Let’s not talk about Doihara Kenji and Kawashima Yoshiko for now, let’s talk about Xu Rui later. x23us. com is the fastest updated
Since Wuwei County is already controlled by the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army, and the territory of the fourth detachment has been integrated with the Dameishan Military Division, Xu Rui and the remnants of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army have not encountered each other since they landed in Liudu Town. Regardless of any obstacles, I successfully returned to Dameishan District two days later.
The little devil wanted to stop him, but he couldn't spare any troops.
After all, the Battle of Wuhan has not really ended yet, and there is still a lot of finishing work to be done. Moreover, Seishiro Itagaki has been seriously injured and hospitalized, and the Eleventh Army has been in chaos. This means that the overall situation of the Battle of Wuhan has been decided, otherwise it may not really happen. Waves may arise out of thin air, or even victory may turn into defeat.
In short, the little devil no longer cares about Xu Rui.
However, Xu Rui's recruitment of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army continues to ferment.
The High Command of the National Army sent four consecutive notes to the New Fourth Army's military headquarters, requesting the New Fourth Army to put pressure on Xu Rui and release the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army to return to the army. Out of the political need to safeguard the overall situation of the anti-Japanese united front, the New Fourth Army's military headquarters also issued four consecutive notices. This time he sent a telegram to the Dameishan Military Division, asking Xu Rui to explain clearly about the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army.
However, Xu Rui denied it, saying that all members of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army had indeed died in the battle.
Not even the head of the New Fourth Army's military department believed Xu Rui's rhetoric, nor did Chairman Chiang Kai-shek or the senior officials of the National Army Headquarters. But there was nothing you could do if you didn't believe it, because Xu Rui refused to admit it. Can you point a gun at Xu Rui's head and force him to admit it? Chairman Chiang did have this intention, but Xu Rui was behind enemy lines and out of reach.
It is said that Chairman Chiang was so angry that he got angry several times because of this incident, but in the end he had no choice but to let it go.
However, deep down in his heart, Chairman Chiang hated Xu Rui. Of course, Xu Rui didn't care about it. What did it matter whether Chairman Chiang hated him or not
Two days later, Xu Rui and his party arrived in Meizhen smoothly.
At this time, the Dameishan base area had a completely new look.
Especially in Meizhen, the center of the base area, a large number of buildings have been added, and its liveliness is no less than that of the county town. After passing Shaqiao Gang, the puppet troops of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army and the Jiujiang Guard Brigade were dumbfounded. They I never thought that there would be such a big and lively town in the mountainous area of central Anhui.
Xu Rui first asked Leng Tiefeng to settle the Sichuan puppet troops into the guard camp. In fact, Xu Rui did not intend to split these more than 300 to 400 elite veterans, but planned to integrate them directly into the guard camp.
Leng Tiefeng led the troops away, and Xu Rui went straight back to the army compound.
As soon as I sat down after returning home, and before I even had time to take a sip of tea, the logistics director Xiao Yanyue came to the door and complained to Xu Rui.
"Captain, I can't do this as the logistics director anymore." Xiao Yanyue said angrily.
Xiao Yanyue is also an old man in the independent group, so she keeps calling Xu Rui the leader of the group and cannot change her tune.
Xu Rui stood up and poured a glass of water for Xiao Yanyue, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, who has offended our Minister Xiao again?"
"It's you, the regiment commander, you've offended me." Xiao Yanyue said, "You don't know that our ammunition is tight, so why do you have to give fifty rounds of live ammunition to the new recruits for shooting training?"
This was indeed specially approved by Xu Rui. After completing the training of the recruit company, all recruits will have the opportunity to participate in a live-fire shooting, and each person will have fifty rounds of ammunition! The original intention of Xu Rui's move was to give the recruits an adaptation process so that they would not get stuck in their thinking due to nervousness when they first shoot.
It's okay to get stuck on the training field, but you'll just get a scolding from the instructor.
But if your thinking gets stuck on the battlefield, the consequences will be serious.
Therefore, Xu Rui decided to give the recruits live ammunition shooting to avoid panic after going to the battlefield.
But this also put pressure on the logistics of the Dameishan Military Division, and ammunition began to run out!
Xiao Yanyue continued to complain: "Captain, do you know how many new recruits the district squads and county brigades from various places have sent to the military divisions in the past few days since you left home?"
Xu Rui asked curiously: "How much?"
"I'll scare you if I tell you." Xiao Yanyue said, "A total of five thousand people!"
"What, five thousand people?!" Xu Rui was really shocked. There were almost 10,000 people in the Dameishan Military Division. Now with the addition of 5,000 people, wouldn't it already be 15,000 people? This is already the size of the first-class division of the National Army's Third Brigade and Ninth Regiment, and the famous Central Military Academy Teaching Corps is only of this size.
Speaking of which, it must be attributed to the country's complete armed echelon construction.
Since the day the Dameishan base area was established, various county brigades and district teams have been established one after another, and each village has also formed its own militia team. After that, wherever the Dameishan base area expanded, the militia armed forces expanded accordingly. Now The Dameishan base area has covered more than a dozen towns and villages at the junction of Guanxian, Puxian and Shanxian counties. A total of five county brigades, dozens of district squads, and more than 100 villager soldiers have been formed. The total number of people exceeds Twenty thousand people!
The Communist Party has a tradition of mobilizing civilian armed forces, and it is also very effective.
These militia armed forces are the source of troops for the regular army. Every once in a while, militia armed forces from various places will transport some of the militiamen who are more actively trained and have a stronger fighting spirit to the regular army. During Xu Rui's absence in Dameishan, it happened to catch up with the regular army. The militia armed forces transported armed personnel to military divisions.
This is also the first time that the militia in the Dameishan base area has sent personnel to the regular army.
As a result, there were five thousand people. This number really shocked Wang Husheng.
"So, the shooting training that you ordered for each recruit to have fifty rounds of live ammunition should be cancelled." Xiao Yanyue said, "Fifty rounds for each recruit. Five thousand people means a total of 250,000 rounds of ammunition. Commander, This is enough to fight a medium-sized battle, so what a pity it would be wasted on the training ground like this?"
However, Xu Rui still holds different opinions on this.
Xu Rui said: "Yanzi, we can't settle the accounts like you do."
Xiao Yanyue said dissatisfied: "Then you can tell me how to calculate it?"
Xu Rui added: "You only know that each recruit fires fifty rounds of live ammunition, and five thousand recruits will waste 250,000 rounds of live ammunition. But you have never thought that if they do not conduct live ammunition training first, these recruits will go to the battlefield. It will only waste more bullets! Not only is it a waste of bullets, these recruits will also face life danger!"
Xiao Yanyue was speechless because she had to admit that Xu Rui was right.
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "And if the recruits are allowed to shoot a dozen live ammunition before going to the battlefield to familiarize themselves with the battlefield environment where bullets are flying, it will help their psychological growth, so that when they go to the battlefield, they will not If you know how to panic but don't panic, you won't waste bullets during the war and your chances of survival will be greater."
Xiao Yanyue was still a little unwilling, and said: "But fifty rounds of live ammunition are too many, ten rounds will be enough."
"Ten rounds of live ammunition are too few, and I can't feel anything at all. Fifty rounds is already the bottom line, and there can't be any less." Xu Rui paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, our arsenal has already been built, hasn't it? , the arsenal is already there, why do you, the logistics minister, still have to worry about ammunition?"
"Don't mention the arsenal to me." Xiao Yanyue said angrily, "I get angry when you mention the arsenal."
"What's going on?" Xu Rui asked in shock, "Why did the Arsenal provoke you? Or did Director Zheng provoke you?"
"It's that Zheng Jiakang." Xiao Yanyue said with a snort, "It has been several months since the arsenal was built, but that Zheng Jiakang not only sent me a bunch of grenades, but also landmines. In addition to grenades and landmines, If nothing else, bullets can’t be reloaded, what kind of arsenal is that?”
After taking a breath, Xiao Yanyue continued to scold: "Also, the quality of the grenades and landmines he sent is terrible. As for the landmines, the last time the Puxian County Brigade ambush the Japanese transport team, from my place I received ten landmines, but the mines exploded and the Japanese fell down. But after a while, the Japanese who were knocked over actually got up again. Nothing happened. Captain Cao complained about me when he came back. , Commander, please tell me, can this mine be called a mine? Just a cannon fire."
"Is there such a thing?" Xu Rui frowned immediately after hearing this. This is no small matter.
In the TV series "Bright Sword", the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao has a classic line: Guarding the Japanese transportation line, are you afraid of running out of ammunition
These words are very domineering, but in the real battlefield behind enemy lines, it is absolutely difficult to support the war by robbing the Japanese transportation lines. After all, the little Japanese is not a fool. He will never take the initiative to rob the specific routes of transporting supplies. Time, let me tell you in advance. Without this information, it would be almost impossible to rob the transport team.
Even if they are lucky enough to catch up, the Japanese transport team will also have armed escorts. If they are not strong enough, they may steal the chicken but lose a handful of rice.
Therefore, consumable items such as 38 caps, crooked handles, and Type 92 heavy machine guns can be captured on the battlefield to support the war, but consumable items such as bullets and grenades can never be obtained through Captures on the battlefield realize war to support war, so we have to build arsenals and produce them ourselves.
The regular army of the Dameishan Military Division has now reached a scale of 15,000 people, and the militia has even exceeded 30,000 people. For such a large force, if it wants to realize the battle to support the war through battlefield seizures, it is no more than It’s a fantasy, so the role of the arsenal is very important.
But now, the Dameishan Arsenal cannot produce bullets, not even reloaded bullets, and the grenades and landmines it produces are of extremely poor quality. The combat effectiveness of the troops must be solved!
"Okay, I understand this." Xu Rui nodded and said, "I will talk to Lao Zheng."
Xiao Yanyue said: "Captain, you must talk to Zheng Jiakang as soon as possible. The war will not wait for anyone."
Xu Rui said: "Then, I will go to the industrial zone to find Lao Zheng now." (To be continued...)
