Chapter 173 The Tiger Guard Division attaches great importance to troop casualties!
"Wei Min, it's fine if you don't want to tell me, but Uncle Sun has a request, and that is to be with the Qiao family."
"Don't laugh at Uncle Sun for being timid, and don't laugh at Uncle Sun for being afraid of death."
"Uncle Sun knows that there is no way for him to participate in this battle, and you will not let him participate."
"Then all Uncle Sun can do is stay at the Qiao family and ask you to send troops to protect Uncle Sun."
Sun Chu looked at Zhou Weimin, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke to Zhou Weimin.
In fact, it’s not that Sun Chu is really afraid of death.
When Sun Chu learned that Zhou Weimin had a plan and a trump card, he no longer worried about his own safety.
The reason why Sun Chu wanted to stay in the Qiao family was, on the one hand, to stabilize Qiao Anbang, and on the other hand, to keep an eye on Qiao Linwei.
As long as Qiao Linwei is in the Qiao family, the Qiao family is the safest place.
Besides, if you don’t show goodwill to Zhou Weimin now, when will you show goodwill to Zhou Weimin?
"Uncle Sun, if you are willing to stay in the Qiao family, of course I am willing." Zhou Weimin agreed to Sun Chu without much thought.
In Zhou Weimin's opinion, it doesn't matter whether Sun Chu is afraid of death or really intends to stabilize Qiao Anbang.
As long as Sun Chu doesn't cause trouble for himself, it's fine.
"Okay, then Uncle Sun will leave first. Uncle Sun will accompany you to the Qiao family tomorrow morning." Sun Chu nodded after hearing this.
In fact, Sun Chu is just going through the motions by accompanying Zhou Weimin to Qiao's house tomorrow, because Sun Chu had already discussed the marriage proposal with Qiao Anbang this morning.
Qiao Anbang is different now than before.
In the past, Zhou Weimin had no fame and no strength, and there was also the matter of Qiao Bei, the steward of the Qiao family.
Qiao Anbang looked down on Zhou Weimin.
But now Zhou Weimin is a national anti-Japanese hero and the youngest division commander in the country.
The strength of the Huben Division in Jin is also obvious to all.
Qiao Anbang also found out about Qiao Bei, the housekeeper of the Qiao family.
So Qiao Anbang was very satisfied with Zhou Weimin. Of course, the most important thing was that the story of Zhou Weimin and Qiao Linwei had spread throughout Jin.
Qiao Linwei had no choice but to marry Zhou Weimin.
Watching Sun Chu leave, Xu Hu walked over to Zhou Weimin and asked in a low voice, "Commander, do you need someone to stay with Commander Sun?"
Zhou Weimin shook his head slightly after hearing this and said, "No need. Sun Chu is a smart man."
"He has been trying to show me his goodwill. This time he didn't leave Chidong County. On the one hand, he felt that I had some plans and confidence."
"On the other hand, he wanted to show his favor to me and use this battle to gain some credit for himself."
"These are minor issues. As long as he doesn't cause me trouble, he can do whatever he wants."
Zhou Weimin was very clear about Sun Chu's plan.
However, Zhou Weimin didn't know whether Sun Chu's constant attempts to show goodwill to him were Sun Chu's own idea or that of Commander Yan.
But no matter whose idea it was, Zhou Weimin knew that there was currently no conflict between his Tiger Guard Division and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"Commander, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is very xenophobic. Commander Sun must have a purpose for always trying to please you."
"And Commander Sun has been trying to win over those officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army who defected to us during those days in Hutou Mountain."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Xu Hu thought for a while, and then said to Zhou Weimin.
It’s different from what Zhou Weimin thought.
Xu Hu always felt that Commander Sun had some purpose.
"I know about this. Zhou Liang told me about it, and Chief of Staff Shen Fei also told me about it."
"If Sun Chu wants to win them over, then let him do it. If he succeeds, that's Sun Chu's own skill."
"As for Sun Chu's purpose, it's the armaments in my hands. I can buy some for Sun Chu, but not too much."
"Although our Tiger Guards Division has not had any conflicts with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at present, we will definitely have conflicts with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the future."
After hearing what Xu Hu said, Zhou Weimin smiled and then slowly spoke to Xu Hu.
In fact, Zhou Weimin was very clear about what Sun Chu did in Hutou Mountain, but he just didn't pay any attention to it.
Those officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army who were able to defect to the Tiger and Leopard Division were all officers who were dissatisfied with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
These officers will not return to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Besides, the treatment of the Huben Division was much better than that of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the value of the officers of the Huben Division was also much better than that of the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
The armaments of a battalion of the Tiger Guard Division were comparable to those of a regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"Since the commander knows everything, I'm a bit too nosy." Xu Hu scratched his head and said after hearing Zhou Weimin's words.
"Okay, come here. This means Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu have already discussed it."
"Tell me what the discussion between Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu was about."
After hearing what Xu Hu said, Zhou Weimin waved his hand and said.
"Commander, actually Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu didn't discuss anything, just some tactics."
"After all, Master, your plan is already perfect."
"Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu just used tactics to reduce casualties."
After hearing what Zhou Weimin said, Xu Hu hurriedly said to Zhou Weimin.
In fact, Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu discussed for a long time but really didn't come to any conclusion.
Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Liu Feng and Sun Hu were discussing some details.
Now the soldiers under the command of Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Liu Feng and Sun Hu are digging trenches and moving ammunition in the arsenal in Chidong County.
"Okay, it seems they listened to my words. I'm not afraid of wasting ammunition, but I'm afraid of sacrificing too many soldiers." Zhou Weimin nodded and said after hearing this.
In fact, this is Zhou Weimin’s truest thought.
Zhou Weimin, who owns a war system, does not lack armaments at all. What he lacks is people, well-trained soldiers.
Especially officers. The Tiger Guards Division developed too quickly and has always been short of officers.
There is a shortage of both senior officers and middle and low-level officers.
This is the biggest problem facing the Tiger Guards.
"Commander, sometimes the troops suffer heavy casualties and it's really not Wang Dali, Liu Feng, Zhao Wei and others who are to blame."
"The treatment in our Tiger Guard Division is so good, so the soldiers are willing to risk their lives for the division commander."
"Every time they fought, the soldiers didn't care about their lives."
"Furthermore, the mid- and low-level officers of our Tiger Guard Division were all promoted at a rapid pace, and their military level is not high."
"Whenever we encounter a difficult-to-break situation, we will form a suicide squad. Artillery and infantry coordination is simply not possible."
After hearing what Zhou Weimin said, Xu Hu hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhou Weimin.
In fact, everything Xu Hu said exists.
This is also the true level of most military officers in the country. In the eyes of these officers, weapons and ammunition are more valuable than soldiers.
Of course, the most important reason is that domestic troops are too short of weapons and ammunition, especially heavy weapons such as artillery.
Of course, Zhou Weimin also understood this situation.
That is why Zhou Weimin stipulated that new recruits must train for three months before they can go to the battlefield.
