After the division and brigade commanders left, Wang Guangyu and Yi Jianping had a simple meal and then talked to the military and political leaders of the detachment. Wang Guangyu did not ask how Yi Jianping and Wang Zhaofang talked, but When looking for a candidate for the detachment leader, he did not directly explain his new position and work to Yang Jicai.
After he made his intention clear and asked him to come up with a reliable and sound battle plan based on his understanding of the superior's intention and the enemy's situation along the route, Wang Guangyu still wanted to be more prudent, so during the conversation At that time, Yang Jicai’s next step was not directly stated.
However, in view of Yang Jicai's actual command experience in front-line operations, and he only served as acting company commander at most, for the sake of safety, Wang Guangyu still organized the troops scheduled to be included in the roundabout detachment before departure so that he could plan better operations. Using the plan as an excuse, he was assigned to direct command.
In order to ensure that this detachment, which was separated from the main force and acted alone after crossing the border, communicated with the main force and the troops leaving the customs, in addition to providing walkie-talkies and various radio stations as needed, Wang Guangyu also specially allocated a radio for him. Communications vehicle and a jeep.
Although it was a little late to sharpen his weapons before the battle, Wang Guangyu did not want the candidate he selected to be Ma Su, who could only talk about military affairs on paper. The reason why he chose Yang Jicai as the military commander of this detachment was not because of his relationship with Yang Zhen. In fact, Yang Jicai Wang Guangyu still doesn't know that he is Yang Zhen's biological brother.
But Yang Jicai is very talented in the military. Wang Guangyu knows this very well. Ever since Yang Jicai came to work in the Nenjiang Military Region, Wang Guangyu has always admired his military and organizational abilities. Otherwise, he would not have been there before the launch of this campaign. He asked Yang Zhen for someone, but also put him in the most important position of Chief of the Operations Section of the First Class Main Division.
In Wang Guangyu's view, with Yang Jicai's ability, he can definitely shoulder this burden, but after all, his previous actual command experience was only as a platoon leader, and later he temporarily acted as company commander for a period of time. After the battle last year, He was transferred to the headquarters as combat staff officer.
Before this battle, he spent most of his time as a combat staff officer. Although his performance in the multi-arms collaborative training at the Fujin Comprehensive Training Base was quite outstanding, he also temporarily served as a military officer during a comprehensive military performance. The acting commander of the combined regiment-level detachment has been fully recognized by the headquarters for his organizational ability and military qualities, especially his keen sense of smell that is beyond ordinary people during exercises.
But the exercise is an exercise. No matter how it is based on actual combat requirements, it is still an exercise after all. The actual front-line command experience, especially the command experience of the regiment-level detachment that combines multiple arms, seems to be somewhat lacking. Allocating the scheduled troops to him in advance can allow him to Enter the state early.
In addition, after breaking through the national border and dividing their troops, the 23rd Division of Xing'anxi Province in the north was attracted by the main force. Most of the Japanese troops in Rehe were now attracted by the troops leaving the border. This intersecting force should not encounter too much. With the large number of Japanese troops, along their entire march route, they were probably more likely to encounter local Japanese and puppet military and police.
On their planned roundabout route, the enemy situation was relatively not very serious. Coupled with Yang Jicai's own ability, this was why Wang Guangyu appointed him as the leader of this detachment. Of course, another reason was the relationship with Yang Jicai himself. Personality has a certain relationship.
Although Yang Jicai is a young man who has achieved success at a young age and is highly valued by several heads of the headquarters, including himself, he is quite down-to-earth and stable. Although he cannot be said to be comprehensive in handling many things, he is not comprehensive. The arrogance and arrogance of a successful young man.
He is also quite delicate and thoughtful, and considers problems quite comprehensively, especially his staff level. Even among the combat staff officers in the entire military region, he is definitely one of the best. Let him handle the relationship with the troops inside and outside the customs. Yes, it's very reassuring.
After reorganizing the troops according to the latest plan, seeing that there was only a short time before departure, Ren Guang, who was going to make a fortune over there, had not come back yet. Wang Guangyu was somewhat anxious. Wang Guangyu was not worried that Ren Guang would not be there. The sound of gunshots meant that they did not encounter any trouble there. What he was worried about was that his old comrade who was used to suffering would not be able to hold back when he saw a good thing.
There is no way, I was used to it before, and now the conditions are many times better than before, but the troops still can't change the habit of making money, especially the logistics department, which is an important unit for replenishing supplies. The problem of scratching as many lines as possible on the battlefield has never been completely eradicated. He even had this idea himself and indulged the troops below him intentionally or unintentionally.
Although the captured light weapons of the Japanese army are no longer looked down upon, and heavy weapons must be handed over to the headquarters for unified deployment in accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, other materials, such as military blankets, well-made cotton coats, and Japanese military supplies mainly made of fine grains Food and other supplies still make various troops quite envious.
There are also other things such as officers' watches, compasses, and engineering tools, which are also very popular. Although no one dares to keep large quantities of things in private, but small things, if the doctrine and regulations allow it, Under this, after each battle, each unit can obtain a lot of things privately.
Not to mention others, the First Division in front of me each wore a Japanese-style military coat last winter. It was much lighter than the standard coat issued by the headquarters, but its cold protection was not bad at all. It was the military coat they captured in last year's battle. After that, I left it privately without turning it over.
There are also a pair of high-waisted cotton leather boots for Japanese officers and a full set of Kwantung Army cotton hats, cotton gloves, and cotton leather shoes issued to cadres above the battalion level. They all come from the same source. They are not all for making a fortune. Otherwise, where would they get so many cotton winter clothes?
Think again about a division, all cadres above the company have Japanese military standard Seiko watches or pocket watches, and cadres above the regiment each have a Swiss Ingels watch or a German Glas-Hütten military watch, and even a luminous watch specially used by the German Army. As for the watch, on Li Mingfeng's wrist, he was wearing a German Junkers JU 52 military watch that even No. 1 was envious of.
This watch is a watch specially designed for pilots of the German Junkers 52 transport aircraft. The hands on it are the same as the cockpit instruments of the Junkers 52 transport aircraft. Not only are they luminous hands, but they also have other functions such as an altimeter. Li Mingfeng is an all-military watch. In addition, it is also the only military watch, which makes No. 1 very greedy.
The headquarters equips division-level cadres with Swiss Ingels watches seized from enemy and puppet trading firms. However, in the first division, this kind of watch has replaced the Japanese-made Seiko watches or the standard equipment of regiment-level cadres in other units. Citizen watches have become the standard watch for regimental cadres.
As for the division-level cadres of the first division, they all wear German military watches, and they are all high-end products used by pilots. Even the regiment-level cadres, many of them are equipped with German military watches, and no one wears Japanese watches. , for the first division, it is the equipment of cadres below the regiment level.
If these watches are purchased by the logistics department, the limited funds allocated by the superiors of each army cannot afford them even if they sell iron. If they go out to rob them, what awaits them is severe military sanctions, and the lightest one is dismissal and sentencing. , and may even be shot. That cadre does not have the courage to rob people, even if they know that it is a business run by the enemy and puppets.
Where these watches come from can only be kept privately after being seized. As far as Wang Guangyu knows, before the battle last summer, the Japanese army ordered a batch of military watches from Germany to make up for the gap in the performance of domestic watches. In addition to the navy and In addition to the communications corps, the Kwantung Army, as a key force, is the priority rationing unit. It goes without saying the origin of those German military watches held by the cadres of the first division.
Although the price of Inger watches is more expensive than Japanese watches, they are standard equipment for middle and high-level officers of the Japanese army. Moreover, puppet Manchukuo officials also wear such watches as long as their families are richer. During the battle, the troops seized a considerable number of them. There are many, and this kind of watches are sold in shops in major cities. Most of the watches equipped by the headquarters to cadres at division level and above are also this kind of watches.
However, these German military watches cannot be seen on the market. Among the Japanese army, they are only distributed to senior commanders at the division level, senior combat staff officers, and technical arms such as aviation. The source of these German military watches is, Apart from the seizure, you can't even buy it if you want to.
The source of these German watches can only be the foreign wealth made by the First Division troops after the end of the battle last year. You must know that even the headquarters does not have many of these German watches, and several heads of the headquarters also carry ordinary Swiss watches. It's just a watch, but it's not a popular product like Ingels, but a higher-end Genie watch.
The Rolex watch on my wrist, which is more advanced than the captured Japanese Citizen watch or even the Inger watch, was not given to me by the former commander of the First Division when he was transferred after the battle last year. If this watch was If you use his subsidy to buy it, I'm afraid he won't be able to afford it without food or drink in this life. If it wasn't seized, where would he get it?
Thinking of this, Wang Guangyu could only shake his head and smile bitterly. When some problems have become a habit, it will be difficult to change them. Fortunately, the troops have made foreign fortunes, and the things left behind privately are allowed according to the regulations of their superiors. Materials handled by the division itself.
Moreover, the watches issued by the headquarters to the troops, in addition to aviation, armor, artillery, communications and other technical arms, the general infantry troops are only distributed to the regiment level and combat staff officers at all levels. Watches are not distributed below the battalion level. , but the troops are allowed to distribute them themselves after they are captured on the battlefield. Now each of the cadres at the company and above level of the first division has a watch. If they did not make a fortune on the battlefield, where else could it come from.
No one dared to buy and sell these supplies, and all the supplies were replenished to the troops. Therefore, the headquarters turned a blind eye to the phenomenon of troops making a fortune after the battle, as long as it did not violate the principles and superiors The bottom line is that as long as these materials are urgently needed by the troops and used in combat, they will generally not be held accountable.
