of integration. The previous rules and regulations must be broken, and you should know this from a veteran. Not being able to really blend together is absolutely fatal for an army. ”

"Over there, it's divided into lineage and miscellaneous armies. However, on this side, apart from the main force and the local armed forces, our troops do not have such a situation in which there is a difference between inside and outside, and between relatives and relatives. Here, whether you want to enjoy the treatment of the main force, or go to the local army, depends on your performance on the battlefield, not on your closeness to your superiors. ”

"Besides, these people's demands, if I agree. Then the fighters from other backgrounds have to be incorporated into a system according to their origins, do you say I agree or disagree? Mountaineering must be broken, this is inevitable. Moreover, our troops absolutely must not have mountaineering, still less can there be a situation in which soldiers are about to be. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at Dong Ping, who was silent, hesitated for a moment, but still said resolutely: "Old Dong, you have been fighting in the warlord army for nearly 20 years, and I believe you know better than me all the dangers of mountaineering and military generals." If the internal system of a unit is not straightened out, what combat effectiveness is there there? ”

"Since the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, how much has the army over there suffered in this regard? Including the 40th Army, where you were originally from, there were only two divisions in total, but two small groups were formed. Tell me for yourself, after your corps was organized into two divisions, did the combat effectiveness increase compared with the original one division, or did it actually decline? ”

"It is true that by assigning these people into a unit according to the original structure, the impact on combat effectiveness can be minimized. But this is only superficial, and it is only temporary. As a matter of fact, this tendency of mountaineering has a fatal and long-term impact on both the combat effectiveness and the centripetal force of the troops. ”

"If mountaineering is not broken, our army will not be able to get rid of the faults of those old armies. Therefore, I would rather not have this combat effectiveness on paper, and I will never allow my troops to appear mountain-topping. I promise that these people will be used only according to their amounts, and there will be absolutely no discrimination. ”

"Those who are capable will be promoted, and those who can fight will be given the same treatment. Our Eighth Route Army is not the kind of army that kills devils to eliminate troubles, and kills miscellaneous cards to eliminate internal worries. As long as we can fight, obey orders and listen to commands, we will treat everyone equally. But their requests, I can't meet. ”

Li Ziyuan's words were categorical, and there was no half-compromise in his tone. Even if it was a temporary compromise, he didn't agree, which made Dong Ping a little embarrassed. Dong Ping also knows what his old brothers mean. They were just worried that the commander of the Eighth Route would use them as gunmen, go to the battlefield to fight and pull them down, and borrow knives from the hands of the Japanese army to kill people.

When they were over there, this kind of thing was not uncommon for them. Let the badge army with extremely poor equipment fight hard with the devils in front and consume the strength of the devils, while the well-equipped central army will supervise the battle behind them. These people have been in the motley army for a long time, thinking that they are all birds. That's why it's required to be incorporated into an organization, at least everyone can be in a group at a critical time.

Originally, Dong Ping thought that Li Ziyuan would compromise temporarily, at least stabilize the emotions of these people first, and then slowly straighten it out. The first is to stabilize these people in a short period of time, and the second is to give yourself a face. But Dong Ping didn't expect that Li Ziyuan refused directly without any hesitation. And obviously, he didn't even give himself a chance to bargain.

Li Ziyuan's attitude made Dong Ping a little uncomfortable. Despite Li Ziyuan's explanation, he also knew that it was very reasonable. But after all, everyone is still in a period of integration, and if Li Ziyuan has a softer attitude, he can still shorten this period of integration. Relatively you can also effectively play the quality and ability of these old brothers.

looked at Dong Ping, who was a little red after saying that he had made his own decision. Li Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Old Dong, go and explain it to your brothers, and let them experience the difference between the two armies more." Their worries, I don't don't understand. But understanding doesn't mean I have to accept it. ”

"And you, I really hope that you can completely break this mountain prejudice and become my right-hand man in the military. Talents like you, as long as you are truly integrated, I guarantee that your talents will be fully developed. Not only you, but also Wang Jun. As long as there are people who fight devils, we will use them according to their talents, so that they have a place to give full play to their abilities. ”

"I don't want to say the dangers of mountaineering, I don't want to say it again. But what I want to say is that since you have entered this team, you must believe in this team, and even more so in your regiment commander and political commissar, as well as your comrades-in-arms. Some things are said three times as light, more products, more looks, you will know the difference between this side and that side. ”

"Lao Dong, let's not tell lies in front of real people. In front of you, I will tell you the truth. This time we did win a big battle, but the real situation has not completely changed. At present, the situation is extremely unoptimistic, natural disasters and man-made disasters are mixed together, and the entire army is in a serious predicament. ”

"Your original station, Lin County, is also in the Taihang Mountains. You are also aware of last year's natural disasters. This year's spring drought has now completely fallen, and how to spend this year's days, I am now a lawsuit. The question of eating is important or not, you are a veteran, you don't understand. ”

"At this difficult time, I need everyone to work together to overcome the current natural and man-made disasters. I don't have a lot of energy to focus on our internal disputes. What I need now is for everyone to work together to get through this disaster. Instead of focusing our limited energy on the endless internal strife, and on straightening out the relations within our own troops.

"I need everyone's help to integrate a force with a complex internal composition, with fighters and even some cadres from all over the world, into an army of iron instead of sand. At this time, it is necessary to look at the exemplary role of the cadres, and what we do as cadres, that is, the officers over there, has a direct bearing on the stability of the troops. ”

"If there is no internal order within the army, there will always be a great crisis. You don't know the old Northwest Army where you used to belong, as well as the situation inside your Jicha theater. Lao Dong, at this time, we need to work together, instead of artificially creating estrangement and contradictions here. ”

"You are a veteran-turned-officer with a lot of experience in military practice. The reason why I left you as a staff officer at the regiment headquarters is that I want you to cooperate with Lao He, arrest military training, and help Lao He reduce some of his burden. I hope you can understand and accept this. If you really can't figure out something, just talk to Lao He or the old squad leader, and they will give you the answer. ”
