Chapter 1035: Marching On
It was supposed to be an ordinary day, the inhabitants of the countryside were supposed to enjoy a peaceful life, and in the wee hours of the morning, it was supposed to be a time of deep sleep.
The windows of the house made a gentle vibration sound, and the vibration sound became louder and more frequent! high, so that the sleeping villagers wake up. Curious, he got out of bed, pushed open the window, or opened the door, and looked out into the room.
The autumn rain was continuous, the cold wind was gusting, and in the dark night, many bright pillars of light could be seen sweeping from the side of the road, and the roar of the machine was also coming from the direction of the road.
"What's going on?
There was a trembling sound from the head of the bed, which made the man standing by the door stunned.
"Nothing. Military exercises, military exercises of armored forces. Sleep, sleep
The man quickly closed the door and returned to the bed, the quilt was covered, and after a while, a new sound sounded, but he didn't really fall asleep, he was just comforting the woman with a new voice, but his heart was drumming. Although it is known that an armored unit is stationed nearby. Occasionally, there would be night drills, but this was the first time I had seen such a large scene, and I guessed from the roar of the engine and the shaking of the ground. There were not only a large number of armored vehicles, but also a large number of tanks, and this posture was almost like a war.
"Didn't you say that the veterans weren't making trouble? Alas, I don't know what's going on, but I hope there's nothing going on, and today, the child won't go to school
The man lay on the bed and pondered, then tightened the quilt.
At this moment, there are many villagers like this man, and indeed, the armored division that sorts out at night frightened many people. This formation is truly terrifying.
Just as the residents near the highway listened attentively to the movement from the other side of the highway with trepidation. On this avenue leading to the capital, in a tank command vehicle, the commander of the tank brigade, Tian Miao, was nervously coordinating the actions of the troops. The signal light on the car radio reflected his slightly nervous face with extraordinary determination. "Avant-garde report the situation!"
"Everything is working fine, no abnormalities found. The road is clear, and our department is still advancing at high speed. β
"Logistics columns report the situation!
"Everything works fine. No anomalies have been found, and our department is stepping up its pursuit of the main forces
The working environment in the tank cabin is harsh, noise, exhaust gas, high temperature, and narrow space, these are all things that make people feel depressed, as an armored soldier, you must learn to adapt to this working environment, Tian Miao has long adapted to this working environment, but even so, at this moment, he is still sweating.
Putting down the intercom, Tian Miao wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, in this weather and light situation, the driver actually opened the hatch to drive the tank, and the cold wind outside could be poured into the tank cabin, but even so, the high-speed engine still emitted strong heat. Turned the entire cabin into an oven.
This is a cut tank command vehicle, the cannon on the turret is a fake gun, in fact, it is a hollow steel pipe, in order to install enough communication equipment, the main gun of the tank had to be removed, the only self-defense weapon is a machine gun mounted on the turret, the cut series is the latest tank equipped by the Wehrmacht, compared with the old tank, the combat model of this tank is equipped with a tank gun with stronger firepower, it is a millimeter long tube tank gun, but the production of tanks in this series is very small, and the sixth armored division is equipped with less than fifty vehicles. The main reason is that military spending has been cut, so the tanks now equipped by the 6th Armored Division are mainly old-fashioned "loser" tanks.
The tank brigade commanded by Tian Miao was a trump card unit with outstanding combat achievements, and in the Sino-Japanese Northeast Asian War, this unit also won the "Iron Army." At that time, this unit was only the size of a battalion, and suffered heavy losses in that tragic encounter, and only relied on the tenacious fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers to hold out until the end of the battle, and later, the unit was expanded into a regiment and transferred to the Central Asian Military Region to carry out military sweeping tasks, and has been stationed in the Central Asian region since then. It was only two years ago that he was transferred from the Central Asian station to Nanyuan, and then he was assigned to the Sixth Armored Division. Became one of the division's two tank brigades and was the backbone of the 6th Panzer Division.
In addition to two tank brigades. The Sixth Armored Division also has a mechanized infantry brigade and a number of auxiliary units, which are fully staffed and have strong combat effectiveness, and are the main relying force of the Gongwei Center.
Now that the central government is in danger, the 6th Panzer Division has finally come in handy, and the officers and men are about to march into the capital under the command of Commander-in-Chief Zhao to quell a military coup that threatens the republican and constitutional institutions, and Tian Miao is one of these counterinsurgency officers and soldiers.
Although he never thought that he would participate in a counterinsurgency operation in the capital, Tian Miao was still very excited to be able to follow the commander-in-chief into Beijing to quell the rebellion, as a professional soldier, he has always admired the commander-in-chief very much, and he, like many professional soldiers, insisted that it was the commander-in-chief who led the country to this day, and it was also the commander-in-chief who led everyone to save this dying nation from disaster and make it stand tall in the east of the world. Looking at East Asia and the Far East, the commander-in-chief's dedication is a symbol of fierceness, and it is the hope of the nation and the country.
A few years ago, when the commander-in-chief announced that Shimono was a citizen. Tian Miao, like many people, regretted this, but since the commander-in-chief was trying to show the people the "spirit of contract." "And to set an example for the establishment of a constitutional system, then. Their Wehrmacht generals could only stand tall on the mountain and obey orders.
Some people say that Li Yuanhong is a "constitutional president." But in the eyes of an IDF officer like Tian Miao, the real "constitutional president" is the commander-in-chief, and it was the commander-in-chief who personally created the constitutional era. This feat is enough to shine in the annals of history
According to the pledge made by democratically elected President Li Yuanhong in his election speech, in the coming era, the people's lives will get better and better, the country's strength will become stronger and stronger, and China's international status will become higher and higher.
But as it turned out, without the Commander-in-Chief, this central government was nothing. Although Li Yuanhong is regarded as "Mr. Yes." "But Mr. Hao Hao can't bring hope to the country, on the contrary, in the face of the world economic crisis, the Li Yuanhong government is almost helpless, and even the economic rescue plan is actually from the commander-in-chief of the lower field, which is only economic incompetence, military and diplomatic. Is it necessary for the Wehrmacht to defend such a weak, incompetent and short-sighted central government, which has not only drastically reduced the Army, but also revoked many research projects that are vital to the cause of national defense?
This is not just Tian Miao's thoughts, in fact. When I was swearing in the barracks just now. Many military officers also think the same way, they believe that the commander-in-chief is leading troops to quell the rebellion, which is not to save the Li Yuanhong government, but to save the republican system and the constitutional system.
This idea is very interesting, but it is also very dangerous, after all, Li Yuanhong is the democratically elected president, and now the Sixth Armored Division is going to quell the armed rebellion, and their enemy is not the Li Yuanhong government, but the hostile elements who launched the coup d'Γ©tat and rebellion.
Soldiers may not be proficient in politics, but they at least understand one truth, that is, what the commander-in-chief says must be not wrong, just do it, and when the commander-in-chief says to march into the capital, they will march into the capital.
Maybe it's the unbearably hot heat. Perhaps a little depressed in his heart, Tian Miao finally pushed open the hatch above his head. Poking his head out of the tank's turret, the oncoming cold wind and drizzle lifted his spirits.
"The iron armor is sonorous, the lightning is thundering, we are heroic armored soldiers! Invincible, invincible. We are invincible armorers! Our ideal, forge ahead! Our beliefs. Fly over Guanshan! β
Listening to the sonorous sound of the track running over the road, Tian Miao's ears seemed to sound the "Song of the Armored Soldier" again. That military song is still a work of the political era, and after the constitutionalism, this military song is still sung, but the taste is not quite the same. In the past, the armored soldiers sang this military song across the desert Gobi and the border grasslands, sweeping away all hostile forces, and now, the armored soldiers can only sit in the barracks in a daze while singing this military song. In the dark. The light of the tank headlights reflected the road surface brightly, and the drizzle in the light floated obliquely in the wind, and then matched with the sound of the tracks, with a bit of heroism in the slaughter
"Tom tom
Suddenly, there was a burst of artillery fire from the front, which was the strafing of the machine guns of the armored car. Although Tian Miao was wearing headphones and tank caps, and the noise around him was loud, he still noticed the not very clear sound of artillery coming from the front.
"The avant-garde troops. What happened? β
Tian Miao immediately inquired about the leading troops in the front, and the other party quickly gave him a clear answer.
"The avant-garde has met the enemy and dispersed the enemy's bridge guarding troops, and the highway bridge is currently under the control of our department."
Tian Miao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look to the right, there was the railway line, according to the marching plan. The 6th Panzer Division was divided into two lines. One route was led by the commander-in-chief himself, and the railway drove directly to Beijing, and the other route was led by Lan Tianwei, who rushed to the western suburbs of Beijing by road, and the two roads attacked together, striving to quickly control the situation in the city, and Tian Miao's troops were commanded by Lan Tianwei.
"Attention ministries, keep up the speed and try to get to the capital before dawn!"
Just as Tian Miao was looking over the railway line, Lan Tianwei's order was transmitted through the airwaves, and it was obvious that the chief of staff of the three services seemed to be planning to have a marching competition with the commander-in-chief. Let's see who's in Beijing.
"Beijing, I'm coming".
Looking at the dark sky in the north, Tian Miao touched the tank cap that was already full of rain, then retracted his head into the cabin, and closed the hatch with his hand. (To be continued.)
