"Political commissar, of course these things were thought up by our division commander" mentioned his division commander Liu Hua, Bruce Lee was full of pride.

"It's the division commander," Luo Ronghuan was full of surprise. You must know that Liu Hua was just 25 years old at this time, how did his head grow out of such a young division commander. Thinking of this, Luo Ronghuan is becoming more and more full of expectations for his future partner.

With the report that the commissar had just completed, and the 1,500 cans left by the guard regiment were handed over to the central government. The first regiment of guards, under the leadership of Bruce Lee, reluctantly left Yan'an and embarked on the road back. Since most of the entire return route was within the scope of the Eighth Route Army's base area, the entire guard regiment did not go through any battles. After only passing by some small enemy strongholds, he fought a few battles and easily crossed the enemy's blockade line.

However, in several battles through the enemy's blockade line, the newly appointed political commissar Luo Ronghuan had a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of the various units of the Reading Division. Because, in these battles, although the guard regiment faced small devils ranging from a squad to a squadron. However, if this is in his own previous troops, although he can completely annihilate them. However, in the face of the lack of ammunition, the Eighth Route Army obviously had to inflict huge casualties on the troops in the process of fighting bayonets.

However, the accompanying Guards Brigade Regiment left a different impression on him. In the face of less than a squadron of little devils, often more than a dozen light machine guns were all set up, constantly pouring ammunition at the army. At the same time, the riflemen constantly used the rifles in their hands to shoot and kill the light and heavy machine gunners and grenadiers of the Japanese army under the cover of light machine guns, and never gave the Japanese army a chance to exert its heavy firepower.

At the same time, the bullets of this army are like not asking for money,. Because in the previous troops, often after three rounds of fire, the troops launched an offensive and began a brutal white-knuckle battle. And the first regiment of the guard brigade did constantly harvest the lives of the little devils with intensive firepower, until there were few little devils left in a squadron, and then the troops were ordered to charge.

There is no doubt about the final result, a regiment of nearly 2,000 people, with less than a squad of little devils left on the position, almost did not receive any losses, and was easily solved by the soldiers with rifles, light hands, and bayonets in their hands, leaving no trouble behind. The entire unit, in the process of eliminating four patrols in a row, eliminated more than 300 little devils in total. The 1st Regiment of the Guards Brigade, although it spent a lot of important money, only suffered less than a platoon of casualties, and most of them were bullet penetrating wounds, which were easy to recover.

"Brigade Commander Li, I want to ask, in the Reading Division, how many bullets are in the hands of each soldier, why are the few ambushes you just passed, the soldiers just want bullets and don't want money, and shoot desperately. If this was in other Eighth Route Army units, they would have been trained by some commanders a long time ago. In the end, unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, political commissar Luo Ronghuan came to Bruce Lee, who was directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and asked.

"Report to the commissar, according to the regulations of the division of the reading force. In peacetime, the troop carried twenty rounds of ammunition. However, in the event of a battle, the logistics department will provide a supplement at any time, and will generally carry 50 rounds of ammunition for the battle. This time, we escorted the political commissar Guan back to Yan'an, because of the special task, so everyone slacked off 50 bullets. Listening to the political commissar's question, Bruce Lee immediately reacted and quickly replied.

"50 rounds, but I just saw that in the ambush, the fighters shot for at least five minutes. It wasn't a single battle, and it consumed almost half of the ammunition on his body. And then there's the bullets for the light machine gun, which I just roughly calculated. In less than five minutes, a regiment and a battalion fired almost 5,000 rounds of ammunition in order to completely annihilate the two squads of the army. The bullets are all out, where did you get the replenishment! Also, if you encounter the enemy twice, won't you have to fight with bayonets," the commissar asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, political commissar, this is the order of the division commander, unless all the bullets of the troops are exhausted, no troops are allowed to fight bayonets with the little devils unless they have to. As for the replenishment of ammunition, the division commander said, let's feed the war with war. Bruce Lee immediately understood the political commissar's intentions and quickly replied.

"Fighting to feed the war, but you have fired so many bullets, if you meet the little devil again, what will you do to fight?" Hearing these words, the political commissar was even more puzzled.

"Commissar, in the battle just now, we eliminated 120 little devils, although nearly 5,000 rounds of ammunition were wasted. However, we captured a full 75 rifles, six light machine guns, four grenadiers, and the corresponding ammunition. Let's talk about rifle bullets, the standard configuration of the army is 120 rounds of ammunition per person, plus the ammunition reserves they carry with the army, excluding the ammunition they shot, we have captured nearly 10,000 rounds of rifle ammunition in the ambush just now. More importantly, the army machine gun and rifle bullets are universal, plus about 3,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, we will not lose money. The fighters not only replenished the ammunition they had just consumed, but also had nearly 10,000 rounds of ammunition left. The division commander said that this is called fighting to feed war. When you encounter a little devil, be sure to destroy them all, and use the bullets of their own production to destroy themselves. Bruce Lee explained with a smile.

"Well, let me think about it, it seems like this is the truth. Brigade Commander Li, in this way, on the next road, you can tell me all the discipline you know in the base area, the establishment of various units, and the firepower allocation, and also let me have a general understanding. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, commissar, I will tell you everything I know." Bruce Lee readily agreed.

As time passes, day by day. After the whole army passed through several blockade lines of the puppet army. The distance to the base area is also getting closer and closer. Finally, on the eighth day after leaving Yan'an, the avant-garde unit of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Brigade finally met with the cavalry regiment that came to meet them.

"Report to Brigade Commander Li, the first battalion and one company of the cavalry regiment were ordered by the division commander to come to meet the political commissar." Seeing Bruce Lee, the cavalry company commander hurriedly dismounted, and after a quiet military salute, he replied loudly.

"Well, it's Company Commander Zhou. Let me introduce you to you, this is the newly appointed political commissar of our reading division, political commissar Luo. Seeing Zhou Tao, the commander of the first company of the cavalry regiment, Bruce Lee was very excited as if he was home, pointed to the political commissar next to him, and hurriedly introduced it.

"Ah report to the political commissar, Zhou Tao, the commander of the first company of the cavalry regiment, was ordered to come to answer, and asked the political commissar to instruct" Seeing the kind-looking veteran beside Bruce Lee, he is the political commissar after the reading division. Zhou Tao couldn't help but be taken aback, hurriedly saluted again, and asked loudly.

"Hehe, Lian Commander Zhou, don't be so restrained. Since we are about to arrive at the base area, let's hurry up and arrive at the base area as soon as possible, so that we can rest assured as soon as possible. Seeing Zhou Tao's face flushed, the political commissar immediately understood that it was because of nervousness, and hurriedly comforted.

"Yes, Commissar. The division commander is now at the 2nd Division Headquarters, and at our current marching speed, you have at most one day and one night before we can reach our destination. Company Commander Zhou Tao replied loudly.

"Okay, then we'll hurry up and march. Return to the base area early and meet with the division commander. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded and ordered.

"Yes, commissar," several of them replied in unison.

In this way, the entire guard regiment, under the leadership of the cavalry company, entered the sphere of influence of the Jinyi base area after a day. After resting for three hours, the troops set out on the road back again. After another six-hour continuous march, he finally met with Liu Hua, the division commander who had been waiting here for a long time, in a village.

"Political commissar, I've been looking forward to it for half a month, and I've finally looked forward to you. You don't know, when I learned that the central government had transferred you to our reading division as a political commissar, I was very happy. I think when I was a squad leader, you were an excellent political cadre of our Red Army, and you were also the political commissar of the corps. I really didn't expect that the world would make people, and today we became partners. I am a rookie in front of you, and I hope that in the future, the political commissar will be able to criticize and correct me more. I saw the political commissar Luo Ronghuan, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to me. Zhang Hua was excited, and happily held Luo Ronghuan's upper hand and said.

"Master Liu, don't talk about me. In the past two years of the Anti-Japanese War, under your leadership, the reader has fought many battles with Yue Kou, and these battles have been fought in fear. What is even more important is that the battle of the Fifth Division of the All-Annihilation Army has greatly boosted the morale of our Chinese. The Central Committee trusted me and sent me to serve as a political commissar, which was my honor. Master Liu, we will be partners in the future, and I hope that we can cooperate with each other in the future, lead the strong team of readers, and achieve greater victories in the future battles. Seeing that the young man in front of him was so easy to get along with, political commissar Luo Ronghuan finally let go of his worries, and replied with a smile.

"Well, political commissar, I believe that under our joint leadership, the reader will definitely become a strong force that will make Yue Kou fearful," Liu Hua also said with excitement on his face.

"Political commissar, you have been on the road for more than ten days, and I asked the cooking class to prepare a sumptuous reception banquet in the village. As for meeting with the heads of various military divisions, we will arrange a meeting of cadres at and above the regimental level in the base areas when we return to the division headquarters of the Reading Division, so that everyone can meet with the political commissars. Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Division commander, you can't be special, what do the soldiers eat, let's eat?" I heard that I had prepared a sumptuous reception banquet for myself. As a political commissar with a very strong principled surname, he couldn't help frowning and hurriedly took the vaccination.

"Commissar, don't worry, there will definitely be nothing special. These things are common in our base. Liu Hua said with a smile, and at the same time, he pulled the political commissar to a house where the dinner table had already been set. As soon as they walked to the door of the room, everyone smelled the smell of meat.

"Political commissar, please let me have the cooking class specially prepared, guard, take out a bottle of good wine I brought" After the political commissar sat down, Liu Hua commanded loudly to the guard at the door.

"This, division commander," looking at the big fish and meat on the table, although the political commissar was prepared, he still frowned.

"Squad Leader Wang, you can introduce the source of these raw materials to the political commissar, hehe. I think if you don't make it clear today, the political commissar will definitely not eat" Looking at the frowning political commissar, Liu Hua looked at the cooking squad leader next to him and said with a smile.

"Yes, Commander. Political commissar, this is mule and horse meat, some time ago, when the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army was wiped out, we captured hundreds of wounded mules and horses, and for your arrival, the division commander specially asked me to keep one. These fish were just caught in the river by the guard platoon today, and they are very fresh. There are also these pork and mutton, all of which are raised by our own hands in the logistics department of the base area. As for these chickens, hare meat, they were specially fought in the mountains today by the fighters of the guard platoon for your arrival. So, please feel free to eat it with political commissars. There's absolutely nothing special here. If you don't eat it, you'll be disappointed by the soldiers. The guard squad leader pointed to every dish on the table and introduced it with a smile.

"Ah, Commander, these are true." The political commissar said in disbelief.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then you're welcome. It's been so long, except for a meal of meat with a group of soldiers when I was in Yan'an, I haven't tasted meat for half a month. Hehe, it seems that the reader is not only well equipped, but also has good living conditions. This time, I'm really in the right place" Seeing Liu Hua nodded. The political commissar didn't hesitate, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, completely without the seriousness just now.

After resting for a day in the 2nd Division, the troops finally returned to the headquarters of the Reading Division, the location of Zhangjiazhuang, after two days of marching again. However, there were a lot of people who came to greet him this time, including all cadres at or above the regimental level who could come near Zhangjiazhuang. Together with their respective guards, hundreds of people greeted the procession, waiting at the entrance of the village.

Faced with the greeting of hundreds of people, everyone stayed at the entrance of the village for an hour. Liu Hua and political commissar Luo Ronghuan walked towards the headquarters under the escort of everyone. Of course, at noon in the headquarters, there was no doubt that once again there was a reception feast. Let the political commissar Luo Ronghuan once again experience the richness of various materials of the reader.

As for the next two days, in the shock of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, he learned about the establishment of the existing troops of the Reading Division, the training of the troops, and the construction of the party, government, and military aspects of the reserve base area of the Reading Division.

"Commander, I finally know now. Why has our reading division been able to win so many battles, and more importantly, why is it capable of destroying a division of the army with the strength of a division, and also being able to capture Taiyuan, an important town with strong fortifications? The political commissar, who understood the general situation of the reading division, just walked into the command headquarters and said with emotion to Liu Hua, who was sitting at the table.

"Eh, the political commissar said to listen to it, let me also guide you, the difference between our reading division and the old army of the political commissar" After listening to the words of the political commissar, Liu Hua smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Generally speaking, there are several points, on the one hand, the troops are well-trained. According to what I know, all the soldiers of the main force of the Reading Division have experienced the war, and even if they are recruits, they are also militia or garrison troops who have experienced the war. The main forces in the other base areas are basically recruits who have never touched a gun. In terms of overall combat effectiveness, one main regiment of the Reading Division is worth two regiments of other troops. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said affirmatively.

"Well, it seems that the political commissar's vision is very unique, and he immediately discovered the reason why the various units of the Reading Division have always been able to maintain strong combat effectiveness. Political commissar, to tell you the truth, all young and middle-aged people in the entire base area must go through a period of training in the militia or garrison units if they want to enter the main force. And we also use the militia and the elder brother's garrison as a base for training new soldiers. Anything else? Liu Hua nodded and continued to ask.

"The second is that the equipment is advanced and the ammunition is sufficient. As far as I know now, the firepower density of one regiment of the Reading Division, compared with the other divisions of the Eighth Route Army, is simply one in the sky and the other on the ground. At the same time, the troops had sufficient ammunition, and in wartime, each fighter carried 50 rounds of ammunition. And there are also a large number of ammunition reserves, which is something that the other three main divisions dare not think about. ”

"The other is the heavy firepower of the troops, you don't know, before I came to read the force, the entire 115th Division, all the mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and field artillery added up to less than 40, and all of them were 75 calibers. More importantly, this limited mountain artillery and field artillery should be evenly distributed among the various military divisions. Where is it as rich as our reading division, a heavy artillery regiment, plus three ordinary mountain artillery regiments, mortars are equipped to ordinary infantry regiments. This was unthinkable before I came to read. The commissar let out an exclamation and replied.

"Well, that's an important reason." Liu Hua smiled and nodded.

"Division commander, there is one more important reason, and it is also one thing that is very different from other troops, that is, the tactics and tactics of our reading division." The commissar continued.

"Different tactics and tactics from other troops?" Listening to the words of the political commissar, Liu Hua couldn't help but exclaim. Unexpectedly, the political commissar only came to the reading division for less than two days, and he discovered the magic weapon of the reading master, and he couldn't help but improve the worship of the political commissar in front of him again.
