Chapter 213: Good Things Come in Pairs

Although Li Ziyuan was successively promoted to the post of commander of the independent brigade of the military region, he could only watch the other local units of the military region, and after being reorganized into several columns several times, they were pulled away and upgraded one by one, but he could only stay in the local troops. ΡˆΡ‰Ρˆ.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. The troops of the Taihang Military Region have been reorganized three times, and the third, sixth, and ninth main columns formed have not taken his turn.

Until the fourth reorganization of the Taihang Military Region in 48, it was also the time when the entire Taihang Military Region established the last column in the War of Liberation. I almost didn't sit on the bench of the local armed forces, although I always wore the hat of the local armed forces, but I followed the former commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army to fight in the Shanxi battlefield, and Li Ziyuan, who had been used as the main force, was incorporated into this column.

watched the brother troops being upgraded one by one, galloping on the battlefields of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and the Central Plains, but they have been fighting in Shanxi. The hat on his head has always been an independent brigade or a divisional backbone armed force, and Li Ziyuan, who has always held his breath, has brought this local armed force into an invincible and invincible ace division of the entire North China Field Army.

After following this military region into Sichuan, when he met with Wang Cheng, who was then deputy chief of staff of a certain corps of the Second Field Army, he also sighed a little about Li Ziyuan's plight when he met with Wang Cheng, who was first the Central Plains Field Army and later the Second Field Army, in Chongqing. Li Ziyuan's ability to lead troops to fight is absolutely nothing to say. But on some issues, I still can't grasp the heat by myself.

Of course, this is a later story, and now Li Ziyuan does not know that because of the large-scale use of poison gas in this operation, he violated the discipline of the troops, and was on a not very good honor list in the eyes of some leaders. became a famous thorn in the whole military region, and almost lost his dream of being a general.

For Li Ziyuan, who does not know that he will have a big 'twist' in the future because of this battle, although the spoils of this time have been taken away by the military region and the sub-division, the remaining part is enough to carry out his plan. Those infantry guns and heavy machine guns are not available to him for the time being, and they will be handed in.

However, when the seized weapons were handed in, the divisional commander also fully solicited Li Ziyuan's opinion. The 'Ting' Type 38 heavy machine gun carried by the puppet garrison was left for Li Ziyuan. Coupled with the original seizure of Na Ting in the Fallen Horse Stronghold in his hand, it was enough for Li Ziyuan.

As for other weapons and equipment, in addition to this 'Ting' machine gun, Li Ziyuan also asked for 15 carbines from the pseudo-plainclothes team, two Fengtian-made 'flower' mechanisms, as well as 10 shell guns and the ammunition used in this gun. The rest of the weapons and equipment, Li Ziyuan was very generous and handed over.

However, after listening to his report on the next step, the division commander left him with 30 Murata 22 rifles, as well as some 65 machine gun bullets and grenades. After the chief of staff of the military region arrived, he allocated to Li Ziyuan a part of the mines made by the troops themselves.

In this way, together with some of the weapons and ammunition 'medicine' seized from the stronghold, Li Ziyuan even had enough equipment in his hands to equip two companies. In other words, even if his Hubei Independent Battalion is now exhausted, as long as there are enough additional soldiers, he can equip another battalion at any time. He now has a reserve of ammunition 'medicine' on hand, which is enough for his Hubei Independent Battalion to fight a few tough battles.

After returning to the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei, Li Ziyuan did not delay. After discussing with Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan, he immediately sent the weapons of the basic militia. The militia ranks were readjusted in accordance with the standards for small villages to form militia squads and larger villages to form militia platoons.

In addition to the district squads, each district also selected a number of militiamen who had performed 'well' in training, and also formed a militia company that was scattered in various villages in peacetime and could be gathered in wartime. The civilian armed forces in various villages and towns in the mountainous areas of eastern Hubei were reorganized.

After the adjustment is completed, the local armed forces in the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei now appear to be very strong. In addition, Li Ziyuan often 'draws' veterans from the army in peacetime, and conducts military training for three to five days every month on these militiamen according to the difference between busy farming and slackness.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and it is not false to put this matter on Li Ziyuan at the moment. During the period when Li Ziyuan finished this battle and returned to Lijiawa with his troops for repair. Not long after the New Year, the head of the cadres of the Political Department of the sub-district sent him a group of people, but Li Ziyuan was very overjoyed.

This person is none other than He Sanliang, who is admired by Li Ziyuan, as well as more than 50 former friendly soldiers who came with him, and the former Hubei puppet garrison soldiers who have been cured after being captured in the battle on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Although the superiors did not clearly arrange a position for He Sanliang, Li Ziyuan directly arranged him to the position of the commander of the third company that had been vacant before. He Sanliang is an absolute talent who is the chief of staff, but he is only a battalion-level organization at the moment, and he lacks qualified military cadres, so it seems somewhat inappropriate for He Sanliang to serve as the chief of staff.

Therefore, Li Ziyuan arranged He Sanliang to the position of the commander of the third company of the shelf company, and at the same time served as an unnamed chief of staff, plus a series of positions such as combat staff officers and training staff officers. In other words, Li Ziyuan decided to set up his own staff organization, but so far, all the positions in this staff organization have been held by He Sanliang for the time being.

After listening to Li Ziyuan's idea, He Sanliang, who was taken aback, said with a wry smile: "Battalion commander, I don't know if it is right or wrong that when I decided to stay and my superiors asked me for my work arrangement, I insisted on coming to you." I don't disagree with you forming your own staff body, but you can't just count on me alone? ”

"I don't have three heads, six arms, and I don't have that much power. The most important thing is, you can't use me as an iron man. What you said, I can't promise you anything right now, the only thing I can guarantee is that I will do my best, and that's the only thing I can promise you. ”

He Sanliang smiled bitterly, but Li Ziyuan said with a smile: "Let's talk about conscience, you Lao He definitely has this ability." If we have a chief of staff in our independent battalion, as long as I am still here as the battalion commander, there will be no second choice other than your brother. Lao Zeng and Lao Qian fought bravely and bravely, but the two of them didn't have that ability. ”

"Old Ma, that's the material for political work by nature. If he is asked to analyze the enemy situation and adjust his tactics, it is better than Lao Zeng and Lao Qian. There is a shortage of people on my side, and I can only do everything myself before, and the most troublesome thing is the lack of military cadres. Now you're here and you've helped me solve my biggest problem. ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's parity, He Sanliang could only shake his head and sigh that he was unladylike. However, he still likes Li Ziyuan's style very much. Otherwise, when the military subdivision gave him a choice, He Sanliang would not have resolutely asked to come to this Hubei Independent Battalion.

Looking at the 'sophisticated' equipment, the Hubei Independent Battalion has been equipped to a higher level than when he followed him before. He Sanliang can only sigh at this guy, his head turns fast and there are many ways. Before coming to the Hubei Independent Battalion, he had also heard the people of the sub-district talk about the battle on Chinese New Year's Eve.

However, for He Sanliang, using the captured Japanese gas bombs to deal with the Japanese devils, He Sanliang did not think that Li Ziyuan had any mistakes. Those gas bombs are not used, are they still left to poison the Chinese? He Sanliang did not think that the Eighth Route Army had the ability to preserve or destroy these gas bombs.

Compared with He Sanliang, who was a little emotional, after He Sanliang arrived, Li Ziyuan's burden was much lighter. Two bold guys, plus a delicate and ghostly Ma Yongcheng. These three people come together to form a real iron triangle.

With He Sanliang's right-hand man, Li Ziyuan, who had a lot of lighter burdens on his body, was a little moved after receiving a piece of information from Liu Yanlai. After the defeat on Chinese New Year's Eve, Kanshiro Rakuai, who took all the responsibility for Tsuruta Numa, is really leaving this time.

The fiasco on Chinese New Year's Eve made Tsuruta Numanan almost lose his military position. If it weren't for Kamishiro Luohe, who took the initiative to take responsibility, these two people would really become brothers and sisters. Lieutenant General Iseki, the commander of the 36th Division, who couldn't bear Luohekanshiro, had officially informed Tsuruta Numan Nan that he would either let Luohekanshiro get out of the house as soon as possible, or the two of them would get out together.

In desperation, Tsuruta Numan used his authority to 'privately' give Luo Hekanshiro a sum of money as compensation. Arrange for him to prepare to take the train back to Taiyuan via the Baijin Railway, and then transfer from Taiyuan to Tianjin to take a boat back to the mainland. Although it is still unclear what the train this guy is taking, Liu Yanlai guarantees that the information this time is very accurate.

This information was obtained by the enemy engineering department of the division, and Liu Yanlai tried to find a way to 'feel' some of the situation through the Changzhi underground party. The Changzhi Underground Party was in Changzhi City, a Japanese restaurant that was very popular with the officers of the 36th Division, and a nail was scored. From the mouths of the Japanese officers who came to the restaurant to drink, it can be regarded as finding out a lot of information.

Although there is not much information that has a decisive 'sexual' influence, the fiasco of Kamishiro Rakuai and Tsuruta Numasu on the first day of the new year was too sensational for the 36th Division. The Japanese officer who went to the Japanese restaurant to drink, many people talked about it.

After Liu Yanlai learned of this information, he specially invited the comrades of the underground party of Changzhi to finally confirm the matter. Although Liu Yanlai had been hesitant to tell Li Ziyuan this information, after Chang Juan talked to him about it, Liu Yanlai finally decided to tell Li Ziyuan this information.

At that time, Chang Juan told Liu Yanlai that Li Ziyuan was thoughtful on the battlefield and had a strong ability to analyze problems. But the big grin outside the battlefield is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, he is extremely sensitive, and he does not have strong control over his emotions, and he is even a tendon in some things.

Li Ziyuan has many methods on the battlefield, and his tactical style is also strange and changeable. The ability to lead troops is quite outstanding, whether it is fighting a war or leading soldiers, he is a good hand. But for other aspects of the sensitive 'sex', even almost equal to an idiot, even many things to make decisions, contain certain impulses.

Last year's Wangjiagou bloody case was a thorn in his heart that he could never pull out. In that battle during the Spring Festival, he did not hesitate to use captured poison gas to fight against discipline. In addition to the 'forced' situation at that time, there was also a very important reason, that is, he was worried that once the Japanese puppet army broke through, the Wangjiagou incident would be staged again in Lijiawa.

Especially Luo Hekanshiro and Tsuruta Numanan, the two culprits of the bloodbath of Wangjiagou, were also on the battlefield at that time. If you can use poison gas to quickly solve this Japanese puppet army and catch those two guys. Not only can he avoid the recurrence of the Wangjiagou incident, but he can also avenge the villagers in Wangjiagou, so he did not hesitate to violate discipline.
