Chapter 1378 Armored Vehicle
Matthew Wen was also fooled by Yao Pengju, so he had no choice but to ignore the idiot next door.
"Old Zhao, I heard that you didn't go to school, and yet you still like calligraphy so much?" Ma Xiuwen asked Zhao Zhiguo doubtfully.
At this time, Matthew Wen's doubts about Zhao Zhiguo were like Yao Pengju's doubts about the chameleon.
It doesn't feel right for a person who hasn't gone to school to be interested in other people's calligraphy.
"It has nothing to do with not being able to keep up with school. Although the calligraphy of the Chief of General Staff is not as majestic as that of Jiangnan flowing water, it is as graceful as the flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as this calligraphy is not lost in the future, it will become a family heirloom," Zhao Zhiguo said.
This is of course a family heirloom. It was written by the Chief of General Staff of the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention a masterpiece, it is also rare!
"I don't understand!"
"Political Commissar, there are more than 6,000 languages and more than 2,700 characters in the world. Only Chinese characters can be regarded as works of art!" Zhao Zhiguo said.
The culture of China can be vividly reflected in one word. In addition, it was written by the Chief of General Staff to Zhao Zhiguo, which is of extraordinary significance.
Matthew didn't understand: "What are you going to do with these Japanese prisoners?"
"The highest rank among these Japanese prisoners was a lieutenant, not even a major. The quality was so poor," Zhao Zhiguo said.
There was not even a junior officer, and Zhao Zhiguo was not interested in these prisoners at all.
"In this battle, we captured a total of 1,300 horses from the Japanese cavalry regiment. Are these horses distributed to the cavalry regiments?"
In the future, they will inevitably launch an attack on the Japanese army. They formed a powerful cavalry regiment, which can not only fight against the Japanese cavalry, but also charge and kill the Japanese infantry during the attack.
It was a pity that most of the Japanese cavalry horses were killed. Some of the horses survived but were injured and could no longer continue fighting.
Only 1,300 horses can be added to the army.
"Add one thousand to the cavalry regiment and let them train as soon as possible. Of the remaining three hundred, twenty will be kept at the headquarters, and the rest will be divided equally among the regiments."
In areas with narrow and rugged roads, war horses are undoubtedly the best means of transportation.
Each regiment also needs to communicate with each other, and naturally there must be a certain number of horses.
"Report to the commander, telegram from headquarters!" The communications soldier sent the telegram to Zhao Zhiguo.
Matthew Wen also leaned over and took a look at the telegram: "The head of the headquarters wants students."
"Give!"
At this time, Zhao Zhiguo was very generous. He could not give anything except the title of Chief of Staff to his wife. At this time, Zhao Zhiguo was willing to give anything to the headquarters.
"Old Zhao, there are more than a hundred people there. How many of them can return to our defense area? If several other chiefs go to the headquarters to ask for people, the headquarters will definitely send them to other troops first." Matthew Wen said.
"Political Commissar, you are becoming more and more like a member of our First Military Division."
"What is it like? I am originally, the First Military Division is my home. Can you not feel bad if you take out your own things? Bargain with the headquarters." Matthew said.
Matthew Wen knew very well that the Eighth Route Army was currently developing at a very slow pace. If these 100 people left the army, it would be great if 50 of them came back.
"Political Commissar, let's not be so petty. If we don't come back, we won't come back. It's all our Eighth Route Army." Zhao Zhiguo said generously.
"I think you are fascinated by this calligraphy. Are you still the commander of our First Military Division?"
"Hehehehe, this picture is worth it!" Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.
"No, I will report to the headquarters that 70 of these 100 people can return to our defense area to serve."
Seeing Zhao Zhiguo's appearance, Matthew Wen knew that Zhao Zhiguo was unreliable, so he had no choice but to send a telegram to the headquarters in person.
A piece of calligraphy and painting and a telegram arrived in Pingcheng. This was obviously a request for an important person from the First Army Division, and it was the kind that he had no intention of returning.
Zhao Zhiguo was happy to get the calligraphy and painting, but Matthew Wenke was very sober because he didn't appreciate calligraphy.
Matthew Wen went to send a telegram, while Zhao Zhiguo folded the calligraphy carefully, then wrapped it in a furoshiki and stored it away.
Matthew argued with the headquarters and finally decided that all the military officers sent would be returned. The student headquarters would keep 20 people, but the number of students sent must reach 60.
"Armored vehicles, it seems we should set up an armored vehicle brigade. First let our soldiers get used to what infantry-tank coordination is."
Although armored vehicles are not tanks, they can still be used as mobile bunkers to a certain extent.
During World War II, the infantry-tank synergy was very common, but the little devil's infantry-tank synergy was still at the kindergarten level. Of course, Zhao Zhiguo's infantry-tank synergy was still in prenatal education.
But prenatal education also has the ambition to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University. With armored vehicles, they have a training foundation.
Next year, when Jiang Wenzheng sends them tanks from overseas, the troops can be mobilized to fight.
"Which army should these eight armored vehicles be equipped with?" Zhao Zhiguo was worried again.
When Zhao Zhiguo was thinking about how to use armored vehicles to maximize their combat effectiveness, Yao Pengju reported to Zhao Zhiguo.
"Commander, I have discussed it with Lu Zheng and Ding Yucheng. They are willing to follow me to Bingzhou."
During the battle in Gangcun, Zhao Zhiguo discussed with Yao Pengju that they would reconnoiter the Japanese army's Bingzhou Airport again.
"When will you leave?"
"Tomorrow evening!"
"Go early and come back early. Remember, we are preparing to take over the airport." Zhao Zhiguo said.
They want to take over the airport completely and cannot be destroyed by the little devils.
"It is better to use armored vehicles uniformly. It is best to equip a regiment so that the regiment has the ability to maneuver quickly. It can not only assist the cavalry regiment in attacking the Japanese army's rapid maneuvering forces, but also be able to assault the front line and break through the Japanese positions."
Tian Kezhi said.
Armored troops must be grouped to have combat effectiveness.
Even if two armored vehicles appear on the battlefield, they can only deal with the poorly equipped Chinese army.
As long as there are two artillery pieces, armored vehicles with too few numbers will not dare to enter the battlefield easily.
"It stands to reason that it would be best to equip Zhu Hao and his regiment, but I want to expand Zhu Hao and his regiment into our fourth main brigade."
Zhu Hao's group can be considered old-fashioned. They have experienced so many battles and have matured.
"Reconnaissance team?" Tian Kezhi asked, "The reconnaissance team is formed by veterans, so there is no doubt about their combat effectiveness."
The reconnaissance regiment was initially established to detect the Japanese army. Later, due to operational needs, it was expanded to the regiment level and basically lost its reconnaissance role.
Moreover, Zhao Zhiguo has already used the reconnaissance group as the main force. Tian Kezhi once suggested that Zhao Zhiguo reorganize the reconnaissance force directly under the headquarters.
"The secret service team, Lu Zheng and the others have performed well in these battles, but their foundation is weak."
