The commanders of the four legions were the reserve talents that Su Dao had selected long ago. When Su Dao decided to form four legions, he immediately reported the news back to the military headquarters, and passed the news through Wu Zhongguo. Distributed to various troops.
The commander-in-chief of the first army is Qin Yu, a soldier of the third battalion. He was a second lieutenant platoon leader at the earliest. After Su Dao took over the third battalion, he was known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness. There were very few Japanese troops who fought with him. There was someone who could escape unscathed. Even when retreating, Qin Yu would order his troops to come up and bite him hard.
As for the prisoners, Qin Yu always had the fewest prisoners in the army. Although Su Dao made repeated orders to capture as many prisoners as possible before they took the initiative to attack, after witnessing with his own eyes several prisoners who had clearly surrendered, But he fired a grenade he got from nowhere, killing and injuring one of his own soldiers.
After that, Qin Yu ordered his troops to kill him as much as possible without leaving him alive, so as to prevent the little devil from giving up and causing them some trouble in the future. In the original Battle of Jinzhou, during the massacre of Japanese prisoners of the two divisions, Qin Yu's brigade fought the hardest and killed the most prisoners.
Dare to fight and work hard, have a certain mind, be bold and careful in doing things, although cruel, but only for the right person; this is Su Dao's evaluation of Qin Yu, and it is also the second cultivable talent in Su Dao's eyes. This time The army was formed, and the rest naturally served as the commander-in-chief of the first army.
This is also Su Dao preparing for the future. Otherwise, the name of the First Legion will belong to the current Second Legion. After all, they are the only ones who have taken the initiative so far and are responsible for the task of annihilating the Kwantung Army. Judging from the entire battlefield situation, the strategic focus of the 99th Army is on the Second Army, but only a few people know that the real center of gravity of the 99th Army is still on the First Army.
The Second Army's side is just a small fight before the war begins. After the Second Army's side is settled, the First Army's side will begin to exert force. At the same time, the second wave of large-scale offensives in this battle will also begin. The last wave of super large-scale offensive.
According to the plan. After completing its mission, the First Army will join the Third Army to join the First Army. Then nearly half a million soldiers from the three legions will enter the border to fight against the Japanese army's main force of one million. So now it seems that the First Army The location is particularly important. Before the Second Legion completes its mission, there is no room for any mistakes here.
Li Chengxuan, commander-in-chief of the Second Army Corps. This man is young, he has just turned twenty-three this year. He has been in the army for five years and was born in the Third Battalion. Su Dao was just an ordinary soldier when he took over the Third Battalion. Later, he served as squad leader because the troops suffered too much damage. During the second attack on Huishan Pier, he was the first to lead his squad into the pier. He also led his brothers to fight against the Japanese army and helped the troops destroy nearly ten machine gun and bunker positions.
Therefore, Li Chengxuan was promoted to second lieutenant platoon leader and joined the military academy. Of course, this military academy existed when Su Dao took over the third battalion. It's just a small scale and not formal at all. In many cases, it was the battalion commander or several company commanders who took turns explaining combat knowledge to them every night, or taught them some during the march.
After being promoted to second lieutenant, Li Chengxuan's military career seemed to have ushered in a new spring. He had been a soldier for three years before, but before Su Dao took over, he was just an ordinary soldier, not even a squad leader, and Su Dao took over. In just a few months, he was promoted to squad leader and second lieutenant platoon leader.
In several subsequent battles, both large and small, Li Chengxuan showed his heroic combat style and terrifying combat acumen. Each time, he was able to lead his troops to run the fastest at the minimum cost. He ranked first in many battles. They were all captured by Li Chengxuan's troops.
After the Battle of Lanfeng, Li Chengxuan was promoted to colonel and brigade commander. After the expansion of the army in the Northeast, he was also promoted to major general and division commander. This man's skills are not very good. When facing a Japanese soldier alone, it is difficult for people to think that he will win. However, he is a smart general. When he leads a group of soldiers, he is often twice as strong as his own. No enemy is their match.
Su Dao took a fancy to this aspect of him, so he made an exception and included him in his talent reserve sequence, because before him, there were many platoon leaders or squad leaders from the third battalion who had not yet been included in his talent pool. Of course, perhaps due to comprehensive considerations, Su Dao felt that they were not suitable for the time being.
In short, Li Chengxuan is the kind of person who can kill you if you are alone, and can kill you if you give him a squad of soldiers. He is quite experienced in condensing the combat effectiveness of the army, and he is also the person Su Dao has the highest hopes for. A reserve general.
Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army Yao Qian, this person was the one who brought supplies to the army when Su Dao was in Lucheng for the first time.He was a talented person. Later, after many wars, this person's ability gradually emerged. He stood out in one fell swoop and directly entered Su Dao's eyes from tens of thousands of soldiers.
The reason why Yao Qian was able to get into Su Dao's eyes was that he had a certain chance. At that time, they were on the defense line. Yao Qian was a platoon leader. At that time, their platoon was responsible for the main attack mission on the front line, and the other two platoons were responsible for Auxiliary attack. And that time it happened that the Japanese army, for some unknown reason, mistook a unit assisting their platoon as the main attacking force and carried out a vigorous interception.
Just when the platoon was about to be unable to withstand it and fall short, Yao Qian led his platoon to give up their mission, merged the troops with friendly forces, and jointly broke through the Japanese defensive positions, thus forcing the Japanese to completely move the defense line. Retreat. It was precisely because of Yao Qian's change that the secret of the Japanese army's use of poison gas bombs was later discovered, which helped the 99th Army save its life.
This person is eclectic and very helpful. When his comrades need him, he will quickly make a decision to see which side can achieve more fruitful results while minimizing the losses of his own troops. Changing strategies when the situation arises, even giving up on one's own tasks, and completing one's own tasks indirectly by helping others. This is Su Dao's evaluation of Yao Qian.
This is also the reason why Su Dao later made Yao Qian the commander-in-chief of the Third Army.
As for the Fourth Legion, this needs no introduction. The commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army is Liu Sanpao, the founding hero who followed Su Dao from the earliest days. It has three divisions under its jurisdiction, namely the 766th, 767th and 768th divisions within the 99th Army.
Among the four legions, the third legion is the weakest, the fourth legion has the best training, and the first and second legions have the strongest combat effectiveness. It can be said that Su Dao now has the most basic frame in his hands. , the entire army can be regarded as a complete combat force, as long as it operates properly. It can still cause a devastating blow to the enemy.
"Is it appropriate to start fighting now? The Japanese have not yet made a final reply, and the Kwantung Army's performance is considered okay, and there is no sign of fighting." Wu Zhongguo walked to Su Dao , said with slightly heavy words.
Whether to fight or not to fight is a matter of words, as long as they use their words, but the consequences are difficult to predict. Once the fighting starts, I don't know how many soldiers will be buried here, how many parents will lose their children, and how many people will be displaced.
When Su Dao sent the ultimatum to the Japanese, Wu Zhongguo still hoped that the Japanese would agree. After all, this was on his own land. He now also has the ability to inflict a heavy blow to the Japanese, but China has been fighting for so many years. The country is already in a state of devastation and hundreds of industries are waiting to be prospered. If the fight continues like this. It is estimated that it will return to the pre-Qing Dynasty period.
Therefore, Wu Zhongguo still has some objections to the start of the war. The development of Jinxi City in the past few months has been rapid. There are huge changes every day. The Jinxi government's monthly tax revenue has basically doubled, and various factories and shops are popping up in endlessly. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the farmers farm with peace of mind. Subconsciously, Wu Zhongguo still doesn't want this. Everything is destroyed.
"Of course it's appropriate. The Japanese troops in the Kwantung Pass have already started taking action and are constantly moving troops to the front line. Fighting has already started over there. If we don't fight here, I'm afraid the Kwantung Army will take the lead. I know what you're worried about. , I am also worried, but this is a war, if we want to gain something, we must be mentally prepared to lose something else." Su Dao nodded and affirmed.
"Hey, I just feel that we have worked so hard to develop this place like this. It would be a pity to destroy it." Wu Zhongguo sighed and shook his head.
"Who said we are going to destroy this place? We are fighting a war and destroying places that have not been developed and constructed by us. These cities that are already in our hands, the Japanese still want to come in and destroy them? Unless they are all geniuses. Take care of Auntie, otherwise it will be impossible." Su Dao glanced at her and said disdainfully.
Emotions Wu Zhongguo still doesn't believe in his own strength, thinking that as soon as the war starts, the Japanese may attack Jinxi, and then the results of their hard work and construction will be ruined again. This battle must be fought. Regardless of whether the Japanese have the ability to fight Jinxi or not, Su Dao will fight. The country will perish and he cannot sit idly by. If the country wants to drive away the invaders, it must be prepared to lose everything.
Although he has already planned to leave, deep down in his heart, he still wants to make his last contribution to this country, so that he can get rid of the war as soon as possible and embark on the path of peaceful development.
"Hey, in a war, anything can happen, so we can't be too optimistic." Wu Zhongguo was speechless.He replied, but there was nothing he could do. He really couldn't find any reason to refute Su Dao's words. Before the war, he couldn't kill his own people's ambition first. This would be too fucked up.
"Okay, you greet me first. I'm going to the dock. The new warship is almost here. I guess these guys are rushing to deliver the warship at night. I really don't understand. Every time they send it, they throw it at the dock. Just leave, I don't even have a chance to treat them to a meal." Su Dao laughed, stood up, shook his hands, patted his butt, and said to himself.
Xuanjie went out directly, boarded the truck and drove towards the dock. The Japanese Navy will definitely join the war next, and Su Dao is also wondering whether he will build two more warships this time? In order to avoid being bullied by the little devils when the time comes, your own people will suffer a loss. As for the aircraft carrier, let¡¯s wait a little longer. The time is not yet ripe.
The total number of warships is only a few. Most of the first warships were temporarily scrapped and were left to be repaired by a group of strange shipwrights. God knows when it will be repaired. If they had waited for them, Su Dao would have been destroyed long ago. At least you can't count on it now. (To be continued.)
