Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

When Zhang Fugui walked out of the door, Qian Bojun's expression immediately became gloomy. Looking at Zhang Fugui's back, Qian Bojun revealed a sly smile.

Originally, he didn't want to fall out with Chu Yunfei, but since Chu Yunfei was so ungrateful, he couldn't be blamed.

Now, he no longer looked down upon the position of brigade commander promised by the Japanese.

He wants to be a division commander!

And the commander's visiting card is Chu Yunfei's life!

……

After two days of travel, Lin Tian finally arrived at the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Liujiawan.

Mr. Lao and others were waiting outside the village early.

"Commander, wake up. It's General Lao and the others. General Lao and the others are waiting for us." The monk pushed Lin Tian who was sleeping soundly and said.

"Go ahead." Lin Tian said sleepily.

He has been sleeping in the car these two days, traveling day and night.

"squeak……"

Lin Tian’s car stopped in front of Mr. Lao and others.

Lin Tian hurriedly got out of the car and greeted them: "General Lao, Chief of Staff, Division Commander, long time no see."

"Hahaha, good boy, you've matured a lot!" President Lao smiled and punched Lin Tian in the chest.

"Boss Lao, why did you come out to pick me up? We can just come in by ourselves." Lin Tian also said with a smile.

"Hey, you don't know this. I heard that after you liberated Taiyuan and wiped out the 100,000-strong Japanese army, General Lao was so happy that he didn't sleep all night."

"Later, we received your report asking us to cooperate with you in liberating Jin Province. And we actually did it. Mr. Lao has been talking about your name, Lin Tian, ​​these past few days. He has been looking forward to your coming!"

The Chief of Staff stepped forward and joked.

Then several people laughed together.

Comrades passing by in the distance had strange looks on their faces; it was the first time they saw President Lao laugh so happily.

But as soon as he saw the long convoy behind and Lin Tian's figure, he understood.

Only Deputy Chief of Staff Lin could make General Lao and several others laugh at the same time.

I just don’t know what good things Deputy Chief of Staff Lin has brought this time.

For a moment, the area was crowded with people watching the fun.

"Boss Lao, these trucks are full of weapons, equipment, food and medicine. Please arrange for people to find a place to unload the goods. Also find a hidden place that is large and spacious enough. I have some good stuff here." Lin Tian said, pointing to the convoy behind him.

"I understand!" Mr. Lao smiled knowingly.

"Chief of Staff, you go and arrange it!" General Lao turned around and said.

The chief of staff responded and went to find the minister of logistics.

"Let's go in and talk!" Mr. Lao took Lin Tian's arm again and walked towards the office.

The logistics minister quickly ran over to lead the convoy.

Lin Tian had already said in the telegram that he would come to deliver supplies this time, so all the warehouses of the logistics department had been cleaned out, and even some houses in the headquarters had been cleared out.

Just waiting for Lin Tian.

Everyone knows that when Lin Tianyi comes, he brings hundreds of truckloads of stuff...

The monk then directed the convoy to follow the logistics minister.

……

Inside the headquarters labor union office.

"Lin Tian, ​​you guys fought really well this time. I think your Division 1 has the ability to fight in a large group. Tell me, how many new soldiers are you going to recruit this time?"

As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Lao personally poured Lin Tian a cup of tea and then asked.

"To be honest, the total strength of Division 1 before the war had already reached the size of a division."

"After the war, we have recruited 6,000 new soldiers locally. Currently, the troops are scattered around Taiyuan. There are more young and strong people joining the army. The specific number may be more than 10,000."

Lin Tian took a sip of the tea brewed by Mr. Lao and said.

"More than ten thousand... That's the strength of a division. I think it won't take long for a division to reach the strength of an army." The chief of staff said in surprise.

"More than that. As far as I know, in order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the troops and to gradually accumulate experience in large-scale combat, Lin Tian controls the number of new recruits each time. Otherwise, with the weapons and financial resources of a division, it would be easy to recruit an army of 100,000." The division commander also said with a smile.

He felt deeply about this. Having too many new recruits would, on the one hand, disperse the combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, the number of troops would suddenly increase, which would be a huge test for the command and coordination capabilities of officers and soldiers.

"Haha, the commander is right. I am indeed controlling the number of people. I can't do it all at once." Lin Tian said frankly.

The division commander is worthy of being called a military god, he knows everything about this matter.

"I see that Lin Tian has a clear grasp of how many troops he can command. The commander has already said that the more troops Lin Tian has, the better." General Lao said.

In fact, he had an idea. Since the combat effectiveness of the first division was so strong and Lin Tian’s command level was not low, even the leader recognized it.

Of course it can be expanded on a large scale. The headquarters will back Lin Tian up, so he can just go ahead and do it.

"Lin Tian, ​​the three of us have discussed it these days and are planning to add some staff to help you." Mr. Lao said, looking at Lin Tian with a smile.

"Oh? Mr. Lao, you don't want to incorporate the friendly forces into the organization of the first division, do you?" Lin Tian asked.

In fact, he had this idea, but finally gave it up.

It is not easy for the headquarters to develop troops, and you cannot reap the fruits yourself.

"That's right, but I still need to discuss this matter with you. We in the Eighth Route Army have the final say, hahaha..." said the chief of staff.

"Of course that's good. The friendly troops are all veterans. Their combat effectiveness and discipline are beyond doubt. After a period of running-in, they will soon be combat-ready. Of course I'm willing!" Lin Tian was very excited. It was more comfortable to eat in Chengdu this way.

Although he now has a big training buff bonus, training is training, and actual combat is another matter. Of course, veterans are the best.

I just don’t know which unit General Lao and his men are going to assign to him.

"As long as you agree, we are going to give you a reinforced regiment first and transfer Kong Jie's new second regiment to you. What do you think?" said the division commander.

The New Second Regiment was his unit, a decision made by the three of them after careful consideration.

They originally decided to look for someone from the 129th Division, and after searching for a long time, they found Kong Jie to be the most suitable person.

Li Yunlong is a troublemaker. Disobeying orders on the battlefield is as easy as drinking cold water. He used to be the regiment commander of Lin Tian. If Li Yunlong was transferred there, there would be chaos.

If we stay here, the brigade commander can keep the situation under control, and so can the division commander.

Kong Jie is a good comrade who obeys orders and fights decisively. It is most appropriate to transfer him to Lin Tian.

"New Second Regiment? Sure!" Lin Tian said happily.

Kong Jiedu’s new Second Regiment now has more than 358 people. No wonder the division commander said it was a reinforced regiment. A regiment of more than people is more than Chu Yunfei’s th Regiment.

I just don't know what Chu Yunfei is doing now. Fang Zheng reported that the 358th Regiment was recently transferred to the front line, only a few dozen kilometers away from Fang Zheng's st Infantry Regiment.

When Lin Tian thought of the 358th Regiment, he couldn't help but think of Chu Yunfei.

The army is recruiting so many new soldiers, and he is in great need of cadres...

Brother Yunfei, the time to fulfill the bet is not far away...
