Soon after the "Zhongjing" hospital ship sailed out of Xinjin Port, a certain bureau of the General Staff of the Ming Military Department also issued an order for the general mobilization of the whole army.

"Zhu Dashuai's No. 1 order: All divisions and regiments, special operations brigades, production and construction corps, warships, and Jinyi guards should immediately enter a state of first-class combat readiness from now on, and all departments should make preparations for recalling officers and soldiers on leave, selecting and transferring officers, non-commissioned officers, and veterans to form a new unit! All departments must not make mistakes, and violators will be subject to military law! ”

The No. 1 order of Zhu Dashuai in the New Year of the third year of Dewu made the new military machine of the Ming Dynasty rumble again.

But at the same time, the old people of the Ming Dynasty also found that compared with the previous Ming War, which was fully mobilized, personally conscripted, and the battle of the country, this mobilization order was only limited to the army.

The students of Guozijian did not suspend classes, the workers did not organize armed pickets as a supplementary military force, and even the Tianziyan project was not suspended.

More than 10,000 workers have been carving the amazing face of Wan Sleepy Lord day and night, and strive to complete this iconic wonder of Fengdu as soon as possible.

It can be said that this time the accumulation of military forces did not cause any social turmoil, which also marked the growing strength of the Ming Dynasty and the increasing maturity of the Ming army.

Of course, mature troops must learn to fight on their own, and in this battle, Zhu Fugui is ready to strategize.

In fact, from the beginning of the battle to eliminate the mine protection team in the mining area, the battle for the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui has been cultivating the joint decision-making and independent command ability of the generals.

Of course, there is no way to do it without training, after all, Zhu Dashuai himself has no combat experience, and he has never even failed target shooting.

Because of this, in previous wars, the Ming Dynasty has cultivated a large number of generals who are familiar with the tactics of modern warfare.

In particular, Qi Wenchang, a former Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officer, may now be the most advanced thinker in the field of military technology in the world.

Very early, Qi Wenchang was assigned to the automobile unit and began his indissoluble bond with armored machinery.

In the teaching and training base, he, Fan Gangxin, and others had already familiarized themselves with and practiced a variety of tactics.

And today, it is the day when the Ming armored forces are pointing at San Francisco!

On February 1, the Great Tomorrow Son ascended the altar and gave the Tiger Talisman to Qi Wenchang, a colonel of the Ming Royal Army, and ordered him to lead the attack on Shanghai.

Qi Wenchang knelt on one knee, raised his hands above his head, and took the tiger talisman to show the three armies.

As pointed out in "Zhu Dashuai's Order No. 1", the conquest of San Francisco, or Xinhu, was a mixed force composed of various departments.

Its main body is the First Armored Brigade of the Royal Army, and at the same time, two gunboats of the naval division "Jiading" and "Yangzhou", as well as two regiments of the Special Operations Brigade, were transferred.

At present, Daming's divisions and towns still maintain the original appearance of the three-three establishment, and there is no division to brigade transformation of the US army, or brigade to division division of our army.

In the Ming Dynasty's provisional military system, the "A Division" has three brigades and nine regiments, the "B Division" has two brigades and six regiments, and the "C Division" has two brigades and four regiments.

The number of people in each group is about 1000-2000.

The 1st Division was a Division A, and the 1st Brigade had 6,000 men and was equipped with a large number of armored mechanical units.

The Special Operations Brigade is a relatively mysterious force, and the commander-in-chief is Yang Liu.

All along, their greatest military achievement may have been the material reinforcement operation against Tianjing City.

In other words, the special operations brigade does not have much experience in real combat and has no reputation.

But this is not to say that the special operations brigade is weak.

In fact, the original intention of the establishment of this unit was to emphasize urban operations and special operations, and training has been carried out around these contents for a long time.

Unlike the Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division's internal security unit, which is also based on urban operations, the special operations brigade faces an overseas combat environment, and the enemy in the exchange of fire is also a foreign enemy.

Dealing with foreign enemies naturally requires different operational concepts, such as eliminating evil.

This time, the General Staff of the Ministry of War directly transferred the combat strength of 3,000 people from two regiments of the Special Operations Brigade, which illustrated the importance of conquering the war in the cities of New Shanghai and China.

Together with the two gunboats of the North Pacific Naval Division, the total number of the main forces reached more than 10,000 people.

In addition, the Ministry of War ordered the Mo Bai Division, the 2nd Mixed Brigade, to provide cover for the campaign, interspersed with the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in order to cut off possible eastern support.

According to the instructions, Mo Bai's troops will maintain a high degree of mobility, and if necessary, cooperate with the main force to make feints and assist in the battle.

……

Looking at the army kicking off billowing smoke and dust to the south, Zhu Fugui had mixed feelings.

Although he thought that this was a complete deployment made by himself and the Ministry of War after repeated research, when it came time to see the real chapter, he couldn't help but think about this and that.

It's like an old father who sends his child into the examination room, always worried that his child will miss the question carelessly, or make other small mistakes, so that Tsinghua University and Peking University, which can be admitted safely, will miss out, and can only go to Peking University Jade Bird to show his ambitions.

Stepping down from the podium, a group of guards helped His Majesty the Emperor remove his crown.

This set of armor is no longer a plastic prop armor bought for hundreds of dollars.

Instead, Zhu Fugui spent a lot of money to buy the Datang Guangming Armor from armor lovers, weighing 60 catties.

Although the appearance is invincible and riotous, the dress is really a torturous thing.

The guards helped remove the armor, and Zhu Fugui did chest expansion exercises to restore the sensation of his limbs.

Yin Susu was dressed in a military uniform, glanced at Zhu Fugui, and said, "If you can't rest assured, why don't you go on a personal expedition?" The last general is willing to die with him! ”

"Phew, I think you just want to shoot a cannon!"

Zhu Fugui saw her little trick at a glance, and pinched her peach buttocks quietly, "Elbow, let's go back to the palace, isn't it good to try my cannon?" ”

……

It's really useless to think too much, it's not a wise move to learn from Chang Kaishen to engage in remote micro-exercises, or to learn from the ancestor to go to the Taimiao to ask for the blessing of the ancestors.

It's not that Zhu Fugui brags, but his unbearable ancestors, since Zhu Yunwen and below, they will go to the underworld by themselves in the future, and they can raise their necks when they see anyone, and they have to greet each other with a smile.

Whenever they dare to put up a little shelf, the Eight Eight Ancestors will hang them up and smoke them.

Although he did not plan to meddle in the specific operations on the front line, Zhu Fugui was not blind to the progress of the war.

Since the first commercial line was put into operation in 1839, the telegraph has replaced traditional forms such as beacons and flying pigeons, and has become the fastest and most effective way to transmit military information.

In 1850, the first submarine cable crossed the English Channel, connecting the UK to mainland Europe.

The first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid in 1857.

However, due to technical reasons, the transoceanic cable failed after only a few days of use.

It is also thanks to the failure of this transoceanic cable that there are obstacles to the information exchange between the North American continent and the British mainland, which allows Zhu Fugui to take advantage of a lot.

According to the original history, in 1866, the year after the Americans ended the Civil War, the cable across the Atlantic was repaired, and telegraph communications between North America and Europe were restored.

But in this day and age, the repair of the transatlantic cable seems far away.

In contrast, the telegraph of the late Qing Dynasty developed very late.

"The electric wire is from Taixi, no matter the water and land travel thousands of miles, the voice can be communicated instantly, which is really beneficial to military intelligence and commerce. That is, France is to Vietnam, Russia is to Hunchun, and Japan is to Korea, all have electric wires. Cover something to echo the swift, nothing to do business, so where the use of troops to land, trade docks, the other clan all seek to occupy the wire. ”

In this passage of Zuo Zongtang's words, there is helplessness between the lines.

Zuo, Li, Zhang and others later worked hard to erect many telegraph lines, but it was too late, and these telegrams eventually became a performance stage for the commanders and governors of the Republic of China to telegraph the whole country.

For the Ming Dynasty, the cable telegraph was not very technical, but it was also a novelty.

Zhu Fugui, as a later generation, went to the wireless telegraph at the beginning, and completely forgot about this incident.

Due to relevant laws and regulations, if he does not want to pay a high cultural value fine, Zhu Fugui can only buy an amateur radio station on the platform.

For example, the [ElecraftKX3 portable shortwave radio] with a unit price of 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan is very convenient to use, and can switch UHF and VHF frequency bands in the city and in the field respectively.

Shortwave communication is also not at all like later generations, which is deeply disturbed by various electrical clutter.

Such radios are installed on sea ships and [Hanqi 01] tank combat vehicles, as well as some transport vehicles.

However, after all, it is non-professional radio equipment, and it is definitely not as reliable as wired equipment.

Daming's intercity communication was eventually implemented through wired signals.

It is easy to buy reliable filters on the Internet, and the telegraph network built by Daming with Xinfeng as the center can transmit dozens of telegrams on a single wire, which is much more advanced and efficient than the single-channel telegraph currently used in the West.

This time, the 1st Brigade Engineer Battalion carried the relevant equipment and will lay a wire from the front line of the battle to Xinlu to ensure that the imperial court can know the battle situation on the front line at the first time.
