Chapter 875: Using the People as Shields
80,000 Japanese prisoners of war were returned to the Japanese army in exchange for the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhan! The whole city of Wuhan was immersed in cheers and cheers, and the soldiers of the national army were also busy transferring the arms in Wuhan out of Wuhan City.
"Wuhan is peaceful, will China's peace be far away?"
Xue Boling stood on the tall building and looked at the people of Wuhan City, with mixed feelings! He didn't know what to say, as a general, he should have galloped the field and opened up territory for the country! And when the country is in danger and needs them to come forward, they use this way to exchange national interests!
"The country is still in danger, as soldiers, the Japanese invaders have not driven China away, we should not slack off!" Xue Boling knew that China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression still had a long way to go, and they had only achieved a little victory, and some people began to be complacent and complacent, thinking that all the lost territory had been recovered by them!
Some of the people around Xue Boling began to feel that Xue Boling was disappointed, and the people of the whole city were cheering and happy, and they still had to carry a heavy heart.
"Okay, don't follow me, you should be happy, you should be busy, you don't have to accompany me here, I just want to see Wuhan City here!" Xue Boling didn't want to disturb the mood of his subordinates because of his heavy mood, after all, the successful recovery of Wuhan was indeed a happy thing!
The reconquest of Wuhan is indeed an exciting news for the people, especially the people who are still in the occupied areas, they see hope, no matter how slim this hope is, there is hope after all!
After handing over the little devil prisoners of war to the Japanese, Liao Fan's heart was also put down, after all, those little devils looked like they were going to die, and staying here with Liao Fan would not play much role!
But after all, they are still alive, and they can be recuperated if they are weak, and the little devils will definitely send them to the battlefield, and there will be 80,000 more Japanese troops on the battlefield for no reason! After all the calculations, Liao Fan still feels that he has lost money!
But there is another thing that Liao Fan is very worried about, the incident in Wuhan may cause the little devils to follow suit, as long as tens of thousands of people are used as shields, the Chinese army will not attack rashly, they can take the opportunity to deploy troops or wait for the rescue of the troops, after all, the Chinese people are unarmed.
Using the common people as shields is what Liao Fan is most worried about! However, what Liao Fan was worried about happened just now when the New 33rd Army attacked a stronghold, although the little devil adhered to the spirit of bushido, but in order to survive, the little devil still used the Chinese people as his shield.
Even on the battlefield, in order to protect certain strongholds, the Japanese army kept Chinese people in captivity, and these ordinary people were the hole cards in their hands, and the Chinese army could only look at the ocean and sigh.
"This battle can't be fought! Xinghe stronghold, we have been there three times, there are only 20 little devils, but there are more than 100 ordinary people! We didn't even let go of a shot! ”
A company commander under Hu Guoshan was very angry when he attacked a Japanese stronghold, they were ready to serve more than 20 little devils in the stronghold, but they went three times in a row, and as a result, there were ordinary people outside a turret, and they still had * hanging on their bodies, as long as the soldiers took a step forward, the little devils would detonate their *!
The fighters never dealt with this situation, and for the safety of the civilian population, they had to withdraw back!
"Are there many cases like this?" Hu Guoshan asked after learning about the situation encountered by their troops.
"There are still a lot of them, and many strongholds around have begun to use the common people as shields, and the soldiers can only retreat!"
"These little devils are really brutes, and fighting a war is a soldier's business! What is the spirit of bushido to use the common people as shields! Hu Guoshan was also angry in his heart, this kind of battle was really a test for them.
"Commander, you have to think of a way, this will have a great impact on the morale of our soldiers, and the people around you don't dare to go out during the day!"
"It's easy to do, select elite fighters to form a commando team and attack at night! Let's get the people out and move them to a safe area first! ”
If there is a problem, there must be a solution to the problem, it is just a good or bad solution! For Hu Guoshan, what happened on the battlefield, as long as it was not a large-scale group army attack launched by a little devil, he had a way to solve it!
The little devils would not have thought that the Chinese soldiers would come back to attack them at night, they thought that with the cover of the Chinese people, they could sit back and relax! But the commandos organized by Hu Guoshan were all veterans who survived the last battlefield, and they touched the turret in the dark, and then quietly killed more than 20 little devils, and then walked away.
The Japanese commander did not expect the Chinese army to come up with a way to deal with it so quickly, in fact, using the common people as a shield is only suitable for large-scale battles, and small-scale battles For those officers of the New 33rd Army Military Region, they have more than 100 ways to fight the little devils!
"Organize manpower, transfer the people between us and the little devil defense area to our defense area, tell them that they will find new jobs in our defense area, enough for their lives, and when their hometown is safe, we will arrange for them to return to their hometown!"
In order to prevent more ordinary people from being caught by the little devils and used as shields, the new 33 rd Military Region has no choice but to adopt this method, and although it cannot protect all the people, it can ensure the safety of some ordinary people to some extent.
In the large-scale battle with the little devils, the Chinese army and the little devils were fighting wits and courage, and the Chinese army did not dare to risk attacking the Japanese army, and the Japanese army did not dare to risk attacking the Chinese army, because both sides were not prepared enough, and after capturing a place, there were not enough troops to hold this place, and in the end, both sides had to maintain the status quo!
After arranging the affairs in Taihang Mountain, Liao Fan finally had time to take a look at the reorganization of his troops! Liao Fan's first stop was Hu Guoshan's troops!
"What about Zhao Caizhu?"
"Lao Zhao went to settle the people, many people have come from the enemy-occupied areas recently, and Lao Zhao has helped arrange the people recently!"
Hu Guoshan didn't dare to be careless in arranging the affairs of the people, and he could only rest assured if he handed it over to Zhao Caizhu to do it!
"I'm here to see the reorganization of the troops, and last month, Li Lingfei had already come, and I also read the report he wrote to me! Do you see any problems? ”
There will definitely be such and such problems in the reorganization of the troops, and early detection can be solved as soon as possible, and if problems are found on the battlefield again, it will be really too late!
"Brother Fan, in fact, we haven't encountered many problems, or you can assign us some more officers! The first batch of officers who graduated from our military academy have all been appointed, and there is no problem with the middle and upper officers in the reorganization of the army this time, but there are too few grassroots officers! ”
In the Taihang Mountain garrison, in Shanxi, and in Hebei are all military schools, originally students need to study in military schools for two years, and then enter the army to study for one year before they are appointed! But because the army really lacked officers, Liao Fan had to change the rules, students can come out of school and enter the army in a year, and then after studying in the army for half a year, they can serve as deputy platoon commanders!
However, now that the new 33rd Army Military Region has been reorganized and some officers have been promoted, it is natural that there will be a shortage of officers in some units!
"You Lao Hu still lacks officers? After your unit came out of Shanxi, there were quite a few experienced non-commissioned officers, and some of them were completely capable of taking up the position of officer, so why didn't you promote them! ”
As more and more battles are won, more and more veterans will survive in the troops, and all non-commissioned officers who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and participated in five medium- and upper-sized battles can be appointed as officers to make up for the shortage of officers in the troops.
Since Hu Guoshan's troops entered Shanxi, the troops have moved to the Jingcheng area, and they have hardly suffered defeats, and their family backgrounds have become more and more abundant, and there are more and more veterans.
"Brother Fan, you are really sharp-eyed, although we are not short of officers, but most of the officers' cultural level is too low, write a report to me, except for their own ability to understand, no second person can understand, those officers from military schools are different, after two battles, they can also lead troops, and the report is also well written!"
Hu Guoshan really began to have a headache for his troops, and sometimes asked some officers to write an operational report, and the report was no different from graffiti! Hu Guoshan really broke his brain.
"I don't blame me, I said that we must insist on improving the cultural quality of the troops, you always turn a deaf ear, and you can solve this problem yourself! Still have questions? Liao Fan asked.
"There's no problem, the adaptations are all very good, there are a few regiment leaders who have not been promoted in this adaptation, and I have a small mood, so I have solved them!"
In the reorganization of the troops, there will definitely be officers who will be promoted, the officers who were originally at the same level have become their superiors, and the officers who are at the same level have become equals, and there must be some people who will have some small emotions, why so many people have been promoted, and they have not been promoted!
This problem is the best problem to solve, because from the establishment of the army to the establishment of the new 33 rd Army Military Region, most of the officers who have been promoted have been promoted on the basis of military merit and seniority, and except for a few who are particularly capable of being specially appointed by Liao Fan, very few people disagree with this appointment rule!
"Then let me ask a question, what are the specifications of the armored brigade of your division now? Armored divisions? Liao Fan asked Hu Guoshan what to do with his armored troops.
"An armored division has been formed, but the establishment is not enough for the armored division, and half of the tanks and armored vehicles can still go to the battlefield after such a long time!"
The tanks and armored vehicles captured from the little devils are really useless, and Hu Guoshan's armored troops are going to become infantry.
