War of Resistance

Chapter 797
The lonely old willow tree is on a small slope opposite.

The slope of this small slope is not too big, it is just a small gentle slope that is not too steep, and it is not the kind of very conspicuous slope in normal times.

If this gentle slope is replaced by a heavily guarded position, it will be a very favorable terrain.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to arouse his interest in Chen Cheng - he wanted to see if the young man in front of him was really that capable?
If this Zhang Tianhai was really capable, he wouldn't mind reusing this Zhang Tianhai.

After all, in Chen Cheng's view, if he can secure his position as the commander of the Ninth War Zone, he must use his record to speak - if the Ninth War Zone is losing ground under his command, he must be the commander. It won't be long before the chief!

For those who are not convinced, please refer to Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Seventh War Zone and the commander of the Nanjing Garrison. If Nanjing is lost, can his commander still do it?
Not only was Tang Shengzhi unable to do it anymore, but he was also burdened with eternal infamy!

Even if Chen Cheng wanted to quickly annex the [-]st Regiment of the Ninth War Zone Guards, he had to wait and see. It was impossible to turn a tiger-wolf division into a weak and incompetent reptile, right?

I saw that the troop of the secret service company was moving very fast, and Liu Houming, the company commander of the special secret service company, was commanding the troops on the left and right to crawl and spread out in the direction of the old willow tree.

Almost all of their advance routes chose the imaginary enemy's shooting blind spot. When they approached the imaginary enemy's shooting distance of 200 meters, their advance suddenly stopped, and then they set up grenades in a place with a certain bunker.

There are quite a few grenadiers in this spy company, and within a short time, dozens of grenadiers were set up and fired bursts of intensive artillery fire at the imaginary enemy's position.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Intensive artillery fire bloomed on the hillside like bursts of blooming roses. In an instant, the mud flew across, and death was everywhere.

When the grenadier launched artillery fire to suppress the firepower, the other officers and soldiers of the special service company were not idle, and immediately used a light machine gun to form forward positions one by one.

"Suddenly..."

"Suddenly..."

"Suddenly..."

Long tongues of flame sprayed out from the muzzle of the machine gun, and dense bullets poured over the land after the explosion.

In the end, soldiers with shiny bayonet rifles charged forward one by one.

All the movements were almost done in one go, without a single pause.

After a while, the officers and soldiers of the secret service company rushed up to the hillside where the old willow tree was. The old willow tree had already been blown to the ground, and then emitted a burst of thick smoke.

Looking at this scene, Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile: "Regimental Commander, your army is indeed very powerful, and its ability to cooperate in combat is also quite good. If it were you, how would you use it reasonably? This army?"

"At a critical moment." Zhang Tianhai replied loudly.

"What is a critical moment?" Chen Cheng asked, but his eyes were always smiling at Zhang Tianhai.

"When fighting at night, or when raiding important enemy targets. In normal times, this unit is generally not used." Zhang Tianhai did not hide it, but directly told Chief Chen the answer.

"Raid the enemy's important target, well, this can be done. After all, your troops have such powerful firepower, and you have done such a good job of cooperating with them. Presumably, you can reap greater results when you raid the enemy, right?" Chen Cheng said. out the most critical part.

"Yes, sir. To tell you the truth, the humble officer thinks so too." Zhang Tianhai said.

"Very good, your idea is indeed very good. But what I want to say is that an army has special combat capabilities, which is an advantage, but you can't lose the way of daily combat, right? If you have Without soldiers, how do you use this army to achieve the greatest effect?" Chen Cheng's eyes never left Zhang Tianhai's body, and he wanted to see if Zhang Tianhai was really capable.

"Report to the commander, this situation will not happen! Because this unit is the sharp knife unit of our regiment, it must rush to the front line when fighting. If there is a position that cannot be taken, send this unit to take it. !” Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.

"Oh? It's just used in this way, isn't it a waste?" Chen Cheng seemed to be in high spirits, and asked a series of questions, and they were about the secret service company.

"Our regiment not only has special agents, but even this unit, we also have artillery battalions, small artillery companies, and mortar companies. It is absolutely impossible to send the elite of our troops to die. All the firepower is concentrated in one place, no matter how difficult the position is, I have the confidence to take them down!" Zhang Tianhai said confidently.

"Since you have this confidence, that's fine." Chen Cheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" Zhang Tianhai said loudly.

"Okay. I believe in your guarantee, and hope that you can continue to display your troops' combat effectiveness and fight for our national army!" Chen Cheng patted Zhang Tianhai's shoulder heavily and said.

"Yes! Sir!" Zhang Tianhai reassured loudly.

"Okay, I'll take a look at your squad leader's training company next." Chen Cheng took the initiative to ask, after all, he also wanted to see what the blood and blood of the army was like.

The squad leader's training company is the real combat effectiveness of this unit.

Whether it is from Chen Cheng's point of view or Zhang Tianhai's point of view, whether an army can display its real combat effectiveness depends on whether the grassroots organization of this army is strong enough.

A strong enough army, then its grassroots organization must also be very strong.

So, after seeing the combat effectiveness of the secret service company, Chen Cheng inevitably became interested in the grassroots troop composition of the first police regiment.

For Zhang Tianhai, this may have become commonplace.

But for Chen Cheng, this is still a very novel discovery. The combat effectiveness displayed by the police regiment will determine how he uses this force.

There is a positive use, and there is also a strange use.

Compared with the outstanding performance of the spy company, the squad leader's training company didn't feel so elite.

Although the queue was still so neat, the spirit of the whole army was not as obvious as that of the special agent company.

After all, compared to veteran troops killed from the battlefield, recruit troops always lacked some murderous spirit, and under the same circumstances, they were not so sufficient in terms of competitiveness.

The company commander of the squad leader training company is Bai Chengchao, the deputy company commander of the secret service company. After all, this company is a temporary combat company, and it is incomparable with the regular company of the special service company.

In order to highlight the emphasis within the regiment, Zhang Tianhai deliberately selected such a No. [-] person to be in charge of the training of the squad leader's training company.

In any case, it is reassuring to have at least one officer with a certain overall planning ability in charge of this work.

Perhaps it was because he had seen the elite of the spy company, so when Chen Cheng watched the squad leader's training company, he was always in high spirits.

Even Zhang Tianhai thought it was a little unusual.

In fact, Zhang Tianhai really wanted to go up and say something, big brother, can you stop having such high hopes?It made me very stressed.

But think about it. After all, this is a very slap in the face. Zhang Tianhai is not so cheap that he likes to slap himself in the face.

"Mr. Chen, this unit has not been trained yet. If you inspect it, you may not be able to show such a strong combat effectiveness as a special agent company." After thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai still gave Chen Cheng a vaccination.

Chen Cheng had a smile on his face, and then said: "It's okay, you can start showing interviews, although I, Chen Cheng, have not been in the front-line combat force for several years, I think I still have a good eye for people. .For your army, you will know whether it is a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk.”

"Company Commander Bai, please lead your troops to conduct a drill!" Zhang Tianhai ordered loudly.

"Yes! Group seat!!" Bai Chengchao, the temporary acting company commander, responded.

Soon, this squad leader training company composed of squad leaders began to practice for a while.

Compared with the live ammunition exercises of the special agent company, it is obvious that the squad leader training company has not yet reached this point.

They are still suitable for conducting drills one after another, and then quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The reason why drills are called drills is also related to their training methods. It feels like a machine doing exercises.

The training subjects displayed by the squad leader's training company are probably training subjects such as queue training, military boxing, bayonet fighting, zama step and so on.

For them, these are the latest novelty projects they have been exposed to.

Because most of the people in the squad leader's training company were recruited from outside troops. Like the original squad leader, he had already been promoted to platoon leader or company commander.

In Zhang Tianhai's view, the existence of the squad leader's training company is very necessary. After training these squad leaders, not only can the combat effectiveness of the troops be improved very quickly, but more importantly, it can help Zhang Tianhai quickly and comprehensively grasp the The whole army!
No one is selfless, and Zhang Tianhai also has them. He wants his orders to be unimpeded in the [-]st Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone!
This may be classified as desire for power, or it can be said to be possessive - this army was created by him, so this army should be deployed and commanded by him!
Queue switching, standing in a military posture, military boxing and bayonet fighting, etc. may have long been commonplace in Zhang Tianhai's view.No wonder.

However, in Chen Cheng's eyes, he saw it with gusto.

"Commander Zhang, what I'm more curious about is that other troops do not have such strict requirements on the training of this formation as you do. I would like to know why you have such high requirements on the formation of troops? Is it just To look good?" Chen Cheng didn't think he was wordy, so he directly caught Zhang Tianhai and asked.

"Report sir, the reason why this army is trained in this way is that I want this army under my command to be full of steel-like will, and to be able to obey the orders of the commander." Zhang Tianhai carried out tirelessly explained.

"Oh? But I've never seen any army with such strict requirements on the queue. Isn't this for better looks?" Chen Cheng looked at Zhang Tianhai with a half-smile and said.

"If the chief insists on thinking this way, I can only say that I can think so. If an army can be so perfect in such a detailed way, then they must be able to be so perfect when dealing with big scenes. Yes, at least that's what I think, I don't know what the officer thinks?" Zhang Tianhai asked Chen Cheng back.

"Haha, good Zhang Tianhai, you have the same theories. If you hadn't led the troops on the front line and fought several beautiful battles, I would have ordered them to be arrested for the others. Already." Chen Cheng said with a laugh, obviously he believed in Zhang Tianhai's theory ninety percent of the time.

"Sir, this is just a humble opinion, and it's not mixed with too many selfish thoughts." Zhang Tianhai said truthfully.

"I've studied the few beautiful battles you fought on the front line." Chen Cheng said a seemingly irrelevant topic, and then waited for Zhang Tianhai to pick up the conversation.

However, what made Chen Cheng feel very helpless was that after he uttered these words, Zhang Tianhai was like a wooden man, dumbstruck, neither answering nor speaking.

In desperation, Chen Cheng could only accept it by himself and continued: "You fought those few battles really well. Especially in terms of strategy and combat concepts, you did a very good job. From this It can be seen that you also have certain accomplishments in strategy. Can you tell me about your prediction of what may happen next to the Japanese army?"

"As for the forecast, I dare not say it. It must be very standard. I just want to express my own thoughts. If there is something inappropriate, please criticize and correct me." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zhang, it's okay to say that you are the elite of the Whampoa Military Academy, but the elite is also a human being. Humans will always say something wrong. Even if you are wrong, I will not hold you accountable. And so on. You can rest assured and just say it." Chen Cheng said, although she didn't get along well with Minister He, it didn't mean that he was really so stingy in some respects.

"Yes, sir! I believe that the Japanese army will do their best to win Wuhan in the future, because in their view, if they win Wuhan, then the entire team's China combat plan will be completed. Then The next thing to do is to make an emergency landing on the Nationalist government." According to his memory, Zhang Tianhai described what will happen next in a very general way, that's all.

"Head Zhang, your idea is indeed very practical. Not only do you think so, but we also think so. It's amazing that you can have such a strategic vision at such a young age. I have high hopes..." Chen Cheng sighed, and judging by his appearance, it didn't look like he was joking.
