Li Yunlong continued: "Other military divisions are laying off their troops, and their strength has been greatly reduced. Some military divisions may now have less than a brigade. But ours here has surpassed an army of the Zhongyang Army. No one can compare with them. "
Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao were also very excited. Who among commanders doesn't want their troops to be strong?
Since superiors issued orders to streamline and reorganize, the units have taken action.
Three months later, the headquarters sent people to various military regions to check the implementation of the order to streamline and reorganize. Each military district also went to each military district to conduct inspections.
On this day, the commander and chief of staff of the Taiyue Military Region came to the Mawushan base area to inspect the situation after the Mawushan Military Division was streamlined and reorganized.
During this period of time, due to the reorganization of the troops, the various ministries have basically not fought any major battles. Only the troops in the Mawushan Military Division have fought several battles in succession. The commander is somewhat worried that the troops in the Mawushan Military Division will suffer greater losses.
You know, the troops of the Mawushan Military Division are now the top main force of the Taiyue Military Region. If the losses here are too great, it will directly reduce the combat effectiveness of the entire Taiyue Military Region.
Although the Taiyue Military Region has taken some measures, due to the drought and the spirit of the superiors' instructions, the Taiyue Military Region's troops have still been downsized. The current number of people reported according to the establishment table is less than half of before.
The commander knew that there were many troops laying ambushes, and the actual number of troops reduced was not that many, but at least one-third of the total number was reduced.
After meeting Li Yunlong, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others, the chief of staff asked directly: "Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, tell the truth, how many troops do you really have now?"
Li Yunlong said with a playful smile: "Commander, Chief of Staff, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
The commander said: "Don't do this to me, kid. Honestly, how much wealth do you still have?"
Li Yunlong said: "Zhang Dabiao, bring over the army's establishment list."
Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong, not knowing what to do for a moment.
He asked: "What's the current troop establishment list?"
The reason why Zhang Dabiao asked this is because the Mawushan Military Division has two accounts. They have made two organization tables. One organization table is based on the requirements of the superiors. The organization table after streamlining and reorganizing is superficial. It is for Seen by superiors. Another part is the true strength of their Mawushan troops.
Li Yunlong said: "The commander and chief of staff are not outsiders, so just take out our family wealth."
Zhang Dabiao took out the real strength and organization table of the Mawushan Military Division and handed it to the commander.
After reading it, the commander had a smile on his face, and then gave the organization list to the chief of staff.
After reading it, the chief of staff said happily: "Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, you guys are really good at hiding such great strength, which made the commander and I worry about you for a long time in vain."
The military region now has a total of nine military divisions, as well as military region agencies and directly affiliated teams. After being streamlined and reorganized, the total strength is only 80,000.
There are actually 50,000 people in the Mawushan Military Division. Taking into account the hidden strength of each military division, the Mawushan Military Division alone accounts for one-third of the total strength of the Taiyue Military Region.
Not only that, the troops in the Mawushan Military Division have the best equipment and can also be said to have the strongest combat effectiveness.
Both the commander and the chief of staff felt confident. Very happy with this.
The commander smiled and said: "Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, you guys are acting against the will of your superiors. You did not follow the orders of your superiors to reduce the troops. Instead, you privately expanded so many troops. Tell me, how should this account be settled?" "
Li Yunlong knew the commander's temper very well. He said, "Commander, if you want to rip off someone, just say it clearly and don't use this trick to scare people."
The commander smiled and said: "Li Yunlong, your attitude is quite good. This time you will not be held responsible for disobeying your superiors' instructions. In addition to visiting the troops this time, we really have some problems that need you to solve."
Zhao Gang said: "Si
Commander, if there is anything you need us to do, please tell us. As long as we can take advantage of it, we will do our best. "
The chief of staff said: "To tell you the truth, although the troops have been reduced in size during this drought, the financial pressure is still very high, especially for the relief of victims in the base areas. It can be said that our family funds have been basically emptied. All military personnel This is basically the case with partitions.
I heard that you have made another windfall, do you want to hand over part of it to help with the emergency? "
Although Zhao Gang spoke beautifully when he expressed his stance, when he heard that the commander and chief of staff were here to ask for money, he immediately felt distressed and looked at Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong has the final say on these matters, and the commander also knows that Xu Dalong is the backbone of the Mawushan Military Division.
He simply asked Xu Dalong directly: "Xu Dalong, tell me, how much funding can you provide?"
Xu Dalong understood his difficulty. He thought for a moment and said, "Wei Zhao, please keep one third of our existing ocean and hand over the rest."
After listening to this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both felt a twinge of pain.
This is a big deal! Two-thirds of the military subdivision's family assets were taken away at once. This feeling is really unpleasant.
However, they all know the commander and know that the commander is very considerate of his subordinates and will understand the difficulties of his subordinates. Since he came to ask for money in person, you can imagine the difficulty he faced. Therefore, both of them nodded in agreement.
The chief of staff asked, "How much money do you two-thirds have?"
Zhao Gang said: "600,000 oceans."
The commander and chief of staff were both a little shocked.
The chief of staff said: "We all know that you are very fat, but I didn't expect that you have such a big family. Now you can solve a big problem."
Li Yunlong felt a pain in his body. He paid for it, so he had to take advantage of it.
He said: "Brigadier Commander, Chief of Staff, this money was saved by us cutting back on food and clothing. After handing over this money, we will have to tighten our belts and live a better life from now on."
The commander smiled and said: "Li Yunlong, you kid, don't do this. I can smell the alcohol on you eight feet away. You drink a little wine every day and your life is so smooth. How dare you pretend to be here?" poverty."
The chief of staff said: "The Mawushan Military Division is really good. If all the military divisions in our military region have their strength, our military region alone can drive out all the little Japanese in Shanxi."
The commander put away his smile and said solemnly: "Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, and Wang Limin, you are all good people. You have all made great contributions. Your superiors value you very much. Your efforts and contributions will never be forgotten.
The leader personally told me that among the troops at the military division level, your Mawushan Military Division has opened up a base area behind enemy lines. Compared with other military divisions, it has greater difficulties. When encountering difficulties, there is no superior. The help can be said to be the sole support for the crisis.
Under such difficult and difficult conditions, you have continued to grow and develop, and have provided a lot of help to your superiors.
Such troops are the pride of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. You commanders have made indispensable contributions and will definitely be reused in the future and shoulder greater responsibilities. "
The commander's words were very heart-warming for everyone, and all the imbalances they felt after paying the money disappeared.
Next, the commander held a military meeting,
Then the commander talked to Xu Dalong alone.
He asked: "According to the information you provided, the Japanese army is about to launch the Pacific War. The Japanese army is about to dispatch a large number of troops south to Southeast Asia. The superiors have decided to take the opportunity to carry out offensive operations behind enemy lines and expand the underground party's anti-Japanese base. What do you think?"
Ordinarily, the opinions of a small regiment-level cadre would not be solicited for such an important decision. But Xu Dalong was different. This information was obtained by Xu Dalong. His superiors believed that Xu Dalong must have some understanding of the situation of the world-wide anti-Japanese war and wanted to seek his opinion as a reference.
After listening to the commander’s words, Xu Da
Long deeply felt that his superiors valued him.
He said: "The superiors considered it very correctly. After the Japanese army sent a large number of troops southward, the Japanese troops in the rear area were relatively empty. It was indeed a good opportunity for our underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces to expand their base areas.
But because of this, in order to avoid such a situation, the Japanese army will definitely concentrate its forces in the months before the outbreak of the Pacific War and focus on raiding the base areas of our underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. Therefore, we hope that our superiors will be prepared in advance to deal with a large-scale Japanese attack.
Not only that, after the Japanese army launched the Pacific War, although they would withdraw some of their troops and go south to Southeast Asia, the pressure our army faced was not easy.
In order to make up for the lack of troops, the Japanese army will transfer a number of garrison divisions from China. In addition, they will also increase their support for Han women's armed forces and use these Han women's armed forces to deal with the anti-Japanese armed forces of our underground party.
At this stage, special attention must be paid to the fact that the Japanese army will increase its efforts to win over senior generals in the Guojun army who are not firm in their stance, and to prevent a large number of Guojun generals from rebelling and surrendering to the enemy. "
What Xu Dalong said are all real situations that happened in history.
In order to make up for the lack of troops on the Chinese battlefield after launching the Taiping War, the Japanese army strengthened its support for the puppet army. They used coercion and inducement to cause a group of Japanese generals to rebel and surrender to the enemy. As a result, the puppet army developed rapidly. In the Ming Dynasty, In the next two years, the number of puppet troops will reach an astonishing 3.5 million.
This is only the regular army, and does not include other various Han and female armed forces. The threat posed by these puppet troops to the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party is, to some extent, no less than that of the Japanese army.
Therefore, the next two years will still be an extremely difficult period for the anti-Japanese struggle.
After Xu Dalong finished speaking, the commander nodded and said: "You are right. My superiors also obtained some relevant information, but I did not expect that the situation would be so serious. Your analysis is completely correct. I will report it to my superiors immediately after I return. "
The commander believed that Xu Dalong's opinions were very important. He was eager to go back and report, so he did not stay in the Mawushan Military Division and soon returned to the Taihang Mountain base with Zhang Wanhe.
After listening to the report from the commander of the Taiyue Military Region, the superiors took it very seriously.
The superiors instructed to pay close attention to the movements of the Guo Army to prevent troops from the Guo Army from rebelling and surrendering to the enemy, and to prevent them from colluding with the Japanese army and launching a siege against the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. All units of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces must be prepared for emergencies.
The Chongqing Underground Party Office heard some rumors. After communicating with the superiors, it suggested that the information provided by Xu Dalong should be reported to Guofu, and the Guofu should be strengthened to take precautions against those senior generals who were secretly dealing with the Japanese invaders to prevent them from rebelling and surrendering to the enemy. .
The Guo government attaches great importance to this and requires military commanders to strengthen monitoring of suspected Guo army generals.
The military commanders heard that Xu Dalong had provided the information, and they also applied to the Chongqing office of the underground party, asking Xu Dalong to go to the military commanders headquarters to cooperate with the military commanders in launching an operation to eliminate female cadres.
The order came quickly, and the commander of the Taiyue Military Region informed Xu Dalong to report to the Chongqing office.
Xu Dalong can bring back a large amount of money every time he goes to Chongqing, and even full-scale weapons and equipment.
Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and others felt a little distressed because they had just handed over a large amount of money to their superiors and spent a lot of money to resettle the victims. When they heard that Xu Da was going to Chongqing, they strongly supported it.
Li Yunlong said: "Those guys in Chongqing have a lot of money, and they plundered it from the people. Brother Dalong, this time you must be more ruthless and beat those guys hard. You can't take advantage of those gangsters." "
Zhao Gang also said: "Captain, the finances in our base area are a little tight now. When you go to Chongqing this time, you must find a way to get more money back."
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong sang together here, and Zhang Dabiao couldn't stand it.
He said: "Commander, Commissioner Zheng, you two have gone too far.
Brother Dalong went to Chongqing to carry out the task of exterminating women. This is a deep dive into a tiger's den, a narrow escape from death.
You don’t care about Brother Dalong’s safety either, so you keep asking Brother Dalong to
To make money is really too much. "
Li Yunlong stared and said, "Zhang Dabiao, don't be so careless here. Who said that the army's training funds were tight, cried and asked for money from Commissioner Zhao Zheng, and now he is here making cheap talk.
Dabiao, we have been together for so many years, and now I realize that you are a two-faced guy.
I was mistaken before. I thought you were a loyal and honest guy, but you turned out to be a female minister. "
At this time, Zhao Gang also said: "Old Li is right, who said we don't care about the safety of the captain? He is so capable that the little devil is no match for him. Do we still need to worry about him?"
When Xu Dalong heard Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang talking like this, he felt a little dumbfounded.
He thought to himself: "The leader has always been this virtuous, and Commissioner Zheng has completely followed suit. These two guys, now they talk about asking for money, and they look like female businessmen."
