"Commander, are we really just giving up this opportunity in front of us? As soon as Zhou Baozhong's words fell, Master Li Yuanqing asked anxiously.

"Don't say any more, don't you understand what the commander means. Now is not the time for us to completely annihilate the 27th Division of the Japanese Army. Do you want to use the 27th Division of the Japanese Army to leave thousands of ghost lives, and attract the crazy revenge of the Kwantung Army against our base area? It's better for the commander to think thoughtfully, otherwise, the two of us would have run into a big disaster. This matter will stop here. Now, let's discuss how we should complete the task given to us by Commander J tonight with X casualties. Zhou Baozhong glanced at Li Yuanqing in front of him fiercely, and said affirmatively.

"Yes, Commander... Be sure to exchange x casualties for a big victory. ”

Next, with Baishan County as the center, all the Japanese puppet army strongholds around the base area were attacked one after another under the full attack of the three main divisions of the fifth column, like autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

In less than two days, the thousands of Japanese puppet troops defending these strongholds once again became the battle feats in the hands of the soldiers. And all the Japanese puppet army forces north of the entire base area, except for the more than 10,000 people who cowered in Baishan County, the remaining Japanese puppet army strongholds, without exception, were all wiped out.

It has been almost a full week since the end of the series of battles in the Distance Zone around the food grab. As the various combat units returned to their stations one after another, as usual, after the training began. In the entire base area, all commanders at and above the division level gathered in Shienling, in the conference room of the high headquarters of the base area. A week-long summary of the campaign was held, as well as the next direction of the base area.

"Comrades, a week of fighting, the victory is over. This victory was the first victory won by our army in taking the initiative to attack since its reorganization. For this result we have achieved, our commanders can be said to have contributed a lot. As for the specific results achieved by the troops, I will not report them to you one by one here, and you are very clear in your hearts. Today, the main topic of the meeting is to discuss the gains and losses of this campaign, the direction of the base areas, and the strategic direction in the coming months. Now, I would like to invite our commander to give you a speech..."Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu's surging opening elicited warm applause from everyone. The whole meeting also kicked off with the words of Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu.

On the basis of the great victory achieved by the troops, the discussion of the whole meeting was extremely lively. After several hours of intense discussions, a resolution on the direction of the base area in the next few months appeared in the hands of Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu.

Looking at the resolution that had just been sorted out in his hand, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu nodded with satisfaction. After signaling everyone to be quiet. Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu stood up from his seat and spoke under the gaze of everyone.

"Comrades, so far, the whole meeting has come to an end. Next, I will read it out to you, after everyone has discussed this meeting. Specific resolutions formed:

resolution of Article 1, within the next month. The various units in the base area are forbidden to carry out sorties of any significance and combat matters against the enemy without the order of the headquarters. All units must strengthen the training of their troops in various tactics in light of the various problems that have been exposed in the course of this battle. A month later, the headquarters will hold an all-army contest in Shienling. Each main force regiment shall be randomly selected by the base headquarters to take a main force company to participate. As for the winning team, they will be awarded the title of 'Tiger Regiment' by the commander himself.

Article 2 of the resolution: All organs of the logistics offices of the base areas and the agricultural reclamation corps of the base areas must seize the time to cultivate all the land reclaimed in the coming period. All farmers must ensure that in the autumn harvest season. In addition to ensuring the ration supply of the entire agricultural reclamation corps, it is also necessary to ensure that all the main forces in the base area have half a year's worth of military rations. At the same time, the logistics department must carry out a unified improvement of all organs of the logistics department within one month. ..., the specific requirements are as follows: the logistics department, with the cooperation of the special operations division, after a month, must ensure: the ability to reload the ammunition, the production of various types of mines, the production of firearms, the production of grenades.

As for non-combat troops, the battalion columns, and the peasant reclamation corps, it is necessary to ensure that the proportion is more than one-tenth. We will build the whole army into a real army, a force that has always been truly led by the party.

Article 4 of the resolution strengthens the construction of the intelligence department of the base area. The base area allocated 200,000 oceans of military spending to strengthen the construction of the Ministry of Intelligence.

It is ensured that our army will be able to understand the movement and change of guard of Japanese troops at all levels in the three northeastern provinces at the first time.

Assist and organize the people in the base area to carry out production and self-help, and build our base area into a self-sufficient, iron-bucket base area......"

The entire resolution took half an hour and was read by Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu.

With the latter resolution, it spit out in the mouth of Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu. The entire conference room immediately burst into warm applause. The entire conference room, the faces of all the participants, showed excited smiles. It can be seen that the degree of support for these resolutions by these senior commanders has reached an unrivaled level.

At Liu Hua's signal, the warm applause slowly stopped. Just when everyone's eyes were all focused on Liu Hua. Commander Liu Hua then spoke.

"Comrades, this resolution was made by all of us. Therefore, I hope that in the next month, the ministries will be able to fully comply with this resolution. I believe that as long as everyone makes concerted efforts, we will continue to follow this resolution. Our base area, in the near future, will certainly become a headache for the Japanese army. And our troops will also become a real iron army, with combat effectiveness no less than that of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Well, everything that needs to be said has been said. Now I command, adjournment. ”

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. After a month of intense training, the long-awaited martial arts competition of tens of thousands of troops and every commander and fighter in the entire base area slowly kicked off with the arrival of time. After a month of training, the fifth column, three main divisions, nine main regiments, and more than 20,000 soldiers. Almost everyone is holding their breath, wanting to give their opponents a good dismount in the arena. Show the results of your month's training...

Nine main regiments, nine infantry companies that were personally transferred out by Commander Liu Hua. Nine neat infantry phalanxes were presented, standing motionless on the large training ground in the base area, receiving everyone's review.

And directly opposite the nine infantry phalanxes, on a wide rostrum, the entire base area, with Commander Liu Hua all the divisional and above commanders. Commander Liu Hua sat neatly on the stool, looking at the infantry phalanx in front of him with a serious face, and pointing at his comrades around him from time to time.

As the time approached minute by minute, Liu Xgang, the commander of the special operations division, who was the commander-in-chief of the entire martial arts competition, walked to the front of the rostrum. Then he saluted and shouted loudly: "Report to the commander." All participating units, already ready, ask the commander for instructions. ”…,

Looking at the infantry phalanx in front of him that was motionless and full of murderous aura, Liu Hua stood up from his seat and nodded with satisfaction. Then, facing Liu Xgang in front of him, he returned the salute and replied, "Very good." Now I declare that the whole tournament begins now. All departments have made persistent efforts to achieve their own ideal results. ”

Under the supervision and guidance of a full 1,000 special combat members of the special operations division, the nine infantry companies began their own martial arts competitions. Rifle shè shot, machine gun shè shot, air defense drills, grenade throwing, cross-country training, air defense drills ... One event after another, began to appear in front of the fighters.

The flying competition items dazzled the fighters who participated in the competition. At the same time, it also dazzled all the commanders at all levels who watched the battle. However, after a month of high-intensity training, there was no fear in the face of the many competitions in front of me. Instead, with a solid foundation, I try to participate in every project as much as possible.

A day has passed. After a day of fighting, all competitions, except for the latter actual combat drill, have been completed. On the rostrum, under the expectant gaze of a group of commanders, Liu Xgang, the direct commander of the entire event, appeared in everyone's eyes with a report card.

"Commander, here... Master Liu came over with everyone's achievements. Looking at Liu Xgang, who walked towards the rostrum. Yang Jingyu, the deputy commander sitting next to Liu Hua, reminded in a loud voice.

And as Yang Jingyu's words just fell, almost everyone on the rostrum showed a trace of hot gaze in their eyes. Then, all these eyes converged on the body of Commander Liu Xgang. After all, his subordinates were victorious, and he, as his division commander, also had a light on his face. As a result, the eyes of the three division commanders and the three political commissars almost followed the figure of Liu Xgang, the commander of the special operations division, and moved.

"Our Master Liu is here. Division Commander Liu, tell the big guys, which regiment achieved the best results in the one-day competition. Don't you know that these division commanders and political commissars sitting around me are all looking at you with blank eyes, eager to swallow you in one bite? As soon as Liu X stepped onto the rostrum, he just stood in front of Liu Hua. Commander Liu Hua said with a smile on his face.

"Report to the commander, today, we have a total of eight events. After statistics, the six companies belonging to the 37th Regiment of the 13th Division temporarily achieved the first place with a total score of 71 points. The third company of the 4th Regiment of the 14th Division scored a total score of 68 points, occupying second place. The 45th Regiment of the 15th Division, with a total score of 67 points, ranked third. The three companies can be said to be indistinguishable from top to bottom, and only through tomorrow's actual combat training can they see at a glance. Under everyone's gaze, Liu Xgang spoke.

"Hehe, congratulations to the three division commanders. Of your three main divisions, one occupies a position. However, the results of the three companies are not much different now, and only through tomorrow's real swords and guns can we see the last one. Well, now I order, today's game is officially over. Tomorrow, we will have the last real combat exercise. Seeing the three division commanders, I breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Liu Hua ordered with a smile.

"Yes, Commander, I'll go and announce the order right away..."Liu Xgang replied affirmatively, turned around and rushed towards the competition venue not far away...

The second day's game can be shown to have attracted the attention of everyone in the entire base area. Early in the morning, the huge training venue was crowded with onlookers. After yesterday's round of elimination, the four selected companies, under the gaze of everyone, walked into the arena and started the whole game, an important event, a real combat confrontation drill...

Facing the position defended by a special adhesion company of the special operations division, the four main companies took turns to attack the position in front of them. In the end, the final score is judged according to the results achieved by the troops and the casualties paid. ..., as the so-called offensive and defensive drills, there is an attack, of course, there will be a defense. As soon as the morning event ended, the afternoon battle began. However, at this moment, the special operations division and its own tasks have completely been rotated. Four main companies, each defending a hill. As for the special operations divisions, each sent a special operations company to attack. The final judgment is based on the time the troops have been defending and the number of enemies killed.

With the sound of the last gunshot, it sounded on the training ground, and the two-day martial arts competition ended smoothly. The nine main companies and nine infantry phalanxes once again stood in front of the rostrum with solemn faces, waiting for the results of the competition.

Commander Liu Hua, under the gaze of more than 1,000 commanders and fighters, stood in front of everyone: "Comrades, the two-day martial arts competition is over. Here, I don't want to say anything more. If you lose, I hope you will continue to strengthen your training after you go back. Strive to achieve good results in the next martial arts competition. Of course, those who win should not be proud, and should strengthen their training to maintain this achievement. Because, in the next martial arts competition, your good results may be replaced by others at any time. Now I order the commander of the 6th Company of the 37th Regiment of the 13th Division to come out of the ranks. ”

"Report chief, Li Guowen, commander of the sixth company of the 37th Regiment of the 13th Division, reports." As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, a fierce commander stood up from the queue. He saluted the commander Liu Hua in front of him and replied loudly.

"Company Commander Li, comrades, now I announce: the first place in this competition is the 6th Company of the 37th Regiment of our 13th Division. According to the pre-competition regulations, whoever won the first place, the field army command, would be awarded the banner of avoiding the 'Tiger Regiment'. Company Commander Li, come over to pick up the flag. Liu Hua said.

With a red flag with the three big characters of 'Tiger Regiment' written on it, it appeared in the hands of Commander Liu Hua. Company Commander Li Guowen could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart and strode over. With a pair of hands that were almost trembling, he took over the military flag in the hands of Commander Liu Hua. Then, in front of everyone around, he gave a solemn military salute.

Looking at Li Guowen's hand, the side fluttering in the wind, writing the red flag of the three big characters of the Tiger Regiment. All the commanders and fighters of the Liuliu Company who won the first place were all enthusiastic. In the hands of the company commander, the military flag representing honor, raised his hand, and saluted, which was used to express the excitement in his heart at this moment.

And the remaining eight companies, including those division commanders, looked at the military flag in the hands of Li Guowen, the commander of the sixth company, with red eyes. Looking at the entire venue, everyone with different performances, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction. Facing the venue, he continued.

"Comrades, it's still what I just said, win, don't be proud, continue training. If you lose, don't play chess, strengthen training, strive for the next game, and win this military flag that represents honor into your own hands. Here, I would like to announce one thing to you, Li Guowen holds this Tiger Regiment flag in his hand, which does not mean that this military flag will belong to our 37th Regiment in the future. ”

Seeing everyone's faces, all of them showing doubts, Liu Hua continued to announce: "From now on, our field army, every other month, will hold a martial arts competition within the whole army. Whoever wins, this military flag, will follow whoever has a month's time. Therefore, Comrade Li Guowen, whether this military flag can be guaranteed to remain in your 37th Regiment depends on whether your 37th Regiment can make persistent efforts and still win the first place in the next martial arts competition. And other comrades, as long as you work hard, maybe in the next martial arts competition, this military flag symbolizing honor will be in your hands. Comrades, tell me whether you have the confidence to bring this military flag back to your troops in the next martial arts competition. Liu Hua shouted loudly.
