As the saying goes, "Only by fighting an unprepared battle can you remain invincible." The Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Governor's Office have been preparing for this upcoming war for more than ten years, and the result is Reflected in many aspects.
Due to the special nature of the fighting area, altitude sickness is almost inevitable. Based on countless experiences and lessons accumulated over more than 200 years, it is natural to prepare corresponding drugs and medical equipment in advance.
After eating their first meal since crossing over, which was a few cans, the medical team and those "babies" that set out from the brigade headquarters arrived at the first battalion's station.
The battalion-level units of the Ming Army did not have medical units under their jurisdiction during peacetime. The latter were concentrated at the regiment or brigade headquarters on ordinary days for unified management. During wartime, they would be dismantled into multiple medical units and distributed to each battalion.
As for the so-called "baby", there are actually five private doctors, three women and two men. Except for the leading middle-aged male doctor, the rest are all young people who are just starting out.
Facing Zhou Changfeng's doubtful gaze, the leading doctor understood it and explained with a sigh: "Sir, acute altitude sickness is quite dangerous. There are not many doctors who are good at it. The incident happened suddenly... and we had to deal with it."
Not long ago, several groups of doctors specializing in cardiology or respiratory medicine around the capital have been recruited to join the army, and the current Third Mixed Brigade of the Guards has received a temporary departure order, so they can only do the next best thing and recruit them nearby. .
Accompanying the medical team was a batch of targeted special items, including 100 boxes of mannitol, 120 boxes of Codonopsis and Rhodiola rosea pills, and four small oxygen concentrators.
Mannitol is a commonly used dehydration drug and is used to treat cerebral edema; Codonopsis and Rhodiola Pills are a compound traditional Chinese medicine that has a certain preventive effect on altitude sickness.
"We will leave early tomorrow morning, so don't touch your personal belongings. Now take the time to rest."
"well."
It can be said that Zhou Changfeng has basically entered the state after a few hours of adaptation, as if he has left his past before time travel behind.
Let's just take things as they come, let's settle the current things first.
Based on the information he gathered during this period, as well as the memories he subconsciously fed back, he knew that today's Ming Dynasty was barely a constitutional country, and had already completed preliminary industrialization.
Looking back at history, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian hanged himself in Meishan, and the Ming Dynasty died. After that, Wu Sangui opened the door, the Shun army was defeated in the Battle of a Stone, the Qing army marched straight in, and Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain... Everything in the beginning was the same as Zhou Changfeng's. The memory is the same.
However, at that moment when the mountains and rivers were shattered, a descendant of the Zhu family's royal family appeared inexplicably, that is, an unknown Lieutenant of Fengguo who caught a lot of people?
He didn't bother to get involved with the Nanming, who was constantly fighting among themselves. Instead, he formed his own faction, strengthened his troops, and made friends with the remnants of the Shun Army, the Zhongzhen Battalion, and so on... Finally, after sixteen years of arduous efforts to turn the tide, he finally reunified the north and south of the country.
Although the emperor is indeed a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of blood, the restored Ming Dynasty is actually fundamentally different from the original Ming Dynasty. It is more accurate to call it "Later Ming". In addition, since it is a standard pioneering contribution, the temple name of this ordinary-born Fengguo Lieutenant after his death will naturally be Gaozu.
Regarding this unrecognizable history, Zhou Changfeng couldn't help but mutter to himself - Damn it! Isn’t this a replica of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties? This Ming Emperor took the script written by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, right?
However, it is a sigh of relief. For a major, these are not important. The top priority now is to complete the imminent task.
War itself is a complex collection, involving all aspects. As the saying goes, "laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the door." Military enthusiasts are often more enthusiastic about the weapons and equipment of an army. However, in Zhou Changfeng's eyes, these are secondary, and the organizational structure That's the key.
The army of an industrial country must have a complete and usable weapons and equipment system, so he does not need to worry about this aspect.
What he cares about is the specific organization of his unit. He must know that commanding a foot infantry unit and a mechanized infantry unit are completely different.
After returning to the room, Zhou Changfeng rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and then shouted outside: "Xiao Li, I found the standard staffing table. Where are the training regulations and officer's manual?"
After a while, he found a large number of books and pamphlets, which can be described as a dazzling array - "Infantry Drill Manual", "Army Actual Combat Essentials", "New Theory of Coastal Defense Operations", "Weapons and Equipment of Various Countries", " Tactics", "Operation Strategy of Mobile Forces".
These things...pick a few important ones and take them with you, and then read them when you get on the train.
Knowing that Zhou Changfeng wanted to bring these, the young guard couldn't help but be a little confused. Why did this senior growth officer have to improvise?
At this moment, Zhou Changfeng opened his locked safe and found several red-headed documents issued by the Governor's Palace.
He quickly browsed one of them. The entire document was written vertically and arranged from right to left. The eight red characters "General Orders of the Governor's Office" on the far right were particularly eye-catching. The content mainly required the strict implementation of the payment of military pay. Be sure to eliminate any deductions.
Uh-huh... it seems that withholding military pay has been a fine tradition of the Ming army since ancient times?
The other order is different. It is titled "Military Order of the Governor's Office" and reads:
"I urgently order your troops to shift to combat readiness from now on, inspect their armaments, and prepare their troops hard. We will complete battle preparations within four days and plan to set off on June 16th. If there are any changes, please wait for notification from your superiors. This order will be followed without fail."
At the end of the article, a square, bright red seal is clearly visible, with four large official script characters: Seal of the Governor's Mansion.
The so-called Metropolitan Governor's Office is actually a derivative of the Five Military Governor's Office, and is now the highest military command institution of the Ming Dynasty.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, it is extremely important to know the true status of his subordinates at all times, so frequent personal inspections are indispensable.
Even though it was already the time when the moon was shining on the willow trees, the lights in the station were brightly lit, as bright as day.
Looking at the trucks loaded with weapons and equipment, something flashed through Zhou Changfeng's mind. He turned around and asked in confusion: "Has the Sichuan-Tibet Railway been completed?"
The mixed brigade is a motorized unit, and its demand for logistical supplies is much greater than that of an ordinary dismounted infantry unit. If there is no railway...
Xie Wancheng, who was following him, was a little stunned. What nonsense are you talking about, sir? That was Uzang. The height difference was huge, frozen soil was everywhere, and the Hengduan Mountains had to be penetrated. The average altitude was more than 12,000 feet. Building a railway on the top of the world seemed like a pipe dream.
After getting a negative answer, Zhou Changfeng immediately frowned, "Huh? There are only Sichuan-Tibet and Qinghai-Tibet highways? Then why... forget it."
He swallowed the second half of his sentence - why not send a lightly-armed infantry unit to reinforce, instead of sending motorized units to that place at the expense of the best?
