634 Headaches
Trains during the Republic of China, to be honest, really didn't have much comfort at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the train is still a steam train, that is, as long as it starts, it will be the kind of "hammer and hammer", the braking performance and shock absorption performance of this kind of train are approximate, as long as there is a slight change in speed, the people in the carriage will lean forward and close, and the feeling is more acute and even can feel the vibration when the train passes through the rail joint, if it is a short distance, it is fine, if it is a long distance, it is also a kind of torment.
It would be wishful thinking for the average person to sit on such a train and want to sleep, but this certainly does not include McTavish.
The psychological quality of McTavish's gang is estimated to be able to sleep soundly even if they sit on a cannonball.
McTavish brought veterans, these people used to fight, even if the enemy was shelling, as long as there was no battle order, McTavish they should still eat, sleep and sleep, and they would not be affected in any way, and although the train at this time was not comfortable, it was much better than the car, at least people could stretch out and not have to be curled together, so McTavish had no problem sleeping on such a train.
It is still very beneficial to have the head of the local snake Chen Range Rover, in order to act on McTavish, Chen Range Rover used some privileges and directly got a special train for McTavish and them.
The train had four sleeper seats, as well as six trailers to transport McTavish's car.
From the moment he got into the car, McTavish fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already reached enlightenment.
Dawu is less than 100 kilometers from Hankou, which is still under the control of the Beiyang government, and further on is the area of war between the Beiyang government and the southern military government.
The section from Dawu to Hankow had to rely on McTavish and their own strength, and although the railway continued to stretch forward, the special train could no longer move forward.
Fortunately, the preliminary work of the Range Rover Chen was good, and the special train would stay in Dawu for a week, waiting for McTavish and them to return.
When he got out of the car, McTavish still walked out of the box door wearing a four-color camouflage and carrying a rifle on his back.
Oh, although the performance of the current train is not very good, the service facilities are called a good, such as the special train of the Chen Range Rover, each sleeper room has a separate door, and the door is closed as soon as it is a closed space, which is much stronger than the Chase shop in the 21st century.
"Don't wear this, change your clothes." Tang Jiading has changed into the blue-gray military uniform of the Southern Military Government, with a large-brimmed hat, long riding boots, and the rank of major are all eye-catching.
The army of the Republic of China does not talk about combat effectiveness, but still pays great attention to etiquette. An officer must look like an officer, and even if he goes to the battlefield, he will be dressed neatly, for fear that the enemy will not recognize him.
"Change now? It's still our territory. McTavish hesitated.
Dawu is still the territory of the Beiyang government, if you change clothes now, McTavish is not worried about the people of the Southern Military Government, but is more worried about being accidentally injured by the troops of the Beiyang Government, and now McTavish They are still in the control area of the Beiyang Government troops, if there is a Southern Military Government troops, it will definitely cause an uproar.
"Change for a change, we have a coat, just put it on the outside, and you can put these clothes in your backpack and throw them in the car, so be prepared." Tang Jiading was still carrying a coat of the Northeast Army in his hand, and it seemed that he was indeed well prepared, and it was estimated that these people usually played this set well.
The clothes of the Northeast Army are very distinctive, the collar and cuffs are all wool collars, I am afraid that others will not know that this is produced in the Northeast, which is also a unique and very eye-catching sign in the Republic of China.
Since he was well prepared, McTavish did not refuse, took his clothes and turned back to the carriage to change them.
This set is the same as the one on Tang Jiading's body, with a big-brimmed hat, long riding boots, and the same rank of major.
McTavish touched the tweed fabric on his body, feeling a little awkward, not because of the texture of the clothes, but because of the style of the clothes.
Tweed cloth is now a rare thing, and only the Northeast Army is commonly used in the entire Republic of China, and the direct line, Anhui system, and southern military government are all old coarse cloth, which is the so-called pure cotton in the 21st century.
To be honest, McTavish is still a little unaccustomed to being so ostentatious, but this is also no way, he can't wear a four-color camouflage to Hankow, in that case, McTavish's dozens of people are estimated to be insufficient, even if the troops of the southern military government are weak, many ants can always bite the elephant to death.
Before leaving, Tang Jiading contacted Zhang Hanqing, and as soon as he got off the platform, the liaison officer sent by Zhang Hanqing came over.
This person McTavish knew, it was Zhang Hanqing's instructor Rommel.
"Why are you here?" McTavish was curious.
It is indeed a bit strange that Rommel will appear here, you must know that Qin Zhiyuan's previous order was that Lanfang's soldiers were not allowed to set foot in the civil war of the Republic of China, and they were not even allowed to provide tactical guidance, and under normal circumstances, Rommel should have stayed in the capital, not Dawu, thousands of miles away.
"One of the training programs, you know, it's my job." Rommel had no consciousness of violating military orders at all.
Rommel was a pure soldier, and as long as it was a war, no matter who the warring parties were, and how intense it was, Rommel wanted to be part of it. Of course, Rommel did not want to charge into battle, but to carefully observe the course of the war and then enrich himself with experience.
When Rommel came to the Republic of China, he was ordered to train the troops of the Beiyang government, and this order was still a bit of a loophole, and if Rommel came to enlightenment under the banner of training troops, it would be reasonable on the premise of not being targeted.
"Uh-huh, I understand." McTavish did not pursue the truth of what Rommel said, and the words "I understand" were written all over his face.
"How many of you came? Is this to storm Hankow? Rommel looked at the soldiers who gradually converged on the platform, and were a little stunned.
McTavish brought 36 people with him when he came, plus a company sent by Zhang Yuting, the number of people was already more than 100, and this establishment was indeed a bit huge at the level of the commando.
"Ha, we only have one commando, and the rest are sent by Zhang Dashuai, and it is estimated that they will be placed next to that young marshal." McTavish didn't care much, even if McTavish brought a division over, it was McTavish who finally acted with these thirty or so people.
Hankou was a pot of porridge, and the troops of the Beiyang government were losing and retreating because of internal strife, Zhang Yuting must have been worried about Zhang Hanqing's safety, and sent his own guard company over, which could be regarded as adding a life-saving weight to Zhang Hanqing.
A force of more than 100 people can't even turn over a bubble in a big battle, but if you want to protect someone from retreating, the scale of more than 100 people is just right, this scale will not attract the attention of the enemy, and because the establishment is small enough and flexible, and it also has strong combat effectiveness, it is the most suitable to protect Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Yuting has also been a horse all his life, and at the same time, most of the time he is trying to survive in the cracks, and there are many doorways, at least much better than the original Crown Prince William.
It is said that if Crown Prince William had escaped under the protection of a company, it is estimated that Liu Shuangxi and the others would not dare to attack rashly.
"Who protects whom is estimated to have two words." Rommel had faith in his students.
Well, Zhang Hanqing was indeed trained by Rommel, although Zhang Hanqing is a little out of tune, but if there is a strong person to supervise, there is still the possibility of the prodigal son turning back.
Now that he has joined Rommel, McTavish will no longer rub off, and immediately order the troops to board the bus when he gets on the platform, McTavish is not willing to stay outside for a minute, and return to Beijing early after finishing his work early, Su Mo is still waiting for McTavish, McTavish doesn't want to waste too much time on Huang Fugui's bad old man.
Dedaigo went south along the road, and the speed of the car was disturbing.
It had just rained a few days ago, and the ground was so muddy that it was almost ten steps away, and he set out before seven o'clock in the morning, and had not yet gone five kilometers by ten o'clock in the morning, when McTavish finally became anxious, and ordered the car to return the way it came, and he himself led the people on foot.
Lan Fang's army can fight like this, and the Northeast Army will not show weakness, Tang Jiading waved his hand, and led the troops to get out of the car, and marched on foot like McTavish.
The difference can be seen at this time, McTavish and they didn't just get out of the car and leave, but still made some preparations.
I saw McTavish and the others each took out a handful of rope from their backpacks, and then began to tie bundles on their bodies, what gun holsters, grenade satchels, bullet belts, etc., all had to be tied together with the body, and the whole person was tied like a rice dumpling.
Tang Jiading didn't know what McTavish was doing, it was useless to know, Tang Jiading didn't prepare a rope at all, and there was no condition to learn if they wanted to.
Fortunately, there was an instructor there, Tang Jiading immediately asked Rommel for advice, and Rommel shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, making a gesture that he couldn't help.
Well, there are some things that you still have to experience to be impressive.
So Tang Jiading didn't hesitate, got off the car and simply lined up and set off immediately, let's be honest and stupid and fly first.
This stupid bird flying first is actually a false proposition, since it is a stupid bird, even if it flies first, it can't lead much, just like a tortoise, if it runs 10,000 meters, the rabbit even if it lets the tortoise set off first for a day, the tortoise still can't win the rabbit.
Marching on foot, the speed is about four to five kilometers per hour, although the troops led by Tang Jiading are elite, but because of the poor condition of the road, it is still maintained for four to five kilometers, which is not easy, at least Tang Jiading is very satisfied.
That is, in about half an hour, McTavish and the others caught up with Tang Jiading and them, and the gap continued to increase after the overtake.
Tang Jiading looked at McTavish and looked like they were walking like flying and wanted to cry depressedly, the soldiers of the Northeast Army around him had already begun to amputate their leggings, isn't it just a rope, although we didn't prepare in advance, even if it was ready-made, it would be too late.
Sure enough, it was too late, and when Tang Jiading and them got back on the road, they walked for less than an hour before they saw McTavish and them hiding on the side of the road.
"I guess this checkpoint was just set up, and I didn't have it when I passed by here yesterday." Rommel scratched his head a little.
Is it to hit or bypass?
McTavish and Tang Jiading also scratched their heads a little.
