Chapter 273 How to improve combat effectiveness! (Second update!) "Mining guerrillas?" When Zhang Fakui received the telegram, he was stunned for a moment. Then, after being reminded by his subordinates, he remembered that the mining guerrillas were active in the waters behind the enemy. The main purpose was to cut off the Japanese army's water transportation traffic. The results were pretty good. But the key issue is that they belong to the Navy. His hand can't reach that far. "Unless the Sichuan Army can provide warships, it will be very difficult to poach them." Xia Wei did have a certain understanding of this mine-laying guerrilla group. That's because the main force of the Guangxi clique is active at the junction of the three provinces of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, so they naturally know this guerrilla group. "Providing battleships? The appetite of those guys in the navy is too big." Zhang Fakui was speechless. "Didn't the telegram say that minelayers could be provided?" Xia Wei pointed to the telegram. Didn't it say that minelayers could be provided?
"Even if I give it to you, how will you transport it back? Do you have fuel? And torpedoes, how many can they have?" Zhang Fakui said angrily. "Have you ever caught fish? This is the bait used to make nests, specially designed to seduce those guys in the navy." "That has nothing to do with us. All we have to do is pass the news to them. Whether they come or not is not up to us." Xia Wei spread his hands. What does this have to do with them? Hearing this, Zhang Fakui was stunned, that's right. What does this have to do with him? He is just a mouthpiece. After thinking about it, Zhang Fakui asked seriously. "What do Li and Bai say?" "In principle, I naturally agree with the Sichuan Army's proposal, but some parts need to be modified." Xia Wei said with a smile. Hearing this, Zhang Fakui frowned slightly and asked incredulously. "What to modify?" "Weapon distribution." Xia Wei said quickly. "Sir Zhang, I'm really not talking nonsense. This is the telegram from Commander Li Bai. You can take a look at it." As he spoke, he handed over the telegram, but Zhang Fakui did not pick it up, but looked at him. "Li and Bai have great ambitions, but sometimes virtue doesn't match them." This meaningful sentence made Xia Wei stunned, and he didn't know whether it was an ancient saying or it meant something. "I have no problem with the distribution of weapons. I'm not very interested in these anymore. If the Japs hadn't invaded, I would have wanted to go home and work in the fields." Zhang Fakui has also been downplaying fame and wealth in recent years. After all, the direct line troops were dismembered and dismembered, betrayed by betrayal. Anyone else would have been disheartened already.
However, he has already taken a dim view of him now. "Sir Zhang, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions cannot do without you." These words are sincere. After all, Zhang Fakui is definitely very high in terms of prestige. "Okay, stop flattering me. I'm not from your Gui family. I don't have any objections here, but the other two people have to communicate with them on their own." Zhang Fakui rolled his eyes and then said again. "It's not that easy to get things from the Sichuan Army. Naturally, you have to pay a certain price. I looked at the map these days. It's not that easy to transport all the hungry people here. The blockade in the Japanese-occupied areas is very strict." "What do you mean?" Xia Wei seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking and asked doubtfully. "Fight a new battle and completely connect this railway." Zhang Fakui pointed at Jiangcheng on the map and said. "Ah?" Xia Wei was completely confused. Attacking Jiangcheng? Although the Japanese army took the initiative to abandon some defense areas during this period, an important place like Jiangcheng was naturally still in their hands. After all, this is the thoroughfare of nine provinces. Controlling this place means controlling most of China. Therefore, the Japanese army stationed a lot of troops here. Now Zhang Fakui means to launch a new battle. In that case, the scale is at least hundreds of thousands. Even higher. Such a large-scale battle is definitely not something that a small theater commander can decide. There must be approval from the person in Shancheng. Seeing Xia Wei's confused expression, Zhang Fakui immediately understood what he meant. "Are you worried that the scale of the battle will be too large and that Shancheng will intervene?" Zhang Fakui asked with a smile. "Yes, that person's military command level is only at the battalion and company level at most. If he intervenes, the result of the battle will be..." Xia Wei hesitated for a moment, but still said what he was thinking. "Hahahaha..." Zhang Fakui couldn't help laughing, and then continued. "The battle is not that easy to start. This is just the current plan. Without enough weapons and equipment, the gap between us and the Japanese army is still too big." "If . aid can continue, we can consider launching a counterattack in a year and a half at most." "Then you..." Xia Wei also wanted to say, since the battle is not so easy to start, why do you still propose to organize a new battle? "The one who wants to command the battle must be willing to dispatch more direct troops." "What if this battle was initiated by so-called miscellaneous troops like us? Even if that person wants to take command, he is not qualified." Zhang Fakui sneered. Hearing this, Xia Wei couldn't help but his eyes lit up. If this was the case, their Gui clan could indeed take the opportunity to expand their territory in this battle. However, if you want to deal with the Japanese army as a miscellaneous army, the number of troops required is not a small number. Especially the logistics supply is even more scary. "According to my estimates, with 100,000 elite troops and 200,000 second-line troops, as long as they cooperate properly, there will be no problem in taking over Jiangcheng." Zhang Fakui analyzed calmly.
"One hundred thousand elite weapons?" Xia Wei couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He even once wondered if there was something wrong with Zhang Fakui's brain. Do you know what the concept of 100,000 Artifact Elites is? "Yes, one hundred thousand elite weapons." Zhang Fakui nodded solemnly. "Sir Zhang, don't you know what the concept of one hundred thousand elites is?" "Still all beautiful weapons and equipment? As far as I know, the expeditionary force in Tianzhu has not been reorganized yet." Xia Wei thought it was better to let this guy calm down a little. "I know, isn't it Du Yuming's 100,000 expeditionary army." Zhang Fakui sneered. "There are not 100,000 elite soldiers with beautiful weapons. It is absolutely wishful thinking to take Jiangcheng. Although the Japanese army has mobilized some elites, the combat effectiveness is not comparable to ours." "After so many years of fighting, our elite troops have long been exhausted, and the military quality of today's soldiers is obviously not as good as before the war." It has to be said that Zhang Fakui still has military capabilities, at least Xia Wei doesn't think there is any problem. "So, we can only find ways to make up for the gap in weapons, so as to shorten the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides." "You are right, but where do we get so many beautiful equipment?" Xia Wei said helplessly. "The Sichuan Army." Zhang Fakui pointed directly to the south and said. "Sir Zhang, this is 100,000 pieces of beautiful equipment, not your regiment's equipment." Xia Wei felt that Zhang Fakui was definitely out of his mind. Can the Sichuan Army come up with 100,000 beautiful weapons and equipment? What a joke! They have this family background, but they are still hanging out in the south? Seeing Xia Wei's disbelief, Zhang Fakui didn't explain much. "I'm going to expand my guard regiment." After hearing this, Xia Wei's brain suddenly shut down. Expand the guard group? What is this intended to do? A comeback? "You are too weak. Some people don't take you seriously." "With your expansion of the army, the people in Shancheng may not be able to sleep at night." Xia Wei clicked his tongue. Who knows, Zhang Fakui shook his head and said. "Don't worry, there won't be many. It's just for self-protection." "The battle in Jiangcheng must be fought, otherwise the cost of transporting hungry people will be too high. Opening this railway will make it much easier." "Since the Sichuan Army has proposed this condition, it must be prepared to pay a huge price." "What you and I have to do now is expand our troops, train our equipment, and receive more equipment."
Hearing this, Xia Wei seemed to understand but not understand. "Haven't there been some hungry people coming from the north recently? The number is not very large, about a few thousand people. Send them to the Sichuan Army first to show our sincerity." Zhang Fakui pointed to the hungry people in Liuzhou and said. "Yes." Xia Wei nodded. ……… "The appetite of the Fourth War Zone is really big. If you want to launch the Jiangcheng Battle, you need so much beautiful equipment. Why don't you grab the beautiful equipment for 100,000 people?" Meng Fanglia looked at the message sent by the Fourth War Zone. Telegram, he said speechlessly for a while. One hundred thousand people seems to be a lot, but in fact it is not much. There is a high probability that there are only five or six art masters. The Sichuan Army gritted its teeth and could still come up with it within three months. "This is because I want to take Jiangcheng by myself without letting Shancheng guys interfere at all." Cun Yunsheng naturally saw what the other party was thinking and couldn't help but sigh. This idea is indeed quite bold. I just hope that the Sichuan Legion can provide 100,000 beautiful weapons and equipment. "Tuanzuo, do you think it's possible?" Meng Fan looked confused and felt that this was simply impossible. "Of course it's still possible. After all, the man in Shancheng hopes that all the miscellaneous troops in these places can be killed." Cun Yunsheng nodded. "Then you agree to the other party's request?" Meng Fanglia continued to ask. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was silent for a while. The main thing is to consider family wealth. Based on the current production capacity of Goldfinger, there is a high probability that one and a half regiments of fine weapons and equipment, mainly light weapons, can be produced in a week. In one month, there is a high probability that one and a half divisions and more than 10,000 people can be equipped with equipment. Taking into account the current production capacity of the military factory, it can be stabilized at about two and a half divisions a month. Because the production capacity of military factories is increasing every day. One hundred thousand men may seem like a lot, but in reality they are only five or six divisions. It can be provided in two to three months. In addition, the Gui system requires a certain amount of preparation time, so it should be just right. However, this will delay the expansion of the Sichuan Army and the implementation of a series of plans. The current way to solve this problem is to first increase the production capacity of the military factory. This will take time and cannot be rushed. The rest is goldfinger. But only when more Japanese troops are eliminated can Goldfinger's rank be improved, and the number of times he chops down trees will also increase. ‘Then the only way is to attack Borneo. ’ Cun Yunsheng murmured in his heart. Before that, what needs to be done is to expand the army. According to Stilwell's order, the strength of the Sichuan Army was still too small and more soldiers were needed. As for how to expand the army, he doesn't care.
The only requirement is that when he issues the order, enough soldiers can be produced. "The Fourth War Zone's victory over Jiangcheng will be of great help to us, so their request must be agreed to, but it is not a free gift. They need to pay real money." Cun Yunsheng said. What a joke! He doesn't have the family background of a Yankee, how dare he boast about this kind of Haikou. Moreover, he also planned to ask Stilwell to reimburse him for all this. fine! Now Stilwell can't take it out! It doesn't mean you can't take it out later. According to Stilwell's request, it was only a matter of time until one million natives were sent over to dredge the canal. There are enough people for the British to build another canal. Therefore, he must take advantage of this time to expand his base. "How is the recruitment speed around Hanoi?" Cun Yunsheng asked with concern. "Most of it has been cleared so far, but there are so many unclaimed lands and houses left. How to solve it?" Meng Fangliaohui reported. "It's very simple. Didn't we send a group of hungry people? Let them settle here and allocate fields to them. In addition, I am going to allocate land to all the officers and soldiers." Cun Yunsheng suddenly expressed his thoughts It took a long time. How to improve the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the troops. This is the question that Cun Yunsheng has been thinking about during this period of time. When he was in Zenda, he relied on high welfare, supplementary military pay, and American equipment to improve the morale of the troops. When there's a fight, he rushes straight in without any hesitation. But during this period, after his investigation, the combat effectiveness of the army began to decline seriously. Even if the training intensity is increased, it will be like that. Even if the benefits are already very high, they still cannot be improved much. According to the progress of guerrillas, morale has reached a bottleneck period at this time, and it is difficult to rely on these external objects to improve. Therefore, we must find another way. But after referring to many examples, Cun Yunsheng felt that it was not realistic. In the end, I felt that dividing the fields would be more effective. The reason for doing this is simply that the combat effectiveness of the troops has improved too slowly. He must make the soldiers dare to fight and enjoy fighting instead of being timid. "Tuan Zuo, how do you plan to divide it up?" Meng Fangliao asked doubtfully.
"Did you pay for it out of your own pocket and buy it from China?" No wonder Meng Fanglia had this doubt, he had never thought about passing the land in Hanoi. "Where is this?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile. "Hanoi." Meng Fangliao asked puzzledly. "Where was it before?" "Cochin?" After all, Meng Fanglia had read poetry and books, and was not a fool. He immediately understood the meaning of Cun Yunsheng's words. "Are you going to give the land in Hanoi to those officers and soldiers?" "Why not?" Cun Yunsheng asked. "In front of us is Zhennanguan, where Mr. Liu fought against the French army." "So, this place has been ours since ancient times." "What are you worried about when we get our own land?" All right! Meng Fan was speechless after these words. Because it does make sense! He didn't know how to refute. "Don't worry about this, don't worry about that. It's heartbreaking that so much land is so deserted. We must also learn from Du Yuming and others and make enough food and clothing by ourselves." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully. (End of chapter)
