"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a cow on a farm more than 100 meters away collapsed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Beautiful!"

"Win!"

A cheer rang out in a train car running on a railway line. Dozens of Ming officers and soldiers showed either excitement or annoyance.

This is a Ming army unit that has just landed not long after landing in San Diego, and they are part of the 299th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Ming Army. After the landing, after a brief respite in San Diego, where gradual rebuilding had begun, the unit was soon ordered to move to the front. After that, they went to the front line battlefield by various means of transportation.

At this time, the Ming army had actually controlled a vast area from the west coast to the central region. A large area of land fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the people living in this land chose to accept it indifferently, and a small number of people chose to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty. Only a very small number of people chose to resist.

After passing through the Rio Grande Valley area, the officers and men of the 299th Mechanized Infantry Division boarded the restored railroad line and rushed to New Orleans by train. There was the final point of the railway line controlled by the Ming Dynasty near the front line at this time.

After entering the territory of Texas, the Ming officers and soldiers, who were very bored along the way, began to find fun for themselves. Previously, the officers and soldiers in this carriage were competing to see who could hit an object on the side of the road on a moving train. This time the bet was on cows in a pasture not far away.

"Guys, don't indiscriminately harm other people's property." Because the officers were resting in the sleeping cars, only one veteran stood up at this time to persuade them.

"It's all Yankee stuff, it's the property of the enemy." The disgruntled recruits were encouraged by the emotion of going to the battlefield and began to defend themselves loudly.

"This is the occupied zone." The veteran quickly frowned. He could already see that these recruits didn't know where to get the drink, and they couldn't control themselves one by one. said with a cold face: "Now everything here belongs to Da Ming!" You are destroying the property of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"It's just a cow." The soldier who had excellent marksmanship and successfully hit the target and won a lot of money felt very aggrieved that he had just killed an enemy cow. These veterans are so annoying, "Just eat it, this cow is not enough for a company's rations." ”

"You idiot!" The veterans who were knocked out one after another also began to get angry: "That's a cow!" ”

The atmosphere in the carriage soon cooled down. The soldiers who had drunk did not dare to provoke the veterans of the company. Because even the momentum of these people is enough to deter all these recruits who have just stepped out of the barracks.

In fact, the 299th Mechanized Infantry Division was a newly formed unit. Its core is a regiment of a certain infantry division that had been heavily damaged in the European theater, with a large number of recruits and many new units formed after the officers who had just graduated from the military academy.

This was due to Zhang Cheng's continuous massive expansion of the army, which was used to send large numbers of young people to the occupied areas as new immigrants to control all areas. So the speed of expansion of the army is very terrifying. Tens of millions of young native people are assigned to the units after 90 days of recruit training, after which they are loaded onto ships and sent to the front.

In fact, the training time for recruits stipulated by the Ming Army is 180 days, that is, half a year. This is to ensure that the recruits are able to have sufficient basic training after entering the army. This allows for rapid integration into the regular army.

But when Zhang Cheng took power, he shortened the 180-day recruit training period to three months. A large number of live ammunition shooting, theoretical study and military posture training have all been curtailed. The reason for this was because Zhang Cheng continued to have enough troops to fight in the war.

Although it is only a three-month difference, the scale of mobilization and the intensity of delivery are more than doubled!

In a global war of this magnitude, the key is to invest a sufficient number of troops in a timely manner. And the quality of the military will not be greatly weakened by the lack of three months of basic training. After all, the men of the Ming Dynasty began to receive a month of military training every year when they were in school. Although it is far from being compared with real military training, it has at least given the recruits a foundation.

Zhang Cheng constantly formed new troops in the country, and then sent them all to distant occupation areas. In particular, young people who have many siblings in their families will basically take the initiative to receive a recruitment notice. The 299th Mechanized Infantry Division is such a unit, and more than eighty-five percent of the officers and men in this division are newcomers.

Not only are most of the soldiers rookies, but even a large number of low-level officers are also newcomers who have just graduated from military academies, and they are also newcomers who do not have good grades. If it was in the regular elite mechanized infantry division of the Ming Dynasty, there would never be a matter of company and platoon-level officers throwing their troops in hard-seat carriages while running to sleeper compartments.

At the same time, if anyone dares to shoot at random during the march, and it is such an important property as shooting cattle, then there is absolutely no escape from the desperate three-day confinement. A newcomer is a newcomer, and his ability is insufficient, and Zhang Cheng and the high-ranking members of the Ming army did not think of relying on these troops to make meritorious achievements and conquer the enemy. These units will be used as garrisons in the occupied territories, and will be disbanded directly in the local area after the war. Horses only.

In fact, the officers and men of the 299th Mechanized Infantry Division thought that they would be sent to the Tennessee front, where the fierce battle was raging, and no one thought that they were just going to be local guards.

The originally noisy carriage soon fell silent. Recruits are afraid to provoke veterans, especially veterans who have come down from the front.

The veteran, Cheng Kui, was wounded by a cannonball not far from him during the Battle of Moscow. At that time he lost two fingers of his right hand and three toes of his right foot. And there is a lot of shrapnel stuck in the body. After being rescued on the front line, he was soon airlifted back to his home hospital for treatment.

After finally saving his life, he has done things such as awarding awards, giving bonuses, giving certificates, etc., and Cheng Kui, who has served for almost two years, knows very well that he is about to retire and return to his hometown due to injury. Although he was reluctant to give up his troops, the compensation given by the army was very good. Cheng Kui thought about using his military exploits to return to his hometown to exchange for some fields, and then use the retirement money to marry a daughter-in-law to live a good life.

But just when he was about to be discharged from the hospital after he recovered from his injuries, someone from the logistics department took the initiative to find him. Inform Cheng Kui that he can join a new army and continue his military career. And he will also be promoted to a non-commissioned officer and become a squad leader.

And if he joins the new army, he can use his military exploits to exchange a large area of fertile land in the occupied area. It is far better than fighting for land at a high price in your hometown. What's more, the people of the Logistics Department encouraged him, not only Cheng Kui alone, but also all the wounded who were not incapacitated in that hospital, and the women in the occupied area were very cheap!

Cheng Kui, who was already in his twenties and had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, was moved. It's too expensive to marry a daughter-in-law in his hometown, and the retirement money he worked so hard to get back is not even enough to marry a wife. However, if you go to the occupied area, you can simply live a good life with three wives and four concubines in your dreams.

How easy the women in the occupied area are, Cheng Kui knew very well before he was injured. Thinking that there were still a few younger brothers and sisters in his family who could fulfill their filial piety, Cheng Kui quickly sent all the money on his body home, and then joined the 299th Mechanized Infantry Division who traveled across the ocean to the American continent.

In fact, compared to those recruits who don't know anything, veterans like Cheng Kui know very well what their troops do. After all, they have all been in the army for a short time, and they are far from being comparable to those rookies.

Therefore, even if such a serious violation of discipline occurred on the road, Cheng Kui only scolded him and did not pursue it further. After all, it's not a unit that goes to the battlefield to fight for their lives, and it's all young guys. What's more, now that almost everyone knows that the war is coming to an end, Cheng Kui turned a blind eye.

"Squad leader." After the carriage was quiet, several squad leaders, who were veterans like Cheng Kui, began to close their eyes again, but the recruits were not idle. These young people, who are only about 20 years old, are at their most energetic in their lives. In the face of the excitement of the imminent battle, it is impossible to calm down. Soon, someone came to Cheng Kui and prepared to listen to the story: "Tell me about your war in the army." ”

"Hey, hey." As long as you have been a soldier and fought in a war, your favorite thing to do is to tell others about your glorious past on the battlefield. Even if they were frightened by the overwhelming artillery fire of the enemy in the anti-artillery hole at that time, and even peed their pants, but in their mouths, they would become themselves holding MG42 in one hand and carrying a bazooka in the other.

This kind of boasting of a normal mind will not be believed, but recruits just like to hear it. Watching Cheng Kui wave his right hand, which was missing two fingers, his mouth was foaming, talking about how he was unscathed, and killed a company of enemies by himself. The other veterans around him all smiled knowingly.

Once upon a time, when they first entered the army, they also listened to these stories from veterans. At that time, everyone was still fantasizing about when they would be able to become the protagonist of the story. But in a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and this super war that has swept the whole world is about to come to an end! (To be continued.) )
