Meng Yuting was lying on the bed, constantly thinking about every word Zhou Wen said during the day and at the wine table. His heart was ups and downs, and he could not calm down for a long time.
Zhou Wen's words expressed several meanings. One is that from now on, there will no longer be any distinction between internal and external, but all the more than a thousand brothers in the regiment will be treated equally and become official members of the Tiger Mercenary Group.
This move not only eased the hearts of new officers like myself, but also greatly boosted the military morale of other officers and soldiers. Especially those ordinary soldiers who were brought out by Zhou Wen single-handedly, and with such good treatment and special cherishment and value of their lives, they have long regarded him as a god in their hearts. Who dares not to die for him now? Kill two birds with one stone.
Another one is to clearly express his thirst for talents and the mentality of entrusting people like him with important tasks. At the same time, he also makes people like himself understand the responsibility behind the important tasks, the burden on their shoulders, and the sense of urgency. This is what he Today we have the key to choosing whether to stay or go.
The third one is the possibility of going to the battlefield to fight the Japanese in the near future. Meng Yuting guessed that this was Zhou Wen getting some kind of news or hint from the relevant higher-ups, but he believed that it was definitely not groundless, and it must be very possible.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuting felt even more excited. Isn't it my biggest wish since the September 18th Incident to be able to fight the Japanese face to face? No longer helplessly stay on the sidelines, and use what I have learned throughout my life to let any arrogant nation see what a real Chinese man is.
At this moment, I heard a voice coming from the bed next door: "Yuting, aren't you asleep too?"
It turned out that Chen Wanli couldn't sleep either. He heard the movement in Meng Yuting next door and asked.
"Yeah, didn't you fall asleep too?"
After hearing this, Chen Wanli simply turned over and sat up. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket on the bedside, threw one across the bed to Meng Yuting, took out a match, lit one himself, and smoked hard. After taking a sip, the brightness of the cigarette butt reflected his twinkling eyes.
"Yuting, do you think there will be brothers who won't come when we gather tomorrow?"
Meng Yuting also sat up, and while reaching out to Chen Wanli for a match, he said, "No, I'm sure the scholar's words today have completely impressed the brothers, and they won't hesitate anymore."
"Yes, this scholar is very capable of understanding things with reason and moving things with emotion. If nothing else, what I saw today was shocking enough.
Hey, tell me, have we ever seen such elite recruits in the Soviet Union? This afternoon we took a quick tour of these training grounds. The infantry's tactical movements and marksmanship were all cultivated by snipers in the Soviet Union. Now I finally understand why the commander-in-chief and others say that scholars are used to shooting black guns. They are snipers on the battlefield.
Tsk tsk... I am tempted by these infantry, not to mention the artillery and machine gunners. You can't move until you see Lao Zhu and the others standing in front of the Schneider infantry cannons. They are the best infantry cannons in the world. , very suitable for the Chinese battlefield. "
Meng Yuting also lit up the cigarette in his hand at this time, took a deep breath and said: "Yes, what the scholar means, we will lead these soldiers in the future. They have laid the foundation for you, and it will be up to us later." I’m very skilled at it, but to be honest, it’s still a bit stressful.”
"There is motivation only when there is pressure. With these good soldiers and such good equipment, in the hands of our brothers, we will definitely have fun. Look at the equipment, from head to toe, none of it is out of this world." The best and most advanced ones. Which of the brothers in their first detachment had better weapons was the Somi submachine gun. The scholar said one cost five hundred dollars.
Also, if the infantry company of the second detachment needs to be equipped in the future, how much will it cost? "
"That's why I said there is pressure. With such good conditions, if we don't practice this shield, we will really fail to live up to what we have learned. And according to the scholar's intention, the first team is to be used as a special force, haha, Special operations, it’s a shame he could think of such an appropriate name.” Meng Yuting sighed.
"Actually, the scouts in the Soviet army also have this idea, but they haven't risen to the level of strategy, and they don't have the incisive theories of scholars. It seems that he is right. He is the only person in the world who can truly command special operations. ." Chen Wanli said.
"This is where my pressure lies. I can also understand the special warfare theory he talked about, and I also know that if it is used well, it can play a decisive role in campaigns and even wars. However, I have just begun to learn and understand this aspect. "Exploring, I don't know how to train and command this shield in the future, how to coordinate it with their spears, and how to attack and defend together." Meng Yuting took a puff of his cigarette melancholy and thought hard.
Chen Wanli slapped his thigh and said: "It's simple, Yuting, you've got yourself into a corner. Think about it, what does the scholar need? What is his tactical intention? The reason why our second team is called the backing of the mercenary group by him , which means that when he leads a detachment to attack a fortress or perform special operations, we will either follow them to expand the depth of the attack, or we will keep an eye on their retreat and provide fire support. If necessary, we can also penetrate in and pick them out. .”
Meng Yuting understood in an instant, "Yes, we don't need to understand special tactics, but as long as we understand the scholar's tactical intentions, isn't this a replica of the combined warfare of various arms? We just need to understand his combat purposes. to plan and direct.”
Chen Wanli also became excited, took a deep breath, blew out the smoke and said: "That's right, isn't the combat power and breakthrough ability of their unit just like humanoid tanks? We just need to treat them as tanks to cooperate, that is, use Su The army has a large depth and uses the combined combat tactics of various arms.
Think about it, there are just over a thousand of us, and it is impossible for us to go directly to the front line in large-scale battles in the future. The elites trained by scholars with painstaking efforts will definitely not be used in a war of attrition. Just take a look. His tactics in the Central Plains war were all outstanding, and every move hit the enemy's weak link...ahem...that's wrong, the commander-in-chief is not the enemy...hehe! What I mean is that our future battles will definitely be battles that may not be large in scale, but will play a key role.
If we can use these more than a thousand people like arms and fingers, and use our flexibility and maneuverability to eat the enemy, they will be like tigers descending from the mountain. If we take advantage of our fast attack speed, fierce firepower, and superior ability to attack difficulties, we can defeat the enemy in a short period of time. An equal number of our enemies will be swallowed up. If you can't eat it, you can also use our strong mobility and fast transfer speed to escape even if you miss a hit. "
