    Regarding Guo Bingxun's consolation, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Lao Guo, don't worry, I'm fine. However, although this battle was launched in a hurry, for us, it is necessary. [.Com text]  There is no strategic room for maneuver. When the Japanese and puppet troops are besieged, we will not even have a place to turn around. "

    "You also know that fighting to the death is not my style. Only by looking for fighter planes to annihilate the enemy on the move can we win the greatest victory with the smallest casualties. If the Japanese and puppet troops were compressed into such a small area from Heli to Luobei,  If you can¡¯t even move your butt in space, how can you talk about annihilating enemies in sports?¡±

    "Through this campaign, we have captured the entire territory of Foshan, Luobei, Suibin, Tangyuan, Heli, Fengshan, as well as parts of Wuyun and Suiling. It seems that the area of ??the base area has been expanded, and there is room for maneuver.  But it actually doesn¡¯t fundamentally change our current situation.¡±

    "Now it seems that although the Japanese army has not launched a large-scale siege on me, their strategic intentions are already obvious. They want to compress us into a sparsely populated area west of the Songhua River and east of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains. We will lose soldiers and  The supply of food is weakening our strength little by little."

    "Although these counties are not small in area, except for Tangyuan, which has a slightly larger population, the population of the other larger counties is only 50,000. The population of the smaller Fengshan county is only 30,000. And the northernmost Foshan,  The two counties of Wuyun together have less than 20,000 people, and the agricultural population is even less. In this environment, it is difficult for us to get enough soldiers, not to mention having enough food."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "The size of the army has expanded, but its combat effectiveness has declined. The number of people has increased, and the amount of various supplies required has also increased significantly. As the head of the army, we are under great pressure  Ah. We can't follow the old path of the Anti-Japanese Army, being trapped in the mountains and forests without any means of getting out, and starving ourselves to death."

    "Although we can still maintain supplies for a while now, due to the environment and situation we are in, we must prepare for a rainy day. We cannot wait until we get on the sedan to have our ears pricked. That way, by the time something happens, it will be too late to do anything.  "

    Yang Zhen took a sip of water, moistened his thirsty throat and said: "But Lao Guo, you are right about one thing. We are all a little hot-headed from top to bottom, thinking that if we win a few battles in a row, I will be the best in the world.  First, ignore all the Japanese and puppet troops. This setback can allow them, including us, to cool down their heads that are burning to 40 degrees."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said firmly: "Training, training for all. Not only new recruits need to be trained, but veterans also need to be trained. Now that a month has passed, the bodies of the rescued workers should have generally recovered.  . We need to fully restore the training intensity and system of Qunce Mountain. Use some of the reserve ammunition and practice hard. "

    "The Japanese will not leave us much time. Only by winning the battle can we become stronger and stronger. Only by wiping out the Japanese and puppet troops can we gain more living space for ourselves. And all of this is to  Take strength as the foundation. I have said several times that what we need is not an army made of sand that can only fight against the wind and cannot fight against the wind. "

    "Now our equipment is enough to meet the needs of the troops. Compared with the lack of guns and ammunition of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it is like heaven and earth. With such a good foundation, we cannot train an iron-clad army. You and I,  And those regiment leaders and political commissars, how can they have the face to meet people?¡±

    "Lao Guo, you are good at calligraphy. Tomorrow you will organize the scholars from the Political Department to write a few large characters: sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. Hang one on the training ground of every regiment. Tell the cadres clearly.  , Soldier, your slackness on the training ground today will be repaid with your life on the battlefield tomorrow."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen picked up the phone and directly called Zhang Zhenhua, the political commissar who was temporarily in charge of the logistics department after Peng Dingjie crossed the river with the commander-in-chief.  Ask him to rush to the headquarters with Zhang Ting immediately.

    After recruiting Zhang Zhenhua, Yang Zhen said straight to the point: "Immediately transfer 600,000 rounds of ammunition and allocate 300,000 rounds to each supplementary regiment. The remaining 300,000 rounds will be allocated to each main regiment, and the remaining  100,000 yuan will be allocated to each of the two divisional cadre regiments, with 50,000 yuan each.¡±

    "In addition, you are allocating 300 rounds of mountain and field artillery shells to the artillery regiment. Each regiment's mortars and infantry artillery shells are allocated according to the number of ten rounds per gun. In addition, you are allocating 40,000 Japanese-style hand grenades.  All are allocated to the supplementary regiment, and each recruit is given two."

    Hearing that Yang Zhen actually wanted to allocate such a large amount of ammunition shocked Zhang Zhenhua, who had just made a fortune.  Thinking that there was going to be another big military operation soon, he quickly asked: "Commander, you have allocated so much ammunition this time, are you going to have another one?"Military action?  "

    Regarding Zhang Zhenhua's question, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Within two months, before the Japanese army makes any major moves, the troops will not have any combat missions other than training. These ammunition are all for the training of various troops."

    Yang Zhen¡¯s answer made Zhang Zhenhua stunned. In his opinion, such a large amount of ammunition was almost an astronomical figure. It was enough ammunition for the two main forces of the Anti-Allied Third Route Army to fight for a year, but it was only used for training?  Yang Zhen's generosity felt like a waste after he had stayed in the Anti-Japanese War for too long and was used to living beyond his means and had to rely on diligence and frugality to survive.

    Regarding Zhang Zhenhua's astonished expression, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Is this still a lot? These ammunitions seem to be a large amount, but on average each recruit only has fifteen rounds of ammunition for training. If the veterans do not use their own troops to  Counting the ammunition reserves, the average is less than five rounds. "

    "Comrade, these are already the lowest numbers. You can't let the recruits go to the battlefield without firing a bullet, right? That's not called fighting, it's asking them to die. In that case, we  As a commander, you are committing a crime. Go ahead, if you don¡¯t want to take advantage of your child, how can you train the troops well without using some of your wealth?¡±

    Zhang Zhenhua shook his head and said: "Commander, it's not that I can't bear to part with it. Anyway, I have also been a division political commissar, and I understand what you are saying. It's just that in addition to the ammunition you sent some time ago, this inventory of ammunition  In addition, the Japanese ammunition is now slightly insufficient."

    "The reserve quantity of Type 38 rifle ammunition and machine gun ammunition is still acceptable. Even if they are allocated according to your request, there will still be a slight surplus. However, the 7.7 mm heavy machine gun ammunition used by the Type 92 heavy machine gun is different from the Japanese Type 97 heavy machine gun.  , Type 91 grenades, the reserve quantity can only be maintained at a low number temporarily. "

    "I made some statistics and found that when the army fought a medium-sized battle like Guanmenzuizi Mountain, the amount of ammunition consumed by a regiment was even more than the ammunition consumption of the Anti-Alliance Third Route Army in a year during its heyday.  "

    "Our production capacity is still very limited. In addition to a small number of mortar shells, Japanese mountain field artillery and infantry artillery shells have warheads and primers in stock. However, because of the propellant, priority must be given to reloading infantry ammunition and supporting mortars.  production, so we can only rely on seizures and previous reserves.¡±

    ¡°The reloaded infantry ammunition mainly focuses on rifles, light machine gun ammunition and much-needed submachine gun ammunition, as well as the transformation of Japanese hand grenades.¡±

    "In addition, in order to trial and produce rockets, a large amount of smokeless gunpowder reserves were consumed. Now we have a small amount of smokeless gunpowder on hand. We can only guarantee the largest rifle bullets and light machine gun ammunition required for reloading. For heavy-duty heavy  The progress of machine gun ammunition reloading has been relatively slow.¡±

    "If too much is transferred at once, once there is a big operation, how will the ammunition be replenished? Especially for heavy machine gun ammunition. Once the inventory is depleted, the seized quantity will not be able to meet the demand, which will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops."

    "Besides, we can only modify Japanese-style grenades now, and our own production capacity is extremely limited. Even if we turn on the horsepower to produce, we can only produce more than a thousand pieces every day. The transfer of these 40,000 Japanese-style grenades is almost all that we have today  The stock is half gone.¡±

    Zhang Zhenhua¡¯s worries are not unreasonable. Due to the limitation of raw materials, the military production capacity is still limited to reloading light weapons ammunition, and even some ammunition can only rely on consumption of reserves. So much ammunition was allocated at once.  Training is indeed a bit difficult.

    But as a former political commissar of the Anti-Union Division, Zhang Zhenhua knew that what Yang Zhen said was true.  Sending a unit to the front line that has never even fired a few rounds of live ammunition is almost tantamount to asking them to die.  Ammunition for training needs to be released, but it still needs to be released.  At least the recruits should know how to shoot, so they won't be afraid when they hear the sound of gunshots.

    After quickly weighing the various ammunition reserves in stock and the number of weapons and equipment in the army, Zhang Zhenhua looked at Yang Zhen and gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, Commander. Although the number of Japanese heavy machine gun ammunition is insufficient, the rifle  And the ammunition for the light machine gun is still guaranteed.¡±

    "The ammunition for the many Italian-made rifles and French light and heavy machine guns you picked up in the north is also sufficient. I think so, first of all, all the supplementary regiments will be replaced with Italian-made rifles and French light and heavy machine guns. The Japanese issued now  Collect all weapons and use them as reserves until the new recruits leave the army."

    "These Italian-made rifles were all produced in the 1920s. Although they have been well maintained, they are not rusty and have not been used. After all, they have been produced for more than ten years. Whether it is reliability or other aspects, they are  Already?It cannot be compared with the Type 38 rifles in our inventory that have a maximum production age of less than five years.  "

    "Moreover, no matter how well-maintained the ammunition is, it has a shelf life. The ammunition with the shortest production period was produced before the September 18th Incident, which is at least eight years ago. If we don't use it as soon as possible, according to our current storage  Judging from the method, these ammunition may be in danger of being scrapped. "

    "Although these Italian-made rifles also use 65mm caliber rifle bullets, the bullet length is 52mm. They cannot be used interchangeably with the Type 38 rifle bullets, which are also 6.5mm. The ammunition is  The performance is also not as good as the Tomosaka rifle ammunition used in the Type 38 rifle.¡±

    "If these weapons are used for field troops, and our logistics supply personnel are still inexperienced, if they are used by the wrong person on the battlefield, it will be a big mistake."

    ¡°In my opinion, instead of risking supply chaos caused by using two types of 6.5mm ammunition that are not universal after going to the battlefield, it is better to take out this batch of Italian rifles and use them exclusively for training of new recruits.¡±

    "This batch of Italian-made rifles should not be used on the battlefield unless absolutely necessary. Anyway, the structures of manual rifles are similar. As long as you learn to use one, you will be familiar with other similar weapons."

    "In addition, at the bottom of the cave where weapons are stored, we also found a batch of Austrian Mannlicher rifles produced in 2006 that were not on the list you gave. This rifle is similar to the 7.92mm rifle we currently have in small quantities.  The Czech and Liao-13 rifle ammunition can be used interchangeably, and the product quality is better than that of Italian products, so we will continue to use it as reserve equipment.¡±

    Regarding Zhang Zhenhua's suggestion to replace the current Japanese weapons with the Italian-made rifles and French-made light and heavy machine guns handed over by Ma Chunsheng, Yang Zhen thought about it for a moment, then turned his head and looked at himself slowly  Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "I think it's okay."

    "But as you said, no matter how well maintained these rifles are, they have been produced for more than ten years. It is still unknown how reliable they are. Before issuing them, you need to organize a group of experienced veterans to deal with them.  Conduct a thorough inspection of the approved firearms to ensure that they will not cause any accidents after being issued.¡±

    "The chief of staff and I will also issue a special order for each unit to collect the shell casings and hand them back to the logistics department after firing live ammunition. Including these Italian-made rifle shells, prepare for reloading. Don't we have a large amount on hand?  Do they use the same Berdan primer as the Tomosaka rifle cartridge? "

    Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "Political Commissar Zhang, you are an old comrade. The commander-in-chief and Lao Peng are not here. Now as the political commissar of the Logistics Department, you have to grasp the party and government work. You have a heavy burden.  We must not only ensure the supply of tens of thousands of troops, but also do a good job in the production of arsenals. At the same time, we must take precautions and prepare cotton-padded clothes in advance.¡±

    "There is an old saying: Before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. And now it is not just food and grass, but also ammunition. It is not easy to feed these more than 40,000 troops. You and the comrades in the Logistics Department must work harder. You are also the resistance  Let¡¯s unite the veterans, please don¡¯t let the tragedy of our soldiers freezing to death and starving to death happen again.¡±

    After saying that, Yang Zhen turned to Zhang Ting and said: "Xiao Zhang, you are the organizationally appointed director of the health department of the logistics department. Now I will give you a promotion, and you will also serve as the deputy director of the logistics department. I will go to political commissar Li.  explain."

    "In your daily work, you have to help Lao Zhang take on more responsibilities. In addition to organizing medical staff to treat injured soldiers during training, and at the same time doing a good job in the overall epidemic prevention work of the army. You have to do more for other things.  Grab some."

    "Especially the army's uniforms, production and construction teams, and other aspects that are more suitable for your work, you have to pay more attention. Let Political Commissar Zhang focus on military production, weapons and ammunition distribution, and food supply."

    "Jiangbei has agreed to our request, and a batch of military raw material production lines and a large amount of raw materials will soon arrive. Lao Zhang has a heavy burden now. He must maintain strict confidentiality and organize the reception, transportation and installation work. At the same time,  There are also other aspects of work to do. You must do your best to help Lao Zhang do his job well.¡±
