Chapter 523 Came too early
“Come here quickly, there is chicken soup!”
As soon as the 32nd group arrived at the train station of the shipyard, Metzger greeted everyone to eat.
Goss walked to the row of large pots and saw chicken and chicken offal in the pot. He put some ginger in the pot and the aroma was fragrant. He was very satisfied and said: "Not bad, you really have it, you can make something like this." "What a chicken."
Metzger called to the side, and a burly young man came over and introduced him to Gauss: "Chief of Staff, his name is Spike. He is my former soldier. He retired after he retired. We have a chicken farm, and we have more chickens than our group.”
"When I came in the morning, I happened to meet him coming to deliver goods. When he found out, he organized a convoy to deliver a lot of chickens. The shipyard helped kill the chickens and make soup."
Gauss looked at the chickens, which were a head taller than him. Spike patted his thick arm and said, "Good boy, thank you. I'll have someone give you a certificate later."
The army and education are gold-swallowing beasts, so Frederick I came up with a way that people and groups participating in military support activities and educational donations can deduct part of the tax based on the amount.
Although the procedures and certificates are a bit troublesome, it is still affordable and many people are happy to do it.
Spike smiled and said to Gauss: "Sir, if you want to buy chicken in the future, just come to me. My new chicken coop has just been built."
Gauss smiled and said to Metzger: "As expected of the soldiers you brought out, they can do business."
Everyone in the 32nd Regiment came all the way after lunch and only ate compressed food on the way. Biscuits, chicken soup and chicken are all very happy now, not to mention the extra large steam bread made in the shipyard canteen.
Zikker asked Zobel in surprise: "Are the steam buns here so big?"
Zobel replied: "Yes, working in the shipyard is not as good as training." It’s easy and you can naturally eat more.”
“This steamed bread has lard in it, which is much more delicious than the ones outside.”
At this time, several more trucks of happy water arrived from the shipyard, one bottle for each person.
Zobel said thoughtfully: "It seems that the shipyard's business is good this year. The tax offset amount prepared in previous years is not enough."
The shipyard not far away The lights are brightly lit, lighting up the entire sky, and the business of working can be heard here.
At this time, Crom said: "My son discovered that he can play with fire a few months ago. The teacher said that he is not very talented and suggested that he learn fire welding. In the future, he can go to a construction company or a car factory."
"It's a pity that this place is full of wood, otherwise he would come here in the future."
He had been hearing Zobel say that the wages in the shipyard were high, and he had some thoughts in his mind.
Zobel said to him: "Squad leader, the ships in the future will be made of steel. When he grows up, they will probably be the same."
Someone next to him asked in surprise: " Steel can also make a ship? Can it not sink?"
Before Zobel could answer, Crom looked down upon that man: "I will ask the captain to let you go to the kitchen to help wash the pots. See if the iron pot can float on the water.”
Not long after they had eaten and drank, the train pulling wood arrived with the heavy snow.
Gauss immediately organized people to help.
There are many human-powered cranes on the station platform, facing each carriage. In the past, the shipyard porters unloaded one car and then moved on to the next. Tonight, they could be dispersed to guide the soldiers to unload the cars at the same time.
The unloading of timber and the loading of materials were completed quickly. Some people and trucks were passing through, while others stayed at the train station overnight. Civilian trains will come here in advance tomorrow morning to pick them up, and then go to nearby cities. The train station here will depart normally.
The snow stopped when the sun rose, and the communications staff of the division sent the latest reports from the 32nd and 33rd regiments to the canteen.
Eugene glanced at it, handed it to the division chief of staff with a smile, and continued eating breakfast.
Erich looked at it carefully and his face turned dark.
“The 33rd Regiment is good.” He nodded with satisfaction, “Last night an advance team was sent to clear the snow on the road to ensure the rapid passage of the following convoys.”
“Logistics support along the way It went well. Hot soup was prepared in the villages along the way, and the campsite was communicated with in advance.”
“It snowed heavily last night, so the schedule avoids marching in the snow, which is good.”
It can be seen that the chief of staff of the division is very satisfied with the abilities of the officers of the 33rd regiment. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner, even taking into consideration the treatment during a day's rest.
As for the report of the 32nd Regiment, Erich was too lazy to read it a second time. There was only one sentence on it: Our regiment was unobstructed, unimpeded.
He said to Erwin: "What the hell is Gauss doing? It's been all night and the action plan has not been reported yet."
Erwin quickly thought of an excuse: "Our regiment's The recruits have not received several night march trainings. I have discussed this training plan with Gauss before, and he should take the opportunity to implement this training."
"The night march is very busy, and he is temporarily busy. It’s normal to not be able to spare time for a while.”
Erich just made a sound in his throat and accepted this statement.
He turned to Eugene and said: "Division commander, I suggest that the Heijiapu troops pay more attention to the 32nd Regiment." Erich felt that the 32nd Regiment was too lax and asked the Heijiapu troops to help them tighten up. Tighten the strings in your mind.
Eugene was just eating breakfast slowly and did not answer immediately.
After a full five minutes, he said: "Forget it, Heijiapu will be assigned to the 33rd Regiment these two days."
Walter was a little surprised, wondering in his mind how our group had offended the leader, and how to let those guys in Heijiapu torment him.
Erich also didn't understand. He looked at Eugene, waiting for an explanation.
Eugene just said calmly: "Gauss's reaction seems abnormal, but it seems to me to be perfectly normal."
"I think they must have judged that there would be Heijiapu's team went to harass them. Heijiapu can only get information from the division headquarters, so it hides its route of action."
"According to my judgment, they left the military camp at a sufficient distance. The location will be reported to the division headquarters, but the next destination may not be correct, and it is very likely that he will find an excuse to go somewhere else.”
Others think it makes sense. Who here has not been tortured to death by the Heijiapu troops.
Erich said: "I will go find the 32nd Regiment in the morning and follow their actions to see what tricks Gauss is going to play."
Eugene nodded and said: "Okay, I will take Er Wen goes to the 33rd Regiment, and you take Walter to the 32nd Regiment. Let’s learn from each other.”
The division headquarters is not far from the military camps of the regiments, but there are many large trees in this area that are used for the shipyards, which obscures them. line of sight, otherwise the lights on the road would have been seen when the 32nd Regiment left the barracks and headed to the shipyard in the south last night.
Erich walked around in a large circle on the roads and trails north of the 32nd Regiment's military camp. As a result, he didn't see half a person until noon, only some rabbits, pheasants and foxes.
When taking a break for lunch, Erich said a little surprised: "That's right, it seems that they stay out at night and hide during the day to rest."
Walter also sighed: "They can hide well It's great. Although it snowed heavily last night, it is not easy for so many people to hide tightly in the artificial forest."
Walter frowned suddenly and said thoughtfully: "No, we may have fallen into a blind spot in our thinking."
"Erwin is a very smart guy, and the chief of staff and several battalion commanders he found are also just like him, very cunning."< br>
“I suspect that they first walked south to the Danube River. The river embankment road is very easy to walk. After walking east on the river embankment for a while and entering the Putz region, you can walk upstream along a tributary of the Danube River. Near the training ground, there is no shortage of water along the way.”
Walter also agreed with his judgment. No matter when you march, you cannot do without a water source, so there is no need to worry about walking along the river.
As long as the 32nd Regiment drags on for a while and uses the river embankment and road to create distance, it will take time for the Heijiapu troops to catch up. They will almost reach their destination after going back and forth.
So Erich and his men drove south, intending to catch up with the 32nd Regiment on the river embankment road.
While passing a train crossing, the driver asked Erich: "Chief of Staff, do you think the people from the 32nd Regiment will take the train?"
Erich I was shocked that this was indeed a possibility, but after thinking about it I rejected this statement: "They need to coordinate with the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Railways to take the train. It is impossible to bypass the division headquarters and contact the Ministry of Military Affairs."
The driver felt that the chief of staff was right.
When the sky was getting dark, Erich stood on the river embankment. The surrounding area was completely white and there was no sign of anyone passing by. The ice floes on the Danube River had frozen. On the other side, on the land of the Principality of Byrne, A train is heading towards the Osmaga Empire.
“Where did they go?”
Erich and Walter were puzzled.
At the same time, Gauss asked the person in charge of the training ground in surprise: "There is no food in the cafeteria?"
"Yes." The person in charge was also helpless, "Your 3rd Division didn't say you would come so fast. I just signed the purchase plan and you guys arrived."
Gaos could only smile bitterly. The two groups of people After getting off the train, I hurried over here just to have a good meal in the canteen, but they hadn't started preparing the food yet.
"Alas..." He could only shake his head, "Let's eat canned food first. Please prepare some hot soup. It's okay to take a hot bath."
The person in charge said: " No problem, I’ll go get ready.”
At this time, Eugene was inspecting the camp of the 33rd Regiment Headquarters. They have made a lot of efforts to prevent sneak attacks at night and keep warm in winter. It’s going to be lively tonight. .
Erwin also took it seriously, and there was a lot worth learning from the brother troops.
The accompanying communications officer sent a telegram. After reading it, Eugene twitched the corner of his mouth and handed it to Erwin next to him.
“Your 32nd regiment...” Eugene didn’t know what to say for a while.
Erwin was furious after reading the telegram. Here, the 33rd regiment has not walked even one-tenth of the way and is camping in the snow. Over there, his 32nd regiment has already moved into the warmth of the training ground. In the dormitory, you can also take a hot shower.
When the 33rd regiment arrives at the training ground, it is estimated that the 32nd regiment has passed all the assessment subjects. Maybe they can play one round of the single-cycle football match between the camps.
