Base System of Bashu Heroes

Liu Tianchu was very good at mobilizing the morale of the troops. He also knew that an army that lost morale could not survive amid the heavy siege of the Japanese army. According to records, after 1942, the government used the method of recruiting young men to replenish the troops. Due to the widespread corruption in the government , troops who lost confidence in the war against Japan often lost one-third of their troops before they reached the front line after reorganization, and most of them deserted.

As for his Sichuan Army troops, which fought all the way from Songhu to Nanjing and then to Shandong, even if they were not absolutely elite, they had 110,000 people in 11 divisions and an independent brigade to deal with the three Japanese divisions. He was confident enough. The confidence comes from the common hatred of the entire Sichuan Army. The only regret is the lack of air superiority.

Liu Tianchu returned to the Sanyi Village headquarters. He called Jiang Hui'an, Liu Ling, Tianbang and others together. Liu Tianchu first asked: "How many German-style landmines were brought out from the retreat from Nanjing?"

Jiang Hui'an, Liu Ling and others looked at each other, unable to answer. Xi Zai was not around, and no one cared about these matters. Liu Tianchu shook his head helplessly: "Ronghua, go to the military supply place and ask, and tell me when you find out."

"Yes!" Ronghua turned around and walked out.

Liu Tianchu pointed at the map and continued: "Liu Ling's two brigades guard the Jinshui River and Jialu River outside Xuchang. They make full use of the flexibility of mines, bazookas, and rocket launchers to use guerrilla tactics to destroy the Japanese mobile troops and delay the Japanese army's detour to Zhengzhou. speed."

Liu Ling asked in confusion: "Xuchang has two divisions under Tang Enbo's department. Do we need to guard the perimeter?".

Liu Tianchu shook his head repeatedly. "Tang Enbo can't be trusted. If he retreats, the Japanese army will bypass Zhengzhou unimpeded. If Tang Enbo is really as I expected, Dofeiyuan marches straight in and the troops are at the gates of Zhengzhou, then we will be unable to save the day, so we must take precautions before they happen." "

"In the second battle of Lanfeng, the commander gave a fatal order. Only victory is allowed, not defeat. How dare Tang Enbo disobey the military order?"

Jiang Hui'an interjected: "The commission's order is for Tianchu and does not apply to Tang Enbo's direct lineage."

Everyone knew that the commission's order was directed at Liu Tianchu. Liu Tianchu didn't want to discuss this issue under the current situation, so he interrupted their conversation and told Liu Ling: "You are absolutely invincible with the strength of one division. Use your talents, fight if you can win, and run if you can't. As long as the Dofeiyuan division is prevented from detouring towards Zhengzhou, the slower the speed, the better. Wait until I capture the Chenliu Yellow River ferry and cut off his supply line. The sword is pointing at Lan Feng, and Doihara will definitely come back with reinforcements. At that time, his plan will be completely disrupted by me."

Jiang Hui'an seemed to suddenly understand: "No wonder you haven't moved forward in Sanyi Village. So you were peeking at Chenliu Ferry?"

Liu Tianchu laughed loudly: "The arrogant Doihara Kenji, Lanfeng only left an engineering regiment and an infantry regiment. Think I can't do anything to him, and treat the Sichuan Army as the trash of the Central Army? I cut Chen Liu off from the Japanese army on the north bank of the Yellow River. Passage, completely immersing him in a lonely situation, can he still laugh? ".

Everyone suddenly realized, and Liu Ling also said: "At the Xuzhou meeting, you said that the more Kenji Doihara despises you, the happier you will be. No one understands what you mean. Now I understand. It turns out that your target is Chenliu Ferry."

While several people were talking, Ronghua came in with a middle-aged man in his forties with a disheveled appearance. Ronghua reported helplessly: "Sir, this old gentleman insists on reporting the armament situation to you in person."

The middle-aged man was obviously very dissatisfied with Ronghua's title. "Old sir?" The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly. "That's wrong, that's wrong, call me brother!"

Although Ronghua is an adjutant, he also has the rank of lieutenant colonel. The middle-aged man is a captain. In a highly hierarchical army, the captain wants the lieutenant colonel to call him brother, which is inappropriate for his age! Liu Tianchu couldn't help laughing. "Old man, What's your name?"….

The middle-aged man glanced at Liu Tianchu fiercely, showing even more dissatisfaction with him, but it was difficult to refute in front of a room full of generals, so he shook his head and said: "The mountain man's surname is Shen Hanning, and his nickname is Qian Chuanzi."

The whole room burst into laughter. How old is the "mountain man" who still calls himself this? This person is so weird. Liu Tianchu laughed so hard that he burst into tears: "Brother Shen, no! Qian Chuanzi, I just want to know how many landmines there are." Inventory, why are you reporting armaments to me?"

Qian Chuanzi took out an abacus from his arms like a magic trick. His fingers were running on the abacus like flying. There was only the sound of the abacus beads in the room. After a moment, he said calmly: "I will report to you the consumption of ammunition for seven days." , I just got the results of the current food reserves. If there is no ammunition replenishment, the current ammunition reserves can only last for five days. I hope the commander will make plans soon!"

Liu Tianchu was a little confused: "How did you know that I would fight for seven days? Also? How did you get the result? You don't have any material accounts?"

"All soldiers have prepared rations for seven days. I should understand this as a mountain person. As for the accounts, of course I keep them in my mind. I keep accounts with strings of money and never use a pen. I will summarize it after three days."

Everyone in the room was shocked. Does this person really have such an amazing memory? Everyone was skeptical. "Ronghua, go get his account book."

Just as Ronghua was about to leave, Qian Chuanzi waved his hand and took out the account book from his pocket and handed it to Liu Tianchu. Liu Tianchu flipped through a few pages and the accounts were clearly organized. He deliberately asked: "How many bullets are in stock? How many German mines are there?"

Qian Chuanzi answered without hesitation: "10,340 landmines, 11,200 assault rifle bullets, 78,607 37 semi-automatic rifle bullets, and 180,000 Zhongzheng rifle bullets." Four thousand rounds, Hanyang-made and Sichuan-made bullets are not in stock.”

Liu Tianchu checked them one by one and found that the numbers were correct. Liu Tianchu stared at him for a long time before asking: "Brother Shen, what did you do before?"

Liu Tianchu seemed to ask about his sadness, his eyes were red, he didn't answer, and walked away.

"This man is so strange." Liu Tianchu asked Jiang Hui'an and others, "Who knows him?"

Kang Heizi smiled and replied: "Captain of the Independent Brigade, I heard that before joining the army, he was the owner of a well-known trading house in Shanghai, and his business was very big. When the Japanese army attacked Shanghai, planes bombed Shanghai, and a bomb fell in his yard. , all six members of his family were killed, and he was the only one who survived. In anger, he sold all his property and donated it to the government. He also became a soldier, vowing to avenge his family with his own hands. But he had no strength to tie a chicken, and he was not able to carry a gun at all. The 88th Division wanted him to donate family funds to the Anti-Japanese War, and he had ink in his belly, so he was made a captain and quartermaster. After the Songhu Battle, he came to Nanjing with the army. When we were recruiting defeated troops in Nanjing, he joined the Sichuan Army. Losing a loved one overnight may be too stressful and cause mental problems.”

"This is a talented person. Send someone to Xi Zai and tell him to keep an eye on me. I will be of great use." Liu Tianchu scratched his head after giving the instructions: "Where did I just say it? I forgot because he interrupted me."

"By the way, Kang Zhiqiang." Liu Tianchu shouted loudly.

Kang Heizi hurriedly took a step forward. Liu Tianchu walked up to him and said, "You and Ronghua took two rocket launchers and a guard battalion to disguise themselves as Japanese troops and crossed the Yellow River to attack the Japanese airport in Handan. No matter what the cost, you will definitely blow up the airport."

"This..." Kang Heizi was hesitant, but Ronghua became anxious upon hearing this, his eyes widening: "Sir, my duty is to protect you, sir, and I will not perform any other tasks."

"Guawazi, who else can complete such a long-distance mission except you? The one who can speak Japanese, if there is an emergency along the way, only you can handle it." Liu Tianchu advised earnestly.

"Sir, no matter what your reasons are, Ronghua cannot comply. There is only one concept in Ronghua's mind, and that is the safety of the chief."

"You..." Liu Tianchu was furious: "Are you crazy? This is an order, you must carry it out." Liu Tianchu really didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. Rong Hua's stubbornness gave him a headache for more than a day or two.

Seeing that Liu Tianchu was really angry, Ronghua whispered: "It's okay to execute it. It's Niu Dahai, otherwise I won't go."

Liu Tianchu stared at him blankly, Chu Tianbang and Liu Ling snickered next to him, and Kang Heizi understood immediately. "Batalion Commander, my injury has not healed yet. One arm can only add burden to the army. Besides, crossing the Yellow River

I'm afraid of wounds..."

Liu Tianchu stared at him for a while, while Heizi kept twitching the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, not daring to raise his head. Liu Tianchu came closer to check his injuries. Heizi didn't lie. The wound had not fully healed yet. It was unreasonable to continue to insist on him performing the task, so he had to nod.

. Heizi and Ronghua both understood Liu Tianchu's intentions. Even Tianbang understood things that could escape the eyes of others. Jiang Hui'an and Liu Ling looked at Liu Tianchu in confusion.
