Chapter 555: An Assessment of the Battalion Commander

In the eyes of the brothers in the seventh battalion, they were full of envy and respect for the brothers in the sixth battalion; Envy is that they have braised pork to eat tonight, and I respect their performance in this battle;

"Hurry up, the machine gun company is stationed at a fixed fire point, the first company is on the left, the second company is in the middle, the third company is in the middle, and the fourth company is on the right, first find your own anti-artillery hole; All company commanders pay attention to the guidance of the brothers! "Before Li Jian arrived at the position, he was already giving orders;

"Whoop, whoop......"

There were less than 800 meters between the first and second line positions, but the difference between receiving and retreating was that they came running; One by one, the brethren panted for breath, finding their place in the shouting of the officers, and urgently clearing the anti-artillery holes;

"Commander, Li Jian is ordered to take over!" In the trenches, Li Jian reported, but he was finally sober and didn't dare to salute!

"Let the brothers strengthen the bomb shelter first, it is estimated that the shelling and bombardment of the devils will come soon!" He Jianye said,

"Commander, I understand; I've been with you for so long, and I've seen it; You go down first! Company Commander Zeng, please send the commander down first! Li Jian sneered, He Jianye was on the position, he didn't know what to do later? It's not a trivial matter that the commander is injured!

"Don't dare, I'll leave right away! The heavy machine gun fire point on the left was destroyed by the devil's aerial bombs! If you have time, you collect the rails and sleepers around and rebuild one! He Jianye said,

"Commander, you better go down! I'm sure I'll hold on! "Li Jian is about to cry, you are a commander, the backbone of tens of thousands of brothers, what have you been in this front trench for a long time? In case the devil comes over, I can't even cry!

Taking advantage of the fact that the devil's plane had not yet come, Li Jian was telling the squad leader and the veterans to carefully demonstrate to the recruits again, on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, which was somewhat of a real battle!

"Attention all squad and platoon commanders, start the first wave of war; It is the time when the recruits and brethren are most nervous, and they are most likely to make mistakes at this time, and your task is not to shoot the devils, but to supervise behind them; Who the hell can't remember to pop up, just give me a kick! It's better to kick them up than to let them lose their lives! "Li Jian watched the whole battle when he was in the second-line trenches, of course he knew the reason why the sixth battalion suffered so many casualties, with a fixed fire point as support, and the devil fired at a distance of 200 meters, the defenders still had the trench to rely on, and the casualties were actually greater than the devil; The recruits' readiness for war is the biggest reason for this result;

The veterans and the squad and platoon leaders at the grassroots level are the backbone of these battalions and companies, and their combat experience is the best weapon on the battlefield, even if it is to kill a little less devil, let the recruits learn, only in this way will the seventh battalion become the elite in the shortest possible time, that's right, Li Jian's goal is to become the first elite infantry battalion of the Nanchang Garrison Command, and now all the battalions are formed by recruits; Although Wang Qiang and Sheng Hai were battalion commanders before, he was only promoted as a company commander; But he never thought he was worse than them!

There were no longer the bodies of the brothers in the crater-ridden positions, and they had been taken away by the withdrawn Sixth Battalion. It's just that the russet blood stains on the ground show that there are many brothers here who have shed blood and fought fiercely with devils!

"Commander, in the first round, we should let our special battalion go up, and let Zhu Shuangquan's sixth battalion study hard in the back; The sixth battalion didn't fight the devils viciously, and it suffered so many casualties; Sorry for those brothers! ”

He Jianye has returned to the underground headquarters of the World War II position, Yang Xiaoshi frowned and said;

"Oh? You think I don't know how you train your troops? Your troops are recruits, but your battalion is made up of the best soldiers from all infantry battalions; You've also done a couple of live-fire drills, and you've spent a full two base numbers of ammunition! Even the wounded who were shot were brought back a dozen by me! Is it that they can compare? He Jianye said,

"Do you know why I let Zhu Shuangquan's sixth battalion top the first round? Because Zhu Shuangquan is smart enough, has sufficient actual combat experience, and has a strong ability to adapt to changes on the battlefield; If you go to the first round, you won't have such a big casualty, but the people behind you won't learn anything! He Jianye said,

"Hehe, Commander, you said that the little devils have been withdrawn for an hour? They're not going to take a break at lunch! Yang Xiaoshi asked,

"How do I know? I hope that the devil will start to have lunch, don't attack in such a hurry, and let Li Jian summarize and rectify the defense line! He Jianye said,

He Jianye was wondering if the devil did not carry out the second round of bombing and attack, and the commander of the devil's 101st Division was already mad; The naval aviation refused to take the risk of low-altitude bombing, but accused Saito Yahei of having no samurai spirit and relying entirely on air bombing, and his infantry was completely ornamental, and did not dare to use strong attack tactics to show the invincible momentum of the Imperial Japanese Army!

"Commander, the 2nd Reserve Battalion and the 3rd Reserve Battalion are ordered to be stationed in the second-line trenches;" The reports of two battalion commanders came from the door of the command headquarters,

"Watch the battle carefully, see how Jian Li deals with the devils, the sixth battalion suffered a bit of casualties in the first round of defense; The Seventh Battalion has achieved its purpose of training, and it's time for you to go up and perform! He Jianye said,

"Yes, Commander!" The two men immediately got out of the underground bunker and entered a heavy machine gun bunker in front of a second-line position, and directly moved the heavy machine gun away, and the two people stood at the firing port, holding binoculars and observing themselves;

Although the Nanchang Garrison Command now has a lot of troops, they are all new recruits; Half of the brothers have undergone five months of training, and the other half have not even had half a month of training, relying entirely on veterans to fight and teach on the battlefield. This places great demands on the demand for officers at the grassroots level.

If there are no veterans and a large number of grassroots officers, these recruits with no actual combat experience will go directly to the battlefield to fight the devils, it will be cannon fodder, and it is good to save one out of ten.

Why did the Central Army Military Academy keep training officers after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, or rapid mass production! It's not because the elite of the squadron was lost a lot in the previous battles, the strength of each unit was stretched, China did not have a perfect reserve system, and the supplementary recruits recruited from the rear were basically peasants and workers who had just put down their hoes and tools! Without a large number of junior officers, I am afraid that the troops will collapse before they can enter the battle.

But the devil is different, since the Lugou Bridge Incident, a large number of veterans and reserve soldiers have been conscripted into the army, and their officer training system has long been in place, as well as a complete military industrial system; After several battles, the devil officers and soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, but their main division was still able to maintain a sharp attack; China's defenders can only exchange space for time, and the troops in various theaters are fighting bloody battles with devils on the front line, just to buy time for the transfer of the people in the rear and the retraining and recruitment of new recruits, and to preserve the potential of the Chinese nation to continue the war of resistance as much as possible!
