Chapter 290: Meeting of senior officers of the Tiger Guard Army, continued!
Zhou Weimin’s meaning was very simple, that is, the training of new recruits cannot stop, this is the most important thing for the Tiger Guards.
At present, the recruits are not suitable for going to the battlefield. Everything will be decided after the training of the recruits is completed.
But the Japs also had to be on guard.
We have no idea about the situation at the Japanese headquarters, and we don’t know whether the Japanese have any plans against the Tiger Guards.
Therefore, it is still necessary to guard against the Japanese, but simply guarding against the Japanese will only delay the Tiger Guards' training of new recruits.
So Zhou Weimin decided to take the initiative.
Use a troop to attract the Japanese's attention and give the Tiger Army some time to train new recruits.
That is to say, it is to create some trouble for the Japanese so that they can't take care of Hutoushan.
"Commander, that's brilliant."
"In the current battle between the Japanese and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army are always at a disadvantage."
"It won't be long then. The Japs will be able to suppress the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army. Then they'll have some free time."
"When the Japs have some free time, they'll think about how to deal with our Tiger Guards. So we shouldn't let them have any free time."
When Chief of Staff Shen Fei heard Zhou Weimin's words, his eyes lit up, and then he said to Zhou Weimin.
In fact, Zhou Weimin's plan was really brilliant, but it also had certain risks, that is, if the Japanese reinforcements came to Jin.
This dispatched troop is likely to be surrounded and wiped out by the Japanese.
However, this is the best way at the moment and the most beneficial way for the Tiger Guards.
"I used to think the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had poor combat effectiveness, but at least it could delay the Japanese. Now it seems I really overestimated the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's armaments are much better than the Eighth Route Army's, but their combat effectiveness is about the same as theirs. It's really shameful."
"If it weren't for Commander Yan and the Central Army's orders, I would have strongly supported the Eighth Route Army and let them hold back the Japanese."
"This way we won't have to send troops to proactively attack the devils."
After hearing what Chief of Staff Shen Fei said, Zhou Weimin smiled bitterly, and then slowly spoke to the officers present.
In fact, it was not only Zhou Weimin who was disappointed with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. All the officers present were disappointed with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
After the Jinsui Army's internal purge, Zhou Weimin still felt that the Jinsui Army's combat effectiveness should be improved.
But Zhou Weimin was overthinking it. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was still the same Shanxi-Suiyuan Army as before. Too many of them fled without fighting when they encountered the Japanese.
Of the four major battles in Shanxi during this month, only one was fought by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the others were fought by the Eighth Route Army.
"Commander, I am willing to lead the troops to hold off the Japanese and buy time for the new recruits to train. I am confident that we can hold off the Japanese for three months."
"Commander, let me go. I, Wang Dali, am willing to sign a military order."
"Commander, I have a way to hold the devils back. Let me go. I have an idea now. I think we should..."
"Commander, I..."
......
At that moment, all the officers present asked to fight.
This is the Huben Army, where Zhou Weimin has the final say and he will ask for the officers' opinions.
But as long as Zhou Weimin makes a decision, the officers will basically not object and will abide by it.
Looking at the officers who requested to fight, Zhou Weimin thought for a while, then turned to Zhao Wei and said, "Zhao Wei, this mission is up to you."
"I can only give you two regiments, one armored battalion and one heavy artillery battalion. These are the veterans I can currently provide."
"Don't kill me all at once, or you won't come back."
"Your mission is not to destroy the devils, but to hold them back so they can't find you."
......
The reason why Zhou Weimin chose Zhao Wei was because Zhao Wei was the most stable and thoughtful among all the officers.
This mission is to fight guerrilla warfare, and Zhao Wei's personality is just right for it.
"Yes!" After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Zhao Wei quickly stood up and saluted.
"Sit down!" Zhou Weimin pressed his hand towards Zhao Wei, then looked at the officers and continued, "This matter has been decided."
"Zhou Ming, you must ensure the logistics of Zhao Wei's troops are in good order. There will definitely not be any problems with the logistics."
"Zhou Liang, send a team of intelligence personnel into Zhao Wei's unit. Be sure to inform Zhao Wei immediately of any intelligence."
"Chief of Staff, please send a few staff officers to Zhao Wei's troops to help him formulate a plan."
......
"Yes!" Zhou Ming, Zhou Liang, Shen Fei and others responded.
"Okay, now let's talk about assigning the new recruits to the troops. The troops are short of soldiers right now, so I plan to assign the new recruits in advance."
"After the new recruits are assigned to their respective units, training must not stop. You all must pay close attention."
"The instructors for the new recruits will also be temporarily assigned to help the various units train the new recruits."
"In two months, I will hold a big competition for the entire army. The winner will have double the logistical supplies for that month."
Zhou Weimin looked at the officers, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke to them.
In fact, there is no other way. The various troops are so short of manpower that they can only be allocated in advance.
Zhou Weimin also heard that the various troops had been competing with each other for good new recruits in the past ten days.
If we continue like this, who knows what will happen. It would be better to assign the new recruits to the troops now.
Following Zhou Weimin's words.
Wang Dali, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Sun Hu, Li Xiaomao and others began to compete for the allocated quota.
You should know that after new recruits join the Tiger Army, they will be randomly assigned to a temporary recruit camp.
This recruit camp is where new recruits are trained. Each camp has an instructor and dozens of veterans.
There are now hundreds of new recruits camps in the Tiger Guards, which are represented by numbers from one to one hundred.
Wang Dali, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng and others have been going to the recruit camp almost every day for the past ten days.
Wang Dali, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng and others knew the situation of each recruit camp.
Now Wang Dali, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng and others are fighting for these new recruits camps.
Zhou Weimin would not decide these matters, but let Wang Dali, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Sun Hu, Li Xiaomao and others decide for themselves.
So at this moment, Wang Dali, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng and others are competing in the conference room for the most powerful recruit camp.
Zhou Weimin, Chief of Staff Shen Fei, Zhou Liang, Zhou Ming, Zhang Yang and others just watched quietly.
Chief of Staff Shen Fei needs staff officers, Zhou Liang needs agents, and Zhang Yang needs artillery. These people don't want many new recruits, and no one will compete with them.
You have to know that new recruits who have knowledge, education and special skills have already been assigned to other places.
As for Zhou Ming, he is from the logistics troop, which consists of soldiers left over from the main force.
Therefore, the logistics troops are also the weakest troops in the Tiger Guards Army. The logistics troops basically do not go to the battlefield and are usually responsible for transportation tasks.
However, even the weakest logistics unit of the Tiger Guards was much more powerful than the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
