In fact, taking the current Shaoshuai Zhang as an example, his situation is very similar to that of Chairman Han later, and even worse than Chairman Han's performance. After all, Chairman Han fought a lot with the Japanese in the early bloody battle in Texas, and lost more than half of the three main divisions. Marshal Zhang's Northeastern Army, on the other hand, slipped out of the Northeast without even having an encounter with the Japanese. The impact it caused was so bad and the losses it caused were so great that it was difficult for the later Chairman Han to match them.
Regarding Shaoshuai Zhang’s non-resistance in the Northeast, Zhou Wen had read a comment before and thought it made sense: When outsiders came into the house, the dog even barked twice, and the Japanese broke in and occupied my home and killed my people. Shaoshuai Zhang couldn’t even make a sound. He ran away before he got out. The consequences were that 30 million people fell into the hands of the enemy, countless weapons and equipment were given away, large tracts of black land were occupied, and China lost its most important strategic buffer zone, which caused immeasurable negative impacts and at the same time encouraged Japan to invade China. arrogance.
But Zhou Wen couldn't tell these things to his brothers. He looked at Miaohua's eyes that were also bloody, sighed secretly, and said: "Brother, you overestimated Marshal Zhang. Is this what I just said?" Bottom line.”
After hearing this, Miaohua's eyes widened and her eyes seemed to burst out with fire. She slapped the table and shouted: "This thief, I want to kill him, I want to kill him..."
Zhou Wen held down Miaohua who was about to go berserk, looked at the brothers who also had fire-breathing eyes, and said softly: "Brothers, this is why I tried every means to lead you to establish a mercenary group. Our country has been doing this for decades. Civil wars continue, and warlords abound, each with their own interests and their own agendas. Although the country is nominally unified, in reality it is a fragmented mess. It is only when the Japanese see clearly the predicament of our country that they have the ambition to swallow us up. China.
I have told you before that this is only the first step and the beginning of Japan's invasion of China. In the future, they will press harder and harder and continue to encroach into China, until our Chinese government and people can no longer bear it, can no longer give in, and can only rise up to resist.
So now you should be very clear about the ultimate goal of our continuous training and fighting for more than two years. I just want to prepare for the final war of resistance. I want to train my brothers to become killing machines on the battlefield, killing machines designed to kill the Japanese. I want the blood of the Japanese to flow dry on the land of China.
I guess that after the Japanese invasion of Northeast China is successful, they will definitely not be satisfied and will definitely stir up trouble in other places. By then, the Chinese army will definitely fight back, and we will be able to come in handy. So our next step is to conduct purposeful and targeted training. Bury your hatred for the Japanese in your heart first, and when the time comes, you can settle old and new accounts together. "
At this time, Gao Xiaoshan said with tears in his eyes: "Awen, what if someone doesn't resist again? Such an army and such a government are really unbelievable. I'm afraid that in the end..."
"No, I believe it won't happen anymore. After all, the majority of Chinese soldiers with blood and national righteousness still make up the majority. When the country is in crisis, there will always be countless heroes and patriots who stand up and sacrifice their lives with bravery, blood and lives. Come and defend our country and nation. For example, we have met Chief Qian, Chief Zhang, Brother Zhao, and a group of national elites who are now fighting hard for their ideals and doctrines. For example, we..."
When Zhou Wen talked about us, everyone in the room stood up with their chests raised, their faces full of fearless solemnity, and their eyes shining with unyielding light.
…
As bad news from the Northeast continued to spread, Zhou Wen continued to organize mercenary groups and affiliated troops to hold discussions, and seized this opportunity to instill in all the soldiers the evil deeds of Japan's invasion of the Northeast and its wolfish ambition to eventually annex China. He just wants to plant a seed in the hearts of the brothers, a seed of resistance against Japan, and let every soldier know the purpose of training and combat and the heavy responsibility they shoulder.
Zhou Wen firmly believes that only soldiers with a sense of mission and responsibility can be truly fearless and dare to sacrifice and shed blood. Zhou Wen's purpose was not only to train and arm them with military skills and equipment, but also to make them clear their goals and directions spiritually and ideologically. This is also the magic weapon that will make the army of the Republic invincible and invincible in later generations.
Zhou Wen now wants to turn bad things into good things, and turn the bad news since the September 18th Incident, the negative effects that have affected morale and made soldiers confused, humiliated and unwilling, into incentives, encouragement and motivation. Let brothers know why they train and who they fight for.
With goals and motivation, the mercenary regiment and its affiliated troops devoted themselves to Tao training with more passion and energy than ever before. Zhou Wen also announced that the next time there is a battle against Japan, he will definitely bring his troops to fight, but those who are lagging behind in training will stay to look after the family. After all, the base camp still needs to be guarded.
This has further stimulated the enthusiasm and initiative of the soldiers. Not to mention the brothers of the mercenary group, the officers and soldiers of the affiliated units have begun to work hard. It is normal to work overtime and train independently, and even a few people still Injuries and fainting occurred. Under the conditions of open supply of bullets and artillery shells, the training results are very remarkable. Especially the training of the mountain artillery company and the mortar company, Zhou Wen personally took charge of it, mainly because during next year's Songhu Anti-Japanese War, these two companies will be directly involved in front-line operations and will be a strong backing for the mercenary group.
Originally, in a battle as large as the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, there were great dangers and many uncontrollable factors for the mercenary group to enter the front line. The small-scale special warfare mode of the mercenary group determines that their most suitable battlefield is not to fight the enemy in the front-line position, but to flexibly find the enemy's vital points and weak links and retreat with one blow. However, the battlefields of the one-month-long Songhu Anti-Japanese War were basically located on the front lines of Zhabei and Baoshan in Shanghai, and the deployment of troops on both sides had no concealment at all. Only when the Japanese troops landed at Liuhe in the later period did the battlefield become wider.
In such a small fighting area and scope, it is basically impossible for Zhou Wen to use the tactics of interspersed raids during the Central Plains War. If he only uses harassment and sniping tactics, it will be too simple and unsatisfying, and will not be able to fully release the mercenary group's combat power. force. In addition, now that the brothers are affected by the September 18th Incident, Zhou Wen knows that he must win a hearty victory against the Japanese army on the battlefield, so that the bad breath that has been suppressed in the brothers' chests can be completely vented, otherwise the previous The ideological work is wasted. And this is also the wish of everyone, including Zhou Wen, the wish of an ambitious Chinese soldier.
