"Chief, I am planning to replace the equipment of our militia." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Have the militiamen begun to change their equipment? Some of our regular regiments still use spears, 1,500 of them."

The deputy commander did not expect Zhao Zhiguo to be such a wealthy person and increase the price again.

"Chief, please listen to me first. My plan is to equip the militia teams close to enemy-occupied areas. These militiamen are the key to preventing the infiltration of Japanese scouts. Moreover, if the little devils take a detour and sneak attack from remote places, these militiamen can provide early warning.

Function." Zhao Zhiguo said.

When inspecting the forward positions of a regiment, Zhao Zhiguo thought about the issue of militiamen.

After the battle in Jinyang is over, the weapons, equipment and combat literacy of the militiamen in the areas close to the Japanese war zone must be improved.

Once the Japs all-out attacked Zhao Zhiguo's defense area, the role played by these militiamen was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

When the Japanese army entered the defense area of ​​the First Army Division, they found that everyone was resisting them and fighting was happening everywhere. They would be unable to move even an inch.

So no matter what, Zhao Zhiguo had to change the equipment of a group of militiamen, at least to let them have guns in their hands instead of fighting with cold weapons.

"I understand what you mean. You are saying that your defense area is currently facing a crisis and needs more weapons, right?" said the Chief of General Staff.

"There is no way, the little devil has already set his sights on us. If the Japanese army really comes towards us this time, the number of troops gathered will definitely be no less than 100,000, and our defense zone must defend three directions. Even if we can develop

Even if the troops reach 100,000, they must be defended separately."

The Japs can concentrate their superior forces to capture one point, while the remaining troops disperse to attack and contain Zhao Zhiguo's other troops.

However, Zhao Zhiguo had to disperse his troops in various places to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through from other directions.

The troops were dispersed, and Zhao Zhiguo needed the dispersed militia to provide the regular troops with information on where the Japanese troops were marching.

"In that case, I won't ask you for equipment this time until the First Military Division has passed this crisis." The deputy commander said, "Do I need to send troops to reinforce you?"

"There is no need to send troops, but you must send a telegram to our division commander and brigade commander when the time comes, asking them to attack the Japanese army's rear," Zhao Zhiguo said.

The location of the 129th Division is very good.

Zhao Zhiguo and the others could attract the main force of the Japanese army, and their troops behind enemy lines could take the opportunity to harass the Japanese logistics units, pull out Japanese strongholds, and expand their base areas behind enemy lines.

"It turns out you have already thought of a plan."

"Chief, we can't get many guns right now, but we can get 180,000 rounds of various bullets." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Although Zhao Zhiguo and his arsenal lacked raw materials, when production was accelerated, they were able to produce nearly 10,000 rounds of ammunition a day.

In order to block this Japanese attack, Zhao Zhiguo has ordered the arsenal to work overtime to produce everything from bullets to artillery shells. They have now accumulated a good fortune.

"Don't worry, I will give half of these 180,000 rounds of ammunition to the 129th Division."

When the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army launched a battle, the veterans in each battle could not get more than fifteen rounds of ammunition. Ninety thousand rounds of ammunition were already valuable to a division of the Eighth Route Army.

"Thank you very much, chief!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "When the war breaks out, I may not be able to report the war situation to the headquarters."

"Don't worry about those who beat you. I only give you one request. The First Military Division cannot be defeated!"

Today, the First Military Division is more than just a defense zone. They have become the mainstay of the anti-Japanese war.

If Zhao Zhiguo was defeated, the Japanese army would publicize it, and the anti-Japanese morale and enthusiasm of the Chinese military and civilians would also be affected.

This is a military struggle and a national battle against Japan.

Zhao Zhiguo nodded: "With the support of the headquarters, I am more confident in this battle."

This meal took more than two hours to eat, and the dishes were reheated twice.

The four people talked for a long time around their troops and the Japs' troops.

There were arguments and opinions, and the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff gave Zhao Zhiguo and Zhu Hongsi more encouragement.

In terms of combat, the headquarters could allow Zhao Zhiguo and others to fail, but in terms of strategy, they told Zhao Zhiguo that they must be bold.

That night, when Zhao Zhiguo returned to their residence, Liu Qingsheng was already waiting for them.

"commander!"

When Liu Qingsheng saw Zhao Zhiguo, he happily rushed towards him.

For Liu Qingsheng, Zhao Zhiguo is his reborn parent.

If I hadn't met Liu Qingsheng on the roadside, the grass on Liu Qingsheng's grave might have been two meters high.

"Where did you go during the day? Why didn't you come to me?"

Zhao Zhiguo spoke to Liu Qingsheng more like an elder brother than a commander.

"I went to study and train with the chiefs at the headquarters. The training here is less intensive than ours." Liu Qingsheng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Are you going to be an instructor for someone else?"

Zhao Zhiguo understood what Liu Qingsheng meant.

The soldiers of the First Military Division have never slacked off in training. Among all Chinese armies, their soldiers also have the most intensive training and the most training subjects.

Starting from the reserve force, they undergo high-intensity training every day, and soldiers who cannot keep up with the training have long been eliminated.

"Commander, they insist on letting me go, and I am embarrassed to refuse."

"Don't be embarrassed. If you have the strength, bring it out. We won't hide it." Zhao Zhiguo said, "This time you go back with me."

"Okay, I'm so happy when I heard you were coming," Liu Qingsheng said.

"In the past few days, you can do whatever you have to do. I will call you when you leave."

Zhao Zhiguo will definitely take Liu Qingsheng back with him.

As for the 40-fire incident, it has entered the negotiation stage. All that remains is for both parties to reach an agreement and then send the drawings to them.

Feng Dian slept in the open for several days. Even lying on a wooden bed, it felt like heaven.

Zhao Zhiguo didn't want to get up until the bugle sounded twice and soldiers' training bugles sounded outside.

When we arrived at the headquarters compound, the courtyard was already filled with people, each holding a pen and a small notebook in their hands.

Some arrived late and had to wait by the wall.

"This commander is the commander. He has set up such a grand scheme. It has been so long since the sun has come out and it hasn't come yet."

The waiting officers were talking a lot, and most of them had never seen Zhao Zhiguo.

If the deputy commander hadn't given an order to attend the class and the instructor hadn't come so late, they would have run away long ago.

"Hey, hey...what's the matter with you? You came so late and you still push forward?"

Zhao Zhiguo was also startled when he walked into the yard. There was no one sitting on the acacia tree in the middle of the yard.
Chapter completed!
