Chapter Two Hundred and Four: Good Speed

The whistle of 'beep, beep, beep' for an emergency assembly resounded throughout the country's recruit camps.

The recruits, who had just eaten lunch and returned to the dormitory to lie down and rest for a while, put on their military boots again, quickly sorted out the bedding, quickly put on their clothes, and finally ran quickly, while hurriedly buttoning the clothes with both hands.

It's not the first time they've encountered such an emergency gathering situation, and after hundreds of tortures, these recruits are gradually beginning to adapt to life here. At least for all aspects of the military, it doesn't feel a little difficult to get along with.

About a minute later, in the entire barracks, the soldiers of each company stood neatly in front of their own barracks, and one by one the officer instructors stood at the front of the team.

For some of those who have performed well and have the possibility of promotion, but are limited to the shortage of posts, the current practice of the military is to transfer these people to the recruit camp, and by the way, to transfer a few squad leaders, who will later be the pillars of this company, and the soldiers who have been personally trained by them from beginning to end will have a better idea in their hearts when they start fighting.

Zhang Tianfang, the first was only a corporal squad leader, and later because of the British negotiating group incident, this allowed Wang Lin to discover this soldier, after the study of the surname of the National Defense University system, he was transferred to the army as a platoon commander and company commander, and later because of his good performance in the Liberation War, but there was a shortage of military positions, so he was transferred to this recruit battalion, trained by Zhang Tianfang himself, and after the end of the recruit period, he officially served as the battalion commander of this battalion.

Zhang Tianfang stood in front of his battalion, looking at the team of more than 800 people below, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, thinking that at the beginning, he was just a small soldier, and he became the battalion commander in just a few years? However, Zhang Tianfang can only think about these things at night when he is fine, and now he happens to have something to do, so he naturally won't delay the business because of this trivial matter.

"Give you twenty minutes to pack up all your belongings, from now on, you have come out of the recruit period and officially become a Wehrmacht soldier, and in half an hour, we will go to the garrison to pick up the defense." Zhang Tianfang looked at his watch and shouted loudly in his heart.

Although the unit was reorganized in advance, but this reorganization made Zhang Tianfang feel a little depressed, the regiment commander's officer only told him that the unit had completed the recruit training, as well as the location of the defense, as for the number or something, even the regiment commander was not clear, for a while, Zhang Tianfang couldn't think of what was so boring here.

According to the previous law of reorganization, each time the number was first approved and then the troops were divided, but this time, the previous law was reversed, and not only did not explain the number of the troops, but on the contrary, the troops were first asked to go to the garrison to take over the defense.

With such a heart-warming move, many officers felt that something big was going to happen in the near future, and they didn't know exactly how big it was, but they could see from the War Department's behavior of directly pulling the troops out without even having time to approve the number of the unit, and it was by no means a trivial matter.

"Battalion commander, what's going on? I haven't heard you mention this in the morning, why did you suddenly end your recruit period? Isn't it supposed to be half a month away? The two company commanders who followed Zhang Tianfang from the old army took advantage of the disbandment and hurriedly stepped forward and walked in front of Zhang Tianfang and asked urgently.

"I don't know, I think this matter is a bit mysterious, just after eating, the regiment commander sent a telegram to report this matter, listening to the regiment commander's voice seems to be very urgent, the commander of the unit stationed in the telegram told me, the order will be sent by the regiment headquarters signal corps." Zhang Tianfang said a little confused, he really couldn't figure out what tricks he was playing this time?

"Wouldn't it? Is it so urgent? And what about our number? If you want us to take over the defense, we must have a number, right? Otherwise, what will we report when we arrive? A company commander asked with the same confusion.

"That's it, we can't report the emperor [***] people, right?" Another company commander echoed the words.

"I'm still afraid of a bird if I have an order, hurry back and pack up, don't delay your departure." Zhang Tianfang shouted a little depressedly.

For example, in this situation, more than 300,000 newly recruited soldiers in hundreds of recruit barracks across the country, all under the command of their superiors, quickly packed their bags and strove to rush to the garrison within a day to take over the defense. Perhaps as a result of Wang Lin's special arrangement, hundreds of military camps were scattered in various regions of the country, and each region had several barracks, so when changing guards, the distance they needed to march was not too far.

On April 10, 1904, more than 300,000 recruits had all arrived at the designated place after the new reorganization, and the handover of defense to the original defenders had been completed. In the years that followed, the defense of each region depended on these recruits and more than 100,000 internal guard troops to defend it.

And the replaced troops immediately went to the northern front, waiting for the start of the war. The two armies of the Red Guard had already landed near Tianjin by sea, and then took advantage of the darkness to sneak slowly to the Mongolian region.

In the west, it was not the focus of the defense of the Wehrmacht, and most of the Red Guards and the Wehrmacht took advantage of the cover of night to sneak slowly to the predetermined location, so on the eve of the war, the spies of the Wehrmacht in the Chinese Empire only discovered some abnormal movements of the Wehrmacht, and as for the specific tasks of the Wehrmacht, they were only guessing at present.

On 20 April, the Wehrmacht troops that had been secretly lurking on the front line of Yanjing had reached more than 200,000 soldiers from four armies, and at this time, Wang Lin's side could be regarded as having completed the task of preparing for war, just waiting for the Russian two sides to start crossing the border and entering the northeast region to fight.

According to the contents of the new plan, it is said that the entire Wehrmacht will enter a state of war as soon as Russia and Russia enter China, and when the number of troops on both sides entering China is about 200,000, the entire Wehrmacht will join the war. It's just that Wang Lin doesn't know how many Russian troops he can attract by doing this. Of course, subconsciously, Wang Lin still hopes that more soldiers from both sides will participate in the war, preferably as in history, and both sides will automatically use millions of troops to participate in the war.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the consul in Lushun suddenly secretly evacuated overseas Chinese! Looks like it's about to start fighting! ”
