Chapter 1158 Improving Competitiveness
"Commander, Brother Fan asked you to reply to his telegram immediately, or call him!"
"I see!"
The good mood didn't last long before it was completely ruined by this telegram.
"Commander, do you want me to explain to Brother Fan?" Bai Chongxi looked at Ma Wanzhong's appearance, and wanted to laugh a little in his heart, Ma Wanzhong was completely like a mouse seeing a cat at this time, and Ma Wanzhong's mouse couldn't avoid Liao Fan's cat, so he had to meet it with a smile.
"No, who has my old horse been afraid of?"
Although he said this, Ma Wanzhong was pretending to be in front of Bai Chongxi and them, if the person next to Ma Wanzhong at this time was Hu Guoshan, it is estimated that Hu Guoshan would have been secretly having fun on the side.
Ma Wanzhong stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his buttocks, and the moment he turned around, his face immediately changed!
"Call Brother Fan's office!"
Ma Wanzhong asked the communication soldier to dial the phone, he was ready to be scolded by Liao Fan, and he was also ready to not give in at all. He finally brought it back to the Northeast, and he must not send it back.
"Report to the Commander, the call has been answered!" Signal Corps Report.
Ma Wanzhong took a long breath, as if he was going to the execution ground!
"Brother Fan, Ma Wanzhong reports to you!"
On the phone, Ma Wanzhong and Liao Fan first talked about the military operations in the Northeast and the situation that will definitely occur in the Northeast in the future!
For Liao Fan, it is also rare to hear the voice of the old brother! And at the beginning, Ma Wanzhong took people to the Northeast regardless of his net worth and life, this kind of dedication is not something that everyone can have, and even if there is, he must weigh whether he has the strength to do so.
The two chatted for a long time, but Liao Fan never mentioned Ma Wanzhong's robbery! Ma Wanzhong wondered if he was thinking too much!
However, it is really impossible to hide some things from Liao Fan, the army was built by Liao Fan, if he didn't know what was going on in the army, he, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, would not be responsible.
"What happened a few days ago is only this once, if something similar happens in the future, don't be the commander of you, go home and pick up the child!"
The two of them talked for a long time, and private and business matters were mixed with each other! But in the end, Liao Fan's tone suddenly became stern, obviously warning Ma Wanzhong.
Originally, Ma Wanzhong was still lucky, but at this moment he knew that he was hiding nothing! But he was very moved, Liao Fan didn't blame him, obviously Liao Fan must have taken some time to understand the situation of Ma Wanzhong's troops.
After learning about the situation of Ma Wanzhong's department, Liao Fan didn't want to deal with this matter, after all, Ma Wanzhong was also for the troops, and he was going to the battlefield at any time, so he had to be able to fight when he was pulled to the battlefield.
"I know it's wrong!"
Now that Liao Fan knows about the matter, Ma Wanzhong doesn't want to hide it anymore, he bears all the consequences alone, and he can't implicate the matter on the two principals.
"Just know that you are wrong, I will not hold the two principals accountable, you can rest assured to lead the troops on the front line, as for the four hundred and fifty officers, whether they are good seedlings or not, cultivate them with their hearts, and give them one more chance when necessary, they are still young, not like we have experienced so much!"
It took them three years to train a group of officers, and the school, of course, will not guarantee that they will all succeed! But for the school and the country, it is a very big expense to spend three years of one's life with all the resources exhausted!
"I know, I'll keep an eye on them!"
"It's not too early, I won't bother you, if you have time, go back to Taihang Mountain to have a look, and come to Luoyang by the way, I haven't had brothers here for a long time!"
Liao Fan also thinks about those brothers who have fought together, but now they have to perform their own duties, if they all want to enter Luoyang, who will guard the frontier?
As soldiers, some troops can garrison the Beijing Division, and some troops must stick to the Gobi and the plateau!
After talking to Liao Fan, Ma Wanzhong was relaxed! Maybe it was a good result for him, at least not as bad as he imagined, Liao Fan didn't criticize him, but simply warned him not to do such a thing again.
"Commander, what did Brother Fan say?" Bai Chongxi came up curiously.
"I didn't say anything, it's just chatter, we haven't seen each other for two years, so naturally we have a lot to say!"
Bai Chongxi saw that Ma Wanzhong didn't say a word about this matter, and he couldn't continue to ask again! Instead, he asked Ma Wanzhong for a list of people, and these lists were all the names of those students.
Obviously, Bai Chongxi has become Ma Wanzhong's good helper.
"Brother Fan, I just mentioned you!" Ma Wanzhong said suddenly.
"What did you say?"
"Let me give me a chance, you are a doer, capable, knowledgeable and far-sighted!"
"Did you just praise me?" Bai Chongxi didn't believe that Liao Fan mentioned him just to praise him.
"From now on, you will also serve as the deputy commander, and you can make decisions on matters within the group army!"
When I talked to Liao Fan just now, I mentioned Bai Chongxi, not that Liao Fan was promoted to Bai Chongxi as deputy commander, but that Liao Fan asked Ma Wanzhong to do it by himself, and he just made his own decisions about this little thing.
After Ma Wanzhong thought about it for a while, he had already decided on this matter! Since Liao Fan trusted him so much, Ma Wanzhong had no reason to doubt it, and he also performed very well behind enemy lines, except for one defeat, every battle behind them set an example for them.
So after thinking about the wording, Ma Wanzhong directly promoted Bai Chongxi to his helper.
"A bit of a sudden......"
"It's nothing sudden, there are a lot of sudden events on the battlefield, don't we all accept it? As for the letter of appointment from the military department, I will have someone get it for you as soon as possible! ”
Sudden appointments on the battlefield often happen, sometimes because officers die in battle and have to be replaced by others, and some people have to be promoted because of outstanding military achievements!
Bai Chongxi's concurrent appointment as deputy commander is not much of an improvement, in fact, it is just a recognition of his ability!
"I'll go and arrange all those trainee officers first, at least every division and each regiment should be averaged!"
In Ma Wanzhong's group army, the distribution of resources is uneven, like Bai Chongxi's army, which was originally the smallest number of troops in the entire group army.
After this replenishment, although it has reached full strength, it is still inferior to other units in terms of officers! However, he has just been promoted to deputy commander, and he cannot favor one over the other.
Obviously, Liao Fan has great expectations for him, and he also took the initiative to ask to come to the Northeast Army, so he can't ruin the reputation of this army.
The army has new recruits, which is an interesting thing for veterans, you must know that many veterans are ordinary infantrymen, but now they are squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, and the brothers who originally slept on the same bunk instantly became a competitive relationship, and they naturally rushed to pick good soldiers.
Moreover, they must also take the soldiers to understand the new equipment problem, weapons are an important reliance after they go to the battlefield, and a soldier who does not understand his own weapons is an act of dying on the battlefield.
The squad leader has the task of the squad leader, and the company commander has the task of the company commander! The company commander began to learn to use walkie-talkies, which was high-tech for many people, but every company commander had to learn how to use it, and he had to learn to communicate professionally with the regimental headquarters and artillery.
In other units, many company commanders have come out of military schools, where they have already studied in this area.
Many officers in Ma Wanzhong's troops were born in the field before, not to mention the company commander, even the regiment commander may not be used! However, the regiment commander no longer needs to learn how to use walkie-talkies, because there are already professional liaison personnel in the regimental battalion, and they can do things without the regiment commander and battalion commander worrying.
However, the company is different from this unit, the squad can cooperate in combat, and the company commander is the commander of this unit, so the company commander plays the role of connecting the upper and lower levels, and if there is a coordination of artillery fire, one of their companies may play the strength of a regiment.
But this time they were lucky, the company deputy and platoon commander who were added to their company were all from the military academy, they knew these things, and even knew how to report the coordinates with the artillerymen!
But Ma Wanzhong did not let go of his plans to let go of these company commanders: "Tell you, if you learn, you will still be the company commander in the future, if you can't learn, I will let the person who will be the company commander!" ”
It is not because they have won a battle and have military merits that they can firmly sit in the position of company commander, Ma Wanzhong does not give them a sense of crisis, and some of them company commanders definitely do not take these things seriously.
Liao Fan had already told them when he was in Taihang Mountain that the future war would be a cooperation between multiple arms. Among the troops in the northeast, except for Ma Wanzhong's group army, other units have already been used in the actual combat stage, while Ma Wanzhong's troops are still in the learning stage.
He snatched so many officers from the military academy, and then he didn't study modestly, not only were their troops left behind by other troops, but the waste of resources alone would make Liao Fan first cut more than half of their troops when he was disarmed.
You have to be good enough not to be eliminated from the competition, and the same applies to the military! Ma Wanzhong also heard about the disarmament of the army.
The Southwest, Northwest and Southeast Military Regions have all been cut off, and Ma Wanzhong himself is not satisfied with the way their troops are now, let alone let Liao Fan keep them.
Therefore, it is necessary to improve the strength of their troops, and to improve the strength of their troops, it is necessary to put pressure on the officers, so that the officers can feel the pressure, so that they can have the motivation to study and progress.
With soldiers and equipment, the troops are training, continuous training, so that the recruits can integrate into their big collective as soon as possible! And then play their part in this collective.
Similarly, Ma Wanzhong's staff officers in the command headquarters have also been replenished, and with sufficient staff officers to reduce his mistakes in decision-making, Ma Wanzhong and they survived the cold winter and finally saw the arrival of spring.
