Chapter 355: Strange Little Girl
Although Wang Heng and Shi Zhonghua came up with the idea of pooling money, Sun Yumin still couldn't give them a definite answer, looking at their lonely backs leaving, Sun Yumin suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and it also made him germinate the idea of trying his best to help achieve their wishes.
After washing, before he had time to eat a bite of the breakfast prepared by Chen Lai, Deng Dongping came in with money, although they said that it was okay to wait first, but how could Sun Yumin make them wait for a long time, and after devouring two bites, he went to the living room.
"Junzuo, I heard that Deputy Commander Shi and Deputy Commander Wang of the 139th Division came to you?"
Before Sun Yumin sat down, Deng Dongping asked, and there was a suspicion of watching the excitement on his expression.
"yes, what's the matter, do you know what they're here for? Is there a way to help me solve this big problem? ”
"What can I do, you're worried." Deng Dongping smiled: "Junzao, what are they looking for you?" ”
"Nothing? A regiment of American-style equipment is just like the Seventh Regiment. Sun Yumin said it lightly, but in fact he had a headache.
"Ah, how is this possible, last time we bought these equipment after we ran out of our family, where can we get the money to buy another regiment now!" Deng Dongping exclaimed.
"I still have some American-style military uniforms, but they are not enough for a regiment, I really don't have M1 rifles, all for the Seventh Regiment, if you really want to give the 139th Division a whole regiment of American-style equipment, except for sending someone to contact Johnson to see if you can buy some more, there is no other way." As the "big housekeeper", Qian Jin has the most right to speak, so Deng Dongping has been watching him when he speaks, and he also talked about the current situation of military logistics as soon as Deng Dongping finished speaking.
"Buy again?" Deng Dongping asked: "Where do we get the money to buy?" ”
"If you don't buy tanks and artillery, if you buy M1 rifles alone, we can still make up this money by squeezing it." Qian Jin replied: "It's just that if you buy this batch of weapons, the food standards of each division will be lowered, and Xiangyin will be delayed for two months." ”
"It's not going to work." Sun Yumin directly refused, and said: "I'd rather not have the equipment of this regiment, and I wouldn't beat the soldier's idea of ringing silver, let alone pounding food from the soldier's mouth." And the two of you also remember to me that this is the thunder pool of our 12th Army, the forbidden area of our 12th Army, and I will never tolerate anyone crossing this line, including the two of you. ”
This is Sun Yumin's principle, and his concern for grassroots soldiers can be said to be better than that of most national army generals. Throughout the ages, he has seen too many examples of officers being greedy for money and degrading soldiers with money, resulting in defeat in war or even mutiny. He himself suffered greatly from the period from a soldier to a junior officer, how could he still impose these things on his own soldiers.
Qian Jin was blushing by Sun Yumin's reprimand, he actually didn't mean it, he just didn't want to see Sun Yumin embarrassed, so he came up with this idea, but he didn't expect it to annoy him, so he said plainly.
"Is there something wrong with you two coming so early?" Sun Yumin realized that his words were a little heavy just now, and he hurriedly cleaned up his mood and tone.
"Military seat, we are here to report to you today that the material supply and personnel replenishment of the Ninth War Zone have arrived, how do we distribute it." Deng Dongping replied.
"Didn't I confess to you? The 139th Division was replenished first, and the 417th, 422nd, and 423rd regiments of the Shanggao Battle were relatively the most damaged and needed to be replenished the most. Sun Yumin felt a little strange, obviously he had already arranged something, why did they come over again to ask, and couldn't help but look at Qian Jin, who was still bowing his head.
"Junza, of course I remember your explanation, but the Ninth War Zone pulled out more materials and personnel than we imagined, so I came to ask for instructions." Qian Jin raised his head when Sun Yumin looked at him, which was a tacit understanding formed over the years.
"How many?" In the early morning, he was pestered by Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng for a while, and he was "angry" by Qian Jin's words, and it was not until this news that Sun Yumin was happy.
"The equipment of the three integrated regiments." Qian Jin replied: "Not only should the weapons and equipment be complete, but even the military shoes and socks should be complete. ”
"This is just weapons and equipment, all the battle losses of our side in the Battle of Shanggao are less than 3,000, and the number of soldiers that can be replenished is more than 10,000 people, including a Hunan legion that has been formed." Deng Dongping added.
For Sun Yumin, the Hunan Army is a good memory, not only because he is a native of Hunan, but because the Hunan Army officers when he was in Nanjing left a deep imprint on him, and it can be said that Zhou Hainan and Zhou Hong are his eternal pain. So when he heard that the Hunan Legion was coming, his eyebrows twitched, and he asked eagerly: "The Hunan Legion that has been formed?" Whose troops? How could it be possible to agree to add to us? ”
"It's not clear, I heard that it was ordered by Chief Chen himself."
As soon as Deng Dongping's words came out, Sun Yumin generally understood that this Chen Cheng counted him as a person from the civil engineering department, so there were so many material supplies and personnel supplements, and this Hunan army didn't know where he got it from, according to Chen Cheng's character, it was very likely that he came from Xue Yue, who was the chairman of Hunan Province and the commander of the Ninth Theater.
Anyway, Sun Yumin didn't care where the soldiers came from, he just needed to know that there were so many sources of soldiers for him. Thinking that at the beginning of the poplar shop, it was really difficult to recruit some soldiers, but now that the big tree is next to it, not only is this thing that makes him anxious not a problem at all, but even the equipment and weapons have been solved, not to mention the money and grass grain.
"Hearing you say this, didn't Chief Chen send me another division?" Sun Yumin smiled, his smile made people feel a little "obscene".
"It may be difficult to give one more division to the establishment, and the stakes involved in this are too great, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for Chief Chen to do it." Deng Dongping said.
"I don't want these vain brains, what I get in my hands is the most substantial." Sun Yumin's words are very in line with his character, just like he ignores his military exploits, what kind of establishment and other things are dispensable, as long as he is given troops and supplies, even if the Twelfth Army is nominally called the Twelfth Regiment and the Twelfth Brigade.
"I knew the military seat would say that, but you still don't believe it." Qian Jin said to Deng Dongping with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay, count me out." Deng Dongping was a little helpless, and his face was full of unwillingness, as if there was some "ulterior" bet between the two.
"Dongping, do you think this Hunan army should be broken up? And how should these more than 10,000 people be added to the divisions? ”
In fact, Sun Yumin knew that Deng Dongping and Qian came in to find him, and they definitely already had a distribution plan, but they just left the final decision to themselves.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you would first replenish the 139th Division, I discussed it with the chief of staff, and then consulted the deputy commander Zhan's opinion, and drew up a preliminary distribution plan, you can take a look at it first." I don't know if he was reprimanded by Sun Yumin before, Qian Jin's speech was very polite at this time.
Sun Yumin didn't pick up the documents he handed over, and said directly: "Just say it, I won't read it." ”
"Junza, our idea is to expand the 139th Division appropriately, and they have indeed fought tenaciously in this battle, which is worthy of reward." Deng Dongping took Sun Yumin's words and introduced them one by one: "The new recruits who have been replenished will first add 3,000 to the 139th Division as a supplement for their battle losses, and then transfer the backbone from the three regiments of the 139th Division, and then build a new regiment to form the 139th Division into a unit of two brigades and four regiments." ”
"Hmm." Sun Yumin listened very carefully and nodded from time to time.
"We also plan to draw some veterans from each division and regiment to supplement Dong Wenbin's side, after all, fifteen tanks are only an armored battalion, a bit 'not like words', he still has to take care of the artillery regiment, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, and those Americans are clamoring and shouting incredible, saying how can we match the troops with such a few people."
Deng Dongping's words went up to Sun Yumin's heart, and he also felt that the tanks and artillery were short of manpower for a long time, and Dong Wenbin complained to him more than once, but he held the idea that there were not many soldiers, and politely rejected Dong Wenbin's request for dignitaries. And the same is true for artillery, which must also form a convoy that can protect itself.
"Military seat, my logistics department must also set up a baggage force, and the scale must be at least one regiment, otherwise it is really impossible to ensure the logistics support and supply of the entire army." Qian Jin interjected, he was also short of people.
Deng Dongping and Qian Jin's words and proposals were exactly what Sun Yumin was thinking, in fact, he also wanted to form an engineering unit above the battalion level, but he didn't have this kind of talent in his hands, so he had to bury this idea in his heart.
"Just do what you want, I'm in favor of it." The subordinates let themselves be so worry-free, how could Sun Yumin not be happy to be a shopkeeper.
Although the 139th Division was not given a regiment of American-style equipment, it supplemented them with nearly 6,000 men, which could somewhat make up for the guilt in their hearts. As for Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng, even if the two of them have opinions, he can only do this.
One morning, he met two people at the residence, and he hadn't taken a step out of the door, which made Sun Yumin a little unaccustomed, but when he walked out, he saw the little girl running in from the outside in a hurry, her eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was very excited, and she didn't know who provoked her, and when she rushed in, she didn't even look at the road, and crashed into Sun Yumin's arms.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Although Sun Yumin called her to inquire about her as soon as she ran inside, he did not get her attention.
Sun Yumin shook his head helplessly, since this little girl went to take the ninth day of the middle school wholeheartedly, she rarely looked like this, in Sun Yumin's mind, this innocent and gorgeous little girl was born to be a model of a good wife and mother, if it wasn't for this damn war, if it wasn't for the tragic change that day, she would definitely not have lived a life of licking blood with her knife.
For this girl who came from the air, Sun Yumin is both a pity and a headache, and when she was in the 20th Division, she was an aunt who scared the officers and soldiers, but fortunately, the cuteness of Xiao Chujiu subdued this little ancestor, since the little guy came, she gradually became reluctant to participate in these previous favorite fights and killings, and even the adjutant and secretary she usually used to act as a prestige were given to the latecomer Chen Lai.
At the beginning, Sun Yumin was still a little puzzled, and wanted to ask her several times, but in the end he didn't find a chance because of this and that. Later, when he saw her and Xiao Chujiu being happy, he dispelled the idea of asking, thinking that this kind of life was the most suitable for the little girl.
How could she be so out of shape today? With doubts in his heart, Sun Yumin walked out of the courtyard gate.
The two sentries at the gate of the courtyard stood straight and saluted, and Sun Yumin would say hello to them, but today he flickered this step, because he saw a person who should not be here, Liu Xiaoshan, who is now the deputy head of the regiment.
Since this guy went to the army, Sun Yumin hasn't seen him for a long time.
This guy has followed him since Liujia Village on the edge of the Yangtze River, and he met him with the little girl. Among the original group of people, he was the only one who led the army the latest, and he also had the lowest position, but that was only because he was too young and had no experience in the army.
What is he doing here? Sun Yumin was puzzled. Come to yourself? Definitely not, this guy is not a master who likes to find a backer, although he has followed himself for a long time, but he will never talk about these experiences, let alone show them off. Since I'm not here to find myself, then all I have to do here is to find a girl.
Thinking of this, Sun Yumin suddenly had a thought: Could it be that the girl's gaffe today is because Liu Xiaoshan is here? Or maybe there is a relationship between boys and girls?
He slapped his forehead suddenly, and smiled bitterly in his heart: his brother is too irresponsible, Xiao Yuying has already reached the age of talking about marriage, but he has never considered this matter for her, so he has to take care of her.
Liu Xiaoshan was wandering not far from the door, obviously the little girl was with him just now, the two of them might have had some kind of dispute, and then the little girl ran back, there were guards at the door, and he didn't dare to rush in, so he would wander around in the distance.
When Sun Yumin walked out of the courtyard gate, he might have thought that it was the little girl who went and returned, and was obviously happy, but when he saw that the person who came was Sun Yumin, he immediately lowered his head, turned around and wanted to leave, but after walking two steps, he turned back, trotted to Sun Yumin's side, gave a military salute, and shouted: "The military seat is good." ”
Sun Yumin nodded, just wanted to speak, but the corner of his eyes saw that in the distance, there was a person in military uniform hurriedly hiding in the back of the house, he frowned, he wanted to ask the little boy to take someone to take a look, but after a turn of thought, he decided to hide this matter in his heart.
There must be something wrong with that person, this is Sun Yumin's intuition, since there is a problem, then we must check him well, and the most suitable person to do this is naturally Zhao Lei.
