Yang Tianfeng ordered the ministers to select the miners from among the soldiers, not to let them mine and dig coal, but to set up a professional engineering unit to quickly dig some fortifications and prepare for the sweep of the devils.
Why not organize an engineering team from the people, Yang Tianfeng is also out of safety considerations, after all, the tunnels and fortifications they dug belong to the military scope, and they are hidden killing moves, if the enemy knows, it will bring a lot of unfavorable factors.
Therefore, the personnel of the engineering unit are required to be native-born soldiers with local families, and there must be a supervision mechanism, so as to ensure the concealment of the tunnels dug to the greatest extent. Of course, this engineering unit, which is more specialized in digging holes, will also build some field tunnel fortifications for the troops in the future, and the military pay will be different from that of other units.
Civil engineering has been around since ancient times and is constantly improving. Moreover, it is also one of the compulsory subjects in military academies of various countries. During World War II, it was used in large quantities by various countries, but it was the Japanese army that achieved good results (the Matsuyama garrison and the bloody battle of Iwo Jima), and the effect of the use of the national * army was unsatisfactory.
When he heard that Yang Tianfeng was going to transfer him to a new unit, and the military salary would remain unchanged, and there would even be an extra bonus for completing the task quickly and well, Luo Sanxi happily agreed. After all, he is familiar with this, and the danger should be lower than fighting on the battlefield.
In Yang Tianfeng's mind, what can bring civil engineering work to the extreme is the battle between the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the US army in North Korea. Beginning with the troops' creative efforts to connect the two deepened anti-artillery holes together and form a small horseshoe-shaped tunnel, the volunteers built tunnel fortifications on a large scale and carried out tunnel operations, which greatly enhanced the stability of the defense.
Tunnel fortifications are conducive to the preservation of living forces, and are conducive to repeated battles with the enemy at one or several points, thereby depleting a large number of the enemy's vital forces; It not only solves the problem of holding positions in defensive operations, but also facilitates the implementation of positional offensive operations, which is of great significance to winning the war. The tunnel operations of the Chinese People's Volunteers have raised positional warfare to a new level and enriched the content of military scholarship.
In his heart, Yang Tianfeng really hoped that in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese would die less and the country would suffer less losses. Based on this starting point, Yang Tianfeng not only wrote "The Essence of Boya Tactics" and "Special Operations Manual", but also wrote "Infantry Training Minutes", and also showed the importance of tunnel fortifications in actual combat.
No matter how strong Yang Tianfeng's personal ability is, he can only lead the troops to win a few more battles. If advanced tactical theories are popularized, the quality of Chinese soldiers can be improved, and the command level of officers can be improved, and the effect may change the course of the entire War of Resistance Against Japan.
Under Yang Tianfeng's explanation, Luo Sanxi initially understood the current focus of his work, that is, to dig fortifications in Mangdang Mountain, as for why it was there, it was not a military secret that he should know.
"All the units are selecting soldiers from miners, carpenters, and masons to concentrate on the area." Yang Tianfeng finally explained: "Of course, you can also go back to the village to recruit some honest and reliable personnel, this job is much safer than being a soldier and fighting, I believe there will be people willing to do it." But you have to be careful, let those people keep their mouths shut, you have to be responsible for supervision, try to keep it secret. ”
"Understood." Luo Sanxi became an official in vain, he was in a very happy mood, and he agreed to Yang Tianfeng's request very happily.
"You have to hurry, I'll guide you in a few days." Yang Tianfeng solemnly explained: "This is a drawing, you can understand, the progress of the project must be fast, and the quality must be excellent." ”
"I understand, the things that fight devils, I don't dare to fool with the courage to do so." Luo Sanxi took the drawing into his arms and replied seriously.
Hehe, Yang Tianfeng patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement, and shook hands with him again before letting Chen Dalong send him away.
……………
I was woken up just after falling asleep, and I was just about to ×× but found that the other party had come to my aunt, what is this feeling? Yang Tianfeng was about to scold and swear, and then sighed helplessly. Through the window, Yang Tianfeng first sent away Chen Dalong, who had come to report, in a loud voice, and then slowly got dressed and walked out.
Ma Yuming sat in the reception room beautifully, unknowingly disturbing Yang Tianfeng's good sleep. He came to report the good news, because the devil Major General Suzuki was safely sent to Chongqing, and was made a big fuss by the national government, hoping to sweep away the decline of the defeat in the Battle of Wuhan and greatly improve the morale of the people.
In Chongqing, various newspapers rushed to publish news and photographs of the Japanese generals captured alive, and people from all walks of life generally believed that this victory was of special significance at a time when the battlefields of the country were rather dull.
Chairman Chiang signed a telegram commending the three detachments of the Henan-Anhui Advance Force, saying that "you have taken a good opportunity and resolutely attacked, rushed for 100 miles, and dealt a great blow to the enemy, so you will be rewarded by telegram." In addition, the three detachments were also given new names, called the Third Guerrilla Column of the Henan-Anhui-Lu Border Region, promoted Yang Tianfeng to the commander of the major general column, and awarded a third-class Baoding Medal and a number of cash rewards.
The official telegram had not yet been issued, and Ma Yuming had already learned the news from the channels of the military commander, and hurried to express his closeness to Yang Tianfeng, and to hint to Yang Tianfeng that the help and kind words of the military commander and Director Dai were indispensable to achieve the goal so smoothly.
"Brother Yang, haha, I will change my name to General Yang in the future!" When Ma Yuming saw Yang Tianfeng coming in, he stood up and laughed, and stepped forward to shake hands.
Yang Tianfeng put away his depressed mood and squeezed out a smiling face, which seemed to be extremely affectionate, "Haha, Brother Ma, why are you here, I am about to go to the meeting!" ”
"You're welcome, no, the two of us can be regarded as a friendship in distress, so you don't have to be so hypocritical!" Ma Yuming pulled Yang Tianfeng to sit on the chair, with a smile on his face, "General Yang, brother is here to say hello to you." ”
Yang Tianfeng heard it clearly this time, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Ma, what kind of reputation are you doing, you can't go overboard with jokes, this is easy to cause criticism from others." ”
Ma Yuming took out a telegram from his briefcase and put it in Yang Tianfeng's hand, his chin raised, and he looked triumphant.
Yang Tianfeng read the telegram, and he understood in his heart that he had come to buy it. Still, he was very happy about it. People, they all have vanity, and if they are promoted, who is not happy!
"Thank you, Brother Ma, your credit is also indispensable for this, Yang will definitely thank you." Yang Tianfeng said to Ma Yuming very interestingly.
