Chapter 581
It is not that Fang Jingyao was derelict in his duties, in fact, there are no problems with strategy and command, and there are no problems with weapons and equipment and logistical support, but the biggest problems in fighting like this lie in the quality of individual soldiers, tactical use, and coordination.
Not only are most of the soldiers in the new army recruits with little combat experience, but most of the grassroots commanders are also drawn from among the deputy officers of various units.
Moreover, because they have not been recognized in China and do not have official titles, commanders and fighters at and above the regimental level are all substitutes, only their posts have no military ranks, and they only received a few months of military theoretical study in the Heihe base area before taking up their posts, and they also lack the relevant experience in commanding operations on a large scale, and this is also one of the reasons why they have won battles but suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, Xing Fuquan, who was the chief of staff of the New Army, handed over a mug and said with concern: "Let's drink some tea in the military seat, you haven't closed your eyes all night, why don't you take a rest?" Let me just take a look at it here. ”
"It's okay, the battle situation in the Bosheng River area is unknown, and I can't sleep when I lie down, it's better to stay here and calm my heart..."Fang Jingyao shook his head slightly, took the teacup and said with a smile.
"Actually, it's good that the 201st Division can fight like this, but what I can't understand is why Junzuo put this new army into the main battlefield, instead of following behind the main force to assist in the battle."
Xing Fuquan expressed his doubts with some emotion.
In his opinion, this new army, which is mostly raw melons and eggs, should not be placed in the front of the big battlefield to harden the little devils, and it is most appropriate to cooperate with the main force to fight and fight, and the huge casualties have explained everything.
As the old man of the earliest Sichuan Army, Xing Fuquan has maintained a diligent and rigorous and rational character for a long time, and he is also humble and unassuming.
His view of the overall situation and his command ability have been fully reflected in the war against Japan, and he now deserves the post of chief of staff of the New Army.
The most important point is that Xing Fuquan's personality is very similar to Fang Jingyao's, especially during the Honorary Third Division, he often consulted Fang Jingyao for his views on military command.
The two are also teachers and friends, and their relationship in private is very good, and when the new army was launched, Fang Jingyao named Liao Mingyu as an important person, and it was only appropriate for him to be the most deputy.
"Alas, things in the world are difficult and easy, and if you do it, it will be easy for those who are difficult, and if you don't do it, it will be difficult for those who are easy...
Everything is done after learning lessons and then introspecting ourselves, and any result obtained is also our harvest.
Have you ever thought that in the past, in order to fight against the Japanese, our Chinese army had to pay several times the price with the other party, but now that we are equipped with stronger firepower, why are we afraid of sacrifice? ”
A soul torture made Xing Fuquan speechless, which made him have to lower his head and ponder.
Yes, although the new army sacrificed a lot in this battle, it was also a preliminary goal in this raid on Yinrawaddy Province, but compared with the previous victories that could be achieved at a very small cost, this time the process was not as good as imagined.
"Xiao Xing, in addition to dispatching troops and strategizing, generals must also learn to know the time, observe the location, understand human nature, understand people's desires, and know people's hearts.
The big picture... It's not just about looking at the battlefield in front of you, you should look at the essence of the problem and think more about it. ”
Fang Jingyao is still so gentle and elegant, even if he is teaching people, he can't feel his sternness and displeasure at all.
The seemingly glorious position of the commander of the new army is actually not so simple at all, Liao Mingyu sent him over not only to command the operation, but also to take Yin Rawaddy Province and train the troops... Perhaps this is the ultimate goal of the latter.
In fact, when he was still in the Heihe base area, Fang Jingyao found that those recruit training camps were still recruiting and training, and in the arsenals that were regarded as absolutely secret, weapons and equipment were being produced batch after batch, and the output was increasing almost every once in a while.
It can be seen from this that Liao Mingyu is not satisfied with just forming this army, and it may be that the "new second army" and "new third army" will slowly appear in the near future.
Although the combat effectiveness of the new army is relatively weak, its experience has been slowly sharpened in actual combat, and we must not forget that they can wear new military uniforms and hold the best equipment, and the ratio of firepower has reached the highest level in the whole army.
The difficulties that have arisen now can precisely reflect the problems in the new troops, and if they are revised and adjusted, the future units may all be built on the basis of the system of the new army.
At that time, the soldiers of the new army, who have grown up in battle, may become the backbone of the new army, and will be used as an important cornerstone of the new army.
Maybe someone else listens to these words, maybe it doesn't take it seriously, but Xing Fu, who has some tendons, will not be like that, but will carefully ponder the truth in the words.
Seeing that the other party was thinking seriously, Fang Jingyao couldn't bear to interrupt, turned around with his hands behind his back and walked out of the tent.
There was a long line outside a small tent outside the field hospital next door, and there was a long line of people who went in and out, all rolled up their sleeves and covered their elbows with cotton balls, and several medical personnel were taking blood for each soldier to test.
It turned out that there was not much plasma in the field hospital, and there were so many seriously wounded waiting to be treated, and all the healthy soldiers in the command were arranged here to donate blood one by one.
The soldiers with type O blood even donated 600cc of blood to the wounded, most of them pale, and sat in the camp tent next to them to rest, and the nurse at the hospital brought them sugar water and some canned meat to replenish their nutrition.
However, some soldiers are still more resistant in their hearts, because people in this era have no common sense, and they have to take half a life when they want to draw their own blood, and there are very few who are willing to take the initiative to come, and most of them are forcibly ordered by the commander.
"Girl, you smoke less, you said that if you smoke such a big tube, will it die..."
The soldiers sitting on the bench looked worried, but reluctantly rolled up their sleeves under the murderous eyes of their company commanders.
"It's okay, we only draw 400 ml of blood, it has no effect on you, if you want to have type O blood, you can also donate 600 ml, and you can get a big ocean next to it." The little nurse who pricked the needle said with a blank face.
】
"You have to be light, brother, I haven't looked for a daughter-in-law yet, hehe, how old is my sister this year, is there..."
This soldier was obviously a little flamboyant in addition to being afraid, and when he saw the delicate female nurse in front of him, he couldn't help but pull the dragon gate array in his mouth.
"Ouch!"
Before the flimous soldier finished speaking, he was firmly beaten by the company commander on his head: "Damn, Xie Laosan, do you owe it?" You can't keep your mouth shut, right, or I'll send you to the gendarmerie to play? ”
"Don't, the company commander is angry, angry..."
