In addition to this encouraging theme report, Wu Aihua will also give a lecture on "Essentials of Armored Assault Tactics". In addition, Xia Zhongqing, Zhong Shoufu, Fu Lin, etc. will also give special lectures. Lao Kaisheng, commander of the Guard Division directly under the National Defense Forces, and Commander of the Guard Division directly under the National Defense Forces
Zhou Changbing, Commander of the Instruction Division, and Zhang Binxian, Commander of the 1st Group Army of the National Defense Forces, will also speak at the seminar on their experience in certain aspects of the war against Japan.
As far as the significance of this "training" is concerned, it is actually a review meeting for the veteran defense officers and soldiers to review their previous experiences and lessons learned in the war against Japan, especially the shortcomings in armored combat and infant, tank and artillery coordinated operations.
Wu Aihua felt that if these young officers of the National Defense Force did not realize their shortcomings from the perspective of tactical consciousness, they would also make mistakes of this kind in the upcoming battle against Japan. Such mistakes would be as minor as
It can lead to sacrifices, or in worse cases, it can lead to the failure of battles or even battles. However, Wu Aihua also has to admit that, including himself, the National Defense Forces are too young!
For the officers who have newly joined or are about to join the National Defense Forces, this "training" is tantamount to a brainstorming or brainwashing storm. Unprecedented tactics, unprecedented vocabulary, including unprecedented etiquette among the National Defense Forces officers are waiting for them.
With their learning, understanding, compliance and recognition.
In their final concluding remarks, these former officers of the Guangdong Army lamented that in the past, when the National Defense Forces won battles, they thought that the National Defense Forces relied on good equipment. After this training, they discovered that the National Defense Forces were not a matter of good equipment, but an all-round problem.
Well, compared with the Guangdong Army, they are completely two types of standards, requiring completely different armies. The difference between them is even the difference between farmers and soldiers.
Before the training was over, Wu Aihua's incident came up again, because Germany sent a delegation.
After Wu Aihua returned to the south, Avril told Wu Aihua via telegram: Germany decided to send a delegation to talk to the Chinese National Defense Forces. However, Avril's telegram did not reveal a word about when the delegation would come and who would be there.
, even when Wu Aihua and Chen Siwei got married and Avril served as the bridesmaid, she didn't say a word.
"Come if you want to come. Let's talk about it when you come." Since there was no certainty, Wu Aihua had no preparation, not even mental preparation.
When Wu Aihua had almost forgotten about it, someone from Germany finally came.
Because it was a secret visit, this incident did not alarm anyone. The outside world only thought that it was a few Europeans who came to Fujian to discuss business, because there are not tens of thousands of foreigners doing business in Fujian and Guangdong, at least thousands, and Wu Aihua’s
There are many foreigners serving in companies, enterprises, including the navy and air force. Therefore, the confidentiality of this matter is really good.
Only three people came from Germany, but the names of two of them were like thunder to Wu Aihua!
The first, Walter von Brauchitsch, will soon be promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the German Army and Field Marshal of the German Army. His main achievements are commanding the German army to invade Austria and the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia in 1938, and from 1939 to 1940.
He successively commanded the attacks on Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, and won successive victories. In 1940, he was promoted to marshal. At this time, Brauchitsch was the commander of the First Army of the German Army and a lieutenant general.
The second one, Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, is known as the "Father of German Armored Forces". He is the founder of the famous "Blitzkrieg" and "Tank Warfare", and is familiar to almost every Chinese military fan in later generations.
Name. At this time, Guderian's position is the major general commander of the German Army's 2nd Armored Division. On February 4 next year, Guderian will be promoted to lieutenant general and also serve as commander of the 16th Army.
Moreover, both of them would command the German army to invade Austria and the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia.
Seeing these two people, Wu Aihua suddenly understood Hitler's intention. Germany, this is where we come to learn from him!
Wu Aihua stayed with the two for three days. During these three days, Wu Aihua took them to visit the military industrial enterprises and tank units of the National Defense Forces, and organized a tour for the two of them with 48 "Kuailong 1" tanks (
Attack drills involving assault tanks).
Except for Shen Ren who served as a personal guard, the three of them were almost completely independent. "General Wu, are you not worried about your safety?" Boying Xiqi asked with some confusion.
"To ambush me and my guards and leave us behind, the enemy needs at least one battalion of troops. Even the special forces you Germans call, at least one reinforced company is needed. Excuse me, in my base area,
Is there such a powerful enemy force?" Wu Aihua asked rhetorically.
Of course, a special operations squadron was always on alert out of sight of the three of them, so Brauchitsch and Guderian naturally could not let Brauchitsch and Guderian know about this.
"Well, it is true that your officers and soldiers all admire you. We can see it from their eyes. But why do they do this?" Guderian also said proudly.
"Because, I gave them hope." Wu Aihua said simply.
In addition to such temporary lines and dialogues, during these three days, Wu Aihua had extensive exchanges with Brauchitsch and Guderian, the contents of which mainly focused on military ideas, strategies and tactics, future war directions, and comparisons between the Chinese and German defense forces.
etc.
In terms of military thought, Wu Aihua drew on the theories of later generations and put forward the concept that "war is fought based on comprehensive national strength" in order to take the opportunity to remind Germany. When talking about the upcoming war between China and Japan, Wu Aihua continued to point out that China
Japan must win, and Japan must lose. The reason is that although China looks weak, it is not as weak as it seems, because what people see is its economic strength, military equipment, training level, etc., which are only the "hard" components of comprehensive national strength.
People cannot see or ignore "strength" and "soft power". For example, China has the oldest culture in the world. In history, all those who wanted to conquer China eventually became Chinese, that is,
It is said that Chinese culture is powerful. Japan, on the other hand, started by learning Chinese culture. How can students easily defeat their teachers?
In terms of military strategy, Wu Aihua talked about Sun Tzu's thoughts on the Art of War and the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, such as "a soldier who conquers the enemy without fighting", "no one who is good at fighting has a great reputation", "advancing troops to defeat the enemy", etc. Of course, Wu Aihua also
Some new ideas were put forward, including the relationship between the army and the country, and the relationship between the army and the people. To put it bluntly, it is also a kind of military strategy.
If we talk about strategy, it is difficult for the two Germans to understand the East and the West due to cultural differences, but at the tactical level, there is no barrier. Let's talk about sea, land and air coordination, infantry-tank-artillery coordination, assault penetration, covering bombardment, etc.
De was very interested. Guderian and Wu Aihua were strong on experience, while Wu Aihua was strong on ideas. It can be said that both sides benefited a lot.
Wu Aihua was unwilling to say more about the direction of future wars. However, he pointed out that future wars will have new changes in their firepower density, attack speed, strike depth, and war scale. Due to the rapid advancement of aircraft manufacturing technology, their long-range
Strikes, long-distance delivery of troops, etc. will all be put on the agenda; due to the extensive use of cars, motorcycles, and armored vehicles, future wars will be more mobile and flexible. However, future wars will rely more heavily on logistical equipment. If there is no gasoline
, the tank can only be used as a fixed fort. Without artillery shells, the tank is worse than a rifle.
Of course, Wu Aihua only touched upon it and would certainly not describe the specific situations of those wars.
Three days later, Brauchitsch proposed that the two sides hold a formal meeting.
"What to talk about?" At this point, Wu Aihua has not gotten anything clear, so what is there to talk about? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to communicate together?
"I have a letter from the head of state to you. The head of state hopes that you will reply to him after reading it. Of course, your letter can be sealed. We will not read it without the order of the head of state." Brau
Hitch said.
"What we want to talk about is cooperation between the two armies. Is this okay?" Guderian added.
"The stupid Germans know how to launch surprise attacks!" Wu Aihua was a little unhappy. This seemed to be against diplomatic etiquette.
"You still have to talk about what you want to talk about. In this way, I can decide whether to talk or not. Just like this, aren't we very good? I think I am already your friend, right?" Wu Aihua said.
.
"Of course General Wu is our friend, and he is also a friend of the German Wehrmacht," Brauchitsch said.
"Well, okay. What do you want?" Wu Aihua said directly.
"Armor technology, aircraft technology, rocket technology. As for your missile technology, I guess you won't give it, so we won't make this request." Brauchitsch said.
"This, it seems, can be discussed." The equipment Wu Aihua showed them was all from the 1940s. Of course, it was the culmination of human-related technologies in the 1940s. In fact, if Germany was to research it, it would not be possible until at least 1942.
.
Wu Aihua's current main equipment is still the technical level of the 1940s. 1945 technology, such as semi-automatic rifles, Wu Aihua's consideration is not to consider when fighting the Japanese. If the firepower is insufficient, it can be made up for by the mg42 squad machine gun.
But what does Wu Aihua need?
In the past three days, Wu Aihua has also been thinking that the Germans will definitely propose some transactional terms, because it is impossible for them to travel to the far East alone.
Want a German colony? It seems that Germany is also in short supply.
Then, it is best to have the "richest" Germans, and what China lacks the most, just like Wu Aihua when considering national issues before, whatever China lacks the most in the future, we must be ready to accumulate for them now.
What the Germans are most famous for in later generations in the world is their rigorous and scientific attitude and habits. Some people say that this is the "old-fashionedness" of the Germans, but Wu Aihua believes that the Chinese people lack this kind of "old-fashionedness".
", so a lot of nondescript things have come out. The Chinese are too adaptable and too tactful. This is one of the bad qualities of development, just like "fighting in a nest".
So, how to get the Germans to come over with this habit? The way is of course simple, that is to send overseas students. Thinking of this, Wu Aihua felt that he could offer conditions.
