Chapter 675: Integrating the Expeditionary Force
Hukang River Valley, Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Yesterday's temporary tents have been replaced by a row of small cabins, although the expeditionary force will not spend much time here, but the danger factor of the tents is too high, although the location is extremely poor, in a cliff concave point, but it can prevent direct artillery fire, not shrapnel damage, so the necessary precautions still have to be had. The craftsmanship of the sappers is good, and the walls are made of logs, and then camouflaged with bark and weeds, which are hidden and strong.
In the command center, Jiang Haoran's face was very ugly, the experience of the 66th Army had already been transmitted back to the headquarters, the matter was too big, the army commander Zhang Zhen did not dare to hide it, 1510 told Jiang Haoran, although Jiang Haoran had already made some mental preparations, but was still startled by the chaos of the 66th Army's command system and the mutual calculation and prevarication of various departments. Fortunately, Sun Liren's ability to make decisions on the spot was not bad, and he promptly led the guard battalion to rescue the artillery regiment that had been besieged by the Japanese army, and called for air force support in time, so that there was no catastrophe, and the artillery regiment was preserved, but the casualties of the new 38th Division were close to one-third. Although Sun Liren's command is a bit extreme, as soon as he comes up, he scattered all the troops in his hands, leaving no room for himself, but the unforgivable crime is still the 28th Division commander Liu Bolong, who is secretly treacherous and slippery, speaking of this, Jiang Haoran is the most angry Zhang Zhen, as the commander of the army controls the overall situation, there is actually a division that did not arrive at the attack position and did not know, and was fooled by a battalion, which is a serious dereliction of duty.
A good attack made Jiang Haoran deeply worried about this battle, and his brows wrinkled into the word "Sichuan".
Chief of Staff Huang Jie seemed to see his worries, and sneered: "General Seat, don't worry, your reprimand message is still effective in the past, all departments have now reached the designated position, and have also repelled the enemy's attack, temporarily controlled the situation, and are preparing to launch a second round of attacks. Besides, we didn't want them to take down the secret branch this time? That, the main thing is to play the momentum of the army to suppress the realm. ”
Jiang Haoran smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that they won't be able to fight this kind of momentum, once the Japanese army perceives our motives, the Japanese army will definitely turn into an offensive and immediately counterattack, in this way, the 66th Army will not be able to stop the Japanese 16th Division at all, once they retreat, not only the flank of the Hukang River Valley will be exposed to the enemy's front, but the 3,000 elites I threw into Meng Gong will be in danger." ”
"Ah, what then?" As soon as she heard that the special operations division was in danger, Leng Rushuang immediately became nervous, these soldier kings were Jiang Haoran's heart, so she was more nervous than Jiang Haoran.
"There is no other way to plan now, Rushuang, send a report to Chu Zhongtian, and order him to immediately parachute another 3,000 people over and throw them directly to Mizhi? On that battlefield, they didn't know how to fight, Lao Tzu taught them to fight, and this time let Su Canwen go over to command. ”
Leng Rushuang exclaimed: "Su Canwen commanded in the past? What about the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team? Moreover, it has been so long since Su Canwen left the special operations division, is it appropriate for him to command? ”
Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "Doesn't the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team still have Jiang Shi, as for Su Canwen, you can rest assured, the special operations divisions are all veterans, who doesn't know Su Canwen, there is no sense of disobedience in command, let's execute it." ”
Leng Rushuang straightened his chest and said, "Yes, I'll generate electricity." ”
"Wait like frost!" Just when Leng Rushuang turned around and was about to leave, Jiang Haoran seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Send Liu He another telegram to see how many middle- and grass-roots officer cadets there are in the Zhuzhou Branch of the Huangpu Military Academy, let them graduate early, and all of them will be airlifted by me, and at the same time, a batch of high-quality cadets will also be sent to me." ”
This is a signal for the integration of the expeditionary force, and the development of the Zhuzhou branch of the Huangpu Military Academy in the past two years can already be described as vigorous, with advanced classes, intermediate classes, grassroots classes, cadet classes, artillery sections, infantry sections, engineers, baggage, gendarmerie sections, radio departments, etc., all of which are included, and even armor, special warfare and other subjects have been added.
Officers are all drawn from all divisions, brigades, regiments, and battalions, and are deputies or top-notch men who have good qualities in all aspects, and they are the targets of key training; compared with the officers who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, the biggest advantage is that they all have actual combat experience, and they can command battles when they take them out. As for the low-level trainees, they are all top students specially recruited by major colleges and universities, and after more than a year of training, their theoretical knowledge is not much worse, but only battlefield experience, as long as they are given a period of running-in, they will soon be able to integrate into the army and form a new combat effectiveness.
"You want to integrate the expeditionary force? I'm afraid this is not so easy, I'm afraid those behind the scenes will come out to stop it? Jiang Haoran's words were very obvious, of course Huang Jie could hear it, but he still raised his concerns.
Jiang Haoran sneered and said, "Aren't they intrigating and preserving their strength?" I can only exchange blood with them, if they are not honest, just kill them, I don't care who he is, don't send me those recent messages that have nothing to do with the war situation, you just reply to them directly and I won't read it. ”
When Jiang Haoran said this, although his tone was light and light, his eyes showed a strong killing intent, which made Huang Jie, who was out of the matter, shudder, he knew that a bloody storm within the expeditionary force was probably inevitable. Huang Jie understands the truth that the heavy canon still needs to be re-governed, and he also knows that Jiang Haoran will not be able to unite the expeditionary force without doing this, so that it will form a force that can fight together and enforce orders and prohibitions, but Jiang Haoran handed over all these posthumous things to him, which suddenly made him feel numb in his scalp, this is a chore, all kinds of forces will try their best to preserve their own strength, and if they fail to meet their requirements, I am afraid that they will be offended, and I am afraid that I can only go one way to the dark on the road of the expeditionary force.
Leng Rushuang came back soon, and at the same time brought the news of the airborne regiment, for Liu Bao's record, Jiang Haoran seemed not surprised, very bland, in his opinion, this should be the result, it is normal. But Huang Jie opened his mouth and didn't close it for a long time, he didn't hear of the record of the special operations division, but he ended a wing of the Japanese army in half an hour, his own casualties were less than two hundred, and he had to save all kinds of materials, even if it was a sneak attack, even if the weapons and individual quality of the special operations division were far higher than the Japanese army, but this result really made him unable to digest it for a while.
At this moment, the roar of machine guns and machine guns was suddenly heard outside, and the direction of the sound was definitely from the air.
Jiang Haoran's face suddenly changed greatly, and he secretly said that it was not good, and the enemy was probably coming to fight for air supremacy.
