Chapter 126 Actively prepare for war
The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army Command, the commanders of various infantry divisions and the brigade commanders of several brigades are reporting the reorganization of each unit to Qin Shou. It has been a month and a half since they started changing clothes. All the troops have been replaced with American equipment.
Moreover, after a long period of training, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army have mastered the performance of these American equipment and can exert their combat effectiveness. Although it is a little awkward in tactical coordination, overall, they can basically go to the battlefield.
During normal training, the soldiers can only be given a lot of basic tactics and knowledge to initially form combat effectiveness. If you really want to train an elite soldier, it can only be achieved through tempering on the battlefield.
"The equipment of the commander and the Americans is indeed much stronger than the Japanese equipment we used before. However, the requirements for logistics support are too great." Sun Changwu, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, was a little worried.
The power of American weapons lies in their strong firepower. This also makes the troops extremely powerful in combat. This also causes the ammunition to be consumed very quickly, which puts great pressure on logistics supplies.
"Lao Sun, aren't you just worrying? If the pressure of logistics supplies is pressed, Americans will find ways to support us. Over the past month, Americans have been transporting military supplies to us continuously through the road. The military supplies we store are enough for us to fight a big battle." Yu Chengyin, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, smiled.
"Everyone, the advantage of American equipment lies in its strong firepower. This takes a lot of advantage in combat. Instead of relying on the flesh and blood of soldiers to fight against the enemy to death, it is better to rely on powerful firepower to directly flood the opponent with bullets and shells. In this way, our casualties can undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Although our troops are getting stronger and stronger now, the lives of soldiers are precious. When formulating tactics, we must fully consider how to win with the minimum casualties." Qin Shou reminded specially.
Although there are millions of Chinese in Myanmar, it seems that there are many. In fact, there are not many soldiers who can recruit from it. When the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was expanded this time, almost all young Chinese children in northern Myanmar were recruited. If you want to expand it again, you can only recruit in southern Myanmar. And you can recruit up to 30,000 to 40,000 people. If you want to expand the troops again, you have to find other ways.
Therefore, the lives of the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army are precious. In battle, you must save money.
"Yes, the commander." Several division commanders and brigade commanders nodded one after another.
"As for logistics supply issues, the Americans will now provide us with. In the next step, we will attack southern Myanmar and strive to take a port in the coastal areas of Myanmar. At that time, the Americans will be able to directly use merchant ships to transport weapons and equipment. Judging from the Americans' wealth and vigor, we will not have any major problems in logistics supply.
Moreover, in the future, we will develop our own industry, especially the military industry, and be self-sufficient. If that time comes, we will not have to worry about being choked again."
Qin Shou told everyone his thoughts. Now, everyone is on the same boat. If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army can grow and grow, everyone can be promoted and wealthy, and enjoy wealth. However, if they fail, I am afraid everyone will have a way out. In this case, everyone can only be united.
Therefore, Qin Shou's many plans were not hidden from everyone.
"It's still the rescue that the commander wanted. The Americans now support us and provide us with so many weapons and equipment. They want to use us. If we lose our value, they will throw us away like garbage. Only when we master the military industry and achieve self-sufficiency can we avoid taking our own destiny into the hands of others." Chen Dehai, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, agreed with Qin Shou's plan very much.
"Everyone, our troops have almost formed combat power now. And after being silent for so long, Japan himself must also be brewing an attack on us. Therefore, everyone cannot be careless just because we become stronger. We must always be vigilant. Once we start a war with Japan himself, we must ensure that we completely defeat them and win. In this way, we can make the Americans willingly support us more good things."
"Haha, the commander said it well. If we take the benefits of the Americans, we naturally have to do things for the Americans. We can't take the benefits without doing things." Zhang Erniu, the commander of the Investigation Brigade, had a smile on his face.
"By the way, I plan to send people to the United States to recruit soldiers and find industrial talents in the United States. Do you have the right candidates?" Qin Shou asked.
As a result, everyone looked at each other. They were all military officers, and they were just low-level officers before, so where did they know people from that field?
Seeing this, Qin Shou had to stop worrying about this issue. He planned to ask Lieutenant Colonel Steven to help him think of a solution.
Just as the meeting was about to end, a staff officer walked in with a nervous look on his face and sent a telegram to Qin Shou.
After Qin Shou finished reading the telegram, the expression on his face became solemn.
"Everyone, let's say Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. We just said that Japan is planning to launch an attack on us, but as a result, Japan is indeed starting to take action. Our intelligence personnel learned that the Japanese Burmese Front Army had sent the main troops, divided into four routes, and marched towards Morey. These troops, including the 6 Japanese divisions and three independent mixed brigades, had a total force of more than 110,000 people."
"I'm really here?"
The generals of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army immediately became serious.
"Captain, since Kojiben has invested so many troops, he obviously wants to fight us. And we have been prepared after this period of preparation, so there is no need to be afraid of them at all." Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan was the first to express his opinion.
Subsequently, other generals also expressed their hope to fight the Japanese army.
