At the command post near Changsha, at lunchtime, Zhao Weiguo and Li Ziming ate rice noodles and discussed the recent situation. Zhao Weiguo looked at the Jinling Times, which had just been issued yesterday, pointed to the bright red headline on it and said: "I can't think of it, I really can't imagine that this little lieutenant recommended to me by Wang Chong has such great ability." ”

Li Ziming touched the juice on his lips and said: "After this battle, the power of the Ming Dynasty in East China is basically over. Nearly 150,000 troops were wiped out in just over a year, and the elite of the Ming army was drained all at once. I'm afraid the rest is the strong army. I'm curious, Daddy Zhao, you said, how did such a good person end up becoming a reserve. Is the newbie quest of the colonial era so perverted? ”

Zhao Weiguo said: "His mission is mainly foreigners. Creation makes people. Just like you, who used to mess around in the black market neighborhood, and then came to your senses, it's not time to quit gambling. Li Ziming nodded abruptly and said, "I was cheated by foreigners!" Zhao Weiguo said: "Yunchenhe went to Tibet, and he couldn't come back in a short time, and Lu Ming's team is now settled in northern Shaanxi." Hurry up and hold the Imperial army south to me lately. It would be better if you could annihilate an army group. ”

Li Ziming said: "Don't worry, I know that during this time period, my side will definitely not let the Ming army in the south have the opportunity to run to the southern capital to give Emperor Yongcheng courage." Zhao Weiguo said: "Okay, I'll go north to Hubei soon." Connecting all of our road traffic lines. ”

At this time, the southwest of China originally occupied by the republican army had expanded to the Hunan border, and now Zhao Weiguo's troops were advancing towards Hubei, and it can be said that now the Ming Empire can directly govern and has not been affected by the war The only area is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. The greatest military massacre in the Ming Empire's fifty years is now breaking out in the north.

Camera cuts. On the battlefield, when both sides have the courage to stay on the battlefield, then the victory or defeat depends on whether the two sides can solve the problems of the other side. Anxiety doesn't solve the problem. Shelling, a long artillery bombardment hit both positions of the Republican Army, and ordinary ammunition explosions pushed all visible targets. And the incendiary bombs lit torches on the ground. Black smoke filled the entire battlefield, and the smell of burnt paste filled the air. The smell of burning fuel could hardly hide the smell of corpses that had accumulated on the battlefield in the past few days.

The shelling, as if it was because the shelling was not enough, had not yet frightened the anti-thieves on the opposite side, and the officers of the Seventh Army of the Reich were attracted by the wartime in the west, and they wished that these guys of the Fifth Army had been severely damaged in the process of suppressing the bandits a month ago. But now it is clear that everyone is in the same boat, and the rapid destruction of the Ninth Army in the northwest proves the strength of the Red Republican Army. It is not an imaginary bandit army that will collapse at the touch of a button. At this time, the Red Republican Army in front of these two divisions could not be defeated, and once the friendly forces of the Fifth Army to the west of themselves were wiped out, thinking about the consequences, they were besieged by a powerful enemy army several times their own, which was the rhythm of the regimental annihilation engine.

The pressure of defeat made the officers of the Seventh Army of the Imperial Army not calm down, and Li Sanhe, the highest officer of the Seventh Army, was anxious, and gave an order to the officers below to break through the enemy positions in front at all costs. "Documenting tactics in textbooks must solve the problem. How could the victory of the Imperial Army be wrong after so many years? "In a panic, thinking becomes rigid, and the occasional creative thinking is also made afraid to speak under the strict hierarchy and eerie tense atmosphere of this time.

After a long period of shelling, the observers, hiding in the trenches, looked up and saw a large number of identical soldiers in waves and new charges. The fanatical Imperial soldiers shouted boldly, their shiny bayonets in their hands, and their faces twisted to rush towards the position.

The squad leaders in charge of observation in each position immediately shouted from the Republican soldiers in the trenches: "The enemy is coming." "Eighty-zero mortar firing units and rapid-fire fire units hiding in positions began to prepare. Reaching the range of what the company commanders and battalion commanders of the Republican positions thought were very close, the mortars began to fire.

Mortars are fired in teams of two, one crouching is responsible for adjusting the angle, and the other is responsible for loading. When the person in charge of loading the shell loaded, he shouted that the reload was finished, and then the infantry who crouched down and operated the mortar replied with discipline, "Ready to fire." Then press the shelling button. In the whole process, every step of shouting is not missing. This is the experience passed on by Zhao Weiguo. Mortars, if operated alone, sometimes hit in a hurry, and a single shell was dud. Then repeat the reload with your hands, which will produce the phenomenon of exploding. In the final analysis, it is still a problem of unstable weapons, and no one can guarantee that there is no mute fire in mortar # shells. This can be avoided by alternating between two people who clearly operate the command step by step. It's a little slower, but it's better than a probabilistic explosion at your own position. Just like the early rotary Gatling gun, it was first shaken by hand, and it was easy to shake too fast and get stuck on the battlefield. Later it was much better to stabilize the rotation with an electric motor. On the battlefield, there is no room for accidental mistakes, and you need to play steadily.

Mortar # shells fell into the charging crowd and the waves of people blew up gaps in the formation, because human beings have the nature of huddles, when the waves of people are blown up, the soldiers will subconsciously move closer to the area where the waves of people have not exploded without organization. This is the nature of safety when there are many people, and this nature is correct in the process of human beings who have evolved to rely on group hunting for a long time, but in this era of industrial killing, it is easier to harvest when they are gathered together.

The short and rapid burst fire of the machine gun began, and the experienced machine gunner, with a shuttle bullet, fired at the crowd. Someone has conducted probability statistics on the battlefield, and one in three people on the battlefield of World War II was killed by mortar bombing. As for the probability of harvesting machine guns, that's not to mention.

Bodies piled up in large numbers in front of the position, and a tenth of the army rushed to the front of the Republican position, but what awaited was the same brave leap out of the trench and a bayonet battle in groups of three against one. However, at this stage, the artillery fire of the Imperial Army fell at this time. The brutality of war is evident here.

In the rear of the battlefield on the front line of the Republican Army, wounded soldiers# who were carried down from a shelter were transported here. Trenches can reduce artillery damage, but the battlefield is a murderous one, not an accident scene. A hundred people die only one a day, which is very good battlefield protection for soldiers, but you have to look at the dredging of people in the residential community for ten consecutive days to see who can stand it.

This is war. Zhu Yuerong's face was pale, nursing all kinds of wounded soldiers. Zhu Yuerong, who should have vomited, was already vomiting enough. The tragic situation of shrapnel smashing into flesh and muscles entangled is more directly shocking than the plasma movie of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The first time you can face this kind of scene, you can face it calmly, only the metamorphosis of incomplete emotional evolution. When human beings are faced with a blurred scene of flesh and blood, tigers, wolves, and beasts tearing our bodies apart in evolution, the memories given to us by our ancestors are all imprinted in our innate feelings. When faced with blood, people have an innate sense of danger. It's just that someone will take it.

In this regard, men are far more able to bear than women, from the simple material production system to explain the human race, women are the process of human replication of the next generation, bear the heavy responsibility of breeding and replication, so in the character of this heavy responsibility has been compromised, human beings are such a complex and sophisticated system, women in the process of gestation to copy this system, must be in a safe place. Character,Because of this heavy responsibility for childbirth,Conservative,Highly sensitive to thrilling and dangerous things.。

And the woman bears the heavy responsibility of giving birth to the next generation, and the man has to bear the responsibility of providing food and shielding the mother from danger. In the evolution of exploring the outside world and obtaining the replication and continuation of the race, men must take on the crisis situation when obtaining resources and exploration, and the character is jumping. When confronted with the bizarre, sometimes curiosity trumps fear. This is the reason why boys often scare girls with bugs.

This kind of evolutionary division of labor, if it is not in the absolute high-tech era, has always been an objective reality, women must not hold up half the sky, and have to have children after half the sky, how bitter women are. War makes women go away, and it is also necessary. As long as a country can requisition enough men, women must not be allowed to go to the battlefield, and in the process of evolution, it is determined that the complex environment of the battlefield is not suitable for women to bear.

The war is to be undertaken, Zhu Yuerong looked at the moaning soldiers, and for the first time felt naïve about the idea of wanting to be a general. Iron-blooded and ruthless killing, it sounds so cool and awesome, but under the sight it is terrified. Some disabled soldiers wake up to see that one of their limbs is missing, or that their concerned comrades are gone, and the sound of sobbing and choking is often present.

"Why rebel against the empire, if there is no rebellion, all this can be avoided" When Zhu Yuerong first saw all this, he wanted to find Ren Di and ask, "Why" However, three days ago, several soldiers let Zhu Yuerong, and the desire to question was suppressed. I didn't dare to continue asking.

At the last moment of their lives, they dictated the letter and asked several people in the nurse team who could write letters to write the last letters home.

One of the letters is written like this: "Dog baby, I want to tell you a lot of things, but there is no time, I didn't let you eat enough when I was a child, I was a father who was often pulled to gamble by the housekeeper of the big family in the village, and I lost a year's harvest a few times. Never let you read. ......, later Wang Dahu was driven away, I heard that no one gambled, and after everyone finished their work and harvested at the end of the year, there was food in the house, and you were also taken to school by the government. I don't understand a lot of things as a father, but what the army says is right, the mountains that oppress us have been pushed away. In the army, I and many of your uncles and uncles understand that people like Wang Dahu should not come back with such a system, and we should not have a master or an emperor on our heads. It's going to be dawn, but it's a pity that I'm leaving, and the children's mountain is completely pushed to the back, bring a glass of rice wine and tell me about what happened after I left. ”

Zhu Yuerong ghostwrote this kind of letter many times, and the phrase "the sky is about to dawn" appeared many times in the last words of these ordinary soldiers. Without the religious brainwashing madness that the Imperial newspapers say, this fighting army is not driven by madness, but by the hope, the hope that the future will be changed by itself.

The rebellious empire has a high price to endure a brutal war, but there are people who are willing to pay this price, and what is the precious thing that this price is exchanged for? Why can't the empire provide such a precious thing. The party lessons that Zhu Yuerong considered to be brainwashing were irrepressibly floating in his mind. Three mountains, colonial capital, Bo exploitation. The significance of land reform. Zhu Yuerong didn't want to believe these fallacies, but at this time, when faced with an unexplainable situation. It seems that only the fallacy that I was unwilling to believe before can be explained.

It is not easy to talk about war, but there are some hopes that are worth the price of war.

The artillery fire did not allow for too much thought, and more wounded came down to increase the work of the medical team. When transporting the wounded, Zhu Yuerong was surprised to find a large number of wounded soldiers in the uniform of the imperial army, but after questioning, Zhu Yuerong was silent again, these imperial soldiers were the last to fight bayonets on the position were wounded by the artillery of the imperial army. The panicked Imperial Army soldiers, after being beckoned into the trenches to take shelter by the Republican soldiers, silently laid down their weapons.

The number of war casualties was also sent to Ren Di, who glanced at it, looked up and said to the officers of the General Staff: "The battle against the Fifth Army should be over within four days. Seeing the thinking faces of some officers in the face of this difficult problem, Ren Di said: "You can let a few openings and let some people in the Fifth Army escape." ”
