The crisp sound of horses' hooves rushed all the way along the river embankment, along the outer wall of the barracks towards the gate, about five miles away from Yingshui County, was the camp of the garrison. The 88th Division commanded by Ye Feng was subordinate to the 19th Army of the Second Military Region, the 19th Army was reorganized from the original newly organized First Army, and the commander was Chen Bin, who was transferred from the former Northern Field Army. Chen Bin was originally an officer of the Yan State, captured in the battle of Yan and Donghu, and was later rescued by Xu Yuan, who joined the Eastern Army at that time, and fought with Donghu in the north for several years, and was promoted to the division commander step by step.

With the westward shift of the center of gravity of the Han State, most of the troops belonging to the Northern Group Army originally stationed in Yingshui were transferred to the Jinyang area after being reorganized into the First Military Region, and the 19th Army was also ordered to move the defense, and the 88th Division to which Ye Feng belonged was transferred to Chen Bin as a whole and became a member of the 19th Army.

As the youngest division commander in the Han army, Ye Feng, who is only twenty-four years old this year, bears more pressure than others. can be promoted to the position of division commander, Ye Feng himself knows that it has an inseparable relationship with the background behind him, and he has the same hair as himself, even if his combat achievements are more remarkable than his own, the highest one so far is only a regiment commander, and in the army, it is not that there is no voice of discussion, of course, these are all private. However, Ye Feng knew it himself, but the more this was the case, the more he wanted to make some achievements and prove that he was capable of this position.

The combat effectiveness of the 88th Division was originally second to none in the 19th Army, because under Meng Chong's command, Ye Feng no matter what level of position he held, his command always had the highest proportion of veterans among all troops, and the grassroots officers were the best of the best, and some people in the Second Military Region joked that the platoon commander of the 88th Division was more than enough to be a company commander in other armies, and it was a piece of cake for the company commander to be a battalion commander. Later, even if the army was expanded. The proportion of veterans in the 88th Division is still 70%, which is an astonishing ratio, you know, in other units, this proportion can reach half, even if it is the core force of the main force.

For the overall transfer of the 88th Division to his command, Chen Bin welcomed it with both hands, and after the reorganization of the 19th, because of the defeat of Pengcheng, morale was relatively low. All the soldiers feel that they are inferior to others, and the lack of personnel is also serious, the 88th Division is the establishment of a division, but the personnel are more than 15,000 people, which is nearly half more than a normal full-strength division, Chen Bin of course knows that this is because Ye Feng is the commander of this division. At first, he was still very worried about whether Ye Feng could suppress the formation, whether he really relied on nepotism, so after the 88th Division was stationed in Yingshui. He ran to Yingshui twice in three days, but he ran a few times, and watched Ye Feng lead the troops to train and work on the sand table. After the analysis of the battle case and the heart-to-heart conversation between the two, Chen Bin was completely relieved, the 88th Division didn't need to be half distracted, after all, he was a person who grew up with the king. Since he was a child, he was ordered by the king's ear, how could it be bad? And seeing the scars on Ye Feng's body, this person is definitely a real warrior. Sometimes. You can't believe all the words outside, compared to the 88th Division, the other two divisions of the 19th Army really have to worry a little more.

Yingshui military camp is built extremely magnificent, the military camp of the same color reinforced concrete structure is not only neat, but also strong, the wall is as high as three meters, outside the wall, is the river embankment, compared with other places, the river embankment outside the military camp has already been hardened with cement, originally Fang Shu also wanted to accumulate landscape trees on the edge of the hardened river embankment, which was vetoed by Ye Feng.

The war horse stopped outside the barracks, Ye Feng turned over and dismounted, the sentry at the door hurriedly ran over and took the reins of the horse from Ye Feng's hand, in the barracks, no horses are allowed, this is an iron rule, even the supreme garrison leader Ye Feng is no exception.

Stepping into the camp gate, a group of officers from the division headquarters had already greeted them.

"Today I went down to all regiments to take a look, the weather is hot, and all departments have cut corners in their training, and where the specific inspection results are in Staff Officer Sun, the General Staff Section immediately gave me a written letter, publicly circulated the criticism, and the commander of the third regiment gave me a warning." He said loudly as he strode in the direction of the barracks of the Staff Section.

"Understood!" Behind him, the chief of the staff section said in a loud voice, although it was a hot day, every officer and soldier in the division headquarters was in military uniform and meticulous, even if he was sweating profusely, he did not dare to unbutton his buttons.

"In addition, the logistics department informed the county order that our department should buy a batch of mung beans and herbs to prevent heat stroke in large quantities, and I hope he can organize the supply as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"A plan will be drawn up immediately for the training class, and starting in the second half of the year, our division will begin to conduct water exercises, which will be carried out in batches with companies as units." Speaking of this, Ye Feng stopped, thought for a while, turned his head and said: "By the way, let me know that this is a planned exercise, purely for military training, not for them, they are welcome to watch!" ”

There was laughter behind him.

In the midst of laughter, the group had already entered the staff section, the barracks of the staff section were a few sizes larger than the other sections, the most conspicuous thing was the map that occupied an entire wall and the huge sand table in the center of the house, which took up almost half of the space, and all the staff officers' tables were crowded into the corners.

Walking to the sand table, with his hands on the edge, Ye Feng stared at the sand table, every time he inspected the regiments, he would come to the staff section for the first time to stand for a while, everyone in the division headquarters was used to it.

A Yingshui River, distinguishing the enemy from us, the river is us, the river is them, after looking at it for a while, Ye Feng took a small red flag, planted it heavily on the opposite Yingchuan County, flattened his mouth, turned around and walked out. A group of staff officers behind him secretly shrugged their shoulders, pulled out the little red flag again, and inserted it back into his original place.

When he returned to his office, he lifted the cold kettle on the table, and poured it with a sigh of relief, when there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Li Kaifu, the head of the logistics section, walked over quietly.

"Lao Li, the latest batch of grenades to arrive, you must store them separately, you must pay attention to safety, I can make it clear to you, if there is a little accident with these things, the entire munitions depot will collapse to the sky, and at that time, you will lose your head."

"Rest assured, how dare I be careless about this thing, I have specially vacated a warehouse to store them, and the guards are also the strictest, and I will never dare to have any problems. Teachers. You took someone out today to practice this thing, is it powerful? Li Kaifu asked: "Speaking of which, looking at this gadget, I just heard that this thing is powerful, and I haven't seen the power of his explosion!" ”

Ye Feng glanced at him while looking at the official document, "Lao Li, didn't I just say that if he has an accident, your quartermaster depot will be collapsed." ”

Li Tianfu was taken aback, "I'm still joking!" ”

"Am I a joker?" Ye Feng smiled. Yang Yang raised an official document in his hand, "There will be a state-of-the-art weapon that will arrive at us soon, but it can't be taken out until wartime, and after you go down, immediately set aside a place for me at the division headquarters to build a house to store this thing." ”

"And what new weapon, more powerful than grenades. And a special house to put it? Li Kaifu's eyes widened.

"Of course." Ye Feng smiled, this is a kind of cannon that the Ordnance Research Institute has just set up, which is still a secret to the entire Han army. At present, only the navy is equipped, and the first equipment of the army is its own 88th Division, as the king's brother-in-law. Although the pressure is great, on the other hand, it is much cheaper. Every time the Ordnance Research Institute finalizes a new weapon, its own 88th Division will be the first to equip it. Like in their own troops, the Divine Crossbow has replaced the Arm Tension Crossbow, and the more exaggerated airborne crossbow is also equipped with two per company. So far, in addition to the action team of the National Security Bureau, only the 88th Division has been equipped.

This time, four cannons were transported, as well as eight gunners of the 88th Division attached to the cannons, and the fixed cannon had an amazing range, and on the river embankment on this side, one shot could hit the opposite Yingchuan County City. It seems that he is going to build a few forts by the Yingshui River, of course, it is only a fort, and now the cannon must not be installed.

If it's possible, his four cannons bombard together, and blast the opposite Tan Feng into the sky in one fell swoop, that's wonderful, but it's unlikely to think about it, this thing can hit a big target, if you want to engage in this kind of decapitation operation, you basically have to rely on Meng.

A few days ago, the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Department came to the news, and the opposite Tan Feng Department received a batch of gunpowder weapons, known as the thunder, which was packed in a porcelain bottle with gunpowder, and sent it along with the intelligence. The shell of your grenade is iron, and the patterns carved on the outside are not for the sake of beauty, after the explosion, along these patterns, the iron shell will explode into pieces, and the lethality is amazing. Even the power of gunpowder is not comparable to the thunder of the Qin people. I heard that the Ordnance Research Institute is now researching grenades that fire spontaneously, and it will be easier to operate.

No wonder Mao Wei was robbed at the beginning, and his brother-in-law was not in a hurry at all, they were all gunpowder, but the weapons made in the two countries were completely incomparable, and now they even have cannons, and the other party is completely in the dark. When the time comes, as soon as the two sides go to war, they will have a good look at each other.

Leaning back on the back of the chair, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes, imagining the scene when the cannon was fired, the Qin army had not seen the figure of the Han army, and it had already been blown up.

Hehehe! Ye Feng couldn't help laughing.

"Commander, what are you laughing at?" Li Kaifu, who was standing in front of him, watched the young division commander get up with a smirk, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Well, nothing, nothing, just want to laugh. By the way, Section Chief Li, the secrecy of this batch of new weapons is directly responsible for my personal team, and you just know about this matter. ”

"Yes."

Tuk tuk, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Ye Feng raised his voice.

A personal soldier walked in, "Division commander, the county magistrate sent someone to invite you, saying that there is something important to discuss, please move to the county office." ”

"Oh?" Ye Feng blinked, "I was about to look for him, but he invited me first, didn't he say anything?" ”

The soldier shook his head, "No, the envoy only said that County Magistrate Fang also invited General Yu Guang." ”

Ye Feng frowned, Yu Guang is the supreme commander of the Military Intelligence Department in Yingshui, since even Yu Guang has been invited, I am afraid that this matter is not small. (To be continued......)
