Chapter 197: Promote Ding Wei to Lieutenant General and General
Zhou Weiguo was puzzled. What was wrong with the commander's words? He changed his mind at any time.
I just said that the Kwantung Army is like a lean camel that is bigger than a horse and is difficult to deal with. We need to slow down and make some efforts behind enemy lines.
After finishing a cigarette, do you feel like you can get on with it in a big way?
The change of mindset is too fast.
The armored regiment has just received 70 medium tanks recently. To be honest, Zhou Weiguo really wants to compete with the Japanese.
Ding Wei's change of mind was due to nothing else but the upgrade of rewards for destroying roads and blowing up bridges.
Just one Shihe railway bridge gave him 80 Soviet tanks. Although the BT-7 was discontinued in 40 years, it is still a good light tank.
In 39, it was still the main battle tank of the Soviet Army.
It has extremely strong mobility and good firepower output.
Its Christie suspension system is excellent, it travels faster, and has both wheel and track modes of travel.
The wheels can be used to travel on the road, and with only 30 minutes of rotation, the tank can go off-road using tracks.
After its successor, the T-34, came out 40 years ago, this tank fell from the position of main battle tank.
As a time traveler, Ding Wei had to admit that at this critical juncture, and even in the next 20 to 30 years, the Russians' tank technology was absolutely the best.
China can learn from this correct path and even copy many technologies intact.
Ding Wei also needs Zhou Weiguo, a talent who is good at armored warfare, to train more armored soldiers.
At the moment, one armored regiment is obviously not enough, and it must be expanded to form an armored brigade.
The main column should consider adding tank companies or even tank battalions to enhance armored breakthrough capabilities.
Once we enter the vast plains, we must make full use of mobile warfare methods and push forward all at once.
Ding Wei’s biggest problem is not the number of tanks, but the fuel behind them to support the operations.
Simply extending oil production is not enough to supply hundreds of tanks for combat.
In the past, we could rely on captured supplies, but the enemy's fuel supply became scarce and was under very strict surveillance, making it very difficult to capture supplies in combat.
The Yumen Oilfield controlled by the Nationalist government is worth considering.
Speaking of Mr. Xipi, the commendation for the Yanshan Victory was held very grandly.
Those who didn't know might have thought that the National Army had won a victory, and divided Ding Wei into 12 war zone sequences, saying that this was the first great victory in the Xinzhan District and represented a stage transition in the War of Resistance.
The international situation has improved, and a strategic counterattack will be launched domestically.
From strategic defense to strategic confrontation, we are now entering the stage of strategic counterattack.
The Sui-re-cha Military Region successively wiped out the 108th Division and severely damaged the elite 23rd Division of the Japanese Army. Its great reputation is truly impressive.
The operation of the 12th war zone is also at an imminent stage.
It is necessary to consider winning over Ding Wei.
His intention was very malicious. He recognized the legitimacy of the Suirecha Military Region's troops and awarded Ding Wei the number of the East Route Army of the 12th War Zone alone, making him affiliated with the 12th War Zone. He was promoted to lieutenant general and given the rank of general, and concurrently served as the commander of the East Route of the th War Zone.
Shancheng issued military uniforms, wages, salaries, supplies, etc.
Mr. Fu was the commander of the 35th Army and concurrently the commander of the western route of the 12th War Zone.
The National Government unified the publicity and put it into newspapers to publicize the great victories at Yanshan and Pangjiabao.
It was as if he treated the troops under Ding Wei's command as members of the national army and treated them as kindly as his own father.
Various newspapers and periodicals were published to publicize the bravery of the Northwest Army in the War of Resistance.
The word "Eighth Route Army" was not mentioned at all.
As a result, the masses only knew about the Northwest Army and the Eastern Route Army of the 12th War Zone, emphasizing the existence of Ding Wei.
This is a naked method of flattery.
Be the first to split the relationship between Ding Wei and the organization to make people suspicious. As long as there is a gap, everything will be easy to handle.
He personally arranged for special envoy Chu Yunfei to deliver dollars, gold, military uniforms and commendations to Wucheng.
All that's missing is the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers.
Ding Weiren was at the front-line command post, his brows furrowed very unpleasantly.
The method of flattery is a soft knife that does not draw blood and specifically targets the dark side of human nature.
Zhou Weiguo put down the newspaper and looked at the commander with a smile.
"Sir, it was very generous of you to give the commander, Lieutenant General, the rank of General in one go, which was a great honor."
He was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy and a student studying in Germany. After returning, he served as the commander of a main regiment in the National Army.
The military rank is only colonel.
Once upon a time, I also wanted to be promoted to the rank of major general and have a star on my clothes.
The Eighth Route Army practices this internally, and will never display this vanity on their uniforms.
On the one hand, it reflects the unity of officers and soldiers, no special treatment, no exploitation, and equality for all.
Another point to consider is that on the battlefield, officers are likely to become the Japanese's priority targets.
Ding Wei took a breath of cold air. Are they going to put him on the iron pan and roast him repeatedly?
That old guy in Shancheng is really evil-minded.
Mr. Xipi knew very well that it was difficult to win over Ding Wei's troops, so he used disgusting means to create suspicion within the Eighth Route Army and thus weaken the strength of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region.
If Ding Wei could be hidden away and transferred to the second line, that would be exactly what he wanted.
Through dual propaganda via telegrams, radio stations, and newspapers, all the well-known generals in the National Army sent congratulatory messages to congratulate the Eastern Route Army of the 12th War Zone for its heroic fighting.
The bosses should not be disturbed by simple means of separation.
Moreover, during the period of joint resistance against Japan, division commanders and others also had official military ranks and were also affiliated with the Second War Zone of the War of Resistance.
Just by raising him to the highest military rank in one breath and putting him above all the bosses, Ding Wei really felt a little uncomfortable.
Ding Wei felt relieved to receive the news from the headquarters.
Revolutionary comrades can stand the test.
Being able to take advantage of the situation to obtain the number of the Eastern Route Army means that Shancheng must provide military pay and supplies for these tens of thousands of people, and can ask Mr. Xipi for money openly.
why not.
It would be great if everyone had this awareness, including some of the regiment commanders and brigade commanders within the organization, and especially the old comrades who participated in the revolution.
He spat softly and secretly cursed Ding Wei for what he did.
What qualifications does he have to stand above these CEOs?
A greenhorn like him dares to serve as a lieutenant general and even hold the rank of general.
Some people with hot tempers started cursing directly, saying that Ding Wei was nothing and they had never even heard of him.
As I said, human hearts cannot help but ponder and speculate. Small tricks can only influence ordinary people, but cannot influence the true God.
Ding Wei didn't take it seriously as it was just a nominal position.
The troops he has, including three cavalry detachments, a tank regiment, and a howitzer regiment, are the elite among the elite.
Not afraid of any crooked ways, nor afraid of anyone's questioning.
Taking this opportunity, the troops rested at the foot of the mountain.
Since so many people are scolding him, he really needs to take over the position of commander of the Eastern Army of the 12th War Zone.
He held two positions, serving as the commander of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region and the commander of the Eastern Route Army of the 12th War Zone.
Chu Yunfei was planning to break away from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and join the Central Army. He would personally handle affairs for Shancheng and serve as the special commissioner of the Eastern Route Army.
Chu Yunfei, with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, has always wanted to add a star to his military rank.
He thought it was a matter of time, but he never imagined that his brother Ding would make a leap and become a lieutenant general and then a general in the national army.
