Not long after the envoy sent by Zhang Zhidong left, Sun Liechen, who heard the news, rushed over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the chief of the general staff of the Liaodong Army, Sun Liechen also likes silver.

However, Sun Liechen liked soldiers and soldiers more.

As soon as he rushed into the headquarters, Sun Liechen asked: "Commander, I just heard that Lord Zhang Zhidong not only sent us silver and medicine, but also sent us nearly 3,000 recruits......

"Your nose is really sensitive, you know it so quickly......" Yang Xingguo replied with a wry smile.

"That's right, more than 2,800 people. Special Envoy Zhang Zhidong did not tell a lie, more than 2,000 people came to Liaodong voluntarily to join our Liaodong Army. What's more, at least half of the more than 2,000 people are veterans who have served as soldiers and killed people......"

Sun Liechen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Great, commander." I'm worrying that the losses of a few regiments are too great, and where to get some veterans to replenish them, it's just a matter of driving whatever you want. Commander, since I'm already here, why don't you take them away and ......divide them?"

"Your appetite is really big, more than 2,800 people, one person wants to take them all away, don't even think about ......it," Yang Xingguo shook his head and vetoed.

Seeing that Sun Liechen was directly anxious, Yang Xingguo hurriedly explained: "It's useless for you to be anxious, there are many scholars among the more than 2,800 people, many of whom are young people who have studied Western studies, and it is too wasteful to let them become soldiers......

"Wait for the teaching group to pick it out first, and you can take all the rest with you......"

"Those educated young people are needed in every place in the five counties of Liaoning. Even if they really want to be soldiers, they have to go to the training regiment and train as officers. So, on this issue, you have no room for bargaining. ”

Of the more than 2,800 people, only 2,500 were finally taken away by Sun Liechen.

However, even so, Sun Liechen was still very happy.

Because, these people are good to use. Two more main regiments will regain their combat effectiveness.

And in the next few months, Yang Xingguo did not make any mistakes.

Under Zhang Zhidong's unremitting publicity, many hot-blooded young people in the south of the Yangtze River flocked to Liaozhong regardless of the obstacles. I want to join the Liaodong Army.

In the face of these hot-blooded young people, Yang Xingguo was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth again.

Because, with the participation of these young people and talents, whether it is the local government of the five counties in Liaozhong or the arsenal under the Liaodong Army. Field Hospital, Teaching Corps, Logistics Department...... A large number of intellectuals have been replenished, which has well alleviated the problem of insufficient talent in the Liaodong Army.

Speaking of field hospitals, we have to say that Zhang Wenhua, the director of the hospital, under his efforts and the attack of a large amount of silver, 13 of the fifty old Maozi military doctors finally decided to stay.

When Yang Xingguo reported the situation to Lao Maozi, Lao Maozi of Liaoyang City agreed without even saying a word.

Of course, this is not that Lao Maozi is afraid of the Liaodong Army.

It's because Lao Maozi thinks that the Liaodong Army is still useful now, and there is no need to fall out with the Liaodong Army for more than a dozen military doctors. Besides. Lao Maozi is different from the Liaodong Army, as an old imperialist, their army's medical system is already very perfect, and there are more than a dozen military doctors, which has no impact on the entire army.

When the entire Liaodong Army was developing in a good direction, Li Zhilong, who was stationed in Anshan County, had already figured out the strength and garrison of the Japanese army on the opposite side after several days of reconnaissance.

Although the Anshan line was garrisoned by four infantry wings and one field artillery wing of the Japanese army.

However, because of the entire line of defense. There are too many passes through which the Liaodong Army can carry out interspersed attacks.

Of the four wings of devil infantry, except for one that was left as a mobile unit, the other three wings were all stationed in the eight checkpoint fortresses on the Anshan line.

Some checkpoints have two infantry brigades stationed in the devil. Some checkpoints have an infantry brigade of devils stationed.

Because the devils are on the defensive, and there is artillery support, the entire defense line can be described as very tight, not giving the Liaodong army any chance to attack them.

After looking at the devil's defensive layout again, Li Zhilong's face was still full of helplessness.

After shaking his head, he complained to the chief of staff: "****." We are still not devils in the end, why are we all shrunken turtles, and it is very difficult for us to fight a battle? ”

The chief of staff looked at Li Zhilong as if he was looking at an alien and said, "Commander, are you crazy......

"Isn't it right for a devil to be a turtle with a shrunken head? We can also take this opportunity to train our troops. ”

Speaking of this, the chief of staff seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly reminded: "Regiment commander, don't mess around...... It really angered the devils on the other side, and with the current strength of our regiment, it is very likely that we will not be able to stop their all-out attack......"

Li Zhilong shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, the Japanese army opposite us will not do this...... Even if they really plan to attack us, as long as the strength is no more than one wing, our regiment can definitely hold them back for five days by taking advantage of the terrain......"

The chief of staff continued to remind: "What if the Japanese offensive force exceeds one infantry wing? “

"They won't, and they won't dare to ......," Yang Xingguo replied confidently.

"The Japanese have only one wing of mobile troops, and attacking us with more than one wing means that they have to transfer troops from eight checkpoints on the defensive line. In this way, there will be a gap in the defense line that the devils have worked so hard to build. “

"At that time, as long as one regiment of troops is inserted into the Japanese defense line through the gap, it will affect the entire battle situation, so the Japanese troops opposite us cannot afford to take this risk."

Seeing that the chief of staff finally showed an expression of approval on his face, Li Zhilong continued: "As for military training, I have seen that the current training and training are of little significance to enhancing the combat effectiveness of a regiment......

"After all, the more than 1,000 people who have been replenished to us are from the garrison regiment, and those who should be trained have already been trained."

"The political commissars that the three battalions have just been equipped with are now seeing good results. Over the course of a few days, the morale of the three battalions was raised. Even the initiative of the soldiers in training has improved a lot......"

"It's not cost-effective to use all such good morale and enthusiasm for training that doesn't make much sense......

The chief of staff seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Commander, what do you mean?" “

"Actual combat training ......"

"Since the soldiers are being instigated by the political commissar to scream, then we will let the soldiers vent on the battlefield. Achieving military training is the best way to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops......"

At this time, the chief of staff had already agreed with Li Zhilong's idea from the bottom of his heart. However, the little reason that was still left in his mind reminded him to speak again: "Actual combat training, as long as the scale is not large, control the casualties." In addition, it is impossible for the Japanese army to concentrate heavy troops to retaliate against us, which is indeed a good way to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. It's just that the devil opposite us didn't give us this chance at all? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhilong also showed a helpless expression on his face. (To be continued.) )
