Chapter 92 Strength and Team

In the early morning of summer, Tieling was always foggy, as if covered with a layer of gauze. At dawn, a "flyer" reconnaissance aircraft circled over the position of Zhou Hejun in Tieling City for a long time. There was no gunfire or gunfire. Now, as in the past, for the plane above my head, I still didn't There is any means of countering. When it was fully lit up at dawn, several more reconnaissance planes passed through the air, and then flew in several directions.

At 7 a.m., at the front of the position of the Second Division, a new captain came. He was wearing a new Type 38 uniform and a new military hat. Anyone who could see from his brand-new khaki uniform and new military rank on his body was an officer who came to the front line from the mainland.

In the past few days, new officers have been added to Tieling. Although the withdrawal has begun, it does not prevent each division from supplementing middle and lower-level officers who have suffered heavy losses while withdrawing.

Cold guns, since the outbreak of the war, the Chinese cold guns have taken the lives of too many people, but most of them are middle and lower-level officers. For this reason, almost after the armistice agreement was reached and the joint communiqué was issued, the first thing the Japanese army did was to transport a large amount of military supplies to North Korea by cargo ships, but also mobilized a large number of special forces. College students and college students, and even science students who were exempted from military service, were also conscripted into the army as grass-roots officers after the liberal arts students were recruited.

"Okay, get ready! Leave this afternoon!"

After arriving at the front line and introducing himself to the third squadron, Kang Ben looked at the raged soldiers and said only one sentence.

"Ah!"

The army is about to withdraw!

Where will you go?

"It may be a triumphant return!"

"Shut your mouth, is this a victory?"

"After all, we repelled the Lu people, not..."

In all kinds of comments, the troops began to withdraw, but the bits and pieces were loaded into carriages. In any case, for these Japanese soldiers, they were reluctant to throw away their supplies - old leather shoes and cloth bags full of rags. The so-called materials were loaded into the corners of the carriage, and the curses rang again.

"What if there is no horse? Do they want us to pull the carriage? How many roads do we have to go ahead?

No one knows how many roads to go. Although China agrees to provide them with trains, everyone understands that the trains that can run on the Nanman Railway are very limited. The railway is a Russian-style wide-gauge, and Chinese standard-gauge trains can't run on such a wide-gauge railway at all.

Despite the continuous sound of spells on the front line, they still silently rested on the green grass, quietly smoking, packing up their things, and wrapping their legs again. Then with the order, these days left their positions.

"Oh, I really don't want to leave here!"

"Yes, such a vast land, how good it would be if it were Japan!"

"It's not so much wasteland. It's a waste of people in China!"

"Stop dreaming, we were beaten away by them!"

A cruel and ruthless word shattered their illusions. For these soldiers, they had comforted themselves that they had not been defeated, but everyone knew that the reason why they were not defeated was that the Chinese did not intend to destroy them at all.

The defensive position of the Second Division no longer exists in just a few hours, except for the arcs and curves drawn on the military map. They spent 30 days and nights digging fortifications, covered with 3 or 4 covers and tried their best to disguise them with grass and branches, and now everything is useless.

In a few days, it will become a place full of sludge, smelly water and frogs. It will collapse. The grass on both sides of the trench will become more dense. Maybe there will be some children who will go to this place where many human tragedies have been staged and how many evils have been staged. They collect those rusty bullets, which may be made of copper. And all of this is left by us without fighting or firing a shot.

When the soldiers pushed heavy carriages along the railway to Dalian and Lushun, the Russians built the railway next to the railway, and the rammed roads were full of ordinary people from all directions. They looked at these oriental soldiers who brought disaster to them.

In front of civilians, there are guards in straight military uniforms with live ammunition. All of these guards are carefully selected. They are about 180 in height. When they look at Japanese soldiers who are generally under 155, they even need to look down, thanks to the army's high-intensity training and good Food, although the soldiers on the roadside wore military uniforms, the thin military uniforms still showed their strong muscles. When they looked at these soldiers, their eyes were full of contempt.

"Toyo Shorty!"

Whether it is soldiers or the people on the roadside, when looking at these oriental soldiers, they see that one side of the two [***] teams is tall and powerful, and the other side is short and like a beggar. The sharp contrast makes them can't help muttering in their hearts, and the roadside film photographers and photographers are more loyal with cameras and cameras. Record this scene.

When they looked at the Japanese army with contemptuous eyes, the Japanese soldiers also looked at them. The other party's straight military uniforms, tall body and strong physique made the soldiers in shabby military uniforms feel sorry for themselves. The army, which was originally quite good, changed after a few hours of marching. Without a trace of anger, almost all of them have a sense of self-eousness in their hearts.

At this time, there was a silence around, amazing silence, and even the dogs did not bark. Only the machine gunners on the truck behind the crowd or the convertible car looked at these Japanese soldiers with vigilant eyes, the machine gun vehicles set up every 100 meters. When there was an accident, these Japanese soldiers with Type 30 rifles. There is no room to fight back.

"Stand up your chest, like a soldier!"

Through the glasses, I saw the contempt between the people around me and the Chinese people. Although he was not as tall as 150, and he also had a sense of self-awareness in his heart, Kang Ben's downwind still made his subordinates look like a soldier.

Despite the supervision of the officers, these soldiers still walked silently with lack of confidence, as if to plead guilty, with their eyes down, no longer chatting, and no longer looking at the middle [***] people around them who made them feel guilty, but dragged their heads and headed south.

Ishii Jun Cao walked to the side of Yasumoto's downside. He was carrying a leather backpack. The worn-out backpack and worn-out military uniform made him and the soldiers around him look like a beggar rather than a soldier.

"Mr. Lieutenant, I always feel that the Chinese are not at ease at all."

Although there is no reason, I feel the change in the morale of the army, and there is a kind of pride that [***] people are slowly showing. A feeling that I can't explain it makes Ishii feel that the so-called escort along the way is like... Well, it's like escorting the prisoner on the street.

"Hmm!"

Kang Ben nodded down and glanced at that person as he passed by a [***] person. These people are not "told and stupid" Lu Guo, but in the middle of their lack of power to fight back on the battlefield [***]. Why did they do this?

"China's Sun Tzu's Art of War once mentioned that "the upper army attacked the army, the second attacked the diplomatic forces, the second attacked the soldiers, and then attacked the city." They wanted to suppress the heart of the imperial army with this aspect, and let our army come out of our own embenecy with their elite soldiers,..."

They succeeded!

When he said this, Kang Ben's face was full of bitterness. He knew that after this "street tour", the middle [***] people would be engraved in everyone's hearts. Whether they were officers or soldiers, as long as they were mentioned, they would think of these tall and powerful soldiers and the machine gun trucks. At that time, Do you still have the courage to fight with them?

"Attack the heart first! Attack the city!"

The sun shone brightly on Xiao Yu's face standing on the hillside. He had a cigar in his mouth. His Majesty sent him a plane to send him. It was just a box of cigars, but he knew what His Majesty meant. Of course, he could only understand it personally.

"The joint communiqué says that the political axe is not willing, I am not willing, and the soldiers are not willing. The whole country is unwilling. It is said that there is a truce in Russia, as short as half a year, as long as a year. It is possible to take the opportunity to declare war on our country. At that time, we will still meet again on the battlefield for a while!"

When Xiao Yuren spoke, there was a trace of worry on his face. To a certain extent, he did not agree with the complete break with Japan. After all, China's strength is limited now. On the surface, China's economy and industry far exceeds Japan, and even its military strength exceeds Japan, but this is limited to the army, while the navy It is China's weakness, while China's economy is heavily dependent on foreign trade.

China's factories are inseparable from imported machines, and the country must export silk, agricultural and mineral products and automobiles to obtain foreign exchange, which do not require maritime transportation. However, a full-scale war broke out in China, and the navy blocked the navy and China's economy... But this is your majesty's decision. He cannot disobey your majesty's orders. Therefore, what can be done is to prepare for the future war as much as possible, take the opportunity of "escorting" the Japanese army to leave the country, give them a certain psychological hint, and do not hesitate to select the most handsome, tallest and strongest officers and soldiers in the whole army as vigilant tasks. The lowest height is 1.82 meters, and the highest is 1.95 meters. This will give a psychological hint to these already tired Japanese soldiers.

You can't beat them!

Whether in terms of personal physique or weapons and equipment, you are not their opponents!

Only in this way can we win some opportunities in the inevitable war in the future, so as to use the advantages of the land battlefield to end the war with unacceptable losses.

"Director, you worry too much. After this war, there is still the capital to carry out another war. This time, I dare to say that if they are in North Korea, they will be exhausted if they don't lose both sides. At that time, even if they want to fight us, they have to weigh it by themselves! No wise general will continue to fight when the [***] team is exhausted. Of course, if you want to defeat the battle, it is one side!"

Lin Yanren smiled and said that he was obviously not as pessimistic as the director, and even he was very optimistic.

"Director, you haven't been to Japan. You don't know the situation there, Japan... Well, what should I say?"

After a moment of meditation, he continued.

"It is said that our country is small and poor. They industrialized earlier than us, but they can't live without us at all! Most of the steel mills, iron ore, coke, cotton in spinning mills, and raw silk in silk mills are from China..."

"That's why they want to attack China! China is the lifeblood of Japan!"

After interrupting Lin Yanren's words, Xiao Yu said carefreely that at the West Virginia Military Academy, he had studied the causes of the Civil War, not from beginning to end, not for the liberation of slaves, but for cotton!

"Can their strength be eaten?"

Lin Yanren looked at the distance and said something.

"When they fought Russia, they didn't want to win. Now their own strength and military strength can't support a full-scale war, especially the war to defeat a big country. After all, China now is not the Qing Dynasty eleven years ago!"

"It's good to prevent it from being unburned!"

After Lin Yanren finished his opinion, Xiao Yanren thought for a moment before he said.

"Before the uprising, Your Majesty once said that when facing things, we should be the best prepared and the worst, and then do one thing. Only in this way can we be fully prepared when we fail, so that we will not lose the whole game. China can't afford to lose!"

With a long sigh, Xiao Yanren looked into the distance.

"If I lose one game, they can't lose the capital, but if we lose, the wolf-like friendly countries will immediately rush up and divide us. Before this war, your majesty has even done a good job. Once the matter is defeated, even if we move the capital to Sichuan and fight for eight or ten years, we will also carry out the war. Going down, fortunately, everything is still planned. We were lucky enough to win the first one, the next one..."

"Director, you mean..."

From Xiao Yanren's words, Lin Yanren heard the director's words. The director was your majesty's confidant. If he said... there must be a big war in the future, but the question is with whom?

"The interests of Japan and Russia in China are eight or nine times, but there are also the interests of Britain, France, Germany and the United States. These four great powers all enjoy benefits in China. The concessions of Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan and other places, the eastern suburbs of Beiping, Weihaiwei, Qingdao, Jiulong and Hong Kong are all among us. In the country's place, there is only one way for them to spit out what they eat in their mouths, which is to fight! Defeat them on the battlefield!"

When the director said this, Lin Yanren noticed that there was not even too much self-confidence in the director's tone. On the contrary, there was a hidden worry. No one can be happy about this. The rise of a weak country is not a strong country, but the four major powers that dominate the world. Powers, who will not worry?

"For the time being, these four countries, among which the United States is a typical businessman country, they will not fight a war for some interests in China. Enough commercial interests can be exchanged for this country for giving up their special interests in China, and the special interests enjoyed by the United States abroad are themselves in the United States. Not widely supported. To a large extent, the United States is a naive and simple country. In those years, they also had concessions in China, but the Congress did not support it, and the people also opposed it. Even the annexation of the Philippines is also a disguise of "helping it obtain the final reading". This country is... fearful, but not afraid, but What I'm afraid of is his industrial strength. When fighting with this country, I have to count his chimneys first. If there are more than the United States, then fight. If there are fewer than him, then be friends. Your Majesty also knows this. Our imports of foreign machinery to the United States accounts for 40%, so the United States doesn't have to think about him for the time being! At least in the next ten or twenty years, he will be our friend!"

At this time, Xiao Yuren is like a diplomat. Here, he uses his identity as a soldier to comment on the enemies he may face in the future. To be precise, he is the enemy he will face.

"The rest are Britain, Germany and France! Britain is the first power in the world, and it enjoys the most interests in China, which can be said to be the biggest. Although our relationship with Britain now seems to be good, and even the queen is a British aristocrat, but if we want to move Weihaiwei or Hong Kong and Kowloon, this country will shoulder with us and involve the essential interests of the countries. Not to mention that the queen is a British nobleman, even if the queen is the daughter of the king of England, this battle will continue."

"Your Majesty has lost a lot!"

He made a joke directly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he almost regretted that he didn't want to bite his tongue, but Xiao Yiren just continued to say his opinion as if he hadn't heard him.

"It's not a loss. Why does Britain maintain basic neutrality now? In fact, this relationship is also affected by it. On the one hand, China is a weak country, and on the other hand, it is the queen's factor. Britain believes that this can exert more influence on China in the future, so as to obtain the interests of other state-owned enterprises. However, big Everyone knows that if the old problems between China and Britain are not solved, the war will only happen sooner or later. Therefore, when Britain maintains basic neutrality, it will keep lobbying us to negotiate with us. The purpose is to maintain the balance of power in the Far East. The British have played a balance for hundreds of years, which can be said to be handy. European The balance is about to be broken. Naturally, we need to maintain the balance in Asia!"

"The balance in Europe is about to be broken, director, do you mean Germany?"

"Yes, the Moroccan crisis, the British are on the side of the French. Germany's eagerness to break the world order, so as to obtain colonies and overseas markets has seriously harmed the interests of Britain and France. Europe's alliance against Germany is forming. In less than ten years, there must be a war. At that time, our The problem is the problem of standing in line. Standing on that side, it can be said that the war is the real battle between the life and death of the country. If you stand in a good team..."

"If we stand in line, all our problems can be solved! Director, do you think we should stand over there, Britain, France or Germany?

When walking down the mountain, Xiao Yanren left a sentence.

"When you don't have strength, to stand in line is to stand on the side of the winner!"
