It is impossible for a big boss like Li Yunlong to be creative and executive. Real Red Army cadres and Eighth Route Army cadres have received literacy education and have considerable cultural knowledge.
Only by mastering knowledge can we use military knowledge to think tactically.
Then flexible offensive and defensive tactics will be created.
This is like having to master mathematics before you can conduct physics research.
An illiterate person who can't read a word, who doesn't know how to speak even when his pole is overturned, how do you ask him to calculate the enemy's strength, firepower, and battle damage ratio?
Without knowing these battlefield elements, how do you ask him to design tactics?
With the cunning of a peasant? Intuition? This really doesn't work.
Even a company-level blocking battle requires precise tactical design.
It will not work to just dig a few trenches or find a position and spread the troops like beans.
In many local battlefields during the Korean War, the volunteers did not have an advantage in strength, firepower was at an absolute disadvantage, and ammunition supply was seriously insufficient. Faced with such a situation, if grassroots cadres did not know how to calculate troop strength, firepower and ammunition supply, what echelon arrangement Breaking it into pieces or counterattacking from the flanks will not work.
If we don't know how to plan the fight, there is a high probability that the fight will end up in the tragic situation like on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
The Japanese army has not even launched a serious attack yet. The national army has very little ammunition left, and its heavy firepower has been exhausted. When the Japanese army launches a large-scale attack, they can only take human lives. After the battle, many people died, and the tactical intention was not achieved, so Songhu lost, Taiyuan lost, Xuzhou lost, and Wuhan also lost.
Therefore, literacy is not necessary, but very necessary. This literacy class must be held.
Now he said solemnly: "Literacy classes must be held, and those who are illiterate must participate in literacy classes."
…
The Japs in the Bank of Communications warehouse are also conducting a tactical review.
The Japanese Navy's Shanghai Special Marine Corps was also an unlucky unit. Two commanders died in two days.
The new chief of staff had just returned from Germany and the appointment had not yet been officially announced, so Kiyoshi Hasegawa could only preside over the review meeting.
"The Battle of Sihang Warehouse has been going on to this day. Many Imperial Navy personnel have been killed and equipment has been lost. It is really a loss of face. The Army has ridiculed us in all kinds of ways, and the newspapers and periodicals in the Shanghai Concession have treated us extremely hard. Even His Majesty the Emperor is deeply disappointed with our performance."
"No one wants to see this situation."
"But the matter has come to this, and regretting and regretting will no longer help."
"I've already lost all my face, so I have nothing left to lose."
"So now, the only thing we need to do is to make a serious summary, learn from the failures of the previous two days, innovate tactics, and finally eliminate the Chinese army and occupy the Sihang Warehouse, avenging our previous shame."
After Hasegawa Kiyoshi finished speaking, he sat down and waited for the participating officers to speak.
However, after the old Japanese waited for a long time, no officer spoke.
All the dozen or so officers present at the meeting lowered their heads and remained silent.
Although the officers of the Japanese navy are stubborn, they are not stupid and they are not willing to jump into this sinkhole.
The situation is obvious. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Sihang Warehouse is a sinkhole. Anyone who goes up is filling the hole. Toshi Kitaro has already filled the hole, Okawauchi Denshichi has already filled the hole, and Yasuda Yoshida has already filled the hole. If they were replaced, the result would not be much better, they would still fill the hole.
So no one was willing to speak.
I am afraid that the burden will fall on my shoulders.
"A bunch of cowards!" Kiyoshi Hasegawa suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face.
"Aren't you usually very eloquent? Each of them dares to give guidance to the Navy Ministry's Operations Department, and even dares to propose amendments to the Imperial Navy's century-old plan."
"Is it true that when you say it, you don't dare to say it?"
"With such cowardice, no wonder he was laughed at by the Army Red Deer."
Hearing this, the chief lieutenant on the left couldn't help but stand up.
"Your Majesty Commander, I disagree with what you say."
"There are no cowards in the Imperial Navy, and none of you here are cowards."
"We don't say it, not because we are afraid, but because it makes no sense."
"It makes no sense? You are just scared! Especially you, Maeda-kun, don't make excuses for your cowardice!" Kiyoshi Hasegawa was furious, "The Imperial Navy spent so much money to send you to study at the Special Forces School in Munich, Germany. Is this how you repay the empire's cultivation? You are not worthy of being the chief of staff of the Special Marine Corps!"
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Lieutenant Colonel Maeda's face also turned serious. "You can question my ability, but please do not insult my efforts. During the past three years of further study in Germany, I have never forgotten my responsibilities and mission. I work harder and harder than any other student, and I am still the only one among all the students who got excellent grades in all subjects during graduation. My efforts are worthy of the empire’s cultivation, and even more worthy of my status as Chief of Staff of the Special Marine Corps.”
After a short pause, Lieutenant Colonel Maeda added: "In addition, I must remind the Commander that I just arrived in Shanghai this morning, and my luggage is even stored at Huishan Pier!"
"Then why don't you dare to speak about the battle situation at Sihang Warehouse?" Hasegawa Kiyoshi calmed down a little.
"Because there is nothing to say. Although I have just come back, I have already seen news reports about the Battle of Sihang Warehouse from newspapers as early as when I was in Hong Kong." Maeda Nakasa said, "The Battle of Sihang Warehouse has been around since the beginning. We have deviated from the direction from the beginning, and no matter what we do, it is wrong, and it is impossible to get back on the right track.”
"It was wrong from the beginning?" Hasegawa Kiyoshi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Isn't what I mean clear enough?" Lieutenant Colonel Maeda, "From the very beginning, the top brass of the China Army decided to leave a small force in Sihang Warehouse to resist, just to sing a sad drama to the Western countries in the concession. See, in order to win the sympathy of Western countries, and then intervene in mediation or provide assistance to the Chinese government."
"But this tragic drama cannot be carried out by the China Army alone. It must have the cooperation of the Imperial Navy."
"So at this time, the Imperial Navy's best response is to ignore it. In this way, the small Chinese troops left behind at the Sihang Warehouse will not be able to sing a sad drama, and the Chinese government will not be able to achieve its intentions."
"But the Imperial Navy's Special Marines launched an attack rashly without weighing it for the sake of so-called face."
"This attack not only helped the Chinese government achieve its strategic intentions, but also put the Imperial Navy on fire, because the Sihang Warehouse is backed by the public concession, and across the river is the concession tap fire factory. There are more than 500,000 cubic meters of gas stored in the two gas storage tanks of the factory. Once detonated, the entire concession will be razed to the ground!"
"Commander, you have also seen what happened next."
"The Special Marines suffered repeated defeats at Sihang Warehouse. The losses were increasing, and more and more troops were participating in the war."
"If you can't win a detachment, put in a small team. If a small team doesn't work, then put in a squadron. If a squadron doesn't work, then put in a brigade. If a brigade is still not enough, then put in a detachment. Now that you still can't win a detachment, do you need to mobilize more troops? The troops come here, form a Marine Division or even a Marine Corps and put it into the Four Lines Warehouse battlefield?"
"But, is it useful? By adding a division or even a legion, can we capture the Four Lines Warehouse?"
"For the sake of so-called face, the result is humiliation. Don't you think it's ironic, Commander?"
"Bagagaru!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi was completely irritated and shouted, "Maeda Ritsu, you are really too much and rude, regardless of my status as the commander of the Empire's 3rd Fleet. , I am also your elder, even your father Toshio Maeda would not dare to talk to me like this!"
"Hai!" Ritsu Maeda paused and then said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have no intention of offending you. If my words just now were offensive, I solemnly apologize to you, but I still insist on my own opinion. There is no point in fighting, and there is no need to continue fighting, because continuing to fight will only lead to more disastrous defeats."
"So, you mean to give up the Sihang Warehouse?" Hasegawa Kiyoshi's face was still extremely ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "I don't want to lose the face of the Imperial Navy. Is that what you mean?"
