Xu Rui nodded and said: "Lao He, what you said makes sense. If it were any other time, I would have done what you said. I don't care what you did before joining the army, and I won't
To give you time to adapt psychologically, I will directly drag you to the battlefield for a battle. When the battle is over, those who are unqualified will have been teased, and the rest will be qualified. This may be a bit cruel, but for
For a country and a nation, the cost is minimal."
Xu Rui is telling the truth. In this regard, it is not China but the Soviet Union that has done the most excessive things.
Take the most brutal Battle of Moscow in World War II as an example. Due to the serious lack of preparations of the Soviet Red Army before the war, it was defeated by the German blitzkrieg and lost more than five million troops. This directly led to the lack of troops in the Battle of Moscow. In order to block the German offensive,
The Soviet government urgently recruited millions of young people from the rear. These young people had no training at all and had not even touched a gun. They were driven directly into the ruins of the war in Moscow.
In the end, no more than 10% of these young people could survive the war!
But it was the 10% of young people who survived who quickly grew into elite veterans, supporting the backbone of the Slavic nation during the most difficult moments of the Soviet Union!
Xu Rui would have done the same at any other time.
But now, Xu Rui absolutely cannot do this.
Because Feicheng has been trapped in a tight siege, and Xu Rui's troops are limited!
If these precious troops are consumed in cruel natural elimination, then how should we fight the next battle to defend Feicheng? Who else can we rely on to defend Feicheng?
At that moment Xu Rui said: "But, Lao He, I can't do this now. If I do what you said now, no matter what, I will send these new recruits to the battlefield to fight first, then it will be completely
It is conceivable that after a battle, it would be considered good if only one of the ten recruits survives."
He Guangming was silent again. In fact, he felt that what Xu Rui said was conservative.
If these new recruits from the Wanzhong Advance Brigade were sent to the battlefield now, it would be a blessing if more than five of the one hundred recruits survived the battle.
Xu Rui added: "So I can't do this because our troops are limited."
He Guangming said: "Then what are you going to do? Is it possible that you can train all these ignorant recruits into veterans in just a few days? Is this possible?"
Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "It is of course impossible to train these new recruits to become veterans in a few days, but it is still possible to help them get rid of their peasant status and let them spiritually accept the warrior status. As long as these new recruits are
By spiritually accepting the position of a warrior, their combat effectiveness will be essentially improved!"
There are many precedents in history for transforming farmers from a spiritual perspective, or brainwashing them.
Among them, the most successful one was Han Xin. In the battle of Jingxing, Han Xin only had 30,000 ragtag troops against 200,000 Zhao troops. He relied on mental brainwashing.
Han Xin ordered 30,000 peasants to form a defensive formation. When the 200,000 Zhao army came from the front, the 30,000 peasant soldiers burst out with strong spiritual belief in order to survive. This strong spiritual belief was transformed into combat effectiveness, and finally helped them defeat
He defeated 200,000 Zhao troops. This was a last-ditch battle that will go down in history!
This is no longer the age of cold weapons, and it is no longer advisable to form an alliance against the enemy.
However, Han Xin's method of spiritually transforming farmers can be used for reference.
What Han Xin inspired was the belief of 30,000 farmers to survive, but what Xu Rui is doing now is more complicated and more difficult than Han Xin. Xu Rui must first transform these recruits from the national and national levels, so that
They identify with the nation-state and then inspire them to fight for the country and the nation.
Although Xu Rui's mental transformation is more difficult, if the transformation is successful, the effect will be better!
Xu Rui has reason to believe that if these new recruits are successfully transformed, their combat effectiveness will not be lost to the veterans of the independent regiment.
Because history has fully proved that it is not just weapons and equipment that affect the combat effectiveness of an army, nor is it just training level, but also spiritual strength!
"Accept the position of a soldier spiritually?" He Guangming didn't quite understand what he heard, but he could understand the basic meaning. He shook his head and said, "Is it possible? Just one broadcast by Chairman Chiang can make these farmers spiritually
To become a warrior on a level level? If Chairman Chiang was really that powerful, he would not lose most of China."
"Chairman Chiang's radio speech alone is definitely not enough, far from enough." Xu Rui said, "So we have to think of more ways to help these new recruits and make them accept the position of soldiers from a spiritual level.
It makes them more courageous and aggressive when facing the little devils."
"Then what are you going to do? Are you going to educate them in the style of the Complaint Movement?" He Guangming was born in the Northwest Army. Although he has not directly fought with the Red Army, he has heard many deeds of the Red Army, so he knows about the "Complaint Movement"
This is the Red Army's trump card against the National Army, and he added, "But the political commissar is not here now?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Old He, you will know soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sai Hongfu walked in from the door and said excitedly: "I just received a telegram from the Central News Agency. In response to the battlefield voice of our Dameishan Radio Station, the Central Radio Station also urgently produced a program.
Called Letters from the Home Front, the program not only interviewed a large number of citizens and brought various messages to the frontline soldiers, but they also found the mothers of two officers and soldiers who had something to say to their sons."
"Immediately connect the signal from the Central Broadcasting Station, and then summon all the officers and soldiers of the Central Anhui Advance Brigade to the square!" After Xu Rui finished speaking, he turned to Lei Xiang and ordered, "Leizi, lead the security platoon to do a good job in security, especially in various areas.
Make some noise in the direction, and don't let the little Japanese artillery follow the sound to find the broadcast."
"clear!"
"yes!"
Sai Hongfu and Lei Xiang agreed and went separately.
Xu Rui turned back to He Guangming and said: "Old He, let's go and have a look with me. If everything goes well, your 1st Battalion will receive the first batch of reinforcements tonight!"
(Dividing line)
Turn the time back to two hours ago, Jianghan Road, Wuhan.
An old woman with gray hair walked tremblingly in front of the gate of Ta Kung Newspaper. Although the old woman looked exhausted and was even too tired to stand still, her decent clothes and the face she faced could still be seen.
The calm demeanor on guard duty at the newspaper office still shows that she comes from a wealthy family and has seen the world.
The guard at the newspaper office was also a discerning man. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Old madam, who are you looking for?"
The old woman leaned on the iron fence of the gate and bent down to catch her breath for a moment, and then said: "I'm looking for your editor-in-chief. I heard that your Ta Kung Pao is collecting voices from the rear and sending messages to the anti-Japanese soldiers on the front line. I also have a few words here that I want to pass along.
For my son on the front line, I came here to ask your editor-in-chief if you could do me a favor?"
"No problem, no problem." The guard agreed and escorted the old woman into the gate. "Old lady, please come inside."
The guards have been instructed that all those who come to the newspaper office to send messages to the frontline anti-war soldiers are not allowed to be obstructed, and they must be politely invited in.
When the guard accompanied the old woman to the recording studio, there was already an old woman sitting inside.
In comparison, the old woman looked a little ragged, and the criss-crossing wrinkles on her face were full of suffering in life. At first glance, she had a miserable background.
At this moment, the old woman was holding the microphone and crying loudly: "Six pounds, six pounds, mother misses you, mother misses you, when will you come back, when will you come home, woo woo woo
…”
The old woman burst into tears, and the editorial girl squatted beside her and kept comforting her.
It took a long time for the old woman to finally stop crying and continued: "Liu Jin, mother is really reluctant to let you go to the battlefield, but the government said that if you don't go, they won't go, and our country will perish."
Come on, those little Japanese are going to invade Wuhan and harm the folks, so I can only send you away cruelly, so don’t blame my mother for being cruel."
"Liu Jin, don't worry about Mom. Mom is still strong. Moreover, the government just gave out fifty yuan, which they said was your bonus. They also said that if, if, if you are no longer here, they will pay you again.
With a pension of five hundred yuan, my mother will have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life. Don't worry, really don't worry..."
"Mom is just heartbroken. I don't know if I will ever see you get a wife, give birth to a boy again, and pass on the incense of our sixth family, wuwu..."
The six-pound mother was helped down by the editorial girl.
Another editorial girl came forward and helped the old woman who had just come in to the microphone, and asked: "Old lady, what do you want to say?"
The old woman straightened the bun on her head and said, "I just want to say a few words to my son."
The editorial girl immediately turned on the gramophone and said, "Old madam, tell us, we will record it for you."
"Shitou." The old woman just said her name, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Six years ago, you insisted on becoming a soldier. My mother didn't stop you. My mother also felt that a man should make a difference.
, you can’t die at home for the rest of your life, but do you know how my mother survived these years?”
"Every time I hear that your 88th Division is on the front line, I can't sleep all night long."
"Half a year ago, I heard that your 88th Division was completely wiped out in Nanjing, and your father immediately fell ill."
"Your father couldn't make it through after all. He left two months ago, and your little sister also left. If you walked with your father, you might as well have a companion on the road to hell."
At this point, two crystal tears finally slid down the old woman's cheeks quietly, and several editorial girls next to her also shed tears.
