Before meeting Zhao Zhiguo, Gao Cang also had a military career of about ten years.

It was with the appreciation of Commander Zhang that he climbed to the position of company commander.

After following Zhao Zhiguo, in just a few years, he rose from the position of company commander to battalion commander, and battalion commander to deputy commander.

Many of them know that without Zhao Zhiguo, they would not be where they are today.

Gao Cang not only regarded Zhao Zhiguo as a friend, but also regarded Zhao Zhiguo as his boss.

The position outside Anyang Town is not far from Anyang Town. When their main force attacked Pingcheng, Gao Cang's troops deployed here defeated the reinforcements from Bingzhou.

Although their outermost troops are already thousands of miles away from Anyang Town, the defense at their doorstep has never been relaxed.

"Lao Gao, how is the morale of the troops after the reorganization?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Gao Cang.

"Don't reorganize and leave the troops. There must be some complaints."

It was originally the main force in the regiment and had a well-known name.

But he suddenly went to the fifth regiment. Not to mention whether he could be the main force, the ability of the new regiment leader was far from that of Gao Cang and others.

"It's normal to complain. You can't suppress them. You have to do ideological work."

If grievances are not resolved in time, they can sometimes turn into resentment.

As time goes by, resentment turns into grudges. Going to the battlefield with grudges is a very scary thing for a large army.

"The political commissar has long ago issued instructions to each of our regiments. Before the reorganization, we must hold a meeting to do ideological work. During the reorganization process, we must talk to each company commander. During the conversation, a recorder must be present. After the reorganization, there must be a meeting!"

Gao Cang recalled it.

When the troops were reorganizing, they had one big meeting on two days and one small meeting on one day!

Gao Cang even found every company commander and talked with them. The shortest conversation was no less than half an hour.

During that period, Gao Cang was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"As commanders, we not only have to give orders with our mouths, but also listen with our ears!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Has there been any feedback from the Soldiers Committee?"

A long time ago, Zhao Zhiguo and his army had a soldiers committee.

The purpose of this organization is to feed back the most useful information to the commander more quickly and efficiently on the battlefield to reduce troop casualties.

During the reorganization, not only some company and platoon leaders must have felt aggrieved, but some soldiers must also have been unhappy.

After all, no one wants to change from the main force to a second-rate combat force.

"Commander, the soldiers did not react at all. After all, their company and platoon commanders obeyed the orders." Gao Cang said.

Zhao Zhiguo and his team's company and platoon commanders played a great role.

They are present in the charge on the battlefield, and they also play a leading role in daily life training.

"If I hear any rumors, you, Lao Gao, go to the political commissar yourself to plead guilty." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Commander, I dare to promise you and the political commissar that if there is anything I, Gao Cang, can't do well, you can punish me," Gao Cang said.

Having followed Zhao Zhiguo for so long, he knew what Zhao Zhiguo wanted.

Especially in the army, you can't do anything fancy. If you have it, you have it, and if you don't have it, you don't have it. There must be a clear answer, not an ambiguous conclusion.

"Let's go, there should be a position ahead, right?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

The soldiers standing guard on the hill had already discovered Zhao Zhiguo and his party, and then used flag language to signal to the garrison halfway up the mountain.

The company commander who was guarding the mountainside used binoculars to look at the direction Zhao Zhiguo and the others were coming from, and immediately identified the identities of Zhao Zhiguo and the others.

"Commander is here, cheer up!" the company commander ordered.

"Report to the commander, report to the regiment commander, and the fourth company commander to report to you."

The fourth company commander walked along the path up the mountain and came out to greet Zhao Zhiguo and the others.

"The Fourth Company just switched defenses the day before yesterday." Gao Cang said.

"Fourth company commander, lead the way and let me see your company."

The surface position remained the same as usual, but the underground position was widened and deepened.

The internal positions are divided into functional areas, including a place for cooking, a place for sleeping, and a place for going to the toilet.

"Commander, we have also set up a position above, with fortifications and bunkers. We have also made straw men and put them on some of our army's military uniforms." The fourth company commander reported to Zhao Zhiguo, "This is our fourth company and the sixth company.

Let’s work together to find a solution.”

In order to defend against the enemy's air power, all officers and soldiers guarding the position brainstormed ideas.

Zhao Zhiguo once told them that the way to use military force is to make the enemy confused about you. Only then will you have the opportunity to appear at the enemy's weak point and bite the enemy hard.

In this case, they set up a false position on the top of the mountain. When the Japanese planes came, they could conduct reconnaissance and bombing as they pleased.

Anyway, there wasn't a single living person on the false position.

"This method is good, Lao Gao. It can be promoted to the whole army, especially your regiment. The terrain in the defense area is special, mostly mountainous, and it is mainly for defense." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Yes, Commander!" Gao Cang said.

"Give credit to the Fourth Company Commander and the Sixth Company Commander. If you have the opportunity, let them go to the positions of other companies to teach and impart experience. Of course, it can't be too rigid. Where there are no conditions, there is no need for you to set up two positions. Then

There is no more 300 taels of silver here." Zhao Zhiguo said.

The biggest feature of Zhao Zhiguo's troops is flexibility.

Use any method and never stick to one method to the end.

The tactics of the little devils are too rigid and never change the triangle formation. The triangle formation is used in the plains of the north, the triangle formation is used in the mountainous areas of the west, and the triangle formation is also used in the rain forests of the south...

It is precisely because of Zhao Zhiguo and his troops' understanding of the Japs and their flexible use of tactics that they have achieved this good situation today.

"Thank you Commander!"

After hearing that a meritorious service was recorded, the fourth company commander quickly went through it.

"Can the troops have hot meals?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"Yes, two dry meals a day and one thin meal a day."

"At night, you can't see the situation on the road at the foot of the mountain from this position, right?"

Zhao Zhiguo stood on the battlefield and headed towards the road at the foot of the mountain.

It's clear and unobstructed during the day, but at night, you definitely can't see anything.

"At night, we will move the sentry forward, five or six meters away from the roadside, with two sentries on the left and right," said the fourth company commander.

"Let's look up again!"

Zhao Zhiguo and the others continued walking to the top of the mountain.

There are also sentries on the top of the mountain. As the saying goes, you can see far if you stand high.

There are two sentries with four people, one in front and one behind. The one in front is responsible for guarding the front of the position, and the one behind is responsible for guarding the direction of Anyang Town.

Just now, Zhao Zhiguo and his party were discovered by the sentry behind them.

"You are the eyes of your company, so I don't need to tell you how important it is, right?" Zhao Zhiguo said to the soldiers standing guard.
