"It's amazing that you can understand so many things just by reading books! Come on, let's go to the scene together." The group leader is also a man of action. He took Wen San and drove away, going to various firepower points for on-site inspection.
While heading to various firepower points, Wen San suddenly remembered another problem: after the Japanese failed to attack on the 27th, they cut off the water supply and power supply to the entire warehouse that day. It caused a lot of trouble to the defenders inside.
Wen San immediately raised this question again. The two officers were shocked. Many places in the warehouse were closed spaces, and it was very troublesome without lighting. Not to mention the water source. With so many people, it will be very troublesome if there is no water to drink.
Before the Japanese came, the group leader immediately made arrangements to solve these two problems.
Wen San considered the issue quite comprehensively, which impressed the two officers. They all ignored this issue. If Wen San hadn't raised it in advance, there would have been a lot of trouble.
Wen San just smiled. This was not something he thought up, but he just knew this history. When the war comes, who will pay attention to the problems in life?
The three of them walked and talked. It didn't look like a superior-subordinate relationship, but rather it felt like old friends chatting together.
Many company and platoon cadres were confused when they saw this situation, not knowing what was going on. Because when several people were talking, the regimental commander and battalion commander would seriously ask Wen San for his opinions, and his attitude was quite kind.
Wen San answered very naturally, without stage fright or avoiding anything, which made many soldiers look at Wen San with admiration.
The soldiers in this battalion, both company and platoon cadres and the soldiers below, have all heard about Wen San. Many people have seen Wen San's training of the troops, including the on-site exercises, which is refreshing.
Now that he has been appreciated by the regiment commander and battalion commander, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. In the eyes of many soldiers, Wen San's status suddenly rose a lot. Even the platoon leader showed envy. You must know that many times they don't get a good look from their superiors.
The three of them walked around together and spent more than an hour looking at all the garrison positions. The two commanders personally explained to him their combat intentions, as well as the key points and purposes of firepower arrangements, how to match each other, etc.
This trip was equivalent to on-site guidance for Wen San, which greatly improved his command ability. This laid a solid foundation for him to become a senior commander.
During this process, Wen San actually didn't say much. He spent a lot of time listening to the explanations of the two officers. However, his occasional words could make the two officers' eyes light up. The respect for him has increased a bit, and he really takes him seriously as his brother.
After patrolling everywhere, the three returned to the command room.
"Wen Youcai, Battalion Commander Yang said that your platoon's combat effectiveness was very strong. I didn't really believe it before. Now I not only believe it, but I even think that Battalion Commander Yang may have underestimated your combat effectiveness. Tell me, what should I do? How do you use the platoon you have?"
"Actually, I have already thought about it. If the two officers can be trusted, I want to put my row on the top floor." Wen San said without hesitation.
As mentioned before, in this defensive battle, the roof of the warehouse is the most dangerous place. Of course, it is also the place where you can see the battlefield situation clearly and where it is easiest to eliminate the devils.
"Go to the roof? That's the most dangerous place. Tell me what you think!" The leader's face was extremely serious.
A qualified commander must be brave and resourceful.
Courage but lack of strategy are the qualities of an ordinary man. Although he can fight bloody battles, it is difficult for him to control a team well, let alone exercise leadership. Those who only have strategies but are not good at fighting are just talking about war on paper. At best, they can only become a qualified counselor, but it is difficult to become a stand-alone general.
"The roof of the building is indeed dangerous! Once a battle starts, most of the artillery fire will fall on the roof of the building. Therefore, the soldiers stationed on the roof of the building need to be more flexible in combat and adjust their combat position at any time. My platoon is just right for the job. Sir, please trust me in this."
"Although fighting on the rooftop is dangerous, it is more efficient in fighting the Japanese, and it can also share the combat pressure of friendly forces. There is no obstruction on the top floor, and I can quickly deploy my troops in any direction to reinforce friendly forces."
Wen San really hit the mark on these two points. The group leader had been considering this issue before. He placed the two most capable ones on the roof of the building, but he still felt uneasy. Because this is really a test of the commander's ability.
Wen San was able to explain all these aspects clearly, so he obviously had a plan in mind. With his commanding ability, the regiment leader is indeed at ease.
However, the two officers also didn't know something. Wen San also had his own ideas as to why he asked to be stationed on the roof of the building.
First of all, by fighting on the rooftop, he can make the most of his special abilities. You can quickly and accurately determine where the enemy is coming from and the approximate distance, which will bring great benefits to the battle.
Secondly, the view here is wide and the battlefield situation can be accurately grasped. It is the best place to exercise one's command ability. Having just learned a lot from the two officers, Wen San was eager to integrate this knowledge into his own military system. Because he is very sure of his direction. One day, he will lead his own troops on his own, and independent operations will become the norm.
Another point is that Wen San wants to increase his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers as soon as possible. In the first camp, it is necessary to establish a character who can make good plans. Because he knew very well the fate of the soldiers of the First Battalion: after the end of the war, the First Battalion was disarmed as soon as it retreated into the American and British concessions, and was finally sent to the Italian defense zone and placed under house arrest for a long time.
When people in later generations see this result, they are often so heartbroken that they can hardly breathe. Each of them is a staunch hero, but they were arbitrarily humiliated by the foreign powers. They were held like prisoners for many years without the respect and human rights they deserved.
A few years later, the regiment leader was also killed by a traitor bribed by the Japanese, and died at the age of 37. A hero dies young and dies for his country without using his skills.
This is definitely not the result Wen San wants to see. If he hadn't traveled to this world, he wouldn't be able to care about it. But he came and directly joined this heroic army.
He really didn't want to see something like this happen again, and hoped that he could use his little butterfly wings to flap the breeze that would change the trajectory of history.
So I tried my best to show my talents, use this battle to expand my influence, and try my best to persuade the two officers to lead troops to break out, instead of accepting the arrangements of international friends who seemed friendly but were actually like evil wolves.
Of course, if he could not persuade the two officers, he would not lead his team to the concession. Even if he ends up falling out with the two officers, he will take some soldiers and risk leaving.
The higher his prestige is, the more people will be willing to follow him. These soldiers are of high quality and will become his powerful team to fight against the Japanese.
