Chapter 683: The Commander
On the third day of his arrival in Korea, Xiao Zhenlei inspected the Chinese military base stationed in Busan, where an infantry regiment, an air force flying regiment, and a naval base are stationed, and the naval base is permanently stationed with more than 20 ships, including cruisers, destroyers, mine-strike ships, and submarines, which are mainly responsible for cruising missions near the Sea of Japan. The position of the Busan naval base is less important, and the number of ships and officers stationed there may be reduced.
When they arrived at the Busan military base, it was already very late, and Xiao Zhenlei and his entourage stayed directly in the guest house of the base, and most of the officers and men in the base did not know about the arrival of Xiao Zhenlei and others, and only the base commander, deputy commander, chief of staff, and political training committee members knew.
After dinner, Xiao Zhenlei wrote down the situation he had seen after the inspection in the past few days in his notebook, and then sorted, counted and analyzed it.
It was only eight o'clock when it was done, and seeing that it was still early, Xiao Zhenlei brought Cai Ye and the base commander, chief of staff, deputy commander, political training committee and others over for a meeting.
After everyone arrived, Xiao Zhenlei said: "I called you over, I want to see the mental outlook and combat skills training of the officers and soldiers of the base, it is wartime, although the Eastern Theater has been abolished, and the possibility of war in this area is not great, but we still can't relax our vigilance, we must ring the alarm bell for a long time!" Therefore, how about you prepare for a simple military parade tomorrow and a joint confrontation exercise of the navy, army, and air force the day after tomorrow? Are there any difficulties? β
The generals have not yet spoken. Yang Du, one of the members of the staff group who attended the meeting, said: "President, is this too tight in terms of time. I am worried that in such a short period of time, we will have to organize a military parade, and we will have to organize confrontation exercises. It may not be well thought out, and it is easy to have problems! β
Xiao Zhenlei looked at the base commander Li Yingshi and asked, "Commander Li, are you in trouble?" β
Li Yingshi stood up and said: "Report to the president, and promise to complete the task!" β
Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "Mr. Yang's words are not unreasonable, in this way, the scale of the military parade and confrontation exercises can be made smaller, it doesn't need to be too big, just us people watch, and there are no outsiders!" The size of the exercises was controlled between the two battalions. The Air Force participates in the exercises, and the Navy has a patrol mission, so it should not participate."
"Yes, President!"
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the military parade officially began on the playground of the army barracks, with Li Yingshi leading the way in front and Xiao Zhenlei standing in an open-top car following behind to inspect the troops.
First of all, the naval phalanx, the officers and men saluted.
"Hello soldiersβ" Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand and shouted.
The officers and soldiers shouted in unison: "Hello President! β
"The soldiers are mightyβ"
"Fight for the country and have no regrets until death!"
The slogan was shouted loudly, and this momentum and momentum were indeed extraordinary. Xiao Zhenlei was still very satisfied with the spirit of the officers and men, and the navy, army, and air force of the base all had phalanxes to participate in the parade.
In addition to the phalanx, some weapons and equipment of the army units participating in the review were displayed in the review, and the army also had new artillery, new mortars, recoilless guns, tanks, armored vehicles, and other equipment participating in the review. There are also many trucks and motorcycles.
After returning to the viewing platform, the troops under review began to pass by the viewing platform in a separate manner, first by the naval phalanx and then by the air force phalanx. Finally, there are the phalanxes of the various units of the army, and finally the phalanxes of the various equipment. Air Force fighters also lined up in the sky and passed above the barracks for inspection.
The parade was not long, it ended in less than an hour. Xiao Zhenlei still found some problems when he inspected the troops, it may be a sudden attack, Li Yingshi and others did not have enough time to prepare, so there were still some problems in the whole process, such as the queue was not very neat, and when the column was carried out, the queue of some phalanxes was not neat, and the pace was inconsistent, but it was still worthy of affirmation in terms of mental outlook.
After a day of confrontation exercises, two infantry battalions were engaged in confrontation, allowing each side to have twenty fighters at the same time, which could be called upon at any time, unless the fighters were sure to be destroyed.
The confrontation between these two battalions is mobile warfare, after all, in terms of the current military equipment and training level of the Chinese army, there is no comparison of trench position warfare at all, but if it falls into passivity and is forced to defend, it can only dig trenches and fight positions.
The confrontation exercise began at 9 a.m. and lasted until 3 p.m., and both sides adopted various tactics, such as dividing troops, advancing in several directions, concentrating troops, forcibly assaulting, interspersed with detours, outflanking, tactical retreat, forcible attack, and forced defense. The commanders of both sides dazzled the generals watching the battle with their use of tactics.
Xiao Zhenlei asked Cai Yi, who was sitting next to him, "Songpo, what do you think?" β
Cai Yi said: "In terms of tactics, both sides have used it well, giving full play to the role of weapons, the red commander is more stable and regular in the use of tactics, and has the courage and courage to face the enemy, and the blue commander likes to use dangerous tactics in command, in fact, this is not a shortcoming, if you can have sufficient intelligence support, it is easy to win the battle!" β
Xiao Zhenlei nodded: "Well, in the art of commanding, each has its own style, which is related to a person's character, in fact, just like Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, you must know yourself and know your opponent in order to win all battles, this knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is not only about having a full understanding of the enemy's army strength, morale, equipment, and combat effectiveness, but also about studying and figuring out the character of the enemy commander, finding the weaknesses of the opponent's character and acting style, only in this way can you win all battles!" β
When the generals heard Xiao Zhenlei's words, they couldn't help but admire.
At one o'clock before leaving, Xiao Zhenlei was working, and Yang Yongtai came in with a telegram to report: "President, Director Hu of the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau has called, and the telegram says that after the interrogation, the two assassins have confessed, and the mastermind behind the scenes is the North Korean radicals led by Syngman Rhee and others, and he has now sent people to monitor Syngman Rhee and other high-level figures, and he can arrest people at any time. β
Xiao Zhenlei thought about it when he heard this, and said to Yang Yongtai: "Find Mr. Yang and them, I want to hear the opinions of the staff group!" β
"Yes, President!"
Receiving Xiao Zhenlei's recruitment, Yang Du, Yang Shiqi, Liang Qichao, Tang Shaoyi and others quickly dressed up and rushed over.
"You're all here? Have a seat! Xiao Zhenlei wrote something in the small notebook while greeting Tang Shaoyi and the others.
"President Xie!" Everyone thanked each other and found a place to sit down, the conditions here are limited, and they can only find a stool to sit on.
The staff quickly brought tea, and everyone waited while drinking tea.
Xiao Zhenlei quickly finished the work at hand, turned the chair to face everyone, and said: "Just now, Director Hu of the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau sent a telegram that the assassin has been recruited, and the main envoy behind the scenes is the radical officials headed by North Korean Cabinet Minister Syngman Rhee and others. I'd like to hear from you! β
"Ah-" This news came out of Xiao Zhenlei's mouth, which still surprised the members of the staff group, it stands to reason that Syngman Rhee's people are also some forces in North Korea, and the benefits that Huaguo promised them are not a lot, and the number of these radical people in North Korea in the North Korean cabinet is not small, almost the same as the royalist faction, but I didn't expect that these people are still not satisfied, and they actually want to assassinate Xiao Zhenlei.
Yang Du frowned after hearing this: "Why did those people do this? Don't they know that this is a trick for them? If they succeed and the president is assassinated, they will not be able to please them, and the whole of North Korea will be wiped out, and they will naturally not be spared, they are harming others and themselves! I really can't figure it out! But things have happened, this matter can't just be just settled, since they dare to do this kind of thing, they must bear the consequences, treat these people, catch one and kill the other, absolutely can't be merciful, these people, the more polite they are to them, the more they kick their noses in the face, so treat these people, none of them can be let go, grab and kill them all."
Liang Qichao objected to Yang Du's words, he said: "I don't approve of killing them all, after all, these people are all high-ranking officials of the North Korean cabinet, even if they oppose our Huaguo, it is normal, arrest and lock them up, there is no need to kill people, they are just different from our philosophy!" β
Yang Shiqi immediately refuted Liang Qichao's words: "Mr. Liang's words, I don't dare to agree, if they didn't use assassination to oppose us, I don't object to only arresting and not killing, but they are now using the most extreme and despicable means, which is intolerable, I believe that only people like Mr. Liang will not care, but I want to ask, if the target of assassination is you, will you still maintain this point of view, my words are over!" β
Yang Shiqi's words are not serious, it is true that Liang Qichao was not the party who was assassinated, it was Xiao Zhenlei who was assassinated, and these words also stimulated Xiao Zhenlei.
At this time, Tang Shaoyi said: "Since the other party has done such a thing that people and gods are angry about, I think that killing must be killed, otherwise others will think that we are weak, and such behavior will often happen in the future." It's just that how to kill, there is an article here! β
Tang Shaoyi's words aroused Xiao Zhenlei's interest, "Oh? I don't know what Mr. Tang's high opinion is? (To be continued......)
