Chapter 626 Brainstorming
Zhao Zhiguo has many "strong generals" under his command, all of whom are battle-hardened.
"Our troops are not good at attacking tough battles."
As a commander, Zhang Zhiguo knew his troops well and his soldiers were very good at fighting positional battles. It would also be okay if they fought against the Japanese troops defending their positions.
But attacking the heavily fortified county seat of the Japanese army...
"I think it's better for Gao Cang and others to come over and discuss it together, and let's brainstorm ideas!" Matthew Wen insisted on his own idea.
In the red army, there are soldier committees at companies and above. The purpose is naturally to participate in the management of the army. During combat, soldiers can also put forward effective opinions to the commander through the soldier committee.
Some soldiers are at the forefront, and some veterans are very sensitive to the situation on the battlefield.
Through the soldiers' committee, they can arrange better plans to the commander.
Recently, Matthew Wen has been trying to find ways to establish a soldier committee so that everyone can contribute to the management of the army.
Moreover, the establishment of soldiers' committees helped to oppose the remnants of the warlords.
Although Ma Xiuwen knew Zhao Zhiguo and would never embark on the path of a warlord, the brothers under him were all warlord officers.
It is better to take precautions now than to use military law to deal with them when they make mistakes in the future.
"Well... then let them come and discuss it together. I also want to see if there has been any big war recently and whether these people have lost their skills."
When Gao Cang and others were called to the headquarters, the whole headquarters became lively again.
Zhao Zhiguo patiently told Gao Cang and others his thoughts.
"Captain, you used to think of a solution and we carried out the orders. Why is it now our turn to think of a solution?" Yao Pengju said.
Yao Pengju is very smart, but he is just too lazy to use his brain.
Whenever someone helps him with an idea, he will never come up with it himself. What he likes to do most is that Zhao Zhiguo gives him an order and then he executes it.
"Military democracy was proposed by our instructors. You have all heard about it in the garrison recently. Our army is going to set up a soldiers committee. You must all know what it does."
"Captain, our special operations team is already democratic enough. When the war breaks out, the soldiers will have more opinions than I do."
The special operations team has a small number of soldiers and they are all veterans. They have no shortage of abilities. When encountering difficult problems, they discuss them more actively than Yao Pengju.
"Then treat yourself as a member of your special team today and save me some trouble!"
Zhao Zhiguo sat directly on the chair and crossed his legs, as if you have the final say today.
"Comrade Captain, the instructor has said that as a soldier, there is a way to stand and a way to sit. As the captain, you are the supreme commander of this unit, and you should play a leading and exemplary role."
Gao Cang said to Zhao Zhiguo seriously.
"Hey? Lao Gao, I haven't seen you in the past two days, okay..."
When Zhao Zhiguo heard this, he was unable to refute.
"It's not the captain's intention to find you, it's my intention! You didn't see just now that our regimental commander's brows were knitted into knots in order to solve the problem of food and clothing for our troops."
Matthew stood up and explained to Gao Cang and others.
"The army is our home, and we can't always count on the leader to contribute, right? So I called you here to share the pressure with our captain."
Although they are all soldiers, each one is more careful than the other. The reason why Matthew Wen insists on doing this is because he has seen Zhao Zhiguo's frown in the past few days.
"Instructor, if you say so, we will understand!" Yao Pengju said.
"Usually, you all turn a deaf ear to what I say. But do you all remember what the instructor said?"
"Captain, aren't we sharing your worries?"
However, if they expected Yao Pengju and the others to come up with good ideas, the little devil would have been beaten away long ago.
However, the discussion among a few people was lively, and the headquarters had not been so lively for a long time.
At this time, what Zhao Zhiguo was thinking was that no matter whether there was a good way or not, sometimes it was a happy thing to have a lively atmosphere in the headquarters.
"Yao Pengju, you are not afraid to brag to death. I admit that your special team is very powerful. You don't take the little devils in Wangxian County seriously at all. But based on the current situation in Wangxian County, your special team has great abilities.
You can sneak into a class."
Special Forces are good at defeating the enemy from the inside.
But Wangxian at this time is no longer what it was back then.
Since the Japanese army issued an order that Japanese soldiers were not allowed to leave the county seat, the Japanese soldiers were very strict in interrogating people entering and leaving Wang County.
There are very few outsiders coming and going to Wang County. If you want to let a group of soldiers sneak in, someone will definitely be caught.
Before the battle started, their soldiers were first captured by the Japs and then tortured. The soldiers who couldn't bear it anymore exposed their plans to the Japs.
"Old Yao, Lao Gao are right. Sneaking is only suitable for small groups. Even if a dozen sneak into Wang County and cause earth-shaking trouble, they will not cause too much chaos to the Japanese and puppet troops in Wang County."
It's not that the special forces team is useless, but the role it can play this time is too small.
A little internal strength is not enough to shake the foundation of the Japanese army in Wang County.
"What about attacking the puppet troops?"
There are more puppet troops than Japanese troops in Wangxian County, and many important places are also guarded by puppet troops.
If they could persuade the puppet troops to surrender and use their strength to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese army in Wangxian County, their operation would have a high chance of success.
"The puppet troops are too unreliable. Even if we can temporarily persuade them, what will happen if they rebel again at the critical moment?"
Zhao Zhiguo has also thought about this plan. Although they have a long time to contact the puppet army, the variables of the puppet army are too great.
If they attack the city and the puppet troops go back on their word, Zhao Zhiguo and others will be unable to attack for a long time and have to retreat.
After half a month of back and forth, I was finally fooled by the puppet army, and my morale was definitely going to be hit.
A large part of the puppet troops in Wang County are cobbled together by the local security groups, and they are even more familiar with everything in Wang County than Zhao Zhiguo.
"Should we place a few of our men into the puppet army?" Tian Kezhi suggested.
It's not just Zhao Zhiguo who is recruiting troops, the puppet army is also recruiting troops.
Moreover, Zhao Zhiguo's troops also had quite a number of people from Wangxian County, and he asked them to join the puppet army.
"Look, college students are college students, and they are much better than the bad ideas you come up with one after another. However, many brothers have been away from home for a while, and their sudden appearance in Wang County will definitely arouse suspicion."
Wangxian soldiers under Zhao Zhiguo have been away from their hometown for a few months to a year.
Just because the puppet troops are incompetent in combat doesn't mean they are all fools.
