Liu Zhihui started slowly and slowly took over the logistics issues of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army. After all, logistics is a very important thing, and Zhou Weiguo needs to be handed over to someone who is very trustworthy. Unfortunately, Liu Zhihui, Zhou Weiguo's younger brother, is currently a good candidate.
January 24, 1938 was the first day Liu Zhihui came into contact with the logistics of the 88th Group Army. He was still slowly getting familiar with the logistics department.
Zhou Weiguo took He Yuchen to the armored division camp outside the city.
??Actually, it is said to be an armored division, but it has just been formed into an army and the personnel has just been filled. Three hundred tank crews are also being taught how to use tanks.
The T34 tank is easy to learn and easy to learn. A farmer can learn it in a few hours. But the overall formation is a problem.
The overall formation requires good coordination among the tanks. This is a problem, and it takes a lot of time to get used to it.
But fortunately, the 300 tankers inside who were gifted by the system played a key role in this. With them as the backbone, an armored division was barely established.
¡°It¡¯s just that it may take some time for this armored division to have a certain combat capability.
"Weiguo, we are currently in the Huaihe River area. There are water systems here, and there are rivers and lakes everywhere. I am afraid it will be difficult for tanks to exert their power here!"
He Yuchen walked beside Zhou Weiguo and said while looking at the armored divisions training in the distance.
"I know! But have you ever thought about the north? According to our battle plan some time ago, we occupied the area from Huainan to Pukou. But what about the north?
After crossing the Huaihe River, from Fuyang to Xuzhou and further north, there is a smooth terrain. This terrain is very suitable for armored troops to attack. Now the establishment of our Eighty-Eighth Group Army has begun to fill up slowly.
The 132nd Division, the 133rd Division, and the 134th Division, these three infantry divisions are almost completely filled with broken troops. After they train for a while, they can go to the battlefield.
So far, we have gathered more than 30,000 broken troops, but according to my estimate, the number of broken troops we can gather is only more than 40,000, and will never exceed 50,000. Next we will use war to temper our soldiers. "
Zhou Weiguo walked slowly, but he was thinking about something in his heart. According to the information he received, the 100,000 prisoners of war in Nanjing were not killed by the Japanese army, and were now being used as hard labor by the Japanese army.
These prisoners of war are all very high-quality soldiers. If you want to expand your army quickly, it is impossible to recruit all new soldiers. When the new recruits go to the battlefield, they will be tested with a lot of lives.
In Lao Maozi¡¯s Patriotic War, Lao Maozi would throw a rifle to the peasants, and then send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Those who survive are elites, and those who die deserve what they have.
The direct consequence of this approach was that Lao Maozi recruited more than 34 million troops during the Great Patriotic War, and more than 29 million people died in the war, and nearly 30 million people died.
This is still on the battlefield, and Zhou Weiguo does not agree with this approach. He wasn't going to use this approach either.
As I said before, the years of war in China have not only displaced the people, but also produced a large number of people who only know how to use guns to eat.
These people are relatively good soldiers.
??¡
"Weiguo! You mean the north? That is the chassis of the fifth theater of war! If we cross the war zone, I'm afraid there will be many people in our national army who will denounce you!"
He Yuchen said with some worry, fighting across a war zone is tantamount to openly entering someone else's territory, and no one will be very happy.
"Haha! Yuchen, have you forgotten who is commanding our group army? Now we are under the direct jurisdiction of Shangfeng and do not belong to any war zone. We are mobile, combat troops. Our immediate superior is Shangfeng!"
Zhou Weiguo pointed to the sky with a smile, and then continued: "And I don't think the fifth theater can hold Xuzhou. Although we killed three Japanese divisions in Huainan and destroyed the joint operation plan of the Central China Expedition Army and the North China Expedition Army, However, the strength of the North China Expeditionary Force was also strengthened, and the Japanese base camp began to send additional troops to the North China Expeditionary Force.
There are too few elite Central Army troops in the fifth theater. Although the Guangxi troops are not weak in combat effectiveness. But their weapons and ammunition were too short, and their equipment was poor.
The weapons and equipment of the Japanese army are beggars in front of us, but in front of other armies, they are far ahead of them. Now we need to prepare early. Once the Japanese army captures Xuzhou, we must prepare to cross the Huaihe River and prepare to attack.The North is sending troops! "
Zhou Weiguo shook his head. Although the Eighty-eighth Army was so majestic and could eat three Japanese divisions in one go, in fact the Eighty-eighth Army was also surrounded by dangers.
?¡
"Well! Then what is our next specific strategy? Now the Japs have mobilized heavy troops in three places: Hefei, Chuzhou, and Xuyi. It is obvious that they want to encircle us. And the Japs have mobilized in these three places We have defeated the strength of six divisions, and this time the little devil is determined to get rid of us!"
He Yuchen is not worried about the Japanese troops in the six divisions. If before, the Japanese army mobilized six divisions with more than 100,000 and 200,000 troops, he might have persuaded Zhou Weiguo to avoid his edge. However, after these consecutive battles, not only did they not suffer losses, but they also won one victory after another. The victory gave He Yuchen confidence.
"Get rid of us? Huh! The last thing the Japanese army should do is to divide its troops. The Japanese army's standing divisions have not even implemented mechanization, that is, to the extent of mules and horses and semi-motorized. The next step is to implement motorcycles in the army. Transformation. Just wait until we are ready and defeat them one by one!"
Zhou Weiguo frowned after finishing speaking, and then continued: "That's right! Go immediately and give orders to the commanders of each infantry division to return to Huainan for a meeting immediately! I have something to announce!"
"good!"
?¡
That night, the commanders of each infantry division rushed to Zhou Weiguo's headquarters. They didn't know why Zhou Weiguo wanted to recruit them back to the group army headquarters so urgently.
In the evening, at 8:30, the division commanders of each infantry division had rushed back and were sitting in the group army headquarters.
"I think you are all wondering why I called you back in a hurry. But I have something important to announce when I call you back this time. This matter is related to our future combat methods and adjustments to tactics and strategies!"
Zhou Weiguo stood in front of the rectangular table and looked at the generals and said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
