Chapter 144: Battle to the Death(2/2)
The feeling of fighting to the end. Especially some senior military officials are not as vacillating as they were during the warlord melee. When I was in the southwest, I heard from a military academy instructor that General Zhang Xueliang was already replacing a group of officers who were not determined to resist the war. Generally speaking,
, I think the Northeast Army will perform differently this time."
The prince nodded, "Yes, the whole country is watching, and Zhang Xueliang has also made up his mind to fight to the death. At this time, whoever is disadvantaged in the war of resistance will be a national sinner. Even Zhang Xueliang must be careful of the mouths of these people."
"The times will create heroes." Chai Chun said with almost certainty. Even if there are some people in the Northeast Army who are afraid of death or who are disadvantaged in the war, more people will be forced by the times to fight to the death in Jinzhou.
, may become a reality.
"I hope so." Wang Gongliang talked some more about the upcoming war, and finally said a more important thing, "In the morning combat meeting, General Zhang Xueliang mentioned the instructor team and the recruit team. If there is
Instructors of the Instructor Corps who want to go to the front can report to the following first-line Northeastern Army companies and serve as company deputy or platoon leader. Those who don’t want to go now are welcome. If the war does not go well, they must be ready to take the recruits directly to the battlefield.
preparation."
Many instructors discussed one after another, and some decided to serve as company deputy, after all, this way they could go to the battlefield earlier. After all, Chai Chun came late, and in the end, the arrangement was made, and he stayed in the instructor team to continue training new recruits, because some instructors went to the first-line company
, and there were too many new recruits who joined the army to fight against Japan. Zhang Xueliang refused to accept anyone who came. As a result, there was a serious shortage of training instructors. He would directly serve as the chief instructor of a recruit battalion.
In the next half month, the Japanese did not launch an attack, but continued to mobilize troops from the rear. There were more and more Japanese fighter planes flying over the entire Jinzhou defense line. Chai Chun seized every day and personally trained his men.
A new recruit camp is coming.
What pleased him was that almost all of these new recruits were young anti-Japanese soldiers who had joined the army and were full of enthusiasm. They had already undergone military drills, shooting and other training for half a month before he took over. All he needed to do next was to
In half a month, he taught them more things. He was also very satisfied with the training results. The only problem was that he was worried about the performance of these new recruits after they went to the battlefield.
He knew that this was not the southwest, and there would not be so much time to train the recruits in various military skills. He only asked everyone to do a few things in a specific way.
First of all, there are orders and prohibitions. Any recruit who violates this first rule will be subject to military law. Of course, military law is not to kill people, but to let the other party get laid and leave. At first, some people were not convinced by this recruit battalion commander, but gradually,
When some troublesome recruits cried and begged and were driven away, the recruits finally became more obedient. For those who are determined to serve the country, being driven away is even more cruel than being beaten with a military stick.
Then, Chai Chun conducted almost wasteful shooting training. Every day, he would not order the soldiers to stop shooting training until their hands were weak and their shoulders were in severe pain. At this time, the Northeast Army was not short of sons, and neither was he.
No scruples. Just like shooting training, it is grenade throwing training. He also has very strict requirements on this. Every day, soldiers practice to consolidate shooting in the morning and frantically train to throw grenades in the afternoon. In addition to these two enemy-killing skills,
In addition, he also selected a group of recruits from the recruit camp for training in stabbing. Most of these recruits were a bit brute, and carrying a batch of large knives that he specially sold, they were really more murderous than using bayonets.
Finally, he also paid special attention to training new recruits to defend against artillery and enemy fire. In general, the time was too short, and the training was focused on compactness and efficiency. What he had to do was to seize any remaining time and use it in these
New soldiers need to learn a few more things before going to the battlefield.
On February 24, 1932, the Japanese army, which had been prepared for a long time, finally launched an attack. The Air Force's fighter planes and division artillery were the first to show off their power. The entire sky above Jinzhou was enveloped by the rumbling sound of artillery and the screams of fighter planes. The Japanese army's
Heavy artillery and aviation bombs began to rain down like heavy rain, hitting the solid defense line outside Jinzhou City.
