"Correction, bearing 6, distance 1970 yards!"

Inside the barracks, unlike usual, a huge hot air balloon was raised from the artillery barracks position, and according to the flags raised on it, the German artillery constantly corrected the number of shelling.

"Fire!"

Boom, huge fires and smoke rose in the distance, and Qin Yu saw through the telescope the moment when the target was destroyed.

"Well done the men you brought here, Major Vinard!" Qin Yu threw the telescope to Wang Yuhai next to him and laughed loudly.

"Your Excellency, this is just a common routine tactic on the battlefields of Europe." Venard didn't think it was at all. "According to my understanding of your army, the equipment of your army is inferior to that of the warring parties in the European war, and these differences are mainly reflected in the number of artillery equipment, as well as the large number of transport vehicles that appeared in the later stage of the war, as well as the number of machine guns and mortars, resulting in a single means of attack and defense of your army."

"In unconventional warfare, there are also gas bombs on the European battlefield, and for your army without gas masks, once the enemy uses gas bombs, it can be said that your army will face a massacre!" Venard didn't care at all about Qin Yu's possible upset, as a professional soldier, Venard had his own professional ethics. Even if Qin Yu is an employer, he has the right to speak by himself.

Li Chengwen next to him snorted, obviously dissatisfied with Venard's statement. The Northeast Army has also gone through a big battle, and snorted a little unconvinced, "Germany was still defeated by the Japanese army in Qingdao, and we have seen the strength of the Japanese army in the first battle of Boli, and the Northeast Army is not as unbearable as Major Wijnald said." ”

Qin Yu waved his hand to stop Li Chengwen's words. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry to you on behalf of my subordinates, but everyone has the right to question, and I hope Major Wijnald won't be surprised." ”

Then Qin Yu said, "In the first battle of Qingdao, the German army was isolated. In the face of the Japanese and British forces, the final surrender was a helpless move. In the Qingdao War, the Japanese army not only dispatched nearly ten times the strength of the German army, but also the combined fleet was responsible for fire suppression, this is a war with completely asymmetrical strength, you, next time to figure out the situation, there will be a few documentaries about the European war next month, and you will also watch it then. Good advice can be hard to swallow. For some valuable experiences in the European competition, even if it is ugly, we must accept it with an open mind. ”

Li Chengwen nodded yes.

"Major Wijnald, I heard that you have a soft spot for the new tank tank, but I don't know what you have to say about tanks? Some people say that the tank should be used as a support weapon for the infantry, and some say that it is a better defensive weapon, what do you think? Qin Yu asked Vinard again, in fact, the German soldiers were already quite restricted at this time. Such a large number of appearances in a country's army are extremely feared by Britain and France, but cats have catliness. Qin Yu is naturally not an obedient good gentleman, through some undisclosed channels, he can always invite some retired German soldiers, the number of German soldiers in the war exceeds one million, and now at most 100,000 can be retained. Among the soldiers who have been dismissed, there are many very outstanding professional officers, and these people have rich experience in actual combat, and the European war they have experienced is something that the Northeast Army has not experienced, and their experience is extremely valuable.

Venard didn't get angry because of Li Chengwen's words, but just said with an expressionless face. "Your Excellency, in my opinion, the tank is not only used as a support weapon, but also as a mobile fire base, the tank is extremely aggressive, equipped with a larger caliber gun, it can make the tank have the ability to destroy the enemy's fortifications, and thicker armor also makes the tank have a better means of defense. The charge of tank clusters will be a nightmare for the enemy infantry, and I think that in the future, the way of warfare of the ground forces will change because of the emergence of tanks, and the war will trigger a change in the industrial model, if it were not for the time constraints, thousands of tanks would have appeared on the European battlefield by now, and this kind of big war has been different from traditional ground warfare. And the role of tanks in the impact of enemy positions is also irreplaceable. ”

"Well, some of the new weapons that have emerged in this European war have indeed triggered a change in the way of warfare. Compared with the traditional weapons of the past, I value tanks and aviation in the slightest, and they are not in any way below the traditional army. If you are interested in studying the tactics of tanks and aviation, I would like to provide some convenience, and the Northeast now also has the ability to manufacture tanks and aircraft. It is also possible to provide training grounds for some of your country's soldiers. Qin Yu said deeply, before the start of World War II, the tanks equipped by the German army were not much more powerful than those of France and the Soviet Union, reliable armor torrent, and could defeat the enemy in a large area with the momentum of attacking and rolling a qiē, in addition to the preparation in advance, the German army's concept of using armor is also incomparable to other countries. It is unlikely that Germany will be drawn into a cooperative relationship all at once, so we will lay a foundation first, and when the Northeast Army enters the customs and has a greater position in the international community, I believe that Germany will consider it further at that time.

"These German soldiers are really arrogant." Looking at the back of Venard leaving, Li Chengwen was amazed.

"Most of the people who have the ability also have some temper, and the German army is tough in battle, and the waist is naturally straight. In any case, the German army had more experience on the battlefield than the Northeast Army, so we had to learn from them. ”

"Dashuai, a telegram from Beijing!"

Qin Yu stretched out his hand to take the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Is the marshal not optimistic about this Paris Peace Conference?" Li Chengwen's eyes were good, and he happened to see the headlines of the telegram.

"Weak countries have no diplomacy, and this war is just a free ride for the Republic of China, and most of the conditions put forward conflict with Japan's interests, so it is strange that the goal can be achieved under Japan's strength." Qin Yu sneered.

"With the strength of the Northeast, if you make a public statement, maybe things can take a little turn." Li Chengwen pinched his chin and said, not to mention the Middle East Road, Britain and the United States are also looking at Boli's war, if the Northeast forcibly wants to fight for some rights. It should be possible.

"There is a mess of civil strife in the Republic of China, and there are two voices from the Northeast and the Central Committee at the peace conference, isn't it for foreigners to see, this matter is not successful, the Northeast cannot be independent, and it is still a part of the Republic of China after all." Qin Yu shook his head. There is some truth in what Li Chengwen said, but at this time the relations between Northeast China and Japan are walking on thin ice, but cooperation in the Far East cannot be broken for the time being, and it is still expected that the quagmire of the Russian Far East will consume a lot of Japan's energy and strength. Prepare for the war in the future, and besides, the Northeast is now limited in strength, and it can't win too many rights, even if Japan has a little advantage now, it can also be taken back through the war in the future, Qin Yu has a hunch. The war with the Japanese may be closer than expected.

"Send a telegram to President Xu Da, saying that the Northeast supports the central government's participation in the Paris Peace Conference and fights for the sovereignty of the Republic of China." Qin Yu's eyes flashed with a bright light, the Paris Peace Conference failed, and the resentment that was launched by the Republic of China riot was an opportunity for the Northeast Army to enter the customs in a big way. However, this is for the powerful faction in Kannai, and for the prevention of Japan and Russia. Outside the pass, it was a place of four wars, and all sides were threatened, and the Northeast Army entered the pass, occupied territory in the pass, and obtained the population resources in the pass, as well as strategic depth. In the future, Japan will be invincible.

"In addition, the three newly formed divisions will complete the reorganization and installation in the first half of the year, and if there is a change in the shape of the pass, the Northeast Army will enter the pass and fight with the Anhui system that has always dominated the center. You hand over the work in your hands and take full responsibility for the training of the three divisions. Qin Yu said to Li Chengwen again. Li Chengwen, this guy, may not be as sharp and serious as Yang Xing and Chen Shengwu on the battlefield, this is also because he is a little lazy by nature, and he is not as good as the other few people who have a thorough understanding of new tactics and emerging weapons, and they can't use new weapons well, so their natural combat power is somewhat discounted, but Li Chengwen, who was born with a beard, also has a ruthless energy, especially in the training of soldiers, training soldiers more ruthlessly, but it also happens to make the best use of people, Qin Yu can also be regarded as applying it according to his aptitude.

"Hehe, okay, don't worry, the lowly post will definitely train these divisions for the marshal in the shortest possible time." Li Chengwen was gearing up, and when he heard Qin Yu's intention to lead the Northeast Army into the customs in a big way, he was even more excited, thinking that he was born with a beard, and he actually had the merit of being a dragon. In the future, it will also be a good story in history.

……….

"Your Excellency, there are not many opportunities for you to visit in person, and you are here to make our people shine." Nytahara re-walked with his mane slightly white, and went out to greet him with a restrained smile.

"General Nita's gracious." Duan Qirui is a very arrogant person, although he has cooperated with the Japanese before, but he knows the awe-inspiring nature of the Japanese, he does not get up early without profit, and has coveted the Republic of China for a long time.

Walking into the house with Japanese characteristics of Rentianhara Shigeyuki, sitting down cross-legged, Duan Qirui took the tea handed over by the waitress and took a sip, "I have heard a little about your country's military operations in the Russian Far East, I heard that one of your multi-division regiments fought a battle with Qin Yu's Northeast Army in Boli?" ”

Nytahara Shigeyuki's face changed suddenly, although he did not go to the Far East, but with his status and status, he naturally knew a lot about the war in Boli, and it was not an exaggeration to describe the Japanese army in Boli with the word fiasco, and the army of nearly 15,000 people came back with less than a fraction of the back. It was the greatest loss on the battlefield since the Russo-Japanese War," His Excellency the Governor of Beijing is so powerful that he has also stepped down from the position of prime minister. If it weren't for the support of the empire, I'm afraid that even the participating armies that now retain their status would no longer exist, and now because of the warring armies, there is still a chance to recover. Although the empire had a small setback in Boli, compared with the huge national strength of the Great Japanese Empire, what was the slightest loss? ”

"General Rentian misunderstood, when I talked about the Boli War, I didn't mean to underestimate the combat strength of your army, the ruler was short, and the inch was long. There is an old saying in my country, the one who is interested in a hundred miles will become a general. Your country is all the way to Boli, just from Vladivostok, not to mention hundreds of miles. The cold and snowy weather and the difficulty of supplying make it difficult for your army to do its best, and the slightest defeat is also a cause for it, not a crime of war. Duan Qirui saw that Ren Tian Yuan Shigeyuki's face was not good-looking, and of course he would not reveal the other party's scars again. However, after hearing Ren Tianyuan Shigeyuki admit it personally, Duan Qirui's fear of the Northeast in his heart was even more extreme, and he couldn't imagine that this battle was actually the Japanese army at a disadvantage, and it was difficult for the Northeast Army to be so strong?

Duan Qirui's tone changed, "Your side has a long history of conflict of interest with the Northeast, and you want to get rid of Qin Yu quickly, but now it is an indisputable fact that the Northeast Army is strong, judging from the recent attitude of the Northeast, the intention of wanting to enter the customs has been very obvious, Qin Yu is no longer satisfied with the corner of the Northeast, and wants to get involved in the power of the central government of our country, presumably your country does not want to see the Northeast Army enter Beijing, this is the fundamental purpose of my coming here to discuss with Your Excellency the General." ”

"I don't know if Your Excellency the Governor has any good measures to prevent this from happening, and you also know that our Great Japanese Empire is only an outsider, restricted by Britain and the United States, and cannot directly enter the bureau to stop the Northeast Army." Rentianhara Shigeyuki finally figured out Duan Qirui's intention, and since he had a request for someone, Rentianhara Shigeyuki naturally raised his shelf.

"What good plan can I have, now the direct warlords led by Cao Kun always like to go against the central government of our country, and Wu Peifu, the number one general under Cao Kun, is even more disobedient. The Northeast Army has a heavy army outside the pass, and you also know the combat strength of the Northeast Army, so you can't take it lightly. At present, our participating army is attacked on both sides, and we must get foreign aid, otherwise we will inevitably be defeated by the Northeast Army and our direct line from both sides. Duan Qirui is temperament that can't rub sand in his eyes, and when he heard that Ren Tianyuan was selling Guanzi, he immediately said with some displeasure, "I originally came with sincerity, if His Excellency the General is so perfunctory, then I will find another way out, it really can't be done, it's a big deal to gather and disperse the participating army, whether he Cao Kun enters Beijing, or the Northeast Army goes south, it won't hinder me for anything." ”

"Your Excellency the Superintendent is calm and impatient, since you are here with sincerity, then let's open the skylight and speak brightly, since Your Excellency the Superintendent has understood the current crisis, I don't know what you plan to do? How can we help? Shigeyuki Nitahara asked.

"In the battle of the Middle Road, the Northeast Army defeated 100,000 Russian troops, and the number of troops that could be used greatly exceeded that of my participating army. At present, there are four divisions participating in the war, and the total number of troops obeying my orders is about 70,000 or 80,000, but it is still necessary to replenish a batch of ordnance, and if it can be expanded by two or three divisions, the strength will be sufficient. Then I need you to find a way to hold back the main force of the Northeast Army and prevent it from entering the pass, and my army participating in the battle will crush the direct army that has incorporated Cao Kun as quickly as possible. After integrating the forces in the Guannai, he fought with the Northeast Army. Duan Qirui made the outline of the plan clear in a few words. (To be continued......)
