Chapter 879 The wind and snow are merciless
Commander Peng asked Hu Bin to recruit troops immediately, and he wanted to recruit 60,000 soldiers, because the 20,000 troops in Hu Bin's hands were all veteran troops, and many of the troops who had been on the front line were cadres above squad leaders or even platoon commanders, but in Hu Bin's troops, he was still an ordinary soldier, so it stands to reason that Hu Bin's troops could recruit 60,000 soldiers.
"What, recruitment, why am I recruiting so many soldiers? You said that it was okay to recruit 20,000 troops as a reserve force for the troops, but now you want me to recruit 60,000 troops! After Hu Bin saw Commander Peng's telegram, he was puzzled and didn't know what Commander Peng meant.
"What's the matter with this telegram?" A senior staff officer came to Hu Bin's side and asked.
"I don't know yet, wait, don't go back yet, wait for the political commissar to come back, let's have a party branch meeting to discuss, recruiting so many troops will reduce the combat effectiveness of our troops." Hu Bin didn't know what to do for a while, he thought about recruiting some troops, but not so much.
At this time, Li Nian's political commissar is now rushing to the troops, his procurement convoy has just left Shanxi, there are 100 vehicles, all loaded with coal, before he went to Tangshan, he knew that there was no coal there, so he purchased coal in Shanxi to rush to the troops!
"Political commissar, political commissar, Brother Bin's telegram, let you not be in such a hurry, now our troops are no longer in Tangshan, and Qinhuangdao has already been captured." While they were resting to refill the car, a communications soldier came to the commissar and said to the commissar.
"Conquered Qinhuangdao? When did it happen, why didn't I know at all? Li Nian heard the words of the signal soldier, and immediately took the telegram and read it, and the flashlight that the communication soldier gave him asked him to watch.
"By the way, political commissar, there is also a telegram, which was sent by Brother Monk, a telegram with a clear code, it seems to have been completely typed!" The communication soldier continued, took out the telegram from his bag, and handed it to Li Nian.
"A plain-code telegram sent by a monk? Monk how did he invent the code telegraph? Li Nian stood there, and he also had questions in his heart, and soon, Li Nian finished reading the two telegrams.
"I'm still worried about how the troops will spend tonight, it's such a cold day, there is no coal at all, I didn't expect the division commander to beat Qinhuangdao, the division commander is too boring, now he is enjoying Qinhuangdao, and we are still blowing cold wind outside." After reading the telegram sent by Hu Bin, the political commissar said with a wry smile.
"Now are we going to move on or rest!" At this time, the commander of the transport company in charge of transportation ran over and asked the commissar.
"Continue to move forward, now that our troops have just conquered Qinhuangdao, there must be a lot of things to deal with over there, how can a lazy person like the division commander deal with those things, you still have to wait for me to go over, and the troops have just conquered those places, I want to see what supplies are still missing, and I have to arrange to go outside to procure." Li Nian thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm!" The company commander nodded.
"Political commissar, political commissar, the noodles are ready, come and eat!" In the distance, the warrior who was making instant noodles shouted loudly.
"Good!" Li Nian nodded, put away the telegram, and walked towards the place where the soldiers gathered.
Now many places in the country are still very safe, the devils have been driven out, and the bandits have no soil to survive now, and they have all been exterminated by the troops in Yan'an, so the soldiers dare to make fires in the wild to cook and roast fires.
"It's so cold, it's hot death over there in Southeast Asia, and there's cold death here!" When Li Nian had just arrived next to the fire, a platoon commander tightened his clothes and complained.
"Haha, you guys are good, you have followed our division commander to so many places, many troops in our country, I don't know what the south is like, at least you are in Southeast Asia, and you have eaten a lot of things that we don't have in our country." The political commissar took the soldier with a smile, handed over the lunch box, and said with a smile.
"That's not it, when we were in Shanxi, we talked to the people of other military convoys about foreign affairs, and they were stunned for a while, and when I get old, I also have the capital to brag to my grandson." A veteran next to him said with a smile.
The others also laughed when they heard it, and they were all proud to follow Hu Bin to fight in the south and the north.
Li Nian and the others finished eating, refueled the car with water, and began to continue on the road.
By the next morning, they were already approaching Tangshan, and it was expected that they would definitely be able to reach Qinhuangdao before dark tonight.
And Hu Bin, who was at the headquarters, went to the outside of the headquarters to have a look after he got up.
"Still down?" Hu Bin saw that there was still snow in the sky, and he was a little worried.
"Brother Bin, look at the snow on the ground, it fell last night, and it reached the calf. I think it will be a long time since I look at this day! It's impossible to stop today! A staff officer next to him said to Hu Bin.
"How do you know?" Hu Bin looked back at him and asked.
"I'm from Tangshan." The staff officer looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Oh!" Hu Bin nodded, looked at the sky and began to worry.
"Someone! Send a telegram to the commissar, it's snowing heavily here, the snow is very thick, tell them to drive slowly, if the vehicle can't move forward, send me a telegram, I will send a tank to pick them up and use the tank to open the way! Hu Bin said.
"Yes!" The staff officer went back immediately.
"Brother Bin, the telegram from the Yan'an Headquarters!" At this time, a staff officer took a telegram to Hu Bin and said.
"Oh!" Hu Bin heard it, stood at the door, took the telegram, and read it.
The Yan'an Command sent a telegram to Hu Bin, transferring Ye Xiaohua to Hu Bin's side as chief of staff, Ye Xianteng to Hu Bin's side as deputy division commander, Luo Yuan to see Hu Bin's side as deputy political commissar, and Chen Hang to be here as deputy chief of staff. After the order was issued, the four of them would report to Hu Bin within a week.
"Ha, send a telegram to the headquarters, I welcome them over." When Hu Bin saw the telegram, he laughed.
When these people come, they don't have to think about so many things, they just need to command the war, they are there, and they can still sneak to the front line.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard it and left.
And Hu Bin stood there, still a little worried, he didn't know a lot of things about the winter in the north, such a heavy snow, he didn't know if it would bring disaster to the people, if it was such a heavy rain, Hu Bin knew that there would definitely be a disaster.
"Made, come on, send a telegram to Fang Lei, and ask them to send soldiers to the nearby villages to see if there are any people who need our help!" Hu Bin stood there and scolded, because he really didn't know the situation here, whether such a big snowstorm would overwhelm the people's houses.
"Yes!" When a staff officer inside heard it, he immediately sent a telegram to inform Fang Lei.
Hu Bin stood outside and watched for a while, then returned to the headquarters and took off his coat, now inside the headquarters, the temperature is very high, it can reach 25 degrees, so you can wear a piece of clothing.
After Hu Bin finished washing up in the headquarters, he sat there drinking porridge, and just after eating, a staff officer brought a telegram.
"Report, Fang Lei sent a telegram and found that in several nearby villages, houses have collapsed, and some people have frozen to death." The staff officer said anxiously.
"What?" Hu Bin heard it and stood up directly.
"Send a telegram to Li Qinwei, ordering them to dispatch 3,000 infantry, immediately disperse to other villages, send a telegram to Xiang Feng, dispatch tank troops, open the road, and, also, the transport troops on our side, be ready at any time, wait for orders!" Hu Bin said anxiously.
"Yes!" The staff officer immediately trotted to send a telegram.
"Report, the special regiment reports that the number of houses collapsed is increasing, and now many people are saving themselves, they are looking for food in the collapsed houses, and some are saving people!" A staff officer stood up.
"Let the soldiers of the special regiment immediately devote themselves to saving the people, Made, how can there be such a thing!" Hu Bin stood there, a little overwhelmed and said.
"The main reason is that the snow last night was too big, and the people are estimated to be still asleep, and the house will fall!" The previous staff officer from Tangshan reported to Hu Bin.
"Do you estimate that this heavy snow will really bring such a big disaster?" Hu Bin stared at the staff officer and asked.
"Maybe, it may be bigger than we thought, the snow is still very big outside, and the clouds are very thick, I guess this snow will not stop today!" The staff officer looked at Hu Bin and said a little sadly.
"Okay, I know, listen to the previous report later, once this snow disaster really brings a lot of losses to the people, we will definitely come to the rescue!" Hu Bin stood there and nodded.
"Quick, keep up, keep up, bring your sapper shovels and gloves, quick!" The soldiers of Li Qinwei's infantry brigade, after receiving the order to assemble from Li Qinwei's side, immediately began to assemble, then distributed disaster relief tools, and then according to the map, they rushed to each village.
And when they were in a hurry, they found that the snow outside was very deep, and the field was not like Hu Bin's headquarters, where the snow outside the headquarters would be cleared, but the snow in the field was not cleaned up at all, plus the previous snow, the snow in many places was waist-deep, and it was very difficult for the soldiers to march when they were marching.
"Tamad, when is the tank, at the current speed, even if it is noon, there is no way to get to the village we are going to!" When a company commander was marching, he found that the soldiers were walking very tired and slow, and he scolded in a hurry.
And at this time, more than 100 tanks were driven out of Xiang Feng's tank barracks, and there were 50 tanks left, which were on combat duty and could not be transferred out at all! (To be continued.) )
