Chapter 174 The Japanese Army's New Strategy!
Zhou Cheng thought for a while and ordered: "The fire platoon of the Guard Company does not have heavy machine guns for the time being, and it will be replenished after it is seized later."
"The newly formed independent companies are equipped with 79 caliber weapons, and the rifles are mainly made of Hanyang and Mauser rifles. Secondly, the old sleeves are selected, and the machine gun is equipped with Czech. The box cannons that are not enough are temporarily replaced by Japanese-equipped turtle boxes."
"In three days, put all the racks of the troops in place and equipped with weapons and ammunition. It is better to equip people than to wait for equipment."
"The recruits recruit fifty units to replenish the troops once, and the third battalion will be fully reorganized in the shortest time."
Once the troops break up with the headquarters, they are likely to face the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops independently in the future, and the support of the war zone will be cut off. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the four words "life and death".
The three deputy battalion commanders were clear-headed and looked at Zhou Cheng’s report very seriously: “Don’t worry, battalion commander, we will definitely be able to solve these challenges smoothly!”
After Li Honghui left, Zhou Cheng took Tang Yufeng to Staff Zheng's room.
After reiterating my experience and solutions at the headquarters, I told you straight to the point: "Staff General Zheng, I hope you can go back to the division headquarters as soon as possible to report the current situation of the Third Battalion to the chief, and at the same time, I requested the division headquarters to support us several cavalry cadres and form the cavalry company as soon as possible."
"With the support of the cavalry company, Wang Dehou would not dare to be too out of line even if he stabs us in the back!"
"Our transaction with the Japanese army ended successfully, and we received a total of 30,000 yuan of oceans and medicine worth 10,000 yuan. I have asked Deputy Battalion Commander Tang to pack all of them as the spoils we handed over to the division headquarters. Please ask General Zheng to bring them to the commander together."
"I remember Staff General Zheng said last time that because he had no money, the division leader lived a very hard life and ate worse than the soldiers. He could not get any meat in a month."
"It just so happened that we seized twenty boxes of canned beef during the last anti-sweeping campaign. Please help us take it back together."
"In addition, we have prepared ten war horses, thirty boxes of sixty-five caliber bullets, and ten boxes of ninety-two heavy machine gun bullets. Staff Zheng, you will bring them to the chief."
"So many things?" Staff Zheng was shocked by Zhou Cheng's big move and asked in surprise.
Zhou Cheng shook his head and replied: "Not much at all. If it weren't because the headquarters was about to turn against our third battalion, I would definitely not let Staff Zheng go back so early."
"When the war zone receives the commendation from our National Salvation Army, we will definitely bring another battalion of domestic equipment to the chief."
"This is the case now, so I can only feel wronged. Staff Zheng is rushing back now."
"Take back the cavalry cadres needed by the Third Battalion as soon as possible, and the cavalry company will be able to develop combat effectiveness one day earlier. When facing the command's various secret moves against us, we will be more confident!"
Staff Zheng nodded with approval.
The deeper he learned about the third battalion, the more shocked he was. Although Zhou Cheng was just a battalion commander now, he had more funds, weapons and ammunition than any main regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking of the number of Japanese and puppet troops that the National Salvation Army destroyed this anti-sweeping campaign, it is not surprising that so many spoils were handed over to the division headquarters.
Although Zhou Cheng only asked himself to ask the division headquarters for a few cavalry cadres, he didn't think so.
The expansion of the Third Battalion is about to be imminent, and a large number of cadres will definitely be needed, especially those who understand political work.
Zhou Cheng was embarrassed to speak, so Staff Zheng decided to help him speak.
When returning to the headquarters, you must need a few more talents to come back.
He quickly replied: "Don't worry, Battalion Commander Zhou, I will send these materials, ammunition and funds to the division headquarters in the shortest time, hand them over to the division commander, and then bring the cadres from the division headquarters to support the third battalion back as soon as possible."
When the Japanese Garrison Brigade Command was pacified, Akiyama Nakasaki was defeated by Shangfeng.
The brigade commander was furious and immediately took off his captain's position and asked him to return to the brigade headquarters to stand by.
Although he is still in charge of pacifying the garrison as the acting captain, the squadron leader under his command has regarded him as a joke and avoided him, and no one will execute his orders.
Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the new captain and then went to curry favor with him.
At the command center of the Yangquan Japanese Theater Troupe, the brigade commander was sitting in the main seat and discussing with his subordinates the candidate for the brigade captain of the garrison.
Within less than a month, the captains of both team members fell in this position, and there was even a rumor within the brigade: the garrison brigade was the tomb of the captain. Whoever went to the wrong person would lose his official position or his title at the worst, and the worst would be lost.
Several officers who were qualified to be the captain of the brigade had fled far away when talking about pacifying the garrison, they were afraid to avoid it.
The meeting has been around for almost two hours, and the final candidate has not been confirmed yet.
The brigade commander was angry and cursed at his subordinates with a look of regret.
"Baga! These people on the list are all cowards. Isn't it just a national-savior army that won two battles? What's there to be afraid of?"
No officer answered the conversation in the conference room, and the brigade commander's face was full of disappointment.
Although he could designate an officer to pacify, he did not do so.
The pacification situation is indeed much more complicated than other places. The environment is harsh and the enemy situation is complicated. If the commander takes office with dissatisfaction, he will definitely follow the footsteps of Akiyama Nakasa.
Therefore, the newly appointed team leader must be willing to do so without any messy psychological burdens, go into battle lightly and devote himself to dealing with the national rescue army.
When he glanced at his subordinates in the conference room again, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
After sighing again, the brigade commander decided to settle for the second best and shift the target to others.
There must be people in the Grand Priest who dared to take on this heavy burden, and there must be people in the Captain. Their number is several times that of the Grand Priest, and the pressure to make progress is greater than that of the Grand Priest.
The brigade commander did it as soon as he said, and immediately drew a huge pie for everyone!
"Notify all captain-level officers in the city that if anyone who actively signs up to go to the Punishment Guard Brigade will be promoted directly to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank
"General think twice!" The chief of staff of the brigade suddenly stood up to remind him.
"The garrison was defeated twice before and after the pacification of the garrison, with low morale and unstable military morale. If the captain we sent did not have enough high rank and qualifications, we would definitely not be able to reorganize the troops that had been loose in the garrison."
"I suggest choosing directly from officers at or above the level of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks."
"As for everyone's concerns, I think the troops should change their perspective to deal with the National Savior Army."
"We have always advocated military struggle to eliminate opponents through offensives and sweeps, and ensure the stability of the Imperial Army occupied areas."
"The two defeats show that this move is useless. We can no longer rely on military struggle to eliminate our opponents!"
The brigade commander heard something in the Chief of Staff’s words and asked with great expectations: “To be specific, besides military struggle, what else can I take down this national-savior army!”
"Two-pronged!" The Chief of Staff decided to express his thoughts.
"Change military struggle to recruit surrender, send people to contact the national rescue army, give them money and status, and let them surrender to the imperial army."
"Aren't they strong in combat? Then find a way to use it for me and make them turn around and fight the Chinese army."
"Of course, the military struggle cannot be stopped during the process of recruiting surrender. We fight and talk while constantly putting pressure on our opponents, so that we can win them at the minimum cost."
"Recently, many troops claiming to be a rescue army emerged in North China. A large part of the rescue army was surrendered by the Imperial Army using this method and turned into the Imperial Army."
"Although the combat effectiveness of the National Rescue Army is stronger than that of other National Rescue Army, they are also made up of humans. If they are humans, they will have shortcomings, and then our opportunity will come!"
"In order to achieve this goal, the new garrison captain of the pacification garrison must at least be promoted to the rank of Zuo. Only in this way can he be worthy of the peace and the pacification and rescue army to discuss surrender."
The brigade commander's mind seemed to be opened, and the problem that was pressed into his mind was solved instantly.
The frown brows also stretched out, and he turned his gaze to his subordinates in front of him again.
They all understood what the Chief of Staff had just said.
They were asked to pacify the rescuing army, but no one wanted to go to this muddy water, and they were worried that they would lose their wife and their troops.
When the Chief of Staff said that military struggle was changed to surrender, the faces of several people changed and they gradually began to feel moved.
Compared with the eradication of the national rescue army through military struggle, they are more willing to eliminate the national rescue army by surrendering, and their chances of victory are greater.
"Sir, I am willing to go!" A major stood up quickly.
The other majors were unwilling to fall behind and wanted to take this credit.
The brigade commander said from the beginning that no matter who goes to pacify the garrison, his rank will be raised one level.
After changing military struggle to surrender, everyone will definitely not be as dangerous as before. They can take the opportunity to upgrade to the rank of military. This is a good thing that even a pie falls from the sky. As long as the qualified officer in the conference room is a fight, they want to fight for it.
At this moment, a Nakasa, who had a higher rank than both of them, suddenly stood up and asked for a fight.
"General, I am willing to go and pacify."
"What the Chief of Staff said just now is very clear that the officers who surrender and rescue the National Army must be of sufficient level and qualification."
"I think I am more competent than them to serve as the captain of the garrison brigade."
"If I were asked to surrender them, I only need the organization of a regiment of the Imperial Army to persuade them to work hard for the Imperial Army!"
In the eyes of the Chief of Staff, going to a Zhongjiao to contact the National Savior Army and discussing the inclusion will definitely make the National Savior Army more convinced than a minor.
Looking at the brigade commander, he replied: "General, I support him to pass."
The brigade commander also agreed with the candidate and immediately ordered: "Then you go."
"The Brigade Command will issue you an appointment and removal document immediately. I will prepare for you for another half an hour, and then set off overnight with the appointment letter and the first batch of materials and personnel added by the Brigade Command to the Punishment Guard Team and arrive at Pingding as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!"
