Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

"It's impossible for anyone to go there... just these advanced equipments are a big problem!"

"Even with these advanced equipment, to form combat effectiveness in such a short time, I guess only Su Zheng can do it!"

"If Su Zheng were to take up the post at the headquarters, even if Su Zheng's plans were good, the people below would not be able to execute them properly!"

"Or if the people below don't have the strength and ability to carry it out... then it's all in vain!"

indeed.

No matter how perfect the plan is, it will be useless if it is not implemented.

Execution is important!

The only one who has the planning and execution capabilities is Su Zheng.

Therefore, the Deputy Chief of General Staff felt that Su Zheng was more suitable for the front-line troops, so that he could develop faster and stronger.

The boss naturally understood what the deputy chief of staff meant, and nodded and said, "Old Zuo, I understand what you mean!"

"The Tiger Guards are now developing at a strong momentum. No matter who leads the Tiger Guards, it will be impossible for them to control this army!"

"We must build the Tiger Guards into the strongest ace unit of our Eighth Route Army. We must not change the commander!"

"So I thought of a way to have the best of both worlds. I can let Su Zheng serve as the head of the Tiger Guard Regiment in the frontline troops, and at the same time he can take up an important position in our headquarters and formulate a more extensive combat plan!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff is also a smart man.

Moreover, he has been working with the boss for such a long time, so he naturally understands what the boss means.

The deputy chief of staff quickly reacted and looked at the general and said, "General, do you mean to move the Eighth Route Army headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base?"

As long as the headquarters is moved to the Xinzhongcun base, Su Zheng can serve in the front-line troops and at the headquarters at the same time.

That's the best of both worlds.

The boss laughed and said, "Hahahaha... Lao Zuo, you still understand me!"

"Regarding the matter of moving the Eighth Route Army headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base... we have discussed this many times!"

"I've considered the feasibility of this many times, but I just can't make up my mind!"

"But... after this headquarters crisis, I feel that the Xinzhongcun base is a very suitable location for the headquarters!"

"What do you think?"

The location of this headquarters exposed many problems.

The biggest problem is the security of the headquarters.

Although the Eighth Route Army headquarters was located in the heart of the Eighth Route Army base and defense zone, and there were two regiments stationed around it.

But this can't guarantee the safety of the headquarters at all.

Because the defense zone and base are so large, there will always be loopholes!

Just like this time.

Kenkichi Ikegami's Independent Mixed 9th Brigade was such a large unit that it was able to penetrate the defense zones of so many Eighth Route Army troops and eventually discovered the Eighth Route Army headquarters by accident.

This is extremely dangerous.

Although the possibility of this is very low.

But since it has been discovered once, it may happen a second time.

This is also an issue that the general manager and deputy chief of staff need to consider.

If the Eighth Route Army's headquarters was in the Xinzhongcun base, this problem would not have arisen.

Because all entrances and exits of the Xinzhongcun base are guarded by troops.

This largely avoided the possibility of a large force entering the Xinzhongcun base.

Also.

The Xinzhongcun base also has a very solid and tight defense system and fortifications.

When encountering an attack by the Japanese, we can completely protect the safety of the Xinzhongcun base.

The boss has a deep understanding of this point.

After all, the boss had participated in the defense of the Xinzhongcun base.

Coupled with the powerful combat capability of the Tiger Guards, the safety of the headquarters can be further ensured.

This time the headquarters was in crisis...if the tank infantry battalion of the Tiger Guard Regiment had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The deputy chief of staff naturally knew the benefits of having the headquarters stationed in the Xinzhongcun base. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Boss...you are right!"

"This headquarters crisis has exposed a lot of problems... If the headquarters is moved to the Xinzhongcun base, it will be a good choice!"

"The Xinzhongcun base has the best timing, location and people!"

The weather was very good. Because of the climate and environment in the Xinzhongcun base area, it was more prone to fog... This avoided the possibility of bombing by the Japanese!

After all, the Japanese bombing and air raids are now all conducted at visual range.

If you can't see it, you can't bomb it.

Due to climate and environment, the Xinzhongcun base was prone to foggy weather, which became a natural barrier to avoid frequent bombings by the Japanese.

The reason why the Chairman chose the mountain city as the secondary capital is because the mountain city has a foggy weather.

Geographical advantage.

This is naturally related to the geographical location of the Xinzhongcun base.

The Xinzhongcun base is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are mountains and forests behind it, which is a good cover. ....

Once an irreversible situation arises in the Xinzhongcun base, we can retreat into the mountains.

of course.

The important reason for the security of the Xinzhongcun base is the harmony of the people.

Because the Xinzhongcun base had various solid defensive fortifications, a solid mass base and a powerful Tiger Guard Regiment.

With such a configuration...who would dare to rashly attack the Xinzhongcun base?

Even if we rashly attack the Xinzhongcun base, it would be a dead end.

It can be said that the Xinzhongcun base had the right time, place and people, which enabled the Huben Regiment to develop so rapidly.

I have to say that Su Zheng has a really sharp vision.

When Su Zheng brought 20 soldiers to Xinzhong Village, he chose Xinzhong Village as his base!

The Xinzhongcun base was the cornerstone of the development of the Tiger Guards.

The general manager agreed with the deputy chief of staff's words and nodded, "Indeed... Xinzhongcun base is a very safe base. I think it is not a problem to move the headquarters to Xinzhongcun base!"

"How about this...we'll continue our in-depth discussion tomorrow!"

"Through this incident...I believe that everyone else in the headquarters is willing to move the headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base!"

The Deputy Chief of Staff nodded: "Well... let's continue the discussion tomorrow!"

According to the boss's analysis and the current crisis at the Eighth Route Army headquarters, relocating the headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base is a foregone conclusion.

All that’s left is the final decision.

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff asked the boss: "By the way...Boss, what position do you plan to assign to Su Zheng?"

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters mainly made relevant deployments and plans based on the overall anti-Japanese situation.

Simply put, the Eighth Route Army headquarters was a group of people who gave advice and suggestions.

Generally, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters would formulate some combat plans and deployments, etc., and then hand them over to the subordinate troops to execute.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters is equivalent to the brain of the entire Eighth Route Army.

The boss was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I want to arrange a senior chief of staff position for Su Zheng... Lao Zuo, what do you think?"

In the Eighth Route Army headquarters, there were military cadres, staff officers, military advisers, secretaries, etc., mainly staff officers.

Now the boss has arranged a senior chief of staff for Su Zheng, which is not a low level.

The rank of the senior chief of staff is one level lower than that of the left deputy chief of general staff, but one level higher than other ordinary combat staff officers.

Although the Chief of Staff does not seem to have much real power, he always has a very high status in the military, and even many decisions are made by the Chief of Staff.

To put it simply, the chief of staff is similar to the military advisor of ancient armies. They need to make plans for the troops' operations. The chief of staff is the product of the transition from the old to the new in the late Qing Dynasty army, and the starting point is as high as the division level, so ordinary people are not really qualified to serve as chief of staff.

The abilities that Su Zheng has demonstrated make him fully qualified to be a senior chief of staff.

PS: I beg for an automatic subscription to break 60, and I beg for a rich man to give me a reward. I am grateful to all the parents who provide me with food and clothing.

Chapter 510 Unanimously approved! The headquarters officially moved to Su Zheng’s base! (Second update, please subscribe)

The Chief of Staff is the military advisor of the army.

If he doesn't have some ability, he has no ability to serve as chief of staff.

The Left Deputy Chief of General Staff held a very high status in the Eighth Route Army.

A very important reason is that the boss likes it.

Because no matter how powerful the chief of staff is, he is not the supreme commander of the army.

This is just like the situation in ancient wars, where the military advisor is standing by and offering a lot of advice and suggestions, but the general just doesn't listen to him, so the military advisor is of no use.

This is a very real problem.

But even so, not everyone can be chief of staff.

Now the boss is asking the deputy chief of general staff whether Su Zheng can serve as the senior chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

After all, all the chiefs of staff are under the supervision of the deputy chief of general staff.

Furthermore...this also shows that the boss values ​​the deputy chief of general staff.

After all, the two are old partners.

The deputy chief of staff also directly expressed his opinion, saying without hesitation: "Boss, I think Su Zhengshi is fully qualified and capable of serving as the senior chief of staff of our headquarters!"

"Although Su Zheng is young, he has never been defeated. He has invented many tactics and strategies, such as the three-three system tactics, the cannon-bayonet tactics, the infantry-tank coordination tactics, and so on!"

“In addition, Su Zheng also fought many tough battles, including many top 14 opponents, but he won in the end!”

"The best example is the Battle of Ping'an. Even though Su Zheng was at a disadvantage in all aspects, he was able to annihilate the elite Second Division and capture Ping'an County... This is a manifestation of strength!"

You know, the military has very high requirements for selecting chiefs of staff, especially the chief of staff of the headquarters, who cannot be mediocre.

The senior chief of staff is at a higher level than the ordinary combat staff, which requires him to be more capable.

If it was the Generalissimo's National Government, generally only those who had graduated from specialized military academies in the country or had studied military knowledge abroad... were qualified to become Chief of Staff.

Therefore, these chiefs of staff are all people who have attended military academies and received professional training.

As for whether one has the ability to be chief of staff, it depends on the individual.

In addition to military qualities, the chief of staff also needs certain communication skills and the ability to conduct overall analysis.

Because during combat, the chief of staff is also responsible for tasks such as intelligence collection and analysis.

Therefore, anyone who served as Chief of Staff in the National Government basically had received higher education.

However, some commanders even had higher academic qualifications than the chief of staff, which made the chief of staff in the National Government have an average status and they were unable to dispatch troops.

In the Eighth Route Army, the Chief of Staff is even more extraordinary.

The chief of staff not only has a high status in the Eighth Route Army, but also has the opportunity to be promoted to commander.

If necessary in wartime, the Chief of Staff will also have absolute command authority and the qualifications to dispatch troops.

Therefore, the Chief of Staff has a very high status in the Eighth Route Army.

Simply put, the chairman of the National Government does not necessarily have real power, his status is average, and he may not be able to deploy troops.

However, in the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff has a very high status and can deploy troops at critical moments.

This is the difference.

In short, no matter which unit the chief of staff serves in, his rank is lower than that of a division commander, but slightly higher than that of a regiment commander.

However, the specific position of the chief of staff in the army depends on his personal ability.
