The scorching sun was scorching, and a terrifying roar came from the Tiexi Camp, adding a bit of heat to this hot afternoon, but this heat made people feel a sense of blood boiling.

Today is the official day for recruits to enter the camp.

Nearly 30,000 new recruits officially joined the training camp of the northern Henan security forces, where they will spend the most unforgettable three months of their life in the new recruits.

This will be the next starting point in their lives.

Leng Feng led military and political generals at all levels of the New First Army to attend and speak, and also attended the afternoon training ceremony.

This speech is the first time for Leng Feng. After all, the total number of new recruits and instructors participating in the training is as many as 30,000.

This is the first time so many soldiers are concentrated in one camp to train.

"...I don't care who your son or who your husband before I come, you will lose these identities for me. In these three months, you are just a recruit...being ready to lose a layer of skin..."

Simple words resonate with many people and applause continues.

The camp is divided into two major regions, north and south, one major region is divided into three communities, with a scale of 5,000 people in each community. According to the scale of 300 people in each camp, there are a total of 200 training camps!

Six of them were officer training camps.

The general officers were trained separately by soldiers, mainly because this reorganization training was completely different from the training of recruiting new recruits.

If these so-called "official officers" are arranged to train with soldiers, there may be a lot of trouble. If you want to transform a team of mobs, you must break the rules and start over.

Training these people is actually much more difficult than training recruits with a blank sheet of paper. Many inherent habits or experiences are stubborn diseases they need to deal with.

Of course, it cannot be too absolute. Some people with combat experience are very plastic and are more likely to achieve results. This is just relative.

The army is a melting pot, and kicking people does not mean giving up. It just so happens that young and strong workers are needed to build roads and build various fortifications.

If these people are put into society, they will have problems. It is better to give them a job, at least not to lose money.

He killed two birds with one stone. Mr. Hou Jingru, a railway expert from Le, called Leng Feng and told that with these strong labor force, the restoration of Xinzheng Railway has been greatly accelerated.

"Jianchu, let you be the director of this camp, you really chose the right person. How about it? Isn't it very fulfilling?" Leng Feng asked with a smile.

"Take it down, I'm almost in a headache. Those people are all full of bad habits. Some are making troublesome things to drink, some are making troubles to find women, some are smoking cigarettes, and don't sleep at night and gambling. There are really everyone who has them. If you want me to see, these people are useless and let them get out of here." Liao Sen smiled bitterly and said to Leng Feng.

"This is not possible. Although these people have many problems, we still have to work hard to transform them into people that can be used by us. Their bad habits are not entirely their own reasons. We cannot look at problems in one size fits the whole, we must analyze specific problems in detail, especially not ignore the role of role models." Leng Feng smiled and said that setting a model for political work is much more useful than empty preaching.

"A shot and a sweet date are useless. These are all old people, they are thieves!"

"Find a way to isolate a person, then pull him over, and then set a typical example, rewards and people are profit-seeking animals, so there will naturally be people who will approach us. For those who cannot support the mud, as time comes, they will give up what should be given up, and the new army will not raise idle people." Leng Feng said.

"Military, I understand what you said." Liao Sen said seriously.

"Do you understand?"

"Compared with you, I feel that I am already very kind."

"Haha, Jianchu, Ci does not control the troops. Those of us who lead the troops must always remember this. We must consider the interests of the majority of people. This is the greatest goodness." Leng Feng said solemnly.

"Liao Sen understands."

"I will leave the Tiexi Camp to you. Three months later, I hope you can train all these people into qualified soldiers. Do you still remember my requirements for this army?" Leng Feng handed the Tiexi Camp to Liao Sen. He really didn't have the energy to distract himself from this.

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

"That's right!"

Whether it was the Japanese army launching a key attack on northwestern Henan or the very strange battle situation, it made him feel a little crisis. I am afraid that this peaceful life will not last.

"The military seat, the Administrative Office called and said there was an emergency military information."

"What military information, so panicked?" Leng Feng scolded Guo Weiquan lightly. He had been with him for so long, why haven't he learned to remain calm in the face of changes?

"Military seat, Hankou urgently sent a flash. A Japanese army landed in Anqing in the rain at noon today, and Wuhan was already in chaos." Guo Weiquan said excitedly.

"It's true." Leng Feng's face turned cold. He had already issued a warning to Wuhan. He was worried that his people would be slight, so he would give Li Delin first, hoping to remind Jiang Jiang through him.

I didn't expect these people to take them seriously.

"The military officer had expected it long ago?"

"I am not as arrogant as Japan. I will regard me as a strategic target for the key attack. In addition to grain and minerals in northern Henan, which point is more important than Wuhan? The Two Lakes Plain is also an important grain-producing area. Since ancient times, there has been a proverb that "Huguang is familiar and the world is sufficient." The Japanese army is in Wuhan and does not occupy such a strategic town. If I have to fight with an ordinary general who leads troops, Is it true that the Japanese and domestic senior officials are in trouble?" Leng Feng hummed.

"Military throne, is the Japanese army's focus on military operations to attack northern Henan?"

"It should be a fake move to confuse Wuhan. Another point is to restrain our new army. Their Xuzhou Battle was because of our appearance, which caused heavy losses. I just found an excuse to kill two birds with one stone. Except for the old Japanese Kenji Doihara, only Okamura Yanji can think of it." Leng Feng analyzed.

"This Okamura Yanji is really a terrible opponent."

"I really want to see this Okamura Yasuji, but I don't know if there is this opportunity right now." Leng Feng said with regret.

As for now, the New First Army cannot withdraw from the south to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.

Moreover, even if the battle in Wuhan starts, it will not end in a short while. The generals of the Party and the country are not all full of money, and there are still capable people.

When returning to the Administrative Office, the specific information about the Japanese raid on Anqing has been summarized one after another.

There is almost no difference from history. The difference is just time. One occurs on June 11 and the other occurs on July 26.

It was a month and a half late.

The main force of this elite Japanese army attacking Anqing was a brigade from TW. The brigade commander was Shigeichi Hatan, who was a lieutenant general. In addition, there was the 11th Marine Corps.

Most of the troops of the Hatan Detachment are from the Kyushu area of ​​Japan, Honami. They were previously stationed in the TW area and were a force that could adapt to combat in the hot and rainy subtropical areas.

This army once participated in the Battle of Shanghai. It was led by Chiaki Shigefuji. At that time, the Japanese army landed in Guangdong. Therefore, it was quickly pulled back. After resting in TW for half a year, it was pulled out and organized into the Central China Expeditionary Army of Hata Shunrok.

This time, as the main attack force along the north bank of the Yangtze River, it can be said that Shunroku Hata had high hopes.

Since the establishment of Anhui Province in the early Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Anqing has always been the provincial capital. It is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River in southwest Anhui, between Nanjing and Wuhan, the other side is Jiujiang in Jiangxi, and Huangmei in Hubei to the north. It is particularly important in military and geographically, with the saying that "the Yangtze River is sealed by thousands of miles, and Wu and Chu are the first state to divide the border." In the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a fierce battle for Anqing broke out here. Zeng Guofan tried his best to capture Anqing, and used it as a base to finally conquer Nanjing.

This month and a half has been of great help to the government, at least the preparations are more sufficient, and the troops lost relatively less in the battle of Xuzhou.

"The Fifth War Zone has urgently dispatched Tang Keqin's 20th Army to assist Yang Sen's 27th Army, but the problem is that heavy rainstorms have been falling in northern Anhui, and the 20th Army will take at least three days to arrive. Although the Japanese army was also affected by the heavy rain, they are advancing on land and water, and the speed is much faster than ours."

"The 6th Division attacked the front line of Tongcheng in the rain. Yang Sen's army suffered heavy casualties. The 199th Division of the 87th Army of Xu Yuanquan's army retreated to Lu'an counterattacked Shucheng. He was slightly defeated, but was repelled by the Japanese army and suffered heavy casualties. He retreated to Yuexi area for rest."

"The 199th Division was reorganized by Hunan local security forces, and more than half of them are strong men. How can such a force be undefeated if it is pulled up?" Du Guangting said angrily.

Everyone in the room was silent. Now, except for a few elite troops, isn’t this the case?

New recruits and strong men account for half of them. Although the Japanese army is not short of supplementary troops, they have a complete military service system. Once recruited, these soldiers are at least veterans who have served or even have combat experience. As long as they are a little familiar with the battlefield environment, their combat effectiveness is completely comparable to that of active soldiers.

How do you compare this?

So, don’t blame some people for not having confidence in this war, nor is it that it makes no sense at all. It’s just that these people have never been straight and are greedy for death.

"The military captain, the telegram of the Military Commission, after careful consideration, decided to establish the Shandong-Northern Henan Joint Command, with the commander of the New First Army and the Director of the Henan Administrative Office Leng Feng as the commander of the Joint Command. He agreed to command the National J troops in western Shandong and northern Henan to fight against Japan, crush the Japanese army's key offensive plan against Shandong and northern Henan, and to support the defense battle of Wuhan. This order: Chiang Kai-shek, July 26, 27th year of the Republic of China."

Leng Feng's eyes instantly stared at the boss. When did the old man become so generous? He was willing to give him an official position. Before he was promoted, if he hadn't had the strength, he would be embarrassed to "add an official position" to himself and take the initiative to promote himself. This is the sun hitting the west side.

"Congratulations to the military officer!"

"This seems a bit too sudden. What kind of official is the commander of the joint commander? Is it clear that he can command those troops?" Leng Feng asked.

"The main ones are all national j troops in northern Henan, the Eighth Army, the 68th Army, the Third Army and the Shandong Minister Army, as well as some anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines." Guo Weiquan said, "The specific affiliation will be sent in detail later."

"It seems we have to celebrate tonight!" Chief of Staff Xie Jiyuan cheered.

"Is it necessary to celebrate, Military Season, should I make an exception to drink some wine in the evening?"

This is the first time that Leng Feng is in a vain and is in charge of a large army of more than 100,000 people.

"Drinking alcohol will be spared. It can make people get some iced watermelon juice, which can be delicious and relieve heat." Leng Feng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and drank to celebrate. It was not time yet.
Chapter completed!
