On the morning of May 14, the brothers of the 16th Regiment, awakened by the smell of broth, were very conscious, and gathered in the street outside without waiting for the wake-up call to sound.

The brothers of the 16th Regiment all know that the regiment commander is not easy to fool, he is not well trained, don't think about breakfast, this morning there is meat soup, and the brothers of the 16th Regiment, who have eaten multigrain cakes for several days, are very active in starting morning training under the leadership of the officer.......

After sleeping for two hours, He Jianye, who did not have the habit of sleeping in the morning, still felt very sleepy, but insisted on getting up.

After a simple wash, seeing the strength of the brothers of the 16th Regiment training seriously under the leadership of the battalion company commander, He Jianye nodded with satisfaction, looked at his watch, and found that it was about to be time to eat.

He Jianye walked to the cooking class and saw that breakfast had been prepared, and the fragrant broth was bubbling with mouth-watering aroma in the pot......

He Jianye shrugged his nose and said to the cooking squad leader,

"Lao Wang, wait a minute, send two brothers to the hospital of the division, and send a broth to Dr. Tian, Dr. Xiao Zhu and a few nurses, they have put a lot of effort into our brothers' injuries, and we can't heal the scars and forget the pain. In the past few days, some meat has been delivered, and it doesn't matter if our brothers eat less. ”

"Huh! Okay, Captain. I'll arrange it right away! "The elder of the cooking squad, Wang, quickly agreed......

After breakfast, He Jianye, who suddenly took off from the busy war, still felt unaccustomed.

"Looks like I'm tired or what's wrong? Why are you not happy to be idle? He Jianye muttered,

"Someone coming" He Jianye shouted outside the door,

The "regimental commander" guard came in and saluted,

"Well, inform Deputy Head Xia to come." He Jianye said,

"Yes" the guard ran away,

"Regiment Leader" Deputy Commander Xia, who was tired and dusty, came in and said hello to He Jianye,

"Lao Xia, what's the matter, seeing that we have been idle for the past two days, what are you just busy with?" He Jianye was surprised,

"Sort out the logistics and check the shortage of weapons and ammunition! Are you commanded? Deputy Head Xia said,

"You've really gone to order them one by one! Even if the point is clear, can the division make up for it? He Jianye asked,

"It's enough, now the losses of the Central Army on the Xuzhou battlefield are a bit big, and they are all shouting for supplements." Deputy Head Xia said,

"That's bad, don't order it. According to what I said, there were 6 Min-24 heavy machine guns, 50 Czech-style light machine guns, and 1,000 medium-sized guns, and the bullets were filled in according to the amount of ammunition we carried on the north bank of Yishui last time; 40 artillery guns with 100 rounds each. That's not it. He Jianye said,

"Ahh So much? Deputy Head Xia asked,

"Anyway, we can't make up for it according to our requirements, let's say a large amount, and the division headquarters will cut a part and supplement it. Go to the logistics warehouse and get all the dozen jars of wine I got back last night, and let's go to the division headquarters. He Jianye commanded,

"Yes, Captain." Deputy Head Xia walked away......

On the way to the headquarters of the Third Division, He Jianye took the deputy commander and Zeng Da, as well as a few guards pushing carts behind, and the boards were filled with wine jars, and walked towards the division headquarters in the surprised eyes of the patrol troops......

As soon as he entered the gate of the division headquarters, He Jianye commanded,

"Zeng Da, send all the gifts to the logistics."

"Yo, He Jianye, what kind of fortune did you make today, the loss is so big, why did you give a gift to the division headquarters?" Ruan Yongqi happened to be passing by, looked at it and asked,

"Hey! Chief of Staff, isn't this a big loss on the regimental road! I got more than a dozen jars of wine and sent it to the division, so I can add it! He Jianye frowned and said,

"Hehe, let's go, go in and say, it just so happens that the division commander is here." Ruan Yongqi motioned to He Jianye to go with him,

He Jianye and Deputy Head Xia Nunu mouthed and motioned to follow.

After the "division commander" entered the door, He Jianye saluted Li Yutang,

"Well, here, sit!" Li Yutang pointed to the stool next to him,

"Division commander, this is a list of equipment that needs to be reorganized in the sixteenth regiment, please ask the division commander for approval!" He Jianye handed over the list of Deputy Head Xia,

"Well, show the chief of staff first." Li Yutang said,

"Yes, Chief of Staff." He Jianye handed it to Ruan Yongqi,

"Okay, you He Jianye! You can't make up the empty logistics warehouse of the division headquarters! Ruan Yongqi looked at the terrifying numbers on the list and said in surprise,

"Chief of Staff, you know, we died with the Imada detachment on the north bank of Yishui a few days ago, not only the brothers suffered heavy losses, but this equipment was even more seriously damaged! Especially heavy weapons, there is basically nothing left. He Jianye said with a sad face,

"Show me," Li Yutang said,

Li Yutang took the list in Ruan Yongqi's hand, frowned and read it, sighed, and said,

"He Jianye, I know that your regiment suffered a lot of losses some time ago; But to be honest, don't say I don't have it, even the war zone is probably not so many, and now there are so many troops participating in the war, and some heavy weapons in the war zone have basically been issued. Nothing in stock. ”

"Chief of Staff, look at how much the division headquarters warehouse can replenish for them, try your best to restore combat effectiveness! Next, we can't watch the brothers of the 16th Regiment fight with the Japanese devils empty-handed! Li Yutang turned to Ruan Yongqi and said,

"Division commander, there are only two heavy machine guns, ten Czech light machine guns; There is not a single mortar; As for the official rifles, don't think about it, even if it is made in Hanyang, there are only 200 of them. Bullets and shells and grenades could be replenished. ”

"Give him the approval and let him get it himself." Li Yutang said,

Ruan Yongqi wrote the list of weapons and ammunition distribution on the side, asked Li Yutang to sign it, handed it to He Jianye and said,

"That's all there is to it, it's gone."

He Jianye took the approval and looked at it, his face became even more bitter.

"Two Min-24 heavy machine guns with 50,000 rounds of ammunition; 10 Czech light machine guns with 100,000 rounds of ammunition; 500 rounds of 82mm mortars and 15,000 grenades; Hanyang made 200 rifles with 10,000 rounds of ammunition. ”

"Commander, can you give some explosives? There was nothing left in the regiment. He Jianye said with a bitter face, handed the list to Li Yutang,

"Well, give you another 5,000 kilograms of explosives. Take it! Li Yutang waved his hand,

"Thank you, teacher, I'm leaving." He Jianye dragged Deputy Commander Xia to salute and went directly out of the division headquarters,

Arriving at the hospital, He Jianye said directly to Zeng Da,

"You go back and call the transportation company and the baggage company to come to the division headquarters to pull things, and I will go with Deputy Regiment Commander Xia first."

"Yes, Captain." Zeng Da returned to the headquarters of the 16th Regiment alone......

He Jianye took Deputy Regiment Commander Xia to find the logistics warehouse, and the section chief guarding the warehouse knew that this was the regiment commander valued by the division commander, and he didn't dare to embarrass him, so he brought He Jianye into the warehouse in an orderly manner, and said to He Jianye,

"See for yourself! It's all here, after sending you the equipment, I can basically go to the front line, and there is really nothing left. Ay! ”

He Jianye looked at such a large warehouse, except for grain, there was very little storage of guns and ammunition, looked at the list in his hand, silently turned around and removed the warehouse, sat down on the ground at the door of the warehouse, and looked at the sky......

Deputy Head Xia lit a cigarette and sat next to He Jianye, seeing that He Jianye was not in high spirits, and he didn't look at what he was talking about......

Half an hour later, Xie Yong and Li Zhenlin arrived with people, and after saluting He Jianye, He Jianye didn't speak, nodded to Deputy Head Xia, and signaled to start moving equipment......
