Liu Shuai finally left. Liu Yu originally persuaded him to stay and celebrate the New Year together, but he was anxious to go back and prepare to attend a meeting at the headquarters after the new year.
Before leaving, I also took away a 37mm anti-tank gun and a 75mm field gun...
Originally, he wanted to take away all four cannons. Fortunately, Luo Haiming cried, made trouble, and hanged himself. In the end, the two cannons were not taken for nothing. Instead, they exchanged one cannon for the price of 20 veteran artillerymen, and exchanged it for 40 experienced artillerymen. artillery.
Before leaving, Liu Shuai personally wrote out the deployment order. The 40 artillerymen should all be on the way by now.
The Type 37 anti-tank gun was said to be sent to Commander Chen Zaidao in Jizhong as compensation.
Because Lao Song and his original partner worked brilliantly in Jizhong, but Lao Song was suddenly transferred away, Commander Chen suddenly felt that his body was hollowed out, so he was always in a mood.
Now give him a combat anti-cannon with 200 rounds of artillery shells as comfort. Now it will be much easier for them in the Central Hebei Military Region to attack the Japanese strongholds.
It is said that after Commander Chen got the cannon, he said on the spot that it smelled really good.
As for Lao Song?
Love so and so!
Of course, this is a story for another day.
. . . . . .
Another month has passed quickly, and the new recruits in Zhangzhuang Town have been replaced. The original group has been reorganized as planned. After another month of training in their respective units, they can be pulled out to meet the small units that go out to find the Japanese. , accumulated combat experience.
Yuan Xuekai and Jiang Yueqin, who went to central Henan, were also called back.
Yuan Xuekai officially served as the leader of the Second Regiment of the Independent Column.
Speaking of Jiang Yueqin, she is Liu Yu's old friend and Jiang Fengchun's eldest daughter.
Don't tell me, it's just as Uncle Jiang said, this girl is so pretty.
But Uncle Jiang is afraid that he won't be able to keep this girl. He has been working with Yuan Xuekai for two months, and the two have been secretly flirting with each other.
Fortunately, Old Jiangtou was the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Regiment. If he was in the Second Regiment and saw "the pig who wanted to eat his own cabbage" every now and then, the key point was that the pig was still his superior, and he would probably be aggrieved. die.
Now the regiment has moved forward to station in the Pingdingnao and Shanlingnao areas in Jingjing County to guard against the two Japanese field brigades in their hometown and Jingzhuang stronghold.
The second regiment was deployed to the front line of Xilai Temple and Beizhuang in the north to calm down the Japanese in the city.
Now the independent column has the main force of the 129th Division in Liao County to the south, and two main regiments to the north and northeast. The Pingluo Highway has been completely controlled by the Eighth Route Army, which can be said to be very stable.
What, the little devil abandoned the road and marched lightly along the mountain road to attack Xiyang?
Then Liu Yu would probably die laughing!
If the little devils don't bring heavy equipment and don't ask Liu Yu whether he can do anything to them, just ask him if he dares to come?
In the Battle of Niangziguan the year before last, the little devils were also betting. Itagaki Seishiro was beaten to a black nose and swollen face at Xinkou. If the situation was not opened up quickly, their plan to "occupy Shanxi in one month" would be completely ruined.
Let the little devil try again?
Liu Yu was not Huang Shaohong, and the independent column had even more powerful firepower than those of the Kuomintang's miscellaneous troops at that time.
Since the living environment was good, Liu Yu ordered new soldiers to be recruited and trained again, as supplementary forces for the two main regiments, or to prepare for the subsequent establishment of new units.
This stumped Lao Song. After two months of training, Huo Huo had already wiped out all the savings in the military region. He only had the 10,000 yuan that he had just received from selling grain from the headquarters. He still wanted to practice?
However, Liu Yu said that he must practice, even if he tries to sell things by selling iron, he must practice!
This is not just a whim. Just two days ago, on February 26, the Japanese launched a large-scale raid on our base area in northwestern Shanxi. The 120th Division and the decisive column were resisting tenaciously.
Liu Yu served as a soldier in his previous life. It’s hard to tell the history, but the military history of our army is clear. He knew that this counter-mopping operation would last for several months, and he might be able to find an opportunity to give the Japanese a sap while their attention was all over there.
When the time comes and we win the battle, are we still afraid that we won’t be able to train new recruits?
1 point per box of canned beef?
Now the infantry of the two main regiments of the independent column is basically full, and the artillery below is still lacking. According to the original reorganization plan, the artillery company directly under the main regiment should have 4 Type 92 infantry guns and mortars. 12 doors. But now there are only 4 infantry guns in total, so they can only be divided equally between the two regiments for the time being, two for each regiment. The remaining 12 mortars are enough.
As for other directly affiliated units such as baggage trains, engineering troops, and field hospitals, they are temporarily lacking in personnel because they are too poor.
But then again, each of Liu Yu's main regiments now has more than 1,800 people. According to Brother Yunlong, even a mosquito would bite him out of a tube of blood, not to mention there are two regiments now!
. . . . . .
Refugee camp in the west of the city.
Liu Yu was free today, so he came here to inspect again. The person accompanying him during the inspection was Jiang Yueqin, the head of the propaganda section.
The little girl is very capable. She went to central Henan and organized nearly 100,000 refugees to come to Xiyang. The number is still increasing, and more refugees are arriving one after another.
Of course, this also greatly increased the burden on the military region.
Of the 5,000 tons of white flour, 1,000 tons were handed over, 1,000 tons were sold to Yan Laoxi, and the remaining 3,000 tons are being consumed rapidly. It is conservatively estimated that it will last for two months at most.
This is the result of exchanging white flour with local people for miscellaneous grains.
Now in the entire military region, only Liu Yu is as stable as an old dog. The others are almost bald, especially Lao Song.
Seeing that there were 200 points left in the system to prepare for emergencies, Liu Yu expressed that he was not panic at all. For potatoes, sweet potatoes and other grains in the system, one point was worth 50 tons!
If it doesn’t work, we will add another 5,000 tons at that time.
What? The refugees are used to eating white flour and don’t want to eat potatoes anymore?
Please, do you know what a refugee is?
When my children are hungry, they can eat different foods from other families. Guanyin soil is usually the staple food, and grass roots and tree barks are added as extras!
What potatoes?
That’s a mountain treasure!
Looking at the simple shack made of a large piece of wooden board in front of me, fortunately the weather has gradually warmed up since February. Otherwise, given the climate in Jinzhong, if it continues to be cold, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.
It is said that although most of the refugees who froze to death were actually very hungry, resulting in a lack of calories (there is a scientific basis for being able to resist freezing when you are full), but given the harsh winter environment in Jinzhong, even if you are full, , Liu Yu is still worried about those refugees.
No, he would come over to check on the refugees whenever he had time in the past few days.
When I walked into the refugee camp, the three kneels and nine knocks at the beginning were no longer there.
The refugees walked all the way from central Henan to Jinzhong, a distance of hundreds of miles. Whether it was the territory of the Japanese or the Central Army, the officials did not care whether they lived or died. Some even used guns to drive them away like a plague. leave.
When we arrived in Xiyang, we ate two large white buns with hot stick noodle porridge, and everyone burst into tears.
When they saw Liu Yu for the first time and learned that this handsome young man was the "living Bodhisattva" who supported them, a large group of people immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
There is no such phenomenon now. When seeing Liu Yu now, everyone will call him "Commander Liu" or "Little Chief" affectionately. The main reason is that Liu Yu has no airs and is young. Older people see Liu Yu as His eyes were as if he were looking at his own children. Some of them were young and courageous, so they just called him brother.
Liu Yu walked by and responded with a smile to everyone who greeted him. Some of the people he met would stop and chat about their daily routine.
Walking to the middle of the camp, Liu Yu said to Jiang Yueqin beside him: "The refugees have food, and now their physical condition is gradually stabilizing. Next, we must pay attention to epidemic prevention, organize them to do hygiene together, and Take a shower and exercise more. Feel free to use the disinfectant and insecticide powder in the warehouse, but don’t save. I’ll buy them if they’re not enough.”
Jiang Yueqin quickly responded: "Yes, Commander!"
Liu Yu was about to say something more when he suddenly spotted a beautiful girl not far away from the corner of his eye, playing shuttlecock with a few dirty children.
Take a closer look, okay, Wang Qian!
Liu Yu touched his nose and said to Jiang Yueqin: "You go and do your work first, I will go around by myself."
"OK."
After dismissing Jiang Yueqin, Liu Yu walked towards Wang Qian.
Wang Qian also saw Liu Yu, kicked the shuttlecock away with a strong kick, and then let the children play by themselves.
When Liu Yu came closer, Wang Qian snorted proudly, turned around and left.
Liu Yu followed up with a bang: "What's going on? Who made you angry? Tell me and I'll cut him!"
Wang Qian glanced at him sideways: "Hey, isn't this Commander Liu? It's such a coincidence. When did he come?"
Liu Yu: "..."
Is it really okay for you to tell lies with your eyes open?
He cursed in his heart and asked: "Why are you here?"
Wang Qian: "Why, I can't be here?"
Liu Yu touched his nose and was so angry that he lost his temper.
"Yes, yes, the key point is that this place is so chaotic and you are so beautiful. What if you meet someone with evil intentions?"
Wang Qian rolled her eyes: "Oh, do you still care about me? Thank you!"
Liu Yu wanted to hit his head against the wall.
After Xiyang was captured, Wang Qian was naturally brought back. After all, the military camp was not as comfortable as the courtyard at their home.
However, since the day after returning, Liu Yu relied on the curse experience accumulated in his previous life and scolded away the relatives of the Wang family who were fighting for the family property, and never visited Wang Qian again.
I can't help it, there are too many things to do, I'm really busy.
It seems that this little aunt was offended to death.
Seeing Liu Yu's anxious look, Wang Qian pursed her lips and snickered, then put on a gentle expression and said softly: "I came here with Uncle Quan to deliver some food to the refugees here. Order some clothes, quilts, etc. Besides, it’s broad daylight, what can happen?”
Liu Yu saw her face change instantly and thought to himself that she was probably not a chameleon who became a spirit!
Sure enough, every woman is an actor!
However, the charming smile really made Liu Yu feel relaxed and happy, but it was really tiring to be in a relationship with such a girl.
Just as he was about to speak, another shout came to his ears.
"Commander!"
Along with the shouting, there was also Ma Chao's dashing figure, and he was accompanied by a messenger from the headquarters.
Liu Yu looked at Wang Qian again.
Sure enough, the girl's face darkened again, and she said angrily to Liu Yu: "You go about your business, I'm going back."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Liu Yu looked at her back and raised his hand, wanting to shout, but he swallowed the words before he reached his lips and turned to face Ma Chao and the others.
"What's wrong?"
The two stopped in front of Liu Yu, and heard the messenger gasp and salute: "Commander, the Second Regiment reported that there was movement to pacify the Japanese in the city. The strength was about a squadron, equipped with an infantry artillery squad, and they were heading towards us. The defense line of Hsi Lai Temple is approaching!"
"What the hell? I'm not looking for trouble with him, but he's here to seek death! Let's go back to the headquarters!"
On Wang Qian's side, her pace seemed to be quite fast, but her steps were small. She walked slowly for more than ten meters and found that Liu Yu hadn't called her yet. Looking back again, Liu Yu has gone far.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but in the end she could only stamp her feet and sigh, adding a hint of resentment.
