The snow fell earlier than usual in the 7th year of the Republic of China, and the customs outside the country at this time was no better than the northeast in the greenhouse effect fifty or sixty years later. The first snow fell to the knees in the bitter north wind.

"One, two, three, hard!" At this time, a large group of soldiers in blue-gray military uniforms were struggling in the snow with mules and horses, and a formidable cannon was pulled on the sled board.

Gotta gotcha....

A large group of horsemen stepped on a passage rolled out by the trucks, and the snow slag sped all the way through, leaving the horse's tail to the struggling infantry.

"Damn, it's still cool for the cavalry, let's struggle in this snow, they're good, two legs across a four-legged livestock, last time I fought with Lao Maozi on the Middle Road, it was our infantry who attacked the fortifications, but Lao Maozi was defeated, but it was these guys who were chasing, and we couldn't catch up with the heat when we ate!" Seeing this group of cavalry disappearing, Ma Qingrong thought indignantly, thinking of the uneven place and whipping it on the butt of the unfortunate mule. The mule, who had been exhausted for a long time, ate this whip, but really pulled the cannon forward a little.

"Dang!"

"Who dares to hit Lao Tzu's hat!" Ma Qingrong picked up the crooked steel helmet and shouted urgently, but seeing the expressionless look of the person who came, Ma Qingrong said with a loud voice, "Liu, Battalion Commander Liu, why are you here." ”

"Lao Tzu is not coming, you are not turning the sky upside down, you have been grinding for a long time, the cannon has not seen the slightest move to the front, and the complaining can be heard by Lao Tzu for several miles, do you want to go to the camp headquarters, Lao Tzu will come to drive the mules?" Liu Changqing pointed at Ma Qingrong's nose and scolded.

"Why, how can you, you are the battalion commander, my old surname is Ma, and I will drive the horse's life. But this mule is not a horse, so I can't move under command. Ma Qingrong said with a sad face.

The soldier next to him burst into laughter.

"Get out, I can't go to the sheep slope before dark, and I'll give Lao Tzu an empty stomach and wait for tomorrow's breakfast!" Liu Changqing stiffened his face and cursed again, and walked forward with a whip.

"Most of the foundation of the 6th Division was drawn from the 2nd Division, and the 11th Division was not formed for long. I see that the 11th Division is a little hanging in this battle. Li Chengwen pouted and said.

"I don't think so, the 6th Division is the main attack, and the 11th Division is still a little worse off, but it shouldn't be a big problem to defend the territory." Chen Shengwu put down the binoculars and shook his head and said.

"Hey, Marshal, this 6th Division is now equipped with steel helmets, I heard that the Japanese permanent divisions have not made this thing yet, and those foreigners in the West have cleaned it up, but it is a rare thing. When will it be equipped for the Mukden side. Seeing those steel helmets, Li Chengwen said with some itching.

"I'll talk about it when the army on this side of Heilongjiang is fully equipped." Qin Yu shook his head and said, although it is winter, wearing a steel helmet is a little offensive, but for the time being, it is just a show, and the mainstream is still a dogskin hat. If you really want to equip a large area, you will have to wait until next year.

"Hehe, in the past, we picked up the Japanese and Lao Maozi's fingers, but now some aspects are in front of the Japanese. If I really get all the guys in my hands, I dare to touch the permanent division of the Japanese army. Li Chengwen said with a smile.

Chen Shengwu, who has never been smiling, nodded. "In Hefei, Guannei, when Feng Guozhang and his ilk were vying for power, the marshal had led our Northeast Army to catch up with the Japanese army and the Russian army little by little, and now the heavy artillery units prepared by the Japanese in wartime have been lowered, and the Northeast Army is not inferior to the Japanese army in other equipment, if it weren't for the marshal, he would now put considerable attention in the Russian Far East. The participating armies of Duan Hefei's divisions could be beaten down. ”

After winning the battle of the Middle East Road, in the face of the two armies of Zhiwan and Anhui that were separated from Germany in the Guannei, the generals of the Northeast Army had a psychological advantage at this time.

"Okay, anyone can say beautiful things, Zuo Yunong is good. Jiang Cheng's selection and arrangement of troops is not bad, it seems that he can't tell the winner today. Qin Yu put down his binoculars and glanced at the two of them, "You two were the first to see this exercise, and if you can't write a suitable report, just wait for the meeting to be counted." ”

"On the snow combat of the large corps?" Li Chengwen touched his head, and Qin Yu asked him to write about the use of airplanes in actual combat for the first time.

"Dashuai, this is preparing for the future recovery of the lost land lost to Lao Maozi by the former Qing Dynasty." Although Chen Shengwu didn't say much, he could always get to the point, and he could see Qin Yu's intentions at once.

This is what it means that this European war, a major battle that lasted for tens or even millions, was unprecedented in human history in terms of scale and tragedy. With the increase of national strength and the power of the hostile countries in the future, once the war starts, it will be the input of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the combined strength of the two sides of the Middle Road War is only a little more than 200,000. Compared with Europe, it is still far behind, Russia, whether it is the old or new regime, will not lightly give up the Far East and the Outer Mongolia that has been put on the lips, there will be a war in the future, and we can be considered prepared to do our homework as soon as possible. Qin Yu nodded and did not deny that the core high-level generals of the Northeast Army were not unaware of Qin Yu's will to the north.

"The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Russia has a vast territory, and if it really wants to fight, it can't even feed the war with war, and supplies rely entirely on rear transportation. He felt that if he wanted to prepare for future wars, he had to start from two aspects: First, he had to establish front-line military stations in advance and reserve a large amount of military supplies for wartime. On the other hand, it is necessary to do a good job of cold prevention measures, when Napoleon swept through Western Europe, marched into Russia and repeatedly fought and robbed, and finally defeated Moscow for non-war crimes, it is really to underestimate the extremely harsh climate of Russia's winter, and the soldiers who freeze to death and frostbite exceed the battle damage, if it were not for the weather, with Napoleon's command art, it is impossible to have so many casualties. If we do not pay attention to these two points, we may regain lost ground in the future, and we may repeat the mistakes of Napoleon. Chen Shengwu said succinctly.

Qin Yu nodded again and again when he heard this, Chen Shengwu came all the way from an old army general, and he was a person who had not studied for a few days and could not read a few big characters, but it was not a fluke that he could become one of the few generals at the highest level of the Northeast Army at this time.

"You've got to the point on both of these points, and the establishment of the military station is indeed a must. In addition, the munitions factories in the rear have now set up special projects on cold-resistant and frost-resistant equipment. Future wars will become more and more specialized, and the future Republic of China will have a vast territory and a territory of thousands of miles. Snow warfare, mountain warfare, desert warfare, jungle warfare, and large-scale mechanized warfare on the plains are all tactical courses that the army will have to study in the future. Qin Yu said with emotion, not only Napoleon's defeat in Moscow, but also a few decades later, the German strongman was not the same as sinking in Russia, of which the severe cold climate accounted for a considerable part of the reason, and the staff set up the Snow Wolf Plan to better adapt to the future northern battlefield.
