Chapter 289: Transfer

But Hu Lian has made many military exploits anyway, and he is indeed resourceful, and he has also shown extraordinary courage in many bloody battles, and it seems that it is unreasonable not to promote, Hu Weidong originally planned to appoint Hu Lian as the chief of staff of the 15th Army, but after Kanazawa Masayoshi mentioned the Marine Corps, Hu Weidong immediately realized that Hu Lian seemed to have a better place to go.

The most difficult thing for the Marines is not to land on the beach (because the landing will usually be made in a weakly defended location by the enemy, and there will certainly be strong fire support. Rather, it is to withstand the frantic counterattack of the enemy's large forces after hearing the news, and to buy time for our main forces to go ashore, so the most important thing for the commander of the Marine Corps is not to be good at attacking, but to be good at defending, especially the field defense capability is very important. In addition, the landing force may encounter a variety of unforeseen difficulties and unexpected situations, so the commander needs to be highly adaptable. In addition, the landing operation was victorious and undefeated, and there was no room for retreat, and Hu Lian's mistake of not attacking resolutely in many battles because he was afraid of excessive casualties among his troops could have been avoided

In addition, for the commanders of special arms in the Red Party, the cadre level is calculated as a one-level promotion, and at present, the Marine Division is a Division A, and Hu Lian is considered to be a flat transfer, and sooner or later he will be promoted to an integrated division, so Hu Lian is equivalent to a military-level chief, and it is not a disadvantage to him in any case. And for Hu Lian, who has always had an excellent face, being the commander of the unique Marine Corps is also more stylish than being a commander in the field corps, so there is no resistance at all

In fact, strictly speaking, the most suitable for Hu Lian should be the airborne troops, but this branch of the army is too expensive, even if the Anti-Japanese War enters the stage of a full-scale counteroffensive, China can afford to raise an airborne regiment at most, and with Hu Lian's combat exploits and ability, it would be too condescending for him to be only a regiment commander

Many of Kanazawa's suggestions have been praised by Hu Weidong, but unlike Shiraishi Tomohisa, no matter how great his contribution is, it is impossible to be too reused, after all, all the warships of the Third Fleet have been captured with great difficulty, and they are too little to use themselves, where can they be distributed to the devil's troops to use? However, it is very good to let him be the instructor of the Third Fleet, after all, even the veterans of the national army seriously lack the experience of serving on large warships, and to be honest, even the destroyers that the Chinese Navy has had before cannot compare their training and tactics with those of the naval officers and men trained by Japan, an old naval power, so having the instruction of Masayoshi Kanazawa, who served as the captain of a Japanese battleship, will undoubtedly help a lot to improve the technical and tactical level of the officers and men of the Chinese Navy. Moreover, with the example of Masayoshi Kanazawa, the attitudes of the Japanese naval officers and men who had been captured gradually began to change, which further accelerated the growth of the officers and men of the Third Fleet.

However, perhaps because the previous Lian Zhan Lianjie had boosted the arrogance of the officers and men of the Third Fleet, many people were not only unwilling to listen to the guidance of the Japanese instructors at first, but even ridiculed them intentionally or unintentionally, which made Hu Weidong very dissatisfied. And if you want to talk about credit, do you have the Air Force? They are not proud, where do you have the face to lift your tail to the sky? Although the devil's navy has suffered several defeats, Japan is still one of the few naval powers on the Shijie at present, and it is completely worth learning from you, and we also need their help to further improve the relevant tactics of radar and other new equipment, and if you don't study seriously, train or be disrespectful to the instructor in the future, you will get out of the navy for me in the future! ”

Within two days, Hu Weidong dismissed the captain of a destroyer who had repeatedly refused to change his ways, and after that, no less than 20 officers were expelled from the navy for such reasons, and in addition to the frequent visits of the Japanese aircraft fleet in the following days, Hu Weidong made a relatively large personnel adjustment according to the performance of the main officers of the navy in study, training, and combat, and in this respect, the atmosphere of the navy was rectified and the combat effectiveness was enhanced. On the other hand, it increased the Red Party's control over the Third Fleet. Shen Honglie is very aware of this, but he knows very well that the control of this fleet has always been in the hands of the Red Party from the beginning, although Lao Jiang is good to him, but as long as the Red Party can let him continue to be the commander of this fleet, Shen Honglie will not destroy the harmony on the surface of the fleet, as the so-called "eating people's mouths", for his own ideals, even if it is worth paying some price

With the cooperation of the air force, the weak Chinese navy almost completely annihilated a powerful Japanese fleet (it is said that most of the Japanese ships injured in the previous battles were returned for repairs), and after the brigade air raid, it once again caused a major ideological earthquake in the top echelons of the great powers, especially in the naval circles. The first is that the role of radar was highly valued by the great powers, including Germany and Germany. And these two countries, especially Germany, do not lack the scientific and technological and industrial base in the radio direction, as long as attention is paid to it, Jishu quickly made a breakthrough, and when the European War broke out later, Germany's radar Jishu was not much worse than Britain and the United States, which started earlier. However, the principle of the early radar Jishu and the radio proximity fuze is the same, so the anti-aircraft gun proximity fuze that was not successfully developed because it was too late in German history has made a certain breakthrough in this time and space. After learning this information, Hu Weidong thought that Germany would be able to develop it itself sooner or later, so he simply transferred the mature jishu to Germany at a price that was not cheap (Note 1), which directly affected the history of the European War and even the entire World War II. However, Hu Weidong did not do this entirely out of economic considerations, the Shijie situation at that time was the decisive factor, but these are all for later

It is worth mentioning that the day after the destruction of the Japanese fleet, the enraged Japanese base camp sent more than 500 planes from Korea to Qingdao, and at the same time, the mainland also sent more than 100 torpedo bombers without fighter escort as the main force to attack the captured warships

Note 1: Unlike the proximity fuse, which can cause qualitative changes, the role of radar is gradually enhanced with the improvement of performance, and because of Tesla's help and the rapid growth of its own talent team, coupled with Hu Weidong's pointing out the right direction from the beginning, China's radar jishu in this time and space has always been ahead of Shijie, in order to avoid jishu leakage and weaken the advantage, Hu Weidong would rather not make this money, and has always required strict secrecy, even if the output of jishu to the outside world, there are reservations, And only to those countries where the radar jishu is relatively backward.
