The speed of the tram is not fast, it probably maintains a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, and the camp of the new army is not in the Baotou Industrial Zone, he is in the suburbs of Baotou, which is connected by the gray road, and the speed of about 30 kilometers per hour passes, and it takes an hour.

Especially after leaving the urban area, only a few citizens also got off the bus, and those who stayed in the car were soldiers, which was more comfortable for the three people who were old in the army, and after a few stops, more soldiers came up, and the car was slightly crowded, but under the neat standing and sitting posture, this tram was as neat as the inspection group, and there was no previous feeling of crowding together.

Sanjie looked at these soldiers, and the soldiers also looked at Sanjie curiously, but the soldiers and officers in Baotou came from all directions, and many officers were too, although it caused a little contradiction, but it also let everyone understand that these may be new officers who came to Baotou.

The tram finally reached the end, here is about a kilometer away from the barracks, Sanjie doesn't even need to ask for directions, just follow these suspected soldiers, but, about ten minutes away, most of these soldiers have entered a small room, which doesn't look like a barracks, small rooms one by one, it seems that there are specially dressed in military uniforms in management.

The three of them all showed puzzled expressions, but soon, they knew what kind of place this was, it seemed to be a dressing room, and Baotou didn't seem to allow soldiers to wear () military uniforms to enter the city, so on the outside of the barracks, such a huge dressing room was built, and the soldiers would change their clothes here, before on the tram. The small bags they saw in the hands of the soldiers were not the ones they bought. And all in military uniforms, at this time. After changing his clothes, he wore a neat military uniform, which belonged to the demeanor of a soldier, and suddenly came to his face.

"Sure enough, it's an army of steel, I don't know how many elite soldiers there are!" Cai Ye said with emotion.

The military is a violent machine, and a national machine, whether you want it or not. When wearing a military uniform, everyone is neat, the feeling is completely different, if before, Sanjie just sighed that Baotou training is good, at this time, even if it is an ordinary person, it can be seen that this soldier is really well-trained. Baotou almost portrays discipline and training into the bones of every soldier, once they put on the military uniform, the spirit and temperament of the soldiers. It's completely different.

The military uniform is still the same as the Beiyang Army, but the epaulettes seem to be slightly different, and Sanjie doesn't care. Anyway, sooner or later, you have to know, follow along the way. After a while, it stopped in front of a huge barracks. The three of them first looked at this camp, the whole camp is a semi-permanent camp, there are 10 huge turrets on all sides, the sentries are on top of the turret, above the turret, there are four heavy machine guns, their gun barrels, are focused on all directions, waiting for possible enemies, on the outside of the camp, almost 100 meters, layer by layer of barbed wire, pulled four or five layers, the most important thing is that in addition to the turret, there are also trenches, and the soldiers on duty are also on strict guard there, The entire barracks are very well protected.

"Very good, I'm afraid this is the most heavily protected military camp in China!" Cai Ye has walked through a lot of new troops, and even seen the six towns of the Beiyang Army, but there are not many military camps, with enough protection, they are still the kind of old-style military camps, the interior is chaotic, the outside is only a few sentinels to protect, and even the girls in the eight alleys can enter the barracks smoothly, all of them are sieves.

The most critical time, Jiang Baili noticed, just outside the barracks, there are more than 60 Makqin, Makqin machine guns, this is the biggest gain of going to Germany, when staying in Japan, pay attention to the ability of individual soldiers, pay attention to courage, pay attention to the white-knuckle battle, this kind of combat thinking, a certain Cheng dù, affected the whole of China, China from 1894 after the First Sino-Japanese War, many aspects are learning from Japan, but also created, in the Republic of China melee period, warlords everywhere basically fought like this.

Went to Germany, this is different, mechanization, artillery fire and machine guns, instead of white-knuckle warfare, instead of courage, in the face of the steel products produced by science and technology, no one can enter the battle line in the barrage of Makqin, let alone heavy artillery, 155 heavy artillery, one cannon down, a square radius of one zhang or even a few zhang, there is no dead end of death and no burial of monks, this is not something that flesh and blood can resist.

"There are so many Makqin in this association!" Cai Yi sighed, didn't care much, has been staying in the country, he doesn't know much about Makqin, Makqin is relatively expensive, a committee 1888, but 45 yuan, with bullets, that is, fifty or sixty, but the price of a Makqin is at least 700 yuan, if you add 1000 bullets, the price will be higher, to 800, for the new army in the hands of no money, with this, it is better to buy 20 more rifles, the same firepower projection ability, even more.

Jiang Baili didn't say much about Cai Yi's thoughts, after all, this is not an essential problem, it is a problem that has not been seen, Germany has his advanced place, but China also has the actual situation of China, fighting a war is to fight money, but China is just short of money, the same equipment, the German Army buys it at one price, and it is another price when it is transported to China, and if it cannot be manufactured by itself, it can only accept the exploitation of others, and if it is backward, it will be beaten, and it is becoming more and more backward.

When Cai Ye and the three of them walked to the front of the barracks, Cai Ye noticed that at least the machine guns of the turret were aimed at them, if there was any abnormal movement, I am afraid that these firepower would quickly tear them to pieces, at this time, it was a fool, and they would not take a step forward.

Cai Ye was not prepared to storm the barracks, he just wanted to come and see, and reported to the sentry: "We are invited to visit!" ”

"Please leave your name!" Cai Ye and the three of them came to the registration room next to them according to the instructions of the sentry, and the sentry asked him to leave his name, and they also stayed, and even wrote down the origin.

Lu Shi graduated, the sentry looked at them twice, Lu Shi in China's military, it is still a very hard brand, Baotou is the same, only a few Lu Shi graduates, are high-level, such people, maybe it is the old of the chief, so they are also polite, when they go in to report, they also ask someone to invite them into the room to rest.

"Seemingly enthusiastic, very vigilant, this sentry is a good soldier!" Sitting in the lounge, Zhang Xiaohuai said with some emotion.

"More than that, Songpo, have you noticed, whether it is the soldiers on the turret, or the soldiers on duty in the trenches, they are all on full vigilance, they are motionless for such a long time, such a su zhì, must have an iron will, from this point of view, this new army is well trained, very interesting!"

The three of them are all officers, and Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai are interning in the German Army, with the help of Yang Yuanzhao, they not only interned in the grassroots companies, but even entered the regiment, division such a command organization, if possible, Yang Yuanzhao even wants them to enter the supreme command, but unfortunately that is impossible, it is the highest glory of the German army, even if it is almost a German, can not enter, a foreigner, it is even more impossible, even if Harpy's influence is strong, it is impossible.

Even so, Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai have also received excellent training, and their knowledge and eyes are far from being comparable to those they were 3 years ago, when they just graduated from Lu Shi, not to mention Cai Yi, who has seen the loose and sloppy new army, looking at the army here, how to look at it, how comfortable.

Jiang Baili's gaze finally loosened from the soldier's body, he began to observe the endless barracks, looked at it, seemed to notice something, counted carefully, was a little stunned, stood up again and looked carefully, and then said: "Xiaohuai, Songpo, have you noticed that this barracks is a bit big." ”

"Great, isn't that all the barracks?" Cai Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jiang Baili would not open his heart, he looked around the barracks from the perspective of scrutiny, and suddenly said: "Yes, if you look at a standard, that is, three or four thousand people, this is still full, and without empty salaries, the current barracks cover an area of at least hundreds of acres, and they are not all bungalows, all of them are three- or four-story buildings, even if they are relatively sparsely arranged, this barracks can accommodate at least one town." ”

"Could it be that the new army in Baotou is not an association, but a town!" Zhang Xiaohuai said in a lost voice, the difference between the town and the association, the three of them are very clear, the entire new army is based on Beiyang, the north is based on the town, the town is equivalent to the division or division of the Japanese army or the German army, there will generally be 16,000-23,000 people, this is a huge army, as for the association in general, it will not exceed 5,000 people, Baotou is applying for approval is a new army association, not a town, if it is really a town as a unit, the combat effectiveness of this new army, I am afraid it is really a terrible anomaly.

"It seems that everyone has underestimated Baotou, if it is a town, with their military qualities and personnel, I am afraid it is no worse than the six towns of Beiyang." Zhang Xiaohuai also said, as far as the military appearance and style seen so far, if it is not an individual case, but a whole, this new army is really no worse than the six towns of Beiyang, or even stronger.

The six towns of Beiyang have always been China's strong army, which is recognized by everyone, and the Qing Dynasty would have died long ago if it had not been backed by the Beiyang Army, so in China, the Beiyang Army is the best yardstick if the army is used as the standard.

"Songpo, I'm afraid you underestimate this new army!" Jiang Baili pointed to the side and said, "This new army is definitely not simple. (To be continued......) R1292
