"Well, I understand the feelings of the comrades. Now we will move on to the official topic of the meeting: that is, on the replenishment of the various units after this operation. As soon as the words ended, the lively conference room instantly fell silent, and it was obvious that everyone sitting here was more concerned about this matter.

"Very good, now Staff Officer Wang will inform you of the soldiers that need to be replenished in each unit" Seeing the quiet crowd, Liu Hua nodded.

"Comrades, after the war, after the war, the first regiment of the rapid reaction brigade suffered 1,200 casualties, of which 657 were killed and 124 were seriously wounded, and according to the decision of the command, 891 new recruits were added to the first regiment. The 2nd Regiment suffered 653 casualties, of which 320 were killed and 54 were seriously wounded, 374 were replenished with new recruits, and the 3rd Regiment suffered 943 casualties, of which 340 were killed and 154 were seriously wounded, and 494 were replenished with new recruits. The entire rapid reaction brigade attacked and replenished 1,419 recruits. The guard regiment under the headquarters was supplemented with 240 recruits, the artillery regiment was replenished with 145 recruits, and its corps was replenished with 349 recruits. Report complete. After reading the data in his hand, Staff Officer Wang sat down after giving everyone a military salute.

"Well, the specific number of additional numbers in each regiment is like this, do you still have any opinions?" Looking at the excited crowd, Liu Hua asked with a smile.

You must know that if it weren't for the capture of a large number of soldiers of the security army this time, Liu Hua would not have been so generous, and he would have made up all the soldiers of each regiment at one time.

"Commander, there is no problem. If there is no problem, how can there be a problem? I have seen those soldiers of the security army, they are all well-trained soldiers of the Northeast Army, and they have all been baptized by the war, I believe that as long as there is a period of running-in, my second regiment will definitely return to the pre-war state within a month. Luo Zhihui, the second head of the regiment, replied excitedly.

"Well, that's what I want. Does anyone else have questions? Liu Hua nodded in agreement with Luo Zhihui's words, and looked at several other regiment commanders and political commissars.

"Commander, I am also very excited to add so many new recruits, and I also believe in Commander Luo's words, I would like to ask if the seriously wounded who are now lying in the general hospital of the base area, if they recover, will they still return to their original troops." At this time, Commander Shen Qinghua asked embarrassedly, because his regiment suffered the most serious losses in this battle, and the veterans lost almost half of them, so he asked, "Hehe, Commander Shen, your heart is deep enough, I have replenished so many recruits for you, and you are still thinking about the hundreds of seriously wounded, you are too unkind!" Leave something for my commander! Liu Hua replied with a smile.

"Commander, I know, in fact, I didn't report much hope, just asked." After listening to Liu Hua's words, Shen Qinghua was even more embarrassed.

"Well, since Regiment Commander Shen asked about this batch of seriously injured people, then I will tell you. After the recovery of these seriously wounded soldiers, I will stay at the General Headquarters and use them to form a training regiment, that is, a unit that specializes in training officers in the base areas, and after the formation of this unit, I will send some cadres at the company and platoon level to the three military subdivisions and your troops from time to time, and as for these cadres, of course, these are the seriously wounded. Do you have any comments? Liu Hua looked around at the cadres sitting below and said.

"Nope!" Everyone answered almost in unison.

"Good. The main topic of this meeting has been completed, and the chief of staff will make specific arrangements for the stationing and training of each regiment," Liu Hua nodded to Li Qing, the chief of staff next to him

In this way, the whole meeting lasted for more than an hour before it really ended, looking at the people who walked out, Liu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the conference room full of smoke, wanting to absorb a little fresh air.

Walking out of the door, the cool breeze unique to the cold winter night blew on his face, and Liu Hua, who had already put on a military coat, couldn't help but shiver. At this time, the commissar came to his side.

"Commander, what are you thinking?" Political Commissar Guan Xiang asked with concern.

"Hehe, it's the political commissar, it's just too stuffy in the room, I want to come out to breathe"

"It's okay. It's been more than a month of hard work, so let's have a good rest during this time! I'll take care of the affairs of the headquarters, and nothing big will happen. Come in early and rest, don't blow up. The commissar said.

"Okay, thank you Commissar." Liu Hua nodded and followed the political commissar to his house.

The next day, Liu Hua did not rest as he said to the political commissar, but came to the headquarters early, and after dealing with some backlog of affairs, Liu Hua began to sit in the courtyard of the headquarters with his eyes closed.

"Report" At this time, a sudden report woke up Liu Hua. Liu Hua opened his eyes. Wang Daoguangzheng, director of logistics, stood in front of him, looking very anxious.

"Director Wang, is there anything wrong?" Liu Hua asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Commander, the director of the General Hospital of the Headquarters just reported to me that the medicine in the hospital is about to run out, and at the current rate of medication, it can last for a week at most."

"What, a week, how can it be used so quickly, didn't we capture a month's combat supplies from a division of the Japanese army, is there no medicine in it?" Liu Hua asked in disbelief.

"No, commander, there is a large amount of medicine in the seized materials, but there are too many seriously wounded in the process of our counter-encirclement and suppression, nearly 800 people, and the daily consumption of medicine by these 800 seriously wounded is an astronomical amount, so there is only less than a week's supply left." Director Wang replied.

"Well, does the commissar know about this? Does he have any good ideas? After listening to Director Wang's words, Liu Hua frowned.

"Commander, the political commissar's solution is to let us find a way to replace Western medicine with Chinese medicine as much as possible, but there is no way to use those necessary Western medicines."

"Well, it seems that we still have to find a way from the devil!" Liu Hua sighed.

"Director Wang, in this way, the matter of finding medicine will be handed over to me, and you must follow the method of the political commissar in the past few days to find Chinese medicinal materials to replace Western medicine as much as possible." Liu Hua thought about it and said affirmatively.

"Yes, Commander"

Looking at the departing Director Wang, Liu Hua fell into deep thought, returned to the map, and thought of countermeasures. The word "medicine" was repeated in his mouth.

"Commander, what kind of medicine!" Suddenly, Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations team, came to the headquarters and interrupted Liu Hua, who was in deep thought.

"Eh, it's Xiao Gang! Medicine. By the way, Xiao Gang, the special exhibition team you led is very familiar with the entire base area, let me ask you, where can you get a large amount of medicine in the shortest possible time. Liu Hua saw Liu Xiaogang and asked.

"A lot of medicines, of course, from the hands of devils. Otherwise, who would have so many medicines. Liu Xiaogang replied without thinking.

"I know it's from the hands of the devil, but I'm asking where the devil has stored a large amount of medicine?" Liu Hua scolded with a smile.

"Commander, of course it's a hospital, there must be a large amount of medicine in the devil's military hospital, except for the hospital, I can't think of a large number of medicines as you said," Liu Xiaogang replied aggrievedly.

"Yes, the devil's hospital is the devil's hospital, why didn't I think of it! That's right, it's the devil's hospital. Liu Hua, who thought of the solution, shouted excitedly.

"By the way, Xiao Gang, has there been any movement in the Sakai Brigade closest to us recently." Liu Hua, who woke up from the excitement, saw Liu Xiaogang and asked.

"Commander, it is estimated that the old boy in Sakai was scared by us, and since he retreated into Jinzhong County with the remnants of the army, he has never come out again, but he is constantly transporting the wounded to Taiyuan or transporting a large number of supplies from Taiyuan." Liu Xiaogang replied.

"Well, transporting the wounded to Taiyuan is an opportunity that we can take advantage of. Liu Xiaogang, now I have given you a very important task for the special operations brigade, do you have the confidence to complete it?

"Yes, Commander, no matter what the task is, the Special Exhibition Brigade will ensure that it will be completed.

"Okay, the specific task is for you to snatch a large amount of medicine from the Devil Taiyuan General Hospital in a week's time. You know, now nearly a thousand wounded people in our hospital are waiting for this batch of medicines, so you don't have to complete the task. Liu Hua said affirmatively.

"Commander, you are not wrong, from the Taiyuan Devil General Hospital, you let us snatch the medicine from the hospital where the army is seriously ill!" Liu Xiaogang asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it is to let your special operations brigade pull out its teeth, and you will do this" Liu Hua whispered in Liu Xiaogang's ear to lay out the entire battle plan.

"Yes, Commander, the Special Operations Group guarantees the completion of the mission." After listening to the commander's plan, Liu Xiaogang replied excitedly, obviously, he was very confident in Liu Hua's plan.

"Okay, let's do it! Remember, this plan needs to be kept secret until the mission is completed. Liu Hua patted Xiao Gang's shoulder and said with a smile.

In this way, Liu Xiaogang left the command headquarters with a smile. Similarly, Liu Hua, who had solved the problem in his heart, was also extremely happy, and Liu Xiaogang, who returned to his station, did not make any stops, and immediately gathered all the squadron leaders and began to arrange combat tasks.

On the night of the same day, the soldiers of the first squadron of the special exhibition brigade were quietly ambushing on the road from Jinzhong to Taiyuan, and Liu Xiaogang, as the commander, kept raising the telescope in his hand in the direction of Jinzhong County, and at the same time, he was constantly looking at the pocket watch in his hand.

Because, according to the information provided by the underground party comrades who remained in Jinzhong County, the army will transport a group of wounded people to the Taiyuan General Hospital half an hour later. There were a total of six vehicles, and there was only one squad of the Yue army in charge of the protection mission.

As the minutes ticked by, the comrades waited anxiously, and none of them exposed themselves to the cold, all lying in the woods on both sides of the road. Finally, the sound of a car horn reached everyone's ears.
