Fengxian Jiangshan

"Well, since you have an idea, go ahead and do it. If you get results, I'll celebrate you. If something goes wrong, I'll spank your ass!"

Speaking of Zhang Zuoxiang also showed a cheerful smile. With a capable son, he can worry less. Zhang Zuoxiang does not have much desire for power. He is very satisfied with his current status. The only hope is that his son can achieve success. Can shine on the lintel.

"Father, after all, there is still a lack of people in the border areas. Fengtian will have to immigrate in large numbers in the next step. The black land under our feet is the most fertile. There is no problem at all to support 3000 to [-] million people. As the saying goes, more people are more powerful, and we have enough manpower. , it will be easier to deal with the Japanese.”

"Ting Lan, the Japanese have to be on guard, but they can't make their swords tense. After all, their strength is not comparable to ours. Sometimes we have to endure it. We are not afraid of suffering a little loss now. As long as we can get it back later, we will be fine." .”

While the two were discussing things, Yang Yuting rushed back from Zhuanghe.Just after Nakamura suffered a stroke, Oshima Inuichiro and his men withdrew back to Lushun in desperation, and the Japanese from the other two brigades had to go back just as they were halfway there.

Yang Yuting watched the Japanese bring a large number of carriages, he knew very well that most of them were munitions, and Yang Yuting couldn't help coveting, if this could get into the hands of Feng Jun, it would be a huge blow to Feng Jun's strength Ascension, this is also a disease inherited from staying with Zhang Tinglan for a long time. Whenever I see something good, I want to get it.

But Yang Yuting was very clear-headed, the five or six hundred Japanese soldiers were not easy to deal with, and even if they could be dealt with, they would provoke even greater revenge from the Japanese.

"Zhuoyan, the commander-in-chief has given me an order to return to Fengtian to deal with my errands. I wonder if you have anything else to say?"

Yang Yuting is still the Chief of Staff of the Fengjun Army, and Lao Zhang's right-hand man is not an official of the East Road, so returning to Fengtian is the right thing to do.Zhang Tinglan really wanted him to report something to Lao Zhang, so he dragged Yang Yuting to Zhang Zuoxiang's office. After the two parties sat down, Zhang Zuoxiang spoke first.

"Ling Ge, this time the Eastern Dao has pacified the rebel army, but to defend the place well, a large number of troops are needed, and two regiments alone will not be able to do it!"

What Zhang Zuoxiang said was the truth. Because of Fang Wendong's rebellion, most of the Dongbian Dao army was involved, and this kind of army could not be used at all.Zhang Tinglan is already preparing to send them to the border area of ​​the Yalu River as hard labor and use labor to atone for their sins.

The rest of the swaying grass must also be cleaned up. Since he started training the independent brigade, Zhang Zuoxiang's vision has become higher and higher. If you want an army to have combat effectiveness, the source of troops is the foundation. The old army must not use it.

At present, there are only two regiments that can be used by Dongfangdao, which is definitely not enough.Yang Yuting is also very aware of this.

"Guardian, how do you think the troops should be adjusted?"

"Linge, the commander-in-chief doesn't have enough troops. I think I'll bring the second brigade of the security division over here for training in Fengcheng. Let them familiarize themselves with the geography, and then prepare the artillery and cavalry. In this way, it is almost enough to guard the east road."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I think the artillery will use all the Japanese [-]-style mountain cannons. This time we have captured enough, so we will directly pull out an artillery regiment."

"Zhuoyan, how do I remember that only eighteen gates were seized? Could it be that Fengcheng has another harvest?"

"The Japanese Fang Wendong is pretty good. I found twelve doors in his hands, and found six more in the arsenal. They were bought by Ma Longtan before. Adding up all of them, there are a total of 36 doors, exactly one There are twelve battalions. It can equip three battalions and one regiment."

The Liaodong area and the Changbai Mountain area have rugged terrain and many mountains. It is better for the artillery to be nimble and light. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan did not have [-] artillery pieces in a battalion like Beiyang, but only equipped with [-] artillery pieces.

"This Fang Wendong acted as a transporter for nothing, and it's all at our advantage." Yang Yuting asked again: "What about the cavalry?"

"I'm thinking about promoting Ma Zhanshan one step higher and making him the commander of the cavalry, as a mobile force to guard the safety of the place.

"Humble words, Ma Zhanshan is Wu Junsheng's favorite general. I think you have to figure out whether he can give up his love."

"No problem, at worst, let Uncle Wu set a price, I admit that I will bleed profusely!"

A good thing made Zhang Tinglan say it as if he was buying and selling people, Yang Yuting and Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't help laughing.

The garrison division was originally expanded from an independent brigade. There was a huge shortage of troops, and there were only two infantry brigades. This time, the cavalry and artillery were supplemented, and then the engineering, communication and medical teams were added. If you are in your early years, you can basically compete with the few townspeople in Old Beiyang.

Although the artillery of the garrison division may be a bit thin, the number of machine guns is quite large, which can guarantee each company a heavy machine gun, and Zhang Tinglan has formed another machine gun company.

A well-organized garrison division can definitely be compared with the 27th division. It can be called the first-class elite force of Fengjun. With this unit in hand, the strength of Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan's father and son can almost compete with Zhang Zuolin. The well-deserved number two among them.

As the chief of staff of Lao Zhang, Yang Yuting had to think from Lao Zhang's point of view. He said to Zhang Tinglan, "My words, after I return to Fengtian, I must pay close attention to the regularization of the army. I will reopen the lecture hall. Everyone in the army must go to the lecture hall to study, and you, the commander-in-chief, personally roll your name, so there is no exception."

"Don't worry, Lin Ge, not only me, but also other officers of the garrison division have to study again. As long as this place is stable, I will put on my schoolbag and go to school honestly. Not only do I need to study, but I also suggest that the officers With proper rotation, any commander should have a strong ability to adapt, and can't just guard his own one-acre three-point land."

Zhang Tinglan's words are equivalent to clarifying the matter, there is no need to worry about our strength increasing, we are still very loyal to the commander-in-chief, there is no problem.Yang Yuting is also very relieved that Fengjun is still in a period of rapid rise, and the worst thing is internal fighting. Only when everyone thinks in one place and works hard in one place can Fengjun truly prosper.

After Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan discussed it properly, they set off to rush back to Fengtian. After sending Yang Yuting away, Fengcheng ushered in a group of new guests. Xiong Mengyuan brought a large group of Russian technicians to Fengcheng.

They were originally assigned to Tieling, but there are still many Japanese spies along the Nanman Railway.Moreover, Fengcheng has just experienced a big battle, and there are a lot of ordnance that need to be repaired, and the frontier defense task here is very heavy, so it is very helpful to arrange the ordnance repair factory here.

Of course, Lao Zhang also has his own calculations. The ordnance factory is placed under Zhang Tinglan's nose, so he is not afraid that he will not work hard to find a way to solve the problem of the machine. It's done.

"Mr. Zhang, along the way, I saw newspapers talking about you, you use soldiers like a god, and the rebels are wiped out in a single blow!"

"Old Xiong, your beard level has risen very quickly, don't look at this set of things, it's not practical."

"Look at what you said, am I, Xiong Mengyuan, that kind of person? This time I will let you see our results."

While talking, Xiong Mengyuan brought Zhang Tinglan to a special room. In front of Zhang Tinglan were two pistols with a metallic texture, and Zhang Tinglan's eyes lit up immediately.

Chapter 185

Zhang Tinglan held a heavy pistol with a smile on his face, and Xiong Mengyuan beside him was even more triumphant.

"This gun is an imitation Browning m1903 pistol, which is also known as a horse brand in China. However, in order to increase the power, we did not use the original 7.65mm bullets, but used 9x19mm round bullets. , The power has been greatly improved, I personally killed a wild boar at a distance of more than 30 meters, and my brain was shattered at that time."

Pistols have a huge advantage in close combat. Japanese soldiers are famous for their assassination skills, and their training is indeed hard. Based on the current training situation of Fengjun, they want to compare with the Japanese in terms of assassination skills. There is a taste of using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, if you want to deal with Japanese bayonets, the best way is to equip a large number of pistols. One pistol can support three soldiers, and the lethality is even more amazing, and your own losses are smaller.

When it comes to the real battlefield, ordinary knife wounds and gunshot wounds, even if they have a fatal effect, people will not die immediately, they often struggle to the death, which can cause very serious consequences, so the power of the pistol must be large, as for the range, it is not so important.

Although Xiong Mengyuan's imitation pistol is not as exquisite as the original one, it is definitely a very rare item, and it is enough for Fengjun to exert a strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

Pistols have an unrivaled advantage in close-range firefights. When fighting against the Japanese army, even if Feng Jun can’t fight them with bayonets, he can still use pistols to make up for this gap. A pistol can hold up to three or more soldiers.

"This is just a Browning m1903 pistol, and the other is a Browning m1911 pistol, which uses 11.43mm bullets. It can hold seven bullets and is more powerful. It can kill a wild animal with a single shot from tens of meters away. Xiong, because of its large caliber, is also known as the big-eyed pistol in China, and the U.S. Army is also equipped with it, and it is definitely a very good pistol.”

Zhang Tinglan weighed the two pistols and was very satisfied: "Brother, it's good to be able to imitate. But if you want to equip a large number of troops, you must have a sufficient number."

As soon as this was mentioned, Xiong Mengyuan spread his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhang, due to the serious shortage of machines, many parts have to be polished by hand, which seriously affects the production. We can only make fifty or sixty in a month. .And the horse brand luzi is relatively easy. The cost is only six silver dollars, but the big eye luzi is a bit troublesome, the cost is higher, and the production is more difficult."

"It is indeed too little, can it be increased?"

"That will affect other work. We not only need to imitate guns, but also repair them. Of course, if we can solve the problem of the machine, our production will definitely increase rapidly. Hundreds of guns a month will not be a problem."

"Old Xiong. You are here to collect debts, but don't worry, don't look at me busy with counterinsurgency during this time, I have also figured out a way for the machine. Russia has had a difficult winter, and many factories have shut down , especially in the Far East, let me prepare, let's move the Russian factory directly!"

When Xiong Mengyuan heard this, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide, as if he could hold a goose egg.

"Mr. Zhang, you are really crazy. The Russians are still working hard in Europe. You are poaching their corners by doing this."

"The corner of the wall has already been dug. Aren't the technicians around you kidnapped like this? Our next move will be even bigger. The ultimate goal is to empty the Far East!"

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Xiong Mengyuan was completely speechless, this guy is not good enough to be the Czarist Russia, he dares to be so bold, it's almost fatal!But this kind of madness just matched his temper. Xiong Mengyuan said with a smile: "I have already felt that coming to Fengtian is the most correct choice for me. As long as I solve the machine, I will be sure to make a cannon!"

Seeing that Xiong Mengyuan was full of energy, Zhang Tinglan was also very happy, but he felt the heavy pressure more. Although Fengjun was making rapid progress, Zhang Tinglan could not rest assured that the most critical weapon problem was not resolved.

It seems that the key to everything lies with the Russians. Zhang Tinglan was thinking about it, and Xiong Mengyuan took out a few more things, including their imitation water lianzhu rifle and an engineering shovel.

This was all explained by Zhang Tinglan. In the past, the Fengjun did not pay much attention to fortification construction. The trenches they dug were only over one meter long, and most of their bodies were exposed. If they faced Japanese soldiers with amazing marksmanship, they would basically be a living target.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan has attached great importance to fortification construction since the establishment of the independent brigade. The powerful power has also been shown in these few battles. A good fortification group can greatly reduce casualties, and the value of engineers has finally been reflected.

A well-designed engineering shovel has become a very important thing. According to the actual needs of the battlefield, Xiong Mengyuan shortened the wooden handle of the shovel and used a streamlined design at the position that is easy to wear , In addition, a few holes were drilled on the shovel so that the engineer shovel can be tied to the backpack.
