Zhang Xinghan, together with Liu Jianguo and others, walked into the conference and war room of the headquarters one after another, and everyone sat around the table.

A soldier had already poured tea for everyone, Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took two deep breaths, and said with a cigarette: "Let's talk about it, what good suggestions do you have for the arrangement of these 6,000 recruits." ”

"Brigade seat, at least one-third of the 5,000 troops of our garrison brigade are recruits, although they have all gone through the defense of Shenyang a few days ago and have seen blood, but it will still take some time to become a qualified veteran.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the combat effectiveness of our troops has been maintained at a relatively reasonable level, and in addition, we have relatively advanced weapons and equipment, so the new recruits will have little impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the troops.

However, if another 6,000 new recruits were to come in suddenly, it would cause a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops, and even half of our current combat strength would not be able to be maintained. Liu Jianguo was the first to express his opinion.

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded, Liu Jianguo's analysis did make sense.

"Brigade seat, Lao Liu is right, if it is in peacetime, it doesn't hurt us, we can disperse the veterans of the army into various units and train slowly, but now we are at a critical juncture in wartime, and the army may make a comeback at any time, and replenishing 6,000 new soldiers at this time will do more harm than good to the combat effectiveness of the troops." Wang Yicai followed the analysis.

"So what do you have to do? The army still needs to be expanded, because if we want to hold Shenyang, we can hold out for a while with our current strength alone, but we can't hold it for a lifetime, so we must expand our troops. Zhang Xinghan frowned.

The crowd fell into deep thought and whispering.

At this time, Gao Zhihang, who had never said anything, suddenly spoke: "Traveler, I have a suggestion, you don't think it will work." ”

"Brother Ziheng, please speak." For Gao Zhihang, Zhang Xinghan was still very respectful, and hurriedly said.

"Commander Liu and Commander Wang just now are very right, since it is inconvenient to expand these 6,000 recruits into various regiments and battalions at the moment, then can we form these 6,000 recruits into a separate unit for regular training, of course, the number is temporary."

Seeing that there was no objection, Gao Zhihang continued: "These 6,000 recruits can be temporarily organized into a second-line reserve force, training in peacetime, and being responsible for logistics tasks such as transportation, rescuing the wounded, and building fortifications in wartime, so that we don't have to risk mobilizing so many civilians to help us with logistics work."

As for the training of recruits, I think it is best to give it to wounded soldiers who have been injured and disabled, or who have not yet recovered, because they have a wealth of battlefield experience and have experienced life and death tests.

Of course, in order to raise the training efficiency of new recruits and enable them to become an army as soon as possible, it is also necessary to transfer some grass-roots officers from the front-line units to serve as military commanders and train and train new recruits together with the wounded soldiers.

Regarding the weapons and equipment needed for the training of recruits, isn't there a lot of hoarding in the warehouses of the Shenyang Arsenal? And we have changed their clothes, I think, we can let the recruits shoot as much as they want, not stingy with bullets, and give the recruits more opportunities to shoot, so as to improve the shooting level of the recruits as soon as possible. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan thought of the hundreds of wounded soldiers in the hospital in a blink of an eye, although they were all injured and could not go to the battlefield for the time being.

However, it is no problem to help train recruits, and Gao Zhihang is right, these wounded soldiers have experienced the baptism of war and the test of life and death, and their will to fight and experience are far stronger than those so-called instructors.

Because they are the real military instructors.

Moreover, the Shenyang Arsenal has hoarded so many guns, ammunition and weapons, and they are also put away, and they are really used to train new soldiers.

"Okay, Brother Ziheng's suggestion is very good." With a decision in his heart, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but praise him with joy.

"The brigade has won the award, in fact, I also thought of it by chance." Gao Zhihang smiled humbly, and suddenly said with a straight face: "But the brigade, Ziheng has a request, I hope the brigade can agree." ”

"Even if you say that you have one request, that is, ten hundred or hundred, I will try my best to meet you." Zhang Xinghan thought that Gao Zhihang would put forward a request for fighters, and he had no fear.

"Please take the brigade seat, allow me to select a group of knowledgeable patriotic young men from this batch of recruits, I want to train as many pilots as possible for our garrison brigade." Gao Zhihang is not without bitterness.

Zhang Xinghan was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was full of emotion, and said: "No problem, before the reorganization of the troops, you pick first, and you can take away everything you think is a material that can be made." ”

As a modern soldier, no one knows better than Zhang Xinghan how important the position of the Air Force is in modern warfare.

It is no exaggeration to say that air supremacy in a battle represents victory and defeat to a large extent.

Gaining air supremacy is tantamount to winning and vice versa.

And the air force in his hands is still too weak compared to the entire book, after all, the Northeast Lecture Hall has been discontinued.

If a large number of active pilots die in battle, there will be a fault line in aviation talent, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The reason why Gao Zhihang was bitter and helpless was probably because he thought of this aspect.

Moved by Gao Zhihang's feelings of serving the country wholeheartedly, Zhang Xinghan immediately agreed without hesitation.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xinghan suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Ziheng, my brother Zhang Xinghua and more than 100 of his alumni have just arrived in Shenyang from Beiping, they are all college students of Yenching University, and they are considered high-level talents. ”

"Okay, all the officers and men of the lowly air force thank you for the brigade seat." Gao Zhihang stood up and saluted.

"Brother Ziheng is also for the sake of resisting the big plan, thinking about the country and the nation for the long term, so you don't need to thank me." Zhang Xinghan followed and said.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, let's break up the meeting, the founding of the country, the reorganization of the recruits will be handed over to you to be responsible, as for the number of the recruits, it will be called the Shenyang Reserve Regiment, divided into three regiments, the temporary regiment commander and battalion commander, you will discuss it, and draw people from each battalion to go over." Zhang Xinghan commanded.

"Yes!" Liu Jianguo and the others stood up and responded in unison.

At this moment, Xiao Lizi, the commander of the communications company, suddenly ran in in a hurry, and before he could salute, he said to Zhang Xinghan: "Luzao, it's not good, I just got the news that I have gathered the troops of three divisions again, and I have now arrived in Lushun one after another, and I may launch an attack on Shenyang again." ”

"What?" Everyone, including Zhang Xinghua, heard this, and Zhang Xinghan was surprised, he didn't expect that he would be ready to retaliate so quickly, and he would mobilize three divisions at once, such a big move.

Could it be that the country has been completely controlled by militarism?

Unable to think about this, Zhang Xinghan asked, "Where did you get this news?" Is it accurate? ”

"It was sent by an unfamiliar radio station, and it even indicated the strength and time of the army's assembly." Xiao Li Zi said.

"Strange radio?" Zhang Xinghan wondered in his heart, who would send a reminder to him? Military commanders? No, the military command has not yet been established at this time.

Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army spy? This is even more unlikely.

"Brigade, I think that no matter whether the content of this message is true or not, we had better prepare for the battle in advance and take precautions." Liu Jianguo saw that Zhang Xinghan was silent and silent, and suggested.

"Well, with the surname that I will repay myself, I have suffered such a big loss, and it is impossible to swallow my anger and be willing to suffer a loss, so I would rather believe it than believe it."

Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Pass my order, the second regiment will immediately enter Sujiatun, build field fortifications along the railway station, dig more anti-artillery holes and air-raid shelters, and at the same time mobilize the people to help demolish the railways along the Sujiatun to the South-South Manchurian Railway as much as possible, and blow up all bridges and other transportation arteries." ”

In addition, the 3rd Regiment immediately strengthened the fortifications in the South Canal and the south of the city to build a second line of defense.

The cavalry company and a regiment immediately went out of the city and dispersed to the countryside, especially the area east of Shenyang, mobilized the people of the villages in the countryside, carried all the grain to Shenyang, and fought the war with scorched earth. ”

The guard battalion has stepped up security patrols in the city to prevent lurking agents from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. ”

"Yes!" Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai, Liu Guodong and others responded at the same time, and immediately took orders and left.

"Brigade, I'll go back first." Takashi Fairway.

"Well, Brother Ziheng can send more reconnaissance planes to the east to reconnoiter the movements of the Kwantung Army, if there is anything abnormal, please report to Xinghan immediately." Zhang Xinghan nodded.

"Yes." Gao Zhihang stood up and saluted and was also ordered to leave.

After everyone was ordered to leave one after another, Zhang Xinghan paced and groaned for a while, and said: "Xiao Lizi, you immediately send a telegram to General Ma Zhanshan, the commander of the Heihe garrison and the commander of the Third Infantry Brigade, in my name. ”

"At the same time, I sent a telegram to General Li Du, deputy commander of the Jilin Frontier Defense, asking him to also put the country first, and the Ministry of Fire Rate to come to help, and all the ammunition and weapons of the troops coming to the aid were provided by our garrison brigade."

"Yes!" Xiao Lizi happily accepted the order, and after saluting, he turned around and left.
