Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Skiing is said to have originated in Northern Europe as an ancient sport, and it is recorded that skiing was used in military affairs during the Norwegian Civil War in 1226. Yang Rui doesn't care who knows it, how long it will be, he only remembers that when he used to watch documentaries, before World War II, the Soviet Union attacked Finland with hundreds of thousands of horses and suffered heavy losses, and Finland had two things that he remembered deeply, one was the sniper Simon Heyer, known as the Grim Reaper, and the other was the Finnish ski unit wearing white sheets. Yes, after Yu Zixun arrived in Germany, Yang Rui asked him to go to Nordic Finland (for Russia) again, in addition to the previous assignment, let him find a few coaches who are proficient in skiing, and also find the kind of tall boots called Lapland-style - this is also what Yang Rui saw from the documentary, this kind of boots are said to be leather boots made of reindeer leg fur, with an inner liner made of handmade wool felt, which can withstand the cold of minus 34 degrees.
Lei Yizhen was urging the military cadets of the second and third phases to learn to ski, and when he saw Yang Rui and Leo coming, he put down what he was doing and ran over to report, before he could speak, Yang Rui saw the kind of black tall Lapland boots he was wearing, and asked, "How do you wear these boots?" ”
Lei Yizhen said with a smile: "Report sir, it's very good, it's much warmer than the old cotton boots before, and my classmates all said that you can wear one less jacket when you wear this kind of boots to fight." Do you want such boots from the whole army? ”
Seeing that Lei Yizhen said yes, Yang Rui also smiled, "This kind is too expensive, four pairs of shoes are almost worth a gun." We only bought some reindeer skins now, and combined them with wool felt from the Northeast, and made our own. The effect is a little worse, but it is much better than the old cotton boots. How about those foreigners? In order to learn the skills of Finns in the snow, Yang Rui has spent a lot of effort, and no one on his side understands Finnish. So I found a German who knew Finnish to help translate, and these Finns were startled when they saw so many soldiers in the camp, but fortunately, Liu Jianyun of the Tonghua Patrol Police Bureau explained on the side, saying that this was a government army - in fact, the revival army was more government army than the government army, and it was a government army. A few Finns who had circumnavigated the world rejoiced, believing that it was a matter of pride to be able to teach foreign government troops.
"Good report, sir." Lei Yizhen is a southerner, and he was quite excited when he saw snow for the first time, but in addition to the excitement, it was extremely difficult to cross the country in the snow and camp. Usually when the snow is small, it's fine, if the snow is deep, you can't walk five miles a day, "That's it, even if some soldiers say that there are Evenks on the Heilongjiang side who can also ski, I can't figure out why I want foreigners to teach?" ”
"Those guys, they know a lot. The Evenks were subservient to the Manchus, in case there was a loyal and patriotic party, then we would have leaked anything, although it took a lot of effort to invite this group of foreigners, but after they finished teaching this winter, even bragging could not reach the ears of the Manchus. Besides, let's learn from foreigners first. Wait until next winter to see how to find a few Evenks to teach, and things will not be delayed. Yang Rui casually explained the reason for looking for foreigners, and said, "We will march in the field in a few days, and while the snow leopard camp has not yet come out, let's notify the meeting in the evening." ”
In the era of no global warming, the winter in the Northeast lasts for more than five months, and the average beard hides in the city in winter, but the beard can be a cat winter, but the revival army can't cat winter. At the same time, in Liaodong, a place with dense water network and inconvenient transportation, it is only convenient for the large army to exercise when the rivers are frozen in winter, so in addition to asking the troops to carry out ski training and snow cross-country, Yang Rui also ordered the formation of a snow leopard battalion - a special snow field force to deal with the emergency war in winter. Of course, it is not enough for this unit to know how to ski, but also to learn snow survival training and snow combat training, and the Finns can teach them not only skiing, but also some snow cross-country survival skills, as for snow warfare, it is up to them to summarize and comprehend themselves.
Yang Rui walked to the place where the officers were learning to ski, several Finns were surrounded by some officers, and a Finn in the circle was holding a piece of skis in one hand and a piece of soap-like red in the other, talking with great interest, and the German next to him translated his words: "...... There are many types of wax, different snow quality, different temperatures to choose different wax, for example, now, the snow has not been falling for a long time, the snow is still very soft, and the temperature is between minus zero and ten degrees Celsius, we choose this red wax...... If the temperature is lower, say around 30 degrees Celsius, then I will choose blue wax...... Waxing is a very important thing for skiing, it increases our ride, neutralizes different snow qualities, makes us glide more smoothly, and also protects the snowboard so that it is not easy to lose its shape......"
The Finn was struggling to wax his skis with a charcoal iron as he spoke, and when Yang Rui was about to ask him what to do if it was difficult to find charcoal in the snow, he began to nag again, "...... The best way is to heat wax the skis, but many times we can't make a fire in the wild, so we can only apply the wax cold, and apply the wax directly on the skis, but it should be noted that there must be no moisture on the skis when applying, and at the same time, we can't apply wax in the case of anti-frost......"
Leo thought that skiing was something he could learn by himself, but when he heard the Finn's explanation, he couldn't help but say, "It seems that you are right, skiing is not such a simple thing, I have never heard of wax on snowboards before, and there is so much attention to it." ”
Yang Rui smiled, "They have lived in the Arctic Circle for generations, and there is always something we don't know. I only hope that this winter, they will be able to teach everything they know about snow and ice, and then our snow leopard army will become the king of the ice and snow world. Hehe. It seemed that he thought too well, Yang Rui couldn't help laughing.
"Yang, who educated you, it seems to me that you know too much, and the ideas are more novel than the other, of course, they are also very effective." Leo asked this question again and again, and every time Yang Rui came up with something new, he would ask it again.
"Books teach you a lot, and so does life." Yang Rui didn't dare to say that it was the information of the later world that gave him this knowledge, so he had to lie hard, and he didn't care whether others believed it or not, fortunately, this era was still very close to those encyclopedic greats, and Leo did not express complete doubts about this. Of course, although he often asks this and agrees with Yang Rui's statement, he doesn't have the slightest intention of reading books, except for adding classes to military cadets every night, he still respects books. Still likes to drink.
After inspecting the winter training of the troops, Yang Rui returned to his commander's room, saying that the room was actually a wooden house, with waist-thick pine walls and a hot kang floor, because there was no paint, the whole room smelled of pine. On the wall directly opposite the office is a map of East Side Road. In addition to the renaissance army's own marking, there is also the distribution of the Japanese and Russian armies in the entire region, of course, in order not to leak secrets, this place is usually covered with a curtain-like cotton cloth, and only every time Yang Rui wants to ask him, he pulls the curtain. Then think about it carefully - different from the previous **silk life, now the map replaces a notebook or a mobile phone, like in the past, if Yang Rui didn't have a notebook, he seemed to have lost his soul, and now if he doesn't look at the map every day, he won't be able to sleep.
He was constantly facing the map and thinking about various issues, such as the location of the farming village, the railway from Jiulian City to the key section of the sea, and the development of anti-encirclement and suppression tactics when the enemy attacked. Yang Rui has now completed his integration into this world. He was now like a small tree, constantly thinking about how to grow from the cracks that had opened because of the Russo-Japanese War - this was a difficult thing, personnel, morale, organization, munitions, logistics, situation, luck all these all restricted his development, like the Leo mentioned just now is completely beneficial to the revival meeting, but the morale of the troops is against it. Since the anti-Russian movement last year, the Revival Association has been waving the banner of anti-Russia to attract so many people to follow, if it suddenly helps Russia to resist Japan, it will be like the future generations suddenly surrendered to Japan and the United States in the War of Resistance against Japan, that is to be scolded by everyone, what should we do? Yang Rui said to himself. He stared at Mukden's position for a long time. I didn't think about this in my head, I was just thinking about how I should fight if I brought troops to the Russians.
After a long time, Yang Rui broke free from his imagination, and he said to his orderly: "Go and call Liu Boyuan and Fan An over." ”
Before Chambers didn't come back. Although the first batch of military cadets had political officers, because of the shortage of officers, they all went down to lead the troops no matter what they studied, until the third batch of military academy graduates graduated in November, and only then did they choose a student named Liu Boyuan among the two political graduates who came back in the first phase, and he was the deputy of Fan An, who was responsible for the political work of the army together. This student is from Yanghu, Jiangsu, but I don't know why Yang Rui always thinks of Uncle Liu when he sees his name; Yang Rui was waiting, and after a while, Liu Boyuan and Fan An's "report" sounded outside the door, both of them were wearing cotton coats of the Fuxing Army, and they came in with a trembling face after Yang Rui's "please meet".
"How's the recruits doing?" Yang Rui asked.
"Good report, sir! These wooden men are very grateful to the troops for taking them in, so that they can have a way to survive before winter, and they are also very hard-working in training, and they are highly obedient to orders, and rarely violate discipline. Liu Boyuan replied.
After the Russo-Japanese war, the wooden handle was cut off by the Japanese army, and his livelihood has been unemployed, because of the continuous disaster in Shandong, he could not go home and had to stay in the northeast. Except for a small number of foremen who don't have to worry about eating and drinking, the others heard that Tonghua has a way to recruit workers, and they all came to Tonghua New Town to find a job, but Tonghua also needs about 10,000 people, but this wooden handle is gathering more and more, in addition to Linjiang County, Ji'an also came, and for a time Tonghua New Town gathered 50,000 or 60,000 wooden handles, which made the county Lingqiu three times a day. There are so many soldiers, and his strength is not small, and there is nothing to worry about with organized wooden handles, so Yang Rui recruited from these unemployed wooden handles in the first month. At first, I heard that only a small number of people came to make beards, but the weather became colder and colder, and the gruel in Tonghua County became less and less hungry, and many Shandong men who did not want to accept their fate were all bandits, and in one autumn, the Fuxing Army recruited a total of more than 12,000 people.
Hearing that the recruit's situation was stable, Yang Rui was a little relieved, "Have you done the recruit's thorough investigation?" What do they think of the Japanese and Russians? ”
"There were too many people, and only half of it was done." This time it was Fan An who answered, and Liu Boyuan took over, and he did all the previous work, "But for now, there is no hatred for the Japanese." After all, it was the Japanese who made them lose their livelihood, and those foremen also said that the wood that was previously stationed on the side of Dagu Mountain was also transported away by the Japanese, and last year's wages were no longer available. For the Russians, the Linjiang side hated more, but Tonghua and Ji'an did nothing. I just heard that the big nose is bad. ”
It turned out that there was such a thing, Yang Rui felt that there was something wrong with the previous matter, and asked again: "How many recruits are there in Ji'an, and which camp are they in?" "Twelve thousand people were too many, so the training had to be divided into several camps.
"Ji'an has the most wooden handles and the most recruits. That's about seventy percent of the recruits, and they have them everywhere. Liu Boyuan replied.
"There are ...... everywhere" Yang Rui thought about it and asked again, "Is it over there in Weng Quanling?" How many people are there? ”
"It should ...... It won't be more than seven or eight thousand. Liu Boyuan didn't know why Yang Rui asked for specific numbers, so he could only give a rough idea.
Yang Rui didn't speak when he heard this, but just thought about it. Seeing this, Liu Boyuan and Fan An didn't dare to interrupt Yang Rui's thoughts, and the room was silent for a while, and after half an hour, Yang Rui came back to his senses and said, "You guys go back first." ”
It seems that if you really want to help Russia resist Japan, you still have to change your vest. Otherwise, the image of the Revival Society will be greatly diminished. Fortunately, in order not to attract attention before, Yang Rui already had two vests, the old demon of Montenegro was reported on the side of the Wunu Mountain City, and the number was reported on the side of Weng Quanling, which was a mountain carving, if you really want to do it, you can only use it in the name of a mountain carving, and the previous anti-Russian veterans can not be used, the soldiers are okay in the army, once they go out or are captured, it is very likely that they will be tricked out of the details.
Yang Rui made a rough plan, but after Leo came forward to put this plan in the afternoon high-level meeting, it caused a lot of fluctuations. For a while, there was a roar in the conference room - it is estimated that he has no good impression of a group of amiable hands since he was a child, Yang Rui likes to watch them quarrel, he thinks that only noisy can produce the truth, and he really disagrees that the desktop is not noisy, and he has to resist in his heart, the army is a place with a high hierarchy. It is the duty to obey orders, but with Yang Rui's permission, the conference room can not abide by this principle, who has the reason to listen to whom, it is not okay to fill up the number indiscriminately, of course, there must be an answer before leaving the conference room, and the final answer must be implemented no matter how resistant.
Now the opponents of helping Russia to resist Japan are the company commanders of Linjiang Muzi, as well as the newly voted cavalry company commander Zheng Lanting, the old gentleman furnace who used to mix righteousness and boxing-not long after Yang Rui went to Maoershan to worship the mountain, he and a few old men who had not fulfilled their wishes went to Mrs. Yang to pull out the incense (retreat) and defected.
"The big boss, let's take back your fate! The big nose has a blood feud with us, and the dozens of injuries on my body are all given by the big nose. Can't we do it ourselves, now there are thousands of guns, even if you want to fight Fengtian, as long as you say the same thing, I Zheng Lanting will go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and I will never blink an eye......"
"Now the soldiers of our department are extremely anti-Russian, once the news of the defection to Russia comes out, the troops will immediately be chaotic, even if it is forced, it is estimated that it will not be a big battle." This is Tao Dayong, the commander of the second battalion, and his troops are all from Linjiang.
"Sir, time is too short, veterans generally have no good impression of the Russians, the recruits have only been trained for more than two months, and although there are hundreds of non-commissioned officer graduates from the army's night school training class, most of these people are soldiers, their education level is too low, and they have no command experience, even if they go to the battlefield in January next year, it may not be useful. Moreover, the war against Japan was a frontal battle of a large corps, which was completely different from the training in peacetime, and as soon as they entered the battlefield, the recruits could easily collapse. This is Fang Yanchen of the former guerrillas.
In addition to the fact that the opponents can't accept it for a while, they also consider the realization of it, and the others don't say what the reason is, but in the opinions that support the Russian invasion, in addition to the training of troops and generals, and the strategic considerations in the future, there are other new views, such as Cheng Zhiyu of the artillery battalion mentioned whether it is possible to let Russia accept the people of the revival army to enter the Russian ** colonel, of course, this is mainly to train cavalry and navy, the navy does not need to say, although South Africa has cavalry, However, the cavalry instructor Schroeder has always admired the Russian cavalry, believing that the Russian Cossack cavalry is the first cavalry in the world.
As soon as the time for their respective opinions was over, the conference room immediately quieted down, only the sound of the lighting match and the sound of drinking water remained, Yang Rui had been listening just now, and after everyone said their thoughts, his thinking had also expanded a lot, and it was certain to vote for Russia, and even the surrender to Japan now seems to be very necessary, and the purpose of the revival army is to make them lose both and have no heart to exterminate themselves, and at that time, as long as Japan and Russia do not move, then it will not be possible to rely on the Manchus alone. It's just that the proportions of helping Russia to resist Japan must be grasped well, especially since Japan has been given a knife last time, blowing up almost one of Japan's ammunition reserves for a campaign, and now according to intelligence, the number of shells of the Japanese is very insufficient, and each artillery is generally only 100 shells, while the Russian army is more than 500 per gun.
There is also the problem of troops, the Japanese army in history was insufficient, because of its own reasons, compared with the historical number, Nogi's Third Army casualties will increase by at least 20,000 people, and Lushun's conquering time must be delayed, although during the initial cautious period, Yang Rui only gave Lushun more than a month of food, but what if because Kantrachenko did not die, Lushun has survived until the arrival of the Baltic Fleet? Yang Rui only felt that he was playing with fire, and he was afraid that if he hit Japan again, it would be over.
