Chapter 223: Looking Southwest to Taihang (4)

The reunion of long-lost comrades-in-arms, the mellow liquor, the Yellow Cliff Cave is full of joyful laughter, the soldiers have no reason to be unhappy, and the vicious Japanese devils have been fighting for several years, the troops are growing rapidly, especially this thousand-mile battle, and finally arrived at the destination victoriously, you can temporarily wash away the dust of the body, temporarily forget the battlefield full of artillery, and enjoy the joy.

In the happy crowd, there was one who couldn't be happy, this was Liu Chun, the captain of the cavalry detachment, when he saw Tong Batu's second cavalry detachment, more than 4,000 war horses, driving into the Yellow Cliff Cave, this guy's eyes were straight at that time.

Looking at the second cavalry detachment newly incorporated into the cavalry, the confidence in my heart is not enough, they are all engaged in cavalry, look at the second detachment of other people, that is called the soldier strong and the horse is strong, coincidentally, Tong Batu heard that Liu Chun is the old cavalry unit of the Bloody Hand Regiment, and they are all people who take horseback as their home, and there is a natural sense of intimacy.

Mongolian men are all bold, Tong Batu came over, didn't talk nonsense with Liu Chun, first made a big bowl, scared Liu Chun, good guy, this bowl of wine is more than half a catty, and it was dry in one bite, Tong Batu had a good impression of Liu Chun at that time, refreshing, real, and a man, this brother has made a deal

He pulled Liu Chun and chatted with him about cavalry tactics, these two are experts, they have a common language, the more they talk, the closer they are, this relationship comes up, and the amount of alcohol also grows, where is Liu Chun Tong Batu's opponent, a few bowls of wine, drunk almost away.

Although this guy was drunk, he didn't forget to remember the good things of others, and said inarticulately: "Captain Tong, are we brothers?" "Tong Batu's chest slapped with a mountain sound, and that posture was almost a lot of heads.

"Brothers are aggrieved, they are all cavalry detachment leaders, look at you, more than 4,000 horses, but what about me? There are less than a thousand people, and they don't have the face to dangle in front of you" Tong Batu also has eight points of alcohol, and his brother is not happy, just for this matter, it is easy to do, and two thousand people will be transferred to you from here, and if you have a brother, you will have a brother.

These two drunks, both of whom are still anxious, hugging their necks and waists, their brothers and younger brothers screamed affectionately, and they went to the camp of the second cavalry detachment crookedly, called the four captains back from the wine table, and made a decision on the spot, the first and second brigades of the second cavalry detachment, from tomorrow, will be subordinate to the leader of the cavalry detachment, this is your Liu detachment leader, and also my Tong Batu's brother, and I will listen to him in the future.

In the second cavalry detachment, the first and second brigades were the strongest brigades in combat effectiveness, and the Mongols had the habit of giving the best to their brothers.

The two of them did not expect that this decision had a great impact in the second cavalry detachment, the soldiers of the second detachment, all of whom were Mongolians, naturally had a cohesive and centripetal force, out of natural fear of Han officials, and hatred of being deceived and insulted by the Han army and the landlords among the Han people since childhood.

There is a natural vigilance and precautionary mentality towards the Han people, for fear of dispersing them to various units and being bullied by the Han commanders, and besides, the time to join the army is also short, which is also the main reason why Tang Qiuli has not been there, and the second detachment has sent a commander.

As soon as several captains were combined, Brother Tong must have been drunk, either he was threatened, or he couldn't agree to break up the brothers.

The news spread quickly, and a feeling of uneasiness spread among the Mongolian soldiers of the second cavalry detachment, they didn't have the heart to drink, and several captains even discussed it, and when Brother Tong woke up, he went to confirm the matter, and if he forcibly broke up the Mongolian brothers, he would pull out of the team and work alone, so that he would not fight devils

This kind of uneasy commotion was noticed by Liu Tiehan, who was old and serious, he did not alarm anyone, and walked around a few times among the soldiers of the second detachment, and the soldiers also recognized him as the deputy commander, and told Liu Tiehan what he thought in his heart.

Liu Tiehan was shocked into a cold sweat, these two guys almost caused a mutiny in the troops, he called the four captains together, and first expressed his attitude, this is by no means an order from the command, and the two detachments will not be forcibly separated, and when everyone sobers up, Liu Tiehan has already handled the matter very satisfactorily.

Afterwards, Liu Chun was severely criticized, and he was also sent to the second detachment to review all the Mongolian fighters, and then sent more than a dozen party members to go deep into the fighters to do their ideological work, and the soldiers understood the intentions of the leaders of the troops.

Within the party members, several meetings were held, and Liu Chun's tears were criticized, and it took several reviews within the party to get through.

The soldiers of the second cavalry detachment, after understanding the truth of the matter, also lifted their guard, coupled with the equal atmosphere of the troops, realized that no matter what nationality it is, they are all part of this army, and they have no fear of being reorganized into other troops. A storm subsided in this way, and the soldiers got along even more harmoniously.

Subsequently, the unit was reorganized and officially called, and the National ** Army Army was newly organized into the North China Independent Division, and now, the strength of the unit has reached 75,000 people.

Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Fifth Independent Brigade, was originally the deputy head of a detachment, was born in the Northeast Army system, and was Li Honggang's deputy.

Shen Jingshan, commander of the Second Artillery Brigade, was originally the deputy head of the artillery detachment, born in the ** party member system, and was Zheng Yong's deputy, and his command ability and professional skills are not inferior to Zheng Yong.

In addition, the original air defense brigade will be expanded into an independent division air defense regiment, which can be expanded into an air defense brigade depending on the future combat situation.

Shen Jun, the director of the Investigation Division, was originally Qiu Sheng's deputy, but now, the division headquarters has added a department to be responsible for anti-spy work inside and outside the unit.

The intelligence and security department of the base was changed to the intelligence and security department of the Huangyadong base area, and the post of director was still held by Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy division commander, and the functions of the department remained unchanged.

After the reorganization, the strength of each infantry brigade reached 13,000 men, and there were four reinforced regiments, the first and second cavalry brigades, with an establishment of 2,600 men each.

After the reorganization of the troops, after the end of the reorganization, inside and outside the Huangya Cave, the stars are shining, officers at all levels are wearing military ranks, and as soon as the brand-new general's uniforms are worn, people are immediately in good spirits, in the independent division, there are three lieutenant generals, thirteen major generals, as for the colonel-level officers, there must be hundreds, which is unique in the ** army at that time.

After the reorganization meeting, Tang Qiuli left the logistics minister Zhang Quan alone, he made a list, which was all kinds of materials and medicines that needed to be purchased, as well as military raw materials, looking at these dizzying long lists, Zhang Quanquan was embarrassed, he was a little distressed about money, how much does it cost?

Tang Qiuli knew that this old minister was worried about money again, so he told him, don't worry about money, especially food and daily necessities, the more the merrier, Liu Heiqi's treasures, you can't use these things to buy, Jinzhou also made a big windfall from the little devil, and now, our independent division is not short of money.

Historically, in 1940, there was a two-year drought in the Taihang Mountains of North China, and after that, there was a locust plague, coupled with the sweep of devils, the economic foundation of the base area was almost completely destroyed, and the crops were almost unharvested.

Since the crops know this history, they can't help but take precautions, and they must establish a grain reserve system to ensure the amount of grain stored for 100,000 people for three years.

Not only that, but he also sent a telegram to the old man Zhu Zixuan, asking him to purchase a large amount of military explosives, yellow powder, and thunder mercury, as well as seamless steel pipes and special metals in Europe and the United States.

After finishing all this, he turned his attention to the current situation, he should go to Beiping and meet Song Zheyuan, after all, he is his superior, not to mention, he is also the vice chairman of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, he does not show his face, and it is not easy to explain to all parties, there, he can still meet the Japanese, and he can test their attitude.

None of this is difficult, but what makes him scratch his head the most is ......
