Bad currency drives out good currency, which is a problem that China has never solved.
What is shown in shopping malls is that the products of profiteers can always seize the market with the help of bureaucrats or other illegal means.
On the battlefield, those who survive are always the first to flee, and those who are promoted always know how to deal with people and be resourceful.
If you look at history, you will find that whenever profiteers and people who know how to deal with others and are manipulative are rampant, the country will experience the baptism of blood and fire.
This has nothing to do with personal will, this is the objective law of history.
"Sir, we have contacted the advisory group."
During the break in the battle, Hansen Raul sent news from the command troops at the main position behind.
"Um"
Zhang Sixing, who was currently observing the battlefield with a telescope, responded casually.
There was only a little over 400 meters between the two armies, and the Japanese began to build fortifications.
However, Zhang Sixing's snipers performed very well. They kept firing cold shots. Japanese officers, communications soldiers, machine gunners, and grenade launchers were often killed by the opponent's attacks.
"Sir, if you really don't care that they don't let you be the principal, then you..."
"It doesn't matter. Let's go to Pinghu and set up our own military academy there. It will be more free... Don't worry, the chairman will not be happy. If we do that, the warlords from all walks of life will be so happy that they will laugh out of their dreams."
At that time, the warlords will definitely send some personnel to entrust training because of the battle at Sihang Warehouse. It will be like customizing employees for large companies in universities in the future.
Just imagine that any warlord can have a group of soldiers who meet the standards of future people's army non-commissioned officers...
They will be like fire, quickly improving the technical and tactical level of the entire army.
When the Chairman wants to control this military academy, the price he will pay will be more than a hundred times the current price.
"You...you are really thinking, but General Falkenhausen doesn't think so. He heard that we established a position to block the Japanese army, and he wanted us to create a teaching version of retreat."
Zhang Sixing, who is familiar with war history, knows that the teaching version of the so-called retreat is not the retreat of the Chinese army at this time.
For example, Manstein's retreat on the Eastern Front left the Soviet army bruised and swollen.
For example, the future Marshal Kesselring on the Western Front defeated the Allied forces in Italy.
Compared with attacking on the battlefield, retreat is a combat operation that is more difficult and requires more military command skills.
Military command is an art, which is the consistent understanding of the traditional German officer corps.
"Publish the teaching version..."
While observing the battlefield with a telescope, Zhang Sixing muttered to himself carelessly.
"Yes, that's what reading the telegram means. Sir, what is the teaching version of blocking warfare?"
"What we are doing right now is called the teaching version. We have people go to Lao Yandou's place and tell the general and others the news... Well, don't go, the position cannot be separated from you."
"Sir, you can't do this. Captain Qin's men have been here for a long time, and I haven't gotten to know them yet."
"hiss……"
Zhang Sixing, who didn't speak, just took a breath of cold air. Opposite Hansen Raul immediately stopped pressing.
"Okay, then when I retreat, I want to take the car from the VIP room, so don't stop me then."
This time Zhang Sixing did not stop Hansen Raul's excitement. He had his own problems to consider.
On the battlefield, the fundamental mission of a combat commander is to maximize the survival of one's troops and inflict maximum losses on the enemy.
As for whether it can be made into a teaching version, Zhang Sixing does not consider it. No matter what others think, this is what he thinks.
Now the Japanese's goal is obvious, and it is also in line with the lesson plan. When facing a strong position, it is necessary to establish a position and wait for backup.
What is the backup? Of course it is tanks, heavy artillery, bombers and other troops used to crack hard nuts.
Regardless of whether he wanted to fight a teaching version of the retreat, Zhang Sixing had to do something.
At present, those combat troops using box guns as their main force are huddled in single-man pits, unable to retreat without necessary cover.
But it doesn’t matter. A closed single-person foxhole protects soldiers better than trenches, whether under shelling or bombing, and the construction volume is small, which saves soldiers’ physical strength.
The only flaw is that there are no trenches leading to the rear, so supply and retreat are quite dangerous.
These foxholes and the natural slope behind the road connected to the river bank formed two field defense lines that could resist the Japanese attack to a certain extent.
There are two problems to be solved now. First, aerial reconnaissance is needed to determine the progress of the Japanese on both sides.
Of course, for him who has a tank, even if he is surrounded by Japanese soldiers on both sides, as long as he does not form a strong defense line, it will not be difficult to escape from the attack of tanks and armored vehicles, but it will definitely cause considerable losses.
Secondly, we must try to deal with the opponent's heavy artillery and get the baggage in place. War is all about logistics. Aircraft in the sky can resist to a certain extent, but heavy artillery on the ground is the biggest threat to defense.
I can also understand why General Falkenhausen asked him to fight a teaching version of the retreat battle.
At this moment, all the Chinese troops were in retreat, and the order they received was to regroup at the Suzhou line. Therefore, everyone was burying their heads and just escaping, without a unified and complete retreat plan.
On November 9, the retreat of frontline troops began, but the frontline was in such a critical condition that it was impossible to accept the consultant's step-by-step retreat recommendations. Given the command capabilities of the Chinese army at this time, it could neither accept nor implement it.
Therefore, the retreat from the Songhu Battle actually became an unplanned retreat. The large number of military and civilian casualties were also caused by those who did not or did not implement the retreat plan.
According to the information obtained by Hansen Lauer from the radio,
Falkenhausen put forward consultant suggestions twice in Jinling on November 8th and 11th. However, they were inconsistent. Some people even commented that these suggestions were not based on actual frontline operations.
In fact, the fundamental reason why these retreat plans cannot be implemented is the poor communication capabilities of the Chinese military and the face-painting behavior of officials who drive out good money for bad money.
Criticizing a foreign general's battle plan as unrealistic is more consistent with Du Yuesheng's phrase - "The past is explained on the scene" than criticizing senior generals headed by the Chairman of the Generalissimo for being mediocre and incompetent.
After all, the Chairman and the so-called "soldiers" around him are fighting against each other, fighting for power and profit. They are all good at fighting... If there are enough generals under the Chairman who know how to fight, how could they be driven to the island?
In fact, the root cause of the problem that has plagued China for nearly a thousand years is that bad money drives out good money—
A fair evaluation mechanism, a fair distribution mechanism, a fair reward and punishment mechanism are just laws.
The Chairman, who takes "rule by man" as his fundamental method, can't do this at all.
