Chapter 556: Confrontation Exercises

"Who the hell are those soldiers messing with?"

Putting down the newspaper, Qin Wei couldn't help but shake his head.

After being a flyer a few times, he returned to Haikou again. And as soon as he got off the plane, he saw the newly published newspaper...... In fact, he already knows all the news above. Stalingrad is surrounded by German troops, and it may fall at any time! Nothing remarkable. But the photos of "snow bumps" all over the sky published in the newspaper still made him speechless.

The fact that the Germans were able to use the Eskimo igloo to such an extent was enough to make the entire Arctic Circle boil. However, MacArthur was actually transferred to Egypt by Marshall, which made him unthinkable. On the other hand, Churchill actually sent Montgomery to North Africa, which made him feel even bigger...... Everyone knows what kind of person MacArthur was. Montgomery was no less arrogant than MacArthur, and even more so. In the eyes of the famous British general who defeated the "Desert Fox" Rommel, even Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar can only be regarded as heroes who scatter brute force, relying on crowd tactics and the madness of officers and soldiers to win. Although this is because Alexander and Caesar were born in such a historical circle, they did not have the opportunity to meet real opponents, so they were lucky. But he still thinks that the achievements of these two people are like an old Chinese saying: there is no hero in time, so the erector becomes famous. And Stalin, who led the Soviets to victory in the Great Patriotic War and led the Soviet Union on the road to superpower, also had no talent in Montgomery's eyes, not even a little skill, and basically only won by relying on millions of absolutely loyal Soviet officers and soldiers, as well as huge tank clusters, artillery shells, and tens of thousands of aircraft, which was similar to the success of Alexander and Caesar.

can convince Montgomery, Qin Wei only knows two people: Mao Zedong and Eisenhower!

He has visited China and conducted extensive investigations in China. I also met Mao Zedong, whom he considered a "great strategist". As for Eisenhower...... From the moment the brigadier general promoted by the firing line became commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Europe, Montgomery wanted to replace him, but in the end, he was impressed by the other party, and expressed this sentiment in his memoirs.

However, Eisenhower's ability to convince Montgomery did not mean that MacArthur could do it, especially since MacArthur was sent to Egypt after his defeat...... Qin Wei was already planning to pay a silent tribute to the British and American soldiers commanded by these two guys. How unlucky does this have to be to meet these two guys together?

***********************************************

"What the hell is this old wheat finally leaving...... His uncle, a general of the defeated army, really thinks he is an uncle. You still want to order us? ”

Li Tianxia, former commander of the 51st Division of the 74th Army. Although they are not as famous as Yu Jishi, Wang Yaowu, and Zhang Lingfu, they can be regarded as the 74th Army. That is, one of the representatives of the later reorganization of the 74th Division. Because Qin Wei transferred Zhang Lingfu's 58th Division to Hainan, and this unit was very likely to carry out many tragic beach-grabbing operations in the future, in order to enhance its strength, the commander of the 51st Division, which could fight, was specially transferred. temporarily served Zhang Lingfu as the deputy division commander.

Originally, the division commander was "demoted" to the deputy division commander. Li Tianxia was already very aggrieved. That is, Zhang Lingfu can fight better than him. That's why I'm a little convinced. But after MacArthur was rescued, he always wanted to lead the troops back to the Philippines. Because the United States was unable to help him for a while, this thing whimsically wanted China to send troops, and even found Hainan from Guangxi and Qin Wei for this one. Qin Wei didn't want to pay attention to this goods, so he asked people to take him around Hainan Island to relax. Relax and relax, but I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, MacArthur actually went to Yaxian, that is, Sanya. Zhang Lingfu's 58th Division, which was training there, was also discovered. As a result, this old wheat was immediately excited, China actually has troops that are good at beach-grabbing operations, isn't this clearly prepared for him? He rushed back to Haikou and asked Qin Wei for the command of the 58th Division.

Qin Wei didn't know what kind of psychology MacArthur dared to do this, anyway, after the other party made this request, he quickly sent the people back to Guangxi, not only that, but also contacted Zhang Fakui, asking him to disperse the American troops originally stationed in Guangxi and North Vietnam again under various names, so that they would be scattered all over the country. No more giving MacArthur a little more face. As a result, MacArthur never looked for him again, but only devoted himself to sending telegrams to the United States.

Originally, this was the end of the matter. But the people of the 58th Division didn't know where they knew the news. So, up to Zhang Lingfu and Li Tianxia, and down to the guys in the cooking class, they were all angry. Are Americans amazing? If we hadn't saved you, you would have been prisoners of the Japanese by now. How dare you ask for the command of our 58th Division with a semblance? You're a defeated general, and you're embarrassed to open this mouth? How can a person's skin be so thick? If it weren't for Qin Wei's suppression, these people might dare to settle accounts with MacArthur. And now that MacArthur is leaving, the gang is still not angry.

"Rest assured, life will not be easy when he arrives in Egypt. After all, it was the territory of the British, and the man he was facing was much more tempered than you......" Qin Wei sighed, comforting the proud soldiers of the 58th Division, and praying again for the British and American soldiers who were about to meet in Egypt.

"I don't know what these foreign devils think. Do you think this is the Qing Dynasty? Uncle him! Li Tianxia still didn't give up: "Sir, I think we should teach them a lesson." ”

"Lessons?" Qin Wei glared at this guy slantedly, "How do you want to teach a lesson?" It's up to you to duel MacArthur? ”

"Sir, our 58th Division hopes to conduct a confrontational military exercise with the U.S. military." Zhang Lingfu didn't open his mouth all the time, and then suddenly said.

“…… Exercise? Qin Wei was stunned.

"Yes." Zhang Lingfu nodded, "We want to see what these Americans have to rely on." By the way, let's also see where we are worse than the armies of these so-called powerful countries. ”

"Hehe," Qin Wei laughed dryly, "I said Zhong Lin, bullying a group of soldiers who have lost a battle, this is not like your style." ”

"It's not 'bullying'!" Zhang Lingfu stiffened his face, "I just want to try!" Let's see what makes us different from them. ”

"If you compare yourself to them now, you're bullying." Qin Wei sighed, "You don't understand the methods of helping the Yankees fight. People are taking piles of money, don't you understand? Now MacArthur's men barely have any heavy equipment except for the guns in their hands......"

"They can be seconded temporarily by the war zone." Li Tianxia added.

"You pay?" Qin Wei glared back, "Besides, do you know how many things we lack?" Still on temporary secondment? The heavy artillery of the entire theater of operations is not enough for a regular division. Is the secondment a joke in the past? ”

"But we just want to deal with them." Zhang Lingfu and the others were slightly surprised. If the equipment of the US military is so "abundant", then they are indeed suspected of bullying people now. But then again, if you don't take advantage of this time to teach those guys a lesson, when will it be? By the time those guys are fully equipped, they will already be in Africa.

"I said, why are you two so annoying?" Qin Wei was a little annoyed, "It's not a battle of life and death, your combat effectiveness is at least three or four percent, and the Yankees have a big advantage." Besides, do you need to try your hand at those guys? When we actually send troops, you will clean up the Japanese well, won't it be equivalent to defeating them? Why bother with this moment and a half? ”

"Sir, we are not afraid of the Japanese, but we haven't fought the Americans yet...... It's a rare opportunity. Zhang Lingfu said.

"It's a rare opportunity, and you hold it back for me." Qin Wei glared, and pointed to the door again: "Now let me go out and go back to the army." Dare to say one more word, Lao Tzu will shackle you to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, believe it or not? ”

"Sir......

Zhang Lingfu still wants to plead again, since he was put forward this suggestion, he really wants to try a battle with the Americans...... But seeing Qin Wei's eyes widen again, he could only give up helplessly. He didn't believe that Qin Wei would bring his troops to victory in the War of Resistance, but he believed that if he said more, Qin Wei would definitely trouble him. He has known this guy in front of him for a long time, thinking that at the beginning, this guy was not attentive to watching a drama at Central University, and was slapped in the back by himself, but he remembered it for a long time, and one day he met him at the door of the Ministry of Defense building, and he beat him back...... That's a stingy guy.

……

"Exercises with the Americans? Let's not talk about whether people have time or not, even if they have ......"

Qin Wei actually appreciated the requirements of Zhang Lingfu and others. Soldiers, they should have this kind of momentum that no one is convinced. But he appreciated and appreciated, but he still couldn't agree. In case Lingfu and the others lose, this is naturally shameless; However, if it wins, it will also make the national army despise the US military, and the state of MacArthur's troops at this time obviously cannot truly represent the combat effectiveness of the US army. As he said, Americans use money to fight wars. But MacArthur's group of defeated soldiers now only had guns with them, not even a few cannons. What is there to be proud of in this kind of army?

But after thinking about it, Qin Wei suddenly had an idea again. So, he quickly called Yu Lingling over:

"Immediately send a report to the theater command, saying that I plan to have our troops conduct a confrontational exercise with them when they are leaving...... It is hoped that the Theater Command will approve and transmit this request to General MacArthur. (To be continued......)
