Chapter 239: Training in Parallel Progress
"Not to mention the coastal areas of our Tang Dynasty, even the Yangtze River Basin is occupied by the devils. If our navy wants to go out, we must first recover the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so I think the frigate is the top priority!"
"You should not be so narrow-minded. With the warships provided by the young marshal, it will be easy to drive the Japanese out of our inland river area. So I think that the navy's strength should be developed in a balanced way. Whether it is frigates, destroyers, or the marines, they should all go hand in hand. As long as we are out of the inland river, we will have the ability to fight a full battle!"
"It's easy for you to say that we can get out of the inland river. We can't even get out of Fenglingdu now, so how can we talk about getting to the coast? First, we need to improve the combat effectiveness of the frigates, and then we will recover the inland and then the coast. This is a process that needs to be done step by step. It can't be achieved in a few steps!"
"You also know that Fenglingdu can't get out? The navy's first battle is destined to be on the coast. It is impossible to deploy in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River first after having the ability to deploy in the future? Don't tell me you want to fight slowly from the mountain city! With such powerful warships, we can directly cut off the retreat of the Japanese warships in the inland rivers. Wouldn't that be a permanent solution?"
"Now the coast of Datang has been completely blocked by the devils. How can we start from the coast? The only way is to start from the mountain city and move out step by step. This is the safest way!"
......
Bai Shiyi and Ren Woxing had a fierce argument about how to train the navy.
The navy has a really bad temper. Bai Shiyi, a major general, actually dared to go against his immediate superior without showing any mercy.
After all, Ren Woxing was the temporary naval commander appointed by Xu Le, but Bai Shiyi did not take this commander seriously at all.
This was a naval meeting, attended only by Xu Le, Ren Woxing, and several important naval officers led by Bai Shiyi.
Now everyone holds their own views and they have been arguing for most of the day without any result!
Xu Le couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up and yelled, "Enough, what's there to argue about?"
Seeing that the commander was angry, Bai Shiyi signaled the other officers to shut up.
In fact, neither of them was wrong. Ren Woxing was a system member and knew that Xu Le could take out the warship anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, as long as the army reaches the coast, the warships can be taken out immediately and put into combat at any time.
But Bai Shiyi didn't know about this. If they relied on the army to fight to the coast and then spent a lot of time to mobilize warships, it would probably take several months.
Therefore, Bai Shiyi believes that naval vessels should be deployed in the area currently controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and then attack from the inside out.
This is indeed normal practice.
But Bai Shiyi's statement was also wrong, because Xu Le was a hacker and it only took a few seconds to deploy the warships!
"In fact, I have already considered the training mission for you. Otherwise, why would I get two frigates, two destroyers, and 11 landing ships?
I just hope that all our naval forces can grow at the same time!
Of course, Bai Shiyi's starting point is correct, but you don't know the special method of transporting equipment in our army. I can only tell you that what you are concerned about is basically not a problem. "
If Ren Woxing said this, Bai Shiyi would definitely not believe it, but since it was the army commander who said it, Bai Shiyi thought about how the army commander had obtained so many warships in a short period of time, and felt that the army commander was right.
Moreover, there was no reason for his own commander to lie to him. If the navy was really needed in the future and the commander could not provide warships, all the navy would be finished.
But the commander couldn't possibly joke about the lives of tens of thousands of naval soldiers!
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Since the commander has said so, then we will follow his wishes. Please give us your instructions on what to do specifically!"
Bai Shiyi finally nodded, but he still seemed a little unconvinced. Not to Xu Le, but to Ren Woxing.
He was once a direct descendant of Commander Jiang of the National Guard Army, and Commander Jiang's direct descendant had another name, called the Central Army.
It’s just that now that the whole country is united in the war of resistance, all the local armies and the central army are confused, so people now simply call the central army the National Guard.
He had been here for several months, and although he had several talks with the Political Department, he had not yet completely integrated into the 88th Army.
This is also the reason why he has been calling Xu Le the army commander instead of the young marshal for so long.
Calling someone army commander is only necessary when communicating with superiors and subordinates in military positions.
And the young marshal is one step closer.
His identity as a member of the Central Army was destined not to change so quickly.
Unlike Lu Biao and Dai Ming, they, like Xu Le, came from the Sichuan-Kang local army, so they quickly recognized Xu Le's status as the young marshal.
As for the other exception, it is Wei Junjun. Wei Junjun is standing from the perspective of national justice. It doesn’t matter to him what the title is, as long as he can resolutely fight against the Japanese invaders.
Seeing that everyone had stopped, Xu Le stroked his forehead lightly, indicating that he was a little tired.
I was thinking about whether I should replace Ren Woxing. This guy is not suitable to be a commander and he likes to argue. If you explain it nicely, Bai Shiyi will not bring his men to argue with you.
"We currently have 1 naval officers and soldiers. Bai Shiyi, your first task is to select outstanding soldiers and form frigate crews and destroyer crews into as many groups as possible.
Then we can separate the remaining people who have the potential to become combat ship crew members and give them more training in the future.
As for the remaining people, I estimate that there will be more than half! Incorporate them into the Marine Corps and then simulate beach landing training!
You can also send people to the recruit camp to watch over there, and if you find anyone suitable to become a navy soldier, you can recruit them over!
You don't have to worry about the rest, I will make arrangements when the time comes!"
"I have no objection!" Bai Shiyi thought about it and nodded in agreement: "But I have a condition! Unless it is some necessary training subjects, I hope the instructors will not participate in my training. I have my own training methods!"
Xu Le hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ren Woxing, and seeing him nod, he agreed.
"How about this, before the Navy is officially established, you will be the chief instructor. You decide how to train, and the instructors will not be involved in your training plan. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask the instructors for advice!
But let me make it clear to you in advance, my ships are far from being as simple as you think, and the training is definitely inseparable from the instructor group, so I have selected 50 people from the guard team to give them to you.
If the navy fails in future operations, you will be the first person I will hold responsible!"
The reason why Xu Le agreed was because he had long learned from Xu Da that although the guards were omnipotent, they were not top-notch in all aspects.
If the Guard scores 100 points in army combat, its ability in the air force is 80 points, and when it comes to the navy it only scores 60 points, which is just passing.
Moreover, the guard team members are strong in individual combat, not in guiding training or commanding battles.
He had predicted long ago that a member of the escort team could at most serve as a division commander in the army. If he were to join the navy, he would not even be able to serve as the captain of a frigate.
The purpose of him transferring 50 guards here was mainly to teach the naval members how to use electronic equipment and how to fully utilize the performance of the warships.
If compared with Major General Bai Shiyi, who has served in the army for 20 years, the others are definitely far behind.
The navy's training was scheduled, which caused chaos in the already crowded recruit camp.
Nowadays, there are always people from the Army Division, Artillery Brigade, Armed Forces Department, and Air Force guarding the recruit camps. Once they find a good seedling, they will grab it away immediately.
Now a group of navy men in white uniforms have arrived to guard the place, and the fight for troops is becoming more and more intense.
The Health Department was quite relaxed. Doctors and nurses who joined the army would voluntarily report to the Health Department, and there was no need to send anyone to grab them.
