Chapter 423: Head Like Rain (4)
Winter in the Southern Hemisphere in June and summer in the Northern Hemisphere in June. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEven in the mountains, the temperature was enough to make the running soldiers sweat. Because of the steep mountain roads, this army did not carry mules and horses, but carried weapons on their backs and carried ammunition to run through the mountains.
The peaks of the Rocky Mountains are majestic, and opposite the peak that the team is passing through, there is an even taller peak, on which several observation points have been erected. Because the materials were made locally, only cement and gravel were used to seal the gaps for ventilation, so the difference between these observation posts could not be seen from the outside. Several high-powered telescopes at one of the observation points had begun to track the apparently U.S. Army team. It didn't take long for a cable telegraph to go straight to the telegraph station down the hill through the wire.
An automatic telegraph was installed inside the telegraph station, and under human watch, the telegraph faithfully transmitted messages. These machines greatly improved the efficiency of the cable telegraph stations, and a large amount of information was gathered at the corps headquarters and compiled into an up-to-date map of the situation.
"Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people." Corps Commander Zhou Xinhua sighed.
If this sentence dares to be applied to the people in China, Qi Rui, the political commissar of the Corps next to him, can probably only express his opposition, and political correctness is something that must be talked about, especially in an army led by the party. However, since this was aimed at foreigners, political commissar Qi Rui could only nod and then remain silent.
The Rocky Mountains are a very barren place, but humans are willing to live in barren but less human beings under the persecution of their own kind. Compared to the flood beasts, it is obvious that humans are more terrible and can bring more suffering to humans. These mountain snakes are a nuisance, they follow the Liberation Army like mosquitoes and fleas, often sabotaging railways and attacking Chinese convoys. Zhou Xinhua's exclamation is an evaluation of these people's actions.
In the face of the commander's exclamation, the chief of staff of the corps said: "The temperature in the southern United States is relatively high in winter, and it is no problem to fight here in winter. The key now is probably to keep the lines of communication open. ā
Qi Rui has served as the chief of staff of the army, so he knows the hard work of the chief of staff. The chief of staff of the corps looked at a high and powerful position, but in fact it was not such an easy job, and his decision was related to the actions of more than 300,000 troops in six armies. Up to now, the size of a single unit in the true sense of the word has reached a new peak in the Sino-US war. More than one million field armies were placed under the command of three corps, each of which had six corps under its command. This scale has never been seen before in a civil war.
Therefore, the words of the chief of staff of the Corps made Qi Rui can only make an 'empty' evaluation, everyone knows the necessity of maintaining the smooth flow of communication lines, and the key is how to do it. The United States is eight or nine million square kilometers in size, and there are still six million square kilometers that are nominally not owned by China. The total number of Chinese troops in North America is now only four million men. Only four Chinese servicemen can be assigned to six square kilometers. According to the number of people on the land, this scale is called 'no man's land'. To ensure the smooth flow of communication lines with such a density of troops can only be called wishful thinking.
Just when Qi Rui was making a judgment in his heart, he heard the chief of staff of the corps say: "The best way at the moment is to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle." First, send troops to solve the American stronghold, and in turn cut off the supply of weapons to these people. At the same time, let Yuan Weiting send someone here to clean. After the purge, we built the stronghold in a half-military, half-civilian manner. The United States is not really in the mountains at all, but in the plains, on their east coast. ā
Qi Rui immediately overturned his evaluation, he actually knew that he was jealous of the chief of staff of the corps. Theoretically, the commissar is the supreme authority in the troops, but this is only theoretical. The political commissar is the party representative and the secretary of the party committee, but the military commander and the chief of staff are also the party representative and the deputy secretary of the party committee. And after Qi Rui's identity was exposed, everyone had a faint sense of rejection of him, and after becoming the political commissar of the corps, Qi Rui felt that his work was even more difficult to do. The chief of staff of the Corps can make Qi Rui feel better than the political commissar of the Corps.
Of course, the judgment of the current political commissar of the Corps is correct, and Qi Rui can't find anyone's problems. At the moment, apart from support, Qi Rui has no other way. If the war is lost, Qi Rui, the political commissar, will have to shoulder the political responsibility, he has the highest status and the heaviest responsibility in the corps.
So without waiting for everyone to look at it with an inquiring gaze, Qi Rui himself said first: "I will ask the theater command to let Yuan Weiting come over." However, I think everyone knows that other war zones also need Yuan Weiting's assistance. ā
As Qi Rui expected, Yuan Weiting was waiting for orders at the theater command. The headquarters did not determine which direction to let Yuan Weiting assist, but the theater command was more inclined to solve the problem of one direction first, so there were endless internal debates, and there was no way to make a decision for the time being.
Yuan Weiting's current military uniform has turned gray, and after a period of tossing, a sufficient number of gray military uniforms have finally been shipped from China. There were 100,000 Goryeo servant troops and 900,000 Japanese servant troops, and the head of this genuine million-strong army, Yuan Weiting, had a class medal on his shoulders and was already a major general. Wang Shizhen's class chapter beside Yuan Weiting is also a major general, and Yuan Weiting's subordinates Duan Qirui, Cao Kun and others are colonels.
Although there is such a class, Yuan Weiting did not dare to exaggerate himself excessively. The million servant army fought head-on with the Guangfu Army, and with Yuan Weiting's command ability, he felt that at most he would be tied with the 100,000 Guangfu Army. If the war drags on, Yuan Weiting will not find the slightest chance of winning. Therefore, Yuan Weiting felt that his level could probably reach the level of the division commander of the Liberation Army. Of course, such a level already makes him happy.
