Chapter 197: Mobilization to Suppress Bandits

The distance from Dongfang Port to Wu'an Village is fifteen kilometers, and it takes about five hours according to the speed of three to four kilometers per hour in the infantry drill for the ordinary marching speed, and if it is based on the rapid marching speed of five to seven kilometers per hour, it is certainly much faster, but Liu Lihua is a little worried that he will not be able to keep up, and then he began to regret why he has to wear boots and a heavy M35 helmet in this tropics. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Library] Now that the sun has just risen, he has already sunburned his helmet and started to heat up, not to mention the high boots that wrap his calves, "Isn't this looking for guilt?" Liu Lihua muttered in a low voice as he strode on the left side of the line.

The soldiers carried rifles on their right shoulders, and the hammers of the rifles were wide open, and it was clear that they were not loaded. Every soldier is wearing a slightly wrinkled dark blue uniform, no way, the shrinkage of cotton clothes is unavoidable, and there are not so many irons to iron in this time and space, so these new uniforms are basically starting to wrinkle a little. The original white bands were also cleaned by a lack of detergent or soap, and the sweat stains on them had begun to dye them creamy yellow. The soldiers are now wearing high-waisted boots with wooden canvas, which have good air permeability, and the movable wooden bottom can provide a certain protective effect, but the durability is not very good, and the phenomenon of breaking often occurs, and it is possible to puncture the soles of the feet if they encounter bad luck, but fortunately, this kind of accident rarely happens.

The problem of military uniforms and military boots has always been a headache for the equipment department of the Senate, and the army was equipped with liberation shoes according to the idea before the crossing, but it was found that the rubber used for liberation shoes did not exist in Annan in this time and space, and artificial rubber did not know that it would not be produced until the year of the monkey. Therefore, for the time being, this kind of canvas combat boots can only be produced purely to solve the problem of whether there is a problem to equip the troops, but because most of these soldiers in this time and space have hardly worn shoes before joining the army, they actually regard this as a great favor of the Senate, and they are even reluctant to wear them when training and fighting, and run around barefoot. In the end, the Ministry of Armament had to use the inadequacy of collecting canvas combat boots as an excuse to make them mandatory for all servicemen, in order to collect the deficiencies in the design of the boots and improve them.

The soldiers are now singing the three major disciplines and eight attention songs, and they are marching forward in unison, so that everyone along the way can't help but stop and watch. Some of the peddlers saw that the army was marching west, and hurriedly quickened their pace to follow. You must know that out of Dongfang Port is the world of bandits, and now following the army of the people behind, the bandits will definitely not dare to do it, and they are equivalent to having bodyguards.

Liu Lihua, who was following the team, actually saw it in his eyes, and he was very satisfied with the effect, and the Senate's plan to suppress bandits had been sent to his desk. According to the plan to suppress the bandits, Yuan Zhenli will use a drone to take aerial photographs of the hills and forests within 10 kilometers of the vicinity in the next few days, first looking for traces of human life, and then sending several detachments of the special investigation team to reconnoiter the places where the bandits are suspected of camping. These two things will be completed in 15 days, and at the same time, the army's two reinforced companies and his ordinary company will be trained in targeted jungle warfare, and by the beginning of the 16th day, that is, on 5 February, the army's three companies will begin to carry out the work of suppressing bandits.

In order to cope with the possibility that most of the battles that arise in jungle warfare will be fought within a range of fifty meters, the Type 1628 rifle has also undergone a small improvement, adding a feeder under the magazine, which can be used to feed bullets into the magazine. Five standard 12mm cartridges can be held in one feeder. These rifle cartridges, which were intended for use in jungle warfare, were also improved, using hollow cast iron bullets, filled with lead, which would make the cast iron bullets irregular in shape after firing, and although the accuracy of this bullet at a distance of 100 meters was simply outrageous, it could achieve the effect of a dummmy bullet within 100 meters, and it could be scrapped almost anywhere it hit.

The bullet is inhumane, but it is a great irony for these bandits, who robbed thousands of merchants and killed hundreds of them in just two months. So the Senate made a resolution declaring the bandits terrorists. And in the face of these senate terrorists, it is no negotiation, no compromise, no pardon, and bloody war to the end. At first, some of the elders complained about the army's use of such lethal bullets to suppress bandits, but after the Executive Committee presented the written, photographical, and video materials collected by the security department and the army in recent years of the bandits wantonly plundering and massacring businessmen and looting property, they all said that it was extremely necessary to use this kind of Oriental Port dummy ammunition for these bandits who had no humanity at all.

"Everyone must be conscious of abiding by discipline, and they must not violate each other's supervision, the rules and regulations of the Senate must be clearly remembered, the people's fighters love the people everywhere, defend the motherland and always move forward, and the people of the whole country support and welcome it!" After the song was sung, the third company had already come to the border of the senate-controlled area, and the sign "You have entered the jurisdiction of the senate" was suddenly erected there, and a large wooden sign was erected behind the sign, which read, "Anyun County, ten kilometers away." ”

Liu Lihua remembered that this was the place where Tan Lian and them were attacked last time, and these bandits didn't care who the attacked person was, as long as they felt that the other party was weak, they dared to bully the weak and trample on the lives of others. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the nearby mountains and forests, from here, the terrain has begun to rise and fall greatly, and the nearby mountains and dense forests provide excellent shelter conditions for the bandits hiding in them, and now there are probably many pairs of eyes secretly looking at him in that dense forest.

"Stand!" He shouted the command, and the soldiers responded to it with neat steps. The vendors behind the team couldn't help but sigh for a while, "Alas...... The military masters are not leaving......"

"Alas...... How can I go back? I've brought so much with me! ”

"That's it, how much is this delay for a day? If you let the thieves rob it, it's over! ”

"Folks!" Liu Lihua walked up to the group of disappointed vendors with a smile on his face, "We will send everyone to Anyun County, but before that, I want to ask you something." ”

"Ahh Thank you so much! A middle-aged man who looked to be at least forty years old almost jumped up excitedly, took three steps and made two steps and rushed to Liu Lihua to kneel.

Liu Lihua's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly grabbed him, "Don't, don't!" Our Senate doesn't like this! He suddenly remembered that if this scene was filmed by reporters from the old time and space, he might be crowned with headlines such as "the imperial army oppresses the people" and posted on the Internet, followed by an uproar attacking him, and couldn't help but laugh twice, "Fortunately, the information is not developed." ”

"Assemble! Talk in formation! According to the order, under the leadership of the non-commissioned officers, the soldiers stood in a semicircle on the side of the road, surrounding the bewildered middle-aged man and Liu Lihua in the middle.

"Friend, have you ever seen a bandit?" Liu Lihua asked straight to the point.

"Why haven't you seen it?" The middle-aged man nodded again and again, "The bandits have made us miserable!" Which of the nine villages and eighteen villages in this Anyun land boundary is not enclosed by a thick wall? That's it, there are also bandits and bandits who mix into the village and take advantage of the chaos to open the door and break the village. Just said that in the third year of the Apocalypse, Sun Changfu's stockade was broken by bandits in this way, these beasts...... rushed in and harmed all the young women of the Sun family, and more than 30 women of the Sun family and more than 80 women in the village committed suicide for this matter...... The little girl of the poor Sun family is only eight years old...... You can do it anyway. ”

Later, they took Sun Changfu and his father away, and asked the Sun family to take 50,000 taels of silver to ransom people. These thieves didn't go to ask a doctor or anything, they only knew that they went to Sun's Zhuangzi every day to urge money, cut off an ear today, and bring a finger tomorrow. When the Sun family finally got together the money, they came back and saw that the old man had died a long time ago, and these thieves cut a knife on the corpse of Mr. Sun every day and brought it over to force the money......"

"It's so inhuman!" Liu Lihua deliberately roared loudly, scaring the unsuspecting middle-aged man, and when he saw that he was not talking about himself, he continued to speak. "When you didn't come, it was a wasteland and woods, there were no people, and basically bandits and bandits didn't come. It's just that the gentlemen came here and built this city, and the hawkers came diligently, which attracted these bandits. Yesterday when we came over, there were more than 50 vendors, all of whom had brought farm tools and other things, but a few vendors pushing carts fell behind, and they were caught by the bandits, and I don't know what the situation was. ”

"What else? When we came here yesterday afternoon, there were four or five smashed carts on the side of the road, and there were eight dead people lying next to them, not to mention how miserable it was. Someone in the back of the crowd spoke, "The worst one was split in half diagonally from his waist, and each person's ten fingers were gone, and their tongues and ears were cut off. ”

Liu Lihua quietly glanced at the soldiers, and he could definitely see that this group of soldiers looked indignant, so he deliberately asked, "Why doesn't the government care about this bandit?" ”

"Official?" The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Why haven't we looked for the government for this matter?" ”

"That is, we have been looking for a lot, and the government always pushes that the matter of suppressing bandits depends on military households, so let's go to the Qianhu Office in the west of the city."

"That's right, we have also been to the Qianhu Institute many times, and every time Ruan Qianhu either said that the training of the soldiers was insufficient, or the armament was insufficient, or that they had not been paid for several months or something, and asked us to donate food and salary."

The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, we have donated six times before and after, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in accumulation, and in the past few years, the house of Ruan Qianhu's family has become bigger and bigger, and the clothes are more and more beautiful, and the matter of suppressing bandits has been deduced from insufficient training, from the third year of the Apocalypse to the sixth year of the Apocalypse." In the past few years since Lord Zhou took office, he has also launched several times to suppress bandits, but with little success, and few nobodies have been caught. Later, Mr. Liu Mingyuan had the foresight to directly attract a few large families to organize the people in their own villages, but he also deterred these bandits until ......"

Liu Lihua was stunned, how could he say that he was so energetic? "Until what?"

The middle-aged man's face was a little embarrassed, and he squirmed and refused to speak, but someone in the crowd said, "Until the Senate comes......"

"What does this have to do with the Senate?" Liu Lihua was stunned again.

"When the patriarchs first came, they were called thieves." A non-commissioned officer came up and whispered in Liu Lihua's ear, "The townsmen of Liujiazhai suffered heavy casualties when they attacked Dongfang Port, and now they don't have much strength to fight bandits. ”

"I'll ......," Liu Lihua couldn't help but twitch on his face. Comrades! He hurriedly straightened his expression and asked loudly to the soldiers in front of him, "What kind of army are we?" ”

"The Senate and the People's Army!" The soldiers replied in unison.

"And what are we going to be loyal to and defend?"

"The Senate and the people!"

"So are these people of the Wu Dynasty the people?"

Liu Lihua's question directly stuttered the soldiers below, and the voice stopped abruptly here, and it was a little weird for a while. The people of the Wu Dynasty behind him were also depressed one by one, but they expelled the Senate as a thief at the beginning, if they hadn't won, it is estimated that Dongfang Port would have been slaughtered long ago. It is already a commendable thing that the senators do not pursue this matter, and also treat An Yun's people fairly, and still expect the Senate to treat themselves as the people? Not to mention what the people are? These people have never heard of this word at all.

"Of course they are our people!" Liu Lihua said loudly, "Any toiling masses who have their hearts on us are our people, as long as they are willing to work hard for the growth of the Senate, they are also our people!" It doesn't matter if they have our nationality or not. ”

Now the eyes of the soldiers and civilians are shining. You must know that these soldiers are basically Anyun locals, and they are inextricably linked with the people in front of them who have not been able to join the ranks of the naturalized people.

"Then when our brothers and sisters, fathers and villagers are being abused by bandits," Liu Lihua suddenly remembered that these soldiers with a low level of education probably didn't understand what abuse meant, and hurriedly changed his words, "When they are oppressed and mutilated by bandits, what should we do?" ”

Most of the soldiers were afraid to say anything, and one soldier asked weakly. "Kill bandits?"

"That's right!" Liu Lihua was very satisfied with the soldier's answer, and said loudly: "Anyone who is an enemy of the Senate and the people is our common enemy, and we are inseparable from the bandits!" ”
