"I called you back this time to talk about some things, but before that, Commander Fang, tell me about the casualties in the battle with the Imperial Guard.”Zhou Weiguo looked at Fang Shengli and said.
"In this battle, we wiped out the Imperial Guards and killed more than 8,000 people. Our 101st Division lost more than 1,900 people and injured more than 2,000 people. About 1,800 people were able to recover and return to the army. Overall, our 101st Division won a beautiful victory this time!”
"En, not bad!" Zhou Weiguo nodded and said," The dead and wounded soldiers must be buried in peace. At the same time, the compensation must be sent to their families. At the same time, those who are disabled and can't go to the battlefield must be taken care of. We can't let them die just because they are disabled on the battlefield!”
"Yes, sir!" Fang Shengli saluted and said,""I'll do it immediately after the meeting!”
"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo nodded." Also, those who performed outstandingly in this battle should be promoted. Those who have talent in commanding should also be promoted. This is wartime, and it's a critical period. We might even need to recruit soldiers next!”
"Our basic middle and low-level officers have a lower level of military attainment. You should prepare yourself. In the future, platoon-level officers will have to go to the Military Academy every week to receive education when they are not in wartime!”Zhou Weiguo said.
"Martial lecture hall?" The group leaders looked at each other in confusion.
"That's right. I'm going to set up a military lecture hall next. I'll let the reserve platoon officers and the current platoon officers receive education in the military lecture hall and teach them some systematic military combat knowledge!”
"The purpose of the lecture hall is to cultivate the military knowledge of middle and low-level officers, so that the platoon-level officers can understand some basic trends and knowledge of modern warfare!”Zhou Weiguo said.
"Not only that, but I've also set up a modern military warfare course for regimental officers. Zhou Yi and I will give lectures to you. All regimental officers or reserve officers will attend the class. I will give an assessment to those who fail the assessment.”
"Master, why are you suddenly thinking of opening a lecture hall and military warfare classes?”Zhang Xianyu said. This fellow used to be a boor. He was able to get to his current position as a regiment commander because he was brave enough to fight to the death in the war. That was why he risked his life to get to his current position as a regiment commander.
"We're all boorish people. We don't know how to read. It's better to let them fight the Japanese than let them go to school.”Zhang Xianyu said.
"Foolish!" Zhou Weiguo's expression turned serious." You still know that he's a boor?" he asked. Since he's a boor, he should learn even more. Tell me, how do we fight in our country now?”
After being scolded by Zhou Weiguo, Zhang Xianyu shrunk his head and said in a low voice," We'll just wait for the enemy to come and shoot them. If they run away, we'll chase them like a swarm of bees…But ever since the Japanese came, it was basically the Japanese who chased after our troops. Our troops were often defeated by the Japanese's inferior forces…" The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. Clearly, he also felt that this was not a good way to fight.
"You still know? Then tell me, how did our 101st Division fight the Japanese's Imperial Guards Cultural Brigade last time?”Zhou Weiguo asked.
Speaking of this, Zhang Xianyu became spirited and said,"In the last war, didn't we lure the Japanese's vanguard, the 25th Infantry Brigade, into the encirclement and surround them with superior strength? Then, we surrounded the reinforcements and waited for the Japanese's main force to come. Then, we used artillery to bombard them. After that, our 3rd Regiment and Commander Chu's 4th Regiment surrounded the Japanese!”
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said,"You know that."”
"Hehe, this is what you told me last time!”
"Then tell me, if our 101st Division doesn't have any heavy artillery or superior firepower, what will happen to us?”Zhou Weiguo asked.
" No heavy artillery, no superior firepower..." Zhang Xianyu pondered for a while and said,""Then our 101st division will be like the other troops of the Republic of China, beaten up by the Japanese army!”
When Zhang Xianyu said this, his expression was solemn. The other regiment commanders were also deep in thought. Clearly, they vaguely understood Zhou Weiguo's intentions.
"In this battle, if we don't have the advantage of guns, numbers, and geographical advantage, then our 2nd Regiment probably won't even be able to stop the 25th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army. If we can't stop them, the main force of the Japanese Army will march straight in, and the 101st Division will be wiped out!”
"Ever since the Japanese came to the battlefield of the Republic of China, whether it was the collapse of the Northeast Army, the Great Wall War, the Battle of Songhu, or even the Battle of Nanjing, our Republic of China had invested ten times or even ten times more troops than the Japanese army. Moreover, we defended the city and had the advantage, but why couldn't we hold on?”
"During the war in Shanghai, there were more than 100 Japanese soldiers chasing the 100,000 troops of the Republic of China. The reason for this is that the Republic of China is weak, and firearms are not good. The most important reason is that the military commanders and warlords of our Republic of China still have a war consciousness from decades ago!”
" You must know that modern warfare is developing with each passing day. It would be strange if you didn't lose if you fought a war with the awareness of war decades ago!”
"Do you know that when I was studying at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, they had advanced war theories? General Guderian was a friend of mine. He was an outstanding military theorist. At that time, he had already proposed the war theory of mechanized troops. He once told me that armored troops were independently organized and used in a concentrated manner. In combat, tanks, aircraft, infantry, and artillery were used to achieve rapid victory!”
