"How long has it been? Can't you hold on for 5 minutes?" Huang Shilin, an instructor sent from the 2nd Regiment, loudly warned the ten sweating soldiers.
"On the battlefield, the enemy will not kill you just because you are tired and give you a rest! If you want to avoid being stabbed through the chest by the enemy's bayonet, and if you want to survive, the most effective way is to beat the enemy to death! Let He can’t get close to your body!”
"Raise your hands! Higher! Is this the standard I set?!!"
This is the training of the logistics force, exactly the same as the regular army, without any slack. Zhang Yunhan regards the logistics force as a reserve force. Of course, the reserve force is not only the logistics force, but also the militia.
Now it occupies such a large territory, not to mention the far ones, but the nearby ones. Feng Yuxiang has more than 60,000 people in Guanzhong! I don't want to be wiped out.
However, Zhang Yunhan, who knew history, knew that Feng Yuxiang would march eastward to join forces in April and May, and by then he would completely occupy the Longdong granary.
"What are you looking at!! Is there anything interesting to see? If you don't concentrate on the battlefield, you won't know where the bullets came from!!"
"Extra time 3 minutes!"
"Don't move!! Can't you hear me?"
Zhang Yunhan is inspecting recruit training, which includes formation training, armed cross-country training, rapid assault training, and live-fire shooting training.
"Pull off the lead and throw it into the pit over there! Those who throw it in will eat meat for lunch today. Those who can't throw it in will continue to practice with me!"
Bomb-dropping training is basically done with models of similar weight, but occasionally there will be live-fire training. After all, we can't let new recruits go to the battlefield like this, right?
Zhang Yunhan looked at a young soldier carrying a rifle struggling to hold up a long spear. Zhang Yunhan couldn't bear it, but then he thought of the wise saying: "Sweat more during training and bleed less during battle!"
"Then who! Talking about you! Shitou! Haven't you eaten? Are your hands so weak? What if the enemy steals your rifle? What if the enemy steals your land? Isn't this okay?"
"The others rest, you continue training! You can't eat until I tell you to stop!"
The stone was Huang Shilin's reprimand, and his eyes suddenly turned red. Huang Shilin and Shitou have been playing together since childhood. Huang Shilin, Shitou, was 3 years old and joined Zhang Yunhan's army in October last year. The main reason is that my father received the food from the Commander-in-Chief, which brought hope of survival to a family of five who were facing running out of ammunition and food. If it hadn't been for the food from the Commander-in-Chief, Huang Shilin might never see his sister again. When he heard that the Commander-in-Chief was recruiting troops, Huang Shilin immediately signed up, for no other reason than to repay the Commander-in-Chief's kindness. What people in the northwest value most is kindness, not to mention that the Commander-in-Chief is very friendly to civilians. I heard that the Commander-in-Chief is very friendly to civilians. At the beginning of spring, we will also organize land reclamation.
Shitou had seen Huang Shilin in military uniform, and he loved this army that brought benefits to the people even more. After the New Year, he resolutely voted for the commander-in-chief.
Shitou did not protest against Huang Shilin's punishment, because he knew that this was his brother's love for him. Huang Shilin told him when he visited his home that he saw with his own eyes that the enemy rushed to the position and was blown up by artillery shells not far away. Fragments! The intestines were bloody and covered his face! !
Blinking away the tears from his eyes, Shi Shi held up the rifle tremblingly. He estimated that his arms were as if they were filled with lead. They were so heavy that he almost lost consciousness in both arms.

Northwest Army Headquarters
"Commander, we must expand our army. On the basis of three regiments, we will expand our army by three battalions, and each battalion must be fully staffed."
Lu Gang looked at the map and looked at Zhang Yunhan with a frown.
"Chief of Staff Lu, if we expand the army, won't our army's combat effectiveness drop sharply? How can we hold on to our territory?" Zhang Yunhan had a headache.
"Commander, in fact, we have no big strategic goals at the moment. Our territory is neither big nor small. Moreover, Feng Yuxiang is planning to advance eastward, so we cannot provoke him."
"During this period, at least two or three months
Time, the enemies in Gan Province are no longer of concern, and we should recruit troops aggressively, not only in our territory, but also to spread the news to the Ningqing region. "
"A training base can be established to train infantry and artillery."
Zhang Yunhan was quite moved when he heard what Lu Gang said. Zhang Yunhan's main consideration is Feng Yuxiang's reaction, but now that his troops are stretched thin, taking more territory will be detrimental to defense.
"In accordance with the advice of the chief of staff, and I think that we need to recruit troops aggressively, one regiment is not enough. Each main regiment will add 3 infantry battalions, with veterans serving as squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders, so that veterans can take the lead in leading new recruits. We strive to complete the training within a month, pull them out, and use the battalion as a unit to suppress the bandits."
Lu Gang:? ? ? Is this a big step?
"this?"
"Don't worry, only recruits who have experienced actual combat have combat effectiveness. To train them, these bandits need to contribute."
…
In April 1927, Feng Yuxiang's troops were reorganized into the Second Group Army by the Jiangcheng National Government and served as commander-in-chief, heading east from Tongguan!
With this departure, all of Feng Yuxiang's main forces were taken away, leaving only one division in Gan Province.
In April, the troop training achieved initial results, and the artillery battalion was expanded.
First Division Commander Lu Gang, Deputy Division Commander Li Zhi, Chief of Staff Zhang Hong, and Infantry Instructor Liu Jun. It has 5 regiments under its jurisdiction, each with three infantry battalions and a regimental security company, with a total of 1,800 people.
The 1st regiment leader Zhang Xu*, the 2nd regiment leader Ma Hao*, the 3rd regiment leader Guan Ping*, the 4th regiment leader Ning Long*, and the 5th regiment leader Cao Yuan*.
There are 9,000 people in 5 regiments, plus a mountain artillery regiment, which has three mountain artillery battalions and a mortar battalion. The whole regiment has a total of 1,884 people. Duan Cheng (***) is the commander of the regiment, and Duan Xing (*) is the deputy commander. .
11,000 troops in total! ! !
Of course, more than half of the people had never been on the battlefield. As a result, there was no peace near Zhenyuan County. The two regiments began to advance and march towards Zhenyuan. This was actually actual combat training. Zhang Weixi had mobilized his troops since his defeat. Two regiments were concentrated in Zhenyuan, and together with the previous defeated troops, there were more than 3,000 people.
Artillery fire soon swept through Zhenyuan County.
boom! boom!
More than a dozen mortar shells hit the city wall, and the soldiers hiding behind the wall did not dare to show their heads. There was no other way. The enemy's firepower was too fierce, and the bullets kept passing over their heads. Of course, the first and second regiments did not fire wildly. Bullets are mainly used for shooting practice, allowing soldiers to see blood and test their training results.
Zhang Weixi walked around the war room anxiously. He originally thought that this new warlord Zhang would be stable for a while, but he didn't expect that he would appear just after Commander Feng moved east. He is really a monkey.
However, Zhang Weixi was not in a hurry. According to his opinion, the two regiments outside had no intention of attacking the city.
At the same time, Qingcheng, Heshui, Ningxian, Zhengning, and Changwu launched a mighty campaign to suppress bandits. Each county had a battalion fighting bandits, and gunshots continued.
