Chapter 921 Since you said so, I have another idea
"You, you don't want to go get supplies?"
Zhou Weiguo was a little curious. This was the first time that Ono, such a greedy man, actually thought about the training and casualties of the soldiers.
This in itself is a very strange thing.
Hey……
Ono spread his hands. "Those coming here are the main force. The equipment of each army is not much different. In addition, our domestic arsenals are already producing better guns. The rifles and other things we snatched from the Japanese are not so easy to sell. After the battle, the compensation will increase. This account is not easy to calculate."
It turned out to be the case.
Zhou Weiguo smiled but said nothing.
The mockery in this smile made Ono frown; "What do you mean?"
"Your old unit is here. Are you sure you don't want to have friendly exchanges with them?" Asaka Hiderei said as she came out.
Who?
There was disbelief in Ono's eyes.
Who is coming? It’s my old unit, the 4th Division, and my fellow villagers are here.
He looked at Zhou Weiguo, and after seeing Zhou Weiguo nod, Xiaoye coughed twice. "I think our soldiers should go to the battlefield to improve their combat capabilities. Only the battlefield is the best training ground. After all, training in the rear will not make it easier for them to grow than in the front."
"The transformation was quite quick," Xiao Ya said after coming out with Nan Zao's name. "But it doesn't matter how you transform. The order has been issued. We are taking over the 5th Army and there is no reversal."
woohoo hoo...
Terauchi Juichi heaved a sigh of relief several times in his own headquarters. He had finally gotten the information he wanted.
Not long after the 4th Division moved north, Mandalay responded by mobilizing the 5th Army to Mandalay and letting the independent brigade replace the 5th Army.
"It seems they've understood our intentions." Terauchi Hisaichi tapped the map and turned to Takeuchi Hiroshi. "As for the 4th Division's weapons and equipment, don't over-equip them with tanks and heavy weapons."
He knew these people's personalities well enough; they were willing to sell anything. If he gave them heavy weapons, they would soon show up in the loss reports in various ways. Rather than letting them sell them, it would be better not to give them at all.
"General, as for their supplies, how should we..." replenish them?
Takeuchi Hiroshi asked cautiously. He knew that group of people to some extent. As long as it could be sold, they would be willing to sell any supplies.
"I will hold a special meeting with the 4th Division regarding this matter and inform them of the supply issues."
They weren't going to fight, but merely to serve as retainers and figureheads, monitoring the mountain city's army. As for sending them into battle, sorry, he had never considered it. Unless it was a pursuit, these people would be very active. If they were sent into battle, the combat strength would likely be reduced by half the day the order was issued.
They can only appear in the field where they are most suitable.
Dongyu Town is just a small town with a population of more than 400 households. It is less than 30 kilometers away from the military defense line of both sides.
It has been two days since we came here. During these two days, Zhou Weiguo has been traveling around various positions. He changed the defense method of the 5th Army, shrinking the troops into a large gap, and then formed several more gaps outside this gap.
This means that no matter which side attacks, the other side can provide reinforcements.
The reason for this choice was simply because he did not have enough troops.
His headquarters was located behind this opening. The Fifth Regiment, serving as a reserve, was five kilometers outside the town. He had only a tank battalion, a field hospital, a company of anti-aircraft battalion, and a special forces battalion.
"It looks like it's going to rain." Zhou Weiguo, dressed in military uniform, looked up at Fang Shengli beside him and asked, "How are our supplies prepared?"
Fang Shengli put his hands behind his back and said, "Mandalay has already collected enough supplies for our general for a month. Ono has stored them in several forests. Once they are needed, they will be delivered to the army within an hour. However..."
"Just what?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a chuckle.
"Vegetables." Xiao Ye walked over with Chen Ning, holding a helmet. "We're very short of vegetables. We have to purchase them every day, but we can only barely guarantee a sufficient supply. A lot of them get damaged when they're transported here. Also, the uneven roads and potholes along the way have affected our transportation."
Zhou Weiguo heard that the road was not in good condition. After thinking for a while, he took the two of them to the map and looked at it for a while before saying to Xiuling, "Xiuling, can you organize the local people to cooperate with the 4th Regiment and the Engineer Company to jointly repair the road in the rear and also repair the roads leading to the several positions on the front line?"
Asaka Hiderei bowed her head in thought for a moment before retrieving her helmet. "I'll contact them right away, but I don't think they'll be very motivated just by making promises."
"Report to the headquarters, the roads are difficult to travel, and we hope to allocate funds to repair them." These places are all in the mountain city, and it is only natural that they should allocate funds from above. After instructing Jinxiu to do this, Zhou Weiguo sat down and said to the busy crowd, "How do you think the vegetable problem can be solved?"
"We can purchase from the surrounding towns and the county town." Shen Xin suggested.
"No matter what, there will be a day when we run out of supplies. If we can't buy anything around, we'll have to rely on transportation. But the weather here is really weird. If it rains, it will probably take a long time for the supplies to arrive. We can't let the soldiers eat canned soup and rice every day."
Xiao Yaqing sat next to Zhou Weiguo, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Let's be self-reliant. Find some easy-to-grow vegetable seeds and distribute them. Then we can dig up the surrounding mountains and forests and plant a vegetable patch. In a few days, we will be able to eat vegetables grown by ourselves.
"I'm afraid the other side will blow us up as soon as they come up." Tian Jing said.
Xiao Ya shook her head. "If it were any other division facing us, I might be worried about this, but we're facing the 4th Division. As long as they don't mobilize, we don't have to worry about them attacking. Also, I think we should go over there to strengthen the relationship between the two sides, perhaps by exchanging some supplies. I think they're here for trade, so why can't we just go along with it?"
"Great, really great." Ono took out his cigarette nearby. "Your idea is good. We may not have what they have, and similarly, they may not have what we don't. For example, they don't have these cigarettes. We can definitely form a unique trade deal."
Xiao Ya blinked, hummed, and took off her helmet before saying, "If that's what you're saying, then I have a better idea. Would you like to hear it?"
