Chapter 168 The arsenal in Chidong County!
"I'll say it again, if anyone doesn't treat the soldiers under my command as human beings, I, Zhou Weimin, will treat them as non-human beings."
"If anyone dares to use the soldiers under my command as cannon fodder, then I, Zhou Weimin, will use them as cannon fodder."
Zhou Weimin looked at Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Hu, and Xu Hu and spoke loudly.
Sun Hu's proposal made Zhou Weimin very angry.
Zhou Weimin has said more than once that we must cherish our soldiers and strive to minimize casualties.
The reason why Zhou Weimin equipped the troops with so many artillery pieces and machine guns was to reduce casualties.
But now the senior military officer that Zhou Weimin values most is also thinking of sacrificing soldiers in exchange for merit.
How could this not make Zhou Weimin angry and furious!
"I repeat the order again."
"The first regiment defended Chidong County, and the third regiment built positions outside the east and south gates of Chidong County to block the Japanese."
"The Guards Regiment set up positions outside the north and west gates of Chidong County to block the Japanese."
"Third Regiment, Guard Regiment, the position must be built with anti-aircraft defense and artillery tunnels."
"Xu Hu, your guard battalion will serve as the reserve force."
"Your mission is to hold off the Japanese 37th Division until nightfall, launch a counterattack at nine o'clock in the evening, and wipe out the Japanese 37th Division in one fell swoop."
......
Zhou Weimin looked at Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Hu, and Xu Hu and spoke loudly.
"Yes!" Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Hu, and Xu Hu stood up and saluted at the same time when they heard the words.
Then Zhou Weimin ignored Wu Qianli and the others, stood up, and strode out of the tent.
At this moment, Zhou Weimin's anger still persisted.
Zhou Weimin was going to inspect the military camp, so he did not let Xu Hu follow him.
After Zhou Weimin left.
Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Hu, and Xu Hu looked at each other.
Then Wang Dali said to Sun Hu beside him, "Why did you make the master angry?"
"Everyone in the Tiger Guard Division knows that the commander-in-chief is most concerned about the casualties of the troops."
"If you win a battle but suffer heavy casualties, the division commander will definitely not look favorably upon you."
"But if you consume a lot of ammunition but suffer very few casualties, the division commander will definitely reward you."
"Even if we lose the battle, as long as there are no casualties, the division commander won't blame you."
"This is something everyone knows, how come you, Sun Hu, don't know it?"
"Also, do you think that the suggestion you just made was not thought of by me, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, and Xu Hu?"
"I'm telling you, Sun Hu, we all thought of it, but why didn't we say it?"
"Because we know that if we send new recruits to recover the counties surrounding Chidong County, there will be heavy casualties."
"The commander will definitely not agree to this suggestion."
After hearing what Wang Dali said, Sun Hu looked at Wang Dali and said, "Wang Dali, how come we didn't know you were still a 'hindsight'?"
After hearing this, Wang Dali was ready to refute Sun Hu, but before Wang Dali could speak.
Liu Feng interrupted, "Okay, okay, that's enough, you two."
"Is now the time to talk about this?"
"We should now discuss how to better fulfill the orders given to us by the division commander."
"Wang Dali, Sun Hu, your Third Regiment didn't bring any heavy weapons with you when you came to Chidong County this time."
"You guys go to my first regiment and get some heavy weapons. We don't need too many heavy weapons for a day defending the city behind your third regiment."
"In a little while, our First Regiment's engineers will set up positions for your Third Regiment and the Guard Regiment."
"By the way, what kind of positions are you and the Guards Regiment planning to build?"
Wang Dali and Sun Hu's eyes lit up when they heard Liu Feng's words. Originally, they didn't know how to ask Liu Feng for some heavy weapons.
Unexpectedly, Liu Feng actually asked to give them three regiments of heavy weapons.
This time, their third regiment came to Chidong County on a forced march and did not bring any heavy weapons.
It just brought some artillery.
"Liu Feng, our Third Regiment will remember this favor." Wang Dali said with a grin.
"Just remember this. Next time when I need your help, you can't refuse."
"By the way, what kind of position are you planning to build?"
After hearing what Wang Dali said, Liu Feng picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, and said.
"What other position can we build? Of course, it's a standard defensive position." Wang Dali said slowly after hearing this.
"Defensive position?" Liu Feng frowned when he heard that, then turned to Wu Qianli and said, "Wu Qianli, where is your guard regiment?"
"What kind of position is your guard regiment planning to build?"
After hearing Liu Feng's words, Wu Qianli thought for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm also going to build a standard defensive position."
"Our mission this time is to hold back the Japanese 37th Division, so building a defensive position is the best option."
"After all, our Tiger Division's standard defensive positions can effectively defend against air raids and the Japanese heavy artillery."
"I plan to build three lines of defense and slowly wear down the Japanese. Anyway, my guard regiment brought a large amount of ammunition this time."
"And I heard from Xu Hu that the division commander established an arsenal in Chidong County a long time ago."
"So we don't need to worry about running out of ammunition."
Wu Qianli's words had just fallen.
Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu all looked straight at Xu Hu, because they knew nothing about the Chidong County arsenal.
In fact, it was not just Wang Dali and others who didn't know about it. Xu Hu also found out this morning.
"Why are you looking at me? I just heard about this from my master today. I didn't know it before."
"Besides, I don't know where the arsenal is right now, and the division commander didn't tell me either."
"I only know that the arsenal in Chidong County is enough for us to fight a major war."
Seeing Wang Donglai, Liu Feng and Sun Hu all looking at him, Xu Hu quickly spoke.
In fact, Xu Hu didn't know much, and Zhou Weimin didn't say much to Xu Hu.
Just tell Xu Hu that there is an arsenal in Chidong County that was built a long time ago.
This arsenal is enough for them to fight a big battle.
In fact, this arsenal was secretly built by Zhou Weimin last night, and the weapons and ammunition were also taken out by Zhou Weimin from the system space.
The arsenal was located in a yard not far from Zhou Weimin's residence.
At present, Zhou Weimin has asked Li Wenshan, the company commander of the first company of the guard battalion, to take over the arsenal.
With this arsenal.
Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Hu and Wu Qianli no longer have to worry about the consumption of ammunition.
So Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Hu and Wu Qianli discussed how to reduce casualties and consumption of the Japanese.
In the end, everyone listened to Wu Qianli's advice.
Build three lines of defense and fight with the Japanese 37th Division in a consumption battle. Just delay the Japanese 37th Division until night.
Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Hu and Wu Qianli are still very confident about this.
