Chapter 279: Defensive Posture
It wasn't until the evening that Xu Fei secretly took Peter. After Hansen, an old naval officer, took over from the ship and directly arranged for him to become an instructor in the future navy of Yingkou, Xu Fei returned home with peace of mind and rested for the night, and the next day he began to start a new work arrangement.
Two days later, Wu Hongtian, Dai Chenghui, and the newcomer Li Jinghua and several other high-ranking officials of the Japanese army gathered again in the conference room of the Yingkou headquarters.
"Commander, first of all, let me report on the recruitment work and training." Wu Hongtian sorted out the information in his hand and said.
Without Chen Jian just here, the meeting has become a lot more serious, and everyone including Xu Fei thinks a little bit about the guy who has become an old oilman.
After Xu Fei nodded in agreement, Wu Hongtian handed a document to Xu Fei before saying:
"It has been a full month since the Japanese army was fully stationed in Yingkou on February 20, and our conscription work has been very smooth, so far, a total of 18,900 qualified soldiers have been recruited.
The first batch of 6,000 recruits has been assigned to various units after nearly a month of training, and the existing two combat infantry regiments have 2,500 men, 2,500 artillery men, and 1,000 air defense regiments.
During this period, the Grassroots Officer Training Office has trained 540 commanders at the company and platoon levels, and now they have returned to their units to take charge of their duties.
The training base and the training office for grassroots officers have been handed over to Cao Fang. The next 12,000 people should all be sent to the troops in a month and a half, and the above is some information about the training base, and the details are in the materials. ”
Xu Fei took a look at the information. The above content is the same as Wu Hongtian's explanation, he is also very satisfied with the development of recruit training, although this month and a half of intensive training does not train any elite, but as long as the basic combat skills are mastered, the time to mature on the battlefield will increase a lot.
"Hmm...... Yes, you are now back at the Big Stone Bridge, and most of the affairs of the army will be handled by you in the future. I hope you can complete all kinds of tasks just as well. Xu Fei nodded and said.
"Yes! Commander. Wu Hongtian replied.
Waiting for Wu Hongtian to sit down, Dai Chenghui looked at Xu Fei with a smile and said:
"When Brigadier Wu comes back, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. During this time, the enemy in the area of Pailouguan was ready to shoot reconnaissance detachments looking for shortcuts and paths along the mountainous areas, and we sent people into the jungle to continuously eliminate more than a dozen of them, and after more than 100 people, they temporarily stopped reconnaissance operations;
Now that the weather has warmed up and the snow has gradually melted, I have consulted with the brigade commander and waited for the clouds in the sky to disperse. It is estimated that the enemy army has another plan to attack the archway pass. But we don't know how big they will send to test us.
There are also small hills and small plains in the generation from Shifo Town, Qikou Town to Huwang Town, and it takes at most a day for the enemy to send troops from Jinzhou or Haichengzi to arrive, and we have now redeployed the garrisons of those towns;
The 1st Regiment, 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, and the Artillery Regimental Air Defense Regiment now have a total of more than 2,000 people defending on that line, and the 1st Regiment and 3rd Battalion have crossed the Liao River to occupy the peninsula area of Erjiegou Town, which is a threat to Yingkou, and have held the enemy forces that may appear on the opposite side from the town along the ditch to the peninsula.
We have occupied the county town of Jiyan a few days ago, and the second regiment except for a reinforced company left behind at Yingkou and Dashiqiao, the rest of the troops were stationed along Jiyan to Gaizhou;
The artillery regiment is now training and garrisoning, but the number of various types of artillery is insufficient. Our current combat and defensive capabilities are not enough; The distribution of the air defense regiment is divided into important areas, and for the time being they are only in secret training. ”
"Strengthen the defense. This is our strategy for Shenyang and Jinzhou in the next few years, to try not to provoke a full-scale attack by the Japanese army, and to develop local and military strength as much as possible;
After the completion of our plan for the peninsula, the troops began to implement a long-term policy of raiding and harassing the Japanese army in order to temper the strength of our troops. Xu Fei also nodded in response.
Since occupying the Worm Rock and Erjiegou Peninsula, Xu Fei's territory has increased by thousands of square kilometers, and this is only for the reason that Yingkou is safer to occupy these places, to say that as long as the Japanese army is willing to fight, they can directly hit Panjin and will not encounter much obstruction;
But in that case, the destruction of the Japanese army will seriously threaten the Japanese puppet army in Jinzhou, as long as this trend is formed, the Japanese will definitely temporarily abandon the front to suppress the Beijing-Tianjin national army and retreat to destroy the Japanese army;
Xu Fei and the top brass of the Japanese army knew this very well, so they would rather see those places where the Japanese army was not stationed for the time being, and they were not willing to start a full-scale war with the Japanese that was bound to be lost.
Xu Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop and muttered for a while and said:
"The arrangement of the army is to remain unchanged in accordance with the current defensive posture for a short time, and if the enemy wants to attack, then we will destroy the other party with all our might;
For the time being, for the next two or three years, the Japanese army will not give up its plan to wipe out the remnants of the rebel forces and volunteers in the entire northeast, otherwise it will only focus on the situation that the destruction of the Japanese army will cause the entire northeast resistance forces to continue to grow;
Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that within three or two years of our Yingkou annihilation of the Japanese army's base area and the national control area, there will be at most a small-scale conflict with the devils, but I wonder if the devils will have a large-scale conflict with our army once the Ludao Peninsula is taken by us?
Li Jinghua, director of the intelligence department, has just taken over the management, and your next task is to have the intelligence personnel in various localities closely monitor the movement of troops stationed in various localities, and after summarizing and screening it, the combat department will analyze and study this information.
Director Ye Hao said about the situation of the arsenal, and now and in the future, we will gradually rely on our own ordnance industry, and buy foreign goods at will, which can only be restricted by others. ”
Chen Linpeng is now also the director of the arsenal with the rank of major, but he is not wearing the costume of the national army, so he came to the meeting in a gray tweed coat, he looked at the data in his hand and read:
"The arsenal has been officially put into operation for more than ten days, but the skills of most of the workers are not very stable, the old workers who gradually came from Shenyang have begun to put into production, and began to take apprentices to learn, but most of the old workers still have to slowly transfer over;
According to the time they agreed, all of them should be there in a month, and then we will have more than 2,000 skilled workers, as long as they arrive, guns and artillery will not be a problem, and even after the equipment arrives, ordinary aircraft and combat vehicles can be produced.
