On the line from Lulong County to Funing County, if there are airplanes at this time, then from above, you will definitely feel that this place is very spectacular, and there are rows of field barracks densely distributed in an area of dozens of kilometers.

All of these barracks were simple, and the trees cut down from all sides were put together temporarily, or a long trench was dug in the ground, and then the cut trees were placed on top of them, and the gaps were covered with leaves, so that they became simple houses.

And the places that were left out of the trees that had been cut down became new temporary school grounds, with battalions as units, full of recruits in training, and everywhere veterans who were firing at the recruits.

Immediately afterwards, the correspondent quickly rushed to the barracks, and the company commanders went to the battalion headquarters for a meeting.

I don't know what the meeting was about, but according to the military regulations at the time, as well as the regulations that followed, it was undoubtedly a very dangerous decision to let us go to war at that time.

When I received the order to go to war, I had only been in the army for three months, and about twenty of them were on the way from my hometown to the camp at the front, and we had only trained for two and a half months, before which we didn't even have our own weapons.

The war was very hard, we had nearly a hundred recruits, and by the end of the war, there were only about 40 recruits still alive, but fortunately, we won the war, and those dead comrades were well settled.

-- Si Wenchang, then a recruit soldier of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 4th Division, 8th Brigade and 21st Regiment of the Qing Army.

…………

Back a month ago, the work of the recruits was basically going smoothly, and the early troops had arrived at the predetermined location, and they had moved into the improvised barracks that the vanguard had made for them, and they had started training there.

On the side of the capital, so many recruits joined the troops, which gave a great discount to the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the Han army headquarters composed of Wang Sirui, Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Wu Yang, Wu Zixu and Wang Shuqi was a lot of noise.

And these people are mainly divided into three factions, Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui naturally became a faction after they came to Wang Sirui's side, and on this matter, the opinions of the two of them are unified.

They all believe that a large number of recruits should not be mixed into the original troops at this time, and if they do not want to have too much impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops, then at most they can only organize new units according to the ratio of three to one, or four to one of the old recruits.

Wu prides himself on being in his own right, and after nearly a year of contact, he has become Wang Sirui's staunchest supporter. Because this resolution was put forward by Wang Sirui, in Wu Zixuan's view, this decision must be right.

And the opposition of Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui, in the eyes of Wu Zixuan, is naturally against Wang Sirui's decision, this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable in his opinion, so the two quarreled.

And the most calm are Wu Yang and Wang Shuqi, these two people have never expressed their opinions from the beginning, although they did not speak, but these two have put their attitudes very accurately, no matter how you quarrel in the end, how Wang Sirui gave the order, what will they do.

"Okay, don't make any more noise." Seeing that his subordinates were arguing and couldn't get started with the swallow, Wang Sirui shouted to stop this senseless quarrel with a headache.

Wang Sirui knew very well that neither of them had any dissenting intentions, and the purpose of the quarrel was just that one felt more rational, and the other felt that they did not obey Wang Sirui's command, and fundamentally speaking, their original intentions were still the same.

"I know very well what you mean, and it's not worth hurting everyone's peace for such a thing. As for the replenishment of new recruits to the troops, I have already made a decision on this. Speaking of this, Wang Sirui paused slightly, this is already a problem that has to be solved, now that the Japanese have the latest moves, he must also prepare everything.

"The 1st Division will draw out two regiments, and on the basis of these two regiments, the 18th Division will be established, and 11,000 recruits will be added to the 1st Division, and all the 3,000 recruits who have been trained in the capital will be replenished to the 1st Division.

The Second Division transferred one regiment out to form the 19th Army Division, and the remaining five regiments of the Second Division were divided into two, and a 20th Division was being formed.

In addition, two regiments were transferred from the 3rd Division to form the 21st and 22nd Divisions of the Army. A possible war after that will be carried out will focus on the 1st Division, supplemented by the 18th, 19th, 21st and 22nd Divisions. This time, I personally served as the commander-in-chief and was responsible for directing the operation. He served as the chief of the general staff and was responsible for the dispatch of the whole army. Wang Sirui directly said his plan.

According to Wang Sirui's distribution plan, the first division after separation and replenishment will have more than 23,000 soldiers, which is the same size as a full-fledged division of the Japanese army.

Compared with other units, the 1st Division has only transferred two regiments of troops and supplemented 3,000 recruits who have completed their recruit training, so in terms of overall strength, the 1st Division is still the most combat-effective unit.

Except for the 18th Division, which had two veteran corps, the remaining three divisions had only one veteran corps as the backbone.

When the troops of these four divisions arrived on the battlefield, they did not dare to guarantee their combat effectiveness, but there was no big problem in letting them take charge of some countermeasures.

And this war against Japan will not necessarily be fought, but it will not necessarily not be fought, and the longer the time drags on, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the Han army will be.

If the war can be delayed until three months later, then Wang Sirui basically has 95,000 people who can be sent to the front line to fight, and in terms of numbers, Wang Sirui's side has an absolute advantage, and it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to send more than 50,000 troops to the northeast to fight.

It's not that the Japanese don't have so many troops to send, it's that they don't have the money to support so many troops to fight.

After talking about his plan, Wang Sirui spoke again: "Now there is no more time for us to quarrel, the Japanese have already taken the lead, and we must be ready for war." ”

"The Japanese have already struck?" Wang Shizhen was slightly stunned, obviously, Wang Shizhen, who has been busy with the affairs of the industrial park recently, has not received any information about this.

Wang Sirui nodded, "The Japanese bought off General Chongshan of Shengjing, and Chongshan agreed to the request of the Japanese to mine minerals in Shengjing. ”

"No, the war must continue to drag on, it is very disadvantageous for us to start a war now, even if we can drag on the war until three months later, although we have the advantage of numbers, we are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of weapons and equipment.

The arsenal had just been put into production, and even with the help of German technicians, the current production was still very low, with less than 200 rifles per day, and we had more than 100,000 recruits, and we simply did not have extra weapons to equip the troops. After Wang Shizhen heard this, he immediately objected.

Although Wang Sirui has adopted an assembly line production method, which has enabled the original production line with an annual output of 100,000 rifles to increase production efficiency by more than 50 percent, the current workers are not skilled, so they can only produce less than 200 rifles per day.

And among these two hundred rifles, there are still a certain number of rifles that have certain problems and need to be overhauled by technicians to see if they need to replace parts.

I have to admit that the Germans are indeed very strict in their work, and under the supervision of the Germans, very few of the weapons and equipment they produce are not up to standard. And the reason why there are substandard rifles now is also because the workers are not skilled, and I believe that this problem will be solved well in a few months.

"Even if we suspend the refitting of the troops, we still have a shortage of about 68,000 rifles, and according to the current production, and the future production of skilled workers, it will take us at least half a year to get one rifle per person, and by that time, our ammunition reserves will almost be able to fight a big war." Wang Shizhen continued.

Half a year, half a year, the Japanese have long since lost sight of how many resources they have shipped back to Japan.

And every time they transport a piece of ore, there will be one more weapon that can deal with them in the future, although they don't care about this, but Wang Sirui still doesn't want the Japanese to be able to smoothly transport the ore back to Japan.

However, how could he afford to wait half a year?

Similarly, Wang Sirui is also very clear that there are some things that he must try his best to drag it back, just like now, the training of recruits has not been completed, and even the most basic tactical essentials are not clear, such soldiers go to the battlefield, which will only make Wang Sirui's Han army become the second Soviet Red Army, an army that completely uses human lives to fill all kinds of disadvantages.

"Hua Ren, I think it's better for us to transfer Chongshan away from General Shengjing, and then order the new General Shengjing to collect iron ore and send it to us. In this case, they will inevitably compete with the Japanese for resources, and even if they don't succeed, it will affect the speed of the Japanese gathering, and if it is done properly, we should be able to buy it for a few months. Wang Shizhen put forward his own views.

"Well, this is a good way, then let Chongshan be transferred to the general of Suiyuancheng, and the former Ningxia general Zengqi will be transferred to be the general of Shengjing." Wang Sirui directly thought of the original historical appointment, and the difference is that after Zengqi stepped down from the position of Ningxia general, when he returned to the capital, he was just caught by Wang Sirui, and now Wang Sirui and Zengqi's family came to threaten Zengqi, not afraid of his disobedience.
