673 Suffering
Hedong, Yiping Village. There is flat land as far as the eye can see, golden wheat is everywhere, and wheat is harvested using various machinery between the fields.
This is also the forward position of the Republican Army's Ma Heng Command, which is secretly set up here, and they claim to be the service department of an agricultural company. They also mobilized a variety of agricultural vehicles, and in addition to this, several secret telegraph lines were laid. A lot of places are carefully camouflaged. For example, their defensive towers are several granaries. It looks like the IRA is also taking great pains.
"Well, I think this can be supported, but I don't know how much such support is given to us by the intelligence side, otherwise, we would not have achieved such a result ourselves." Ma Heng said to the operational staff officer.
"Sir, I think it's a good plan. According to our understanding of the Hedong garrison, there are relatively many divisions, many troops come from different places, plus some troops are constantly fleeing in the middle, there are a large number of deserters, and the pro-soldiers are constantly patrolling in the middle, in this case, they have a lot of things to do in the continuous patrol, which gives us an opportunity to enter one of them. The operational staff officer said.
"Communication and liaison must also be done well, the special forces are too deep, they have no assistance, and even, if they are not transferred to the cavalry unit in time, their danger is quite great." Ma Heng said worriedly, I have to say, this plan is very bold, bold to a great extent, in order to do the relevant work as soon as possible The only way is to strengthen contacts and advance quickly, only in this way can they reduce their pressure.
"Rest assured, this chief, we have made a series of concrete measures to make this situation even more favorable." The operational staff officer said.
"Well, try to improve some details of support, they are in the enemy's rear, and they have encountered all kinds of problems more than we imagined. Do you understand? Ma Heng said.
"Yes, sir." The operational staff officer said.
"In addition, all localities should recruit a large number of retired military personnel in a timely manner, as well as relevant military personnel, and we must supplement them as police forces." Ma Heng said that this is a new military combat dynamic, and it is also a brand-new and new combat mode that they have developed.
"This, sir, judging from the recruitment situation in various places, the attraction is not very large, I think, we should expand the target of recruitment, and at the same time, according to the feedback of the local government, they need more high-quality personnel, if we rush to immigrate, it will bring a shortage of labor, which is very unfavorable for us." The operational staff officer said.
"What do you mean?" Ma Heng asked.
"Sir, the only people who can immigrate to Hexi Prefecture in large numbers at present are those proletarians who come from other places and have no land or assets, and only they can meet our series of needs." The operational staff officer said.
"Well, well, we need to see how the local government does it." Ma Heng said.
On the Highway 3 construction site, the summer was scorching, the scorching sun seemed to evaporate everyone's water, and the weather was stuffy and hot, which was unbearable for them.
"Drink some water, all go drink some water." The old man in charge of the rice shouted loudly. They came here with buckets of well water, and when all the people heard the water, they all rushed up. They were so thirsty.
"Ahh It's so comfortable. I really want to soak in the river and take a cold shower. Shanwa said so. He was shirtless, and his lower body was just wearing shorts, as was the case with many people on the construction site, and the skin on their backs was tanned and peeling. But they didn't care at all, they felt that it was much better than growing food in the state.
"Dog, at this time, the wheat in our house is fully ripe. Cut the wheat and dry it. Okay, very. Shanwa said that drinking water is when they rest, and it is also when they take time to talk about some things about their respective hometowns.
They all come from all parts of the state, and many people don't know that they are from nearby villages, because many people have never even been to the county seat, and they use their local accents to talk about the benefits of their hometown, for example, when they see the golden wheat on the side of the road, they say the benefits of their wheat, and make all kinds of food, noodles and soup. Taste of eating. Unfortunately, many people can't go back. Fortunately, there is still hope for them, for example, they can make some money, and then they can buy a few acres of land, even if it is very good. There are also people who plan to go to the city because it will feel very good in the city, for the simple reason that they can make more money.
"Hey, mountain baby, haven't you heard?" The dog baby has known a lot of words recently, and it has been said above. As long as he passed the 1,500-word test, he could go to the rear to work as a scribe. It's a relatively easy job, which is much better than being exposed to the sun here. The dog baby is also the first such capable person in their engineering team. This has inspired more people to learn knowledge, because they know that this is the best way to change their destiny.
"What?" Shan Wazi asked puzzled, he didn't know what was going on.
"I've seen the official document. It is said that as long as you go to Hexi Prefecture, the immigrants will be given 50 acres of land, and if you choose to be a militia of the republican army, add 50 acres, of course. If you perform meritorious service well, you will give more. It can be converted into bonds, or money can be deposited into a bank account. The dog baby knows a lot, so she said naturally.
"Can you be a soldier?" Shan Wazi asked.
"Being a soldier? You can't do it yet. I looked at the conditions. This is absolutely not allowed, you can only be a militia in order to be a soldier. The dog baby said.
"Well, I'll go, I still have a hundred acres of land, and I won't lose money anyway." Shan Wazi said.
"But it's very dangerous to go there." The dog asked worriedly.
"Danger, it's coming. Otherwise, sooner or later, people will be suffocated here. Shan Wazi said. Shan Wazi admires the military very much, he knows that the republican army's military treatment is very high, and the respect given is also very much, Shan Wazi wants to be such a person, but to become a soldier, first of all, you must be a militiaman, and at the same time, you must also obtain the relevant household registration changes.
Normally, it is either to buy, accumulate a certain amount of money and pay a certain fee to become such a household registration, or to obtain a certain amount of merit, or to take the military route. Yamawazi decided to take the military route and become a republican citizen. Because only in this way can he change his fate.
"You're going?" The dog asked.
"Why not?" Shan Wazi asked. This is an important opportunity to give them a positive turn, and many people have chosen it silently. Not only for the land, but also for a way out, after all, working on the construction site like this is not a long-term road, the people under the control of the Republican Army live very well, which makes them very envious, they also have to do this, there is a chance to change their own destiny, because only with such an opportunity can their situation become better, otherwise, they will not be able to do such a situation. That's some of their current situation, and if they can't do that, they can't change it.
As long as a certain way out, many people will have the right choice, after all, not everyone does not want to have no way out, this is an inevitable choice for them. In such a situation, they still have a lot to deal with.
In Hedong, Zhang Liao and the others, who arrived here quickly, couldn't wait to start some tentative actions. They have to scout first, and then they can choose to go deep according to their specific judgment. After all, there is no one who can choose to enter the other party's camp all at once.
"Sir, this dress stinks to death. Can we not change it? One of the team members said. The intelligence services took some time and collected some military uniforms for them. These uniforms have lice on them, and they are very dirty, compared to the Republican army uniforms, they are simply a bunch of tatters, and not only that, such military uniforms will have many, many unfavorable conditions. For example, in many cases, their state has been in a huge disadvantage.
"No, we're wearing makeup, you don't change your clothes, how do you think you're like them. The biggest difference between us and the Republican Army is that our uniforms are too clean. Zhang Liao said. The uniforms of the Republican Army must be kept clean and tidy, and the uniforms of officers must be ironed and smooth. If you wear leather boots in winter, they also require shoe polish, and in summer, you usually wear boots made of linen blended materials.
In contrast, the imperial army was extremely sloppy. Their military boots and uniforms are extremely dirty, and they have a strong smell on their bodies, and they will not wash them.
The long period of change suddenly made it difficult for the Republican soldiers to adapt to such a situation.
"But, sir, it smells. Damn, it's so cool. "Many of the team members were extremely dissatisfied with the change because their uniforms were too sloppy. They themselves can't stand it anymore. But there is no way, in such a situation, they can only endure such a situation.
"Don't say anything. In addition, our firearms should be drastically reduced, and most of them should be equipped with bows and arrows. Horses are also used sparingly, or not at all. All use cold weapons. Zhang Liao said. They need to pay attention to the details. Many team members looked at each other helplessly, suffering, really suffering. This made it difficult for them to adapt to the situation of the imperial army.
