Looking at the subordinates with different expressions in front of him, Dong Ping continued: "Don't look at the devils, the key attack has passed now, but their elimination of our remaining troops cannot be finished in a short time. In the activities and survivability behind the devils, we are far from the Eighth Road. ”

"Don't say that there are devils everywhere along the way, but there are no devils, but what about supplies along the way? If you rob the common people, don't forget our army's family law. Even if no one is going to enforce the family law now, aren't you forcing the people to report to the devil? We'll talk about it later, but our question now is how to rush out first. ”

After Dong Ping finished speaking, the more than 100 people he brought with him bowed their heads and were silent. However, the lieutenant was a little unconvinced: "Sir, but you don't see their attitude towards us. What's the big deal with a dirt road, this time they hit Xiyaogou, and the Japanese will definitely not spare him. ”

"The Japanese have planes on this and superior forces below, even if this eight-way force can stand out, if it is not good, it will have to be peeled off. I don't think it's going to work, let's learn from Chief Sun to go to Nanjing. Some time ago, there was no one from Kaifeng who came to you with a large sum of money. ”

"He said that as long as you bring a battalion over, I will immediately expand you and make you the commander of the regiment, and I want people, guns, and territory to give us a county. It's being chased by the Japanese, so let's go over there. The miscellaneous army over there values us a lot more than the Central Army. ”

"Now the commander and the main force, I don't know where to run now. We don't even know if it exists or not. There are also headquarters and Mr. Pang, I don't know where they are now. It's definitely better to go than to follow the eight roads. No matter how strong we are, can we be stronger than Chief Sun? ”

As soon as the lieutenant's words fell, Dong Ping looked at him with a sharp gaze: "Chen Feng, what do you kid want to do?" I know you've always had great ambitions, and you're always trying to climb up. But let me tell you, although I, Dong Ping, have been a soldier for so many years, and now I am a battalion deputy. But Lao Tzu is a Chinese soldier, and even if he starves to death, he will not be a dog leg for the devil. ”

"The gang of people in Nanjing are acting for the tiger, and they will not tolerate betraying their ancestors. The bullshit peace movement is a fucking defection to the enemy and betraying the country, a group of people who forget their righteousness for the sake of profit and don't even want their ancestors. Don't say give me a regiment commander, even give me a division and a commander, and Lao Tzu won't do it. ”

"You kid doesn't want to go with Balu, if you want to go by yourself, I won't stop you. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I am definitely not reluctant. But if you dare to be a traitor, Lao Tzu will kill you now. As for you to shut up for now, if you want to die, it's your personal business, but don't drag your brothers to bury you. ”

After teaching the lieutenant Chen Feng a lesson, Dong Ping looked at Li Ziyuan and the others who were discussing things over there. Turning his head again, Chongzi's own subordinates said, "During this time with the Eighth Road, you all give me honesty." When you get to the battlefield, don't pretend to be a grandson and embarrass our 40th Army. ”

Chen Feng, who was reprimanded by Dong Ping, but was somewhat unconvinced, said a little yin and yang after hearing Dong Ping's words: "These eight ways are so repulsive to us before, don't play with a knife to kill people on the battlefield, let us block the muzzle of the gun for them and be a substitute for the dead." When the time comes, our brothers will be exhausted, and they will be relieved. ”

This Chen Feng's words made Dong Ping's more than 100 brothers look at Dong Ping. These people are all veterans, and they are naturally very familiar with the means of killing foreign enemies in some aspects, and killing miscellaneous cards in addition to internal troubles. Since Dong Ping decided to follow this Eight Roads, these veterans are also a little worried that Eight Roads will also play this hand.

Especially before, the two sides had an unpleasant experience. The leader of this eight-way branch doesn't seem to welcome his own people. Receiving everyone's eyes, Dong Ping also knew what these people were worried about. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't worry, where is the old man." ”

"Although Lao He is now, he and we are already our own masters. But Lao He is a person, I still believe in it. With him, we shouldn't have any big deals. Also, if Balu really wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, he wouldn't have given us so many weapons and ammunition. Besides, the chief of the Eighth Road is not a fool. The enemy is now, and he knows what to do. ”

After saying this, Dong Ping turned his head and looked at Li Ziyuan and the others over there. A crumpled cigarette case was pulled out of the pocket of his military uniform, and the last cigarette was pulled out to light it. remembered Li Ziyuan's previous order that he was not allowed to smoke and not to move around at will. So he put away the match, put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it, not knowing what he was heading for.

And over there, Li Ziyuan, who had just decided to transfer the route, naturally didn't know about the dispute here. But if he knew, he wouldn't do anything else. But that Chen Feng, he will definitely take precautions. It's just that Li Ziyuan didn't mix sand here, and he didn't have eyes on his back.

I didn't know Dong Ping's argument here, nor did I see the weirdness in the eyes of Chen Feng, who proposed to act alone or even surrender to the enemy. At the moment, Li Ziyuan, who was focusing all his attention on the discussion in front of him, really didn't have the energy to take care of this.

But fortunately, at this time, the general plan of action has been basically decided, and Li Ziyuan can be more relaxed. Regarding Li Ziyuan's deployment, Zhang Zijian and He Sanliang glanced at each other and nodded. However, He Sanliang proposed to make contact with the military sub-district through the radio, and let the military sub-district send troops to meet at the junction of Ludong, Hubei, and Changzhi.

At the very least, the wounded and supplies should be transferred away so that the troops could be relieved of their burden. Although Ma Yongcheng has already cleared all the surplus weapons. Only one mountain cannon remained, as well as two mortars and two 20-millimeter cannons. Only sixteen heavy machine guns remained, and they were organized into three heavy machine gun companies.

In addition to the two battalions each under the jurisdiction of a four-gun company and a temporary heavy machine gun company, Li Ziyuan directly mastered a six-gun heavy machine gun company. It's just that at Wang Jun's suggestion, the six heavy machine gun companies in Li Ziyuan's hands all use Soviet-made double-wheeled heavy machine guns, and in addition to heavy machine guns, six Soviet-made turntable machine guns are also included.

Wang Jun told Li Ziyuan that although these Soviet-made light and heavy machine guns were a bit bulky, if they were to fight a defensive war, the firepower would be much better than that of state-made weapons. Especially those Soviet-made light machine guns, with a capacity of forty-seven rounds, one machine gun on top of two Czech machine guns. At the same time, Wang Jun also proposed to use Soviet-made light machine guns to replace all the crooked machine guns in the troops.

Although the performance of the Soviet-made heavy machine gun is similar to that of the Chinese-made 24 machine gun, this machine gun has two wheels on the gun mount and is very flexible in the plain terrain. The most important thing is this machine gun, which has a large water refill on the barrel. When adding water, it is much more important than the Type 24 machine gun. In addition to the special caliber of the bullet, it is even simpler to a certain extent than the Type 24 machine gun that was tied to the same door.

Moreover, after inspecting in detail several French-made Hatch Chase heavy machine guns, as well as a Type 92 heavy machine gun that the troops are now equipped with, Wang Jun still suggested that these French-made and Japanese-made heavy machine guns should be retained. Because Wang Jun thought that if the army marched and fought in the mountainous area of Jinnan, it would not be easy to find cooling water. Leaving these air-cooled heavy machine guns behind can maintain the basic firepower of the troops in the event of a lack of water.

At Wang Jun's suggestion, Li Ziyuan finally nodded. Following his suggestion, the original French-made air-cooled heavy machine guns were transferred to the 1st Battalion with the Type 92 heavy machine guns, and the four crooked light machine guns were reinforced into a 1st battalion heavy machine gun company. The better ones were selected from the Type 24 machine guns, and four Soviet-made turntable machine guns were also strengthened and incorporated into the 2nd Battalion Heavy Machine Gun Company.

At the same time, all the crooked machine guns in the unit were replaced, and all the rest were fortified except for those that were adjusted to a battalion of heavy machine gun companies. However, at Zhang Zijian's request, the first battalion not only kept the original Type 38 rifles, but also incorporated the recruits into the first battalion, and the weapons in their hands were also replaced with captured Type 38 rifles as much as possible.

After all, the power of the Chinese and Czech styles is great, but the bayonet is too much of a loss compared to the 38 rifle. The length of Hanyang and the first year style is enough, but Li Ziyuan is still a little unsightly. Who has a formal use of Hanyang, isn't this a pretense not to leave, and to go backwards?

However, Li Ziyuan still brought two crooked machine guns and carried 20,000 rounds of 65 machine gun ammunition. It's not just a matter of performance, it's about the warrior getting familiar with his weapon. This Soviet-made turntable machine gun is the first time the fighters have come into contact with it, and they still need to be familiar with it for a certain amount of time.

Whether the performance of this machine gun can be fully brought into play, Li Ziyuan was a little worried, but he still carried two crooked machine guns as a backup. Although after adjusting the weapons, Wang Jun took a few captured personnel who knew about Soviet-made machine guns and taught them by hand, but Li Ziyuan was still a little uneasy.

Originally, Li Ziyuan wanted to take away all the seven or nine bullets, but almost all of them objected. 500,000 rounds of ammunition, at least 200,000 more than the 100 rounds per person distributed by the troops, as well as ammunition for light and heavy machine guns. All of them were carried with them, and the troops were somewhat overwhelmed by the lack of transportation capacity.

What's more, there are so many heavy weapons to carry, and everyone still thinks that in addition to bringing some spare ammunition for light and heavy machine guns, it is more appropriate to bury the rest. Under everyone's strong demand, Li Ziyuan could only be as good as he could, and in addition to the original ammunition, he carried 20,000 rounds of 79 machine gun bullets and Soviet-made ammunition for the heavy machine gun as a backup, and buried the rest.

But*, he decided to take it all with him. The mortars were equipped with 100 shells, the mountain artillery with 40 shells, and the two Breda 20-mm guns with shells. Originally, what Li Ziyuan wanted to bring was the 13-mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

It's just that Zhou Tong and Wang Jun both proposed that the weight of the 20-mm small cannon is about the same as that of the 13-mm anti-aircraft machine gun, but the power is far superior to that of the anti-aircraft machine gun. Moreover, the 20-mm small cannon can not only be anti-aircraft, but also far more powerful than the 13-mm machine gun when attacking the ground. Since neither of them has much ammunition, it is better to carry these two small cannons.

When Li Ziyuan adjusted his weapons, he tried his best not to affect the mobility of the troops. Although Zhou Tong was a little fond of the 105-millimeter heavy mountain gun. But I also knew that the weight of this thing was 800 kilograms, and it was still a little hungry and too heavy for the troops, so I didn't force it to carry it.
