Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dead Lips and Cold Teeth

"Each family is optimistic about their children, they will get on the train in a while, but they can't let their children run around, they are really lost, and this train will not stop and wait for you." The students holding tin horns screamed, but the crowd in front of them did not fall silent at all. This is the third batch of refugees who will be sent away today, and the students with the word volunteer on their arms are already exhausted, but they still insist on preaching the precautions to the refugees over and over again.

The wooden gates and fences that entered the station were already crumbling, and if it weren't for the rifle-carrying soldiers inside the fence, the refugees crowded outside the train station might have already lifted the fence and rushed into the train station. When the time finally came, the refugees gathered outside the train station began to riot as the gates slowly opened. "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, every one of you can get on the train." The refugees who dragged their families ignored the cries of the student volunteers, and just squeezed forward with all their own efforts, fearing that they and their families would be left behind by the train.

Those who squeeze out their shoes are nothing, those who squeeze out their belongings are nothing, and the most feared ones are those who are separated from their families or their children are lost. Crying women can be seen everywhere, sweating men calling for family members are also everywhere, and the outside of the train station instantly becomes very lively. The sudden sound of gunfire instantly silenced the outside of the train station, and a burly man in military uniform jumped onto the makeshift platform and shouted with an iron horn in his hand.

"From now on, the number of people entering the pit station will be based on the household standard, and everyone will have to line up to enter the pit station." Military management is an immediate and effective force at any time. There were also some self-possessed and brave men who were not convinced, but under the pressure of hundreds of soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition, the originally chaotic outside the train station was instantly calmed down, and those lost children were also gathered and taken by student volunteers to find their families.

A group of refugees were finally sent away, and the student volunteers and soldiers who maintained order at the train station had not yet caught their breath, and the next southbound train was ready at the station. "Listen up, everyone back off, this is a military vehicle, the military family members get on the car first, if someone robs the military family members first, they will all be killed!" This time, it was the officer who had given the order to shoot in warning.

There are also some people outside the train station who want to rely on their identities and want to go in first for convenience, and they don't want to have a few guns aimed at them as soon as they move, and there is no mercy at all. In the face of the muzzles of the black holes and the expressionless faces of the soldiers, the good deeds who had the intention to take advantage of the chaos to squeeze into the station did not dare to rush hard, and the army would not tell the people anything.

The families of the military had already registered in advance, and the individuals were also given flower cards to enter the station, and all the student volunteers had to do was to get on the bus according to the roster and the flower plates. Those who do not come on time must also reserve seats, but this move is naturally dissatisfied by some people. Many people shouted in the crowd, "This is not fair!" They didn't come, so why should they be seated? Everyone has been waiting here for days, and whoever catches up is whom, and why should they keep it. ”

The officer standing on the high platform nodded, and said in a deep voice to the crowd: "What you said makes sense, all those who agree with him can get out now." I don't pull such a reasonable person on this trip. Brothers, hold up all the guns for me, and the families of our army get into the car first, then those with their families, and those who don't have family members get on first. Catch up with whom. Whoever dares to grab it will beat me, and I will bear the number of lives! ”

As soon as this high-pressure posture was put out, the people waiting outside the station to get on the train did not dare to say anything more, even if they had a whisper. People have no head and no leader, and there is no so-called leader among them, so they cannot form a force, and they do not have the ability to negotiate with the soldiers, so they have to stop the noise. With the pressure of the army, the refugees began to board the bus in an orderly manner, but to the dissatisfaction of all the refugees going south, all the refugees who boarded the bus were not allowed to carry large luggage, especially live creatures such as chickens, ducks and piglets.

Naturally, the refugees wanted to take all their belongings to the south, but the space on the train was limited, so they had to order the refugees who wanted to board the train to carry only their valuables. Most of them obeyed the GIs' orders, and some people didn't want to give up their belongings to quarrel with the student volunteers or GIs at the station, and they could only end up being kicked off the train immediately.

The main culprits of the Chinese army's fight against the Japanese army in the north were the second-line units of the Nationalist army that remained in North China for retraining, and those units of the Nationalist army that were not selected through the retraining also became logistics and engineering units. When the war was raging at the front, these engineering troops, equipped with a large number of construction machinery, only did one thing every day, that is, to build roads. At present, all provinces have highways connecting Kunming, and the old railways have also been extended and merged into the Yunchuan railway line as much as possible. In this way, trains heading south from the provinces can travel all the way south into Yunnan and Myanmar by simply changing routes.

Trains and trucks were loaded with migrants from the south, and when they returned to the north, they brought in food supplies and large quantities of weapons and ammunition. The idea of the main transportation artery came from Zhuo Fei, but it was hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the former national army who really implemented this plan, and it was precisely because of the communication lines connecting the north and the south and sufficient transportation capacity that the Chinese army fighting in the north would have the confidence to fight the Japanese army.

The number of southbound immigrants requested by Zhuo Fei is 10 million, and since March, the number of southbound immigrants who have entered Myanmar has reached more than 60,000 per day, and at this rate, by September, the 10 million southbound immigrants requested by Zhuo Fei will all enter the five South Asian countries. The situation seems to be very good, when everyone secretly breathes a sigh of relief, but Zhuo Fei doesn't think so, once the Japanese army in the Far East and the Soviet army suddenly quit the war and turn south again, all this will be ruined in front of him.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is Zhuo Fei's consistent policy of doing things, and when everyone was greatly relieved, Zhuo Fei summoned his staff officers to conduct a sand table deduction on the war in the Far East. "According to the latest battle report we have just received, the Japanese army mobilized the strength of six divisions of the main force of the Kwantung Army to launch an attack on the Soviet army in the Far East, and the Japanese army of another four divisions is preparing to attack the flank of the Soviet army in the Far East in a roundabout way.

"In order to cope with the Japanese attack, the Soviet troops in the Far East built a large number of fortifications and bunkers three months ahead of schedule, and deployed a large number of artillery. According to the conclusions of our on-the-spot reconnaissance, the fortifications and bunkers built by the Soviet army can at least withstand the bombardment of 120-caliber howitzer heavy artillery. According to the information we have so far, most of the Japanese forces in the Far East are armed with mortars of various calibers, and there are not many heavy artillery guns of more than 120 calibers. ”

"In terms of armored forces, it seems that the Japanese army is at a disadvantage, the kind of heavy tanks that the Soviets supplied to the Chinese army, the Soviets in the Far East are equipped with more than 80 units, in addition to 120 medium tanks. On the Japanese side, there were only a small number of medium tanks and armored vehicles, and the Japanese army was equipped with such medium tanks, which were greatly inferior to Soviet-style tanks in terms of firepower and armor. According to our calculations, if a tank battle broke out between the Soviet and Japanese troops, it would only be the Japanese army that would lose. ”

The staff officers under Zhuo Fei conducted a comparative analysis of the strength of the two sides according to the information they had collected, although their accounts sounded fairly fair, but Zhuo Fei shook his head again and again after hearing it. "What you have said is already detailed, but you have missed only one of the most important things, and that is the logistical supply lines of the Soviet army in the Far East. The Japanese army has the entire northeast as the foundation behind it, but the logistics supply line behind the Soviet army in the Far East is too long, once the Soviet army's logistics supply line is cut off by the Japanese army in a roundabout way, even if they have strong fortresses and tanks, I am afraid they will not be able to get rid of the situation of running out of ammunition and food. ”

Zhuo Fei's words woke up the staff officers present, they were indeed negligent in the most important point, the key point to ensure the situation in the Far East was not the number of troops and the sophistication of equipment on both sides, but the winding logistics supply line behind the Soviet army. "Order, you can mobilize the first and second flying brigades to go north to help in the battle, once it is discovered that the Japanese army has cut off the Soviet army's logistics supply line, the second flying brigade will immediately carry out an airdrop operation on the Soviet army's supplies." After a little contemplation, Zhuo Fei made a decision that everyone didn't expect.

The implementation of airdrop supply support operations for the Soviet forces in the Far East, if it had been changed a few months ago, Zhuo Fei would never have made such a decision. But now it is different, because of the presence of Soviet troops in the Far East, the Japanese troops assembled in the northeast will not be able to spare time to turn around and go all out to deal with the Chinese army going north. Once the Soviet army in the Far East was defeated or defeated by the Japanese army, the Chinese army would face the all-out attack of the Japanese army alone.

It was not enough to carry out airdrop supplies to the Soviet troops in the Far East at the time of crisis, and after repeated too few deductions, Zhuo Fei finally decided to pull the 100,000 umbrella recruits who were about to complete the training to the northeast to receive the baptism of actual combat. Different from the Chinese New Army units trained by the Umbrella himself, and even more different from the Jewish Independent Army, the 100,000 recruits newly trained by the Umbrella can be said to be truly armed to the teeth.

Helicopter gunships carrying air-to-ground rockets, light armoured personnel carriers that can be reloaded at any time, new rocket artillery vehicles with range radars, heavy long-range sniper rifles with heavy machine gun barrels, and all kinds of new individual equipment. What's even more terrifying is that Zhuo Fei also equipped this recruit unit with a large number of white phosphorus bombs and air-explosive bombs, and in terms of firepower output alone, there is no unit comparable to the umbrella recruit unit.
