Sangou knows that he is an ordinary person and cannot predict the future, and he cannot predict whether there will be a war in the future, but Sangou is not a fool.

However, in the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1935), as long as a Chinese with a normal IQ knew that a major war would break out with powerful Japan in the future.

What's more, Sangou is the most famous military school in the country, and knows more cutting-edge, insider signs and news of the war than ordinary people.

All the students believed 100 percent that in the future, there will definitely be a decisive battle and a bloody battle between China and Japan, and a big war that will determine the national fortunes of the two countries.

As for how far this future war will come, everyone is not sure, but we all know that now there are various signs that time is getting more and more urgent, and the country and the troops are preparing for war and the action is getting bigger and bigger.

Military exercises against the Japanese army have been carried out several times, both openly and covertly, and the level has become higher and higher, involving more and more troops and arms.

In an exercise just a few days ago, most of the most elite divisions, the 36th, 87th, and 88th divisions participated, and the chief of education spent almost all of his energy on it in the first half of the year.

Also, since last year, Lao Qin's 36th Division, Deng Bingchun's 87th Division, and Du Bingwen's 88th Division have also been pulled to build a national defense line.

The three defense lines of the Wufu Line, the Xicheng Line, and the Sujia Line have not yet been completed, and I heard that these defense fortifications were designed by the Chengsai Group of the General Staff Headquarters with the help of German consultants.

The first-line defensive positions and reserve positions set up in infantry battalions and company positions are different from the fortifications dug by the three dogs themselves, which are permanent fortifications built of reinforced concrete.

……

From all indications, a brutal war is inevitable, and even if Sangou is not a warmonger, he is no longer the weak Sangou he used to be, and he will not back down and want to be a deserter.

But what about the brothers? As long as the war machine is activated, it will be difficult for all the soldiers to survive, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the common people to escape this catastrophe at that time.

Sangou thought about the private discussion of those seniors who were doing research topics, the Japanese army was beyond imagination, and if China went to war with the Japanese army at present, China would be almost vulnerable in terms of combat power on paper.

Although he can't extinguish his prestige and grow the morale of others, he also has to face the reality, if the country can't resist the Japanese army all of a sudden, will his hometown suffer?

Thinking of these, I can't help but shudder, I am cruel to my own insignificance, powerless to stop, powerless to protect my family and brothers, what should I do? I didn't have to do anything, there was no other way but to learn more desperately, hoping to protect a little bit of my family and brothers at a critical time.

……

Although the school said that it fully respected the students' desire to apply for the subject by themselves, it still sent some teachers or captains at all levels to talk to the students individually, and the district captain and squadron leader both talked to Sangou.

I hope that Sangou can enter the artillery department, not the infantry department, although the infantry department also needs talents, but the artillery department is more urgent, at that time, among the young people who joined the army, the top talents were selected to do the air force, followed by the tank unit and the artillery unit, and then the engineers, infantry, and baggage traffic troops.

Sangou's level is not up to the standards of the Air Force, but there is no problem in going to the artillery department, so several captains have high hopes for Sangou, but they didn't expect Sangou to insist on going to the infantry department very resolutely.

"Do you know that you can give full play to your abilities after going to the artillery unit?" Squadron Leader Shen found Sangou and said.

"Yes, Squadron Leader."

"Then why don't you go? It's not like you can't go. ”

"I want to go to Buke, our group of people are all going back to the original army, and the brothers of the original army are still waiting for me."

"I understand your brotherhood, but don't you think about your personal career?"

"My career? My career is to be with my brothers, to help each other and develop their careers together. ”

"The casualty rate of artillery is much lower than that of infantry ......"

"I know this, I still think I want to be with my brothers and go to Buke."

“……”

Seeing that Sangou was so resolute, Captain Shen did not continue to persuade him, but fortunately, the artillery department later recruited more than 100 people from a squadron, and I heard from the school that if a squadron could not be found, some students who were suitable for entering the artillery department might be forced to go.

Since the artillery department can be entered, the infantry department must be able to enter, and the three dogs successfully entered the infantry department, at this time, several corps were separated, divided into four teams: traffic team, engineer team, cavalry team, and artillery team, plus three infantry teams: the first infantry team, the second infantry team, and the third infantry team.

Sangou's squadron had the best results, and almost all of them entered the first infantry team without moving, and Fu Lianhu and Hao Guanying of the first brigade of the Sangou original army were also inside.

Lao Qin, Da Biao, Black Bear, Yan Wangye, Liangzi, Zu De, Deng Bingchun, Du Bingwen, Shijie, Ming Jun, Zong Wei, Lie Chao, Qianli, Yan Cheng, Zhiyong, Zixiong, Yuan Ying, ...... of the Sangou District Team are almost all there.

Most of them were in the infantry department in the original army, and a few of them were the same as Sangou, such as Deng Bingchun and Du Bingwen, who could also go to the artillery department, but the reason for staying was the same as Sangou.

Not a family, not a family; Some people may consider their own future, life safety and other factors, everyone has their own aspirations, and it is understandable that people are human.

But in the barracks and on the battlefield, the most trustworthy thing is the brothers and comrades who were born and died with him; This brotherhood is not comparable to things such as future and life safety.

Sangou and Xiucai also have a brotherhood of porters, and there is a life-saving grace between them and Niu Gu, after entering the barracks, slowly, Sangou felt a different brotherhood in the army.

For example, with these classmates, in addition to the simple love of classmates, there is also the comradeship cultivated by sweating and bloodshed together.

Although these classmates are on the training ground, although they will basically not fight side by side in the same unit in the future, but in the long years to come, anything will happen, and maybe they will become comrades-in-arms who will charge forward together in the future.

The school is formed according to the assessment results, and Sangou now belongs to the 3rd class of the 2nd district team of the first team, coincidentally, the captain of the first team is Captain Shen Jinyang, the captain of the district is still the captain of Ding Zhendong, and the captain of the step department is still the captain of Gao Jiajun.

General Yi Long, the former commander of the Third Corps, became the chief captain of all infantry and artillery workers (Note: After the 77 Incident, General Yi Long and General Zhong Bin, commander of the Anqing Division, were transferred).

Instructor Zhang Shixi Zhang, the old black, deservedly became the head of the infantry section of the school office, and will continue to take the three dogs to complete the study of infantry command subjects in the future.

The principal of the school has always been Principal Jiang, and it will not change; Other high-level officials, the chief of education is still General Zhang Zhizhong Zhang (Note: After the 77 Incident, the chief of education was replaced by General Chen Jicheng Chen, both of whom were old Baoding. ）

I heard that General Zhang's main energy is now to lead the troops, and now he is still leading the 87th and 88th divisions to dig fortifications and conduct exercises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Second, in the twenty-first year of the Republic of China (1932), General Zhang led the 5th Army composed of 87th and 88th Divisions, with an undisclosed number, as the Shanghai Guard Force, to help the 19th Route Army of the Guangdong Army, and fought the Japanese army together, which is known as the "First Battle of Songhu" or "128 Anti-Japanese War".
