After watching and listening to his own words. Yang Zhen, who was silent. Guo Bingxun, who knew that he needed a fierce medicine doctor for a serious illness, knew that if he wanted to at least partially adjust Yang Zhen's mentality, he could only take some fierce medicine at the moment. If you watch him toss himself like this, don't say that he can't stand it himself, even others can't stand it.

Guo Bingxun did not slow down his tone because Yang Zhen appeared silent: "Commander, you are the head of the first army, and the whole army is watching you. What problem can you solve by doing this, other than bringing down your own body? Zhang Ting is your lover, and it is true that she is sad at the expense of you. But don't forget, you are still the commander of the Jidong Military Region. ”

"You can't forget that you are still burdened with the historical mission entrusted to you by the country and the nation. The oath we made on the banks of the Ash River after we broke out from Harbin, have you forgotten it? Where is the calm and wise Yang Zhen, who is so sinister in the Devil Bacteria Warfare Base that he can't even see tomorrow at any time? ”

"Commander, we all know your pain and understand your pain of losing your love. Everyone has the same seven emotions and six desires, and ruthlessness may not be a true hero. But the commissar and I hope that you will come out of the shadows as soon as possible and pick yourself up again, instead of numbing yourself with work all day long like now. ”

"You still have a long way to go, and I don't know how long this nationwide war against aggression will last. You look like this, you ask yourself how long can you last? The political commissar and I are not speaking these words today as your colleagues and subordinates, but as your brothers, brothers who share weal and woe. ”

"Even if Xiao Zhang knows underground, she won't feel at ease when she sees you like this. She wouldn't want to see her lover because she had become so uncaring for herself. Even for the sake of Xiao Zhang, you shouldn't be like this. Commander, you're ruining yourself. ”

Guo Bingxun's words made Yang Zhen stunned. After a long silence, he said, "I'm sorry to worry you both." It's not that I can't pull myself together, it's just that as soon as I close my eyes, I think of her. People, when they are alive, they don't know how to cherish them, and when they lose them, they don't know how to regret them. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at Li Yanping, who was looking at him with a worried face, and Guo Bingxun who was helpless, and said, "Old Guo, you are right. If I could see me like this, Zhang Ting would be very painful. Political commissar, Lao Guo, don't worry, I won't go on like this. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's statement, Li Yanping nodded and shook his head, pointed to Yang Zhen's heart and said, "Old Yang, you can't say that you will correct it, but you still keep suppressing yourself in your heart. If that's the case, it's not as good as what you are now. If you can't open the knot in your heart, something big will happen sooner or later. ”

"We can't ask you to completely forget about Zhang Ting, if you want to really do it, then it won't be you. But we hope that you can be right about Zhang Ting, don't let her down, and don't let her live up to her friendship of exchanging your life for your safety. Lao Guo is right, you, including us, still have a long way to go. You, in particular, are the youngest of us. ”

"It's a setback, it's a challenge, but it's also a grind for you. It is up to you whether you can get back on your feet from this setback, completely open your heart, and meet new challenges. Nine times out of ten, if life is unsatisfactory, can everything follow your wishes? ”

Speaking of this, Li Yanping sighed and said: "As a soldier, your perseverance cannot only be reflected on the battlefield. Sooner or later, some things have to be put down, and they are always lingering, which is not good for you and affects the entire army. You didn't notice that in the past two days, the cadres at all levels of the headquarters have been cautious when they see you, and they don't dare to speak loudly on weekdays, and they even avoid you.

"Chai Shirong has complained to me more than once, although you are rarely angry now, the whole person is like a super ice cube, cold and scary. Even if he didn't have to ask you, he would stay away from you. He is like this with a deputy chief of staff, and those staff officers and officers below can be imagined? This state of yours has affected your work. ”

Li Yanping was comforted like a brother, and Yang Zhen, who felt a lot better, raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "Political commissar, I remember your golden and jade good words." Rest assured, I will not bring my feelings to work again. In this way, there are two things that we will study and I will rest when I am done, how about it? ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's assurance, after Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun glanced at each other, Li Yanping looked at the time on the watch and nodded slightly: "Yes, but it can't exceed ten o'clock." It's 7:30 a.m., which means you can only study for two hours at most. When the time comes, whether it is finalized or not, you must rest. In addition, you are not allowed to work more than twelve o'clock a day, except during battles. ”

"Also, let me make one point clear. I asked Xiaohuzi to go to the health department to get you two sleeping pills, and Lao Guo and I will watch you eat it. If you agree to eat it, we will study it, and if you don't agree with it, we will leave immediately. Let you sleep now, you can't fall asleep if your mind is so confused. Take two sleeping pills to help you sleep. ”

Seeing Li Yanping, who had always been very cooperative with his work and had always supported him very much, his attitude was unusually resolute this time, Yang Zhen didn't say anything more, and nodded to show that he understood.

Although Yang Zhen's nod made Li Yanping breathe a sigh of relief. But Li Yanping, who is familiar with Yang Zhen's character and knows that he sometimes has a bit of a sharp personality, as long as this guy's heart knot does not open for a day, I am afraid that what he says today can only be an expedient measure. He is really normal, and he can only wait for him to open his heart knot.

Guo Bingxun is not wrong, heart disease still needs heart medicine after all, and it takes time. Although Li Yanping hopes that this time will come sooner, Li Yanping also knows that according to Yang Zhen's very affectionate character, this time may be very long, and maybe when another girl walks into his heart, his heart knot can really be opened.

Yang Zhen shook his head, returned to his position, took out a document and said to the two people: "This is my adjustment plan for the personnel and equipment of the entire current army, you can take a general look at it first." In addition, the army should be expanded. The base area has expanded, and the area has also become larger, and even if we are temporarily on the defensive, our troops are already very insufficient. ”

Li Yanping took Yang Zhen's plan and read it carefully, handed it to Guo Bingxun and said, "Old Yang, it is indeed imperative for the army to be expanded now. However, if you also consider the actual situation at the moment, according to your plan, there is no shortage of new recruits at present, and the equipment is barely enough, but there is still a shortage of grassroots cadres. ”

"In addition, do you have some cadre adjustment plan? Although Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei made a lot of mistakes this time, they still performed many miraculous feats after all, and the punishment for transferring them from the field troops was a bit heavy. Also, will the transfer of all the brigade commanders and political commissars of the Third Brigade affect the combat effectiveness of the Third Brigade at this time? ”

"This time, your plan reorganizes the field army into two columns and three independent brigades, plus three brigade-level military divisions, a total of nine brigades and eight independent regiments. The fact that we have so many troops at hand, plus the wounded who are now hospitalized, is that it is not only a lack of cadres, but more importantly, the combat effectiveness of the new units is difficult to compare with the original three field brigades, at least in a short period of time. ”

"I see if this organization is compressed, and the column level should not be formed for the time being. In my opinion, it is more appropriate to double the size of the troops, expand the field troops into six brigades, add an independent regiment to each subdivision of the divisional troops, and form a new subdivision in the newly liberated areas.

"The area of our base area has indeed expanded, but have you considered expanding so many troops at once, and the bearing capacity of the base area? After all, the population of the entire Xiajiang River is only more than one million, and it is difficult to afford to feed so many troops. ”

"At present, our troops are equipped with radio stations at the regimental level and wired telephones at the battalion level, and communication is extremely convenient. The previous Anti-Japanese Federation fought separately most of the time, and most of the time it could only rely on the contact of traffic officers, which could not be compared at all. Under such circumstances, will the formation of a column level cause the command structure to be cumbersome and overstaffed? ”

"Also, whether the candidates for the division commander and political commissar of this North Korean Independent Division should be discussed with the headquarters of the First Route Army, and it is not good for us to arbitrarily decide. After all, with the exception of a few people, the personnel of this predetermined independent division, especially the combatants, were mainly from the First Front Army and the Second Front. ”

Li Yanping's voice fell, but Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "Political commissar, except for the establishment, I agree with the commander's opinion. With the expansion of the base areas, it is imperative to set up a command structure. If there is any situation ahead, even if it is very convenient for us to communicate with each other, it will take time to go back and forth. ”

"The situation on the battlefield is so changing that every minute can make or break a battle. A big war may not be fought in a short period of time, but there will certainly be a lot of small-scale friction between the forward troops and the Japanese puppet army. You can't fight at the battalion level and have to be approved by the headquarters. The current establishment of the troops is no longer suited to the current situation, so it is imperative to set up a new command structure in various areas. ”

"I agree with Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei's handling opinions. It is true that they can fight, and they have made a lot of achievements. However, they have repeatedly violated the operational plan of the headquarters and acted on their own initiative. This wind must not last long. If every commander only cares about the present and acts without looking at the overall situation, is this still called a troop? Isn't that a militia formation? ”

"The first of our three disciplines and eight points of attention is to obey the command. It does not mean suppressing their initiative, but their initiative must be based on the overall situation. Instead of just staring at the little thing in front of you, you don't care about the whole thing. ”

"There are no rules, and an undisciplined army can only be a plate of loose sand. We are not little devils, and we are absolutely not allowed to go down. This kind of atmosphere must be curbed, otherwise all units will come by their own temperament, and how will the headquarters draw up operational plans? They all acted on their own. ”

"The transfer of them to the post of commander of the military division this time is already a lenient punishment. No well-disciplined army in the world would condone such a situation. Moreover, if the combat effectiveness of a unit declines simply because of the transfer of the military and political chiefs, then this unit can only be said to be a rabble. ”

"We are an army, an army of the country and the nation. It is not the private army of that one warlord, and the military and political chiefs at all levels must be uniformly deployed by the headquarters. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun smiled and said to Li Yanping: "Political commissar, you may not understand the expansion of the troops. The commander didn't really want to expand so many troops at once. Four of his brigades in this plan were shelf brigades, that is, similar to the original third regiment of each brigade. ”

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Old Guo, you are also wrong. These four brigades are not in the nature of the original Third Regiment, but a kind of shadow troops, and they do not exist in terms of the number of levels and levels. Military and political chiefs at all levels are also appointed to serve as full-time deputies in other brigades. And this deputy post is not on the roster of brigade leaders, and when it comes to wartime, the additional troops will be a complete formed brigade. ”

"I expanded several divisions into three independent regiments, of which this third regiment was actually prepared for this shadow brigade. In terms of the organization of their divisions, they actually did not exist, and this third regiment was directly under the command of the headquarters. ”

"And didn't you find out? The strength of the remaining two regiments is actually overstaffed, and each company has at least one more platoon in strength according to our prescribed divisional troop structure. These forces, which are the same as those of the 3rd Regiment, are not under the command of the division, but are also directly dispatched by the headquarters. ”

"The purpose of this is first, the main force is doing this, which will help hide our strength and make the Japanese army unable to figure out our true strength. Second, it will contribute to the large-scale expansion of the army in wartime. Third, it has also strengthened the strength of the sub-districts in peacetime and formed an effective deterrent force against the remnants of the enemy and puppet forces in the areas under the jurisdiction of the sub-districts. As for whether the base area can support so many troops, I don't think there is any need to worry too much about it at least for now. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "All our equipment now mainly relies on seizures. The winter clothes that the field army has changed this year do not need to bear in the base area. For local troops, a part of the newly established troops may be allocated by the headquarters. There are a few county brigades left, and I think the local government can still afford it. ”

"The food we captured in Jiamusi, compared with the current daily per capita consumption of the troops, is enough for the expanded troops to use until the middle of next year. The 10,000 tons of grain imported from Jiangbei can be temporarily transferred to the localities in order to alleviate the problem of grain shortage in the localities. ”

"As for meat, eggs, and other non-staple foods, although our production and construction troops have not laid much grain because of the season and the fact that the land has just been reclaimed, they can only maintain their own consumption. However, the raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and vegetables planted were enough for the troops to consume. ”

"Due to seasonal reasons, the main focus of our production and construction troops this year is on the production of non-staple food. Now Chinese cabbage, radish, pumpkin and other vegetables have all been put into storage. Potatoes have been harvested in Wuyun County alone, hundreds of thousands of catties. Although there is still a shortage of pork, the scale of fast-growing poultry farming is indeed large. With the addition of aquatic products, it can basically ensure that the troops have meat for the winter. In other words, at least this year, there will be no increase in the burden on the people. ”

"As for next year, political commissar, there are still large areas of wasteland in the Sanjiang area. We selected from among the rescued laborers who were unfit for combat, as well as some disabled soldiers, and at the same time selected some landless peasants to expand the scale of the production and construction forces. The black soil in the northeast is very rich, and as long as we work hard, I think we will be able to achieve food self-sufficiency by the beginning of next autumn. ”
