For those prisoners of war who have expertise in the field of research or production, they must be arranged to suitable positions to force labor, and even let them take Chinese apprentices, there is no controversy in this regard, you must know that even the great man who has always advocated "preferential treatment of prisoners", after listening to Hu Weidong's opinions, he basically recognized his "fear and then know kindness", "first beat the stick, and then give sweet dates." The idea of the transformation of Japanese prisoners

As for those Japanese prisoners who have no expertise in other than fighting, Hu Lian has other ideas, "Commander, they are all rare veterans, take the grenadier as an example, if you don't train for months, even years, hundreds or even thousands of rounds, you can't shoot at all, but those prisoners of war can hit a fixed target within 200 meters, and it's a pity to let them do coolies." We have to find a way for them to train our soldiers and even fight for our Red Army! ”

"How is this possible?" , Hu Weidong disagreed, in history, Dongye once recruited thousands of Japanese (plus local hospitals and factories, a total of more than 30,000 Japanese. He was engaged in medical work or served as an instructor to train jishu troops for the PLA, but by that time Japan had already lost the war, the Japanese had lost their psychological sustenance, and the combat object was not Japanese, so it was possible to join the Chinese army. And now that Japan is in its prime, how is it possible to ask these Japanese prisoners of war to train soldiers for Japan's enemies? And if they were to fight against Japan, it would be even more fantastical

Hu Lian replied seriously, "As long as they kill those who are unwilling, plus the method (of forcing the Japanese army to surrender), the rest will naturally be obedient, and as long as they do something to betray Japan, they will never be able to turn back in the future, and they will even become more loyal than our soldiers."

Hu Weidong couldn't help nodding secretly, but quickly frowned and said, "This may be okay, but killing prisoners is a serious violation of discipline, and you are still blatantly killing, once the news spreads, I'm afraid that the chairman won't be able to protect you." ”

"It's very simple, first recruit them into the army with treatment, and then they are killed because they refuse to fire at the enemy, which is called enforcing battlefield discipline," Hu Lian said with a smile.

"You are really a cunning fox", Hu Weidong couldn't help laughing and scolding, Hu Lian's method was also implemented, and later more and more Japanese prisoners of war became instructors and even soldiers of the Red Army. Of course, anyway, the Japanese prisoners of war can only serve as automobile soldiers, artillery and other jishu troops before they have been tested for a long time, and the most common of them is to serve as grenadiers (mainly because this thing is too difficult to practice, and sooner or later it will be replaced by 60mm mortars, and it is still chicken ribs if you use it yourself.) As for charging into battle, even if they wanted to, the leaders of the Red Army were not at ease, the artillery would not be equipped with other guns, and the slightest change could be killed directly, and if it was infantry, in case of a defection or a black gun, it would be a big problem

After the victory in the first battle, Hu Weidong was about to report the good news to the central government, but Hu Lian offered a plan, "Commander, it is best not to announce the results of this battle for the time being." Otherwise, no matter how arrogant the Japanese are, when they learn that our 100,000-strong army is coming, the Japanese overseas Chinese in Tianjin will definitely flee in panic, and even if we take Tianjin, there will be a lot less oil and water."

"I also know that it takes a lot of money to fight Tianjin, but Pingjin is Song Zheyuan's territory, if you rashly attack Tianjin before reaching an understanding with it, wouldn't it be an extra enemy?" , Hu Weidong hesitated.

Hu Lian was a bystander, he analyzed, "Song Zheyuan's 29th Army claims to have 100,000 people, but in fact, it is only 60,000 or 70,000 people in 4 divisions, of which only Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division has more than 30,000 people in combat effectiveness. As long as Song Zheyuan's brain does not enter the water, he will not dare to take the initiative to be our enemy, you can send a warning to Song Zheyuan at the same time as the vanguard of our army attacks the Japanese army headquarters and the Japanese concession in Tianjin, and set aside a part of the army to monitor, if they are obedient and obedient, we will not move him, otherwise we will resolutely eliminate him on the charge of 'settling with Japanese invaders'! ”…,

Hu Weidong was a little moved, but he still shook his head and said, "This should be feasible, but Song Zheyuan is not a broad-minded person, this Liang Zi is remembered after all." ”

Hu Lian smiled when he heard this, "If we take Fengtai, we will already hit Song Zheyuan's doorstep, do you still expect him to have a good impression of us?" In this case, we can only coerce it! Even if you want to wrap up, it is better to wait for it to understand our strength before doing it."

"I waited a year for you, and it was worth it." , Hu Weidong patted Hu Lian's shoulder approvingly, and then changed the conversation, "But you should be very tired after fighting repeatedly, so leave this battle to the brother troops." And it's time for the 65th Regiment to be expanded into a brigade, so it's time for you to reorganize the new troops."

This promotion is well deserved, Hu Lian did not refuse, but he still actively offered advice for the battle of Tianjin, "I think I can use this opportunity to send someone to disguise himself as a defeated Japanese army to attack the Japanese army headquarters in Tianjin, and it is not impossible to capture the Japanese commander alive."

"It's really a clever plan, then send Xu Chengji to go." , Hu Weidong nodded and called Xu Chengji, the captain of the special operations team, "Chengji, this task is not difficult, are you sure?" ”

"Please rest assured, the chief, promise to complete the task!" , Xu Chengji stood up and saluted solemnly.

"It's useless to just shout slogans, you probably say, how many people are you going to bring? What do I need to prepare? How? Hu Weidong does not believe in Xu Chengji's ability, but after all, this is the first time that Xu Chengji has independently led the team to carry out major tasks since he took over the special operations team, and it is not easy

"Report chief, I think so, the more soldiers the better, but too many words will make the enemy suspicious, fortunately, we must be in the night, we can divide the troops into two ways, the distance between the two teams is about ten miles, with two or three hundred people as defeated soldiers to deceive the enemy, once the gunfire is heard, the second echelon will immediately march to Haiguang Temple to help the battle. The first echelon could not exceed three hundred men, while the second echelon could not be less than five hundred, and it was necessary to carry some heavy guns and grenades, ready to attack if necessary. The first echelon must be served by the special combat team, and the second echelon should preferably be the elite of the combat unit." Xu Chengji earnestly answered Hu Weidong's questions one by one.
