Jiangbei Gaoyou.

Just when everyone's eyes are on Suzhou, are there really no wars on other battlefields? That's impossible.

On the battlefield of Gaoyou, skirmishes between the Qing army and the Fu Han army were always occurring. Neither of them dared to send large troops to attack each other along the canal, but they still had the courage to send small troops to attack each other.

The Qing army took Baoying County as the starting point, and the advance base of the Fu Han army was in Ziyinggou, and the distance of dozens of miles in the middle was the battlefield where small forces on both sides rushed to kill and decide.

Not to mention that there are fights every day, it is necessary to see blood every three days.

Gaoyou, as the bridgehead of the Fu Han military department to defend the north of the Yangtze River, can be described as a military powerhouse, grain, ammunition, and even artillery, which are required a lot, and all the logistics supplies are transported to Gaoyou Prefecture by the Cao ship from Yangzhou through the canal. The frequent battles between the Qing army and the Fu Han army between Baoying and Ziyinggou were not purely for the sake of fighting, but to penetrate into the rear of the state city in Gaoyouzhou and attack the logistics fleet of the canal.

The person stationed in Gaoyou Prefecture was Lu Hu, and after coming out of the tank battalion, he sat in the position of battalion officer. Now the Fu Han army has deployed four battalions in Gaoyou Prefecture, after Chen Ming conquered Nanjing City, the Fu Han Army has organized two batches of new battalions before and after, of course, they will not be allowed to stay in Nanjing City in vain to eat and drink, Gaoyou Prefecture here are two old battalions plus two new battalions, plus artillery and logistics troops, as well as a reconnaissance team and a medical battalion, with a total strength of nearly 3,000 people.

The regular strength of the Fu Han Army, which was 10,000 when it first set out from Xiangyang, is now close to 40,000, and the brigade-level units have also grown from one teaching brigade to four brigades now. Jiujiang Chen Yongsheng's division was the first brigade, Anqing's Gaopingshan division was the second brigade, and Yangzhou's Huang Jie's division was the third brigade. In general, this army is still a traditional feudal army like a family business, and the people who hold their own important positions are all Chen relatives.

The integrated brigades of Chen Yongsheng, Gao Pingshan, and Huang Jie were much more powerful than the original brigade-level formation. The three brigades now have more than 5,000 troops, except for Huang Jie, the third brigade, which is under Chen Ming's nose, and it is impossible to expand the army on the spot -- all of them were allocated by Chen Ming to the third brigade for control, and the Jiujiang and Anqing departments have considerable autonomy in this regard.

Just like the rebel army in history, or the red army in the original time and space, if you release a hundred people and bring back a thousand people, the strength of the army has indeed increased, but the number of small hills in the army has also increased. There's no way around it. The problem that the red army couldn't solve, Chen Ming never expected that he could solve the small hill. As long as the team's combat effectiveness is still there, and the will to fight is still there, the hill will be a hill. Chen Ming would not rashly split up a combat-effective force.

The number of teaching brigades is even greater than that of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd brigades. Originally, the teaching brigade had two musket battalions, one artillery battalion, two armor battalions, tank battalions, and a gendarmerie unit, a reconnaissance team, and a medical team. Now the tank battalion has been singled out separately, but the number of troops under the command of the teaching brigade exceeds six thousand.

The formation of a cannon battalion remained the same, but the number of cannons was twice as large as it had been at the beginning; The two armoured barracks also remained the same, and the number of men remained the same, but in addition to the two armoured armoured armoured barracks, there were four unarmoured armoured armoured barracks, and there were six battalions of the single infantry team;

Two musket battalions, the formation also remained the same. There is no way, there is a shortage of muskets in the Fu Han army, even if there are captured Qing soldiers with shotguns as the base, and the arquebus is changed to flint, the speed is not so fast;

There was no tank battalion in the teaching brigade, but there was an extra cavalry battalion, but the number was smaller, and it did not exceed three hundred; This has already distressed Chen Kaishan, the leader of the cavalry battalion;

Then the gendarmerie, reconnaissance and medical brigades were converted into brigades, plus a logistics battalion and an engineer brigade, and the teaching brigade was a large formation.

After deducting these four brigade-level formations, the remaining 10,000 or 20,000 people are a huge logistics unit and a battalion of naval divisions, a greatly increased number of artillery units, plus a small number of old battalions and a large number of new battalions. The latter is composed of captive soldiers and recruits, and it is difficult to say whether the fighting will has improved compared to the Qing soldiers, and the armament is still at the original level, so the combat effectiveness is not much stronger than the same number of Qing soldiers.

For the Fuhan army of these new battalions, flintlock pistols can't take their turn, and iron armor can't turn for them, all they can count on is small cannons [battalion firepower] and grenades. In order to train these recruits, Lu Hu frequently sent them out to fight with the Qing soldiers, in the open field north of Ziyinggou. Lu Hu is a very brave person, otherwise he would not have sat in the deputy of the tank battalion, that position is not a big and strong person can sit on, and he has to dare to work hard. Lu Hu firmly believed that no matter how intimidating the soldiers were, they could be three points stronger in a battle.

……

Ziyinggou in the camp of the Han army.

A man in his thirties with a lot of wrinkles on his face grabbed the sleeve of the head of the logistics department and refused to let go. This man had been wrestling with the head of the logistics department for almost a quarter of an hour, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, not for anything else, but to ask for a few more boxes of grenades.

Grenades are good. Even the arquebus grenade that is least popular with the soldiers in the army is a treasure. The wheel is round and thrown out, and whoever sees it within a distance of twenty or thirty meters hides.

Even if the grenades of the Fu Han Army are very characteristic of the original time and space red base area, the power of the explosion is not comparable to the ripe 'little melon' during World War II, and the killing effect of the shrapnel is extremely bad, and there are fire extinguishing from time to time. But then again, for the Fuhan army in Gaoyou Prefecture, even this kind of grenade cannot be opened to supply troops now.

The Fu Han army needs more iron to make cannons and cannons, and the weight of a cast iron projectile of a grenade is not large, but what about 10,000 grenades? What about 100,000 grenades? The entire Fu Han army has 30,000 or 40,000 horses, and more than 100,000 grenades are consumed in each battle.

Therefore, after leaving the base area, the number of grenades in the expeditionary force is always limited.

This middle-aged man in his thirties surnamed Zeng, was originally a servant of Lushan, and was first arrested when he was copying the soil and collecting Chen's hometown, and then he was the first to take refuge in the Chen family. At the age of thirty-five or sixteen, this person's personality has been stereotyped early, and he is very slippery, is he born in a servant, how can he not slip his head? So I am only a team officer until now, and I am still a team officer in the new barracks.

Duan Guorui, the director of the logistics department, is an old acquaintance of Zeng Ming, and he is also a native of Lushan, and he is one of those white servants who ate with Chen Huimen at the beginning. Duan Guorui's ability is not as good as Zheng Hongyu and Wei Xiuzhi, who were the right-hand men under Chen Hui back then, and he is only one of the three battalion deputies of the logistics battalion of the Third Brigade now.

As the forward position of the confrontation between the Fu Han army and the Qing army, it was necessary to set up a logistics station here, and Duan Guorui was sent to take charge of everything at this station.

"I said Lao Zeng, are you still not a soldier? Changed his career to become a bandit, right? I've already given you five more boxes of grenades, so what's more? Don't be too greedy, I'll tell you. ”

"Old Duan, if this person can catch a little more, he has to catch a little more. What is my relationship with you, how many people are lucky enough to meet in this place? Of course, you have to work hard to catch more. If someone else stood in your position and could give me five more boxes of grenades, I would have thanked God with joy, and I would have turned around and left. Because it doesn't matter. Zeng Ming looked like a scoundrel, patting Duan Guorui's shoulder and looking like a good brother. Isn't this your old Duan in this position, with your relationship, I can get five more boxes of grenades just like the fox who stole the old hen, just run away? I'm sure I'm going to get some more. ”

"Brother, it's a fatal deal to get out of Ziyinggou, a few more boxes of grenades, your brother's life may be saved. If you say anything, you have to give me a few more boxes, or I won't leave this time. You will control me to eat and drink, and sleep to me. ”

Duan Guorui looked at Zeng Ming with a hey face, and his mouth said, "With your skinny face, if you can't change this problem, the army will kick you out sooner or later." I'll give you another fifteen boxes of grenades, but let's say okay, I won't admit it when we get out of this door. And you're going to get me a good knife. ”

Duan Guorui doesn't look at the logistics work, but he likes swords and horses very much, and the sword is fast. He has collected many good knives, and there is a good horse in Yangzhou, the logistics troops, the entire Fuhan army is the soldiers of the cavalry battalion are short of horses, and the high-level of the logistics troops will not lack horses. But he still didn't have enough!

Zeng Ming is just a team officer, and it is difficult to ask him for a good horse. But ask him for a good knife, no problem at all.

Sure enough, Zeng Ming patted his chest and promised: "No problem." I'm going to get you a good knife. ”

Fifteen boxes of grenades is seven hundred and fifty grenades, plus the previous five boxes, Zeng Ming's team has a total of 100 people, and now there are ten more grenades per capita, plus the original five boxes, and the bottom of them, fifteen grenades per capita, that is, in the face of a battalion head of the Qing army, he can not be timid at all.

And in the early morning of the next day, when Zeng Ming's team walked out of the camp with high momentum and infiltrated in the direction of Baoying, a Jilin horse team that the Fu Han army said they didn't know also hit the south gate of Baoying City and rushed towards Gaoyouzhou.

At this moment, the governor of Qing Caoyun sitting in Huai'an is no longer Gao Jin, the brother of Gao Jia, the first imperial concubine of the Qianlong Dynasty, has been deprived of all official positions by Qianlong, and he has returned to Beijing to think about it behind closed doors. The position of governor of Caoyun was assumed by Li Shiyao.

And who is this Li Shiyao? He is the fourth grandson of the great traitor Li Yongfang, and a man with the yellow flag of the Han army.

In the 21st year of Qianlong, he was the acting governor of Liangguang, and in the 24th year of Qianlong, he was actually awarded the governor of Liangguang, and in the 26th year of Qianlong, he was recalled to Beijing and awarded the title of the head of the household department and the commander of the Han army. In the 28th year of Qianlong, he was awarded the governor of Huguang. The following year, Li Shuyao was reappointed as the governor of Liangguang. Because Li Xingyuan, the chief soldier of Youjiang Town, was convicted of corruption, Li Xingyuan was recommended by Li Shuyao, and Li Shuyao, who was implicated, returned to Beijing to act as the secretary of the Ministry of Science and Engineering. In the 31st year of Qianlong, he was transferred to the Criminal Department. In the thirty-second year of Qianlong, he returned to the post of governor of Liangguang and attacked the second-class Zhao Xinbo. In the thirty-third year, he was transferred back to Beijing City, and was awarded the rank of Scholar of Wuyingdian University, and he was about to join the Military Aircraft Department.

-- Ali Gon was officially stripped of the title of Minister of Military Aircraft, and Fu Longan learned to walk at the Military Aircraft Department with the title of Heshuo and the Book of War. In April, the Ministry of Transfer, Shangshu, officially took the position of Aligon. But immediately after Yin Jishan took the post of governor of Liangjiang, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan military, Ah Gui is also very likely to replace Aligon, and a position will be vacated in the military aircraft department. But now it's absolutely impossible.

Soreen walks around the military aircraft with the attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

After Li Shuyao arrived in Huai'an, he immediately asked Beijing to send a horse team south to Huai'an. Because Li Shuyao felt that it was not easy to infiltrate the back of Gaoyouzhou City with an infantry team to cut off the canal, but the horse team could. With the speed of the horse team, they can even bypass Sheyang Lake in the east, and after inserting Gaoyou Prefecture from the east side, they don't have to take the empty space between Gaoyou Lake and Sheyang Lake.
