Zhang Wei slept for a long time, he slept for a whole day and a night, and when he woke up, it was already early the day after tomorrow, Zhang Wei struggled to get up from the bed, his stomach was very hungry, his body was slimy, and he slept all over sweat.

The military uniform had not been changed, and the dirty hardness was mixed with the sweat produced when he slept, sticking to Zhang Wei's skin. After a good night's sleep, Zhang Wei's spirit was much better, after all, he slept for a day and a night, pushed open the door, and saw the herald guarding the door.

"Battalion commander!" The herald saluted Zhang Wei and seemed to have been guarding the door. Zhang Wei patted the herald on the shoulder, squinting his eyes, the sunlight outside was a little dazzling.

"Good work!" "The brothers take turns guarding it, which is not a hard work." The herald said again. Zhang Wei looked at the camp behind him, there were few people except the guards outside the tent and wooden barracks, and the soldiers should also be resting.

Zhang Wei rested for more than a day, except for the basic vigilance, the preparation camp did not engage in training, and the soldiers all rested in the camp and were allowed to move freely in the camp, but the camp was so big that the soldiers basically chose to sleep and rest in the tents and barracks.

"Okay, you guys don't look at this, I want to take a shower, you go get some water." Zhang Wei ripped off his dirty clothes.

Zhang Wei was itching all over his body, he was now covered in stinky sweat, with the help of the herald, he went to find a large gasoline can, moved into Zhang Wei's house, and asked the cooking team to boil several pots of boiling water, take a bath, and it took more than half an hour to toss his body clean.

After taking a bath, Zhang Wei finally got both mental and physical pleasure, and just now he felt like a layer of armor on his skin.

The original military uniform was unusable, Zhang Wei handed over the riding boots to the herald to clean up, and put on a new set of officer's cloth to make combat uniforms, and the whole person took on a new look.

Zhang Wei took a bath and changed clothes, and then the herald brought the meal made by the cooking squad with supplies, and ate a big meal.

Full of wine and food, Zhang Wei asked Qiu Wei to come over.

Qiu Wei heard that Zhang Wei woke up, and quickly rushed over, the three company commanders saw Zhang Wei fall asleep before, and they were originally a little worried, but now seeing Zhang Wei standing in front of him with a new look and full of energy, Qiu Wei is no longer worried.

"Qiu Wei, have you finished counting the number of heads and equipment in the battalion?" Zhang Wei asked.

Qiu Wei nodded and took out a folder: "The current number of the three infantry companies and the heavy machine gun company, the casualties, and the situation of equipment and ammunition have all been counted, and they are summarized here." ”

"Good!" Zhang Wei motioned for Qiu Wei to sit down and took the folder.

When Zhang Wei was away, the three company commanders counted the current situation of each company, registered it, and reported the current situation to Zhang Wei.

According to the above figures, the first company has 104 men, the second company has 94 men, the third company has 93 men, the heavy machine gun company has 128 men, and the total number of combat and non-combat soldiers in the whole battalion is 419 people, of which the first company has a large number of people and can barely maintain the strength of three platoons, only two platoons of the second and third companies are fully staffed, and the other platoon is in a state of incompleteness.

Before the battle of Xinzhuang, although the preparatory battalion replenished a group of routs, but the subsequent battle of Xinzhuang suffered many casualties, and the number of soldiers in each company dropped again, only the heavy machine gun company, because there were few combat soldiers, most of them did not need to go to the front-line position, so they have maintained a high level of troops.

In terms of weapons, the first company still has 78 79 rifles, 4 79 Hanyang-made rifles, 6 Soviet-style turntable light machine guns, the second company has 67 79 Zhongzheng rifles, 2 79 Hanyang-made rifles, three Soviet-style turntable light machine guns, and one Czech-style light machine gun, the third company has 60 79 Zhongzheng rifles, 6 79-made Belgian-made rifles, two Soviet-style turntable light machine guns, and four Soviet-style M1910 heavy machine guns left in the heavy machine gun company.

The loss of weapons in the preparation battalion is not small, and the normal of each company should be nine light machine guns, but now they are not in the same position, all of them are caused by combat attrition, and there are also 79 Hanyang-made rifles and Czech light machine guns brought by the routs in the battalion, and the models are a little complicated, and they are all 79 caliber bullets, and the overall situation is not optimistic, and the weapon losses are serious.

"Battalion commander, we have a lot of losses this time, the defeated troops that were captured and replenished in Xinyang, Xinzhuang lost more than half of the battle, my first company is fine, the second company and the third company have a platoon that is half-empty, after fighting Xinzhuang, it is back to the state before the replenishment of the rout." Qiu Wei sat on the marching chair and said with a sad face.

"Gotta add it quickly!" Zhang Wei snapped the folder shut and tossed it aside. "I can't replenish it in the past two days."

"What? Didn't add? Qiu Wei asked.

"Yes, I just came back from the division headquarters, and the division seat personally said that weapons and equipment and recruits are given priority to supplement the various combat units under it, and the troops directly under the division must be raised after a while, and the priority is to be placed in the back row." Zhang Wei said.

"Our 200 divisions, the troops below have already been built, it stands to reason that the gap in weapons is not big, why don't you replenish our small preparation battalion?" Qiu Wei asked.

Zhang Wei smiled: "When I reported to the division seat, I heard a little tired, and our army still needs to be expanded." ”

"Still expanding?" Qiu Wei had a surprised expression.

"There are more than 20,000 people in our division now, and if it is expanded, it will be seriously overstaffed!"

"Expansion, it must be getting richer and richer, and the replenishment of our battalion is not bad for these two days, and it is nothing late for a few days." Zhang Wei said with a smug expression, after the 200 divisions are expanded into an army, they will inevitably get more resources to invest, and when the time comes, can they send him a supplement to this battalion?

"This week is for the brothers to relax and relax, and there is no need to train in each company, just don't run away when you see people, and rest and recuperate.

Qiu Wei nodded and came to Zhang Wei's side again.

"Battalion commander, that guy He Kun put away all the captured Japanese things, and He Kun and I didn't write them down when we counted them, what should I do with these things?"

The preparatory battalion seized a lot of Japanese weapons and equipment in the Battle of Lanfeng, as well as the property that was found, Zhang Wei asked He Kun to put it away, and today the strength of the whole battalion was counted, and the problem of these things was revealed, and the loot and captured property were not guarded by special people, and He Kun was sent from the combat unit of the first company to take care of them.

These soldiers not only have to do their jobs well, but also have to take care of the captured materials, which is very inconvenient to manage, and the captured things are not a small amount, and after a long time, something may go wrong.

Today, when Qiu Wei checked the strength of the whole battalion, He Kun specially asked Qiu Wei, and Qiu Wei relayed it to Zhang Wei and asked how to deal with these things.

"I understand, these things are indeed a bit hot, you don't want He Kun to transfer people, you have a platoon, you don't have to do anything else, without my order, let this platoon guard these captured things for me, you must watch it before you shoot!"

"Yes!"
