Zhou Wen sighed again: "Oh! If there is no holiday this time, I'm afraid that some brothers will never have a chance to go home. I don't know how big the scale of the war will be. But it is foreseeable that in Shanghai, Japan People's naval superiority can be brought into full play. One of those large-caliber naval gun shells can blow up a building. By then, any unexpected situation may occur, and casualties are inevitable."
Meng Yuting felt heavy after hearing this. In the past month, he knew the quality of the soldiers Zhou Wen gave him. Their fighting skills could not be better. The individual soldiers were of high quality, strong discipline, and basically Able to read, read, and recognize maps, everyone is smart and eager to learn, and can quickly grasp any tactical essentials.
With these qualities alone, they are the seeds that can be passed down from generation to generation in the army. In other armies, let alone starting as a platoon leader.
Who doesn't like this kind of soldier? Who doesn't cherish it? Besides, in the past month, Meng Yuting and the others have been hanging out with the soldiers every day, and they have long been recognized and respected by the soldiers. At the same time, they have also fallen deeply in love with these soldiers. ruthless.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuting also sighed softly.
Only Chen Wanli was a born optimist and shouted loudly: "I told you two, just take a holiday when you have a holiday. What are you doing with those idiots? Don't you have confidence in yourself? As long as we do the work more carefully and plan more carefully. Son, if we have a few more sharp minds in command, how much more can we lose with these elites and equipment in our hands?
Besides, no one will die in a war. This is not a civil war. It is a national war to resist foreign enemies. Die for the country, die well and die gloriously. Even if I die in battle, don't be sad, that is my glory and my best destiny. "
Zhou Wen also laughed at himself after hearing this. When did he become a mother-in-law? It seemed that he had too many peaceful days, and he began to be reluctant to part with the pots and jars at home. He remembered that when the war in the Central Plains started, he was really barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. In a word: Just do it.
At that moment, he raised his hand and patted Chen Wanli on the shoulder with approval and said: "Wan Li is right, die for the country and die well. There is nothing to regret. The worst we can do is start over from scratch."
After that, he turned to Meng Yuting and said: "The soldiers can have a holiday. You officers who are not in Shanxi will have to work harder. Take advantage of these few days of free training to get the drill plan for the coordinated operations of the first detachment and the second detachment." One comes out, both offensive and defensive. We will start training after taking leave, time waits for no one."
Meng Yuting and Chen Wanli both nodded in agreement.
Zhou Wen finally felt the relief of letting go of being the boss. If it had been left in the past, Zhou Wen would have to complete all the training plans, training content, training subjects, what goals were to be achieved, etc., and after that, he would have to give Gao Xiaoshan a detailed and patient report. , Miaohua and the recruit officers explained, and asked them to lead the training separately. Finally, they had to personally lead the team to train together, teaching hand in hand and mouth to mouth. It was really tiring to be both a father and a mother, both physically and mentally.
At first, it was enough to lead only a few dozen people from the first team. Later, after leading more than a thousand people from the second team, Zhou Wen felt that he was unable to do what he wanted. There were many key contents that he only knew a little bit about, so it was a struggle.
But since Meng Yuting and a dozen other officers arrived, others understood Zhou Wen's tactics as soon as they heard them. They also drew inferences from one example and quickly came up with a more comprehensive plan.
As for the tactical effect Zhou Wen wanted to achieve, as soon as you mentioned the beginning, others had already thought of the ending for you, and any opinions they had were put forward in person, constantly improving and improving the entire tactic.
What makes Zhou Wen even more satisfied is that once the plan came out, Meng Yuting and the others had a clear division of labor, and each led the team to start training as planned. Zhou Wen basically didn't have to worry about it.
It's a bit like the well-run large companies in later generations. As long as the board of directors sets the goals for the year, the various general managers and CEOs below will formulate detailed plans and assessment indicators. They will be handed down and responsible at every level, and they will usually be responsible. There's nothing to do without the chairman. All you have to do is hold cocktail parties, build relationships, supervise the finances, and wait until the end of the year to count the money and give out red envelopes.
Moreover, Meng Yuting and the others did not obey Zhou Wen just because they defected to Zhou Wen. Instead, they directly raised any confusion or different opinions they had, even if they dared to put forward their own opinions on many special tactics of the first team, this This is what Zhou Wen wants to see most. He hopes that the people who can move forward side by side with him are not only his subordinates and brothers of life and death, but also friends and comrades.
Zhou Wen said happily: "Yuting, I am really lucky to have your help. It just so happens that I haven't been home for almost half a year, and Hongxiu is also on holiday, so I took advantage of this time to bring Hongxiu home. During the holiday, I will let Hongxiu go home." She is spending the New Year with my father in Lishi. We probably won't be able to make the trip, but I promise, next year, I will take you home to celebrate the New Year. It is best to bring all your relatives over next year.
I have already built a family area for our mercenary group in Lishi County. By then, each officer will have an independent courtyard and a two-story house. Those whose family members are willing to work can go to Fuyuan Store or Factory, and those who are not willing can stay at home. If you have nothing to do, I will start making arrangements after this battle next year. You can write a letter to your family first to explain that our base camp will be in Lishi County from now on, and all family members will move here. There is no need to worry about safety, and it will be convenient to visit if you want. "
It turns out that Hongxiu has been arranged by Zhou Wen to study in Taiyuan Girls' Middle School this year. Now that she has settled down, Zhou Wen wants Hongxiu to receive some formal education. Although her boss is not happy, he will let her stay in the mercenary group all day long. To be the king and hegemony, you can accidentally cultivate a little girl, not to mention that as she grows older, she also needs to have some best friends of the same age, right?
After hearing Zhou Wen say this, although Meng Yuting and the others knew clearly in their hearts: "You are obviously lazy, but you still want to find a high-sounding reason." However, both of them are broad-minded and well-educated people. Naturally, he would not get to know this hands-off shopkeeper.
Meng Yuting asked: "Scholar, won't China and Japan go into full-scale war this time? As you say, that is to say, the scale will not expand?"
Zhou Wen said: "The conditions for the two sides to start a direct war are not yet met, let alone China. Our current national strength does not have the strength to compete with Japan, so naturally we will not take the initiative to provoke a full-scale war.
Japan is not ready now. The invasion of Northeast China was just a unilateral action by the Japanese Kwantung Army. The result was a false attack and it revealed our weakness. Therefore, Japan is currently not ready for a full-scale war with us, but now that they see our weakness, their ambitions will grow day by day, so they will eventually take the initiative to launch a full-scale attack, but that will only take a few years. "
