Yang Tianfeng ordered the ministers to select miners from the soldiers, not to let them mine coal, but to set up a professional engineer unit to quickly dig fortifications to prepare for the Japanese's mobilization.
Why not organize engineering teams from the civilians? Yang Tianfeng is also for safety reasons. After all, the tunnels and fortifications they excavated are military and are a hidden killing move. If the enemy knows it, it will bring many adverse factors.
Therefore, the personnel of the engineering troops are required to be native, with local families, and a supervision mechanism, so as to maximize the secret of the tunnels dug. Of course, this engineering troops that are more professional in digging holes will also build some field tunnel fortifications for the troops in the future, and the military pay will be different from other troops.
Civil engineering has been around since ancient times and has been continuously improved. Moreover, it is one of the compulsory subjects in the military academies of various countries. During World War II, countries used it in large quantities, but the Japanese army (the Matsuyama Guard and the Bloody Battle of Iwoo Island) achieved good results, and the effect of the national army was unsatisfactory.
When he heard that Yang Tianfeng was going to transfer him to the new army, and his military pay remained unchanged, and even had extra bonuses due to the quick and good completion of the task, Luo Sanxi agreed happily. After all, he was familiar with this, and the danger should be lower than fighting on the battlefield.
In Yang Tianfeng's mind, what can bring civil engineering to the extreme is the battle between the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the US military in North Korea. Starting from the army's creative connection of two deepening artillery holes and becoming a small horseshoe-shaped tunnel, the Volunteer Army built tunnel fortifications on a large scale and tunnel combat, greatly enhancing the stability of defense.
The tunnel fortifications are conducive to preserving live power and repeatedly fighting with the enemy at one point or several points, thereby consuming a large amount of live power of the enemy. It not only solves the problem of defending positions in defensive operations, but also helps to implement position offensive operations, which is of great significance to winning the war. The tunnel combat of the volunteers raised the position war to a new level and enriched the content of military academics.
In his heart, Yang Tianfeng really hoped that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese would die less and the country would suffer less losses. Based on this starting point, Yang Tianfeng not only wrote "The Essence of Boya Tactics" and "Special Operation Manual", but also wrote "Infantry Training Minutes", but also expressed the importance of tunnel fortifications in actual combat.
No matter how strong Yang Tianfeng's personal ability is, he can lead the troops to win more battles. And advanced tactical theories have been promoted, and the quality of Chinese soldiers can be improved and the command level of officers can improve. The effect may change the entire course of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Under Yang Tianfeng's explanation, Luo Sanxi initially understood the current focus of work, which was to excavate fortifications in Mangdang Mountain. As for why it was there, it was not a military secret that he should have known.
"Each unit is selecting miners, carpenters, and bricklayers, and gathering in the area one after another." Yang Tianfeng finally explained: "Of course, you can also go back to the village to recruit some honest and reliable personnel. This work is much safer than being a soldier and fighting. I believe someone is willing to do it. But you have to pay attention to let those people keep their mouths tight, you must be responsible for supervision, and try to keep it as confidential as possible."
"I understand." Luo Sanxi became an official for nothing, and was in a good mood. He agreed to Yang Tianfeng's request very happily.
"You must hurry up. I will go to give guidance in a few days." Yang Tianfeng solemnly said: "This is a drawing. You can understand it. The project progress should be fast and the quality should be excellent."
"I understand, I don't dare to fool things about fighting the Japanese if I give me the courage to do so." Luo Sanxi put the drawings into his arms and answered seriously.
Haha, Yang Tianfeng patted his shoulder to show encouragement, and shook hands with him before he asked Chen Dalong to send him away.
…………………
He was woken up as soon as he fell asleep. He was about to find out that his aunt had come to him. What was this feeling? Yang Tianfeng was about to curse and sighed helplessly. Through the window, Yang Tianfeng first sent Chen Dalong away who came to inform him, and then slowly put on his clothes and walked out.
Ma Yuming sat happily in the reception room, not knowing that it disturbed Yang Tianfeng's good sleep. He came to report the good news because Major General Suzuki, the Japanese devil, was sent to Chongqing safely and was made a big fuss by the government, hoping to use this to wipe out the defeat of the Wuhan Battle and greatly improve the morale of the people.
In Chongqing, newspapers rush to publish news and photos of capturing Japanese generals alive. People from all walks of life generally believe that this victory has special significance when the battlefields in the country are quite dull.
Chairman Jiang Long was very happy and signed a telegram to commend the third detachment of the Henan-Anhui Advancement Team, saying that "Yu's troops took a good opportunity and attacked a hundred miles, and gave the enemy a great blow. Special telegrams were awarded." In addition, the third detachment was given a new number, called the Third Guerrilla Column of the Henan-Anhui-Lu Border Region, and was promoted to Yang Tianfeng as commander of the Major General Column, and awarded a third-class treasure tripod medal, rewarding several cash.
The official official telegram has not been issued yet, and Ma Yuming has learned the news from the Military Control Commission and rushed to express his closeness to Yang Tianfeng, and wants to suggest that Yang Tianfeng has achieved his goal so smoothly. The assistance of the Military Control Commission and Director Dai and the meritorious contributions are essential.
"Brother Yang, haha, I will be renamed General Yang in the future!" Ma Yuming stood up and laughed and went forward to shake hands.
Yang Tianfeng put away his depressed mood and squeezed out a smile, which seemed extremely intimate, "Haha, Brother Ma, why are you here? I'm going to visit me!"
"You're welcome, no, we're a friendship in distress, so there's no need to be such a false conspiracy!" Ma Yuming pulled Yang Tianfeng to sit on the chair, smiling, "General Yang, brother is here to congratulate you."
Yang Tianfeng heard it clearly this time and asked in confusion: "Brother Ma, what are you doing? You can't be too joking, it's easy to cause criticism from others."
Ma Yuming took out a telegram from his briefcase and put it in Yang Tianfeng's hand. His chin raised, looking proud.
After reading the telegram, Yang Tianfeng understood in his heart that he was here to buy it. However, he was still very happy about this matter. People have a vanity and are promoted, so who would not be happy!
