With the second batch of pre-delivery supplies on the road, and one after another battalions under various banners have converged near Linyi City, my days have become busy again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Batch after batch of newly produced firecrackers and explosive bombs, as well as newly minted large and small cannons, were sent to their hands for final test firing and testing.

And with the truckloads of materials that the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass, and with the transportation teams at the end of the long winding roads in various places, as well as the large piles of cattle driven from the nearby pastures, the mountains of compressed forage blocks gathered into the Yimeng Valley like a hundred rivers entering the sea.

All of a sudden, the two sides of the Yihe Valley can be described as the neighing of people and horses, and the noise of guns and cannons.

Although this dispatch is not something I want, the only benefit is that it is a legitimate opportunity to expand the army;

The reservists and reserve soldiers who were preferentially selected from the industrial and mining sites of Tunzhuang farms in various localities, together with those students who were currently in the army trainees in the joint school, were successively supplemented into those temporary battalions and regiments with only the basic structure, and carried out a short period of reorganization and running-in training. After serving as the main force, he took over the garrison of the local points and the garrison of the border defense line.

Of course, no matter how the situation changes,

In the most basic military structure in Huaidong, the most basic proportion of officers, non-commissioned officers and veterans must be mandatory as the backbone, and even in the third-rate garrison regiments, it is also mandatory to retain a certain proportion of disabled retired veterans; This kind of strict standard and bottom line is also the biggest constraint that has always restricted the Huaidong Army's rapid expansion.

This is because according to the daily state and cycle, through the step-by-step training of the rear and the training of the front-line battlefield, the qualified manpower required for the expansion is quite slow.

If the soldiers who meet the basic conditions alone, in Huaidong's current approximate population base and the industrial personnel base in industry, mining, agriculture, forestry, and fishery, they are actually not lacking at all, and they can even be more than enough to fight several major wars.

However, if the troops are formed entirely with new recruits, if they are confronted with and encountered an orderly or well-trained enemy, the morale and fighting spirit will be easily dragged down and shattered, and it will be a serious irresponsibility to give people heads and equipment.

Although they can be eliminated naturally by sending them to the brutal battlefield through a steady stream, they can also obtain qualified soldiers who have survived, and even experienced non-commissioned officers and officers;

However, this kind of army training method that the feudal towns in the troubled times used to use is too much of a waste of resources for the Huaidong system, which is accustomed to efficiency and refinement.

Obviously, they can use the precise and skillful battle formation of the queue to shoot to suppress and destroy the enemy in a dignified manner, so why bother to give up their own advantages and pull their IQ and quality to the level of the enemy's cheap cannon fodder, so as to fight the so-called chaotic war and wave war.

After all, according to the original ideals and goals; What I want is an elite warrior who can be retracted and put and advance and retreat freely, and can be fingered like an arm; Even if it loses a war, it will be able to retain its vitality with perseverance, and continue to learn from its lessons and have the potential for growth and development.

Of course, this ideal is only a small part of the realization at present.

In order to meet the needs of this war preparation and expansion, the gun and artillery factory in Huaidong also concentrated most of its production capacity, and instead produced a large number of "new" firearms for emergency use in 12 hours of non-stop overtime and rotations and shifts.

Of course, this batch of new firecrackers produced in a hurry belongs to the extremely simplified version of the standard firecrackers equipped in the army, and it is the culmination of the experience of absorbing and absorbing many export sales, cutting corners and shrinking low-grade versions of firearms, and pursuing the scale and quantity of special products;

In addition to the unified appearance and caliber of the standard, it is to greatly simplify the number of components and parts of the firecracker, greatly reduce the cost of materials and process difficulty, in order to pursue the maximum output and compress the cycle of mass production.

Therefore, in addition to the fact that the fittings and handguards are the cheapest outsourced goods, and the components are reduced to eleven as much as possible, even the most critical pipe material is made of high-wrought wrought iron instead of the existing mild steel hardened body tube; In order to withstand the normal standard of sub-drugs, the tube wall is also processed thicker, and the size of the accessories is slightly larger, which increases the overall weight a lot.

As a flintlock pistol, the only advantage of this is that it is simple and reliable enough to get started. Of course, this new firearm is not for the main battle troops in Huaidong, but to replace the miscellaneous three-eyed guns, firecrackers and other non-standard equipment in the hands of the garrison;

And these outdated and old things will be eliminated to the third-line garrison regiment and the patrol team of the industrial and mining sites to continue to use.

Anyway, I didn't expect them to be able to carry this newly equipped weapon and maneuver and fight long distances; As long as it can rely on the city walls and developed road traffic along the line in the daily residence state, it can meet the short-distance defensive operations of the inner line or the suppression of unexpected situations.

Of course, there are also a little discordant episodes.

A few days ago, when inspecting the rearmament and training of the local armed forces, Luo Hussar discovered several incidents of arms theft and sale in the garrison regiments.

However, in some garrison regiments in coastal areas, some people privately resold their weapons to merchants who came to Huaidong to do business, or ship owners anchored in nearby port cities;

Then he used a wooden stick of similar color to dye the city as a daily patrol equipment, but it was not noticed for a period of time.

Then, after the intervention of the Suppression Society, which was known as the lackey of the Zhenfu Prefecture, it was discovered that this was not a coincidence, but an organized group behavior in the corresponding context to privately buy these Huaidong firearms;

It's just that the firearms of the regular army order are numbered and registered under the head, so they have to turn to the second, from the third-line garrison regiment to pay attention to those obsolete equipment; At present, there are hundreds of old and variegated firearms that have slipped out.

As a result, Zhulian seized several foreign ship dealers and a newly established business, and confiscated thousands of goods and several ships, but all the clues pointed to Fuso.

Well, I don't know what kind of fun the Fuso clan is here to make this time. I couldn't figure it out, so I found the toy Ah Qi and tossed and tossed it with Ah Qiu's help.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

And south of Duqian Road, in the state administration city of Zhengzhou,

Fengjuanqi and Zhang Xian's subordinates also initially gained a firm foothold here, and established corresponding military houses, grain stations, medical camps, and repair stations, and sent troops to take over Yangqiao Town at the Yellow River crossing in the north, and arranged the corresponding outer defense line and warning area.

It's just that after years of attack, this waterway hub that doubles as a river trough near the capital has less than 50,000 people left; Moreover, the old and weak are still the mainstay, because the young and middle-aged people in the city were either coerced away by the Northern Dynasty when they were on the strong wall of Qingye, or they were further looted by the later Southern Army and used for pre-military labor.

The rest of the people can only rely on digging rats and birds, digging grass roots and peeling tree bark, and they are suffering or waiting to die.

Therefore, Zhang Xian decided to arm the Huaidong labor service on the spot, and then collected and compiled the scattered friendly troops stranded in the local area, a number of grain patrol teams and road guards left by the Henan Special Army, the wounded who were placed on the spot along the way, and the husband and service men who were requisitioned nearby, etc., and obtained about 6,000 available manpower and organized ten new battalions.

Based on this, the situation in the city was firmly controlled.

Therefore, under the circumstance that the ration was strictly rationed and it was still sufficient for several months, they also settled down and maintained the most basic conduct on the spot, while continuing to collect all kinds of news from the front through the channels left behind, and acting as a receiving and escorting force for the transit of material transportation in the rear, and carefully waiting for the main formation from Huaidong to join them.

However, at this time, the battlefield in the east sent them an unexpected news, the former military headquarters had just suffered a rare defeat.

At the same time, Su Yuanjing, the Xuanhui envoy of the Northern Courtyard, who was trying to save the situation, continued to fight hard in the rain north of Luodu, and finally waited for good news again.

After the stranded troops on the north bank were in a hurry, they finally came up with a solution that was not a solution; They risked using the 300 stone conveyor boat belonging to the Yellow River Sailor to approach and impact the gap in the southern section of the Heyang Bridge, and after capsizing and sinking four boats one after another, killing and injuring hundreds of people, they finally successfully stuck the fifth boat in the gap in the southern section of the Heyang Bridge.

Then, after temporary reinforcement and winding with various iron hoops and thick cables, and then nailing large wooden planks that are convenient for passage, the Hayang bridge deck finally temporarily restored its ability to pass.

Although it still can't carry slightly heavier chariots and horses, the lightly armed soldiers and civilians can cross the river for reinforcements first. This undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm again to the people under Su Yuanjing, who had been fighting hard for days and fell into fatigue.
