Zhang Huzi and Xu Zhiqin looked at each other and were shocked.
They are all old subordinates of Zhao Changshu. Naturally, they know that this unit, formerly the Provincial Party Headquarters Guard, has only been established for more than a year, but its tactical level and the quality of its officers and soldiers have far exceeded theirs.
of troops.
And they also knew the relationship between Zhou Wen and Zhao Changshu, so they didn't resist Zhao Changshu asking the teaching team to train them. After all, his performance in training was indeed much better than his own troops, and he was very interested in the newly equipped semi-automatic rifles and Schneider infantry.
People have long been familiar with the artillery, so it is acceptable to instruct their subordinates to become familiar with it as soon as possible.
But as a soldier, I am always a little unconvinced. I just think that because others are richer and have better training and equipment than me, I can keep up as long as I train hard for a period of time.
Moreover, they still have abilities that they are proud of, namely battlefield experience and experience.
Think about how long you have been in the army, how can you be compared to veterans like us who have fought countless battles? No matter how good you are in training, when you go to the real battlefield, bullets are flying above your head and in your crotch.
If a grenade is running around, you are a man if you don't wet your pants in fear.
Therefore, even if they heard that this army had been to the Songhu battlefield some time ago, they were quite dissatisfied. They had not seen a few injured people. It was obvious that they had participated in battles of any scale, and they might even have been with the army.
The veterans of the 19th Route Army who had fought their way through the mountains of corpses and blood for many years shouted a few words and fired a few shots from behind.
Sometimes during training, the officers under Zhang Huzi used this to tease the instructors in the training corps. They just smiled shyly and accepted it without arguing.
When I heard what Zhao Changshu said today, you can imagine the shock in my heart.
They didn't think that their brigade commander would exaggerate. They knew Zhao Changshu's character well, so it was true.
Zhang Huzi thought to himself: "Hey, darling, these people are well hidden. Who doesn't know how powerful Little Japan is? Otherwise, there wouldn't be hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops. They wouldn't even dare to let go of a single thing, but they would be chased away by others."
They were driven out of the Northeast like ducks. Who would have thought that a bunch of hairless babies could just kill thousands of them without saying a word."
Xu Zhiqin was thinking: "What a biting dog that doesn't bark! Not only are the young people formidable, but they are also so sinister. We train together every day, but we don't know that it is this group of people that has caused a big loss to Little Japan. Then
It is even more impossible for the Japanese to know. No wonder these officers and soldiers never talk, it turns out they want to keep it secret. Hehe! When we go to the battlefield again, I don’t know how many unlucky Japanese will be killed by these small coins."
The two of them had different ideas, but they unconsciously respected the group of young officers in front of them. Just kidding, as long as you are a conscientious Chinese soldier in these days, who would not feel suffocated in the face of the aggressive little Japanese who repeatedly bully China?
Are you aggrieved? Who doesn’t want to teach these extremely arrogant Japanese devils a harsh lesson?
However, as a mid-level military officer who has a clear understanding of the current power gap between China and Japan, I know that these can only be my own wishful thinking and a way to vent my dissatisfaction. The thought of competing with the people who have been hated in the hearts of the Republic of China for decades
They were also afraid of the Japanese invaders going to war. Both soldiers and civilians were inherently weak psychologically.
This is not to belittle oneself, but China's century-old history of humiliation in modern times and countless disasters that have befallen this nation have caused the Chinese people to be oppressed and afraid, and also oppressed to the point of numbness. Whether they are Easterners or Westerners, in the hearts of most Chinese people
They belong to an insurmountable gap and are people from another world.
Therefore, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, the government of the Republic of China has always been on the weak side in its interactions with these powerful countries. Once disputes and conflicts arise with any country, China will always be the one to give in and compromise, and this kind of
This sad phenomenon has become a psychological habit of the government, military and people.
That's why Zhang Huzi and Xu Zhiqin have spontaneous respect for Zhou Wen and the others. Others have done what they thought they couldn't do or didn't have the courage to do. And although their military skills are indeed stronger than theirs, they are not that powerful.
It's beyond their reach. Since they can defeat Japan, maybe they can do the same.
Several Jin army officers looked at each other, and saw excitement and confidence in each other's eyes.
Zhou Wen did not expect that the effect of Zhao Changshu's reprimand was actually quite good. At least in the subsequent training and combat, these Jin army officers would be more friendly and convincing towards the mercenary group.
Sure enough, Xu Zhiqin, who had never expressed his stance actively, asked: "Captain Zhou, please forgive me for being superficial. I didn't expect that the teaching corps was an anti-Japanese hero on the Songhu battlefield. After spending several months together, he didn't even know the true face of Lushan. It's shocking.
So shameful!"
Zhang Huzi said loudly: "Captain Zhou, as well as all the brothers in the teaching corps, in my eyes, anyone who dares to fight with the little devil with real swords and guns is a hero, and he is my Zhang Huzi's friend and comrade-in-arms."
.You can rest assured that from now on, in our Second Regiment, anyone who dares to disobey training or obey orders will be severely punished."
In fact, Zhou Wen knew that the joint training between the mercenary group and the model brigade was generally good. After all, in the army, who is good and who is bad is not something you can just say. A walk on the training ground will show you all your abilities.
.
There is still a big gap between the officers and soldiers of the model brigade and the mercenary group in terms of officer quality and individual soldier skills. There is not much resistance to joint training, but the middle and low-level officers of the Jin army seem to be older than themselves.
When I was young, officers and soldiers with lower military ranks than me came to serve as instructors, which made me feel more or less uncomfortable.
Zhao Changshu looked at the statements of his two generals. Although he was satisfied, his expression did not soften. He said seriously: "The matter of teaching the regiment to participate in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War must be kept strictly confidential. After the Japanese suffered heavy losses in Shanghai, they launched all
Intelligence agencies are looking for traces of the Teaching Corps all over the world, and they still don’t know any details about the Teaching Corps.”
"I was forced to speak out today because of your uncooperative attitude. I have no choice but to say it out of trust for you. You cannot mention this matter to anyone after you leave the headquarters today, not even your family or wives.
,do you understand?"
The officers headed by Zhang Huzi and Xu Zhiqin immediately nodded in agreement.
"Now, I would like to ask Captain Zhou to continue analyzing the enemy's situation."
