The people in Dujiazhai didn't argue for long before agreeing to Wang Mo, and the reason was very simple, because they had no choice at all.

The severity of the bandits in the Yimeng Mountains is not a day or two, even if Dujiazhai is lucky enough to avoid Guo Datou and the red rattail, sooner or later Li Datou and the blue rattail will covet them again. If you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, you can't stand in the Yimeng Mountains at all.

"Wang Mo, can you tell me, who are you? Also, what do you mean when you say that we will be your soldiers and will go with you into battle? Du Fei approached Wang Mo alone and asked, he didn't understand what Wang Mo was going to do, and he was always a little uneasy.

Looking at the continuous peaks and cascading mountains in the distance, Wang Mo said slowly: "Once my identity is exposed, it will only cause big trouble to Dujiazhai, so don't ask for the bottom for the time being." As for why you want to go to the battlefield, it's because this majestic 800-mile Yimeng will soon become my actual combat training ground. ”

"What!" Du Fei was shocked, after all, he was just a big-headed soldier at the bottom, it was hard to imagine that Wang Mo's pattern was so big, and he actually wanted to use the entire Yimeng Mountain area as a training ground.

Not caring about Du Fei's shock, Wang Mo continued: "There are tens of thousands of bandits in the Yimeng Mountains, and they are good opponents for actual combat training. The day when the soldiers are trained, I believe it will also be the time when the Yimeng bandits will be completely wiped out. ”

The Yimeng bandits can force the honest people of Dujia Village to go up the mountain to become bandits, and for this alone, Wang Mo has no reason to let go of these bandit gangs of all sizes that are harming one side.

As a Yimeng person. Du Fei had a deep understanding of the suffering of banditry, gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the Yimeng bandits can really be eliminated, even if all the young people in our Dujiazhai are killed in battle." That's worth it, too! ”

In Du Fei's childhood memories, he witnessed the scenes of those bandits rushing into Dujia Village to loot and massacre wantonly, and he went south to join the army in the hope of one day mastering military power, and then leading the troops back to Yimeng to suppress bandits.

Wang Mo patted Du Fei's shoulder and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, just bandits, it's just a stepping stone for our military training." It is not yet qualified to make us pay much for casualties. ”

Wang Mo has enough confidence to say this, and he has already asked the people from Dujiazhai to rush to Jinan. He sent a telegram to the Hubei Governor's Office again, secretly transferring a group of officers and technical soldiers to Shandong.

As long as this group of officers and technical soldiers is used as a framework, and then equipped with powerful weapons and equipment purchased from industrial machine tools, the army that has been trained will not have undergone actual combat training. It's definitely not something that just bandits can contend with.

More than half a month later, at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Yiyuan County, a thick smoke rose.

Wang Mo threw wet wood, branches, and leaves into the fire while looking around vigilantly.

Rustling

A burst of footsteps came, Wang Mo was immediately on guard, and shouted: "Who? ”

Then, a few people came out of the jungle, looked at Wang Mo together, and shouted in surprise: "Young marshal." It's really a young marshal! ”

Seeing the comer, Wang Mo lifted his guard, and a smile also appeared on his face. said: "Okay, Li Jian, you are still on time. ”

That's right, the people who came were the officers and technical soldiers secretly transferred from Hubei by Wang Mo's telegram, and these people were led by Li Jian, commander of the Second Regiment of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army.

Li Jian and the others saw Wang Mo who was rumored to have been assassinated, so they were naturally overjoyed, and trotted in front of Wang Mo with some excitement. Qi Qi stood up and saluted: "See the young marshal!" ”

Wang Mo returned a military salute and asked, "What about the rest?" How long will it take? ”

"Young Marshal, because you demanded that the operation must be secretive and not attract anyone's attention, we rushed here in ten groups. If nothing else, the rest of the group should be here soon. Li Jian reported.

In order to keep secrets, except for Li Jian and the blue wolf of the secret service department, no one among these officers knew that they had rushed to Shandong to assist Wang Mo in forming a new army, and everyone only thought that it was an operation with a high level of secrecy.

It is also a loss that there is no need to carry weapons and equipment, but the personnel have infiltrated Shandong, otherwise it may not be possible to guarantee that it will not attract the attention of the Shandong Beiyang Army.

After a while, the rest of the group rushed over one after another, following the pre-set assembly signal of the rising smoke, and soon the group of 100 officers and technical soldiers was all assembled.

"Okay, we have to hurry up, this smoke must have attracted a lot of people's attention!" Wang Mo shouted at the officers and soldiers who were excited and happy to see him.

Although with the strength of these people, they are not afraid of ordinary bandits and local armed forces, but after all, it is better not to cause trouble.

Afterwards, Wang Mo led everyone to the bushes and jungles at the foot of the mountain, took a large number of weapons and ammunition he purchased from the industrial machine machine, and rushed back to Qingquangu.

When Wang Mo returned to Dujiazhai with a large number of personnel, weapons and ammunition, the entire Dujiazhai was a sensation.

Streams of shiny rifles and boxes of yellow, orange and orange bullets were piled up in the open space in front of the entire village, making everyone in Dujiazhai dumbfounded.

"My God, this is the first time I've seen so many fast guns and ammunition!"

"Look over there, what is that iron pipe, could it be a cannon?"

"What, the cannons have it! Do you still need to be afraid of Guo Datou and red rattail in the future? ”

"That Wang Mo shouldn't be the son of a general or a handsome, otherwise how could he get so many tough guys?"

……

The young people of the guard team were even more excited, and they couldn't put it down one by one to play with the shiny Mauser 1898 rifles, as for the bird guns and earthen guns that were not good before, they had already thrown them aside without pity.

"Master Du, please let people move these weapons and ammunition to the warehouse in the village, and return the wheelbarrows that I borrowed from the nearby villagers before." Wang Mochao said to Dudson, who was also dumbfounded.

Dudson came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, oh, okay, I'll do it." ”

In order to accommodate the officers and technical soldiers who infiltrated Shandong this time, Wang Mo had already asked the people of Dujiazhai to help set up a simple camp, so Wang Mo took a group of officers and technical soldiers to the camp.

After driving for such a long time, these people must have been tired, Wang Mo didn't say anything, and asked everyone to rest, just called Li Jian and the blue wolf to a barracks as a command headquarters to discuss matters.

Walking into the barracks, Wang Mo asked the blue wolf: "Did I ask you to get a map of Shandong, did you bring it?" ”

The wolf nodded, then took a map from his bosom and spread it out on a wooden table in the middle of the barracks.

Wang Mo looked at the map and was quite satisfied, although it was not a military map, it was still meticulous and accurate.

"Sit down." Wang Mo motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then said, "I think you must all be very puzzled, why not only did I not rush back to Hubei after I recovered from my injuries, but I secretly transferred you here." ”

That's right, this is indeed the biggest doubt in the hearts of Li Jian and the blue wolf now, but out of trust and obedience to Wang Mo, they didn't take the initiative to ask.

Wang Mo continued: "Judging from the people who came from the secret transfer, you can guess a little bit. That's right, I'm going to train two or three divisions of a new army in this Yimeng Mountains! ”

A new army with two or three divisions?

Li Jian and the blue wolf were shocked together, they could guess that the young marshal was going to train the troops, but they didn't expect it to be such a large-scale training.

"Young marshal, do you mean that you are going to train two or three divisions here as surprise soldiers to catch the Beiyang Army off guard?" Li Jian asked.

"No!" Wang Mo shook his head and said, "The purpose of my training of the new army here is not to deal with the Beiyang Army, but to target the Japanese!" ”

Japanese?

Li Jian and Blue Wolf were stunned together, they never thought that the young marshal's target would be the Japanese.

Li Jian asked very puzzled: "But, young marshal, there doesn't seem to be a place for the Japanese to set foot in Shandong. ”

"I have received accurate information that once the European war breaks out and the Europeans are unable to take care of the Far East, the Japanese will declare war on Germany under the pretext of sending troops to attack Qingdao and even Shandong!" Wang Mo pointed to the location of Qingdao on the map and said.

In another time and space, after the outbreak of World War I, Germany offered to return the leased land of Jiaozhou Bay to China, but Japan arbitrarily refused to allow China to accept Germany's proposal.

However, half a month later, Japan declared war on Germany and sent troops to capture Qingdao, completely controlling the former German sphere of influence in Shandong.

Therefore, after Wang Mo learned that he was in Yimeng, Shandong, he immediately remembered that Japan was going to send troops to Qingdao, and immediately made the decision to stay in Shandong to train new armaments.

"If we are going to go to war with the Japanese, then no matter how well we cover it up, I'm afraid that sooner or later our identities will be exposed. I am afraid that at that time, the Beiyang Army and the People's Party will stab us in the back. The blue wolf said with some concern.

Wang Mo nodded and said, "That's right, it's possible." If you want to guard against them, it depends on the performance of your secret service! Blue wolf, you will immediately become the director of the Secret Service Division, and I will give you full authority to expand the Secret Service Division, whether it is in the north or in the south, you must place personnel in the past to keep an eye on them for me, don't be afraid to spend money! ”

"Yes!" The blue wolf nodded in response, he had become more and more accustomed to the secret service, and most of the time he even completely forgot his real name, and only thought of himself as a blue wolf hidden in the dark.

"Also, you transfer the new special service personnel trained from Sichuan as soon as possible, and then go out to find out the situation of the bandit forces in the Yimeng Mountains. Take this task as the final assessment of the new special service personnel, and absorb the excellent ones to expand the special service division, understand? Wang Mo instructed the blue wolf again.

"Understood!" The blue wolf stood up and answered.

Wang Mo said to Li Jian again: "The formation and training of the new army will also start immediately, there is not much time left for us, we must use the tens of thousands of bandits in the Yimeng Mountains to conduct actual combat training, and train an elite and strong army as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Li Jian stood up and responded awe-inspiringly.

The gentleman hides the weapon in his body, and when the time comes!

If the Japanese army really dared to send troops to Shandong like the history of that time and space, he would definitely send a big surprise to the Japanese!

Wang Mo sneered in his heart. (To be continued)
