Chapter 214: Reinforcements from the Advisory Group
"I'm Sun Yuanliang, hello general."
Facing the phone, Sun Yuanliang looked respectful. Although he was a lieutenant general, he also bowed to his subordinates when facing General Falkenhausen, the German officers' advisory group.
"What, reinforcements, reinforcements from the advisory group......"
What reinforcements can the advisory group have, I heard that the advisory group is planning to organize a paratrooper school, could it be that there are already troops in the past few days.
It is true that Sun Yuanliang has the short-sightedness of ordinary Chinese soldiers, because the officers of the Huangpu system are trained in the Japanese style, while the German mechanics are trained in the German style.
From a certain point of view, the officers of the Whampoa department were not able to give full play to the might of the German troops.
Just like Sun Liren's tax police corps before he took charge, it was Huang Jie who was the head of the tax police corps at that time, and after he took office, he had to change the American-style training to the Japanese-style training that Whampoa learned.
As for whether it is stupid or not, look at the record of the new 38th Division led by Sun Liren from West Point, and there will be results if you compare it.
After all, the infantry training of Little Japan is just an improved version of war tactics.
In World War II, whether it was a blitzkrieg against a mustache, or a torrent of steel from Maozi, or an air-ground integrated battle including Eagle Sauce. The tactics of small Japan are all of the last class.
When encountering the above three countries, they are all the result of being beaten at any time.
It can be said that part of the reason for the defeat of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was that the generals of the Japanese military could not jump out of the tactical mastery of the Japanese.
However, the new army trained by Garam in India is much easier to deal with the little devils.
"Yes, I'll make good arrangements for them......"
Having said that, Sun Yuanliang didn't like the guy who liked to act without permission.
But the thousands of reinforcements he brought with him, as well as dozens of artillery pieces, were of great benefit to the Kun branch line of the defense fortifications at this moment.
Waiting for Sun Yuanliang to put down the phone, Zhang Baiting, the chief of staff who had been waiting on the side, whispered on the side,
"Junzao, the cotton yarn of the Japanese yarn stone we brought out from Shanghai has been sold in batches in Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changshu according to your instructions, and the price is good......
Speaking of this, he observed Sun Yuanliang's face a little, deeply understood how much he hated Zhang Sixing, and then continued,
"According to what you said, some were sent to our returning soldiers, and the rest ......"
At this moment, including the retreat of the 88th Division, it was also completely routed.
As for himself, he saw that the Japanese Toyota Yarn Mill, which was guarded by the British army, went to the empty building, and simply transported the remaining thousands of bales of cotton yarn to the three places just mentioned by more than 30 military vehicles and small steamers to sell them.
Selling the enemy's assets to comfort his subordinates is nothing. It's a pity that the wounded of those veterans of a hundred battles are not as valuable as those cotton yarns.
When he first arrived here, Sun Yuanliang only brought a few guards. The troops who escaped later gathered in Suzhou one after another, and they only gathered more than 7,000 troops.
Although the 88th Division had been decided to be expanded into the 72nd Army at this moment, with such a small number of troops guarding the Kun branch line, he still felt that he had no bottom in his heart.
Hearing that Zhang Baiting was going to talk about the cotton yarn, Sun Yuanliang, who had something in his heart, only raised his hand slightly, and the former had already closed his mouth sensibly and said no more.
"What do you think of that kid."
The kid?
Zhang Baiting immediately understood that he was referring to the one who did not obey the command, refused to retreat with Xie Jinyuan's troops, was disarmed by the British army, and lived in a concentration camp together.
"Commander, I think that kid is quite unruly, and now he has come to us with the sign of the head of the German officers' advisory corps, major...... Humble as ......"
As the chief of staff, when Zhang Baiting spoke, he always observed Sun Yuanliang's face.
No one wants to look at other people's faces and act, but in the chairman's government here, this is the most basic quality of "achieving great things".
It's like some fools in later generations who used "emotional intelligence" to evaluate all those who refused to be fooled by them, but when they asked carefully, they found that the "emotional intelligence" they said had nothing to do with the scientific definition of emotional intelligence.
If Zhang Sixing was here, he would definitely look at Zhang Baiting in front of him, and his evaluation was as follows:
It's all the same about scheming and dealing with people. Of course, if the country is not in line, it will be difficult, and they will dare to fight to the death, and they will not be wrong in righteousness.
However, if such a confused and unprofessional person goes to the battlefield, is it considered murder?
Seeing that Zhang Baiting wanted to say something or not, Sun Yuanliang frowned and urged,
"Say, this is in the military headquarters of our 72nd Army, entered Lao Tzu's defense area, and he is an officer of the German advisory group to give face, if he doesn't give face, he is some kind of bullshit."
Hearing the commander's statement, Zhang Baiting had a bottom in his heart, and he then said in a low voice,
"Junza, I think we want his soldiers, if there are any special weapons, if he is willing to give a little guidance in home-made weapons, we don't have to refuse."
Home-made weapons?
Sun Yuanliang frowned, carefully reviewing the news he had heard on the news, he frowned and said,
"I can't see what kitebombs, children's stuff, I can't see ......"
Seeing him shake his head, Zhang Baiting, who was anxious in his heart, took advantage of the two good relationships to report carefully to Sun Wuliang,
"Junza, I spoke with him on the phone before Zhongmin was ordered to withdraw into the concession. He told me that Major Chang had some weapons in his hands that he had made from materials from the battlefield, which had played a great role in killing and wounding Japanese infantry. Therefore the lowly office is ......"
Speaking of this, Sun Yuanliang had already understood from Zhang Baiting's gaze that he should have attitude towards Zhang Sixing.
We must not let him dictate the command, nor let him take away the Japanese artillery mentioned by Falkenhausen, and in addition, we must put some information on him about those home-made weapons.
"I understand, I want to ...... quietly"
Seeing Sun Yuanliang's solemn demeanor, Zhang Baiting stopped narrating knowingly, and then turned around and went out.
Listening to the door of the headquarters office, Sun Yuanliang let down all his guards and began to think about the problem in front of him in detail:
According to the general, the guy had five or six thousand men under his command, and there were quite a few cars, artillery, and even a few hundred cavalry. So how can I get these troops out of his hands.
At the moment he had only more than 6,000 men at his disposal, although there were still two regiments of supplementary recruits. First, the supplementary soldiers are all new recruits, which cannot be compared with the veterans of the 88th Division, and in addition, they may have to come to the rear before they can really be reorganized.
Thinking of this, he regretted that he only cared about transporting cotton yarn and did not collect veterans.
But that's all, as an officer under the chairman, he knows that as long as the chairman feels loyal, soldiers or veterans are not so important.
At present, with six or seven thousand men in the defensive line, how to deal with the upcoming attack of the Japanese, it is not an easy matter to hold the Kun branch line.
