Chapter 36: Conquer Mashan Village and Save My Sister-in-law
Feng Tiankui felt a chill on his back and his head was about to explode. How could he fight such a strong opponent? No wonder Zhang Xiaoliuzi wanted Lao Jiang's support as soon as possible. Tang Yulin ran so fast!
No wonder Mr. Chiang Bai-ri said that the Chinese army would be defeated and would not be able to defend Nanjing or Wuhan!
Not to mention that Zhou Xiaoshan specifically introduced the Japanese army's Bushido spirit during his lectures. Even the wounded soldiers on the battlefield can detonate a grenade and die with you!
"What is a grenade launcher?"
"This is equipment unique to the Japanese army!"
Zhou Xiaoshan took a pen and paper from the commander's desk and started drawing!
As the rough parameters were written down, Feng Tiankui frowned!
Seeing Zhou Xiaoshan looking at him with a smile, he wanted to tear this guy to pieces!
It turns out that this kid already knew that he could read, and he was just pretending that he couldn't read!
"Did Jialie tell you that I can read?"
"No, if you don't have this much vision, you don't deserve to be by the commander's side!"
"Keep it a secret and don't tell anyone!"
"clear!"
"A grenade launcher is equivalent to a short-range mortar. It is easy to carry and has great power. How come I have never heard of it? The Nationalist Army doesn't have it!"
"There is no standard for this thing. It all depends on experience. Training requires live ammunition. In the hands of Japanese veterans, they can shoot wherever they point. We can hold our own grenades. Without training with hundreds of grenades, I'm afraid we won't even be able to touch the enemy!"
Seeing that Feng Tiankui was a little discouraged, Zhou Xiaoshan encouraged him again!
"So, when fighting against the Japanese, snipers, or sharpshooters, are very important. You must aim at the enemy's machine gunners and grenadiers and kill them as soon as they get their weapons. The initiative on the battlefield will be ours!"
"But they have so many planes and cannons!"
"Dig fortifications, make use of the terrain, and don't fight an unprepared battle! If you can't win, run away and let the enemy fight according to our thinking!"
"That's true, but there are some encounters and tough battles that you have to fight and win!"
It's easy to get addicted to chatting with this kid. Feng Tiankui found that this kid is not only good at talking, but also has a lot of useful information in his mind!
Lots of ideas, and very practical!
It's definitely not just paper talk!
He hardly went home during the New Year holidays. He wished he could catch this kid and chat with him before going to bed at night!
He also followed the boy's suggestion and renamed the Fifth Guard Company to the Engineer Company. The actual number of the Fourth Guard Company remained unchanged. After suppressing the bandits, they infiltrated the Security Regiment and became the Second Battalion of the Security Regiment. They used Yongzhou City as the preset battlefield and began street fighting training!
First train some officer seeds, and two months later, exchange them with the engineering company trained in positions and the fifth guard company trained in mountains!
As he said, the security corps has set up its ranks and recruited more than 400 new recruits. Even a few frontmen and local tyrants in Yongzhou city were drafted into the army by this guy and trained for a month. In the past few days, they have been working with the police station, registering household registrations from house to house while people in the city are reuniting for the New Year. They have also tried out a temporary residence permit system for the outside population, which requires regular registration, and have hidden the Fourth Company there so it doesn't attract any attention at all!
Feng Tiankui agreed readily, but regretted it the moment he did!
This kid is getting more and more outrageous!
According to this guy, communication equipment, telephones and telegraphs must be purchased, the communications department of the division headquarters must be reorganized into a communications battalion, and the radio station must not only train a large number of communications talents, but also purchase radio stations !
The artillery battalion needs to be strengthened. A dozen mountain cannons are simply too timid and a disgrace to the 66th Division!
Not only do we need to purchase cannons, especially heavy cannons, but we also need to train artillery and even expand it to a reinforced regiment!
We even have to purchase military horses and pack horses. Not only do we need cavalry, but we also need to make artillery and baggage regiments equipped with pack horses. If conditions permit, we should organize cavalry battalions and communications battalions. After all, no matter how rich they are, they cannot equip teams below the battalion with radio stations!
In a word, buy a horse!
If possible, in the 66th Division, an average of three soldiers would be equipped with one horse!
He also said that while the pilots sent from Nanjing were here, he would give them more benefits and bribe them to help the 66th Division train flying talents!
I would rather have no plane than no pilot!
You simply think of yourself as a local rich man, how absurd! Feng Tiankui and several brigade commanders are already struggling to improve the soldiers' food and get bullets and guns for live-fire shooting. Where can I get all the astronomical amounts of money for your suggestions?
If he dared to say this to the Marshal, even if Liu Xiang was the number one local rich man in Sichuan, he would spit in his face!
I’m so pissed off!
If it were up to him, he would have given seals to that bastard Zhou Xiaoshan during the Spring Festival!
Beat him with hundreds of military sticks and make him bloom with peach blossoms on his butt!
Seeing Feng Tiankui go home with a lot of anger!
Zhou Xiaoshan grinned with joy, but he regretted it the next moment. The commander didn't want to play with him. It was New Year's Day, and it was so boring!
What era is this? Without even a mobile phone, it’s impossible to be a "phone addict"!
Just organize the soldiers in the guard battalion who can't go home and start training!
You are free anyway, so why not go out on the streets less often? It is good for your health!
His first move was of the standard of a military king, making these one hundred or so people of varying abilities cry out in pain!
Until the day when the troops gather and set out !
Merchants value profit over separation!
Knowing that Commander Feng was going to suppress the bandits personally, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Escort Agency and Manager Hu of the Yongfeng Trading Company began to secretly organize the supply of goods. Before the New Year had even begun, they organized hundreds of large carts of goods and headed for Jinyang in a mighty manner!
If it were this time of year in previous years, they wouldn't dare to move at all, and would not start until at least March!
The bandits who just passed the Spring Festival were all evil bandits who had gone crazy because of poverty. Not only did they charge high tolls, but it was easy to lose your life if you were not careful!
The section where Shaanxi borders Sichuan is even more complicated. There are many rogue landlords who are hiding from the Red Fourth Front Army, and security groups are mixed in with them. For example, there are many such people in Zhenchuan, Shaanxi and Qinling, and they are of varying quality!
The newly formed 3rd, 4th and 5th companies of the Guard Battalion , as well as the original 1st and 2nd companies, assembled and went to Jinyang with the artillery battalion.
Feng Tiankui arrived at the brigade headquarters of the 123rd Brigade and casually asked Zhou Xiaoshan to organize a military meeting!
He promised before the Spring Festival that Zhou Xiaoshan would be in full command of the fight against bandits!
"According to reliable intelligence, during the Spring Festival, the sister-in-law of Qin Brigade Commander of the 123rd Brigade of our 66th Division was sitting in a car, eating hot pot and singing songs, when she was robbed by the bandits Zhenchuan and Shan. She lost both her money and her life! Therefore, bandits must be eliminated at any time, especially during the Spring Festival!"
As soon as this bastard came on stage and looked at the map, he started talking nonsense. Not only did the main officers of the 123rd Brigade drop their eyes to the ground, even Feng Tiankui, who had never seen this kid's bandit suppression plan, couldn't stop laughing!
Brigade Commander Qin listened in amazement. His sister-in-law was taken away by Zhen Chuanshan, so how come I didn’t know?
Where did the headquarters get this information?
"Our Commander Feng sympathizes with his subordinates and feels the same about their suffering. He has decided to send troops to seek revenge. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Brigades, listen to my order. All members must move out at the fastest speed to surround the Dingma Mountain Stronghold! We must not let the bandits escape! Whoever kills the bandit leader Zhen Chuanshan or rescues the sister-in-law of Brigade Commander Qin will be rewarded with two hundred dollars!"
What a surprise! This is a fucking surprise. Zhou Xiaoshan, that bastard, pretended to be building a plank road but secretly crossed the Chencang Pass. He made up an excuse and openly went to encircle and suppress the Sichuan and Shaanxi armies, while secretly ordering the newly formed company and the guard battalion to march quickly to suppress the Qinling Mountains!
The point is, he regretted sending the telegram to the 123rd Brigade the next day. Even with Zheng Chunhua's report, he was afraid that the Red Army would misunderstand!
