At the train station, a group of soldiers were standing next to a long line of military columns, and they were all curious about the railway station - Western-style buildings, foreigners everywhere, all of which made people feel very curious.

When the soldiers looked at the Irkutsk station, the people at the station were also looking at them, especially the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the station, and they noticed a detail - the guns and backpacks stacked by the railroad tracks were different from the Han-style rifles they used.

With straight bolt handles and no magazines, they were already able to recognize the identities of these men from their weapons - reinforcements from Kannai. The army in the Guannai, whether it is the Beiyang Army or the Ziqiang Army, the Liangjiang Army, most of them use a rifle, which is a 6.5 mm rifle developed on the basis of the Shenyang Arsenal drawing on the Mauser 93 rifle, and its ammunition is common to the Northeast Army, in the past many years, the drawings of a type of rifle have been provided free of charge to the Beiyang Manufacturing Bureau, Hanyang Arsenal, Jinling Manufacturing Bureau, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Sichuan Machinery Bureau, Shaanxi Machinery Bureau, Taiwan Machinery Bureau and Yunnan Machinery Bureau, in addition to the drawings also sent technical personnel, It has assisted it in mastering the technology of producing rifles and their ammunition, and has also provided loans for them to purchase machine tools and equipment in the Northeast to produce new types of weapons.

In the end, it was with the support of the Northeast that these factories with modern machines but equivalent to workshops were truly sharpened into modern arsenals, such as the Beiyang Manufacturing Bureau and the Hanyang Arsenal developed into the largest arsenals in Kannai, with an annual output of nearly 100,000 infantry machine guns and hundreds of artillery pieces.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Northeast will undoubtedly reap its own consequences in the future, but with the successive changes of local authorities such as Beiyang, the situation of self-retribution has not occurred, and these arsenals have been incorporated into a unified security system, just like in the previous wars, most of these arsenals have provided a large number of military supplies for the Northeast Army's operations.

Although the caliber of the weapons of the Guannai armies is the same as that of the Northeast Army, the difference in weapons makes it easy for people to identify them, and they can even identify the previous identities of these people through the difference in weapons, for example, the machine gun of the Beiyang Army uses the Makqin manufactured by the Beiyang Manufacturing Bureau, and the Liangjiang Army uses the Haqikaisi produced by the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau.

Just like now, through the rifle, they recognized that they were not the real Northeast Army, and then through the water-cooled machine gun, they recognized this unit as the former Beiyang Army, but that curiosity did not diminish because of this.

Because the troops were resting in the rear, and because he was in charge of the security of the railway station temporarily, Li Long had been at the station for the past few days, and at this time, after seeing the troops from the Guannai, he was full of curiosity, and immediately walked over, approached a soldier who was smoking a bag, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and took out a few and distributed them to a few soldiers nearby.

"Yo, warship smoke ......"

Zhong Changguo looked at the cigarette case, and hurriedly took it, this cigarette can get several copper dollars in it, he has not been so generous as a soldier to support his family, and he usually smokes two copper dollars and a pound of local cigarettes.

"Brother, your cigarette is really from the team?"

For a long time, all kinds of "rumors" about the Northeast Army have always spread in the army in the Guannai, and those "rumors" are more like a legend, what is a soldier has no military salary, but after retirement, there is a piece of Rongtian, in addition, what is even more unbelievable is that things like "warship smoke" are directly distributed in the team, of course, on the battlefield, and even in newspapers, the Northeast Army even distributes straw paper.

This really surprised the officers and soldiers in the customs who had to pay "their own expense" for their military uniforms, and even when they arrived in the northeast, when they received their winter clothes, they also specially asked how much it cost, and it was not until the other party told them that it was free, and they were willing to receive it, after all, this sheepskin coat was not cheap to look at.

Now, looking at the warship smoke handed to him, Zhong Changguo naturally asked curiously. You must know that at the time of this expedition, he deliberately bought 20 catties of tobacco leaves, so as not to run out of cigarettes by then, but on the way, some people said that the troops on the front line distributed paper cigarettes, and it was also the famous "warship smoke", the reason why the warship smoke is famous is because this Northeast Tobacco Co., Ltd. is printed on each cigarette box, and every pack of cigarettes sold will take out a penny to donate to Haiphong shipbuilding, and the graphics on this cigarette box are also large warships.

"Haired!"

Li Long nodded, finished a pack of cigarettes, and said proudly.

"One pack for two days, standard ration, as ...... as bullets"

Smug, he looked at the man in front of him and asked.

"Where did the brother who didn't know come from? Is it Beiyang, or is it? ”

"I am from northern Jiangsu, and I was originally a ...... of the Zhejiang Army"

While waiting for the train, because it was almost noon, the hungry Ding Zifeng was eating a little food he took out of his backpack - compressed biscuits, like other supplies, they were all received in the northeast, in fact, these soldiers who reinforced the northern battlefield from the Guannai except for weapons and autumn clothes they carried with them, all the other supplies were provided by the northeast, no, it should be said that they were provided by the imperial court, after all, now they are the army of the country.

The movements of several sergeants were a kind of signal at this time, and the big guys all took out their own dry food, and some even devoured an entire box of compressed dry food quickly, and some even made the somewhat bitter chocolate - the tropical plantations in Hainan not only provided rubber, but also planted large cocoa trees, and the army has always been the largest buyer of chocolate in China.

Just as these comrades-in-arms from Guannai were eating their food, Li Long said with a smile to Zhong Changguo and the others beside him.

"Well, you don't know what you're eating, it's a week's ration, and if I'm not mistaken, you'll have to wait until you're on the front line to get your next ration......"

Their words made everyone's eyes widen and look at the compressed dry food in their hands, and they realized that they had just eaten the food in their next trip. But the effect of food began to make the big guy feel a little warmer.

At this time, these soldiers from Zhejiang had been waiting in the cold wind for more than two hours, and the severe cold had already made everyone begin to feel the power of the Siberian winter. People were running and jumping along the tracks, joking with each other and stomping their feet in place, and some took out paper and started writing letters.

Xu Wenyuan's fingers were frozen and he couldn't hold a pen, as a southerner, the weather of minus ten degrees was already unprecedented cold for him, so he had to start observing the scene on the station to pass the time. Trains laden with war materiel kept passing through the station, turning it into a crowded field, with carriages of all kinds stretching for miles. Everything looks disorganized, and the management of the station looks equally shambled. When the train was about to go out, it had to turn to another section of railroad tracks, and beside those tracks stood some other companies like the big guy from nowhere. When the train came, the soldiers always stood up and made way out, only to turn around a few minutes later.

In fact, this confusion is inevitable, and the current Trans-Siberian Railway, in addition to the more than 50,000 Russian employees who have not retreated, there are also 60,000 or 70,000 employees of the Northeast Railway Company from the country, in addition to the military management group of thousands of officers, the language barrier and of course the resistance mood, making everything seem chaotic, even for the Northeast Railway Company, they are also learning and adapting to how to use the railway in the occupied territories.

And the train next to these fighters seems to have stopped here forever. If this train hadn't gone, their life at the station would have been better. In order to move his frozen legs and feet, Xu Wenyuan climbed to the window of the carriage parked beside him and looked in. The carriage was black and hollow, and the entire train was full of weapons and ammunition.

These weapons and ammunition were all shipped from the country, before they set off, because of the needs of the war, the imperial court took over all the arsenals, hundreds of millions of ammunition, millions of shells, and hundreds of thousands of weapons, all of which were accepted by the imperial court and prepared to be transported to the front, of course, as compensation to the locality, the imperial court paid hundreds of millions of yuan to the provinces, but this money is not cash, but a bond, in the next five years, the imperial court will be repaid through infrastructure, health and education. As an ordinary soldier, Xu Wenyuan didn't know that this was actually just a policy implemented by the imperial court to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle under the pretext of the war - the army was transferred, the arms were transferred, so what was left of the place?

And all under the most high-sounding pretext - war!

It can be said that under the most perfect reason of war, the preparations made by all parts of the Guannai for ten years for future "reunification" have fallen short, unless they are willing to fight against the millions of troops of the Northeast Army, just like Hubei, but how long can Hubei hold on?

Of course, as a soldier, Xu Wenyuan didn't think about these issues, he just thought about himself, when would he be able to reach the front line, so as to fulfill his promise.

At this time, Xu Wenyuan and his comrades-in-arms had been waiting in the station for four or five hours, and the big guy was also frozen and stiff. The sky is getting darker, the temperature is dropping, and the weather is getting colder. But at this time, they didn't have to nibble on dry food anymore - after waiting for two hours, a few cooking trucks came, and they finally had a hot meal - this was the first time since they left Shenyang that they had eaten food other than dry food, white rice, roast beef with potatoes, and, of course, more importantly, spicy soup full of pepper, which finally made them feel a little warm.

However, the wait is still not over, and the time for departure is still far away.

The night became darker, but the station was not deserted at all, and the night was still full of military trains. Ding Zifeng looked a little unbearable. He pulled down his hat to cover his ears, put his collar up, and walked around to make himself feel warmer, and from time to time he looked to the other side, and in the distant sentry box, several soldiers of the Northeast Army were watching them, they seemed to be carrying the wind there, and they should be warmer.

As an officer, Xu Wenyuan had a watch with a luminous display, and the time on the watch reminded him that it was half past eight. Everyone believed that the time for the troops to board the train and set off was coming soon, and the above would not let the big guys spend the night on the platform. After another hour or so, several men of the company took out blankets, which they kept out of the damp places as much as possible and placed them on the protruding ground; A few others even slept in the middle of the tracks where the train was docked.

Ding Zifeng sat on a pile of soldiers' luggage and lit a cigarette. He looked very tired. No one could have imagined sleeping out on such a night, and it looked impossible for everyone to be left on the station. Everyone thought that the departure whistle was about to sound, so few people followed the example of the few who fell asleep, but two hours later, thousands of soldiers from Zhejiang were still sitting on the cold stones of the railway tracks.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it seems that some light snow is starting to fall again. As a sergeant, Ding Zifeng was busy building a makeshift camping shed for himself with the luggage on the station. When he covered his camping shed with a tarp, he didn't have to worry about the weather at all - veterans always have the "slippery" of veterans!

Because of the snow, the fighters also had to find a place for themselves to rest. However, they could not go too far from their weapons, but the rifles were left where they were stored. Since the muzzle of the rifle is facing upwards, the rain that falls will definitely flow into the barrel, which will definitely make everyone look good if the commander knows about it. By now, the best camping spots at the station have been taken up, and the only place many people can go is to sleep in the tracks under the train cars next to them. The big guy once wanted to sleep in the compartments of this wagon, but all the carriages were locked with thick iron wires.

"His grandmother's, I don't know if she let us come here to suffer!"

Grumbling, the warriors grumbled and crawled to lie down between the tracks under the carriage. The biting cold wind continued to blow in from both sides of the warriors, which made everyone angry to the extreme.

To a certain extent, this is the most impressive "camping" for the first time in Xu Wenyuan's life, because of the biting cold wind, although he was wrapped in a blanket and wearing a coat, he still couldn't close his eyelids, the weather was too cold, and when the sleepiness and chill were fighting against sleepiness in this biting cold wind, the sudden whistle made the soldiers wake up subconsciously.

After waiting for almost twelve hours, at ten o'clock in the depths, the troops finally set off again, and the train rumbled forward, and the soldiers in the carriages had no idea what was going on outside, except for the roar of the intersecting trains heard from time to time, and they only knew that they were heading west......
