Chapter 57: The Tribes Embark on an Armed Expedition
Although this Wanna Princely State is known as a state, it is actually only a primitive tribal alliance composed of dozens of tribes in Borneo, and the power of each tribe is in the hands of the tribal chiefs, and they are only willing to obey the order because of the strong force of the Gunatir tribe, and the chiefs have no concept of Qingyan Village, which has never even heard of it, and as for why Qingyan Village angered the King of Wannatu, they don't know anything, and they are unwilling to contribute manpower and material resources to lose their strength.
But the cunning Gunatil had long expected this, and in the order conveyed to the indigenous soldiers, he said that the Qingyan Village contained the gold left by the Chinese people of the Lanfang Republic and Achaito, and that the gold and silver were covered with all the caves in the Qingyan Village.
When the chiefs of the tribes heard that there was gold and silver, their eyes glowed green, and they immediately mobilized, lest they take a step slower and the gold and silver were robbed by others.
It's just that at this time, the Wanna Princely State was far from establishing a real political ruling body, and the administrative efficiency was very low, and the chiefs wanted to grab gold and silver, which did not mean that the tribal members could be dispatched immediately.
The tribes were short of weapons, food, and even clothing, so many tribesmen had to wrap their bodies in bark and leaves.
Ten days passed, and the natives who had gathered in front of the palace of Gunatir were only about 20,000 people, less than half of what the high priest Rusd had predicted.
In the past twenty days, due to being bitten by a Chinese woman, it was a very difficult time for Gunatir. Not only could he not get close to women and be merry, but he was also in unbearable pain when he urinated or walked.
This place is a tropical jungle, the climate is very hot, the germs multiply rapidly, and these natives do not pay attention to personal hygiene, the medical conditions are very backward, without the help of the Chinese Langzhong, the so-called healing is just to use some unknown plant powder to apply the wound casually.
The wound did not heal for a long time, causing Gunatir's wound to become pus-ulcerated and rancid. Recently, the injured Gunatir has often been furious, killing his subordinates at every turn, and several indigenous women have been cut down by Gunatir to feed the dogs due to poor service, and the most trusted high priest Rusde does not dare to approach him casually.
Seeing that the tribes had finally gathered about 20,000 people, Gunatir couldn't wait to set off immediately to attack Qingyan Village. Seeing that he could not be dissuaded, he had to order his subordinates to make a tool similar to a sedan chair of the Chinese people, and carried Gunatir with 20,000 indigenous soldiers on the road to conquer Qingyan Village.
Since repelling the natives and returning to Qingyan Village, Hu Zhen ordered Su Wenzhen to immediately find out the enemy's situation, find out that this group of natives is the minions of the king of Wannatu, and preliminarily find out the strength of the Wanna Tubang.
The news released by the high priest of the Vana Princely State, Rust, made the Huaxia Army quickly grasp the news that the Vana Princely State army was going to attack on a large scale.
To this end, Hu Zhen convened a military meeting.
At the military meeting, the participants unanimously decided that the king of Wannatu would inevitably retaliate, but they did not expect that the king of Wannatu would be in such a hurry, and hurried before all his forces arrived.
At this time, Qingyan Village has gathered tens of thousands of Chinese people who fled from all over the world.
In the hellish area of Borneo, only these strong and agile people have the ability to resist and have a chance to survive, so most of them are young men who can participate in the battle.
After mobilization, all of these young and middle-aged Chinese were willing to join the Huaxia Army, and more than 3,000 young and middle-aged men were all incorporated into the Huaxia Army to participate in rigorous training using the infantry weapons and equipment manufactured by Hu Zhen in the nuclear submarine.
For the sake of command convenience, Hu Zhen expanded the four battalions into detachments, with more than 1,000 people in each detachment, and the original four battalion commanders served as the commanders of the detachments. The establishment of each detachment is completely in accordance with the military establishment model that was common in the world in later generations, and each detachment has three battalions under its jurisdiction, each battalion has three companies under its jurisdiction, and each platoon has three squads under its jurisdiction.
The vast majority of the backbone above the platoon level are those brought back from the German ** school, and the squad leaders are all veterans who started fighting pirates in Africa, except for some German ** students.
In order to prepare the backbone for the future expansion of the army, Hu Zhen ordered the establishment of a military academy with a battalion, personally served as the principal, and selected soldiers with good qualifications from the army and put them in the battalion military academy for training.
In addition, there are special combat teams, sniper teams, artillery teams, engineering teams, ordnance repair institutes, and medical teams.
With an eye to the future, the troops are fully organized and trained in accordance with regularization. Although the number of people is only 5,000, it has a complete range of categories, a complete organization, advanced and sophisticated equipment, and high morale.
Hu Zhen believes that in less than half a year, a strong army can be trained.
However, the natives would not give the Huaxia army much time to calmly train new soldiers, and the tribal soldiers of the Vana Princely State, under the command of the Tuwang Gunatir and the high priest Rusde, forced from several directions, encroaching on pieces of territory that originally belonged to Achai To, and compressing towards Qingyan Village step by step.
In order to gain time for the encroachment of the natives, in order to gain time for the training of new soldiers, the Huaxia army adopted a posture of avoiding war as much as possible, as soon as they found the tribal team, regardless of the number of opponents, they immediately retreated, and retreated without firing a shot.
The main force of the Huaxia army was concentrated in Qingyan Village, and no matter how the natives approached, they just trained hard with all their hearts.
When many warriors heard the news of the natives' approach, they approached their respective commanders to ask for battle, asking for an attack. In the end, Hu Zhen personally stepped forward to forcibly suppress it, ordering the soldiers to obey the order and train wholeheartedly.
After defeating Achai Tuo, Hu Zhen had a high prestige among the soldiers, and after he came forward, he stabilized the Huaxia army and focused on training.
The rigorous training lasted for more than 30 days, and due to the avoidance of the battle of the tribal forces of the Wanna Princely State, the territory of the entire Huaxia Army was finally left with a lonely Qingyan Village.
These days, the Huaxia army is guarding outside, thousands of Chinese men, women and children, crowded in Qingyan Village, everyone is terrified, no one dares to speak loudly, even children dare not play loudly, lest the aborigines immediately kill.
Fortunately, the Huaxia army and all the Huaxia people trusted Hu Zhen very much, believing that he must have a way to eliminate the tribal forces of the Wanna Princely State, and the people's hearts were stabilized.
Hu Zhen's face was still as usual, and he unhurriedly urged the training of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army.
On this day, a team of vana tribe armed forwards finally appeared in the sight of the Huaxia military guard post.
This group of natives, about 1,000 people, has more than 600 single-shot rifles and more than 400 flintlock rifles. This is one of the best fully armed firearms among the indigenous people.
