Soldiers are not just good at fighting, thinking is the key.

Who to fight for and who to point the gun at are very critical issues.

I gave you weapons, gave you an army, and pointed the guns at Zhao Zhiguo and Matthew Wen. They would rather do anything than let this situation happen in Bingzhou City.

"Lao Hu, don't be anxious. Tomorrow, tomorrow night, I'll treat you to dinner. How about we old acquaintances chatting up the past?"

Zhao Zhiguo realized that the conversation between Tian Kezhi and Hu Xiankai seemed to have affected some of Hu Xiankai's decisions.

Hu Xiankai also understood that the appointment of a brigade commander could not be decided by lip service.

However, Hu Xiankai also had expectations in his heart at this time.

Even if the First Military Division does not use him, he will definitely not continue to stay in an insignificant position.

"Lao Tian, ​​what did you and Lao Hu talk about?"

Zhao Zhiguo found Tian Kezhi out of curiosity.

"Commander, what can I talk about? Just like you, talk about the past, talk about the future, draw pictures of cakes and so on." Tian Kezhi said with a smile.

"Huh? When did I draw a pie for you?"

"Hey, hey, commander, I assure you, we just talked about our army's future dreams."

In terms of confidentiality, Zhao Zhiguo still trusted Tian Kezhi.

"He still has a dream in his heart, otherwise Hu Xiakai would not have personally led the charge when he regained the position."

Among the Jinsui Army, there were only a few regimental commanders who could personally lead the charge.

"Commander, I feel relieved that Lao Hu Xing handed over Bingzhou City to him." Tian Kezhi said, "You have both saved his life and promoted him, so he will definitely obey your orders."

At this time, Hu Xiankai already had desires. If Zhao Zhiguo gave another order, Hu Xiankai would definitely remember Zhao Zhiguo's kindness.

"Lao Tian, ​​are you staying in the First Military Division to repay my kindness for poaching you from the puppet army?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Tian Kezhi.

"Of course not!" Tian Kezhi said.

He was not in the First Military Division just to repay a favor.

Because he really saw in Zhao Zhiguo the possibility of driving the Japs out of China.

"Isn't that enough? The First Military Division is not my mountaintop, Zhao Zhiguo, but a unit of the Eighth Route Army. We can't use people's idea of ​​​​repaying kindness to help us."

There are indeed personal feelings in the army, and on the battlefield, it is normal for me to save you today and he to save me tomorrow.

How can the love of comrades be repaid in vain?

"Commander, kindness is also a feeling, and it is also a way for him to understand our Eighth Route Army." Tian Kezhi said.

Zhao Zhiguo shook his head: "We can't pull the mountain away!"

Zhao Zhiguo's attitude is very resolute. He cannot be a high-ranking official in the frontier. What he wants to do is to make China stronger as early as possible.

"Lu Zheng sent a telegram requesting an active attack. It's time for us to deploy to Area 5."

Zhao Zhiguo changed the topic to the issue of Area 5.

They have to fight this battle even if they don't have enough supplies.

That afternoon, Gao Cang at least arrived at the headquarters.

As soon as he got off his horse, Yao Pengju excitedly gave Gao Cang a bear hug.

"After staying at the headquarters for so long, you, Yao, are still the same. I never see you getting fat!"

"How can I compare to your senior deputy commander, who is free and easy outside, but when I am at the headquarters, all I have to do is get scolded every day." Yao Pengju said.

"Commander, is there any important mission for me to come back? Is there going to be another big war?"

When Gao Cang received the notice, he was inspecting the troops.

After arranging the troops' tasks, they arrived at the headquarters.

"You'll find out when you go in! The commander and political commissar are waiting for you."

Gao Cang was particularly happy to see Zhao Zhiguo and Matthew Wen, but he didn't want to go up and hug them like he did when meeting Yao Pengju.

"Lao Gao, what's going on with the army?" Matthew asked.

"Everything is fine, but the supplies are still a little lacking. The new recruits that have been added are much better than the previous recruits. They are all like little tigers, squealing!"

The improvement of the quality of the soldiers allows the combat effectiveness of the troops below to recover quickly.

"Have you arranged everything for the first brigade? Is it okay for you to leave for a few days?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"Of course there is no problem. From the team leader to the squad leader below, everyone can take on greater responsibilities."

The squad leader is trained according to the platoon leader, and the regiment leader is trained according to the brigade commander. Even if the military commander is absent for a period of time, this unit will not have any problems.

"I plan to ask you to go to Mr. Zhang and help us solve the problem of insufficient supplies." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Ah? Where's Commander Zhang? How much supplies can the Northwest Army provide us?"

Gao Cang knew very well that the situation of the Northwest Army's troops was not necessarily much better than that of the First Army Division.

Asking the Northwest Army to borrow supplies, isn't it like a landlord asking a beggar to borrow money?

"The Northwest Army doesn't have much supplies, but they have channels." Zhao Zhiguo said.

If Zhao Zhiguo went to someone else to buy supplies, they would definitely not sell them to him.

But they can borrow supplies from Commander Zhang, who purchases supplies from the Central Army or the Shanxi-Sui Army.

There must be a group of quartermasters in the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army who are stealing and turning the materials they guard into money.

When the supplies are in the hands of Mr. Zhang, Zhao Zhiguo can buy them from Mr. Zhang.

"This is a good idea!" Gao Cang said.

"Political Commissar, give Gao Cang more money and ask him to go directly with the money." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Isn't this too direct? What if the Northwest Army sits on the ground and raises the price?"

Matthew Wen was still a little worried, after all, a lot of money was involved.

"Be direct with Mr. Zhang. If you beat around the bush with him and let him see through our predicament, he will directly give us the supplies. Then we will owe you even more favors."

Based on the relationship between Mr. Zhang and them, if he knew that Zhao Zhiguo was in trouble, he would definitely give it half a try.

Zhao Zhiguo did not want to owe Mr. Zhang too many favors.

Zhao Zhiguo warned Gao Cang again: "Lao Gao, after you go, do you know what to do?"

"You let me go, you must be playing the emotional card, right?"

"Yes, currently we have tense relations with all parties, especially the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. Many of them know about the relationship between Commander Zhang and us, so let Commander Zhang think of a way. Regarding the money issue,

Stop playing the emotional card, we all agree on how much Mr. Zhang wants, even if we exchange it for coal."

"Commander, do you have schizophrenia?" Gao Cang asked, "You have to distinguish where the emotional card is played and where it is not."

"Stop talking nonsense, remember, and get things done. I don't want to owe too many favors."

Favor debts are difficult to repay, and money must be given where money is due. Otherwise, when two armies are fighting for life and death on the battlefield, if you talk about favors, it will cost the lives of soldiers.

"Commander and political commissar, please rest assured, I will definitely handle it!"
