Wu Peifu came suddenly and left in a hurry, and after the meeting, he politely refused Liang Qichao's retention and left directly.

Lu Yongxiang propped his arms on the table and asked Hu Wenkai: "Wenkai, do you think Wu Peifu can be trusted?" ”

Looking at Lu Yongxiang, who was in his fifties, Hu Wenkai realized in his heart that in the end, it was the Republic of China, and people's thinking still couldn't keep up with their own beat.

"Lu Dujun, it doesn't matter to us whether Wu Peifu can be trusted or not, as long as he takes the money to guard Henan for us, I will be satisfied, as for the rest, I don't think much about it for the time being. Warlords are like this, only if you are strong enough to get their refuge, if I am a scholar now, it is still a question whether he recognizes me. ”

Liang Qichao lowered his face and said: "Wen Kai, your words are too much, Ziyu is sincere to you." He also has difficulties, so many people under him. ”

"Teacher, I don't mean uncle, I'm just using him as an analogy to explain to Lu Dujun." Hu Wenkai's weak defense, fortunately, Liang Qichao did not dwell too much on it.

"I flew back to the Dragon King Temple in the afternoon, and I still can't adapt to the climate here in Xuzhou." Liang Qichao saw that things were almost busy, and he asked Hu Wenkai to tie his hands and feet, so he should go back to Far Eastern University as soon as possible.

Lu Yongxiang went out to arrange the plane, Liang Qichao said with a gloomy face: "Wen Kai, you are too inattentive to the occasion, there are some things that you just know in your heart, you said in front of Lu Yongxiang that you don't trust him." You must be cautious in your words and deeds, you are now in a high position as before, and any word spread will have an irreparable impact. ”

"Teacher, I know it's wrong, it's a bit of a villain's rampant thinking during this time."

"Haha, Wen Kai, it's a good thing that you're good at summarizing your shortcomings, I'm afraid that you will be carried away if you are too smooth. I have a suggestion, don't stick to what you said before and trim it up for a year or two, Shandong is strategically important to occupy if you can occupy it, and if you really occupy Shandong, you will be honest. ”

"Teacher, I will convene a meeting with them to study carefully before making a decision." Hu Wenkai thought to himself that Shandong could not be occupied now if he wanted to, but it was not good to directly refute Liang Qichao's suggestion.

After Liang Qichao and Lu Yongxiang left, Hu Wenkai convened personnel to work on the spot, and the first thing was to discuss whether to reorganize Han Xiaojun's 28th Cavalry Division into a heavy armored division or use the name of the 28th Cavalry Division.

A platoon is equipped with four heavy tanks, a company with four platoons and two tanks at the company headquarters for a total of 18 tanks, a battalion with four companies plus six tanks at the battalion headquarters for a total of 78 tanks, and a regiment with four battalions with a total of 330 tanks. Each brigade consists of a tank regiment and an armored assault personnel carrier regiment, plus a towed artillery regiment and a logistics transport regiment.

The 28th Cavalry Division has two brigades under its jurisdiction, and Han Xiaojun's mouth suddenly smiled crookedly, and his daughter-in-law for many years has become a mother-in-law. Sun Xiaolan smacked his lips and said that Han Xiaojun could directly sweep the whole country after the adaptation, and this strike force is second to none in the world.

Li Congshan interrupted their interest with a look of bitterness, saying that at this stage, only 100 tanks and 100 armored assault vehicles could be provided for the 28th Division's training, and that it would be necessary to wait at least until May next year to complete the equipment.

According to the German army's configuration in World War II, an armored regiment consisted of only 160 tanks, and his purpose in this configuration was to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and then reorganize it.

What Li Congshan said is also the truth, and the entire army's tank stockpile, including Gao Jinchang's more than 100 tanks, has a total of only 300 units, and the number of armored assault vehicles is a little more than 400. It's not that he doesn't want to produce, it's that Hu Wenkai doesn't give more production, saying that it takes up a lot of money, and producing too much is a waste of money.

Hu Wenkai stopped Han Xiaojun's dissatisfaction and said: "Training first and then equipment, the tank needs to be improved and modified, and many problems have been exposed in the battle this time." Fifty tanks and 50 armored assault vehicles were provided a month, and Gao Jinchang's troops were responsible for training one company and three companies, which would begin tomorrow. ”

Wang Hongguo said angrily: "Report to Chief Hu, the 28th Division has changed into a heavy armored division, then our 6th Division must also order tanks, otherwise it will be too favoritism." ”

Hu Wenkai slapped the table and said loudly: "Nonsense, what do you Wang Hongguo want a tank for?" Can a tank be loaded into an airplane? ”

Tanks can be loaded on planes, but they definitely can't, a bunch of people are stupid and don't know what the boss is talking about.

"The Sixth Division will be reorganized into a rapid reaction force and deployed as our strategic force."

Hu Wenkai explained that the Sixth Division needed to complete the assembly and boarding within one hour after receiving the order, and take a towed glider and parachute directly down to the enemy's rear to complete the task of blocking and encircling it. The task of the 28th Cavalry Division was to attack the fortifications head-on, and the task of the 6th Division was to quickly cut off the enemy's supplies and retreat from the air by surprise and complete the encirclement of the enemy.

Therefore, the training of the Sixth Division is mainly based on individual soldier quality training and positional blockade, and the soldiers of the Sixth Division must be at least 60 percent proficient in parachuting, which is called the Sixth Airborne Division to put it bluntly.

"Wang Hongguo, let me remind you that you all exist as companies now, and the battalion-level command system has not been established, but you must urge the company to carry out a 100-kilometer long-distance march for me at least once a month."

Wang Hongguo was confused by Hu Wenkai's words, how is it possible to transport a division of troops from the air, even if it is possible to transport weapons and food supplies after transporting a division in the past.

Sun Xiaolan acted as a commentator, spreading out the drawings on the conference table and introducing the aerial towing glider to everyone present. A sparrow transport plane towing a wooden glider can airborne forty-two people and a small number of mortars and machine guns, and ten sparrow transporters and gliders at a time can transport a battalion, a distance of 600 kilometers can go back and forth three times a day.

When attacking Bengbu, our army used sparrow planes and gliders to transport troops directly to the outside of Bengbu, and the assault was successful. So the task of the 6th Division was to train the drivers of gliders, lightly armed assault. Weapons and food were airdropped by follow-up transport planes.

The 6th Division's main heavy weapons were machine guns and mortars, and pistols were assigned to each combat crew. If it is a blocking mission, it must be calculated according to one day and one night to block the enemy, and if it is an assault mission, it is estimated that it will take half a day.

Hu Wenkai said: "The key is training, we must keep training, I will give you the target of 5% of the training casualties, and we must form a combat strength spanning 600 kilometers before the end of the year." ”

My little obedient boss directly gave 5% of the training loss, which is the first time. The atmosphere was depressed, and this was no joke.

"If you don't take the task, I'm going to have to change people." Hu Wenkai saw that Wang Hongguo was stunned and didn't speak.

Wang Hongguo blushed and said with a thick neck: "Who said I wouldn't take it, I was thinking that if I attacked Han Xiaojun's heavy armored division in the air, I could paralyze him in an hour, and his tank rushed up before I started." ”

Sun Xiaolan was impressed by Wang Hongguo's imagination, and directly hit him and said: "Don't think about it, train the troops first." The airborne troops are not so easy to train, first, they must have physical fitness, second, they must have the ability of grassroots officers to adapt to the battlefield on the battlefield, and third, they must have the spirit of not being afraid of death. ”

"Well, Sun Xiaolan, don't worry, not to mention that the quality of our troops is first-class, how can you be afraid of death, and your head has a big scar." Wang Hongguo began to come alive and brag again.

Hu Wenkai glared at him and said, "Wang Hongguo, if you don't brag, you can die, the training loss is only 5%, and if you exceed it, you will roll up and go home." ”

"This, this, Chief Hu, I promise to complete the task." Wang Hongguo was stunned when he heard this, and hung his honest head down.

"The 4th Division will be changed into a mountain division, mainly considering the vertical and horizontal water network in the south, equipped with horses and small artillery as much as possible, and the 6th Mixed Brigade will be supported by heavy artillery at any time. Your task now is to clear the local armed forces in the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang, and later Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei. Hu Wenkai pointed to the map and said.

As soon as Zhu Xinyang heard about this task, he immediately jumped up and said: "Chief Hu, our Fourth Division has resolutely completed the task, and tomorrow we will begin to enter the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang to clear the armed forces according to the company. ”

Hu Wenkai arranged: "All units will start training according to companies, with the only exception being Gao Jinchang's Fourth Mixed Brigade to assume combat readiness duty; if there is an accident, the Fourth Mixed Brigade will go to block the enemy's resistance, and the General Staff Department will quickly set up the command organs of various departments, battalions, regiments, and brigades to be airdropped to each department according to the plan. ”

"The 10th Division is responsible for the internal security of the three provinces and Shanghai, especially the security of Tianfen, Nanjing and Shanghai. The military personnel below can leave the scene, and the administrative staff stay. ”

A group of people in military uniforms obediently stood up and walked out, and Sun Xiaolan packed up the map in front of him and prepared to leave.

Hu Wenkai said: "Sun Xiaolan stayed, and Li Congshan also stayed. ”

A map of Xuzhou's factories and cities was laid out on the conference table, and soldiers came in to pack up extra chairs and add tea before leaving.

Hu Wenkai looked at the people who were smoking and said: "I am very dissatisfied with the construction of Xuzhou, the speed is slow, and the nest work is serious. ”

"We have invested a lot in Xuzhou, and if we can't put it into production in time, then our funds will be wasted."

"I watched all the projects go on the ground, all the projects were under construction. How can it be built like this? ”

"Yang Siliang, you have to concentrate on igniting the ironmaking blast furnace in July, and so is the steelmaking plant. These two projects are the focus of Xuzhou's heavy industry layout, and all manufacturers revolve around these two projects. ”

Yang Siliang defended himself with injustice: "The boss will definitely be ignited and put into production in ten days, not because the building materials can't keep up, and the cement shortage and steel can't be transported." ”

Hu Wenkai tapped his fingers on the table and said: "Yang Siliang has some things that I know are difficult, but now who will have no difficulties in this condition, and if you don't overcome the difficulties, it is your problem." We are building a center of heavy industry on the basis of poverty and whiteness, and everything is done by our own hands. Don't think of solutions when you encounter difficulties, but take waiting, relying on, and asking. ”

"If you can't transport steel, can't you take water to Bengbu and then transfer it? Canal doesn't work? ”

Hu Wenkai lay on the map and pointed to the waterway from the Yangtze River to the Yangzhou Canal and then to Bengbu.
