When Tang Lao saw Wang Haitao and Tang Longzai enter the door together, he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, Longzai, you are back! Quick, sit down, you have to have two drinks with me today. Donald's joyful laughter washed away the original faint depression in the room, everyone became happy, and even Xiao Zhansheng shouted excitedly: "Grandpa, I want to eat meat!"

In the midst of laughter, everyone sat down around the dinner table, and there were not only Tang Lao, Feng Gu, but also Tian Yu's family on the table. Tian Yu gave birth to a daughter to Longzi last year, and Tang Lao named her Tang Linghua, nicknamed Huahua. After sitting down, Wang Haitao hugged Xiao Zhansheng, and Tang Longzai also hugged Huahua. The two pink-carved children naturally became the center of the family, which also made the atmosphere on the table more warm.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two children were full, Feng Gu and Tian Yu also carried their children back to the room, and only Tang Lao and Tian Yu's parents and Wang Haitao and Tang Longzai were left on the table. Tang Lao looked at Wang Haitao and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, now that the entire Chongzuo region has become your jurisdiction, you still have to be attentive and manage this area well." When it comes to foreign wars, you have so many available people at your disposal, you might as well let them go. ”

Wang Haitao replied: "Father-in-law, it's not that I don't worry about these people under me, it's just that there are some things that people below can't do, and only I can decide if I'm present." Then Wang Haitao told Donald about his meeting with Ho Chi Minh, chairman of the Vietnam Independence League, and his negotiations with them. Donald listened very seriously, and after listening, he asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, do you really have any plans to settle down abroad?"

Wang Haitao said with a smile: "Father-in-law, this is just a retreat from the enemy, if there is another way, I will not do it." Donald sighed and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I'm old, but I don't want to leave my hometown again." But you have your career to do, I only have one request, no matter what, you have to protect Longzai, keep the Longzai family, Fenggu, and Zhansheng safe!"

Wang Haitao replied: "Father-in-law, rest assured, Haitao will definitely be able to keep our family safe, and my 100,000 soldiers of the 90th Army are not vegetarians. Only then did Donald relax and continue drinking. The meal was eaten until late, until Donald had drunk too much and was carried back to the house by the servants, and the banquet was over, and everyone dispersed.

Wang Haitao took a shower and returned to the bedroom, Feng Gu had already washed up and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Wang Haitao, and the war student also had a nanny to bring saliva. Without outsiders, Aunt Feng couldn't help it anymore, threw herself into Wang Haitao's arms, choked up and said: "Brother Haitao, you have been gone for a few months, and I worry about you every day." Wang Haitao also hugged Aunt Feng and replied, "I also think about you outside, but you are in the army, and you can't help yourself." Don't worry, I have a lot of guards around me, and you don't know your Brother Haitao's skills?"

Feng Gu put her face on Wang Haitao's chest and asked, "Brother Haitao, can you stay a few more days when you come back this time?" Wang Haitao replied with a smile: "There has been no war recently, the army has just fought a big battle, and it also needs to rest for a while." I'll be at home with you for a few more days. Feng Gu also smiled happily when she heard Wang Haitao's words.

Wang Haitao was out fighting, and he hadn't touched a woman for several months, when Wen Xiang Nephrite was in his arms, where could he still hold back? This night was when the dry wood met the fire, and the two were entangled together, and they lingered until midnight before they fell asleep with exhaustion and embraced each other. Early the next morning, Wang Haitao relaxed himself like never before, and woke up after sleeping until three poles in the morning.

When he opened his eyes and saw the plump body of Feng Gu with a jade body around him, he couldn't help but feel another impulse in his heart. However, Wang Haitao, who was extremely self-controlled in all aspects, forcibly suppressed his impulse, kissed Aunt Feng, who was still spitting, and got dressed and got up. After washing, Wang Haitao came to the living room, and the maid saw that Wang Haitao was up, and immediately brought breakfast.

After eating and drinking, Wang Haitao wanted to call Tang Longzai to go back to the military headquarters together, but when he thought that today was still a holiday, and it was rare for Longzai to go home, let him rest for a day. Wang Haitao instructed the servant to bring a message to Long Zai, so that he didn't have to go back to the army today, and then turned around and went out, driving the jeep that came back and drove towards the military headquarters. As soon as he arrived at the office, Tang Renxin arrived.

Tang Renxin saluted Wang Haitao and said, "I saw the military seat driving back, so I came over. Today, I came to the military seat to discuss the rest of the troops with the military seat. Wang Haitao said: "Okay, come to Renxin, let's sit down and talk." Tang Renxin was not polite, pulled out a chair, sat down opposite Wang Haitao, and then put the folder in his hand on the desk.

Tang Renxin said to Wang Haitao: "Commander, our 90th Army has continuously engaged the 14th Army and the 16th Army of the Japanese Army, although we have suffered heavy losses to the Japanese army, but our losses are not small. This is the battle damage I have counted in the past two days, please take a look at it. Wang Haitao picked up the folder on the table and looked at it carefully. Seeing this, Wang Haitao was also secretly frightened.

In this continuous battle, the four main divisions and the four brigades directly under the 90th Army were all dispatched, and each unit suffered losses, but the severity was different. The 93rd Division, a fully staffed division, now has only three regiments of veterans, and has lost nearly half of its troops.

Of the four regiments of the armored brigade, the heavy tank regiment did not participate in the fighting in Vietnam and suffered almost no losses, while the light tank regiment lost twelve tanks, more than one-fifth of the total number of the regiment. The heavy armored vehicle regiment lost fifteen heavy armored vehicles, which accounted for a third of the number of heavy armored vehicle regiments. The light armored vehicle regiment lost thirty-four light armored vehicles, which accounted for two-thirds of the entire regiment.

The losses of the heavy artillery brigade were small, although there were dozens of heavy guns that needed to be replaced. In other units, the 90th Division lost 2,000 men, the 211th Division lost 2,800 men, the 210th Division also lost 1,800 men, the guard brigade lost 1,200 men, and the reconnaissance brigade lost more than 200 men. Half of these losses were able to return after recovering from their wounds, while the other half were either killed or disabled and could no longer participate in the battle.

Faced with such numbers, Wang Haitao's heart is heavy. After reading it, Wang Haitao asked Tang Renxin: "Have the lost soldiers been replenished?" Tang Renxin replied: "The troops that remained in Longzhou have all been replenished, and the troops who have just returned have not yet come to replenish them." The military seat, the number of replenishments is easy to do, recruit young and strong, and train them, but this time the loss of weapons is not small, the arsenal is limited by raw materials, and the replenishment is not complete at all, and the loss of the armored brigade is so large, what should I do about this?"

When Wang Haitao heard this, he also pondered, this matter is really not easy to do, there are not many weapons and equipment in the arsenal, what is left is Wang Haitao's last capital, and Wang Haitao does not plan to use it unless he is absolutely necessary. However, with so many troops pouring in, there are no new weapons available, and the combat effectiveness has not decreased at all. If you want to buy it from Germany, Qian Wang Haitao has no shortage, but there is no way to ship it in. Even the port of Qinzhou was occupied by the Japanese army, and it was impossible to smuggle in a large number of weapons and ammunition.

Wang Haitao thought for a long time, but he had no choice but to say: "Renxin, you see if this will work, concentrate the armored troops of the four divisions and all of them into the armored brigade, so that the combat effectiveness of the armored brigade will not be weakened." Among the divisions, the 90th Division and the 211th Division focused on ensuring the equipment of new weapons, the 93rd Division made every effort to equip the 277th Brigade with new weapons, and the recruits of the 278th Brigade first chose Japanese-style equipment. The recruits of the 210th Division also chose Japanese-style equipment. How?"

Tang Renxin thought about it seriously for a while and replied: "It can only be like this first, but the independent division is an empty shelf again this time, Wei Hai has made trouble with me a few times, and this matter has to be done by the military seat." Wang Haitao smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I am the only one who will be a villain again." Tomorrow there will be a meeting of officers at and above the brigade level to implement these things, and the matter of conscription should also be carried out as soon as possible. ”

After Tang Renxin left, Wang Haitao was still thinking about weapons and equipment, and even Wang Haitao thought about whether he could secretly go to Germany again and buy a batch of weapons and equipment with his storage ring to bring back. But in a blink of an eye, Wang Haitao still gave up this idea. It's not a few years ago when there were cruise ships to the United States and Germany, and now you can't go if you want to.

The more he thought about Wang Haitao in the office, the more he couldn't sit still, so Wang Haitao left the office and went to the logistics office to find Tang Renli to inquire about the situation. Tang Renli, as a senior official of the 90th Army, was very busy after returning from Wang Haitao, and when Wang Haitao found Tang Renli, Tang Renli was counting supplies in a warehouse. After Tang Renli finally finished counting the supplies, Wang Haitao pulled him to the office of the logistics department.

Wang Haitao said to Tang Renli: "Renli, you have worked hard as a big official, what is the situation of materials now?" Tang Renli replied after drinking a few sips of water: "Junzao, there is no shortage of other materials now, only the shortage of new weapons is too big, and the current ammunition reserve situation is not good, and the ammunition can only meet the daily training of the soldiers." Speaking of this, Tang Renli seemed to think of something, and suddenly became nervous.

Tang Renli glared at Wang Haitao and asked nervously: "Junza, isn't there any big action for the troops, right? Wang Haitao smiled a little embarrassedly and replied: "No action, I just want to ask how many new weapons do you have now?" Tang Renli breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Haitao: "Junzao, you come with me." ”

Tang Renli took Wang Haitao to the innermost warehouse, and along the way, Wang Haitao encountered many sentry posts. When he arrived at the warehouse door, Tang Renli asked the guard at the door to open the warehouse door and led Wang Haitao into the warehouse. After turning on the electric light, Wang Haitao saw that the large warehouse was a little empty, and Tang Renli said to Wang Haitao: "All the new weapons I have in reserve are here." ”
