Chapter 932: Preparation (3)
Takagi's luck was bad, he caught up with an extremely perverted squad leader. As soon as he was driven into the barracks, he ran around the playground dozens of laps, was so tired that he ran to death, was punished with a supper, and when he went to bed at night, he was so hungry that he was so hungry that he was close to the heart.
This was followed by a three-month hellish journey of recruits, that is, these Japanese laborers, who would have collapsed long ago if they were replaced by others. After three months of hard training, Takagi finally became a qualified private soldier of the armed police.
The armed police forces in the Far East are fundamentally different from the samurai armies. The former is mainly responsible for the garrison, internal security and security patrols of the occupied areas, and will only assist the Death Army troops in combat when necessary.
Therefore, the company equips them with cold weapons, supplemented by some front-loading muskets, including spearmen, sword and shield men, and musketeers. The basic configuration is 60% spearmen, 20% sword and shield men, and 20% musketeers.
The Armed Police Force is not equipped with armour, as it faces a low threat due to its main auxiliary garrison duties in the rear. The rest of the loads were no different from the regular troops.
Of course, military salaries, subsidies, and benefits are also much worse than those of the army of the daring army. Even so, people like Takagi who came from labor are already very satisfied.
No matter how tiring the training is every day, it is much easier than working as a laborer in the Northeast. In the course of more than a year, several of Takagi's squadron laborers have died from accidents and diseases, and it is said that the annual mortality rate at railway construction sites and mines is about 10%.
Moreover, after becoming a soldier, the conditions such as food and housing are absolutely heaven and earth compared with laborers, and there is still military pay to be paid. After serving as a soldier for five years, you can also find a woman to marry at the station, which is also the greatest wish of all the officers and soldiers of the Death Army and the Japanese Armed Police Force.
Takagi is now a spearman. The daily training is to walk and walk with spears in a horizontal line over and over again. There are also training subjects such as patrolling, garrisoning, and strengthening law and order. In the evening, there is also a special person to teach them some simple work experience in policing, as well as how to deal with various complex tasks.
Every month, they also have to go to the island's tropical rainforest for wilderness survival training to adapt to the complex environment of Indochina. During this period, many officers and men were afflicted with malaria and other diseases, many diseases were transmitted by mosquito bites, and many people were bitten by poisonous snakes.
Because the camp has complete medical staff, equipment, and medicines. There were no deaths, but there were many non-combat attritions. This is also a wake-up call for the Military Commission to step up adaptation training in the rainforest.
The officers and men of the Death Guards and the Armed Police Force conducted two consecutive one-month field survival trainings, throwing the troops on an isolated island and picking them up for a month, and the results of the training were very good, but there were also some casualties. But it's all worth it. At least it's better than a large area of non-combat attrition after the start of the war.
As the training of the Samurai Army and the Armed Police Force unfolded, the Far Eastern Military Commission was also in full swing of preparations. A large number of fleets laden with supplies came from all over the world.
After several months of hard work, several ports on the northern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, several ports on the western coast of Luzon, Cam Ranh Bay, the coastal areas of Bangladesh, the island of Andaman Nikiba in the Indian Ocean, the concession on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, and the military port of Sattahip in Siam Rayong Province have piled up all kinds of strategic materials.
The Intelligence Department of the Central Military Commission has also strengthened its intelligence work on the Indochina Peninsula and dispatched a large number of intelligence agents to infiltrate various countries on the Indochina Peninsula and send back a large amount of valuable information every day.
Zhou Billy also sent people to Cham to convey the intentions of the Far Eastern Company. That is, the Far East wants to come to occupy the city, and you can do it. scolded Kong Youde and others so angrily. Secretly scolded the Far East for not keeping its promises.
But scolding and scolding, they really don't dare to disobey the will of the Far East. Kong Youde had no choice but to come to Luzon with Geng Jingzhong, wanting to meet the two commanders of the Far East in person. They were accompanied by Sun Yuanhua and several other civil officials of the former Ming Dynasty.
Gao Jianguo and Li Ming did not meet them in Manila, but had them rushed to the camp of a daredevil's army on the west coast of Luzon. Gao Jianguo and Li Ming both attached great importance to the Indochina Peninsula Campaign, and did not leave in the past few months. He remained in Luzon and urged the troops to make active preparations.
An improved sailing ship slowly sailed into Dassol Bay in western Luzon, a military port of the Far Eastern Admiralty. It is also the largest battalion of the Dare Army troops participating in the Indochina Peninsula Campaign, with a total of five Death Army divisions stationed here.
Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong and others stood on the deck, looking at the dense sailboats and offshore steam deck barges parked in the bay, and their hearts suddenly cooled. Wait for the ship to dock. Seeing the dense military camps on the shore, I was even more frightened to the point that my legs were numb.
"Lao Kong, look at those soldiers, they are all special Japanese people."
Kong Youde listened to Geng Jingzhong's words, sighed with a wry smile on his face, and said: "The Far East is so well trained, how can there be tens of thousands. But there are so many Japanese people raised below, aren't they afraid that these Japanese people will not be familiar with them, and then they will be fucking opposite. ”
Sun Yuanhua next to him was also dumbfounded, although he was a civil servant, he could be regarded as a soldier. It was he who first hired the Portuguese as firearms instructors in Shandong, and built a firearms force with Liao soldiers as the main force, which was the most powerful firearms unit in the East in this era.
But he still couldn't change the mistakes of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't understand the thoughts of the soldiers under him, and as a result, the Liao soldiers under him were all reversed, so that he also left the Ming Dynasty, and he may never go back in this life.
"I don't know what the Far Eastern military commander thinks, why don't you find some children of my Han family. They have trained the Japanese people into such strong soldiers, if they don't know that they are not of our race, their hearts will be different? If these Japanese people become powerful in the future, how can the Far East control it! Thousands of Japanese soldiers have plagued the southeast of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and now tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, how can it be good in the future. ”
Zhu Wannian, the former governor of Laizhou next to him, also shook his head and said: "Although the Far East is also a Han Chinese, after all, it is from overseas, and I may not know the cruelty of these Japanese people. ”
Several people, led by a staff officer of the Far Eastern Admiralty, came to the camp. At this time, training was being carried out in the barracks, and countless officers and men who dared to die were practicing in full swing, sweating one by one, and practicing hard under the loud shouting and scolding of the non-commissioned officers of various units.
