Zhou Wen finally said: "Senior's Sixth Brigade has been in the army for many years, and their thinking and behavioral habits have been solidified. It is too difficult to reform them ideologically, which makes them mentally inferior to the Japanese army. Even if the weapons and equipment of individual soldiers are different, Not big, but war is never isolated. Taking into account the Japanese army's aircraft, artillery and mechanized transportation capabilities, it loses at least two points. In terms of tactics and individual combat capabilities, it cannot be made up for by strengthening training. .”
The commander-in-chief is not happy. Although what you said makes sense, how come your own troops have repeatedly won victories on the Songhu battlefield, and they often beat more with less.
Zhou Wen looked at the marshal's expression and naturally knew what he was thinking, and continued to patiently say: "My nephew's army is different. One is writing on a blank piece of paper. They start training from the time they are new recruits, and they instill in my nephew from the beginning to the end. His tactical thinking, coupled with my nephew's consumption of a large amount of logistical supplies at all costs, have formed a certain level of individual soldier tactical ability."
"Another one is that my nephew is given a high salary, not only military salary, but also a military affiliation system. Their families have benefited from it, and it is easy for them to understand each other ideologically and establish a certain sense of honor and belonging. They have a certain sense of honor and belonging. Knowing that if you die in battle, your family will be supported, and if you perform a meritorious service, your family's status and treatment will also be improved. If you escape from the battlefield, not only will you be punished by military law, but your family will also be humiliated and all benefits will be cancelled."
"So these officers and soldiers are very eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service. In addition, they have built up a certain degree of self-confidence during daily training, and they also yearn to perform on the battlefield, so they can quickly adapt to the battlefield environment. "
"The third thing is that my nephew has a group of excellent officers. As you know, they are all elite talents sent by the Northwest Army to the Soviet Union to study. With them enriched in various grassroots units of the army, the execution and execution of the army will be strengthened. Cohesion, commanding is as easy as an arm and a finger."
"These are irreproducible. You can't train them anymore no matter how hard you ask me to train them. Good soldiers and good officers are indispensable."
After hearing this, the Marshal took a sip of tea and pondered for half a minute before saying, "There's one thing you didn't say." This time, he rarely called Zhou Wen "little bastard" or "brat."
"It is a brilliant command. Changshu organized personnel to conduct deductions on the map for several battles you fought in Songhu, and found that the timing of the battles you commanded was very precise, and the entire combat operation was extremely rigorous, almost Every blow hit the vital part of the Japanese army. Changshu felt ashamed, saying it was as if you had an extra pair of eyes on the battlefield."
Zhou Wen felt ashamed for a while. He had taken advantage of knowing the history, and Zhou Yongbin, a communications expert, had captured the signal from the Japanese military headquarters. It was like having an extra pair of eyes.
Zhou Wen explained this to the Marshal so patiently in order to dispel the Marshal's little thoughts again.
Since the end of the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu, he went to the battlefield with recruits who had only been trained for a year. Facing the powerful Japanese army that everyone in the Republic of China feared, he achieved repeated victories. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that his training mode is not trivial, and naturally some people feel passionate about it. , extremely jealous.
Everyone will think that if they can master the essence of this training model, even if they only train a small number of troops, it will mean that they have a power in their hands that others dare not underestimate, and that they will have the ability to achieve various goals. The confidence of ambition.
The commander-in-chief would also like to get help from Zhou Wen.
Now Zhou Wen wants to dispel the commander's unrealistic thoughts.
Zhou Wen himself also understood that even if the second team trained strictly according to his own methods, even if he established various guarantee systems for them and established their confidence and belief in winning, if it weren't for a coincidence, they would be blinded. With the participation of more than a dozen elite officers like Yu Ting, it is basically impossible to form combat effectiveness and achieve such an eye-catching victory in just one year.
Since ancient times, it has been said that a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a good general is difficult to find.
The courage of the generals was due to the arrival of professional officers like Meng Yuting, who helped Zhou Wen improve the grassroots officer team in the second detachment, leading the new with the old, and the amateurs with professionalism. This allowed the second detachment to emerge in a short period of time. Transformational changes.
Otherwise, according to Zhou Wen's previous plan, it would be impossible to take all the second squadron to the Songhu battlefield. That would not be called training, but would be called death.
Leave professional matters to professionals. This is how Zhou Wen has always managed his team. This is also an attitude he expressed to the commander-in-chief.
As soon as he said this, the commander actually understood in his heart that Zhou Wen's training model cannot be copied.
Zhou Wen originally proposed to the Marshal to establish a system for protecting military honors and military dependents. After a year, it was difficult to implement it even with the Marshal's monopoly and monopoly status in Shanxi.
Not only is there no money, but grassroots officials are deducting money at all levels, and various forces are trying to push back and obstruct it. This is an old custom that has been formed over the years and cannot be easily changed. In the minds of most people in this era, why would a Qiuba soldier be given such good treatment? Isn’t there any kind of money that wouldn’t be nice to give to an officer? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself?
When the soldiers are gone, just recruit or capture soldiers directly. If I am rich, I will not buy more guns. Anyway, the most important thing in China is people. If you have guns and cannons, why don't you worry about not being able to recruit soldiers?
Qualified officers are even harder to find, especially those at the platoon and company level. Most of them are promoted from trusted soldiers. Not to mention being literate, there are only a few who can write their names in full.
As for Meng Yuting and the dozen or so officers who stayed in the Soviet Union, they had already experienced battlefield training in the Northwest Army, and had systematically studied in world-renowned military academies for several years. If they joined other armies, they would at least start as battalion commanders. But in Zhou Wen's second detachment, everything was enriched to the company and platoon levels, and a professional grassroots officer system was immediately established. The tactics and training of Zhou Wen's super era were quickly understood and continued to be carried forward, and the team's combat effectiveness naturally improved. Went up.
Zhou Wen actually only had to ask the commander, "Can your old Jin army do it?"
"The old man can't do it!"
The commander said melancholy, feeling a little disappointed and depressed.
In this way, the king of Shanxi, who held hundreds of thousands of troops, owned a province, and dominated the Republic of China for more than ten years, was not as happy as this little bastard.
"So you always want to train a brigade that can defeat a Japanese brigade. My nephew thinks that he can't do it. However, the war is not the only option. If you have your full support, , my nephew is helping the senior to train a brigade that can defend a Japanese brigade from an all-out attack for several days without retreating."
