Chapter 53: Before the War
The main force of the volunteer army prepared by Song Haiping for the Confederate States of America, that is, the Southern Army, is, of course the former Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Army and the Huai River Valley Army that were withdrawn from the Hawaiian Islands by huge airboats in the middle of the war, and then were withdrawn to the Hawaiian Islands by huge airboats. Most of the former military and military dependents belong to the captive master. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In Hawaii, these people are provided with food, drink and shelter by Song Haiping, and the ships to and from Hawaii are even monopolized.
After this army was broken up and reorganized by the instructor corps of the modern Japanese army under Song Haiping, it began to conduct modern military training day after day -- nothing more than drills, discipline, physical fitness, individual skills and tactics, group cooperation, and so on.
Although these people used to be barely considered soldiers, most of them thought that if they were fighting, it was not just beating drums to march into the army, and the training level of one drill every five days and one drill every ten days was very remarkable.
As a result, in the hands of these Japanese robbers, they could fall asleep with their heads next to the pillow every night when they returned to the dormitory, and for more than a year, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were stunned and did not find that they had insomnia.
It is fair to say that these soldiers were able to persevere, although the training was hard, but they were well fed with meat and white rice every day, and the commanders never beat or scolded or insulted themselves, or simply did not have the strength to think about things -- the gendarmerie and the Judge Advocate Advocate General's Office were naturally responsible for deliberately making mistakes and looking for trouble.
And the military salary is also generous, because there is no time to spend it, and the military salary can be saved 100%. Although they were all Japanese officers at the beginning, as groups of Han Chinese officers graduated from short-term training courses, they gradually changed to 'their own people', of course, the military police and military judges have always been Japanese officers, but the military police and military judges do things fairly, and no one has complaints.
The Han Chinese officers who returned to their posts occasionally had unclean hands and feet, or who formed cliques and used the village party to suppress dissidents, were quickly taken down by the Japanese military police, and after the military judge sentenced them, they were said to have to cut sugar cane in the sugar mill on the island for the rest of their lives.
Except for the Judge Advocate General and the Gendarmerie, no one else knows that every move on the Hawaiian Islands is actually monitored by various hidden robots, which is why the Judge Advocate General and the Gendarmerie are always able to arrive at the scene of the crime and solve the case at the first time.
This is actually a good thing for these criminals, because they have not yet committed a crime that must be shot to solve. With such advanced video eavesdropping equipment, how stupid would it be to be able to get a big greed that had to be shot -- so Song Haiping and Lin Haiyang laid down a rule for the Japanese gendarmerie and the military justice department that the more criminals are caught guilty of crimes, the lower the evaluation of the military police and the military justice department will be this quarter. As for the possibility of colluding with the prisoner to reduce the guilt, the interrogators were from the Department of Internal Affairs, and the gendarmerie and the Judge Advocate General's Office were only responsible for arresting and prosecuting.
Song Haiping certainly knew that no matter how much this unit was trained, it could not catch up with the volunteer army that went to fight in Korea, but fortunately, today's American GIs are not as strong as they were after the baptism of war in the late stage of World War II.
The baptism of war is still quite important. At that time, the British and American troops in Asia only made great strides back and surrendered in large numbers in the face of the Japanese attack, and when they faced the volunteers, the British and American troops already had the courage to shoot, and it has to be said that even white people can learn war in war.
In addition to the former Taiping Army and the Twist Army, there was also a Japanese army, or traditional Japanese army, that is, an army of former Japanese samurai, feudal warriors, and ronin who were trained on the island. This unit did not even bother to use firearms, so the new Japanese army did not need them, and it was a bit overkill to patrol the streets to maintain law and order.
After the construction of the military base in Hawaii, this unit was separated from the police force in various parts of Japan, and then came here to reorganize and train -- it was okay not to be willing to use firearms, anyway, bayonet battles were inevitable in these years, and they were all trained in cold weapons and could not be afraid of the enemy's small-caliber firearms.
When Song Haiping returned to the Hawaiian Islands from the United States, he first gave a reward to all the officers and soldiers on the island, and the soldiers here in Hawaii have a lot of fish and meat every day on weekdays, and there is no need to improve their lives, this reward is a big gold chain with a gold medal per person, which can add up to three or two, and the gold medal and gold chain are 18K gold because they want to make jewelry.
The gold medal is engraved with the name of each soldier, the unit he belongs to, and the date of birth. After sending it down, I also said that this is all for a lifetime, and it is also my own after I am discharged from the army.
According to the habits of the Chinese people, many gold medals have an extra tooth mark on the day they are issued, and many soldiers think that the current commanders are really tired of giving them a gold medal for longevity. A small number of soldiers and officers only understood: this was a prelude to war.
Those who understood that they were going to fight were relieved that Nima had to train for 365 days a year and toss at least 14 hours a day was simply not human.
In fact, it is because there are no entertainment facilities on the island, and there are no basic businesses. They are all young and strong young men, and once they are idle, they will definitely have trouble, so it is better to train. In fact, what can be done in the training is nothing more than basic civil engineering work, five hundred, five kilometers of cross-country in the morning and evening, military posture and queue, live ammunition shooting, bayonet fighting, and throwing grenades.
In this way, there is a 90-minute cultural class after dinner every afternoon, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Sun Tzu's Art of War, to the immortal heroic predecessors of the Han people from generation to generation in the Qin and Han dynasties, Sui and Tang dynasties, Song and Ming dynasties.
This kind of propaganda and education has been fighting against the Qing demon of the former Taiping army is still more effective, some of the former senior leaders of the Taiping army heard this, and their hearts were also full of regret, if it wasn't for the fact that Hong Xiuquan played some tricks all day long, but to make every effort to take Ganshan and Shaanxi first and then sweep the world instead of setting the capital in the rich Jiangnan gentle township, the Qing demon in the world would have been killed and replaced by the country.
Hong Xiuquan's problem is, in the final analysis, a matter of vision, how can a shallow guy do something big. Even Ming Taizu still knows how to call the king, but there are thousands of kings in Lao Hongfeng - in the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan wantonly crowned the king, and even the horsemen and cooks of the Heavenly King's Mansion were all crowned kings.
Therefore, Song Haiping has no regrets at all about driving the Gundam to trample to death this prince-making machine. In the final analysis, Hong Xiuquan has not killed a Qing soldier with a real knife or a real gun, except for pretending to be a ghost.
At night, Song Haiping was checking the list, plus the hundreds of thousands of old-style samurai transferred from Japan, and the number of soldiers on the island had reached one million at this time.
There had never been a day before when Song Haiping could have imagined that he would lead a million-strong army to fight in a foreign land. However, before that, it is necessary to compile the combat sequence of each unit.
Even these terms were imported from the squad platoon, and Song Haiping never looked down on them, and Song Haiping could not understand the sentry system of the Qing soldiers, so he simply established a new military system by himself at the beginning of the founding of the army.
Take the infantry as an example, a squad of ten people, a squad leader, and an artillery team of ten people, operating a short-barreled field gun with a caliber of ten centimeters. Five infantry squads and two artillery squads, plus cooking squad 1 under the direct control of the squadron leader, supplementary squad 1, and communications squad 1 form a combat squadron, and one combat squadron is full of 100 people.
Ten combat squadrons were organized into one brigade, and in addition to the infantry brigade, there were also artillery brigades (heavy artillery), engineer brigades, cavalry brigades, baggage brigades, and supplementary brigades. Song Haiping directly added three infantry brigades, one heavy artillery brigade, one engineer brigade, two cavalry brigades, one baggage brigade, and one supplementary battalion to a field hospital and a military band, guard squadron, and communications squadron as a division.
One division of 10,000 people, one army and ten divisions. (The words army and division are not foreign.) Song Haiping, the commander-in-chief, the million men of the Ten Army.
It's just that in the era of shouting at communications, Song Haiping also wondered how Han Xin commanded a million-strong army.
