The early morning sunshine covered the entire Shanglu, and the summer cicadas began to chirp one after another.
At the headquarters campus, the roars of soldiers covered the cicadas' voices. The soldiers were sweating under the scorching sun. On the walls of the barracks, the slogan "sweat more during training and bleed less during war" was written.
At the headquarters, several division commanders were exchanging their opinions on commanding troops and deducing tactics on the war sandbox. Su Yu was also listening.
"Take a look."
Guo Dahai, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, pointed at the Shanglu simulated sand table with his baton and said, "The Yingguo Garrison Headquarters has an army division. According to the Yingguo establishment, it is 15,000 people. We want to win this with the strength in our hands." Garrison headquarters, it’s not that difficult.”
"oh."
Liao Yuanliang exclaimed very curiously, "Tell me about it?"
In Liao Yuanliang's heart, he had actually already planned how to take down the Great Eagle Empire's garrison headquarters, but according to his deduction, the loss was not small.
Now that he heard Guo Dahai say that it was not difficult to destroy this group of foreign troops, he was very curious.
"Three to five years ago, I didn't dare to say this," Guo Dahai put down his baton and said, "Three to five years ago, the Eagle Nation's troops were capable of fighting, especially the navy, which was known as the world's best navy. After the war, they started to go downhill."
"The troops at the Eagle Garrison Command have not fought in a war for several years, and they even have very few opportunities to shoot. I have investigated and found that they only train once a month, or even every few months. Living under the shadow of that huge empire.”
"My strategy is to concentrate all the artillery of our army and kill the three warships on the sea of Yingguo to disturb the enemy's military morale," Guo Dahai looked at the crowd and said, "Why the Yingguo Army dares to be so arrogant? There are three warships on the sea providing fire support. As long as these three naval vessels are killed, the Eagle Country garrison will be able to catch a turtle in a jar."
"As long as we attack the navy of the Eagle Kingdom, their army will definitely be deployed to support them. Shanglu is so big," Guo Dahai pointed to several roads on the sand table and said, "If we ambush him halfway, we can defeat him. Caught off guard.”
Listening to Guo Dahai telling his strategy, everyone nodded in agreement.
"I had forgotten about the navy of the Eagle Kingdom," Liao Yuanliang agreed. "Although these three warships can cause us some damage, they will not have a big effect. I did not expect to forget about the navy of the Eagle Kingdom." The Navy was used as bait.”
"Deputy Commander Liao, don't underestimate this warship."
Guo Dahai lit a cigarette and said, "In the Battle of Heijiang that year, the three warships of the Eagle Kingdom killed a Russian regiment next to them. Its muzzle was more than 200 mm, and one shot created a deep pit several meters wide. , the total number of main guns and secondary guns on this warship is no less than 50, which is equivalent to an artillery regiment."
Su Yu was also very pleased to hear Guo Dahai's analysis. What he now lacks are military cadres who have participated in actual combat.
Only such military cadres can stabilize their positions and achieve victory in war.
"Ahem!"
Su Yu coughed and said, "It is right to regard Eagle Country as an imaginary enemy. Guo Dahai's point is also reasonable, but I want to remind you not to forget the Citigroup next to it. This country and Eagle Country wear the same pants. "
"You continue to discuss, I will go out to see the soldiers' training."
After saying that, Su Yu took Zhang Hu to the school ground. It was now morning. Some of the soldiers had just returned from running five kilometers, some were having breakfast, and some were enjoying the cool air under the eaves.
"How was the meal?"
Su Yu came under the big tree, where a squad of soldiers were having breakfast.
Because soldiers were recruited too quickly, the number of canteens was seriously insufficient, so some soldiers directly brought food to eat outside, which did not take up space or delay subsequent training time.
"In my entire life, I can only eat white flour steamed buns and rice during the Chinese New Year."
A dark-looking soldier grinned with white teeth and said, "My family is from a rural area and we have to starve every day. All the fish in the river and edible wild vegetables and tree barks have been eaten.
But now that I am a soldier, I can eat white flour, steamed buns and rice every day, and I still have five silver dollars a month. After the recruit training, it will increase to six dollars. My father, mother, and sister don't need it now. Starved. "
"Hei Wa, you are the only one who talks a lot."
The squad leader politely shouted to Su Yu, "Commander, we are all from the same village. We know that Heiwa can support our family as a soldier, so we are all here because I have been in school for several years and know a few of them." Big character, so he was promoted than Heiwa who came first and became the squad leader."
"OK."
Su Yu sat on the ground and chatted with a few soldiers, doing household chores and asking the soldiers about their needs.
Since the beginning of recruit training, Su Yu has spent most of his time with the soldiers. Sometimes they eat together, study together, tell jokes to the soldiers, ask about the training situation, and have heart-to-heart conversations.
So they were used to Su Yu sitting on the ground and communicating with them.
They also like and respect such officers very much, because they are the great benefactors who give them food, money, and support their whole family.
Su Yu often told these soldiers about the concept of strengthening the country and the people. If we don't stand up and resist, your sons will still be bullied by their foreigners and oppressed by the landlords, old money and bureaucrats.
Although Su Yu didn't know if they understood it, he had to spread this idea, even if it could only affect one person.
"Why!"
While Su Yu was chatting with the soldiers, a sigh appeared next to him.
"Old Wu, why are you sighing? Isn't it because your father is dead? There is nothing to sigh about. Your father should have died long ago. If it weren't for him, your family would be living in such misery!"
"what happened?"
Su Yu was confused when he heard this. Why can't he sigh after his father died?
"Commander, it's like this, Lao Wu's father is a big smoker," the squad leader shook his head and said, "He once owned more than a hundred acres of fertile land, but it was all lost in less than a year, and his sister was sold by his father. In the brothel, thanks to Old Wu, he rescued his sister."
"yes!"
"How many people have been harmed by this damn smoke?"
Everyone agreed that this smoke has torn apart many families and destroyed many people in this smoke.
The backbones of the Daxia people were shattered by the smoke.
After hearing this, Su Yu felt that his anti-smoking plan had to be implemented faster, but the interests involved were too great for him to be cautious.
