As time goes by, Chongming becomes more and more lively.

According to the plan formulated by the General Staff, the day of the North Attack was one month later. It can be said that the days are counting down as time begins.

Chongming Military Port is close to the sea estuary and has a relatively hidden location. Although it is not as good as a large port like Ningbo and Shanghai, it can only allow dozens of large warships to berth in terms of military ports. If we add the anchorage of the Yangtze River Estuary not far from the military port, the entire East China Sea fleet can be stationed here, but now there are very few warships except for transporting ships.

The main reason for this is to keep it confidential. A warehouse hidden in the forest is built about ten miles away from the military port. These warehouses occupy a huge area and specially opened roads connected to the port, making vehicles traveling very conveniently.

Most of the materials that attacked the north were stored here, and the assembly of these materials was also carried out in an orderly manner. Attacking Tianjin Wei in the north was an important battle that would change the overall situation of the world. No one in the Ming Dynasty dared to be careless. Whether Dong Dashan or Zhuang Yan, I don’t know how many times he ran to Chongming these days, the purpose was to ensure that there was no accident.

At present, the Chongming New Army has been fully equipped, and all 25,000 soldiers in the entire army are in place, and all units are rushing to train.

In addition to the Chongming New Army, there is also an army transferred from Zhejiang. It is currently stationed with the New Army and is undergoing training to cooperate with the New Army. Although no one knows the purpose of these trainings, everyone feels the solemn atmosphere in the army, especially for intermediate officers like Zhang Zhao. He vaguely feels that the court will have big moves, and this big move must be an action that shocks the world.

Zhang Zhao is still the leader of the Guoyi regiment, but there are three silver stars on the silver wire twisted epaulette on his shoulder, which means that his military rank has been upgraded to one level. If he can make another contribution in the subsequent battle, when his epaulette is replaced with gold wire twisted epaulette, he Zhang Zhao will step into the ranks of real generals.

In order to improve the overall combat effectiveness as soon as possible after the full rank, each regiment battalion not only divided some officers to form a new regiment, but also divided some veterans and absorbed some new recruits. This way of leading the new army with the old is also the difference between the new army and other troops. This method can make a unit take shape as soon as possible, but at the same time, the necessary training time is still needed, so Zhang Chao did not dare to neglect at all and kept pounced on the training ground.

"Captain, drink some water. It's too hot this day." It's summer now. Although Chongming leans against the sea, the weather is still hot. In addition, the south is humid and the water vapor is abundant. When the weather is hot, it's really uncomfortable to feel like a steamer.

After leading the team to complete the morning training, Zhang Zhao announced the order to disband. Seeing his subordinates lined up in neat rows from the playground one by one, Zhang Zhao's military uniform had long been wet at this time, but the regulations of the new army were extremely strict, and military appearance and discipline were the first priority. As long as he was in a public place in the army, even if he lost his head, he would not be allowed to open his chest and reveal his arms.

After taking the kettle handed by his subordinates, Zhang Zhao took a sip, then frowned slightly and said, "Have you arranged your drinking water for brothers? There is also a cooling soup."

"Don't worry, you have already made arrangements and added salt to the water as you told me."

Zhang Zhao was relieved. The weather was so hot that many soldiers had heatstroke during the training these two days. If it weren't for the preparations in the new army, something might happen if it wasn't for the new army.

"Captain, it's such a hot day, I think this training will be slowed down a little? The brothers seem to be unable to bear the training of such intense daily training."

"Slow?" Zhang Zhao raised his eyes and looked at the other party, and asked with a smile: "How do you think it's slow?"

"This...make sure about morning exercises and cancel midday exercises, can you?"

"Not really!" I thought Zhang Zhao would agree, but who expected Zhang Zhao to reject it in one go. The subordinate immediately persuaded with some embarrassment: "I said the leader, I didn't say that I wouldn't train. Isn't this morning fuck still there? It's just that the afternoon fuck is temporarily cancelled. On such a hot day, the brothers will be trained badly by then, what should I do?"

"Haha, if you practice it, it will be better than losing your head." Zhang Zhao suddenly turned aside and asked, "Do you think this is for the sake of your brothers? It's extremely stupid! You sweat more on weekdays and bleed less during wartime! Have you never learned the regulations in the new army? You are also the leader of the first battalion, how can you have such short-sighted thoughts? Besides, once you go to the battlefield, will God still follow your thoughts? Not to mention this big sun, even if the world is in the world, you have to go directly with the military order!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhao stared at the other party with sharp eyes. The man felt like a knife was stabbing on him and couldn't help but lower his head.

"Tang Xiaochuan!"

"arrive!"

"Ten laps around the playground, run... walk!"

Tang Xiaochuan quickly agreed, turned around and ran out in a standard position, and then saw him running around the playground.

More than half an hour later, Tang Xiaochuan, who had run ten laps, was as if he was fishing out of the water.

When he returned to Zhang Zhao's barracks in the camp, Tang Xiaochuan reported to the death. Seeing that Tang Xiaochuan was like this, Zhang Zhao nodded slightly and asked someone to take him to wash his clothes first. When he came back after he was rinsed, he looked much more energetic than before.

"I've left the rice for you, so let's eat here." Zhang Zhao pointed at the side and specially prepared the meal for Tang Xiaochuan. Because he was punished to run the circle and missed the lunch, Zhang Zhao prepared for him in advance.

After thanking him, Tang Xiaochuan quickly started eating. After running for the past ten laps, he consumed a lot of energy. Moreover, it was still so hot in summer. It was also a blessing that Tang Xiaochuan was strong and well-trained. If he were a recruit, he would probably not be able to get up now.

He ate the meal voraciously. After he finished eating, Zhang Zhao asked him directly if he understood. Tang Xiaochuan lowered his head in shame and replied that he understood.

"You are also an officer, and you are the leader of the first battalion. The emperor is very proud of the new army. You know in your heart that the future of the new army is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand and the most fierce spear! The strong army in the world is the first in the new army! As a member of the new army, you must not be lucky!"

"Yes! Leader!"

Patting Tang Xiaochuan's shoulder, Zhang Zhaoyu said earnestly: "I think you know in your heart that the court will reuse the new army soon. Once our troops are brought to the battlefield, what is waiting for our troops is a big war and a fierce battle! The current training is for the future. What's the point of suffering now? It's better than letting brothers lose their lives in vain on the battlefield!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded repeatedly and said yes, but he was still a little puzzled by Zhang Zhao's words and couldn't help asking, "It's all said that the new army is going to North Korea. This North Korean army is weak. Isn't it easy to fight a small North Korea with the power of the new army? Why does the army attach so much importance to it?"

"Eagle hunts rabbits with all its strength, let alone a country? There is never a chance of luck in war. If this idea still exists in your mind, I think you should leave the new army earlier." Zhang Zhao immediately scolded him again. Tang Xiaochuan was ashamed and let him leave after he scolded him.

In fact, there are many people who have Tang Xiaochuan’s views on this in the new army. Although the new army has not officially entered the battlefield, the soldiers in the new army are all strong soldiers selected from various units. Coupled with the strict training of the new army and the power of the firearms, everyone knows how strong the new army’s combat effectiveness is.

Therefore, the New Army did not care about the all-round attacks on North Korea. As Tang Xiaochuan said just now, everyone looked down on countries like North Korea. In the eyes of many people, North Korea is just a soft persimmon. The reason why it pulled the New Army out to attack North Korea is probably the purpose of letting the New Army go to North Korea to fight in practice first.

But Zhang Zhao didn't think so. Zhang Zhao was an old man from the Ming army. Although his position was not high, he was very old in the middle of the army. In addition, he was smart. With the changes in Chongming and some arrangements from the court, Zhang Zhao felt that the battle that was about to come was definitely not as simple as fighting North Korea. It is very likely that the so-called fighting North Korea was just a cover.

Not to mention the others, it was just that the mountains of materials and naval ships were frequently entering and leaving Chongming Wharf, and the entire New Army was reorganized and prepared for war, and at the same time, an elite army was sent to assist.

If we only attack North Korea, the court would never pull out the entire new army. For countries like North Korea, half of the new army would be enough. After all, the Ming Dynasty only wanted to punish North Korea and did not have a plan to annex North Korea in one go. Now, the 25,000 new army will be added with thousands of elite troops, and a total of more than 30,000 troops. If the Shanghai army is added, this force will be enough to sweep the world.

Compared to others, Zhang Zhao had seen the problem, but he could not say it. Because he knew that since the center and the Ministry of War were arranged in this way, it must be to keep the secrets and avoid exposing the real goal of the new army. But no matter what the goal was, Zhang Zhao could be sure that it must be a shocking move, which is also the main reason why he has always maintained high-intensity training in the army and did not dare to neglect at all.

More than half a month later, suddenly one day, Lin Jianzhang sent someone to find Zhang Zhao. When Zhang Zhao arrived at the headquarters of the new army, he actually saw Dong Dashan, Wang Dong and Zhuang Yan, and these three giants appeared in the new army at the same time. Zhang Zhao was shocked at first, and then he realized that this mystery might be revealed today.

"Zhang Zhao, the leader of the Guoyi regiment of the Humiliar Army, has met Lin Shuai, Dong Shuai, Wang Shuai and Zhuang Shuai!"

Like last time, Zhang Zhao saluted the four people with impeccable military appearance.

Dong Dashan looked at Zhang Zhao and nodded slightly, then turned his eyes to Zhuang Yan on the side. Zhuang Yan stood up and immediately took out an imperial edict to read it. Among the imperial edicts, the new army was officially named the Guards' Personal Army from today. The organization will not be changed. It will be commanded by Lin Jianzhang. It will be headed by Chongming in seven days. The Guoyi Regiment and Zhaowu Regiment where Zhang Zhao is located are the first vanguards. Their target is Tianjin Guards. Zhang Zhao will temporarily take the post of deputy division commander and directly command the two regiments to carry out landing battles...
