Chapter 53
When drawing the picture, Zhao Zhiguo naturally wanted to share his thoughts with Gao Cang.
As for Gao Cang and Noian Hou's performance, looking at the pictures drawn by Zhao Zhiguo is like reading a book from heaven.
"Company commander, please tell me directly. I'd better not look at the map. The picture you drew is completely different from the map."
According to Zhao Zhiguo's idea, the mountain close to the road is called the front side, and the back side is called the reverse slope.
A position must be arranged on the front, and then the entire mountain must be penetrated, that is, several longitudinal tunnels must be dug to connect the reverse slope of the mountain.
Hidden positions can be arranged on the reverse slope. Once there is a problem on the front, they can retreat from the back of the mountain. Ammunition and food can also be stored on the reverse slope.
"Company Commander, do you mean to turn the traffic ditch into a tunnel?"
"Yes, when Japanese planes and artillery are bombing, we can hide in the tunnels. After they finish bombing, our soldiers can come out of the tunnels and continue fighting, which can greatly avoid our casualties."
This kind of tunnel was often used in foreign battlefields more than 20 years later, and it actually originated from tunnel warfare.
"The method is good, but the amount of work is not small."
"The amount of work is indeed not small. Once used, it will save the lives of our soldiers. Moreover, once connected, the tunnels can also be protected from the grudge bombs of the little Japs."
On the Chinese battlefield, little devils will do anything to win a battle. Gas bombs are also something these beasts often use, and Zhao Zhiguo has to guard against them.
"Okay, then I'll listen to the company commander."
Fortunately, these soldiers all come from poor families. Although they have insufficient combat experience, they can endure hardships.
Moreover, Zhao Zhiguo adopted a shift system, with platoons working one platoon after another, so the soldiers could get adequate rest.
A few days later, the house was built and the soldiers had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Zhao Zhiguo also built a small square in the middle of the village for soldiers to train. As time passed, the soldiers' physical strength became better and better.
Of course, Dianhou has made the greatest progress. With Zhao Zhiguo's repeated stimulation, he has made rapid progress.
"Platoon leader Dian is very smart, learns quickly, and is very kind. He taught me a lot about leading troops in war."
When Qin Dongsheng spoke in front of Zhao Zhiguo, he was still at a loss.
But after such a long time, Qin Dongsheng dared to look up at him and stopped stumbling when speaking. It had indeed improved a lot.
"Is it just him? Is he still kind? He scolds me a lot, right?"
Zhao Zhiguo understood Dianhou well. In front of him, he was a good boy, but in front of others, when he had a bad temper, he would use bad words when he opened his mouth.
"Company Commander, who am I?"
"Stop pretending to be in front of me. When I first met you, I was deceived by your loyal appearance. Okay, today I'm going to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. You two should keep an eye on it, whether it's the positions on the mountain or
In the village, both open and covert sentries must be arranged."
He has been here for more than half a month, and Zhao Zhiguo has never been back to the regiment headquarters once.
Now that everything in the army is on track, only the issue of guns and ammunition remains unresolved.
The reason why he went to the regiment headquarters today was to deal with communication problems. Of course, he couldn't get rid of Gao Cang's little tail.
"Okay, I've heard about what happened to your two companies. Fortunately, it was the commander who appointed you. In less than half a month, everything is running normally."
"Captain, no matter how good we are, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw."
Zhao Zhiguo is here to complain today.
"The troops have no food? It's impossible. I remember that the logistics department only sent you food the day before yesterday. Our food is delivered to each company one day in advance."
"Captain, you know that's not what I'm talking about. Look at the list. Our regiment lacks officers. Up to now, I am still serving as the platoon leader of the second platoon. The same goes for the other two platoons. There is not even a deputy platoon leader.
"
"Zhao Zhiguo, you really dare to speak. Look at the regimental headquarters. Where is there an idle person? Ask the chief of staff how many jobs he does." Commander Hu pointed to the chief of staff aside and said, "clerical work, communications, etc.
The logistics... were so busy that he didn't go to bed until midnight."
"Okay, you have finished reporting on your work. Go back quickly. I still have a lot of work to deal with here. Let me tell you two, in these two days, the division commander will come to inspect our work and mention you by name.
Take a look at both of them, don’t have diarrhea when the time comes.”
There was no one around Commander Hu. What they received was a mess. From training to defense deployment, from weapons and ammunition to recruiting soldiers, they had to worry about everything.
"Captain, it won't look good if we go back empty-handed. Brothers are all looking at us at home. People can't support us. Others can give us some support."
"Do you want guns and ammunition? Don't even think about that. Your two companies are quite good. Although they don't have enough guns, they still have swords and spears. I still have half of the company's soldiers under my command, and I can only divide two grenades."
"I don't want guns and ammunition. Our communication with the regiment headquarters relies on two legs. Once a war breaks out, the brothers will send the news back to the regiment headquarters. The day lily is cold. I just saw it. There are more than a dozen horses behind our regiment headquarters."
horse."
"What a good boy, you are a drunkard and don't care about drinking. It turns out that you have already set your sights on the horse of the regiment."
"Captain, you don't want this horse for me, but for our communications troops."
"Okay, now that you are here, I don't feel sorry for these two horses anymore. You two company commanders each have one horse, but you have to remember that the position you two are guarding is very important. It is the gate of our regiment.
, there can’t be any carelessness.”
"Hehehe, thank you, leader."
Gao Cang was as happy as if he had eaten bee shit. After reporting his work, he followed Zhao Zhiguo and made a horse in vain without saying a word.
When they arrived, they took a donkey cart, but when they returned, they changed into a BMW. Zhao Zhiguo and Gao Cang were extremely happy.
"Hey, I originally wanted to ask the regiment commander for two medical soldiers. It will not be easy for our regiment commander to clean up this mess. I guess there are several company commanders in our regiment who haven't got them yet."
In fact, Zhao Zhiguo has already inquired about it. Their regiment does not have a battalion commander so far, which means that the company commander is directly under the management of the regiment headquarters. There were originally two battalion commanders. Due to the lack of grassroots officers, the two battalion commanders were driven away by the regiment commander.
Become a company commander.
"If the Japanese army really comes to invade, I don't know how long we can hold out."
Gao Cang was also worried about the troops. They had been here for half a month and they were on the right track, but their regiment's combat effectiveness was not even half that of a regular regiment.
"I believe in our division commander!" Zhao Zhiguo said nothing before galloping his horse, "Gao Cang, how about we two company commanders go out to play tomorrow?"
"Where to go?" Gao Cang asked.
"I've been here for so long, and I still don't know much about the surrounding forces."
