Zhou Wen was despised in his heart but did not dare to say more. He quickly said: "Reserves are a military service system implemented by powerful countries including Japan. Simply put, they are reserve soldiers of active troops. All reservists are not active soldiers. But most of them are retired soldiers, because they have served in the military and received formal military training, so they are the most ideal and suitable first batch of mobilization targets when the army expands after the war breaks out."
The commander's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was an expert. He immediately understood the benefits of the reserve system and couldn't help but feel proud of his ability to recognize people. You know this kid has something in his heart, and he won't be willing to take it out without forcing him. Now let's take out the real thing.
He quickly urged: "Tell me quickly, how can I do it?"
Zhou Wen smiled slightly and said: "This reserve force is hard to say in other parts of China, but we have the conditions to establish it in Shanxi. You are now the leader of Shanxi's military and political affairs. This kind of system that requires the cooperation of the army and local governments is in your hands." It's not a piece of cake yet.
If we only have an establishment of 200,000 people now, you would always strive to replace all the soldiers within one or two years, but the officers and key personnel cannot be replaced. Not only cannot they be replaced, but they must also be strengthened. For example, the existing establishment only limits the number of our soldiers, but does not limit the number of our officers. Each of our grassroots units is equipped with two squads of officers, twice as many officers, and one change of soldiers. This is the method. "
"High...it's really high! This little bastard is a capable man. It's a shame he can think of such a good method. In less than five years, the old man will have more than 200,000 reserve soldiers, and they are all trained It only takes a few days for the veteran to get familiar with it and he can be mobilized on the battlefield. When the war breaks out and the old man mobilizes an anti-Japanese army of 500,000, who in Nanjing will be blinded? Hehe...hehehe!" The commander thought to himself. Zhou Wen was greatly impressed.
Zhou Wen saw the commander's happiness, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "But this must have a prerequisite, which is to establish a military affiliation system. In this case, those officers and soldiers who retired but were classified as reserve forces will still enjoy the preferential policies of military affiliations. , when your old call comes, he will have to report obediently, otherwise he will spit out all the benefits and care he has received over the years. Do you always say that they are willing to give up?
But if there is no military affiliation system, they will have no obligation to serve as soldiers again after they retire. After all, not everyone has the ideological consciousness to protect their home and country. If they become the same as before, their combat effectiveness will be questionable. "
"Build it, of course it must be built. The military dependent system and the martyred dependent system must be established. How can we not use such a good method? You don't have to hint to me in a roundabout way. Old man, I don't know the benefits of this system?" The commander slapped his thigh. He agreed, stood up at the same time, and walked around the room excitedly, saying as he walked: "Not only the security system for soldiers, but also the methods you used to deal with the Japanese army, you have also compiled some materials. The old man will study them. If feasible, promote it to the entire army.”
Having said this, I remembered that Zhou Wen had other strategies to talk about, so he patted his forehead and sat down again, "Tell me, go on, what else is there?"
Zhou Wen knew at a glance that today's talk was not in vain. He was a famous figure in history and knew what was important and what was important. So he continued: "In the military, the reserve force solves the problem of soldier resources, and then there is the problem of training officers. We are now living with our tail between our legs. We cannot violate Nanjing's taboos and forget about building an officer school." I no longer pay attention to the commander's gloomy face after being poked in a painful spot again. You're a little boy, we're not used to it. Anyway, you'll get used to it after hearing it a few times.
"But we can hold training classes for officers, one at a time, and recruit new and old officers to study systematically. Seniors who have graduated from regular military academies will be the instructors. Only those who graduate from the training class can take up full-time positions. In this case, the officer problem is also solved.
It’s easy to get the equipment. Don’t we still have the Taiyuan Arsenal? At least it can be self-sufficient. It’s just my nephew’s suggestion that all weapons and equipment should be made according to the requirements of mountain warfare. For example, we don’t need too many large-caliber artillery. They are used for positional warfare and decisive battles. They are not in line with our bite-and-go strategy. With Japan occupying air superiority, the transfer and transportation of bulky large-caliber artillery will become a problem. . Mortars and mountain artillery are powerful weapons in mountain warfare, and arsenals can produce them in large quantities. Light machine guns and submachine guns are also powerful weapons for killing enemies. Our soldiers' individual rifle shooting skills are not as good as others, so we use automatic firepower to make up for it.
There is also the Type 65 rifle invented by my nephew. If possible, all of them will be equipped. If not, each squad will be guaranteed to have two. You always think that in the future, a squad of our Jin army will have a light machine gun, two submachine guns, and two Type 65 semi-automatic rifles. The automatic firepower of this individual soldier will exceed that of the Japanese army. If we can equip the company with mortars, If you rank one level, you will surpass the little devil in all aspects. No matter how much we develop artillery, especially mountain artillery, we will not be able to catch up with the Japanese in terms of heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, but our firepower at the company and platoon level must comprehensively surpass them.
After a long period of targeted and systematic training, when the war breaks out, you and the Jin army under your command will definitely be able to give the people of the country a big surprise. You will definitely become the leading figure in the country's resistance to Japan. "
"Go, go, don't put a high hat on the old man. No matter how good the fight is, who else will have this credit? After all, the war of resistance was carried out under the leadership of others. It was all because of their good leadership. , thanks to the conductor Ruoding, old man, I just hope that I won’t be poked in the spine by then so that I can feel at ease.”
The resentment and sourness exuding from the commander-in-chief at this time was like the black smoke rising from the chimney of the Lishi Iron and Steel Plant, rising into the sky in streams.
Zhou Wen secretly laughed in his heart. This person has not digested the sadness after the failure of the Central Plains War. It is because he ate a grape that cannot be digested and it is stuck in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Wen didn't speak for a long time, the commander was unhappy. He said with a tiger face again: "What? Are you a stubborn donkey who only takes a step forward after being whipped? Now that we have talked about military matters, what about other aspects?"
Zhou Wen said with a bitter face: "The other aspects are nothing more than politics and economics. Politically, my nephew is like a young child. He has no great opinions, but he dare not make random remarks. In terms of economics, you are always an expert. Preparations before war You are very familiar with work, and if you really want to say it, it means 'digging a hole deeply and accumulating grain widely'."
