Chapter 325: Post-War Summary

"I can't imagine that the Northeast wants to promote mechanization, and in the end, it is still necessary to advocate these two legs." After personally trying the sled, Qin Yu finally approved the move to promote the sled in the army.

"There is no way, the snow is difficult to travel, this northeast is a big winter, a snow, whether it is horses, or cars, are quite restricted, the battlefield march, many places are not passable, relying on the existing equipment is difficult to achieve the effect of rapid delivery of troops. For now, skiing is the best way to move around the snow quickly and individually. If you use cavalry, the consumption of horses is too great. Lan Tianwei frowned, if the problem of the snow march is not solved, I am afraid that the snow wolf plan will end in failure if it is less than half of the way.

Qin Yu shook his head and said, "The sleigh is certainly more efficient for snow marching, but it is not fundamental. The territory of the Russian Far East is vast, and if you really want to say it, large armies are dispatched and travel with their backs to the railway, and sleds are suitable only for small forces, as long as they occupy key points along the railway, they can occupy the initiative. And these transport hubs are also a battleground, the key is to build roads, to connect important towns with convenient transportation, in the future the Bolsheviks want to fight guerrilla warfare, but only in the field"

With the news of the change in the battle situation on the front line, Qin Yu was already discussing with Lan Tianwei at this time how to prevent and control the Red Russian guerrillas outside Boli City.

"Report!"

"Come in."

"Marshal, all the generals who came to participate in the meeting have arrived." Adjutant Zhang Ting saluted and said aloud.

"Well, Brother Ji Hao, let's go together, after so many battles, we finally ran into a hard bone. It also makes these guys with their eyes above the top sober up, the Northeast Army has not yet reached the point of invincibility in the world. Qin Yu said to Lan Tianwei when he heard this.

Lan Tianwei nodded, one step behind Qin Yu, and followed towards the conference room.

At this time, the conference room will be full of stars, and there will be a lot of discussion.

"This battle was really fierce, and half of the soldiers of an integrated division were defeated. If it weren't for Zuo Yunong's timely rescue, Staff Officer Luo would be in great danger. ”

"Who said no, but although the losses were large, they were able to kill two Japanese major generals in one battle, which was the first of our Chinese soldiers since the late Qing Dynasty. After this battle, the 6th Division had to make great efforts to reorganize, and the commander of the 3rd Division, the main force that had been unresolved, was decided. Lodge is taking a step further and is also safe. ”

"There's nothing to envy. These are all fought in the sea of blood of people's corpses, with the style of rewarding the meritorious service of the commander, if it were not for the staff officers of several armies, maybe Zuo Yunong and Luo Qi would be transferred to the military headquarters. ”

"Marshal, the chief of staff has arrived!"

Huo Ran, the military general who was still discussing here, stood up and saluted Qin Yu and Lan Tianwei who came in from the door.

"Sit down, the meeting begins. Let's first listen to the report of the statistical department's battle damage. Qin Yu said a word, and sat down in the reserved seat in the first row.

Lieutenant Colonel Hu Jun, who came to the stage, looked at the generals gathered in the audience. It's inevitable that I'm a little nervous in my heart, but I can't get out of the basket at this time, so I opened the text and began to read:

"In this battle, our 6th Division and logistics soldiers killed a total of 4,719 people, 7 people were missing, and 317 people died of disease. 417 people were seriously injured and 955 were slightly injured. LOSSES 37MM 67 FLAT-FIRE INFANTRY GUNS. 11 75MM mountain guns, 7 field guns, and 2 105MM howitzers. The battle consumed a total of 25,700 rounds of artillery shells, other bullets, medicine. Grain and so on are still being counted. ”

"The Japanese side killed the commander of the brigade of Major General Baoto, Yamashita Yuhe, and Hamamian helped about 6,573 Japanese troops, and captured 3,146 soldiers and officers. 13 cannons, 5,770 rifles and a number of ammunition were seized. The Russian army killed 2,192 people and captured 3,573. However, the whereabouts of the main culprit Checherov are still unknown, and he should still be absconding. ”

"Killed a thousand enemies, lost eight hundred, although the record is brilliant, but after this battle, the sixth division was also disabled." The people in the audience suddenly looked shocked, and whispered again, they had only heard that the battle in the north was fierce, but they didn't expect it to be so tragic.

"Be quiet, and if you make any more noise, you will invite the gendarmes to come in." Lan Tianwei got up and glanced around sternly, and some chaotic discussions suddenly stopped.

"The Northeast Army has never seen any battles until now, you guys are getting more and more confused, and all the strict military discipline has been left behind, if you are really impatient to sit in your current position, I will send you back to the furnace for transformation." After the report, Qin Yu walked onto the stage with no expression on his face.

"Don't think I'm joking, I've discussed it with the chief of staff, in view of the rapid pace of expansion of the Northeast Army, a large number of officers have been promoted from below, this ability is inevitably not in line with the current position, and the Northeast has always lacked higher military academies, especially the training of middle and senior officers from the regiment to the division level, especially the training of middle and senior officers. This year has come to an end, and from next year, the Northeast will officially prepare for the relevant matters of the Army University, and none of you will be spared. ”

"Getting back to the point, let's look at this Boli battle, although it is only a battle between division-level troops, but this is the first large-scale war between us and the Japanese army, and it is also the Northeast Army that has invested the most new weapons, the most difficult to supply, and the most tragic one. We won the battle of Boli, and it is inseparable from the determination of the officers and men of the 6th Division to fight to the death. However, the problems revealed by this war are also worth reflecting on, in this battle, in addition to the firepower of the division, six 105MM howitzers, 70 37MM infantry anti-aircraft guns, 400 German-style MP18 submachine guns, and 50,000 grenades were successively invested. It can be said that it is the first time that the Northeast Army has invested a large number of advanced weapons in such a concentrated manner, but under the superior firepower, it is still restrained by the Japanese army, Zuo Yunong, what advantages do you think the Japanese army has? ”

Zuo Yunong Huo Di, who was named and asked questions in the audience, stood up, just finished the battle. Zuo Yunong, who originally looked strong and sturdy, was unusually emaciated, and he was afraid that he would lose more than ten catties of meat in this battle.

"Marshal, although the 6th Division won this battle, it also exposed the problem that the Northeast Army was expanding too fast, and the training of soldiers and officers did not keep up in time. At one time, the Japanese standing army mobilized more than one million in the Russo-Japanese War, and the Japanese army used in the Liaodong battlefield directly exceeded 300,000. At present, the Japanese standing army has only 12 divisions. It is the essence of the Japanese Army system since the Russo-Japanese War. Both the officers and the individual soldiers are above the Northeast Army. The main reaction is in the soldier's shooting, stabbing, infantry coordination, and reaction speed. This is also the main reason why the 6th Division has superior firepower and still fights very hard. In addition, the commander of the Japanese army, Toshio Otani, had very rich combat experience, and he used the night battle to offset the superiority of our army's firepower and sent a roundabout unit to flank our logistics. As a result, dozens of flat-fire guns either self-destructed or fell to the enemy. Once the main force is gone, Otani Toshio can also retreat decisively, reduce losses and preserve strength to the maximum, such an opponent is really the only one seen in the life of Yu Nong. If it weren't for the appearance of aviation, the 6th Division would have lost this battle. ”

"Hmm. The chief of staff and I have also realized what you said that the impact of too rapid military expansion cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. It can be said that this battle represents the highest level of equipment of the Northeast Army at present. It is still like this, and it can also reflect the strength of the Japanese army from the side. Those of you here should not think that after a few victories, you really think that the Northeast Army can slaughter Russia and destroy Japan, and the world is invincible. Beginning next year, division-level confrontation drills will be held one after another, and the worst score will be the worst. The division commander was transferred to the reserve, which also let you know that the current position is not an iron rice bowl, and you want to keep your current position and get a chance to compete with Japan and Russia in the future. I trained desperately. As long as the combat effectiveness of the troops is raised, there will always be suitable posts waiting for you. ”

"Zuo Yunong, commander of the 6th Division, was transferred to the commander of the 3rd Division and concurrently served as the chief of staff of the 1st Army."

When the first personnel transfer of the Military Administration was issued, if it weren't for the military police outside, I am afraid that it would set off another wave, looking at a few inquiring glances, Qin Yu smiled indifferently, the chief of staff of the First Army was originally Xu Lanzhou, but after all, he was an officer of the old army who had risen from the patrol army, and he had not experienced modern military training, and his knowledge of modern weapons was limited, so he was really not qualified for the post of chief of staff of the First Army. Fortunately, the status of the newly established Military Administration was getting higher and higher, so Xu Lanzhou was transferred to the Military Administration as the director, and the post of chief of staff was naturally vacant.

"Rocky is the commander of the 6th Division, and his rank remains the same." According to the practice of the Republic of China, when you reach the level of division commander, you will have the rank of lieutenant general. However, the Republic of China was newly established, and there were only about a dozen divisions in the country, and the division commander was even more unusual than the provincial overseer, and the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder was well deserved. Now that the Republic of China division commanders are overflowing, it is obviously inappropriate to re-enter the rank of lieutenant general, but this convention was the first to be broken in the Northeast.

"The 3rd Division was transferred to Boli, and the 6th Division was withdrawn to Harbin for rest."

What followed was a series of military changes, and after a hard battle, the Northeast Army finally occupied Boli, and it was considered to have a solid bridgehead on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River.

There were too many changes this time, and the meeting ended, and the long-suppressed generals and officials discussed it again.

……

"Hurry, hurry, clean up the streets, or you'll be hungry tonight." At this time, the soldiers of the 6th Division had already entered Boli, directing the Japanese and Russian prisoners of war to clean up the streets and transport food, cold protection and other things to the city in large quantities, and the logistics team that had been interrupted in the rear was restored to normal again. At this time, the 6th Division lost nearly half, and it was not a small pressure to suppress more than 20,000 people, including prisoners of war and the Russian army in the city, but fortunately, the logistics team of the 6th Division was also trained to a certain extent, and it was not a problem to perform some simple tasks.

Hearing Liu Haoqing say that there was nothing to eat at night, these captives suddenly surged, and their movements were a little faster, in this cold day, there was no food to eat, and the night was even more uncomfortable than going to the battlefield.

"Checherov, raised by a bitch, if it weren't for him, how would we have ended up like this?" A Russian cursed indignantly, looking at the Russians around him who were eating and drinking spicy, if it weren't for Checherov's benefit to the Japanese, he would have been able to eat and drink well in Boli City now. Like him, the other Russian prisoners did the same, and the lead ran away, leaving their minions to suffer here after losing the battle.

While moving things, the Russians were far away from those Japanese prisoners, and even hated these Japanese.

"Team Liu, quickly, the appointment of your superiors is here, and the chief of staff invites you over!"

Two soldiers who were familiar with Liu Haoqing ran over with a smile on their faces, fought a long and hard battle, and now they finally got through, but it was a pity for those brothers who were already lying on the ground.

"Damn, the left and right are just promoted to a higher level of official, with the background of the fat man that week, he is still Lao Tzu's superior, and this official doesn't do it." Liu Haoqing shook his head depressedly, Zhou Mingkai's name is Zhou Mingkai, he is a member of the Zhou family in Benxi, that Zhou Mingkai always boasts about how close he is to the family of the handsome wife, such a relationship has gone to the sky, what is a little mistake in the army? Liu Haoqing was originally introduced by someone to a soldier who jumped from Tianjin in Guannei, and Li Changtai's wife in Tianjin was strictly controlled, and he was called Deputy Division Commander Li in the army, and the division commander was Li Changtai's wife. It's just a joke, but several important positions in the division are occupied by a few relatives of Mrs. Li Changtai, and not to mention those individuals who make some mistakes, and few people dare to care if the army is about to be tossed and scattered. In contrast, Zhou Mingkai fled when he encountered the superior Japanese army, and it was only a matter of one sentence to cover up this crime.

"Chief of Staff!" After entering the division headquarters, Liu Haoqing saluted.

"Well, Liu Haoqing, this logistics attack, your appearance is good, the 6th Division killed a lot of soldiers, almost turned into an empty shelf, and killed a few battalion commanders, you can wield the logistics to decisively destroy the materials that should have fallen into the hands of the enemy, the marshal listened to it, and praised it, this time you were exceptionally promoted to the commander of the 691st Battalion, and you will stay in the 6th Division in the future, are you willing?" Luo Qi said with a smile, about his new appointment has also arrived, but the people below don't know yet, and they don't care about the title of Chief of Staff Liu Haoqing.

"Yes, of course I am willing, as long as I don't work under Zhou Mingkai, even if I am a small soldier." Liu Haoqing was stunned at first, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, he didn't expect that he had entered the Northeast Army from outside the customs to the battalion commander of the regular army in less than two years, although there was no shortage of straw bags like Zhou Fatzi, but the rewards and punishments were strict, brave and good at fighting, and it was inevitable to have one or two resident insects.

"It seems that you have a lot of grievances against that Zhou Mingkai." Rocky is on the right path.

"This is natural, if it weren't for this Zhou Mingkai, how could so many ordnance fall into the hands of the Japanese army, and so many brothers would not have died." Liu Haoqing does not hide his authenticity. "Even if you strip me of my military uniform, I'll say so."

"Haha, our Northeast military merits will be rewarded, and those who pass will be punished. On the whole, it is still fair, that Zhou Mingkai has been handed over to the military court, for his crimes, if you don't eat a gun, you will be imprisoned for life, and you will not be given eye medicine in the future. Rocky is righteous, this matter Rocky is also heard that the marshal lost his temper on the spot after hearing about it, if the team was small before, with the temperament of the marshal, he would have proposed to shoot him a long time ago, but now the Northeast military family has a big cause, not the time to act with a temper, naturally there is a set of military punishment procedures waiting for Zhou Mingkai.

Hearing Zhou Mingkai's fate, Liu Haoqing's face was stunned, and the blood that had been cooled boiled again. (To be continued......)
