On the morning of 21 July, from the Himalayas to the Tanggula Mountains, from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, millions of young men and women holding "identity cards of the Chinese Federation" walked into thousands of military camps scattered all over the country.

According to the general mobilization order, before September 1, 5 million young and middle-aged men and 500,000 women will be mobilized, and 2.3 million people will be mobilized in 42 infantry corps and 126 divisions; 10 divisions of armored corps, 200,000 people; 200,000 in 10 divisions of the Air Force; 2.8 million logistics troops.

The scale and scale of this expansion is unprecedented, but it is not as difficult to complete as it seems.

At present, within the control of the Sichuan army, there are 1.1 million people who have served in the army, and among these people, 600,000 will put on military uniforms again, plus the 300,000 troops on active duty, a total of 900,000 backbones.

With a backbone of 900,000 and 1.8 million recruits, it is not difficult to make the troops combat effective in four months.

The mobilization of 5.5 million troops will not have much impact on industrial and agricultural production for Xie Niancheng, who has a population of 260 million within his control.

After the general mobilization order was implemented, the number of registrations rose faster than the most optimistic estimates had been made.

In the thousands of registration points throughout the controlled territory, on the first day, 1.2 million people were registered; On August 1, 6.7 million people signed up to join the army, far beyond everyone's expectations.

On August 2, Xie Niancheng took a few guards and personally went to a recruiting point in Chengdu.

The gates of the recruiting point were closed, but there were thousands of people gathered outside. These people, both men and women. They range in age from seventeen or eighteen to forty.

Xie Niancheng, who was in casual clothes, blended in with the crowd and asked a middle-aged man next to him who looked to be about forty years old: "This master, the general mobilization of the federal government has made it very clear." Recruitment requires more than one son in the family, and then an unmarried young man enters the front-line army. Even if it is a logistics force, it is required to be under the age of thirty, and I think you seem to be more than thirty. ”

The middle-aged man was a little anxious: "Who said I was more than thirty, let me tell you, I look old, and I am only twenty-seven years old this year!" ”

Xie Niancheng whispered: "Master." Don't fool me, by the way, do you have anyone at home? That's how you came to sign up for the army. Wife and children don't care? ”

The middle-aged man also whispered: "Brother, let's tell you the truth, my wife didn't let me come at first, and finally I asked her, 'Are you human?' Do you remember who we were? You were originally a barbarian village girl who took care of the livestock. I'm just a long-term worker in the mountains of northern Sichuan! It's Commander-in-Chief Xie. It was the revolutionary army that turned us over and allowed us to live a good life. ”

"After the government's general mobilization order this time, in the factory I opened, more than 30 stick boys signed up to join the army, including those who had just gotten married and had children who were only a month old, and they all joined the army without telling the people in the army, and I was the boss. Can you still make future generations see jokes? ”

"Master, the guns on this battlefield don't recognize people. Are you not afraid of death? In case you want to have three long and two short, what will your family do? ”

"Hey, even if I die, don't say that I have a factory at home, even if there is no factory, even if we don't have a factory, our government will definitely not let my mother-in-law and three children suffer. I went out to fight, that is, for my own mother-in-law and children to live a good life, even if I die, they come to the Great Black Mountain every year to give me pillar incense, and my life will be worth it! ”

The middle-aged master's words were louder, and several young men next to him heard them.

"That is, what this master said is good, the revolutionary army fights, but not for any one person, Commander-in-Chief Xie has long said that the revolutionary army fights for everyone. Hehe, this time, all the brothers in our family are here. ”

"All here?"

Xie Niancheng looked over and saw that there were five people who looked a little similar.

"You're brothers?"

"That's right, all five of us brothers are here."

Xie Niancheng asked: "No, the mobilization order said, if there are many brothers in the family, at most half of them can join the army, and the five brothers in your family can only go to three at most, why are they all here?" ”

"Hey, I see that you are Sven, why are your brains so rigid, aren't we going to sign up separately?"

"You're all gone, what about the family?"

"What can be wrong at home? In our alley, all the men have signed up for the army, and now, all the people in that alley are family, all the old people are our parents, and all the children are our children...... Our men are gone, and there are no women left in the house. Don't worry, you can't miss ......"

The two young men heard the conversation between the two people and joined in.

"Hmph, it's you people who don't follow the rules...... We in Sichuan are a legal society, how can you people be like this? The general mobilization order clearly stated the conditions for recruitment, why did you come to join in the fun if you were not qualified enough? Isn't it crowding out other people's places? ”

"What do you two little furry boys know? The country is everyone's country, there is no country, where is the home, the more people who join the army, the better, isn't it? ”

One of the five brothers is a younger year.

"What a thing! Now that the recruiting point is closed, it is said that enough soldiers have been recruited! There must be a lot of people who signed up in front of them to join the army if they don't meet the conditions, so that those of us who are completely in line with the policy can't join the army, what are we doing! ”

The words of the two quickly spread, and the crowd was a little dissatisfied, and they all began to make a fuss.

The door of the recruiting point opened, and a soldier came out: "Citizens, please go home, the recruitment work of the revolutionary army has ended." ”

"No! We're going to join the army! We're going to be soldiers! ”

People started yelling.

Xie Niancheng shook his head and returned to the headquarters.

On this day, scenes on the streets of Chengdu were staged in various places.

The General Headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, the provincial governments of the southwest and western regions, and the autonomous authorities of the Indochina Peninsula and Nanyang issued an urgent circular overnight, demanding that the recruits and local government personnel in all localities strictly examine the qualifications of the applicants:

The combat unit requires unmarried young men who are at least eighteen years old and less than twenty years old. Logistics troops can relax the age to 30 years. Only sons can't join the army, and if they have many brothers, only half of them can join the army at most.

After an urgent screening. In the end, there are still more than 7 million people who are fully qualified to join the army. In desperation, the General Headquarters and the local government had no choice but to adopt various methods and reluctantly persuade more than one million people to leave. Finally, on September 1, a total of 6.2 million people entered the various training bases.

The final troop establishment plan formulated by the General Staff was: 50 infantry corps, 150 divisions, and 3 million men; 500,000 armored troops and air force; Logistics troops 2.7 million people.

To distinguish the armies of the rest of the Chinese Federation. The Sichuan Army was called the Revolutionary Army of the National Salvation Association, and a new word was added before the establishment of all the corps and divisions, and the Socialist Party controlled the regional army. It is called the Socialist Revolutionary Army.

After the various units of the Revolutionary Army of the National Salvation Association were concentrated, intense training began.

With 6.2 million fewer people, the rest of society as a whole is also taking action. Trade unions and peasant associations have issued a call for workers to cancel rest days and for peasants to voluntarily increase their working hours in order to ensure industrial and agricultural production.

According to local government estimates. The output value of industry and agriculture has not declined. Instead, it has risen steadily.

The Revolutionary Army of the National Salvation Association began to intensify its training of the new army, while the rest of the Chinese Federation was caught in a bitter battle.

The Socialist government under Jiang Wei also issued a general mobilization order, and in a short period of time, the revolutionary army controlled by the Socialist Party expanded to more than 2 million. After the general mobilization, Japan has sent 2 million troops to the land of China, including 1 million front-line combat troops.

Although the Socialist Revolutionary Army had the advantage of having the right time and place and the right people, the Japanese army had the advantage in equipment and training. The revolutionary army was losing ground one after another.

Fortunately, Xie Niancheng sent thousands of planes to North and East China to participate in the war, together with the weak air force of the Socialist Revolutionary Army. In the sky, there was a reluctant draw with the Japanese invasion of China, which allowed the various departments of the Chinese Federation to continue to confront the Japanese army.

For example, the Battle of Songhu, which lasted for three months, in which the Japanese army invested more than 300,000 people in eight divisions and two brigades, and more than 40,000 people were killed and wounded; The Chinese army invested more than 700,000 people in 48 divisions and 24 brigades, and more than 300,000 people were killed or wounded.

This battle shattered the Japanese army's arrogant illusion of trying to "settle the Chinese Federation in three months".

The Japanese army on the northern front conquered Jinan and Taiyuan, and the Japanese army on the southern front conquered Shanghai and then went up the river, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity such as mass murder, rape, arson, and looting in Nanjing, the capital of the Union.

The climax of the Japanese army's atrocities lasted for 6 weeks from the capture of Nanjing on December 13, 2028 in the Han calendar, although Xie Niancheng issued a warning through radio and newspapers and magazines that the Japanese army might slaughter the city to vent their anger, but many Nanjing citizens did not think that the Japanese would be so frustrated, and did not evacuate Nanjing in time, as a result, about 80,000 Chinese civilians and prisoners of war were still killed by the Japanese army in this massacre, and the city of Nanjing was set on fire and looted by the Japanese army, resulting in the destruction of one-third of the city of Nanjing and countless property losses.

When news of the Nanjing Massacre reached the areas controlled by the National Salvation Congress, the people became even more angry. Those who were not able to join the army worked harder, and those who joined the army trained harder one by one.

The officers and men of the Revolutionary Army of the National Salvation Association who joined the army in Nanyang and the Indochina Peninsula had endured the hardships of foreigners and felt the suffering of the people in the Japanese-occupied areas.

"Resist the Japanese and resist the insult, return my rivers and mountains!"

Soon, millions of newly formed troops in the southwest and western regions had such strips of white cloth written in blood floating on their chests.

On January 1, 2029 in the Han calendar, the training ended, and the millions of troops under Xie Niancheng began to set off from thousands of garrisons in Tibet, from the Western Regions, from Nanyang, and from the Indochina Peninsula, and the order given to them by the General Headquarters was the same: before February 1, rush to the predetermined location in Sichuan to assemble!

In January 2029, the resistance of the Socialist Revolutionary Army became more and more intense, and 700,000 revolutionary troops and 400,000 Japanese troops launched a huge battle of Xuzhou in the northern front of Xuzhou.

On January 27, Xuzhou fell.

The main force of the Socialist Revolutionary Army broke through the encirclement and retreated to the mountains to rest.

The 1 million revolutionary troops on the southern front seized the time to organize and train troops in the Wuhan area, ready to fight a decisive battle with the 500,000 Japanese troops entrenched in Nanjing.

The Socialists were not completely pessimistic about the situation, because they knew that in the half year requested by Xie Niancheng, the ministries of the Chinese Federation under the control of the Socialist Party did it at the cost of 1 million casualties!

On February 1, the front between the Socialist Revolutionary Army and the Japanese army, from north to south, was probably the Taiyuan-Anyang-Xuzhou-Hefei-Wuhu line, and the Chinese army of 2 million and 1.2 million Japanese troops confronted each other. (To be continued......)
