Chapter 1019 He Also Wants to Be a Hero!

The fog was thick and the wind was biting.

"Clang-clang-clang"

Five rail carriages with less than a mile between the head and the tail slowly drove into the Andijan station. The sweaty horses were panting heavily, and they were all connected into a white fog.

Although the real railway has been under construction for many years, it will take n years to extend it from the inland to Andijan.

Before the train stopped completely, the foreman on the platform shouted at the coolies who were curled up by the stove, and while shouting, he whipped them with the whip in his hand.

"Get up, you idiots, get up quickly! Unload!" A middle-aged fat man over 1.8 meters tall roared, and his red rosacea was so dazzling.

This man's facial features clearly have Russian blood, but it was a cold day and he only wore a small hat on his head. He was a believer of the Muslim religion.

Andijan is Chinese territory, but from here to the west is the territory of the Kazakhs.

Chen Han occupied half of the Fergana Basin, and a large number of Han people poured in here, and at the same time some "foreigners" also took the opportunity to defect. The middle-aged fat man in front of him is one of them. He was not middle-aged at the beginning, let alone a fat man. Isn't this a good mix? Although he has not obtained Chinese nationality, he has obtained the yellow book and has gathered a group of laborers. The money he earns every month is much better than working. Such a comfortable life will naturally make him fatter and fatter.

There was a commotion at the platform. The coolies all stood up and waited on the platform with their sleeves rolled up. None of these people are Chinese, and of course there are no pure Slavs. Most of them are natives of the former Kokand Khanate, and the other half are mixed-race like the fat man.

The middle-aged fat man who frightened people with a whip also started as a laborer and worked his way up to where he is today.

The laborers were all ready. Once the train stopped, they immediately led the horses into the stables, where there was water and fodder, and the horses were protected from wind and snow. The staff in the stables would also cover the horses with felt blankets and even wrap cotton covers on their legs.

At the same time, the rest of the people opened the sealed carriages and unloaded various goods from them.

In Central Asia, when the real railway was far from being completed, the transportation of materials still relied on railways. The first thing Chen Han did after seizing half of the Fergana Basin was to explore the route, and he spent a lot of energy to build this branch of the line directly connected to Xinjiang. Now is the time to play their role.

But this railway was only built to Andijan. In order to transport countless personnel and materials to the front line of the battlefield, countless vehicles and horses were needed, and they would work hard to transport them like ants moving houses.

Batches of horses were led off the track, and ten sealed carriages collapsed on the track like dead snakes.

The coolies hurried forward and opened the closed carriage door. Only then did they realize that the sliding door was not sealed with lead. Just as they were wondering, a strong "Chinese curse" came from the carriage:

"Fuck, I'm suffocated to death..."

"Damn, we finally got to the ground..."

One by one, soldiers of the National Defense Force dressed in dark green winter uniforms jumped out of the carriage. It turned out that these sealed carriages were not filled with military supplies, but with tall and strong soldiers of the National Defense Force. This tramcar was carrying people.

The ten carriages carried three teams of soldiers and a large number of military supplies.

The coolies who knew what to do were immediately silent. Without being reminded by others, everyone dodged to the side, holding up their sleeves, and quietly watched these soldiers quickly line up and form a team on the station platform, and then were led to the station outside by the stationmaster himself amid slogans.

China and Russia are really going to fight a big war! And there will be actions not only in the Ural River, but also in the Caspian Sea. Otherwise, why would the Chinese send troops to Andijan?

You should know that there are five trains of trams that are about to arrive, and there will be ten trains tonight. In the next month, there will be at least one hundred trains to arrive.

Not to mention that each train carries three hundred people, even if half of the vehicles carry soldiers, this is more than a brigade. And just like Chen Han's army surrounded the Guliev Fortress, the Russian army must have surrounded the West Sea opposite the Caspian Sea.

Many Kokand people have a bad impression of China in their hearts. The mastermind behind the destruction of the Kokand Khanate was the Chinese.

But what makes many Kokand natives contradictory is that they enjoy a higher and better life under the hands of the "enemy". Many Kokand natives under the middle-aged fat man looked at the Wehrmacht team that was gradually going away with a complex light in their eyes, with hatred and anger, but more of it was melancholy and confusion.

Although they are now laborers, the monthly wages they earn are much higher than before when they were herding and farming.

"Here, here, here, and here, these carriages are loaded with ammunition, carefully unload them and put them on the platform. We still need to count them. If there is any mistake, military law will be imposed!" A second lieutenant officer who stayed behind pointed to several carriages and said to the deputy stationmaster on the platform.

"Understood! Don't worry." The deputy stationmaster was also a retired soldier. Without saying a word of "no", he turned around and yelled at the middle-aged fat man, and then the fat man yelled at his laborers.

The coolies soon learned from the foreman that the army that was packed in a jar was the team of the First Independent Detachment of the Northwest Military Region. These five columns were just the vanguard, and the main force was still following behind.

Why did the foreman know this news? That's because they were just notified that they would work overtime tonight and their wages would be doubled.

The laborers could understand the arrival of the National Defense Army, but they were not completely ignorant. What on earth was this First Independent Detachment? Why had they never heard of it before?

"So, the National Defense Army can deploy three thousand-man regiments today?"

"These soldiers seem to be the elite of the Chinese. Their spirit is really good. They are well-organized and well-equipped, and they look much stronger than the army on the opposite side." The army on the opposite side refers to the army of the Great Yuz Khanate.

"That's all made with money. Do you see the rifles in their hands? They are all the latest Type 36 rifles. Didn't you see that the muzzles are all spherical sights? This is the most advanced rifle in the world. And the cotton coats they wear, the boots on their feet, and the cotton hats on their heads." All these things cost money!

"The ammunition box is quite heavy. I feel that there are not many in it. I'm afraid they are all large rockets."

Don't think that these laborers have passed it through their hands. Some things really can't be hidden from them. However, these workers at the station can't just come in and eat casually.

Andijan is the logistics warehouse for all the operations of the National Defense Army in the Caspian Sea. It is a military stronghold. The National Security Bureau and the Police Department have already made key deployments here. And the railway station is the top priority of all deployments.

Wang Zhi drank the broth in the bowl in one breath, put the bowl on the table, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve without caring whether it was clean or not. He breathed a long sigh of relief.

This camp is much more comfortable than riding a carriage.

When he was assigned, he rode a horse from Nanjing to Dihua just to avoid riding the tram.

Wang Zhi, who was born in a privileged family and had a wealthy family, had worked on a tram when he was very young. At that time, he and his cousin were sent to the Boys' Camp by his uncle for training. The first time he rode a long-distance tram, he was so shaken that his liver was about to vomit. Since then, Wang Zhi hated the horse-drawn carriage.

Compared to this thing, even a noisy train is much more stable than this thing.

A cigarette after dinner, almost like a god. Wang Zhi, who was sitting with his legs crossed, sprayed a puff of smoke with a comfortable look on his face. Although Wang Zhi has only graduated from the military academy for a year, and has been in the army for less than two years including internship, he has developed a lot of bad habits of old soldiers.

For example, wiping his mouth with his sleeves, if Wang Zhi dared to do this at home, his parents would beat him to death.

Wang Zhi's father, Wang Zhizheng, and his mother, Pan Qian, the former is a master in surgical medicine, and the latter is a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Health. The two are not people who like to put on airs, but they absolutely hate dirt and unsanitary conditions.

But in the army, you can't care too much about cleanliness. Wang Zhi is not an office clerk, nor a staff officer for drawing work, he is a team officer leading troops on the front line.

To lead a team of soldiers well and ensure the training of a team, it is a piece of cake to crawl in the yellow sand, black soil and rotten mud.

The regiment commander of Wang Zhi's regiment knew Wang Zhi's identity, because this regiment commander was an old subordinate of Wang Zhi's uncle Pan Chang. But this did not allow Wang Zhi to get a little preferential treatment on weekdays, because Pan Chang was not such a person, so he also strictly selected a strict old subordinate.

It's just that this is on weekdays, not on the battlefield. When he goes to the battlefield, Wang Zhi will definitely be taken care of by the regiment commander.

For example, this time when riding on the tram, Wang Zhi was in the second one, not the first one, nor the last one.

Wang Zhi is not a "pedantic" person, he can accept such care. But when the war really comes, he doesn't want to be transferred by the regiment commander to guard the field hospital or something.

"Old Wang, give me one." A palm covered with calluses stretched out in front of Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi didn't look up. He knew from the voice that this was the second in command of their team. A veteran who has been in the army for 20 years, named Chen Lianchui, from Enshi, Hubei.

Wang Zhi directly handed over the cigarette box in his hand. This copper cigarette box was obtained from his uncle. It was a real special supply cigarette. Of course, it was now filled with snow lotus cigarettes supplied by the army in Northern Xinjiang.

"Are you nervous?" Chen Lianchui exhaled a puff of white smoke, and he said to Wang Zhi in a low voice in the smoke.

"What's there to be nervous about?" Wang Zhi said indifferently. He was really not afraid of going to the battlefield. As early as when he saw the scars on his uncle's body when he was a child, he had the idea of ​​joining the army in his heart.

His uncle was a hero in his heart.

He also wanted to be a hero!
