Chapter 205 Recruiting Soldiers

Of course, Wu Yikui still has a biggest confusion, which needs to be solved by Ye Tian urgently.

That is, even if the submarine is bought, how to solve the supply of bullets, shells, torpedoes, diesel, etc.?

Ye Tian was very satisfied to find that although Wu Yikui was tall and strong, he was bold and careful, and considered the problem very comprehensively, so he told him the solution.

Ye Tian suggested that for the sake of confidentiality, it is best not to come forward directly when purchasing submarines and supplies, but to hand over everything to the middleman.

According to Ye Tian's understanding, in the early stage of the full-scale war of resistance, there were many foreign companies in major coastal cities in China.

These foreign companies sell everything, not only food, clothing, housing, transportation, but also arms!

As long as you have money, you will be regarded as God by these foreign companies, and they can take out anything you need.

Considering that after the full-scale war of resistance began, due to the pressure of the island country, the number of foreign companies decreased sharply, and they did not sell arms much, so Ye Tian had this plan.

Obviously, the middleman Ye Tian mentioned is the boss of these foreign companies.

No matter how strong Wu Yikui's connections in the military are, they are not as good as those of the bosses of foreign companies.

In addition, the cost of trading directly in the United States is definitely much lower.

As for the submarine base, Ye Tian said that it would be temporarily located near the Zhoushan Islands in the East China Sea of ​​China.

However, Wu Yikui must also be prepared for the temporary absence of a base.

Before the base is found and built, the maintenance of the submarine and the repair of the personnel may require them to make do with whatever happens.

In addition, in the early stage of the team building, the target of this shadow force is the merchant ships of the devil.

And it is best to sail alone merchant ships.

Only after you are absolutely sure can you attack the lone devil warships!

Ye Tian's ultimate tactic, learned from Germany, is the wolf pack tactic!

During World War II, using the wolf pack tactic, Germany caused a horrific blow to the merchant ships and warships of the Allies.

The wolf pack tactic, as the name suggests, no matter which submarine finds the target, it must inform the brother submarine in time through the radio.

Then, these submarines will set up an encirclement and attack the target together.

In addition, considering the limited number of torpedoes carried by submarines, when the battle situation is under control, they will surface and launch attacks with large-caliber deck guns, secondary guns, and even heavy machine guns.

What made Ye Tian laugh and cry was that after he gave Wu Yikui a detailed popular science on the wolf pack tactics, Wu Yikui admired him very much and kept giving him a thumbs up.

Yes, these tactics have been tested many times in actual combat and are very feasible.

Wu Yikui was very straightforward, and with his hatred for the devils, he immediately said that it was time to recruit soldiers.

After taking the Tianmu Shenlu, carrying the life-saving Dahuan Dan, and holding a huge amount of funds, Wu Yikui was full of heroic spirit and said that he would worship Ye Tian as his big brother no matter what.

In this situation, Ye Tian really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He was not as old as the other party, and his height was 16 cm shorter than the other party, but he was facing the situation of taking him as a younger brother.

But Wu Yikui's attitude was very firm. He said that Ye Tian's military literacy was much higher than his, and he had a second life for him, so he was qualified to be his elder brother. Unable to bear his repeated requests, Ye Tian agreed.

So, after Wu Yikui went out to buy a plane ticket to the island country, Ye Tian gave him a lot of tips in person.

Not long after Wu Yikui left in the afternoon, Ye Tian also checked out and swaggered around the entire Hongzhou City.

Of course, Ye Tian's target was the compound of the Japanese squadron.

It was going to happen in the evening. Even if Ye Tian's military literacy was not high, necessary reconnaissance work was still necessary.

The more skilled, the bolder. The more skilled.

Ye Tian found Ding Yuanrong again, hoping that he could take him to the Japanese military camp.

What made Ye Tian laugh and cry was that Ding Yuanrong actually strongly requested that he go to see his daughter and "Ninth Aunt" first.

For Ding Yuanrong's request, Ye Tian was embarrassed to refuse, so he smiled and agreed.

What made Ye Tian happy was that, perhaps because he was the first man of these two women, or perhaps because they were frightened by him, they were extremely gentle and happy to serve him.

With ecstasy, after pushing them down one by one again, under the leadership of Ding Yuanrong, Ye Tian successfully entered the Japanese army camp.

According to Ye Tian's prior order, after finding the Japanese squadron leader Ogawa Yoshino, Ding Yuanrong gave him a surprise with a flattering smile.

In recent times, Ogawa Yoshino's life has not been very good.

Ogawa Yoshino is a standard island soldier, deeply brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido and militarism, and is an extremely fanatical Japanese.

In his mind, a man should often appear on the battlefield.

If you are unlucky and die on the battlefield, it doesn't matter, it's glorious!

After death, the ashes are placed in the shrine, and it is something that Ogawa Yoshino likes to enjoy the kneeling of others forever.

Like most soldiers, Ogawa Yoshino is also ambitious and wants to climb up as much as possible.

Ogawa Yoshino knew very well that he came from a poor family and had no big boss to help him. If he wanted to climb higher, he had to rely on military merit.

Relying on his hard training in the recruit camp and his efforts after becoming an active soldier, Ogawa Yoshino became a squadron leader, had 180 subordinates, and got the rank of captain as he wished.

However, driven by strong ambition, he wanted to go one step further and become a major battalion commander who could manage 1,100 people, or even further.

In the Japanese army, except for the honorary title of marshal, the military ranks from low to high are soldier, non-commissioned officer, lieutenant, lieutenant, and general officer.

From low to high, the soldiers are privates, privates, and privates.

In the Japanese squad, the squad leader's rank is sergeant, and the deputy squad leader is a sergeant, both of whom are corporals.

Military academy graduates, or deputy squad leaders, are higher-level non-commissioned officers with a rank of warrant officer.

When you become the squad leader of a squad of 54 people, your rank is second lieutenant.

Going one step further, you become a deputy squadron leader, and your rank is lieutenant.

A squadron leader like Ogawa Yoshino manages 180 Japanese soldiers and has a rank of captain.

The battalion commander who manages 1,100 Japanese soldiers has a rank of major.

The deputy commander of the infantry regiment, or the commander of the cavalry regiment, has a rank of lieutenant colonel.

The commander of a regiment commanding 3,800 troops has a rank of colonel.

Above colonel, the rank is general.

A brigade generally contains 2-3 regiments, and the rank of the brigade commander is major general.

A Japanese division has about 20,000 troops, including 3 infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a logistics regiment, an engineering regiment, a cavalry regiment, etc.

The rank of the division commander is lieutenant general.

The commander of several divisions is the commander of the front, and the rank of such a Japanese is general.
