"So, after understanding this, will Commander Tang still order such troops to fight the enemy?"
Zhou Wen's last question made Tang Youbai fall silent. He was not a troublesome person, but he was usually arrogant. Seeing that Zhou Wen was a major general and a member of the Blue Sky and White Sun Order at such a young age, he was just jealous. Now he is also
I know that I am ignorant and don't know about this kind of unheard-of special operations.
Even if he insists on speaking harshly and talking about military law on the battlefield, the surrounding generals will only laugh at him.
You don’t even think about how much such a soldier costs each year and how much it will cost in a few years. What’s more, if you don’t choose the right person, you may not be able to train him even if you are willing to spend the money.
This kind of precious soldier king is a treasure among treasures in ordinary troops. If you use it to exchange lives with the enemy, only a mentally retarded person can do it.
These generals are all veterans with rich battlefield experience. Maybe they still don't understand the modes and tactics of special operations, but the role of this elite small unit has become somewhat clear.
Regardless of their small number, this kind of special unit can change the direction of a battle or campaign if used in the right direction. It is simply the trump card that every general in charge dreams of.
Thinking of this, many people unconsciously glanced at Chief Qian, with some vague guesses in their hearts.
At that time, Chief Qian was invincible in the Central Plains War, probably because he had Zhou Wen as his trump card.
No wonder that with his status as a high-ranking general, he did not hesitate to bend over backwards to become a brother-in-law with a small officer with a background of bandits.
What the hell, if I had known how powerful this kind of special operations was, I would have been willing to call him dad as long as it could help my troops win.
Even if these generals know that it is no longer possible to recruit this unit under their command, if there is an opportunity to cooperate with this unit, I am afraid it will bring huge benefits.
No wonder Chief Qian, Chief Zhang, Chief Gu, as well as General Shang Zheng and General Song Mingyuan who participated in the Great Wall War, all became friends with this boy, and it turned out that they all enjoyed the benefits.
Zhou Wen couldn't guess what these generals were thinking. He wanted to use this explanation to make the principal understand how difficult it is to train such a force, and stop asking him to help the National Army.
Training is such a dilemma.
But he never thought that his explanation would make the generals present warm up and look at him with eager eyes. It actually made Zhou Wen's body goosebumps.
These generals were thinking about how to get in touch with the major general first. Although it was a little late to burn incense now, who could say that there would be no chance of cooperation in the future?
These generals all know that there will be a war between China and Japan in the future. By then, it will not be a petty local war like the current Great Wall War, but a national war in which both sides will devote all their efforts.
This kind of unprecedented scale of national war will inevitably be protracted and cruel and fierce. No one can guarantee that he will win or survive. On the battlefield, more friends means more paths, and it may still be a way to survive.
.
Therefore, after they thought clearly about the power of this army, they suddenly changed from their previous thoughts of contempt, jealousy, disdain, resentment, etc., and began to think about how to get closer and form a relationship.
good karma.
Just when all the generals were thinking about their own thoughts, General Chen's voice with a strong Zhejiang accent sounded again.
"Major General Zhou, I feel that relying solely on the superior military qualities and skills of your officers and soldiers, as well as the outstanding command ability of your officer team, Major General Zhou, it may still be difficult for you to be able to discern opportunities in every battle on the battlefield.
You must know that manpower is sometimes scarce and it is impossible to cover everything.”
"The battlefield situation is complex and ever-changing. Even if you can detect the enemy's movements through latent reconnaissance and other means, the transmission of battlefield information must be fast and timely."
"And I have discovered that you spend most of your time fighting on the outside, with small squads scattered around and large units behind. After grasping the enemy's movements, you must make deployments and concentrate the units in a short time.
, we also need to preset the battlefield and deploy various positions.”
"I just want to know, how do you achieve the rapid transmission of battlefield information when the fighter planes are fleeting? Is it possible that each of your small units is equipped with radio soldiers? So what about these radio soldiers with average military skills?
How can we follow the reconnaissance force to complete such a difficult latent reconnaissance mission?"
Zhou Wen couldn't help but admire Admiral Chen in his heart. The number one commander under the principal was worthy of the title of master tactician, and he discovered something strange about the mercenary group's information transmission.
You know, from the perspective of future generations, there is nothing surprising about the rapid transmission of information on the battlefield.
Modern communication equipment such as satellite phones, walkie-talkies, walkie-talkies, radios, and even mobile phones can transmit information to all directions in a timely manner, and even battlefield information can be transmitted to every soldier within a few seconds.
But now is the period of the Republic of China. Most of the military's information transmission is mainly completed through manpower. Only units above the brigade level may be equipped with radio stations, and the information between the five front-line combat units of regiment, battalion, company, platoon and squad is
Communication can only be conveyed by a type of soldier called a messenger.
Some people may ask, aren’t there still wired telephones?
The actual situation is that before the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, only the German weapons divisions of the Central Army could basically assemble telephones to battalion-level units. In most cases, they had to face telephone lines being blown up at any time and had to rely on messengers.
Braving a hail of bullets to convey orders.
At the company level and platoon level, orders can only be conveyed by people.
Even the Japanese army, which ranked first in Asia, only equipped radio stations at the brigade level, and other units could only rely on messengers and flag carriers to convey information.
Therefore, when there are many unexpected situations and changes on the battlefield, especially when fighters that are beneficial to one's own side appear or when a major crisis occurs, often due to the delay in transmitting battlefield information in a timely manner, the opportunity for victory is often missed or failure occurs.
In most battles, the mercenary group relies on the convenience brought by the six intercoms brought by Zhou Wen's time travel, and can basically achieve the rapid transmission of battlefield information. This is the reason why the mercenary group in most cases, when the enemy situation
When it appears, the key is to be able to make various deployments and battle preparations early.
However, there were several times where crises almost occurred due to insufficient information on the battlefield.
