Fengxian Jiangshan

After seeing this list, Zhang Tinglan was immediately elated. As long as he gathers a few more, he can have a mountain artillery regiment. As for the 120mm howitzer, it is a complete killer. After Zhang Zuolin gathers enough for a battalion, they are all precious , has been clutching in his hand, as a trump card.

And now, after trading for half a month, I got eight guns. After one winter, how can I get two complete heavy artillery regiments? Now, Fengjun's equipment will be completely replaced by shotguns, and the strength will suddenly expand. Woke up.

In addition to these artillery pieces, the number of Mosin Nagan rifle transactions also exceeded [-], and there were also a large number of shells and bullets, almost piled up like a mountain.

After scanning the munitions, Zhang Tinglan noticed the machines below, including two high-power generators, and more than thirty machine tools, including lathes, planers, milling machines, punching machines, etc., all available.After seeing these things, Zhang Tinglan also showed joy in his eyes.

Xiong Mengyuan even smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, compared to those weapons, I prefer machine tools and generators. With these two, the arsenal will have hands and feet, and with power, it can produce more weapons and equipment. Don't look Those rifles and cannons are good, they are all consumables, they won’t last long, only these machine tools are really valuable.”

"After the European powers went to war, the munitions that had accumulated for many years were exhausted in just one or two months. Now we are fighting for production capacity. From this perspective, machine tools are naturally extremely valuable, but Old Bear. With these machine tools , It also depends on whether you can produce real munitions, otherwise it is still useless?"

"Mr. Zhang, you are forcing me to issue a military order." Xiong Mengyuan calculated in his mind, and then said: "It is still difficult to produce mountain cannons and wild cannons on a large scale. The main problem is the material problem. We don't have qualified As for other things, the production capacity can be greatly increased. For example, it is conservatively estimated that [-] pistols can be produced in a month. The water rifle can reach [-] shots, and the production capacity of bullets and shells can be more than doubled! "

Sure enough, with the machine, there will be production capacity. After Zhang Tinglan heard this figure, she was also very excited.If [-] pistols can be produced every month, it will take half a year.Calculated according to one for every three people, the security division can almost be equipped with pistols.Of course, according to the current situation, in the next six months, Feng Jun will be able to get more equipment from the Russians.The production capacity will increase several times, or even ten times, and the pistol will almost meet the needs of the entire Fengjun by then.

"Mr. Zhang, I have actually been researching Russian grenade mortars for the past two days. I found that this is a treasure to enhance grassroots firepower. Our Fengjun also needs a lot of equipment. But [-]mm is a bit big, nearly a hundred catties The weight is also a bit heavy. The Russian donkeys are tall and big, so you don’t need to care about them, but our soldiers can’t. I plan to imitate them first, and then reduce the caliber to [-]mm or [-]mm. We don’t need to be so strict, we have a solution, and with these machine tools and the original equipment, we can mass-produce mortars within two months!”

After hearing Xiong Mengyuan's words, Zhang Tinglan nodded again and again. It seems that he really put his heart into it. Mortars are indeed a weapon that Fengjun urgently needs to equip.

"Old Xiong, go back to Jilin now, familiarize yourself with the machine, and then make a list of what you need. If we can move back from Russia, we will move back as much as possible!"

In fact, in the first few days of the transaction, whether it was the Russian or Zhang Tinglan, there was a hint of testing. After all, the two sides still couldn't fully believe it, but after half a month of trading, the two sides were completely relieved.

Moreover, the scope of transactions is not limited to the military. For ordinary businessmen, the Russian army simply turns a blind eye. As long as the money is delivered, they don't care what they sell, but the more they sell. , the more they earn, especially those Chinese businessmen, the more they never empty-handed every time.

The officers above stuffed a lot of money, and the ordinary big soldiers were also polite, smoking and drinking constantly. Finally, these Russian soldiers were completely corrupted by sugar-coated shells, lost their last fighting power, and the green light was opened all the way.

"I really didn't expect the Russians to be so stupid. They simply took the country seriously. The first few days we traded at night, but now it's in broad daylight. I heard that the two sides will hold a meeting by the riverside." city?"

"That's right, I didn't expect the Russians to be so bold." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The new market is just outside Fuyuan County, and as long as we put our products on the market, Russian domestic merchants will Come here to pick and purchase, and then transport them to the black market for sale, as long as the Russian army is fed, nothing is impossible!"

Xiong Mengyuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I think this is an opportunity. Once these Russian teams lose their vigilance, can we take a wider view? After all, the factories in the Far East are not large. , the technology is not considered advanced, I think we should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move some of the factories and machines from Tsarist Russia in Europe!"

"Hahaha, old bear, we have already made arrangements." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Our transaction with the Far East military is just a way to buy money. If we feed them, it means that Russia will open the door. Let's take advantage of their chaotic situation. At that time, all the machines needed will be brought here, and I have already issued a death order to Wang Tieshan who is in charge of this matter, asking him to bring back at least [-] machine tools, or he will be severely punished!"

Now that [-] units have been obtained, the production capacity of the arsenal will increase by a large amount. If [-] units are obtained, wouldn't it be soaring into the sky!Xiong Mengyuan rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkled.

"Old Xiong, don't be too happy too early. It's good if one-fifth of these machine tools are for military use, and the rest are for civilian use. What we need is an industrial system, not just a military industry. In addition, we need to get Power generation, coal mining, and smelting equipment, with these things, the steel industry will have a foundation, and the next step is to break through the technology of special steel, and we can produce large-caliber artillery!"

After Xiong Mengyuan heard this, he was so happy that he jumped up, he kept gearing up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, it is a pleasure to work with you. Our military industry has taken shape so soon. The arsenal will not be officially put into production in ten or eight years."

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty is desperate. We are racing against time. If my estimation is correct, whether the Russians can survive this winter is definitely in between. You have also seen Khabarovsk on the opposite side. If you want to put these Once the sacred territory is back, we must work hard to develop the military industry and achieve self-sufficiency in weapons as soon as possible!"

After an explanation, Xiong Mengyuan and Chen Qiming escorted the goods back to Jilin respectively. As for Zhang Tinglan who continued to sit in Fuyuan, he had to wait for the business route to be completely stabilized before handing it over to others with confidence.

To put it bluntly, this is a blood vessel full of nutrients. As long as it is firmly grasped, within half a year, the industry in the three eastern provinces will undergo a qualitative change.

As time passed, the small town of Fuyuan suddenly became extremely lively these days. A large number of carriages were loaded with food, wine, leather clothes and other supplies. After they were transported here, they were loaded with ammunition and equipment. shipped back to the province.

This line runs day and night, and all the people who are running on this road forget their fatigue, and they are full of energy. The sudden profits of several times and ten times make the businessmen's blood spurt, and they join this feast of making money without hesitation. middle.As for the people in the military, it was the same. Seeing the powerful equipment being brought back continuously, everyone felt as if they were in heaven. They were about to faint from happiness, and even hoped that it would never end.

Zhang Tinglan was like this every day, exhausted and excited. After almost a month, almost all the supplies hoarded in Jilin were transported to Russia, and a huge amount of supplies were exchanged.

Just when everyone was looking forward to continuing to expand the scale of the transaction, Zhang Tinglan suddenly suppressed the smuggling activities, and the daily shipments dropped by more than [-]%, and he himself left Fuyuan and returned to Jilin happily.

"Zhuoyan, what the hell are you planning? Why did you take the initiative to stop? Do you want to stop when you see it?"

"How can we stop? It's just a small trick. It's called hunger marketing. We can't exchange as much as the Russians want. Now they are begging us. Should we discuss the price and exchange things? Do you want to discuss it, in the first month, whet their appetite, and then we will slaughter them."

When Zhang Zuoxiang heard this, his eyes widened. To be honest, he was more excited than Zhang Tinglan these days. He ran to see the equipment he got back every day. It was like a dream. So many good things became his own. , I didn't even dare to dream about it before, but now it's completely exchanged for the price of cabbage.

"Zhuoyan, if you slaughter them again, I'm afraid the Russians will squeeze out all the bone marrow oil!"

"When dealing with the Russians, you must not be polite. Dad, let me figure it out. The artillery I got back during this period is enough for the security division to equip, right?"

"Let's go and see for ourselves. These artillery bastards have good things, so they can't relax!"

Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan came to the barracks of the artillery regiment. Although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, the atmosphere of the barracks was still very warm. On the school grounds, there were six 76mm mountain cannons facing them. The trainers were handing over the cannons to the recruits. Looking at these With the cold murder weapon, Zhang Tinglan straightened her waist unconsciously, feeling more and more confident in her heart.

Chapter 271 Reorganization in Progress

As the saying goes, practice three nines in winter and three days in summer.Army training is something that can't be stopped for a moment. The security division has been known for its strict training since its establishment. This winter, Zhang Tinglan has increased the difficulty of training by a large margin and added many new items.

Soldiers are trained to fight in the snow, learn to use skis, practice long-distance raids, urban street fighting, and hand-to-hand combat. All training must be close to actual combat, focusing on finding and solving problems.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also hired more than 200 Russian soldiers and asked them to practice against Fengjun as imaginary enemies. At the same time, he set up special Russian courses among Fengjun, requiring soldiers to learn simple daily conversations. These preparations are aimed at Russians everywhere. Obviously, the intention of preparing for war is very obvious.

Zhang Tinglan knew better than anyone that there was less and less time left for Fengjun. If he couldn't quickly gain the ability to fight against the Russians, he wouldn't be able to get anything.Of all training, artillery is the most important, and it is also the key to success.

When Zhang Tinglan saw that the soldiers on the school field were seriously training and operating the artillery, he was very satisfied. Qin Wei, the commander of the artillery regiment, was in charge of commanding the training. He was a student of the artillery department of Baoding Military Academy. More than three years ago, he went to join Zhang Zuolin outside the pass. , in this era, Baodingsheng is a golden signboard, and Zhang Zuolin valued him very much. At that time, Zhang Zuoxiang was still the head of the artillery regiment, and Qin Wei became Zhang Zuoxiang's subordinate.

Qin Wei has done a lot of meritorious service in previous battles, and his military quality is also good. Now that he has also been promoted to the position of artillery regiment commander, he can definitely be regarded as a general under Zhang Zuoxiang's command.

At this time, he was directing the soldiers to carry out aiming training on the school grounds, holding a horsewhip in his hand, staring at these soldiers, as long as anyone made a mistake, he would not say anything.Going up is just a whip, but if you make sure that this whip goes down, there will be a purple bruise on your body, which hurts your heart.

Seeing Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan coming, Qin Wei hastily walked a few steps, saluted and said hello: "Teacher, you are here!"

"Well, the training is very lively, not bad."

"Teacher, we have so many good weapons. If you don't know how to use them, and put them aside as vases, wouldn't it be too shameful!"

When Qin Wei said this, he was also excited, as a soldier.There is no one who doesn't like good weapons, all kinds of artillery obtained from the Russians this time.Look at the whole country.They are all the most advanced, especially those 120 [-]mm howitzers, which are even more addictive.

As long as he has time, Qin Wei will go and have a look. He also knows that Fengjun has already had a batch of heavy artillery, but it is directly under the command of the commander.They couldn't touch it, and now Zhang Zuoxiang also had heavy artillery in his hands, and the number far exceeded a battalion, which made Qin Wei ecstatic.

"Training cannot be relaxed for a moment. We are surrounded by powerful enemies. If we don't have two brushes, we will never get a firm foothold."

"I understand, but there is still a little problem. The number of artillery in our security division is far beyond the size of a regiment. Is it necessary to adjust the size of the artillery in the next step? Otherwise, there are only one regiment, and it is a bit difficult to use!"

"Father, Commander Qin is right on point. The artillery must be adjusted, but I think the entire Feng army should be adjusted together. Great efforts must be made to rectify the establishment."

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly. It is true that the Fengjun has occupied the entire three eastern provinces and has carried out large-scale adjustments. The troops have been unified and reorganized to determine the main combat troops and garrison troops. It is also necessary to unify the equipment system to reduce the logistical pressure and facilitate the joint operations of all Fengjun. These tasks are urgent.

However, these tasks involve various interests, and are the most difficult to adjust. During this time, Zhang Tinglan was in Fuyuan, and she didn't know the situation here. How many times did Zhang Zuolin send telegrams to Zhang Zuoxiang to discuss the adjustment of the troops? question.

"Yu Shuai has a preliminary idea. He wants to divide the Fengjun troops into three levels. Among them, the garrison division, the 27th division, and Wu Junsheng's cavalry division will be the first-class main combat troops of the Fengjun army. Form two garrison divisions, place them in Dongbiandao and Taonan, and withdraw all the original strength of the two divisions in Jilin and Heilongjiang, and organize them into three garrison brigades, responsible for guarding the area."

While listening to her father's introduction, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help thinking about Zhang Zuolin's plan. There were four divisions in the Fengjun Army, but now three divisions are the main force. The teacher's performance was seriously dissatisfied, and he took the opportunity to cancel it, which is also what he should.However, splitting the 28th Division into two garrison divisions is somewhat meaningful.

The combat effectiveness of these two divisions is obviously not comparable to that of the first-class main force, but they bear the name of the division, and most of them are used to accommodate those old people who serve the army, such as Zhang Jinghui, Ji Jinchun, Zhang Haipeng and others. Deep, seniority, directly thrown into the cold palace, it seems that Lao Zhang is not sympathetic.

Now stuffed into the two garrison divisions, the rank is very high, and the power has shrunk, which is also a common method used by the superiors. As for the dismantling of the two divisions in Jilin and Heilongjiang and organizing them into three brigades, it is obviously to completely weaken or even eliminate the two divisions. remaining local forces.

The situation in Jilin is relatively good. Since the elimination of Gao Shibin and his subordinates, Jilin only has a force of garrison divisions, while Heilongjiang is more troublesome. The two Manchus, Yingshun and Ba Yinger, each command a brigade Troop strength is also a potential hazard, so we must find a way to eradicate the weakening, and this reorganization plan has a stronger meaning for them.

"Father, this plan is not bad, but how should the three garrison brigades be allocated?"

"Yuting means two in Heilongjiang and one in Jilin. However, I have some disagreements with this distribution plan. Jilin's border defense line is longer than that of Heilongjiang, and the pressure is greater. According to reason, Jilin should have at least two brigades, which is enough. use."
