Chapter 611: On the Way
The sudden march was not a problem for these mobile troops, and it was trained in their daily training.
It is usually necessary to have everything ready within an hour and then set off immediately.
And the places where these troops are stationed are also particular, either close to the railway, or close to various convenient places for transportation.
This made it possible to pedal off at the fastest speed, and in terms of preparation, these troops had another characteristic, lightly armed.
The so-called lightness of equipment is only to ensure the lightness of the troops to the greatest extent.
For example, they are not equipped with tents, although the current tents are easy to install and dismantle, but for the rapid troops, the volume of supplies is still too large.
So they are each issued a sleeping bag, the so-called sleeping bag, divided into two layers, the outer layer is a waterproof canvas, the inside is a layer of cotton lining, connected with a button, according to the weather conditions.
Again, for convenience, for lightness.
The role of the sleeping bag is not only the sleeping bag, but also the function of the poncho, which is a multi-functional raincoat, although it will drill the wind at night, but it is more convenient.
The camps for ammunition and other things had a certain amount of storage, and the next morning, before dawn, the arsenals were wide open, and each regiment sent people to collect the ammunition.
Two hundred bullets per person, six grenades.
Such ammunition reserves are enough to support them in a medium-sized battle.
Of course, according to past experience, this amount of ammunition can basically last for three to five days, or even longer.
It all depends on the strength of the opponent's attack.
Pedaling from the vicinity of Luozhou, Xue Rengui was with his platoon, and in one carriage, three platoons of troops were crowded.
This is also the freight car, if it is a passenger car, five platoons of troops are directly squeezed into one car.
What is comfortable or not, this is not a question for the army to consider.
Again, this distance is actually not long, and the railway has not yet been built to Haizhou, so they need to take the train east first, and then get off the train and walk to Haizhou.
Fortunately, there is an official road on this road, although it is not as good as the cement official road, but it is also easier to walk than ordinary roads.
However, as luck would have it, the railway stretched all the way to Xuzhou.
However, they did not drive directly into Xuzhou, but stopped about 30 miles northwest of Xuzhou, where the train could make a U-turn at a temporary depot for the construction of the railway.
And this journey is almost halfway through, and then, it only takes three or four days for them to reach Haizhou.
Forcible march, for mobile troops, this is pediatrics.
A day and a half of train travel can be a little tiring under normal circumstances, but the problem is that it's not normal.
The carriage is crowded, you will get tired after standing there for a long time, and sitting on the ground is even more crowded, and you have to be careful about your movements, after all, there is ammunition everywhere, if something goes wrong, a person in the carriage will be finished.
For a day and a half, although they didn't have to walk, they still felt more tired than walking.
"I don't want to take the train anymore......" Feeling that it didn't seem to be his own leg, Xu Liang looked at the train that was turning around and preparing to leave, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry, I promise this isn't your last time on the train!" Xue Rengui happened to hear Xu Liang's complaints, and directly quipped.
Along the way, we talked a lot and got acquainted with each other.
And in the same carriage, they are all in a company, or a battalion, and in the future battlefield, they will also need to cooperate with each other, and it is always right to be more familiar with each other.
Of course, before that, they were also very familiar with each other, after all, they had been training together for so long, even if they were not familiar, they would not feel strange.
"Platoon...... The platoon commander ......" Xu Liang hurriedly called out in fright, and the whining was just heard by the platoon commander, how bad is the luck of this special meow?
"Count the personnel and equipment!" Xue Rengui shouted towards the area where his platoon was.
The system is complete, all in one carriage, and the position of getting off the train is the same, unless it is deliberate, otherwise there will be no chaos at this time.
After giving the order, he looked back at Xu Liang, smiled slightly, and said: "Don't be so nervous, I'm also a human being, and I also complain, so it doesn't matter if I complain now......"
He didn't say the latter words, but he also showed an attitude.
Whining is allowed in peacetime, but when it comes to the battlefield, this situation is absolutely forbidden.
None of them had ever fought against Goguryeo, but they all knew the name of Goguryeo.
Therefore, even if the current Tang army is as elite as a tiger, it is inevitable that there is still some nervousness in the face of Goguryeo, the legendary enemy.
The fear of a well-known and unknown enemy is always unimaginable.
Fortunately, the officers all received the news, and Goguryeo was actually just like that, not much different from the enemies they usually encountered, and the most important reason why they were rumored to be miraculous was because of their terrain.
Therefore, their biggest enemy was not the Goguryeo army, but the complex environment there.
As Xue Rengui thought, on this occasion, it is absolutely impossible for the army to be chaotic, just one sentence, the five squad leaders have organized the team, and there is no shortage of equipment for the reporting personnel.
The rest of the troops were the same, and then they left the temporary station in the order in which they came.
More people will come here next, get off from here, and leave.
As the first batch of troops to arrive, it was naturally impossible for them to wait here before leaving, and after sorting out the team, they directly led the team to leave here, continued to march eastward, and went straight to Haizhou.
Without wagons, some heavy equipment could not be transported, which was not important because they did not have much heavy equipment themselves.
The heavy equipment of each regiment was organized separately, and in order to facilitate transportation, these heavy equipment were placed at the end for unified transportation.
The troops that set off in advance were only equipped with rifles, grenades, and rocket launchers.
Even if the bazooka is heavy equipment, in order to save physical strength during the march, it needs to be carried by two people, and its shells are scattered to other soldiers, and a squad is responsible for carrying two boxes, so they rush all the way to Haizhou.
Such a large-scale mobilization of the army naturally aroused the onlookers of the surrounding people, and at the same time, the people were depressed.
I haven't heard of any riots anywhere, why do you have to transfer so many troops?
Are there many troops in front of you? Not much, but a steady stream of troops passing in front of them, that's no less.
On the night of the third day after getting off the bus from Xuzhou, a regiment that had set out in advance had arrived in Haizhou and stayed in the camp of the Marines here.
……
"The convoy had departed the morning before yesterday, and it was expected that, if things went well, it would probably be back before dark, and then we would be able to board the ship and set off the day after tomorrow. And according to the deployment arrangement of our army, by the time of departure, about the entire army will arrive.
But there is no doubt that our regiment must be the first to set off, so after returning to the next place, we must strictly control the troops, force them to rest, and completely relieve the fatigue on this journey, and at the same time, we must pay close attention to the ideological problems of the soldiers, and if we find something wrong, we should immediately intervene, report if we can't solve it, and leave him behind if it can't be solved. "After contact with the officers of the military department at the base, the regiment commander assigned a temporary task.
It was also a good choice for them to have two days to rest and recuperate, but what they didn't know was that the previous suffering on land could be called suffering.
Three days later......
'Vomit ......'
On the transport ship, the land soldiers vomited one by one, and the crew members who watched kept frowning.
These old turtles vomited, and when they arrived at the place, they patted their butts and got off the boat, but what about them? On the way back, I have to clean up the vomit in the cabin, otherwise after the next group of people board the ship, let alone how long they can carry it, it is estimated that they will be able to vomit it immediately when they smell this smell.
"Eat!" Xue Rengui frowned, his situation was better than that of the soldiers, because he had trained in this area, although the interval was a little long, but his body had adapted to it after all.
It has only been half a day out at sea, and the soldiers have long lost the excitement they had at the beginning, the excitement when they saw the sea.
It is estimated that if you pull a random person to ask now, he can hate this sea to death.
The meal arrived, but no one opened their mouths to eat, and some even began to vomit again when they saw the food in front of them.
"Eat...... Can't eat! Xu Liang shook his head with a pale face, he really couldn't eat, his stomach was churning, and it was even more uncomfortable than drinking too much.
However, there are exceptions, not everyone is dizzy from seasickness, and some people have never been on a boat or adapted to such days, but they just don't get dizzy.
The men vomited, too, not from the shaking, but from the smell of the cabin.
"Squad Leader Sun, you can't eat it either?" Xue Rengui looked at the old squad leader, as a veteran soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, he shouldn't be at this time.
And Xue Rengui didn't expect that the biggest enemy they had encountered so far would be this sea.
Squad leader Sun shook his head, he could resist the taste and eat it, and he could endure the discomfort in his stomach to eat, but it was uncomfortable, he didn't want to do anything at this time, he just wanted to lie down and take a good rest, and feel the feeling of his feet close to the earth.
Xue Rengui frowned tightly, took two steps forward, and whispered next to Squad Leader Sun's ear: "If you can't eat, you have to eat, even if you vomit if you eat, you have to eat, and there are still two and a half days to go, if we continue to be in this state, after we get to the place, will the enemy give us time to rest?" Or are you going to be driven into the sea by the enemy as soon as you get ashore? ”
