Chapter 606: The Last Knight: The Expedition of the New First Army

By the end of May, even those who realized it later could see that the Liao army's advance had slowed down, and although the Song army did not fight positional warfare, news of small battles became more and more frequent.

During this period, the Great Demon King held a continuous and intensive press conference, the speeches became more and more burning, the degree of public opinion control became stronger and stronger, and more and more half-baked representatives of the people who had undergone preliminary training entered the field of propaganda. As a result, the words of the Great Demon King continued to spread throughout the country.

Since the first mobilization on April 1, the results of less than two months have continued to ferment, and more and more regions have entered the state.

There is news that more and more people are working overtime, and they do not need to work overtime and work 16 hours a day.

In the past six months, the first new army of reorganized training has basically completed the process of comprehensive exercises, and with the support of war mobilization and the gradual explosion of rear production capacity, it has officially changed its equipment.

Lacking in time, they only underwent intensive "one-two-one" training, as well as basic training in flintlock and field artillery operations.

There is no more time to go deeper, their military quality is still relatively poor, the four-stage firearms combat method from the Funing Army is a mess, and the personal marksmanship is very bad. But they had to be sent north.

It's all tears to say, if the Funing Army hits a fixed target, the miss-of-target rate at a distance of 400 paces is not even one percent. However, the New Army will not talk about the problem of the convergence of tactics, and the miss-the-target rate of the 300-step fixed target is as poor as 1 in 20.

Very helpless, as the second new army of the Great Song Dynasty, they must be put into the Hebei battlefield in such a state.

Without the input of these new troops, the guerrilla army and militia on the ground in Hebei would have a limited threshold for daring fighters, and it would be a prerequisite not to suffer excessive casualties, which would inevitably make them see hope and that it was a political task for the imperial court to not let them fend for themselves.

At that time, some military systems in Hedong, Hebei, such as the Funing Army and the Volcano Army, were quickly withdrawn to Gyeonggi, and the two group armies (chambers) of the Sichuan Army were also transferred to Beijing, just to participate in the rectification of the old temper of the Fourth Army.

Yes, at that darkest moment, the Great Demon King withdrew his army, and the purpose of the previous ministers was different. In order to maintain stability.

At that time, the Great Demon King did not give support, but he was willing to accept the local pain and vowed to erect the four armies in Gyeonggi as the "last knight".

The highest specification of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is the Fourth Army, and the worst atmosphere is also the Fourth Army. It can't be used if it is not changed much, but during the special period, the country has the risk of pills, and Gyeonggi is very unstable, and at that time, it is very risky to perform major surgery on the entire command system of the Fourth Army, even if they are not angry. If you can't move together, the Great Song Dynasty will change the dynasty, and it will be another Wuhu situation.

At that time, under the situation of a pill, the Great Demon King decisively dispatched Zhang Fangping's descendants and the Sichuan Army into Beijing, and at the same time, the entire group army of Han Qi's descendant Volcano Army in the Hedong Military Department entered Beijing, and in addition, the Anshun Army and Yongning Army, which were rich and strict in the Hebei Military Department at that time, also quickly evacuated the war zone and went to Beijing.

Coupled with the Great Demon King's own team, the Funing Army, at that time, the six foreign group armies were concentrated in Gyeonggi!

In addition to the natural disharmony with the Fourth Army, these guys are also Han Qi, Fu Bi, Zhang Fangping, and Wang Yan's descendants, and they are the best and most useful in the Great Song Army.

These six group armies serve as the endorsement of the special period, and with them, the Great Demon King dares to operate on the four armies in a frenzy.

At that time, the military was unprecedented, and almost no one outside Gyeonggi knew about it because stability maintenance was not allowed to exaggerate the report, but the people of Tokyo knew that the scene of tens of thousands of officers sitting in the pond fish being dismissed, thousands of people being checked on water meters, and hundreds of tigers being beheaded to sacrifice the flag was too shocking.

This is another miracle, except for the great demon king who has the courage to act arbitrarily during the national crisis, there is no politician who can complete such a life-saving operation.

Theoretically, even if the average politician has the endorsement of six foreign group armies, he would not dare to play such a big game. But the Great Demon King dares!

To put it bluntly, the six foreign group armies actually don't need Wang Yan, it is a psychological placebo for other ministers and princes. In fact, the power of the Great Demon King is obtained by the people, and before the Great Demon King was mobilized, hundreds of thousands of people took the initiative to march to demand that the Great Demon King pay, not to mention that after the Great Demon King came back, he was repeatedly brainwashed and mobilized.

In fact, the Great Demon King has the endorsement of two million middle-aged people, and it will take time and minutes to seal all the barracks of the Fourth Army. It is only said that the people themselves need confidence, and the greater the deterrence, the less likely it is that labor pains will occur, and this is why six group armies entered Beijing when they needed support everywhere under the last resort.

In addition, it is not enough to just clean up the original officers, including soldiers, and after a long period of operation, a tacit understanding and small group thinking will also be formed.

So the prescription for this great demon king is: the members of the six group armies of the outer system are dispersed and participate in the reorganization of the Gyeonggi army together.

Now the Funing Army number no longer exists, and it is basically distributed in this reorganization of the forbidden army with a scale of more than 300,000 as a military commander or political instructor.

However, after the reorganization, the basic training is completed, and the reunification is called the New X Army, such as the New First Army, the New Third Army, and the New Fourth Army. The distinction between the above four armies and other military numbers is no longer distinguished.

So in fact, the most dangerous situation since the darkest hour is not on the outside, but in the Jingshi. But before I felt the pain, it passed. When most Song people were unaware, the Great Demon King had worked hard for more than 100 days since he came to power, and had completed this painless minimally invasive operation with absolute execution.

At this point, the first batch of graduates of the new army are ready to go:

"Don't go with the flow when evil comes."

"We hold fast to our faith in the dark night, wandering as lonely knights, not for the purpose of victory."

"Whether it's snow or heat, storm or shower, or dark eve before dawn, no matter how ferocious the enemy may be and how costly. We stand firm in our beliefs and continue to uphold justice. ”

"We may not win, but we will choose to continue fighting until we die or see the dawn!"

"As knights who wander in the dark night, our responsibility is to take responsibility and obligation to protect the Great Song Dynasty from the darkness. This is the belief of the New Army! ”

On 31 May, the new army, which was very poor but gradually fanatical, raised its right hand to its forehead in a reverent posture in the military academy and said the above oath in a neat manner.

The Great Demon King has been too lazy to innovate, and has used the previous rhetoric to revise and change it as the oath of the new army, and has been reciting it for two months. When the first batch of new troops set out to fight, they were familiar with the road, and they shouted very imposingly.

This not only represents their own belief, but also fully encourages other military departments that have not yet participated in the deployment.

The rule of the Great Demon King has become a full-scale fanatic. At that time, competing for the opportunity to "the first vanguard army", more than a dozen army commanders (all in charge) shouted "I will go" to each other, and the fight with each other almost knocked out the dog's brain, and there were high-level people pulling the bias in it.

In the end, the big head soldier saw the joke, and saw with his own eyes that the thirteen senior army commanders were all captured and confined by Mu Guiying. The funniest thing is that as a high-level member of the new army, the most miserable ones who have been dealt with are the descendants of Mu Guiying and the Great Demon King, respectively, Ma Jinxi Di Yong.

In addition, the bald guy Quan Berlin, who works in Funing County, has been transferred back to Beijing, and what makes Lao Quan depressed is that he is a civil official, but he was manipulated by the great demon king who was dictatorial and dictatorial, on the grounds that he had not taken the Jinshi bloodline and was not pure, and he was moved back to Wuchen.

What's even more depressing is that when more than a dozen legion commanders fought in groups for the name of the vanguard, the bald heads did not participate, and they watched those fools fight in a very low-key manner. However, the Great Demon King himself said that "not fighting is a big fight", the low-key and obscene of the bald head is quite in line with the appetite, and the bones are amazing, the commander of the first mechanized field army to go to the front line is none other than Berlin.

The bald head cried and fainted in the toilet. He is also a high-ranking officer, and will lead the "New First Army" to immediately deploy in the north as chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army.

Fortunately, this is really a mechanized corps, equipped with quite extravagant infantry chariots. In fact, the manufacture of automobiles Xu Langshan is good in their factory, but Xu Langshan has now basically become a red-top profiteer, with insufficient production capacity, and mainly supplies the civil field of the powerful to make money.

Therefore, the infantry chariots of the New First Army, including field artillery, are now mainly made by Cao Ji and Ye Wushuang's factories, and the damn coarse ones are a little rougher, but fortunately, the price is cheap and large.

"No more words, please." The Great Demon King, who personally came to see off the new army, said this.

After the whole army was established under the leadership of the corps commander and the whole Berlin, the new first army began to march into the railway station under the send-off of the people, boarded the special troop transport train in an orderly manner, and soon entered the northern front.

It is true that the Great Song Dynasty did not have cavalry, but after ten years of wind and rain, the Great Demon King paved a road for them that was different from the cavalry. Including their 250 infantry chariots and 300 field guns, they will also be transported to the northern front by military special trains to participate in the deployment.

Now it seems obvious that at the end of the railway is the Daimyo's Mansion, and the Great Demon King didn't say anything about the overt policy, but the real large-scale battle to defend the position, maybe it will take place in the Daimyo's Heavy Defense Circle. From that time on, the guerrilla mission of the traditional Hebei Forbidden Army was basically completed, and there would be a steady stream of 14 new group armies that would continue to enter the front line, gradually taking over the largest and most intense battle of Beijing in history.

As soon as the Daimyo's Mansion is held, the dawn of the Great Song Dynasty will come, and the darkness of the various cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods who participated in the invasion will come. Unfortunately, the earth is round, and day and night change.

Of course, we can't think too far now, the Liao State is too large and too strong, and the war heritage and adaptability are much stronger than those of the Song people, so this war is not expected to end soon.

It is to be expected that the battle for Beijing will not be easy, and it is estimated that more than one million troops of both sides will be intertwined at the peak as the parties raise their bets on the decisive battle.

The responsibility of the Great Demon King is to let the Great Song Dynasty support it until that time, and the production capacity is not a big problem, and now it has gradually entered the state and begun to expand.

But it is necessary to continuously increase the deployment of the Beijing theater before that node. If the Daimyo Mansion is pushed out before this, it will add too much suspense to this war for the country.

This is possible, and it is almost June now, and the Great Demon King has barely come up with the first basically usable mechanized field army. Fortunately, Lao Xiao also had his pressure, and under many factors, he fell for the big demon king's empty city plan. If the opponent this time is Zhuo Luolan, he may not be able to wait for the new army to go north to the Daimyo's Mansion and have been pushed.

Because Zhuo Luolan will not talk about face, will not wait for the northern tribe of Mo to participate in the war, and will not invest 350,000 scale, she is most likely to be the first phase of the 50,000 to 60,000 elite cavalry movement, like a sharp knife interspersed with maneuvers to the Daimyo's Mansion.

At that time, Han Qi had omissions, but fortunately, God blessed the Great Song, and the opponent was not all right. The larger the national war, the fewer mistakes made by anyone, and in addition, it is basically left to the national strength to solve, which is a competition of steel flame scale......
