There are some things that are hard to forget, and there are other things that you want to forget, but you can't forget. Not only that, but the more you try to forget about it, the clearer it becomes in your mind, and it's a bit frustrating—————— it's probably like you can't find something when you want to find it, and you can easily find it when you don't want to, right? (Is it really about the same?) ）

Naturally, it has been 10 years since he came to this world, and after experiencing many things, Yan Shao should not be shaken by this matter, but Kaoru Otsuki's identity is extraordinary after all, which makes Yan Shao himself a little overwhelmed, not to mention taking into account factors such as Fumiko...

Anyway, on the way to the Governor's Mansion, Yan Shao's mind was full of glimpses on the stairs, and he almost forgot what he was going to do today.

Fortunately, there were still many people in the Governor's Mansion who could remind him, so when the convoy drove into the Governor's Mansion, Wu Qianqiu outside had already knocked on the window to remind. "Governor, it's here..."

It's not that he wants to remind, it's just that the convoy has entered the Governor's Mansion, but Yan Shao is still sitting in the back row, which will inevitably make people feel a little strange.

After hearing Wu Qianqiu's words, Yan Shao also woke up from his memories.

After nodding at Wu Qianqiu, he hurriedly pushed the car door and walked down from the car, naturally, this appearance also made Wu Qianqiu feel a little inexplicable.

"Governor!"

Seeing Yan Shao coming, a group of soldiers standing in front of the official residence of the Governor saluted.

"Well, it's hard work...", he said casually. Yan Shao and Wu Qianqiu walked into the Governor's Mansion.

In the conference room of the Governor's Mansion, many people, including Zong Wu, had already arrived, just waiting for Yan Shao's arrival.

"The Governor..."

"Sit down...", motioning for everyone to sit down first. Yan Shao found his position and shook his head, shaking the cranky thoughts in his mind, and then looked at the people present. "Let's get down to business, how are things going?"

"It's almost..."The pen in his hand lightly tapped the notebook on the conference table, and Zongwu Zhengse said. We have prepared the necessary personnel on our side, and we can send them to the front line in Suzhou at any time..."

"It's better as soon as possible, the losses on the side of the front are not small. If I had replenished it a day earlier, the situation would have been much better..."

There are many things that Yan Shao wants to talk about today, but one of the most important things is the current one. That is, about replenishing the losses of the front-line troops.

However, in just over 10 days, more than 20,000 people were lost, including more than 4,000 killed in battle. And how much more of the ten thousand or seven thousand wounded. Many more were seriously wounded. Not to mention that they still need to lie in the hospital bed to rest, even if the injuries have healed, I am afraid that many people will completely lose their combat ability.

If you count the soldiers who have died in battle, I am afraid that there are six or seven thousand, and if you count the people whose injuries are not light, but at least temporarily unable to fight, I am afraid that the whole number will reach the level of tens of thousands.

Yan Shao's side originally had less than 80,000 troops, and it was suddenly reduced by more than 10,000. That is, one-eighth of the combat effectiveness, such losses are significant for any army. After considering that now the war has only been going on for more than ten days. It can only be regarded as just the beginning, and it will take half a year to a year to defeat Yuan Shikai...

I'm afraid this loss is a bit too big.

Therefore, while being shocked by the level of losses, the junta also began to plan to replenish the troops on the front line. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that the formation of many units on the front line will either be broken up or completely destroyed.

If this is the case, even if Yuan Shikai can be defeated in the end, it will take a long time to recover these troops, which means that these troops will not have any combat effectiveness in a short period of time, which is also a headache for Yan Shao, who needs to consider the problem of the Japanese in Qingdao after solving Yuan Shikai.

What's more, the soldiers who can continue to fight on the front line will take too much time if they reorganize their troops in the rear. No matter how eager it is, it will take two months—————— just like the original National Socialist Army, but at that time, the opponents of the National Socialist Army were some surrounding warlords and rabble such as the Nanjing People's Army.

But Beiyang is different, two months is really a day is indispensable, even so, it is unknown how much combat effectiveness the formed troops can have, maybe they will be defeated by Beiyang as soon as they are pulled up, at most they can only be used as reserves.

Therefore, instead of doing this, it is better to directly replenish the soldiers, so that the combat effectiveness will really be reduced, but at least it is not as good as worrying about the problem of collapse if it goes up, not to mention ...... Beiyang on the other side may not be much stronger than the National Social Army.

And at least one thing Yan Shao is very sure of, that is, the field hospital deployed in the rear in Beiyang is definitely inferior to the hospital established by Yan Shao in Suzhou in any respect.

After all, no matter what, the hospitals established by Yan Shao in Anqing and Wuhu are the best hospitals in this era, whether it is in terms of environment, equipment, or medical level—————— which can be seen from how much money he has spent.

Especially in surgery, almost half of the best surgeons in the country are concentrated in Anhui (first, because of the high salary, and then there are doctors from all over the world, who can directly learn the most advanced medical techniques of this era, which is even more attractive than money for many doctors in this era. Many things that had to be withdrawn from the front line after being wounded, as long as the injuries were not very serious, they could return to the front line after a little treatment, but the Beiyang side was far inferior to Yan Shao's side.

Especially after learning about the treatment of the National Social Army, many soldiers of the Northern Army even began to ask the question of how much money they could give if they fought for the National Social Army, —————— natural. These are some newly formed Beiyang troops, and there are still very few people on the old troops who ask this.

"Since we have been implementing the hukou system and the reserve system for the past year, the mobilization of soldiers has been going very smoothly. At present, more than 15,000 people have been mobilized, and there is also a list of selected next batches, as long as there is a need, they can be mobilized at any time..."With a relaxed expression, Zong Wu said.

Over the past year, the junta has been implementing the ID card, household registration, and reserve systems, which has given the government the ability to mobilize at least then in China. Even at this time, the whole world is unique.

In particular, Anhui's population is not small, and only more than 15,000 people have been mobilized, but the mobilization required for the front line has been completed in just a few days. And the first mobilized soldiers. Most of them had undergone more preliminary training, such as platoon and shooting.

Very preliminary, preliminary, to the point that even some miscellaneous troops are inferior, and even the militia is inferior. However these initial trainings. But it can save them a lot of time. While being invested in the troops, it has a certain combat capability.

Naturally, at the same time as mobilization, there will certainly be some who have deserted military service because of the fear of war. This is also human nature, but the law is not merciful, at least in this matter, it is absolutely unforgiving, so those who have evaded military service will naturally have their punishment when this incident is over, otherwise they will learn the same. Will not everyone be going to evade military service in the future?

So although Yan Shao understands them very well, he will definitely not be soft. Because there are some things that really can't be soft.

In fact, Yan Yongnian, as the Minister of Justice, has now begun to cooperate with the Minister of Public Security Qin Zhen to compile a list of military service evaders.

But for now, although there are some people who are afraid of war and have deserted military service, it does not affect the overall situation.

After all, the efficiency of this kind of mobilization method is too high, far stronger than catching strong men or recruiting soldiers—————— the former is afraid that they will have to flee while arresting, as for the latter, considering the cruelty of this war, it is really difficult to say how many people will be willing to enter the army to serve at such a time, even if the number of people needed at the front line is enough, I am afraid that there will soon be another gap.

In fact, now the Beiyang side has also begun to find ways to replenish the soldiers for the troops on the front line because of the large casualties of the troops. It's just that the troops belonging to Beiyang now basically have places that need to be stationed, such as Zhili, Northeast, Outer Mongolia, etc., and the troops that can be mobilized are really pitiful.

And if it is recruited directly, the efficiency is really too poor—————— as for forcibly pulling strong men or something, Yuan Shikai has never thought about it, after all, Beiyang has not fallen to that point now, and he also knows very well that the soldiers who are forcibly pulled in are unlikely to have any combat effectiveness, so the means he takes are similar to Yan Shao, and he also directly draws a group of people from the militia to supplement the front line, as for whether those soldiers are willing or not, it is not for Yuan Shikai to care...

(In peacetime, reserve soldiers participate in militia organizations in units with militia organizations, and are integrated into reserve forces where there are reserve forces, serve in soldier reserves, participate in reserve military training, and perform military duties. The source of reservists is usually retired soldiers, and citizens who meet the conditions for military service but are not on active duty are another important source of reservists. ）

In fact, most of the reservists mobilized by the Ministry of Civil Affairs this time are soldiers from local militias and reserve forces. It is precisely because of this that they have received some preliminary training, but now that the military government has only been established for a year, just taking care of the nine infantry divisions is enough of a headache, and there is no way to transfer more officers to train the reserves, and there are no so-called retired soldiers in the National Socialist Army so far, so the combat effectiveness of these militias or reserves is relatively scummy.

"In addition to the problem of soldiers, there are also weapons and ammunition, and at present, the weapons and ammunition required by these reservists have been taken out of the stockpile, and they will be transported to the front line in Suzhou by train in the near future, so there is no need to worry about equipment..."

Speaking of this, Zong Wu smiled at Zhan Tianyou, who was sitting on the side, if he hadn't repaired the railway from Anqing to Suzhou and Huaibei last year ago, I'm afraid this time the matter would be really difficult. If nothing else, the logistics alone are enough for them to have a headache.

————————————————————

At the railway station in Anqing and some other cities in the province. A large number of young adults who had just received mobilization began to board the train under the tearful send-off of their relatives. On the way, although a few family members or mobilized soldiers expressed their reluctance, they were finally pushed into the train by the escorted soldiers.

May 2 was the twelfth day of the battle between the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army. More than 15,000 reservists traveled by train from various cities in Anhui to the front line in Suzhou to replenish the losses of the frontline troops.

After arriving at the Suzhou front, these soldiers from all over Anhui were incorporated into many of the units that had just been replaced. In addition to resting and recuperating, these troops also need to carry out a rebirth and transformation of these new recruits who have just joined.

Although these people have received a certain degree of training before they are integrated into the troops, it is the responsibility of the officers of these units to make them understand that the training life in the rear is completely different from the life at the front. And they will also receive what is likely to be the first and only weapon in their lives—————— if they die on the front line, it will naturally be the first and only weapon in their lives...

At this time, the National Social Army was established for too short a time, and there were no discharged soldiers entering the reserve at all. At this point, Beiyang is much stronger than the National Social Army, after all, it is a unit that has been in the army for many years.

The influx of new recruits has certainly weakened a lot of the combat effectiveness of the troops, but at least they have the qualifications to fight again. And the battlefield is the best school, even if it's a recruit who has just come out of the military school. Just roll back and forth in the sea of corpses and blood twice. After coming down from the front line, they will also become a group of veterans who kill people without blinking—————— provided that they can survive to the last minute, and the chances of the new recruits dying are much higher than that of the veterans...

Some of the recruits of the National Social Army have already been replenished, and the replenishment on the Beiyang side is still 'far away', which also makes the situation on the battlefield slightly unfavorable to Beiyang.

But even so, Feng Guozhang still did not change his mind, that is, to adopt another tactic to solve the matter of the National Social Army.

The way of working in the earth...

This method of warfare was not pioneered by anyone, but has been around for a long time, and the Japanese have been using it against the Russians since the time of the Russo-Japanese War.

Nature. If you do this, you can't completely avoid the power of the opponent's machine guns, otherwise the battles of the Somme and Verdun would not have suffered so much loss. But anyway. There is always some effect, and it is much stronger than letting the soldiers cut the barbed wire fence in the dark of night every day, and then being discovered by the other party's flares at the very least, and solving it suddenly...

"Starting today, we change the way we fight, understand..."

"Understood!" Looking at Feng Guozhang's majestic expression, everyone nodded one after another.

At the same time, in the foreword headquarters of the National Social Army, Fu Xiuming also made the following answers.

In the past time, it was not only Beiyang who was attacking them, Fu Xiuming also took advantage of the opportunity at night to organize several offensives.

It's a pity that either it's bad luck, or it's too slow when cutting the barbed wire, and the other party finds out. Anyway, only one out of five times will succeed.

And because the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not as good as that of Beiyang, the casualties each time will not be much smaller than Beiyang, which is also the reason why Fu Xiuming is in a hurry to change his tactics.

"I just hope this tactic will succeed..."

————————————————————

Under the orders of the commanders on both sides, many soldiers were soon sent out to carry out excavation work outside the range of the opposing machine guns. Because the National Social Army is equipped with sapper shovels, it is more or less efficient to use than Beiyang—————— and the steel quality is better, so it is naturally much easier to use.

As a result, in just two or three days, the efficiency of the Nationalist Army has already surpassed that of the Beiyang Army. However, at the same time, both the Beiyang and the National Social Army also discovered the dynamics on the opposite side.

When they found out that the other side actually had the same idea as their side, Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang were also taken aback. In the end, they also chose the same way to interfere with their opponents, that is, to have their own artillery groups shell the enemy troops who were digging on the opposite side.

In the past, because the quality of Beiyang's artillery was much higher than that of the National Socialist Army, every time the artillery of the National Socialist Army did not take advantage.

But this time, it was the side of the National Social Army that had the upper hand. One is that the number of artillery pieces of the National Social Army is more than that of Beiyang, and the other is that there are many 105mm caliber howitzers among them.

An extra caliber of 30mm, after all, is not a joke.

And this time the targets are all within range, not even half the range.

The reason why the artillery of the original Kuomintang Army did not take measures against the Beiyang artillery was that they were very close to the limit of the artillery of the Kuomintang Army, and although it was within the firing range, it was almost impossible for the artillery of the Kuomintang Army to hit the opponent in the first shot with the ability of the artillery of the Kuomintang Army.

And by the time they found a new position in the correction of the artillery balloon, they would have already shifted their positions ...

However, this time, the other party is really within their range, and the target is fixed, even if they want to run, they can't run away...

But then again, because the caliber is still a little too small, the loss of the uprising in Beiyang is not much, but the speed of excavation has been reduced a lot, so that the National Socialist Army quickly dug not far from the Beiyang tunnel... (To be continued......)
