Chapter 204: A Rare Calm (1)

It has been more than a week since the successful conclusion of the first military and political meeting of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, this week is the busiest week for Han Yunhua, and Han Yunhua has not done much else, but just signing the document almost made him collapse, and there must be at least hundreds of documents that he needs to sign every day, and now he has a headache when he sees the guard and secretary Gangzi, and there is nothing else to say when they meet, always the same sentence: "Report to the chief, there is a document that needs your signature"

After more than two days of meetings, the Inner Mongolia Military Region formulated a large number of principles and policies, including the resumption of production, the reconstruction of homes, and the opening of schools. However, Han Yunhua also has his own principles, he can do anything, and he can mess with anything, but only the army says that nothing can be messed up.

Han Yunhua still has another worry, that is, although the number of troops is smaller, the automatic firepower of the equipment has indeed increased a lot, a squad has increased from one light machine gun to two, a regiment is fixed with 108 light and heavy machine guns not counting the machine gun company, and there is only one bullet reloading plant under the jurisdiction of the military region, and the production capacity is not high, which is a drop in the bucket compared to consumption, and the bullet production line that the Nationalist Government supported the Eighth Route Army as a condition was left in Yan'an by the chairman.

Although it is not a big deal to rely on those captured troops to fight for a year and a half, it is not Han Yunhua's style to sit back and eat empty, and Han Yunhua knows that 38 years is only the beginning of the War of Resistance against Japan, and 40 to 42 years is the most difficult period of the War of Resistance against Japan, and it is during that period that the strength of the Eighth Route Army has seriously shrunk, and even the population of the base area has been reduced by more than half. As a far-sighted leader, Han Yunhua knew that he had to take precautions, and even rats and hares knew that only by stockpiling supplies could they survive the winter, not to mention him, the commander of the dignified military region.

For this reason, Han Yunhua issued a new order, and he ignored the opposition of Zuo Quan and others, and resolutely demanded that the weapons and equipment of all divisions and brigades could be provided by the headquarters of the military region, but there was only such a chance, but all the ammunition consumption must be found by oneself, whether it was stolen or robbed, and the headquarters of the military region would not give any support anyway.

"You are the rich man of Shanxi, leave those broken copper and iron and some materials for the troops to use, stay in the warehouse and wait for insects" Zuo Quan didn't understand Han Yunhua's approach, Han Yunhua also thought about it, but it was not as thorough as Han Yunhua's consideration, he didn't know how the Eighth Route Army survived the most difficult time of the Anti-Japanese War.

Faced with this old leader of the Red Army with strong principles, Han Yunhua really didn't know how to persuade the new political commissar of the military region. However, Shen Yuquan trusted Han Yunhua very much, he had partnered with Han Yunhua for more than a year, and he knew Han Yunhua's foresight, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Political commissar, we have to believe in the commander, he must do this for a reason." I've been working with the commander for more than a year, and I know his temper, and he doesn't bother to do it if there's no need for that. Moreover, everything the commander does has a profound meaning, and at the same time, he also has a complete plan. Trust me, he definitely has a plan for the next step. So, don't keep holding on to this little thing. Hahaha"

"I'm not always holding on to this matter, but it's uncomfortable to see that there is a large amount of ammunition in the warehouse, but instead the soldiers are desperately trying to grab it from the enemy. It's a good thing that the commander is far-sighted and far-sighted, but it's not right to put the soldiers in a dangerous situation because of a little worry about himself, Commander, you must convince me today, otherwise I really won't leave, and no one will wait for me to eat anyway, so I'm not in a hurry. Zuo Quan also inquired clearly during this time, Han Yunhua eats lunch and dinner with Li Yuhan every day, and he can't guarantee that Han Yunhua's delicate fiancée is waiting for Han Yunhua in the cafeteria now.

Don't say it, let Zuo Quan guess correctly, just before they came, the guard came over and told Han Yunhua that Li Yuhan had cooked a meal and was waiting for him in Han Yunhua's dormitory. Zuo Quan's last sentence really made him speechless, is this a threat?

"Okay, I'm afraid of you. I can tell you the bottom, I have made a preliminary count, according to incomplete statistics, our military region is equipped with a total of more than 3,300 light and heavy machine guns, do you know what kind of concept this is? Based on the basic calculation of 600 rounds of ammunition per minute, that is to say, if our troops are all mobilized, we will consume 1,980,000 rounds of ammunition per minute, and counting rifles, you can calculate how much ammunition our military region will consume in one minute. You all heard clearly, this is just a minute, what about that hour, and the little ammunition in our military region can support a long time, a day or two billion rounds of ammunition sounds huge, but do you know how much ammunition a squadron of the Japanese army consumes in a day, 50,000 rounds of ammunition, 300 mortar shells? And the consumption of one of our companies is about the same as that of the Japanese army, and even much higher. But do we have the same industrial capacity as others? No, it didn't teach them to conserve ammo, to let them know that for every bullet they fired, they had to earn back two or more rounds of ammo. Second, if a military unit wants to restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, it is not feasible to train alone, and the cadets of military academies cannot grow into generals in school, and that requires real tests on the battlefield. There is no motivation for pressure, so I have to put a little pressure on them and let them know that the military district headquarters is not a cow waiting for them to milk, and if they want to drink milk, they have to find the cow themselves. I don't know if I can satisfy the political commissar with this reason, and if I am not satisfied, I really can't help it. Han Yunhua said very seriously, he knew that Zuo Quan didn't know what he was thinking, let alone really being so stubborn, but he hadn't seen the essence of the matter, let alone the seriousness of the matter. ,

Indeed, Zuo Quan was stunned by Han Yunhua's series of figures, more than one billion bullets can only last the whole army for one day, although he also knows that Han Yunhua is incorrect, you must know that even if the Japanese army attacks on a large scale, it is impossible for the military region to send all the troops out to meet the battle, so in every major war, only a part of the troops on the front line can really fight with the Japanese army, and it is impossible to consume ammunition if you stay in the rear. But even so, the data of one billion rounds of ammunition a day is really amazing, you must know that Zuo Quan has been to the arsenal of the military region before. Although guns cannot be produced there, simple reloading of bullets and shells is still possible, and there are nearly 1,000 people working in the arsenal every day, and each person can wear more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition per day, that is to say, the arsenal can provide 1 million rounds of ammunition for the troops every day. This is also the main reason why Zuo Quan disagrees with Han Yunhua's order, every day you have so much income, what can you do if you spend a little, this is Zuo Quan's original idea.

But now that I think about it, I thought it was simple and ignored the huge consumption of the troops. This is no longer the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and it is not the configuration of five bullets per day for each soldier. The special combat team can train every day to consume 100 rounds per person, which is still controlled by Han Yunhua. Otherwise, it will be more, and this is really not much of a million rounds a day.

"Well, count you through. But since you've raised so many topics, and you're talking about the situation so alarmist, you'll have to tell me your solution, or you'll have to keep your little beauty waiting a few more hours. Zuo Quan's voice almost made Han Yunhua collapse again, it seems that the big chief has eaten him, but who let him be a small soldier before.

Han Yunhua smiled bitterly: "Comrade Political Commissar, you are interfering in my private life, it is already past twelve o'clock at noon, and it is time to get off work, and my daughter-in-law is still waiting for me to go home for dinner." If it affects our relationship as a husband and wife because I'm late, you're going to be fully responsible."

"Hahaha, don't use Yuhan to pressure me, anyway, it won't work if you don't explain it clearly today, I have already agreed to your order, but you have to tell me about the follow-up plan, and it will be easy to do it after you say it, otherwise I will always find you trouble, and it will not be kind, right, you can say it briskly" Zuo Quan doesn't eat Han Yunhua's set, but he knows that the commander of this military region is not a vegetarian, even General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Okamura Ningji have been played by him, if he is not careful, he can't do it, Look at the former political commissar comrade of the Inner Mongolia Military Region sitting next to him, and you will know that he has been subdued by this guy.

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, I think so, if the ammunition reserves are insufficient, then we have to find a way to open up the source and reduce the expenditure, the reduction has been done, but the open source has not yet been settled. We are now the only one who can provide reloaded bullets except for combat capture, but bullet reloading has its inherent shortcomings, that is, he must have cartridge shells, and a million rounds per day is only our ideal output, you must know that we cannot have so many cartridge shells for us to reload every day, so we must find a way to replace them as soon as possible. Han Yunhua finally compromised, he knew that Zuo Quan was his old leader after all, and he had to give face to him, and as the political commissar of the military region, he still had to know this. The reason why he was reluctant to say it before was because he hadn't figured out how to solve the problem himself, and since he wanted to know, it wouldn't be a big deal to talk to him about his immature ideas.

"By what way?" Zuo Quan and Shen Yuquan asked in a condensed voice at the same time. What Han Yunhua said was exactly what they were worried about, although bullet reloading can solve some problems, but it is definitely not a long-term solution.
