It can be said that Zhang Yunfei spent a lot of money. Even now that life is better, most of the main troops are reluctant to do live ammunition shooting.

Recruits can only experience the feeling of guns on the battlefield. There is no other way. Every bullet is very precious and it is impossible for recruits to practice with live ammunition.

The reason why Zhang Yunfei spent a lot of money to train these militia backbones is because these people are all kindred spirits. When developing troops, the Eighth Route Army always leads the new with the old, with the veterans teaching the new recruits various skills and battlefield experience.

One of the tasks of the local cadre regiments of the Eighth Route Army is to develop and expand the team. However, as the situation changes, the various units of the Eighth Route Army gradually become regularized.

The militia is no better than the cadre regiment. It has no hematopoietic function and cannot train qualified soldiers.

You must know that the Eighth Route Army's basic regiments and guerrillas were formed as the backbone of the main force or were trained by long-term battles with the Japanese and puppet troops.

Zhang Yunfei's New Ninth Regiment belongs to the latter, and the current militiamen no longer have these two conditions, so Zhang Yunfei has to create some backbones among them. Even if they are a bit fake and do not have the rich experience of the veteran backbone, they must

It is still necessary to possess the necessary military knowledge. Although it is a cramming method, even if it is not quick, it will be spent. It can teach the new recruits to some extent and enhance their own hematopoietic function.

Although they feel bad about consuming ammunition, this expenditure is necessary. Fortunately, what they consume are reloaded bullets, and these bullet casings can be collected and handed over to be exchanged for some bullets, and some losses can be stopped.

After the round of militia training, although the consumption was a bit high, the results were remarkable. The quality of the militiamen in the entire Xincheng area, as well as their technical and tactical levels, have been greatly improved. At least on the surface, they are already in good shape.

.

Waiting for the end of the training, these militia cadres and backbones took the weapons and ammunition issued to them as commendations and rewards, carrying their weapons home, both precious and painful.

This training will be unforgettable for their entire lives. At this time, they were so tired that they could hardly stand up straight. At this time, Zhang Yunfei also gave them weapons and rifles as rewards, which was a bit of a loss.

Normally, they would have been so happy that they could jump up to eight feet high. But now, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, with the added weight of a gun, they were all pumping, but they were so precious that they couldn't bear to leave their hands.

, his face looked a little strange, he seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time.

Seeing the backbone of the militiamen leaving with relief on their faces, Qian Deming said to Zhang Yunfei: "Aren't you being too harsh on them by holding them so tightly? You have to eat in one bite, and no one can expect to eat a fat man in one sitting.

, Captain, your original intention is good, but I'm afraid it's too much, and I think we still have to do it bit by bit. After all, they are not soldiers in the army, so if you do it too hard, I'm worried that something will go wrong.

"

Zhang Yunfei understood Qian Deming's ideas very well. Political work emphasizes step-by-step, especially work with the people, which requires even more patience.

Zhang Yunfei's style is a bit contrary to his ideals and is too eager.

Zhang Yunfei was not surprised that he had such bookish thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Political commissars are useless and useless. If we don't force them, how can we hand over a squad, a platoon, or even a company of soldiers in the future?"

them?"

"According to the current situation, it is not impossible for us to be transferred to fight in Hebei, Shandong, Henan or Taiyue District. They may fill the gap we left at any time, but they are far from qualified as they are now."

"We have been fighting this war for more than seven years. In these seven years, we have lost a lot of money because some grassroots commanders in the army are not of high quality and have failed to make decisions that should be made and made blind decisions that should not be made.

blood?"

"Our side is better. At least we have learned lessons and can make corrections in a short period of time. But on the Kuomintang side, they paid a higher price, but they have the Central Military Academy, which can continuously replenish qualified officers.

But our troops are basically promoted from level to level."

"There is really nothing to say about the fact that we have rich practical combat experience. But when it comes to other things, not only compared with the Japanese, but also compared with those over there, there is a big difference. There are a few grassroots commanders who can understand the map.

, there are a few people who know what a horizontal line is, and a compass, but many people can’t understand it.”

"There are many company and platoon commanders in our team. If they are given a telescope, they don't know what to see other than looking at the diorama!"

Zhang Yunfei shook his head and smiled bitterly. Most of the grassroots cadres now let him command mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. With his many years of combat experience, he can still handle it and is even very good at it.

But in the future, when large groups fight, the fighting methods will be completely different, and most of the experience will not count. What will we do then?

"The devils call us the Eighth Route Army, and they call us mud-legged people over there, but we cannot regard ourselves as soil and be arrogant and complacent. Sooner or later we will have to walk out of the mountains, march to the plains and cities, and carry out large-scale corps operations. This will be a difficult problem to avoid.

As for the subject, it is true that large corps operations test the ability and level of senior commanders more, but the army is not only composed of commanders, the real executors are composed of countless squads, platoons and companies."

"Soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the soul of soldiers. If the quality of the people leading the troops is not good, how can this army have real combat effectiveness? Old money, on the battlefield it is not just about being brave and not being shot to death."

"Battles are all based on experience, but experience has too many limitations and is not correct in every situation. There are many wonderful company and platoon leaders who can't even deploy machine guns, and the use of firepower is even more confusing.

When you go to the battlefield, you know how to fight where there are many people. This is not a good job. People like them will take on more command positions. How can they do it without polishing it and how can they shoulder more burdens."

"Captain, what you said is not unreasonable, but everyone grows up. The foundation of our cadres is a bit poor, but they are good at learning and summarizing, and they are always making progress. Take you, Commander, for example. Now

I have a profound understanding of war." Qian Deming said with an admiring smile.

Qian Deming admired Zhang Yunfei's theoretical insights from the bottom of his heart.

In his opinion, Zhang Yunfei not only has very strong military command capabilities, but he is also able to sum up his own theory at the sub-level and has extraordinary knowledge.

Qian Deming is familiar with Zhang Yunfei's archival information and personal experience. Because of this, it is even more valuable and worthy of admiration.

Zhang Yunfei "..."

Zhang Yunfei was choked up when Qian Deming said this. He didn't know what to say. He was talking about the quality of grassroots cadres that could not keep up. He was equivalent to saying, "Didn't you come here the same way? Isn't it pretty good now? Analysis"
