My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

It's not that Fang Jingyao's dereliction of duty, in fact, there are no problems with strategy and command, as well as weapons, equipment and logistical support, but the biggest problem in the battle is the quality of individual soldiers, tactical use and coordination.

Not only are most of the soldiers in the new army recruits with little combat experience, but most of the grassroots commanders are also drawn from among the deputy officers of various units.

Moreover, because they have not been recognized by the country and have no official designation, the commanders and fighters above the regiment level are acting as substitutes. They only have positions and no military ranks. Relevant experience in commanding operations is also one of the reasons why the victorious battles suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Xing Fuquan, the chief of staff of the new army, handed over a mug, and said with concern: "Sir, let's have some tea, you haven't closed your eyes all night, why don't you take a rest? Let me watch here. Just fine."

"It's okay. The battle situation in the Pasheng River area is unknown. I can't sleep even if I lie down. Why don't I stay here and feel calm..." Fang Jingyao shook his head slightly, took the teacup and said with a smile.

"Actually, the 201st Division's formation like this is not bad. What I don't understand is why Jun Zuo put this new army into the main battlefield instead of following the main force to assist in the battle."

Xing Fuquan expressed his doubts with some emotion.

In his opinion, this new army, which is mostly raw, should not be placed on the front of the big battlefield to toughen the little devils. It is most appropriate to cooperate with the main force to fight. The huge casualties have already explained everything.

As the earliest old man of the Sichuan Legion, Xing Fuquan has maintained a diligent, rigorous and rational character for a long time, and he is also humble and unassuming in his dealings.

His overall view and command ability are fully reflected in the war against Japan, and now he is well-deserved as the chief of staff of the new army.

The most important point is that Xing Fuquan's personality is very similar to that of Fang Jingyao, especially when he was in the Honorary Third Division, he often asked Fang for his opinions on military command.

The two are also teachers and friends, and they have a very good relationship in private. When the new army was launched, Fang Jingyao called out important people to Liao Mingyu, and it was most appropriate for him to be the deputy.

"Alas, everything in the world is difficult or easy. If you do it, the difficult ones will also be easy. If you don't do it, the easy ones will also be difficult...

Everything is to learn from experience and lessons before self-examination. Any results we get are also our gains.

Have you ever thought that in the past, our Chinese army had to pay several times the price to fight against the Japanese. Now that our equipment and firepower are stronger, why are we afraid of sacrifice? "

Xing Fuquan was speechless after some soul torture, which forced him to bow his head and meditate.

Yes, although the new army sacrificed a lot in this battle, it can be regarded as an initial achievement in this raid on the Ayeyarwady Province. Compared with the previous victories that can be achieved at a very small cost, this time The process is not as beautiful as imagined.

"Xiao Xing, in addition to dispatching troops and planning strategies, generals must also learn to know the weather, the location, human nature, their desires, and their hearts.

Looking at the big picture... It's not just about focusing on the battlefield in front of you. You should look at the essence through the problem and think more about it. "

Fang Jingyao is still so gentle and refined, even when he is teaching others, he can't feel his sternness and displeasure at all.

The seemingly glorious position of the commander of the new army is actually not that simple at all. Liao Mingyu sent him here not only to command the battle, but also to win the Ayeyarwady Province and train troops... perhaps the latter's ultimate goal.

In fact, when he was still in the Heihe base, Fang Jingyao discovered that those recruit training camps were still recruiting and training soldiers. In the arsenal, which was regarded as an absolute secret, weapons and equipment were produced batch after batch. Increase.

It can be seen from this that Liao Mingyu is not satisfied with just forming this army. It is possible that the "New Second Army" and "New Third Army" will gradually appear in the near future.

Although the combat effectiveness of the new army is relatively weak, their experience has been honed slowly in actual combat. Don't forget that they are wearing new military uniforms, armed with the best equipment, and their firepower ratio has reached the highest in the entire army.

The difficulties that are emerging now can just reflect the problems in the new army, and if they are modified and adjusted, future troops may be built based on the new army system.

And by that time, the soldiers of the new army who have gradually grown up in the battle may become the backbone of the new army and an important cornerstone for building the new army.

Maybe another person listens to these words, maybe they don't take it seriously, but some Xing Fuquan will not do that, and will carefully ponder the truth in the words.

Seeing the other party thinking seriously, Fang Jingyao couldn't bear to interrupt, turned around and walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.

There is a small tent outside the field hospital next door. There is a long queue here. People who go in and come out are covering their elbows with cotton balls with their sleeves rolled up. Inside, several medical staff are drawing blood for each soldier. .

It turned out that there was not much plasma in the field hospital, and there were so many wounded waiting for treatment, all healthy soldiers in the headquarters were arranged to donate blood here one by one.

Those fighters with blood type O even donated 600cc of blood to the wounded. Most of them were pale and sat in the camp beside them for a rest. The nurses in the hospital also brought sugar water and some canned meat for them. Nutritional supplements.

However, some soldiers are still quite resistant, because people in this era have no common sense. If they want to draw their own blood, it will cost half their life. Few of them are willing to take the initiative. Most of them are ordered by the officers. of.

"Sister, smoke less, you said that if you smoke such a big tube, it will kill you..."

The soldiers sitting on the bench looked worried, but they reluctantly rolled up their sleeves under the murderous eyes of their company commander.

"It's okay, we only draw 400ml of blood, and it won't affect you. If you want type O blood, you can donate 600ml, and you can get an ocean next door." The little nurse who performed the needle said blankly.

"You have to take it easy, brother, I haven't found a wife yet, hehe, how old is my sister this year, is there..."

The soldier was obviously frightened and glib. Seeing the delicate female nurse in front of him, he couldn't help but talk about Longmen Zhen.

"Ouch!"

Before the glib soldier could finish his sentence, the company commander gave him a hard blow on the head: "Damn, thank you, old man, do you owe it? You can't keep your mouth shut, can I send you to the gendarmerie?" play?"

"Don't, don't, the company commander, calm down, calm down..."
