The scorching sun was scorching, and in the Tiexi camp, an earth-shattering roar came out, which added a sense of dryness to the hot afternoon, but this heat made people feel a sense of blood boiling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Today is the official camp day for the recruits of the Tiexi Battalion.

Nearly 30,000 recruits have officially joined the training camp of the northern Henan garrison, where they will spend the most unforgettable three months of their lives in the barracks.

This will be the next starting point in their lives.

Leng Feng led military and political generals at all levels of the New First Army to attend and speak, and at the same time attended the opening ceremony in the afternoon.

This kind of speech is the first time for Leng Feng, after all, the total number of recruits and instructors participating in the training adds up to 30,000.

This is also the first time in the country that so many soldiers are trained in one large battalion.

“…… I don't care whose son you were or whose husband you were before I came, you lost these identities to me, and in these three months, you were just a recruit...... Be prepared to shed a layer of skin......"

The simple words resonated with many people, and the applause continued.

The battalion is divided into two regions, north and south, and one region is divided into three districts, each with a scale of 5,000 people, and according to the scale of 300 people in each battalion, a total of 200 training camps!

Six of them are officer training camps.

The main reason for separating officers from soldiers is that this reintegration training is completely different from the training for recruiting new recruits.

If these so-called "officers" are arranged to train with soldiers, there may be a lot of trouble, and if you want to transform a rabble team, you have to break the routine and start over.

Training these people is actually far more difficult than training recruits with a blank slate, and many inherent habits or experiences are stubborn diseases that they need to deal with.

Of course, it can't be too absolute, there are also some people with combat experience, who are very malleable, and it is easier to produce results, which is only relative.

The army is a melting pot, and those who kick it out do not mean that they give up, and it just so happens that young and strong workers are needed to build roads and fortifications of all kinds.

If these people put all their brains into society, it will still breed problems, and it is better to give them a job, at least not to sit on the mountain.

Killing two birds with one stone, Mr. Hou Jingru, a railway expert in Le, called Leng Feng to tell Leng Feng that with these strong laborers, the repair work of the Xinzheng Railway has been greatly accelerated.

"Jian Chu, let you be the director of this big battalion, you really chose the right person, how about it, isn't it very fulfilling?" Leng Feng asked with a smile.

"Pull it down, I'm about to die of a headache, those people are all stinky and sick, some are noisy to drink, some are looking for women, some want to smoke a lot, don't sleep at night, gamble, it's really anyone, if you want me to see, these people are useless, let them get out." Liao Sen smiled bitterly and poured bitter water with Leng Feng.

"This is not good, although these people say that there are a lot of problems, but we still have to work hard to transform them into people we can use, their bad habits, but also completely their own reasons, we can not look at the problem one-size-fits-all, we have to analyze specific problems, especially do not ignore the role of role models." Leng Feng smiled and said, this political work, setting a model, is far more useful than empty preaching.

"Hit a stick, and then give a sweet date, it's useless, these are old oils, thieves!"

"Find a way to isolate a person, pull him over, and then set up a model, heavy reward, people are profit-seeking animals, naturally there will be people who move closer to us, for those who can't support the wall in the mud, when the time comes, those who should be abandoned will be abandoned, and the new army will not raise idlers." Leng Feng said.

"Junza, listen to what you say, I understand." Liao Sen said seriously.

"You understand?"

"Compared to you, I think I'm already very kind."

"Haha, Jianchu, Ci is not in charge of the troops, this point must always be remembered in the hearts of those of us who lead the troops, we must think about the interests of the majority of people, this is the greatest good." Leng Feng said solemnly.

"Liao Sen understands."

"I'll hand over the Tiexi battalion to you, and in three months, I hope you can train these people into qualified soldiers, remember my requirements for this unit?" Leng Feng handed over the Tiexi camp to Liao Sen, and he really didn't have the energy to be distracted by this.

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

"That's right!"

Whether it was the Japanese army's key attack on northwest Henan, or the very strange battle situation, it gave him a sense of crisis, and he was afraid that he would not be able to live this peaceful life.

"Military seat, the executive office called, saying that there is an emergency military situation."

"What military intelligence, so alarmed?" Leng Feng scolded Guo Weiquan lightly, he has been with himself for so long, why hasn't he learned to deal with changes without being surprised?

"Military seat, Hankou emergency telegram, a Japanese army landed in Anqing in the rain at noon today, and Wuhan is already in chaos." Guo Weiquan said excitedly.

"Sure enough, it came." Leng Feng's face turned cold, he had already issued a warning to Wuhan, worried that he would be lightly spoken, so he would give Li Delin first, wanting to remind Lao Jiang through him.

I didn't expect these people to be inappropriate.

"The military seat has expected it a long time ago?"

"I'm not arrogant enough to Japan, I will regard me as a strategic object of key offensives, in addition to grain and minerals in northern Henan, which point is more important than Wuhan, the two lakes plain is also an important grain producing area, since ancient times there is a proverb that 'the lake is ripe, the world is full', the Japanese army does not occupy such a strategic town in Wuhan, and I have to fight to the death with an ordinary general who leads troops, is it the brains of the high-level people in Japan and the country are in water?" Leng Feng snorted.

"Military seat, the Japanese army's key military operation to attack northern Henan?"

"It should be a fake move made by the Wuhan side to confuse it, and another point is that they want to contain my new army, their battle of Xuzhou is because of our appearance, and they suffered heavy losses, just to find an excuse, kill two birds with one stone, except for the old devil Kenji Dohihara, only Okamura Ningji can think of it." Leng Feng analyzed.

"This Okamura Ninji is really a terrible opponent."

"I'd love to see this Okamura Ninji for a while, but I don't know if there's such an opportunity right now." Leng Feng said regretfully.

As far as the present situation is concerned, there is no way for the New First Army to withdraw from the south to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.

Moreover, even if the battle of Wuhan starts, it will not end for a while and a half, and the generals of this party-state are not all wine bags and rice bags, and there are still capable people.

Returning to the office, the specific information about the Japanese raid on Anqing has been summarized one after another.

It's almost the same as in history, the difference is the time, one on June 11 and the other on July 26.

It's been a month and a half late.

The main force of this elite Japanese army attacking Anqing was a brigade from TW, the brigade commander was called Harata Shigeichi, a lieutenant general, and in addition to the 11th Marine Corps.

The Harata Detachment, with most of its soldiers from the Japanese and Minami Kyushu regions, was previously stationed in the TW area, and was a unit that was able to adapt to fighting in hot and rainy subtropical areas.

This unit once participated in the Battle of Songhu, which was led by Chiaki Shigeto at that time, and the battle plan for the Japanese army to land in Guangdong at that time, so it was quickly pulled back, rested in TW for half a year, and then pulled out and incorporated into the Central China Dispatch Army of Shunroku Hatata.

This time, it was used as the main force of the attack along the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it can be said that it was pinned on by Shunroku Hata.

Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Anhui Province was established, to the Republic of China, Anqing has always been the provincial capital, it is located in the southwest of Anhui Yangtze River north bank, between Nanjing and Wuhan, the opposite bank is Jiangxi Jiujiang, the north is Hubei Huangmei, military geography is particularly important, there is "the Yangtze River this throat, Wu Chu is the first state of Xinjiang" said. In the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a fierce battle for Anqing broke out here, and Zeng Guofan tried his best to capture Anqing, and used it as a base to finally conquer Nanjing.

This month and a half was still of considerable help to the national government, at least it was more fully prepared, and the troops lost in the Battle of Xuzhou were relatively small.

"The Fifth Theater has urgently transferred Tang Keqin's 20th Army Corps to aid Yang Sen's 27th Army, but the problem is that it has rained heavily in northern Anhui, and it will take at least three days for the 20th Army to arrive.

"The 6th Division braved the rain to storm the front line of Tongcheng, Yang Sen's division suffered heavy casualties, and the 199th Division of the 87th Army of Xu Yuanquan's Division, which retreated to Lu'an, counterattacked Shucheng, and made small gains, but was repelled by the Japanese army, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated to the area of Yuexi to supplement and recuperate."

"The 199th Division is a reorganization of the local security forces in Hunan, and more than half of them are strong men. Du Guangting said angrily.

A room full of people were silent, and now the troops of the party-state, except for a few elites, are not all like this?

Recruits, strong men account for half, although the Japanese army is not short of supplementary soldiers, but people have a complete military service system, once conscripted, these soldiers are at least once served, even veterans with combat experience, as long as a little familiar with the battlefield environment, the combat effectiveness is completely comparable to the active soldiers.

How does this compare?

Therefore, don't blame some people for not having confidence in this war, it's not that it's completely unreasonable, it's just that these people have never straightened their waists, and they are greedy and afraid of death.

"The military seat, the telegram of the Military Commission, after careful consideration, decided to establish the Luxi-Northern Henan Joint Command, with Leng Feng, the commander of the New First Army and the director of the Northern Henan Branch, as the commander of the joint command, and agreed to command the national J troops in the northern Henan region to fight against Japan, smash the Japanese army's key offensive plan for the Luxi and northern Henan regions, and respond to the defense of Wuhan, this order: Jiang Zhongzheng, July 26, the 27th year of the Republic of China."

Leng Feng's eyes glared at the boss instantly, when did the old man become so generous, he was actually willing to give himself an official, he was promoted before, if it wasn't for his strength, he would be embarrassed to give himself a "higher rank and knight", and take the initiative to promote himself, this is the sun hitting the west.

"Congratulations to the military seat!"

"This seems to be a bit too sudden, what kind of officer is the commander of this joint command, and is it clear that he can command those troops?" Leng Feng asked.

"Mainly all the national J troops, the Eighth Army, the 68th Army, as well as the Third Army and the Luxi People's Army in northern Henan, as well as some anti-Japanese forces behind enemy lines." Guo Weiquan said, "The specific affiliation will be sent in detail by the Military Command Department later." ”

"Looks like we're going to have to celebrate tonight!" Chief of Staff Xie Jiyuan coaxed.

"Should you celebrate, Commander, do you make an exception for a drink in the evening?"

It was the first time that he had commanded a large corps of more than 100,000 people to fight, and Leng Feng couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"Drinking is free, you can get some chilled watermelon juice, which is delicious and can relieve the heat." Leng Feng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and drank to celebrate, it was not yet time.
