"us……"
"We are a team that protects people."
The old man looked at Zhang Yunhan sincerely: "But why are you all wearing sewn clothes?"
Zhang Yunhan:. . .
"Old man, how could we..." Zhang Yunhan was a little embarrassed to say it.
The old man saw his concerns at a glance.
"Sir, you (in dialect, you) are much better than in other troops. In Boss Zhang's troops, they were just raided a few months ago, and they didn't even have enough food reserves for the winter. What a thief. There has been severe drought year after year, and the crops have not been harvested. Sooner or later, we will starve to death, alas~"
The old man found a clean piece of ground and pulled Zhang Yunhan to sit down directly: "There used to be very few people here (in local dialect, our place), but now there are wars in this place (in local dialect, now). We don't know when to break up." Only then can you live a beautiful life."
After chatting with the old man for a long time, the soldiers set up camp in the afternoon.
Zhang Yunhan sat in the camp, thinking about how to develop.
Longdong has a large amount of oil and gas resources, as well as 230 billion tons of coal resources. If these are developed, they will bring continuous wealth to the local area. With these, heavy industry can be developed, and there are also iron ore and other rare metal minerals.
The only thing that limits this development is transportation, equipment, and talent. What's more, how to develop in this era of war and chaos?
After much deliberation, Zhang Yunhan decided that first of all, regional stability must be maintained. These warlords must be defeated, including those with little development ability, and resources must be integrated. The entire northwest has a population of 15 million, vast land, and rich oil and gas resources. , enough to develop into a new industrial center.
Then you must set a goal. You can have 750 soldiers in a month, about two battalions. You can use one battalion as the main station force, split the 2nd battalion into two battalions, recruit and expand the 2nd battalion 3 Battalion, in this way a regiment can be quickly trained, coupled with its own weapons and equipment, and artillery will be arranged later when there are more people, sweeping across Longdong is not a problem. But this Feng Yuxiang is not easy to deal with. Although Feng Yuxiang has contributed to the development of Long Province, his goal is not just development, but the development of industry and agriculture.
…
A month later, Zhang Yunhan already had a thousand people under his command. Initially, he quickly recruited a group of qualified soldiers through four oceans of military pay and food subsidies.
Add an 81st mortar company, equipped with Brand 81mm mortars: 66 men, equipped with 37 rifles, 23 pistols, 6 81mm mortars, 15 carriages, 12 trailers, and 19 horses .
Horses are mainly purchased from nearby villages. The system cannot create horses, but bicycles can (manual dog heads).
After a month of development, his military strength has occupied this township. However, the strength of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions has yet to be tested. In order not to expose himself, Zhang Yunhan decided to remain content until at least the New Year. By that time, he could Collect enough troops of more than 2,000 people to take over the county seat directly.
Zhang Yunhan came to the training ground. This was a deserted place. Where else had Zhang Yunhan caught scorpions in this place in his original world? But when he walked back, he discovered that it was a cemetery area. Catching scorpions at night was still a cemetery area. , let alone being young is better.
"Report to the head of the regiment! Our 2nd and 3rd Battalions are conducting live fire training, please give instructions!"
"continue."
"yes!"
The battalion commander's name is Zhang Xu. He is the first one-star infantry talent. Zhang Yunhan appointed him as the chief of staff of the first regiment, responsible for soldier training. It must be said that the products produced by the system are outstanding. Although Zhang Xu looks elegant, But with a loud voice and strict implementation of training requirements, the recruits have become effective after only one week in his hands.
Snapped!
Snapped!
The gunfire of Mauser 1898 was so clear that Zhang Yunhan, who had itchy hands, also picked up a gun and aimed and shot under the guidance of a battalion commander.
Snapped!
Great, hit the ground!
Come again.
This time it was good, it hit the target, but unfortunately it hit the very edge.
As for artillery training, Zhang Yunhan did not train because the foreign code characters on the cannons were still very difficult for people with little education. Moreover, there are currently sufficient artillery. When the county is captured, a military academy will be established and artillery personnel will be trained. After all, there are only 25 biochemical engineers per day, which is only 9,000 people per year. We cannot rely on system soldiers to fight the war for ten years, right? That's too. . . .
…
Sometimes, things are not so satisfactory. In the late twelfth month of 1926, Zhao Wenhua and Chen Guizhang held up the flag of the "Gansu Rebel Mixed Regiment" and led nearly a hundred people to the Panke and Xiangle areas of Ning County at the western foot of Ziwu Mountains, and moved to the Kangjiayuan, Jiuxian Township, haunts Taoshu Village in the township, robbing the rich to help the poor, recruiting troops and horses, and expanding his power. Zhao Wenhua is called the leader of the regiment, and Chen Guizhang is called the deputy regiment. They heard that there was a troop of several hundred people near Ning County, and they had the idea of annexation.
On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Yunhan, who was training, received a report from a battalion of scouts. There were more than 300 bandits approaching, and the distance between them was less than 3 kilometers!
"What? What kind of group of people is this? I didn't expect that I would be discovered after hiding for almost three months. However, there are only 300 people. Inform First Battalion Commander Zhang Xu and prepare to fight! Capture these 300 people for me."
"yes!"
The 1st Battalion was composed of all system soldiers. Not only their fighting will but also their tactics could be said to be the first-class soldiers of this period. However, Zhang Yunhan had never seen such a scene before, so he mobilized the 2nd Battalion as reserve soldiers and found Zhang Xu on the front line.
From the feedback from the scouts, it can be seen that the enemy troops came directly over the mountains from Jiulongchuan, and their whereabouts were concealed along the way. If it were not for the suggestion of 2nd Battalion Commander (one-star) Ma Hao, he might have ignored this side.
"Battle Commander Zhang, what do you think should be the appropriate arrangement?"
"Commander, the firepower of our unit is several times that of the enemy, and the enemy is just a bandit. From my point of view, we can occupy the high ground on the plateau, wait for them to reach the plain, and directly cover them with vitality. I guarantee that a wave of shooting will cover them." Take down the enemy!"
"Okay! Just do as you say."
In fact, Zhang Yunhan didn't know how to arrange it, but he had the advantage in terms of firepower and troops. He waited for work and directly output a wave of firepower. There was nothing the enemy could do.
Zhao Wenhua, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and Chen Guizhang didn't know yet that they would die here.
"Damn it, it's such a bumpy road, who had the bad idea to go this way."
"Captain, this road is not easy to walk, but no one expected that we would make a surprise attack from here. We can also reduce some losses by then, right?"
Zhao Wenhua looked at the squad leader with a flattering look on his face and felt extremely proud.
