The casualties of the Ninth Corps made it difficult for Mr. Peng to sleep, and the battle was won, but the casualties were too great.

"Boss, we used to collect grain while fighting in the country before, everyone is used to fighting and rushing, and the warehouse is in front of the way of playing, but this trick is not effective in North Korea, first, the North Korean people are not familiar with us, they don't know who we are, many times we are treated as South Korea's Syngman Rhee's army, the people are afraid that it is too late, let alone any food, besides, even if the North Korean people are willing to help us, it is not too useful, our troops are more and more, However, the total population of the northern part of Korea is less than 10 million, and in addition to the low productivity, most of the young and middle-aged men have joined the KPA, and the rear is dominated by the elderly, women, and children, and there is simply no way to support too many troops. Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi softly analyzed the differences between domestic and foreign to Mr. Peng

"Hehe, I said Lao Hong, do you know a lot about North Korea and our logistics! Why don't you set up a logistics headquarters in our Volunteer Army, and how about you as a minister? ”

Mr. Peng's long voice, which Mr. Peng called Lao Hong, suddenly raised an octave: "Hey, I said Mr. Boss, I'm here to fight in North Korea, not to do logistics, you better find someone else, I can't do this job." ”

Chang Ke, who is called "Lao Hong" by Mr. Peng, is a very remarkable figure, he is the famous General Hong Xuezhi in the People's Liberation Army, and he is also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, and he is Mr. Peng's right-hand man, but he is also the same as many PLA generals, who are accustomed to fighting but not accustomed to logistics, or rather, they think that engaging in logistics is not as enjoyable and energetic as fighting a war.

"They all want to fight, they don't want to engage in logistics, who will do the logistics, or do it, I will do the logistics, and you will command the war, how about it?"

Seeing that General Hong Xuezhi is not interested in logistics. Mr. Peng's words already carried a little bit of a sense of rushing ducks to the shelves.

Hearing this, Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Hehe, boss, are you simply forcing me to go to Liangshan, then there is a reason to let the commander-in-chief go to the deputy commander of logistics to fight, I didn't say it, I was the minister of logistics, but the boss." As you know, I'm understaffed, and if you want me to do logistics, you'll have to find me a few good helpers. ”

Commander Hong Xuezhi agreed to be the logistics minister of the Volunteer Army, and Mr. Peng's face finally showed a smile of relief, the logistics minister is not just anyone can be the minister, in a certain way. Logistics is the key to determining the outcome of a battle, Hong Xuezhi is famous in the army for his wisdom and courage and delicate thinking, is a rare good hand, let Lao Hong be the logistics minister is the result of Mr. Peng's careful consideration, not a whim.

Since the day the People's Liberation Army was founded, logistics has always been a shortcoming of the army, but because it has always fought at home. The troops also have a good tradition of mobilizing the masses, and they have the support of the common people everywhere they go, and the contradiction between war and logistics is not yet prominent, but when we arrive in Korea, we will not be able to do it; first, we have no mass base in Korea, and in addition to the wanton bombing by US planes, the shortcomings of the weak logistics of the volunteer army are suddenly placed in front of everyone. The losses of the Ninth Corps in battle are a clear example of this.

The two large-scale battles with the United ** made the commanders and fighters of the Volunteer Army understand what is three-dimensional warfare and what mechanized troops are, and also made a senior commander, including Mr. Peng, understand the relationship between modern warfare and logistics.

A short conversation between Mr. Peng and Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi decided a major event in the history of the People's Liberation Army -- the Chinese People's Volunteers had a special general logistics department, and perhaps Commander Hong Xuezhi did not expect that he would have been indissolubly linked to the logistics system of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) since then.

Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi agreed to serve as the logistics minister of the Volunteer Army. This made Mr. Peng very happy, but just as Deputy Commander Hong said, it is not enough to have a minister in the logistics department, and he has to find a few capable assistants. Who to look for?

A cold bright moon hung in the sky, the sky was gloomy, and it was going to snow again, the north wind carried fine snow particles on the face numb and crispy pain, although the temperature in the Dayudong area was a little higher than that of the Gaima Plateau, it also dropped to more than 20 degrees under the collar, Mr. Peng and Deputy Commander Hong walked slowly not too far from the headquarters, and the temperature was getting lower and lower.

Mr. Peng was thinking in his mind about what kind of assistant should be assigned to Deputy Commander Hong, and there are many commanders in the PLA who can fight, and they have a lot of them, but there are really few who are very interested in logistics, and it is really difficult to find candidates.

Damn, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find someone, Mr. Peng secretly cursed in his heart, and then continued to think about the problem, suddenly, a figure appeared in Mr. Peng's mind, and gradually this figure became clearer and clearer, so clear that it was as if he could grab this figure with a handful of stretching out.

Mr. Peng, who was walking, slapped his head violently, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Yes, how did I forget this little guy, this guy has a very good way of doing logistics, that's right, it's him." ”

Mr. Peng grabbed Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi, who was walking with him, and hurriedly walked back, saying as he walked: "Lao Hong, I found a helper for you, a helper who is very helpful to you, hahahaha, go, go back with me." ”

The two of them stopped walking, and hurriedly walked back, Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi guessed that Mr. Peng must have remembered an expert who could help him, and he was in a hurry to go back to find someone, who was it? Does he know Lao Hong?

It took only a few minutes for the two of them to return to the Volunteer Army Headquarters converted from an abandoned mine, and Mr. Peng sat on a stool built up from several ammunition boxes, and loudly greeted a combat staff officer to record the telegram:

"Commander of the First Corps, Wang Zhen, where is the independent brigade of your Second Army stationed now? How's it going? ”

The telegram contained only a very brief sentence asking about the independent brigade of the Second Army of the First Corps in Xinjiang.

No one knows what the boss meant by such a telegram to Commander Wang of the First Corps, the First Corps is far away in Xinjiang, and Mr. Peng will not be reluctant to transfer troops from Xinjiang!! Besides, the First Corps has been ordered to be converted into a Reclamation Corps, and the Reclamation Corps, which is far away in the sky, will be transferred to fight in Korea? Even Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi, who had been following him, couldn't figure it out.

Originally, I thought that the boss would always pick a helper for himself in the troops entering the DPRK, although there are not many guys who are interested in logistics, but how can I find someone in the hundreds of thousands of troops, but now it seems that the boss does not want to choose from the hundreds of thousands of troops entering the DPRK, this is to ask for people from the country.

Xinjiang, Shiheziken District.

In accordance with the spirit of the central authorities' instructions, the 1st Corps and the 22nd Corps of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) remained in place in the northwestern part of Xinjiang, and at this moment Commander Wang was recruiting senior cadres for a meeting.

He Bingyan, commander of the First Army, Guo Peng, commander of the Second Army, Wang Enmao, political commissar, Luo Yuan, commander of the Sixth Army, and Chen Haihan, chief of staff, and most of the old men of the First Corps were there.

A confidential person walked in quickly, went straight to Commander Wang, who was presiding over the meeting, and said in a soft voice: "Commander, it's the North Korean front emergency telegram, Mr. Peng is here." ”

The voice of the confidential personnel was not high, but they did not deliberately lower their voices, because the people sitting here were all high-ranking generals of the People's Liberation Army, and the sense of secrecy was very strong, and besides, there was no secret to them.

What does it mean that the telegram came from the front line in North Korea or was signed by Mr. Peng himself? The room was full of people and there was a bang.

"What do you mean? Is Mr. Peng going to transfer our corps to fight on the Korean front? That's great. ”

"What time to go? How much preparation time does the superior give? Our army will be ready in no time. ”

"I've heard that the joint ** are all landlords and old wealth, rich and oily, we can just seize materials to replenish the troops, our army applied, take the first step, and open the way for the whole army."

The meeting of the First Corps to implement various agricultural policies seems to have suddenly changed back to the previous operational meeting, and commanders at all levels are vying for tasks with Commander Wang.

Commander Wang sat there steadily, read the telegram in his hand over and over again, and then gently threw it on the table, with a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Peng's telegram was signed from the Korean front, you can all take a look." ”

The telegram was turned around, and it took several turns in the crowd before it returned to its original table.

The eyes of the people in the room stopped talking, and suddenly, a voice shouted, "What's going on?" Why is Mr. Peng just looking for the independent brigade and not looking for us, could it be that Li Yong's kid gave the boss a ** soup? Commander, I have an opinion, Mr. Peng is too eccentric. The one who spoke was Chen Haihan, the chief of staff of the Sixth Army, who was also Li Yong's old comrade-in-arms and brother.

Chen Haihan's opinion has been affirmed by most people, yes, why is Mr. Peng only looking for an independent brigade, isn't this eccentric?

Commander Wang patted on the table: "It's all quiet, you have all seen Mr. Peng's telegram, I don't know if the old man is eccentric, but it is indeed not your army that the chief is looking for, nor our first corps, but the independent brigade, do you understand?" If you understand it, you will work honestly, and the reclamation of the border is a major policy of the central government, and it will not change, so you should not have any selfish thoughts, continue to hold meetings, and by the way, transfer the telegram from the boss to the 18th Army of Erye. ”
