    Play as a substitute for training

    Not to mention the 36 105mm caliber howitzers of the division's light howitzer regiment, there are 75mm caliber field guns equipped by the three field infantry regiments. In my original Northeast Army, only troops above the military level were equipped.

    After Wu Keren officially entered the field force, the strongest artillery he saw and under his command was the mountain artillery battery currently equipped by each field infantry battalion, and there were only a handful of 18 of them.

    "But in front of me, the newly formed First Division under my command has a total of 54 75mm caliber mountain guns.  Not only that, there are a total of 54 75 mm caliber field guns equipped by the field artillery battalions directly under each regiment.

    Of course, what I just said does not include the six 60 mm caliber mortar platoons equipped by each infantry company.

    In addition to the artillery units directly under these regiments, battalions and companies, the division-affiliated light howitzer regiments are even more unexpected.  If the 36 105mm caliber light howitzers were placed in the original Northeastern Army, even a group army would not be able to possess them, let alone a division of its own.

    What shocked Wu Keren even more was that the commander-in-chief in front of him actually equipped himself with a large-caliber heavy howitzer regiment based on the standards of the ordinary field infantry division of the National Defense Forces.  Even in the former Northeastern Army, it was impossible to find a single howitzer with a caliber of 150 mm. In our newly formed First Division, there were actually 36 of them

    Shocked, Wu Keren, who looked dumbfounded and had his mouth open, reacted immediately and assured Li Guosheng excitedly: "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, the new First Division definitely has enough artillery to operate these artillery pieces"  "

    Li Guosheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good I will deliver all the weapons and ammunition required by the new First Division to the station within one day. In addition, I will also send two more bases."  Ammunition. But you have to remember that the extra ammunition is not for you to store, but for you to use it all in training. You must ensure that the troops can form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, become familiar with the weapons in your hands, and prepare  On the battlefield¡­."

    Wu Keren was shocked again.

    In the former Northeastern Army.  Even if a war breaks out, each soldier's ammunition reserve is less than two bases.  The National Defense Force, which is now rich and wealthy, only has two bases of ammunition used for training.

    There is so much ammunition used for actual combat training. If the troops are not well trained, Wu Keren's decades of military career will be in vain.  With a complex expression full of emotion and expectation.  Answer loudly.

    "Yes. The main seat"

    A steady stream of new troops of the National Defense Forces arrived in the Outer Mongolia steppes via air transport. The new divisions that received weapons and ammunition also began to hear the chaotic gunfire of soldiers training.

    Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky, Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Red Army.  Surrounded by a group of generals, he slowly walked into the brightly lit temporary headquarters of the Soviet Far East Military District.

    After glancing at the subordinates in front of him who were happy, excited, and of course sad because of his arrival there were various complex expressions on their faces.  Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky, who was full of confidence in his trip and had greeted everyone with a smile just now, suddenly became serious with his smiling face.

    Dozens of senior officers of the Far Eastern Army, including major generals and above, slowly focused their attention on Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky due to the increasingly solemn atmosphere at the headquarters.  A trace of murderous aura quickly emanated from Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky.  He said coldly to everyone.

    "Comrades, before announcing the specific tasks of my trip, I will read to you an authorization given to me by the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union before I left Moscow."

    "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the war in the Far East, the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union has specifically authorized Comrade Tukhachevsky as follows: Comrade Tukhachevsky has the right to execute all officers of the Far East Military District at the level of major general and major general by beheading first and then executing them by firing squadFig.  Comrade Khachevsky has the right to dismiss all officers of the Far Eastern Military District without reporting to the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union"

    After five words of "Have the right" were read out from the mouth of the Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky, everyone looked at Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky. It was no longer just a subordinate to a superior.  Respect, but the fear and respect a courtier had for the emperor in ancient times.

    After possessing various authorizations from the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union, Tukhachevsky standing in front of everyone is no longer just the Chief of General Staff of the Red Army.  It is the Far Eastern Emperor who holds the power of life and death over hundreds of thousands of troops in the Far Eastern Military Region

    After passing the authorization letter from the Supreme Council, it shocked the military generals with heavy troops in front of them.  Tukhachevsky's serious facial expression finally softened.

    After a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, he continued: "As for the authorization of the Supreme Committee, I believe everyone has heard it. However, I can also tell you for sure that as long as everyoneYou must obey orders in the struggle, and the rights granted to me by the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union will not be used on you.  Not only that, after the battle is over, I will personally celebrate everyone's victory.  "

    "Stick and carrot" is definitely the most effective way for Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky to deal with the arrogant generals in front of him.

    Seeing that everyone was finally shocked by him, the serious expression on Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky's face also softened.  After showing a passionate smile again, he said with a relaxed look: "Comrades, I have said everything I should tell you. Next, I will introduce to you the specific tasks of my trip"

    "The 350,000 troops of the Far East Army who invaded Outer Mongolia only lasted less than a month and were destroyed one after another in the counterattack of the Wehrmacht. After receiving this news, not only Comrade Stalin in Moscow was very angry, but also the entire Supreme Council of the Soviet Union  The committee members are also full of dissatisfaction with our Far Eastern Military Region"

    "Because of this, I was entrusted by the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union to go to the Far East Military District and concurrently serve as the interim commander-in-chief of the Far East Military District. I will direct everyone to continue to attack the Chinese National Defense Forces and recapture all the land that should belong to our Soviet Union"

    "In addition, let me tell you another piece of good news. In order to ensure the supply of the Far East Military Region for the next battle, starting a day ago, all kinds of equipment and ammunition produced by the Soviet military industry departments will be given priority to our Far East Military Region, especially  Fighters and artillery that can compete with the National Defense Forces on the battlefield, 80% of the total output will be continuously equipped in the Far East Military Region"

    After fully grasping all the military and political power in the Far East Military Region, Tukhachevsky, who was eager to prove his superior tactics to Stalin, quickly ordered the first round of attack troops to total five field divisions, five heavy artillery divisions, and three tank divisions.  Three hundred fighter jets, six hundred bombers, a total of 150,000 troops, pressed toward the Sino-Soviet border with dark clouds.

    At the former enemy headquarters of the National Defense Forces, less than fifty kilometers away from the Sino-Soviet border, Li Shaoqing, deputy director of the General Staff Operations Division, looked anxious.  Panting, he rushed to Li Guosheng.

    After delivering the telegram in hand to Li Guosheng.  He reported urgently: "Maintain, it's an emergency"

    "The Soviet Far East Military District has begun its offensive again"

    "According to reconnaissance, the Soviet Far East Army's first-round offensive force of 150,000 troops has arrived at the Sino-Soviet border. The war may break out at any time Not only that, their second and even third-round offensive troops are also beginning to prepare  .¡±

    Li Guosheng frowned, put the telegram on the desk in front of him, and asked in a serious tone: "Why are there so many heavy artillery and aircraftAccording to the configuration of the Soviet Far East Army, five field infantry divisions can be allocated two heavy artillery  The division is almost there, why are there five heavy artillery divisions"

    Deputy Director Li Shaoqing replied in a deep voice: "Not only has the artillery been strengthened, but in addition to the tanks that were defeated by us, Lao Maozi has also strengthened the air force."

    "Continuous bloody battles. Even if the Second Air Division that cooperates with us supplements the fighter jets urgently sent from the country, there will only be less than 150 fighter jets. As for Lao Maozi's Far Eastern Army, only the first round of offensive troops used 300 fighter jets, which is enough  It¡¯s twice as big as ours.¡±

    Li Guosheng, who was silent, subconsciously sighed: "Damn it, this is the advantage of an old industrial power. No matter how much equipment is lost, it can be replenished in a short time. Unlike us, after such a long time, even the loss of fighter planes  I haven¡¯t even replenished the fraction yet. I really envy Lao Maozi¡¯s industrial production capabilities¡­¡±

    Seeing Li Guosheng who was silent again in front of him, Li Shaoqing slowly showed an anxious look on his face.

    five minutes later.  Li Shaoqing couldn't bear it anymore and had to interrupt Li Guosheng who was in deep thought and asked: "General, a frontline battle could break out at any time. But we only have one field division and one artillery division deployed on the frontline. If the Soviet Red Army launches an attack with all its strength, it will take one day at the latest."  , these troops will be destroyed"

    "You think, should we immediately deploy heavy troops to reinforce the front line, or order the front line defenders to retreat proactively, let the Soviet invaders penetrate deep into Outer Mongolia, and then engage in a decisive battle with them"

    "We can't retreat" Li Guosheng, who suddenly opened his eyes and quickly shot two sharp glances outwards, said firmly after waking up from silence.

    After slamming his clenched fist on the telegram on his desk, he said with a murderous look on his face: "Not only can we not withdraw from the Sino-Soviet border defense line, we must also defend this line of defense to the death and resolutely defeat the invaders.  Stay outside China¡¯s borders.¡±

    Li Shaoqing seemed to have forgotten the identity of Li Guosheng in front of him. He was worried about the lives of the 20,000 soldiers on the front line. Like an angry lion, he asked Li Guosheng unexpectedly and loudly: "But our military strength is less than 20,000 troops, why?  To block the Soviets' 150,000 offensive troops, isn't that to allow 20,000 troops to die"

    Li Guo?He shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, and replied firmly: "Even if 20,000 troops really die on the battlefield, the Sino-Soviet border defense line must be defended."

    "However, what I want to say is that our 20,000 troops stationed on the border are not fighting alone."

    At this point, Li Guosheng, whose face suddenly darkened, decisively ordered: "Director Li, immediately issue a combat order in my name: the newly formed First Division of the National Defense Forces will assemble immediately and collect three more at the logistics warehouse.  After receiving basic combat supplies, they quickly headed to the Sino-Soviet border to join the war"

    ¡°The newly formed Second Division and the newly formed Commander of the Third Division of the National Defense Force will seize the time to conduct training. They will assemble in two days and four days respectively, collect corresponding combat supplies and head to the Sino-Soviet border to participate in the war"

    ¡°The 4th and 5th divisions of the National Defense Force¡¯s new recruitsall subsequent new field divisions will be assembled at two-day intervals and march to the Sino-Soviet border to participate in the war to keep the Soviet invading forces outside China¡¯s borders to the death.¡±

    After recording a series of orders, Li Shaoqing reminded him in a low voice: "Commander, are you really letting these people join the battle so early According to the situation reported by Commander Wu Keren yesterday, the newly-organized first division has just become familiar with weapons, and even the minimum  The overall formation training has not yet been carried out. In such a rush to send them to the battlefield, I am worried that the losses of the troops will be very heavy"

    Li Guosheng did not deny it, although a trace of hesitation flashed across his heavy face.  However, the firm expression from the heart replaced the hesitation in a short time.

    Facing Li Shaoqing, he affirmed: "The casualties are certain. Back then, one of the important reasons why the National Defense Forces dared to fight the Soviet Union and the Japanese at the beginning of its establishment was that the foundation for the establishment of the National Defense Forces had gone through the test of blood and fire.  The remaining elites. It is precisely because of these elites that the National Defense Forces have maintained the overall combat effectiveness of the troops during a series of expansions."

    "Now, I plan to use the Sino-Soviet war that is about to break out in front of me, and train the newly formed 350,000 new troops on the Sino-Soviet border, and remove the dross and extract the essence. By then. Thirty-five  Even if only 200,000 new troops can be left, the combat effectiveness of these 200,000 elites far exceeds that of the 350,000 new troops. More importantly, there are these iron-blooded elites who have experienced the test of war.  At any time, the 200,000-strong army may be expanded to 400,000. Or even 600,000, and the overall combat effectiveness of the army remains unchanged"

    Having said this, Li Guosheng finally concluded: "Although it is cruel to train troops through 'fighting as training', we have to admit that this is the best way to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops and enhance their sense of belonging to the National Defense Forces"

    "Okay, let's just give the order"

    a week ago.  After the cars loaded with various weapons and ammunition drove into the newly-formed First Division barracks, they looked at the bundles of Soviet-made rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars that were at least 80% new in the car Division Commander Wu Keren  It's like seeing a carriage full of gold, and you can't help but your eyes light up.

    but.  When various artillery pieces dragged by cars slowly drove into the military camp, Wu Keren's attention was immediately attracted by these large-caliber heavy artillery with black barrels as thick as a bowl.

    After being dragged by his subordinates, the heavy artillery pieces of different calibers were neatly placed in the middle of the military camp. Wu Keren, who was an artilleryman, was excited and rushed towards the 150 mm caliber heavy howitzer that shocked him the most regardless of his image.

    Holding the black cannon body that exuded bursts of cold air, he touched the cannon body which was thicker than the mouth of a bowl.  Wu Keren, who is already over 40 years old, seems to be caressing his wife.  The eyes looking at Cannon were full of tenderness.

    The infantry squad is equipped with light machine guns, the infantry platoon is equipped with heavy machine guns, the infantry company is equipped with mortars and individual rocket launchers with tank killers, the infantry battalion is equipped with mountain artillery, and the infantry regiment is equipped with field artillery

    After facing the subordinates who changed their clothes in front of them, both their appearance and spirit have changed.  A hint of heroic words came directly to Wu Keren's heart: With such an elite team in hand, he is absolutely capable of sweeping all division-level, no, corps-level armies in the country except the National Defense Forces.

    In order to go to the battlefield as soon as possible, Wu Keren, who was full of arrogance, began to train troops desperately.

    When the troop dispatch order from Li Guosheng was sent to Wu Keren, even if the enemy he was about to face was the Soviet Far East Red Army, Wu Keren was confident that with this well-equipped unit in his hand, he would be able to defeat the Soviet Far East Red Army on the battlefield.  A brutal blow.  Through a victory, wait until the National Defense Force recognizes it, and establish its position within the National Defense Force.

    Although the idea was good, the cruelty of reality was constantly eroding Wu Keren's ambition and heroism after he sent troops.

    When the troops led by Wu Keren got closer and closer to the battlefield, and the deafening roar of artillery fire began to faintly reach Wu Keren's ears, more and more military vehicles were encountered along the way.??

    Of course, what shocked Wu Keren was not the various transport vehicles blackened by gunpowder smoke, but the corpses of fallen soldiers in the compartments of military vehicles and the various wounded who had to withdraw from the battlefield due to injuries.

    Another military vehicle was approaching everyone. Along the way, the soldiers of the new first division, who had never seen such a tragic scene, subconsciously stuck their heads out of the car to take a look at the scene inside the car.

    "As the carriage got closer and closer to us, a soldier's corpse, with half of his head blown off and the remaining half of his head completely covered in red and white brains, first appeared in front of everyone.

    "And right next to this corpse, a half-body whose entire lower body had been blown off, and various internal organs had completely flowed out from the body gap, was staring lifelessly in the direction of everyone with a pair of dead eyes.

    Seeing this, many soldiers turned their heads away because they couldn't bear it and didn't dare to continue looking.  Of course, there were also a few more vulnerable soldiers who lay directly on the railings of the carriage and started vomiting.

    At this moment, in the carriage, a former Wehrmacht soldier who was assigned to serve as the platoon leader of the newly formed First Division suddenly stood up from the carriage under everyone's puzzled gaze.  After paying a military salute to the military vehicle filled with the corpses of various soldiers, he roared loudly at the subordinates with different expressions in front of him.

    "What are you doing here? Stand up and salute These are the soldiers who died fighting for the country. We must send them off for the last time. Because none of us know what will happen to us on the battlefield we are about to face.  Will I be like them and die on the battlefield Let's all salute the fallen soldiers"
