Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 145 You always come up with something new for me! (Subscribe)

"Yes, that's right. Draw directly on the spot and let each company be prepared."

"Yes, of course I believe you."

"Okay, I get it, that's it."

Hang up.

Chu Yunfei turned his head and looked at Fang Ligong who had just walked over.

"When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived. Aluminum seat, what happened?"

Chu Yunfei chuckled: "What else could it be? The reorganization of the 197th Regiment is not going smoothly. I went there today and found that the source of the problem lies with Li Kuishan himself."

Fang Ligong sighed and said, "After all, they were Commander Yang's guards before, so they must have some concerns. It is very likely that they are not on the same page with us."

"It's normal to have concerns. No one would feel comfortable with the chairman forcing an entire elite infantry regiment to be transferred in such a way."

Chu Yunfei then picked up the phone again: "I'm Chu Yunfei, I need to form a new infantry regiment."

"Hello, is this Wu Ziqiang? Yes, it's me."

"Yes, let Qian Zhaoyou come to my place..."

"During the training exercise? Leave it to the deputy battalion commander. Yes, today."

He hung up the phone again.

Fang Ligong also sat next to Chu Yunfei: "Are you planning to let Qian Zhaoyou go over to be the chief of staff?"

"Ah."

Chu Yunfei rubbed his fingers and nodded.

There is no one available.

Fang Ligong, Sun Wemou, and Zhang Dayun each have their own jobs.

Luo Weiguo was stationed at Dongyang Pass, and Qian Bojun was the commander of the front-line confrontation area.

Wu Ziqiang needs to lead new recruits and help with the formation of the supplementary regiment.

Zhuo Tianyu is now sent by him to build a model village for the support of the army and the people.

Going down further, there are cadres at the battalion and company levels.

There is no suitable reason to promote him to the position of Chief of Staff now.

After much thought, Qian Zhaoyou is the most suitable person.

Hey!
The most critical problem is that there are too many things to do.

Too few talents!

All the officers with practical combat experience were promoted step by step by Chu Yunfei.

Officers without combat experience, even if they are cadets.

I can only be a deputy here with Chu Yunfei.

These were troops that were previously supplemented by the newly formed Second and Third Regiments.

Basically, they have no combat experience, although the training is quite good.

But so far, no officer has been able to show up.

Now we are in a dilemma where no one is available.

That's why Chu Yunfei let Li Kuishan reorganize his own troops.

And the corresponding solutions are given.

However, the reorganization has been completed less than one-third so far.

Chu Yunfei could understand Li Kuishan's actions and concerns.

But at the moment, Chu Yunfei still plans to take action before the Japanese army launches an attack.

Organize several small-scale raids and offensives.

It is also to train new recruits.

Ensure that reserve forces also have certain combat experience.

At present, Li Kuishan is willing to come to Changzhi.
Instead of returning to Shaanxi, he has actually made his attitude clear.

It is impossible to trust the people you employ.

Not everyone can do this.

It is right to employ people even if you doubt them, and to be suspicious of people even when you employ them.

Before making sure that Li Kuishan is really on the same page with him.

Chu Yunfei must be fully prepared.

In the history of war, the 38th Army Teaching Regiment.

Despite suffering 90% casualties, they rushed to Jiuguan and wiped out all the Japanese troops there.

In the end, there were less than two hundred people in the entire teaching regiment.

These are a group of good soldiers, but also a group of arrogant soldiers.

Not afraid of death, dare to sacrifice, and more importantly, have strong fighting capacity.

It is not easy to dismantle a unit, and it is not easy to form the teaching regiment of the 38th Army.

General Yang Huchen has such a large territory and so many troops.

Isn’t it just a teaching group?
All of them have graduated from primary school or above and have received two years of military training.

If you can use it for your own benefit.

He will have at least 800 more squad leaders and deputy squad leaders.

About one hundred company and platoon level officers.

It will be of great benefit to the construction of the troops under its command.

What Chu Yunfei has to do now.

That's a push.

Try to speed this up as much as possible.

Qian Zhaoyou rode his horse to the scene.

After hearing the noise, Chu Yunfei slowly turned around from in front of the battle map.

"Commander Chu!"

After riding a horse for a long time, one should be exhausted and dusty.

Qian Zhaoyou seemed to care very much about his military appearance.

Before coming to the war room, he obviously tidied up a bit.

Every time Chu Yunfei saw him, he was still the spotless Qian Zhaoyou.

"Brother Wuguan, come here."

Chu Yunfei waved his hand.

Qian Zhaoyou walked up to Chu Yunfei's side.

On the wall in front of the two people, there was a huge battle map hanging.

From above, you can clearly see every river and every mountain.

Every key strategic node, pass, bridge, and even every important town.

This is a good thing.

Even Chu Yunfei only found one copy from the headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander.

"Sir... the Japanese army's deployment adjustment is a bit strange..."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "There is no latest news yet, but there are three main measures and methods currently being taken."

"First, blockade our southeastern Shanxi region and cut off land links with other regions."

"Second, a small number of troops will be stationed in key areas, and troops at the brigade level and above will be used to provide rapid mobile support relying on highways and paved roads."

"Third."

Seeing Chu Yunfei turning his head to look at him, Qian Zhaoyou continued, "The Japanese army should use a small-scale reconnaissance force to conduct reconnaissance in our southeastern Shanxi region, and send Japanese spies and dog agents to infiltrate our region, obtain corresponding deployment intelligence, and formulate corresponding combat plans accordingly."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Yes, this old devil Xiangyue Qingsi is not a simple guy."

"With just one move, he's already caught us at our weakest point."

"If we follow Kiyoshi Kozuki's strategic concept, the Japanese army will gather its forces, or go deep into the southeastern Shanxi region along the highway to establish a stable forward base, or make a concerted effort, or gradually erode and reduce our control area in the southeastern Shanxi region."

"If we are more aggressive, we can solve the problem in three months. If we are more cautious, with the speed at which the Japanese army is encroaching, we can occupy the entire southeastern Shanxi region in at most half a year."

Qian Zhaoyou nodded and pointed in the direction of Nanguan Town: "Commander Chu may dispatch a regiment of troops to station in Nanguan Town. On the one hand, they can defend the place, and on the other hand, they can prevent the Japanese army from advancing to fight."

A regiment of troops would be the safest option, but Qian Zhaoyou knew that was unlikely.

Then he added: "One battalion of troops may not be enough, but there is still a chance. Commander Chu, could it be that this is the reason why he called us here?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Yes and no."

"One battalion is definitely not enough. Once the Japanese army launches an attack, their strength will be at least an infantry regiment. Their control over the southeastern Shanxi region should not be very deep."

"I called you here this time because the reorganization of the 197th Regiment is not going smoothly. I want to transfer you there to serve as the chief of staff and supervise the reorganization work."

Qian Zhaoyou was stunned for a moment.

At this time, he was appointed Chief of Staff.

He suddenly felt like he was being given a mission in a time of crisis.

Instead, after the battle of Jiuguan, his old classmate found a random reason to help him get a job transfer and promotion.

"Brother Wu Guan, I believe you should know that many of my officers have been sacrificed in these battles."

“This is a difficult time.”

Seeing Chu Yunfei's serious face, he opened his heart.

Qian Zhaoyou felt a strong sense of mission in his heart.

Compared to when I was a major staff officer in the Operations Hall.

Now, he will obviously have to shoulder more important responsibilities.

"I understand, Commander Chu, please rest assured, I will leave for the 197th Regiment immediately." "No, it will take two days. In two days, the 197th will bring a company here for training, and their commander Li Kuishan will naturally come."

Chu Yunfei then arranged: "Have you communicated before?"

Qian Zhaoyou shook his head: "No, he doesn't seem to know my identity..."

"No matter whether it's clear or not, after this trip, you guys will finally get to know each other."

Chu Yunfei then asked Qian Zhaoyou to sit aside and told him his ideas for the reorganization.

"Splitting up this unit, the elite mid- and lower-level officers will be transferred to the new regiment and supplementary regiment first, and then to the 196th Regiment."

"According to the originally agreed reorganization plan, the company commander will be promoted to deputy battalion commander, the deputy company commander will be promoted to company commander, and the deputy battalion commander will be promoted to battalion commander. According to the current progress, we still need 80 company and platoon-level officers and 130 grassroots military cadres."

"All these people must be drawn from the 197th Regiment..."

Qian Zhaoyou was somewhat helpless: "Isn't this draining away all their people?"

"Then you underestimate the 38th Army Training Corps."

Chu Yunfei then introduced the troops under Li Kuishan in detail: "There is a person who I think may be very supportive of your work."

"Who?"

Qian Zhaoyou raised his eyebrows and asked, "The Shaanxi Army is united as one, so is there anyone willing to help us?"

"That's right, the local militias are very united because most of them are fellow villagers and are willing to trust their own people but not us.

But it doesn’t matter, there are always people who have received a relatively higher education.

Knowing what is more important than the overall situation, I dismantled Li Kuishan's troops not in order to seize power or annex them.

This, he must be aware of in his heart.

However, it is not so easy to overcome this hurdle in my heart.

Li Kuishan had a second battalion commander named Pang Junming.

This man was born in Shaanxi Military Academy and also studied in a surveying and mapping school. He is proficient in artillery and infantry tactics.

They have a high degree of acceptance of new things. According to what we have learned so far, apart from them, the remaining few battalion commanders are likely to not cooperate well with the work.

However, I believe that Brother Kuishan has probably figured it out now. With the assistance of Pang Junming and Li Kuishan, the work should proceed more smoothly."

"Yes, please rest assured, Commander Chu, I promise to complete the task."

Chu Yunfei laughed and continued, "It's almost time, let's go and have a meal together."

"Yes!"

On the way to the base, seeing Chu Yunfei walking towards the guard company, Qian Zhaoyou was a little confused: "Sir, are you still eating from the big pot?"

"Well, I'm not used to eating in a small kitchen."

Chu Yunfei patted his slightly bulging belly and said, "My physical condition has not been as good as before recently. I will have to exercise after the reorganization is completed and the army construction is on the right track."

"Haha~!"

Qian Zhaoyou smiled and said, "When Commander Chu was in Huangpu, few people were in better health than you."

"Speaking of Huangpu, Brother Wuguan, does anyone have any classmates to recommend? Our department is currently lacking elites and talents."

Speaking of classmate Qian Zhaoyou, he actually has a few friends.

He nodded immediately: "I have a few good friends who are also working in the Ministry of National Defense. Maybe we can try to contact them and see if they are willing to join the front-line combat troops."

"Ok!"

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yunfei, Li Kuishan, Qian Bojun and others were standing outside the training ground.

This is the training ground that Qian Bojun had people look for specifically.

Not only is there a large open area, but it also includes some mountains and forest terrain.

Under Qian Bojun's introduction.

Everyone also learned about the training venue.

The training subjects have been listed in detail, including infantry squad tactical attacks, covering shooting while moving, assaults, charges, throwing and a series of other subjects.

All assessments are carried out in a complete process.

It is very difficult and high.

Li Kuishan felt a little uneasy.

He suggested aloud, "Sir..we haven't trained for a scenario like this before."

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Brother Kuishan, they haven't practiced it, but you have been exposed to these when you were in Huangpu."

Li Kuishan stopped talking.

Yes.

The Whampoa Military Academy was essentially a place to train grassroots officers.

It can be called the cradle of generals.

What does it mean.

If you come out from here, you may become a general in the future.

It is not that just by attending Whampoa Military Academy you can definitely become a general.

At that time, there were four military academies of equal reputation in the world.

The United States Military Academy at West Point, France's Saint-Cyr Military Academy, the United Kingdom's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and the Soviet Union's Frunze Military Academy.

There is also the German Military Academy in Berlin, but it is less recognized.

It is common for there to be five or six of the four major military academies.

But whether it is West Point, St. Cyr, or several other schools, they all train grassroots officers.

The real senior generals will study in other military academies.

For example, the Republic of China was trained in the Army University.

Germany's Munich Military Academy trains strategic and tactical talents, focusing on staff officers, adjutants, and also mid- and senior-level commanders.

The Berlin Military Academy trains middle and lower-level independent commanders, and officers from these two places can go to the Army University for further studies according to conditions.

The military training systems of various countries during this period were actually not much different.

If it weren't for the frequent wars, Chu Yunfei would most likely have been sent by Chiang Kai-shek or Yan Laoxi to the Army General Class or the Special Training Class for further studies. After returning, if nothing unexpected happens, he would have taken two small steps up.

Chu Yunfei also likes the grassroots officers of the Whampoa Military Academy from the bottom of his heart.

Simple patriotism and strict training.

Has not yet suffered from the influence of some corrupt superiors.

These guys are the best choices for officers.

If you can serve in his army, you only need a short period of adaptation and training to be qualified for positions such as platoon leader and company commander.

"Brother Kuishan, please draw lots."

"it is good!"

Li Kuishan took the cardboard box handed over by Qian Bojun and randomly picked out a piece of paper from it.

"Second Battalion, Seventh Company"

Chu Yunfei turned around and asked, "Where is this unit?"

"Reporting to the commander, our troops are all carrying out daily training, garrison and other tasks."

"I think this exercise should be close to actual combat and also to protect the engineers of various units, so I did not notify them in advance this time."

"The 7th Company's base is approximately 14 kilometers from here. According to the regulations of our infantry drill manual, including emergency assembly and marching time, we should reach the training ground within three hours when fully armed."

Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows: "Then let me ask you...what are you going to do if you are assigned to a company farther away?"

"Business as usual!"

Qian Bojun had a clear conscience and straightened his chest.

Chu Yunfei laughed loudly: "You, you, you always come up with something new for me!"

Li Kuishan standing aside had a blank expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

But at this moment, my mind was already clear.

This was Qian Bojun's way of showing him his power.

This move was regardless of whether it was instructed by Chu Yunfei.

It was Qian Bojun who made it himself.

The purpose was to let Li Kuishan take a look.

What level will the troops trained according to Chu Yunfei's methods be?
Qian Bojun's adjutant Zhang Fugui was still recuperating in the field hospital at this time.

Only he can give orders like this.

Qian Bojun quickly walked to the phone and called the second battalion’s base.

"I, Qian Bojun, want Xue Jie!"

"Captain, it's me!"

"Hello, is this Xue Jie? I order your 7th Company to assemble urgently and arrive at the comprehensive training ground as quickly as possible with full armor."

"Yes!"

Xue Jie put on his military cap and immediately said, "Oh my god, there are so many things going on in the camp and we still have to do this kind of training."

"Come here, order the Seventh Company to assemble urgently, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, and rush to the comprehensive training ground!"
