    Speaking of military uniforms.  Guo Bingxun pointed at the full set of Japanese military uniforms on his body and said, "Commander, it's time to consider changing the style of the military uniforms. We are wearing this little devil's military uniform only for a temporary need, but after all, it will not last long."  count."

    "We always wear Japs' military uniforms. What do the people think of us? For those who don't know, they think we are Japs. Besides, it also affects the morale of the troops. There are a lot of raw materials for Japs' military uniforms in the warehouse, and there are also  There are more than a dozen sewing machines. I took a look, and I can at least make a single military uniform for each cadre and soldier. Do you think you would consider changing the military uniforms for the soldiers?"

    Regarding Guo Bingxun¡¯s proposal, Yang Zhen thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense.  Military uniform represents the status of a soldier.  It is indeed inappropriate to always wear a Japanese military uniform.  Moreover, the little devil's current military hat looks a bit too ugly.  But the training of the army is extremely tight now. Where can we find the manpower to make enough military uniforms?

    After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen said: "Lao Guo, you are right. Wearing Japanese military uniforms all the time is not a long-term solution. But now that the army training is so intense, it is definitely impossible for each of us to make a uniform. And we also  There was nowhere to find enough tailors to make military uniforms.¡±

    "In this case, Lao Guo, I think there is no need for military uniforms. We will wear the Japanese military uniforms for the time being, but the military caps can be changed. At the same time, a strip with the words Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces printed on the left chest will be added to indicate our identity.  Badges with black characters on a white background. We are making some armbands to indicate the organization and number of the unit, just like the ones you used when you were in the national army. What do you think?"

    "This way we can distinguish ourselves from the Japs without adding too much workload. We don't need to find so many tailors. A few soldiers who can use sewing machines are enough. As for the style of this military cap? I think it is made like this.  The big-brimmed hat is too cumbersome. The boat-shaped hat is not suitable for the head shape of us Chinese people. Why not just make it like this, you see. It is simple and saves trouble."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen took out a pen and paper from the backpack Xiao Huzi carried, and with a few strokes, he sketched out the shape of a military cap.  Yang Zhen naturally doesn't have the ability to be a designer, nor does he have that ability.  However, even though the design is incompetent, plagiarism is still possible.

    The style of the military cap he drew is exactly the style of the military cap of the 65-style military uniform of later generations.  Originally, Yang Zhen planned to directly use the military cap style of the 24th-style military uniforms of the Republic of China currently issued by the Chinese army, because he liked the more classic style of this military cap.  It feels much better looking than those big-brimmed hats and boat-shaped hats.  But for some reason, Yang Zhen had a thought and finally chose the 65-style military cap style.

    Seeing Guo Bingxun carefully looking at the style of the military cap he drew, Yang Zhen said: "Make it first and distribute it to replace the ugly Japanese army cap. As for the cap badge, we will make it when conditions permit in the future."

    To be honest, Guo Bingxun, who has studied abroad for many years in a country known as the country of fashion and is used to seeing the unique military uniforms of Western armies, especially the French army, is not impressed by the extremely simple military cap style outlined by Yang Zhen.  very satisfied.  I always feel that it is too simple, and the round head and round head are really not good-looking.

    But what Yang Zhen said is not wrong. They now have no ability to replace the Japanese skin on their bodies, so they can only temporarily change their military caps to prove that they are not Japanese and puppet soldiers.  Although this military cap is not pretty, it is easy to make and practical.  For the army, what needs to be solved now is the issue of availability, not the issue of whether it looks good or not.

    After the two people decided on the issue of military uniforms, Guo Bingxun hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Commander, do you think it's time for us to award military ranks? I know that the 18th Army does not have military ranks."

    "But military rank is a certificate that shows the rank of a soldier. It is mainly helpful to improve the military's sense of honor and responsibility, strengthen the organizational discipline of the army, facilitate the command and management of the army, and promote the regularization of the army."

    "Wearing military ranks will prevent confusion in command due to the level of positions when troops of different organizations are fighting together. It is impossible for our more than 20,000 troops to all know each other. Once two different, even strangers  The company can coordinate operations when necessary, and can the command relationship be straightened out according to military rank?"

    Regarding Guo Bingxun's request to be awarded a military rank, Yang Zhen thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Let's discuss this issue after a while. I know the benefits of military ranks. But now the boundaries between cadres and soldiers are too clear.  Bad for morale.¡±

    "Especially when the troops have not been tested in battle and the ranks of the troops have not yet been raised. You can't have an army with second-class soldiers making up the majority, right? Besides, we are now implementing a supply system, and the troops do not pay wages. The level of military rank cannot be related to salary.  income-linked??This sense of honor has shrunk a lot.  At the very least, I don¡¯t think there is much difference between the honors brought by a non-commissioned officer being promoted to an officer and a squad leader being promoted to a platoon leader.  "

    "Besides, military ranks are awarded by superiors to subordinates. We can grant military ranks to the troops below, but who will grant our military ranks? According to the number and equipment of our current troops, even according to the standards of the Japanese army, you and I have the most important positions.  At least he¡¯s worthy of becoming a major general.¡±

    "We can't grant ourselves the rank of general, right? Isn't this like putting powder on our own faces? Let's put this issue aside for now. Even if the commander-in-chief grants us the rank, he is our superior, he  Who awarded him the military rank? Let¡¯s discuss this matter after we have established contact with the customs."

    "Military ranks are necessary, but now is not the time. What we need more now is how to obtain abilities that are equivalent to our positions. Without abilities that correspond to our positions, what is the use of being awarded a marshal? We are not still a soldier.  s level?"

    "As for the issue you mentioned about improving the sense of honor and responsibility of soldiers, I think as long as our political and ideological work is in place, coupled with appropriate incentives, I don't think there will be any problems because of the lack of military ranks."

    After hearing Yang Zhen's explanation, Guo Bingxun thought about it and found that it was ridiculous to award himself the rank of major general, so he smiled and said: "I was a little too radical. I only thought of the benefits of the military rank system, but did not think of our current situation.  Let¡¯s deal with this matter as you said, wait and see.¡±

    Although this conversation was also about work, it was the most relaxed conversation between the two of them these days.  After all, compared with how to make new recruits form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and compared with solving the problem of the availability of urgently needed supplies for the troops, matters such as military uniform style and military rank can only be regarded as trivial matters.  Talking about such trivial things now is tantamount to a kind of relaxation for Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun.

    Just when the two were enjoying a rare moment of relaxation, the correspondent who was responsible for using the captured Japanese garrison code to contact the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiamusi and confuse the Japanese found them and handed over to Guo Bingxun a telegram that had just been deciphered from the Japanese in Jiamusi.  .

    The reason why Yang Zhen handed the telegram to Guo Bingxun as the Chief of Staff first was because Yang Zhen specifically ordered him that all calls from the Japanese army in Jiamusi must be reviewed by the Chief of Staff before replying.  Therefore, he first handed this telegram to Guo Bingxun.

    Guo Bingxun took the telegram and read it carefully, but his frown became tighter and tighter.  After reading it carefully, Guo Bingxun handed the telegram to Yang Zhen and said: "This is a telegram sent by the Japanese army in Jiamusi who is responsible for transporting supplies to the Japanese army here. Commander, please read it first."

    Seeing Guo Bingxun¡¯s solemn expression, Yang Zhen took the telegram and read it carefully.  This telegram clearly told the Japanese garrison here that a powerful anti-Manchu armed force was likely to have entered the Lesser Khingan Mountains on the boundary of Tangyuan, Luobei, Foshan, and Wuyun.

    Because it is too close to the Manchurian-Soviet border, in order to prevent the trains transporting supplies from being exposed.  Supplies are temporarily canceled this month.  If supplies are insufficient, inventory materials can be used.  The usage will be reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters afterwards for further replenishment.

    At the same time, the Japanese army in Jiamusi also sent a telegram to the Japanese garrison here, asking them to step up their vigilance.  If Manchus appear near the cordon, they can be shot without warning.  The suppression force led by Lieutenant General Sasaki Daichi has arrived in the Jiamusi area and is preparing to launch a large-scale sweep operation in the mountainous forest areas of Tangyuan and Luobei after five days of rest.

    The telegram also ordered the Japanese garrison here to allocate a squadron of troops and all trucks to be ready at all times.  In order to serve as a mobile force, when necessary, cooperate with Sasaki to No. 1 Lieutenant Commander to clear the mountainous area in the northwest of Tangyuan, especially the mountainous area bordering Luobei.  In addition to these, the Japanese army was also ordered to be ready to provide material support for Sasaki's troops as soon as they entered the mountains to clear up the mountains.

    After carefully reading the telegram, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said to Guo Bingxun: "This is not necessarily bad news for us. First of all, it shows that our deception operation during this period has been successful. Whether it is  Neither Jiamusi nor the Kwantung Army Headquarters suspected that anything unusual had occurred here."

    "Second, it allows us to have a detailed understanding of the enemy's situation that we need to master most now. Although the strength and route of the Japanese army entering the mountain are still unclear. But at last we are no longer blind. With this telegram, at least Sasaki has arrived.  There is nothing left to keep secret about One¡¯s whereabouts from us.¡±

    "The only disadvantage is that once the Japanese troops entering the mountain need supplies here, our whereabouts will be exposed. Of all the people here, except Zhang Ting and I who understand Japanese, no one else can handle the situation."

    "And once the Japanese army enters the mountains to conduct a dragnet-like investigation, the materials we have hidden willThe location of the arsenal may be exposed.  This is the worst side for us.  Once these materials are lost, although it may not bring catastrophe, it will always bring us some inconvenience.  "

    Having said this, Yang Zhen thought for a while and said: "I think we should remain unchanged in response to all changes. After the Japanese army entered the mountains, we sent out a reconnaissance battalion to find out their specific action routes and troop deployment. Deploy two  The main regiment should be ready for battle and support at any time. The remaining troops staying here should also be ready for battle to deal with the most dangerous situation."

    Regarding Yang Zhen's idea, Guo Bingxun pondered for a moment and then nodded: "I think it's okay. Although the reconnaissance camp is still far from the commander's requirements. But at least the commander has completed the study of the reconnaissance subjects. Although it is still a bit immature.  , but it¡¯s time to give them a chance to perform.¡±

    "In addition, Commander, can we take advantage of the time difference before the Japanese army enters the mountain to have the artillery immediately start live ammunition training and infantry-artillery coordination training? After the Japanese army enters the mountain, the sound of artillery can easily cause the Japanese army to attack  Attention here.¡±

    "In military operations, when most of the troops have not completed their training, with the support of artillery fire, our casualties can be greatly reduced. However, although our artillery is trained more intensively these days, it is higher than that of the infantry."

    "But it was only the most basic training like the infantry. Almost no recruits had participated in this live-fire training. For the artillery, which now also has recruits accounting for the majority of the force, many of them are the first artillerymen to enter the battlefield.  It¡¯s not a good thing to go up and fight.¡±

    "Also, Commander, is it time to straighten out the organization of the troops? Is it time to make further adjustments to the structure of the troops, including the firepower configuration? After the adjustments are completed, the troops can use the last five days to complete the mission as soon as possible.  Get into your role. Prepare yourself for the battle we¡¯re about to face?¡±

    Regarding Guo Bingxun's two suggestions, Yang Zhenshen said with approval: "Okay, we will convene a meeting with the commander-in-chief, political commissar and several regiment leaders to finalize this matter. The establishment has not been decided long ago, just because  The new recruits have not yet completed training, so no corrections have been made. We will finalize him in a while. The final adjustments to the organization will be completed before evening. "

    "For Yang Zhen, who was so busy that he could hardly move at all, that he had the time to call a few of his people together for a meeting, both the commander-in-chief and Li Yanping knew that there must have been some change in the situation.  Otherwise, Yang Zhengen, who is focused on recruit training, would not have the time to hold any meetings now.

    After reading the call from the Japanese army sent by Yang Zhen, the commander-in-chief was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that our peaceful days for this month have come to an end, and we should be ready to fight. Deputy commander-in-chief, you are the chief officer of the battle.  ,What is your opinion?"

    Although the commander-in-chief verbally appointed Yang Zhen as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, he rarely treated Yang Zhen in a manner commensurate with his position most of the time.  Most of the time, they still call each other very affectionately.  The commander-in-chief suddenly behaved in a rare manner today, indicating that he also saw the seriousness of the situation.

    Yang Zhen didn¡¯t pay attention to the change in the title of Commander-in-Chief.  He could clearly tell from the heavy tone of the commander-in-chief that the commander-in-chief attached great importance to this piece of information that could be said to be obtained by accident.

    After Yang Zhen gave the commander-in-chief a reassuring look, he told him the countermeasures he had discussed with Guo Bingxun.  After explaining his countermeasures, Yang Zhen added: "No matter where we retreat now, it will be difficult to conceal our whereabouts."

    "Now that the troops are still some distance away from fully forming their combat capabilities. And the enemy's situation has not yet been fully understood. In addition to sending out reconnaissance battalions to find out the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops, as for the main force, the Chief of Staff and I discussed  Opinion is to remain unchanged in response to all changes.¡±

    "We have sufficient supplies here and good defensive positions that we can rely on. Why should we give up on our own initiative? Although it is very close to the Japanese Fourth Division in Jiamusi, for us, it is not without the ability to fight.  .¡±

    "The reason why we are hiding here now is not because we are timid, nor is it to avoid the Japanese attack and preserve our own strength. The reason why we are hiding here is to fight the Japanese better and eliminate more Japanese in the future. "

    "Now for us, what we need to do most is to make final adjustments to the organization and firepower configuration. Conduct artillery live ammunition training, and use the five days before Sasaki arrives to enter the mountain to conduct some infantry and artillery collaborative training.  In case the infantry and artillery coordination becomes unfamiliar, the number of shells falling on our own people's heads will be much greater than that of the Japanese troops."
