Regarding Cheng Hongbin's request, Lin Ziran said: "Brother Cheng's entrustment, how can the younger brother not obey, rest assured, I will immediately send someone to prepare for this matter!" ”

Anyway, the expenses needed to purchase fruits, vegetables, and meat were all solved by the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment itself, and he Lin Ziran just sent someone to help lead the way to the nearby town, and even got another hard fee, how could he refuse such a good thing.

But not to mention, without the help of Lin Ziran, the head snake, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment would not have been able to get so many fruits, vegetables, and meat in a short period of time, even if it was rich.

This is the amount of supply for thousands of people, and it is not the amount of just one meal, and the supply of such a huge number is not something that can be done with money.

It was Lin Ziran's help that allowed the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to purchase enough materials in just one day.

Because these materials were pulled directly from the canteen warehouse of Tsingshan Petroleum Company.

Tsingshan Petroleum Company's canteen warehouse needs to supply food for hundreds of employees, and incidentally help to purchase supplies for the Tsingshan Patrol Battalion, so they have long established a complete food supply channel, and will purchase a large number of various services from many sources every day.

Even set up its own pig farm, chicken and duck factory, etc., the reserve of materials is quite rich!

In this Qingshan Town, only in the material warehouse in the oil field area can so many supplies be directly pulled away.

Without the material warehouse in the oil field area, they would have to search all over the world, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to find so many materials.

After the supplies were replenished, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment went north again with a large number of people, and Lin Ziran personally led the main force to escort it north this time.

This kind of heavy artillery unit moves slowly, and this way north is equivalent to a bright light in the night sky, enough to illuminate the eyes of the Guang'an rebels, as long as the generals of the Guang'an rebels are not stupid, they will not let go of the opportunity to attack this heavy artillery unit.

Because once this heavy artillery unit arrives at the front line, dozens of heavy artillery pieces will give the Third Division a huge tactical advantage, so killing this heavy artillery unit on the road has become the best choice for the Guang'an Army.

In order to ensure the safety of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment going north, the top level of the Luo An Army also made proper arrangements, and Jian Liangzhi personally led the temporary brigade of the Third Division to meet and escort them.

Although the provisional brigade of the 3rd Division was a temporary formation, it was set up by the Chongguangcheng front line to transfer other units specifically to maintain the rear logistics line, and it had two cavalry regiments and one infantry regiment under its jurisdiction, and it was also heard that an artillery battalion had been added later.

As for Lin Ziran's Qingshan Patrol Battalion, it is to play a dozen soy sauces in this section of Qingshan Town's own safety zone!

Although it is only soy sauce, Lin Ziran still attaches great importance to it.

There is a clear order from the outside for external reasons, that is, let him protect the northward movement of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment and ensure that there can be no accidents in the territory of Qingshan Town.

When the time comes, the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment will be delayed and even suffer unnecessary losses.

The internal reason is that Lin Ziran also wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the main force going north this time to practice the troops' long-distance training ability in the new tactical system.

The march and encampment may seem ordinary, but it is actually very important, and it is impossible to make progress in this kind of thing by training in the camp alone, and it is necessary to carry out actual marching training.

Previously, the Qingshan Patrol Battalion took advantage of the opportunity to escort the baggage northward many times to conduct many long-distance marches and training for the troops.

It's just that most of the time before, for example, the first two times the troops sent out were relatively small, and only one infantry company was sent with appropriate cavalry artillery and other troops to form a reinforced company.

And this time, because the transport team was too large, and the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment was so urgent, even if it was just to provide them with the troops needed for regular perimeter vigilance, patrol, and protection, they couldn't get down without a few hundred men.

That's why Lin Ziran will personally take the main force of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion to the north!

And this time when he went north, Lin Ziran also brought two light infantry companies, which could play a greater role in this kind of escort mission.

Because the task of this light infantry company is relatively flexible, it can act as the vanguard of the troops, and can also be sent out to patrol the periphery to guard and guard, and can also use the terrain to slow down the enemy's offensive pace when encountering enemy attacks.

In addition to the two light infantry companies, there was a reinforced line infantry company with four platoons, and then dozens of cavalry and two artillery pieces.

The total strength of the northbound army this time was about 600 people, and the other 600 people under Lin Ziran's command stayed in Qingshan Town to take care of their families, but a considerable number of them were front-line fighters such as baggage, and their combat effectiveness was relatively weak.

However, the distance that Lin Ziran led the team north this time will not be too far, at most about ten kilometers, and if you march normally, you can arrive in half a day at most, and even make a round trip on the same day.

Even if it is expected that it will take several days to go north this time, this is purely because the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment itself is marching too slowly, and in such hilly terrain, even if the roads are relatively good, they can only advance five or six kilometers a day at most, and if the roads are not good, sometimes they can't even walk a few kilometers a day.

Those heavy artillery pieces weighing several tons or even seven or eight tons were very troublesome to march even on the plains, let alone in the hilly areas north of Qingshan Town.

It was not easy to go over the mountains with these heavy guns.

This is also the reason why Lin Ziran felt that the upper echelons of Luo Anjun were crazy at the beginning.

It's just that now he also knows that there is no way for the Luo An Army, the Luo River in the north is blocked by the ironclad gunboats of the Guang'an Army, and the plain along the coast is blocked by the cavalry of the people.

On weekdays, the lighter materials are fine, and relying on the cover of the troops, the speed can also ensure safety.

However, the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment was a slow-moving force, even if the enemy did not attack, it was as slow as a turtle, and once it appeared in the Luohe Plain, the Guang'an rebels had plenty of time to draw troops to encircle and suppress.

It's hell to be able to break through and reach the front line of Chongguang Castle.

Therefore, although Lin Ziran is expected to lead the team north for several days, it is actually still very close to Qingshan Town.

If there is any accident, it will not take a few hours to kill it back.

This is also the reason why Lin Ziran is relieved to take the main force north, otherwise he really doesn't worry about the safety of his hometown in Qingshan Town.

The next trip was indeed the same as Lin Ziran expected, they set off at seven o'clock in the morning on the day of departure, but Lin Ziran and Cheng Hongbin actually stayed in Qingshan Town that night.

A day passed, and the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment was still tossing and turning thousands of meters outside the city, just to cross a small river north of Qingshan Town, and it took them half a day.

What's the hurry!
