Rebirth of the National Marshal

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a deputy commander who doesn't want to be a regiment commander is not a good regiment commander.

Liu Dazhi has a lot of ambitions, but now he can only be a deputy regiment commander. He will not miss the opportunity to be promoted to the head of the regiment. Moreover, this new armored regiment uses German Tiger tanks. Although the Sherman tank is also very good, it is not as good as the Tiger tank. Everything is afraid of having better things. The Sherman tank is very good for the whole world now, but compared with the Tiger tank, it is a little backward. Since there is this opportunity, why not replace his tank regiment with Tiger tanks? When facing the enemy, there is also an extra chance to save life, right? The armor of the Tiger tank is much thicker than that of the Sherman tank. No matter what the situation is, the tank's protection ability is very important.

"Since we have such a good opportunity, what are we waiting for? Let the people behind us come over and we can attack the city directly. Just like what the commander-in-chief said, whoever has the harder fist has the final say. Now these Soviets are no match for us at all. Do we have to wait for them to be ready before we attack them?" After following Mao Yuanshan for a long time, these officers under him are like little tigers, and they don't take the enemy seriously when they speak. This is indeed a fact.

Don't blame them for being proud. It's just that these Soviet people were too weak to fight. In two battles, they took 80,000 to 90,000 prisoners. I don't know how they were trained in normal times. Nearly 20,000 to 30,000 people died.

The places where railways and roads will be built later do require a lot of labor, but we don’t ask you to send so many people there at once.

The infantry regiment had to take out a regiment of soldiers to escort 80,000 to 90,000 people back. Eating and drinking on the way was a big problem. Besides, even if they were sent to the destination, how would these people live? They couldn't just sleep outside at night. The weather in Mongolia was very cold. It would be strange if 100 to 180 people didn't freeze to death in one night!

This really put a lot of pressure on the logistics, and made the militia in the back a little overwhelmed. In the past, these people were bullied by the Soviets, but they didn't expect that our emancipated serfs would sing and send so many Soviet laborers.

"Irkutsk is different from other cities after all. It has been four months here. During these four months, the old guy Timoshenko has not been idle. He has mobilized most of the people in the city. You can see that three lines of defense have been built in the south and east. This is completely different from the lines of defense we just broke through. Those lines of defense were all built temporarily. They were just some civil engineering projects. It is completely different here. It is all made of reinforced concrete, and it is relatively close to their city. We have never fought street fighting before. If we don’t plan well, it is likely to bring serious casualties. We don’t have such a tragic victory here." Although there will definitely be casualties in war, for the officers of the security corps, after a series of battles, they also pay more attention to the lives of soldiers.

Unlike some warlords in China, those warlords valued their subordinates' weapons and equipment the most rather than their lives. Under Mao Yuanshan's education, these officers also understood that equipment was easy to get. As long as they told the logistics officers, they would immediately have truckloads of it. The most important problem was the soldiers, especially the technical soldiers. The most important thing in the armored regiment was the armored soldiers. There were plenty of tanks and the like, but it took at least two months to train an armored soldier.

Of course, for example, there are about five people on a tank. If two people are lost, two new soldiers can be found from other places at any time to replace them. But what if the tank loses four people? There is only one veteran and four novices, so the tank must be pulled back and reorganized.

"Basically, there's no need to think about this. We'll use our old method. The Air Force will bomb first, and then pull up the heavy artillery regiment. What are their 150mm artillery doing there? Of course, they're going to show off their power. Normally, they complain that there's not enough space for them on the domestic battlefield, and if their guns are damaged, we have to repair them ourselves. But now we're on enemy territory and they can do whatever they want to them. I don't think the people above will say anything. It's such a good deal to exchange shells for soldiers." Mao Yuanshan was the first to say this. Later, all the commanders and fighters on the front would say this. Whenever the people in the transport company started to complain, they would just use this sentence to stop them.

"We can't use the people from the heavy artillery regiment this time. Those guys just poured out 150mm heavy artillery shells like water, and they blew up the positions beyond recognition. You see, the Soviets are very cunning this time. There are hills to the north of their city and some plains to the south. There are not only their fortifications here, but also some factories and the like. I guess these Soviets must have placed bombs in the factories, and all the things that can be taken away have been dismantled. However, because our Air Force has cut off the railway line, they can't transport it out for a while. What we have to do is to take down this city and preserve the things in the industrial zone, otherwise our commander-in-chief will have to take action against the two of us." If it were according to the previous routine, Qiu Qingquan would certainly not have to worry. At most, he would give some benefits to the people in the transportation company and let them keep transporting artillery shells to the front line. The situation now is different from before. Fighting a war cannot be about rushing around, but also about economic benefits.

The term "economic benefit" was also uttered by their commander-in-chief. I don't know what's in the commander-in-chief's head. Why does he often say such strange words? I didn't quite understand it at the beginning, but after I understood it later, I felt that it was very necessary, just like this industrial zone, which must be taken back.

If all these enterprises were brought back, they would all be gooses that lay golden eggs. Now that education reform has begun in the base area, money is being spent everywhere. How can we not make money?
