"It stands to reason that no matter what the reason, if you violate the commander's order, I should deal with you......" The major tilted his head slightly, stared at Fan Ming and said slowly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When he said this, his tone was still slightly cold, which made people feel that he was going to punish Fan Ming.

Then his tone suddenly changed, and the people laughed: "But you belong to the 1st Armored Division of the New Army, and I have no right to dispose of soldiers who are not under my command." Your immediate boss, Commander Zhang Jianjun, is a calf protector, so I can't afford to suffer a lawsuit for trespassing. ”

Fan Ming dropped the cigarette butt held in his fingers, stepped on it with his foot, raised his head, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and nodded: "Thank you." I almost died here inexplicably, not to mention the military merits, it is estimated that I will have to suffer a lawsuit for the abuse of prisoners when I turn back, it seems that I am unlucky to go home today. ”

"No, I don't think this kind of thing will happen." The major officer swore an oath: "Even if your charges are enough to go to court, the people I want to prosecute probably won't be able to find you." ”

Speaking of this, the major laughed, and said solemnly: "I just heard my subordinates talk about your various heroic performances along the way, and I personally admire your fighting spirit in the battle, and your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Ming Empire." I cordially invite you to serve in the Praetorian Guard, and I will submit the relevant formalities to the 1st Panzer Division of the New Army. ”

Fan Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this major say this, and then smiled bitterly: "I said, I was seconded here from the original unit and fought several such tragic battles one after another. And in the end, you actually detained me like that? ”

Who knew that the major had dropped that businesslike expression at this time, and replaced it with a very military appearance: "Although your personal will is very important, I will still submit the application report." The Praetorian Guard is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and presumably if he applies for a transfer to a company commander, the commander will not refuse. ”

After saying this, the rogue major threatened Fan Ming with the torture of prisoners: "You see, if you are willing to serve in the Praetorian Guard, then the military justice agency of the new army will not be able to judge you...... And your crime was committed on the side of the Forces nouvelles, so the Janissary Guard's court-martials can't do anything about you. It's good for you, isn't it? ”

"......" may take legal loopholes and use all kinds of bizarre methods to circumvent various regulations, which is another project that Jinyiwei is good at. These riders, who have been roaming the fringes of the law for many years, obviously have their own understanding of how to exploit loopholes. Fan Ming didn't plan to say anything to this person with a higher rank than himself, because he couldn't really serve under these Praetorian Guards in the future.

"That's it! Cleaned up and disposed of the body. The major made a simple arrangement, and a signal soldier ran over, stood upright and reported: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!" The division commander has moved the division headquarters forward to the vicinity, and he wants you to go over now and report on the battle! ”

"Got it!" The major waved his hand casually and agreed. Then he stretched out his hand and patted Fan Ming's shoulder, and instructed one of his subordinates beside him: "Since the division headquarters has moved forward, it is estimated that at least some of the medical team members have also followed, you go to find two better doctors to help our combat hero take a good look at his injuries." ”

"Sir! It was not only the division headquarters that came, but also the headquarters of the group army, the division headquarters of the 1st Armored Division of the New Army......" The signal soldier who came to deliver the news hurriedly added and said everything he knew.

Apparently the major did not realize that so many important units had been moved to a place near his position, and quickly turned around and walked back, asking a lot of questions as he went: "What? Are you saying that the divisional headquarters of both divisions were moved forward here? The headquarters of the army group also arrived? Are you kidding? Is the nearby guard duty arranged? Are anti-aircraft guns and machine guns ready? ”

Because the division headquarters is the most basic high-level command of front-line operations, the movement and arrangement are relatively simple, and the corresponding guard units are not too large, and the scale of communications and other logistics units is not too large. However, if it is a military-level unit, it will be larger and more cumbersome, and it will not move easily on the day of the battle.

If you rise to the level of a group army, you will be a real behemoth. The radio stations and all kinds of command equipment owned by the entire army headquarters already had to be towed or carried by dozens of vehicles, plus the personnel and other supplies of various units -- it was definitely an outrageous collection.

Not to mention anything else, the new army, as a model of the modern mechanical group army of the Ming Empire, has more than 400 civilian officers just for recording and archiving. These officers are only relevant personnel of various statistics and records, and do not include the management of experimental weapons in military factories, engineers, and various mechanical maintenance professionals. If these are counted, in a mechanized army group, the troops that cannot directly participate in the battle must be at least as many as several thousand.

There are also engineering units for support, transport units for logistical supplies, anti-aircraft artillery units for coordinating aerial reconnaissance plus anti-aircraft cover, and of course gendarmerie agencies for law enforcement, as well as teams for cooks and printed map publications......

Now you know why an armored division has only 300 tanks, but still maintains the size of tens of thousands of people, right? The more advanced units are equipped with more advanced weapons, and although their combat effectiveness has increased, the number of people who need to undertake logistical support work has also increased correspondingly -- moreover, it has increased exponentially.

"Not the headquarters of the entire group army rushed over, I heard that the commander rushed over with the army commander, with some high-power radios and other equipment, and the rest of the people are still behind, and some are even on the other side of the Liao River." The signal soldier who had come to report was well informed, and he reported the basic situation as he went, but what he said did not reassure Mr. Major.

The commander of the army group personally rushed to the front, which was not a simple matter in the first place. Don't think that a plot like the Imperial Expedition only boosted the morale of the soldiers, it also left an invisible mess for every grassroots commander on the front line.

"What about the division commander? Is there a countermeasure? The major walked up to his horse and asked questions as he got on his horse, and a large part of the commanders of the Ming army still retained the glorious tradition of riding war horses, because the precious car had not yet spread to every corner.

"I don't know...... However, the division headquarters has become a mess, and many troops are gathering in this direction, and some new checkpoints have been set up nearby. After all, the signal corpsman was not a senior commander, and his knowledge was very limited, and the major saw that he could not ask for any useful information, so he rode his horse in the direction indicated by the signal corps, and galloped wildly.

Just as he expected, some of the Ming troops stationed nearby began to get busy, and they expanded many fortifications to the perimeter, and the troops that arrived later were urgently changing their guards closer to the two flanks. The river crossing operation, which had been stopped, began again, and some Ming soldiers began to climb over the bridge and expand their defensive positions on the other side of the river overnight.

"Stone!" Seeing the galloping people, set up on the temporary checkpoint on the side of the road, the machine gun has been pointed at the target by the soldiers, and the squad leader led by the squad leader carried a long gun on his back and shouted the password for tonight to the group that had slowed down according to the regulations.

"Egret!" The signal corps hurriedly shouted out the answer order to avoid misunderstanding the now nervous sentry post. After all, there are too many important headquarters and command personnel nearby, and everyone has to be cautious to avoid irreparable consequences caused by their own mistakes.

The battlefield is really chaotic, and now there are still small groups of Jin troops resisting stubbornly behind the Ming army, and there are also scattered Jin soldiers robbing or fleeing everywhere. The Ming army and the Jin army were mixed together, and at this time, it was necessary to carefully identify all personnel in order to ensure the absolute safety of the important headquarters.

After hearing the command, the soldiers at the checkpoint also relaxed, the muzzle of the machine gun had been removed, and several soldiers on the side of the road holding weapons began to continue chatting and smoking. The barricade was removed by two infantrymen, and the major and his party continued to gallop in the direction of the headquarters of the 1st Armored Division of the Praetorian Guards on their horses.

Because it is close to the original Jin State fortifications, many troops are inhabited by barracks, and at this time the sky has already darkened, and the troops stationed are strictly lit and fireworks, so at least on the surface, these places are still pitch black. But soldiers could be seen on the roadside, and machine gun positions and sentries were arranged in some of the trenches.

As the horses moved more and more towards the core of the army, some dim lights could be seen, some of which were lighting tools such as candles or horse lanterns in the troops' garrisons, and some of which were battalion or regimental headquarters that were analyzing maps or formulating tactics.

It is already about two kilometers away from the Pu River, and most of them are the former sites of the anticline headquarters chosen by the Jin Kingdom, which is a relatively safe area, so the light control is not so strict. However, it can be seen that everyone is still cautious, and the windows are slightly concealed with obscured things, and only a faint light shines through.

Soon, the temporary division headquarters of the 1st Panzer Division of the Praetorian Guards appeared in front of the Major, which was still very busy, and the voice was muffled, but noisy. The Major dismounted, handed his whip to the man beside him, and walked briskly into a tent with the lights on. (To be continued.) )
