Chapter 455 Checking the Family Assets
"Brothers, it seems you've been eating well lately. Your face has become a little plump. But I have to remind you that the higher the official position, the better the treatment. If anyone can't hold a gun on the battlefield and tries to enjoy the comforts, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Most of the generals under Li Shaoyi had lived a miserable life before. They were exhausted every day and could not eat enough. They looked like they were malnourished.
But after joining the army with Li Shaoyi, the food became better and better. Some people's faces became a little rounder from eating so much, especially Zhao Tiezhu.
When the brothers heard what Li Shaoyi said, they smiled a little embarrassedly, but they really had to control their body shape. If they continued to eat like this, it would soon be as Li Shaoyi said, and they would not be able to move on the battlefield. When the soldiers were training, they had to keep up, so as not to be eliminated by the division commander.
There have been rumors within the army for a long time that after taking back the outer Xiongnu, there will definitely be a new organization in Nanjing. If you are as fat as a ball, even if you have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, you will not look good in the new military uniform, right?
"Even if you don't mention this, I've already made a plan for them. This order has been issued to all officers and police officers, as well as to the various monitoring systems within the military. All officers must undergo weekly military training and physical assessments. Those who fail the assessment will have half of their salary for that month docked."
Chief of Staff Cui did not agree with Li Shaoyi, but had already made a plan and was ready to bring it out after the meeting. After all, compared with the combat deployment, this had to be put aside for a while. Since Li Shaoyi mentioned this, it didn't matter if he brought it out first.
"The training plan developed by the Chief of Staff is perfect for you. You need to improve your commanding abilities, and your physical fitness shouldn't be compromised. You can't abandon your own abilities just because your security forces are upgraded. That's not how a general should lead troops."
Li Shaoyi took a quick look at the plan and was very satisfied with it. At the same time, he also had a requirement for himself: he had to train when it was time to train. He could not walk around the front line every day without good physical fitness.
"Okay, now let's get down to business. After lunch, go back to where you came from. I need you to report to me first, especially your two families. How many people can you spare to carry out the current mission?"
Li Shaoyi's words were addressed to the Chief of Staff and Zhao Tiezhu.
The Chief of Staff has always been between Peking and Chahar, where the training camps are the most concentrated. Zhao Tiezhu only needs to look after the foreigners in Tianjin, including the 22 counties in eastern Hebei, so not many people are needed.
Li Shaoyi was not planning to transfer personnel from other troops, after all, they were under considerable pressure now.
"The new recruits from the various training camps have already been assigned to their respective units. Currently, there are approximately 5,000 units that haven't been organized yet."
Chief of Staff Cui's brain is like a computer. Although there are many training camps and even more people, he remembers everything very clearly.
"Gather these 5,000 men into a new regiment, and send them all to the grasslands. The numbers originally assigned to other units will be supplemented by new recruits. Once the new regiment arrives at the grasslands, it will serve as a reserve alongside the 36th Division, stabilizing the rear."
Li Shaoyi thought for a while and said, although the current attacks on the grassland are not large in scale and we don’t have many casualties, the Russians have already announced that they will mobilize several infantry divisions, and the next battle will definitely be on the scale of tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, the reserve force must be well deployed. Originally, the 1st Security Brigade was considered the reserve force, but who knew that the area of the grassland is so large? Although we were prepared before, it now seems that our preparations are not sufficient. These 5,000 people are just the right supplement.
After saying that, Li Shaoyi looked at Zhao Tiezhu again. Zhao Tiezhu had a battalion that followed Li Shaoyi to the grassland, and it was obvious that he could mobilize more troops.
"Two groups are not a problem."
Zhao Tiezhu gritted his teeth. Now is the time to use people. We can't hide it. As long as the Japanese don't send more troops in North China, there will be absolutely no other problems.
"Okay then. After you return, quickly send your two regiments to Rehe and temporarily hand them over to Zhang Maozi's command."
Now in Rehe, apart from the security corps, there is only Zhang Maozi's infantry brigade left, which seems a bit thin. The Japanese may not necessarily launch an attack, but if they do, we must be prepared.
"Yes."
Zhao Tiezhu was thinking in his mind that he originally thought he had enough people under his command, but now after pulling out some troops here and there, he only had more than two regiments of troops under his command. Looking at the vast area of North China, with the help of various security groups, there should be no problem.
Because the populations of the counties in North China were so large, replacing the departed population wouldn't be easy, but it would only take two or three months.
"Brigade Commander Xia, how is the situation over there?"
Li Shaoyi turned around and spoke to Xia Guogui, the commander of the independent brigade.
Counting the days, this guy returned to the north earlier than Li Shaoyi, and has been busy for more than a month now.
"Reporting to the commander, the independent brigade has been established, and all units are undergoing intensive training. If we need to deploy troops for combat, only the first regiment of the independent brigade can currently meet combat standards."
Brigade Commander Xia stood at attention and began to report to Li Shaoyi.
The 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade is a reinforced regiment with a total of 5,000 people. It is also the strongest combat force in the Independent Brigade, including more than 800 veterans.
"Mobilize a regiment north, but don't go to the grasslands. Go to the junction of the grasslands and Rehe. Go to whichever side has problems."
With the new regiment sent by Chief of Staff Cui, there is no need to be so anxious for the time being. Considering the previous casualties, these people can hold on for a while. The first regiment of the independent brigade is placed at the junction of the grassland and the inland as a mobile force.
"Yes."
Brigade Commander Xia has adapted to some of the 72nd Division's working methods over this period of time. That is, speed is the key and time will never be wasted.
I had never experienced this before when I was in the south, but now I know that if you are a little slower, you will be overtaken by others immediately.
After the meeting, Li Shaoyi met with the leaders of various regions, learned about their situations, and explained his own views. If a war really had to be launched on two fronts, then everyone would have to fight side by side.
Whether it's the Russians or the Japanese, it's either you die or I die, there can only be one result...
