Zhao Dongyun’s answer is that he has no money!
Chapter four hundred and twenty Handsome Yang De
Hundreds of thousands of people under the quartermaster, even if a person is paid a round salary in January and eats and drinks, he can’t sell it in millions every month. This money can let Fengjun raise several more divisions.
Except for the technical personnel with high technical requirements, such as captains, sailors and grooms in sea and river transportation, his ordinary coolies can’t get a dime.
Of course, it won’t last long for Fengjun to recruit them. Generally, it will take a month or two to leave. Anyway, there are many people in the Soviet area, especially in Henan, Anhui, Shandong and other provinces, which are close to the front line. The population is large enough for Fengjun to keep taking turns to recruit hundreds of thousands of people to support the front line troops.
This kind of thing is also very fucked up for the later generations and unreasonable for a normal modern country, but it is a very normal phenomenon in contemporary China.
If Zhao Dongyun insists on holding the universal values of later generations or thinking as a good person, he will not recruit civilian workers or pay for them, then he is definitely out of his mind.
After the Ministry of Quartermaster split up a large number of active transport regiments and added them to the field troops, on the one hand, it enabled the field troops to obtain a large number of trench personnel, on the other hand, it simplified the management personnel needed by the Ministry of Quartermaster.
Although the Ministry of Quartermaster is an organization in charge of logistics, the actual management personnel of the Ministry of Quartermaster are very many. The former Ministry of Quartermaster has more than a dozen transport regiments under the management and command of the Ministry of Quartermaster, with more than 30,000 active soldiers and more than 300,000 civilian workers.
Now that these transport regiments have been handed over to the field forces, the Ministry of Military Supplies will have all kinds of civilian workers left, which will simplify the management a lot
After a large number of transport regiments of the Ministry of Quartermaster were added to the field forces, the third division, the ninth division and the tenth division were first expanded into 19-year-old units, and then the first division, the fourteenth division, the fourth Huncheng Brigade and the first Huncheng Brigade were also expanded into 19-year-old units.
However, other divisions, such as the 11th Division, 13th Division, 16th Division and 15th Division, have no expansion plans for the time being, because these units are not in the first line, and at the same time, the transport regiment of the Ministry of Munitions has also been replenished. If we want to expand the troops, we have to recruit new recruits. This is a large sales office. Now, when Jiangnan is in strategic tension, Zhao Dongyun intends to continue to expand the 15th Division, because this unit is formed as the main division, and will soon go to the South War. The expansion needs other units to wait until the army is relaxed.
In this way, there are two kinds of establishments in Fengjun troops, one is the old establishment in 1997 and the other is the new establishment in 19 years. The difference between these two establishments is not in technical weapons and combatants, but in the gap between logistics personnel.
This gap is somewhat similar to that of wartime preparation in peacetime in other countries.
In Japan, Germany and other countries, the actual establishment of their troops in peacetime is not as large as that in wartime. The Japanese army is similar to the Beiyang Army. In peacetime, there are actually more than 10,000 people in a standing division, which is not much more than the Beiyang Standing Army.
However, during the war, one of their divisions was able to expand to more than 20,000 people. After the world learned that a division of more than 20,000 people in Japan was actually fully supplemented with troops, especially logistics personnel, during the war.
The total strength of several main divisions of Fengjun has increased a lot, but the actual total strength of the front line of Fengjun Jinling has not changed. The only difference is that many logistics personnel originally belonging to the Ministry of Quartermaster have been directly assigned to those field troops, but the total strength of Fengjun has not increased much.
However, although the total strength has not increased, the logistics structure has been simplified, and the logistics personnel of divisional troops have been greatly increased, but it has effectively improved the combat effectiveness of the frontline troops of Fengjun to a certain extent, especially for the main forces such as the third division and the ninth division.
In the past, they were limited by their own logistics personnel. When they were in short supply, they often communicated with the major military departments or the military supplies department to get their front-line logistics support. But now their own logistics strength is enough to complete their front-line supply.
In particular, the distance of five kilometers from the material supply point to the front line is completed by the transportation group of the military department and the Ministry of Military Supplies. However, the trench troops of the current divisional units are enough to complete this distance, which improves the supply efficiency of the troops and the supply efficiency. The frontline troops have enough ammunition, which is even more convenient to fight.
This situation improved when Fengjun launched a general attack on Jinling city, which was even more obvious. A large amount of ammunition was hoarded in the rear, but the artillery position in the front line was fired twice, so there was no shell, and it did not happen.
The supply was smooth. Fengjun artillery fired a large number of artillery shells at Jinling City to support tens of thousands of Fengjun infantry officers. The Chinese military band drummed and the cat trotted towards the Anhui army in front.
On April 3rd, the 3rd Division and 14th Division of Fengjun launched their first face-to-face attack just south of Jinling, and more than 20,000 Fengjun soldiers fired from the front just six kilometers away.
After the shells of the Anhui army fell into the middle of the charge and exploded, shrapnel and shock waves overturned one soldier after another, while the heavy machine guns of the Anhui army clicked on the opposite side, and several soldiers fell in pieces.
Although he suffered a lot of casualties from the moment he served in the army, the commander of the Fourth Army, the supreme commander of Jinling Campaign, did not reach the evacuation order. As usual, he took a large number of officers to climb the hill and watched his soldiers fall in pieces through binoculars.
At this time, his look fully embodies that a million bones will wither and hundreds of thousands of people will be killed and wounded. Meng Enyuan did not show pity. On the contrary, he smiled when he saw a regiment of the 14th Division rush into the position of the Anhui Army and directly seized the position with bayonets.
"good! The fourteenth division is as brave as the old troops like the third division! " Meng Enyuan excitedly put on the telescope and then turned to the officers beside him and said, "After this war, I will personally fight bloody battles in the 14th Division, and the officers will ask the President for credit!"
"Shuai is a new show of our army, but his bravery is not much worse than that of Yu Shuai!" Aside from the fourth army chief of staff, Gu Qizhi, less ` will also pay lip service to praise.
Gu Qizhi is also an old man in the army. In 191, he was Zhao Dongyun, the second battalion of Wuwei Right Army, and participated in the suppression of Guangzong rebellion with the team officers and Zhao Dongyun. Later, Zhao Dongyun left the third association of Wuwei Right Army Commander. Although he did not follow, when Zhao Dongyun went to the northeast to train the third town, he once again went to the northeast to join Zhao Dongyun. After that, the battalion officers were promoted to less last year. After six months, he was transferred to the Chief of Staff of the Fourth Army.
Because he was absent from following Zhao Dongyun in those years, his position in the army was much lower than that of Lin Yong and others, the so-called everyone has his own opportunities, which does not mean that everyone can follow Zhao Dongyun from the beginning and be smooth sailing.
And Gu Jizhi’s handsome mouth naturally means that Yang Deyu’s handsome talk is not the later generation or Gu Lanyu’s. According to the contemporary military service, some senior generals at this level are generally regarded as honorifics. A handsome man is usually named after a word, while some people take a different word.
As Yang De became the commander of the 14th division, the families naturally called him "Shuai" according to this habit. However, this handsome title is generally called "Yang" when the rank and position are lower than that of others, but the rank of the commander is quite similar. Generally, the brigade commander class of the mixed brigade calls him "Yang" or General Yang will call him "Yang Xiong" in informal occasions, which is better.
For example, Meng Enyuan sometimes calls him Mr. Yang and sometimes calls him’ De’ directly.
And the name’ de’ in the whole of Su Li, besides Zhao Dongyun, there are also several’ generals who can call others that way, but they are not qualified.
In this era, people are very particular about their names, and it is easy for the world to get confused.
Yang De led the 14th Division to participate in the Jinling Campaign, but it didn’t disgrace the title of "handsome". Although the 14th Division lost a lot in previous battles, the results were quite large, and the record was even comparable to that of the 3rd Division.
The excellent performance of the 14th Division makes people see a Gu Lanyu slowly emerging, and at the same time, it also makes people have more expectations for the 14th Division, expecting this Division to become a third division.
However, the growth of the 14th Division in Yang De, which is famous for its military service, is extremely costly. Since the crossing of the river to join the battle, the cumulative casualties of the 14th Division have reached more than 3,000, and nearly 2,000 people have been killed.
Most of the casualties in the Battle of Jinling in Fengjun were actually casualties of the 14th Division.
The heavy casualties forced the Ministry of Education to replenish recruits to the 14th Division almost every few days to keep the 14th Division full. However, the large number of recruits also means many casualties, especially in the new barracks of Fengjun.
Many recruits who have just finished their training are full of worries when they hear that they will be added to the 14th Division, and there have been several desertions.
The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but the officers of the 14th Division suffered little casualties. Except for outstanding graduates from military schools, most of the officers of the 14th Division were officers with many years of combat experience, and it was the experienced officers who supported the 14th Division.
Even though the 14th Division suffered heavy casualties, a batch of new recruits supplemented it, but the 14th Division became stronger and stronger, and the group of outstanding officers played a huge role.
This is the case with the 14th Division now. Despite the heavy casualties in the attack, the 14th Division led by officers with rich combat experience successfully broke through the defensive position of the Anhui Army and was pushed to Jinling City by the Fengjun front for the first time.
Zhao Dongyun didn’t feel too surprised at the news that the 14th Division had invaded Jinling City. He said with a smile, "He’s not bad at fighting!"
Zhao Dongyun’s expectation of Yang De is quite high. Only a few of Yang De’s soldiers in the army have received complete higher military education and graduated from Berlin military students. Zhao Dongyun of high flyers hopes that he can grow up quickly and eventually become a commander in chief of the army.
If he, a Berlin military cadet, high flyers, releases his country, and his military quality is generally low, then Zhao Dongyun will have to doubt the level of German military education.
Chapter four hundred and twenty-one Many casualties
It is said that Yang De won Zhao Dongyun’s 14 th Division, which was "he played well", but it cost more than 2,000 casualties
Directly killed is as high as more than 100 people, slightly injured, and more breakthroughs in the 14th Division, saying that the soldiers laid bones all the way.
However, for the 14th Division, many people chose to regard it as especially high-ranking generals, including Zhao Dongyun, Meng Enyuan and Yang Deshi, who were not too concerned about thousands of casualties.
Zhao Dongyun did not mention the fact that Feng Jun, the supreme commander of a military and political interest group, has been reported how many people have been killed or injured every day since he entered the army. Hundreds of people have been killed or injured since he entered the army last year. The cumulative number of casualties has exceeded 60,000, and more than 10,000 people have died.
There are also tens of thousands of injured people, many of whom are seriously injured and forced to amputate.
These tens of thousands of casualties mean that tens of thousands of families have lost their pillars, their wives have lost their husbands and their mothers have lost their children.
But these family pains have never been assured by Zhao Dongyun’s senior generals.
Those living lives are just data in their eyes.
If there is a profession that is the most cold-blooded, there is no doubt that soldiers are not those soldiers, but those officers who are bent on winning great victories, especially high generals. Most of those famous soldiers from ancient times to modern times are cold-blooded animals.
They regard life as a kind of consumables and bullets and shells.
In the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army’s so-called meat-bomb tactics reflected this thinking incisively and vividly. It seems that Nogi Maresuke’s soldiers just came to consume the enemy’s bombs.
Although the senior generals in Bong Jun are not as abnormal as Nogi Maresuke, they are not much better, and the higher the birth, the more so Yang De is. Don’t look at his plane, but the whole person is a war machine. When the 14th Division launches an attack, his heart is victory, and the 14th Division’s fighting capacity is high. It is acceptable to pay thousands of casualties, so that the 14th Division can grow rapidly like the third division, even if it kills ten new recruits, it will be worthwhile to exchange them for a veteran who has experienced the baptism of war.
Some people may say that this is a kind of reason, but reason is often the most cruel.
