In response to Yang Zhen's warnings, Du Kaishan said with a smile: "One zero one, you don't need to go there yourself to check the terrain carefully. I had already thought of this beforehand. When I was in the 3rd Brigade, wasn't there a director of the regimental administration department who was the adjutant of the original commander-in-chief? When I was transferred to the 4th Division, I specifically asked the political commissar to transfer him to the 4th Division. ”

"The western mountainous area of Baoqing is the rear base of the former Second Route Army, and the headquarters of the Second Route Army and the former Jidong Provincial Party Committee have been stationed here all year round. He is very familiar with this place with perennial activities in Baoqing, Mishan, Boli and Raohe. It was for this reason that I specially asked him to be the political commissar of the regiment. I just want to use these strengths of his to familiarize the troops with the combat area as soon as possible."

"The first thing I did after I took office was to ask him not to do anything for the time being, and gave him a month to take my training section chief and a surveying and mapping staff officer to re-survey and correct the maps of the captured Japanese issued by the headquarters. If you are not familiar with your own combat area, how can you just rely on the map? Not to mention the captured maps of the Japanese army. ”

"In order to ensure that the mapped map is detailed and accurate, I asked him to find an old relationship with the Baoqing County Party Committee, and found a few old hunters who have been wandering around the mountains in this area all the year round to cooperate with him, and carefully walked through the mountainous areas here. Now they are still surveying the first line of Dajianzi Mountain at the northern foot of Lanbang Mountain. ”

"When the map of this area is re-verified, we will be able to re-approve it. If I have the opportunity, I am going to let them infiltrate the south bank of the Uken River, and re-survey the terrain of the old black back, Da Lizi, and Qiliga Mountains there. The little devils are now tightly blocking our army, but this place is crisscrossed with the mountains of Mishan and Boli, how can they block it if they want to? There are a lot of loopholes to exploit. ”

"One hundred and one, you can rest assured that I will have half a month at most, and I promise to hand you a detailed map of the mountainous area in the western part of Baoqing and the area under the control of our military in Boli. In two months, I will send back to Headquarters a detailed map of all the four districts from Rao River in the east to Boli in the west. ”

After reporting his preparations after arriving at the Fourth Division, Du Kaishan was a little proud of his foresight. The fact that he has thought about all the work that the commander has to do shows that his thinking and concepts have risen to a new level. Although I dare not compare with the commander and the chief of staff, I still have some advantages compared with others.

Seeing Du Kaishan's somewhat complacent look, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and ignored him. Since what he wants to do has already been done for him, it is rare for him to have a few days of free time, so he should also go to the training site of the fourth division to see how Du Kaishan's training is doing.

The reason why he kept his arrival secret before was that he didn't want to see someone cheating, and when he knew that he was coming, he would make some showmanship to fool himself. Du Kaishan will not fool himself, Yang Zhen believes this, but the people below will not fool himself in order to pursue results, or if they want to show themselves in front of themselves, Yang Zhen does not believe it.

Seeing that the commander didn't take care of himself, he turned around and went down the mountain silently, and touched Du Kaishan, who had a soft and gray nose, but he didn't care. For Yang Zhen's arrival, Du Kaishan did not feel surprised, and he had already prepared in his heart.

Although the 4th Division was newly established, its position was quite important, and three-quarters of the Japanese troops confronting the Military Region were on the opposite side of the 4th Division. If the four divisions are unable to form combat effectiveness for a long time, the flanks of the entire military region will be quite dangerous. Since the location is so important, it would really be an accident if the commander did not come.

And for his own training methods, Du Kaishan is still very confident. Although most of the two regiments were newly formed and the number of recruits was somewhat larger, after more than 20 days of hard training, although there was no way to compare the combat effectiveness with the old units due to the relationship of time, it was already a good look.

If it is said that before he came to the Fourth Division, Du Kaishan was somewhat resistant because he was transferred to the military division because he left the field army, and his family changed. However, after taking office, when the troops and equipment of the Fourth Division arrived one after another, he found that this Fourth Division was really not as simple as his former partner said.

First of all, the troops of the three independent regiments that were allocated to the sub-division for the formation of the division, there were seven companies of veterans from the former field army, plus half a regiment of the original basic regiment of the first division, and the number of veterans who participated in the war was nearly one regiment. This is quite rare in the current situation where veterans are lacking.

Not only did the number of veterans transferred over exceed his imagination, but even the platoon commanders of the companies transferred were all recruited before the Battle of Qunce Mountain, and all of them had been trained by the military region's teaching team.

Among these company and platoon commanders who have been transferred, especially the company and platoon cadres of the basic regiment of the first sub-district who have been transferred, there are even many veteran backbones from the Fifth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Among the nine battalion commanders, five were trained by the old black top secret camp, which can be regarded as long-tested. In addition to these seven companies, half a month after the arrival of the recruits, the headquarters also allocated more than 400 veterans who had recovered from their injuries and been discharged from the hospital.

Not only are the backbone cadres carefully selected, but half of the 3,000 recruits who have been transferred are puppet Manchurian soldiers who have completed basic military training under the strict training of the Japanese army and can be pulled into the battlefield as long as they undergo short-term adaptive training. The military technology of the first batch of puppet Manchurian soldiers carefully selected by the Japanese puppets is very solid and the foundation is excellent.

Among the equipment transferred, all French-made eight-millimeter rifles, submachine guns produced by the headquarters arsenal, and French-made light and heavy machine guns were all used. The number of mortars is really distributed according to the main force, there is no Japanese type, all of them are French-made 81-millimeter mortars.

Compared with the French-style equipment produced in the late twenties, the American-made Russian-style rifles produced in the late First World War I that were assigned to the first, second, and two divisions were all similar in performance, but they were produced much earlier than themselves.

Compared with most of the French light and heavy machine guns that were not unboxed and were brand-new, those that were eliminated from Jiangbei for use in the third division were refurbished goods, although they were original German Makqin heavy machine guns. Light machine guns are also all crooked, so there are their own original French-made light and heavy machine guns with good performance?

As for the heavy machine guns issued by the first and second divisions, they are also similar to those of the third division, and those Browning and Vickers heavy machine guns are all refurbished second-hand goods, not to mention the quantity, which is also a little worse than their own. Its three regiments were the same as the field army, and each regiment was configured according to one battalion and six battalions. They were only equipped with forty in one division. As for the light machine guns, there were only two crooked handles in a platoon.

And in addition to the slightly more number of mortars in the third division, the other two divisions, one division only has a sixteen-gun mortar battalion. There is no way to compare with the addition of a four-gun artillery company to each of its own battalions.

The number of light and heavy mortars of one regiment combined is enough to sixteen, not to mention. The sub-division also organized a battalion of antiaircraft guns directly under the command of the Japanese Type 37 rapid-fire guns and six Liao Type 37 antiaircraft guns, and a company of six antiaircraft machine guns. This is something that other partitions don't have.

I saw the cadres and recruits who were transferred over, and the equipment that was really configured according to the main brigade. Du Kaishan immediately realized that on the night of the Xingshan headquarters, Tao Jingfei's assumption was probably right.

Both in terms of personnel and equipment. Du Kaishan understood that the headquarters of the three independent regiments of the Fourth Division planned to be formed according to the main force at all. It's just that there is now a signboard of a military division. That is to say, once you need it, you will still be a field army. After realizing this, Du Kaishan calmed down and became the commander of his military division with peace of mind.

Although the current establishment of the regiment is only a brigade-level military sub-district, and after the training of the three regiments is completed, one of the regiments will be transferred back to the direct subordinate of the General Headquarters, and it is not on the roster of the military sub-division, but appears in the name of the training regiment of the backbone training regiment of the General Headquarters on behalf of the General Headquarters. But Du Kaishan believed that once the battle came, the headquarters would definitely make up for this regiment for him.

Du Kaishan didn't know that this so-called regiment that was to be transferred back to the headquarters was not only not on the roster of his fourth division, but also on the headquarters establishment table. Its compilation is only in the Zài secret archives. Compared to the first division, it is already very good that his regiment can still train in the name of openness.

Two of the three regiments of a sub-division were trained either in the only regiment on the divisional roster, or in the name of the warehouse garrison, the engineering unit, or even the county brigade. They also did not have a compilation on the headquarters schedule. It was the only regiment that was publicly within its structure, and the number of people on the roster was less than half of the actual number.

These are all things that Du Kaishan doesn't know, what he knows is that he will not be like Liu Changshun, who is also the commander of the Production and Construction Corps, and it will be difficult to fight again in the future. For this, Du Kaishan is very content. As for whether he will be a brigade commander in the future, or whether it is really like Tao Jingfei's estimate that his division will be directly upgraded to a column establishment in wartime, he doesn't care.

However, Du Kaishan, who was very confident in his training methods, accompanied Yang Zhen, who had changed his original plan and went to inspect his training base, when he returned to the camp. In the face of a scuffle in the camp, the scene of fighting was in full swing, but he was dumbfounded.

Seeing that it had not been long since he left, the recruits in the two regiments under his command not only fought in groups, but also fought in full swing, and they couldn't pull away. Even the platoon cadres forcibly pressed several times, but they could not suppress it. Du Kaishan's face immediately couldn't hang up.

Regarding the scene in front of him, Yang Zhen smiled and did not speak, but stopped Du Kaishan from firing a warning shot into the sky. It's just that the few people on the side who were about to shout hoarse in order to stop the group fight didn't have much effect. Carrying an armed belt, he was about to go down to suppress it in person, but he didn't expect that the commander would come at this juncture, and the regiment and battalion commander who was a little dumbfounded said: "Call all the platoon cadres back and let them continue to fight." ”

"You're watching from the sidelines, and as long as you don't use your guns, none of you are allowed to care. But there is one rule, no one is allowed to die, and no one is allowed to be disabled. If anyone wants to use a gun, you can just arrest me. ”

Yang Zhen's order not only made several battalion commanders dumbfounded, but even the two regiment commanders, political commissars, and Du Kaishan beside him were a little at a loss, and they couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd. When the soldiers in this unit fight, those who are military and political chiefs at all levels do not stop it, but instead watch the battle from the sidelines?

After giving this order that made everyone confused, Yang Zhen didn't look at the chaotic scene anymore, turned his head to Du Kaishan, who had a very difficult face beside him, and said, "You take me and I to your headquarters to rest for a while, I'm a little tired from this hurry." When they've had enough, call me again. ”

When he returned to Du Kaishan, who was temporarily serving as a headquarters, Du Kaishan said with some shame: "One zero one, let you see the joke." My troops didn't take it well, and they relaxed the discipline of the troops, so if this kind of thing happens, you can punish me. ”

Regarding Du Kaishan's review, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a group fight?" And it didn't disturb the people, so what good was there? They are all young people, and they have a lot of blood on them. It's a bit unusual for so many young people to get together and not fight a few fights. Besides, can troops that can't fight still fight? When I first joined the army, I had a lot of fights with local young people. ”

"Once, when I was out on duty, I got into a fight with someone and I was too heavy, and I discounted the bridge of their nose. If it hadn't been for the fact that there was a reason at that time, I'm afraid I would have been expelled from the military a long time ago. When you kid was in the Sichuan Army before, I'm afraid you didn't fight less. You're not an honest man. ”

What Yang Zhen said was naturally what he did when he was a soldier in later generations. In this era, he is a college student cadre who is placed in any unit of the Eighteenth Army, and he is an absolute Sven who will go to fight. In later generations, he was admitted to the military academy from the army, and when he was in the old army, this one did not fight less.

When he was a cadet at the Army Academy, he was almost expelled from the army because of a fight with a local committee trainee. If it weren't for the fact that the boys who fought with him were drunk and causing trouble, and because they relied on the strength of the crowd and made the first move, it is estimated that Yang Zhen would definitely not be able to keep his military status at that time.

However, it was precisely his calm mind and agile skills that showed him in this battle of one enemy and three enemies, and he was hit at a glance by the captain of the special brigade of the military region who went to study. After graduation, after a rigorous selection, he entered the special brigade of the military region. Until he was forced to change jobs because he beat a Japanese.

Seeing Du Kaishan's troops fighting in groups today, Yang Zhen couldn't help but think of when he was in the army in his later life, he partnered with a group of comrades-in-arms and local young people to fight in groups. There was also a scene of two units fighting in a group because of trivial matters during the exercise. Without careful consideration, this was involuntarily spoken.

It's just that these things are unknown to Du Kaishan, who was stunned by his words. Hearing Yang Zhen mention his affairs in the Sichuan Army, Du Kaishan smiled and said, "One zero one, I never fight in the Sichuan Army." When I was a soldier, I was bullied by a veteran, and I would take advantage of his defenselessness to try to get revenge on him. As for doing it, I'm not going to do that stupid thing. Can you fight the veterans who have fought all the battles? ”

When the words fell, Du Kaishan was a little puzzled, and even said with some curiosity: "One zero one, weren't you a college student before joining the army?" You're a college student who fights too? Or is it a fight with the local people? Also, you guys fight in college? ”
