"Urgent call, urgent call! Urgent call from Tanggu!" Just when the Gate of Supreme Harmony was in chaos, the young eunuch Su La from the Military Aircraft Department sent an emergency telegram, making the atmosphere at the scene even more anxious.
If there are too many lice, don’t bite them; if there are too many tents, don’t worry! Come with whatever you have, Zai Chun waved his hand and asked them to read.
"At five o'clock in the evening, the three thousand elite troops of General Hunchun outside the Pass have arrived in Tangshan... and took a special train from the Kailuan Mining Bureau to the capital!"
"Your Majesty! General Hunchun's army has arrived, one after another!"
ah! This good news suddenly diluted the anxiety just now, and Zai Chun's face turned red with excitement. "Okay! When can we get to the capital? Okay, okay..."
Fu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, "My ancestors bless you! We still don't know what kind of locomotive we are riding and how many trains it has!"
"According to the slowest speed, if the Chinese can give the green light all the way, we can reach the capital in seven or eight hours... However, the departure of the army and the mobilization of materials, equipment and personnel are all chaotic, so we have to create a little margin! "
"Ten hours! In ten hours, General Hunchun's vanguard troops will be stationed in the capital!"
"The people coming this time are all infantry. The cavalry will take the route along Gubeikou. It will probably take two or three days to take the northern route..."
King Dun sighed, "No matter when it comes, as long as the vanguard arrives in the capital, we will be saved... This battle has been fought for the morale of one person!"
"Right now, the news that Britain has changed its prime minister has not spread yet. Even if it does, not many people may understand it, so for the time being, the stalemate among the people can continue!"
"The Sixth Japs chose this time to launch a general offensive. The purpose is very clearly to cooperate with Benjamin to attack us... No wonder the British Embassy hid Yikuang and Yixuan. It turns out that there have been changes within the British Japs!"
"Damn it, we don't know anything. There is no intelligence clue at all in Europe!"
"Your Majesty, please ask the Capital Police Headquarters to tighten martial law in the past few days. I can guarantee that there are already many spies spreading rumors within the Capital. This evil trend must be suppressed!"
"Hunchun's soldiers are really timely. With reinforcements, morale has been stabilized. The ancestors showed their spirits and the Buddha blessed us!"
Zai Chun breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while, "King Dun! Please do your best and go to the front line of Yongding River at night. I can feel relieved to have you supervising the battle... Don't go to Fuqing, stay in the capital and coordinate with Tanggu!"
"Train dispatching is a delicate job. One train can only carry a few thousand people. Hunchun has 20,000 infantrymen. How many trains are needed to transport them back and forth?"
"How can we continuously connect the transportation capacity? Fuqing, you still have some face, and the coordination in the industrial zone needs you!"
Fu Qing thought about it for a while and it was really true. "Hey! Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will try my best to mobilize more Chinese trains and strive for ten special trains to send all the troops here..."
Zai Chun's worries are really not unfounded. At this moment, the area around the train station of Kailuan Mining Bureau has completely turned into a mess. These Huben from outside the customs have never seen what a modern industrial zone or railway trains are. At this moment, Everyone is stupid!
Next to the railway station of Kailuan Mining Bureau, there are piles of coal dozens of meters high like mountains. The wind shafts of mining in the distance are blowing in, and the rotating turbines look like an eternity under the setting sun. Like a monster who doesn't know how to rest.
As far as the eye can see, there are factories and mines. The miners on shift are dark and only their eyes and teeth are white. They smile like ghosts.
When fighting, these fierce warriors outside the pass are not afraid of anything, and they are not afraid of hunting tigers, dogs, and bears. However, when they see this formidable industrial power, they are all frightened from their souls.
There was no arrogance at all. Before and after entering the customs, they were still a majestic imperial army. The soldiers and civilians along the way knelt to pick them up. Any larger town would put out drinks and food to reward the army.
Although the military discipline here in Hunchun is strict and there will be no plundering, the nostrils of these armies are pointed in the sky, and they are crazy.
Even these tigers outside the Pass, after arriving in Tangshan, turned out to be Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden. They were all frightened!
Huff, huff... The huge steam locomotive slowly stopped on the platform, and more than a dozen empty coal-carrying carriages behind it made a clanging sound.
Hundreds of tons of coal were loaded on, and the huge front nose of the car was sprayed with white smoke and pulled away. These big-headed soldiers were stunned!
"What the fuck, is this a train? Be good... is this old guy taking a breather and blowing out the white smoke so far away?"
"Oh, if you run so fast, how many sticks will you have to burn to chop wood..."
"It's just... you can run so fast while lying down. If you stand up and run, wouldn't it be faster?"
Outside the pass, the tigers were resting on the spot. They were all sitting on the coal mountain, looking down at the Western scenery in front of them!
"Yongzi camp...Fengzi camp...Yizi camp...all of them got on the train...two hundred people were crammed into one carriage, and no one received an individual soldier ration before boarding the train..."
The Chinese section leader in dark blue railway uniforms picked up a loudspeaker and shouted to the soldiers resting on the coal mountain, "Hurry up, hurry up... don't delay the next train!"
"There is one train every hour, and there are 2,000 people on each trip. What you are delaying are military intelligence fighters... Hurry up! Hurry, hurry up!"
These soldiers were all confused, thinking who is this? Is this a senior official of the Chinese ethnic group? This magnanimity is incredible. When the loudspeaker blasts, it makes my ears hurt!
These ignorant country bumpkins always think about new things with the thinking of the past. In their eyes, those who have uniforms to wear, who are not frightened when they see the army, and who can shout loudly, must be high-ranking officials!
"Sir! Where can I get food? I haven't seen any smoke from cooking anywhere?" a guard asked cautiously.
The railway section leader was already so busy that he was sweating profusely and had white smoke coming out, but he still had to patiently explain to them.
"Don't call me Guanye, I'm just a railway section chief..."
"Oh...the section chief is also a chief, so I have to call you sir, you are so lucky..." The general manager who couldn't touch the door handle became more and more polite.
The Duan let out a long sigh, "There is no hot food. Have you seen the workers on the platform? There are rations in the box, each person has a tin can and a large piece of compressed biscuits..."
"There is a well nearby. Fill it with water quickly... Remember that eating compressed dry food will make your mouth dry. The meat in the tin can is very salty. Drinking more water is good..."
"Thank you! Thank you...you guys, we are going to have a non-vegetarian meal today. The Chinese gave us canned meat and biscuits to eat. We took one each and got on the bus!"
The soldiers have long heard about the good reputation of this Chinese canned food, but outside the customs, only high-ranking officials can have the good fortune to eat it, and ordinary soldiers are not so lucky at all.
As soon as they heard that canned food and compressed biscuits were served for dinner, this group of people's greed was aroused.
The soldiers who got on the train went to collect the rations in a noisy manner, and soon it was overcrowded. Many soldiers received the cans and split them open with axes on the platform, grabbing them with their hands and stuffing them into their mouths.
"It smells good! My old nose smells good... How did you make it? How did you cook it? The aspic is even more fragrant..."
But this aroma caused trouble, and soon there was a big mess on the platform!
