Speaking of this, the chief of staff looked at Li Ziyuan with a serious face, and said in an extremely firm, even extremely rare tone that could not be changed: "Whether you like it or not, this unit is the only force that the division headquarters can draw now." They say no matter what, but after all, it's still a fully formed battalion, and as for what happens to the battlefield, that's your business. ”

"Also, Li Ziyuan, don't pick and choose for me. You yourself said that at the moment, the whole division is up and down, and now the battalion is fully formed? One counts as one army, how many are fully formed? Besides, you didn't start it from the local armed forces either? I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of the Hubei Guerrilla Force at the beginning is not as good as this independent battalion. ”

"On the battlefield, there are only incompetent generals, no useless soldiers. If everything is prepared for you in advance, what else do you want Li Ziyuan to do? In a word, you have to use this force, and you have to use it if you don't use it. Not only do you have to give me 100% of the tasks, but you also have to give me * out of the troops. ”

"You are in charge of cleaning up this time, and there may still be Japanese puppet spy forces, and you are not responsible for combat missions. The headquarters special task force is responsible for the perimeter defense of the headquarters. The division commander and the political commissar made up their minds after careful consideration and proceeding from the nature of your task. You kid don't pick and choose, if there are other troops, the division headquarters will definitely consider it. ”

Seeing that the chief of staff made it clear that bargaining was not allowed, Li Ziyuan touched his nose and did not dare to say anything more. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If there are really no other troops, then it's fine, but Chief of Staff, you have to give me twenty Hanyang rifles and a thousand rounds of ammunition." There is no original factory for the bullets, so we can refurbish them ourselves. ”

"If you don't give me this, then you can take my head now. When the provincial security headquarters, if something goes wrong, the commissar still has to ask for my head. Rather than have an accident at that point, you might as well shoot me right now. As you just said, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. I really don't have confidence in the equipment and combat effectiveness of their battalion. ”

"I've fought against the devil's two advance teams, and they're more equipped than one of our companies. Coupled with the firepower, it can basically reach the standard of one battalion of our main force. When the devils formed these advance teams, they selected all veterans, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong. ”

"And the most important thing is not how good they can play, every team they advance is equipped with a radio. They can mobilize the surrounding Japanese forces at any time and quickly reinforce them. There is too much difference between us and the devil in this regard, but we don't have the capital of the devil. I'm in charge of cleaning up the devil's advance team, and it's hard to make sure that if I don't get it right, it will become a task to cover the headquarters. ”

"The truth of the impermanence of soldiers, Chief of Staff, you know better than me. When it comes to the battlefield, no one dares to guarantee that it will come 100% according to the plan. As far as the equipment of this battalion is concerned, it will definitely not be able to resist if it needs to be carried hard. I gave them a heavy machine gun, but now I don't see where the heavy machine gun has gone. ”

"The firepower is so poor, what if you run into hard stubble? Besides, I don't want much, just twenty rifles and a thousand rounds. Although it is more difficult in the division now, this amount can still be obtained. As for the remaining shortcomings, I promise not to send another bullet from the division, and I will find a way to solve it myself. ”

Li Ziyuan's dead face made the chief of staff shake his head with a headache: "Yes, you kid has a lot to do." I'll find a way to solve these requirements for you before it gets dark today. But don't bargain with me, boy. Also, I know that you have two captured Japanese radio stations in your hands, and after this anti-sweep is over, you kid will hand them over to me. ”

The request of the chief of staff made Li Ziyuan depressed in his heart. He didn't know that it was that bastard who was so fast. Before he could think about how to use these two radio stations, he was stabbed to the side of the division headquarters. Among these people around him, no one is so unreliable?

Li Ziyuan is thinking nonsense here, how can the chief of staff over there not know what this guy is thinking? The chief of staff said with some hatred: "I said, why did you kid detain and search like this, and you are still so valued by the division commander and political commissar?" In this anti-sweeping operation, the headquarters organs were surrounded by the Japanese army several times, and the communication tools were greatly damaged. ”

"If you want to replenish it in a short period of time, you can only transfer it from our division headquarters, which has been following the activities of the headquarters. But there is a shortage of communication tools anywhere, and the division headquarters is not rich here. Your two radio stations are of little use in your hands, so they will be seconded to the division headquarters for use first. When the division is solved, I will return it to you. Besides, if the division adjusts your radio station, can it still treat you badly? ”

Hearing some dissatisfaction in the chief of staff's tone, Li Ziyuan hurriedly said: "Chief, look at what you said, how can I be unhappy?" I'm still worried about where these two radio stations will be digested, since the division headquarters is in need, when I have the opportunity, I will send someone back to Hubei and let them hand it in. ”

"Chief of Staff, in fact, I really didn't think about keeping these two radio stations and not turning them in. My temple is too small, and it's better not to have high-end things like the radio. Without the radio, this brain is my own, and I don't have to go around my superiors all day. With the radio, is this brain still your own? ”

Li Ziyuan replied, but the chief of staff smiled, and after kicking him: "Get out of your balls." Wandering around the higher-level command organs, things that others can't think of, you kid is reluctant. Inside that dog's mouth, you kid really dare to say anything. If you want to grind again, don't beg me next time. ”

Li Ziyuan, who was kicked, was not angry at all, he knew that this was the chief of staff's love for him. Li Ziyuan, who was scolded, was about to leave. Behind it, the voice of the chief of staff came: "You kid's mouth, you want to control it, don't say anything." There are some things that you just need to understand in your heart. ”

Hearing the advice of the honest chief of staff, Li Ziyuan nodded solemnly. Without saying anything more, he turned around and gave the chief of staff a standard military salute, then turned around and went to look for his troops. Although the intensity of the Japanese army's sweep has decreased somewhat, it is still going on for now.

Although the political commissar and chief of staff did not explicitly say that they might have asked the division to pull up a unit that was not fully equipped or had not even completed training, it showed that the situation facing the headquarters should still be very unoptimistic. The current situation in the division is also not very optimistic.

Otherwise, the division commander and political commissar would not have pulled up a unit that was not half a force at this time. Looking at the reckless mountains and mountains of the surrounding Taihang Mountain, Li Ziyuan also had some doubts in his heart, were the two advance teams he fought really the only two in the Japanese army?

Just after Li Ziyuan left, he looked at Li Ziyuan's back in a hurry. The chief of staff shook his head, took out a report, read it carefully, hesitated for a moment and put it back into the pocket of his military uniform. There were some things that the political commissar confessed, and he did not talk to Li Ziyuan. Whether this is a blessing or a curse depends on his own ability.

And Li Ziyuan, who left in a hurry, naturally didn't know what was written on the report that the chief of staff took out. He found the battalion commander who was cunning and cunning in his heart and asked him to immediately send someone to the chief of staff to get guns and bullets. We should also pay close attention to supervising and urging the troops to replenish supplies as soon as possible.

In fact, there was no urging from Li Ziyuan, and it was not half an hour after Li Ziyuan rushed back to the battalion that he commanded. The chief of staff had already sent someone to Li Ziyuan, sending him the 20 rifles and 1,000 rounds of ammunition he had promised. Li Ziyuan and a few cadres were also given an additional 200 shell bullets and 100 grenades.

Seeing that all the original 79 and 65 bullets sent by the chief of staff were all the original, Li Ziyuan felt a little emotional. In the end, it is the old chief, and this care and love will never be forgotten. At present, the division headquarters is also short of ammunition, and the chief of staff does not know where to transfer this batch of ammunition.

After the chief of staff sent all the weapons and ammunition that Li Ziyuan wanted, Li Ziyuan only sent the twenty Hanyang-made rifles. The fighters who received the guns were each given ten rounds of ammunition. The rest of the bullets were given to the veterans, except for the ten rounds that were given to the soldiers who had guns but did not have a few bullets.

After setting off from the division headquarters, Li Ziyuan and his troops did not rush to the headquarters, but rushed to the bottom of the cross ridge first. All the weapons and ammunition that he had buried there were were taken out and distributed to the troops. These weapons, together with those sent by the Chief of Staff and those seized from the Lieutenant of the Pig Unit, finally fully equipped the battalion.

However, after taking out this batch of weapons and ammunition, Li Ziyuan's heart was a little uncomfortable. This batch of weapons was intended to be used by him to reorganize the Hubei Independent Battalion, and this time they were all taken out at once, which made him a little painful. But he couldn't help it, even if this battalion added the weapons captured from the Japanese advance team, and the twenty rifles sent by the chief of staff.

A third of them were also armed with broadswords, spears, and even stabbing fists. I'm going to defend the headquarters organs, not to the boot camp, and I don't know when I'll be able to encounter a tough battle. If it's not fully equipped, what should I do when I really need it?

Don't look at them as a formed battalion at the moment, but Li Ziyuan feels that his original troops, one company is enough to defeat them. This time I went to protect the headquarters organs, not to go on a spring outing, and if I didn't equip them completely, how could this task be accomplished?

took out so many weapons at once, although Li Ziyuan also knew that it was necessary, but the question was what to do with the reorganization of his Hubei Independent Battalion next? Weapons are a little bit more difficult to solve, but the most difficult thing to solve as a local armed force is the ammunition problem. Although these ammunition are not too much, they are all the capital to start again in the future, and it would be strange if they were all taken out this time without pain.

It's like I'm busy talking about relatives, and I'm busy showing up the bride price and banquet. When everything is ready to get married, okay, everything from the bride to the things you prepared has become someone else's. Especially when he was played by that guy, it made Li Ziyuan even more unfair.

Although Li Ziyuan is not a child, anyone will be uncomfortable if this matter changes. Of course, he was also grateful to his old superior. In order to supplement the lack of ammunition of their troops, and the weak firepower could not compete with the large number of Japanese troops. In order to let the main force led by him weaken the strength of the Japanese army as much as possible.

After telling him about the weapons and ammunition burial site, he only took the heavy machine guns and two light machine guns, as well as some ammunition and dozens of rifles, and left most of the rifles and some ammunition for himself. Otherwise, Li Ziyuan would feel even more pain.
