Chapter 143 Commander Sun’s teachings, set off again!
After seeing the combat effectiveness of Yamamoto's special forces, Sun Chu had to take them seriously.
Because Sun Chu knew it very well.
If the guard battalion was replaced by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in this battle, Yamamoto's special forces would definitely have suffered few casualties.
On the contrary, the casualties of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would definitely not be two platoons, but most likely two companies.
Moreover, it is a question whether the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army can detect the sneak attack of Yamamoto's special forces.
"Uncle Sun, I will be careful. You don't have to worry too much. I will eliminate the Yamamoto Special Forces as soon as possible."
"The Yamamoto Special Forces are just a special forces unit. Once they are discovered, it won't be difficult to eliminate them."
Zhou Weimin looked at Sun Chu and said slowly.
Then he turned to Li Wenshan, Liu Lin, and Xu Hu and continued, "Xu Hu, stay here. The two of you go and handle it first."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenshan and Liu Lin saluted Zhou Weimin and then left.
After Li Wenshan and Liu Lin left.
Zhou Weimin suddenly kicked Xu Hu and said to him, "You are the battalion commander of the guard battalion, not the platoon leader of the artillery."
"Look at your performance this time. This is your incompetence. If you do the same thing next time."
"Xu Hu, you should stop being the commander of the guard battalion. Go to the logistics department and find Zhou Ming!"
"The devils in Yamamoto's special forces are powerful, but how are the soldiers in your guard battalion any worse?"
"Are the weapons, armaments, combat effectiveness, and marksmanship of the Guard Battalion really that much inferior to those of the Yamamoto Special Forces?"
"Yes, your guard battalion's mission is to protect me, but not in this way."
"If you can already lose your composure against a group of less than a hundred Japanese soldiers, then will I be killed if I face a group of a thousand?"
"Go down and think about it carefully."
Zhou Weimin values Xu Hu very much, otherwise he would not let Xu Hu stay by his side all the time.
But Xu Hu always regarded himself as a guard.
Rather than an officer.
After the monk came to the Huben Division.
Zhou Weimin planned to replace Xu Hu with a monk and let Xu Hu lead the troops.
But Xu Hu refused to go no matter what, so Zhou Weimin had no choice but to let the monk be the guard of Chief of Staff Shen Fei.
Although Xu Hu made his choice.
But Zhou Weimin did not give up his idea and still wanted Xu Hu to lead the troops.
But what happened today made Zhou Weimin realize that Xu Hu did not have the ability to command a large-scale battle.
Maybe Xu Hu is really only suitable to be a guard.
Of course, Xu Hu didn't know what Zhou Weimin was thinking, but even if Xu Hu knew.
Xu Hu didn't want to lead the troops either. He just wanted to stay with Zhou Weimin and serve as a guard.
After Xu Hu left.
Sun Chu said to Zhou Weimin, "Weimin, you are too harsh on Captain Xu."
"Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with Captain Xu's command. He's very suitable to be a guard."
Zhou Weimin smiled bitterly after hearing this, and then said, "Uncle Sun, I don't want Xu Hu to be a guard forever."
"Xu Hu is my old subordinate, so I have always wanted him to lead the troops."
"Nowadays, my old subordinates are either regimental commanders or brigade commanders. Xu Hu can't always be a battalion commander!"
Sun Chu was slightly stunned after hearing Zhou Weimin's words, then thought for a moment and said, "Weimin, you are a sentimental person."
"But you are also a division commander, in charge of tens of thousands of people."
“Sometimes, you don’t need to think too much about what other people think.”
“What you need to think about is your thoughts.”
"Of course, those old subordinates who followed you can also be taken care of appropriately."
"I haven't had much contact with Captain Xu."
"But I know Captain Xu probably doesn't want to lead the troops, doesn't want a promotion, and just wants to be your guard!"
"Aren't you saying that you shouldn't have an old subordinate whom you trust very much by your side?"
After hearing this, Zhou Weimin thought for a moment, then looked at Sun Chu and said, "Uncle Sun, I understand what you mean."
"I also know what to do. Let Xu Hu stay with me!"
Zhou Weimin smiled bitterly after he finished speaking.
Zhou Weimin understood what Sun Chu meant, but Sun Chu did not speak for Xu Hu.
Sun Chu wanted to tell Zhou Weimin that one should not attach too much importance to emotions when managing troops.
Of course, you can take care of the old subordinates.
But more importantly, it depends on the ability and loyalty of the old subordinates.
"Okay, I've been tossing and turning all night. I'm going to sleep now. You should go to sleep too."
"It's only half a day's journey from here to Chidong County. If you haven't rested well."
"How can I meet my niece Lin Wei when I go to Chidong County tomorrow?"
Sun Chu didn't care whether Zhou Weimin figured it out or not. He still didn't understand. He just said a few words and left.
In fact, Sun Chu said this just because Zhou Weimin sold his military equipment at a low price.
Sun Chu also had a certain understanding of Zhou Weimin.
Sentimental, impulsive, patriotic, and truly anti-Japanese...
These cannot be said to be bad, but they are not very good for a leader who manages tens of thousands of people.
"I'm still too young. Compared to these people who have been in high positions for a long time, I'm just a rookie."
"It seems that I must not play tricks on these big guys in the future."
Zhou Weimin looked at the direction Sun Chu left and muttered to himself.
Zhou Weimin really didn't expect this.
After only a few days of contact with Sun Chu, Sun Chu had already figured out Zhou Weimin's character.
If Zhou Weimin stayed with Sun Chu for a few months, wouldn't he be completely controlled by Sun Chu?
Silent all night.
The next morning, the guard battalion had breakfast and started to move out.
Because of the sneak attack by Yamamoto's special forces last night.
Li Wenshan, Liu Lin and Xu Hu planned this march for a while.
The Second Company of the Guard Battalion was at the front, with the Third Company in the middle protecting Zhou Weimin, followed by the artillery, logistics, and medical...
The first company of Liu Lin's guard battalion was the rear guard.
The distance between each company is not far, so the three companies can support each other at any time.
Zhou Weimin saw this arrangement but didn't say anything.
Because Zhou Weimin knew very well that the Japanese would not dare to send a large force on the road.
Although Zhou Weimin only brought the guard battalion this time, he also had Wu Qianli's guard regiment secretly.
So Zhou Weimin is not worried about his own safety.
As for the sneak attack by Yamamoto's special forces last night, it was a small force with too few people, and Wu Qianli's guard regiment might not have been able to discover them.
Besides, Yamamoto's special forces only dared to launch surprise attacks.
Yamamoto's special forces team didn't dare to show up in broad daylight, and besides, they suffered heavy casualties last night.
Of course, Li Wenshan, Liu Lin and Xu Hu didn't know about these things.
Therefore, Li Wenshan, Liu Lin and Xu Hu were very alert.
Along the way, whenever they encountered troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Li Wenshan's Second Company of the Guard Battalion would set up machine guns.
Waiting for Sun Chu's adjutant to talk.
This made the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army very unhappy, but facing the dozen or so machine guns.
The troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not dare to move even though they were unhappy.
As long as they saw Sun Chu's adjutant, they would let them pass. Sometimes, they would let them pass without even Sun Chu's adjutant showing up.
