Of the 23,000 soldiers of the 4th Division of the Northeast Frontier Army, 3,000 were new recruits, and the 4th Division was ordered to attack and make repeated exploits during the attack on Mukden, but there were also several hundred dead and wounded, and in addition to the soldiers who were retired, wounded, and retired in battle, more than 2,000 soldiers were selected and transferred to the 12th, 13th, and 14th new army divisions. The fact that these recruits were going to Europe just a month after joining the army made many people happy, as if they were not going to war but to travel, and wrote to their families with great interest that they were going to Europe.

The veterans of the Fourth Division were calm, and according to the usual practice, they first wrote the battle testament and handed it to the military officer. Recruit Long Ergou said in a new way: "Brother Huang, are you a thief in the temple?" (Liaoyang dialect)"

"Write a suicide note." The veteran Lao Huang said with a cigarette in his mouth, frowning, and suddenly asked: "How do you write the word 'take care' to take care of your father?" ”

"I can't do anything, I haven't taught you the paperwork, donkey head, the words are written like this." The veteran Diao Delong came over and wrote for him with a grin.

"Isn't that right?" Lao Huang asked.

"Eh, I'll go, don't accept it? You're still worthy to ask me if you will? You look, you see, is it exactly the same? Diao Delong said and took out his "confession letter" and took it out for comparison, Lao Huang smiled and said: "Fuck your uncle, I said that the two words look wrong, the feelings are only half, you are the donkey's head." ”

Diao Delong laughed and said, "This ...... No...... Hey, by the way, recruit Douzi, come here, do you know how to read? ”

Long Ergou said: "I don't know everything, I know a few." ”

Lao Huang let out an "oh" and said, "Do you know how to read?" How many do you know? ”

"I know all the words in chess. I don't know anything except chess. Long Ergou honestly explained, and everyone laughed.

Lao Huang said: "Okay, you still know a few words before you come to the army, I don't know a word, and I always forget one every night when I learn to read and write." ”

"Then you have a memory, like a donkey kicking, what can you remember. You'll remember how your machine gun fired. Old Xiao, who was fiddling with a submachine gun, laughed widely.

Long Ergou said: "Brother Huang, write a suicide note?" ”

"This is called a 'confession letter', not a suicide note. You don't know the conventions of our border guards, do you? Seeing Long Ergou nodding stupidly, Lao Huang continued to smoke and said, "Remember, our border guards will write a suicide note before they go on the expedition - no." It was a letter of confession, and it was handed over to the military officer. If you die in battle, your family can also receive a suicide note, and you can also receive a death allowance. ”

"What's the death grant?"

"The death allowance is the pension you give to your family when you die, the money for your life, and the money for your life for General Shangwu when we die, you know?" Lao Huang said.

"Oh, there's this thing." Long Ergou was surprised.

Lao Huang said: "Don't say it, other armies don't have this thing, and if they die, they will die." When I met a good one, I rolled a straw mat and buried it, and when I encountered a bad one, I dug a pit and buried it. After the death of our border guards, the family members have pensions, and they are also given a monument for a thick burial, and some people give money for burning paper every year. That's right, how can other troops have money to sell their lives. I used to work for Meng Enyuan in the Ji Army. Other brothers died when they died, how could there be a thick burial, the family members didn't know, and they didn't see the dead or the corpse. ”

After the merger of the two armies, except for the seventh division, the rest of the troops were scattered and divided into divisions 1 to 6. The Fourth Division is no exception. There are more than 1,000 soldiers of the Yuan Ji army among them, and Lao Huang is one of them. The combat effectiveness of the Ji army was not low, but the generals were incompetent and tired to death of the three armies.

Ryu Ergou asked, "Then are we going to die?" His words made all the veterans laugh, and one veteran said, "Ergou, are you afraid?" ”

"Who's afraid? Who's afraid? Long Ergou blushed and shouted, "I'm not afraid, I just ask, ask." ”

Lao Huang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ergou, do you know why you are the only bomb supplier in our class?" ”

"I'm a recruit." Ryu Ergou said.

Lao Huang shook his head and said: "That's because the original bomb supplier died, and you were his replacement, do you know why he died?" Long Ergou shook his head, and Lao Huang said: "Because he is too good to get sè, he doesn't listen to the veterans, and when he is fighting, he stretches his neck and looks around, so that a bullet hits his neck and dies." ”

"Huh?" Long Ergou frightened, "Can't you look at it yet?" ”

"Nonsense, what about the war, do you think you are watching the scenery?" The veteran Lao Fang sneered, "After going to the battlefield, what the squad leader asks you to do, what can you do, what you don't let you do, you definitely can't get sè, you know?" Unless you want to give your life to it. Also, be careful not to get shot in the head and neck when you fight, you will die if the bullet hits these two places. ”

"It's okay to open your heart?" Ryu Ergou asked.

"We've got bulletproof steel plates, it's fine." Lao Fang taught, "This thing is powerful, it can't be pierced with a shot, it's just too heavy, and it's good to carry it when charging." But your small physique is not good, eat more in the future and practice more. ”

"Yes."

"Uh-huh, that's! Later, it will be said that it is a mountain cannon. Lao Huang scolded, causing everyone to laugh again.

A few days later, the 4th Division arrived at Yingkou in full gear and began with a week of training in sea navigation. The Fourth Division did not carry much ammunition this time, because Wang Maoru's troops and the British Army used one caliber bullet, which could be replenished when they were in Egypt, so they only brought three base ammunition on this trip, that is, one soldier brought 360 rounds of ammunition, E1 rifles, bayonets, luggage rolls, raincoats, water bottles, five grenades, steel helmets, hoods, cigarettes, notebooks, pens, bandages, hemostatic powder, and carrying bags. At this time, because it was the beginning of March in 1918, the temperature in Northeast China was still below zero, and everyone wore thick military coats, dogskin hats on their heads, sheepskin gloves on their hands, and large-headed cotton leather shoes on their feet. In this way, the ship's space is not enough, so it is necessary to eliminate 4,000 people in this week, also to save space, to leave a foundation for the fourth division, in case the fourth division is unfortunately wiped out in Europe, it is better to reorganize.

The soldiers have to train for a week to adapt to HNA, but the handsome Wang Maoru doesn't have to adapt, he is used to HNA, but he is not idle.

As the deputy commander of the Chinese army participating in the war in Europe, Wang Maoru can also be regarded as the face of Beiyang, and he was invited by Feng Guozhang, president of the Beiyang government in Beijing, and Duan Qirui, premier, to go to Beijing for commendation, awarding and farewell.

Although the Beiyang government is now mired in scandal, the Beiyang Army has won successive victories on the battlefield in Hunan, and the warlords of all sizes in Beiyang are jubilant. The Beiyang government finally decided to send troops to Europe to participate in the war, which won the support of some people, and the newspapers also talked about it, and for a while the limelight overshadowed the scandal of Duan Qirui's government. The Beiyang Duan Qirui government scandal is also called the Anfu parliamentary scandal, because Duan Qirui resolutely decided to remove some members of the national parliament at this stage after being harassed by the parliament several times, and he found a group of people who obeyed him as parliamentarians.

Since Wang Yitang is from Anhui and Zeng Yujun is from Fujian, these two people have each attracted a large number of parliamentarians, with Anhui, Fujian, and Henan parliamentarians being the majority, so this group of parliamentarians is also called the Anfu family of parliamentarians. They gradually replaced the incumbent parliamentarians, and eventually the 400 seats of the National Assembly were occupied by the Anfu Department, and the other 20 seats were still occupied by the old transportation department, and all the members of the Kuomintang Party were purged from the National Assembly, and the National Assembly was called the Anfu National Assembly, which was the cause of the scandal.

This dismissal of parliamentarians has led to another major scandal since the Republic of China, of course, the scandal of the Republic of China is not only this one, to talk about the scandals that broke out in the north and south one after another, but Duan Qirui was a parliamentarian this time, and more than 300 parliamentarians were full of righteous indignation and attacked Duan Qirui in the newspapers.

At this time, it was Wang Maoru's participation in the European War, which also caused many parliamentarians to attack, they said that he was a poor soldier, a belligerent idiot, a martial artist, and misled the country and the people......

After Wang Maoru was invited, he thought about it for a while, decided to go to Beijing, and felt that it was safer to take a plane to Beijing, he had not forgotten Zhang Zuolin's Huanggutun incident, and what if it was dangerous when passing through Zhang Zuolin's territory in Liaonan Prefecture.

Moreover, now that the air force strength of the Northeast Frontier Army has received great support from Wang Maoru, the air force of the Northeast Frontier Force has reached the first-class level in Asia in terms of its own development and introduction of aircraft. Moreover, at a time when other Asian countries did not attach importance to aircraft, they attracted many talents, so that the strength of the Northeast Air Force was unprecedentedly enhanced. In addition, a 30-member paratrooper commando team headed by Bai Ziqing, Wang Maoru's personal guard, also began to conduct drills a year ago. Of course, because the paratroopers started from scratch, there was no country to learn from, and even the parachute shape of the paratroopers was designed by Wang Maoru, and the 30 paratrooper commandos were directly reduced to 18 during the training process, but fortunately Bai Ziqing survived. Arriving in Beijing this time, Wang Maoru wanted to show Duan Qirui to prevent Xu Shuzheng from thinking crookedly.

The transport plane crossed southern Liaoning to Zhili, and soon arrived at Nanyuan Airport in Beijing, where it landed. People from all walks of life in Beijing, who had been notified in advance, were welcoming crowds to watch the speech of Shangwu General Wang Maoru on his work in Beijing. Nanyuan Airport, which was originally extremely dilapidated, and the runway was grass except for snow, was also cleaned up early, and the ground was marked with a red, green and yellow three-color line to land. Since Wang Maoru took Nanyuan Aviation School, Duan Qirui beat his chest and even said that Wang Maoru was not a thing, and moved the last trace of aviation power in Beiyang, and Nanyuan Airport was also abandoned.

Wang Maoru visited this time, in order to prevent Zhang Zuolin's territory, he came to a black heart -- this guy couldn't do it -- he specially chose to fly to Beijing. However, in the whole of Beijing, only Nanyuan Airport has a flight runway suitable for landing, and Jiang Chaozong, the commander of the infantry yamen, specially shoveled snow overnight to clean up the wind for Wang Maoru. rs
