The work of comforting the prisoners of war went smoothly beyond Ding Wei's expectations.
This saved him a lot of worry.
Ding Wei left the doctor's affairs to Qiu Chan and waited for the doctors to be sent to the military field hospital early tomorrow morning.
"I've been away for the past few days. Nothing happened to the team, right?" Ding Wei asked casually.
"Not yet." Qiu Chan said.
"What do you mean not yet?" Ding Wei felt confused.
"The Japs are currently active, and they seem to be suspected of wanting to start a war." Qiu Chan explained: "Currently, all ministries are restrained, and we are also waiting for you to come back to command the battle.
Should we continue to develop and wait for the Japanese to take the initiative to start a war, or should we take the initiative and seek opportunities to break through the enemy's encirclement?"
"Fight, of course, take the initiative to fight!" Ding Wei said: "I have been so depressed these days, there is not even a hard fight, it's all petty fights.
Since the little devil wants to start a war, we can't be vague. The knife is on our own necks, so there is no reason to retreat."
"good!"
Qiu Chan smiled and said: "The comrades in the team are just waiting for your words, and they are almost going crazy."
"Qiu Chan, I still have to work hard for you these days, sort out the situation in our bases, and write a pre-war report to the headquarters.
We need to obtain the consent of the headquarters first. Our family has a big business now, so a fight is no longer a trivial matter. Once a war breaks out, it will definitely be a big war, and the boss must be prepared."
"Hey, Old Ding, are you so good now?" Qiu Chan said.
Ding Wei said: "That's right, I am still an old man after all. I still have to distinguish what is more important."
Of course, these words are just for the occasion.
Ding Wei's inner thoughts must never be spoken out.
The 28th Task Force is temporarily established. It can be said that it is a big company at present. Although the team is all battalion-level units, they understand everything.
Any team picked out will be the main team.
Not to mention the artillery battalion. There is no artillery battalion in the entire northwest of Shanxi, except for the one directly under the command of the headquarters.
Ding Wei is the only one left.
Last time, Ding Wei shot a prisoner and was promoted from regimental leader to cook. Now Ding Wei would not make the same mistake.
He couldn't bear to see Task Force 28 being split up. After all, it was all his own hard work.
Qiu Chan saw what Ding Wei meant, but she didn't expose him.
It was getting late. After settling the Japanese medical staff, Ding Wei went back to rest.
He had been working hard in the outer boat for so long without even getting a good night's sleep. Now that the war was about to begin, Ding Wei would not rely on others and continue to overtax his physical strength.
Now we just have to recharge our batteries, and then we can deal with these little devils and make them understand.
In this area of northwest Shanxi, you have to tuck your tail between your legs and be a dog!
The next day.
Team office.
After Qiu Chan kept some of the medical staff she had 'invited', she sent all the rest to the brigade headquarters for them to handle.
Of course, this time Qiu Chan also had no intention of giving up.
The director with the best medical skills and his two assistants, and seven or eight experienced nurses stayed at the team site to assist the health team at the team site.
The 28th Regiment has now been reorganized into a brigade. Although it is a temporary establishment, it must have a directly affiliated field hospital to support its appearance.
After Qiu Chan finished her work, she returned to the team headquarters and prepared to have a brief discussion with Ding Wei about the upcoming battle.
Then there will be a group meeting to discuss the next battle of the 28th Brigade.
When Qiu Chan came in, Ding Wei was lying on the bank, writing furiously. There were about a dozen notebooks beside him.
"Old Ding, what are you doing?"
Seeing this scene, Qiu Chan was very curious and asked: "Why are you so serious about writing? Did you meet some women when you went out and are you planning to write a letter to contact her?"
"Yeah." Ding Wei responded casually.
Does he really dare?
It's broad daylight!
Still at the team headquarters?
The next moment, Ding Wei reacted suddenly. Seeing Qiu Chan's angry face, he smiled and said, "Hey, what are you thinking about? What kind of woman can I meet?"
Seeing Qiu Chan's angry look, Ding Wei secretly thought it was funny.
"Then what are you writing? Are you writing so seriously?" Qiu Chan asked.
"Something, something very useful to us." Ding Wei said with a smile.
"what?"
After hearing what Ding Wei said, Qiu Chan was extremely curious.
What Ding Wei is writing is exactly the militia training manual he wrote before.
Ding Wei had written one before, but it was only a part. Compared with the entire militia training manual, what Ding Wei compiled before was just the tip of the iceberg.
Later, because he was busy with matters in the group, Ding Wei suddenly forgot about it.
Nowadays, the number of people in the 28th Brigade is increasing. Although they are training according to this book, they have not learned many things later.
When Ding Wei was free, he was going to write down the following content and use it for the training of the troops.
The other is the Barefoot Doctor's Manual, of which Ding Wei only wrote part.
As the army expanded, the importance of these two books gradually became apparent, and Ding Wei also had another idea in mind.
Prepare to report to the headquarters together with the release of these two books.
Qiu Chan walked behind Ding Wei and looked at what Ding Wei had written. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Old Old Ding, are you writing a training manual?"
Ding Wei nodded and said casually: "Militia training manual."
"Militia training manual?"
Qiu Chan sounded familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, and said: "Is it the book that we soldiers often read during training?"
Um.
Ding Wei responded casually: "What I'm reading now is only part of it, I'm writing the second half, and there's also a manual for barefoot doctors.
This will also play a big role in our next battle."
"Old Ding, how did you come up with these things?" Qiu Chan asked, flipping through several notebooks written by Ding Wei.
"This." Ding Wei nodded his head and smiled.
Qiu Chan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Looking at Ding Wei's writing speed, she couldn't help but said: "Old Ding, are you writing a book or splashing ink?"
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Chan saw a few more lines in the notebook, and the handwriting was neat.
It is obvious that Ding Wei has received training in shorthand.
This kind of training is basically only practiced by agents.
For example, Qiu Chan, sometimes in order to remember important information, she needs to remember all the important content in a very short period of time.
"When you write a book, you have something in your mind, so you write quickly." Ding Wei knew what Qiu Chan was curious about.
"What about you, are you done?" Ding Wei asked.
"We're done, everyone has gone." Qiu Chan sat on a chair, flipping through her notebook boredly.
"I'm done, so I wanted to ask you what you think about the next battle." Qiu Chan asked.
"idea?"
Ding Wei wrote the last note, threw the notebook aside, and flexed his wrist: "Of course, I'm going to beat the little devil hard, and help Lao Kong rob the two Japanese girls.
Hey, don’t talk about it, I think two of those Japanese nurses are pretty good-looking, why don’t we give them to Lao Kong as maids, and they can warm Lao Kong’s bed when it’s cold in winter.”
"Old Ding, don't be joking." Qiu Chan said coquettishly, "Now is not the time to joke."
"Are you kidding, why are you so anxious?" Ding Wei said.
With that said, Ding Wei waved his hand and said: "Come on, Qiu Chan, what do you want to see?"
Ding Wei pointed to a large table in the team headquarters, which consisted of three large tables and was covered with a black cloth.
"Old Ding, what did you do?" Qiu Chan asked curiously.
Ding Wei walked to the table and lifted the black cloth.
When she saw the things on the table, Qiu Chan's eyes were immediately attracted.
The thing placed on it is none other than a huge sandbox model.
The locations of the 28th Brigade, as well as the towns, rivers, mountains, and major Japanese strongholds throughout northwestern Shanxi, are all marked on it.
There are even railways, highways, and checkpoints large and small.
What’s even more outrageous is that there are clearly models of Japanese and puppet troops on top, perhaps representing military strength?
There are also several arsenals, and a Japanese airport is marked on the sand table.
It is very obvious that this is a scaled down model.
"Old Ding, what is this!" Qiu Chan blurted out.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Isn't it obvious enough? This is a sandbox map."
As he spoke, Ding Wei picked up a baton on the table, pointed at a few points on the sand table, and said with a smile: "Our base is at these points."
Follow Ding Wei's movements.
Qiu Chan saw several locations on the map with flags with dings on them.
"No, no, I'm talking about this thing." Qiu Chan felt a little dizzy.
I have been in the team headquarters, but I don’t know that there is such a thing in the team headquarters?
"What's wrong with this thing?" Ding Wei laughed.
Qiu Chan raised her forehead and said, "How did you get this thing? Why didn't I know we still had this thing?"
Ding Wei smiled mysteriously.
In order to make this sand table, Ding Wei spent several months.
Ding Wei worked hard and had been preparing for this sandbox a long time ago.
In particular, all ministries have mobilized elite troops to collect favorable terrain and conduct reconnaissance close to the Japanese strongholds.
And after many reconnaissances, the map was drawn on paper.
Let’s talk about the details. The rivers and mountains are operating normally. What is truly breathtaking is the various Japanese strongholds.
Each stronghold has a detailed overhead view, and the configuration of military and firepower can be seen at a glance.
Of course, this is on the surface, the firepower points that can be observed, and the more detailed things are all on the hand-drawn map.
"Old Ding, Old Ding, you actually hid this trick." Qiu Chan looked Ding Wei up and down: "You are hiding it from me, tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"
"You have wronged me. You have been in the team, and you still don't know about these things in the team?" Ding Wei smiled deliberately.
The intelligence department of the 28th Brigade does a good job of keeping secrets secret, and even a veteran like Qiu Chan can hide it.
"Old Ding, you must have spent a lot of effort to create this map." Qiu Chan sighed.
"Of course." Ding Wei nodded.
Is it not hard to dance on the tip of a Japanese sword, especially when observing the situation in a Japanese stronghold?
"Old Ding, Old Ding, tell me what you want to do!" Qiu Chan asked: "You must have an attack target in mind when you come up with this thing!"
After a pause, Qiu Chan said again: "Tell me, tell me quickly, don't show off!"
Just kidding, Qiu Chan doesn't believe it, but Ding Wei used this thing just to prevent the Japanese from attacking.
Speaking of which, Qiu Chan even suspected that Ding Wei wanted to take the initiative to attack the Japanese and chose a soft persimmon.
"Qiu Chan, if it were you, how would you choose to fight?" Ding Wei asked without answering.
"I?"
Qiu Chan carefully observed the sand table.
There are not only the 28th Brigade up there, but also Li Yunlong's New Regiment and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment.
"If it were me, I would definitely choose a soft persimmon." Qiu Chan finally set her sights on Kong Jie's territory.
"In terms of strength on paper." Qiu Chan picked up another baton and pointed at the location of one of Kong Jie's troops.
"Kong Jie's new second regiment is relatively weak. I think if the enemy wants to go deeper, they will definitely choose a unit that is easiest to bully.
Instead of choosing the 28th Brigade, which is the strongest in terms of strength, although the Japanese are bad, they are not stupid."
As Ding Wei had judged, if the Japs wanted to take the initiative to start a war, they would probably choose Ding Wei, who was the easiest to bully.
"Since we all have a general understanding of the Japanese, they probably do a lot of intelligence reconnaissance on us." Qiu Chan circled the sand table.
While observing, walking and talking.
"Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle, even if they don't know the name, they will probably be aware of it by now. You three are stationed in the northwest of Shanxi, and they support each other."
"Continue." Ding Weile said: "I'm asking you, if you were a Japanese, how would you choose to fight?"
Qiu Chan's thoughts coincided with his own.
"If I were a Japanese enemy, I would definitely attack a point in your northern Shanxi Iron Triangle with a strong force, and I would also gather a heavy force to defeat the New Second Regiment in one fell swoop!"
Qiu Chan thought for a while and said in a very determined tone.
"The three of you have a life-long friendship. Once you know that Lao Kong was attacked by a large Japanese army and a support message is sent from Lao Kong, you will definitely send troops to support him!"
"And based on the intensity of the fighting, we will think that you want to launch a general attack on us from Shuozhou, open a gap and penetrate deep into our base area." Ding Wei continued.
"That's right, Old Ding, I just let you have this idea." Qiu Chan sneered.
There is really nothing to refute what Qiu Chan said.
Not to mention Qiu Chan, even Ding Wei would choose a soft persimmon. Kong Jie is not strong enough, so he can bully anyone else.
Of course, this lack of strength is due to comparison between Ding Wei and Li Yunlong.
Compared with other groups, Kong Jie's new second group is still very capable.
"Keep talking." Ding Wei said again.
Listening to Qiu Chan's words, she obviously has a backup plan.
"When you learn that Kong Jie was attacked, and still violently attacked, are you sure you can still sit still?" Qiu Chan asked.
"Of course I can't sit still. With the tempers of Lao Li and I, after learning about this incident, we will definitely send troops to support!" Ding Wei said again.
The Iron Triangle in North Shanxi is called the Iron Triangle precisely because every corner is indispensable. Once one defensive point is breached, the other two points will be in trouble.
"So once you send troops to support, your own guards will be weak. I will take advantage of this moment to launch an attack on your two bases!" Qiu Chan said.
"And I will also send multiple blocking troops to block the troops you want to defend, and once I tear apart your defenses!"
"Yes, under normal circumstances, this does happen." Ding Wei clapped his hands and said, "In fact, even if I were to fight this battle, I would still choose this method."
After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "But Qiu Chan, have you forgotten something, something very important?"
