Chapter 336: A bowl of water is flat

"After this battle, your machine gun battalion will be rebuilt, you will draw some backbones, recruit some strong men, and set up a new heavy artillery battalion, an engineering battalion, and a car battalion, and form a special task force with four battalions under its jurisdiction, how about it?"

"Huh? Car...... Battalion? Happiness came too suddenly, Duan Zhenghong was stunned.

"Right...... If nothing else, we will cross the Yellow River in the second half of the year at the latest."

Lin Xiao groaned, "I've thought about it, when I get to the Great Plain of North China, all the way to the vast Mongolian steppe, there will be a place for bulky cannons and automobiles...... Those large-caliber howitzers in the inventory on Baisha Island, as well as those few Humvees, should also be pulled out and slipped......"

“……？”

Looking at Duan Zhenghong, who was stunned, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and poked his forehead, and said loudly: "How is it, do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes!"

Duan Zhenghong came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

At this point, he finally reacted, it turned out that the captain was going to use the heavy equipment at the bottom of the ballast to build a mixed regiment directly under him, in order to prepare for the future war in the north.

Duan Zhenghong's face was flushed, and he was so happy in his heart, don't mention it......

"Don't rush to assure you first, and don't rejoice too soon, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility,"

Lin Xiao raised his hand and returned the salute, and said with a straight face, "Since it is a special task force, each battalion is different, and the army building goals, combat methods, and even training methods are completely different, and the time to really test your level has come ......."

"If nothing else, the training of heavy artillery is a new challenge, and the soldiers must at least be able to understand the shooting table, so it is better to recruit literate people who have read for at least a few days...... If you really have a problem, tell me that I can send you a few from other troops. ”

"Understood, Captain!"

"The specific work is very complicated, you have to use your brain more, tomorrow I will first find a suitable place for closed training, and then come back to recruit people,"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Also, the engineering battalion is also very important, I wonder if I can try to build a cement road between Guangzhou and Humen during the training period...... In this way, the supply of supplies to the garrison of the battery was greatly facilitated. ”

"Yes!"

Duan Zhenghong's face was full of joy, and he added with a smile, "Once something happens, the mobility of the troops has also been greatly accelerated. ”

He was well aware that the training of an engineering battalion was much simpler than the construction of a heavy artillery battalion.

For the engineering troops, it is not difficult to open mountains, fill ditches, and build roads, and even have a certain transportation capacity, and the most difficult is the bridge project.

After all, the Pearl River basin in front of us, as well as the Jiangnan region where we will go in the future, are all water network areas that crisscross rivers.

His task was to teach the soldiers as soon as possible how to build a modern prefabricated road bridge that would allow cars and cannons weighing several tons to pass.

Fortunately, the supply of cement is very sufficient, and Lao Zhou is worried that there is no place to stack the cement in stock.

When the steel mill is on the right track, the steel is not a big problem.

"As for the automobile battalion, you can train a group of drivers first, teach them to drive first, and then go to various complex terrains to try their skills,"

Duan Zhenghong had already wandered into the world, but Lin Xiao was still whispering in his ear, "In terms of auto repair personnel, I will entrust Sun Lei to find a way to train you." ”

……

"Captain! You...... You're too biased, aren't you? ”

Unexpectedly, Xia Bomin on the side wailed.

Immediately, this kid gritted his teeth and glared at Duan Zhenghong and shouted, "Okay, you cannon...... All the good things are for you to occupy! ”

"Hey, hey!"

Duan Zhenghong scratched his head, smiled and said, "Don't say that, you are all major generals and division commanders, and you are still thinking about my small regiment commander?" ”

"Captain......

Xia Bomin's face was loveless, and he said angrily, "What about Zhang Chenfeng, isn't he still the battalion commander?" ”

"Haha, you kid! Sowing discord? ”

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at him, and said with a smile, "Everyone is a brother, I have to have a bowl of water, and I can't wronged anyone......"

"Chen Feng has also been at the headquarters, I naturally have considerations, I plan to upgrade the reconnaissance battalion to a cavalry regiment directly under the headquarters, and after crossing the river, the role of the cavalry will be very ......"

"But to be honest, among the few of you, the most aggrieved is neither the cannon nor Chen Feng, but the ......"

"Which one?"

Duan Zhenghong blurted out and asked, he always thought that he was the one who was the most uneasy and didn't dare to let go of the captain.

"Who else, Li Hanzhibai......"

Lin Xiao glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Speaking of conscience, where is the ability of others worse than yours, but they have been working diligently, delivering you a steady stream of ammunition and materials, and they are about to become your nanny......

Xia Bomin and Duan Zhenghong both nodded and did not speak.

Indeed, in their eyes, this old brother is the most depressed, since returning to China, he has not caught a single battle, and has been guarding the base.

"So, don't fight, I plan to let Yu Cheng return to Qinzhou, hand over Qinzhou to him and Mo Yuanwei, and let Li Hanzhi come to Hong Kong to be specifically responsible for the construction of the military port and fleet......"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao sighed, and his voice was obviously lowered, "The fleet was originally Lao Chen's ......."

As soon as Lin Xiao mentioned Lao Chen, the two heartless men were also silent.

This incident is an eternal pain in everyone's hearts, until now, the remains of Lao Chen and his ten seafarers are still kept in the cold storage of the "Longsheng", and they have not yet been buried.

Originally, Lin Xiao was going to avenge them before being buried.

Now it seems that there will be some time to recover Taiwan, so Lin Xiao plans to bury them on Hong Kong Island after the "Longsheng" returns from Qiongzhou.

"That's right, Bomin,"

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressing, Lin Xiao diverted the topic, "You prepare, arrange an independent battalion, and take all the prisoners to Shaozhou...... There are several coal mines and iron ore mines in England and Germany, and I want to expand the scale of mining as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

"Then, then, you should start thinking about going east......"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao said slowly, "At present, the three battalions that have entered the Chaoshan area will not have much of a problem in clearing out the remnants of the enemy, but if the Qing army in southern Fujian comes to attack, the strength will be a little thin......"

"Okay, when the main force arrives, I will immediately arrange for a battalion to move eastward."

"Well, you can have one or two separate battalions...... After the two armies meet, they can divide their troops into two routes, one to attack Tingzhou Mansion in Beishan, and the other to enter Zhangzhou directly, seeking an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army in southern Fujian, and if there is a chance, seek to join forces with Zheng Chenggong's troops in Quanzhou......"

Lin Xiao muttered, "At that time, I will lead a fleet from the sea to Zhongzuo (now Xiamen, author's note), and meet Zheng Chenggong with Qu Gelao." ”

"Understood!"

"Your second battalion is too scattered, so for the time being, you will stay in Guangdong to suppress bandits and settle the people, and at the same time be responsible for escorting grain and grass to the front line, if the road is not good, I will also arrange to escort a batch from the sea."

"Okay, so it's not a big problem, the mountain roads in eastern Guangdong ...... It's really not easy to walk,"

Xia Bomin nodded, and said thoughtfully, "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and this battle, along the way, will also consider disaster relief, and a large amount of grain, grass and money will be needed......"

"By the way, you, hurry up and find Situ Zheng to ask for someone, bring the machine gun platoon, and rush to the river immediately."

Hearing Xia Bomin talk about money, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered something and said to Duan Zhenghong who was standing aside.

"What's wrong?" Duan Zhenghong was stunned.

Thank you: "Red and Blazing Trance" and "Quasi-Quasi" rewards! Thank you, little master!
