Chapter 42
"But how long has it been? In just two to three days, plus at most one night, the two of them had caused the Empire to suffer a loss of about 15,000 people. They should be loyal to His Majesty.”
Muto Shingi could not suppress the rage in his heart when he heard what Zhao had said. He was getting closer and closer to becoming Marshal Feng, but this situation had actually occurred at such a critical time.
The 8th and 11th divisions under his command suffered heavy losses, losing 15,000 men. How could he endure this?
If someone used this matter to stop him, would there be a commotion?
That was why Muto Shingi was so angry.
"Actually, Commander, we were wrong from the beginning. Maybe we can change our strategy!”
Zhao thought for a moment and said to Muto Shingi.
"Hmm? Koizo-kun, what do you think?”
Muto Shingi slowly calmed down. He also knew that there was no point in scolding now, so he had to think of a remedy.
Previously, Ma Zhanshan was still very strong in the Hei Long River. How did we eliminate him?”
Zhao looked at Muto Shingi and asked softly.
Previously, the Japanese army did not have many troops in the northeast. Muto Shingi thought that his own forces were not many, and Ma Zhanshan's strength was not low. If they fought head-on and caused their losses, they might have to change their plan to take the northeast. Therefore, in order to deal with Ma Zhanshan, they first gave Ma Zhanshan a lot of benefits, and then swallowed him like a frog in warm water.
At that time, Ma Zhanshan also wanted to recruit the Northeast Army and the Japanese army, but the Japanese army was better than him, so in the end, Ma Zhanshan failed.
And now, Little Ji Kuniaki wanted to use this move on Zhao Wenbin.
"Are you saying that we will use the position of the head of Heilongjiang Province to tempt Zhao Wenbin into surrendering to us? And then slowly eliminate his strength?”
Muto Shingi's eyes flashed as he looked at Koji Kuniaki and asked.
"Yes, I am! Commander. "If Zhao Wenbin is honest, we only need to slowly strip him of his military power. If he isn't honest, we can take advantage of the situation to get rid of him!”
Kuniaki made a throat-cutting gesture.
"Yuxi! Little Ji Jun, I'll leave this mission to you.”
Muto Shingi nodded his head in satisfaction. To be honest, he had some votes before this. He thought that no matter what, he was going to be made a marshal. He definitely could not use the previous policy of appeasement against the Chinese army.
Japan was a country that advocated martial arts, so he wanted to directly destroy Zhao Wenbin.

Mudanjiang City
Although the war was over, Zhao Wenbin did not move his command center back to Jixi County and Jidong County. Instead, he moved all the food there to Mudanjiang. He also secretly moved his Infinite War Machine underground in Mudanjiang for convenience.
General Headquarters
"Commander-in-chief, according to this battle, our army currently lacks automatic weapons. During this attack, when our army rushed in front of the Japanese army, we could only shoot at the Japanese army from the position because we did not have enough automatic weapons. If we have an automatic weapon and use it in large quantities, we can solve this problem.
In close combat, we don't have to fight with the Japanese army with a lot of daggers or even shoot at each other…"
They were currently in a meeting to conclude the post-war meeting.，
Li Ergou stood up and looked at Zhao Wenbin and the other officers.
This time, the casualties of their entire army were around 6,000 people. The reason for such a large number of casualties was mainly due to the lack of automatic firepower, which led them to charge into the Japanese positions. In order to avoid fighting with the Japanese, they could only shoot at the Japanese.
If they had an automatic weapon, this wouldn't have happened.
After Li Ergou finished speaking, Zhao Wenbin slowly lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep puff.
The second regiment commander, Wang Tiedan, also nodded and said,"Yes! If we had an automatic firepower, we could reduce the casualties by at least a third. Many of my soldiers rushed up and immediately looked for cover to shoot at the Japanese. Originally, when we just rushed into the Japanese army's position, the Japanese army had yet to react.
However, because we were unable to quickly deal with the Japanese army, the Japanese army reacted and caused a lot of casualties to our troops!”
Automatic firepower. Previously, Zhao Wenbin had considered that the logistics ability of the troops was not strong. If there were too many ammunition calibers, it might cause logistics chaos. After that, he did not have the time to equip automatic firepower. But this time, the soldiers were paying for the logistics.
After smoking a cigarette, Zhao Wenbin looked at them and said,"Yes! You guys are right. We are indeed lacking an automatic firepower. Therefore, I have decided to equip the entire army with a submachine gun in three days to supplement our firepower in close combat.”
The officers below heaved a sigh of relief.
"All of you can leave! He wrote down all his insights from this battle. In addition, the various infantry regiments seized the time to set up recruitment offices around the area. Then, they sent the recruits to the recruit camp in the headquarters for unified training and then distribution. In addition, regarding the lack of personnel in the various infantry regiments, I will transfer a portion of soldiers from the 8th and 7th infantry regiments to supplement your infantry regiments.
As for those who were still lacking, they were temporarily left empty, waiting for the wounded soldiers to return. During this period of time, all your troops should also take time to rest and train!”
Zhao Wenbin already had an idea in his mind. After he went down, he was ready to prepare the Suomi M1931 submachine gun for the army.
This submachine gun was probably not recognized by many people. They might not even know what kind of submachine gun it was. However, if it was changed to another name, many people would know that it was the best submachine gun in history before World War II, the Somi submachine gun.
...........
Next, what Zhao Wenbin had to do was recruit, train, train infantry, and train artillery. In addition, Zhao Wenbin was also thinking of opening an officer training class. Now that the army was expanding, the number of officers needed was increasing. Other than the first and second batch of officers who had a solid foundation, many of the officers at the back felt like they were chasing ducks.
He needed to set up a military officer training class to train those officers.
Just as Zhao Wenbin was busy, a Japanese military officer wearing a Japanese military uniform came to Hailin County.
