Since Liu Fei has decided on this matter, he will naturally find a way to solve it.
The news that Honorary Division Commander Song Xilian is about to be transferred to Commander of the 71st Army is an open secret in the Operations Department, but it has not been implemented yet.
Perhaps it was because the superiors were waiting to see the frontline battlefield that they did not issue an order in advance to transfer Honorary Division Commander Song Xilian to the position of commander of the 71st Army.
But as the director of the Operations Department, Liu Fei had already thought of this: when the battle report of the Linyi victory came back, he also went to study this battle case, and specifically studied the resume of Zhang Tianhai.
Since Zhang Tianhai is from the 36th Division and was promoted by Song Xilian, it should be said that there will be no barriers when he is merged into the battle order of the 71st Army, and he can Song Xilian got used to it as quickly as possible.
When considering this aspect, Liu Fei felt relieved. He was confident that he would persuade the Chairman to transfer this unit to the first theater.
After all, it is now at a critical juncture when Chairman Chiang is ambitious and wants to expand the results of the Taierzhuang Battle. If you don’t believe it, just look at the elite 60th Army of the Yunnan Army mobilized from Yunnan, plus the Fourth Army of Fan Songfu from Chen Cheng’s Civil Engineering Department. This can be seen from the determination of the Sixteenth Army to quickly mobilize to the battlefield in Xuzhou.
If there were no special reasons, Chairman Chiang would never agree to transfer the elite troops of the Fifth Theater at this most critical moment.
"This is the only way to prepare for a rainy day." Liu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the huge military map in front of him, but his will was already very firm.
As a senior military officer with such an important responsibility, Liu Fei believed that he had an obligation to make all rainy preparations for the Republic of China!
…
However, Zhang Tianhai did not know at this time that his fate had been decided by the big boss above.
At this time, he is like a leaf in the rough sea, and he can only follow the waves and tides of the times, drifting with the tide!
The training on the scene was still very lively, and a group of soldiers were training "one, two, one, one, two, one".
"Lao Zhou, let me see, the training of this grenade class must be stepped up. We must form a more complete fire support system as soon as possible." Zhang Tianhai suddenly said.
"You put it lightly. We don't have much inventory of small grenade shells. At most, it's enough to fight a small battle. If we continue to fight like this, if we don't replenish it, I think it will be a disaster." Zhou Fangjie said with a helpless expression.
"It seems that we still have to find a group of little devils to supplement us." Zhang Tianhai also said with a helpless face. After all, besides this method, he had no other better way.
To put it bluntly, his fire support squad consisting of grenades as the main force is illegal, because these fire support squads were formed by secretly intercepting supplies without telling the commanders.
Since you dare to secretly establish the Chief Executive's Department without telling it, you must have the ability to support yourself. If you end up unable to support yourself and turn to the Chief Executive's Department for help, you will be laughed at.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai feels that, as the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
Who dares to laugh at what he snatched from the hands of the little devil based on his own ability?
"Old Zhang, to be honest, I think our regiment still has various shortcomings that cannot be solved for the time being. The most important thing about our regiment is that we do not have the conditions to conduct live ammunition shooting. Many soldiers did not fire before going to the battlefield. More than one shot. Besides, he is quite inexperienced in infantry and artillery coordination." Zhou Fangjie was really helpless. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This is the case.
Even if he, Zhou Fangjie, has all kinds of abilities, so what? Aren't you trapped in a lack of supplies? This is an army of four thousand people! There are more than 3,000 combat troops. Each person fires one shot, which is 3,000 rounds of ammunition; each person fires ten shots, which is 30,000 rounds of ammunition.
Don’t forget that this era is not that of later generations. It is an era of abundant supplies. At this time, even if the national army’s arsenal is operating at full capacity to produce bullets, it cannot supply the losses on the front line. To put it bluntly, the productivity of military weapons Still very low.
"Take your time! You can't rush anything. Besides, we are indeed in a period of shortage of materials now. Who told our country to be poor and weak? Since we are poor, we must have the awareness of poverty. We can only risk many things with the lives of officers and soldiers, even our own lives. Training slowly, practicing slowly! Now we can only carry out actual combat training in war, maybe we can survive They are all elites and veterans!" As he said that, a hint of gloom flashed in Zhang Tianhai's eyes.
Some things are meant to be, that's how it is. Since you can't change, you can only adapt.
"We have no choice but to rely on this. To be honest, in such a short period of time, we can train this group of common people who know nothing into a force that barely looks like soldiers. That is already Very good. Just be content, Lao Zhang." Zhou Fangjie said with a long sigh.
"By the way, Lao Zhou, do our troops have the conditions to carry out actual combat drills?" Zhang Tianhai looked at Zhou Fangjie.
Zhou Fangjie shook his head resolutely and said: "With the time we have now, it is already very good if we can train them to look like soldiers. To carry out actual combat exercises or something, we need at least three Months have passed, and now our troops are composed of ordinary people who have not completed their training. How can they undertake combat missions?"
Zhang Tianhai pondered for a while, but was finally defeated by the cruel reality. He said helplessly: "Oh, it's really hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice! We still need too much time, and the Japanese devils gave us too much time. It’s too little. By the way, I haven’t seen the supplementary plan for the two reserve supplementary troops from the Hubei Security Corps. Isn’t it convenient for you to tell me about it now?”
"Is this inconvenient? I'll just say no. You are the leader, is there anything else I can hide from you?" Zhou Fangjie couldn't help but complain about Zhang Tianhai to express what he said to him. Bullshit protest.
