Chapter 126: Actively Preparing for War

The headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the division commanders of various infantry divisions, and the brigade commanders of several brigades are reporting to Qin Shou on the reorganization of various departments, and it has been a month and a half since they began to change their uniforms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAll the troops have been replaced with American-style equipment.

Moreover, after a long period of training, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army have mastered the performance of these American-style equipment and are able to give full play to their combat effectiveness. Although, in terms of tactical coordination, it is still a little jerky. But overall, it's basically ready to go to the battlefield.

In peacetime training, soldiers can only be given a lot of basic tactics and knowledge, and their combat effectiveness can be initially formed. If you really want to train an elite soldier, you can only achieve it through the tempering of the battlefield.

"Commander, the Yankees' equipment is indeed much more powerful than the Japanese-style equipment we used before. However, the requirements for logistics support are too great. "Sun Changwu, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, was a little distressed.

The strength of American weapons lies in the fact that the firepower is very fierce. This also makes the firepower of the troops extremely powerful in battle. This, as a result, led to the rapid consumption of ammunition, which caused great pressure on logistics and supplies.

"Lao Sun, aren't you worrying nonsense? No matter how much the pressure of logistical supply is fought, the Americans will also find a way to support us. For more than a month, the Americans have been transporting military supplies to us by road. The military supplies we have stored are enough for us to fight a big battle. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, Yu Chengyin, had a smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the advantage of American-style equipment is indeed that it has strong firepower. This is a big advantage in the battle. Instead of relying on the flesh and blood of the soldiers to fight to the death with the enemy, it is better to rely on powerful firepower and directly drown the opponent with bullets and shells. In this way, we can undoubtedly reduce our casualties significantly. Although our troops are getting stronger and stronger, the lives of our soldiers are precious. When formulating tactics, it is necessary to fully consider how to win the victory with the minimum number of casualties. Qin Shou reminded in particular.

Although there are millions of Chinese in Myanmar, it seems to be a lot. But in fact, there are not many, and there are not many soldiers who can be recruited from them. At the time of the expansion of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, almost all the young Chinese children in northern Myanmar were recruited. If you want to expand again, you will have to recruit in southern Myanmar. Moreover, it can recruit up to 30,000 or 40,000 people. If we want to expand the army again, we will have to find ways to do it from other aspects.

Therefore, the lives of the officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are precious. In battle, you have to be economical.

"Yes, Captain." Several division commanders and brigade commanders nodded one after another.

"On the question of logistical supplies, now the Americans will give us. Next, we will attack southern Burma and try to take a port along the coast of Burma. At that time, the Americans will be able to transport weapons and equipment directly to us by merchant ships. Judging from the wealth of the Americans, we will not have any major problems in terms of logistics and supply at all.

Moreover, in the future, we will also develop our own industry, especially the military industry, to achieve self-sufficiency. If that time comes, we won't have to worry about being stuck in the neck again. ”

Qin Shou told everyone what he thought. Now, we're all in the same boat. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can develop and grow, everyone will be able to be promoted to an official position and make a fortune, and enjoy glory and wealth. However, if they fail, I am afraid that everyone will have to die. In such a situation, everyone can only be united.

Therefore, many of Qin Shou's plans were not hidden from everyone.

"It's still the rescue that the commander wants, and the Americans are now supporting us and providing us with so many weapons and equipment, because they want to use us. If we lose our usefulness, they will throw us away like garbage. Only when we have mastered the military industry and achieved self-sufficiency can we avoid putting our own destiny in the hands of others. Chen Dehai, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, agreed with Qin Shou's plan very much.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now our troops are almost ready to fight. And the Japanese * himself, after being silent for so long, must also be brewing an attack on us. Therefore, we should not take it lightly because we are strong. We still have to be vigilant. In the event of a war with the Japanese themselves, it is even more important to ensure that they are completely defeated and won. In this way, we will be able to make the Americans willingly support us with more good things. ”

"Haha, the commander is right. We have taken advantage of the Americans, so naturally we have to do things for the Americans. You can't take advantage of it and don't do anything. Zhang Erniu, the commander of the reconnaissance brigade, had a smile on his face.

"By the way, I'm going to send people to the United States, to recruit troops in the United States, and to find talents in industry, do you have the right candidates?" Qin Shou asked.

As a result, everyone looked at each other. They were all soldiers, and they were all low-ranking officers before, so where do you know people from that side!

Seeing this, Qin Shou had no choice but to stop worrying about this problem, and he planned to ask Lieutenant Colonel Steven to help think of a way.

Just as the meeting was about to end, a staff officer walked in with a nervous face and sent a telegram to Qin Shou's hand.

After Qin Shou read the telegram, the expression on his face also became solemn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Cao Cao Cao will arrive. We just said that the day * himself was planning to attack us, and as a result, the day * himself really started to do it. Our intelligence officers learned that the Japanese Burmese Front, which had sent its main forces, divided into four routes, marched towards Morey. These troops, including six divisions and three independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army, have a total strength of more than 110,000 troops. ”

"Is the day really coming?"

These generals of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army suddenly became serious.

"Commander, since Kohi has invested so many troops, he obviously wants to have a decisive battle with us. And we, after this period of preparation, are also ready, and there is no need to be afraid of them at all. Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan was the first to express his position.

Subsequently, other generals also expressed their hopes to meet the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army received a large number of reinforcements, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is now also strong. In terms of troops, they were no less than the Japanese army. In terms of weapons and equipment, it was much ahead of the Japanese army. Even if it is the combat quality of the soldiers, compared with the Japanese army, the gap is not too big. If there is really a decisive battle, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will not necessarily lose.
